...established last week that Edward VIII, a few hours before reading his Abdication broadcast, asked his three closest remaining attendants to accompany him to Austria, and they all gave the Duke quiet, steady-eyed refusals.

For Chase & Sanborn other lawyers argued that the broadcast was "humane'' and a "great system of public education."
