arrived here from Washington,
two men went through the train
asking:

The train poll idea originated
when Scott, showing a stack OF
cards, explained he had been tax

the Republicans had a popular can
didate in Alfred M. Landon, his
tabulation indicated a Roosevelt
reelection.
But when all the cards were
collected in the train poll. this
was the result:
Landon, 81; Roosevelt, SO;

Chuckled Gearhart:
"AS the Baltimore and Ohio
goes, so goes the nation. Our
man ALI will be riding this train
in the opposite direction after

ZiOncheck'S Arrest
Is Ordered Again

lfort to pick him up in case he was
hitch-hiking, and a warning was
broadcaStS all motorists not to
pick up any man thumbing a
ride.
Baltimore police, however, re-
fused to take any action, explain
ing that he was an adult, that he
could not be claSSed as a miss
ing" person, and that there was
no charge against him in Mary
land courts that would justify
them in holding him.
mot a Dangerous Man"
Commenting on the warning to
motorists not to pick up a man
who might be Zioncheck, DR.. Ar
thur E. Pattrell, assistant super
intendent of the hospital, said:
Il do not regard him as a
dangerous man. But if anyone
tried to bring him back here, he
might prove dangerous"
Yesterday, for the first thine
since his admission to the hospital,
Zioncheck was taken out in the
recreation yard and urged to take
some exercise, either tossing a
medicine ball, playing tennis or
some other sport.
In the yard at the time were
several orderlies, but they were
unarmed. Zion check Strolled
around the yard, surveyed the
place, then stood chatting with a
group of other inmates.
Suddenly, with no warning,
zioncheck who, although of small
stature. is powerful man, vaulted
the fence and started a break for
the woods nearby.
Guards and orderlies called TO
him to halt, but he kept running,
and reached cover before the at
PENDANTS could catch up with him.
Then for hours they secured the
woods.
Hospital officials Scoffed at re-
ports that an automobile had been
planted near the place where he
made the break, and that the
escape had been carefully plotted.
This was impossible, they ex-
planned, since Zioncheck did not
know when he would be taken to
the exercise yard.
Asked to explain the escape, DR..
Pattrell said that it was IAN i'm
pulse of an elated and overactive
individual.

100000 GasRefinery
Wrecked by Blast

BRAINTREE, Mass, June 20.
GN.S0.-An explosion which
rocked houses for miles around,
followed by a fire, today de-
stroyed a 100000 gasoline refin-
ing still at the Cities Service
plant in East Braintree.
William Smith braved two
smaller explosions which followed
the first and shut off the pipe
line connecting the wrecked still
with others, preventing the flames
from spreading. A leaking crude
oil line was thought responsible
for the explosion.

Corporation Counsel Vernon West
and Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci T. Gillespie Walsh decided that
Zioncheck will be sent immedi-
ately to Gallinger as soon as he
is apprehended.
Walsh then will file a new
lunacy action, the case will be
sent to District Supreme Court for
hearing and it is expected Off
Gals will seek commitment of the
Representative rather than again
allow him to be sent to private
institution.
Following the conference, Major
Ernest w. Brown, Superintendent
of Police, was notified of what
had occurred and ordered to have
zioncheck picked up as soon as
possible.
However, Zioncheck, locked in
his office, cannot be served while
on Government property.
How zioncheck managed to get
to Washington is still a mystery,
since he had no money. In his
office, where he refuses to answer
knocks or telephone calls, he has
moved about, several times walked
to the door and taken mail from
the letter drop, and then turned
out the light.
Ignores Press Note
One Of the missives he took from
the letter box was written by the
score of newspaper reporters and
cameramen who were waiting out
in the hall. It read:
"Why not meet us and get IL
over with?-The Reception Com.
mittee."
But zioncheck, who has reveled
IN publicity, paid no attention to
the letter.
AS the crowd Of reporters and
photographers swelled, with sound
cameras being set up in the halls
OF the office building, Lieut. Row
W. Brown, of Capitol police, ap-
peared and ordered all the news
papermen to clear the halls. He
explained he was acting on orders
from Sergeant-at-Arms Kenneth
Romney.
A lunacy hearing scheduled for
last week was dismissed?. since he
had left the jurisdiction of the
local courts. So now the only
thing confronting the Washington
State member of Congress, whose
antics finally led to his incarcera-
ton, is an assault warrant sworn
to by Mrs. Young.
She charges Zioncheck expelled
her from the apartment which she
had subleased to him, struck
her, knocked her down and in
jured her several weeks ago. A
similar charge was sworn to by
Mrs. Young against Zioncheck's
bride, the former Miss Rubye Nix.
Mystey In Escape
Zioncheck escape remains a
mystery. He had no money and
was dressed only in a white shirt,
dark blue trousers and tennis
shoes when he made his break
around II o'clock yesterday morn.

