I I I I I I I I CARMEL ITEM. MOUNT CARMEL, FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1936. PAGE SEVEN. PITTSBURGH'S MAYOR SNUBS ZIONCHECK By Ashley G. Emshwiller (United Press Staff Correspondent) PITTSBURGH, May 29.

(U.P)-A.1 Marion Zioncheck, the bicycling congressman from Washington state, stood on the sidelines at dawn today and watched reporters for the honor of tucking him: in bed 1 -any bed. Zioncheck had made a flying trip to Pittsburgh for the express purpose of "having a. talk with Mayor William N. McNair." But he ended up by getting snubbed and that called for a round of the Pittsburgh night spots, where reporters found they couldn't hold a candle to the gentleman from Washington in more ways than one. The Pittsburgh junket was made with Rep.

Theodore L. Moritz, who took no hand in the "overnight" cavorting. A couple of days ago, shortly after the blue-eyed and dapper Mr. Zioncheck arrived in New York with his bride--they'd been honeymooning In Puerto Rico- the congressman gave Mayor McNair a big plug. He told reporters he believed Mayor McNair would make a good presIdent.

With a fine appreciation of the social amenities, McNair agreed and added that he thought the energetic representative from Washington would make a Arst-class mate. Zioncheck, who waded in the gardens at Rockefeller Center earlier this week much to the astonishment of a group of early morning Gotham revelers, came to Pittsburgh for an audience with His Honor. Sometime before dawn, while cameramen's bulbs flashed, Zioncheck pounded on the mayor's door. For a long time there was no response. Then: "Whoever it is," came a woman's voice, "the mayor is very tired and won't get up." The voice was that of Mrs.

McNair from an upstairs window. It was an out and out snub- just like the one Mayor McNair gave Elliott Roosevelt not so long ago at! the airport when His Honor said he wouldn't "shake hands with any Roosevelt." But, what was 8 snub? That, meant nothing to smiling A. Marion Zioncheck. And off the gentleman from Washington went with a half dozen reporters on the rounds of the night clubs. When the party began to drag as all of them do sooner or later, Zioncheck was sped back to Rep.

Moritz's home where he found the door locked and all the lights out. "Take me to a hotel," said Zioncheck, "any hotel. One, compassionate reporter took him home with him, but had to fight to do it. As for Zioncheck's celebrated "Zioncheck Zizzer," the drink that makes; people go splashing in sunken gardens, the congressman was thrown for a loss in Pittsburgh. It seems one of the ingredients French mint leaves.

Zioncheck, couldn't find them in any of the night spots, so as a defense he invented the "Ponce De Leon Scourage," rum and warm water in equal parts.

Workers, on a siege strike in which they refused to leave their factories, were reported holding Renault locked in his office. The Renault plants employ 34,000 men in all. Principally engaged in automobile manufacture, they are working also on heavy contracts for shells and munitions in the Government's rearmament program.

Information. of Renault was sought by authorities as the cabinet met today to consider the strike situation. The government was anxious both because munitions contracts were imperiled and because of fears of a political crisis. KELLEY FLIES TO PHILA. FOR PROBE PHILADELPHIA, May 29, (U.P.)State Secretary of Revenue John B.

Kelly flew here from Pottsville today to testify in a Senate committee's investigation of WPA activities in Philadelphia. Kelly was one of the first witnesses to appear at City Hall where the committee, headed by Senator Mason Owlett, opened a public hearing. Answering a question whether he would testify, Kelly said: "Senator Owlett already has tried the case in the newspapers. They couldn't keep me from testifying." Prior to the opening of the hearing, Owlett charged that "two tough guys" ejected two of the committee's summons servers out of I Democratic headquarters after they placed a subpena on the desk of former Congressman Robert L. Davis.

Summonses also were issued on WPA officials, including John H. Rankin, WPA director, and E. Keye Hunter and Edward R. Yarnell, assistants to Rankin. Owlett said the service on Davis was "legal," and that "he had better show up at the hearing." Davis is Democratic city committee office manager.

DR. MASTER IS MODERATOR SYRACUSE, N. May 29 (U.P.)The 148th general assembly of the Presbyterian Church entered its second session today with most of the thousand attending commissioners arguing behind closed doors as to just what are issues among them. Some of the delegates interpreted a dispute that threatens secession of a large bloc of churchmen as. a doctrinal disagreement between fundamentalists and modernists.

