During the war, he served for
a brief period as President
Roosevelt's emissary to India and
was active in other phases of the
war. He moved into the national
picture when Mr.. Truman named
him chairman of the Democratic
Finance Committee. When Mr..
Truman was elected, it was
regarded only as a matter of time
before he would be called to a
high Office.
Responsibility Great.
The one to which he has been
appointed is one of the most i'm
portant in the administration as
it wages the "cold war" against
Russia and her satellite nations.
AS Secretary of National De-
fense, Mr.. johnson will have the
responsibility OF seeing that the
country is ready and able to wage
atomic warfare. He believes,
decidedly, that the country is not
planning adequately for such an
emergency. In his testimony be-
fore the Senate group. he
remarked:
I'm the next war, If it comes.
and God forbid, we are not going
to have any Pearl Harbor. We are
going to have. if they can get away
with it, so Hiroshimas in these

1t will be one of his first tasks
to see that there is planning-in
