‘Abflication Of

King Edward Ten Years Ago

By JAMES MoCOOK

LONDON. Dec. lO-(CP Cable) -Teii years ago today King Ed- ward VIII gave up lus tihrone in order to “marry the woman I love." But today's anniversary went unremembered by most Lon- donors.

Thousands who had wept as King Edward friade his dramatic farewell speech by radio. thought of him today only as n man for ivhom the British Government liad been unable to 11nd e. job despite his talents and his charm.

The former. Kins-mow Duke of windsor-always nukes it clear when he visits the United King- dom that he desires to serve wherever he can. But the crowds watching his comings and goings are growing smaller and interest ill his atIairs wanes.

The Duke and Duchess now are

{visiting the United States after

spending some time in France.

IIg to the‘Durlng the war the Duke served the city's_as Governor of the Bahamas.

His last headlines here came during s recent visit when jewels owned by his ducihess-the former wnliie Simpson for whom he gave up the crown-disappeared.

Britons reminded of the an- niversary said they remembered their concern about Edward's suc- cessor-his shy, little-known bro- ther George. Now King George VI Is ea much accepted and hon- ored aa any Brttlsi ruler imbi- tory. The slim. handsome. calm mon- arch has largely overcome his former heeltancy in public speak- ing and won the respect of his people by remaining in bomb shattered London throughout the bllts.
