RIBUTE TO
PRESI
DENT
By E. P. IVOHY. Chairman
Klamath County Democratic
Central Committee
There is little worthwhile that
can be added to what has already
been saitt a o a u i " "v; ,
president, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt. Ever j since the news ,
shocked and saddened this com
munity at 3 p. m. Thursday aft
ernoon, we have read in our
papers and heard the tcar-sad-dened
voices of the nation s pub
lic men and commentators praise
him as the greatest man in the
world; as the commander-in-c
h i e f of America at war, who
died with his face to the foe; as
the humanitarian who led tnis
nation out of the depths of de
pression into its highest prosper
ity; as the friend of the common
man, who though born In high
estate always thought and felt
and worked in the interests of
the lowly; as the most beloved
of America's presidents.
The proof and most sincere ac
knowledgment of the truth of
these statements has come from
our own people here in Klamath
county: People in tears on the
street, children crying on the
way home from school, women
and even men quietly mourning
within their homes, church bells
tolling, flags at half-mast, expres
sions everywhere of loss and be
reavement, and our newspapers,
and radios playing on a muted
scale. . "
No matter what the shade of
one's political opinion, or what
feelings may have been aroused
in the heat of campaign, all now
acknowledge the greatness and
magnificence of the man who is
passed-. So it is with the utmost
humility, and with no thought of
politics, that I venture to pro
claim his passing as an especial
ly great loss to the democrats of
Klamath county. Tbey hominat
ed him four times to head their
party,--and they, with therielp
of -republican friends, repeatedly
added their votes to swell the to
tal that elected him to lead the
nation. We feel his loss in a per
sonal sense, but are gratified that
Providence permitted us to help
place- this .man, in a position
where Jiis grea.fhess might bene
fit America an4 the wory at the
time of lts'gravest-rieed. -
Flags Lowered
Over Nation
In all parts of the world
flags were lowered to halt
mast yesterday afternoon up
on the death of Franklin Del
ano Roosevelt, president ot
the United Slates of Ameri-
The American Legion post
In Klamath Falls suggests
the observance of the hour
from 1 a. m. to 8 a. m. Sun
day (PWT) to conform with
the burial service to be held
for the late President Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt in Hyde
Park, N. Y., at 10 a. m.
(EWT).
Carl Schubert, commander
of the Legion post here, stat
ed that flags should be dis
played until after burial at
half-mast and that flags on
public buildings should be
flown at half-mast for a pe
riod of 30 days. The proper
procedure to raise and lower
the flag is to first raise it to
the top of the pole and then
lower it to half-mast where
it is flown until sunset. The
flag should then be taken in
by raising the flag again tc
the top and then lowering tc
a point where it may be tak
en in. The proper position
for the flag to fly at half
mast is exactly half way
down the length of the pole

later.
To the 60-year-old, ruddy com
plexioned new president fell the
immediate and sorrowful task
nf hnrvine a chief executive for
whom "he had boundless admira
tion and unfaltering loyalty.
Mr Roosevelt was struck
down by a cerebral hemorrhage
as he posed for a sketching ar
tist in his cottage at the Warm
Springs infantile paralysis foun
dation where he had gone last
Tvinnth fnr a rest.
Carried into the bedroom oi
the little white cottage on Pine
mountain that was his vacation

Nation Stricken
It was as simple as -that, the
blow that struck tne nation to
its heart as it read of climatic
military successes .In Germany
and of a quickening ot tne war
in the Pacific, and speculated
on the success or failure of the
forthcoming conference to form
an organization- Mr. Kooseveii
hoped would prevent future
wars.
.Mrs. Roosevelt, at a charity
benefit, received the news by
telephone. Without a word she
went to the White House. The
call went out for Mr. Truman.
He rushed there with a hastily
assembled secret service escort.
' His first words to Mrs.. Roose
velt were of her and the four
Roosevelt sons. Mrs. Roosevelt
had sent them a message that
their father had slept away. He
aid jus job to tne end as ne
would have them do. she said.
"What can I do?" asked the
new president.
"Tell us what we can do,"
Mrs. Roosevelt replied bravely,
"Is there any way we can help
youT
Outside on the street, a auiet.
unbelieving crowd gathered
quickly. Confused and dazed,
hundreds stood in LaFayette
park, across from the. White
House square, far into the nizht.
. Long since, Mr. Truman had
been sworn in by Chief Justice
Stone in the cabinet room. Plac
ing his hand on a red-edged
Bible, the new president repeat
ed the oath, reading from - a
small slip of paper.
He, his wife and their daugh
ter, .Margaret, left from a rear
entrance for their apartment
home where they spent the
night, guarded closely by the
secret service and police.
Mrs. Roosevelt left immedi
ately after the oath-taking cere
mony and flew to Warm Springs
to accompany the body of the
president to Washington.

and in an offensive of their
own landed on .Boliol, the last
major island in the Philippines
to be remvaaea.
One American destroyer was
sunk and several other ships
damaged in the day-long air
battle off Okinawa, 325 miles
from Japan. Nippon's suicide
pilots centered the attack
their second disastrous attempt
within a week on the in
vasion fleet and supply dumps
on the west coast of the island
where Yanks unloaded 55,000
tons of material in the first
10 days of the invasion.
Eight Ships "Sunk"
A Japanese smmunique
claimed eight U. S. ships were
sunk and one damaged.
Breaking the six months' of
ficial American silence on
Japan's highly publicized sui
cide corps, Fleet Adm. Chester
W. Nimitz said they have met
with only "negligible success."
They have sunk a number of
destroyers and damaged some
major" fleet units, but no battle
ship, fast carrier or cruiser has
been sunk.
Huge Grain Storage
Plant to Be Built

addition to the large 30,000-bush-el
caDacitv bins there will be six
interstice bins of 7000 bushels
capacity. The head house will in
clude 25 rectangular bins with
aeereeate caDacitv of 36,001)
bushels. It also will house the
grain cleaning equipment, ship
ping scales and also the elevator
legs.
The plant will feature an in
tricate automatic system for re
ceiving, distributing and loading
grain on freight cars, operated
from one control point. It will be
possible for twelve 10-ton trucks
to unload each hour-. -
Grain will be received on a
40-foot platform scale and truck
dump from field trucks. After
dumping, the grain will feed di
rect to two legs of an elevator
with a capacity of 8000 bushels
per hour. The elevator will take
the grain to the top of the struc
ture, where It will move on con
veyor belts over the storage
tanks, dropping into individual
tanks under control of an oper
ator in the head house. Another
conveyor belt below the tanks
will be used in removing the
grain to freight cars, and it will
be possible to load from three to
four cars an hour.
Bulk Operations
The elevator, first of its kind
in this area, will make possible
bulk operations by Tulana farms
in handling its big grain crop.
Trucks will be converted for
bulk operations instead of sack
ing as has been done in the past.
Tulana farms includes a large
area of grain land on Lower
Klamath lake, and the firm has
been one of the large lease-holders
on Tule lake.
Dick Henzel, one of the part
ners, said that it is planned to do
custom storing in the big plant
Its location on the railroad and
highway will make it possible to
conduct storing-in-transit opera
tions there.
