Curtis B. Dall; Headed Conservative Liberty Lobby

Curtis B. Dall, 95, a retired stockbroker who once headed the conservative Liberty Lobby. Dall joined Liberty Lobby in 1960 and headed the group from 1969 to 1982. The organization raised money for political candidates such as former Georgia Gov. Lester Maddox and supported the old white government of Rhodesia. During a 1970 interview with True magazine, he said Zionism was dedicated to “political and financial world domination,” and that the Jewish Rothschild banking family was head of a “one-world, large-monied group” that financed communism and socialism. In 1926, Dall married Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, daughter of Franklin D. Roosevelt. They were divorced eight years later, after Roosevelt had been elected President. He was no fan of Roosevelt’s policies, however. In a book he wrote in the late 1960s, “F.D.R.: My Exploited Father-In-Law,” Dall described in detail his distaste for Roosevelt’s New Deal and other policies. From 1960 to 1964, Dall also was the chairman of the Constitution Party. On Friday in Arlington, Va.
