said the road was heavily mined.
 The enemy, however, was fighting back on Lebuan Island, where the Australians were within a half mile of the Timbalai airstrip, about 500 yards from the northwest coast.
 On the mainland, the Australians advanced IT 1-2 miles in the first four days of the invasion in their drive to Brunei Nowhere did the Japanese attempt stand. Some opposition did develop near Brunei Wednesday, but it was ineffective against the Ninth Division, veterans of Tobruk and Fl Alamen in the western desert.
 There was one Banzai attack after the Australians took Brunei. It was made by a squad which con- sisted of one officer with 8 sword and seven soldiers carrying knives fastened to sticks. They charged a Bren gun. All of them were killed. The Bren gunner was angry be- cause he shot the hilt off the of ficer's sword, prized souvenir.
 It was announced here today that over 50 Liberators from the Far Eastern Air forces, in the biggest fire raid of the southwest Pacific war, dropped over 25,000 gallons of jellied gasoline bombs on the Hong kong causeway Tuesday. Pilots re- ported the entire eastern portion of the target area was covered with black smoke when they left.
 Marines Advance
 In the Philippines fighting, the 37th Division continued its advance along the Cagayan valley road after breaking through Orioung Pass. Baltic village was captured and the 37th was only nine miles from where highway five enters the broad floor of the Sagayan valley proper
 To the north and northwest of Bagabag, on highway four, the Jap anese were resisting strongly with artillery, mortar, and machinegun fire. The Americans were finding scores of Japanese trucks, wrecked by American planes which have secured the valley for several weeks. The airforce again dropped 403 tons of bombs in support of the north ern Luzon operations
 Northeast of Baguio, the 33rd Division captured the towns of Tabio and Ambuclao.
 On Mindanao, there were only mopping-up actions and minor gains.
 In the East Indies, commando night raid was made on an enemy garrison in the Sanghe Islands. Six large warehouses and motor launch es and other boats were destroyed.

constitutional convention to make revisionS.
 3. Such a convention to be call ed not sooner than five nor later than 10 years on a two-thirds vote of the assembly and vote of any seven security council members, and to recommend amendments by a Swo-thirds vote.
 4. Such amendments to come into force on ratification by the big five plus majority of the other members of the organization.
 Evatt Leader
 The leader of the five to 10 year proposal is the same man who led the unsuccessful fight against the veto-Australian foreign minister Herbert V. Evatt.
 Cmdr. Harold E. Stassen and Rus sian delegate K. V. Novikov led the big five argument. Novikov outlined four reasons why the time of such convention should not be speci- fed:
 CD Then a conference could be called at any time; @ It avoid the appearance of temporary organi- sation; (3) The charter may never aeed major revision; (4 If char Ter is unsuccessful it may be neces- sary to call a revision convention in less than five years.

 The infantry first seized Yaeju- Dake hill, 50o-foot height known also as hill l67, then pressed on and captured the shallow summit of hill l80 on the northeast rim of the southern plateau.
 Appeal For Infantry
 It. Col Caneila Nolan's third battalion took hill l80 at II a. m. after getting an urgent appeal from forward units: They're so damned many Japs up here we can't get them all. Can you send up more in- fantry?" Achievements wiped out the enemy forces in an hour.
 Capt. Arsene P. Bonifcae of In- dianapoliS, Ind, staff officer, said a rifleman could cover the entire remaining Japanese area with rifle from the hill.
 A Tokyo broadcast said more than 600 American planes now were oper- ating in the Okinawa area. Some 200 Warhaw!. and Corsair fighters and bombers were based on Ie is- land, 100 at Kita airfield and 160 a tNaka airfield, both on Okinawa itself, Tokyo said.
 The remainder of the American planes were from six auxiliary car- rlers, the broadcast said.

