Died. William Eugene ("Pussyfoot") Johnson, 82, genial, world-famed prohibition zealot; of a bladder ailment; in Binghamton, N.Y. No fainthearted saint, Boozebuster Johnson admittedly lied, bribed, even downed drinks to pile up evidence against the Demon Rum. Appointed by Theodore Roosevelt in 1906 to combat bootlegging in Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), he got 4,400 convictions, lost five deputies, shot. On a teetotaling world tour in 1919, he cheerfully lost an eye but won admirers in a free-for-all slugfest with unregenerate London tipplers. Quiescent since 1929, Crusader Johnson once confessed: "The more I talked, the wetter the country got, so I decided I'd better dry up."
