Zioncheck (congressman) to Gallinger hospital is requested for observation and a report on his mental status.

The charge of unsound mind is made by E. P. Stump, sanitary officer of the District of Columbia." On the back of the order was the following- notation by Inspector Bernard Thompson, chief of detectives: Reckless Driving Charged. "This man has been driving his automobile in a reckless manner over the streets of the District of Columbia and annoying prominent officials and citizens and is believed to bo of unsound mind." His arrest climaxed a day of excitement during which Zioncheck drove down a busy sidewalk at 60 miles an hour to visit police court. Naval hospital officials said Zion- check had reported voluntarily to the institution a few minutes before police arrived to arrest him.

Telling the naval doctors that they had orders to lodge the representative in the city hospital, the two burly detectives took him by each arm. "All I want," Zioncheck cried, "is to be given a thorough examination." With the detectives on either sids of him. Zioncheck. who was dressed in a black and white checked suit and tennis shoes, was marched out of the government hospital and detectives' mobile. "I'm going in my car," shouted Zioncheck.

"for these hand grenades." Highly excited, the congressman grasped a railing on the back of the automobile seat, clenched his teeth and pulled away at the railing. As the thrse officers pried his hands loose with considerable difficulty, Zioncheck continued to shout that hand grenades were in the car. The only objects on the floor were a police electric lantern and a first aid kit. Exhausted from the struggle Zioncheck finally fell back against the seat. Thi police car, with a motorcyycle officer clearing the way, sped down Constitution avenue past the Capital and on to the hospital.

Without resistance, the congressman was led into the institution. THE "QUttNlWARY" DOCKS kBut No Record Is Set on Voyage to New York. Aboard the S.

Summer school students swarmed into Emporia over the week-end, filling boarding and rooming houses and cafes near the Teachers College. Approximately 1,200 women and 400 men students will enroll today and Tuesday, if the past records are any indication.

Butcher. Enroll-' ment takes placa in the on the second floor.

For two days the gymnasium is busier than a stock'exchange, as students swarm out. Instructors sit at long tables, each in their various departments, so that students may find them. Students walk from table to table, sometimes standing in line to see their prospective teachers. Much red tape is wound and unwound. Thcss attending summer school differ from winter students in that they are as a.

rule, older and have often been teaching for several, and. sometimes, many years. Many students return summer after summer, slowly building up credits for higher degrees than the ones they hold. Most rooming houses for men or women are filled during the two months school is on. Ivfen, however, have a hard time finding suitable rooms, because rooming house nro- prietors know that there will be more women than men in town, and, consequently, decide to hang out the "rooms for girls" signs.

Men and women may not room in the same houses, according to the rules of the Teachers College. The north end of town livened up today. Cafes near the college which had been closed during the 10 days there was no school opened for trade this morning and fraternity and sorority houses.which keep "tables" for feeding; summer students served breakfast this morning.

Bucharest, Rumania, June 1 (jp) The greatest peasant party mobilization in Rumania's history, which developed into a protest against Mme. Magda Lupsscu's power behind the throne, posed new problems for King Carol today. The peasant party's leader, ion Mlhalache, coupled a demand for banishment of Madame Lupescu with a call for 'suppression of Nazi organizations in Rumania and the immediate resignation of the government of Premier George Tata- rescu.

than 500,000 farmers participated in the parades and -protest meetings 120,000 in the capital and 400,000 others In towns and villages throughout the provinces. Mihalache, head of the powerful peasant movement, pledged his loyalty to King Carol but declared: Threatens Action. "The roads between the king and the peasant's shall no longer be barricaded by the court camarilla (clique)." The peasant leader's strong request for an end to Madame Lupescu's court influence was the latest in a series of such protests against the presence of the auburn-haired intimate friend of King Carol, for whom the monarch once renounced his throne. Political sources expressed apprehension that if Carol refused once more to part with Madame Lupescu, Mihalaahe might attempt to use his peasant power to compel the king to banish the woman from the country. As evidence of his strength, the peasant leader showed for the first time his organization's mounted hundreds of sturdy young aimers.

troops restored order quick- fist fights broke out be- peasants and Nazi students the 5-hour parade. O. P.

Washington, June 1 five four, the supreme court declared inconstitucional a 1933 New York aw establishing minimum wages 'or women nnd children. The ground given was that the law contravened the constltu- guarantee of liberty. It wns leld that "the right to make con- racts" must not be violated. Butler Reads Opinion. Justice Butler spoke for the ority.

