Left Over in District

Efectsacf the Presidentss defici-
ency appropriation bill in the Dis
trict would be to recover for the
Treasury comparatively small funds
left over from previous appropria-
tions for projects here.
It would cancel, for instance, a
$500 balance left from the con-
struction Of the first unit of the new
War Department (to be the State
Department. Building at Twenty
first and Virginia avenue NV;
$3.50 left over from the construc-
ton of the Federal Triangle group;
$46,914 left over from the Social
Security and Railroad Retirement
Building.
Also it would reduce the money
which the Federal Public Housing
Authority has on hand for war
housing in Washington by $S5, ,46s,
and take away from the Agriculture
Department $1s2, ,400.18 left when it
transferred its agricultural research
center from Arlington to Beltsville

a dive at 1000 feet, crashed in a
field and burned.
Described by Gen. Carl A. Spaatz.
commanding general of the Army
Air Forces, as one of Americas most
DISTINGUISHED airmen, Col. johnson
was said to have piloted the plane
more than 600 hours.
Also killed were Staff Sergt. Ken
meth F. Wood, whose wife, BesSy
Nav, and 3-month-old daughter
live in Indian Head, Md, and Ma
rine Pvt. Edward j. Malovic, IT. OF
Cleveland, who had hitcth-hiked a
ride.
Headed Toward Denver.
Col. johnson, whose home is In
Cleveland, had left Boiling Field
Friday afternoon to make tour
of CAP units throughout the coun-
try. His plane was headed IN the
direction of Denver when it crashed.
Recommended last month by
Gen. Spaatz for the Distinguished
Service Medal for inspiring leader
ship and devotion to duty In the
peacetime CAP, Col. johnson also
was awaiting Senate approval OF
promotion to brigadier general.
He assumed leadership Of the
CAP in April, 1912, succeeding MAI.
Gen. John F. Curry. But months
before he helped organize CAP in
1941 he welded hundreds OF ONO
pilots into a State wing OF the Clvll
Air Defense Services, and they later
provided nucleus for the patrol.
Col. johnson had joined the ma
tional headquarters staff of CAP as
assistant executive officer in De-
cember, 1941, and the next month
became executive officer. He had
entered the Army as captain.
Early in 1912 the patrol was called
upon for antisubmarine warfare
along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
and other missions. President
Roosevelt showed his appreciation
on April 20, 1943, by designating
CAP as an auxiliary of the AAF.
Aerial Home Guard.
Since the war the CAP has served
as an aerial home guard to assist
in case of flood. storm, train wrecks
and other emergencies, as well as
for prefight training for cadets.
Born January 20, 1895, in Great
harrington, Mass, Col. johnson
moved with his family to Paines-
vile, Ohio, in 1900. The family
moved to a farm which Col. john
son still owned and operated.
Col. johnson, who graduated from
Ohio State University in 1919, was
a tackle on the university's first
Western Conference championship
football team of 1916 and the ur-
beaten team of 1917. ~.
Becoming interested in aviation in
1929, he held commercial pilots
license and AAF rating as a service
pilot. He served as Ohio State direc-
tor of aeronautics and director OF
the National Aeronautics Associa-
tion, which mapped the formation
OF CAP.
In addition to farming, his civilian
business interests included real es-
tate and at one time he was vice
president of a Cleveland brewing
company.
He was on leave from the CAP from
July, 1945, to last March to serve on
the board of the Foreign Liquidation
Commission which directed disposal
of surplus aeronautical property in
foreign countries. This service took
him all over the world.
Col. johnson Is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Doris E. johnson of
Cleveland, and his mother, Mrs.
Nellie A. johnson.

smoked on his practice day, he
found counting a nuisance. So he
changed his goal to seven - two
after each meal and one at bed
time.
s. Play The game honestly. Your
will power is likely to give way
now and then with a "just this
time" But if you stick to the rules
and forfeit the penalty Immediately
for each breach of contract, you'll
win. But don't postpone that
penalty. No I.O.U's!
lou may still find it neces-
sary to change or add regula-
iions from time to time. The
man who broke his habit of sarcasm
started with the rule that he could
not say anything that could be
construed as rudeness. But in his
second week he found that when he
analyzed doubtful conversations,
he always felt justified for his own
remarks. He changed the rule:
whenever he had misgivings he
would pay the penalty.
7. Erainaie the results after a
reasonable time. The reports from
the guinea-pig group revealed that
q players had broken at least one
bad habit each, and all were con-
tinuing under their own power.
The breaker of thoughtless table
manners was salesman. Il can't
prove that it isn't coincidence"

8. Unbin those haloes. Whatever
you do about making yourself
over, don't pin any haloes over
your head. It's a worse habit than
whatever you've broken. Remem-
Der the gag about the deadly bore
who broke himself of smoking. but
couldn't break himself of Dragging
about it.
3. Don't 60 dropping hints abom
the habits of friends. Their habits
are their own business. If you
don't like them, either keep still or
change friends.
10. Don't let slip discourage you.
Our man who cut out smok-
ing entirely had, on his doctors
orders, quit year before; but
after two months he'd gradually
slipped back to pack a day. Once
in while now he has smoke.
But it hurts him financially, SO
he doesn't do it often enough
to hurt him physically. In his
pocket he keeps an envelope ad-
dressed to the American Cancer
Society. For every cigarette he
smokes, the Society receives a
dollar.
So pay the penalty skip des-
sert, if that's what it takes, and
tighten up your desire along with
your belt. Persistence in the game
is what will give any bad habit a
beating. - INGRAM SEE
