In the Day's Hews By FRANK JENKINS THE cables from Europe are busily writing the last chap ters of another war of conquest ; that is now in its last stages. What a tale of horror it has ibeen! ; Dr. Bela Fabian, president of '. the dissolved Hungarian lade- pendent Democratic party (who Inns apparently made his way to our lines in central Germany) adds a dark contribution to the ; final pages. FIVE MILLION JJews, he says (speaking as an ; eyewitness), were gassed and cre- mated by the nazis at a murder - factory In upper' Silesia. - IS this the 20th century? 1 One could easily doubt it We '. might be reading the story of the wars of Genghis Khan and Tarn "erlane, and their monuments of 'human skulls. Or of Attila the Hun, who ' so scourged central ' Europe that for centuries the '. tradition persisted that the grass ; never grew again where the . hoofs of his Mongol ponies trod. ARE we living In. a world that goes always forward and up ward, away from that which Is bad and over onward toward something, that is belter? : Or are we slipping backward Into the gloomy shudows of the jmst? WERE it not for the PERSPEC TIVE OF HISTORY, we might sink easily Into the hope less morass of utter pessimism. But, FORTUNATELY, the pages nf history keep the star of hope shining in the sky. History tells us that after the bright civiliazatlon of Greece and the gloomier but still solid civili zation of Rome had been drowned In the blood and the savagery of Iho Dark Arcs another and far happier civilization arose upon the ruins. Let us cling fast to that PRE CIOUS assurance. We shall need It" In the days lhat are yet to come.. 6 UT enough of moralizing. Let us get on with the story. THE center of the German west ern front hus been shattered, find its north and south flanks laid open to annihilating attacks. The steel-tipped spearhead nf our 9th army is EAST OF BRUNSWICK less than 90 miles from Berlin. As these words are written, its advanced units are reported only 46 miles from the I3be the first possible hope of nny kind of German stand. Ono gathers from the dis patches that the- Elbe may .be reached within a matted of hours. 'TO tho south of the 9th, our 1st . I and. . 3rd . armies' are on the -. loose And going fast. They ore 7 plunging across the Thurlngian - plain toward Leipzig, only 57 J miles away. They have made ad- - vances of up to 40 .MILES in the 5 past 24 hours. At or near Leipzig, it scents Z probable that they may effect a junction with the Russians. They are moving so swift Iv and so - CONFIDENTLY that 'their ar . jnnrcrt spearheads are hy-passitig big and important cities, to be scooped up later by the following ' infantry. ; TKhIS drive acro.v the waist of I Germany is shattering badly " the hope of the nazis to retire into their long-prepared hideout Z in the Austrian and Bavarian mountains. Their hopes are being further KmuMherl hv tlin Pncclins driving Into the Alps from Vien- . tin, and by our allied forces driv- ing northward from Italy. . THE Russians have completed, Z I the encirclement of Vienna , THE WORLD MOURNS By Charles V. Stanton Freedom-loving1 peoples of the world today mourn the death of their champion, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. A symbol of liberty to millions of people, because of his love for the "forgotten man," his sensational career has been tragically interrupted as it approached its climax. The nation is bereft of a great leader; the world has lost the one in whom it had trust to bring freedom from want and from fear. No man in world history has done more to advance ideals of liberty, of social gain, of world peace. He personified to oppressed peoples of the world the freedom that is America. To millions he WAS America, with its liberty for all, its high standards of living, its wealth and its glamour. The tragedy of his death is pot in death itself for he had reached that period in life where physical vigor was waning but, rather, in the fact that it came just as he stood on the threshold of his career's greatest achievement; just as there was spread out before him the pattern of the goal for which he had been striving through unprecedented years as President of the United States. As God said unto Moses: "I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thitlier," when He led His servant upon the mountain top to gaze out over the Promised Land; so the President was called as he worked upon victory and the pattern of world peace to which he had. helped in leading this and other nations of the world. History will mark him as one of the greatest of our presidents. Though vigorously opposed by many people and many factions in his political ideology, his personality and sincerity commanded the respect even of his political enemies. His lpss at this particular time, when his firm, guiding hand was so important to success in the epochal days that lie ahead, leaves us bewildered and uncertain. Tremendous is the burden which falls upon the shoulders of his successor, Harry S. Truman. Untried in the field of administration, our new. president will need the confi dence, support and sympathy of a united nation in the task that lies ahead. The question of his ability for leadership in these crucial hours is upon every heart today. But one who knows him best reports that he entered upon the presidency, "with a determination to call upon the best brains of the country to help guide him through the perils of war, peace negotia tions and reconversion." Our new president rose to national prominence through the Senate. He enjoys the trust and confidence of leaders I in that congressional body. The Senate is the most con servative department of our government today. Doubtless President Truman will seek the help of many of the men witli whom he was associated as a senator. He will probably have as his advisers men of tho calibre of Senator Harry Byrd and Senator Alben Barkley, men in whom the people of . this nation have complete confidence. Our loss has been great indeed. The shock comes not so much from the fact that a great man has died, for the world is filled with death today, but we are bewildered, rather, by the fact that it is the helmsman, the navigator, of our Ship of State, who has been taken in the midst of a great storm. But the craft is sturdy, the other skillful hands to man We can sorrow as a nation bereft of one dearly beloved. But in our sorrow we must realize that a greater responsi bility rests upon each and every one of us to hold to the course that has been charted and to carry on until world justice and lasting peace have been achieved. and are pushing ON BEYOND, westward, up