PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT LAID
TO REST AT BELOVED HOME;
SERVICES LAST 40 MINUTES
Commander In Chief Of Mightiest Nation Buried In
Quiet Rose Garden; New President, Other
Notables, At Services

Franklin DelanO Roosevelt, 31St
president of the United States,
was buried Sunday at Hyde Park,
N. Y, with all the military pOmp
and ceremony befitting the Com
mander in Chief of the worlds
mightiest nation.
He was laid to rest in the quiet
rose garden of the boyhood home
he loved so well as just another
American citizen.
The mortal remains of the great
world leader, under the Flag of the
country to which he gave his life at
Warm Springs, Ca, a week ago yes
terday, was lowered into the grave
as the poignant notes of taps drift
ed over the Catskills.
The man upon whose shoulders
his mantle has now been flung,
President Harry S. Truman; his
grieving widow and one of his sons,
Brig. Gen. Elliott Roosevelt; his
daughter, Mrs. Anna Boettiger; and
four of his daughters in law; and
all the notables of this vast nation
stood by to bid him goodbye.
The little boy who climbed the
long-linbed oaks of the Hudson
highlands a half century ago and
skated the icy coves of the nearby
broad river, was back home-back
forever in the place nearest his
heart-his burdens of state now
lifted from his shoulders to sleep in
peace for all eternity.
AS the body was lowered into the
grave in its setting of green sward,
the Rev. w. George Anthony, 49,
year-old rector of st. James Episco-
pal the Presidents church in which
he served as senior warden, intoned
this eulogy:
Now the laborer's task is Ger;
now the battle day is past -.
Father, in Thy gracious keep
ing, leave us now our brother
sleeping"
The prayer was from the Episco-
pal hynnal written by John Ellerr
ton in 1876.

Harry S. Truman Didn't Want To Be
Vice President! Il Wouldn't Have
The job" Said In Phoenix Last April

m, two days before President Roose-
velt's fourth term running mate
was selected.
"Sam," said Mr.. Truman, ''condi-
tions have changed . will be
grateful if Arizona will go along
with me-
Overnight. the convention organi-
zation had decided Mr. Truman was
the man to beat Wallace.
Further, Mr.. Roosevelt had stop
ped in Chicago, enroute last sum-
mer to Pearl Harbor and Alaska,
and left Hannegan letter saying
either Mr.. Truman or Supreme
Court Justice William Douglas
would be acceptable to him.
The President came on to Phoe-
nix, where his special train paused
for several hours (under war
time security news blackoutl, while
he received reports of the corven-
ton and transacted official business.
Kelly, Hague, Hannegan, ct al
asked Morris to discuss the posi-
bility with Arizona's delegation OF
Fielding to Missouri for Mr.. Tru-
MANS nomination. The Arizonans
agreed to cast nine of their 10 votes
for Mr.. Truman. Two delegates
holding one vote, held out for Wal
| lace. They also agreed to pass and
let Missouri name it's native son.
Later, in the smoke-filled room in
the Chicago stadium, site Of the
convention, Mr.. Truman told Nor
ris: IF Arizona does this (yield to
Missouri and cast nine votes Tor
him). Arizona will always have a
friend in court.
On the first ballot, Wallace had
a big vote and some of the pro-
Truman delegates in the Arizona
contingent wavered. . . They Wills
pered: Maybe we are on the wrong
horse" However, assurances came
from the smoke-filled room that
Truman would be nominated and
Arizona sat tight, yielding to Mis-
souri, and voting for the Missourian.
When the show was over and
Wallace had been routed, Mr.. Tru-
man went to William Waldron OF
Stafford, acting chairman OF the
Arizona delegation, and personally
thanked him for the states sup
port.
Leaving the convention hall, Mr.
Truman told Morris:
"I will never forget what Arizona
did for me-"