One faction regards the Bible as the inspired word of God, to be followed literally, others grant a more liberal interpretation and regard Christianity an instrument for socrial advance rather than as the sole determinant between heaven and hell. Another faction insisted that the split is concerned chiefly with mechanics of the church organization, the so-called fundamentalists having established the independent board of foreign missions in opposition to the board officially supported by the church. The vote polled by the Rev. Samuel J. Allen of Carson, N.

fundamentalist candidate for Moderator, indicated the trend of sentiment. Rev. Carson received 126 votes as against 251 votes for Rev. Dr. Frederick L.

Selden of Chicago and 508 votes for the Rev. Dr. Henry B. Master, of Philadelphia, who was elected Moderator to succeed the Rev. Dr.

Joseph Anderson Vance of Detroit. Allen had been nominated by the insurgents merely as a gesture of defiance. The vote he polled indicated a large insurgent strength in the present assembly. The Rev. Dr.

J. Gresham Machen, Philadelphia, awaiting result of his appeal from suspension by the judicial commission, announced that the Presbyterian Constitutional Covenant Union will hold its first convention in Philadelphia June 11-14. MARY LUDSICK BRIDE TODAY A popularly known young couple, Walter Schaffer, Mount Carmel, and Miss Mary Ludsick, Natalle, were wedded today. The ceremony took place at seven a.m. in St.

Andrew Schaffer, 27 south Locust street, Mount Carmel, and the bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Ludsick, Natalie. Friends of the newlyweds extend-. ed their congratulations following the ceremony.

In one suit, Lester W. Kimble, Sunbury, is plaintiff, and Martin Brunnavitch, Shamokin, the defendant. In the other, Brunavitch is plaintiff and Kimble and Harry Kime are defendants. The accident occurred at two o'-: clock the morning of August 21, 1934, at the Mantata "triangle," a few miles east of Herndon. Kime, driving Kimbel's truck laden with coal westward from Valley View toward Herndon, was sleepy and pulled off the main concrete highway to rest, it was testifled on one side.

He turned it to the left into the intersection leading toward Dalmatia and stopped on the berm, on the left hand edge of the road. Brunavitch, coming up from Harrisburg, turned to the right towara! Shamokin, and rammed the bury car head on, it was further claimed. Kime testified that when he stopped he put the car in gear. The force of impact of the other car drove the truck with its heavy weight back five feet. The Shamokin car's radiator was flattened, the engine driven back to the driver's seat and the main drive shaft shoved through the Two young men in it suffered or injuries.

They were taken to a neighboring farm house where they received first aid. The question to be decided by the jury was one of negligence whether the truck driver was negligent in parking on the left side or whether the other driver was negligent in approaching the intersection at high speed. Second of culm damage cases from Mount Carmel was settled before Judge Morganroth late day when payment of $750 was agreed upon by the Lehigh Valley Coal Company for damage to perty of Frank and Anna Wondoloski. The agreement was reached out of court and, on motion of the plaintiff's counsel, a juror was withdrawn and the case The final case of the term before Judge Cummings will start Monday morning. James A.

McGinn and his wife, Florence, are plaintiffs and the Furhman and Schmidt Brewing Company, Shamokin, is the defendant. Many cases on the trial list were continued or settled out of The list had a total of 75, of which! less than a dozen came before the court for trial or settlement. The term was one of the shortest in years. U. M.

W. DEFIES A. F. L. ORDER WASHINGTON, May 29.

(U.P) -The United Mine Workers of America, most powerful single union in the country, today defied the request of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor that it dissolve the committee for industrial organization, of which it is a leading member. The International Executive Board of the miners unanimously approved a letter by Thomas Kennedy, Secretary-Treasurer, which said the U. M. W. "emphatically refuses to accede to either the call or the request of the American Federation of Labor to discontinue its constructive and logical course of action" in regard to industrial unionization.

A letter to President William Green of the A. F. L. questioned right of the council's order to ask the committee for industrial tion "to cease constructive work calculated to serve the best interests of American labor in bringing about effective organization of such labor in the mass production industries of this country." The move was the latest in a fight lover whether unionization should be along the craft lines favored by the present executive council of the A. F.

L. or along industrial lines as advocated by the committee for dustrial organization. MORE THAN 100 AT FAREWELL PARTY Mr. and Mrs. John Zupko, of Kulpmont, who will leave with Ov-1, erseer of the Poor and Mrs.

