satisfy and couvince the young. I They must offer ideals, not piaU-1 tudee.

BROADCAST BY WINDSOR TODAY Duke Os Windsor Scheduled To Broadcast Speech Today London. May & — (UR) — High British broadcasting company ot-' fidala met privately today to de , vide whether to boycott a radio i speech the Duke ot Windsor is to i I make at Vcrduu. France, al 3 p. m. j | ('ST. Britons, particularly thorn* iu - I court circles, were astounded by the disclosure that the former Ed-1 : ward Till was to broadcast a ‘ i speech to the t ailed Blates through the National Broadcasting i company hardly <k houra after hla brother-aucceaaor. King Ueorge Vi. had sailed tor a visit to Canada j aud th<- Vailed State*. .It was at once pointed out that the Duka had made no radio spuei h since his famous "woman 1 love" I broadcast ou the evening of his abdhtion. December 11, IR3B. Court circles suggested that the ‘ Duke was "pulling another boner" I such aa that which caused hint to 1 cancel a projec ted visit to the I I'nlted States In November, IS3T, when it developed that his ''sponsor and advance agent was (Tharlee E. Bedanx, inventor ot an industrial speedup system which has tieen bitterly denounced by labor. So astonished were people connected with coart circles that they i even predicted that he would can-' cel bls plan when he realised, as I they put IL that it might be interpreted as .untimely publicity. "it looks as if the Duke was beginning to act up as soon as the kmg is out of the country," said oue person. Neither the king nor the govern- ‘ ment has any authority to prevent > j the duke making speeches. They | had left II up to him uot to em- • barrasa the* royal family. For that 1 reason court circles expressed contldrti.v that If be did make his spec-, h they hoped he wouldn't—| he would confine himself strictly to non-controversial topics. It «as understcsid that the first* reaction of the British broadcasting company, which is a semi- j governmental corporation, was to, ignore the speech, despite an NBC' . invitation to re-broadcast it in Great Britain. Hut morning newspapers published the short wave lengths ou which the spec-ch will lx broadcast. .-tad it was quite evident that despite any boycott thousands of Bilious would liatea to it. The- first public reaction to the ' announcemeui that the duk<- would apeak was an editorial today In the i Dully Express, chief organ of the ‘ big Beaverbrook newspaper chain.' it said; "The Duke a decision Is to be re* |l greited. The moment of this d s|>eech was unhappily chosen. The 1 king is ou his way to America. 'I Any word spoken to the I'nlted i States at present shonld come from him. It would have been better, - I therefore, for the duk<* to wait." COURTHOUSE Estate Cases A petition to detemilne the In- j hcrltance tex vu filed tn the rotate ; ’■ Grindstaff. Referred to
