| Personal Fact of James Roosevelt | |
|
James Roosevelt, the eldest son of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of United States of America, was a member of the House of Representatives, and was an officer in the United States Marine Corps. He assisted his father during his presidential campaign. During FDR’s first stint as President, James served briefly as his secretary, and influenced many policies of the day but his stay in White House was cut short as allegations of nepotism and corruption began to surface. Thereafter, he became a Hollywood film producer. He was accused of receiving Mafia money to finance his ventures. He joined the Marine Corps Reserve, and distinguished himself in action during World War II. He was elected to the House of Representatives from California and served in the Congress for ten years. He was vocal in his opposition to McCarthyism, and the House of Un-American Activities Committee. Appointed to the UNESCO, he resigned to join the International Overseas Services Management Company. He resigned when the company’s irregularities became too obvious to ignore. Despite being a Democrat, he supported Republicans like Johnson, Nixon and Reagan for presidency. A courageous soldier, his political life showed too many instances of opportunism. |
