Chastisement |
BY. A. D. STEFFERUD ]
ENZESFELD, Austria — (#) —
The lonely Duke of Windsor called
for sedatives today to ease the pain
of torturing head and ear aches. |
Baron Eugene De Rothschild, hig
host, sent a chauffeur posthaste to
nearby Baden for medicine to re
lieve the former British king. i
“The Duke of Windsor is indis- |
posed and is still abed,” a sex‘vantl
told questioners at the door of thel
chateau. |
Detectives, police and estate
guards maintained close watch on|
all entrances to prevent distrac-x
tions which might increase t.hel
British prince’s discomfort, y
Inside, extensive remodeling of
one suite was progressing. The
dark wallg were being redecorated
in yellow, blue and gold. One at- |
tendant hinted the refurnishingl
might be in preparation for a pros-i{
pective visit by Mrs. Wallis Simp-|
}son, for love, of whom the Duke‘
relinquished his throne. b
A’ pile of packages filled the vill
lage post office addressed to Wind
sor, Among them were two sam
ples of coffee, a large parcel. from
Cannes, where Mrs. Simpson is|
staying, and a skiing outfit from|
Vienna .

VIIL
Indications were the matter would
reach the floor vz the house of
commong Thursday.
The latest repercussion of the
abdication of Edward sprang up tc
embarrass an officialdom striving
to smooth the path for George Vl,
his successor.
The archbishop, spiritual leader
of the empire, in a broad¢ast Sun
day sternly lectured the formex
ruler for his desire to marry Mrs.
Wallis Warfield Simpson in viela
tion of the “Christian principles of
marriage.”
Scornfully the head of the Church
of England placed part of the
blame for the king's conduct at
the feet of Edward’s social friends,
“whose standards and ways of life
are alien to all the best interests
of hig people.”
