Action—Labor Members
in Opposition.
BULLETIN.
DUBLIN, Irish Free State, De
cember 12 (JP).—The Dail Eireann
late today passed the government
bill providing for recognition by
the Irish Free State of Edward s
abdication as the British King and
acknowledging his brother. George
VI, to be his successor as head of
the British Commonwealth. The
vote was 81 to 53.
■t ths Associated Press.
DUBLIN, Irish Free State, Decem
ber 12.—The Irish Free State Dail
Eireann approved today the second
reading of the accession bill ratifying
the succession of King George VI.
The vote was 93 to 6. Labor party
members casting the opposing ballots.
Former Free State Attorney Gen
eral Costello commented after the
passage, “The bill seems to leave the
country with half a crown or per
haps no crown at all.” President
Eamon de Valera, however, pressed
for final passage of the measure to
day.
The accession law, approved yester
day In London, was brought formally
before the Irish Parliament to ratify
two actions: The former King's re
nunciation of the British throne and
King George's succession.
Buckley Signs Act.
Earlier. Gov. Gen. Donal Buckley
aigned the constitutional act abolish
ing his office in the Saorstat.
The parliamentary galleries were
crowded to capacity as the session
opened.
The Free State President restated
his contention that abolition of the use
of the King's name in the conduct of
the dominion's domestic affairs only
recognized the existing fact.
“As long as the King Is the symbol
of the Empire and is recognized as
such, he will be recognized by the Free
State,” De Valera said.
Labor Leader Objects.
The President's statement drew ob
jections from William Norton, labor
leader.
"Up to the present the Free State
has had the King imposed upon them,
but now we are going out of our way
to proclaim a king by an act of the
Dail." Norton said.
“The historic asperalions of the
Irish people should have been suffi
cient to prevent that step."

thorities. usually Informed when a
member of the royal family visits the
port, were not told Edward was coming.
More than 500,000,000 were esti
mated to have listened to Edward's
farewell address. The broadcast and
the departure climaxed a dramatic
day.
Early in the afternoon Parliament
passed a law' legalizing his departure
and the accession of his brother.
Queen Mary, his widowed mother.
Issued a prayerful plea that he be re
membered gratefully and full loyalty
be pledged to his successor.
The royal family dined together for
a round of farewells at Windsor Castle,
the scene of the radio good-by.
"God bless you all! God save the
King!"
Thus Edward, his voire husky, con
cluded his historic broadcast as his
mother stood beside him at the micro
phone.
"You must believe me," he said,
“when I tell you that I have found it
Impossible to carry the heavy burden
of responsibility and to discharge my
duties as King as I would wish to do
without the help and support of the
Woman I love."
His decision to quit throne for life
With Mrs. Simpson was "mine and mine j
alone.” he added, for:
"This was a thing I had to judge
entirely for myself.
"The other person most nearly con
cerned has tried up to the last to j
persuade me to take a different course."
Voice Breaks Only Onee.
His voice broke only once during the
address.
This was when he referred to the
sympathetic comfort of "my mother
and my family." He spoke firmly and
calmly while paying tribute to the atti
tude of Premier Stanley Baldwin and
pledging allegiance to his brother,
George VI, the next wearer of the
crown.
“I now quit altogether public affairs,
and I lay down my burden," said the
former king after revealing with a
touch of sadness that his life had been
•mpty In one respect.
"He (George VI) has one blessing.”
declared Edward, "enjoyed by so many
of you and not bestowed on me—a
happy home with his wife and chil
dren.”
He disposed of reports that he never

“It may be some time before I re
turn to my native land, but I shall
always follow the fortunes of the
British race and empire with profound
Interest, and if at any time in the fu
tur* I can be found of service to his
majesty in rf private station, I shall
rot fall.”
Left Castle With Mother.
Edward, dressed in dinner jacket
and looking tired and worn, then left
the castle with his mother, sad-eyed
and weary from the strain of recent
days.
They drove to Fort Belvedere, where
Edward summoned all the staff and
bade them good-bye. Then he left for
Portsmouth.
The headlights of two motor cars
stabbed through the darkness as the
former king arrived. A group of dim
figures alighted from the two machines
and hastened down the dock.
Edward, wearing a heavy coat,
at rode aboard the Fury after port offi
cials welcomed him.
Queen Mary urged the world to
hold for Edward a “grateful remem
brance in your hearts” in a simple
statement disclosing the depths of her
love and her own ordeal In the deci
sion of her eldest bom to quit throne
and country.
“I know you will realise what it
has cost him to come to this deci
sion * • she said.
“I commend to you his brother
summoned so unexpectedly and in
circumstances so painful to take his
place * *
Her own feelings she revealed thus:
“I need not speak of the distress
which fills a mother's heart when I
think that my dear son has deemed
it to be his duty to lay down his
charges and that the reign which had
begun with so much hope and promise
has so suddenly ended.”