(U.P.) -The Dionne quintuplets began the third year of their lives today, graduates of the "diaper stage," no longer residents of a hospital, but a nursery, and well advanced toward being individual millionaires before they are 21. Their advances along the road from infanthood to childhood and along the road to great wealth, were revealed yesterday at the party celebrating their second birthday when most of the world listened by radio to the goings-on in the Dafoe "nursery," which, until then was known as the Dafoe Hospital. David 1 Croll, provincial minister who is one of the quints' "official" fathers by virtue of his membership on their board of guardians, had this to say: "I am glad to say that we have a present for the children for their parents and brothers and sisters. We are able to tell them that their fund has grown to the point where the income will be sufficient for the Dionne family for the rest of their lives. Understand me, this fund is being used not only for the benefit of the quintuplets, but for the benefit of Mr.

and Mrs. Oliva Dionne and the five other children. "When they were first born, the fund was $21,000. Today their annual income is more than $20,000 and their total capital in government; securities and cash is just shading half a million. That is our birthday present-that the financial position of the whole Dionne family is now secure for all time to come.

"The babies have remained and will remain within the safety of what used to be called the Dafoe Hospital, but is now the Dafoe Nursery. Next it will be the Dafoe Kindergarten and then later the Dafoe Finishing School. "The babies are well and happy. They have just graduated from the diaper stage and are growing into most attractive young ladies." Judge J. A.

Valin and Dr. Alan Roy Dafoe, the babies' doctor, also spoke. There were cakes and many toys and a mass of thanksgiving in the village church. The quints themselves were temperamental and did not perform well for the microphone. WPA PROBE ON IN PHILA.

PHILADELPHIA, May 29, (U.P.)A Pennsylvania senatorial committee was told today by a representative of U. S. Attorney General Homer S. Cummings that it was without authority to investigate WPA activities in Philadelphia. Appearing before the opening session of the committee's public hearing Assistant U.

S. Attorney J. Cullen Ganey said the committee "had no legal right to subpena Federal employes." Ganey interrupted the hearing when State Senator Mason Owlett, chairman of the committee, called the name of John H. Rankin, WPA director for the Philadelphia district, to testify. Rankin was not present, but he had sent a physicians' certificate asserting he "The United States Attorney General's office," Ganey told Owlett, "wishes me to say respectfully that the committee is without power and without the legal right to subpena Federal employes." Prior to Ganey's appearance, a subpena was served on State Secretary of Revenue John B.

Kelly, who was in the hearing room. Kelly, who accepted the summons, attacked the sincerity of the committee's investigation. He said the committee is "packed and is not acting in good faith, and that Senator Owlett ought to be investigated himself." Kelly charged that Owlett represented "special privileges."

Leeds, millionaire sportsman, and his Cinderella bride planned to spend a week here on their honeymoon before leaving for New York June 3. As Leed's luxurious yacht Moana docked here last night from a Caribean cruise, a secretary of the millionaire told reporters Leeds was confined to his cabin with a "bad case of asthma," contracted when he stood on the Moana's bridge during strong winds. Five years ago at Atlantic City, Leeds rescued Olive Hamilton, an Atlantic City telephone operator, from drowning. Their romance was climaxed by a marriage at sea last I week while on a cruise.

YOUTH HELD IN DEATH ADMITS SUNBURY THEFT ALLENTOWN, May 29 (U.P)Joseph Soyk, Hazleton, 24-year-old paroled convict, who allegedly shot and killed Hyman Berkov during an attempted holdup at Berkov's jewelry store, confessed today, police said, that he robbed a Sunbury, tailor shop last Wednesday of $60. John Spiziri, owner of the Sunbury tailor establishment, was the victim in the first holdup. At the time, Spiziri told police that a young man, after entering the shop and asking to see a suit of clothes, pulled a gun, relieved him of his cash, hit him over the head and then forced him upstairs where he locked him in a room. Police have been seeking Soyk several weeks for parole violation. Yesterday afternoon he strolled into Berkov's shop with a pistol in his pocket.

Berkov was killed, police say, when he attempt(ed to summon aid from the crowd of shoppers passing by outside. When Soyk fled, Michael Herrick and William Smith, both of Allentown, followed him through side streets and alleys until they found a policeman. Soyk dropped his coat, which had the pistol in a side pocket, a moment before he was arrested. Police picked it up. Meanwhile, Berkov lay on the floor of his shop until Otto Yost, a newsboy, heard his groan.

He died a few minutes later. He was married and widely known in Allentown. His shop was a combination jewelry and pawn shop. Soyk admitted the shooting. He.

said he fired when he thought the jewelry was reaching for a gun. MAY OPERATE ENTERPRISE Tony Rose, of Scranton, who heads the syndicate which proposes to buy and reopen the Enterprise colliery, was in Shamokin yesterday and conferred with officials of the Enterprise Colliery Local, United Mine Workers of America. That the Enterprise colliery, em-, ploying 640 men, is about to resume operations, is indicated in that men are now engaged in retimbering the slope. The syndicate headed by Mr. Rose operates several collieries in the Scranton area.

