Roosevelt wary of confirmations shifts to Navy bold move
FDR, rattled by Tom Amlie’s ICC appointment setback, avoids Senate tests over Jesse Jones and the RFC. He leans to the Navy where Swanson, aged 77 and frail, struggles to attend meetings, with Edison also sidelined by eye illness. Roosevelt values Swanson but signals possible changes as naval needs grow.
