EMPIRE'S MONARCH SIXTY-FOUR JUNE 3 Likely To Spend His Birth- day Confined to His Bed London, June 1--Monday is King George's sixty fourth birthday but he probably will spend it in bed. It was understood today there was little hope he would be able to be up. His room in the Victoria Tower of Windsor Castle, is an exceptionally cheerful one, overlooking a broad walk with beech trees. Many members of the Royal fam- ily are expected to join Queen Mary at the castle in celebration of the occasion even if the anniversary must be spent quietly. Medical disclaimers that King George is so seriously ill that he can- not attend business of state has failed to quiet anxiety in his behalf. It was felt generally his illness of last winter had left him in a greatly weakened condition which would militate against recovery in any new illness. It has been disclosed that delay in announcing His Majesty's new trouble was ocacsioned by his own wish that it not be allowed to dis- turb normal polling activities for the general elections, The Sovereign was confined to his room since Sun- day with an abscess at the old lung scar but there was no public an- nouncement of his indisposition until (Continued on Pages 3) WEATHER Maritime Provinces and Rocky Mountain .
