The general turned the session
into a confessional, described his
problems frankly and, finally, stood
toe-to-toe in argument with sue
cession of editors who took eX-
ception to his speech.
General Johnson told the editors
he would not have lasted a month
at NRA if he had been as in
competent as some newspapers al
legged or were I the clustering
jackass of some verbal and pictorial
cartoons"
Don't Pull Your Punches
The general invited questions and
told the editors not to pull their
punches. Arthur j. Sinnott of the
Newark, N. j., venings News, told
General Johnson he was shocked to
learn he felt the press had dealt
unfairly with him.
General Johnson denied news sup
preston, but said he had been COM
PEELED to bar writer's of gossip
columns" from his press conferences.
Mr.. johnson said that he was not a
politician, did not know the politics
of his associates within NRA, but
suspected some times that most Of
them are Republicans.
I'VE have been accused of a
diabolical desire to impose a censor
ship of the press and the radio"
he said. considering the articles
and speeches in opposition to the
Presidents program, we certainly
have made the poorest kind of mess
if ccontrol Of the agencies of pub
licity was one of our objects"
General Johnson added, however,
that had it not been for the news
papers, the NRA could not have
been a success.
Press 'Put Over" NRA
Mr.. Sinnott said he "Was a little
shocked that you think you didn't
get a square deal from the press"
Il didn't say that at all" John
son replied. Il have no kick, except
that some columnists have to write
a column every day even when they
they have nothing to write about.
But we're talking about newsmen
not columnists," Mr.. Sinnot retorted.
General johnson said be believed
that columnists were also news
papermen men.
Mr.. Sinnott then said he didn't
know that newspapers were the
"sweatshops" that President Roose-
velt minated some of them were
in statement during the news
paper code negotiations.
The President said it," General
Johnson replied, "but I drafted that
statement and am sorry for it. 1t
was an unfortunate expression"
Mr.. Sinnott said he did not believe
that the reporters in the better
newspaper plants needed a code.
That's part of your crouch" Mr..
Sinnott said. "Repurters all act
differently. The good ones get the
breaks and the poor ones don't"
