The girl Is Miss Mildred Oncken. 25. who is known among physiological chemists as a ranking expert in research. Miss Oncken reported that the *ay toward her suggested treatment of colds was suggested by the fact that in a laboratory employing 63 persons only the workers m a department handling acids derived from linseed oil were free of colds. None of those workers had a cold, while other employes had the normal afflictions. Linseed oil is notable for its content of Vitamin F. Pursuing the cl r w, Miss Oncken administered vitamin F to many of her rats. She discovered that no rat on the vitamin diet contracted •'snuffles.” the rate equivalent of a cold, and found that rats already infected were cured by administration of the vitamin. Mi s Oncken didn’t say that she has found a cure for human colds, but experiments are continuing. She thinks she has.

Soldier, Lawyer, Manufacturer —and Now Columnist —That’s Gen. Johnson

BACK in the days when the NRA was a-bomlng, Gen. Hugh Samuel Johnson rode the whirlwind. He tore through masses of red tape to leave them in ribbons. His booming voice. Jutting jaw. military figure, made him a striking personage. He was the dominating, fighting, inspiring National Recovery Administrator. He worked steadily 18 hours a day. leaped from city to city in airplanes, threatened to “crack down” on business men who would not fall in line. He was as energetic as a dynamo and he brought frightened and weary people who long had taken the depression lying down suddenly to their feet. They stared in amazement at thus astounding person with the wind-tanned face and the powerful shoulders who seemed ready to lift them bodily out of their troubles. Gen. Johnson is listed in Who’s Who as soldier, lawyer, manufacturer. Now he becomes a newspaper man, writing a daily column on top of the news. The column will appear exclusively in The Indianapolis Times beginning tomorrow. He is 53 —born in Fort Scott. Kans, on Aug. 5. 1882. In his army days they called him •‘TufTy.” He wore his hat cocked to one side, spoke from the corner of his mouth, roared his orders. And when he wrote books for boys, principally about soldiers and adventurers, he showed the sentimental side of his character, for his heroes were gallant young Galahads talking in slang. a a a THE General was bom of old pioneering stock on an American frontier amid Indians and buffaloes. Ft. Scott moved in an atmosphere of bugle calls to boots and saddles when blue-clad cavalry riders were summoned to chase redskins. His father, of North Irish stock, was named Johnston. He went to Kansas from Illinois, where he had practiced law without success. Eventually he dropped the “t** from his name. From Kansas the elder Johnson moved to Oklahoma Territory where he had been appointed postmaster in the town of Alva. The General clearly remembers journeying by covered wagon the area he now often spans in airplanes. The boy lived among Cherokees. Choctaws and Comanches. He rode horseback and hunted on the prairies. During the Spanish War he ran away to enlist toth the Rough Riders, but his father collared the 16-year-old truant and brought him home. After a while he entered West Point and, a stocky, pugnacious fellow, he was singled out for special hazing. He terrorized his tormentors instead. Graduating from the military college, he was assigned to the First Cavalry at Ft. Clark, Tex. The post was monotonous for him. At West Point he had met Helen, daughter of Col. H. S. Kilbourne. Early in 1905 he married her and one son was born to them, named Kilbourna. At the time of the San Francisco earthquake his troop was rushed to the scene to care for refugees. Early in 1907 he went to the Philippines for further duty. m m a THEY tell an interesting story about the General's way of dealing with his men. Once, angry at a private brought before him. he walked up and down his office, his eyes blazing, his voice roaring. Suddenly he stopped. Out of the comer of his mouth he said: "You got the right idea but the wrong methods. Go on back and I'll make a good soldier out of you yet.” And all this while he wrote stories for boys—sentimental, heroic stories that boys loved. Month by month his writings appeared in such magazines as Scribner's, Everybody**. Century, Colliers, Hampton's and Sunset. Returning from the Philippines to the United States in 1909 he had various army posts, but Gen. Crowder advised him in 1914 to enter the legal department of the Army, where young men with brains were in demand. Young Johnson got an appointment to study law at the University of California and applied himself vigorously. In 18 months he completed with highest honors a course normally taking three years, gaining both an A. B. and J. D. degrees. Later that year. 1916. Gen. John J. Pershing started into Mexico after Villa and First Lieut. Johnson went along as judge advocate

of the expedition. Gen. Pershinp said of him: “When Johnson gets gruff he really seems ready to devour you, bones and all. Even I, as his superior officer, felt that way.” But war clouds were gathering now, A vast army of American citizens was about to be drafted into service. Gen. Crowder recalled Johnson, no wa captain, and It was Capt. Johnson who wrote the first sections of the memorandum that was to become the draft law. While Congress delayed on passage of the act, Capt. Johnson got the public printer to work secretly. By the time Congress had passed the measlure, necessary cards and forms were available instantly. Secretary of War Newton D. Baker was both pleased „ and astounded. On Armistice Day, at 38, Johnson was a brigadier-gen-eral—the youngest since the Civil War. During the war Gen. Johnson sat in as a member of the War Industries Board, aiding its chairman. Bernard Baruch, in organizing American industry under

war codes. It was this preparation that gave him the training for originating industry under the NRA codes symbolized by the Blue Eagle. n a a IT was the NRA that proevd too much for him in the end. Through all the disorganization, all the incredible ends and details of the vast program that was planned to lift the country out of the depression, he stalked, sleeping little, working long hours, meeting people, making speeches. Doctors examined him and for a while found him fit. But the strain began to tell. They told him to go on a trip. He did. He went out on a 3000mile swing around the country, barnstorming for the NRA. He hurled invectives at “witch doctors” and those who were “seeing things under the bed.” He told of dodging the “dead cats” hurled at him. His phrases became more scintillating, more brilliantly pointed, more deadly than ever.

