Politics
 -M- Passing

Political or otherwise no news this week can compare with the numbing announcement that came over the radio just about 6 o'clock Thursday evening. To use a very trite express ion, the nation was paralyzed. It took long seconds for the realization of what had happened to convey real meaning and real expression to peoples brains and tongues. Even now there are many who find 1t hard to accept the fact that tomor- TOW we are burying Franklin Delano Roosevelt-he who we dreamed with and hoped for the peace of a world in the not too distant future. Somehow or another people got the idea that Roosevelt was going to 60 on forever. Sure, we joked about his occupancy of the White House. about how Eleanor got around to every place imaginable, about the family'S domestic affairs, but w knew that the United States had {. real leader, one the nation could depend upon in the highest world councils. His death has occasionef more expressions of real sympathy than that of any other man of mod" ern times.

RALPH E. HARVEY
 DIES SUDDENLY
Prominent Employe of Miller X Peck Co. Strick=
 en at Lodge Meeting

Funeral services will be held Mon day for Ralph Edgar Harvey, 52, of West Cheshire, for many years a buyer for Miller & Peck Go.
 MT. Harvey died suddenly last night after being stricken while attending a meeting of Galilee Shrine, White Shrine Jerusalem, at Masonic Temple.
 He was taken in the police am- bulanc to Waterbury hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Dr. Edward H. Kirsch- baum, medical examiner, said death was caused by coronary occulsion.
 MT. Hrvey was born March l, 1893, in Bangor, Maine, the son of the late Edward and Emma Har- vey. A 32nd degree Mason, he was a member of Continental Lodge, A. F. and A. M.; Eureka chapter, of which he was past high priest; Clark Commandery, of which he was sentinel; Sphinx Temple, Hart ford; Naomi chapter. Order of Eastern Star, and the Order of Amaranth, and Waterbury council, Royal Arch MaSons.

 The funeral will be held Monday at 3:30 p. m. at the Alderson Flu neral Home, TO Central avenue, Rev. Alan Fairbank, pastor Bunker Hill Congregational church, off ciating. Friends may call at the funeral home tomorrow from to 5 and to g p. m.

Complexion
 Change Due
CCOntinued from Page D

Already established in the execu- tive offices of the White House, the new President will attend the funeral of his predecessor in the East Room where some POO of the senior domestic and foreign officials and some of their immediate fami- lies will gather The President and perhaps his wife and daughter will travel north tonight to Hyde Park where MT. Roosevelt will be buried Sunday morning.
 Among the men around Truman who will have great influence in this new administration If they want it are Leslie Biffle. the slight, quiet secertary of the Senate who has known the new President in- timately for ten years. Biffle is one of the few persons in Washington with a real passion Tor anonymity His long service as secretary to the Democratic majority and re- gently as secretary of the Senate has equipped him better than most men to keep the President informed of the temper of Congress.
 There is Hugh Fulton, who was counsel to the Truman committee which investigated the administra- tion's conduct of the war, a boyish- looking man of about 37 years, he already is on the White House scene. Max Lowenthal was an aid in earl fer investigations. There are Sam O'Neal, former St. Louis and Wash ington newspaper reporter who now is publicity director of the Demo- cratic National Committee, and Chairman Robert E. Hannegan, the committee head.
 James F. Byrnes has offered his services to the president in pri- vate capacity. Byrnes long was MT. Roosevelt's most effective spokes- man in the Senate. The president placed him on the Supreme Court, then enticed him to the White House to be more active in winning the war. Byrnes resinged this month as director of the Office of War Mobilization.
 Byrnes is regarded as strong man" The word is passing around Washington that the new president will want stronger men in certain positions That there will be cabinet changes is assumed here almost without dissent. MT. Truman's ten- oency to lean more to the conserva- tive wing of the emocratic party than did MT. Roosevelt would seem to assure that.
 It also is fact that Truman con- cedes his lack of mastery of some matters which require executive de- cision. MT. Roosevelt's habit of act- ing as his own secretary of this or that when tough decisions were to be made is not one MT. Truman is likely to adopt right away.
 Foreign relations is a field in which he certainly is not expert. It remains to be seen, therefore, whether the team which MT. Roose- welt placed in the State Department this year to carry out White House policies will be the team MT. Tru- man will need to participate more fully in the making of policies az well as carrying them out.

