LONDON, Dee s (I.N.S.).
Following a bulletin in which
it was stated that King
George s Temperature is still
above normal, five doctors
gathered III cansultation this
afternoon III Buckingham
Palace to review the whole i'll
ness.
1t was understood that the
methods of treatment might b
slightly revised as the result Of
study Of the x.ray photographs cf
the right side Of the Kings chest,
taken late yesterday.
The physicians present at the
consultation were Lord Dawson cf
Penn, Sir Stanley Hewitt, Sir E
Farquhar Buzzard. Sir Humphrey
Rolleston, and DR.. TT. Graham Hodg-
son, who directed the taking OF tlas

1t was intimated that another

Sir Stanley Hewitt.
X.Ray Favorable
Although in x-ray photographs
taken late yesterday were said to
show a favorable condition. there
was some increase in anxiety over
the fact that Sir Stanley spent the
entire night at the palace.
Some alarm was caused by reports
that the physicians had discussed
the advisabiIity4 of an operation but
had decided against it because it
was believed he lacked sufficient
vitality to permit such step.
1t is believed ordinary active
treatment will be continued instead.
The King spent restless day yes
terday. His restlessness, according
to the physicians, was caused by the
use of a surgical needle to withdraw
pleural matter from the infection
in his chest.
The physicians took x-rays of the
infected parts after the needle ex-
ploration and found that the plearal
effusion was small their latest pul-
letin stated.
The use of the needle for the first
time. it was pointed out by 1alace Of

condition had become worse.
