To The Editors of the CRIMSON:
In an otherwise accurate and fine report. Tuesday's CRIMSON seriously misquoted Monday evening's Young Democrats' speaker, Chairman Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., '37. In answer to a question concerning whether Sen. Jacob Javits would seek the New York governorship. Mr. Roosevelt is quoted in your story as replying. "Javits would probably be better off with a Democratic governor, so that he could be top dog, just as Bobby Kennedy is better off with a Republican in Albany."
Our tape of the lecture shows that Mr. Roosevelt actually said. "Javits would probably be better off with a Democratic governor, so that he could be top dog, just as some people say Bobby Kennedy is better off with a Republican in Albany--but I don't believe it, and I don't think he does either."
I am sure that you will correct this error by putting the statement in its proper context. Thank you for your generally fine coverage. James Roosevelt, Jr. Speakers Chairman
