JOHN A. ROOSEVELT, YOUNGEST SON OF LATE PRESIDENT, IS DEAD AT 65,
By ROBERT D. McFADDEN
John A. Roosevelt, a retired New York investment banker who was the youngest of four sons of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, died of heart failure yesterday at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center. He was 65 years old and lived at 333 East 57th Street and in Tuxedo Park, N.Y.
Except for a brief flirtation with the 1957 New York City mayoral race, Mr. Roosevelt - a tall, heavyset man who strongly resembled his father but was the only Republican in a family of staunch Democrats - never ran for elective office.
While two of his brothers, James and Franklin D. Jr., served terms in Congress and his third brother, Elliot, was once the Mayor of Miami Beach, John Roosevelt preferred a behind-the-scenes political role, supporting the candidacies of others and focusing primarily on his own numerous business and philanthropic interests.
Until his retirement last December, he was a senior vice president and a director of Bache, Halsey, Stuart, Shields & Company, and had been a general partner of its predecessor concern, Bache & Company. Since 1959, he had been a trustee of the State University of New York and was chairman of its finance committee. Active in Charitable Causes He also was a fund-raiser for many philanthropies, including the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, which had been founded by his father, and served on the executive committee of the Greater New York Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
Over the years, Mr. Roosevelt was an active supporter of numerous Republicans, including President Reagan and former Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard M. Nixon. He also was a supporter of the late Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller and former Senators Jacob K. Javits of New York and Clifford P. Case of New Jersey. It was the 1952 Eisenhower race for President that prompted Mr. Roosevelt's move into the Republican Party. With his prominent name, he became chairman of Citizens for Eisenhower, and after the Eisenhower victory, he served on the President's Committee on Government Contracts, helping to enforce nondiscrimination clauses in industrial contracts with the Federal Government.
After polling a strong 40 percent in a 1957 straw vote of Young Republicans in New York City, Mr. Roosevelt hinted that he might run against the Democratic Mayor, Robert F. Wagner, but decided within a few days to forgo the race. A Navy Officer in War, He was born in Washington on March 13, 1916. He graduated from Groton in 1934 and Harvard College in 1938. After working briefly at Filene's department store in Boston, he served in the Navy from 1941 to 1946 and was a lieutenant on board the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Wasp in the Pacific. After World War II, he was a lieutenant commander in the Naval Reserve. Mr. Roosevelt owned and operated a department store in Los Angeles in the late 1940's. Prior to joining Bache in 1957, he was president and director of the Regency Fund, an investment company, and was the president of Universal Products Inc. In addition to his three brothers, Mr. Roosevelt is survived by his wife, the former Irene Boyd; one son, Haven C. of Chappaqua, N.Y.; two daughters, Nina Roosevelt Gibson of Alexandria, Ohio, and Joan Roosevelt Schoonmaker of LaGrangeville, N.Y., and eight grandchildren. Funeral arrangments are pending.
