MBS Fulton Lewis Reports FDRs Death

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is Fulton-Nuist Jr. speaking from the mutual studios in New York City. This nation has suffered this day a staggering loss. At this moment at warm springs Georgia, President Franklin D. Roosevelt lies with the problems of the nation finally lifted from his shoulders, stricken late this afternoon with cerebral hemorrhage.

He passed away before his physicians could be of any assistance if assistance in such a case is possible at all. Vice President Harry Truman, who from here on will be President Truman, went immediately to the White House. A special cabinet meeting was called, and we should know more about what is going to happen in Washington as the

evening wears on. But Franklin D. Roosevelt, the first president to be elected for four terms in the White House has passed away, and that is the overshadowing and shadowing of all news events that have happened or can happen for quite a while.
