Johnson, famous Why I Am For Roosevelt" edi torial writer of the Baltimore Evening Sun and former Caro lina journalism "prof," stopped over, in Chapel Hill yesterday afternoon on his way to a Ra leigh address date. Bumming about the Hill with his old friend and fellow newspaperman, Louis Graves; the middle-aged and greying "Sun man," considered by many critics as the outstanding edito rialist in America, pleasantly talked about the "unexpected" Democratic landslide, the erro neous predictions of the press in the election, the assassination of Lincoln, and the weather. . . . Newspapers Oft "We weren't prepared for the Roosevelt landslide none of us were," Mr. J ohnson declared. Certainly the American press guessed badly ; but even Mr. Farley hadn't really expected such a sweeping victory. Newspapers today are "big Dusmess ' enterprises tnem selves, he pointed out. .Natural- y and honestly some of the pa pers couldn't help but take the side of big business and conse quently the anti-New Deal stand. Dissenter The Sun was opposed to Roosevelt, but several men on the staff disagreed with their paper, Mr. Johnson among them. Sun Editor Owens, free speech advocate, characteristi-1 cally had Johnson express his dissenting voice in the Sun's defi nitely anti-Roosevelt columns. It was for this brilliant "Why I Am For Roosevelt", piece that many persons, outside the sub scribers to the Sun, remember Mr. Johnson; but leading jour nalists over the country have long respected the work he has been doing with the editorial policies of his paper. Fast Work Leaving Lexington and Greensboro papers, Mr. Johnson came to the University in 1924, where he stayed until '27 when he joined the Sun. At present he handles all comment on the South and, with the editor him self , national affairs. Down at the office to see his editor at 9 :15 in the morning, he and the rest of his fellow editorialists must have their "e"dits" down to the "Y Cabinets Members of the junior senior "Y" cabinet wfll meet this afternoon at 2:15" in Emerson stadium to take up tickets at the Negro foot ball gam a The members of the sophomore 'T' cabinet are asked to meet at the same time to guard the fence.
