Roosevelt, during ceremonies at Hyde Park, N.Y., April 12, dedicating the Roosevelt ancestral homestead as a national shrine.

Truman's New Cocker Spaniel
Caption: "President Truman's New cocker spaniel learns today what a dog's life can be around the White House. The six-weeks-old puppy, named Feller, spent about an hour with the White House photographers this morning and found it an exhausting experience. By the time he was shown to reporters, the brown and white-haired puppy, who arrived yesterday, was exhausted to stand up."
