 His sudden death will not delay the conference. His name and his thoughts still will dominate the opening meeting. Representatives of the United Nations vowed with in hours of his death that the memory of his vision, courage, statesmanship and leadership would inspire them in the task of build ing world peace.
 MT. Roosevelt devoted the last years of his life to two great ob- jectives: 1. Winning the wars; 2. Building the foundation for an in- ternational accord that would give some assurance of lasting peace.
 Accomplishment of the first ob- jective was in sight before he died. The crucial test for the second one begins-aS Scheduled-12 days from today in San Francisco.
 The first question which arose after the shock of Mir Roosevelts death had passed was: will the conference go on.''
 It was the first major decicion President Truman had to make. And less than an hour after he had taken the presidential oath he made it. Secretary of State Edward R.. Stettinius, Jr., announced:
 With the authority of President Truman, wish toannounce that the San Francisco conference will open on April 25 as planned"
 One high official explained it this way:
 'Just as the war must go on, SO must the planning to prevent an- other one"
 The sentiment of those who will represent the United States at the conference, as well as the represen- tatives of the other United Nations, was:

 The Soviet people highly valued President Roosevelt as 8 great or ganizer of the struggle of freedom loving nations against the common enemy and a leader in the cause of insuring security for the whole world"
 To President Truman he mess aged:
 "On behalf of the Soviet govern ment and myself personally, I want to express profound condo lence to the government of the United States of America on the oc- casion of the premature death of President Roosevelt.
 "The American people and the United Nations have lost in Frank lin Roosevelt great politician of world significance and a pioneer in the organization of peace and se- curity after the war.

 As one Allied government diplo- mat put it, everybody here rejoiced when Roosevelt was reelected, be- cause we felt we knew what Amer ican policy would be for the next four years. But now we are con- fused.'
 MT. Roosevelts death will have no direct effect on the policy of the British delegation to the San Fran cisco conference. But it will make them more wary. A straw tossing in a troubled wind was a call to the United Press this morning from a high official of the Polish foreign office, who wanted to know who will be the real power behind Amer ican foreign policy now"
 Churchill told an eight-minute Commons session that MT. Roose- velt's friendship for the cause of freedom and for the causes of the weak and poor won him immortal renown' The House then adjourned as a mark of respect after setting aside Tuesday for personal tributes to the late President.

others thought they had the nod from MT. Roosevelt to seek the vice presidential nomination in an open field.
 Hardest hurt of all was Henry A. Wallace, then vice president and now Secretary of Commerce. MT. Roosevelt flashed the red light against Byrnes, Barkley and the rest. He left even Wallace strand ed and let the word be passed that Harry s. Truman was the man.
 With MT. Roosevelt died the force that held together the opposing seg- ments of the New Deal-Democratic party. Political Washington fore- sees that about next Monday there will begin a contest between Wal lace, the spokesman of the left wing, and the leaders of more conserva- tive party clements for the new Presidents support. If the White House swings away from the policies of the Congress of Industrial Or ganizat1ons, the battle between Mr Truman and Wallace is on.
 It will come more on domestic issues than foreign affairs. MT. Truman has not been profoundly informed on international questions. as he would explain even if he were not asked. Under him the State Department will have a freer hand than under Mir Roosevelt who was more often than not his own secre- tary of state. But MT. Truman will do everything he can in the field of world collaboration for peace.
 Legislatively Minded
 And the new President will look to congress for advice more quickly than MT. Roosevelt did. He is leg islatiyely minded with a flair fol friendship among legislators. This promises for time, at least, enor- mously better relations between the White House and Capitol Hill.
 Homely and colloquial in conver- sation, MT. Truman expresses him. self about as your neighbor might One of his most recent informal remarks on postward problems went like this:
 There's nothing I can do about it because I'm political eunuch Che rated the influence of the vice presidency pretty low). But, I'd do anything in the world I could to prevent another war"
 The new President is expected to translate that pledge into action by maintaining the closest possible as- sociation with the senate-all the senate-aS the San Francisco con- ferees negotiate toward agreement Best bet here today is that what ever agreement comes from the San Francisco conference with MT. Tru- mans okay will ultimately obtain senate approval. The man from Missouri knows his senate inside out.
 There should be nothing stiff or formal about his conferences with his former colleagues If anyone is to be shocked by it, they may as well know now that the President of the United States likes drink before lunch-a good stiff one. And if the company is good he'll take two-a bird can't fly on one wing Therell be many a pre-luncheon conference at the White House in the next four years which should

forgave the men who beat him. Nor did he ever forget those who supported his lost cause.
 Truman had fearful premoni- tion that he might succeed to the Presidency. The thought dismayed him. It was not so much that he underrated himself. But he knew the shape and scope of the Presi- dency and like many another man would not believe it could be ap- preached except in anxious humil- ity.
 Out in Missouri a very old lady was thinking that way, too
 We are praying" she said, that God will guide him"
 The President of the United States will join Mrs. Martha Tru- man, his 92-year-old mother, in that prayer.

