terminated by divorce.

instead.

Representative and the erstwhile P.

What honeymoon" the legislative

when they queried:
Where are YOU going on your
honeymoon"
Although this colloquy took place
many hours after Rev. Paul R. Diehl
joined the couple in the Trinity Meth
odist Episcopal Church South, Zion
check still kidded reporters who
sought to discuss the marriage.
Informed that the Annapolis min
ister had confirmed the wedding re-
port, the Representative said:
This all reminds me that there is
commotion in the ocean and the
ocean is full of commotion."

Among his pronouncements were:
A challenge to meet the American
table tennis champion for charity's

That he can train turtles and make
friends with monkeys in the Zoo.
That he can play the piano, sing
and play golf.
And that he has few rivals when
it comes to making Irish stew.
Demonstrations followed each as

The ceremony actually was sand

Mrs. Zioncheck, attired in an at
tractive white ensemble with tan hose,
appeared at the P. w. A. Building late
in the afternoon to resign her position.
She was interviewed and photographed
and short time later the Representa-

her. Cameras clicked, Zioncheck wise
cracked again and then the couple
was driven off down F street at a
rather fast clip.
Whirlwind Courtship.
Mrs. Zioncheck, standing on the

she and the Representative had been

BOARD HASPOWER
TO REQUIRE AUDIT
Montgomery Commission
erS' Counsel Holds Move
for Accounting Legal.
BY Stan Correspondent of The Star.

by otdu Correspondent OF ne STAR.
ROCKVILLE, Md, April 29.-The
way was cleared for a general audit
of all county accounts when Albert
M. Bouic, counsel to the Montgomery
County commissioners, informed the
board at meeting yesterday that it
has sufficient authority under law to
carry out its plan.
The opinion was sought after the
commissioners voted a week before
to make thorough investigation of
all accounts covering the period from
1927 to the present date because of
recent alleged irregularities in the
handling of funds for widening and
improving Wisconsin avenue.
Seek Controllers Aid.
Efforts already have been begun to
have the work carried on under the
supervision of the State controller,
but a move to appropriate county
funds for the employment of a COM
mercial accounting firm will be made
by Commissioner Charles E. King if
this plan fails.
The proposal to order the audit was
made by King as an outgrowth of the
recent arrest of Edward Peter, former
counsel to the commissioners, on a
charge OF embezzling funds from the
Wisconsin avenue account. Peter was
indicted by grand jury last week.
Members of the board voted yester-
day to reScind the appointment of
William Wilder Evans as a legal clerk
in the office of the States attorney
when Bouic ruled the commissioners
lacked the authority to create such a
position.
Police Stenographer Ruled Out.
Evans, resident of Chevy Chase
and youngest member of the county
bar, was appointed several weeks ago
to assist States Attorney James H.
Pugh in research work and in the
preparation Of major cases.
In another opinion Bouic advised the
commissioners they are empowered to
appoint an assistant county auditor
and an assistant assessor, positions
which they filled last week with the
appointment Of Jesse w. Nicholson. ir
and John T. euler.
He ruled, however, the board has no
authority to provide Police Chief ].

Jerome Herring of Wheaton was

named a temporary clerk in the

The board also voted to transfer
Mrs. Arlene Allnutt to the election
supervisors office to assist in prep
arations for the coming primary and
general elections.
1t was decided to retain Wilson
Stewart of Silver Spring as a clerk in

Will Hitler Cross Fingers?


The dope here is that Hitler will be
willing to sign peace agreement in
which many pledges are made, even
concerning the eastern frontier. His
idea will be to maintain Britatn's
friendship and avoid any drastic ac-
ton by France The way is now
being quietly cleared for bargaining
over such an agreement.
But, even if Hitler swears it, no one
here will believe he has abandoned
his eastern hopes. Treaties have
been made beforehand broken.
The time when he will move east
ward is still problematical.
His last Rhineland mope was
timed to Offset dangerous situa-
ton developing bet,Deen the radical
and conservative elements among
the Nazis and unrest among the
German people. This is not French
propaganda. Trustworthy contiden-
tial adUices say such situation
actually ertsted.
When his domestic situation die
tates again and when the foreign sit
uation is quiet, Hitler will move and
move eastward, no matter how many
treaties are signed. He may be able
to avoid it for a year, and then again
he may not.
Thrift may always be a virtue in
the copybooks, but not in the rela-
tionS of the citizen and the govern
ment.
Veterans have found that, if they
borrowed so per cent on their bonus
and paid no interest, all the interest
due since September 80, 1881 is can
celled. But if they paid the interest
they owed after that date, they get no
credit whatever.
A veteran who borrowed so per cent
in 1881 and put it out at interest
could have picked up about $3.50 on
the deal.

Note the extent to which building
construction and freight traffic are
out of line with general business. as
represented by production. Also note
the way other factors are tagging
from the 100 per cent line. (The ia
Bile Is carried at the bottom of the
column.)
Durable Goods Moving.
The four-month level of production
around 95 per cent, represents the
wide bestirring of the durable goods
industries, which began late last Fall
Recent production increases centered
in steel, automobiles and building ma
terialS.
The operation of steel mills at
around 70 per cent of normal is not
due entirely to greater automobile
demand, but also to increased demand
from railroads and building. The first
four months of automobile production
this year will be higher than last, in
spite of the fact that the new models
were brought out in October this
season instead of in January as usual.
The auto market is standing up.
Building, while still less than half of
normal, is nevertheless showing en-
ployment gains.
Another thing, the April increase

phase OF production, and not in the

it all looks real.
A close connection seems to exist
between the employment index and
department store sales. You will notice
both are estimated at exactly s6 per
cent for April. They have kept close
to each other during the depression.
Behind the stability of the price
index is the fact that manufacturing
and industrial prices have not changed
in the aggregate during the last few
months.
The flood and the drop in coal pro-
duction after the cold spell are what
