at 1880 am. yesterday. an
nouncing the queen had suffered
a relapse.
Duke of Windsor Called.
Her oldest and dearly loved
son, the Duke of Windsor, had
been summoned urgently by the
doctors for his third call of the
day. He arrived at his mothers
silk-shrouded bed just 9 min
utes after she died.
Forty-five minutes later, gray
and drawn, he left. The duke
had rushed to London from a
Florida vacation two weeks ago.
Earlier yesterday three gen.
erations of the royal family had
called to pay their last respects
in the darkened room filled with
flowers and the mementos of
other years.
The old Queen was barely con-
scious when the granddaughter
she helped train for Britain's
throne, Elizabeth II, stepped
quietly to the bedside. But, she
recognized the young Queen,
turned her face and smiled.
Three of the old Queens six
children survive her-Windsor,
the Princess Royal Mary,
Dowager Countess of Hardwood,
and the Duke of Gloucester
She is survived also by nine
grandchildren and three great
grandchildren.
Widowed Since 1886.
Queen Mary lived to know the
loneliness that comes to the very
old. She was born May 26, 1867.
A widow since the death of
King George v in 1886, she lived
to see the crown pass from her
husband to two sons and a
granddaughter.
Through world crisis and a
series of personal tragedies. she
remained every inch the noble
aristocrat-Sometimes imperious,
yet Softened by a humanity and

Eisenhower Expresses
Sympathy 10 Elizabeth
BY the Associoted Press

President Eisenhower sent his
deep personal sympathy" to
Queen Elizabeth II on the death
of 85-year-old Queen Mary.
The White House said the
President sent the following
message to Winthrop Aldrich,
United States Ambassador to
Britain, for delivery to the Brit
ish+ monarch: -#.n ta
"Please extend to Her Majesty
and to all the members and peo-
pie of the British commonwealth
my deep personal sympathy on
the passing of Queen Mary. .
The hearts of all Americans
go out to Her Majesty tonight
as our prayers are extended to
her. Princess Margaret and the
members of the royal family for
the great personal loss they have
sustained.

at her age, have waited for duti-
full Elizabeth to come to her.
But Mary went to see Elizabeth
and the old Queen curtsied to
the young one.
She wasn't doing homage; she
was, according to her lights, pay
ing the respect due to the reign
ing Queen of England. Mary
was being her own true self. put
ting dynasty ahead of family.
The now Queen grandmother
visited Westminster Hall, where
her sons body lay in state. She
did not attend the funeral be-
cause physicians feared the
strain would have been too much
for her. However. she intently
watched the funeral services on
television.
To private pain was added a
vast care rising from the ordeals
of nations and commonwealths,
the woes of ordinary people
whose welfare she tried in many
ways to assist through two world
wars and a crushing financial de-
preston. Hers was not a life of
cushioned ease Through we'll
over a half century she per-
formed exacting, fatiguing tasks.
She witnessed, in her late
years, social upheaval in her own
country, revolutionary reviSions
in politics and economics which
would have diSmayed Queen Vic
toria and her predecessors.
Yet in the midst of this blood
less revolution, in a postwar at
mosphere of lost illusions, grow
ing cynicism and distrust, Queen
Mary held her place in the
hearts of the people and stood
above the storms.
Throughout her lifetime the
Queen held strictly to a heavy
