WASHINGTON. Nov. S.-Many
administrationists and neutral poll
tical observers who until recently
were ~suspecting that Hugh s. John
son had designs ON the presidency in
1910 have now come TO the con
clusion that the general just can't
wait.
Johnson presumably would deny
presidential ambitions at this time.
But his attacks on the New Deal,
beginning consciously with an ar
ticle in the Saturday Evening Post,
convince some Of the highest Off
Gals here that someone has persuad-
ed the general that he may have to
run for high office TO save the ma
ton from disaster.
Secretary Wallace the other day
openly cited opinions Of friends that
the general was a candidate for the
republican vice presidential nom
ination.
Other cabinet members have ex-
pressed to intimates the belief that
Johnson regards himself as a pos
sible conservative coalition presiden-
tial candidate

Trips Up On Frankfurter

There's much truth in JohnSon's
description Ct the New Deal as a
Mess" But his insiStence on blam-
ing virtually all the innumerable
New Deal mistakes on DR.. Felix
Frankfurter Of Harvard Law School
and the Frankfurter graduates in
the administration, whom he calls
the Happy Hot Dogs" is commonly
regarded here as demonstrating the
generals notorious lack of memory
and devotion TO facts.
Quite a few insiders here seem to
remember the time when johnson
begging and StOrming in an eff
fort TO get Frankfurter, instead of
Donald Richberg. as general coun-
sci fer NRA.
Anyone can recall the occasion
when Johnson, in an ill-advised pub
lie moment. said every step Of NRA
had been taken in consultation with
Justice Brandeis. whose intimate
relationship with Frankfurter is
generally known.
tBrandeis subsequently voted with
a unanimous supreme court against
NRA in the Schechter case and was
kn-wn TO be horri led at the way it
had operated under Johnson.
Now Johnson boasts that ne kept
the Happy Hot Dogs" out Of NRA
and the framing Of MIRA.
, 1935-11-08


Edging ever closer TO the Republi-
can and American Liberty League
positions the general directs his at
tack az the policies lieutenants, and
advisers CT Roosevelt, rather than at
Roosevelt himself.
Neither Roosevelt nor anyone else
gets any comfort from the diStinc-
ton, for the effect is TO brand
Roosevelt as the prize bonehead OF
all time.
And many here figure that, since
f. ID. obviously isn't going to oblige
Johnson by diScarding the whole
New Deal and its personnel, John
sons next logical step would be TO
repudiate Roosevelt himSelf-how-
ever reluctantly-and oppose his re-
election.
The current surge Of belief in
Johnson's presidential ambitions is,
in some small part, sired by wish.
New Dealers feel Johnson is mer-
curial, unstable, and poorly informed.
But they'd rather pin him down
as an actual presidential %aspirant,
where he could be shot full OF holes,
than 10 let him roam at large as a
wild man failing in all directions,
who couldn't be held TO response
bility for his utterances.
On the other hand. Jchnson's iron
clad faith IN his own infallibility
and superior attachments encour-
ages the belief that in the back OF
his head is an ambition TO take over
the whole show.

Army and Navy Deserters Y
Get Into Plenty Trouble

The laws governing punishment
for desertion are different COR the
army and for the navy. Il a per-
son deserts from the United States
army when the country g at war
or in q technical state of war, he
IL always liable to arrest, trial
and punishment for the offense.
Trials for assertions that occurred
between April 6, 1917, and March
8, 1921, are not uncommon at the
present time. A statute limiting
the time within which an action
can be taken against an offender
protects peace-time deserters.
According to the articles Of war,
notes writer N the Indianapolis
News, II a person deserts from the
army In time Of peace the statute
Of limitations becomes effective
three years from the date Of deser.
ton, provided the deserter has been
within the reach Of the military
court. Any period Of time that
the deserter Is absent from the
jurisdiction Of the military court
IL deducted from the three-year
period. The United States Navy
department says thar II a person
deserts from the naval service when
the country is actually or techni-
cally at war the statute Of lmita-
lions becomes effective two years
after the date on which he was de-
clared q deserter, that is, he is I'm
mune from trial and punishment
two years after his desertion, pro
vided he was where the military
court could reach him by reason
able diligence. II he Is classed al
q peace-time deserter from the
navy the statute becomes an ef-
fective bar to trial two years after
the date Of the expiration for the
enlistment.
In time Of war desertion from
the army or navy may bring a SEN
tence Of death. A peace-tfme de-
serter ID usually dishonorably dis
charged and sentenced to q term
Of penal servitude.
