UOINIDON. Feb. 1 -(AP) - The official residence of Queen Elisa- beth II will be Buckingham Pal- ace in the heart of London.

But it is expected that many months will pass before she moves from Clarence House. a few yards down the Mail from the palace.

The death of the King will certainly involve many other changes in personal arrangements of members of the Royal Family. it is regarded as certain. however, that changes will be made slowly and only after exhaustive family .-onsultationg in which 1.319 new

Queen will wield the authority.

Queen Mother Elizabeth. it was believed in court circles. might exchange homes with her sovereign daughter.

The death of her father resolves one household problem for Queen Elizabeth. She had been looking for a country home to replace Windiesham Moor, which she gave up when the Duke of Edinburgh left the country for long naval service in the Mediterranean.

Now four country places become available to the Queen. They are Balmorai. Sandringhnm and Wind- sor Castle, and on the Balmoral estate is Birkhali. which the Queen and the Duke occupied for part of their honeymoon.

The royal lodge at Windsor, still another country house, was al- ways a favorite retreat of the isle King. There he lived simply for brief interludes with his family.

The Queen mother was fond of it too, and she doubtless will ap- preciate going there for week-ends. but. it was emphasized. such de- cisions are sure to be made slowly.

George was a "model and guide to constitutional sovereigns throughout the world today and also to future generations."

He indicated that the King, who died early Wednesday in his sleep at his Sandringham estate alter months of poor health, had a premonition that death was near.

"During these last months." said Churchill, "The King walked with death as if death were I. companion, an acquaintance he recognized and did not fear."

Churchill said that the reigns of British queens have been fam- ous and "some- of the Tgroatast periods in our history have un- folded under their sceptre."

New Duties

LONDON. Feb. '1 -(AP) -Pale but dry-eyed, Queen Elizabeth 11 today took up her lonely duties as sovereign of a people mourning with her the death of her father.

The 25-year-old Queen, chin up. arrived at london Air-port undera leadon sky after a 4.000-mile flight from Kenya Colony, Africa. with her was her husband. the Duke of Edinburgh, who she is expected to proclaim prince consort. v

Prime Minister Churchill bowed deeply in greeting as Britain's new Queen and her royal party stepped from the big four-engined plane.

After speaking briefly to the welcoming party and to the crew of her plane, the sorrowlng Queen was whisked in a motor convoy along police-lined roads to Clar- ence llouse, her London residence, and thence to Buckingham Palace.

Plans For Funeral

There she faced her first grim duty as Queen-to approve plans for the traditional lying-in-state and funeral of her father, King George VI, Friday, Feb. 15. He died unexpectedly in his sleep early Wednesday at his Sandring- ham estate in Norfolk. His body will be taken to London Monday to lie in state Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

With that tragic stroke. Elisa- beth bccame Britain's first reign- ing queen since the golden era of Victoria ended 51 years ago.

The news of her father's death forced her to cut short a five- montii tour of Africa. Ceylon. Australia and New zealand.

Elizabeth will be publicly proclaimed Queen Friday after the red-carpeted balcony of

Friars Hall in l-Ii.aim'ic St.

.1ames's Palace and at three

other traditional places in

London.

She will meet at the palace Fri- day morning with her Privy Coun- cil. and take an oath to uphold the laws of the kingdom and be a. good queen. That ceremony is to be at 10 n. m. (5 a. m. ET).

When these solemn duties are performed. the Queen will drive the 130 miles to Sandringhun to be with her mother. Queen Mother Elizabeth. and her younger sister. Princess Margaret. in seclusion with the remains of the King.

By tradition. a year or more usually elspses between the pro- clamation of a new sovereign and lhe carnation ceremony. By that time, new coins bearing Elizabeth's profile will have been struck. and royal servants will be wearing new monograms "E II. R."-sta.nd- ing for Elizabeth Ii. Regina.

Assumed Full lloaponslbllltiea

Immediately on her return to London, Elizabeth assumed full responsibilities of the monarch Her actual govemlng powers a limited almost to the point of non- existence. but her duties-mostly ceremonial and symbolic-are many.

she will reign over Britain and the Commonwealth more as a symbol than as a monarch. she will open parliament by reading a speech written by officers of the government. She has no voice in the government and must not take political sides.
