BY HOWARD FLIEGER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90
(AP)-In a ceremony of SOL
emn simplicity Franklin Del
ano Roosevelt embarked to-
day on his fourth term as
president of a United States
dedicated to victory and last
ing world peace.
Standing on the south
portico of the White House,
he repeated the 37-word oath OF
the President for the fourth time,
and set the theme of his new adj
ministration in these words:
I'm the days and years that are
to come we shall work for a just
and durable peace as today we
work and fight for total victory in
war;
A select crowd Of 1906 by the
official count at the gates stood in
the snow of the White House lawn
to witness the inaugural ceremony
stripped of its usual glitter and
pornp by the grimness of war.
Short Ceremony
The whole thing was over in IS
minutes, climaxed by Mr.. Roose~
velt's 551-word fourth inaugural adj
dress.
A few minutes before the Presis
dent repeated the oath after Chief
Justice Harlan F. Stone, bespec.
tacled Harry S. Truman of Mis-.
souri, was sworn in as the third
Roosevelt vice president. He took
the oath from the man he succeede
Henry A. Wallace.
Clad. in a dark blue suit and
b1ue-gray tie, the president stood
with one hand appraised and the
other on an ancient Roosevelt fam.

he called "a period Of supreme

that our own we'll being is de.
pendent on the we'll being of other
nations, far away. We have learn.
ed that we must live as men, not
as ostriches, nor as dogs in the
manger."
His voice carried clear and firm
over loudspeakers which projected
his words to ashingtonians who
pressed against the cold iron fence
that rims the White House
grounds. Heavy gray skies hung
over the White House and the snow
festooned trees which formed a
backdrop for the simple back
yard' ceremony.
With Mr.. Roosevelt on the porti.

Allied Powers Sien
Hungarian Armistice
NAILS LOSE ALLY
Text OF Terms, Reached
In Moscow, To Be Made
Public Today
BY FLORA LEWIS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90 R-
The Allies signed an armistice
with Hungary today, narrowing
Hitler's list of European cohorts.
Announcement of the pact came
first from Moscow where the doc.
ument was signed by Marshal Kle-
menti Voroshilov for t h United
States, Britain and Russia.
Although the armistice strips the
Nazis of a major ally, the Ger
mans still are sponsoring a Hun
garian government under Coun
Szalasi, and there remain German
satellites in Slovakia, the Bonem-
ian-Moravian protectorate and il
northern Italy to bolster the Ger
man case.

be made public at noon tomorrow

which, it is believed, come more

The month-long negotiations
were carried on in Moscow be-

don was too busy with plans for
Germany to take up formulation
of Hungarian terms.
The two main points on which
the United States government was
primarily interested were 1epara.

tons figure has been reduced con-

four years which Russia demand

Also, it is expected, payments
for Czechslovakia and Yugoslavia,
which were occupied by Hungari-
an troops, will be included in the
