PARIS, October 1l.-Incomplete re-
turns from Frances cantonal elec-
tions-which observers scanned as in
dications Of political trends-showed
an apparent swing today toward mid
dle-of-the- road liberalism
Results from approximately two
thirds OF the districts gave the more
moderate liberal parties new seats in
local governing bodies, which corre-
spond roughly to American county
and township offices.
Communists gained only few, while
Col. Francois de la Roque's Social
party, whose enemies accuse it Of
Fascist tendencies, registered slight
increases in scattered districts. Pre-
mier Camille Chautemps' Radical So
cialiStS, more moderate than the So
cialist party. maintained their strength
and observers interpreted this as
sign Of approval Of the present Ma
tional government.
-Four incumbent ministers-Marx
Dormoy, interior; Vincent Auriol, JUS
tice; Georges Bonnet, finance, and
Henri Quenille, public works-were
named to local bodies. Francois de
Tessan. undersecretary of foreign af-
fairs, and Edouard Herriot, Radical
Socialist president Of the Chamber OF

TO TRADES PEACE
Split Before Shutdown in
Election Seen Unless
He Ends Feud.
By the Associated Press.

DENVER, October /. - American
Federation of Labor building trades
leaders looked to William Green today
to settle their bitter internal feud.
Unless the federation president
succeeds in making peace between
warning factions, they said, the A. F..
of L. building trades department
probably will split before sundown.
Choice of department officers was
the outstanding issue. The majority
faction, led by William D. Hutcheson,
president Of the carpenters, has slated
Joseph A. McInerney Of the tile set
ters for president and Herbert Rivers
Of the hod carriers for secretary.
They would succeed J. w. Williams
of the carpenters and Michael j. Nc
DonouSh for the plasterers.
Threaten to Withdraw.
Minority faction leaders said they
would withdraw from the convention
and probably from the department.
if the Hutcheson group insisted upon
Rivers election.
The minority group offered last
night to vote for McInerney and ditch
McDonough if an acceptable candi-
date were slated for secretary, but
the majority group turned a deaf ear.
All sides agreed department split
would mean vast increase In con-
struction strikes, with members OF
warning unions carrying their battles
to building projects.
Williams reported to the convention
yesterday that even with the depart
ment united, strikes caused by rows
between unions were so prevalent the
last year that they we're real men,
ace to the building and construction
industry"
Much Time Lost.
And a great deal Of time was lost
by the mechanics and laborers and a
great deal Of expense was entailed by
contractors and owners or promoters
OF the project" he said.

tary and president Of the printers

Chesterfield County police awaited the

was placed in Henrico County Jail
last night after the little girl was
found beaten into unconsciousness

terday, denied he had attacked the
child.

child, found an hour after her mother
had reported her lost, lay near the
swamp. bruised and her clothing torn.
Her condition was reported critical at

would be approved.

CONTRACT SHAPED
FOR GIANT VESSEL
Attorneys Draw Up Docu-
ment to Cover Construction
of Leviathan Successor.

A contract for construction of the
largest merchant ship ever built in
American shipyards was being drafted
at the Maritime Commission today by
attorneys for the Newport News Ship
building e. Drydock Co. and the United
States Lines.
The commission yesterday accepted
the sl5,750,000 bid OF the shipbuilding
company for construction of a liner
to replace the obsolete Leviathan.
Joseph P. Kennedy, commission
chairman, announced the United
States Lines Co. has been granted a
construction subsidy representing one
third Of the cost of the new ship
which must be completed within 852
days.
The contract is the first to be
awarded by the commission under the
Merchant Marine act.
When completed we will have the
finest and safest liner on the seas,'
Kennedy said.
To Be 1923 Feet Long.
The new liner will have an overall
length of 723 feet. breadth of 80
feet, low draft displacement of
about $4,000 tons and a speed of about
% knots. She will have accommoda-
tions for about 1900 passengers and a
crew of about $50
The adjusted price basis on which
the accepted bid was made allows for
the adjustment of the final cost of the
vessel to meet any changes in the cost
OF labor and materials which may oc-
cur during the course of construction.
The commission specified, however,
that the adjustment must not exceed
Is per cent.
The merchant marine act under
which the vessel will be built provides
for payment by the Government of
the difference between the domestic
and foreign costs of construction.
Under this plan the Government
pays the shipbuilder for the vessel, the
operating line makes an initial pay-
ment Of IS per cent of the domestic
cost to the Government and repays
the balance over period of 20 years.
Netherlands Costs Used as Base.
Kennedy disclosed that construction
costs in the Netherlands, rather than
In Great Britain, France and Ser
many, had been used by the commits
sion in determining the amount of
subsidy.
On a fixed price basis the New
York Shipbuilding Corp. bid s21 .3O8.-
600; the Bethlehem Shipbuilding
Corp, s2l l,947oO0, and the Newport
News Co., s17,500,O0O.
The Leviathan, which the new
liner will replace, was seized by the
United States during the World War.
She is now at Hoboken, N. j.. where
she has been tied up since her with
drawal from transatlantic service.
Both the War and Navy departments
have notified the commission they
desire to see her retained as a military
auxiliary
The United States Lines Co. &C
ouired the Leviathan from the Gov
ernment in 1881 under a blanket
mortgage which now amounts to
about s2,500o0O.
On March l8, 1885, the company
asked Government permission to lay
her up. contending she was too old
and too expensive to operate in
competition with modern foreign
ships. The Government consented
on condition that the company re-
place the ship with a vessel of the
type Of the S. S. Manhattan and S. S.
Washington.
Under the agreement the company
Is liable to penalty of s1,ooo,ooO for
failure to build the vessel.
