THf KIV Wilt CITItIH Page 2 New Opportunities Seen In Red Leader Changes By SEBATOR SMATHERS ■ WASHINGTON: Newsnotes from Capitol Hill: There is general a greement here that change id lead* ership ip Russia will offer the United States new opportunities and new challenges to leaderihip. Most optimists bplieve that g struggle may develop for cantrol in the Kremlin, offering dissident el ements in the satellite countries opportunity to mike a bid for to* dependence, and that those seeking control of the Soviet govirnmem will be too pre-occupied to continue to support Communist China.

J £ ■*- Modern Homes Is Increasing By DOROTHY ROE AP Women's Editor Soon everybody will want a mod ern house, says Edward Stone, architect pioneer in the field. This doesn’t mean that all hous es will have flat roofs, all-glass walls or trees in the living room. It does mean that the house of to day and the future wdl be planned tor the problems of modern living. Stone, who has designed such spectacular buildings as El Pan ama Hotel in Panama City, Radio City Music HaU and other exam ples of the modern school, says the one thini which has sold modern houses to the U. S. housewife is practicality. Women have found that life is more fun when you can talk to your guest# while preparing din ner in a kitchen that isn’t shut off from the rest of the house, and that housework is easier in broad open spaces instead of small cluttered rooms. Says Stone: “The open floor plan is the dis tinguishing feature of the modern house. Usually living room and dining room are combined in one general living area, and often the kitchen also is a part of it. Mom in the kitchen can enter the gener al conservation instead of being isolated in a cubicle. “As customs change, houses should change.

Small rooms were easier to heat. “Today we have central heating and the necessity for a lot of little rooms is past. “The truly modern house is the one which fits the needs of the family, makes avmg easier and pleasanter and avoids waste space. It needn’t have a flat roof or a bizaar appearance. It can look any way you want it to look. Bqt it should have a flexible floor plan, it should take advantage of all the modern materials and appli ances, and it should fill the needs of each member of the family which occupies it” Stone’s latest design idea, incor porated in several houses now un der construction in Connecticut and Long Island, has rooms open ing on a central patio covered by a clear plastic roof and centrally heated.
