Campus, City Receive Death Notice 'With Shocked Incredulity, Sorrow 10b te T o w~> sevelts Ideals Leade rk v ..:F te From By PAUL SISLIN The reaction of campus and city to the news of the death of Presi- dent Roosevelt was that of shocked disbelief. First radio announcement came at 5:45 p.m. as Ann Arborites were pre- paring for dinner. In the Michigan Union students were filing through the cafeteria line as a broadcast was interrupted to relay the news that the President was dead. Diners con- gregated around the loudspeakers of the Union radio and listened to the bulletins reporting the tragedy. At The Daily, students crowded around the Associated Press teletype messages to read of the news. A series of phone-calls inquired "was it really true?'" Meanwhile, Dr. Ruthven an- nounced that the University pro- gram would go on as usual today. Plans for memorial services would be held in abeyance until confer- ence with faculty members could be held. The program announced for the carillon recital yesterday was abrup- tly changed. Prov. Percival Price substituted Chopin's "Funeral Mar- ch," the Death March from "Saul" by Handel and a selection from Ver- di's "Requiem" as a memorial to the President.

Although there was no definite' word about changes at this time, friends have predicted that if Harry Truman became President one of his first acts would be to place Hugh Fulton, New York and Washington attorney, in the attorney-general's post. 4 MONTH INTENSIVf Course for College Students and Graduates A tborough, intensive course-start- ing. cbruary, July, October.

Pending further notification the Army units on campus will continue with the usual routine today, he add- ed. Capt. W. V.