of explosives a day to be heaped on the enemy homeland.
 We believe we can do the same thing with industrial Japan that We did with industrial Germany" he said. We hope it will ease the load of the Army and Navy, but they aren't going to wait until we finish.
 We are just starting. Before long, we will be using more than twice as many B-29s as we ever have before and more than double the rate Of bombs His statement enviSioned 1,OO0- plane, 10,000-ton Superfortress raids
 Arnold revealed he had come to the Pacific to determine how many of the 12,000 planes the United States used against Germany could be accommodated at Pacific bases. He said every possible foot of every possible land mass would be utiliz- ed.
 He made no comment on Tokyo broadcast reporting that scores of Flying FortreSses and Liberators from the Eighth Air Force already had arrived at bases in the Philip pines.
 He revealed that the same syste- matic bombing plan followed in the destruction of Germany already had been set in motion against Japan.
 He defended the American policy of mass fire raids on large indus trial cities as opposed to pin-point bombing
 The Japs have thousands of small backyard, cellar and garage factories where it is possible they are constructing their suicide planes,' he said. Complete and ut- ter destruction of this industry is our program"
 Ask And Receive
 If Japan wants it, that is what she is going to get. Right at thj- moment-l0 a. m. Japanese tim 52o B-29s are dropping 5000 tors bombs on Osaka
 At Osaka, the Superfortress struck the eastern portion of the city south or Osaka Castle and the northern section between the Yodo and Ka- nzaki rivers.
 Within the target area lay such choice targets as the Kwoyo preci- sion Works Company, the Amatsuii Steel Ball Manufacturing Company The Osaka Wakayama Iron Works and numerous machine tool, chem ical and electrical equipment works.
 Iron and steel plants, machine tool factories and big railway freight station were hit at Amaga- saxl, a city of 100000 persons.
 It was just year ago today that B-29s from India made the first Superfortress raid on Japan. Nine ty-flve planes set out for the steel city of Yaawta on Kyushu, but only AT reached the target and dropped @ tons of bombs. Most of the others were grounded in China.
 The record B-29 raid to date was 564-plane, 4-119-ton attack on Tokyo May "A.

 Stop firing; I'll bring in my bud dies!"
 He emerged with eight other Jap anese troops.
 Some Japanese wishing to surren- der were being shot down by their own comrades, however.
 Other Japanese troops were com mitting suicide when American troops cut off or threatened their defenses. In the final phase of the battle, many probably will throw themselves off the 100-foot cliffs at the southern tip of the island in last orgy of self-destruction remin- iscent of Guam and Saipan.

peace"
 The administrator warned that it was imitation after the armistice of the first World War that set us up for the smashup of 192C-2l," and that 'all of the factors which were present then are present today, only infinitely more so. It can happen again; it will happen again unless we all resolve this time to see the job through to the end We are all weary of regulations, of red tape and of bureaucracy. But we have come too far and have tco much at stake to quit before the job is done"
 Bowles, who joined the OPA as state administrator here told his audience that its always been good to get back home to Connec- ticut. It's doubly so now to get back home from Washington, which he described as "a hot spot in more ways than one. The pro- ceSseS of government sometime gen crate more heat than light. In Washington ones vision gets blur red and ones perspective distorted"
 He said that the OPA reconver- sion program has the key elements of speed of decision, and flexibility," and falls into three parts: Indus try-Wide pricing for those who can- not proceed under their last ceil- ing prices at which they sold in 1941 or l942; individual price ad- justments for firms whose costs are out of line with the rest of the industry; and what he called a major step in lifting the load of red tape from small business
 This three-way pricing program we earnestly hope will speed the reconversion process it should provide excellent profits as produc- tion gets rolling"

