.HuRRY ON HIS WAY


 Seattle, Wash, July 3.-(UP)-- Rep. Marion A. zioncheck returns to his constituency today for the first time since he went east to con- gross last January, but only the parts of Washington that he doesn't represent seemed ready to welcome him.
 The congressman eluded c brass band and l,b00 hilarious "WelcoIne Back to Washington" greeters in Spokane last night. But in Seattle, by all indications, he was to be put to no such trouble. Leaders of the democratic organization that elected him stayed away unanimously.
 Even the police, in contrast to police of Washington, D. O., Mary land, Virginia, and Puerto Rico, ostentatiously took no integest in him. Only the normal two Ofiicers were assigned to meet the Milwau- kee Olympian, on which zioncheck was due to arrive ct 8 Q. m. 12 noon (EDT).
 Relative Disguised
 William J. Nadeau, the congress- mans brother-in-law, announced that he would attempt to persuade Zioncheck to abandon plans Co seek reelection this fall. If zioncheck persists, he said, T will wash my hands of the whole affair.""
 There was just Q possibility, dis- tressing to Nadeau in the extreme, that Zioncheck might be planning to treat his home town to some of the fireworks with which he has for several months enlivened the east coast and way-points westward. The thought arose from the fact that no one knew positively wheye he was.
 Stories Lead Way
 All across Minnesota, Montana and the mountains, reports came before Zioncheck, of his progress aboard the Olympian = mixing "zioncheck ziepers" for fellow pas- sengers at one station. boasting ct the next of the landslide of votes he'd get in the fall-but at Spokane he was unfindable.
 A brass band footed outside the Olympian's Pullman windows, re- porters and photographers loped through train aisles, hundreds of persons peered in car windows.
 Three Reports
 There were three widely circu- lated reports.
 No. (whispered by Q Pullman porter after his hand had been crossed with silver) said zioncheck took Q Northwest Airllnes plane at Mlssoula. Mont The Airline said he didn't.
 No. 2 (from "the man with the birth under zioncheck's') said he changed to an automobile at St. Maries, Ida.
 No. (reporting what actresses and bootleg barons have been known to do before) said he got off the Olympian at Dishman, 10 miles east of Spokane, drove to Cheney, Q few miles west, and picked up the train there.
