President Roosevelt has looked into the case of Lieutenant Arthur D. Budd and reports to Congressman Sperry that he cannot consent to Budd being detailed to the White House as an aide. Such appointments are generally given as rewards for good service, and Budd is still very early in his career and has not shown any particular qualifications for the position.
