and Mrs. Simpson
Show Terrific Strain

LONDON, Dec. 4 0.N.SD. .
Fighting for their love through
a terrible 48 hours of anxiety.
both King Edward and Mrs. Wal
lis Simpson today showed signs
of the strain.
Pictures of the King published
today showed his face marked by
tragedy. One in particular, snap
ped as he left Queen Mary at
Marlborough House last night,
disclosed him to his subjects as
they never before had seen their
king.
AS he lifted his hat in recogni-
ton of the cheering crowd, he
barred to the camera a face that
almost talked, although his lips
were grimly set. His face told
of the terrific odds against which

The influence here will be from
foreign selling of American securi-

it will be nothing more than a
temporary factor.

he was trying to hold out for the
love of the woman who had made
a newly inspired man of him. His
brows were knitted in distress and
his eyes filled with sadness.
Meanwhile Mrs. Simpson. &C
cording to friends, is in a state
of constant nervous tension. The
crisis of the last two days, on top
of the strain of recent weeks, has
brought her to the verge of a
nervous breakdown, so that she
requires frequent medical atten-
ton. A woman said:
"Mrs. Simpson is trying des-
perateIy to avoid collapse. She
wants to maintain the steadi-
ness which she has so often
told His Majesty is so all-im.

LONDON, Dec. 4 (I.N.SO.-Brit-
aims press swung to the view to-
day that some way must be found
for King Edward to continue his
reign, and the Beaverbrook Press,
the Daily Express, the Evening
Standard, the Rothermere Press,
the Daily Mail and the Evening
News joined the s-Chronicle
and Evening Star in hoping for a
solution that would permit him to
marry Mrs. Wallis Simpson.
The austere Times, however, re-
mains adamant. 1t says:
''NOthing could be farther
from the truth"
The Times admits that the trou-
BILE lies "in some old-fashioned,
conventional dislike of the mar
riage of the King with a COM
moner' or with an American"
It continues:
"There are many daughters Of
America he could have married
with approval and rejoicing.
HUSBANDS IN WAY
"The one ObjectiOn-and 1t Is
an overwhelming ObjectiOn-iS
that the lady in question has
already two former husbands
living. "
Abdication would be a calamity
and disaster" remarks the Daily
Express, stating that public opin-
ion must determine the course of
events.
The NewS-C hron Gle again
stresses the possibility of the
Kings marrying Mrs. Simpson as
the Duke of Cornwall or LancaS-
ter, making her his duchess, and
not queen.
Says the Daily Mail:
is A MAN, TOO
"AbdicatiOn is out of the ques-
tion. The effect on the empire
would be calamitOuS. The King
and his ministers must find a
way out.

 to Seattle

Pilots Joe CroSSon and Walter Hall, enroute with the PAA Lockheed Electra from Fairbanks to Burbank, California, where the big plane will undergo complete overhaul in the Lockheed factory, were held on the ground at the local airport today by adverse weather conditions in Se- attle.
 Carrying a gasoline cargo of 475 gallons, the two-motored transport plane is capable of a tremendous cruising radius, and the pilots are concerned only with the weather at optional landing fields in the States. AS soon as weather conditions at Seattle, Wenatchee, Wash, or any field in the States on their route 10 Burbank, not farther from Juneau than Medford, Oregon, will permit landing the wheel-equipped plane, the two pilots expect to take off and fly over intervening unfavorable con- ditions. The weather at high alti- tudes is always good, they stated.
 This morning Seattle reported the weather Overcast, with light rain and low visibility" but Wenatchee, Washington, reported broken over cast" which indicated that the weather tomorrow may favor depar- ture of the Electra.