All the collieries are working full time, evidence that the syndicate has a good market for all the coal it produces. Transfer of the colliery to the Rose interests is being temporarily delayed because the Federal court at! Scranton has appointed a referee who will decide to whom the liery equipment belongs. The Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, who leased the colliery to the new defunct Northumberland Mining Company, claimed the equipment because, they said, they have about a quarter of a million dollars due them in back royalties a and rental, but the trustees! appointed by the court state that the equipment is part of the estate of the Northumberland Mining Company and should go to the concern who next operates the colliery. HOOVER TO ATTEND G. O.

P. CONVENTION WASHINGTON, May 29. (U.P.)Chairman Henry P. Fletcher of the Republican National Committee an-! nounced today that former President Herbert Hoover would attend the national convention at Cleve-: land. Mr.

Fletcher said that an invitation to the former president to attend the convention had been accepted and that Mr. Hoover had accepted. "Mr. Hoover has accepted the invitation," Fletcher said. "And we expect him at the convention unless some unforseen circumstance inter-1 venes." Previous indications had been that the former president would not attend the convention in person.

Fletcher announced that invitations had been issued to the former president. to former Vice President Charles G. Dawes, all Republican governor, senators and congressmen, members of the National Committee and past officers to sit on the platform at the Cleveland convention. "Practically all of them have indi-, cated that they would 'accept the invitation," the National Committee announced. Mr.

Hoover was quoted as saying he was arranging his affairs in order to be present for the sessions.

Potter (United Press Staff Correspondent) HARRISBURG, May 29. (U.P.)This week's legislative imbroglio over relief left no funds in sight today for support of Pennsylvania's 600,000 unemployed after Sunday, but checks and food orders were ready in every county for mailing at a moment's notice.

Hopeful that Senate-House ditferences on the sum to be provided for June relief would be ironed out during the Monday night opening of the fifth week of the special session, Relief Administrator Karl De Schweinitz has made arrangements to shorten the impending "starvation period" to a minimum. He ordered staffs kept at the 67 county relief headquarters "throughout Monday night, if necessary" to place in postoffices the jobless dole envelopes immediately' after the General Assembly authorizes funds. The checks and food orders will be released by telegrams from the state relief headquarters here. De Schweinitz believes his arrangements will reduce by one day the period in which dole recipients must await legislative action. The plan resulted from refusal of the House to concur in the Senate's $2,000,000 cut in a resolution pledging the Legislature to make available for June relief $6,931,211, including an unexpended balance of $845,000 from May.

The Senate adjourned for the week Wednesday while House Democrats and Republicans were engaged in violent controversy over acceptance of the Senate figure. Officials were agreed that the $845,000 could not be legally spent for relief without legislative thorization. Meantime, De Schweinitz prepared extensive relief data for use of the Republican majority of the Senate in determining minimum relief needs to Jan. 31, estimated by the Democratic administration at $70,991,000. Revenue department staffs were compiling additional information on taxes which were requested a'so in a G.

O. P. sponsored resolution. Apparently under the assumption three major items in the 9-point revenue program passed by the 1935 Legislature to raise $60,000,000 for relief to May 31, 1936, were yielding in excess of estimated amounts that could be used to finance relief in the future, the department was asked for data on the corporate net income, personal property and cigarette levies. The Senate will be advised that the cigarette impost of one cent on each 10 cigarettes is the only one of the trio exceeding expectations, its yield more than doubling the Legislature's estimate of $5,000,000 a year.

The close of business Wednesday, the levy had brought $8,641,939 to the state treasury. The revenue department estimates the yield will pass the $10,500,000 mark tomorrow, the last business day of the fiscal year. SAGON WOMEN ORGANIZE The women of Sagon formed a Democratic Ladies' Club. Mrs. Margaret Noble, president of the Eleanor Roosevelt Club of Kulpmont, and one of the county's active Democratic women, helped the Sagon women select their officers, after which Mrs.

Margaret Hummel of Sunbury conducted the installation exercises. The following women were elected to serve for the year: Mrs. Emma Zuzulla, president; Mrs. Martha Malinowski, vice president; Mrs. Anna Hradisky, treasurer; Mrs.

Mary Spischock, secretary. Guests were present from Sunbury, Marion Heights and Kulpmont. Representative Joseph P. Bradley was the guest speaker. A delicious banquet was served.
