Wallis Simpson, fascinating Bal timore-born friend of King Edward VIII of England, win a divorce from her husband, Ernest Aldrich Simpson, at historic Ipswich assizes today. Justice Sir John Anthony Hawke announced a decree nisi after hearing a few minutes of formal testimony. Costs of the case were charged to the defendant Simpson, who did not contest the divorce. The decree will be made absolute within six months. The whole hearing lasted just IT minutes. Mrs. Simpson was on the stand for 14 minutes. She wag questioned carefully by her attorney, Norman Birkett, to bring out the facts of the most celebrated divorce case in the United Kingdom since the stirring days of Henry VIII. She produced three letters, which she handed to the judge. Her evidence alleged that her hus band, a subject of the king, was guilty of misconduct at the hotel De Paris at Bray, near Maidenhead, Berkshire, at the end of July. A bellboy, a waiter and a clerk identified the hotel register to show the alleged misconduct. Mrs. Simpson was' completely at ease on the witness stand. At 2:40 p. m,, a little more them an hour after she had reached the assizes, her automobile roared away from the court precincts. She had left the court room even before Mr. Justice Hawke handed down hi 3 decision. The co-respondent was not named at any time. MERCURY TUMBLES THROUGHOUT EAST Foretaste of Winter Grips Many Sections; Lowest Two Degrees Above New York, Oct. 27.—(AP)—Wintry winds whipping over eastern and New England states sent the mercury tumbling to sub-freezing depths to day, bringing to an abrupt end the balmly temperatures of Indian sum mer. Blasts of near gale force, with ac companying snow flurries and cold rain, brought discomfort to upper At lantic seaboard residents who wit nessed temperature drops of 20 to 32 degrees within ten hours. The weather forecast of generally fair and continued cold offered little hope of moderation before Wednes day. Mount Washington, in New Hamp shire, where an 80-mile-an-hour wind blew, recorded the lowest temperature in the east —two degrees above zero. Scattered points in every eastern state reported snow flurries late yes terday and cold rain fell rather gen erally to usher in the forecasts of winter. PLANE CRASH DUE TO FUEL FAILURES Bureau of Air Commerce Reports on Tragedy at Pittsburgh Sept. 5, Killing Ten Washington, Ocfi. 27 (AP) —The Bureau of Air Commerce said today the crash of a big sight-seeing plane at Pittsburgh September 5, in which ten persons were killed, probably was due to failure of the ship’s fuel sup ply. The flow of gasoline, the bureau said probably was cut off “due to the fuel selector valve being accident ally pushed to the '‘off’ position/’ There was only one survivor of the accident, McDonald, 17-year old Miami high school graduate, and the bureau said she "probably owed her life to the fact that her seat belt was fastened securely.” "Evidence indicates,” the report continued, ‘fThat all three engines ceased functioning at the same time. "This suggests a failure of either the fuel supply or ignition.” Divorce Granted To Mrs. Simpson A divorce was granted in the Ips wich, England, assi.es court today tc Mrs. Ernest Simpson, Baltimore-born intimate friend of King Edward VIII of Great Britain. The decree will bs made absolute in six months, after which time Mrs. Simpson will be free to marry the king, as many think she will do.

Roosevelt Calls Navy Peace Unit President Pays Tri bute as Nation Ob serves 15th Annual Navy Day Occasion Washington, Oct. 27.—(AP)—With President Roosevelt hailing the navy as “an instrument of peace and good will,” the nation’s sea forces today opened their full dressed ships and shore stations to the public in the 15th annual observance of Navy Day. President Roosevelt made the cele bration the occasion for a letter to Secretary Swanson asserting that an efficient navy “adequate in men and material" is entirely compatible with America’s peaceful aims. “Although happily we are on terms of peace and amity with all nations,” the chief executive said, "we cannot close our eyes to the fact that in many parts of the world conditions are disquieting and signs are por tentious." Congratulating the navy on its "splendid efficiency,” he added: “I desire to emphasize the fact that an adequate defensive force is at the same time an instrument of peace and goodwill. We as a people seek no conquest. We have no imperial de signs. We are actuated iby a stern de termination to avoid armed conflict by every honorable means.” 4 Fugitives Seized Near Fayetteville >Faye\tteviHe, Oct. 27.—(AP)—(Paul Edwards, last of four Norfolk, Va., jail breakers sought in this section, was arrested near Godwin today iby county officers and taken to Lumber ton to join his three confederates, all charged with holding up the Western Union office there yesterday. Edwards was found walking north ward along the Atlantic Coast Line railroad after a cold night in the open. He made no resistance, and first reports that he was armed with a machine gun were found false. Meanwhile, in Lumberton, Solicitor T. A. McNeill, announced after a con ference with Norfolk officers that the men would be tried there for the $6.69 hold-up instead of being returned to the Virginia city. The other three men arrested near Eastover after a hot chase yesterday, were booked as Arnold Scott and Clifton Hollowed, of Norfolk, and C .E. Smith of New Bern. The four escaped with one oth er in a jail break at Norfolk Sunday night, and Edwards’ wife, wanted as an accomplice, was captured in Wash ington, N. C., yesterday.

STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Oct. 27.—T0 the beat of my knowledge and belief the Nation al Press club includes only one Com , munist in its membership roll. Nevertheless Earl Browder got a good turnout a few weeks ago, when he was guest-speaker at a club lunch eon. He was interestedly and politely listened to. Also he was courteously, although not wildly, applauded when he had finished—not that his listen ers-in agreed with what he had said, ibut in token of their appreciation of his acceptance of their invitation to him to address them. It makes a Press club member rather proud of his organization’s open-mindedness, in comparison with the attitude of officialdom, and evi dently of the populace generally at Terre Haute, Ind., where the Com munist presidential candidate not on ly was refused a hearing, but was thrown into jail.
