freed as much as possible from tlfe encumbrances of the crown.
 There were other incidents, less spectacular but as significant, by which the king indicated in his tirst and second days of rule that ho wiM be c new type of king.
 Immediately after landing at Lon. don yesterday he assembled ell the advisors and secretaries of his fathers staff and his own, merged them into Q single unit to carry on imperial affairs without c moments interruption, and with Q few words laid out duties for them that kepe all laboring late into the night In the offices Of Buckingham palace.
 Asked Llttle Advice
 He asked little advice, and needed none. He has performed kingly functions for his father for many years, he was c member of the council of state that acted for the late king during Q previous Illness.
 Before he went to the meeting of the privy council, the ofiicials of the city of London, and the lords of the kingdom which approved Q proc- lamation of his accession, he talked informally with the uniformed door, man at St. James palace, had Q word with Q dozen of his secretaries, and breezed out of the ofilces with the stride of . busy man of busi- ness.
 "Now we're getting along with the job," he commented as he left.
 He refused to employ the royal state carriage to ride through tho St. James palace courtyard to the privy council meeting, as custom de. inanded. Instead, he walked brisk ly through the palace corridors and surprised the convention of dignt- taries by entering their chamber al. most unheralded.
 Dignity, Grief, Exhaustion
 There was dignity in his manner, and grief and exhaustion were eyi- dent in his face, but he neglected consistently the niceties of pagean. tries that have made the accessions of English king good theater."
 Two hundred or more lords and officials of the British, empire grect- cd him. He conformed closely to routine while c proclamation Of his accession was read, while the ass sembled peers took the oath of ale legiance, and, in an address in res ply, promising to follow closely his fathers path In quest of happiness and well being for his subjects.
 When the peers filed past ct the ceremonys end and knelt, one by one, to kiss his hand, he looked more than ct any other time the traditional monarch.
 At 6 p. ri., when the formalities of the day were ended, he plunged immediately into conferences with Lord Wigram, political advisor of the late king, all his fathers secre- taries, and his own private secre- tary, Sir Godfrey Thomas.
 He Rose Early
 This morning he rose ct 7:30. I'm. mediately after breakfast he sent formal messages to tho three de- fensO services--the navy, the army and the air force-ard used for the first time the signature, Edward Rr, the appended letters stand for "Rex, Imperator," king, emperor.
 The king probably will participate in no more ceremony until King George V as buried. He will accoiias pany the body from GandFinehasa to London tomorrow, with other members of the family
 It was understood that the kine would continue to live for tin1e in his bachelor quarters in York house, e wing of st. James' palace. Later he will move to Buckingham where his mother will serve as his hostess.
