London, Oct &C. (AP)-King George
vi, an earnest figure in the splendid
trappings of Britain's ancient ma
jesty pledged his government today
to attempts to restore peace to China
and Spain.
At the same time, the monarch
promised air raid protection for all
England and forecast more help for
England's needy families.
The monarch read slowly and hest
tatingly the prepared text of his
speech. Frequent pauses, some Of
them ten seconds in duration, broke
the sentences and some words were
lost entirely to the gallery
ly because of a speech impeachment
which has troubled the king a num-
Der of years.
George opened his first Parliament
from the throne dais in the sombre
House of Lords, with Queen Elizabeth
in a chair of state at his side, and
concluded with this unusual benedic-
tion
'I pray that under the blessings of
Almighty God the outcome of your
deliberations may advance the hap

and the peace of world
Usually the king merely invokes
divine blessing on Parliament's Ga
boris" Otherwise, however, the speech
delivered to the assembled members
of Parliament in the musty grandeur
of the House of Lords, hewed to the
usual formula.
It began with: "My relations with
foreign powers continue to be friend

to visit him in November, and Rou-
