Son Says F D R Did Not Care Who Was 1944 Running Mate
Rep James Roosevelt says Franklin D Roosevelt did not care who would be his running mate in the 1944 bid for a fourth term. He suggests his father preferred Justice William O Douglas, while noting Truman later became vice president and president after Roosevelt's death in 1945.
