They joined in rousing cheers for their new monarch and sang full-throated their anthem: "God Save the Queen." With queenly composure, Eliza beth • stood this morning before the 192 members of her Privy Council in historic old St. James' Palace to take the oath of acces sion. Royalty from all over the world —both ruling and deposed—will be represented at the king's fun eral. President Truman will be represented by Secretary of State Dean Acheson.

IT'S NO USE COLLEGIAN GET 'S HOT WITH CLASSIFIEDS MUNSAN, Korea, Saturday, Feb. 9 (iP) The Allies today agreed in part to a communist proposal for a high-level conference after an armistice but insisted that it be limited to Korean questions. The communists in advancing their proposal Wednesday had proposed that the conference deal with "other problems in Asia" related to the Korean question, which might well include the hot spot of Formosa. The Allies also proposed that the Republic of Kor ea be in cluded in the conference. The communist plan had ignored South Korea. In their reply, the United Na tions command agreed to the first two communist points: 1. Withdrawal of all foreign troops from Korea. 2. Peaceful settlement of the Korean question. But on the third point they proposed "other Korean questions related to peace" in place of "other problems in Asia related to the Korean question." The communists proposed that the conference be held within 90 days after an armistice is signed. The Allied plan simply pro poses "that steps be taken, within a period of three months, to deal with these matters at a higher, level in a political conference for a Korean settlement or by such oth e r political means as they deem appropriate." Before the Allied delegates left for Panmunjom, observers at this advance camp predicted the UN reply would be restricted to rec ommendations on the Korean military situation. As military men, the Allied ne gotiators were not . empowered to talk about anything but the writ ing of an armistice and the mak ing of recommendations to the UN command. The unofficial view Friday night was that the UN team would re ply -favorably on the proposal for a political conference for discus sion of withdrawal of for e i g n trops and settlement of the Ko rean question.
