1t did not seem incongruouS, that
| horse drawn caiSSon, and the con-
trasting rumble of 48 armored recon-
naissance cars, and the big howitzers
pulled by trucks. Yet the caiSson
was appropriate. 1t, and the horses,
were after all a link with the past,
one of the traditions that kept alive
the glory of the Republics earlier
years.
Constitution avenue was lined
with soldiers, their rifles with fixed
bayonets. Behind them were the
rows of people who had come sadly
to honor their President, standing
on the green. spacious grass plots Of
the Mall and under the trees so
freshly in leaf. The morning was
bright and soft. 1t was spring day
without a blemish until clouds
gathered in the afternoon. The
half stated flags on the public
buildings futtered only slightly in a
faint breeze.

Waiting Crowd Tense.
AS the crowds waited quietly, a
little tense, the sound of muffled
music invaded the hushed avenue
The somber measures swelled as the
Marine band came into sight.
The music was almost unbearable
in its solemn tones Many Of the
watchers turned away with moist
eyes.
The band alternated with three
marches - Teckham's Our Fallen
Heroes" the "Marche Pathetique, -
of Beethoven and Our Illustrious
Dead" by T. H. Rollison.
At the subdued loveliness Of
Beethoven, one recalled that it was
from this German composer of a
century ago that the United Nations
drew the "V-for- victory" notes, the
opening chords of the Fifth SYM

How many times this band had
played the gay Hail to the Chief"
when the man whose body lay in
the caisson behind had entered or
left public functions, smiling and
waving to acclaiming crowds! The
musicians must have thought Of
that.

Senator Bushfield wrote Secretary
of State Stettinius that "a pro-

the Senate if the American repre-
sentatives to the United Nations Sc

will insist on such an amendment
to the Dumbarton Oaks formula.
The Bushfeld proposal, forerun-

to be made in the Senate when a

there, also was submitted to the

Mr.. Stettinius it is his opinion that

it would be possible to insert in the
proposed San Francisco charter a
statement similar to that which the

While the siege of Magdeburg
continued, the End Armored Di-
vision was gathering strength en-
the east bank of the Elbe to the
south and bridging it under heavy
fire.
The Germans had the operations
under direct fire from their ack ack
guns which have been studded
thickly about Berlin to ward of
air raiders, and the problem of
bridging it was expected to be as
tough as the Rhine operation or
worse.
These massed antiaircraft guns,
which were checking a direct drive
into Berlin's outer defenses, seemed
to be the only opposition of the
I'd Armored Division, however.
Little Fire From Small Arms.
A battlefront dispatch said little
or no small arms fire was coming
from the east bank of the river.
There was no indication that the
5th Armored Division, up to the
Elbe on front stretching as much
as SO miles north of Magdeburg, had
yet attempted any crossings.

RooseveIt's Health
Broken by Work al
Ya|ta, Cox Believes
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, April IA. Former
Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio in a
signed editorial in the Atlanta Jour-
nal, which he owns, expressed belief
tonight that the Crimea Conference
broke Franklin D. Roosevelt S
health.
The man who headed the Demo-
cratic ticket in 1920 with Mr.. Roose-
welt as the vice presidential nominee
asserted that "at Yalta the issues
to be met could not have but been
most exacting of his powers of en-
durance."
ut must have been more trying
on Roosevelt than either Churchill
or Stain because the United States
mad been held responsible for the
failure of the League of Nations,
the editorial said
And in the midst of present dis
cussions, the head of our Govern
ment must have been constantly re-
mindful that a greater responsibility
rested upon him. This tremendous
load must have taken its toll"
Bothered by Sinus Trouble.
The former Governor said he
talked to Mr.. Roosevelt by telephone
just before the President left for
Warm Springs, where he died
Thursday, and that he seemed to
"be quite himself"
Il remarked that if he was as
well as he sounded, he must be IN
good shape" Mr.. Cox recalled. He
said the most bedeviling thing was
sinus trouble which persisted in the
Washington climate. Nowhere else
was he ever conscious of it,"
Describing the late President as
man of physical and moral cour-
age, Mr.. Cox said Mr. Roosevelt had
great common sense and realized
that Virulent attacks upon him were
perfectly natural
Il remember his once saving tC
me that he was sure the common
people of the country loved him,
the editorial continued. Those

ther observed that that was ample
compensation for all the unpleasant
things that had come
Details Increased Work.
Declaring that no President evel
knew as much about the ramifica-
tions of government, Mr. Cox said
His administration might have
functioned better and he nigh
have lived longer if more matters
of detail and even minor policy
had cleared through the cabinet
members.
After the war came, Mr.. Cox com.
mented that every industrial lead.

of Bremen found the going slow in
attempts to enlarge the Aller River
bridgehead, where they might sweep
northwest and take that port from
the rear. Violent counter attacks
by a Marine division were beaten
off this area.
The dash of the Scottish troops
from the Celle bridgehead to Uelzen
appeared to have followed fast in
the wake OF large-scale withdrawal
of German troops beyond the Elbe,
reported by pilots Friday Allied
warplanes knocked out 400 of the
retreating vehicles Friday.
Steady Gains Reported.
Along the western flank steady
gains were reported. The strongly
defended communications center of
Cloppenburg, 35 miles southwest of
Bremen, finally was captured The
British then pushed five miles be-
yond to within 16 miles of the city
of Oldenburg.
Arnhem fell to triumphant British
infantry of the 49th Division as

land failed.

correspondents may send a greater
voIume of press copy from the
United Nations Conference in San
Francisco than from any meeting
ever held in the Nation. S. E
Hastings, Chicago superintendent
for Western Union, said today.
Approximately 1000 correspond
ents covering the conference, be-
ginning April Is and lasting a
month or more, are expected tC
exceed the record of 9,576 900 words
of press copy sent from the Demo-
cratic National Convention in New
York in 1924, he said.
Western Union is shifting about
$50 operators and other personnel
to San Francisco. The usual clat'
ter of Morse telegraph keys will
largely be lacking because most o.
the dispatches will be sent from a
wire room in the Veterans Build
ing by teleprinters with typewriter
like keyboards.
Mr.. Hastings said telegraph Offices
also would be open day and night

lished in the Palace Hotel housing
