Nozzle Designed
As Rainmaker To
Test Army Goods
Kansas City. Mo. 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-:

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.
