LONDON, Feb. 8— <U.R>—Elizabeth
was proclaimed Queen of the
calm today and called on God's
Jlp to "discharge worthily this
?avy task thut has been lutd upon
e so early In my life."
The 25-year-old queen, regal In a
ack dress, took the oath of ac-
sslon before n distinguished as-
mblage of lords and statesmen In
storlc St. James palace.
"My heart Is too full to say more
you today than that I shall al-
ays work, as my father did,
iroughoi.it his reign, to uphold
institutional government and to
Ivance the happiness and pros-
rlty of my peoples—spread as they

Short Ceremony
The ceremony took less than 15
lnutes. Then the reading of the
oclamatlon hailing Elizabeth as
ueen of this realm and of all her
her realms and territories" drew
assive crowds to the same historic
indmarks of London where Shake-

ssion of another Queen Elizabeth

More than 3,000 persons stood be-

HOW THE KING'S DEATH CHANGES SUCCESSION-With the death of King Oeorge VI, and the
accession to the throne of his older daughter, Elizabeth, the status of the royal family changes dras-
tically. Threc-year-old Prince Charles, upper left, becomes heir apparent and will eventually succeed
his mother. He does not automatically become Prince of Wales, but must be elected to that title by
the people of Wales. After Prince Charles, his 18-months-old sister, Princess Anne, renter, becomes
heir presumptive, unless Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip should have another son. In that case
the new son would be next in line. Assuming the Incapacity of both Prince Charles and Princess
Anne to ascend the throne and assuming that the king and queen have no other son, the crown passes
to Princess Margaret Rag?, above right, younger daughter of the late King George. Prince Phillip,
the new queen's husband, is now Prince Consort. He cannot succeed to the throne. Queen Elizabeth!
center below, becomes the Queen Mother, the title given to the mother of the reigning monarch. Queen
.lary, right, who was Queen Mother during the reign of King George, now becomes just "Queen
Mary."—iNEA Photos.)

on their hands this afternoon-

through no fault of the Jaycees.
While the organization helped put
up the special lanterns and lights

of another group to take them down.
However, the latter group failed
to show up for the Job, and Jaycees
today took matters Into their own
hands.
High winds, which swept col-
lected waste paper from its storage
space In Memorial stadium in
Adams park, and scattered it about
the park lands, were blamed for
the other task.
A fence has now been constructed
to restrain the paper, and the
organization was out ln force today

Taft Is Hopeful
President Will
Seek Rejection
Senator Plugs For
MacArthur As GOP
Keynote Speaker
WASHINGTON. Feb. 8—(U.R)—
Senator Robert A. Taft hopes that
President Truman will seek re-
election because "I'd rather have
him for an opponent than anyone
else."
Thut makes it mutual. Mr. Tru-
man has olten said that Taft is
his "favorite" candidate for the
GOP nomination.
The Ohio senator "returned the
compliment" last night in an in-
terview ln which he also;

vention.

•'moral victory" in the March 11
New Hampshire primary if he picks
lip as many as four or five of the
14 delegates from General Dwight
t>. Elsenhower, who ls backed by the
state GOP organization.
Promised to cut the military
budget "rapidly" If elected presi-
dent.
Taft said he favors Mr. Truman
for the Democratic nomination
because no other candidate would
bring the issues so sharply into
focus. He defined those issues as
corruption in government, social-
ism. big spending and bankrupt
foreign policy."
The Ohioan voiced confidence
that he will win the GOP nom-
ination, but declined to predict
whether Mr. Truman will actually
be his opponent.
Makes Contribution
The president himself had pre-
viously made his weekly contribu-
tion to the prevailing confusion
about his intentions, by telling his
news conference that he will Just
let the river take its course.
Some political reporters were
about ready to pounce on that
remark as a sure sign that he will
run again, because the natural
course of political events strongly
tends to force the renomination of
an incumbent president.
But Mr. Truman muddied the
waters again by adding, with a
grin, that he sometimes finds it
necessary to pm up a dam or two
to change the river's course.

