Walker, decision NEW YORK (AP) James Roosevelt commenting on a published account of a romance between his father and the late Lucy Mercer says it was his understanding that "everyone in the family knew" she was at Warm Springs, at the time Franklin D.

Roosevelt died. The author, Jonathan Daniels, wrote that Eleanor Roosevelt "was bitter and jealous of Lucy during all the years until the last when at Franklin's death in 1945 she found that Lucy, on one of her several trips to Warm Springs, had been with her husband when he died." James Roosevelt, when asked for comment Thursday, said that Lucy Mercer later Mrs. Wlnthrop Rutherfurd was "an old family friend." Daniels, who was an aide of Franklin D. Roosevelt and is now editor of The News and Observer in Raleigh, N.C., wrote that a long and secret romance between FDR and his wife's social secretary nearly broke up his marriage early in his political career. The book says the relationship supposedly ended in 1918, but Roosevelt never completely broke the tie.

James Roosevelt said he did not know of any romance, and explained: "I was a pretty small boy in 1918.1 was about 11 then and not aware of anything." Roosevelt, now 58, is a U.S. delegate to the United Nations Economic and Social Council. Daniels' book says the crippling polio attack that the future President suffered in 1921 rece- mented his marriage. "However complete or incomplete had been the reconciliation between Eleanor and Franklin after their marriage was threatened, now he was hers to serve and to save," Daniels says. "Her gallantry matched his." Daniels' book, "The Time Between the Wars," is to be published Aug.

14, He was an administrative assistant to President Roosevelt from 1943 to 1945 and his press secretary in 1945. Miss Mercer, described in the book as "a member of the famous Carroll family of Maryland," married Winthrop Ruth- erfurd, a wealthy New Yorker and a descendant of both Peter Stuyvesant, the first governor of New York, and John Winthrop, the first governor of Massachu-: setts. Widowed in 1944, she died in York City in 1948 at the age of 57. Miss Mercer served as Eleanor Roosevelt's social secretary from 1914 to 1917.
