He Will FOLLOW
ROOSEVELT POLICIES

harry >. truman was sworn IN as
the thirty second president Of the
United States at 6:08 (CWT) last
night, succeeding Franklin Delano
Roosevelt, whose war and domestic
policies he vowed to carry on.
In his first official act he author
lied Secretary of State Edward R.
Stettinius Jr. to announce the San

wanted it that way.
In his first official pronounce
ment the new president said:
'The world may be sure we will
prosecute the war on both fronts,
east and west, with all the vigor
we possess to a successful conclu-
sion."
The new president and comman-
der-in-chief, who will be 81 May 8,
took the oath from Chief Justice
Harlan F. Stone in a brief, solemn
ceremony in the cabinet room of the
White House.
Even before taking the oath he
had asked all members of Mr..
Roosevelt's cabinet to stay in Of
flee and help him complete the
job of winning the war and writing
the peace.
He pledged himself to carry on
the policies of his predecessor.
The swearing-in ceremony was
witnessed by cabinet members and
other high ranking government Of
ficials. Behind the new president
stood Mrs. Truman, her face tear
stained.
He used a Bible brought from
Mr.. Roosevelt's office. He held it
in his left hand and placed his
right hand on top while Stone pro-
nounced the oath from memory.
Mr.. Truman repeated it after him.
Stone pressed his hand.
Members of the White House
staff looked on, weeping.
Mr.. Truman was born at Lamar,
Mo. He married his childhood
sweetheart, the former Bess Wal
lace. They have one child, Mary
Margaret, 21.
He spent his early life on a farm,
and his mother once said of him
that he could "plow the straightest
row of corn in the country"
He won nomination for vice pres
ident at Chicago last July with the
support of Democratic Committee
Chairman Robert E. Hannegan,
also from Missouri, and former
Vice President Henry A. Wallace
was bypassed.
Prior to the election, he stated
he had no ambition to be president,
but would follow President Roose-
velt Ito the end"
