20. (JP) President Roosevelt began another four years in the White House today and, in a sternly simple ceremony, dedicated the nation to achieving "total victory in war" and "a durable peace." Against a background of wintry white and under leaden skies, Mr. Roosevelt solemnly rested his hand on an ancient family Bible and rePeated after Chief Justice Stone the oath that made him America's first. fourth-term President.

He said: "If we meet that testsuccessfully and honorablywe shall perform a serviee Of historic importance which men and women and children will honor throughout all time." Spectators Hushed From the south portico of the White House, which he himself selected for the scene of the third war-time inauguration in history, the President surveyed a hushed park full of spectators, standing in slush and snow. Around him were members of his family, high dignitaries of government. "In the (lays and in the years I hat are to come," he declared in history's briefest inaugural address 551 shall work for a just and durable peace as today we work and fight for total victory in war. "We can and we will achieve such a peace." Not since Lincoln's day had Washington seen a war-time inauguration. Gone were the glitter and fanfare, and, keying the event to the times, spectators were limited to five or six thousand guests, mostly government officials or Democratic party executives.

They were packed onto the psaThey were pricked onto the spa-Other Washingtonians had a remote view of the proceedings from beyond the black iron White House fence.

We have learned that we must live as men, not as ostriches, nor as dogs in the manger." Harry S.

Truman, former Missouri senator, was sworn In as vice p'resident Just before Mr. Roosevelt. henry A. Wallace gave the oat to and thereby bowed out of that office. The change-over from one term to another provided a strange mixture of old and new.

Farragut Shrinks SIGN ARMISTICE to Second Place "SPOKANE HOUSE" TO BE RESTORED WITH HUNGARY FARRAGUT, Idaho, Jan. 20. (UP) Farragut no longer is the largest city in Idaho, and Boise, population about 35,000, has that honor again.

Since it was ordered decommissioned as a naval training center last November, Farragut's population has shrunk to that approximating Pocatello. Farragut was the state's largest population center in 1943 and 1944, hitting a peak of 50,000 last March. F. D. R.

Ad Libs in His Inaugural LONDON, Jan. 20. UMSoviet' Russia, the United States and Britain have signed an armistice with Hungary's provisional government, the Moscow radio announced today. Moscow said the terms would be published later. The Hungarian regime is headed by Col.

Gen. Bela Miklos, and is seated at Debrecen in Russian-won territory. The armistice was arranged after three-day negotiations. A dispatch from Bern, Switzerland, said it was believed that German propaganda is deliberately stressing the critical side of the Russian drive to cloak Nazi plans for a further defense. 0 BRITISH SOS SINK 84 JAPANESE SHIPS By a STAFF REPRESENTATIVE.

OLYMPIA, Jan. of a Columbia river authority might cause delay in the construction of the Columbia basin irrigation works, said Senator Warren G. Magnuson in an exclusive interview for the Chronicle here last night. Magnuson was in Olympia to address. a Democratic party banquet.

"President Roosevelt," he said, "placed emphasis on western irrigation and reclamation in his recent budget message to congress. I talked to him a few days before I left Washington and he told me he hoped to Use western projects to provide work for returning veterans. Ile said he hoped many veterans would become settlers on the projects they help to build." Magnuson said the President did not mention any one project. Favored by Ickes. "Secretary of the Interior Ickes," Magnuson continued, "has announced that the Columbia basin is the nation's No.

1 post-war project, and we know it is the one Roosevelt has in mind." Magnuson said there was talk about the creation of a Columbia river authority, adding: "We face the danger If an authority is created the three members of the hoard may not want to build the Columbia basin works ahead of a lot of other projects along the river, such as the proposed Umatilla darn. If an authority is created, we must be sure those appointed to it are Columbia basin minded." WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. (P) As he frequently does, President Roosevelt made several minor changes in phraseology while delivering the prepared text of his Inaugural address today. For example, ho said Americans are passing through a test of "our essential democracy" instead of "essential decency" as he had written it.

