the capture by

Tennessee of a 45-pound chantel bass

It is also true that a couple of the

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

pose additional costs on the treas

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

What vim he will put Into It, if any,
remains to be seen.
Senators have become so accustom

Westminster Scene
Of Greatest Show
In Thousand Years
By Frank H. 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

Outside the abbey, in the crush of
humanity lining every Inch of space
along the six-mlte processional route,

Dull, overcast skies, momentarily I

glitter of Jewels and the gleam of
bright-hued uniforms In the corona

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

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

minute parade of empire.

Solemn Ritual

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

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

ing lodge near the chateau.
An associate of the duke said he
did not know what the exact differ
ences were, but hinted that King

Edward "fair treatment" at the wed
