Doctor Silent on Cause
Of Delay in Moving
Him From Hospital

Cloaked in secrecy and thwarted
by undercover barriers believed to
have been erected by Capitol and
White House powers, the sched-
uled removal of Representative
Marion Zioncheck from the psy-
chopathic ward of Gallinger Hos
pital passed into the realm of the
indefinite future" today with the
refusal Of DR.. Edgar A. Bocock.
hospital superintendent, to make
any announcement regarding the
disposition of the Washington
Representatives. case.
Since Monday, Gallinger psy-
chiatrists have been attempting
to remove Zioncheck from their
mental ward. but last-minute
changes in plans have prevented
his release.
DR.. BOcOCk "HideS Out"
DR.. Edgar A. Bocock, superin.
tendent of Gallinger, dropped out
of sight several hours yesterday,
apparently to escape another grill
ing by newSpapermen and to plan
with other District officials move
that would not be a boomerang.
He slipped away from the hospital
yesterday morning without telling
his secretary where he could be
reached-even in an emergency.
Questioned by reporters on what
arrangements DR.. Bocock had
made with pSychiatristS, his Sec
retary chuckled
"It'S a secret"
But the secret of what went on
in the Harvard Hall apartment of
the Puget Sound Representative
was awaited in the Capital today
after Mrs. Benjamin Scott pam
alo Schuyler Young, Zioncheck's
landlady, announced that she had
sold an article on her experiences
with the Representative to a week
ly magazine for 5000.
Wife Pays Two Visits
Twice yesterday Mrs. zioncheck,
accompanied by her mother and
Mrs. Josephine Young, secretary
to the Representative. visited the
psycopathic ward to see her hus-
band. Each time she used under
ground passages to go and come
from the ward.
DR.. Joseph L. Gilbert. District
alienist, stated yesterday that
Representative Zioncheck would be
kept under observation, whether
he is transferred today or not.
After visiting Zioncheck in his
room at 4::30 yesterday afternoon,
DR.. Gilbert said:
81 can definitely say now that
he will not be moved today, If
his physical condition is to be
considered. 1t wouldn't be safe
to move him."
Zioncheck says he will be sent
either to Shepherd Pratt Hospital
in Baltimore or to another nearby
Sanitarium. There has been some
speculation that he may even be
sent to Seattle (WashD hospital.

It's getting hard to tell who's

campaign, as it seems like every
time Jim Farley makes speech
he always says Something to
help the Republicans. Z. Il can't
imagine why the Democrats
selected a man for Postmaster
General who always picks out
the wrong address.
When James Slightingly re-
marked that Mr.. LandOn was a

looked the fact that plenty of
people used synthetic stuff dur

OF course, while the jOvial
Jim may be convinced that
there is no North, no South,
he may also find that, as far
as Democratic votes are con-
cerned, there's no Middle West
either.
PREDICTION:
It's a cinch that Farley will
once again be successful in put
ting a President in the White
House. Only this time, it may
be LandOn.

At present there is no definite

Alice Hill have different ideas
over the manner in which the

Miss Hill believes that in cases

Mr.. Street estimated that there

To remove the stigma Of CONNER

Of America have taken over distrtbu-
ton Of metal alloy busts Of President
Roosevelt, copies Of bronze made in
1894 by 10 Davidson.
Deciding that marketing Of the busts

Young Democrats agreed to take over
their sale at s. apiece.
Carl H. Monsees, Distribution Com
mittee chairman, explained today that
from each sale IS cents would be
turned over to the Democratic Ma

cents would be paid Davidson.
Monsees declared the purpose was
not to raise money. but to distribute
the busts to the Presidents friends
and admirers" The word "sell" would
not be used in connection with their
sale, he said.
Two originals in bronze were made
for Marvin Mcintyre and Marguerite
LELAND, the Presidents secretaries, by
Davidson. The busts are 10 inches
high. About 1000 have been distribut-
ed to date. 1t is hoped $4,000 may be

WORKERSLAUNCH
STEEL UNION PLAN
Corporations Charged With
Attempt to ThWart Or
ganization Drive.
By the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH, June 17-Backers
Of industrial unionism launched their
long -heralded drive today for organiza-
ton of one big union among the Ma
tons 100000 steel workers with a
charge the steel corporations are at
tempting to deter the movement.
Philip Murray, chairman of the Steel
Workers Organizing Committee desig-
mated by John L. Lewis, made this
statement at the initial meeting Of the
group:
Already the steel corporations, In
an effort to thwart this campaign Of
organization, have granted vacations
with pay. It is rumored that they also
intend to offer wage increases to their
employees to prevent organization.
Discussion Held Purpose.
"These gestures by the steel corpora
tions are made for the purpose Of dis
suading the steel workers from joining
q bona -fide labor union, such as shall
be established.
Success will attend the commit
tees efforts. Unionization Of the steel
mills Is under way"
Murray. a vice president Of the
United Mine Workers, asserted 10 ma
tional and international unions OF the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton were represented at the meeting.
The campaign will be mapped along
the program proposed by Lewis,
which the Amalgamated Association
of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
adopted over the opposition of Will
liam Green. president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
Turning Point for Men.
The soft-spoken Murray, who at II
was digging coal in mine in Scot
land, said:
This meeting Of the steel workers
organizing committee marks the turn
ing point for the men of the steel
mills-a turning point which gives te
them their inherent right, long denied
to them; that is, to band together into
a union so that they might have
united voice in collective bargaining.

