RIGHT LUNG AFFECTED
BY KEITH JONES,
United Press STAFF Correspondent

United Press STAFF Correspondent
LONDON, Nov. 29.-Conf1icting
views concerning the illness of the
King of England were in circulation
today, but the reinsurance of royal
physicians that his majesty's condi-
ton was unchanged served to allay,
somewhat the anxiety of the empire.
AT $3.50 a. m. a spokesman at
buckingham palace informed the
United Press that the kings condi-
ton was unchanged. At the same
time, it was learned that Sir Will
liam Joynson Hicks, home secretary,
had said at dinner of the Past
Overseers' society that "the king Is
really seriously ill and it must be
matter of anxiety"
Spokesman at the palace said
there had been no change in the
kings condition since the night
bulletin and that he was resting
comfortably.
Physicians Give Assurance
Further reinsurance was felt when
1t was learned that Sir Stanley
Hewett and Lord Dawson of Penn,
the kings physicians, were well sat-
isfled with His Majesty's condition
last night and that they spent less
than an hour at the palace on their
call.
The Daily News said 1t had
learned the king was following news
paper reports of his illness closely
and that he sometimes listened to
radio bulletins concerning his condi-
ton.
There was general expression of
relief yesterday after the cabinet
received a lettr from the royal physi-
clans, setting forth in exact terms
the nature of the kings illness. That
letter, written by Lord Dawson of
Penn, pointed out that His Majesty
was suffering from inflammation of
the right lung, with extensive plastic
pleuriSy on the right side."
Given Definite News.
Despite the fact that the physi-
clans oeScrlDed That allment as Sc
rious," it gave Englishmen a more
definite idea of their rulers con-
dition than has been obtaiuable
from meager bulletins which have
been issued.
After receipt of the letter, the
cabinet held a meeting in Downing
street, which was attended by all
members except the Earl of Bal
four.
The Daily News also reported that
the state councillors were consid-
ering emergency measures as a re-
suit of the kings illness. Arrange
mentS to continue the functions Of
the crown in the event that His
Majesty's illness is protracted were
discussed by the council, the news
paper said.
