Possibility of Leave From Post Office Also Is Indicated. BACKGROUND— Since 1933 opposition political writers and ‘grators frequently have assailed James A. Farley for hold- ing the three offices of Postmaster General, ngtional Democratic chair- man and New York Democratic chairman. Almost as frequently rumors have drifted out of Farley's offices that he was about to give up one or another of the jobs. Because of his political impor- tance to the administration, it is expected he will quit the cabinet if he quits any of the posts. Nothing as yet, however, makes it certain he will abdicate any of his seats. B) the Asscciated Press. James A, Farley’s dual role as Posi- master General and chairman of the| Democratic National Committee—and the question whether he may quit the cabinet post—aroused new interest to- day as the Autumn election campaign hit its stride. | Farley was reported by one source | to have sent his resignation to Presi- | dent Roosevelt, and from another came | the suggestion that he might take a leave of absence from the Post Office | Department. Silent on Future Resignation. In Atlantic City, where he went for a rest, Farley said last night: | “I have not resigned as Postmaster General and beyond that I have no comment to make.” He parried a question as to whether he planned to resign later on, repeating that he had no further comment to make. ‘The New York Times, however, said in a Washington dispatch that Farley | had sent his resignation from the | cabinet to President Roosevelt in order | that he might concentrate on the | duties of his political post. The newspaper added that the resignation would be accepted and that William W. Howes, first assist- ant, would become Acting Postmaster General. Some Democrats were said by the newspaper to believe that if Mr. Roosevelt is re-elected Farley would be reappointed to the cabinet post. Opposition to this plan alsc was reported along with indications | that the President's re-election might | mean a new Postmaster General. Leave of Absence Suggested. In Washington some sources sug- gested that Farley might take a leave | of the campaign. Should this be the plan, usually well-informed sources indicated, Far- ley still would be in a position to devote his entire attention to politics. ‘This move, it was suggested, would leave Howes as acting chief of the department. In the closing hours of the Demo- cratic National Convention Farley was renamed to direct the national party organization. He also is chairman of | the New York State Democratic Com- mittee, a post he held before M Paddles Canoe 6,700 Miles LEMKE DENOUNCES Hardy Nurmsen rests on his oars at the Washington Canoe Club after completing 6,700 miles i ‘ put his 15-foot canoe up the Potomac to the Capital yesterday, after putting some 6.700 miles behind him since leaving home nearly a year ago.

WHITE HOUSE DOG' Representative Declares Presidents Put on Too Many Frills. | By the Associated Press.

