PRESIDENT’S FIRST SPEECH BRINGS 1
PRAISE—MRS. ROOSEVELT RESUMES
WRITING—STIMSON URGES MERGER
OF ARMY, NAVY AND AIR FOR
Visiting diplomats, Congressmen of both parties anil
newspapers have been unanimous in praising President
Truman’s first public address after assuming office in
which he reaffirmed at a joint session of Congress his
firm intention to carry on the late President Roosevelt’s
program for winning the war and the peace.
“It was wonderful,” commented Andrei Gromyko,
Soviet Ambassador to the U.S. Senate Majority Leader
Albin W. Barkley (D. — Ky.) said: “The address was
full of reassurance . .. . ”
Declaring that the “address was all it should have
been,” the NEW YORK TIMES said that Mr. Truman
had “risen to the occasion of a great moment of history
with a straightforward statement which carries deep
sincerity.”
Mrs. Roosevelt has resumed her newspaper column,
“My Day,” which had been suspended in the wake of
her husband’s death.
She wrote, in part: “Any man in public life is bound
.... to create certain enmities. But when he is gone his
main objectives stand out clearly, and may hope that
the spirit of unity may arouse the people and their
leaders to a complete understanding of those objectives
and a determination to achieve them.”
Army and Navy officers and enlisted men, who have
been prisoners of war, will receive special consideration
for promotions, the War and Navy Departments ann-
ounced recently in a joint statement.
The proposal for a post-war merger of the Army and
Navy into a single Department of National Defense has
received the personal endorsement of Secretary of War
Henry L. Stimson.
Sen. Lister Hill (D.-Ala.) has disclosed receipt of a
^letter from Stimson on the proposal which would em-
Jjbrace all the armed forces — Army, Navy and the Air
in a single Department.
Author of the legislation designed to set up such a
department, Hill intends to ask the Senate Military Af-
fairs Committee- to conduct hearings on his measure as
soon as possible.
The War Department has announced that it wouldn’t
complete 12 new tank plants scheduled to reach full
production by October because U.S. output now is con-
sidered sufficient to finish the European war and prov-
ide the necessary equipment for use against Japan.
Democratic and Republican leaders alike cracked the
whip recently on their brother Senators, scolding them
thoroughly for what they termed “chronic absenteeism”
and warning them they could he docked a day’s pay
unless they had good reason for not attending sessions.

IN STATE
Surrounded by an honor guard of enlisted men from
all branches of the Armed Forces, the casket of the late
President Roosevelt lies in honor in the East Room of the
White House, scene of many presidential gatherings while
he was chief executive. (ANS Photo). J
