FDR Writes
President
For Hero
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-(7P)
-President Roosevelt reached
back into the pages of history
Thursday and adapted an idea
from the life of Ulysses S.
Grant in order to do homage to
Colin P. Kelly, jr., American
aviator who sank the Japanese
battleship Haruna at the cost
of his own life.
Mr. Roosevelt wrote a letter
to "the president of the United
States in 1956," asking that Kel
ly's son, Colin P. KeUy, III, who
Is now 18 months old, be ap
pointed "to the military academy
at West Point.
Mr. Roosevelt told the future
president whoever he may be
that he was making his re
quest "in full confidence that
we shall achieve a glorious vic
tory in the war we are now
waging to preserve our demo
cratic way of life." He said he
was making his appeal as a to
ken of the nation's appreciation
of the Jieroic services of the
baby's father, who met death at
the outset "of the struggle
which was thrust upon us by
the perfidy of a professed
friefid."
The Incident recalled that
Ulysses S. Grant once wrote a
similar letter In behalf of bis
grandson, and namesake, Ulys
ses S. Grant, then four years
Id.
Princess Julia Cantacuxene,
General Grant's granddaughter,
tells about it In her memoirs.
Col. Fred Grant, the general's
son and like his father a veter
an of the Civil war, was very
anxious to have his boy go to
West Point
. v He went to his father a year -'
before the latter's death and
ssud:: .',... " ; .
Tather, I've never asked yon
to do me a favor, but I think If
y jrou will write it," I would like .
a" letter from you to the' then :
president of the United States, "
asking: him U appoint my. boy, '
eadei" '' '
