Ross, president Truman’s official

newsmen, is dead.
The president’s press secretary
succumbed at 5:50 p.m. yesterday

president of the United States.

“It was characteristic of Char
lie Ross that he was holding a
press conference when the sum
mons came,” Mr. Truman said in
program will be presented at
9:30 p.m. on Mondays.

the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, had
just reported to about 40 news
men on the second conference of
the president and prime minis

Brig. Gen. Wallace H. Greham,
the president’s physician, rushed
up from the White House base

aware of this.
The president and Ross grew
up together in Independence, Mo.,
where Ross was born.

won a Pulitzer Prize in 1931 for
