KING is HOLDING
GROUND WON IN
FIGHT FOR LIFE
Doctors Resume Treat

Method to Speed Health.
BY KEITH JONES
United Press STAFF Correspondent

LONDON, Jan. 4.-King George
held the ground today he has
gained during several days of slow,
but steady improvement.
An official bulletin issued at
Buckingham palace today said:
THE king had a quieter night.
The local condition shows slight
improvement while the general con-
dition remains stationary"
Ray-therapy treatments were
given the king thursday night for
the first time in several days. These
previously had benefited him, and
his physicians apparently were
making use of every known method
to hold and improve the lead the
king has taken over his illness.
The statement issued Thursday to
the Lancet and British Medical
Journal, medical weeklies, was en-
couraging in tone.
The king still remains too weak to
feed himself, the statement indi-
Gated, but this weakness, the disin-
clination to take food, dryness of
the tongue and the low blood pres
sure were improving.
The statement added that the
kings illness will be a long and
anxious problem"
Nevertheless, improvement and
progress are taking place slowly,
but surely, enough to justify the
hope that the king will be restored
to his people"
So long as the state of exhaus-

county courts for the support either
of children or wives to whom di-
vorces have been granted.

Indignation Expressed by Democrats at Employ ment of Hartford Man If That Is Treason, Make the Most of It," Bingham's Retort.

WasIngton, Sept. o6 LP-The senate, with the opening attack of democrats and republican inde- pendonts in mind. today faced the prospect oi a lengthening contro- ycrsy over the haXiblc provisions of the tariff bill, advocated by Presi- dent Hoover and supported by the republican leaders.
 Roth sides were plunged into the task of rounding up and strengthen ing their forces. recognizing that the vote, when it comes, is likely to be closr one. The democrats were obviously encouraged by the evil dcncc of support from the republi- can independent group given by the attack on the flexible provisions by Senator la Toilette of Wisconsin. while the republican leaders felt ythey could count heavily on the presidents statement urging contin- uanre of the policy they cmbody.

 Chairman Smoot of the finance committee told the senate that, at his suggestion, Charles l.. Eyanson. the man Bingham employed, and other secretaries of th- republican members had been excluded from the committee room after they had attended several sessions. His state mcnt followed a defense of Bing- hams action by the Connecticut senator himself and republican leaders after it had been described as "braZen" Ay democrats.
