FATAL ACCIDENT OCCURS NATIONAL ROAD THIS
MORNING
ON
tory today over the friendship of King Edward for Mrs. Wallis Simp-
son.
It was learned on absolutely trustworthy authority that the result may be the king’s abdication or the resignation of the cabinet. The cabinet has “notified” the king, or in technical phrase “advised his majesty,” not to marry Mrs. Simpson. The king thus far has refused to accept the cabinet's advice. At present the situation is dead-
locked.
The cabinet, gravely anxious, met today at historic No. 10 Downing street, where for two centuries the country’s grave problems have been discussed. It was believed that because of the nressure of affairs, including the Spanish problem, another special meeting would be called to discuss and decide the constitutional crisis. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin has threatened, unless the king promises to accept the cabinet's “ad- j vice,’ ’to rush through parliament a bill making it compulsory for any , soverign to obtain the approval of the privy council for his marriage. The king has counter-threatened j to refuse to approve any such bill. The constitutional question is a mort throny one, because of the j probable difficulty of fonuing an- 1 other cabinet in the event that Bald- \ | win resigned. It was learned that an editorial in today’s Times, referring to the possibility that children of the Duke of York, the king’s brother and heir presumptive, might reign was written with deliberate purpose. Present indications are that the method of solution of the crisis will depend largely upon the state of public opinion. Conservative provincial newspapers, aiming to bring the matter into the open, deliberately broke ; away torlay from the self-imposed censorship on which London newspapers had agreed among them-
| selves.
It was said on reliable authority ( that the Archbishop of Canterbury, i whose opposition as head of the church, under the king, to the friendship has been known for weeks, ignored a recent command of the king to visit him at Buckingham
palace.
The same informant said that the printing of the Church of England coronation service is being held tin because the archbishop has withheld
his approval of it.
Another reliable source said that the recent precipitate return to this country of Lord Beavcrhrook, head of the Beavcrhrook newspaper chain was du? to the constitutional crisis. Ecaverbrook arrived at New York und sailed right back. He told newspapers that he was returning because his aasthma, to treat which he went to the United State- 1 , had been improved by the sea voyage. But it was learned that the real reason was ■ris receipt of a wireless message regarding the conflict between the king and his cabinet. On his arrival in London he motored direct to the king’s country home.

TUNE SIXTEEN-TON BOMBER FOR FIRST ARMY SERVICE SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 2. —- The world’s largest bomber a sixteenton “dreadnaught of the air” was groomed today for its inaugural flight, a grueling test in which skilled army flyers will rwmd it through its paces. The huge fighting craft was built here as the first of thirteen such four-engined “flying fortresses” for ,he army. Weather conditions and 'ast minute adjustments delayed the test flight which was set for Tues-
lay.
The bomber, known as YB-17, is one ton heavier and has 1,000 more horse power than its predecessor, the ill fated 229 which fell during tests at Dayton, Ohio, Oct 30, 1935. killing
two men.
Engineers said they believe the r“w aerial battleship may surpass the speed of the 229 which averaged 232 miles an hour on a nonstop flight from here to Dayton without attempt any speed marks. The YB-17 is designed to carry 1000 pounds of higli explosives, deliver it to a target 1.500 miles away and return to its base.' It lias fide machine gun turrets and carries its bombs in the fuselage, dropping them through trap doors It has a wingspro l of 105 feet: is 70 feet long, 15 feet high and has four 1,000 horse power motors. hiuan Rccotrnizes

Assail Garner ■*l)irlalorsli!j>* DEMOCRATS REBEL AT VICE PRESIDENT’S INTERVENTION IN ELECTION OF LEADER WASHINGTON. Dec. 2. (UP) Angry Democrats today accused Vice President John N. Garner of seeking to “dictate” the election of a new house majority leader for the seventy-fifth congress and warned tartly that not even he would be allowed to “trample v.. the dignity” of the chamber over which he once
ruled.

The bombing was so heavy that the entire city was shaken. The windows of the United States embassy. more than a mile from the scene, rattled violently every time a ' omb fell.
