(Copyright, 1936, by United Press)
LONDON, Oct. 22.—Mrs. Wallis Simpson, expecting a divorce from Ernest A. Simpson within a few days, is firmly opposed to the idea of a marriage with King Edward, close friends said today. It was insisted that Mrs. Simpson opposed the idea of a marriage under existing conditions both from her own viewpoint and that of the King. ¥rom her own standpoint, friends sald, Mrs, Simpson would be too proud to accept any other position, 2s a King's wife than that of queen with full recognition—recognition which, on the basis of present talk, it might be impossible or impracticable to accord her. From the King's position, the friends added, and as a real friend of King Edward, Mrs. Simpson is Froud of his position and of the admiration and liking with which ae is regarded not only in Great Britain and the Empire, but in much of the rest of the world. Hence, they insisted, she would be the last person to consent to anything that might cause embarrassment to his position as King. Mrs. Simpson has dismissed as “foolish” any mention of the possi- «.

Cheering Crowd Crowd of 100, 000 Hails Roosevelt at Hartford.
TEXT, Pages 10, 11
By United Press HARTFORD, Conn. Oct. 22.—A cheering crowd, estimated by some at 100,000, welcomed Président Roosevelt today when he came here and bid for the electoral vote of Connecticut. The crowd packed every inch of
domed state capitol and acclaimed him when he arrived to deliver a speech. ; The President stood on a platform facing the park and waved'to his audience to quiet them. Finally he began: “You are more than friends in Connecticut, for you are my neighbors. No one could fail to be in-
of thousands of men, women and children. . Two-Fold “I am here in a two-fold capacity to talk to your Governor, your state officials and your Senators; to talk about floods and I am also here, I am told, as a candidate for high public office.” Mr. Roosevelt then stressed the need of co-operation between the states themselves and the Federal government in meeting the problems of floods, one of which inundated much of Hartford last spring. “Unless floods are controlled at the source of rivers, your work will be in vain,” he explained. On the platform behind the President sat Gov. Wilbur Cross of Connecticut, Mrs. Roosevelt and Senator William King, Democrat, Utah. The spectators broke into noisy and trequent cheers, especially when . Mr. Roosevelt observed: “It is a happier Connecticut I come back to.” Schools Are Closed Schools here were closed for the day, a fact which contributed to the size of the crowd, of which the lowest estimate was: 75,000. Before his speech, the President held a brief flood control conference with Gov. Cross and other state officials. Nearly a score of persons. fainted in the press of the crowd at Bush-

Addressing teachers in a octal studies forum at Roberts Park M.
