President Roosevelt has received Judge Brown’s letter on behalf of collector Robert Winston Dowe. While he does not doubt that the motives for bringing charges against Dowe might be corrupt, if the charges prove true then they must be acted upon. Roosevelt has asked for a “full and fair investigation” of the case by the Treasury Department.
