Among other things, the plan was interpreted by Johnson as contemplating his own re tirement to private life. The general walked out when Mr. Roosevelt, seeking to soothe the ruf fled spirit of his conferees, suggested that a decision he postponed while Johnson took a rest trip to Europe. The reconciliation, so far as John son is concerned, was consummated just before Mr. Roosevelt’s departure Saturday for Hyde Park. Under its terms Johnson stays on as adminis trator and probably will become later on chairman of a board controlling XRA The implications respecting Mr. Richberg’s friends say he will remain the NRA counsel, although there will be no further doubt that Johnson is boss. Miss Perkins is expected to confine her activities more closely to the Labor Department. Hurricane In Gulf Blowing On Galveston Dallas, Texas, Aug. 27.
