NAZISM TOTTERS AS ALLIES CLOSE IN This, the latest map of ihe European battle zones, shows how the American. British 'and Russian forces are closing in on the nazfa in central' Germany. Three American armies are reported smashing dofenses of T f J Pnva Lid UTdlltlt: 1 dya Silent Tribute To i Roosevelt Memory (Continued from Page 1) Land said all American merchant ships throughout the world have been ordered to lower their flags for 30 days. In the Pacific, American battle ships will also observe the flag lowering tribute where battle conditions permit. In Europe, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower pro claimed a 30-doy mourning .for the armed forces. Postofficcs shortened their day to end at noon. New York's only formal mem orial service was held in City Iiall park. Dr. Nicholas Murray I Butler of Columbia university, a life-long ' republican, was the speaker. Most state and municipal gov 1 1 nrm nts'closcd clown their civic departments until Monday. Muni cipal buildings in Hyde Park and Pouglikcepsie, county seat of Mr. Roosevelt's beloved Dutchess county, were draped in purple ;.'nd black.. Churches and synagogues plan ned for unprecedented numbers of Saturday worshippers for mo ments of prayer throughout the clay. Russian Armies Reported Only 2(i Miles From Berlin (Continued from Page 1) leveled on Ges'ap: orders and the women and children taken into slavery. Lt. Hans Laboeck, German col - i lespondent first to report the start of tire Red army's Vistula -to Oder offensive on Jan. 12, said that between Stettin und the Sudeten mountains "the enemy is t ying to smash the German dam on the eastern front with every t.:nk and every man at his di posal.' Laboeck, indicating that the cie is cast for the showdown bat tle' in the cast, said that when the fightiuy rpounted to full fin. v. as he evidently expected it to do momentarily, "then we irijusl realize that the final decision is at slake." flours earlier the German high command said the "enemy en- unueci nis oliensive fv epai aimii' ' in Silesia and on the lower Oder" the same stretch of eastern j Germany referred to by Laboeck.

Nation Pays Final Homage to Memory of Franklin Roosevelt (Continued from Page 1) sixth psalm, "God is our hope and strength," and the 131st psalm, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills." St. Johns church Is the "Presi dent's church." It was to this little! chapel, aieross Lafayette square from the White House, that Mr. Roosevelt went to pray for guidance the morning he took the oath of office, March 4, 1933. Favorite Hymn is Sung The lessons were read by the Rev. Howard S. Wilkinson, rec tor of St. Thomns church, and another of the president's favor ite hymns was sung, the old ring ing "Faith of Our Falheis! Liv ing Still . . ." Then Bishop Dun prayed : . "O God of peace ... remem ber thy servant, I'ranklin De lano ... "Strengthen those on whom have fallen nc w responsibilities in the high tasks of govern ment ... Watch over the men and women of our forces, by sea, by land and in the air . . . "Quicken and knil together in common loyally the wills of this whole people . . . "Keep us in this land and those peoples who struggle at our side, steadfast and united in the un finished task of war . . . Nation Pays Homage At the hour of the last service the whoie nation was paying , homage to Mr. Roosevelt. The arny.-d forces, scattered to every corner of the earth, .paused for filent prayer unless engaged i in actual combat. Factories fell silent and the great wheels of war production wire stilled for a fleeting moment. The ceremony brought to a ' close a day in the capital as solemn and silent as could be remembered. Tle mourning of ' the piople was deep. Nrt a few recalled the curious eircum i stance that just 80 yeas ago to c the very day the nation had plunged into mourning for an r other war h adi r, Abraham Lin coln, o The jirc.vifh nt's casket arrived in Washington just before II a.m. from Cvoigia.

Abraham Lincoln, shot by .John Wilkes Booth in Ford's theater on the evening of April 14, 1865. The mood of the crowds which watched the cortege pass was solemn, as was that of the new president, Harry S. Truman. President Follows 'Chlof Truman rode in the third lim ousine bhind the black military caisson upon which Mr. Roose velt's flag-draped casket rested. The caisson was drawn by six gray horses with a seventh lead horse. ' Mr..- Truman, riding with Sec retary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace and former War Mobil ized James F. Byi;nes, spoke hardly a wold during the cere mony. Mrs. Roosevelt and the Roose velt family hid their sorrow be hind a grim composure. Many in the crowd of thou sands which packed the cortege route from Union station, down treo-lincd Corts'.ilution avenue and up 15th street to Pennsyl: vania avenue and the While Hons--;, wept as the casket passed at a slow funeral pace. In the crowd were thousands of Negioes. They made little ef fort to conceal their sorrow at the death of the man who had done so much to better their lives. The president's casket was lift ed from the caisson by the honor guard and carried quietly into the While House as the marine band plaved "Load, Kindly Light." Son Attends Rites Walking with her son, Brig. (Jen. Elliott Jtooscvelt, Mrs. Roosevelt followed the casket in to the White House, a firm, tall figure in widow's black. Behind her were her daughter, Anna, and Col. John Boettiger, Anna's hus band. And behind them walked the four Roosevelt daughters-in-li.w, four abreast, trim and straight in thi'ir mourning black. Elliott flew here from Eng land. He was the only or.e of the four sorg who was able to re turn from his war duty in time. Mr. Truman cpiietly slipped away to alleiw the Roosevelt fam ily tei enter alone with the presr rlent s casket. He walked, hat ill hand, into the executive offices and met with his first caJJur of the Jay, shijO.uilder Andi?w J. Hi; pns of New Orleans.
