EDWARD'S INCOME REMAINS QUESTION Believed He Would Have Am- ple Means Without Gov- ernment Pension. BY the Associated Press. LONDON, December 11—The fu- ture income of Edward Windsor was & question mark tonight. ‘Whether the man who gave up the throne of England will accept a pen- sion from the government was one of the abdication details remaining unannounced, but 1t wag -generally taken for granted he would have ample means, from one source or the other. It had been assumed he would re- tain at least part of the half-million- dollar annual income from the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall. But the abdication bill title phrase, “demise of the crown,” seemed to in- dicate this was impossible. The closest historical parallel was when the Stuarts were replaced by Edward’s Hanoverian ancestors, to whom all crown lands were promptly trans- ferred. A reigning King receives £43,000 sterling ($215,000) from Lancaster. Since birth, Edward has got approxi- mately £70,000 ($350,000) annually from Cornwall, always designed for the King's eldest son. Applied Income on Salary. ‘To save the British taxpayer money, Edward, after allotting £25,000 ($125,- 000) to the Duke of York, has applied this private income since his accession against his “salary” as King. The lat- ter is fixed by the civil list and, in Ed- ward's case, totaled £410,000 ($2,050,- 000). Had he married, retaining the throne, there would have been £40,000 ($200,000) more each year. The civil list is paid out in view of the King's surrender of income from other crown lands, which is paid into the treasury. King George re- ceived £470,000 ($2,350,000) and, since his death, the widowed Queen Mary has received £70,000 ($350,000). Little is known of Edward's posses- sions, aside from the duchies and his “EP” Canadian ranch, recently put on the market. King Cuts Expenses. Recently the King moved to cut expenses by reorganizing the farming at his Sandringham estate, which falls in a class midway between such things as the ranch, which patently is Edward’s, and property like Buck- ingham, St. James’ and Windsor Pal- aces, which obviously belongs to the state. Sandringham, as well as Fort Belve- dere and Balmoral, were bought by Edward’s ancestors. To be decided is whether Edward inherited these as the oldest son of his father, or as his successor on the throne. In the latter event he could retain only his strictly personal property— and government aid might be welcome. Britain Had 3 Kings In Year Once Before, Edward V, 12, Slain. BY the Associated Press. LONDON, December 11.—Once before England had three Kings in one year. That was in 1483 when the 13- year-old Prince of Wales, who became the tragic boy King Bd- ward V, ascended the throne after the death of Edward IV. He reigned but two months be- fore he was murdered in the grim Tower of London and his uncle, the Duke of Gloucester, became King. Death ended the reign of George V last January 20. First Edward, who abdicated, and now the Duke of York—the third of the House of Windsor within a year—will oceupy the throne, Roy al Events Bring Princess Short Recess From Studies Impo rtant News Told Little Elizabeth, | Who May Be Ruler of Great British Empire Some Day. By the Associated Press. LONDON, December 11.—“Uncle 's” abdication spelled just a one- brought the 10-year-old dsughter of the new British King and Queen next in line for the throne. Some day she may rule the British Empire as Queen Elizabeth II, but what counts at the moment is: that Queen is even more important than the cholce of & Queen for a King on the theory that a husband has more abllity to lnngence his wife. Every year will be leap year for Elizabeth, since she can follow the example of her great-great-grand- mother, Victoria, and propose to the man she chooses. The first Queen Elizabeth remained hour’s respite from the daily- educas {the Vlrl'ln Queen, the memory. of her tional chores. A person in close touch with the royal household disclosed today the princess’ fair head was bent over her books when her mother, Britain's new Queen, entered her school room and gently told her the important tidings. But because it is not good for little girls to know too much, she was not told she was now a more important personage herself as heir premmptlvl to the throne. Sharp-Witted Girl. If she didn't understand the full significance of what her mother told her, she was shrewd enough to know something of exceeding importance had happened. “Much of the tenseness of the mo- ment was communicated to Princess Elizabeth,” said & witness of the drama, “for she's an astute, sharp- witted little girl, “For days she has been asking ques- tions. Naturally, she was told nothing of the true gravity of events. “But, in driving to and from Wind- sor, she has frequently caught sight of newspaper posters bearing the King’s name. She has plied her attendants with questions regarding what was happening to ‘Uncle David.’” ‘The princess and her young sister, Princess Margaret Rose, were expzacted shortly to be taken to the royal lodge, ‘Windsor. Meanwhile, some far-seeing specu- lators wondered if there might be another royal marriage crisis when the time comes to pick a husband for Princess Elisabeth. ‘There’s the possibility, of course, that the birth of a brother would dis- Pplace the princess as heir presumptive. Otherwise, if Elizabeth is to become Queen, her husband, whether she should marry before or after taking the throne, would be prince consort— not King In the eyes of conservative England the choice of a prince consort for TRUNKS-“%o™ Repairing of Leather Goods G.
