Remains of Late President Carried 10 White House
 Burial on Sunday

lin DelanO Roosevelt returned to- day in death to the White House, graced longer than by any other President, while the whole people paused in grief as the cortage bear- ing his body, drew silently up to the White House door at 11:14 o'clock, Eastern time, at the end of the long train trip from Warm Springs.
 The body of the late Chief Exe-l cutive was met at the Union Sta-' tion by President Harry s. Truman. and Government leaders and the re- mains were borne slowly and mourn: fully along the broad Constitution Avenue on flag draped Army caisson
 So thick was the swarm of specta- tors, that station police were still untangling the traffic half an hour later.
 Thousands lined the streets and murmured only in whispers as the casket passed.
 The caisson was preceded by a guard of all the Military Services.
 In Cortege
 In the first car behind the cais- son was Mrs Roosevelt, Anna, the only daughter; and Brig. Gen. FL liott Roosevelt, second son.
 In the second car were Col. John Boettiger and the wives of the Roosevelt sons.
 President Harry s. Truman, Sec retary of Commerce Henry A. Wal lace and James Byrnes rode in the third car, flying American and Presidential flags.
 Many along the route were in tears
 As the procession entered the White House grounds President Truman's car swung out of line, and the new Chief Executive dismount- ed to the steps of the Executive Wing, entering there.
 The caisson halted before the main White House columned porti- co, where the casket was borne by uniformed members of the Armed Forces, followed slowly by Mrs, Roosevelt and members of the fam fly, as the Navy Band, which had so often greeted him with the joyous Hail to the Chief, played the Star Spangled Banner.
 Silence Is Deep
 The silence of the throngs was so, deep even the chirping of birds on the White House lawn could be dis tinctly heard.
 Within the White House, the cas- ket was placed on a carrier and wheeled straight forward across the glittering bronze, seal-embedded lobby floor, then into the famed East Room, where there were no flags and the red drapes of the room were not drawn.
 Resting beneath the glass en- closure of the casket, the body, dressed in grayish blue business suit, grayish blue foreinhand tie and a white, soft-collared shirt, looked younger in death than when laI seen by friends in Washington.
 Goodbye"
 Outside on the lawn, service band played Abide With Me-. At 4 o'clock this afternoon. the nation officially bids goodbye with simple, solemn funeral services.
 Tonight, the body will be taken to Hyde Park, for burial at the family home tomorrow.
 Radio Speech Released
 As the funeral train rolled north ward yesterday, the radio speech Roosevelt was to deliver at Warm Springs at the Jefferson Day ban quet, was made public
 The speech was finished Wednes- day and in it he left the heritage to his fellow Americans to work for peace and not only to end the war but to end the beginnings of all wars, yes, an end to this brutal, in- human and thoroughly impractical method of settling differences be- tween Governments"
 In tile address, Roosevelt went on ta say the enemy was taking terri ble licking, but mere conquest of our aTfnies is not enough. We must co on and do all in our power toI conquer the doubts, fears. ignorance
