Hugh Samuel Johnson (1882 - 1942) was an American soldier and public administrator. He was born in Kansas in 1882. After graduating from the United States Military Academy in 1903, Johnson became an officer in the US Army. Johnson served under General John J. Pershing in Mexico during 1916 and the following year became deputy provost marshal general in Washington. When the United States entered the First World War, Johnson helped draft the Selective Service Act. By 1918 Johnson had reached the rank of brigadier general. In 1933 Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed General Hugh S. Johnson as the person to administer the National Recovery Administration (NRA). This involved organizing thousands of businesses under fair trade codes drawn up by trade associations and industries. He was recognized for his efforts when Time Magazine named him Man of the Year of 1933. Johnson became an administrator of the Works Progress Administration in 1935 but also worked for the Scripps-Howard group of newspapers during the thirties. Hugh Samuel Johnson died in 1942.
