AS THE guns of Americas fighting forces sounded ever closer
\ the doom of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, Franklin
Delano Roosevelt died in Warm Springs, Georgia, where he had
been resting for 10 days.
Death resulted from a cerebral hemorrhage at A. 5 p. m. on
April IL. Mr.. Roosevelt was GO. He had been President for IL
years, one month and nine days. The White House was announced
as the site of the funeral, with interment at the family estate at
Hyde Park, N. Y.
Less than four months had elapsed since he had taken his his
toric oath of office for a fourth term. Only a few weeks before he
had returned from the Yata conference where in company with
Marshal Stain of Russia and Prime Minister Churchill of Great
Britain he had labored to built an enduring peace.
Fate denied Franklin Roosevelt the chance to enjoy the fruits
of victory over the Axis. Yet history seemed destined to enshrine
him as one of the immortal American Presidents. And every citi-
zen who mourned the untinely passing of the Commander-in-
Chief felt that he was a casualty of the war just as every GIL,
Marine and Sailor who had fallen in battle.

Don Ruhl, Refinery Employee, Dies On Two Jima
By Throwing Self On Jap Grenade To Save Buddy

mother, Mrs. Edith Ruhl, lives at
Joliet.
The story was told by Tech. Sgt.
Reyes Beech, marine corps combat
correspondent, who had it from Sgt.
Kenneth d. Midkiff, %, Of Pax, w.
Va. Beech said:
Ruhl deliberately threw himself
on a hand grenade and in doing so
saved the life of at least one fellow
marine, Sgt. Henry o. Hansen, 25,
of S~ommerville, Mass. Ironically,
Hansen was killed later by enemy
fire.
1t happened Feb. 81 when 'E'
company was advancing against
enemy defenses at the base of
Mount Suribachi. 1t was men of
'E' company, incidentally, who raised
the American flag on Suribachi.
pictures of the flag raising have
appeared in newspapers and were
recently displayed in Life maya
zine.)
1--WE got word to move up" said
Midkiff. Zone of the first things
had to do was clear out some
barbed wire entanglements in front
of US.
"Ruhl moved up behind a Jap
bunker and Hansen followed him.
"They called for more grenades,
and we threw them the grenades.
Ruhl got up on the bunker and Han
sen went up after him. They
could get at the Nips better thay
way.
at was then that one of the Japs
threw a grenade up there. l heard
Ruhl yell, Hansen! grenadel' Then
Hansen told me this later-Ruhl
showed Hansen aside and fell on the
grenade.
Ruhl died instantly.
Hansen, who lived to help raise
the Stars and Stripes on Mount
Suribachi, was killed March 1 when
his outfit turned to fight on the
northern front.

may be maintained in helping win
the peace. He faces the long-range
job of guiding the nation to postwar
economic prosperity once Nazi Ger
many and Japan are finally defeated.
Known as a plain, modest
man who has not dramatized
himself personally, President
Truman nevertheless has DEM
OnStrated on many occasions
that he can be a leader of force
and determination. His work as
chairman of the Truman COM
mittee in the U. S. senate in
vestigating the conduct of the
war is cited as an example of
this. And his conduct of the
Vice Presidency has shown that
he can work successfully with
political leaders of both parties
in getting needed measures
passed and in reconciling OPP
posing points of view.
The 33rd President was born in
Lamar, Mo-, May 8, 1884, although
the home of the family for four
generations had been on a farm
near Independence, Mo.
Served in World War l.
When World War l broke out,
Truman became captain of Bat
terry ID in the field artillery Of
the 35th Division and saw &C.
ton at st. Mihiel and in the
Meuse-Argonne offensive.

Never before had an American
President died in wartime. Abra-
ham Lincoln fell under Assassin
Booths bullet just five days after
the surrender of General Lees army
at Appomattox in 1865. Woodrow
Wilson lived to see victory over
Germany in World War I, but he
fought a losing battle for the
League of Nations and died early
in 1924, a defeated leader. Many
historians believe Lincoln's great
ness might have been dimmed in
the conflicts over reconstruction
that followed the War Between the
States, just as Wilson'S prestige
was lost in the conflict over the
league that followed World War 1.
Thus Franklin Roosevelt, dying at
the height of his career just as vic
tory was to be achieved over Ger
many, seemed likely to live in his
tory as a great man.
AS the American people from
Main Street to Riverside Drive
mourned the death of Franklin
Roosevelt, their prayers went up
for his successor, Harry S. Truman.
For on the shoulders of this slight,
gray, 60-year-old M~issourian had
been laid a responsibility such as
no American President had ever
borne.
What the consequences of the
Presidents death would be to
the United States and the
world, time alone would tell.
But as Americans recovered
from their first shock at the
news, they quickly determined
two things. The war must be
prosecuted to as speedy and
victorious a finish as possible.
Lasting peace must be estab-
lished.
And so, regardless of party or of
past political differences, the peo-
pie have rallied behind Mr.. Truman.
The new President faces the i'm
mediate task of directing American
participation in the United Nations
blueprints for a permanent world
organization. He likewise faces the
responsibility of establishing work
ing relations with other members
of the Big Three, SO that the per-
sonal cooperation which existed be-
tween Franklin D. Roosevelt, Josef
Stain and Winston Churchill in
leading the Allies toward victory

Seattle's chances of winning the Pacific Coast League pennant are dwindling fast as the field moves into the last quarter of the 1945 season, the Portland Beavers hold a six and one-half game lead over the second-place RainierS. Last night the Beavers won a double header from Oakland by identical scores of l to o. And at the same time, Seattle was taking l4 to l shellacking at the hands of the Los Angeles Angels.
 Portland won it's double victory over the Oaks by virtue of superb pitching. The scheduled seven- inning curtain-raiser went 10 inn ings before the Beavers broke scoreless deadlock Southpaw Syd Cohen tossed five-hit ball to shade Mitch Chetkovich in their mound duel. In the nine-inning nightcap, Mandel Mosser allowed only two hits in out-pitching Johnny Ba- bich, who gave up six safeties.
 The Los Angeles Angels pounded two Seattle hurlers for 19 hits to win their IA to l triumph.

 ROUNDUP


 NEW YORK, Aug 17-If Ameri- can officials have their way, the next Olympic Games will be held "on a very sound amateur basis, even if they have to be on more modest scale" That's the opinion that Avery Brundage is carrying to the London meeting next week '. One of the men he left behind pointed out that the last few times the games were held, there was big argument as to whether. ski instructors should be allowed to compete; soccer players from many nations were paid for broken time" and gymnastics in structors could vie with their pupils. Strangely, he argued that ice hockey had remained strictly amateur although it has been more or less cash-and-carry game in the three major countries where it is played.
 It's believe it or not item, but Mike Jacobs publicity department insists it's true that Manager Frankie Jacobs actually exposed himself to hard work in order that Tony Janiro could become a big time boxer. The story is that when Tony, now 18. still was too young to get by as a pro, Jacobs took a job in a warehouse, lugging heavy cartons around, to pay the board bills. When Janiro finally came east for polishing. Frankie got time off afternoons to coach his protege but had to make it up by night work. The really incredible part is the statement: Frankie Jacobs never squawked" |"
