By the Associated Press.
MONTS, France, May 12.-The Duke
Df Windsor and Wallis Warfield will
postpone their wedding until early
June, friends said today, because Of
certain differences between the royal
family and the British government
The disclosure came while the duke
sat before radio listening to brother
King Georges coronation, the corona
ton that would have been his own but
for his abdication to permit his mar
riage to Wallis Warf1eld.
A special radio installed in the
writing room Of the dukes suite in
the Chateau De Cande brought the
coronation broadcast to the duke and
Mrs. Warheld.
Edward had the radio installed last
night after cancelling plans to listen
to the broadcast in an ancient hunting
lodge near the chateau.
The dreary, drain-drenched grounds
OF Cande were deserted and only one
policeman was on duty. There were
no spectators. The rain stopped at
noon as the historic ceremonies
reached their climax in London.
Want Fair Treatment"
An associate Of the duke said he
did not know what the exact differ
ences were, but he hinted that King
George and Queen Mother Mary we're
at odds with the government in their
determination that Britain should ac-
cord Edward fair treatment" at the
wedding.
"A number of members of the royal
iamily believe the marriage should be
public" this informant said. The
government insists it should be pri-
vate affair"
George and Marys stand, he added,
WaS that Edward, as a former King
and former Prince of Wales, who
|served his country for many years. is
entitled to great consideration.
King George sent Edward special
request to postpone the wedding until
the differences are settled it was dis
closed.
The request was delivered by plane
by Lord BroWnlow, former attendant
to Edward, and one other Englishman
Sunday
Windsor accepted the request, thereby
delaying the tentative plans for a
wedding soon The Duke and Mrs.
Wallis Warfield still are working over
an invitation list, and it was con-
sidered highly uncertain whether the
Duke OF Kent or other member Of the
royal family would attend
Duke Sleeps Late.
The dukes bride-to-be arose at BIAS
am, and Immediately went to the
kitchen Of the Chateau de Cande to
see how preparations for luncheon
were progressing.
The duke was still sleeping an hour
later as heavy rain fell in the Tou-
raine section. He seemed content as
the almost final scene of the drama
of empire in which he once held the
central role was enacted in London.
Formal announcement of the en-
ragement Of Windsor and Mrs. Wallis
Warfield at their Chateau de Cande
retreat, just before the ceremonial
coronation Of King George vi, gave
an added example of Edwards stead
fast execution of his own fateful de-
cision.
The bestowal of the crown on
George removed the last hindrance to
Windsor's marriage.
Still a loyal member of the royal
family and faithful subject of the
new King. Edward coupled his tele-
phoned wishes for success to George
last night with congratulations to
Queen Elizabeth.
Finally, he spoke for few moments
to Queen Mother Mary.
Edward tonight is expected literally
to see a motion picture of the London
street scenes and the actual corona
ton in the abbey, reported to have
been ordered especially for Windsor.
To Be Rushed by Plane.
The 5000 feet of film-six times
the length of an ordinary news reel
were expected to be rushed to Monts
by airplane as soon as the ceremony
ended.
Rogers said he knew nothing about
the picture, but other sources said
he ordered 1t as a surprise for the
duke.
The emotions and reactions OF the
royal couple were yelled behind orders
to chateau employees and police for
strict secrecy on the private affairs
Of the household during the day.
Edwards announcement OF their en-
gagement, his first view Of Mrs. War;
fields wedding dress and his telephone
calls to London were described as more
important than listening to and seeing
