Johnson Accepts Army Removal Without Criticism
WASHINGTON, April 30— (U.P)— Brig. Gen. Hugh S. Johnson tonight accepted without “criticism or complaint” President Roosevelt's refusal to renew his army reserve commission. But he challenged “misleading so-called reasons” cited by the White House for the action.
Presidential Secretary Stephen T. Early revealed earlier that Mr. Roosevelt had overruled war department recommendations by refusing to renew the reserve commission held by Johnson, newspaper columnist, first head of the NRA and sharp critic of administration foreign policy.
McClenahan Will Discuss TVA Project
First-hand information on the government's TVA project will be revealed by Dr. Bessie A. McClenahan, professor of sociology, at the Trojan Lancer’s luncheon in Elisabeth von KieinSmid hall today at 12:10 p.m.
Eureaucratic duplication of procedure on the TVA project has hindered purpose and has often led to unnecessary expenditures, Dr. McClenahan contends.
EFFECTS OBSERVED
She spent six months in the Tennessee valley on a sabbatical leave, where she observed political, social, and economic effects resulting from the five-fold government program.
“Purpose of the TVA is to create a navigable waterway from the Ohio to the Mississippi, conserve soil, rehabilitate land, manufacture fertilizer, and generate electricity.
Designed as an emergency measure during the depression, the project is now in operation, Dr. McClenahan said.
FACTS RECORDED
The effects of regional cooopera-tion on the temper of individuals concerned and how they react to such a vast program will be included in her message. Long a student of sociology, she has recorded facts observed during her residence in the Tennessee valley and will interpret them for stu dents.
Her criticism of the program is not one about purpose of govern ment interference, but concerns technicalities of administration. The AAA stressed scarcity, and the TVA's educational program stressed scientific agriculture.
Dr. McClenahan graduated from Drake university with an A.B. de gree and received her master’s de gree from the University of Iowa. She has been on the sociology staff since 1926, receiving her Ph.D, from this school in 1928.
The price of admission will be 40 cents.

Radio Workshop Experiments on Verse Drama
Two members of the radio workshop, Al Seale Jr. and Nancy Thompson, will experiment with a new technique when they broadcast a verse drama at 1:30 p.m. today over KRKD.
The technique is the “transmission of thought,” in the words of the two creators of the show. The thoughts of an American aviator flying for the RAF in Great Britain are related in verse.’ They come to an end on his lover in the United States, and he wonders what her thoughts are at the moment.
Seale said that the program is an attempt to develop a potentiality of radio in dramatic ex pression. He argued that neither the film nor the stage could express such “thought transmission as effectively as the radio.”
He and Miss Thompson conceived the show, wrote it, and will act its two parts.
