THE cables from Europe are

; that is now in its last stages.
What a tale of horror it has
ibeen!

pendent Democratic party (who
Inns apparently made his way to
our lines in central Germany)
adds a dark contribution to the

; eyewitness), were gassed and cre-
mated by the nazis at a murder

'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.

goes always forward and up

bad and over onward toward

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.

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

The Russians have counted

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

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

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. He
wlll.be recorded us one of the na
tion's great leaders and one of
the nation's great presidents."
U. S. Sen. Wayne Morse .R.-
Ore.) "W have all lost a great
leader, who in my Judgment was
devoted to the ideals of democra
cy." U. S. Sen. Guy- Cordon (R.
Ore.) "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. His death nt this par
ticular time,- with victory
so near, Is the more regrettable."
