Re- consideration last week resulted in @ reversal of the earlier decision, and the group that will be exalnin- ed during the four days In the lat- ter part of this month will form all or part of the state's November quota.
 The practical advantages of the plan are obvious, and are already in use in New York and Pennsylvania. It is felt that the new procedure will eliminate the embarrassment attendant upon cases where draftees haven given up jobs and business, only to be rejected later by the Hartford examining board.
 Under the new procedure, state director Col. Ernest L. Averill has indicated, methods currently in use in local boards will not undergo any change. Registrants will continue to be examined by physicians attach ed to local boards and classified in conformity with established practice. The only difference in- volved will be that registrants will now receive notice to report for pre-induction examination at Hart ford, and on the day of the physi- cal test will be given tranSporta- ton both ways in addition to q

ming engineer for the state hgh-
way department, today was
appointed directing engineer OF
the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan
parkway authority to direct the
blaming of a gigantic series OF
highways and parks to provide
playground for Detroiters and
residents OF southern Michigan.
But at the meeting of parkway
commissioners at which Taylor
was appointed, a snag developed
when County Auditor Edward II.
Williams informed the commits
sioners that the auditors would be
unable to advance the authority
$4,000 with which TO pay the
salaries OF Taylor and other APP
pointees, as they had promised. A
question has arisen whether the
auditors have the authority to adj
vance the money, Williams said,
and IL has been referred to the
prosecutor for an opinion which
should be issued in week.
But Taylor pointed out he could
not assume his new position i'm
Imediately and by the time he can
the problem will undoubtedly be
ironed out. Also appointed were:
Arthur Scheifle, executive secre-
tary at a salary of $4,000 yearly
and Leroy c. Smith. candidate for
state highway commissioner in the
Spring election. consulting engi-
neer at $4,000. Taylor will receive
$1,000.
Taylor has been employed by
the state highway commission for
five years. Before that he was
with the state planning board and
was city manager OF Harbor
Springs.

Presidents Mother
Dies at Hyde Park

Thousands of messages of con-
dolences were arriving at the tenn
porary White House offices in
Poughkeepsie and the White House
in Washington. They came from
the worlds great who, since 1892,
when her son became President,
have known the grand old lady of
Hyde Park" as both an impecable
ariStocrat and a proud mother,
and from simple folk to whom she
symbolized the maternal virtues.
The home in which she died was
October, 1890, at the age of 6, as
October, 1880, at the age of 26, as
the bride of James Roosevelt Who
was 26 years older than she. There
her only child, Franklin, was born.
1t was the scene of his childhood.
From there she watched his first
essays into politics, of which she
didn't altogether approve and there
she watched over him while he
fought back from the affliction of
infantile paralysis. And there, in
her last years, she reigned as
gracious hostess over a semi official
White House, entertaining such
distinguished guests of her son as
the King and ueen of Great Brit
ain, the Grown Princess of the
Netherlands, the Crown Prince and
Princess of Norway, the Grand
Duchess of Luxembourg, the Duke
the King and Queen of Great Brit
celebrities, to say nothing of vari-
Gus governmental and political as
sociates of her son.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-09-08

HYDE PARK. NY, Sept. 8 CUP)
An American flag fluttering at
half mast from the Franklin D.
Roosevelt library symbolized today
the grief of the President and his
family over the death of his mo-
ther, Mrs. Sara Delano Roosevelt.
Mrs. Roosevelt, Sc years old, one
of three women who have lived long
enough to see their sons become
President of the United States, died
yesterday following a collapse of
her circulatory system brought
about by old age. Death came in a
bedroom of the ancestral Roose-
velt estate here with her son and
her daughter Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt, at her bedside.
Funeral services, which will be
private, will be held tomorrow from
the home and she will be buried on
the left side of her husband, James
Roosevelt, who died in 1900, in the
family plot in the yard of st.
James Episcopal church here. Only
members of the family and init
mates will attend and friends and
the public were specifically request
ed not to send flowers.
