for the 81 to 81 age limit and the

Of Rowley w. Phillips, well known

Robbins fraud case in New York is
expected to be set when the case is
called in the United States District

It was stated generally here and

the case is on the docket of the fed

row that the case will not actually
start.
Several continuances have been
asked for and granted in the case,
most of the continuances being
sought by the government. In most
cases the cause for continuance has
been the fact that there is a great
scarcity Of judges in the New York
federal area and the fact that the
dockets of the federal court have
been clogged.
It was predicted today though
that a definite trial date will be set
tomorrow.
