accomplished in an agile and spectac-
ular manner, after a fashion set by
Douglas Fairbanks in his hey-day.
The Representative, dressed in blue
trousers, white shirt and ten
mis- shoes, was taking the air with
other inmates in an exercise ward at
the big Maryland hospital.
Suddenly, Zioncheck dumbfounded
guards by leaping from a porch to
window ledge, and from there to the
top of a 71a-foot wire fence. The
Representative swung to the ground
and disappeared in burst of speed.
The guards could not hope to rival
this athletic feat. They were COM
PEELED to go around the fence, and
Zioncheck gained q start he never
relinquished.
Throughout the afternoon and far
into the night, guards, reinforced by
police, combed the hospital reserva-
ton and surrounding community.
Rumors kept coming in that Zion
check had been seen in the vicinity
Of Towson, and these were followed
up in fresh durries of police activity.
Denies Knowing Whereabouts.
Attorney zimmerman told reporters
he did not know the whereabouts of
either Zioncheck or his bride. He said
he believed Mrs. Zioncheck was with
friends in Maryland, but doubted If
Zioncheck knew where she was or had
rejoined her.
zimmerman expressed the hope that
zioncheck had gotten out of Mary
land and would stay away and rest.
''He needs it," zimmerman said, "for
I think he will be out there in Wash

primaries for denomination.
With regard to Zioncheck's mental
condition, DR.. Arthur E. Pattrell of

the impulse of an elated individual"
Fears Effect on Condition"
DR.. Pattrell feared the escape might
have bad effect on "the sick mans
condition"
The physician added that he did
not consider zioncheck dangerous"
but felt 1t more likely Zioncheck
would be friendly toward those he
came in contact with.
The Commissioners, in applying for
a lunacy hearing, expressed the belief
Zioncheck was a person "of homicidal
tendencies" who was dangerous to be
at large" and should be placed in
an institution.

DES MONIES, Iowa, June 29.+-
Representative William Lemke, the
Union party's presidential candidate,
wooed the support of corn belt farm
ers today with an attack on Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace and "guaran-
teed cost of production" pledge.
Lemke chose Wallace's home town
Des Moines--to open his Midwestern
drive. Offering his version of the
true story of the A. A. A. and its
processing taxes, he declared:
The Secretary of Agriculture
reached his long, vandalous fingers
into the farmers pocket and took out
a dollar. Finally he slipped dime
back in the other pocket, and through
his propaganda department shouted
look at the dime I gave you so loud
that the farmer forgot the dollar he
took"
Old Parties AsSailed.
He assailed both Democratic and
Republican parties in addresses here
and at Burlington. He asserted:
With either party in power in
the national administration-I'm not
speaking of Congress-you'n get Wall
Street back of the scenes"
Lemke also moved to present his
case through his campaign manager
Representative Usher Burdick, col
league from his home State Of North
Dakota, before the annual convention
of the National Farmers Holiday
Association. Burdick was scheduled
to speak before the organization at
St. Paul, Mimi, tomorrow. The aSSo-
citation, sponsor Of farm strikes In
1882 and 1888, called for formation OF
united front" of agricultural groups
in IS States as it prepared to listen to
the new party's overtures.
Brainless Trust Hit.
Speaking under auspices OF the
National Union for Social Justice and
the Townsend clubs, Lemke promised
to kick out the brainleSS trust
guarantee farmers production costs
and adequate security of the aged

He charged the Agriculture De-
partment was manned by "curly-
haired boys from Boston who wouldn't
know the front end of pig from the
other extremity" but added:
We haven't suffered three lone
years, but seven long years. The pre-
vious administration suggested the
policy of destruction and the present
administration carried it out"
He invited Nations youth, farm
ers laborer and small business mer
to join the Union party's ranks. He
said he would aid all Congressman
