Anybody know anything about this? From what I have read he was a 32nd degree Mason along with a member of many other such organisations, hence The Great Seal he placed on the 1 dollar bill after Wallace persuaded him.

Brother Franklin Delano Roosevelt was Raised on November 28, 1911 in Holland Lodge No. 8, Hyde Park, N.Y.
It was several years later (February 28, 1929) when he received the Degrees of the Scottish Rite.
He was a member of Cypress Shrine Temple in Albany, New York.
He was appointed Representative of the Grand Lodge of Georgia in 1930 and in 1934 he was named the first Honorary Grand Master of the International Order of DeMolay.
Roosevelt had many encounters with opponents because of his Masonic membership.
Newsweek reports President Roosevelt attending the Raising of his sons James and Franklin Jr. in Architect Lodge No. 519. Franklin's picture appeared in the magazine at this ceremony.
The german press published headlines referring to the picture as a "secret illustrated document" showing Roosevelt in Masonic dress and surrounded by a "circle of Jews."
There were numerous other Nazi press publications attempting to make Roosevelt appear as a tool of Freemasonry. They continued using this as propaganda in the war efforts. Later the Japanese powers picked up
this ball and ran some more with it. But as we all know, their efforts failed.
