The resignation came in the form
of a letter to the president and was ac
cepted by -Mr. Roosevelt in another let
ter which complimented Johnson on
his hard work and assured the NRA
chieftain of continued friendship.
At the same time, it was made plain
that today’s Resignation of Johnson
was far from the first time the NRA
chief had tried to quit. Several times
before, Johnson has submitted inform
ally and orally to the president his
re.signation. It was never before ac

reasons in^some measure for giving
up his job, pointing to pressing pri

Johnson in his letter‘called the pres
