Zioncheck-—he won his “independence” a Week ago by vaulting the fence of a Maryland private sanitarium—cciebrated a “safe and sane” Fourth of July todar. He remained abed late. All was quiet in the modest one-storied home owned by his ailing mother, Mrs. Prances Zioncheck, in the university district. A political truce apparently was | “patched up” last night with County Commissioner John C.

Stevenson, a Democratic candidate | for Governor, spent three hours with Zioncheck shortly after the Repre- | sentative talked about entering the | gubernatorial race himself. He introduced both Zioncieck and | his bride on & special radio program last night Later Zioncheck said, enigmatically, | “I'm supposed to have turned against | party leaders, but I don't know who the party leaders are around here now.” Stevenson refused to pose with the Representative, because ‘“‘photogra- | phers always show me with too much beard.” But of Zioncheck, he said, *Everything's okeh.” Sees Roosevelt Victory. Zioncheck told his listeners, {s but little question Roosevelt will be re-elected. He's muffed the ball many times, but he is & better man than Landon. | “The ideal man for President doesn't exist. Roosevelt must get rid of his so-called friends and advisers —men like Farley and McIntyre—and | I'm going to help him in every way.” | Undecided on Own Plans.

Howard Costigan, youthful execu- tive director of the Washington Com- menwealth Federation, announced to- day the federation was not indorsing Zioncheck for re-election. “The federation will not consider indorsing anybody until its Staie con- vention, July 25, and may not do so then,” he said.

Police said the 37-year-old Quincy Orchard farmer declared he had just driven up to the house and blown his horn when the shooting occurred. An investigation was underway today. Burroughs' car careened off the road and crashed into a tree a half-mile away. Police carried him to the Montgomery County General Hospital, where it was said his wounds are not_serious.

Several smaller nations threatened to withdraw unless a definite policy was settled upon. England recently took the lead to lift the sanctions.

GENEVA, July 4—The League of Nations' assembly tonight refused Emperor Haile Selassie’s request of a loan for Ethiopia and voted to end debates on the Italo-Ethiopian war, The assembly’s action practically assured the lifting of League sanctions from Italy, which, last year, the | peace body branded an aggressor i Forty-four members voted to adopt & steering committee resolution to end turther debate on the Italo-Ethiodian | conflict.

B) the Associated Press. LONDON, July 4.—The likelihood that Germany will be invited to pare ticipate in the proposed further meet- ing of the Locarno pact signatories, not in the role of defendant, but in the interests of a comprehensive Eu- ropean settlement of difficulties, was indicated today in authoritative quar- ters. Whether Germany will be asked to ~ join in the discussion will depend en- tirely upon the situation prevailing a: the time of the meeting, it was stated. The Locarno treaty was initialed in October, 1925, by Germany, Bei- gium, France, Great Britain and Italy in an effort to guarantee the peace of Western Europe. The Nazi occupa- tion of the Rhineland in March of this year was declared to be in viola- tion of the treaty, and the Brit dispatched a lengthy questionnaire Germany to determine the Reich | titude in the light of non-conformanc in terms of the agreement The evident need for a new pa‘t to replace the torn treaty wou. prompt an invitation to the Thu: Reich, it was declared, regardless of whether a formal reply to the Britisa | questionnaire is received.
