,,s - NEW YORK. Jan. 20 (AP).-
The New York Central Rail-
road announced it had gone
, into the open market yesterday
ito purchase shares Of the Balti-
Z more & Ohio Railroad.
Alfred Perlman, Central
president. refused to say
whether or not the road would
continue to buy. In the past
two days B6so stock has scared
in price.
The purchases are the newest
twist in the fight between the
Central and the Chesapeake &
Ohio Railway for control Of the
B&O.
In Washington, an official Of
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission said the railroad regu-
latory agency was investigating
the heavy trading in B6SO
. stock.
u, In Wall Street circles, 1t was
reported directors Of the Gen.
tfal last week authorized the
Central to buy 10000 B&1O
shares ip the open market.
It was also considered pos
!, sible that Allegheny Corp. and
the coo bought B&O stock
Wednesday, but neither would
admit It.
After the initial transactions
yesterday, dealings In B&O
shares were suspended. It was
reported heavy selling orders
were in the market.
(, The Central in September.
1859 borrowed $40 million from
banks at five per cent interest.
It asked for. and got, q guar
antee from the ICC for the
loan. The money was wanted
to reimburse the roads treas
siry for funds spent on capital
improvements.
The Central-also Allegheny
Corp. which controls the Gen.

petition Of the Gao before the
ICC for approval Of the C&O's
plan to exchange stock with
B6so stockholders. z

Ten Pins Get Popular
Washington used to be known
as a "duckpin" town, the
phrase for the smaller pins.
Virtually 100 per cent Of this
type in 1947, the industry has
since been adding the large
ten-pins at a steady clip. Today
there are still over 1000 COM
mercial duckpin lanes but
also about 750 commercial ten
pin. lanes plus $50 Of the, latter
type used by armed services
here, according to industry
sources.
The Pentagon Center is
betting on tenpjns and offers
only this type for bowling.
In case the .customer grows
weary with exercise, he'll be
able to relax in q 500-person
banquet room next to the
alleys. And some time. next
year, the ice rink win be en-
closed to let him doze as o
spectator too.
AS a final touci1s the center
also houses q travel bureau

Fair Warning

house in Tennessee and he'll
whip out a batch of color
pictures, like a proud father
showing off his first Off
spring. The house, says the
Senator, "maXimizeS Tennes-

The outside, believe it or
not, is pink marble. The
marble comes from the same
Tennessee quarry that furn-
ished the highly polished
pink marble for The National
Gallery of Art here. But
this marble was cut by stone
masonS, and is rough and
Stone-lke in appearance.
Several of the rooms are
wood-paneled, one with cy-
press from Tennessee's Real
Foot Lake. The lake, said
the Senator, was created in
1912 by the largest quake on
the North American contin-
ent, which caused the Missis-
sippi River to back up 35
miles. A friend Of the Cores
dredged the log up from the
bottom of the lake.

Democratic women are ze-
roing in on the Peace Corps
as the chief focus of their
discomfort with the jobs
women are getting on the
New Frontier.
BY some inexplicable bit
Of chemistry, a great many
women around the country
seem to have simultaneously
reached the conclusion that
this was the unkindest cut
of all when not one woman
was included in the top Is
persons named to run the
Peace Corps.
This was one of the strong
themes in the letters Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt received in
such volume that she went
to the White House to tell
President Kennedy women
felt they were being given
short shrift on the New From
tier and to bring him a
three-page list of qualified
women. (To date there have
been just nine women among
more than 260 presidential
appointments
Other leading Democratic
women thought to be in a
position to influence the
President report a similar
increase in the volume and
direction of their mail.
One woman, like Mrs.
Roosevelt one of the nine
women appointees to date, is
so exercised by the absence
OF women from the Peace
Corps that she has written
President Kennedy a per-
sonal letter on the subject.
Women, with their strong
strain of idealism, obviously
have found the Peace Corps
a program to which they can
respond warmly. That they
have SO responded, in large
numbers, is shown by the
fact that twice as many wom-
en- as men have expressed
interest in serving overseas .
Given this circumstance. it
is "unthinkable" that at
least one woman would not
be a part of the new agency's
top command, many women
feel.

The Charm OF A Bootstrap

timore an alley It contained 10
residences varying from 10 to 10
feet in width. Twelve years ago
the internationally known painter,
Edward Rosenfeld, was looking
around in Baltimore for a home.
In Tyson Street, he found houses
which had been in bad condition
for years, trashy yards, doors hang
ing on broken hinges, sorry mess
which had been condemned as a
health menace and a fire trap.
Just what an artist would like to
work on Rosenfeld brought a
house for $500, and started work,
making repairs, improving facili-
ties. painting. And all at once there
was an invasion of antique dealers,
interior decorators, and other art
lists. They realigned stairways,
built partitions, worked over the
floors. spending an average of
$4,000 per house Paint was used
with a wild lack of inhibition.
Patios were developed with lily
ponds and tiny gardens. Now Ty-
son Street is rainboW-hued and
utterly dripping with charm. If
YOU want to mention money, you
can say this: in 1916 all the houses
could have been bought for less
than $4,000 and today they're
worth a quarter of million. But
that's not the point. The point is
the beautiful result of this boot

Depressed Areas Bill Passes The
Senate-On Wednesday night the
Senate passed the Depressed Area
Bill and sent it on to the House
of Representatives for considera+
ton. The bill as passed was very
much like the bill which our Com
mittec on Banking and Currency
had reported
The bill would authorize a total
of 300 million dollars in Federal
loans and IS million in Federal
grants TO encourage new businesses
and industries to locate in eco
nomically distressed communities
This assistance would be broken
down as follows:
100 million in loans for industrial
projects in non-rural areas; 100
million in loans for industrial prof.
ects in rural areas; 100 million in
loans for public facilities water
systems, sewer systems, generating
plants, etc) needed for CONNER
cial and industrial operations; and
IS million in grants for public
facilities needed by commercial
and industrial enterprises.
In addition to these sums, the
bill provides grants of; 10 million
annually to be used for subsist-
ence payments of unemployed
worker learning new skills; 4.5
million annually to assist States in
providing adequate retraining facil-
tiles for the unemployed; and As
million annually to assist the
States in conducting studies and
planning for the full development
of their economic growth potential.
The measure as passed by the
Senate authorized a total outlay
of 1874 million dollars. On the con-
troversial issue of how the measure
should be financed, authorization
was given for direct borrowings
from the Treasury to provide the
three O0-million-dollar loan funds,
