ure OF the lines. will be taken only

Although officials stlll have high
hopes that the strike will be avert
ed. preparations for any emergency
we're placed before the cabinet by
the various department heads.
Il appeared probable that In the
near future President Hayding would
either call the railroad Nexecutives
and the union heads into conferences
az the White House or appeal "a
them 10 get together and settle their
differences.
