The Navy's "Lady Lou," will never go to the scrap heap if a group of Louisvillians can help it. "Lady Lou," is the cruiser Louisville, a veteran of World War II battles from one end of the Pacific to the other. Now al most 30 years old, the cruiser was one of 100 ships the Navy recently asked Congress for per mission to scrap. This proposal brought an im mediate response from the group in her namesake city, who began investigating the possibility of acquiring the veteran warship and bringing it up the Mississippi and Ohio rivers to a final moor ing on Louisville's riverfront. The bill to permit the scrap ping of the ships was lost in the Congressional gristmill for this term, and "Lady Lou," gained a reprieve, but her backers feel that this just gives them more time to get ready for action when her Navy days finally do come to an end. Their proposals to turn the cruiser into a permanent war memorial in the Ohio river would mean quite an under taking. Probably Two-year Job River engineers say it would be feasible to float the ship up t the Mississippi and Ohio in the spring of the year when the riv ers are at their highest point. She would have to be stripped to lighten her, and then her su perstructures would have to be removed temporarily to get under some of the bridges. It might take two years or more, and the total cost for tow ing and other expenses would run well into six figures. Still, the proponents of the plan believe it could be done, and that much of the cost of the operation and subsequent main tenance of the vessel could be met by admission charges for public viewing of the ship. They point out that the battle ship Texas is now moored in a permanent slip at the San Ja cinto Battleground State Park near Houston, and is virtually self-supporting. The people of Oregon also succeeded for a number of years in preserving the battleship Ore gon of Spanish-American War fame, but during World War II the old battlewagon was first used as an ammunition barge, and finally was broken up for scrap.