 More than 5000 people awaited the train at Salisbury, N. S., held back by cordon of troops. A dele gation of American Legionnaires placed flowers aboard in the name of the city. of the County of Rowan and of the nearby town of Spencer.

 Jena Captured
 The armored columns and truck riding doughboys racing up in their wake captured Pegau, Zeitz, Hetz- dorf and Jena, site of one of Na- poleons greatest military victories, against sporadic opposition.
 At the same time, aPtton's 11th Division stabbed out to the south and southeast in a double thrust thta carried into Bayreuth, 39 miles northeast of Nuremberg, and reach- ed a point 25 miles from the north western corner of Czechoslovakia.
 The Americans were meeting their stiffest resistance on the First Army front, where the Nazis appar- ently had committed strong forces to the defense of Leipzig, despite the fact that that city already had been by-passed by First and Third Army advances to the north and south.

 Other Ninth Division units fought into Doelzig, four miles due west of Leipzig, while the Third Armored Division battled into the western approaches to Halle and skirted the city's northern side to reach the Saale river line.
 Throughout the Halle-Leipzig area the Germans were fighting back hard with tanks and self-pro- pelled guns.

 The Fourth division spurte d through the 33-mile corridor be- tween the WeisSe and Mulde rivers yesterday and crossed the latter stream at a point about 47 miles east of Jena. There the Tanks were about 10 miles no tthwest of Chem nitz, less than 30 miles south-south- east of Leipzig and 43 miles west of Dresden.
 Flying columns of the Sixth Arm ored Division reached the west bank of the Mulde about 20 miles farther north last night, after a 25-mile dash eastward from the Pegau area, The complete disorganization of the German defenses indicated that the Americans would make the crossing in full stride, if they had not al- ready done so.
 Censored front dispatches placed the Sixth Armored Divisions spear head on the Mulde at point about 16 miles southeast of Leipzig, 38 miles west of Dresden and g miles west of the Middle Elbe.

 Narrowing Experience
 It shuddered there at 15,OOO feet and then started straight down for burning Tokyo. We dropped 1000 feet before the pilot, Capt. Rich ard Paquette, Burlington, Vt., got the plane under control. Smoke from the inferno below was billowing high past our plane and must have risen at least five miles into the air.
 The burning section on the ground was not composed of huge shooting flames It rather looked like an enormous bed of coals, smouldering and occasionally burst ing into separate punches ot flames.
 In that target area were the great Itadashi arsenal, two other great munitions plants and numerous smaller factories producing explo- sives, shells and chemicals.

 Litigation against the bus com- pany is based on injuries sustained by the two plaintiffs when a bus on which they were passengers was in- volved in collision with 6 car in West Hartford. The complaint states the two women were thrown to the floor by the impact and sus-, tained extensive injuries. Each seeks $10,000 damages.
 Among the other cases assigned for next week is the $15,00 suit brought by Frances BarnoSky of Watertown against Randolph Cloves of Waterbury and the Waterbury National Bank for fatal injuries sustained by Julia Barnosky in 8 fire last Oct. 26.
 Gloves is named a defendant in the suit for allegedly causing the fire at 151 Hillside avenue by throw ing lighted cigarette butt into a paper waste basket, while the bank, owner of the building under the will of Mamie B. Cloves. is charged with negligence for failing to provide a fire escape and for allowing use of the attic to the victim, . maid at the home.
 The defendants have filed a spe- cial defense claiming the victim was aware of the structural condition of the building and knew of the means of exit in the event of a fire. They also allege the maid was in- jured by her own careless conduct" in that she did not take steps to prevent being overcome by smoke fumes. in that she did not act sea- sonably to avoid the fumes by go- ing to a window in her room, and in that she did not await rescue by the fire department but plunged headlong from her third-story window.