to seek refuge at the home of wine merchant who was an old friend. Before his entry into diplomatic af- fairs, Ribbentrop was champagne salesman.
 The wine merchant refused him sanctuary, however, and Ribbentrop went to the boarding house where he was captured and registered as an ordinary guest. He went unrec- ognized and unchallenged until ar- rested at 9:30 a. m. yesterday.
 He walked to British headquart- CTS in Hamburg with the arresting officers. A medical examination there revealed the can of poison. He subsequently, was taken to Luene- berg and confined to the same house where Gestapo Heinrich Himmler committed suicide with poison last month
 Ribbentrop will be flown to an unannounced destination later to- day.
 Long Search Ended
 The arrest ended a search that spread to all corners of Germany, Denmark and Austria and complet- I'd the roundup of top Nazis known definitely to be at large.
 Of his cohorts, Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering was an Allied prisoner, Himmler was a suicide, and Hitler, propaganda chief Paul Jo- seph Goebbels and Nazi party chief Martin Bormann were reported to have died in the battle of Berlin. Russian sources believed Hitler and Bfn1osrn stiii alive, 1iowever
 The three men who arrester Rib bentrop said he was passive, almost docile.
 But investigators were so skeptical that they remained unconvinced de- spite his own admission and the Identification of his wine-merchant friend. Only when his sister con- firmed the Identification at what they described a moving scene" were they certain.
 Correspondents will be given air travel facilities to go to Lueneberg to see Ribbentrop, but officers said

 "No."
 But you heard the explosion?" "Yes."
 Then you saw Cyr lying on the foor?'
 Yes" Then Coscia interjected T lose my mind. l lose everything.
 Did you at any time intend tc shoot Cyr?"
 No, did not"
 Did you hear any voice iron the other side?"
 'No.'
 When Coscia was asked to dem- onstrate exactly how he pushed his gun through the door, the accused picked up the gun, states exhibit and went to the center of the court room to the Cyr door, also an exhibit Three of the four broken pieces ot panel were set in place and the re- maining hole, close to the center of the door, was but few inches in size.
 Coscia took the gun and banged the barrel against the hole, but it missed, and did not go through He tried again and failed to make it penetrate. He brought the gun down to the floor and looked at his lawyer and then back at the hole.
 Raising the gun again and turn ing the barrel sideways he pushed hard and it went through the small hole at slant. CoScia then stated, in reply to his lawyers question, that the gun went through the hole at slant on the day of the shooting.
 Mrs. Cyr Screams
 Coscia said Cyr'S body was about a foot from the door, when he saw it. Mrs. Cyr was screaming, he said.
 Coscia then testified he was 51 years old and had never been ar- rested or fined. He identified a hunt ing license and said he had two guns.
 Do you ever use them to shoot people" his lawyer asked. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, ." CoScia quickly answered.
 Coscia said that after the gun exploded he went upstairs. He said he could not rememper taking the shell out although he later remem- bered throwing it into the street. On his way to the police station he I. oered meeting Domenic la {. and Louis Passaro and also V Mambruno, who drove him to headquarters. but he could not remember any of the police officers, he said. He could not remember the coroner, the stenographer, and numerous other persons whose names Mascolo mentioned, he testi- fled.
 Asked about the condition of his mind he replied, Tt was bad, bad, bad" He said plenty lot" of peo- pie questioned him.
 During the croSs-examination which started shortly before p. m., Fitzgerald asked about the vari- ous encounters with Cyr that Cos cia had described in his direct testi- mony.
 Attorney Mascolo interrupted many times, stating he wanted to make sure the accused understood the questions. Fitzgerald finally asked the court to allow use of an interpreter, and Italo Delfino was called, over objections from Mas colo, who said his client has a suf- ficient Knowledge of English.
 To the first question placed by Fitzgerald and repeated in Italian by the interpreter, Coscia replied T can not answer any more. l am tired The court called a 1O-min- ute recess.
 Tired And Nervous
 ReSuming questioning, Coscia was again asked the same question, and he replied, I'm not in stage to speak. am tired and nervous" The words were uttered in Italian.
 It was nearly 4:30 at the time, and Judge Cornell asked the inter- preter to tell Coscia he must be prepared to testify today. Coscia replied, Very well" and the court then adjourned.
