Federal Move Is Taken In Attempt To Settle Threatened Rail Strike
The Air Force names Gen. Curtis E. Le May to lead strategic command as Gen. George C. Kenney moves to the Air University. The shift includes Lt. Gen. John K. Cannon returning to Europe as air forces commander there, with no new head for the air training command announced. Federal move opens to avert a pending rail strike by 1,000,000 workers as mediation boards plan talks in Chicago to settle wage and hours disputes between carriers and 16 non operating brotherhoods.
