Truman’s Big Shoes to Fill Yesterday April 12Th, 1945 President Franklin Roosevelt passed away at his vacation home in Warm Springs Georgia. President Franklin Roosevelt died at the age of 63 surrounded by his friends. Roosevelt’s wife was not at the house at the time of his death, though. Roosevelt was diagnosed with polio on August 1921, but this was not his direct cause of death. Roosevelt suffered from cerebral hemorrhage which is a stroke caused by the interrupted flow of blood to the brain. When Roosevelt’s stroke occurred he was being painted by an artist, and at 1pm said that he had a sharp pain in his head. At 1:15pm Roosevelt fell into a coma. After questioning the Admiral he stated, “ this came out of the clear sky”. There had been no indication that Roosevelt had a cerebral hemorrhage, and he had had no recent surgeries. Yesterday Harry S. Truman, Roosevelt’s vice president, was sworn into office under the [|oath]. Truman had only served as a vice president for eighty-two days. Roosevelt’s funeral will be on Saturday in the East Room of the executive mansion at 4pm. The East Room only hold two-hundred people, so only high government officials, friends, family, representatives of congress, and the heads of foreign mission will be aloud into the ceremony.



**Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s [|New Deal]**

 In September 1929, the stock market crashed, starting the Great Depression. This was a tough time in many Americans’ lives, and the memory still lives on in many people’s minds. At the start of the Great Depression, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the governor of New York. When the Great Depression hit, he was first slow to act, but he soon started to rally behind the idea of government intervention. In New York, he created many relief programs for the unemployed. One example is when he created 10,000 jobs for men to work in New York’s State Forests. They worked at planting trees, creating park buildings, and trying to prevent erosion in the parks. This was a very successful program, that would later become the model for the CCC.  On March 5, 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was inaugurated into the Presidential Office. Within hours, he had called a special session of congress to discuss the economic disaster at hand. In his inaugural address, he portrayed his predecessor Herbert Hoover as the cause for the horrible crisis at hand. With his “New Deal,” Roosevelt claimed he could revive the once-legendary economic structure of America. A large proportion of Americans believed him, because Roosevelt won the election of 1932 with a margin of seven million votes. In the end, Roosevelt spent four terms in office pulling America out of the red and then back into the black during the second World War.  Roosevelt’s miraculous programs helped put provisions in place to add jobs to the economy, which was the root of the problem after the crash had taken place. Without jobs, people had no money, and rapidly were plunged into poverty. Some of the programs he set up were the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), which was designed to employ young men, or the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA), which regulated the farm industry. The Works Projects Administration (WPA) was created to regulate the arts industry. Finally, the National Youth Administration (NYA) was a subdivision of the WPA for the youth sector. Not only did the New Deal help spur the economy out of the Great Depression, but it also changed the political system. During Roosevelt’s presidency, he slowly increased the power of the federal government, and the president. The Federal government interfered with the economy to try to get it out of the Great Depression, which some argued worked well. The steps the government took during the Great Depression were unprecedented. Some of the programs created in the New Deal, like WPA, the CCC, and the NYA employed thousands of people each year. Also, he helped created relief, for the unemployed. In 1941, 93 percent of the unemployed were covered by various programs. The New Deal was a monumental piece of legislation, and some argue it was Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s greatest achievement. media type="file" key="American Post Report.m4v" width="462" height="462"  **Roosevelt Reacts to Pearl Harbor and Joins the War**

====<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">December 7th 1941, a day not many Americans will ever forget, Pearl Harbor was violently attacked by the hostile Japanese. The Japanese claimed the lives of 3,000 Americans and 16 warships. Roosevelt’s “Day of Infamy” speech inspired many Americans and sparked hopes for retaliation. In a time of a crisis only Roosevelt could lead the noble country of America to out of this hardship. Entering World War II by joining the Allies Roosevelt paved the way to victory with his brilliant war strategies. Roosevelt leads America onto a new and brighter day. [|One of Roosevelt's fireside chats on the war with Japan was recorded.] ==== ====<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">media type="youtube" key="PrAuIMk9KPU" height="390" width="480" ====

The Bill’s purpose is to help assist the nations fighting the Axis Powers, Germany, Japan, and Italy. This bill would completely eliminate the idea of neutrality. When the Bill is passed it would grant Roosevelt the power to send ships, weapons, food, or equipment, to any country he saw fit that would help defend the United States. This would definitely create Roosevelt’s so desired “arsenal of democracy”. The Lend-Lease Bill had the potential to avoid the treacherous debts created by World War I. Roosevelt is filled with potential and is taking every opportunity he can to act. Roosevelt's previous involvement with the Navy has definitely made in impact and has helped him to make some of these war time decisions. ====

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born on January 30, 1882, in Hyde Park New York. He grew up with his parents James Roosevelt and Sara Delano Roosevelt. Of the two Sara was the one who took care of Franklin the most. His father was 54 when Roosevelt was born and remained distant through out his childhood. Roosevelt took many trips to Europe with his mother and learned German and French at an early age. Roosevelt also played many sports and was an extremely privileged child. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline;">His parents who, with the help of private tutors, gave Roosevelt most of his education. He did however attend a preparatory school in Massachusetts called Groton. While at Groton he met Endicott Peabody, the headmaster of the school. Peabody encouraged his students to become involved in public service and believed that you should always help the less fortunate. Peabody was an immense influence in Roosevelt’s life and later some of Peabody’s teachings were used by Roosevelt to run the United States. In 1900 Roosevelt attended Harvard University. In only three short years he got a BA degree in history. After Harvard Roosevelt studied law at Columbia University in New York. He soon left Columbia without a degree and went on to practice mostly corporate law in New York with Carter Ledyard & Milburn. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline;">In 1910 Roosevelt entered politics as a Democrat. He was elected State Senate of his home town Hyde Park, New York. He was reelected in 1912. Roosevelt helped support Woodrow Wilson’s candidacy and was later thanked by Wilson by being appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy in 1913. In 1920 he was nominated for vice presidency by the Democratic party. However Republican Warren Harding was elected into office. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline;">In 1930 Roosevelt began to campaign for president. Roosevelt steadily grew in popularity through out the United States because Americans agreed when he said that the government needed intervention in the economy to provide relief, recovery, and reform. Roosevelt defeated Hoover for presidency in 1932. Roosevelt was later reelected for more then two terms as president due to his work with handling the Great Depression. In 1939 World War II began in Europe, even though America was neutral Roosevelt offered aid to Britian, France, and China. However once France was defeated in 1940 Roosevelt’s foreign policy changed. America stayed neutral but offered more aid to any country against Germany. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline;">The stress of the war took a hard toll on Roosevelt. On April 12, 1945 at the age of 63 he suffered a huge stroke. Two and a half hours later Roosevelt died. He was buried in his home town of Hyde Park New York.
