“PALE AND SERIOUS

PHOTOGRAPH OF EX-KING United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph -Copyright VIENNA, December 18. The Duke of Windsor kept his promise to see photographers. He was dressed in a sports coat, and did not wear a hat. He posed for ten minutes, gravely bowed, and said “I think that is enough.” He was pale and serious. All attempts to make him smile failed.

QUEST FOR PRIVACY RESPECTED POLICE ENFORCE SECLUSION United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received December 20, 7.30 p.m.) VIENNA, December 20. The Duke of Windsor, while golfing, is guarded by fifty gendarmes, who seized the cameras of the moviemen, when they attempted to film the Duke, and later returned them. The newspapers publish a photograph of the Duke in plus fours, a green pullover, and a muffler, smoking a pipe and golfing with the Baroness Rothschild, his hostess. Since he first suggested that he would settle in Austria or Hungary, the Duke has been offered sixty-seven castles, so keen is the desire of the nobility to have him as a permanent resident. RECORD OF FAREWELL SPEECH NONE FOR SALE IN ENGLAND United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received December 20, 6.30 p.m.) LONDON, December 18. Although gramophone records of exKing Edward’s farewell speech are selling throughout the United States, none were made in England, where none are on sale. According to “The News Chronicle,” the His Master’s Voice Company, which has usually recorded the Royal messages, approached the authorities when it was known that the ex-King was to broadcast, but permission to record the address was refused because it was considered not “policy to have a record of the departing monarch's farewell permanently reproducible in every home.”

FORECAST OF ASTROLOGY EX-KING TO RETURN IN TEN YEARS United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph —Copyright LONDON, December 18. “The Duke of Windsor, according to the indications of astrology; will return to England within ten years, as leader of the social life of Britain, after which the Church and State will divide,” said Dr. Atherton, at the Conference of the Federation of British Astrologers. “The Duke was born under Aquarius, the rising of which is a sign that he belongs to the order of Melchisedeck. But Aquarius belongs to the people, and therefore the Duke, from birth, is of the people, as distinct from the Crown. I predicted in 1926 that the Prince of Wales would take the name of Windsor.”
