OREGON The New J I 1 111 I f i " V k : t" . . ' tu Harry S. Truman, elected vice prcsidr:! of ihe United States at the elsclion last fall, who bscamo president of lho United States with the death of Franklin Delano Roosovolt. President Had Remarkable Career Franklin Delano Roosevelt sur - mounted a crippling malady and early political defeat to become picsident of the United States four times and one of the world's most powerful leaders in peace e.nd war. The poor and depression-weary knew him as their provider, the champion of "the forgotten man." But many other Americans re garded him ns a hated Robin Hood who pillaged their fortunes, through taxes and restraints on business, to perpetuate himself in office. His name became a household word all over the earth and during World War II it was a symbol of American might and generosity. Probably no previous adminis trations were so marked as his by political cleavages which cut fre quently across party lines-It :as not unusual for him to be op posed by the more conservative rrembers of his own party while some of the more liberal republi cans were supporting hir... First io Break Precedent Overwhelmingly defeated for vice president in 1820, he even tually became the first president to serve more than two terms. When he ran for his third term, the reaction from his political foes was deafening. The, opposi tion was even more vitriolic when he sought a fourth term. But he sailed into both with thumping majorities. Crippled by infantile paralysis in 1.024, he spurned invalidism, projected his personality into vir tually every aspect of national life, and was the most widely traveled chief executive the coun try ever had. Although he could waik only with assistance, and spent much of his time in a wheel chair, he was one of the most dramatic men ever to enter the White House. He delighted in smashing precedents. He loved to surprise the people by turning up unexpectedly in strange par ts of the world. He thrived on political battles, seeming to en joy them more and more as he j e,irvv oilier. Br fore the 1044 political sea son blossomed fully, the country forgot, for a time at least, about forthcoming political conventions and concentrated on the invasion of France which began on June 0. The president continued to play his game of saying r.eilhitu; vi n after the republicans gave' I!.- i- presidential nomination lo 'i In .lias E. Dewey, governor of i'c w York, late in June. Finally, about a k before the democratic convention in July, Mr. Roosevelt informed Robert E. Hannegan, the national democratic chairman, that he would accent nomination for' a louith teim. but would not run I for office "in the usual partisan, ( 1-oiitie-al sense." i HORSE SALE Friday, April 13th ' SewaJ Head of Extra Sice Hadifie fiorse.4 O JUndy Maikvt for Killer Hum ,10 ' O ivu ncau v W c La Grande Livestock Comm. Cs. v President ' He accepted the Rumination on j July 20 in a r.icio sp:eeh from the United Slates mar ine base at San Diego, telling the nation that while he would not campaign in "the usual souse,' he would "feci free to leport to the people the facts about matters of concern to them and especially to correct any misrepresentations." Then tl-.-o president, always a .treat showman, emphasized his role as wartime -commander in chief by sailing out into the Pacific, and conferring with Gen. Douglas MacAtthur, Adm. Ches ter W. Nimitz and other Pacific war leaders at Pearl Harbor. He cqir.o home via the Aleutian is lands, and a fe minutes after arriving ut Bremerton, Wash., re ported 16 the people by radio, stressing the need for a fence of island bases around Japan tQ'bre 3nt aggression until ihe Jtrp .':pesc proved their ability to live n a neighbor to other nations. Mr. Roosevelt then went back lb Washington and watched Dewey buiid his campaign Dewey made a long swing from the east to the west coasOmd back again, speaking frequently. But the president bided his time. At last, ;on. SeP'- 23 he. opened his cam piiign with an avowedly political speech in which he accused the republicans of irresponsibility, fraud, "callous and brazen" false hoods and an "ostrich" attitude in foreign affairs, Mr. Roosevelt waited until late October, however, to campaign in earnest. Then he made rapid swings thiough New York, Phila elclphia, Chicago and Boston. He stood on iiis re-cord, particularly the war achievements, and on Nov, ? was re-elected by approx imately 25,500.000 popular votes to 22,000,000 for Dewey, His elec toral vote margin was a landslide 432 to !!. Shortly after his re-election the president went to Warm Springs, CJa., for a long rest, reluming io Washington just before Christ inas.

The fleet, possibly the largest yet hurled at Japan from land bases, split over the enemy homeland, with half bombing She Musashina aircraft plant in Nn kajima, a Tokyo suburb. The rest attacked aircraft plants and a power plant at Koriyama.' The B-20's, striking their 15th major blow in the Tokyo area, flew 3,800 miles in the round trip between their Marianas bases and Koriyama. Mustang fighters joined the group from Iwa island, 750 miles south of .Tokyo. A Domei dispatch, recorded by the FCC, reported about 80 American carrier planes raided northern Formosa for two hours today. Formosa lies off the southwestern tip off the Ryi kyus, of which Okinawa is the principal island. Ground Forces Stalled While the aerial campaign was being renewed, American In vasion forces on southern Okin awa remained stalled for tho fourth day by heavy Japanese artillery and mortar fire from de fensive positions four miles north of the capital, Naha. ' Marine forces to the north con tinued advances on Ishikawa peninsula. -Admiral Chester W. Nimilz an nounced that American troops had completed occupation of Tsugen island off southeast Ok inawa, controlling the entrance to Nakagushuku bay. Nimitz disclosed that American casualties in the first nine days of the Okinawa campaign were 432 killed, 2,103 wounded and lu'O missing. The count of Japanese dead through Sundtay was 5,009. In the Philippines, units of the first cavalry division drove 14 miles through disorganized Japa nese resistance to secure a sec ond foothold on the east coast of Luzon, Itce nomination, ' the president left town under cover of heavy secrecy and sped across the world for another meeting with Chur chill and Stalin.

' The occasion of his meeting with Osmena on April 5 was the last time the three wire service reporters accompanying the presi dent saw him' to talk for any length of time, ; He was in gay spirits then and chatted lightly as he sat behind a paper-laden card table, wav ing his long cigaret holder jaunt ily and wisecracking with the reporters. At that time the president had a good suntnn, but his face was unusually drawn and there was svidence of a slight cough. But he did not look or act like a man who was going to die in a week. This morning the president followed his usual routine of handling paper work that had just arrived from Washington. White House Secretary Ste phen T.

On Attive Market NEW YORJt, AprU 12 (UP) Stocks extended their1 advance for the third day today as trad- ing kept; ; to ' the million-share . pace cf the previous efs:on. Evidence ns' to t!.e vciume of ' "loose" money in public hands was seen in the announce ment of Coming Glass Wierks i that -a forthcoming new issue of preferred stock would carry a record low interest rate of 3Va per cent. Some commentators , feel, nsoi-eover, that so far only it trickle of this money has reached ihe stock market. A number of slocks had gains of two points or more, including Johns-Manville, Superior Oil of I California, Montgomery Ward 1 and Amerada Petroleum. Good year, Westinghouse Electric, Homestake Mining, Dow Cherai-, eai, Lima Locomotive, Lane Bry- j ' ant and Industrial Rayon were up a point or more each.
