NEW YORK RELIEF
Post for General Johnson WASHINGTON, June 26. President Roosevelt has appointed General Hugh S. Johnson, former N.R.A. head, to be director of work of relief for New York City in the Government’s 4,800,060,000 dollars workcreating programme. It is believed that General Johnson has accepted on the understanding that there will be no salary attached and that he will be at liberty to continue his writings, which now appear in 40 newspapers at regular intervals, commenting on public affairs. A cable last May suggested that General Johnson would return to his old .post of director of the N.R.A. at the wish of the President. He had retired eight months previously it was then reported, at the wish of tho President because he was “out of touch with the times”. The break was precipitated by a speech that the General made denouncing Union methods durmg a cotton strike.
