Transfer of Howard F. Johnson from the position of superintendent, Blackfeet Agency, Browning, Mont., to the comparable position at Osage Agency, Pawhuska, Okla., effective February 15, was announced today by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Johnson, superintendent of the Blackfeet Agency for the past five and a half years, succeeds Thomas H. Dodge, who recently retired. A successor for Johnson at Blackfeet Agency has not yet been selected.
A Federal employee with more than 27 years of service, Johnson began his career with the Department of Agriculture at Navajo Agency in 1935. Five years later he transferred to the Indian Bureau as a soil technologist at the same location and subsequently served as soil conservationist and agricultural extension agent before being appointed extension supervisor in 1951.
Mr. Johnson received a Bachelor of Science degree in the field of agronomy and soils from Colorado A. and M. College in 1935 and has done graduate work in the fields of education and mathematics.
