No It's just rope -. at the break
ing point. But. frankly, it's good
illustration of how'a man feels when
his nerves are worn to fragile"
The Church has never claimed that
religion is a cure for frazzled nerves.
But a mans Christian faith does this
for him:
1t shows him Purpose in life more
important than mere existence. 1t
shows him a Power more effective
than his own strength. 1t shows him
a Future more rewarding than selfish
gain. And it gives him courage more
lasting than the sheer force of his
human will.
With these spiritual resources,
founded in the certainty that God
understands and helps. man never
reaches "the breaking point" For
when his human reserve is exhausted
he has only begun to tap the vast
reservoir of Divine Strength.

Robbery Trial
Set Tomorrow

BOSTON. Aug. 4 (P).-Trial of
eight men charged with the ST.
2l8,2l1 Drinks robbery of 1850
opens Monday at Suffolk Coun-
tvs courthouse, but it probably
will be weeks later before a word
Of testimony is heard.
The fabulous case may we'll es-
tablish another first"
1t was the biggest cash robbery
In history. The six-year man
hunt for the robbers was the
greatest in criminal annals. And
the trail may be the longest.
Two thousand men and wo-
men in Suffolk County have
been called as prospective jurors.
They will appear in groups of
100 a day until IA jurors-a reg
ular panel and two alternates-
have been chosen.
Ultimately, possibly in a
month, the defendants will ex-
haust their challenges. totaling
about 1900. Only then will the
actual trial begin.
All defendants maintain they
cannot have a fair trial. They
contend the Justice Department
and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoo
yer made that impossible.
When six of the group were
rounded up in January a state
ment distributed to news agen-
cies read in part:
1.-THE Department Of Justice
announced that intensive in
vestigation by the FBI for the
past six years has resulted in
the solution of the million dollar

The statement then said: u.

persons as r." and named
them.
Attorney Paul T. Smith, coun-
sci for the six, regards the word

ment. He said mentioning the
men in the same statement is an
insurmountable obstacle to a
fair and impartial trial.

Zoos New Okopis Lond
In Top Physical Shape

The Zoos newly acquired
okapis are young and in splen-
did physical condition, DR.. The
odore H. Reed. the animal park
veterinarian. reported today.
Early this morning he helped
to supervise unloading of the
Extremely rare animals in New
York.
THE female is a typical fe-
male, shy and retiring and ex-
ltremely graceful" said DR.. Reed
thus qualifying himself as one
OF the Nations most gallant
males. "She is about 312 years
old. The male is 4 or 5 and
in really good shape. Both are
in prime flesh"
The age Of the animals is
important. DR.. Reed said il
will be several years until the
raritieS reach adulthood. Grow
ing up together should furnish
the propinquity which may
eventually result in the first
Iokapi breeding In captivity.
Gift Of Belgian Government
Zoo Director William M. Mann
said the okapis, first encoun-
tered by science in 1900. are a
gift of the Belgian government

ton The Belgians also sent
single okapis to the San Diego
and st. Louis ZOOS.
They came to the United States
from Hamburg, Germany. Their
airplane flew the Azores to pro-
vide them a smooth passage, DR..
Reed said.
This morning he saw the
okapis safely into the Agriculture
Department quarantine center
at Clifton. N. j. The animals
must spend 30 days there before
delivery to the zoo here.
Related to CRATES
Okapis are related to CRATES.
But their hind quarters are
striped in zebra fashion. They
have also been described as an
telopes and oxen.
Among the rarest Of animals,
their habitat is deep in the Bel
gian Congo. Except for a few
daring explorers, pigmy tribes
men were the only humans who
saw them before a half century
ago.
Like CRATES. okapis are sup
posed to be mute. But one of
the Washington pair emitted a
little squeal today as it was being
put aboard a truck.
"At that hour, if somebody
showed me on a truck Id squeal,
too" DR.. Reed said.

Early risers or bedders chance for good
celestial show the next few days by casting eyes south
easterly.
With the naked eye, better yet with binoculars
they Will see the planets Venus and Jupiter flirting in
the heavens Though actually hundreds of millions of miles
apart they appear close together at this time and brilliant
with their sparkling against the morning sky
With glasses one might the four bright moons
which circulate around Jupiter, Calico them
first.
Astronomers advise the time just before dawnsome-
where between and an the best time to catch the
show.
Venus herself is an early riser coming into about
32 hours before dawn. Venus will remain bright for
months. but gradually will move away from Jupiter.
Next Tuesday night the position Of the planets will be
such that together with the crescent Of the old they
will form a triangle.

Long Delay in Trial
Is Busis for Action

The United States Court of
Appeals today set aside a rob-
berry conviction On the grounds
that the Government waited too
long before bringing the case to
trial.
The delay violated the sus-
poets constitutional right to a
speedy trial, the court held.
The case involved Ellsworth
P. Taylor, 40 Negro. who had
been convicted and sentenced
ito serve three to nine years last
April for the 1850 robbery of a
woman in the Devonshire Court
Apartments. Cash and jewelry
worth $18 had been taken.
Three months after the rob-
berry. Taylor was tried in New
York for burglary and drew a
five to seven and a half year
sentence. Earlier this year a
writ was issued to return him to
the District for trial in the
apartment house robbery for
which he had been indicted in
1854.
The appellate court held thai
the Government should have
moved earlier to have him re.
turned from the New York pris.
on to stand trial.
g.. We believe that the Ions

dictment, the long delay be.

the failure of the record tC

lori even knew that he was
under indictment, and his Ions

The ruling stressed that it ap.

Joined in for the latter, giving
the proceedings a definite dance

The symphony musicians
seemed little puzzled about the
whole affair before the rehearsal
got under way. But they got in
the mood pretty quickly. Some
of them audibly launched into
foot-tapping during some of the
Dukes rhythmic sorties. And the
orchestral entries showed obvi-
Gus enthusiasm.
Mr.. Ellington was born in
Washington. just before the
rehearsal began he recalled the
place, near Twentieth street and
Ward place NV. He attended
Armstrong High School, and he
also worked for time at a sign
shop near Sixth and 7 streets
NV.
Painter and Pianist
He recalled that he used TO
paint signs in the daytime and
play the piano at night in night
clubs around town.
1t wasn't until after he went
to New York in 1923 that he
started his first band however.
Mr.. Ellington's son. Mercer.
who also was born here. came
along for the rehearsal. He
said his father gets much OF his
inspiration from serious music.
At one point in the rehears-
ing, he remarked.
That's taken off of Bach"

This was apparent at a re-

For one thing, the symphony

Mrs. Ellington, who also was

grand piano right behind MI
Geisler.
Mr.. Ellington also brought
along some reinforcements
THESE were Jimmy WOOD. a dou-
bic bass player, and Sam Wood
yard, a drummer. Mr.. Wood
yard brought along two bass
drums and a set OF traps.
Mr.. Geisler and the Duke had
a pleasant chat just before re-

by the press when he said he did
not favor a curfew law.
He pointed out that a blanke.
curfew provision interfered with
legitimate evening activities of
juveniles and that it was impos-
Sible to enforce.
Personal Views
Inspector Winters told the
group. however. that anti-loiter-
ing laws would give the Police
Department a line of demarca-
ton to go on and that they could
be adequately enforced. The in
spector pointed out that these
were his personal views.

Welfare was overloaded now and
that such facilities were badly
