Only 31, Colonel Johnson attended the University and West Point be fore entering the army. He finished at the United States military acad emy in 1934. Colonel Johnson, who was respon sible for the guard, the air raid pro tection, and the police of the entire area, writes: "If you watch the news reels you can probably see the President rid ing in one of my jeeps with General Patton, myself and his personal bodyguard sitting on the back seat. We saw everyone-all of the world's great-come and go. It was a thrill ing experience . . . I was privileged to hear the only press conference of the meeting-the day they left. After it, the President shook hands with me, my Executive Officer, and the Company Commander. Then, Churchill thanked me and we shook hands around again-was really amazed that they thought of such things." Word has reached the Alumni of fice that during the fighting at Casa blanca, Colonel Johnson's transport was sunk and all of his possessions lost. Colonel Johnson was on a barge when the ship was sunk, it is reported. He is married to the former Miss Betty Betz, of Tacoma, Wash., and Glendale, Calif.
