President Roosevelts Son May Serve As Secretary
The president’s eldest son James Roosevelt, who has accompanied him on the South American tour, is reported to be among his future secretaries and aides without salary or formal title. The move follows a pattern of intimate staff choices after Mr Howe and Gus Generich, both now deceased. A plan to abolish the electoral college gains momentum with Norris and Lea backing a constitutional amendment to base votes on state popular vote, altering the last election results. Under current rules Roosevelt won 523 votes to Landon’s 8, but the proposed system would have split votes differently.
