Herbert Hilburn, Plainview pub-

D. A. Bandeen was reelected to

ager and C. M. Frances, Stamford,

The directors voiced opposition
to any increase in the state gross
production tax on crude oil and to
the congressional bill limiting
railroad trains in length and num-
removed the last hindrance to
Windsor's marriage with Mrs.
Warfield.
Still a loyal member of the royal
family and a faithful subject of the
new king, Edward couples his tele-
phoned wishes for success to
George last night with congratula-
tions to Queen Elizabeth.
Finally, he spoke for a few mo-
ments to Queen Mother Mary.
Today, while George received the
acclaim of empire, Edward re-
mained alone with Mrs. Warfield
and their American friends, Mr.
and Mrs. Herman L. Rogers.
Shows Interest in Crown
The Duke showed great interest
in the crown which he once hoped
to retain along with Mrs. War-
field’s- love but gave up when
forced to decide between the two.
Edward presided at the dials of
a radio bringing in all the sounds
of the London coronation. Tonight
he is expected literally to see the
ceremony. A motion picture of the
London street scenes and the ac
sponsors said, was needed to elimi-
nate conflicts in the existing laws.
The House again found progress

The House appopriations com-
mittee worked past midnight com-
pleting the draft of the last big
money bill, that to appropriate
$5,000,000 a year for rural school
aid.
It voted 14 to 1 to place distri-
bution of aid in the hands of the
state board of education instead of
the State Department of Educa-
tion. The Senate had favored leav-
ing the administration with the
department.
Rural School Aid
The House committee bill also
provided aid would be denied to
districts which levied less than a
$1 tax on the $100 valuation, col-
lected less than 70 per cent of
their taxes, or set valuations
lower than those fixed by the
county for state and county pur-
poses.
Governor James V. Allred re-
iterated in the meanwhile, he had
not changed his mind about call-
ing a special session of the Legis-
lature after the adjournment of

He has said there will be a ses-

(AP).—Lieut. R. F. Tyler, com-
mander of the ground crew which
had to flee for safety when the
Hindenburg crashed in flames
with a loss of 35 lives, told a De-
partment of Commerce investigat-
ing board today that the first
burst of fire to appear on the
dirigible’s cover, seemingly came
from an explosion in the dirigible’s
hull.
“I had a very clear view of the
entire ship from an angle,” Tyler
said.* “I saw the flame the moment
it burst into the outer air. The
flame was not so large. I would
say it would cover the area prob-
ably 10 feet by five feet. My‘re-
action would be it was an explo-
sion flame.”

LONDON, May 12 (AP).— The empire that no night
can darken crowned and consecrated its ruler, George VI, and
his Scottish Queen Elizabeth today in a solemn and beautiful
ritual from down the proud centuries.
Peak of the greatest show in a thousand years, the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, venerable, efect, gave to the new* king
the crown that symbolizes the rule of 500,000,000 souls in
almost a quarter of the earth.
That was at 12:30 p. m., within the old grey walls of
Westminster Abbey.
Across the channel in a Touraine hunting lodge-Edward
of Windsor, the: man whose abdication made George VI king,
listened by the side of Wallis Warfield to a broadcast of the
ritual. - i-
Then—just at the peak of solemn abbey consecration, his
friends disclosed that he and Mrs. Simpson have delayed
their marriage until early June, because the royal family, de-
siring a public wedding, has disagreed with the British gov-
ernment, which wants a strictly private one.

FORT WORTH, May 12 (AP).
President Roosevelt rested today
at the home of his son Elliott after
an address at Texas A. & M. Col-
lege In which he defended army
and navy expenditures and op-
posed those who thought of Ameri-
can military training in terms of
“acute pacifism."
. Only an informal barbecue at
Elliott’s estate about 15 miles
from here was on his schedule for
the day before he left for Wash-
ington by special train before
nightfall.
The president, speaking infor-
mally to about 15,000 persons, in-
cluding 3,000 R. O. T. C. cadets,
in the stadium at College Station
late yesterday, declared the
United States, despite an expendi-
