VIENNA, Dec. II U.N.S0
Marie, Queen Mother of Rumania
whose own son once forsook a
throne for love, planned today to
brighten the Duke of Windsor'S
Christmas by making him the cen
ter of a gay party that may bring
together the eX-king and his
youngest brother.
Expressing her full admiration
for Che Duke of WindSor'S car
riage and dignity in handling the
extremely difficult situation. Marie
wrote him a letter, it was learned,
inviting him to spend the Yule
season at her daughters castle,
Sonnberg, near Vienna.
Queen Mother Marie is also in
'viting the Duke of Kent, Edwards
brother, and the Duchess; Prince
Paul, head Of the Jugoslavian re
gency council and Princess Olga,
his wife and sister of the Duchess
Of Kent.
Sonnberg, only 20 minutes from
the Duke of WindSor'S retreat at
Castle Enzesfeld, is the home of
the former Princess Ileana of Ru-
mania, who married Archduke An
ton of Hapsburg.
It is thought possible that Wind
sor might accept, although this far
he has shown the greatest reluc-
tance to leave Enzesfeld for more
than few hours.
Marie arrives at Sonnberg next
week.
Seventy-six Central European
castles and villas have been offered
to Windsor for sale, it was learned
but the Duke told his host, Baron
Eugene de Rothschild, that he
prefers Enzesfeld, because he likes
the privacy there-and the golf
course.
Fine, warm weather again
tempted the Duke outdoors today,
and he played another round of
golf.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec.
II GNS0.-Search by air, held
up for 48 hours by fog and snow
storm, was launched today in an
effort to locate the luxury Los
Angeles-to-Salt Lake Western Air
Express liner missing since early
Tuesday with seven persons
aboard.
Augmenting the hunt by corps
of men combing the rugged ter
rain south of here. a United Air
Lines plane, piloted by Frank
Chrisman anc carrying several
officials of the company, took off
from the airport here at 9 a. m.
Army to Aid Hunt
Chrisman said he intended to
fly over the Pleasant Grove
Alpine district, about 80 miles
south of here, where the missing
plane was reported to have been
heard a few minutes before it was
due at Salt Lake Airport.
The airliner was the first of a
squadron of Army and transport
planes to join the search since
heavy fog and snowstorms early
yesterday blanketed the Salt Lake
area and the slopes of the
Wasatch Mountains grounding all
planes.
Expectations of finding the i'll
fated ship anything but twisted
wreckage its occupants dead or
manned, dwindled as hours passed
without any tangible clue to it's
exact location and with no word
reaching mountain settlements
which might have been near the
supposed crash.

CRITICISM
COMES UP
IN HOUSE
Effort Made to Block
Debate on PreIate's
Radio Attack
By KINGSBURY SMITH

LONDON, Dec. II GN.S0
While an influenza epid e m
spread through the royal family
today, the Duke Of windsor was
reported to have sped a message
to his brother and successor plead
ing with the new King to silence
the Archbishop Of Canterbury and
other persistent critics Of the ex-
ruler.
Baron Brownlow, close friend of
both Mrs. Wallis Simpson and
former King Edward, is on his
way from the Kings retreat, Cas-
tie Enzesfeld, Austria, to London,
according to the Daily Express.
The baron, who dashed from
Mrs. Simpson sanctuary in Cannes
to Enzesfeld just after the arch
bishop commented on Edwards
social circles" was believed to be
on a mission to England connected
with the primate'S broadcast.
Hopes Later to Reply
Besides turning his back on the
Church of England by planning
a civil wedding, the Duke of Wind
sor hopes later to reply to the arch
bishop, but feels that he cannot
now in his present position. Be
cause of that fact, however, he is
said to have asked King George
to use the influence of the crown
to prevent any further unanswer
able criticism.
The house of commons met to
day in cracking tension, with
leaders buzzing about the lobbieS
trying to squelch a move to bring
up the Archbishop's speech in par
lament.
Queen Recovering
Today's order paper called for
debate on the government operated
British Broadcasting Corporation
and Col. Josiah WedgWood, labor
ite, planned to demand of Prime
Minister Stanley Baldwin why the
Archbishop of Canterbury was per
Q mitted to use the British radio
monopoly to cast disparaging com
ments on the former king
friends.
Serio-tragic are developments
in the new rule. Adding to the
