Congressman Zioncheck, Scourge
OF Police: Thinks He Is Married
Is Kind of Muddled About
1t But Bride Certain
of 1t

WASHINGTON. April %, (UP)
Congressman Marion A. Zion
check, one-man scOurge of the
capital police, took unto himself
bride yesterday-and vanished,
after delivering soliloquy on
love.
The blue coats heaved a sigh Of
relief. The Democratic gentleman
from the state of Washington an
nounced he was so befuddled he
couldn't remember whether he ac-
tually had married the beauteous
Miss Rubye Louis Nix of TeXar-
kama, Texas, a New Deal stenog-
rapher.
Mrs. Zioncheck was absolutely
certain she had been markedly
the Rev. Paul R. Diehl at Annapo-
lis, Md.-but she said she didn't
know her husband very well,
Hence she said she wasn't sure
whether he'd take her to Bermuda
on their honeymoon.
All this confusion left every
body a little breathless, except, OF
course. the police, who still were
nursing the bruises they received
in their last encounter with Zion
check.
He bruised some bones when
they took him to court for driving
his sports roadster 70 miles an
hour on Connecticut avenue a few
DAYS ago. He was so belligercnt
; they had to put him in a cell to
cool off, and the judge had to slap
a fine on him for contempt.
Yesterday, though, Zioncheck
was all hearts and flowers, suaVe
and shaved. but absent-minded.
He took Miss Nix to Annapolis
in his high speed motor car, meek
w said 81 do" at the behest of the
Rev. DR.. Diehl, and then returned
to his office in the capitol, where
he summoned newsmen with WORD
that he had an important an
nouncement and some beer with
which to wash it down.
There wasn't any beer, but
Zioncheck's announcement seemed
well worth recording.
He said without a blush that
women found him attractive. II
was not unusual, he added, foi
strange young things with sweet
| sounding voices to ring him up or
the telephone. -,
! His gentle manners and his bril-,
liant performances on the floor OF
the house, he continued, made him
alluring to the fairer sex. About
ten days ago, he said, one of these
sweet-voiced young ladies gave
him a buzz.
She had lovely voice, the con,
eressman said, a voice which CUR,
eIed like a brook and which made
his heart go pit-a-pat.
81 did not know her then,
Z;onc6eck said. ''At that time she
gave me a fake name. But that
Voice! I could not resist it,
/ found out all about her later"
eyes, but did you. marry her?"

HOOVER IS WEAK
SECOND TO LANDON

BOSTON, April 20. (UP).-
Gov. Alf NJ. Landon of Kansas
was running more than 10 to /
ahead Of the second man, Herbert
Hoover, in the Massachusetts, Re-
publican presidential preference
primary today, on the basis Of in
complete returns. -.
In the Democratic preference
primary, President Roosevelt led
the second man, Alfred E. Smith,
by approximately 20 to l.
The official tickets of delegates
to the Republican and Democratic
national conventions were so far
ahead of all rivals that their cleo
ton seemed assured. Neither will
be bound by the results Of the
preference primary. The official
Republican slate is unpledged; the
Democratic one is pledged to Mr..
Roosevelt. -
The preference primaries were
of chief interest as the counting
of ballots cast in yesterdays yOt-
=.
ing proceeded slowly today. Many
believed tile results would indi-
cate the political temper of New
England and the industrial east,
but there was widespread dis
agreement on how the figures
should be appraised to obtain an
accurate indication.
No names were printed on the
presidential preference ballots;
the voters of each party writing
in their choices. Therefore, no
person was a candidate formally,
and except for the efforts Of sup
porters of Gov. Landon to pile up
preference vate in his favor,
there was no campaign. Voting
was exceptionally light.

MILO ACREAGE

SAYS ADVISER

The grain sorghum acreage be-

current season is at least 10000
acres less than last years, accord
ing to survey just completed by
H Lee Landerman, assistant farm
adviser, in cooperation with the
Imperial Irrigation district, whose
field men checked the actual acre
age in each of the seven divisions
of the district at the direction Of
NJ. j. Dowd, chief engineer.
Landerman has conducted the
study to determine the facts about
the 1886 milo and grain sorghum
crop prospects before harvest has
got far under way. The following
figures indicate the paintings for
the past and the present years:
