NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The
Sc, ,000-ton French battleship

from impotent, slid into New

dodging a pack OF submarines in
mid Atlantic and riding out the
toughest gale many of her crew
had ever experienced.
The 7600-ton French cruiser Mont

the Richelieu, had been based at the
West African port of Dakar, made
most Of the Atlantic crossing with
the battleship and berthed at Phila-
delphia. The two parted company

Two large new French destroyers,
La Fantasque and LIE Terrible, each
2,569 tons, also made the crossing
from Dakar and put into an undis-

Strikes Under Way.
On Three HOUSING
Projects Here
Intro-U Union Dispute
Involves Work on
4, 500 Apartment Units

Strikes have been under way
for 10 days on three housing
projects in the Washington area
involving work on about 4,500
apartment units, it was learned
today, but Government officials
expressed little concern" over
the walkout-of plasterers and
cement finishers.
Projects affected include Mclean
Gardens, Wisconsin avenue NV,
720 units: Seminary Heights, Alex
andria, with 2,250 units, both of
which have contracts with Defense
Homes Corp, and the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Co.'S private project
in Alexandria. involving 1,700 units.
Technicality Blamed
Spokesman for the DHC said the
disputes apparently grew out of a
contract technicality which left a
gap" between work done by the
plasters and that done by the tile
settlers.
The strikes were called by the
Plasterers and Cement Finishers
Local No. 96 on February s, when
the plasterers complained that the
tile settlers were forced by the con-
tract to do work normally done by
them.
The contract, it was said calls for
the plasterers to put ''stratch coat
on bathroom walls preparatory to
the tiling. Whatever else is neces-
sary is to be done by the tile settlers,
it was said.
Representatives for the tile settlers
confirmed this and said their men
were doing work usually done by
plasterers.
DIG officials said however. work
bv plasterers was much ahead of
other groups at the Seminary
Heights project and the weather had
been so cold that little work could
be done, anyway.
TO Wait 1t Out
An intra union dispute developed
when Henry Brown, who claimed he
spoke for nearly one-third of the 100
striking plasterers, said the group
was not in favor of the strike.
According to Mr.. Brown, the strike
was called without the members be-
ing allowed to vote and without
notifying national union head
quarters in Cleveland.
Meanwhile, Government officials
seemed willing to wait it out" pend
ing settlement of the dispute within
the union
Milton r. Stevens, business agent
for the plasterers, could not be
reached for comment.
