Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
The judgment of conviction in this Dyer act case is affirmed.
The only point is an assertion of incompetent representation. The conten tion is that taking the ear and leaving so much evidence lying around shows irrational behavior that negatives the necessary intent.
On the full facts, we cannot say that it was incumbent on counsel to make an insanity issue.
