Until the year 1617 such drugs and
medicines were in common um in
England wore sold by His apothecaries
and grocers. In that year the apothe
caries obtained a separate charter and
it was enacted at that time that no
grocer should keep an Apothecary
Shop.
In May 1618 by the Issue of a
pharmacopoeia the wardens of apo
thecaries with the censors of The Col
lege of Physicians received the au

celled its story contract with Lt.
David A. Steeves, the Air Force
pilot who survived 54 days in
the Sierra wilderness after his
plane crashed.

interviewed intensively for three
weeks and after he took a Post
writer to the cabin "where he
claims to have spent the major
portion of his survival period."

"aware" of the magazine's ac

reason to believe he's a phony."

Plans To. Combat
Epidemic of Asia
Flu To Be Aired
Washington W Surgeon
General Leroy E. Burney was to
meet today with representatives
of 13 major health organizations
to map plans for combatting a
possible epidemic of Asiatic flu
in this country this coming fall
and winter.
Burney scheduled a confer
ence with officials of the Ameri
can Medical Association, Ameri
can Ijled Cross and other leading
health groups to review latest in
formation on worldwide spread
of the new-type flu.
He said in advance of the
meeting representatives of the
AMA would describe "their plans
for mobilizing emergency use of
medical manpower in case of an
epidemic."
Burney said he also planned
to discuss with the medical lead
ers "how they may assist this
fall ;n the effort to get as many
Americans vaccinated with the
new Asian strain vaccine as the
supply will permit."
Although supplies of the new
vaccine will be too small to
reach any sizeable proportion of
the population before late fall,
U.S. Public Health Service of
ficials do not now foresee any
panicky scramble.
Rather they appear more con
cerned about public apathy and
are planning an all-out educa
tional campaign to urge every
one to get shots as soon as the
vaccine is available.

Rackets Committee
Sets Hearing Sights
On Mystery Mobster
Washington (IP) The Sen
ate Rackets Committee set its
sights today on mystery mobster
Anthony (Tony Ducks) Corallo,
described as more important in
New York than racketeer Johnny
Dio, to learn the role he played
in Teamster Union affairs.
The committee also hoped for
testimony from Samuel Gold
stein, former president of a
Teamster Union local who was
convicted last month with Dio in
a labor rackets case.
Phony 'Paper Locals'
Counsel Robert F. Kennedy
said the committee planned to
call Goldstein and Corallo after
questioning three officials of
Dio-dominated Local 649 of the
old AFL United Auto Workers:
Harry Davidoff, Joseph Curcio
and George Baker.
Kennedy said Davidoff, Curcio
and Curcio and Baker were in
volved in the establishment of
phoney "paper locals" in the
Teamsters Union in November,
1955. The committee claims these
locals were set up by Teamster
Vice President James R. Hoffa
and staffed with Dio's henchmen
to swing an election and give
Hoffa control of all Teamsters in
New York.
Corallo's name has cropped
up several times in earlier hear
ings. Committee Chairman John
L. McClellan (D-Ark.) described
him as a narcotics racket figure.
He said dues from exploited
union members provided an in
come, for "the mob" that worked
for Dio and Corallo.
Recording Played
While Dio was Invoking the
Fifth Amendment about 140
times last week, the committee
played a tape-recorded wiretap
of an alleged conversation be
tween him and Corallo, de
scribed as vice president of a
Teamster local. The tape depict
ed Corallo as giving Dio orders
and discussing top-level teamster
politics.
