King Waives Cerefmony on
Forty-First Birthday;
Hard At Work. f
(By the Associated Press)
LONDON,—George VI, FEritain’s
new king, pledged to his parliament
today “my constant endeavor, with
God’s help and supported by my
dear wife, to uphold the honor of
the realm and promote the happi
ness of the people.”
His message was read, first to
the house of lords, while Edward,
Duke of Windsor, sought relaxation
in the guarded grouds of an Aus
trian castle and, as a private citi
zen, arranged to consult a Vienna
specialist for an old ear affliction.
In the new king’s promise he in
jected the phrase, “at a moment of
great personal distregs.” It was
George VI'S forty first birthday,
but in the grave aftermath of em
pire crisig created by his brother’s
love for a twice-married American
he waived all anniversary, cere
mony. Y
: New (Concreation
Hig action was in keeping with a
call from the Archbishop of Can
terbury for a nation consercration
anew to Christian sobriety.
Lord Halifax read the Monarch’s
message to the house of Lords. It
was transmitted to Prime Minister
Staniey Baldwin for delivery to the
house of commons, where member
continued their individual oats of
allegiance to the king. ~
On the dais before the peers,
symbolic of the new regime, were
two thrones.
At Cannes, Wallis Warfield Simp
son, the woman for whom Edward
renounced the throne and all that
it is linked to, was guarded with
new vigilance after the receipt ofi
abusive letters. ;
The country needs a renewal of
its belief in the Christian life, as
serted the Archbishop of Canter
bury, in a castigation of former
King Edward as a man who “dis
appointed hopes so high and aban
doned a trust so great”.
The new xing, hard at work at
his official headquarters, left his
Queen at their home, 145 Picca
dilly, mildly ill with an attack of
influenza.
_" The condition of Queen Illizabeth
this morning was reported “about
the same.”
Court officials said her coindition
was not serious, but it was advis
able for her to remain indoors a
few days. She was not confined to
bed.
“Oh, the pity of it!” exclaimed
the archbishop, head of the state
church, in a Sunday broadcast

Makes Appointment With
Vienna Specialist on
Ear Affliction.

More Guards Placed Over
Wally As Result of
Abusive Letters.
VOESLAU, Australia. —(#)— The
Duke of Windsor, closely guarded
in a cheateau where he started
life anew today as a private citi
zen, made an appointment to con
sult a Vienna speciallst about &
long-standing ear affliction.
The former king of England,
who came to Austria last night
after giving up his throne for
Mrs. Wallis Simpson, was expect
eq to call at the Vienng clinic of
Prof. Heinrich Neumann late in
the day after all other patients
had left, attendants said.
It was noted the former sover
eign held his hand over his ear
when he was driven from the Vi
enna station to the country estate
of Baron Kugene de Rotheschid?
near here after a trip from Eng
lang through France and Switzer~
land.
| Ethical Silence
~ Neumann maintained an ethical
gilence concerning the nature of
the duke’s ear trouble, but it was
learned from attendants and other®
' physicians that the treatments he
will undergo consist of x-ray,
light rays and rinsing the inner
ear. ;
Neumann has treated the for
‘mer king on previous visits to
Vienna. The _specialist confined
rh{fiaself to a statement that the
|ear trouble was not serious and
that the treatments were design
!ed to prevent the condition from
becoming worse.
Too Many Baths
Bar specialists believe the ail
ment might have been caused,
either by ga fall from a horse ori
by infection following bathing. ‘
The former king was able, how
ever, to play golf today. |

will finish the two routes, when
other construction, already under

One of the projects is for pav:
