Mrs. FI HI Buried
Next to Husband
By Irish Donnelly
HYDE PAEK, N.Y. UP> — Mrs
Franklin I). Roosevelt was buried
Saturday from a little ivy-towered
19th century church, where Frank
lin I). Roosevelt first brought her
as a bride nearly 60 years ago.
“Death is swallowed up in vic
tory," the Rev. Gordon Kidd,
rector of St. James Episcopal
Church, intoned for a congregation
that included Roosevelt’s three
successors in the White House. “O
death, where is thy sting? O grave,
where is thy victory?’’
President Kennedy and former
Presidents Harry Truman and
Dwight Eisenhower bowed their
heads with some 200 other mourn
ers as the standard Episcopal rit
ual for the dead was observed for
Mrs. Roosevelt.
However, the Rev. Mr. Kidd
departed from the regular service
to read the prayer of St. Francis
of Assissi. It was a favorite of
Mrs. Roosevelt’s. She had a copy
on the wall of her bedroom. And
she asked that it be recited at her
funeral. It reads:
“Lord, make me an instrument
of your peace.
"Where there is hatred, let me
sow love:
“Where there is injury, pardon;
“Where there is doubt, faith:
“Where there is despair, hope;
“Where there is darkness, light;
‘ ‘ \\J Imr C* t nrn 1 t* r- 'l /A /'-.I- r- i
‘‘Oh Divine Master, grant that
I may seek not so much to be
consoled as to console;
‘‘To be understood as to under
stand;
“To be loved as to love;
“For it is in giving that we re
ceive;
"It is in pardoning that, we are
pardoned;
“And it is in dying that we are
born to eternal life,
“Amen.’’
Outside, several hundred Hyde
Park neighbors of the Roosevelts
stood behind police lines during
the services inside the gray stone,
118-year-old church. It was to
this little Hudson Valley village
that Roosevelt brought his bride
for the first time after marriage
in 1905.
Children were among the throng
who waited patiently. And what
they saw as Mrs. Roosevelt’s body
was borne out of the church for
a five-mile trip to her grave was
the passing of an era, the era of
the New Deal and her 12 years
beside her husband in the White
House, sharing with him the vic
tories and the tragedies of peace
and war.
A night of heavy rain gave
way to a sullen dawn on the
Roosevelt estate along the Hudson
River’s east bank 85 miles above
New York.

Dirs at Age 78
MIAMI, Fla, W — Lillian Cross
was buried in Miami Saturday,
the same day as Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, whose husband Mrs.
Cross saved from an assassin’s
bullet 2!) years ago.
Mrs. Cross died Thursday at ]
the age of 78 in a St. Petersburg
Masonic home and was brought
to Miami for final rites.
It was a political rally in Miami’s
Bay front Park Feb. 15, 1933, that
I vaulted Mrs. Cross into national
| prominance. She stood on a bench
j to get a better view of President
! elect Roosevelt. A nervous dark
j faced man stood beside her.
He raised a pistol until it was
j level with her check. “He was
j pointing right at the President, no
j one else,” she recalled later. “He j
I fired the first shot. I said, ‘Don’t ;
| do that.’ and grabbed his arm j
! and pushed it up in the air and j
| out, trying to keep him from hit- j
I ting anyone else. Then the Ameri
can Legion bows grabbed him.”
The spray of bullets hit four
people. Chicago Mayor Anton Cer
mak was struck, and he died three
weeks later. The assassin, Guisep
pe Zangara, was electrocuted
March 20, 1933.
Mrs. Cross became a national
heroine. A New York newspaper
paid her way to New York and
she sat in a place of honor at the
inauguration in Washington.
She received an invitation to a
White House tea.
In a personal letter President
Roosevelt said, “it is hard for me
to find words to convey to you my
appreciation for your heroism.
How much greater and sadder a
tragedy was averted by your un
selfish courage and quick think
ing of course no can estimate.”

EDWARDS AIM FOIMF BASE.
Calif. ',■? - An X -1A rocket plat..-,
spinning nut of control during on
emergency landing, flipped over
twice on a dry lake bed and left
its pilot dangling upside down
by his straps.
The pilot, veteran John McKay,
thought it all over and decided:
"That was a damned good landing
—up to a point."
McKay, who suffered only su
perficial injuries, will fly again.
Th- X-15 may not.
McKay’s trouble actually start
ed Friday when he was 45,000
feet up. That's where his X-15
was released by its mother ship, a
B-52 bomber.
From there he was supposed to
take his ship up to 120,000 feet
and test its stability while re
entering the earth's atmosphere.
But his engine failed to develop
power. So he turned it off and
V-ded down to an < nr rgency
Minding strip at Mud I ake. Nov.
195 miles north of tnis desert
flight test center.
McKay, a 39-year-old Irishman
who has been flying experimental
planes more than a decade, touch
'd down nicely at about 200 miles
an hour. At first it appeared he
would make a normal landing.
Then something ■— investigators
still aren’t sure what — went
wrong.
The X-15 veered to the left,
placing abnormal pressure on the
nose wheel. The tire on this wheel
blew, the wheel support strut
buckled and the X-15 slid side
ways about 3,000 feet before flip
ping over.
