...have never met General Hugh Johnson," wrote Mr. Pegler, "so I don't think I can be accused of log-rolling or back-scratching when I remark that 'Old Iron' pants,' as the boys used to call him around the NRA, is turning out a really good newspaper column these days. This is a bit of a surprise. . . . Whenever it was that Old Ironpants made his first attempt at this line of work, he seemed to be writing with his elbows, and apparently didn't have what it takes...
