Roosevelt's Example
To World Extolled in
Congress Memorial
By Carter Brooke Jones
The counsel and example of the
late President Roosevelt were ex
tolled today as Congress, joined by
President Truman, turned aside for
an hour from the economic crisis
and other besetting problems to pay
tribute to the man who occupied the
White House for 12 turbulent years.
In the memorial address at a
solemn joint session in the House
chamber, John G. Winant, United
States representative on the United
Nations Economic and Social Coun
cial and former Ambassador to
England, said of Mr. Roosevelt: "He
dared to act. It is not always that
those who have the courage to see
have the courage to act on what
they see. Franklin Roosevelt acted.
In two great crises, one within, the
other without, his acts changed his
tory.”
Mr, Winant added: "He believed.
There was no American of his time
who believed more deeply in Amer
ica than he and no believer in de
mocracy who had a firmer faith in
man.”
Dared to Hope.
Further summing up his concep
tion of the late President's creed,
Mr. Winant said: “Most important
of all perhaps for us who have out
lived him, he dared to hope. There
was never a time in the dark years
of the depression or the black years
of the war when he lost hope. And
as the end of the war drew near and
the end of his life with it, his hope
grew greater, grew beyond the war
beyond the victory, to peace. He
dared to hope for peace, to believe
in peace and to act for peace."
Joining in the tribute were the
cabinet, justices of the Supreme
Court and members of the diplo
matic corps. Mr. Winant spoke
above a bank of lilies and ferns,
the only decoration in the hushed
chamber.
Mrs. Roosevelt sat on an aisle seat
in the second row. Beside her was
Josephus Daniels, the veteran North
Carolina editor who was Woodrow
Wilson's Secretary of the Navy.
Next on the row sat the late Presi
dent’s son, Elliott Roosevelt; his wife
and two children. Next to them
were two members of Mr. Roose
velt's cabinet, Henry Morgenthau,
former Secretary of the Treasury,
and Mrs. Prances Perkins, who was
Secretary of Labor.
President Truman sat immediate
ly in front of and to the left of the
speaker's stand. Across the aisle
from him was the new Chief Justice.
Fred M. Vinson and beyond him the
other Justices of the Supreme Court.
Five Senators Stay Away.
Senators Brooks of Illinois,
Hawkes of New Jersey, Robertson
of Wyoming. Moore of Oklahoma,
and Stanfill of Kentucky, all Repub
licans, remained in the Senate
chamber as other members filed out
to attend the services.
The Marine Band Orchestra, con
cealed in the speaker's lobby, played
a memorial program for half an
hour before the ceremony began,
and members of the House filed in
gradually. When all were seated,
the Representatives stood as mem
bers of the Senate arrived in a body.
The doorkeeper then announced
other distinguished guests as they
arrived, the chiefs of staff of the
armed services, other high officials
of the government and ambassadors
and ministers from many foreign
countries.
Opening the program. Speaker
Rayburn said Congress and through
it the whole country wanted to pay
tribute to "a man who was loved and
honored not only in this country,
but by the whole world.’’
“Claimed New World.’’
In his invocation, the Rev. James
Shera Montgomery, chaplain of the
House, spoke of the man “who
strode through the years and
claimed a new world."
Mr. Winant said: "The final esti
mate of Franklin Roosevelt's
achievements will not be made by
us or in this room. It will be made
elsewhere and later and by men
who will judge all of us, not him

Meed Will Demand
Investigation of WAA
By the Associated Press
SYRACUSE, N. Y.. July 1.-Chair
man Mead of the Senate War In-i
vestigating Committee announced I
last night that he would demand
a “sweeping investigation" of the
War Assets Administration, and
predicted that the agency would
undergo “a drastic sh&keup" affect*
ing high officials.
Senator Mead issued this state
ment to newsmen following a sur
prise inspection tour of the New
York State Pair Grounds, where he
viewed stores of surplus material.
He was accompanied by Raymond
H. Jackson, Syracuse University
purchasing agent.
"It is my objective,” he said, "to
determine immediately, item for
item, just -what the War Assets Ad
ministration has in these Govern
ment warehouses, and to demand an
exodus of each and every item that
is essential to veterans' housing
problems."
He added that "bureaucratic
agencies of government like the
WAA serve no good purpose."
Senator Mead said he had in
formation of 6,000 tons of surplus
materials at the depot, including
stainless steel, aluminum, sewing
machines and tractors, only 600
tons had been sold in recent months,
and that it co6t $250,000 a month
to operate the depot. He added that
“this same situation is prevalent
throughout the Nation."
