est  for  the  enforcement  of  the  pure  food  law.  JJut  Doctor  Rusby's 
position  as  an  expert  of  high  standing-  is  such  that  I  do  not  think 
that  any  more  than  this  expression  of  opinion  should  be  imposed 
as  penalty.  My  information  is  that  the  Government  needs  his 
services,  that  he  has  already  rendered  valuable  aid  and  that  the 
error  referred  to  committed  by  him  should  not  call  for  any  further 
action  or  remark. 
"  You  will  communicate  the  result  to  the  personnel  board,  and 
also  to  the  persons  charged.    Sincerely  yours, 
"  WILLIAM  H.  TAFT."
