I Roosevelt Family Out of Navy Office After 16 Years' “Hereditary™ Succession By the Associated Press. For the first time in 16 years—save for an interim of a few months—a member of the Roosevelt family is not Assistant Secretary of the Navy. So many Roosevelts, or kin of the Roose- velts, have held the office that the post has come to be termed facetiously in Navy circles “the only hereditary public office in the United States Govern- ment.” Theodore Roosevelt, sr., was the first ' Fourteen men of the business and Pprofessional world had applied for the | ew position of business manager of | e public schools by noon today and | had been requested by the superintend- ent to complle former statements, of | their qualifications for consideration of | #chool officials. | All but one of the applicants placed | !:is candidacy before Dr. Frank W. Bal- ou in person, while that of the one man was understood to have been pro- posed by a group of his friends. Dr. Ballon would not reveal the names pf any of the candidates. He said he | uld discuss the candidates with the president of the Board of Education, Dr. Charles F. Carusl. upon the latter's re- | turn to the city from a vacation, and that at least until that time he did ot intend to reveal the identity of any of the applicants. Dr. Ballou said, how- ever that the 14 candidates include con- sulting engineers, architects, building gontractors and business men. . The first six applications were re- eived yesterday, following publication the preceding day of the school offi- | cial's statement that no candidates for the new $5,000-a-year position had been received. The remaining 14 appeared before Dr. Ballou this morning, and in- dications at that time were that a host of others probably would be received. The new position was made possible by an appropriation of $5000. to be available July 1, in the 1930 appropria- tion bill. The officer is to be a field man charged with inspection of all buildings, direction of the $500,000 re- air fund. and would have the rank of rst assistant superintendent in charge f business affairs.