Mrs. Simpson’s
Old Home May
Become Museum
Corporation Formed
to Handle Modest
Baltimore House.
BALTIMORE, December 12 (*>).—
The unpretentious Biddle street house
where Wallis Warfield Simpson spent
her childhood has passed into the
control of a corporation and may be
come a museum to attract those in
terested in the woman for whom a
king left his throne.
J. Elmer Weisheit, attorney, dis
closed that his brother and client,
Allen Weisheit, who bought the house
a year ago. had sold it to a merchant,
Samuel J. Schleisner.
Three employes of the law firm of
Weinberg and Sweeten, representatives
of Schleisner. formed the 212 East
Biddle Street Corp. The incorporators
are Miss Catherine Stewart. Miss
Edna M. Steedman and Everett L.
Buckm aster.
Representatives of the owners did
not specify what the Biddle Street
Museum would contain, but they said
it would be converted into a "local
attraction."
The sale of the house dashed the
plans of Bert Nevins of New York,
who h*ad made inquiries as to whether
the house—one of several in a row—
could be transplanted to an amuse
ment park on the Hudson River Pali
sades.
Nevins had said previously, however,
that he also was considering the pur
chase of Mrs. Simpson's birthplace in
the Blue Ridge Mountains, because it
could be moved more easily.

heart that the high and mighty Prince
Albert Frederick Arthur George is now
by the grace of God become our only
and lawful rightful liege lord as
King George VI. to whom we do
acknowledge all faith and Constance
obedience with all hearty and humble
affection.”
Queen Mother Mary, the wife of
one King and the mother of two
others, watched the colorful scene
outside the palace from an upstairs
window in Marlborough House.
The crowd, recognizing the stately,
gray-haired Queen, cheered her heart
ily time after time.
The Dukes of Gloucester and Kent,
brothers of the King, attended the
ceremonies inside.
Among the privy councilors was
J. H. Thomas, former colonial secre
tary. who resigned from the cabinet
several months ago after an investiga
tion of alleged leakages of budget in
formation.
The new King's first official act
after proclamation of his accession
was to receive greetings and expres
sions of loyalty from representatives
of the dominions.
At the conclusion of the Council
meeting King George VI walked down
the grand staircase, out the palace
door and re-entered his car.
He smiled in acknowledgement of
the crowd's cheers as the royal auto
mobile carried him along the mall to
Buckingham Palace.
Ireland not Represented.
The representative of the Irish Free
State, whose Parliament today is de
bating the accession act, was not
among the dominion envoys presented
to the ruler.
King George received the high com
missioners for Canada. Australia. New
Zealand, the Union of South Africa,
India, and Southern Rhodesia.
Each was presented to his majesty
individually and each gave the new
King a message of homage.
In reply King George thanked each
one, asking them to convey his good
wishes to their dominions.
Downtown London was literally jam
med with people at the time of the
public proclamations at St. James',
Charing Cross, Temple Bar and the
royal exchange. All traffic was di
verted from the route of the procla
mation procession.
Just at 3 o’clock, the little princesses,
Elizabeth and Margaret Rose, made
their first public appearance since
their father's accession. With the King
they left their Piccadilly home to
drive down Constitution hill to an
enthusiastic reception.
Tlie King lifted his hat and the
little girls waved happily.
There was a remarkable scene out
side St. James’ just before the procla
mation from the balcony of Friary
Court. Several thousand excited peo
ple burst police cordons and swarmed
over Pall Mall. Mounted police and"
horse guard reinforcements rushed up
to clear the roadway.
Take Oath of Allegiance.
In the House of Commons, mean
while, members were taking the oath
of allegiance to the King—their sec
ond within a year. Each member was
sworn individually.
In the House of Lords, when the
peers likewise assembled to swear
their fealty, it was noted the single
throne under the canopy at the head
of the chamber had been replaced
by two thrones, both covered In red
plush.
London’s crowds, it was estimated,
were twice as great as those which
witnessed Edward's proclamation of
last January.
They surged from Trafalgar square
through Admiralty Arch and Pall
Mall.
Several women were knocked down
In the crush, but none was seriously
injured. The post office on St. James
street was closed and the doors locked
against the throng.
The proclamation was later read at
Charing Cross, Temple Bar and the
Royal Exchange.
The new King sent a personal mes
sage to each of the three fighting
services.
To the navy he pointed out he had
seen service with naval units during
the World War, and his message to
the air force recalled he had served
with the independent squadrons in
Prance in 1918.
SMUGGLER OF 13 BIRDS
LIKENED TO MAGICIAN
Biological Survey Agent Seises
Longshoreman on Ship Ar
riving From Italy.
By the Associated Press.
A tale of a smuggler who would
put many magicians to shame was
