They took one room apartment in the bases ment of c house in Westbcurile Terrace, in North London, l8 months ago. They said that he was pleas- ant, devoted to his wife, and Of an idealistic type.

 The king, perusing the messages which poured iil on him from all over the world, expressed surprise ct the universal per"onal interest in him. He was greatly impressed by the number of the messages and their warm cordiality.
 When he arrived ct Buckingham Palace from York House after lunch, q crowd i2 deep, which had been waiting patiently ct the gates for hours, cheered him. The crowd lin- gered to sec him depart again for York House for tea. After tea, the king was expected to motor to Fort Belvedere, his nearby country rest. dence, for the weekend.

 Hut pr. Townsend, who can do no wrong in the eyes of many of the thousands of delegates here reach- ing for recovery through pensions for the aged, already has announc- cd plans to barn-storn the country for the Lemke ticket. He will travel and speak with Father Coughlin, the Rev. Gerald Smith and Lenlke, their candidate, who will appear here Sunday, probably to make 8 public pledge in support of the Townsend plan. On their tentative schedule are Philadelphia, Chicago. St. Louis, New Orleans and San Francisco.
 Vote For New Deal
 After Gomer Smith asSailed Father Coughlin and the Rev. Ger aid Smith for personally attacking MT, Roosevelt, he announced he would vote for the new deal next November. pr. Smith called Q press conference and. surrounded by rec porters and Aanked by the Rev. Smith, the pension plan leader dis- posed of 0omer Smith:
 T shall. ask ct 7:20 p. m. that MT. Conner Smith retire from our or- ganization," he said, Ion the grounds of discourtesy and attempt- ing to throw Q rift into our con- vention. There is plenty of room outside for those who do not agree with us. He had his free speech.
 If anyone working for me doesn't like my rule, he can leave."
 pr. Townsend was asked when he intends to turn o. A. R. P. voting ownership over to the citizens max imi group, representing each state.
 Townsend Called Them Rabble
 "That will wait until we are com. pletely organized" he replied. T am not going to turn those member ships over to c rabble,"
 DO you mean the citizens maximi of your organization are Q rabble?" asked Q reporter.
 "The citizens maxinai are not an organized group" Townsend replied. "They will accept that In the spirit 1t was meant"
 Queried about his connection with the Lemke movement, Town- send said:
 we are not endorsing any third party. I am not asking this con- vention to do it."

(Continued from Page i.) this afternoon. Heads of several major local trucking firms were also slated to be present, as well aS other officers of the union beside Naylor.
 There was . probability this morning that the arbitration board would meet without 6 representa- tive of labor sitting ct the session. The labor representative, William steinmiller, is away, and the law fails to make any provision for the appointment of 6 substitute. The other two members of the board are John H. dosS, of the scovill Mfg, Go, of this city, and Clyde O. Fisher, Middletown.
 No Suitable Contract
 Thus far the opposing groups have been unable to arrive at a suitable contract to replace the one signed last year to end the truck ing strike then in progress and which expired some weeks ago.
 The trucking company employees are seeking wage increases for specified trips, and are asking pay of at least 50 cents an hour during road breakdowns. Raises in pay over the scales in the expired con- tract are being sought.
 The drivers have voted support of strike, if one should be deemed necessary. Support of other local unions in this and other states has been asked, so that shipments to and from this city could be held in case strike should be called.

 No Doubt About Dick

 It was understood that Lieutenant gDlonel Sir Percy Laurie, assistant commissioner of Scotland Yard, tel" 3phcned l.. V. Dave, commandant ef | Division of the Constabulary, md expressed the official apprecia- Mofi Of Dicks heroiSm. s

 This vignette of an incident which might have brought death to Q British king for the second time in six months was somewhat similar to that of King Edward, who sum- marked 1t:

 Scotland Yard Praise
 Scotland Yard men, oil praislng Dick for his instantaneous reaction in an emergency, said that he would be Q principal witness against Me- Mahon, who will appear, probably in Bow Street police station, on re- rnand c week from today.
 To McMahon's wife, the drama that made Q hero of Dick and fur ther endeared King Edward to his people meant that her life seemed shattered. She visited McMahon early this morning in his cell at Brixton prison in South London. She is a brunette with dark, sad eyes.

 It was the first time in the recol- lection of republican chieftains that Roraback had ever openly deSig- mated his choice of Q candidate.
 Earlier this week Alcorn an- nounced he would seek the nomina- ton of an anti-New Deal platform resembling his stand of two years ago.
 Tilson said at the sheep.bake If the nomination is offered me, shall accept It."
 Aside from the shaping up of the state ticket ct the Hamilton recep- ton, there was noticed Q definite lack of Landon enthusiasm among the guests.
 LandOn Got No Hand
 At tho first mention by Hamilton of the name of the Kansas governor, there was no applause. Later mem tons of his name brought feeble responses.
 However, at the mere mention of the name of former President Her. bert Hoover, the crowd burst into cheers.
 Connecticut was among the first states to pledge delegates to 0over- nor Ali M. Landon ct the Cleveland national convention and in the 1928 and i032 elections gave Hoover ma. jorities over Smith and Roosevelt.
 Roraback's only comment was that "the situation this year looks very promising for the republi- cans."

The Rev. Gerald Smith joined the parade, and Dr. Townsend, co-founder and owner of old Age Revolving Pensions, Ltd, marched in the bolt to Lemke and his new party.
 DO you subscribe to Father Coughlin's statement that MT. Roosevelt is a liar, betrayer and double-crosser?" pr. Townsend was asked in press conferences after the tumultuous convention day which witnessed the priests attack and Vice-Presidcnt Conner Smiths re- ply.