DAVIS SARGUESA.P.
DISMISSAL LEGAL
Labor Board Suit Involving
EmpIoye Taken Under
Amusement.
Be the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE United
States Circuit Court of Appeals yes
terday heard arguments and reserved
decision In suit brought by the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board against
the Associated Press for allegedly dis
charging an editorial employe for ac-
tivities in the American Newspaper
Guild N violation Of provisions Of
the Wagner labor relations act.
Attacking the constitutionality of
the Wagner act and upholding the
right of the press association to select
its personnel in order to preserve the
unbiased, impartial news reports de-
manded of it by its members, John
w. Davis. counsel for the Associated
Press, declared such a deprivation of
rights would be in violation OF the
due process clause Of the fifth amend
ment.
The labor board. through its chief
counsel. Charles Fahy, asked the
court for an order reinstating Morris
Watson, the discharged employe, and
enjoining the Associated Press from
interfering with organization and
bargaining by employees. He argued
that unfair labor practice under the
Wagner act interferes with interstate
commerce and Is therefore within the
Constitution.
No Part in Hearing.
Mr.. Davis pointed out the Asso-
ciated Press had taken no part in the
hearing of the labor board because
counsel believed the Wagner act un-
constitutional.
The Associated Press has no quar-.
rel whatsoever with the principle OF
equality of bargaining power between

struct commerce" he said, answering
the question.
Watson has become the symbol OF
the right Of employees to organize
freely" Mr.. Fahy said. THE As
sociated Press by discharginR him.
struck not at Morris Watson as an
employe, but struck at the American
Newspaper Guild, and struck also
at the right Of the editorial employees
in the Associated Press to self or.
ganization."
In support Of his argument that
the news association was engaged in
interstate commerce, Mr.. Fahy said
Strike among the editorial employees
would paralyze the Associated Press
or large part Of its operations, and
this would constitute a direct burden
upon interstate communication"
Counsel for both sides presented
briefs citinb precedents, and dwelling
at length on the interstate commerce
phase. Both described the activities
Of the press association in detail.

Building here, was conducted before

sided; Thomas w. Swan and Angus

employer and employe in respect to
employment" Davis brief said. "but
maintains only that this equality can
not be achieved to the satisfaction of
either party by compulsory govern
mental process"
whether or not such theoretical
equality could be attained under the
harassing supervision and meddling
control of board created by Congress,
the due process clause of the nth
amendment stands as an absolute bar
rier against the interference of Con-
gress or its delegated agents with the
normal freedom of employers and en-
ployes to select the persons with whom
they are willing TO contract and the
terms of their own contracts" he con-
tinued.
The brief continued:
"As a practical matter, the opposi-
ton Of the Associated Press Is more
directly due to this factor. In the
directory of the Associated Press Of
fered in evidence by the board appears
the following statement:
1.-The membership Of the Associated
Press includes persons Of every con-
ceivable political. economic and re-
Iigious advocacy. The one thing upon
which they are united, so far as the
Associated Press news service Is con-
cerned, is that it shall be wholly free
from partisan activity or even the
expression Of any opinion whatsoever.
The service Is intended to be limited to
the reporting Of events without bias
Control by Executive.
'To this end, as stated in the direc-
tory, the board of directors, by resolu-
ton, has conferred upon the general
manager executive control Of the news
service and personnel. The distinctive
value of the Associated Press as a news
agency is dependent upon the MAIN
tenance Of such a service.
Among the obviously essential
qualifications Of its editorial employees
are skill, Judgment and freedom from
bias in their handling Of news. To
deprive it of its right to select It's per-
sonnel with full freedom of contract
and to subject the selection Of its
personnel by such extraordinary pro-
Evening star., 1936-06-17

ceedings as are illustrated in the pres
ent record is, in the opinion of the
Associated Press, to deprive it of con-
troll essential to the maintenance of
the type of news service required Of
1t by its members and demanded by
the interest Of the reading public.
such q deprivation of rights, it Is
submitted, would be in violation of the
due process clause of the fifth amend
ment."
Mr.. Davis denied the contention Of
the Labor Board that the discharge
Of Watson had anything to do with
interstate commerce. He contended
the gathering and dissemination of
news was unique" enterprise. He
declared that even If he conceded the
communications sent and received by
, the press association were in interstate
commerce, they could not be held to
be an article Of commerce until the
process was completed.
Mr.. Fahy described the Associated
Press as perhaps the largest news
gathering and distributing organiza-
ton in the world, and pictured Wat
son as a "skillful and devoted en-
ploye" and IAN instrument in the
dissemination Of news by the Associ-
ated Press"
Mr.. Fahy contended the press as
sociation was engaged in interstate
communication" and so, interstate
commerce.
He recited the findings Of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board and
asked whether unfair labor practice
under the labor act interferes with
interstate commerce.
