KING'S INCREASING CONFIDENCE
HESITATION IN SPEECH DISAPPEARS. (By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright) " Received Sunday, 9.30 p.m. LONDON, April 24. Unveiling a memorial to his father at Windsor yesterday, the King had to speak in the open air unassisted by a microphone. His Majesty began extremely slowly, but spoke deliberately and with no sign of nervousness. He spoke at much the same pace as Ms father though he appeared slower owing to the younger voice. There were no noticeable hesitations discernible nor uny trace of the disability of speech from which he suffered, when less experienced.
The Kign's broadcast on May 12 will be approximately at 8 p.m. and will last for ten minutes as a climax to the programme of Empire homage. It will be preceded by five Dominion Prime Ministers and the Viceroy of India.