Follow Truce
PANMUNJOM, Feb. 8 —

and the Communists agreed
today to begin talks tomorrow
on a Red proposal for a high-
level conference to seek peace
in the far east.
The full truce delegations
will assemble at 10 a. m. to-
morrow to take up the Com-
j munist proposal under the
fifth iind final item on the
Korean armistice agenda.
UN headquarters disclosed
today that supreme command-
er General Matthew B. Ridg-
way had made a surprise
visit to the truce camp at
Munsan Wednesday, the same
day the Communist plan was
proposed. Ridgway returned
to Tokyo Thursday.
The Red plan, submitted two
days ago, calls for a UN-Com-
munist political conference within
90 days of a Korean armistice to
discuss the withdrawal of all for-
eign troops in Korea and a gen-
eral far eastern peace settlement.
The Communists indicated they
wish to bring up at the post-armis-
tice conference the future of For-
mosa, Indo-China. Malaya and
Burma as well as of Korea.
Joy Accepts Bid
Vice Admiral C. Turner Joy, head
of the UN armistice delegation, sent
a message to the Reds accepting the
proposal as a basis lor discussion.
He suggested the talks start Satur-
day and the Reds promptly agreed.
Joy is expected to oppose the
Communist suggestion that the
munist government representatives
and five UN delegates on grounds
this would exclude South Korea,
which Ls not a member of the UN.
He also may insist that the con-
ference be confined to the future
of Korea.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8—(UP)—The senate agriculture
committee will “let the blame fall where it may” in its in-
vestigation of shortages of government-owned grain, acting
chairman Clyde R. Hoey said today.
The North Carolina Democrat made the statement after ..........
President Truman and Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. conference be confined to five
Brannan asserted that private warehousemen are solely to Nonh Korean and Chinese com-
blame for the shortages total-
ing upwards of $5 million.
Mr. Truman told his news
conference yesterday that the
grain was stolen by what he
termed those grain fellows.
Hie president exonerated Bran-
nan of any responsibility. The ag-
riculture department stored the
(grain in private warehouses after
buying it under the farm price sup-
port program. It has started court
action against 16 warehousemen ac-
cused of selling the grain, presum-
ably in the expectation of replacing
it later at a lower price.
Subpenas Urged
Brannan urged the senate com
mittee by letter to subpena "wrong-
doers among the warehousemen" so
that the "guilt" may be assigned
where it properly belongs.
Hoey replied that warehousemen,
agriculture department employes
and "anyone else w-ho knows any-
thing about" the situation will be
summoned to testify. He said the
committee "wants to know the
facts."
Kerr Boosted
At Chickasha
CHICKASHA. Feb. 8—(41—The
sixth district Democratic conven-
tion last night unanimously urged
Senator Kerr (Democrat. Okla-
homa) to make himself available as
a presidential candidate If Presi-
dent Truman doesn't run for re-
election.
Pat White of Binger, who pro-
posed the resolution, suggested that
the senator be advised Kerr-for-
President clubs would be organized
throughout the district in the event
he makes the race for the Demo-
cratic nomination.
The resolution was submitted in
lieu of a formal endorsement,
which ls forbidden under party
rules, since county conventions have
already given delegates any desired
Instructions.
Kerr has entered the Nebraska
primary against Senator Kefauver
(Democrat, Tennessee) reportedly
with Truman's blessing. Kerr has
indicated he may make an all-out
bid for the nomination—only if the
president steps aside.
Senator Karl E. Mundt (Repub-
lican. South Dakota i a member of
the agriculture committee, noted
that Mr. Truman also told his news
conference that he does not con-
sider Secretary of the Treasury
John W. Snyder responsible for
corruption in the internal revenue
bureau.

in the Truman administration.

Speedy UMT
Action Seen
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 —(41—
Senator Russell (Democrat, Georg-
ia) said today the vast program of
universal training of 18-year-olds
could get under way this year, pos-
sibly within a lew months.
This would require favorable con-
gressional action on a bill spelling
out details of- the compulsory mili-
tary training.
Russell, who is chairman of the
senate armed services committee,
said he believes the "program could
start now with 18-year-olds, be-
cause few draft boards are taking
men below 20 now."
Chairman James W. Wadsworth
of the national security training
commission agreed.
The commission was set up by
congress last year when it approved
the principle of UMT and asked
the commission to outline details ln
a separate bill now before congress.
City Hospital
Plan Prompts
Council Meet
A special meeting of the city
council will be held at 7:30 p. m.
today in the city hall, to discuss
the mode of operation of a proposed
municipal hospital.
A petition asking a $350,000 bond
election for construction of the hos-
pital was presented the city council
by the El Reno hospital association
at council's regular meeting Mon-
day night.
However, difficulties came up in
calling a special bond issue election,
when the question arose as to
whether the proposed hospital
should be operated as a utility un-
der management of the city man-
ager, or by a special five-man board.
Operation of the hospital by a
board would require an amendment
to the city charter, which provides
that all management, and hiring
of employes, shall be under control
ol the city manager.
Special exceptions are made in
the charter itself for the library
and other boards already in opera-
tion.
City Manager C. A. Bentley said
councilmen tonight will also dis-
cuss the problem of funds for op-
eration of the hospital, which an
