Royal Birth Expected
In October
London, June 4-Princess Elizabeth, 22-year- old heiress to the Throne, is expecting a baby in October. The first official indication was given to- night by a Buckingham Palace announcement that she will undertake no further engagements after June.

The position of children born to Princess Eliza- beth is not altered by the fact that she is Heiress Presumptive to the Throne, as the law does not exclude the possibility of the birth of a son to the King.