SEE HIM AGAIN
IN PHILADELPHIA

On the final night of the Phila-
delphia convention, the Arizonans
again saw the President when he
came up from Washington to de-
liver his acceptance speech at the
stadium of the University of Penn
sylvania. Four of the delegates who
were in that convention are now
dead: William T. Webb, Bonita
Sheldon Dowell, Douglas; William
L. Barnum, Phoenix; and Chandler
Wood, Flagstaff.
Roosevelt did not attend the con-
ventions at Chicago in 1910 and
1914. From Washington he urged
Henry Wallace for ce-preSident in
1910 and Wallace was named.
The President was in Chicago
during the 1914 convention but did
not attend. He was there for a
short time while his train stopped
in the Union Station on his trip in
July to the Pacific coast via ANA
rillo and Tucson.
Very few people knew of the
Presidents presence in Chicago that
year. Among those was Democratic
National Committeeman R o b ert
Hannegan who greeted him at the
train.
At the 1914 convention the 110C
delegates were advised that either
Henry Wallace, Harry S. Truman
or James Byrnes would be accept
able to Mr.. Roosevelt as his running
mate. Wallace led on the first bal
lot, Truman got a majority on the

Santa Cruz
County Always
For Roosevelt

Santa Cruz County always sup
ported the late Franklin Delano
Roosevelt in his races for the
presidency.
At every election it gave him a
good handsome majority and to
each state Democratic convention
it sent delegates pledged for the
beloved FDR.
Of the 20 delegates elected from
Arizona to the Democratic national
conventions at Philadelphia in 1886
and Chicago, 1910 and 1944-the
conventions at which Franklin D.
Roosevelt was nominated for his
second, third and fourth terms
one was from this county-the pub
Usher of the Nogales international,
who was secretary of the 1886 and
1914 Arizona delegations.
That delegates newspaper, Incl
dentally, was the original Roosevelt
for-P President paper in Arizona back
in 1881.
At a county convention held last
spring at the home of the publisher,
who has been county Democratic
chairman for the past 10 years, the
members of the Santa Cruz County
Democratic Central Committee went
on record as favoring a delegation
from Arizona to the Chicago con-
vention pledged for a fourth term

Harry S. Truman didn't want to
be vice president!
IT wouldn't have the job he
said-and he said it in Phoenix on
April last year.
He wanted to remain Harry S.
Truman, United States Senator
from Missouri. AS senator, he
cherished the Craftsmanship of a
senate committee investigating the
war situation on the home front.
Yet, despite his modesty, he be-
came vice president.
And Arizona played a major role
in the 1914 Democratic National
Convention in making him the No.
2 man in Washington.
Mr.. Truman stopped in Phoenix,
while on war plant tour, to speak
word in behalf of Sen. Carl Hay
den's reelection.
He was met at Sky Harbor Air
port by Senator Hayden, Sam H.
Morris of Globe, Democratic nation
al committeeman for Arizona; and
others, including this writer.
Seated in Morris car, he was ask
ed for a press statement on rer
sistent national ruunor that hs
might be an aspirant for vice presi-
dent.
ST am not a candidate Mr.. Tru-
man asserted. IT don't want to be
vice president. "
He declared the chief purpose OF
his trip to Phoenix was to assist
Senator Hayden in winning re-
election.
REITERATES STAND ON
VICE PRESIDENCY
The evening of his arrival in
Phoenix, Mr.. Truman spoke at a
meeting for Senator Hayden at the
Hotel Westward Ho. After the seS-
sion. Morris, Hayden and Mr.. Tru-
man were invited to a private party
where they discussed political af-
fairs.
While the orchestra played THE
Missouri Walt" at Morris request
the chatter drifted back to the
vice presidency.
Morris recalled Saturday that Mr..
Truman reiterated his earlier state
ment that he didn't desire, and
wasn't seeking the vice presidency.
IT wouldn't have the job" Morris
quoted him as saying At the time,
! the Missourian was unaware big
fight would develop over renomina-
ton of Henry A. Wallace.
The matter was dropped until the
Chicago national convention, when
Mr.. Truman met Morris in the cor

Contents OF the note were not i'm.
