“Some Anxiety Inevitable”
(N.Z. Press Aseoeiation—Copyright) (Rec. 12.10 a.m.) LONDON, September 27. A bulletin issued from Buckingham Palace thh morning said: “The King is stronger, his appetite li improving, and progress continues.”
The bulletin was the ninth to be issued since the King underwent an operation for lung resection on Sunday. A bulletin issued last night warned that there would inevitably be a period of some anxiety about the King's condition.
It said: “In connexion with the medical bulletins issued periodically from Buckingham Palace, it should be remembered that while the King’s gradual progress towards recovery has been uninterrupted, and although no complications have arisen so far, there will inevitably be a period of some anxiety for the next week or 10 days.”
The Pope to-day sent a telegram to the Queen expressing his solicitude for the King's condition. He said that he was praying for the King's early recovery from his operation. Tne Commander of the Ist Commonwealth Division in Korea (MajorGeneral A. J. Cassels) has sent a message to the Queen expressing the division’s hopes that the King will soon be restored to health.
