AMERICAN LEADERS
RECOVERY ADMINISTRATION THREAT OF LIBEL ACTION WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 Mr. Donald Richberg, General Hugh Johnson's successor as head of the N.R.A., advises the publishers of the Saturday Evening Post that he will sue them for libel if excerpts they propose publishing from General Johnson's book " include certain definitely described attacks upon me, which, if made, would be untrue and maliciously libellous and designed wholly for the purpose of doing me harm." General Johnson has recently been endeavouring to embarrass the' Government by his criticism, saying that " the N.R.A. is as dead as the dodo, and you know the dodo is extinct." It is hinted that the Government may suppress the Saturday Evening Post if it publishes the matter to which objection is taken.
