 Monts, France, May 12-(UP)- The Duke of Windsor lounged in a bathrobe with Mrs. Willis War field today and listened to the cer- emonial elevation of his brother to the throne which he gave up for love. The former King Edward VIII was happy and content. He was with the woman whom he val- ues more than the throne of an em- pire. and he was private person, freed of the burdens of states. Out side it was raining violently. Inside, ill the ancient kitchen of the Castle Cande which has been converted into an American bar, 1t was cosy and the radio was placed beside the leaping flames of a big fireplace.
 AS faithful subject, the duke sent a congratulatory telegram to the brother on whose head was placed the crown which, as Edward VIII, Windsor never really wore. The castle stan refused to reveal its wording, insisting it was of a private nature. Outside, the rain beat down, but the duke was happy and mostly silent, except for an oc- caSional remark to Mrs. Simpson,

BUCK JORDAN S ].
 SOLDBY BOSTON
Cincinnati Reds Buy Him
 Outright Other Teams After Him

Boston, May 12.-(UP)--Sale of First -Baseman Baxter (Buck) Jor- dan to the Cincinnati Reds was an- nounced today by President Bob Quinn of the Boston Bees. It was a straight cash transaction. Jor- dan had lost his regular first base assignment to rookie Elbie Fletcher following his long holdout siege this spring over salary demands. Since the start of the season, he had ap- peared in the lineup only as 8 pinch hitter. Though no price was an- nounced, 1t was learned that the Montreal Royals or the Interna- tional league had made a more att tractive offer than Cincinnati. The Montreal offer was rejected by Quinn, it was said. because Jor- dan would receive less salary with the club than with Cincinnati.
 Gets Same Salary
 Quinn said that the tempera- mental first sacker would receive the same salary with the Reds that he had been getting with the Bees -$8,000. Jordan had held out for $120O0. The Cincinnati offer was made this morning, Quinn revealed. No offers had been made by any other major league club, he said. The Bees asked waivers on Jordan two months ago. Besides Montreal, two other minor league clubs-In- dianapolis of the American Associa- tion and Buffalo of the Interna- toinal league-also bid for Jordan's services.

London, May 12-(UP).-As King George rode away from Westminster Abbey after his coronation today, many of those who watched were thinking and speaking of the Duke of Windsor and Mrs. Wallis War field, whose love affair caused the constitutional crisis that had elevat- ed George to the throne.
 Curbstone onlookers interviewed by the United Press spoke feelingly of the departed Edward.
 T admit would have preferred to see Edward there" one onlooker said. George will be an excellent king. but he will never have Ed wards popularity"
 Mrs. H. B. Bates of Lancashire. with whom I spoke in the cense throng in the Mall, said. "the Duke of Windsore was fine man. don't blame him, although I have little sympathy for Mrs. Simpson (now legally Mrs. Warfield.)
 However, George will carry on admirably, and his wife and children will make him most popular.

 London, May 12. - (UP) = King George and Queen Elizabeth drove in the golden state coach today through unanimously eering crowds to Westminster Abbey for their coronation. The streets were jammed with humanity and the populace gave their majesties an almost unparalleled demonstration of fervent loyalty. The great coach, drawn by eight Windsor greys, was preceded by troops, yeomen of the guard, Royal household officials and high army, navy and air force officers. It rolled down the broad mall, through Admiralty Arch and into Whitehall, center of the gov ernment, where centuries of history have been made. \
 From Whitehall, Elizabeth was carried prisoner to the tower and to it she returned to be queen. In 1649, Charles I was beheaded there. The coach passed the spot.

Culhane of Waterbury was unsuccessful today in the Senate in preventing favor able action on the 1887 liquor control act. He took the floor early this afternoon and said, "I do not believe the. mem bers of the Senate have had time to study the bill or its amend ments. I urge that passage be put over until next Tuesday"
 Senator Raymond J. Devlin of New Haven, majority leader, opposed the Culhane suggestion and stated that tho liquor legislation has been up for discussion for some time and all information on it has been in the files. He said, T do not see where anything will be accomplished by such delay.
 The Culhane motion to delay pas saNe was defeated 34 to 1 and the 19aT edition of the Connecticut liquor laws was passed.
 Its most important change is that which allows men to drink standing at the bar in restaurants, clubs, ho- tels and tayerns. Women are barred from standing at the bars and being served drinks over them in all liquor establishments. save clubs.
 The bill now goes to the house for action.

Sideights Of
 Events Today

London, May 12-(UP)-George VI was crowned 40th sovereign of England today, but he is only the 35th king since William l. The discrepancy is due to the fact that five women have been soyereigns of England since then, namely Jane. who reigned only IA days. Mary, Elizabeth, Anne and Victoria.
 One king, Edward V, actually never reigned. He was one of the two princes murdered in the tower of London, but he is nevertheless included in the records.
 William III ruled jointly with his wife Mary, but only William counts in the record.
 London, May 12-(UP)-Antici- pating the possibility that King George VI might be too tired to- night to broadcast a speech to My Beloved People" his address was recorded by radio stations partici- pating in the broadcast.
