Are the gorillas skating on
the slick floor of their cage?
Is the female Emu laying
eggs and, If so, how many?
Have the porcupines stuck any
Of the keepers lately? And
have there been any births or
deaths?
These are questions that
come up and are answered
every day in the Washington
Zoo, a city Of some 1890 en-
gaging but inarticulate inhab-
itantS.
The mayor" Of this self
contained, 165-acre community
of furred, feathered and filmed
individuals is DR.. Theodore
Reed, a Washington-born 20
ologist who regards his charges
and their welfare as second
only to his own family.
Every morning, when DIR.
Reed checks in at his office in
the National Geological Park

receives a report from the An

Poyne Guilty Of Rape,
Will Get Prison Term

Ronald K. Payne was found
guilty of rape and robbery yes
terday by a District Court
jury in its fourth day oi
deliberations.
Payne, 81, was found guilty
of robbing and raping the man.
ager of a Brightwood speciality
store last May. He also was
found guilty of assault with
intent to rape a customer In
the store.
The jury reached a verdict
around noon yesterday after
receiving the case Thursday
Judge Luther w. Youngdahl, on
Saturday, had given the jury
one more day to decide the case
Divided on Sanity
The jury had told the judge
earlier it was split over the
question of Payne's sanity
During the three-day trial
Payne's attorneys, Eugene A
Chase and Lillian c. Kennedy
tried to show that Payne was
mentally i'll at the time of the
crime and therefore should be
declared not guilty by reason
Of insanity.

LIFE AT THE ZOO
Health Of His Charges Charts DR.. Reeds Day

a shipment has arrived from q
dealer or another ZOO to add to
the menagerie. The happiest
days, of course, are when q
baby has been born. Zoos are
like homes in that respect.
The longest days are when
a creature is sick or ailing.
In every case, DR.. Reed and
his aides, Associate Director j
Lear Grimmer and DR.. Ted
Roth, have full days and busy
nights. If an animal is sick
or frightened, it must receive
special treatment; if there has
been a baby, it must be cher
ished and guarded; if there has
been a death, there must be
an autopsy to determine the
cause of death and perhaps
knowledge will be the only
gain.
Here is a typical sampline
of entries in the daily AnimaI
Department record:
Monday - A Tokay GeckC
from the Crocodile Section hid
in keepers coat. On the way
home, the keeper felt some
thing in his sleeve at Four
teenth street and Arkansas
avenue NV. and got out tc
investigate. Upon doing this

lizard more or less treated as
a house pet in tropical coun-
tries) jumped from the coat
and escaped across the street.
Editors Note: This is the
first escape from the Zoo since
a male peacock fled at the
height of the mating season in
1857 but was brought back to
face his responsibilities within
a few hourS.)
Tuesday-The female Emu
has now laid five eggs. In ad-
dition, the Go-Away Birds con-
dition has improved.
Wednesday-The Cooks Tree
Boa died; this snake, received
from British Guiana, would not
eat. The feet of the Zebu need
trimming. Keeper Osgood stuck
a porcupine quill in his finger
Friday -. The Kookaburras
show signs OF nesting. Now, six
Emu eggs.
Saturday There are now
seven Emu eggs. Eight rein
deer have been taken to the
Peace Pageant.
Sunday - The Fat Tailed
GerbilS appear to be mating.

Parrotlet was found hung in its
cage, apparently having caught
its neck through the wire. DR.,

a closing argument, asked the
jurors to recommend the death
penalty, which they failed to do.
If they had, Judge Youngdahl
would have been bound by law
to sentence Payne to death. In
the absence Of this recon-
mendation the sentence will be
a prison term.
However, Mr.. Chase said
after the verdict was read that
he and Mrs. Kennedy will make
a motion for a new trial this
week. IF that is denied we will
take the case to the United
States Court of Appeals and to
the Supreme Court if necessary
Our position is that it (the
verdict) should have been not
guilty by reason of insanity"
Another Pleaded Guilty
A codefendant in the case;
Linton Mordecai, II, pleaded
guilty to raping the customer
in the store.
Mordecai testified as q
Government witness, backing up
testimony of the two women
that Payne had raped the
manager in the presence of the
customers 4-year-old daughter,

The death of Senator r
Schoeppel of Kansas leaves a
Republican vacancy on the
Senate Appropriations Sub
committee for the District.
A successor is expected to be
named by early next week. The
new Republican committeeman
probably will become a major
spokesman for his party on Dis
trict affairs in Congress.
Senator Schoeppel generally
was counted as a conservative.
He conscientiously attended
each session of the week long
hearing held last session on the
District money bill by Sub
committee Chairman Byrd,
Democrat of West Virginia. The
late Senator urged funda-
mentals in education and
economy in the city's expand
ing welfare program.
It was due mainly to Senator
Schoeppel's quiet, behind-the-
scenes persuasion that the Dis
trict money bill, with contro-
versial welfare cutbacks, was
cleared on the Republican side
of the Senate almost without
floor debate.
Senator Schoeppel was the
second Republican Senator to
die since the 87th Congress
convened. The other, Senator
Bridges Of New Hampshire, sat
on the Senate District Appro-
priations Subcommittee ex-
officio as chairman of the
Republican Policy Committee

Now It's Cheap to Send
Wire to Congressman

showed that seven out of 10
persons, or rs million adults,
would like to urge their elected
representatives here to do
something, but that fewer than

Community Council of Greater
Washington that religious OBJ
servances be dropped in area
public schools.
Though the resolution n,
adopted at the federation's

Gil, the action referred to the
letters addressed to seven
school boards earlier this
month by the council request
ing prohibition of religious
observances and practices in
the public schools.
In protest, the federation
resolution declared that if this
should become a fact it
will in effect place the school
administrators and parents in

that witnesses to acts of vio-
lence must come forward"
Two downtown precincts, the
first and tenth, showed in
creases in crime of more than
20 per cent last year.
Petty Larceny Downtown
The first precinct recorded
more than 1900 petty larcenies
in the 12-month period-more
than half the serious" crimes
committed in the precinct. But
the reason for the high num-
ber is that the precinct includes
the main downtown shopping
district.
The FBI no longer considers
petty larcenieS serious enough
to carry figures on them in its
annual report, but the city
figures still include them.
Chief Robert V. Murray
wants petty larcenieS recorded,
but readily admits they are not
a prime factor in determining
precinct manpower needs. His
work-load determinations are
mostly guided by the number of
homicideS, rapes, assaults and
robberies. This re-evaluation is
made four times a year and
is directly related to the num-
ber of new police officers COM
ing out of the training academy
every three months.
Chief Murray said a precinct
such as the fourth-the heart
of the Southwest redevelop-
ment areas gradually being
assigned fewer men because
large numbers of residents
have moved out in recent years.
Last year, for example, the
fourth precinct reported Alb
serious crimes, compared to the
second precincts 2,710.
The chief said he plans no
radical changes in assigning
men to the Districts precincts.
If percentages were banded
about carelessly, the city might
be shocked by the Harbor Pre-
cinct's awesome 1878 increase
in crime over the previous year.
Actually, however, this area
had only II cases in 1860 and
Is in 1861. The Harbor Precinct
had by far the fewest crimes
lin the city.
