It is also true that a couple of the legislators nearly balanced the bud get In the fifth race at Plmltco the other day. but failed sensationally by a nose. Outside of these two developments, the stillness In congress has been sufficiently sweeping to cause a major White House problem. The unobserved fact Is the leaden have cleaned up their legislative cal endars of most bills that do not Im pose additional costs on the treas uray, except supreme court packing and government reorganization. Now It Is up to Mr. R. to decide whether he wants to reel In or let out line on the budget, and the leaders will not move until they hear from him directly And specifically on each bill. Note--The supreme court packing drive now lacks any semblance of the drive which Mr. Roosevelt per sonally gave It at first. Some good Judges of opinion ln the senate and house doubt that he could get two additional justices in a vote today. What vim he will put Into It, if any, remains to be seen. Senators have become so accustom ed to sensational turns of events they have even stopped talking now about the sudden turn In the career of the new senator, George Berry of Ten nessee.

King. LONDON, May 12. ( AP) The empire that no night ran darken crown ed and consecrated Its ruler, George.. VI. today In a solemn and beautiful rltfal Peak of the greatest show in thousand years, the Archbishop of Canterbury, venerable, erect, gave to the new king the crown that symbol izes the rule of 500.000,000 souls In almost a quarter of the earth. That was at 13:30 p. m.. within the old grey walls of Westminster Abbey. Edward Hears Broadcast. Across the channel in a Touraine hunting lodge Edward of Windsor, the man whose abdication made George VI. king, listened by the side of Wallls Warfleld to a broadcast of the ritual. Then Just at the peak of solemn abbey consecration, his friends dis closed that he and Mrs. Simpson have delayed their marralge until early June, because the royal family, de siring a public wedding, had disa greed with the British government, which wants a strictly private one. Speaking slowly and clearly, with no hint of impediment the grave-eyed monarch in the abbey accepted the throne of Britain and pledged him self to a Just and honest rule. The two-hour ceremony In the ab bey was climaxed when the 41-year-old sovereign was lifted reverently to the throne. In the sight of 1.500 peers and peeresses, foreign rulers, diplo mats and statesmen from all over the world. Hells Signal Crowning. Outside the abbey, a million or more cheered. Guna In the Tower of London boomed. Church bells peeled to signal that the priceless Jewelled crown of St. Edward had been placed on the 'brow of George VI. Queen Elizabeth, his Scottish -born wife, then was anointed and crowned In a briefer ceremony Immediately following the coronation of the king. There was not a visible flaw In the coronation of the king. At Just half past twelve, (6:30 A. M. E. S. T.) the archbishop amid a solemn hush In the splendor of the abbey scene, lifted the Jewelled sym bol of the British throne, held it with outstretched arms towards the heav ens and placed it gently on the heed of the man who chose to rule In his brother's stead. Throughtout the ceremony, 11-year-old Princess Elizabeth, heiress presumptive to the throne, gravely and Intently watched the impressive ritual which may some day make her Britain's first reigning queen since Victoria. Little Sister Restless. But Elizabeth's little sister, blue eyed Princess Margaret Rose, too young to maintain a lasting decorum, squirmed and wriggled like any six-year-old In Sunday school class. Outside the abbey, in the crush of humanity lining every Inch of space along the six-mlte processional route, more than three score spectators fainted and one youth died. In a fight in Piccadilly Circus In which twenty others were Injured Dull, overcast skies, momentarily I threatening a drizzle, darkened the glitter of Jewels and the gleam of bright-hued uniforms In the corona tion procession. A heavy fog which shrouded the city throughout the night lifted, however, at daybreak. At the climactic moment of the crowning, a fanfare of trumpets, a sudd en -bursting tumult of applause and the swelling cry of "God save the sing!" &:gns!led the event to dense packed hundreds of thousands out side. Echoes Over Empire The dry caught and echoed over the empire's capital, while radio, wireless and trans-Allan tic cables and telephones swept the tidings to mil lions scsttered over the face of the earth, A salute of 62 guns at the Tower of London and 42 guns In St. James's park boomed forth, and In the streets the crowds stood in silence, with heads bared. At the conclusion of the coronation service, the king and queen remain ed In the abbey for luncheon, before leaving at 3:15 p. m. for the long homeward procession to Buckingham palace to receive the acclaim of mil lions. Though slightly smaller than an ticipated, the crowd was nevertheless the greatest known to London. It poured Into the coronation route in a noisy, singing, dancing, shouting cavalcade, engulfing all transportation facilities and turning the streets Into seething ribbons of humanity. Thonand See Parade For tens of thousands, there was the early spectacle of the procession from Buckingham palace to the an cient, grey-walled abbey, with Its sparkling array of mounted troop and the uncrowned king and queen In their golden coach of state. The great bulk of the crowd, how ever, massed along the four-mile re turn procession route to see a 40 minute parade of empire. It was a Joyous, rollicking crowd. imbued with a carnival spirit which ! t the leaden sk;ea could not dampen.! It was a crowd which emerged' and his Scottish Queen Elizabeth from down the proud centuries. ghost-llke out of the night, with thousands sleeping out In Hyde park, on the streets and even In the gut ters, then breakfasting on the curb stones to maintain their points of vantage. By all odds, it was the greatest show on earth. In ritual of solemn beauty, the king and then Elizabeth, his Scot tish queen was recognized, anointed, pledged to rule with mercy and with Justice and consecrated to govern a half-billion persons. Solemn Ritual With sceptre, sword and orb. In rich raiments of church and state, seated in the scarred and ancient oaken coronation chair above the hallowed stone of Sconce, he received the crown on bowed head and heard the Joyous shouts of millions: "God save the king! The resplendent congregation of 7, 500 within the walls that now have seen the crowning of 36 English kings. became a dazzling, living thing. Be Jeweled, vividly uniformed, richly gowned. It moved in solemn homage. The thunder of the throng rolled in from the path of kings six and ene-half miles of gorgeous procession, back to the gates of Buckingham. (Continued on Page Two.) TO VAST RADIO CHAIN LONDON, May 12. J7) King George VI, newly crowned, tonight thanked his empire around the world from Buckingham palace on a vast radio network. His reply to broadcast greetings from the fourth of the world he rules, was: "It la with a very full heart I speak to you tonight. Never before has a newly-crowned king been able to talk to all his peoples In their own homes on the day of his coronation. Never has the ceremony Itself had so wide a significance for the dominions are now free and the people partners with this ancient kingdom. I felt this morning that the whole empire was In very truth gathered within the walls of Westminster abbey. I rejoice that I can now speak to you all wher ever you may be, greeting old friends in distant lands and as I hope new friends In those parts where It has not yet been my good fortune to go." The king spoke very slowly and very deliberately but clearly and ful lv 8ure himself. There was no trace an7 speech Impediment.
