FRANK KNOX
As Secretary of the Navy, he appoints a physicist as a commander in the Naval Reserve.
Partly Printed Document Signed: "Frank Knox" as FDR's Secretary of the Navy, 1p, 8x10½. Washington, 1941 March 29. Appointment of Louis William McKehan as a Commander in the Naval Reserve. Newspaper editor and publisher Frank Knox (1874-1944), a soldier in Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War and an artillery officer in France during World War I, was the Republican nominee for Vice President in 1936. Both Landon and Knox had supported Theodore Roosevelt's third party candidacy for President in 1912, the only Republican nominees for the top offices to have done so. The Landon-Knox ticket carried only the states of Maine and Vermont in 1936. In 1940, President Roosevelt, seeking bipartisan support for his foreign and defense policies, named Knox as Secretary of the Navy, where the former opponent promoted the rapid naval buildup FDR desired, serving until his death. Louis William McKehan (1887-1975) was a physicist, the author of books on magnets and on radioactivity. Two file holes at blank upper and at blank left margins, staple holes at upper left blank corner. Naval vignette at top center.