POPE CABLES CONDOLENCES

Rome, April 13. (UP)-Pope Plus XII cabled his personal condolences to Mrs. Roosevelt today immediately after he ilearned of MT. RooSevelt's death.
 The Pontiff had met President Roosevelt personally in October l936. He had looked to the President to help establish the lasting peace for which the pontiff himself had worked so hard.

avoid many bruising battle on the floor of house or senate.
 It will be almost the same as when Sen. Truman sat with his colleagues in Ed Halsey's Capitol office at those intimate luncheons which the late secretary of the senate delighted in giving. Or as in his own office when few poli- tical or newspaper cronies gathered for cheerful hour.
 There will be something different, too. The president of course, will still be Harry to his friends on in- formal occasions.
 Richard Jervis headed the White House Secret Service detail here for many years, guarding Woodrow Will son, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover and, for a time, the President who has just died.
 T don't care who they are or what they're like,' Jervis used to say during pause in the press room bridge bidding, they change quite a lot the minute they put their foot in this place"
 With MT. Truman, the change will be very slow. His inclination is ex- pected to be to listen more to Dem- ocratic conservatives than MT. Roosevelt ever would do. But he knows and likes many of the left wingers, too Even Hopkins, one of the most controversion Roosevelt ad- ministration figures, may be expect ed to be around for some time. Hop- kins has been the late Presidents confidante in great matters of state. He has known the secrets that Stet- tinius on occasion was on the spot when the big decisions were made Possessing the knowledge that he does. Hopkins may be indispensable to MT. Truman for time. They are alike in some ways. It could be that a partnership would develop, but if so it would be on MT. Truman's terms.
 There are Washingtonians who feel the new president is not favor ably inclined toward all of MT. Roosevelt's cabinet personnel. But the professional military and naval command of the war Is believed to be on the job for the duration. Fleet Admiral William D. Leahy should make as excellent a chief of staff for President Truman as for President Roosevelt.
 Col. Harry Vaughn will become 6 powerful White House figure now. He was World War I buddy of MT. Trumans and presently is his mili- tary aide. Hugh Fulton was counsel of the Truman committee which plowed up so many of the war ef- forts errors and made the new pres ident sufficiently national figure to be chosen last summer to be MT. Roosevelts running mate. Fulton will be appearing around the White House any time now. Watch Hannegan Chairman Robert E. Hannegan of the Democratic National Committee is another man to watch. It was Hannegan who broke the news to MT. Roosevelt last spring that he would avoid a lot of trouble if he would scuttle vice president Wallace for the 1914 campaign. Hannegan managed the floor fight that nomin- ated MT. Truman. Furthermore, it was Hannegan wl-o helped MT. Roosevelt make up his mind that Truman was the man he wanted. Hannegan and MT. Truman are fel- low Missourians If there is anything within the Presidents gift that Hannegan wants-Such as the post master generals.lip, for instance like as not the chairman could have it.

 Warm Springs, Ga, April 13.-- (UP)-Did President Roosevelt know that he was an i'll man and that the time had come to hus- band his strength?
 Many of us who saw him often and travelled with him believe he did.
 There was nothing wrong with him orfganically. But the tremen- dous pressure of the toughest job on earth had begun to take It's toll in nervous energy.
 This was first noticeable last year after the Tehran Conference. For two months he suffered from sinus trouble and bronchitis, and 1t was then that he decided to go to Bernard M. Baruch's estate near Georgetown, s. C.. and fight 1t out for himself.
 He was fighting more than bron- chitiS. He was, I think, trying to decide whether he was able to go through the rigors of another presi- dential campaign. He thought he had won. He took it easy in South Carolina for a month and came back to Washington. confident that he was in tip-top shape.
 But he did not snap back as he uesd to do. His voice was weaker, his tan faded faster and he began spending almost every weekend in the restful atmosphere of Hyde Park.
 Then came the fourth-term cam paign, a terrific physical beating. He spent hours touring cities in an open car, often in miserable weather. He delivered 8 speech at Ebbets field in Brooklyn standing bare-headed in a cold driving rain. Next day at Hyde Park he laughed at those in his party who had the sniffles and told them he felt fine.
 But the Yalta Conference was ahead of him and that trip, think, was a serious drain on his vitality. It was probably the hardest ten days he ever went through in his life. On the ship coming back I saw more of him than I had ever seen in the same length of time. It seemed he had aged ten years in ten days. He sat all day in the sun on the boat trip back. He had lost weight, but he refused to take it seriously, said he would gain it back at Warm Springs.
 On March he made this report

lection, admiration and confidence of the Soviet peoples as did MT. Roosevelt.
 To the average politically con- scious Soviet citizen as well as high policymakers, MT. Roosevelt was a symbol of the United Nations fight for freedom and international friendship. His death at this critical juncture of world history no doubt will be regarded here as a universal tragedy.
