Elsewhere on the combined flood of the Mississippi, Red and Ouachita Rivers the situation was improved or unchanged. The Mississippi River crest was past Natchez, the Red River crest in the vicinity of Alexandria, and the Ouachita's highest stages in the Monroe, area.

The United States Army engineers rushed materials to the Poland section, about 18 miles below Alexander on the south bank of the Red, to build a setback levee around the weak spot. While this was being done draglines, bulldozers and trucks were put in use repairing the caving levee in an attempt to hold it until the ring is completed.

(JP) The crippled Warm Springs friends of Franklin Delano Roosevelt dear to his heart bade him a last silent and sorrowful farewell today. In wheel chairs, the Warm Springs Foundation patients who are using the tepid spring waters to help them use their legs again, watched with heads bowed as the motor hearse bearing the body of the President paused on its way to the train. They formed a semi-circle in front of the white columned portico of the foundation's big administration building in the neart of the shady, cottaged studded reservation. More than a hundred of the 128 patients were there. Some of them had their legs in casts or braces.

A few cases could not leave their beds. But all who could possibly be wheeled out were there. An intent and sad faced group. from tiny tots to a few years to middle aged men and women, victims of the same malady about which medical science knows little that struck the late President years ago. Saturday Set (Continued From Page 1) around the world.

But most formalities of mourning were set aside in official orders on account of war conditions. Even memorial services for the armed forces were limited to those times and places where war conditions permit. President's Proclamation The presidential proclamation said of Mr. Roosevelt: "The leader of his people a great war, he lived to see the assurance of the victory, but not to share it. He lived to see the first foundations of the free and peace ful world to which his life was dedicated, but not to enter on that world himself.

"His fellow countrymen will sorely miss his fortitude and faith and courage in the time to come. The peoples of the earth who love the ways of freedom and hope will mourn for him. "But though his voice is silent, his courage is not spent his faith is not extinguished." The new President then voiced his confidence that that faith and courage will live on in the hearts of the people and concluded: "Now, therefore, Harry S. Truman, president of the United States of America, do appoint Saturday next April 14, the day of the funeral service for the dead President as a day of mourning and prayer throughout the United States. I earnestly recommend the people to assemble on that day in their respective places of divine worship, there to bow down in submisnion to the will of Almighty God, and to pay out of full heart their homage of love and reverence to the memory of the great and good man whose death they mourn." Commemorative Service Krug aid commemorative services "might well be held" wherever plants so desire.
