Star War Correspondent,

ROME, April 13-This is the way
the news of President Roosevelt s
death came to Rome as I saw it.
1t was midnight here. There was
q party and people were singing
and drinking and some one was
playing the piano. The telephone
rang and a girl who works for the
United Nations news service went
to answer 1t at table in the
corner.
At first, Of course, nobody paid any
attention to her conversation. First
she said, Eyes, this is she" Then
she said, "What2"-very loudly, in
a high pitched, strained voice.
A few people near her stopped
what they were doing and turned to
listen. Then she said slowly, MY
God, that's quite a flash"
She hung up, then said very
softly, president Roosevelt is dead"
Piano Stops.
Somehow or other everybody in
the room heard what she said. The
piano stopped playing.
For five minutes after that first
shocking silence nobody said a
coherent sentence. There were Just
helpless, cropping phrases and ex-
clamations. You had a feeling people
understood the words they had
heard, but did not understand the
idea. They were not talking to
any one in particular but only to
themselves.
The first rational remark I heard
was. "A lot Of people who didn't
know it before are going to realize
tomorrow what man he was"
Then the girl who had answered
the telephone first put into words
what seemed to me everybody's
initial reaction: But what are we
going to do?"
I went downstairs to tell the
italian taxi driver waiting for some
guests that he would have to wait
a while longer. I told him the
President was dead. 1t was dark
in the street so could not see his
face, but I heard what he said.
He said, "Dio."
AS I turned to go back into the
house he said it again. softly and
to himself, just like the people up
stairs.
Talk Is Limited.
In the room they had recovered
enough to talk again, but they did
not talk much.

those who knew each other best

this. It was frightening thing and
people needed help.
Silences Longer.
After the rest had gone the
silences were longer. Finally an
artillery major said what had been

time: "Of all the things in the
world that could have happened at

Many wanted to know about plans
for the funeral.
Phone Lines Jammed.
The citys telephone system was
virtually paraly2ed for a while after
the first flashes spread over town.
So many people tried to call news
paper Offices or radio stations to
verify what they had heard or learn
further details that for time many
were unable even to get the dial
tone. Many lines we're tied up COM
pletely for time.
While no figures had been COM
piled by the Chesapeake 6, Potomac
Telephone Co., officials said it un-
doubtedly was one of the heaviest
loads on record. Strangely enough,
long distance calls increased for a
while, along with local calls. Every
available operator of duty was sum-
moned to work.
The tremendous furry Of phone
activity soon began falling of, how
ever, and by $3.50 it had dropped to
normal.
All four major radio networks cam
celled their regular commercial pro-
grams for the evening and confined
themselves to news of the Presidents
death and resulting developments;
tributes, consequences and specu-
lation of impending changes. Music
appropriate to the occasion was
played between news broadcasts and
commentaries.
The country's tragedy quickly
stilled the merriment of Washing
tons night life. Night clubs stopped
their entertainment, and hotels
halted music and dancing. Such
programs as Xavier Cugat's at the
Statler Embassy Room and the
shows at the Cartons Congo, the
Wardman Parks Metronome and
the Shorehams Blue Room were
dispensed with. Only food service
was maintained.
The Del Rio, Trade Winds and Bal
alaika night clubs Cancelled their
programs at once. An exception
was Helen Hamiltons Club Troika
which continued its floor show and
dancing.
Theater Shows Continue.
Theater managements handled
the situation in different ways,
though shows were continued.
At the Loew's houses-the Capitol,
Palace and Columbia-the news was
withheld from patrons. Carter Bar
ron, division manager, explained
that this was q precaution to pre-
vent possible disorder.

