Birthday Salu .. London (AP) - London today cele- brated the King's official birthday. As the King continued a four- week rest, recuperating from influ- enza, Princess Elizabeth mounted her chestnut charger, Winston, to take the salute for the King at the annual trooping of the colors by the brigade of guards. President Truman's daughter Margaret was in the crowd at the colorful ceremony, which began over 200 years ago as a sobering up exercise for royal troops. The King's 55th birthday actually was last Dec, 14. But his anniver- sary is always celebrated in June, so that the ceremony will have a reasonable expectancy of favorable weather. This year. however, Princess Elizabeth's scarlet tunic and long, dark blue skirt outshome the dry but grey skies. To mark the occasion, the King in his annual birthday honors list bestowed three baronies, a baron- letcy, 29 knighthoods and various | te Taken By Elizabeth for King appointments to minor orders.
