Princess To Marr Says Paper Sydney, Australia U.R) The Sydney Daily Mirror which first reported Princess Margaret uould marry Group Capt. Peter Townsend in June, said today the engagement would be an nounced "toward the end of April." The Mirror, quoting sources which it said were close to Buck ingham palace, said the decision to release the news earlier was the result of favorable public reaction to reports of the ro mance involving the 24-year-old princess and a divorced common' er. The Telegraph noted the ab sence of official recognition that a romance exists but that the "worried equivocal statements of the group captain in Brussels leave no doubt the rumors have substance." The editorial listed three "assumed obstacles" to the mar riage Townsend's divorce, Margaret's right to succession and Townsend's status as a com moner. The Telegraph said public re action in Britain made it plain that the Church of England which forbids the marriage of divorced persons, is "out of step vith public opinion" since Town- send was the innocent party in the divorce. It added that the issue of re nunciation by Margaret of her right to succession has little practical significance since the queen has two healthy children with prior rights. As for the objection that Townsend is a commoner, the Telegraph said, "in the demo cratic climate of the British Commonwealth the fact that Townsend is a commoner does not carry much weight." The newspaper said a grow Ing segment of the public be lieved the happiness of the princess "depends on this mar riage" and "most people here, as in Britain, think that has de cided the matter."
