Film Leader Johnston Dead at 66
Erle A. Johnston, longtime leader and public figure in business and politics, died at 66 after a stroke suffered two months earlier. A Republican, he led the Motion Picture Association of America for 18 years and held posts with the Chamber of Commerce and several government agencies. He rose from a Seattle newspaper carrier to a major in World War I, and his career spanned law, manufacturing, and public service. Memorial services are planned at St. John's Episcopal in Washington, with burial in Spokane.
