June 21, 1958.
Dear Mr. Roosevelt:
lou recently referred to ae» among others, a copy of a
letter of May IS, 1958, received frosi Mr. Joseph F. Gonnellan,
of Braokllne, Massachusetts, who for seventeen years, prior to
last Soveaber, had been employed as a State Bank Examiner in
Massachusetts, but who was disaiased allegedly for political
reasons*
He appears to be the victim of a most unfortunate
situation for which he is in no way responsible, and X wish
that a place could be found for him either in our examination
division here or in the Federal Reserve bank at Boston, to
which he has already aade application* Our staff, however,
is already over-banned, if anything, relative to the very
restricted jurisdiction of the Federal Reserve System in the
field of bank examination, and the Board has no authority
with respect to the hiring of personnel "by the Federal Reserve banks, so that I very such regret to report that I do
not see how I can be of service in trying to help Mr.
Connellan.
I wanted you to know, however, that his letter had
not been treated in any perfunctory manner, but that after
canvassing the possibilities here I do not see any opening
for him In our examination division, which does not have
jurisdiction over examination of national banks or of insured non-aeaber banks, these two groups comprising approximately 93 per cent of the banks examined by the three Federal examining agencies*
Sincerely yours,

I* S. Eccles,
Chairaan.
Honorable James Koosevelt,
Secretary to the President,
The White House.
