 warm Springs, Ga. April l3- (UP)-Franklin D. Roosevelt leaves at n e. m. EWT today on his last journey to the White House.
 His body rests in q copper-lined, mahogany casket.
 Four servicemen stood watch as a Ruard of honor over him as the special train that brought him here for rest was prepared for the sad return.
 The train will make . slow run to Washington. It is scheduled to arrive in the capitals Union station ct 10 a. m. EWr tomorrow.
 Mrs. Roosevelt, bearing her sor- row brayely, flew here to make the journey back to Washington.
 The president died at 4:35 D. m. EWT yesterday of cerebral hem ofrhage that struck him 2 l-2 hours earlier. Death came to him in Q small bedroom of "the little White House" at the Warm Springs Foun- daticn, his "other home" He was @,
 Funeral services will be held in the east room of the White House at p. m. EWT tomorrow. At 10 ?. m. the same day, the funeral party will leave Washington by train for the ancestral Roosevelt estate on the Hudson at Hyde Park, N. Y. It win arrive there at g a. m. EWT Sunday.
 The president will be buried at 10 .. m. Sunday in the sunlit garden between his Hyde Park home and the Franklin D. Roosevelt library . garden bordered by a hemlock hedge and profusion of rose bush es.
 Those who arranged for the de- parture here made certain that the patients at Warm Springs-like him victims of infantile paralysis-would have 8 chance to say goodbye to the man who was their champion and inspiration.
 They arranged 1t SO the process sion to the train would drive slowly past Georgia Hall, the main build ing of the foundation and the first place the president always went when he came here. The patients will be lined up in their wheel chairs.
 MT. Roosevelt had been in slowly ailing health for more than a year, but no one knew that he was sui fertng from any critical organic weakness. The first foreshadowing of death came at about 2 D. m. EWT yesterday.
 The President suddenly put his hand to the back of his head and said he had "a terrific headache. /" They were the last words he ever spoke. He tainted a few minutes later and never regained conscious ness.
 After the services in the White House on Saturday, the funeral party going to Hyde Park will in- clude the cabinet, heads of govern naent agencies, members of repre- sentatives and senators, supreme court justices, members of the fam fly, and some of the Presidents close friends.
 The Roosevelt family was being summoned to Washington. Two sons : now overseas will not be able to attend the funeral-Lt. John and It. Oomdr. Franklin, Jr, both on the Navy-but their wives will be there. Other family members at the serv- ices will include Col. and Mrs. James Roosevelt and Brig. Gen. and Mrs. Elliott Roosevelt. Elliott is coming from Europe.
 Until the burial, the Presidents body will be guarded "A hours day by four sentries chosen from enlisted men of the Navy, the Army and the Marine Corps. The sentries were posted at each of the four corners of the coffin and will be rotated in regular shifts.
 This was the orly guard of honor 7 planned now. There were no plans for the President to lie in state in 7 Washington.
 White House Secretary Stephen T. Early, who accompanied Mrs. Roose- welt here from Washington, said she bore her grief very nobly-in fact, she was heroic"
 Shortly after she reached the little White House, Mrs. Roosevelt went into seclusion. Previously, however, she had discussed the funeral plans with members of the staff and reached quick, o:sarcut decisions for the simple rites which she felt the President would have wanted.
 All through last night the Presi- dents staff worked at a feverish pace Nr "the boss, as they called him. Hundreds of Warm Springs and Meriwether county neighbors wanted to stop by and shake hand and offer a word of consolation, but marine and secret service guards stopped them at the gates to the Foundation.
 The Presidents death brought big city turbulence to this normally placid little village. Scores of report ers, photographers and radio repre- sentatives poured in by the hour. Few of them were admitted to the foundation grounds.
 While MT. Roosevelt lay dying yesterday, a large party of his friends were waiting for him to ap- pear at an old-faShioned barbecue given by Mayor Frank Allcorn of Warm Springs. The Brunswick stew was bubbling in 8 huge cook pot, country fiddlers were playing "the Cat and the Chicken" and every
