C OFFICIALS MAY SEE WINDSOR WEDDING Duke Said to Have Won Plea to Let Friends Attend. No Honeymoon. BACKGROUNL— Some time ago Duke of Windsor, after some dispute, lost a request that members of the royal family attend his wedding to Mrs. Simp- son June 3. He then requested that some of his friends who hold official posts in the government be permitted to attend. By the Associated Press. MONTS, May 24—The Duke of ‘Windsor was reported today to have won his plea to the British govern- ment that his personal friends be al- lowed to attend his wedding to Mrs. Wallis Warfleld June 3, even though they hold official positions. Quarters close to the abdicated monarch declared the cabinet was ‘“‘disposed” to allow his friends to at- tend, provided it was only “in & pri- vate capacity.” That there should be no misunder- standing as to the government's posi- tion on the marriage of the former King and the woman he was not al- lowed to make his Queen, the permis- sion was said to have been granted on condition civilian clothes were worn. Government officials were said to have been forbidden to wear any decorations while in attendance on their one-time ruler. The group affected by the govern- ment’s decision, sources close to the Chateau de Cande household said, included Sir W. H. M. Selby, British Minister to Austria; Lord Brownlow, gentleman in waiting to the King, and Bir Godfrey Thomas, assistant private secretary to the King. May Go to England in a Year. LONDON, May 24 (#).—Close friends of the Duke of Windsor today de- scribed the abdicated wearer of the heavy crown of the British Empire as having a chance “tc be really happy” for the first time in his life. “And,” they added emphatically, “he intends to make the most of it.” They scoffed at any picture of the duke as a lonely expatriate king out his life by wandering from one con- tinental spa to another. Everything is all set, one source close to the royal family said, for | Summer if you fill your bin NOW w. At today’s low Summer p! ONDAY, MAY 24 1937 former King Edward to lead the kind of life he has always wanted. It was pointed out he has put aside the arduous cares of state; he is as little an official personage as it is pos- sible for a British royalty to become; he s wedding “the woman I love”; he is financially independent. Arrangements have been made, his friends believe, for him to return to England with his duchess, the present Mrs. Warfleld, and live just such a life, perhaps at Fort Belvedere, his favorite royal residence. Won't Return for a Year. ‘The return of the duke and his bride, however, will be delayed for & year or 80 after their wedding at the Chateau de Cande in France June 3. One link of the stirring days of last December will be broken—probably this week-—when Stanley Baldwin re- tires as prime minister. Scrutator, the commentator of the London Sunday Times, in a review of Baldwin's career sald: “History may well say of him that he saved the British monarchy. One may admire the many engaging qualities of Edward VIII and still be convinced that what has happened is best for his own hap- piness and for his country’s welfare. “Had Mr. Baldwin been less firm or'| less tactful, or—in justice let it be added—had Edward VIII fought & political battle for what his indiscreet friends maintained was his right, not only would he have ceased to be & bond of union between the peoples of the empire, but he might have foundered in general unpopularity.” Mrs. Warfield and the duke prac- ticed getting married today and then anounced they had abandoned any plan for a honeymoon cruise. Dr. Charles Mercier, the Mayor of Monts, spent two hours in rehearsal of the man and woman he will marry June 3. He came bustling to the chateau and told his attentive listeners where to stand and how to answer the ques- tions he will ask in French. Abandonment of the cruise was an- nounced by Herman L. Rogers. He gave no reason, but there have been reports the British government has refused to allot a warship for protec- tion of the yacht which Windsor pro- posed to rent for a cruise that would take him around the coast of Spain. Rogers also said there would be no flying honeymoon. Mrs, Warfleld does SENATORS TO PROBE ALLEGHANY CORP. Committee to Seek Relationship Between Company and Its Subsidiaries. By the Assoctated Press.