Zioncheck bid farewell to | the city he had kept in an uproar for six months and boarded a train | for Chicago, wheré he will transfer to a plane that will take him more speedily to the West Coast. | The Zioncheck who left Washing- | ton last night, however, was not the Zioncheck who set the Capital agog New Year eve by plugging in the telephone lines helter skelter in a fashionable apartment house in the Northwest section, nor the Zioncheck who culminated a whirlwind courtship with a marriage and stormy honey- moon trip to the West Indies, nor the Zioncheck who climaxed a day of spectacular exploits a month ago by, leaving two empty beer bottles at the White House and winding up in the psychopathic ward at Gallinger Hos- pital posing jokingly for photog- raphers. Refuses to Wave. Asked to oblige with a wave, as he stood facing a battery of twoscore | cameras and news reel photographers, the Washington Representative quietly puffed his cigar and replied: I think not.” Smile he did, but it was not the expansive, boyish, obliging smile of & few weeks ago, before he was forcibly taken from Gallinger Hospital, where he had been under mental observation for three weeks, to the Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital at Townson, Md., from which he staked a spectacular escape Sunday by vaulting over an B-foot fence and hiding in the woods. Asked so say something—anything, just & word—he replied, quietly: “I think not.” Only when he was asked whether he expected to be gone long did he| make a quick reply: “Don’t worry; I'll be back.” Accompanied by Romney. Arm in arm with House Sergeant 2t Arms Kenneth Romney, who earlier in the day had prevented District po- lice from arresting him on a several- day-old assault warrant sworn out by Mrs. Benjamin Scott (Pamelia Schuy- ler) Young, and flanked by his friend, George Bishop, Capital policeman, who was to accompany him on his trip home, Zioncheck was whisked through the station to a waiting Pullman and hurried aboard. As burly railroad policemen guarded both ends of the car, preventing even passengers on the train from going through his car too frequently, and a guard with an automatic rifle stood watch in front of his compartment, Zioncheck went to bed. Of Mrs. Zioncheck, who left his Harvard Hall apartment two days be- fore he was taken to Gallinger Hos- pital for mental observation, but who returned to make daily visits and bring him flowers, nothing was to be seen. One rumor had it that she would meet her husband in Chicago. Another that she would come to Seattle later. But to all inquiries, Romney, who un- K here to “persuade” Zioncheck to re- turn to the Towson hospital. Throwing a guard of his Capital police in front of Zioncheck's offices, and keeping photographers, including newsreel men who had set up their cameras and sound apparatus in an- ticipation of the Representative's a rest, out of the building entirely, Rom- ney vesterday afternoon went to Zion- check’s offices for a conference. tempt to get him to go back home to Seattle,” Romney explained. “If they take him to Police Court or back to Gallinger, they’ll ruin him. What he needs is some sympathy and he’s going to get it.” Romney said this morning he took over the negotiations on his own re- sponsibility to eliminate “endless hear- ings, suits and even a sanity hearing after confinement in Gallinger Hos- pital “during the hot Summer months and while his mother was ill in a Seattle hospital. His acquaintance with Zioncheck began when the latter started his term in the House, al- though both are former students of the University of Washington. Reporters Wait in Corridor. ‘While reporters outside Zioncheck's door stood on one foot and then the other yesterday in the stuffy corridor, Romney conferred with his voluntary prisoner. Much later he emerged, still calm and collected, to announce Zion- check was apparently in the best of health physically and mentally and that he would have a statement to make later. The statement later to the effect that Zioncheck would return to Seattle that night at a time not an- nounced brought renewed tension to the awaiting reporters. As Zioncheck at last emerged with an escort of Capitol police and made for an ele- vator, they scattered in all directions to learn where he was headed. His destination proved to be the gym- nasium and shower baths in the new House Office Building, and while he bathed and shaved Romney himself went to post the $25.collateral re- quired on Mrs. Young's assault charge. Case Remains Open. Assistant United States District At- torney Karl Kindleberger said today the case will be called Friday as sched- uled, however. An attachment will be issued if the defendant fails to ap- pear, but such an attachment would be useless until Zioncheck returns to the District because the charge in- volves a misdemeanor, which does not provide for extradition. The case, therefore, is not closed, and Zioncheck will find the attach- ment awaiting him if he returns here. “District ice tried to serve the assault warrant yesterday,” Romney said, “but I put them out and they recognized the fact they had no juris- diction. I told them I could keep Zioncheck in his office all Summer if I wanted to. On this basis they agreed he could put up collateral so we could get him out of town. Zion- check could get here in 20 hours by plane if he cared to face the charge, but that is not expected.” Reporters and photographers, who all day yesterday, after Zioncheck had first been discovered in his offices, had sought points of vantage to view the Representative’s windows from across the courtyard with binoculars or catch a fleeting “shot” with a long- range camera, should he appear at a window for even a moment, sank back to wait further developments. 2 “I'm going to protect him and at-| knocks on the door, his presence in | the office was suspected shortly after- | ward. It was not confirmed, however, until a Capitol police officer entered | the offices shortly after noon and spoke with the Representative, whose iwheranbou'_s had been unknown since he escaped from the hospital at Tow- ’lon Sunday. It was 11:30 o'clock last night be- fore the hall near Zioncheck's office was cleared and the Representative | appeared in sight of reporters for the | | first time. He was dressed in a clean | | white suit, straw hat, dark shirt and figured tie. With Romney by his side, | he went down an elevator in the rear | of the building and around to the | | entrance on the west side of thej | building, where Romney's car was waiting. In a few moments, it was at the east entrance of the Union Station, where newsreel cameras already were set up. Then for about 5 minutes Romney and Zioncheck, followed by Bishop, whom Zioncheck had appointed to the Capitol police and who was taking his vacation to accompany his friend back to.Seattle, stood for pictures. Refusing to make a speech, as he had on at least a dozen other occa- sions when requested, and puffing his cigar leisurely, Zioncheck remained standing. His only marks were two small scratches, one on the end of his nose, the other on his left cheek. When Romney muttered “that's enough,” he turned with him and walked through the station as police cleared a way. Unhurriedly and ap- parently unaffected by the crowd or confusion, he walked with Romney straight to his train and then to his car and climbed aboard without so much as a look or wave to those fol- lowing. A few minutes later his train pulled out for Chicago. The guard with his submachine gun took his post and the two bulky sergeants their seats at ench end of the car. And as the red lights of the last car receded in the distance, many a District police offi- cer, who had come down to see him off, thought of his parting comment: “Don’'t worry; I'll be back.” Many onlookers were willing to lay odds he would.

Europe’s burden has been felt in many ways, from triple increases in prices of lemons in Denmark to disap- pearance of a lucrative coal market in Wales. Great Britain, occupying the dual role of important trader and mistress of the Mediterranean, shouldered the brunt. In seven months, the Italo-Ethio- pian conflict cost the United King- dom more than $75,000,000, of which over half was a direct charge on the taxpayer for the cost of special mili- tary, naval and aerial defense pre- cautions. From the British taxpayers’ pockets also came $45,000 paid to compensate Yugoslavia for her losses in enforcing sanctions. Trade With Italy Dwindles, On the export side British trade with Italy dwindled during the six months ending March 31 to $4,000,000, com- pared with $24,500,000 in the same period in 1934-5. France was second in the list of heavy lcsers, as business estimated its losses from sanctions at approximately $21,000,000. Exporters say sanctions have: 1. Tied up in Italy $26,400,000 due French exporters for goods sold in Italy before financial relations were sevared. 2. Cost hundreds of millions of francs in canceled contracts, figured in the estimated trade loss. 3. Decreased employment. Denmark’s losses were figured to be at least $1,000,000. Switzerland’s exports to Italy in the first six months of sanctions dropped approximately $5,100,000 under - the figure for the corresponding period a year earlier. ‘Turkey was regarded as one of the few countries which profited during the sanctions period, because she was nbkl tc; ;upply goods, particularly — coal, which was not on the sanctions aching b list, due to her $9,000,000 debt to Italy punions aad vl For oorns. bunions and ealluses.

One version of the reported visit said Schuschnigg was seeking British and French backing for the enthronement of the Hapsburg heir presumptive, Archduke Otto, in Vienna, Anxious About Schuschnigg. Another version had it that Eden and Blum, anxious lest Schuschnigg be planning an early attempt at Haps- burg restoration, wanted to persuade him to refrain from making it in the present precarious atmosphere of Eu- rope. Still another report said Schuschnigg was not even coming.
