Woman Sues 10 Lift Ban
On Apartment House

Ellen T. McReynolds. 5611 Con-
necticut avenue NV, brought suit
in District Court Friday against 159
defendants who have an interest in
property in Chevy Chase, D. c., ask
ing the court to dissolve restric-
tive covenant on the land so she
may build an apartment house on
her property The property is an al
ley between Northampton and Oliver
streets NV. on the east side of Con-
necticut avenue.
The plaintiff advised the court
that under a covenant of many
years standing no business of any
kind can be carried out in that i'm
mediate area. She pointed out,
however, that in recent years that
section Of Connecticut avenue has
undergone a complete change and
Is now used for commercial purposes.
She told the court, through At
torneys Francis w. Hill, jr., anc
Augustus P. Crenshaw, Sd, that she
wants the covenants set aside, espe-
cially against erecting an apartment
house, inasmuch as the covenants
have been violated.

The Atlanta itself echoed the SEN

a blast of its whistle to announce

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6.-Keei-
laying of the l0,000-ton Navy cruiser
WiIkes-Barre today was the signal
for official reopening of century y-old
Cramps shipyard, famed builder of
a major part of Uncle Sans Civil
and World War fleets.
Reclaimed from rust and desola-

and native of Wilkes-Barre, Pa, for
which the new warship is named.
Launching its new era on a rising

Cramps counts on its experience
In the World War-when 1t built
the United States destroyer Greer,
which was fired on this week by a
submarine-to enable completion of
q feet of six 10000-ton warships by
i945. Others in the group are the

It was during the 90s and COS that
Cramps created the Clyde of

Established by 23-year-old ship
