Speedy Advancement.
Gen. johnson. who, in the World
War, rose from captain to briga-
dier general within a single year,
wanted to help lead the Army in
preparing for it's present battles.
But on April 80, 1e41, the White
House announced that his applica-
tion for reappointment as a Reserve
officer had been refused by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The White House
emphasized that Gen. Johnson's
constant newspaper attacks on the
administrations foreign policy had
nothing to do with the refusal
After denouncing the New Deal
as rule by radicals" in 1885. Gen.
johnson had supported President
Roosevelt in his 1896 campaign
against ALI M. Landon. But four
years later he was in the Repub-
lican camp, among the first to back
Wendell l.. Willkie for the presi-
dency.
Gen. Johnson was born August S,
1882, at Fort Scott, Kans.. the son
of a struggling lawyer. Bad times
at the start OF the nineties caused
the family to head southwest over
the prairie schooner trails into the
territory that was to become Okla
homa. There upon those flatlands
the boy was reared among frontiers
men and Indians.
He was graduated from West Point
in 1903; married Helen Klbourne in
1904; served briefly in the Philip
pines; received his law degree from
the University of California in 1916;
went into Mexico that summer with
the Pershing expedition and from
that duty went to the War Depart
ment legal staff-a post he held
when the United States entered the
World War.
Worked for Baruch.
After leaving the Army early In
1919 he became counsel and assist
ant general manager of the Moline
Plow Co., Moline, Ill. He organized
and was chairman OF the Moline
Implement Co. in 1925; but before
long went to New York to do
economic research for Bernard
Baruch, the financier. at a salary
that later exceeded 100000 year.
1t was this friend of war days who
did much to bring the President
and general together in the 80 cam
paign.
Taking the N. r. A. post at SAL
airy of only $4,000, Gen. johnson
was able to rally to his aid the most
experienced corps Of industrial and
labor leaders ever to assist the Gov
ernment in time of peace. Also to
desks there went his wife and their
son.
The wife sought to protect con-
sumerS' interests on a board that
advised about the codes, until i'll
health forced a rest, and the son
was special assistant in code re-
visions and adjusting difficult situ-
ationS.
Gen. johnson himself depicted
some of the youthful experiences
that fashioned his philosophy.

Bigger Bat Makes Gordon Bigger Menace
Yonk Ace Finds Majors Easier To Crash Thon Football Teonn
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, June l1-Joseph Lowell dordons batting average zooming from his .276 of last season to .3o5 in the midst of a phenomenal con- secutive game hitting streak easily makes the Oregon Short Line the greatest ball player of the day.
 Joe Gordon was considered one of the top second baSemen of all time almost from the day he broke in with the Yankees.
 How come the rapid rise in the assault and battery departmentP
 "Well, I'm watching the ball better for. one thing" says the Oregon alumnus, land then one day I accidentally picked up a heavier, bigger and longer bat. It's g Keller model, you see, but it's really Rudy York model. Joe DiMaggio adopted 1t first and then Charley Keller. It's three ounces heavier than the one I previously used, two inches longer. l nail that outside pitch with it."
 Gordon switched from shortstop to second base when he moved from the Oakland Coasters to Newark for his second year in professional ball. He did this at the suggestion of the far-seeing Yankee front office.
 Tony Lazzeri was on his last legs. Ed Barrow sought re- placement and, working with the Yankees at St. Petersburg in the

 Scout Bill Essick signed Gordon for the New Yorks when he was a junior at the University of Ore. gon, which finally graduated the young man who currently is the backbone of the world champions in '3S, with 6 Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education. The scholarly Gordon finished his edu- ctaion after going to the baseball wars.
 Gordon likes to tell you that he found crashing the er1can League easier than making the Oregon football team. He was the running mate of Bobby Grayson, who went on to play a little football at Stanford, on a remarkable Jefferson High School team ir1 Portland, Ore. He broad jumped 2I feet.
 Gordon played freshman foot ball at Eugene, but the Lemon Yellow was we'll loaded with backs In his sophomore year, SO he was denied an athletic scholar ship, probably because he weighed no more than l40 pounds.
