This scheme would have to fix a method of governing the situation in the Rhineland for the time being, so as to assuage French wrath over Hitlers occupa- ton of the demilitariSed zone. Eden was said to have told Ribbentrop frankly that satisfaction of the Lo- carno powers for Hitlers treaty vio- lotion must come first. Baldwin was understood to have asked Ribbentrop today to take to Hitler personal message from him, emphasizing the importance of Edens' remarks. It was understood that in proposals to be made next Tuesday Fuehrer Adolph Hitler planned little of what people here would call practical. A high spot, 1t was indicated, will be the offer of peace pacts flor eter- nity" instead of mere 25 years.
 France Not Appeased
 France is indicated as sufficiently angered over Germany's violation of the Locarno treaty to be consider ing direct action. Hence the idea was growing here that eternity was a long time and that it would be better if Germany talked first of means of ending the danger of a war right now. In his proposals to be made next week, it was under stood, Hitler has contemplated stressing his desire for broad set clement of all of western Europe's international problems.
 British leaders are understood to feel that Hitler's broad plans for European appeasement could be discussed usefully only if he previ- ously submitted practical scheme for the transitional period, thus satisfying France and Belgium on his violation of treaties.
 Even Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, who has defended the Ger man responses to recent representa- tions, was said to be disappointed at the outlook for new proposals for Germany. and diplomats believed that prospects were not good.

DEMOS PILE UP BIG VALLEY LEAD

MORESTRENGTH,
LAW IN FRONT

With more votes tabulated
than ever before received in
systematic, m p a + i a |
straw b a lot in Imperial
county, returns today show
ed an almost monotonous consis-
tency with previous tabulations,
placing Democrats far ahead in
each race.
One of the most interesting facts
brought to light by the latest count,
however, was that Ed. V. Izac,
Democratic congressional candidate
commanded a more convincing lead
over Ed p. Sample, his Republican
opponent, than did President Roose-
welt over Governor Landon. The
observation was more startling be
cause Izac is pledged whole heart
edly to support Roosevelt and the
New Deal.
Edward NJ Law, Democrat run
ming for the state senate, continued
to increase his runaway lead over
w. S. Dunn, Republican.
Latest accumulative totals are:
For president, Roosevelt, 679; Ian
don, $40; Lemke, So For congress,
Izac, $40; Sample, 35l. For state
senate, Law, 1888; Dunn, 278.

KING REFUSES
TO GAG PRESS
OVER SCANDAL.

LONDON, Oct. 10. (UP)
King Edward VIII, press
ed by influential advisers
to maintain m ore secrecy
about his friendship wit h
Mrs. Ernest Simpson, refused to-
day to attempt to gag British
newspapers desiring to report the
American woman's divorce court
proceedings next week.
1t was understood the kings
secretaries asked him whether he
would send confidential messages
to editors of newspapers and news
agencies. requesting them to ig-
more or soft-pedal the Simpson
divorce case when it comes up at
the Ipswich Assizes.
The king, however, rejected the
proposal. A source close to Buck
ingham Palace told the United
Press:
His majesty is opposed to ap-
pealing to the press to suppress
news of the divorce suit when it
is heard in court because it might
otherwise convey the impression
that his majesty is involved in
Mrs. Simpsons private affairs"
The kings action was in line
with his steady insistence chat
his friendship with Mrs. Simpson
is nobody's business but his own
despite the surge of gossip which
has prompted individual members
of parliament to consider making
representations to him on the SUBJ
ject.
