Calvin Johnson MCAA Convention Speaker

William Picco, Convention Chairman, has announced that Calvin D. Johnson will be the featured speaker on the Monday morning program.

Calvin D. Johnson is one of America's outstanding contemporary speakers. In the course of his public life he has addressed hundreds of business, civic and fraternal organizations and has stimulated the thinking of many Americans to a new hope in the future of our country.

He began early his career in the public's service. A resident of Belleville, Illinois, he served as a member of the School and Park Boards of his community; four years as a member of St. Clair (Illinois) County Board of Supervisors, six years as a member of Illinois General Assembly.

As a member of the St. Clair County Board of Supervisors, he brought about the disclosures of large scale tax graft.

As a member of the Illinois General Assembly organized the drive to break the Loan Shark and Collection Agency Rackets of Southern Illinois. Appointed to the Woodward Commission he exposed relief racketeering and brought about legislation to stop it.

He was the sponsor of the "Johnson Work or Do Eat Law" which forced every able-bodied man relief to work and earn the amount of his budget.

Elected to the United States Congress in 1942, continued his fight for the American people. He opposed and forced the abandonment of the program whereby the American taxpayers money was used to pay farmers of Peru not to raise cotton. He disclosed and forced the abandonment of the United National Relief and Rehabilitation Administration's Europe Farm Machinery Program under which one-half million pieces of farm equipment were scheduled to be shipped to European countries, many of which lay behind the Iron Curtain today.

His concern for the traditional American Ideals. Freedom is inherited from his ancestors who landed Jamestown in the early 1600's. Born near Fordsville Ky., Mr. Johnson is a descendent of the famous pioneer Kentucky surgeon Ephriham McDowell, whose likeness stands in the Statuary Hall in the Nation's Capitol (continued on page 34)