VENIZELOS SAFE IN ITALY AFTER FLEEINGJREECE Italy Refuses to Surrender Rebel Leader, Now Political Refugee. Bf Unites Prett ROME, March 13.—Italy’s decision to treat Eleutherios Venizelos. Greek rebel leader, as a political refugee and refuse to surrender him if Greece asks his extradition, was confirmed authoritatively today. A reliable source said Venizelos would come to Italy with his wife at his earliest convenience and later go to Paris to live there with his two sons. Venizelos was taken to Rhodes Island, off the Asia Minor coast, on an Italian steamship today. With Venizelos went his staff, two senators and three deputies of the Greek parliament. Other Greek rebels who landed at Gassos, Dodecanese Islands, from the cruiser Averoff yesterday, were taken to the nearby island of Scarpanto in another Italian ship. All are under internment as political refugees, under the protection of the Italian flag. Tearfully, the 71-year-old Venizelos, veteran of European politics, said: ‘‘Greece will never see me again.” Rebels Await Fate By United Press ATHENS, March 13.—A stern program of punishment and a rigorous purge of politics were promised by the government today as thousands of dispirited rebels, their revolt now merely the basis of treason charges, awaited news of .heir fate. The government, totaling up the millions of dollars of damage done, faced the prospect of rebuilding its little navy. In prison awaiting trial were most of the Venizelist leaders who were seized by the government here. These included former Premiers Cafantaris and Papanastasiou; Lieut. Gen. Papoulas. called the leader of all Venizelist fighting organizations, and Anthony Fix, a leading brewer alleged to be one of the chief financiers of the revolt.

High D. A. R. Official Is Blamed in Naming of Mrs. Roosevelt as ‘Red’ Fierce Feud Ranges in Ranks oi Patriotic Organization as ‘Red Network’ Author Hurls Defiant Charge Against Candidate for Presidency. By United Prest CHICAGO. March 13.—Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling. whose “Red Network" split the Daughters of the American Revolution in a bitter feud, charged today that a high D. A. R. official provided documentary material for the book. The self-styled “crusading housewife” leveled her charge at Mrs. William A. Becker, national defense chairman of the Daughters and their leading candidate for president-general. The scarlet-bound volume, identified as “a who’s who and handbook of radicalism,” created a sensation with its listing of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt among 1300 persons alleged to be supporting revolutionary

trends. Mrs. Becker, whose indorsement appears on the jacket of the book, aroused Mrs. Dillon's ire when she claimed the “blurb" was used without authorization. “It was Mrs. Becker, who encouraged me to write 1 the book, saying it was just what the D. A. R. needed.” Mrs. Dilling said at her home in suburban Kenilworth. “I talked with her in the summer of 1933 here in Chicago and she turned over documentary data to me. asking that it be incorporated in the book. The data dealt with several large organizations.” The author said she received Mrs. Becker’s letter of indorsement last May 25 and on June 6 was given an order for 10 copies. The order was written, she said, on stationery of the D. A. R. national headquarters in Washington. Denounced by Rival Mrs. Becker, seeking leadership of the D. A. R. at the national election in April, is opposed by a faction led by Mrs. Flora Gillentine of Arkansas. The latter denounced the indorsement of the “Red Network" as a personal affront to the First Lady. The controverted jacket “blurb” also was hotly criticised by Mrs. William Russell Magna, the D. A. R.’s president general. Mrs. Roosevelt has remained aloof from the fracas. The author of the “Red Network” said she was becoming “a little disgusted at being called a liar and a cheat” and would be glad to produce photostatic evidence to prove that the D. A. R. National Defense Chairman was among her most ardent supporters. “Put on the Spot” She said that Mrs. Becker, embroiled in the feud as to how far the Daughters should go in fighting radicalism, called her by telephone two months ago and complained that she was “on the spot.” “She said Mrs. Magna had put her on the spot and that she was afraid she would lose out in the election for president general,” Mrs. Dilling said. “In the very same conversation she told me to keep up the good work, and asked me if I could remove her name from the jacket of

the book if she would proride the money for new jackets.” Mrs. Dilling said it was Mrs. Becker who had mimeographed copies made of her pamphlet, "The ! Red Revolution—Do We Want It?” i and distributad to D. A. R. chap- 1 ters throughout the country several years ago.

ARMY TIGHTENS GRIP ON CUBA; STRIKE WANING Loyal Troops Aid Mendieta to Save Government, Smash Walkout. By United Press HAVANA, March 13—The army held Cuba in an iron grip today and the revolutionary general strike showed strong signs of approaching disintegration. Government officials expressed confidence that it was broken and that most men would be back at work by Friday. Strike leaders confirmed this predicLon. in negative fashion, by insisting chat the strike would last at least until then. Milkmen, rattling their bottles at 5 a. m. today, broke an almost funeral silence that had persisted since 10:30 last night. A cannon fired from Cabana Fortress at 9 p. m. announced a curfew described as the strictest since the last days of Spanish domination. There were fewer persons on the streets than during any night in modern times. There were almost no motor cars. Soldiers, sailors, marines and police dominated the capital. President Carlos Mendieta. hailed as the country's most popular man when he returned from exile In the United States after the overthrow of Gerardo Machado, had staked his government's life on the army’s loyalty. Last night's curfew climaxed an order by which the army forbade assembly of even two persons in the streets.

Fake today ruled the NRA is unconstitutional as applied to intra-state commerce, and signed an injunction restraining the NRA from enforcing its provisions against Acme.