Capital residents took first news of the Presi- dent's death today with a shocked unbelief which left them literally stunned into momentary speechless- ness. News of the chief executive's pass- ing came to 'the British Embassy by a phone call, as an Associated Press reporter was standing by. The entire office froze into various positions of incredulous immobility. For a full ten seconds not a soul spoke. Then one attache simply blur- ted, "My God!" and the tension broke. Someone else said, "He hasn't looked at all well lately," and still another Englishman added, "It's the beastly changeable weather," but it all obviously was small talk. Finally the attache voiced the thoughts of the others: "I wonder what it will mean-to the war." No- body answered him. When another reporter rushing downtown told a Negro cab driver the news, he refused to believe it at first. Then he said slowly: "I'm sorry to hear that, man, but I'm sorry to hear that!" As I got out of the cab he added, "I wonder what it will mean to us-if anything. I wonder." An American Army major on a downtown corner shook his head un- believingly and asked: "It's really true?" Assured that it was, he said: "Well, now he's next to Lincoln- in more ways than one." He walked on down the street, still looking dazed. Marine trainees stationed in Ann Arbor would await definite instruc- tions from headquar'ters at Great Lakes, Ill, Professors asked for comment ex- pressed the universal reaction of shock and surprise. Dean E. Blythe Stason of the Law School called the President's death "one of the world's greatest tragedies in view of the problems of completing the war and winning the peace and reconverting the country to a peacetime economy." "One is so shocked . . . one doesn't know what to say," Prof. I. L. Sharf- man, head of the economics depart- ment, declared. "One is too stunned to say very much at this moment. The loss both to the nation and the world is incal- culable. Much may be changed in both the domestic and international spheres but it is our hope that the goals the President was striving for will be achieved through the in- creased unity of effort," he said. Prof. L. G. Vander Velde, of the history department, was "too shock- ed to make any comment." Prof. Preston Slosson, of the his- tory department, called Truman "a Roosevelt man in the main who probably will follow his foreign and domestic policies. Unfortun- ately he is practically unknown to Europe so that he will not have the prestige in European councils that Roosevelt would have had." "A great loss to the country- that's about all anybody can say," Prof. D. L. Dumond, of the history department, stated. Prof. Harold M. Dorr, of the political science department, called the President's death "as tragic as the death of Lincoln." About Mr. Truman: "I think Truman is hon- est, sincere, well-intentioned but far too inexperienced, especially in the field of foreign affairs." Mrs. Roosevelt Fli 0es to Georgia WASHINGTON, April 12._ _()- Mrs. Roosevelt left the White House at 7:15 to fly to Warm Springs. As she came out of the White House door she kissed her daughter Anna, Mrs. Jhn Boettiger, good- bye. Mrs. Boettiger remained at the White House. Mrs. Roosevelt was accompanied by Stephen Early, presidential secre tary and Admiral Ross T. McIntyre, the President's personal physician. Mrs. Roosevelt received the news of her husband's death by telephone, She was attending an afternoon ben- efit for a Washington charity which was being held at the Sulgrave Club. She went to the phone, spoke a few words, put down the receiver, and walked out to her car without a word to anyone. FD's Health Always in Doubt WASHINGTON, April 12.- (IP)-- President Roosevelt's health had been a subject of public specugation ever since his first campaign for the presidency, in 1932. The latest of a series of periodic reports that he was ill bobbed up only last December, when he spent three weeks at Warm Springs-an unusually long period for wartime. Rumors flooded Washington that the Chief Executive was undergoing an operation. But when he returned to Washington, tanned and looking rested, Vice-Admiral Ross T. McIn- tyre, his personal physician, pro- nounced himself "pleased" with the President's condition. Across Ensaddened Count Dewey, Marshall, Vandenbery EogizeNainsGetLdr By ITe Associated Press (New York)-Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York tonight declared that President Roosevelt would be mourned "as a human being of warm human qualities and great capaci- ties." "It remains for all of us to preserve and strengthen our national unity in waging the war to total, uncompom- rising victory over all our enemies," the 1944 Republican presidential candidate said, adding: "Coming to leadership of the na- tion at a critical period in our eco- nomic life he brought his courage and indomitable spirit to the task of meeting the most difficult of national problems, inspiring the people- with fresh confidence and establishing basic liberal reforms." Earlier, Dewey telegraphed Mrs. Roosevelt: "Please accept our deep- est sympathy in your great loss which will be shared by every Ameri- can and mourned by all the freedom- loving people of the entire world." Mayor F. H. La Guardia of New York-"It is the greatest loss the peace-loving people of the world have suffered in the entire war. The shock is so great that it is extremely diffi- cult for one to realize fully what has happened. There is only one thing we can all do as good Americans-to pay adequate tribute to this war casualty-and that is to unite in carrying out his ideals for world jus- tice and permanent peace." Sen. Vandenberg (Rep., Mich.) -President Roosevelt leaves an imperishable imprint on the his- tory of America and the world. Those who disagree with him have always recognized his amazing gen- ius in behalf of his always vigor- ous ideals. Former President Herbert Hoover -"The nation sorrows at the passing of its President. Whatever differen- ces there may have been, they end in the regret of death. It is fortunate that in this great crisis of war our Armies and Navies are under such magnificent leadership that we shall not hesitate. The new President will have the backing of the country. While we mourn Mr. Roosevelt's death, we shall march forward." "Oh my God," whispered Sen. Murdock (Dem., Utah) when ad- vised of the news. "It's just a catastrophe for the whole world. His loss is irreparable." Sen. Saltonstall (Rep., Mass.) - "He died as a true soldier, fighting in his country's cause. His administra- tion will go down as one of the most momentous in the life of our coun- try. Sen. Taft (Rep., 0.) , "The death of Franklin Delano Roose- velt removes the greatest figure of our time at the very climax of his career, and shocks a world to which his words and actions were more important than those of any other man. Philip Murray, President of the CIO-"The nation and the world have lost a great leader and a great soldier and labor its noblest friend." Gov. Hlarry F. Kelly (Rep., MVich.) --"The people of Michigan and the freedom loving people of the world are stunned tonigit as our President and Commander-in-Chief Franklin Delano Roosevelt is taken from us at a time when our armed forces are so successfully advancing toward vic- tory. "He would want us, in this hour of grief, to redouble our efforts for that victory and the world-wide peace that he gave himself so unstintingly to bring about." Gen. George C. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff-"We have lost a great leader. His far-seeing wis- dom in military counsel has been a constant source of courage to all of us who have worked side-by- side with him from the dark days of the war's beginning. No tribute from the' Army could be so elo- quent as the hourly record of the victories of the past few weeks." Treasury Secretary Henry Morgen- thau-"It has been my unique priv- ilege to have served him for two years in Albany and for over 12 years here in Washington, and I know what a really great man he was." Harold L. Ickes, Interior Secretary -"We have been fortunate, during the world crisis, to have given to civilization and the world the great- est leader in the history of our coun- try.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Presi- dent Roosevelt's death caused tem- porary uncertainty today about some of the mechanics of post-war world organization, but is expected to have no effect on basic United States pol- icy in the field of foreign affairs. This policy, as set forth by Demo- crats and Republicans alike, calls for defeating Germany and Japan and, seeking to create a lasting peace. Time for Adjustment It will take some time, of course, for the new President, Harry S. Tru- man, to get into touch with all the multitudinous details of world af- fairs. Also Mr. Roosevelt had established direct, cordial friendships with Prime Minister Churchill and Marshal Sta- lin and no one else can immediately replace him in that work. Work To Go Forward The big question immediately was what effect his death will have on the post-war world, specifically the attempt to draft a world organiza- tion at the forthcoming United Na- tions meeting in San Francisco. The chief executive and his two Secretaries of State, Cordell Hull and Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., have so far translated their ultimate goals into established policies that it was considered certain the work would go forward even with out thc Presidcut's guiding hand. Plans Previously Made The same thing appeared to he true of the conduct of the war. The final strategy for defeating Germany was laid down during the Big 'Ihree meeting at Yalta in February-a meeting that took Mr. Roosevelt on his last long journey to meet the leaders of the other great Allied pow- ers There have been some indications that there too the President at least gained an inkling and his military chiefs some idea of the Russian atti- tude toward the Pacific war so that it may be said that the -broad lines of strategy for finally crushing Japan have also been made hard and fast. : (,Itcies C in college costuJmes are by - s modern phenomena.
