Sweden's New King Long Used to Royal Role
BY the Associated Press

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Oct. 30.
-Gustaf vi, who was sworn in
as Sweden's new King today, came
to the throne fully prepared to
assume the duties of his high Of
flee.
Because of the long life of his
father, King Gustaf v, whose
royal tasks he shared, the new
King often took the role of mon
arch in all but name. He acted
as regent and performed many of
the functions of Office during the
old Kings illnesses and absence
from the throne.
In the background. as Gustaf vi
takes over. stands a blond, curly
haired 4-year-old boy-Sweden's
new Crown Prince. The boy sue
ceedS to that title as his grand
father becomes King. He is little
Prince Carl Gustaf. who advanced
one step in the order of success
sion in 1947 when his father,
Prince Gustaf Adolf, the new
Kings eldest son. was killed in
an airplane crash in Copenhagen.
Carl Gustaf's birth, in April,
1946, was greeted with enthusiasm.
His mother, born Prin-
cess Sybilla, had previously been
blessed with four daughters, and
later a fifth girl. Since his IA
theirs untimely death, Carl Gustaf
has enjoyed great popularity as a
Prince Charming" The family
lives in Haga Castle on the out
skirts Of Stockholm.
The next in order of succession,
after the little Crown Prince, is
38-year-old bachelor Prince Ber-
til, third son of the new king.
The kings second and fourth
sons, Sigvard and Carl Johan,
both renounced their titles to
marry commoners.
Regency Procedure.
If the new king should die be-
fore Crown Prince Carl Gustaf
attains majority. the constitution
calls upon the Riksdag (parlia-
menD to appoint three to five
guardians. In such a case, Prince
Bertil might be asked to assume
the functions of regent during the
little Crown Princes minority.
The new King will be 68 in a
fortnight. A robust. athletic type,
he is firm believer in temperance,
both tobacco and alco-
hol.
He was an outstanding athlete
in his younger days but has not
continued strenuous sports &C
tivitieS as did his father, who
played tennis at 88 and was still
a hunter at 81. The new king is
fond of hiking, a traditional pas
time among Swedes. !
In his youth he skied and was
an excellent long distance runner.
In 1915, at the age of 80, he ran
400 meters in IS seconds and
cleared four feet, nine inches in
the high jump. He served for
many years as president of the
Athletic Association of Sweden
and was also president of the
Swedish Skiing Association.
The new King never sought to
on his royal rank during
his military training. He slept on
the ground with other recruits,
marched under the hot sun and
reported for duty on a bicycle
instead of royal limousine.
He brings to the throne a DEM
ocratic nature in a country where
Socialism still respects royalty.
Labor leaders are his friends as

mature consideration. we herewith
confirm under our most gracious
hand and seal that we will observe
and fulfill. so help me God"
Meanwhile. the body of Gustaf
w lay in Drottingholm Palace,
where he died. His democratic
rule had been one of the longest
in Europe and the longest in
Swedish history.
He had suffered from chronic
bronchial catarrh for several years
and took a sudden turn for the
worse Friday.
Country in Mourning.
The death of the monarch
plunged his country into deepest
mourning. Flags were at half
staff. Newspapers were black
bordered. Movie and theater per-
formances were Cancelled. Mourn
ing services were held in all
churches and bells tolled through
out the country.
In few days, the remains will
be placed in the chapel of Stock
holm Palace, where a guard of
honor will parade day and night
by the closed coffin covered with
the ermine mantle Of the dead
king.
His crown and other royal in
sigma will be arrayed around the
coffin. Another bejeweled crown
used at funerals of earlier kings
of the Bernadotte line will be
placed atop the coffin.
On some days, the honor guard
will include the earl marshal of
Sweden, the country's highest
court official and admirals and
generals.
King Gustaf will be buried in
Riddarholm Church, resting place
lof most Swedish kings. He will lie
beside his wife, Queen Victoria,
who died 20 years ago..

ing days since the G. /. dividend
payment started Jan. 16, a total
of more than 5 million checks
amounting to $8S9,769,7 O8 have
been mailed to veterans who hold

distribution is the veterans adj
ministration.
About 9 million more checks are
to be mailed, and the VA has
cautioned veterans not to expect
they will always receive their
checks based on the last three
figures of their serial numbers.
There r so many exceptions to
this rule that a large number of
veterans will not be paid in such
sequence.
1t is expected that most of the
payments will be completed by
June 30 of this year, but the
schedule could be disturbed should
unpaid veterans write to the VA
to make inquiries. They are asked
to be patient, with the assurance
that everything will be done to
get the checks into the mail as
as possible. Dividend
