First ID Months as Ex-KingL LeaveH Him
 BaffIed, Thwarted

By NEA Service
 Whatever Edward, Duke of Windsor, may have learned about the problems of the working man during the year since he abandoned his throne on Dec. II, 1886, he has prob ably learned tllis--that the life of an unemployed king is not one of simple, uncornplicated happiness.
 Facing a second year of virtual exile from his homeland and from the duties and responsibilities that have been his from birth, Edward is probably just as perplexed about his future course as are the millions whose interest in his career is u1- abated,
 In a Paris hotel suite he faces the first anniversary of his aban- donment of a 1000-year throne. He cannot remain there without lead- ing just the kind of an aimless life he has. said he does not want to lead.
 He cannot go anywhere in the British Empire at present.
 Almost any active work with . public slant would bring him square, ly up against the solemn promise of his abdication speech that T now quit altogether public affairs"
 Acutely disappointed, puzzled and chagrined by the fiasco of his pro- jected trip to America, the duke faces the second year of his "exile" thwarted and baffled, without clear ideas of how to use the position and specialized training that still mark him out from other men.
 Just a Year Ago
 Just a year ago, certain clear, de- liberately- spoken words came tumb- ling from American radios.
 "A few hours ago l discharged my last duty as King and Emperor. And now that I have been succeeded by my brother, the Duke of York, my first words must be to declare my allegiance to him. This I do with all my heart"
 The King had abdicatedl The voice continued, clear, deliberate. e.. the help and support of the woman I love one matchless blessing, enjoyed by SO many of you not bestowed upon me, happy home with his wife and children |.

character. Friendship is based
on something shared together,
and so it comes about that
friendship which could be the
most beautiful thing in life,
could also be one of the most
dangerous. 1t was by our
friendship more than by any

HEALD SEEKS
DISMISSAL OF
BOND ACTION


District Attorney Elmer Heald
will journey to Riverside Tuesday
to move for dismissal of the j. r.
Mason case attempting to saddle
taxpayers of the two counties with
the entire bonded indebtedness of
the old Palo Verde levee district,
according to Heald The case was
filed in Riverside in April, 1885, and
delayed by restraining order
while the matter was considered by
the United States circuit court OF
appeal.
Mason based his case upon the
fact that small portion of the
old levee district projects into Riv-
erside and Imperial counties. He
contends, Heald explained, that
since the levee district defaulted on
its bonds, all the lands in Imperial
county are liable.
While the case against Imperial
county involves approximately $6,-
600, Heald said, 1t is dangerous
one in that it attempts to establish
a precedent.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb.
/. (UP)-Ballots on a peace
proposal were being distri-
buted to more than 100000
members of maritime unions
on the Pacific coast today as dis
putants in the costly 94-day-iong
tieup of west coast shipping speed
ed efforts to end the strike this
week.
Members of the seven unions
comprising the maritime fedora
ton of the Pacific will vote as
individual unions but the votes
will be complied as one unit and
results be determined from the
total membership.
The proposal on which the men
are voting provides increased wag-
eS for members of six of the seven
unions with the longshoremen re-
ceiving pre-strike wages but other
concessions which will provide
more advantageous conditions and
greater opportunity for overtime
pay.
All unions were given control

lished a virtual closed shop in
shipping employment and all u

stewards won working day "a