Chief Justice Hughes and Jus- aces Stone and Cardozo dissented. Justices Van Devanter, Suther- and and McReynolds sided with Butler. The legislation had been challenged by Joseph Tipaldo, Brooklyn laundry manager, who was indicted for forgery in an alleged attempt to conceal violation of the aw. He won his freedom on a writ of habeas corpus. The law fixed the minimum'wage for women laundry workers at $12.40 a week.

It was enacted and signed by Governor Lehman in 1933. A similar law for the District of Columbia was held unconstitutional by the supreme court 13 years ago. New York attorneys said, however, their statute took into account the value of services rendered while the district law dealt only with the cost living in determining the minimum wage. Vlolates "Due Process'' Clause. The majority opinion today held that, the law.

violated the "due process" clause of the constitution in that it deprived persons of the right to make contracts. This was similar to the grounds given in the action 13 years ago. In the NRA and Guffey coal cases, the court also had overturned efforts of the federal government to provide for minimum wages. ''The right to make contracts about one's affairs is a pavt of the liberty protected by the 'due clause," the latest decision said of the state effort. "Within this liberty are provisions of contracts between employer and employe fixing the wages to be paid.

"In making contracts of employment, generally speaking, the parties have equal right to obtain from each other the best terms they can by private bargaining." Hughes Hits Majority. Delivering the disr.ent, the chief justice asserted that "in the statute before us no unreasonableness appears" and "the end is legitimate and the means appropriate." "Here," he added, "the special conditions calling for the protection of women, and for the protection of society itself, are abundantly shown "The legislation is not less In the interest of the community as a whole than in the interest of the women employes who are paid less than the value of their services. "That lack must be made good out of the public purse. "Granted that the burden of the support of women who do not receive a living wage cannot be transferred to employers who pay the equivalent of the service they obtain, there is no reason why the burden caused by the failure to pay that equivalent should not be placed upon those who create it. "The fact that the state can not secure the benefit to society of a living wage for women employes by any enactment which bears unreasonably upon employers does not preclude the state from seeking its objective by means entirely fair both to employers and the women employed." In a separate dissenting opinion.

Justice Stone, and joined by Justices Cardozo, said he agreed with all that the chief justice had asserted but- that he thought the court should leave "the selection and the method of "the solution of the problems to which the statute is addressed where It seems to me the constitution has left them, to tho legislative branch of the government." SANTA FE LINE IS OPEN. Wreckage Cleared After Wreck at Guthrie, Okla. Guthrte, May 31 (jp) Santa Fe railroad main line, blocked since a wreck on the river, bridge near here Saturday night, was open today. Railroad officials said a crystal- ized rail gave way, causing tho wreck In which two railway clerks were killed. The car in which the two men.

Robbers, who staged ti daylight rnid on the Leon shoe store, 525 Commercial, early Sunday afternoon, escaped with $307 tn cash and iibout 50 pairs of silk hose, Raymond M. Goepcl, manager of the store, said today. According to information given to police by Goepel, the wns entered between noon and 1 o'clock Sunduy, the taining entrance by climbing through the transom over the front door.

They escaped through tho rear door after Goepel had returned to the store shortly after 1 o'clock In the afternoon, it is believed. The money, which consisted of S30 in silver nnd the remainder tn bills, was taken from the safe near the front of the store, Mr. Goepel said. Ho said he hud been at the store Sunday morning checking the moniiy find had replaced it in tho safe. Goepel was not positive he had relockcd the safe, he but when he returned In the afternoon he opened it by combination.

Police could find no fingerprints in tho store, indicating the robbers were experienced and wore gloves. Goepel returned to the store Sunday afternoon with Paul "Pete" Ryerson to obtain a baseball ticket, ho said, ancl while there Ryerson decided to buy a pair of shoes. When Goepel went to the safe for change, he discovered the money was missing ami Immediately called police. Both Ryerson and Goepel said that just after the discovery of the robbery, they hoard sounds in the back which may Imve been the clos- ng of the rear door by tho bandits. Investigation revealed tho rear door, one section of which is barred, was closed and locked but that there was an aperture in the screen through which tho thieves, could have reached to rclock the padlock.

The key to the padlock was hanging on a nail Inside the store near the door, Mr. Goepel said, nnd apparently it 'md been used by the thieves. Believes Three JMcen Took Goepel believes that three men nay have taken part in the vob- jery. He said that when he went to the store Sunday morning two nen, whom he did not know, weru loitering in the lobby and he believes the men planned to hold him ip thun, only to be restrained by fuct that Goepcl was accompan- ed by Aschel West, a former em- ploye.