Hospital attaches Immediately
searched for the escaped Congress
man, but it was not until 9 o'clock

Boy Tells of Killing
The Staying was not disclosed
until the child, Jimmy, who fell
asleep soon afterward, awoke
about 6 a. m. and came down to
the lobby.
Quaking in fear, the child told
dramatic story about a CONVEX
sation he had with the killer
while his mother was being slain.
He said he had been awakened
by pounding" That noise was
the killer beating his mother on
the head with a brick which he
welded so fiercely that it was
broken in two. The pieces were
left in the room.
While the man was beating her
he kept up a conversation with the
boy. The child told police:
"She was right beside me. He
kept hitting her, and 1 asked
him what he was doing. He said
I'm a DOCTOR Then he put his
thumb against her neck and
pushed hard.
81 was scared and Just
stayed there. l asked him
what kind of a doctor are yOu?'
He didn't answer me. asked
him if he knew her name and
he said yes
GIVES WRONG NAME
"He gave the wrong name so
I told him. My mama didn't
make any noise. Then he walked
to the dresser, took my mama'S
money, said goodbye and went
away"
The slayer escaped from the
fifth floor room down a fire escape.
Jimmy came to Chicago yester-
day from Wilkes-Barre, Pa, where
he lives with his paternal grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Thomp-

PUBLIC COOPERATION

Out at Aux Beach Village the Forest Service has erected attractive log structures for the use of the public recreation center, The main building completed recently and a slate floor put in Hardly had it been laid when thoughtless per son persons built fire with the result that considerable damage was caused and some of the work will have to be done over.
 Other careless acts have been committed at the beach, such breaking glass by using bottles for targets and It is hard to believe that any one would do such things deliberately More likely it is the result of not thinking.
 Why is it not possible for people enjoying such resorts to cooperate with public authorities keep ing them in good shape?
 fireplace is about to be started in the central log structure and Forest Service authorities are dubious of starting. They wonder whether it will be necessary to put watchman at the building at least long enough for the fireplace to dry and to prevent those using the beach from starting fire in it.
 It should not be necessary to take such precau- tons. Why not do a little thinking when out en- would prevent such foolish stunts as starting fire newly constructed slate floor or in the fireplace the Service is about to build.
 These buildings being erected for the use of the public and ask cooperation of the public in keeping them in good shape said Wellman Hol- brook, Assistant Regional Forester
 Why not lend little cooperation? The Forest Service is giving the residents of this community nice recreation spot at Aux Village Beach Let's give it a hand in keeping the site nice.

The Townsend Collapse
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 The investigation of the Townsend d-age pen sion movement has not quite run its course. But enough has been shown to demonstrate the futility and dishonesty which have marked this singularly stupid enterprise It is not the function of a con- gressional committee to find anybody guilty of d crime but to sift the facts in situation of public significance that the Congress and the people may know what is going on
 At first it was generally assumed that Dr. Town send was kindly old man of generous impulses, who had been taken in by group of sharp promoters. However futile, pr. Townsend sincere, many supposed Even this now to be falacious. The good doctor is on the record ambitious politician, who hoped to set up great political ganization to compete with or supplant the two major parties. All this he aimed at by promising benefits quite beyond reality.
 Those who complained bitterly at the loss of their privacy when various Hobbies were investi- gated have been singuary silent during the invest- gaton of the Townsend Plan. Certainly exposure of the blundering stupides of Dr. Townsend and his cronies is public serivce. It means, no doubt the collapse of the whole crazy scheme.

WHAT A BANKER THINKS

The role the present Administration has played in restoring banking to sound basis is often over looked in view of the more immediate policies tha have attracted attention. Bankers and tinanciers however, have not forgotten those hectic days oi bank failures that swept the country just before President Roosevelt inaugurated and they appre- ciate drastic though life-saving action taken at that time A. P Giannini Chairman of the Board of the Bank of America and director of the Ma tona City Bank of New York, reviewing briefly the situation in the last three years made this interest ing comment
 We have about us today abundant evi- dence that banks and their clients are en- toying the vast benefits that flow from the principles and policies represented in bank ing legislation and administration of the past three years
 Today the depoSitor in any bank is safer than he has been in all banking his tory. When the banking system was put to the test at the height of the depression, it found that confidence had vanished After many months of persistent efforts to allay the fears of depositorS and patrons. deposits shrunk by billions Banks in unprecedented numbers were forced to close Depostors and stockholders too, by the hundreds of thou sands, know only too well that there was real basis for the fears that brought this condi- tion about. The securities in which bank funds invested were being constantly dumped falling market to provide funds demanded by depositors
 President Roosevelt immediately grasped the situation and under his leadership vital steps were taken to restore confidence make banking operations safer and give absolute assurance to depostors. It is misleading, if not foolish, to charge that this program was based on a desire to put the government into the banking business. Private funds were not available Government investment of billion dollars in than 5000 banks throughout the country safe investment that will ultimately be repaid in full
 And no sound reason be assigned why the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation cannot become, if indeed it has not already a great stabizing influence in the banking world as well as an adequate insurer against all loss to depositors Deposits are right now at the highest point in the entire history of the national banking system: only five na- tional banks have closed in the 2 l-3 years since deposit insurance inaugurated and no national bank has closed so far in 1886
