Continued on page 5E First Lady of Sweden Is Liberated By John Justin Smith (C) 1973 Chicago Daily News Stockholm Gray clouds hung over this capital as a young man said the words that made him the new king of Sweden. It was a time of sadness because the old king had died Sept.

15. But behind the clouds there is sunshine and behind 27-year-old King Carl XVI Gustaf is his 30- year-old sister Christina, the brown-haired liberated one. "The Swedes talk very little about Christina," a woman said. Nevertheless the word has gotten around. The liberated one is much more than a piece of Swedish pastry, much more than a fairytale princess waiting for some Prince Charming to come claim her.

For one thing, she doesn't need a prince. She has an apparently satisfying.boy friend, a Swedish businessman who is reputed to keep her very happy. Also, marriage to this com- moner seems most unlikely. a i a i Christina of her title of first lady and loss of her right to full royal inheritance. Title She needs that title if she is to do what some folk hope she will do give some direction to the future of her king-brother.

Royalty in Sweden, right now, is on shaky grounds. The old way has been growing weaker generation by generation and a new constitution about to be adopted will make the royal family even less spunky by reducing duties and making the king and his sister full-fledged official taxpayers, So who is to make the new king's life meaningful and useful? Watch out for Christina, the liberated one. She is known to have some strong views about things, including royalty. In very polite language (although she is known to have some a in her vocabulary) Christina told John Herbert, publisher of Scanorma, a magazine distributed by SAS Scandinavian airline, she didn't think too much of the cons i i a change in the monarchy. She pointed out that whatever money the Swedish government gives her family is needed for the constant upkeep of five royal buildings.

(She noted that it took a lot of fuel to heat the high- ceilinged rooms.) And she spoke of the job of being king as you might talk of your job as a plumber or stockbroker or beauty shop operator. A job is a job. She was very firm. Classy Royalty Apparently she thinks as long as the Swedes want a royal family they should have a classy one. Indeed, the Swedish royal family long has had class.

Christina and her king-brother are descended from Bernadotte, one of Napoleon's marshal) and Desiree, Napoleon's first love. It was his class that won the late king. Gustaf VI Adolf, who died this month at 90. the respect and admiration of the Swedish people. His father.

Gustaf also enjoyed a long life. Thus Gustaf VI was 68 three years beyond the usual Swedish retirement age before he became king. He did his job well, cutting all the proper ribbons in the proper way. attending official functions, throwing formal dinners of state. But now as the Swedes walk along the streets of Stockholm and see photos of the newly dead king in shop windows, photos made dramatic by candles and flowers, they don't talk about the neat ribbon cutting and such because it did not mean much.

The people do talk about his class and his intellectuality, which was shown through his long life with scholarly work in the field of archeology. Christina Christina, the liberated one. is something rather special. She's a realist on the list of sometimes spongy-headed people who have been European royalty. NOW.
