Italians Forming
New Government
ROME, (VP) — President Enrico
de Nicola asked Francesco Saver
io Nitti today to form a 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 a 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 a financial expert. Italy’s lat
est government crisis arose prin
cipally over her economic prob
lems.

Soil Mold May
Cure Influenza
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 bater
iologists here today.
There are vaccines for flu, but
no drugs that specifically cure it.
j 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-j
lers corporation, Larchmont, N. Y.
Just where the earth came from!
the authors of the report said they;
did not know. i
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.
