ALLEN WASHINGTON After nearly one year of hectic, spectacular pioneering work in Washington, it looks as if General "Ride 'Em" Hugh Johnson was about to shake he dust of government service serv-ice from his feet. There have been reports that the high-pressure boss of the Blue Eagle was going1 to quit before, and there was one time last summer sum-mer that he had a definite though temporary break with the president; This time, the general gen-eral will step put if he finally decides to do so entirely for reasons of his own. First of all, he ' is tired. He has been working until all hours of the morning, has ' kept up this pace since the NRA began. Second, he is broke, has gone Into debt heavily In order to bolster his modest government sal- arjv Finally he admits that perhaps his basic Idea of industrial in-dustrial self-government may not be possible of success. The general, therefore, has laid tentative plans to let the Blue Eagle fly alone probably soon . after congress adjourns. " To 'this end a complete recasting of the whole NRA set-up has been in . progress. The pyrotechnics of la-x la-x bor - strikes - and congressional A bouts with the president largely r have obscured this, but the com-mand com-mand and poUey-frajxtog'machin- erv of the NBA today is vastly different from a month ago. Instead of everything revolving around Johnson as before, the ETueTgTeoirTi-ee has given his Number Two men real power, . . r I TWO FRIENDS Johnson's ; retirementwhen v it comes will not mean a . break with the ' admlnistra-. admlnistra-. tkra. Roosevelt probably has no more genuinely loyal and., devoted supporter than . his NRA chieftain. But despite the close friendship between-the two men, despite the all-important place ; Johnson has held in Roosevelt's scheme of things, the inescapable fact is that "Ride 'Em Hard" Hugh basically is alien to the New Deal. Between the . president's fundamental funda-mental economic philosophy and Johnson's there is a wide chasm. Roosevelt is inherently a libraJL' Johnson is not. . . Roosevelt, for instance, approaches ap-proaches the root problem of government gov-ernment and business from the viewpoint that government must rule and business be ruled. Johnson John-son has a deep and caustic con-W con-W temnt for what he calls the ) "swineishness" of business. -Few men speak more bitterly of the stupidity, shortsightedness, and downright incompetence of the great mass of businessmen. But he sees the government-business government-business issue from a widely different dif-ferent angle than his chief.
