WALLY'S ROMANCE ELECTS
THREATS BY OLD GUARD
British Public Still Kept in
Ignorance of Their
Friendship
By HARRY L. PERCY
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Nov. 27.--(UP)-
Reported differences between
King Edward and members of the
British cabinet over the bachelor
mOnarch'S romance with Mrs.
Ernest (Wally) Simpson will take
on real thunder" during the
weekend. the news magazine
"Thc Week" said today.
"Muttered and whispcrc d
threats by the old guard as to
what they are prepared to do in
certain eventualities have begun
to reach the printed page" the
magazine said, referring to sub
tie editorials appearing in The
Times and The Daily Telegraph.
Thus far the British public has
been kept in ignorance Of the
friendship between the king and
the American divorcec, except for
rumors. Newspapers consistently
have rcfrained from discussing
the romance.
The editorials in The Times and
Daily Telegraph took round
about course in drawing attention
to the kings personal activities.
They criticized previous edi-
torial in the Daily Mail which
drew contrast between the
kings personal interest in his sub
jects, as evidenced by his visit to
the distressed areas of South
Wales last week and the cabinets
alleged lack of concern about the
plight of the Welsh.
The August Times, which fire.
ouently mirrors British official
opinion. launched the controversy
Tuesday in an editorial stating:
at is right that the kings con.
tribution TO this awakening should
be applauded, but it is a wholly
mischievous suggestion and one
altogether alien to the spirit OF
the constitution which would set
his well known sympathy with dis
trcss against the measures taken
by the government and which by

The Times, pointing out that
the kings ministers are his maj
csty's advisers, said that ito con-
trast his personal and representa-,
tive concern for the well-being OF
a section of his people with the
administrative steps Of his advis'
ors is a constitutionally dangerous
proceeding and would, if contin-
ued, entangle the throne in poll
tics" -.

"Those who would make d WHIP
