Johnson, Louis (Arthur)

    0.01 sec.

Johnson, Louis (Arthur) (1891-1966)

US administrator. As assistant secretary of war 1937-40, he modernized the army. He was finance chairman for President Truman's 1948 campaign, and was secretary of defence 1949-50, but his plans for restructuring the military forces angered navy admirals and the administration, forcing his return to law practice.

He was born in Roanoke, Virginia. He was a lawyer in West Virginia, and served as an army colonel in World War I. He commanded the American Legion 1932-33.
