Automobiles Rear Tamils' After the former President's body | was curried by household sort ants j to the hearse, it was announced a j procession of fifteen automobiles would be formed to convey the at- | tendunts at the prayer service to the • church.

A hush fell over the town as the hour for the services approached. School children, dismissed for the day, assembled in the streets and talked In subdued whispers. The droning of the motors of the Army airplanes that hovered over the Roosevelt mansion seemed to accen tuate the stillness. Business was virtually suspended.