DIM0ND TAXES OATH A5 JUDGE; pRE5lDES
 FIRST COURT SESSION

Judge Anthony J. Dimond pre- sided at his first court session since taking the oath of office as Fed eral Judge of the Third Judicial Division of Alaska on January 4 in Anchorage. A naturalization case and a few minor matters were on the calendar for the open ing session, with the new judge presiding. At the close of court in the afternoon, Judge Dimond went to Palmer to be speaker at a dinner of the Young Mems Club.
 Judge Dimond was administered the oath of office in the office of the Clerk of the Court on January 2, with no fanfare and only of ficials present. He immediately made two out of three appoint ments which were awaiting his ac- ton. Mrs. Elaine Daly was ap- pointed as official court reporter and Maurice Brunelle was reap. pointed as Clerk of the Court Their respective oaths of office were administered at once. No action was taken regarding the appoint ment of a successor to the late Thomas c. Price as United States Commissioner for the Anchorage precinct, and Miss Rose Walsh will continue as acting commissioner.
 Judge Dimond arrived in Anch- orage shortly before Christmas from Washington, D. O., where for 12 years he had been Delegate to Congress from Alaska. As judge he succeeds Judge Simon Helen thai, who recently retired after serving as judge in the Third Di- vision for 12 years.
 On December 30, Judge Dimond was the guest of the Anchorage Bar Association at luncheon held lat the Alta Club. The affair was informal and the attorneys dis cussed matters of general interest, including legislation proposed for the coming session in Juneau.

SURVEY OF ALA5kA
 HOUSING SHORTAGE STARTS IN JUNEAU

George w. Coplen, Regional Rep resentative of the National War Housing Agency for the Pacific Northwest, is studying the war hous- ing needs of Juneau today, having arrived here Tuesday afternoon.
 The survey, which will also include Anchorage, Fairbanks, Nome and Ketchikan, is being made for the purpose of estimating the housing needs of Alaska, he said. The esti- mate will be submitted to Washing ton on completion, and an approval may possibly be expected by March l.
 Immediately on approval, he said, accumulation of building materials will be started, and building may possibly get underway about May l.
 Coplen said that while the Ma tional War Housing Agency is quite conscious of the housing shortage in Alaska, the extent of the short age is not known. That is the purpose of this study he said.
 He plans to spend several days in Juneau studying the local situation, but after only few hours he was able to report, There obviously ap- pears to be very tight situation here"
 The mere shortage of living ac- commodations, however, does not make community eligible for hous- ing projects. The needs are de- termined on community study based on the needs of war workers and those in essential industries and related war work
 Already moves have been made to relieve the situation of individuals who have been wanting to build liv- ing quarters and have been unable to do so because of material short ages. Priority ratings have now been made available for the con- struction of private dwellings.

But even if so flattering an appraisal were merited, we'd know that the attractiveness of this USO is due in no small measure to our good fortune in being located in a con- munity possessed of so many nat ural advantages of which we are a beneficiary and for which we deserve no credit.

 FACULTY PARTIES, USO STYLE
 When we were in college there used to be Faculty Tea Parties given on Sunday afternoons We cannot remember why it was, but for some reason possibly real, more likely imaginary we person. ally steered clear of them. We must have thought we'd be bored.
 Nowadays, in the strange way that life has of playing it's little jokes, we find ourselves actually sponsoring Faculty Tea Parties,- more accurately, Faculty Coffee Parties"-in the USO every Sunday afternoon. Whats more, we keep urging our servicemen friends to attend them, with every assurance they won't be bored in doing so. Quite the opposite.
 For nearly two years the club has been serving coffee, with waffles or cakes and cookies, at 5:30 on Sundays. But it wasn't until several months ago that we could count regularly on the one feature which, more than any other, makes these affairs particularly appeal ing to the large number of men who partake regularly, serving of the food by charming young ladies who are teachers in the Juneau schools
 Yes, these Faculty Coffee Hours are especially popular these days because while Ruth Brooks plays the piano and Pat Goodell presides over the making of the waffles, their fellow school in the persons of Ruth Holbrook, Edith Moore, Mary Morris and Evelyn Ohlson, and sometimes others, are busily engaged in dispensing, not the time-honored three R's", but instead the three C's" (coffee cake and cookies).
 It's been said that our director has a faculty for remembering names. Here at least he has a Faculty of names we'll worth re- membering!

Under heading such as Hail to the Hamburger" we might well have sung the praises of the most popular of all the foods served there. Certainly there's no doubt that report on the total of these sandwiches served over the two years of the clubs exist ence would reveal staggeringly large number of tons of chopped beef used in making them.
