MIAMI CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.i AVIATION BLDO, A PURE WHITE MODERN FILTER I fS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF A WIMSfflN 'v i I ingham Palace announced that Captain Townsead had been posted to the British Embassy in Brussels as Air Attache. It was her mother who broke the news to Princess Margaret at Umtali in Southern Rhodesia. And in the space it took to tell, the gay princess lost her smile. A promise had been broken a promise that Town-send would not leave until she returned from Africa. Margaret flew alone to Government House In Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia.

She immediately telephoned her sister and protested. And she phoned Peter Town-send. The Queen cannot be held entirely responsible for what happened. It was the formidable palace organization which moves fast and surely when the occasion warrants. So speedily were the arrangements made that Sir Christopher Warner, the British ambassador in Brussels, was not even sent a courtesy message hoping that he did not object to the appointment.

TAKES TO BED The royal tour progressed. But the Queen Mother traveled alone. For 48 hours Princess Margaret stayed in bed. On the day they were reunited the princess first went to communion. It was a subdued but officially "quite well" princess who hugged her mother and kissed her.

They were both misty-eyed. When the tour was over and the princess returned to England Britons were touched and some were shocked by the news: their favorite princess was in love. Townsend made occasional visits to London sometimes on Air Ministry duty and on other occasions to "isit Princess Margaret at Clarence House, but he did not see her until the expiration of the agreed period of one year. These vis- i i 4 i ,1 WW Still the Queen hesitated. That afternoon Sir Alan asked Sir Winston Churchill to use his Influence with the Queen.

At this meeting with the Queen Sir Winston was in a stronger position than when the matter had been discussed a few months previously. Sir Winston had had informal talks with all the members of his cabinet and he had also discussed the problem with the prime ministers of the commonwealth, who were In London for the coronation and for a commonwealth conference. This is how Sir Winston summarized the situation: The cabinet was unanimously against the marriage. If such a marriage were proposed after Princess Margaret was 25 and free from the control of the Queen, Parliament would be unlikely to agree to it unless the princess renounced her right of succession and that of any heirs of the marriage and also gave up her income under the civil list. SPECIAL ACT All this would require a special act of Parliament and under the provisions of the Statute of Westminster, similar acts of Parliament would have to be passed by the Parliaments of Canada, Australia, New Zeal-and, and South Africa.

Some time earlier, Queen Elizabeth had sought the advice of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Fisher. He said that Christian marriage was indissoluble and that the canon law of the Church of England did not permit the remarriage of divorced persons while the wife or husband of the former marriage was still alive. The Queen, therefore, as the temporal governor of the church could not sanction her sister's marriage to Group Captain Townsend. After talking with the prime minister, the Queen again discussed the problem with the archbishop.

And then she talk- ed with Princess Margaret. As the result of these discussions the situation was speedily crystallized. Princess Margaret made it quite clear, both to the Queen and her mother, that she was deeply in love with Group Captain Townsend and that she had every intention of marrying him. She did accept the proposal that Townsend be given a post abroad for one year. TRIP TO AFRICA At the time of these discussions, preparations were being made for the Queen Mother and the princess to visit Southern Rhodesia in July for the centenary celebration of the birth of Cecil Rhodes.

One concession, however, was made to her. Townsend should not take up his post abroad until she returned from Africa. No restriction had been placed on Peter's communicating with Margaret by letter or telephone.
