Archbishops' Aftermath. It was chiefly the Church of England which was damaged, in the very fibre of English Christian morality, by the open scandal of King Edward and Mrs. Simpson. Yet there were outcries in the largest London newspapers last week against kicking the Duke of Windsor and his presumptive Duchess now that they are down. The Archbishop of Canterbury who is Primate of All England last week evinced regret that he had had to do so. The Archbishop of York, who is Primate of England, made his attack in the form of a pastoral letter...
...almost. No man she careered is known to have ever said a word not in her praise. Apart from her first husband Commander Earl Winfield Spencer, U. S.

Strangest post-Abdication event was when the Duke, hitherto notorious as Edward of Wales and as King Edward for his chronic absence from church, suddenly drove in on Sunday to the English Church of Vienna. He chatted at the door with U. S. Minister to Austria George Messersmith & wife, invited them to luncheon, but they had a previous engagement. Then, like abdicated Kaiser Wilhelm II who incessantly takes part in divine service at Doom, abdicated King Edward VIII went to the lectern...
...Reds baseball team, WLW is the most powerful radio station in the U. S. (500,000 watts). It soon became a cooperating member of the Mutual net work. On June 1, 1935 M. B. S. began trading sustaining programs with the Canadian Radio Commission, and in September added CKLW (Windsor, Ont.) to the network. Canadian programs gave U. S. listeners variety and CKLW gave M. B. S. a powerful station in the Detroit area...
