Brotherhood Chairman Dies
7e%stityiing Before Board

lplaining the "gentlemen's agree
ment" that kept the Brotherhood
from striking during the war years
over issues that went back in some
cases to 1898.
He turned to pick up a report
of the last board that studied the
demands - the panel appointed
bv the late President Roosevelt
in 1915 declaring he wanted to
enter it in the record of his 1947
board.
As he leaned over the table,
he swayed and collapsed into the
arms of Hobart, He was pronounc-
ed dead by Dr.. Shelby P. Strange
summoned from the hotel.
During the strike Peterson
clung adamantly to his stand that
all 20 issues must be settled be-
fore the walkout would be called
off.
Not until 1890 a. m. yesterday
did he finally waver and agree to
accept the company's offer to
grant IS of the issues if the Brot-
herhood would withdraw the re
naming five, including n for an
increase of 1922 in daily mini
NUNS.
The strike touched off a bar
rage of protests from western
farm and industrial organizations
and brought chargesfrom Congress
sional delegations in Washington,
D. c., that it was without justifi-
cation.
Peterson had been general
chairman of the unit for more than
20 years. Prior to that he had liv-
ed in Sparks, New, where he was
an engineer on the Salt Lake di-
vision of the Southern Pacific.

Soil Mold May
 Cure Influenza
Friday. May IS. ls%7

PHILADELPHIA, (P)-A green and black soil mold that shows promise to furnishing a drug rem edy for influenza was announced to the society of American batter iologists here today.
 There are vaccines for flu, but no drugs that specifically cure it. The mold shows some specific curative effect on chicken em- bryos and mice with influenza. It has not been tried on humans.
 The report was made by doctors A. J. Liebman, D. E. Ledmtin and G. A. Synder, of Schenley Distil- lers corporation, Larchmont, N. Y.
 Just where the earth came from the authors of the report said they did not know.
 The fact that the origin of this mold is not specifically known will make no difference if it should prove a remedy for flu, since cultivation of the original sample would furnish sufficient "seed" for all purposes.

WASHINGTON (P)-The White House said today that President Truman may announce a directing head for the Greek-Turkish aid program when he signs the $4c0,- 0OO,O military and economic as- sistance measure, probably tomor- row.

 Tt depends on whether the President has lined up the man he wants," Ross explained.
 The appointment is one two ma- jor ones the President must make for foreign programs.
 The other is a head for the gen. eral foreign relief program @on which Congress is nearing final action.
 MT. Truman is reported to have Richard F. Allen, a Red Cross vice chairman, under considera- ton for that job.

ROME, (R - President Enrico de Nicola asked Francesca Saver io Nitti today to form new Ital- ian government. Aged Vittoria Emanuele Orlando, Word War I premier, is willing to participate in the new cabinet, de Nicola said.
 Nitto, 70-year-old independent who was premier before the rise of Mussolini, was exepected to form broadly-based government of National Unity to succeed the Communist Socialist Christian Democrat coalition headed by Christian Democrat Alcide de Gasperi. De Gasperi resigned Tuesday.
 The task apparently was assign ed Nitti because of his reputation as financial expert. Italy's lat est government crisis arose prin- cipally over her economic prob lems.
