-84 SET ASIDE BY KING Belgian Monarch Gives Large African Area for Research by Scientists. ANIMAL SNCTUARY 1In the interest of scientific research, King Albert of the Belgians has de- creed that a large area be set aside in Belgian Congo for the preservation of the fauna and flora of Africa and for the scientific study of rare species in their natural environments. Announcement of the establishment of the sclentific preserve was made through the Associated Press by Prince de Ligne, the Belgian Ambassador at ‘Washington, on receipt of cable dis- patches from Brussels. The sanctuary will be known as the Albert National Park. It is situated in the Eastern part of the Belgian Congo, between Lake Kivu and Lake Edward, and comprises approximately 800,000 acres. Administration will be in the hands of a commission on which King Albert has already appointed two American scientists, Dr. John D. Mer- Tiam, president of the Carnegie Insti- tution, and Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the American Museum of Natural History. A decree by King Albert Prohibits under severe penalties the killing, cap- ture or molestation of any wild animal within the area, including those which gre considered dangerous. It also is prohibited to destroy or remove any tree or wild plant or to change in any way the aspect of the landscape. The sanctuary will be policed by Belgian colonial officers, and no one will be allowed to enter without a special rmit. pe"Mnny rare species of animal which have almost disappeared from other parts of the world,” the announcement said, “are making their last stand in this section of Africa, and it is King ‘Albert's purpose to preserve them 0 that scientists may come and study them in their natural and primitive surroundings. Scientists recognize that the study of animals in their natural habitat as infinitely more useful than the study of cnpti‘ves or of dead speci- ns in laboratories.” nl‘e’rhe site was selected by the late Carl Akeley, eminent naturalist and explorer, who recommended that a sanctuary for gorillas be established there for the preservation of that rap- 1dly disappearing species. King Albert, in adopting the idea, enlarged upon fit, and several American scientific insti- tutions are contemplating the sending of expeditions to take advantage of the opportunities thus afforded. UNIONTOWN PROSECUTOR DIES BY OWN HAND Attorney’'s Suicide and Slaying of Bootleg War Victim Held Not Connected. By the Associated Press. UNIONTOWN, Pa, vestigators said today they believed there was no connection between the suicide_Saturday of District Attorney N. W. Rosenberg and the slaying Wed- | nesday of John F. Donohoe, alleged vic- time of bootleg warfare. Associates expressed the opinion that nervous strain he underwent in in- vestigation of the Donohoe slaying might have prompted Rosenberg's sui- cide. But Ma{ Lynn G. AMams, head of the Pennsylvania State police, said he did not believe Rosenberg was in- lved in conditions leading up to the onohoe murder. Rosenberg was found dead in his office, a bullet, wound in his head, a short time after he had conferred with Adams, ENGLISH TEXTILE STRIKE GOES INTO SECOND WEEK | By the Associated Press. : MANCHESTER, England, August 5.— The Lancashire textile stoppage entered its second week today, apparently no Tearer solution than it was Jast Mon- day when 500,000 workers remained away from the mills in protest at an enforced reduction of 12! per cent in their wages. Although the half million strikers lost about $5,000,000 in wages last week, they apparently have not begun to worry about their situation. Manchester vestaurants, movies and amusement places, were filled yesterday with crowds of strikers, ‘happy.

PRODUCERS TO MEET WITH EQUITY HEADS Secrecy Veils Plans of Two War- ring Groups in Attempts to Reach Truce. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, August 5.—Secrecy veiled the plans of motion picture pro- ducers and representatives of the Actors’ Equity Association to meet here today to resume their negotiations for a_settlement of differences arising out of the union’s efforts to bring about a closed shop in the talking motion pic- ture studios. Neither side would reveal the meeting place nor the hour of the scheduled conference. The first meeting, arranged by half a dozen prominent actors who are members of the association, was held last Friday, but nothing was given out concerning it. In the face of these negotiations or- ganized producers announced Saturday that 58 additional actors had signed “standard form” contracts—the type | opposed by Equity. The announcement | said that 515 such contracts had been signed by actors since the closed shop was to have gone into effect, June 5. Since then Equity has suspended from membership 15 actors for signing simi- lar contracts. Equity has demanded a form of con- tract which will prevent its members from appearing in any picture in which non-member actors are employed. The | producers have opposed such contracts. | Red Lizard Shoes in Paris. | | | Even Paris sat up and noticed a pair | of red lizard court shoes with oxidized silver buckles which appeared there recently.

At $225 (less Radiotrons)—a price made possible by the great manu- facturing resources of RCA—this superb instrument, without a peer in the radio art, is no longer a luxury to be enjoyed by a few fortu- nate owners. Receiving sets of comparable quality formerly cost from $500 to $1000—but they did not equal the new “66” in fidelity of tone, or simplicity of operation. To improve the Radiola Super-Heterodyne is to gild the lily—but here is an expertly designed broadcast receiving instrument in which the amazingly efficient Super-Heterodyne circuit has been brought to a higher level of achievement. RCA engineers have again added to the wonderful qualities of the Super-Heterodyne—finer sensitivity, more selectivity, a greater reserve of power for distant stations, and still richer tone quality—the greatest essential of a fine radio. The latest type of the RCA Electro-! reproducer is coupled with the new Super-Heterodyne—a combination that offers the utmost in radio realism—from a whisper to a brass band.