At another point he inserted a few words, asserting: we shall work for a Just and honorable peace, II raid') peace The words "honorable peace" were added. Again in a reference to his old schoolmaster he mentioned him by name as "Dr. Peabody," whereas the original text contained no name. Ile was speaking of the late Dr. Endicott Peabody of Groton.

Republicans Note "Spokane House," the old build- ing standing on the site of the first white settlement in Washington or Oregon, will be restored in the immediate future1 according to plans undertaken by the publicity-tourist bureau of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon meeting today. Located about 15 miles from the city center, the building, which was probably used by Indians as a barn, stands northwest of the city near where the Little Spokane river flows into the Spokane river. E. T. Becher, social science teacher at Rogers high school and member of the publicity-tourist bureau, will head the committee that is making plans to preserve the historic building.

Will Bernd Building. Plans made by the bureau today call for the reroofing of the old building and construction of rafters to replace those that have fallen away within recent years. Walls of the building still stand. Becher explained the building was not a part of the original fur trading post established here in 1810, where fur traders sold their wares to the Indians for beads, blankets. hatchets and other items, but he said it was no doubt the same site.

The trading post, which was established by David Thompson of the British Northwest Fur corn-pony, was abandoned in 1826. Later Indians took over and when the first farmer settled there In 1883 the barn was standing there. Members of the publicity-tourist bureau will make a trip to the vicinity a week from tomorrow.

TRUMAN TAKES OATH OF OFFICE By JAMES HUTCHESON. WITH THE 24TH DIVISION IN THE PHILIPPINES. (Delayedy) (TP)The Second battalion of this division's Civil war-famed 19th regiment carved an historic niche in the annals of Leyte's re-conquest with an epic of grim courage and determination against overwhelming odds at the critical peak of fighting for the Ormoc corridor. It became known as Leyte's "lost hat 1. alion." The battalion was battle-fatigued from nearly a month of continuous fighting when it received orders to advance through the mountains to throw a road block against Japanese reenforcements attempting to reach a strong troop concentration against American forces hammering to break southward toward Ormoc.

This was before an amphibious landing was made behind the enemy at Ormoc. Loaded with supplies and ammunition, the battalion had to fight the enemy and tortuous mountain terrain for four days to reach the road, After 24 hours without food, the men fought savagely to take dominating heights. Then they ate rice from the packs of dead Japanese and stripped the hearts from palm trees. They established the road block and held it for four days against enemy tanks, truck columns, artillery fire and fanatical charges. The retirement took another four days of fighting.

When he battered bat ta I ion finally reached the main American forces, its casualties were 10 per cent killed or wounded. It had counted WO dead Japanese and many more undoubtedly 'ere pulled away during night attacks. Inland Etnpire 5Iembers.

20. Lord Woo lton, minister of reconstruction, urged British business men today to go after overseas trade right after the end of the war with Germany rather than concentrate entirely on meeting demands at home. Increase Trade Backing. "There will be a strong temptation to snatch a quick profit in a seller's market while trade is brisk" right after the war, he said, but "the world abroad is also hungry for our products and we must not tempt our customers overseas to find other sources of supply." Lord Woo Iton said the government was preparing to increase its appropriation for backing export trade from $300,000,000 to 000,000. The 13-29 Superfort on which Lt.

Kenneth Dirkes of Spokane served as navigator, was downed after a successful raid over Tokyo on December 3, Commissioner and Mrs. Otto Dirkes learned today in a letter from Maj. Jack DeWitt, who is stationed at the B-29 hie on Saipan. All members of the crew have been reported missing in action. Maj.

DeWitt wrote that while returning from the bombing attack on the Japanese city, Dirkes' plane was damaged by attacking enemy aircraft. The extent. of the damage was unknown by those who successfully returned, as the bomber in separated from its formation. The last report received from its radio operator vas "We are (hitching it at sea." "Every possible facility at our disposal has been exhausted in our attempts to rescue them," Mal DeWitt wrote. lie said that both army and navy planes and navy surface vessels combed the sea In search of the missing bomber.

DeWitt added there is hope some members of the crew escaped death. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. (AP)--A grim slight man in a dark overcoat, holding his hat in hand, became vice president of the United States today. Harry S.
