JACKSON London U.R Queen Eliza beth became today the first female sovereign of Great Brit ain -since Queen Victoria, and the fourth British monarch since 1936. Her ascension to the throne, gave Britain three living queens the new sovereign, her moth er Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary, the late King George Vi s mother. England always has flourish ed under female sovereigns. Queen Elizabeth stopped the Spaniards in the 16th century; Queen Anne was on the throne when Scotland and England were united in 1707; and under Queen Victoria the British em pire was established. There may be some dispute as to whether the new monarch is Queen Elizabeth I or Queen Elizabeth II. The Scots may object if she is called Queen Elizabeth II because Queen Eliz abeth was not the Queen of Scotland. - The first king of both coun tries was James, who was known as James I of England James VI of Scotland. However, there was another precedent in the case of Edward VII and Edward VIII, where their numbers in Scotland would have been Edward I and Edward II. Elizabeth becomes queen when the fortunes of the Brit ish are at a low ebb, in con trast to the day when her illus trious predecessor, Queen . Vic toria, ascended the throne. Then the flag of the British empire and the mark of its influence followed the sun around the world. The new queen has been trained all her life for the job which puts her at the head of a vast empire whose fate may be at stake. In some respects, Elizabeth's life has been like that of an ordinary girl. Once, she was caught with jam on her face, emerging from the kitchen. "Papa" the future king of Britain spanked her. She liked riding and swim ming and outdoor sports. She learned to play the piano and mastered French fluently which endeared her to the French during a visit there a few years ago. Elizabeth was a girl guide, then a ranger. During the war she lived on short rations and worked on trucks as a member of the auxiliary territorial serv ice. . But Elizabeth, never forgot and no one let her forget that she was a member of the royal family, destined someday to be queen. She was still little "Lilibef when old King George V lay dying and sent for her to cheer him up. She was not quite 10 when he died in 1936. 11, became heiress presumptive. Next April the new queen will be 26. When her father became king the family moved to Bucking ham Palace and Elizabeth be gan her training to be queen. Court functionaries taught her the traditions of royalty and how to chat with Indian poten tates and fishwives from Grims by town. Elizbeth's public duties the main function of a sovereign in modern Britain increased as her birthdays passed. She com missioned a battleship, named an American bomber and visit ed northern Ireland. When she was 18 in 1944 she became a member of the council of state, which rules Britain when the king is absent or ill. And the "only man" was Lt. Philip Mountbatten, a dashing young naval officer, descendant of the royal families of Greece and Denmark, a handsome "man of the world." "You're a one-man woman. Margaret is said to have teased her sister. "All the girls love a sailor," Elizabeth replied. Elizabeth was at ease with Philip. He was self-assured, popular, charming and intelli gent and had all the makings of a prince consort. And Eliz abeth was in love with him. In July, 1947, after Elizabeth had returned from a royal tour of South Africa she was on a similar trip today King George and Queen Elizabeth announced their elder daughter's betrothal. On November 20, 1947, Eliz abeth and Philip Prince Philip. Duke of Edinburgh were mar ried at Westminster abbey in what was offically an "auster ity" wedding, but in reality was a dazzling ceremony which thrilled the heart of the roman tic world. Less than a year later No vember 14, 1948 their first child, "Bonny Prince Charles" now heir to the throne of Great Britain was born. In the early years of their marriage Philip went back to sea and Elizabeth went to Malta several times to visit him. Their second child, Princess Ann, was born August 15, 1950. At this time Elizabeth's duties were increasing as her father's health declined and Philip came home to help her. The new queen is attractive she has fine blue eyes, an ex cellent complexion and white even teeth. Her face is deter mined and intelligent. Her con versation is fluent and churm ing. She has a deep interest in government. She reduced her weight about 20 pounds in the past year be cause of a joking remark by her husband according to friends.

There was a long silence in the room when the news of King George's death came crackling over the radio. Then Pvt. Ken neth Knight and Rifleman Thomas Flaherty clinked their coffee cups together, faced the photograph of the princess and drank a toast: "To the Queen!" The news was received here and at other British posts with shocks. Soldiers huddled over heaters in the bitterly cold Korean win ter listened intently to the radio. Runners spread the news to front-line forces. The royal gunners serving in Korea prepared to fire a 101- round salute to the dead king and a 21-gun salute for the new queen. Conversation was all about the late king, his visits to stricken areas during World War II's blitz bombings, and Queen Elizabeth. The soldiers talked about where they were in 1938 when King George's coronation oc curred. Most were in their teens or younger then. "We got a tin of chocolates with a picture of the king and queen on it," said Pvt. John Talboys of Penzance. "We all got blue ribbons," said Flaherty.
