Notes:
AMDigital Reference:P511/1/1/4.
Long, detailed letters (Summer 1939) discussing his work on the passage of the bill - people whom he met and talked with, etc. He is trying to convince the California legislature to come out in favor of the bill List of members of CA division of committee Memo from CA division of committee about Wagner-Rogers Bill Numerous telegrams from Johnson to Kenworthy Letter, 6/16/39, from MEK to Johnson about which members of the House and Senate Committees are voting for or against the bill 'It is unfortunate that there just isn't an adequate male to talk to these lobbyists. [Acting Director Clarence E.] Pickett will cooperate and be willing to go down, but his mildness may not be useful. Feel that it is tremendously important to get some good person in the place of [Washington Secretary Agnes King] Inglis or [Miss Elizabeth] Eastman because of the limitations of their femaleness, and we will keep working on this and if we can turn up anyone who is adequate I'll wire you.'.