told today in the annual report of the
Biological Survey.
The smuggler, a longshoreman,
boarded a steamer as it arrived In
New York City from Italy. A short
time later he went ashore with ”12
canaries, two cardinal birds and one
parakeet concealed in his clothing.”
An agent of the Biological Survey,
on the watch for illegal importation
of foreign birds, nabbed the man.
A
RADIO EDUCATION
TALKS END TODAY
David Sarnoff to Discuss
“Broadcasting in Ameri
can Democracy.”
The first National Conference on
Educational Broadcasting, which at
tracted more than 300 delegates to
Washington from all sections of the
United States and many foreign coun
tries, will bring its conclave to a close
today at the Mayflower Hotel with a
discussion of "Broadcasting in the
American Democracy” by David Sar
noff, president of the Radio Corp. of
America.
Radio in all its ramifications has
been discussed during the three-day
conference with a view to ’ working
out a program designed to improve
the educational value of various types
of broadcasts. The principal com
plaints registered against broadcast
ing concerned "irritating” advertising
on the air. and the failure of radio
to bring about an improvement in the
speech of the Nation.
De Laboulaye Speaks.
The principal social feature of the
conference was a banquet last night
at which French Ambassador de La
boulaye and James Thompson Shot
well of Columbia University touched
on the Influence of radio in the comity
of nations. Undersecretary of Inte
rior West served as toastmaster.
Ambassador de Laboulaye pointed
out that radio has "almost miraculous
possibilities as an Instrument of inter
national peace and better understand
ing among nations.”
Better understanding among na
tions," he declared, "is the wisest and
most secure road toward international
peace. By mutual understanding,
secular hatreds may fade away, new
friendships may be formed and old
ones strengthened. Individuals will
realize that they were not born to fight
against each other in destructive wars,
but to take part, under the rule of
peace, in constructive universal co
operation."
Prof. Shotwell also stressed the part
radio is playing in bringing about
more widespread international under
standing. "As I listened this evening
to the voice of the man who had been
King and Emperor of more than 400,
000.000 people and thought of the
sympathy that went out to him from
the lands over which he had no
rove reign right,” he said, “I thought
that the aovereign right of the human
spirit had been awakened by science.”
Business Technique Forecast.
In years to come. Prof. Shotwell
predicted, radio will develop a business
technique in international diplomacy
to replace the empty formalities of the
present. Already, he said, statesmen
murt be careful of their language in
addressing their constituents for fear
the citizens of a neighboring land
may be listening in.
Prof. Arthur N. Holcombe of Har
vard University, who discussed "Radio
Broadcasting as a New Force in Amer
ican Politics” 8t yesterday afternoon's
general session, deplored the clutter
ing of the air by candidates for minor
offices.
“The radio is too valuable a utility
and the patipnce of the public Is too
limited,” he declared, "to permit can
didates for minor offices to clutter up
the air with their generally trivial
chatter. If the radio is to reach its
maximum usefulness in American pol
itics. among the necessary improve
ments must be included an extension
of the merit system as well as a short
ening of the campaign period.”

CHICAGO GRAIN
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. December 12. — July
wheat rose suddenly more than 2 cents
a bushel today, reversing an earlier
trend in all grain*.
One leading unofficial authority
suggested the United States again
fared a below-normal domestic wheat
yield and a total 1937 crop that was
not likely to exceed much, If at all. the
Nation's domestic requirements. Pre
ceding this development, moat traders
apparently were disposed to take
profits rather than to increase ven
tures. and the wheat market tem
porarily went downhill. An exception,
however, from the outset was July
wheat delivery, representing the 1937
domestic crop. That month soon
scored material gains and then rose
abruptly to $1.11 V up 23a cents over
night.
December wheat contracts dropped
nearly a cent to $ 1.26 V and May also
declined. Operating as a drag on De
cember and May wheat here was the
fact that some transactions at Liver
pool today were down almost a cent,
presumably because of persistent profit
taking.
Stimulating the upturns were dearth
of moisture in domestic crop territory
and predictions of continued lack of
rain over the week end. Uneasiness
prevailed because of indications of
probable heavy abandonment of acre
age because of Winter kill and the
failure of Fall-sown wheat to establish
itself properly before Winter set In.
Rye. corn and oats scored gams also.
Provisions reflected advances of
grains.
Around 11 am. wheat was
higher compared with yesterday's fin
ish (December, 1.283a: May, i.24%),
and corn was r* off to 2% up (De
cember, 1.07 V May, new, 1.03 U).
