December 19, 1938.

Sir O. Mosley is Father Of a 10-lb. Baby Son

WEDDING SECRET

KEPT TWO YEARS SIR Oswald Mosley revealed recently that he was

secretly married just over two years ago to the former Mrs. Bryan Guinness, third daughter of Lord Redesdale and a sister of Miss Unity Mitford, friend of Hitler.

Coupled with his statement was the announcement that "The Hon. Lady Mosley gave birth to a son on Saturday, November 26, last. Both mother and son are doing well."

Lady Mosley's son was born in London and, it is un- derstood, weighed 10lbs, at birth.

No details of the secret marriage ceremony were disclosed in Sir Oswald Mosley's statement, made to "Ac- tion," official newspaper of his British Union of Fascists. Reports were published that Sir Oswald was married in Munich on December 4, 1937. His organisation then issued a statement saying he "has not been in Germany at all for over two years past.”
