Rev. Clement FTanclS Rogers OI Lne Church of England said today. Professor Rogers, former occu- pants of the chair of pastoral theol- ogy and liturgics at Kings College, London, and now on the faculty of the Berkeley Divinity School here. said the church would regard the marriage as impossible on the grounds, Mrs. Simpson is married to another.
 Marriage is an indissoluble rela- tionship which cannot, in the eyes of the church and of the scriptures, be cast aside to make way for new mate," he said. But the church would, he added. recognize a mar riage of a divorced person if such person were innocent"
 Mrs. Simpson is by assumption the innocent party in her recent di- vorce," he said. "As for her first di- vorce I do not know"
 Events suggest, however, that she obtained her second divorce 50 that she might marry the king, Rogers said, and "the King is planning to marry woman who is still another mans wife,"
 "The English people would enjoy seeing their monarch marry a com- moner I think they would en- joy this nnarring an American for sentimental reasons"
 The king Is head of the church only in legal and secular matters, the professor explained.
 "As secular head and son of the church on the secular side the king is amenable to its laws" he said.
 Will Not Break Law London, Dec. 7-(U.P0-King Ed ward VIII will never violate the British constitution, Winston Churchill, the Kings leading cham pion in parliament, said today in proposing 8 toast to his majesty at a luncheon at the Hotel Victoria in honor of Paul Reynaud, member of the French chamber of deputies. In proposing the kings health, Churchill said: Hs
 Nothing would be more improper than for anyone to pretend to speak in the name of His Majesty except his accredited ministers, but having known his majesty since he was a child, can tell you that in pro- posing this toast you may be per- fectly sure that never, in the letter or in spirit. will he be found to act contrary to the British constitution.
 This is moment when the sym- pathies of every man and woman, not only in England but believe throughout the friendly nations of Europe, will go out to the sovereign who is now under the most grievouS stresses, both public and private.
 "This is a toast which will be as- scented to with every cordiality in an Anglo-F French gathering because the King of England fought during the long war in defense of the soil of France"
 Churchill's remarks evoked cheers. King, Mother Quarrel London. Dec. 7--(U.P0-King Ed- ward and Queen Mary quarrelled angrily during @ secret conference Saturday afternoon, it was under stood today.
 The queen absented herself from Marlborough house for three hours, and saw the king at some place not known. it was learned.
 It was reported that the queen pleaded with the king in memory of his father King George V to think of his duty. and that the king, re- jecting all appeals, insisted on his right to do as he chose. Circles close to the court des- cribed the meeting as very sad. They said that the king looked hag- gard. his eyes glared, and that the queen was astonished at the change in him. She. it was said, had aged visibly from strain.