the valley of the Danube headed for a junction with our American armies. An other Russian force is pushing westward, to the north of Vienna, across Czechoslovakia. THE end of the nazis In Vienna seems only a matter of hours. Their suicide garrison there is described as a rag-tag force in cluding schoolboys, pilots and sailors fighting us infantry. The Russians have counted SIX THOUSAND German dead in Vienna In 24 hours. RUMORS, as is to be expected, are flying thick und fast. Hitler has been assassinated, according to one. Another tells of n grave split In the nazl ranks, with the party throwing over Hitler for Illmmler. The British foreign office says there are abundant reports of Hitler dying, Insane or even dead and adds that "any one of them may be true, but most of them probably aren't. The foreign office says It Is operating on the theory that Hit ler Is sliil In control with Illmnv ler 'commanding the nazi defense forces. . ' ' . Elsenhower says: "German re sistance In the west HAS COL LAPSED. - IN the Pacific, MacArthur pro claims complete control ot the Sulu island chain which points at Borneo. Southern Luzon is about liberated, with remaining Jap opposition concentrated !n the mountainous northern part of the bland. THE fighting on Okinawa is tough and bitter. Hills and ridges change hands as many as two und three times. General Hodge, says the Jap artillery Is stronger und more accurate thun any yet encounter ed in the Pacific and adds that storm is abating, and there arel the helm. ' I our troops are as yet through only the outer shell of defenses about four miles deep in front of Nnha.. Britain Sorrows For F.D.R., Friend In Darkest Days LONDON, April 13 (AP) -A solmenly hushed house of com mons adjourned five minutes aft er It- had convened today in re spect to the memory of President Roosevelt. His shoulders bowed and fare pale, Prime Minister Churchill in formed the house of the death of "this great departed statesman and war leader." a "dear and cherished" friend. Britain -king, prime minister and commoner mourned that the president, their friend in the days of darkest dosoair. had been denied almost on the eve of vic tory the triumph of his war lead (lership. The swelling chorus of tribute to the man who helped turn the tide or war by bracing Britain when she stood alone and under German bombs was mingled with widespread curiosity over tin1 per sonality and policy of lYrsldent Truman and expressions oi satis faction over his Intention to carry on administration alms. Lahorlte George Muff, acquaint ed with Truman was quoted In the press as saying, "Truman by name, a true man by nature, and a true friend of this country." "Hi1 was the friend who put ri fles in our bauds, who let the royal navy hoist Ihe while ensign on American dot ru ers," the Evening News commented of Roosevelt. "He had worn himself out In the service of his country and of all the peoples striving for liber ty." said the Star. "Greatest American," said the Evening Standard.

All Russia Mourns Death Of Roosevelt Stalin Leads Nation in Expression of Sorrow . Over Its Great Friend MOSCOW, April 13 'API Premier Stalin led the Russian people today In expressing deep personal grief at the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt and in making plain that the Russian nation desired continued Russian American collaboration along the lines laid down by the late presi dent. 1 All Russia mourned at the loss of a man regarded here as hav ing been the soviet union's great est friend in America. The soviet press printed two column photographs of Rodsevqlt bordered in black, on the front fiages, along with Premier Stai n's condolences to Mrs. Roose velt and his personal note to Pres ident Truman. "' The Moscow radio broadcast an official memorial. Every Russian credited Roose velt with bringing about diplo matic relations with the soviet union, and the speed with which he dispatched aid when Germany attacked Russia while the United States was not yet at war with the reich endeared him to the peo ple ot'this country. That continuation of the presi dent's policy toward Russia and in building a world security or ganization are of highest concern here was evidenced by Stalin's as surance to Truman of his desire for continued cooperation. Tho Russians were firmly con vinced by Roosevelt's election to a fourth term that the American people wished close relations with Russia in building peace and se curity after the war and will look for every sign that his program will be continued without inter ruption. Entire Nation Shocked Stalin and other soviet leaders were reported profundly shock ed bv Roosevelt's sudden death. Foreign Minister Molotov made a special irlp to convey personal condolences to American Ambas sador Harriman. In a message to Secretary of State Stcttlnus, Mo lotov stre.ised his personal grief and added: "It Is not only a tre mendous loss for the United States but for air the united na tions. The soviet people know full well his undivided attention-to the interests of future peace." . Throughout the city today there were scenes that demonstrated the affection of the Russians for Roosevelt. In subways riding to work people sat sadly shaking their heads and saying: "What a pity. What a pity." They were plain people who talked with tears in their eyes.1 . ' - i The soviet union unquestion ably has never been so affected by the death of a foreign states man. At no time has any leader of a foreign nation been so eulo gized. An atmosphere of mourn ing is everywhere evident in the capital today. ; 1 Oregon Leaders Join in Tribute To Pres. Roosevelt (By the Associated Press) Commenting on the death of President Roosevelt, Governor Snell of Oregon declared the cause of a lasting peace lias been dealt a serious blow. "In the pass ing of President Roosevelt, the liberals of America have lost a great friend and benefactor.

"No man of this genera tion In the world has more pro foundly affected the course of his tory than President 'Roosevelt, and his passing will have reper cussions that no man can now appraise." Repi Lowell Stockman IR.-Ore) --"I'm deeply shocked like ev eryone else to icarn of the death of President Roosevelt. As to Hal' i S. Truman. he has serv ed with great credit In the senate and is familiar wllh governmen tal affairs and national problems and needs und I believe he will rise to the occasion. He has de vrlopcd wonderfully and I think he v. ill be all right." Ralph H. Cake, republican no tional committeeman: "In his long tenure as president, he has Implanted his ideals and beliefs on Ihe business and social life of the nation.
