John J. Carson was a 20th-century American politician who served in the Truman Administration as a commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from 1949 to 1953.[1] A Republican who was nominated to one of the party's posts on the FTC, he nevertheless drew ire from his own party owing to his past association with a group of business cooperatives.[2]
Carson was born in Smith Valley, Indiana, an unincorporated community south of Indianapolis, where he grew up.[1]
