(International) Nationwide Railroad Strike Set On Tuesday, Pending Arbitration Washington, May 7 (JJP) It is stili touch-and-go tonight in the threatened railroad strike a walkout that ' would be - felt in almost every American home. The three operating unions in volved are still posed to walk out Tun-day at dawn. However, Pres ident Truman's top labor adviser, John Steelman, has made some headway to break the stalemate. He talked with union leaders in the White House for most of the day. During this time, the Brother hood chiefs secretly laid down the terms on which they would, call off the coming strike. Late today, the huddle was broken off. Neither the President's labor ad viser nor the union heads would give any details. Yet Union President Alvanley Johnston of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers said Steel man has promised to talk to the railroads, "and then let us know." The White House added that the taiks produced, as it puts it, '"no definite results." However, the union leaders are being asked Colleges Report Pretty Brunette Stealing Things Fred Weaver, dean bf men, re ceived the following letter from Henry I.

Students -who saw her say that the young woman has light hair, which was combed straight back; is about 5'. feet 3 or 4 inches tall, and weighs about 110 to 120 pounds; that she is at tractive in appearance and has a pleasant voice. She was very clever in posing as a casual visit or and spoke in a friendly man ner to the students who met her in the corridors or on the stair ways. We have just learned that she got away with $112 at Dick inson college, and also stole small sums at Gettysburg college and Wilson college. While here she wore white shoes with soft rubber soles, and a light raincoat and scarf. At Dickinson college she is reported as having worn black shoes. It is reported that the young lady is tra-ueling irx a Lincoln-Zephyr car with a California license and the Pennsylvania State police are on the alert. We hope that she can be ap prehended ecause she appears to be a professional who makes a business of robbing college resi dence halls." s- -i to stand by for another call to morrow, presumably to be told management's answer. President William Faricy of the Association of American Rail roads and other top railroad men have already been summoned to tomorrow's White House meeting. No definite time has been set for this pow-wow. Before the union leaders went into the White House talks today, the government laid down a clear cut warning that it would seize the roads, if. necessary, to keep the trains running. Johnston though, said this threat was not mentioned by Steelman.
