Washington's sensation -stirring congressman, was attributed by friends tonight to worry over a psychiatrist's advice that he take a long rest from politics. The playboy -congressman dashed from A desk in his campaign headquarters yesterday, leaped out a window and plunged to his death on the stewalk below under the horrified eves of his bride, walting for him In A parked automobile. Friends who refused to permit use of their names intimated Zioncheck was about to undergo more Institutional treatment but had been given permission to attend one last political meeting. "He thought he could show his friends that he was all said County Prosecutor Warren G. MAgunson.

A candidate for the Democratic congressional nomination.

William Nadeau, Arrived there last night to take hin. to A political meeting.

Nadeau said he looked over Zioncheck's shoulder and observed that note was incoherent. He urged the congressman to get ready for the meeting, "I helped him on with his coat," Nadeau said. "and asked him if he had hat. He pointed to the top of A book case. I turned my back to get the hat and he started for the window.

"I yelled, 'hey, Marion! Don't do that! Wait a and ran after him. He tore off his coat and dived out the window.

He related, however, that Zioncheck recently had been despondent. Nadeau said the congressman had written a letter to a psychiatrist, Dr. Edward D. Boedmaker, at the famIly's request. "Dr.

Boedmaker had told me there WAS nothing wrong about Zioncheck --98 far as being Insane and all that." said Nadeau. "But he told me Marion was terribly depressed and that I should watch him. "After I read that note I sat down with for minutes trying to buoy him up. Soon he was laughing and in good spirits." Coroner Mittlestadt said the note read: "My only hope in life was to 1m- prove the condition of An unfair economic system that held no prom1se to those that all the wealth of event a decent chance to survive let alone live-" Messages of Included one from Senator Schwelcondolence, lenback, of Washington state, who said: cannot forget that for three vears he was a sincere, brilliant And hard-working member of congress."
