ARREST WARRANT
AWA|TSz|ONCHECK
Attachment Issued When He
Fails to Appear on
Speeding Charge.

An attachment for the arrest OF
Representative Marion A. Zioncheck OF
Washington was issued in Traffic Court
today after he failed to appear in
answer to charge of driving 10 miles
an hour out Connecticut avenue early
Saturday.
Judge Walter ]. Casey ordered the
attachment when Zioncheck failed to
answer as his case was called.
The automobile in which police say
they arrested Zioncheck bore Wash
ington State tags. The Representative
posted $25 collateral, the maximum
fine for first offense speeding.
Ordinarily, in cases where out-of-
town drivers are involved, failure to
respond to the charge in court merely
means forfeiture of collateral.
Present Penalty.
Since the safety drive has been in
progress. however, authorities have
been canceling driving permits for con-
viction of speeding more than so miles
an hour
The attachment will be sent to the
precinct in which Zioncheck lives for
service in the routine manner. He
occupies an apartment in Harvard
Hall.
Under the attachment, Zioncheck
could be arrested and held until the
court is ready to try the case, al
though he probably will be released
on his promise to appear.
Attorneys said zioncheck cannot be
arrested while Congress is in session
either while going to or coming from
Congress or at the Capitol, although
he could be taken into custody at his
home.
Judges sometimes assess a con-
tempt of court penalty in addition to
the original charge in cases where
attachments are issued.
Informed of Judge Casey'S action,
zloncheck said: I'm unconcerned.
All Judge Casey wants is some pub
licity. He wants to run for the Senate
against Senator Walsh, Democrat, of
Massa chuSetts, who got Casey ap-
pointed in the District Court.
1 don't know what I'm going to do
until they do something. They know
Ill take care of everything.
by the way, maybe the maker of
the car I was driving will pay the bill.
Just think of all the advertising the
manufacturer has received
Zioncheck,s criticism of Washing
ton police, in connection with the
speeding charge, was shifted yesterday
to bigger game. He charged on the
House floor that j. Edgar Hoover,
director of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, may know the answer to
the Hauptmann murder" He called
Hoover dictator" and master of
fiction"
zioncheck's accusations came near
the close of a busy afternoon which
saw the House vote, 272 to 0, to ex-
punge from the Congressional Record
page and half of remarks Zion
check inserted last Friday about Rep
resentative Blanton, Democrat, of
Texas.
Derides "G-Men."
Gaining the floor during conSidera-
ton of routine legislation, Zioncheck
referred to Hoover, then said:
"Since Congress was kind enough to
favor him by allowing his men to run
around the country with machine guns,
four Omen and eight gangsters have
been killed"
He asserted that "Dillinger didn't
know II boys with shaking hands mad
guns trained on him." and added: IF
you, Mr.. Speaker, had happened TO
come out of that show at the same
time you would have been killed"
Zioncheck's remarks brought prompt
retorts, especially his reference to the
case climaxed in the recent electrocu-
ton in New Jersey of Bruno Richard
as the murderer kidnape-
Of the son Of Charles A. Lindbergh.
Representative Lehlbach, Republic
an, Of New Jersey interposed hotly that
everybody knows the answer to the
case-Jersey justice" To
which zioncheck shot back, Jersey
justice, what does it give, milk Or
