Expansion at the Louvre
United Press International
PARIS — Custodians of the
Louvre, already the world’s biggest
museum, have dug up a new trove of
medieval treasures. Literally.
Archeologists are digging up the
grounds of the former palace turned

dreds of artifacts, from fortress walls
to shoe soles.

palace.
The history of the Louvre, in part,
is the history of France, since both
the “modern” Louvre and its heavy
stone predecessor were seats of
French rulers.
pourri of everyday medieval arti
facts.
At one dig site a 12th century for
tress and dungec.. built by King
Philippe Auguste have been uncov
ered.
Monarchs and emperors razed
and rebuilt at their pleasure. The
present-day museum took more
than 300 years to complete, starting
with the ambitious designs of Pierre
Lescot.
They found shoe soles, game dice
and even a piece of oriental Ming
china — which pyramid architect
I.M. Pei has deemed of inferior ex
port quality.
By the end of 1985, visitors will be
invited into the hole to scrutinize
from eight yards under ground
level, in the former castle moat, the
bases of two ancient towers and a
roomy dungeon.
The final touch, sprawling gar
dens, around the Louvre today, are
the result of a bomb hurled at the
palace on Christmas Eve, 1800.
The blast destroyed 46 houses
and killed 10 people but just missed
its target — master of the palace, Na
poleon I.
Archeologists have found the
once densely populated area had all
the services of any medieval neigh
borhood, including a street reserved
for prostitutes. The bones of sheep
sold at an open market give more
clues to downtown Paris, 14th cen
tury style.
This second dig site will never be
open to the public, since it is to be
bulldozed over for completion of the
pyramid within four years. ;
Archeologists say there were two
other fortress towers, but their re
mains will stay buried below the
rambling structure of today’s Louvre
museum.
Napoleon promptly demolished
the surrounding neighborhood and
expanded the palace grounds to give
himself a wider berth from the
rowdy populace.
But the unearthed artifacts will
become part of an exhibit on the
Louvre’s history inside the museum,
which attracts 3 million tourists a
year. That will only add to the daysit
already takes to thoroughly tourtht
Louvre.
“The history of the Louvre Palace
is not as well known as it should be,”
Culture Minister Jack Lang said

Dock strike
not honored
by British
Wallpaper goes
to designer labels

NEW YORK — W'hen Karl Peter-
LONDON — Some 600 long
shoremen defied union calls to strike
Monday and went to work while
dockers at three other British ports
voted to continue working in a grow
ing rebellion against the union’s na
tional call to strike.
Dock workers at Immingham and
Grimbsy on England’s northeast
coast kept the two ports — two of
Britain’s largest — operating nor
mally. The sites were bare of picket-
ers.
son was a student at Harvard Busi
ness School, he was unnerved to
hear a professor announce three
rules of investment: never give
money to anyone who has long hair,
a beard, or plans to go into business
with his wife.
“At least I didn’t have a beard,”
Peterson said. No longer long
haired, he is still a believer in busi
ness deals with spouses. With his
wife Lyn, he now owns and operates
Motif Designs, a growing interior
design firm.
“We were doing very well locally,
but having trouble getting expostm
beyond,” she said. “I kept saying:K
only we had a name.”
While dining at a restaurant witli
friends, Lyn noticed a Marimekko
wall-hanging and mentioned that
she had one in her home. Everyont
at the table, it turned out, hadaMa
rimekko, and the Petersons decided
to approach the company about i
wallpaper line.
Only one out of 300 long
shoremen at Belfast and Larne, the
two main ports in Northern Ireland,
voted to join. Dock workers in Ips
wich, on England’s east coast, also
voted to continue working.
A union spokesman in Belfast said
the dockers decided unanimously to
keep working because they thought
the strike call was “political.”
All 12 Scottish ports have obeyed
the call, as have the English ports of
Liverpool, London, Tilbury and
Hull.
Motif Designs began in 1975 as a
wallpaper store, and expanded into
designing. Recruiting big name de
signers to lend their name to new
wallpaper lines, the Petersons
helped inject some glamor into what
had been a rather fusty end of the
interior design business.
Marimekko chairman Ristomatli
Ratia said “no” three times befort
the Petersons persuaded him to stop
by their store. Lyn then summonetl
her mother’s wealthiest friends, put
on her best designer clothes anti
staged a welcome for Ratia.
The Transport and General
Workers Union, the TGWU, /ailed
its 35,000 members out on strike Fri
day to protest the British Steel
Corp.’s use of non-union labor to
unload coal for the Ravenscraig steel
plant in Scotland.
A dockworkers’ strike would help
British miners, who walked off the
job March 12 to protest government
plans to close 20 unprofitable mines
and eliminate some 20,000jobs.
Anti-strike dockworkers say a
longshoremans’ walkout would be a
“political” action, aimed at bringing
down the government of Prime Min
ister Margaret Thatcher. Union
leaders say the strike is over the use
of “scab” or non-union labor.
“We had that entrepreneurial
drive,” said Lyn. But they were a
couple in search of a career until the
day Lyn went shopping for wal
lpaper for their new home.
“I found it to be a horrifying proc
ess,” she said. “They were rude,
didn’t give me the time of day, and
overcharged me.”
With an MBA in the family, the
Petersons knew all about marketing
niches and unfulfilled needs. They
decided to open a wallpaper store.
With a $10,000 investment in
1975, the Petersons opened a busi
ness in Larchmont, N.Y.

Ratia did not succumb before ptrustee
checking with other wallpaper com
panics. He then decided the Peter- executiv
sons would make the best associates.
Marimekko “was the making of
our fortune,” Lyn said. With “name’
wallpaper, Motif Designs jumped
from $250,000 to $1.75 million lit
sales within a year.
Growth entailed some trauma
The Petersons stored their inventon
in the basement, and a typical subur
ban flooding problem turned intoa
near-disaster for the business. The
garage storage area began spilling
out into the street.
“The same dissatisfaction I felt
with the wallpaper store I began to
feel for the designs,” Lyn said.
Lyn, who had a background in de
sign, began drawing up her own pat
terns at the dining room table back
home.
“The police would ticket our wal
lpaper for illegal parking," Karl said
Motif Designs has since developed
lines of children’s wallpaper, added
Ralph Lauren to their stable of de-
igners, and begun designing and

They have also graduated to more
formal storage area. “We’re just out
