In 1932, when the Democratic Convention met in Chicago, Curtis Dall decided to go there.  He claims that he boldly went up to the room where the Pendergast delegation was pow-wowwing about how to get their Missouri man elected President, and told Mr. Pendergast that if he were smart, he'd get on the Roosevelt bandwagon, because Roosevelt had it all sewed up! "That's how Missouri came in early for Roosevelt!" (''F.D.R.'', pg 61-62)  Dall takes a few pages to discuss a chance meeting with Huey Long and comments on how he feels Long's assassination was planned because he came to be regarded as a "real threat and political danger to some pundits in the Washington Democratic Administration" (''F.D.R.'', pg 64)  Curtis then takes a few pages to relate how he met Professor Felix Frankfurter then of Harvard Law School, in Dec 1932 at a dinner at the home of Sarah Roosevelt.  He and Frankfurter did not get on well, and he concludes this section by stating that Bernard Baruch and Felix Frankfurter (1882-1965) shortly afterward became "the two most powerful political operators in this country....They were without doubt the 'Gold Dust Twins'". (''F.D.R.'', pg 66-70) Frankfurter in 1938 was appointed to the Supreme Court.

Curtis then relates how he met Bernard Baruch in New York early in Jan 1933 when Bernard came to see F.D.R. on an informal visit.  Curtis states at that time that he is still on the stock exchange floor with Goodbody and Company.  At that time Bernard told him that he was in control of "5/16th of the world's visible supply of silver....Mr Baruch gradually became the best known symbol of vast world money power." (''F.D.R.'', pg 71-5)

Curtis and Anna were apparently at this time, splitting their time between their Tarrytown estate and "...the Roosevelt town house on East Sixty-fifth street, New York"<sup>[[#Footnotes 3|H]]</sup> Anna casting about for some further employment, took up her mother's mantle and decided to do some radio talks, for which she was paid perhaps as much as $3,000 each.<sup>[[#Footnotes 3|I]]</sup>

Curtis makes it plain in his book, that although he was on friendly terms with FDR and Eleanor, that he suspected they had some unsavory friends who weren't looking out for the best interests of the nation. One of these who comes in for a good deal of his attack was Louis McHenry Howe, a former journalist, who had hitched his wagon to FDR's star back before FDR became Governor of New York. Louis lived, at least part-time in FDR's household and when the family moved into the White House, Louis moved in as well. Curtis states that some of the people that Louis had in to the White House to meet Eleanor and FDR appeared to be "straight from the Soviet Union!"

Possibly Curtis' second marriage was the trigger.  When Curtis Jr got married, some newspapers reported that Curtis Sr has been invited but was unable to attend.</td><td>http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wjhonson/Dall4.jpg<br>Curtis Dall and Katherine Leas Dec 1938</td></tr></table>

In 1962 in a hearing before Congress, Dall describes himself as "Chairman of the Board of Policy for Liberty Lobby."  Dall testified in Washington in May 1963, in front of the Senate Finance Committee, and against President Kennedy's trade policies.  Syndicated columnist Drew Pearson, in an editorial, 1 Jun 1963 (see ''Ogden Standard-Examiner'') reports that "...Dall charged that Kennedy's trade policies were dreamed up by his 'political bosses and mentors' whom he identified ominously as 'the political Zionist planners for absolute rule, via one world government....[They] have gained the power to influence while remaining themselves in the shade..."

On 21 Jul 1964, the ''Advocate'' of Victoria, Texas reported that the "Constitution Party Seeks New Standard Bearer".  It "threw open its presidential nomination to anyone who is willing to promote the principles of constitutional government."  This happened because George Wallace withdrew his name as their favored candidate.  Of three persons mentioned as possible candidates, were "Curtis Dall of Philadelphia, national chairman... P.A. Del Valle retired Marine Corps lieutenant general... and W Frank Horne publisher".

In 1966/7 he wrote the book for which he is most cited today, ''F.D.R. My Exploited Father-In-Law'', in which he speaks of his ex-father-in-law, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Franklin's relationship with, as Curtis saw them, the corrupt power of the banking elite of the time.  On the back cover of this 1967 edition it states :"An ardent conservative Mr. Dall is a member of the Christian Crusade National Advisory Board; is a member of the Executive Board of 'We The People'; and works actively for conservatism in national politics."

Dall mentions a book he'd just read called ''When the Cheering Stopped'', by Gene Smith (1964).  He then relates the Peck letters story. It's not completely clear if he is here quoting from the book or relaying his own version of the story.  Here is what he states.<blockquote>Woodrow Wilson wrote many letters of a "personal nature" to Mrs Mary Allen Peck.  Mrs Peck's son got into some financial difficulties and needed $30,000.  Mrs Peck retained Samuel Untermeyer as her lawyer to help her obtain that money.  Mr Untermeyer called upon President Wilson explaining that his client needed $250,000 and for that sum she would return to Wilson certain letters she had, otherwise she would dispose of them to others.  Wilson did not have that kind of money.  Mr Untermeyer proposed a solution.  If Wilson would consider appointing Mr Louis Brandeis to the Supreme Court, then Mr Untermeyer would settle the matter of the letters. (''F.D.R.'', p 140-141)</blockquote>
