Kings horse when an alert Lon
don policeman spoiled his aim.
Scotland Yard may feel, it was
pointed out, that another con-
spirator may have handed NC
Mahon his pistol. So far as has
been learned, no one saw him
actually draw the weapon from
his pocket. AS his actions 1mme-
diately preceding the attempt had
aroused suspicion, it was believed
police would have seized him the
moment he reached into his pocket
instead of waiting until the gun
was in full view and pointed oil
rectly at the King.
The yard" was understood to
be continuing its investigation
among communists, radicals and
other political extremists in Seach
of a possible political plot against
the king, while his personal ADV.
sors urged him to keep himself
we'll protected at all times.
Messages Please King
But the kings first care was TO
read messages that poured in from
his well.wisherS.
Although Edward has adopted
the attitude that the seriousness
of yesterdays incident has been
exaggerated, he was described as
extremely pleased with the world
wide expressions Of thankfulneSs
for his escape.
He was particularly delighted
with numerous cables from Amerl'
can well-wishers.
Premier MusSolini of italy and
Chancellor Adolf Hitler Of Ger
many were among those sending
congratulations.
The King had no official out
side engagements listed for to-
day. and was expected to occupy
himself at York House and BUCK
ingham Palace with usual state
business.
\
Though it was significant that
there was not single criticism of
the police protection arrange
ments made for the King in vol
luminous descriptions Of the affair
in London's morning newspapers,
police chiefs held a prolonged SEES
sion until early this morning, fully
reviewing all plans for safeguard
ing royal personageS.
They decided the present system
of guarding the King can be con-
siderable frightened and improved,
especially along the line Of Stricter
supervision of Edwards frequent
incognito walks in the vicinity Of
Buckingham Palace and York
House. Moreover, they agreed to
do something about his tendency
to get ahead of his protective es-
cort when afoot.
Mcmahon was known to police
prior to his arrest yesterday. it
was learned authoritatively today.
He drew official attention when
he telephoned the home office,
and had been under surveillance
by special operatives.
One operative was almost at his
side and others were nearby when
he drew his revolver as the king
passed.

fair way to find it out.
With the example of the youth
full Senator Rush Holt in mind,
the equally youthful Joseph T.
Monaghan of Montana has an
