James Roosevelt Denies Huge Income in Public Interview
New York August 12 James Roosevelt flatly denied reports of earning 250000 to 2000000 annually in insurance. He presented tax records showing 21714 to 49167 per year from 1933 to 1937 totaling 172978 for five years and said he did not solicit or accept any insurance since becoming his father's secretary. He cited resigning from Roosevelt and Sargent in Washington but retaining dividends and named firms he sold insurance to. Johnston disputed his figures noting the firm earned over a half million in commissions and that net income would exceed 60000 if not split for tax purposes.
