Johnson blasts Senate NRA bill. General Hugh S. Johnson, first administrator of the NRA, left, tells the House Ways and Means committee that the Senate NRA extension resolution will kill NRA after 10 months. Johnson said it would be a R1174352 "catastrophe to accept only a 9 1/2 months extension as proposed by the Senate." He said he favored a 2 year extension. Johnson is shown here with Chairman Robert L. Doughton. 5/24/35
