Benedict's Buffoonery

To the dismay of his House colleagues and the delight of the Press, Washington's eccentric Representative Marion Anthony Zioncheck last week continued his Zioncheckered career by:

P:Obtaining a District of Columbia license to marry Public Works Administration Typist Rubye Louise Nix, only to find it useless because the minister he named to perform the ceremony had not lived in Washington for two years.

P:Roaring away to Annapolis, Md., where he and pretty Miss Nix were wed only after Representative Zioncheck succeeded in borrowing $2 for another license from an obliging clerk.

P: Leading reporters to his Washington apartment, where he danced in an Indian war bonnet, made beef stew, exhibited his pet terrapins and denied his marriage with the statement: "This all reminds me that there is commotion in the ocean and the ocean is full of commotion."

P:Shouting at newshawks, when they tried to interview Mrs. Zioncheck: "Say, I'm wearing the pants here. Look at 'em!"

P:Starting on a wedding trip, which was promptly interrupted when he was arrested for going 62 m.p.h. through Alexandria, Va.

P:Hiring a honeymoon yacht at Beaufort, N. C. whence he put out to sea, returned to be arrested again at Shallotte, N. C. on speeding charges which were subsequently dropped.

In Seattle five Democrats simultaneously announced for Marion Zioncheck's House seat.
