Zoo Is Expecting
|NeW Arrivals With
| Advent of Sprinq

Springtime soon should bring baby
deer, buffalo, wild cattle, Barbary
sheep and even more unusual new
arrivals to delight Zoo visitors, DR..
William M. Mann, Zoo director
said today.
Many of the blessed events will

dictable than Hollywood celebrities.
He can say there will be no lion
cubs this year
Most of the births occur in April,
May and June. Most unusual birth
last year was a baby giraffe, the
only one in the history of the Zoo.
DR.. Mann often trades new arrivals
in order to increase the variety of
animals, but he never sells them.
If he did, the money would 70 back
to the Treasury, he explained.

missed on motion of Maurice D.

wood Hamilton, one of the jurors
selected, on the ground he had
served on a jury last year, and the
motion succeeded in disqualifying
the entire panel. New jury COM
missioners were sworn in and the
court recessed until noon. The
third panel was to be named dur

Tidal Basin Blossoms
ToLastAnother Week;
Rain Deters Visitors

Nature lovers will get one more
chance to spend Sunday with the
cherry blossoms, Park Police pre-
dicted today, unless heavy winds or
rains blow the blooms down this
week.
Less than half the expected 250,-
900 visitors were on hand yesterday
to view the pink-and-white display
as steady drizzle kept all but a
hardy 100000 at home. More than
100 Metropolitan and Park police
men had their hands full anyway,
with the rainfall increasing the
number of motorists as it sharply
cut the pedestrian visitors.
Z Capt. Mark II. Raspberry of the
Park Police said Saturdays crowd
Of $4,000 approached a near record
but yesterday was only an average
Sunday to the railroads, the inn
keepers and the downtown traffic
police.
Two Arrests Made.
The first visitors began arriving
in the Tidal Basin area around
7:30 am, just before the rain. OBJ
servers said the precipitation-which
reached .06 of an inch, according
to the Weather Bureau-had little
effect on the blossoms. A heavier
rain might have caused some dam
age.
Police made only two arrests
among the visitors for picking bios
SONS, both of them women. Mrs
Ursula Spurlock, 26, of Columbus
Ohio, and Mrs. Ann Elizabeth Rapp
rs, OF Baltimore, were charged with
destruction of Government prop
erty and posted s25 each at the
fourth precinct to guarantee ap-
pearance in Municipal Court tomor-
row morning. The charge carries q
fine of from SIS to $25.
Amateur photographers were un-
deferred and shutters clicked mer-
rily. ut-of-State traffic was heavy,
Capt. Raspberry said, and taxicab
drivers did a rushing business il,
the ranks of those who were willing
to see the blossoms if they didn't
have to walk.
Traffic Was No Problem.
Traffic was no problem because
the police detail was geared to
handle double the number of auto
mobiles which streamed around the
Basin. A check made at Inlet
Bridge showed that 1920 vehicles
passed between 10 am. and 6 pm
Official counters at the Indepen-
dence avenue entrance to the area
marked 16,400 cars.
Capt. Raspberry said police usually
figure four persons to a car and
added in an additional $4,000 pedes-
trians. Police reported no accidents
but few bent bumpers went unre-
ported.
The highest temperature yester-
day was 48 degrees at 8 pm, 10 de-
grees below the average for this time
of year. The low was AZ degrees
at 1925 am, the forecaster said. The
mercury today will range between
A and So degrees, according to the
