How can that be said?" asked ths
general. Both physical and mental
examinations were waived by the

necescity for physical examination

Neither Mr.. Early nor any one else
has a right to say in the absence OF

CMr. Early emphasized later that
he had not said Gen. johnson was
physically unfit
Another is that the War Depart
ment did not want or intend to call
me. 1 have had more personal and
actual experience in industrial and
manpower mobilization than any

peatedly told by War Department
officials that my name was near the
top of the list to be called on these
specialties."

talked with Pa Watson" about the
appointment.
LAS to physical condition" he told
the President, there is no trouble
except that / am overweight. 1t is
unimportant because 1 could not as
sumo active duty without a physical
examination anyway"
Gen. johnson added in his letter
that a call to active duty would be
serious problem" to him because
his income and obligations had been
increased by reason of his writing
Il mention these things" he wrote,
"to show that have the reverse of
any selfish interest in seeking reap
pointment. But I have a horror OF
having it said that I tried to escape
an obligation to immediate service
by any device-including lapse oi
my commission"
On April /. he said, his application
was approved by Gen. George c.
Marshall, chief of staff. and the War
Department, but was held up by the
White House
This latter development inspired
Gen. johnson TO write to the Presi-
dent in a personal vein.
