Coronation Planned Despite Death; England Enters Month of Mournina
London—(U.P).The last wish of dowager Queen Mary was that death should not delay the coronation of her grand-daughter, Queen Elizabeth II. A mourning nation today was prepared to heed her command.
Her illness had been described as a "gastric complaint." It was far more serious than that. No official statement was made but it was known that she suffered a severe internal hemorrhage Monday night. One of her attending physicians, Lord Webb-Johnson, is a cancer specialist.
Funeral services probably will be held at St. Paul's cathedral because Westminster Abbey where they might have been held is being prepared for the coronation.
A source close to the earl marshal's office said an announcement would be made shortly that the corporation would be held as scheduled on June 2.
On young Queen Elizabeth fell the heavy royal task of making the final decisions on her grandmother's funeral, just as she had had to do on the death of her father only a little more than a year ago.
The gallant old queen, to whom the responsibilities of royalty always came first, had made known her wishes to her family during the unhappy days in which she slowly grew weaker in her bedroom at Marlborough house. She died at 4:20 p.m. CST yesterday.
The 85-year-old queen who died peacefully in her sleep will be buried alongside her husband, King George V and her son, King George VI, in the family chapel at Windsor castle.
Queen Elizabeth prescribed a onemonth court mourning period, ending April 25. for Queen Mary.
Queen Elizabeth saw her grand-

mother for the last time at 10:46 p.m. yesterday. She arrived with her husband Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and Princess Margaret and spent a half hour at Marlborough house.
Members of the family had been told this was their last visit.
The 58-year-old Duke of Windsor, the old queen's oldest and favorite son, rushed to Marlborough house last night but arrived a few minutes after his mother had died. He had been there twice previously during the day.
Today all Britain mourned. Prime Minister Winston Churchill was to move immediately after prayers in Commons today that the House address its condolences to Queen Elizabeth and then adjourn until Thursday as an expression of profound sorrow and distress.

American Big Guns Blast Communists on Old Baldy
Seoul —(U,P)— American big guns ripped Chinese Communists on Old Baldy early today while weary U.S. infantrymen, stalled in two bloody counterattacks, mustered strength for a third assault.
At midnight (9 a.m. CST) Chinese still held from two-thirds to three-fourths of the west central front peak guarding the Chorwon valley invasion route into South Korea.
Americans called off a 10-hour counterattack yesterday, their second since the battle exploded Monday night, in the face of murderous mortar, artillery and machine gun fire.
American casualties were believed to have been heavy, but there was no immediate official report.
Mai. Gen. Arthur Trudeau, commander of the 7th Division on Old Baldy said the Reds may have attacked the mountain position because they believed the United Nations planned a major offensive.
Gen. Trudeau said the Reds would like to get hold of Old Baldy, but the mountain is not "vital" to American defense of the sector.
With three-quarters of Old Baldy in their possession, the Communists had succeeded temporarily, at least, in gaining control of the key peak guarding the traditional invasion route to South Korea through the Chorwon valley.
Although 8th Army officers said the Reds must control Old Baldy before launching a drive southward, they did not believe the attack signalled a spring offensive.
