Constellation 10 Be Junk
II NOT Shifted by June y
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. 18.-The
. old frigate Constellation must be
IN Baltimore by June % or it
will go to the scrapyard.
A Navy Department spokes-
man said yesterday that dead
line was set several months ago
when President Eisenhower
signed a bill authorizing removal
OF the 158-year-old warship from
the Boston Navy Yard to Balti-
more, where it will become a
national shrine.
Legislation authorizing the
transfer also stipulated that a
sum of 100000 be put up by
local authorities.
If the money is not raised and
the vessel not transferred by the
deadline date, the Constellation
will be strapped, the spokesman
said.
The Baltimore Board of Esti-
mates last January set aside
$4,000 as the city's share for
putting the Constellation in a
concrete bed at Fort McHenry.
Gov McKeldin placed a similar
amount in the State budget for
1856, but so far that section
OF the budget has not been con-
sidered by the General Assem-
bly,.

White House Stays
lin Background as
LIN Strike Goes On
BY The Assoeiaisd Pres,

LOUISVILLE, KY, Mar. 18s-
THE White House remained in
.the background today as nego-
citations continued to end the
Louisville g. Nashville Railroad
strike, which has disrupted busi-
ness in IA States.
The seriousness of the five
day-old walkout was pointed out
to the President yesterday by
kentucky Gov. Lawrence Weth-
;erby. He asked that the Rail-
road Emergency Board be recon-
.vened or a new one named ito
fix the facts in this dispute"
Gov. Wetherby also:
; l. Urged Governors of other
States in the strike area to send
similar kilograms to Mr.. EiSen-
-hower.
. 2. Raised Kentucky's truck
weight limit from $4,000 gross
pounds to $4,000 on certain
highways to break the trans
-portation emergency. Gov. Weth-
-erby said this would assist in
the rapid movement of freight
by motor carriers, now handling
about $500 tons of additional
freight daily.
= Watching Situation
: In Washington, Presidential
Press Secretary James c. Hag-
-erty said the White House is
watching the situation. He in
!: dicated. however, nothing would
/: be done while the National Rail-
+: way Mediation Board is trying to
: settle the dispute.
The L&N's president, John
: E. Tilford, said yesterday he was
ready to put the issues before an
|: emergency board, but George E.
Leighty, spokesman for the 10
. striking AFL unions of non
operating workers, said he could
. not be sympathetic with such a
course"
, After canceling all passenger
schedules, the LIN imposed
an embargo yesterday on live
stock and perishables moved over
the 4,737-mile system. 1t also
takes in the Nashville, Chatta- I
nooga & st. Louis railway and |
the Clinchfield Railroad. Freight
operations still were reported to
be about so to rs per cent of |
normal"
The board that Gov. Weth-
erby referred to In his telegram
was created in 1853 to establish
basis for settling a dispute be-
tween the incorporating unions
and the Nations railroads.
Acting on the boards recon-
mendationS, the unions and 80
per cent of the Nations rail-
roads later reached agreements
on contract improvements, in
Guiding better health and well
fare programs.
LIN Bowed Out
The LIN bowed out of the
negotiations later, claiming it had
a better health and welfare plan.
This led to the current strike.
At Atlanta, freight and passen-
ger service of the Atlanta Joint
Terminals and three railroads
were tied up by striking non-op-
Grating employees.
Railroads affected were the
Atlanta 81 West Point, the Geor-
gia Railway Co., and the Western
Railway of Alabama. The Joint
Terminals move traffic in the At
lanta area.
S. r. Young, president of the
three railroads and the Joint
Terminals, said the men were
striking over a health and well
fare payment plan which has
ldled operations of the LIN and
NC&L railroads.

Molly's pleasant problem arose when she
became featured vocalist on the Pinky Lee
