Meniles-France Stakes Govlt Life On Arms Plan

By Harold King i .

PARIS. (Reuters)-Premier Pl- erra Mendes-France Thursday night seemed assured of the French Assembly's approval of his policy to rearm West Germany.

He outlined to the assembly the plan to bring a sovereign. inde- pendent Germany into the Brussels and Atlantic defence pacts. After- wards. political observers pre- dicted the House would back him to hilt in the showdown vote on the rearmament issue, due within the next 24 hours.

The mood of the assembly was one of resignation rather than enthusiasm as Mendes-France re- called the assembly'a rejection of the original European Defence Community treaty six weeks ago and traced the more recent nego- tiations in London which produced the new formula for rearming Ger- many.

The majority of deputies outside the Communist party seemed con- vinced that they must ratify the London agreement to prevent France from being squeezed out of the Western defence network ul- together.

The temperature was expected to plunge in the lower 20s overnight in Maine's northern potato empire. Short-handed crews worked long past sundown to get. the tubers out of the ground.

IDNDON (AP) - Britain's ship- ping companies Thrsday night started diverting food supplies from London to Continental ware- houses as a paralyzing dock strike brought this port almost to a standstill. '

Nearly 135 ships were idle as a result of the strike, now in its fourth day.

Dollar - earning cargoes over- flowed the warehouses and the road and railway systems refused to ac- copt any more cargoes for the waterfront.

Om ship sailed this afternoon to land its 2,800 tons oi cargo at Hamburg. Another bound for Lon- don with frozen meat was diverted to Antwerp.

Nearly 16.000 dockmen were re- ported out as the highly-skilled permanent" lotigshoremen - men employed on a guaranteed weekly basis-began to quit work in pro- test against the use of lascar (Indian) seamen to unload ships.

These men are traditionally the last to stop work in any strike.

Another 8.000 man - electric- ians and engineers employed in the repair yards - are out in a parallel strike, claiming that men were laid off without regard to seniority.
