New York, Sept. 25. General Hugh S. Johnson, up- the of administrator painted National Recovery Act in June, 1933, resigned to-day.

General Johnson was picked by President Roosevelt as the man to -force the N.R.A., which was de- aigned to put industry back on Its feet following the years of depres sion and consequent unemployment.

The N.R.A. was admittedly a desperate sort of remedy and was to operate, at the most, for n two-year period.

General Johnson's task was un arduous one, and more than once. he has come into donflict with various groups. In recent months he has had points of difference with the general administration and his resignation, in view of this fact, was not altogether un- expected.
