President Roosevelt has just seen the reports from U.S. District Attorney in Chicago Charles B. Morrison and bank examiner Edward P. Moxey. Roosevelt does not believe there is anything else he can do in the John R. Walsh case. Roosevelt believes that the only way to proceed from now on is to have communications between Walsh’s lawyers and Morrison. Roosevelt is reluctant to say this to James H. Eckels, Comptroller of Currency, but feels there is no alternative. Roosevelt really liked Walsh and has sympathy for Senator Albert J. Hopkins and admiration for Eckels – which is why he has gone over the case several times at their request.
