ent's dispatch to the newspaper
Izvestia from the liberated Austrian
capital said today.

for two days.

repairing snapped trolley and tele-

In the midst of this imperative
research, the new Chief Executive
found time to issue through Mr.
Stettlnius yesterday declaration
that there will be no change or
purpose or break of continuity" in
the foreign policy of the Govern

yesterday-from 9 am. until about
5 pm.
In the oval room where President
Roosevelt worked for more than IL
years, Mr.. Truman saw Army and
Navy chiefs, Secretary Stettinius, Mr..
Byrnes and others. He decreed to-
day a day of mourning for Mr..
Roosevelt.
At noon he sped to the Capitol,
where he had lunch with old Sen
ate friends. He received unanimous
pledges of support.
Then he came out Of the room
to greet newspapermen.
IF you fellows pray" he said,
please pray for me. I mean that.
Tears welled in his eyes when he
saw the familiar faces of Capitol
newsmen. He reverted to the Ian
guage of his Missouri farm youth to
describe the crushing weight of his
new job.
II don't know if any of you fel-
lows ever had a load Of hay or a
bull fall on him." he said. But
last night the whole weight Of the
moon and stars fell on me. I feel
