Franklin Roosevelt
Laid To Rest
At Hyde Park
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL
HYDE PARK, N. Y., April 15—
<F) —As President Truman looked
on with face frozen in grief,
FVanklyn D. Roosevelt was com
mitted to the warm, brown earth
of his native soil under a cloud
less spring sky. The body of the
late Chief Executive was lowered
solemnly into the grave in the
lower garden of his family estate.
Waiting with strained faces
were members of his family, dig
nitaries of the Government, lit
tle sad-faced groups of plain peo
ple—employees on the place,
neighbors from the country side.
A detail of grey-clad cadets
from West Point fired three vol
leys in farewell salutes. A bugler
played “taps”. Its sweet but still
notes echoing through the wooded
estate. Soldiers, sailors and ma
'tines who held the American flag
®ver the casket folded it anrii
banded it to Mrs. Roosevelt. A few'
*t£Ps to the rear Presidnet Tru
«nan stood with dim eyes and low
ered head. There was a hush, then
in that moment of supreme grief
be squared his shoulders, as if to
assume completely and finally the
enormous burden left by the
death of Mr. Roosevelt.
Franklyn D. Roosevelt had left
a great task unfinished, but had
blazed, for his successor, paths he
believed would lead most surely
to a swift victory at arms and to
world peace and plenty.
The garden where Mr. Roose
elt rests lies between the family
borne where he was bom sixty
three years ago and the library
which houses his State papers and
gifts from the world which recog
nized him as one of the preemin
inant leaders. The body had been
brought here overnight from
Washington where the State fun
eral was held yesterday in the
East Room of the White House.
His Cabinet, the Supreme Court,
representatives from other lands,
members of the Senate and House
of Representatives and other high
officials in public life accompan
ied it. It was removed from the
special train along side the shim
mering Hudson just below the
hills which sweep up to the es
tate.
The casket was placed on a cais
son driven slowly along between
lines of men in uniform standing
stiffly alert to honor their late
Commander in Chief. Behind the
caisson a Negro cavalryman led a
black horse draped in black and
carrying a sabre, both symbolic of
Mr. Roosevelt’s position as head of
the nation’s military froces. It j
was exactly ten a.m. eastern war !
time, when the first gun of the
Presidential salute was fired from
the battery in the library grounds
in the east quarter-acre garden.
Then boomed solemnly at spaced
intervals. The Honor Guard lining
the helmolck hedge around the
garden stood at attention. A few
moments later the distant melody (
of a bugle came to those within
the garden while a flight of bomb
ers and other training planes
droned overhead.
