NRA CHIEF HITS AT‘MALICIOUS’ PRESSELEMENT Garbling of Important News Attacked Bitterly by Gen. Johnson. By United Prest S CHICAGO. Aug. 3—Swinging right and left in the scorching rhetoric he has made famous, Gen. Hugh Johnson last night attacked a ‘‘malicious” element of the press, defended the policies of President Roosevelt and assailed "arm chair ■ economists,” who deny that recovery has come. Speaking in the huge Lagoon the- ! ater of the World's fair, the NRA administrator cited the fair Itself as proof that economic progress has been made. ‘‘Does it argue nothing for the President's program,” he asked, “that business was able to put millions more into this venture this year, and that our people can return here in so much greater numbeis?” "We welcome criticism,” he said, “but we would prefer it to be true, and many of our opponents' statements are not one inch short of libel on the public welfare.” From defense of NRA’s economic position the general switched to a smoking assault on newspaper opponents, whom he described as "a weariness to the heart and a grievous ailment to the stomach ” Reporters, he said, are forced to ‘‘prostitute their talents in libelous and misleading stories pandered as news at the behest of opinionated bosses.” *‘l protest that it is not freedom of the press,” he added, “to suppress or garble important news of public affairs which happens not to be in accord with some editorial policy or I opinion.” 1
