Prime Minister, Dies In Sleep In His Home HE FORCED KING ED WARD VIII TO RESIGN WHEN HE INSISTED ON MARRYING WALLY (By 'Vhe Asnocinted Press) LONDON, Dec .15.—Earl Bald- win, who, as Stanley Baldwin, was thrice the prime minister of Great Britain, died in his sleep in his home in Stourport, Wor- chestershire, it was announced yesterday. He was 80 years of age. He and the late Cosmo Gordon Lang forced King Edward VIII, now the Duke of Windsor, to re- sign in December, 1936. ~ King Edward was given the choice of continuing as Great Britain’s king or marrying Wallis Warfield Simpson, twice divorced American, and Baldwin told the House of Commons that the king replied, “I am going to marry Mrs. Simpson, and I am prepared to go.” Being a “true blue” and thor- oughly “English Englishman”, helped the Right Honorable Stan- ley Baldwin attain the personal, popularity and widespread faith in his capabilities which thrice made him prime minister of Great!

The President's Committee on Higher Education, which was ap- pointed last July 28, made a re- port to the White House today that it was found that racial and religious discrimination existed among some colleges in 17 states. It was stated further that money was rated as a standard for entrance in some colleges, and that students, whose parents were in the lower income brack- ets, had little opportunity of en- tering those colleges.

BLAKESLEE AP Science Editor RBANA - CHAMPAIGN, Ill. —A new, sharpshooting! qun for cancer is described by Dr. Lester S. Skaggs, of the Michael Reese Hospital, Chi- cago, now working at the Uni- versity of Illinois on develop- ments of betatrons. This gun, Dr. Skagas says.} will be a betatron of 35,000,000 jelectron-volts and it is expect- ed to be the most fw weapon yet made for fighting Betatrons are electrical ener- gy machines which whirl the minutest’'known particles of matter, electrons, until they are traveling close to the ve: locity of light, which is 186,- 000 miles a second. At those speeds the electrons can be drawn from the betatron in the form of a beam. It is such a beam that Skaggs wants for caneer. Dr] This he says, will exceed anything ever before used for cancer. This beam, while having full effect on destroying the cancer aimed at, will have no effect beyond that point, This is un- like X-rays and radium rays, which keep on going past the cancer, damaging the tissues | beyond. Industry has betatrons of th energy wanted for cancer, but a) Skaggs says no hospital o ch center has one.
