A—8 % WINDSOR T0 FIGHT GOVERNMENT FOES Duke Also to Battle to Bol- ster Royal Family’s Po- litical Power. BACKGROUND— Most recent of the Duke of Wind= sor’s requests, that one of his broth- ers be his best man at nis wedding June 3, was denied. The denial, the duke is reported to believe, was dictated by the government. By the Associated Press. PARIS, May 20.—Persons close to the Duke of Windsor reported today the abdicated British monarch was determined to fight back at his critics in England. At the same time, these sources said, former King Edward VIII would do all in his power to bolster the royal family’s position in the govern- ment, The duke was represented as be- lieving certain quarters were trying to reduce the influence of his brother and successor, King George VI. These quarters, the duke was said to feel, were the same ones that caused him to abdicate and go into exile because of their opposition to his marriage with Mrs. Wallis Warfield. Edward, who iost his own fight to keep the arown and marry, intended to do all possible to help his brother hold fast to some of his royal rights, the sources close to him said. By what course of action Windsor planned to accomplish his dual pur- Pose was not disclosed. King Told Not to Send Any One. Close friends of Windsor, victor in & dispute with the British govern- ment over the right of his bride-to-be to have the title of “her royal high- mess,” said they considered the open- ing gun of his fight was fired yesterday from the Chateau de Cande, where he 4s living in voluntary exile. A few hours after the last legal ob- | stacles to his wedding were cleared | away, Windsor's spokesman, Herman | L. Rogers, announced the reason no members of the royal family were coming to the wedding June 8 w: The season’s new- est styles... plenty of whites in all head sizes for tomorrow . . . wear 2t SPECIAL OPE SALE PRICES! | President that “probably the King was advised not to send any one.” ‘Windsor, backed by his brother and Queen Mother Mary, was known to have insisted that his romance be ac- corded the official sanction of the royal family througk the presence of his brother, the Duke of Kent, and their sister Mary, the princess royal. Kent was Windsor's choice for best man at the ceremony. The opposition of the British gov- ernment and some court circles, how- ever, was understood to have over- ridden the present King's desire to honor his predecessor in recognition of his long service to the empire both as Prince of Wales and King. The statement. that Windsor was thwartea because the King was ad- vised not to grant his wish, his fricnds said, could be considered as being di~ rectly from the duke. despite Rogers' statement it was but his own “per- sonal opinion.” British newspaper men at the chateau cross-examined Rogers on how an American could possibly have such an inside knowledge of the af- fairs of the British royal family and suggested to him he was making an indirect statement for the duke. Rogers, who has acted as official spokesman for both the duke and Mrs. Warfleld, avoided a direct reply, asking: “I am entitled to my own opinion, am I not?” “Assured” of Title. Earlier, Rogers had announced the duke's victory over the title to be borne by Mrs. Warfleld with a state- ment she was assured of becoming her royal highness “before noon June 3 The spokesman indicated the Brit- ish government had compromised by | withdrawing objection to her becom-~ | ing “royal,” but at the same time | convincing the King no member of | the royal family should attend the wedding.

With most of her marriage prob-" lems settled, Mrs. Warfleld turned her attention to preparing the Chateau | de Cande for the arrival of wedding guest No. 1—her favorite aunt, Mrs. D. B.

DUKE'S FIGHT “FANTASTIC.” S e LONDON, May 20 (#)—Friends of the Duke of Windsor expressed the fear today that any effort on his part to carry out his reported de- termination to bolster tbe influence of the royal family would backfire, with the gravest possibility of injury to the institution of the monarchy itself. They pointed out that, while the abdicated monarch had probably been embittered by the decision that no members of the royal family would attend his wedding to Mrs. Wallis Warfleld, any suggestion he might head a fight against the advisers of King George’ VI was “fantastic.” Dispatches from Paris reported per- sons close to Windsor said he con- sidered the same quarters that led him to abdicate were now attempting to curtail his brother's influence and that he planned to do all possible to aid George to keep some of his royal rights. Shows Lack of Power. The net result of Edward's abdica- tlon, s0 he might marry Mrs. War- fleld, his friends here said, was to demonstrate beyond question the King of England has no political power. Any move by the self-exiled former King, they added, to increase the per- sonal influence of King George might rebound with disastrous results.

This, they indicated, would make it improbable he could direct any effort to counteract the present influence of the King's advisers. The announcement at the Chateau de Cande in France that Windsor had won his fight to have Mrs. Warfleld become “her royal highness” when she weds him caused more excitement in London soclety than the possibility of an attack by Edward against his critics did in political circles. “Personally, I'm in favor of her,” one peer commented, “but it is going to cause a social revolution around here if they ever return to London to live.” Another comment: “It's going to be slightly awakward if and when they ever return to Eng- land.

MONTS, France, May 20 (#)—A close friend of the Duke of Windsor sald today that he and Wallis War- fleld would be met on their honeymoon by several members of the British royal family. After June 3, when the former will take place there, the informant declared. He did not disclose, however, what members of royalty would be present. The bridal couple, then to be their royal highnesses, the Duke and Duchess of* Windsor, will stay three days at the French shore resort and then sail for Yugoslavian waters by yacht, After a tour of the Dalmatian coast, where Edward as King and Wallis as Mrs. Simpson spent a vacation last Summer, they will go to Wasserleon- burg Castle in Austria. The duke and Wallis Warfield are trying to find an Anglician prel- ate to marry them in a religious cere- mony following the civil ritual of their wedding June 3, their spokesman dis- closed today. Herman L. Rogers, the spokesman, monarch and Mrs, Warfleld are mar- ried, this source said, they will leave the Chateau de Cande immediately by | automobile for Biarritz. | The reunion with Edward's family | MUST FISH =221 LEA & PERRINS SAUCE THE ORIGINAL WORCESTERSHIRE TRADE MARK Estate Sale Sheraton Mahogany Bed Room Suite, complete; Mahogany Dining Room Furniture, Secretaries, Chests, Drawers, Radios, Elednt Refrigerators, ainting, Chinese Art REGISTERED Opiects, Weber Grand Piano, Several Upright Pianos, Glass- ware, China, Bric-a-Brac, Typewriters, Books, Bookcases, Bed Room Suites, Mattresses, Office Furniture, Antique Furniture, Jewelry, etc. At Public Auction At SLOAN’S, 715 13th St. SATURDAY May 22, 1937 At 10 AM From the Ulrich Estate.
