PRINCE OF WALES IS 37 TO-DAY AND IS
 STILL UNWED

London, June 23-(UP)-Thc Prince of Wales observed his 37th birthday to-day, still un- married. From sources close to the royal court, the United Press understands there is growing concern about the princes appar- cnt lack of interest fin marriage. Briefly, the situation Is this: King George Is 68 years old. Partly due to his age and partly to illness he can no longer take tho active interest in affairs of state that he once did. There is considerable opinion that the time is not so very far distant when the British throne will be vacant.
 The question is, will the Prince of Wales become king? It Is we'll known that he Is not very fond of the idea, although all his life has been devoted to the idea that one day he must become a ruler, The British constitution does not provide that the king must marry, but there Is an un' written law that he should do So, if only to carry on the line of succession. A fairly large sec- ton of the public that Is con. yinccd that the prince will never marry and will never become king. With absolutely no official basis for it's theories, it believes that when the time comes the prince will abdicate in favor or his brother, the Duke of York.
