PARLIAMENT IS OPENED TODAY King Edward War n s World Great Britain Rushes Rearmament (Copyright IMS by I’nlted Pres.) London. Nov. 3 (UP)- King Edvard VIII. in the traditional speech from the throne opening parliament warned the world today that Great Britain, while still an apostle of peace, wa* niehing her reaimament program. The bachelor monarch'. speech . ame on the heels of a declaration by Premier Mussol'in of Italy that the new Italian empire was increasing her navy preparatory to enforcing an “armed peace'* in Europe. -The international and domee'icl fibliciee of Britain outlined by the King were secondary in many minds I to an inquisitiveness about another topic. Among men and women, high apd low. in and out of the joint seeeion of bo'h houee* of parliament meeting in the House of Lords, the ouestion on many lips was: "Was ehe there?'' and “Bid you ere her?" The name of Mrs Wallis Warfield | Simpson. Amercian frien 1 of the] King's was superfluous. Reporters asked members of parliament. who asked attendants in-: aide and out. who in turn again .i«ked the press men a circle which Igft the question unanswered. the mystery of the moment. One member of parliament who said he knew the dark-haired Baltimore divorcee by sight, looked for her especially in the distinguished visitors benches and through the hall—but in vain, he said Then there was another who had never seen Mrs. Simpson, who said that a woman who looked like her pictures was dressea in black and occupied the royal box with a grey- ; haired woman companion. Mrs. Simplon had been expected l y some to attend the parliament I ceremony, the King's first official function of this sort since his ascension to the throne.

The vote: Landon 5, Roosevelt 2 reflecting MUlsfield's normal Republican leaning. Whether Millsfield will hold its new honor through the day depended 1: :- iv : feelings of the five registered voters who refused to stay up beyond their normal be! time even in the cause of civic honor. New Hampshire law requires that the polls be kept open until 3pm or until all registered voters who wish to do so have cast their ballots. If the five who were not around when the polls opened in the dining room of a farm house shortly after midnight, demand the right to vote today, the polls will have to be reopened, presumably. to accommodate them. The whole idea was to steal a march on New Ashford. Mass., which, since 1916 has been the first community in the United States to report its votes and has made elaborate preparations to retain its title. Henderson. N.C..

The refrigerating room of an ice plant was the polling place for i voters in the’ eighth precinct at l Muncie, but the plant manager promised the electorate a 'comfortable temperature.” Ballots were dropped into four new boxes at Vincennes polls. The old ballot boxes were impounded in 1934 after a contest of the mayoralty election and the.

DAWN BRINGS FIGHTING IN SPANISH WAR Report Rebel Forces Will Seek To Enter Madrid Wednesday <Copyright 1936. by United Press) Madrid, Nov. 3 (UP) —A report that the Nationalists intended to 1 try to enter Madrid Wednesday sent thousands of workers from ! shops and offices today to work on . the city’s defense lines. The nationalist lines were on a , front whose advance lines were but seven miles from the outskirts of ; the capital at the nearest point. Again the situation in Madrid had ’ made a lightning turn from confidi ence to anxiety. Militiamen who had 1 been ready for a big offensive were waiting in thir trenches just a few miles south of Madrid for a ruthless nationalist attack. Fighting began at dawn today. I It was believed here that the spearhead of the Nationa'iet attack 'in thia decisive battle would be the . Mostoles area, for here the Nation- ; alists would drive eastward to Gei tafe. At Hue critical moment, the govi eminent was busy reorganizing its self, shifting cabinet posts so as i to include syndicalists of the ex- • treme left wing. 1 ; But Madrid had no time for poli'i- ’ cal changes, and concentrated its ’.thought on the Nationalists. Thousi ands of workers took turns through■jou' the night working on the city and thousands more join':ed them this morning. H Officials of the socialist and gynidiealist labor unions ordered al! construction workers to join in the work of erecting forilflcaHons.
