That was a typical bit of British understatement, however. For, to the British, Roosevelt was America. Somehow, to them he was pretty much the whole war effort. Hadn't he aided Britain long be- | fore the shooting began at Pearl Harbor? Hadn't he sent American weapons to England after Dunkirk? Hadn't he traded 50 destroyers to Britain in exchange for some bases in the Atlantic? : To the British, Roosevelt was also jend-lease. He was the American army, the American navy and the American air force. They knew that, to him, this war was not an American war, a British war, a Soviet war or a Chinese war, but a vast global conflict in which only two armies are at grips: The allied army and the army of the enemies of mankind. And they knew that Roosevelt had but one aim and that was to uitilize all allied men and ships and guns and tanks, planes, money, food and equipment wherpver it would do the most good. Roosevelt made America “the argenal of democracy” — another

And what Roosevelt was to. the British, he was to most other peoples the world over—except those of enemy countries. So his sudden passing will not only be a tremendous shock to them but to their capitals as well. They will all be wondering what, if any, material changes will be made in his policies. None of the allies, of course, has any doubt that the United States will remain in the war to the very last. Or that it will continue to pack the Dumbarton Oaks plan- for international security after the war. One of President Truman's first acts, after being sworn in, was to confirm that the San Prancisco eonference would be held as scheduled, April 25. But an American President, foreign capitals know, wields more power than any other one man on earth. And no two men are exactly alike. They cannot help being anxious, therefore, to know whether the new man in the White House will put on the brakes a little, or go farther and faster along. the road traveled by his predecessor.
Difficult Task
Moreover,” in the international fleld there are bound to be many things—some perhaps of grave importance—about which the late] President knew but which no other; American does, at least not in such detail.” The first of our presidents to make extensive journeys abroad in his official capacity, President Roosevelt met again and again with Prime Minister Churchill, Marshal Stalin, Generalissimo Chiang Kalighek, Gen. de Gaulle and other world figures. Together they discussed affairs of state and reached understdndings even involving’ the future peace. Because of the war, much’ of this necessarily was carried on in the greatest secrecy. It will be difficult for President Truman to pick up and carry on.

From the thrift club Mrs. Roosevelt returned to the White House, and up on the little elevator to her private sitting room. Steve Early, White House’ secretary, and Vice Adm. Ross T. McIntire, the President's physician, broke the news. ; “Sorry for People”
“I'm more sorry for the people of the country than I am for ourselves,” sald Mrs. Roosevelt. Vice President Truman, who had been summoned to the White House, asked: “What can I do?” “Tell us what we can do,” Mrs. Roosevelt replied. “Is there any way we can help you?” Also to Mrs. Roosevelt went the unhappy task of telling” Her four sons in the armed services.

WARM SPRINGS, Ga. (U. P).—It can now be revealed]
Just how closely President Roosevelt had been guarded since the ‘United States was plunged into the war on Dec. 7, 1941. Even in normal times, many special precautions are taken to safeguard the life of the chief executive. But after Pearl Harbor, the precautions were doubled and Mr. Roosevelt's every moment was a secret like the maneuvering of an American battleship in enemy waters,

April 13 trips were as secret as an invasion.
It was only in recent weeks that the White House permitted publication of the fact that he had been in Hyde Park—and this was permitted only after the trip was over and he was back in the White House. The theory behind the war-time super-protection obviously was that some enemy agent might try to “get” him. But to the credit of the secret service, aided often by the armed services, not an attempt on the President's life was made during the period since Pearl Harbor. As many as 150,000 troops were used to protect the President's railroad route during one trip — his western war plant inspection trip in 1942. The only attempt to assassinate Mr. Roosevelt *occurred in Miami. After he had been elected President for the first time but before he had taken office in 1933." Shots intended for him fatally wounded Mayor Anton J. Cermak of Chicago. The assassin, Guiseppe Zangara, was executed.

Exact Mechanism Is Not Known to Science.
By Science Service WASHINGTON, April 13.—Brain hemorrhage, from which President Roosevelt died, is the commonest of -what physicians call “cerebral accidents.” The layman calls it a stroke of apoplexy or a paralytic stroke. High blood pressure and blood vessel disease are the chief causes of the condition.
The exact mechanism by which conditions occur, such as those leading to death from brain! hemorrhage or from coronary artery trouble, is not known. These blood vessels are where the strain comes, and many physicians, strain President Roosevelt had been under, had been expecting that blood vessels of either heart or brain would give way. Apoplectic Seizure The immediate cause of brain hemorrhage is a rapid rise in blood pressure. This may result from severe muscular exertion or from coughing or “sneezing. The immediate sequel of the hemorrhage into the brain is the apoplectic seizure, Most patients are said to have premonitory ‘symptoms as dizziness or a sense of pressure in the head. The seizure may, however, occur suddenly in a person in apparently perfect health.
knowing the
hemorrhage, there is no evidence that infantile paralysis has any connection, with the kind following apoplecitic seizure. Indirectly it might add some strain through the burden of getting about under physical handicap.

Several Are Prospects
Mr. Truman is the sort of man
who will have his own “kitchen { cabinet,” and already some men are being mentioned as possible holders of these important, ‘but often un- | official posts.’ . There is Hugh Fulton, for example. He is the former justice department lawyer whom Mr. Truman employed as chief counsel of what was then the Truman investigating committee of the senate. The new President, while a senator from Missouri and chairman of the war investigating group, leaned heavily upon this quiet, capable man. - Mr. Fulton quit the commit= tee when Mr. Truman became vice president. Another may be the Democratic national chairman, Robert Hannegan, to whom Mr. Truman can give {credit for making him- vice presi | dent, Bob Hannegan may become as powerful as Jim Farley was in the early New Deal.
Old Friend May Leave
Then, if President Truman picks advisors from the senate, he may settle upon the quiet-mannered Senator Carl Hatch of New Mexico. The new President's associates also mention an old friend from St. Louis, John Snyder, a banker
