CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE—
Never before had an American
president died in wartime. Abra-
ham Lincoln fell under Assassin
Booth’s bullet just five days after
:he surrender of General Lee’s army
it Appomattox in 1865. Woodrow
Wilson lived to see victory over
Germany in World War I, but he j
!ought a losing battle for the
league of Nations and died early
n 1924, a defeated leader. Many ;
historians believe Lincoln’s great-
less might have been dimmed in
.he conflicts over reconstruction j
hat followed the War Between the
states, just as Wilson’s prestige
vas lost in the conflict over the
eague that followed World War I.
Thus Franklin Roosevelt, dying at
he height of his career just as vic-
ory was to be achieved over Ger-
nany, seemed likely to live in his-
,ory as a great man.
As the American people from
Main Street to Riverside Drive
•nourned the death of Franklin
Roosevelt, their prayers went up
!or his successor, Harry S. Truman.
For on the shoulders of this slight,
gray, 60-year-old Missourian had
oeen laid a responsibility such as
American President had ever
attention.

What the consequences of the
President’s death would be to
the United States and the
world, time alone would tell.
But as Americans recovered
from their first shock at the
news, they quickly determined
two things. The war must be
prosecuted to as speedy and
victorious a finish as possible.
Lasting peace must be estab-
lished.
And so, regardless of party or of
past political differences, the peo-
ple have rallied behind Mr. Truman.
The new President faces the im-
mediate task of directing American
participation in the United Nations’
blueprints for a permanent world
Drganization. He likewise faces the
responsibility of establishing work-
ing relations with other members
Df the Big Three, so that the per-
sonal cooperation which existed be-
tween Franklin D. Roosevelt, Josef
Stalin and Winston Churchill in
leading the Allies toward victory'
HARRY S. TRUMAN
33rd PRESIDENT OF U. S.
may be maintained in helping win
the peace. He faces the long-range
job of guiding the nation to postwar
economic pi-osperity once Nazi Ger-
many and Japan are finally defeated.
Known as a plain, modest
man who has not dramatized
himself personally, President
Truman nevertheless has dem-
onstrated on many occasions
that he can be a leader of force
and determination. His work as
chairman of the Truman com-
mittee in the U. S. senate in-
vestigating the conduct of the

Throughout his career as Presi-

known as the “precedent breaker.”
That title was first conferred in 1932
when he flew out to Chicago from
Albany, N. Y., to address the Demo-
cratic convention that had nomin-
ated him. 'It continued after his
election as a result of his informal
methods of transacting business.
But it reached a climax in his de-
cision to seek a third term in 1940
and a fourth term in 1944.
