WOULD SERVE FAITHFULLY

Whatever the closeness OF their
past association, johnson conceded
with typical candor:
81 am sure you don't like me
any more-and I don't blame
you. But I am equally sure that
you know in your heart, more
confidently perhaps than about
some other people, that In what
ever you might ask me to do, l
would serve faithfully, AND
Loyalty as I have always DONE
Early, in explaining the case tc
newspapermen, carefully pointed
out that the action had nothing te
do with Censorship of free
speech of the press. He suggested
that if Mr.. Roosevelt had wished
to gag" either Lindbergh or John.
son he might merely have ordered
them to active duty. AS such they
would be unable to criticize theil
commander in-chief.

Johnson Reveals
Letter in Answer
To Roosevelt

disclosed contents OF the letter he
had originally written TO the
President.
He also issued a statement in
which he accepted the edict of his
commander-in-chief, about which
no good soldier would have a
word TO say" but protested the
Presidents declaration the war
department had no place for him.
johnson pointed out:
AZ have had more personal
and actual experience In indus
trial and manpower mobiliza-
ton than any officer 1 know.
have been repeatedly told by
the war department officials
that my name was near the top
of the list to be called on these
specialties."
johnson, a brigade commander
in the early part of the World
War later was chosen 10 direct
the draft under which 100000
men were selected for war service.
I'M JUST OVERWEIGHT
Johnson likewise took strong
exception to a phrase IN the White
House letter, informing him of the
Presidents decision, which indi-
Gated that he might be found
unfit for active service.
He asserted succinctly:
se I'm just overweight"
White House Secretary Stephen
T. Early, in commenting on the
Presidents action also pointed out
that Johnson had taken no train
ing as a reserve officer for a
number of years. To this John
son retorted:
81 wouldn't he of much use
except in industrial or man
power mobilization. Who would
train me on that? Also reserve
officers have no chance for
training except when called.
I've never been called"
HOPING AGAINST CALL
In his letter to Mr.. Roosevelt,
Johnson explained that he was
more or less hoping against hope
that he would not be called be-
cause of the cut in income he
would have to take, but he stated:
81 have a horror of having 1t
said that 1 tried to escape an
obligation to immediate service
by any Notwithstanding a lapse
In my commission"
Johnson explained that this was
his main reason for writing and
asking whether the President in
tended to reappoint him. His CON-
mission lapsed on April 10. six
days prior to the date of the
letter.
THE reserv commission,
Johnson wrote means nothing
TO me in either prestige or adj
vantage-nOthing at all other
wise except a standing one-way
ticket to potential grief"
In a postscript he added:
"May 1 emphasize again that
IL seems to me that l am not
here asking any favor to myself
and to recall that throughout
our entire association, 1 never
did"
