A palace spokesman said the 69-year-old duchess, now in New York with the duke, accepted the invitation to attend the un- veiling of a memorial plaque to Windsor's mother, Queen Mary, who died in 1952. The Queen's invitation is the Royal Family's first official rec- ognition of the American-born duchess since Edward VIII ab- dicated in 1936 to marry the two-time divorcee. The abdication was par- ticularly anguishing to Queen Mary, who pleaded with her son not to give up the throne for Wallis Warfield Simpson. 'IGNORED 31 YEARS Ever since the abdication, the duchess has been ignored offi- cially by Buckingham Palace. The duke, now 72, has taken | part in a number of state func- | tions and has met with his rela- | tives during visits to Britain. In 1965, the Queen met the ! duchess for the first time since the abdication. They talked pri- vately together for 25 minutes at a London clinic where the duke was recovering from eye surgery. Asked where the duchess would stand in the receiving line at the ceremony, one au- thority on court procedure said: TREATED IN FASHION "It is highly unlikely that the duke will be treated in one fashion and the duch in an- other.

England, Wales In Right Swing LONDON (Reuters) -- Eng- land and Wales swung mas- sively to the right in British municipal election results an- nounced today, The Conservative party scored landslide victories . in towns and cities throughout the country, ousting Labor in many of its borough council strong- holds.

The Tories scored a landslide in Liverpool. The Conservatives won 16 seats from the Labor, ending 10 years of Labor con- trol. ets, against the big air base at Bien Hoa, 16 miles northeast of Saigon. U.S. officers speculated that the. attacks on the airfields were in reply to the U.S. raids on MiG Ids near Hanoi which began last month, The two fields hit were Bien Hoa, the largest tactical fighter base in South Vietnam, and an army airstrip at Phuoc Vinh, injuries they sprinted for cover. 25 PLANES DAMAGED The U.S. command said dam- age to the airfields was light to moderate and gave no further breakdown. However, eyewit- nesses reported at least 25 planes damaged at Bien Hoa and more were known to have been shot up at Phuoc Vinh.

Only four or five of the planes hit at Bien Hoa were damaged beyond repair. Most of the planes at the field were in sand- bagged revetments or damage would have been heavier. Most of the damaged aircraft were F-100 Super Sabre Jets and F-102 interceptors. Most were loaded with bombs and rockets when they were hit but did not explode a spokesman said. One propeller-driven A-1 Sky- raider of the South Vietnamese air force burned' completely when its fuel caught fire, but the six 250-pound bombs on its wings did not explode. Among the South Vietnamese planes damaged were several new F-5 Freedom Fighter jets.

PM Silent On Vietnam OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Min- ister Pearson today rejected, temporarily at least, a pro- posal by Opposition Leader Diefenbaker that Parliament be asked to prepare a resolution placing the Canadian viewpoint on the Vietnam war before the world. Mr. Diefenbaker referred in the Commons to "frightening statements" by the United Na- tions secretary general, U Thant, warning that the world is in danger of slithering into another world war. Some action should be taken before it was too late. Mr. Pearson said he shares U Thant's concern. The pros- pects of a prolonged war in Vietnam were obviously fraught with danger. "The Canadian government has been doing everything it could to bring hostilities to an end," he said. The prime minister said the Commons throne speech debate, which has another week to run, would give members a chance to speak about Vietnam. He would reserve a decision on any | formal debate until later.
