U.R Quar- termaster Corps claims the dis tinction of being the first group ever to do anything about the weather, according to the Kan sas City quartermaster depot officials. They have developed a nozzle that simulates rain perfectly, of fleers said. The new weather maker was essential for testing garments and fabrics, since ordi nary sprinklers were found In adequate. After a long search, quarter master corpsmen found that the movie industry, which subjects Its stars to realistic looking drenchings, had developed a noz zle that produced what seemed nearer to genuine rain than any thing previously found. Scientists took the nozzles and subjected them to numerous tests, then re-designed them un til now. they can produce rain that is the envy of any weather man. Letter From Washington By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member ot Congress From Oregon Some 650 women are employ ed in Canadian National railway shops, roundhouses, coach yards and car repair tracks. THE CAPITAL MOURNS. The capital is in a state of official mourning which will continue for thirty days from the date of President Roosevelt's death. The city of Washington, being accus tomed to big news breaks and sudden shocks, has apparently quickly absorbed the recent world-shaking event, and busi ness goes on as usual. One thing Is clear, however, and that is Franklin Delano Roosevelt Is go ing to take a place in history along with the greatest. He not only served longer as president than any other, but he was presi dent during the depths of eco nomic depression and during war-time affluence. He was president while the seeds of the present war were germinating, and he was war president almost to the time of final victory Whatever his critics say of other phases of his administration, Mr. Roosevelt was eminently suc cessful as commander-in-chief in i the prosecution of the war. j ... TRUMAN AS PRESIDENT. The question most people are asking now is "What kind of President will Mr. Truman make?". I cannot attempt to an swer that question, but like nearly everyone else, I am will-, lng to discuss it. j As senator, Harry Truman was a hard-working, consclen-, tious man. He was not classified as one of the New Deal senators. In fact, many of the reports made by his special committee which investigated war contracts were sharply critical of the ad mlnistrption. Other than for the excellent work done by his committee, which was known as the Truman Committee, Senator Truman was Just an average senator able, effective, but not outstanding. Quite likely. President Tru man will be about the same kind of a president that he was a sena tor. President Truman is a mod-, est man and a very genuine sort of person. Although Truman is not a New Dealer, he Is a party man. i As a good party supporter and , a Democratic senator, Truman, 1 while in the senate, generally j voted in support of administra j tlon policies. But, as everyone knows, there is a sharp cleavage 1 in the ranks of the majority j party, the New Deal left wing-: WASHING MACHINES REPAIRED Parts b 8ervlce on All Make. B. & 6 Washer Shop 406 E.

AMERICAN FRUIT GROWERS GOOSE EEIPAHE 213 South Fir Slreel ers on the one side, and the nor mal and conservative Democrats on the other. Since the late President Roosevelt headed the party organization while this cleavage was developing, he had little difficulty in keeping the support of both factions. It does not seem likely that Truman can do the satae. Whatever political problems may arise to plague President Truman in the future, he has taken over the office in an atmo sphere of general approval and of sympathy for the gigantic task with which he is faced. He quite evidently has the whole-hearted good will of the congress. He has already let it be known that he will appeal to the senators and representatives for advice and counsel. It is not considered likely that Mr. Truman will make any changes in the cabinet immedi ately. He will, of course, install people of his own choice In the secretarial staff, and will re organize the White House to suit his own ideas. This will doubt less mean the elimination of Harry Hopkins, Judge Rosenman and others. After the San Francisco con ference, it Is expected that Fran ces Perkins, Francis Biddle and possibly Postmaster General Frank Walker and Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau may be replaced. Apparently Truman will make a very careful selection of the individuals he names on import ant jobs, and having named them, will give them ample authority and expect them to carry on without further coach ing from the top.
