Died. His Majesty King Gustaf V of the Swedes, the Goths, and the Wends, 92; at Drottningholm Palace near Stockholm. King Gustaf succeeded to the throne in 1907, held it longer than any other monarch in Sweden's history. He reigned through a gradual revolution which moved Sweden far down the socialistic Middle Way, adjusted with grace and dignity to being a king in an egalitarian democracy. Considered aloof while Crown Prince, he eventually acquired the common touch, became one of the most popular sovereigns in history. But through his genial manner glinted a regal metal that reminded his subjects who was king. Lifelong outdoor man, ardent hunter, he popularized tennis in Sweden as a young man, played it until he was 88. Last January he was unable for the first time in 42 years to deliver his annual address at the opening of Parliament; it was read for him by his son Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf, who this week at 67 became King Gustaf VI. Sweden's new heir apparent: Prince Carl Gustaf, 4, grandson of the new King.
