Virtually every royal court IN

from firing of guns at Hyde Park
in the heart of London to beating
of tom-toms in the heart of the
African Jungle.
Fascist Italy, whose recent
tense relations with Great Britain
caused international speculation
over an Anglo-Italian clash, was
among the first nations to mourn
King George.
Premier Benito Mussolini or

At the same time, Ireland, most

yesteryears and joined England

The Irish Free State tri-color
was flown at half staff over all
public buildings and for the first

GEORGE IN STATE
AT SANDRINGHAM

SANDRINGHAM, England, Jan.
22.-UP)-Villagers and Che
roughly clad countrymen and wo-
men and their children. of the,
countryside bade a sad farewell
to their Jneighbor and squire King
George, today. Most of them had
known him personally.
The kings body lay white
shrouded, his hands crossed on
his chest, in its flag covered cof-
fin on a trestle, in the middle of
the chancel floor before the al
tar of st. Mary Magdalene church.
On this spot the casket of his
mother Queen Alexandra and bis
eldest brother, the Duke of Clar-
ence-whose death in January,
1892, made him heir to the throne
had reposed.
The village and country people
filed through the iron grilled gate
of the churchyard and up the
gravel pathway to the tiny Nor
man church, past century old
tombstones.
Most of the women wore black;
those that had none wore black
arm bands. The men wore black
neckties.
At the church door a policeman
formed them in single file and
asked them quietly whether they
had cameras.
The file moved past the church
organ pipes down the single aisle
between broad oak pews into the
chapel where in the chancel be-
tween the choir stalls and the
royal pews, just below the altar,
the body lay.
Over the coffin was draped the
royal standard, the only sign that
a king was lying there. On top
of the coffin, in the center was
floral cross surrounded with
white chrysanthemums, orchids
and pink carnations, from Queen
Mary. ...

WASHINGTON, JSn. %. (UP)
The $2,237,000,U00 soldiers
bonus bill goes sliding through
congress today and to President
Roosevelt's desk-for a probable
veto.
The house was scheduled to
whirl through the formality of
substituting the senate's measure,
providing payment, with baby
bonds which could be cashed at
once or held as an investment,
for the original house bill. Then,
after Speaker Joseph w. Byrns
and Vice-President John Nance
Garner sign the bill, a messenger
will carry it up Pennsylvania avs
nue. to the White House, possibly
late today.
When congress completes the
business of tossing the bill on MIR.
Roosevelt's desk, the leaders of
the bonus battle will have torn
down the last rampant in their
path. They expect to encounter
one more setback, but that will
be merely the temporary reverse
of the presidents veto. They
only return to congress for the
final rally with advance knowl-
edge that they can storm their
way over a veto with votes to
spare.
Impressed by the sizeable SEN
ate majority in favor of the bond
method of payment, advocates
were prepared to lose no time TO-
day.
The expected veto, they hope;
will come early next week and
within a few hours result In en-
actment of the cash payment plan
over the veto.
The house, on convenlng To-Day
has the senate bonus bill immedl-
atelv before it. Chairman Robert
L. Doughton of the ways and
means committee, plans to ask
unanimous consideration of 1t and
for agreement to senate changes,
Failing to get this the leadership
has a rule prepared which will
limit bonus debate to one hour
and then force d vote on the issue
of receding.

London, Sept. IL (UP)-The
mighty air ministry "hush-hush'
motor which drove Sir Malcolm
Campbell's Bluebird to a world land
speed record of better than 300 miles
an hour on the salt flats Of Utah
last year, is being fitted into a
motorboat.
England believes that when the
craft is finished early next year,
Sir Malcolm, his goal on land
achieved, will once again don racing
gear and try to wrest the Harms
worth trophy from Gar Wood.
But Sir Malcolm says England is
wrong-emphatically so. Over
luncheon table in Berkley yesterday,
he answered my question:, whether
he intends to make an assault on
Woods mark, with a vigorous de-
NAL He even went so far as to cross
his heart and hold up his right hand
while saying mo, no, mol" This out
burst of enthusiasm In staid Berk-
ley, might add, almost caused the
headquarters eyebrows to arch
clean out of sight.
Sir Malcolm did admit, and a bit
reluctantly, I thought, that Blue
birds motor was in a boat, that the
boat had been in the process of con-
struction for quite along while, and
that 1t would be quite fast"
I asked him why he was building
such boat If he didn't plan to
try for a record.
MY dear fellow" he answered,
1T am building it for two reasons,
the first being to keep me busy.
When made 800 miles an hour I
lost my interest In racing automo-
biles. That speed had been my goal
so long that when I reached 1t, the
game palled.I am through with 1t
forever, no matter If my time is bet
tered a dozen times.
I'm the second place, I know so
little about boats that I thought 1t
might be interesting to scratch an
unknown surface, so to speak. I
have a few ideas of construction
about which I am interested to see
II they will work out. But even If
they did, 1t is most unlikely that
the boat would be anywhere near
fast enough to challenge Gar Wood,
as he undoubtedly knows more about
