Problems of Small Home Solved By-Senator's Wife Washington Twenty seconds from office -to home. That will be about the "travel time" ofJSen. Karl Mundt .(R) S. D., when the new Senate Office - Building is opened the first of the year. The Mundts live in one of the small, restored . homes of Schotfs court, separated, only by an alley from the new building in which the .senator expects to have his office Windows on one side of the office building overlook the court, once one of Washing ton's slums but now one of its prides. Two senators, a form er senator and four members of the House of Representa tives have taken seven of the 12 houses in, for them, the conveniently located court, Since the houses are small, the problem of space is one their wives have had to con quer.

Add butter, salt and desired seasoning, seal the foil with a double fold, and place the packets on top of the grill or in the coals. Cook about 10 minutes. interviewer from the Nation al Association of Home Build ers through her home to an swer questions on . howshe has met the problem. .. . She believes one reason the rooms look larger han they really " are is that she has used a single "color for the main features of each. - The walls and ceiling of her. nar row living room are soft green and they have no contrasting trim -which would, tend-to make the room look smaller. Wall-to-wall carpeting and draperies carry out the same green tone, as does the open grillwork of the stairway. Furniture Scaled . Mrs. Mundt selected furni ture scaled down to the pro portions of the room. She stored her davenport and got a loveseat because "it takes up two and one-half feet less of space." 'T ve found that usually no more than two per sons want to sit on a daven port at the same time, any way," she said, "and two can sit quite comfortably , on a loveseat." To further conserve space, she uses small side tables in stead of a coffiee table. When she has friends in to dine, she doesn't "try any thing but a buffet supper." She finds that eight can be seated comfortably for such a party. But for a "stand-up" affair, she has had as many as 20 1 in the house. Usually for an event of that size, she and a." friend, in a house two doors away, join forces. They try to keep the guests divided evenly in the two houses or sometimes one will serve the main meal and the other, the dessert. Before a party, Mrs. Mundt put out of sight small things she can get along without, such as magazine racks. Corners Utilized The house, while small, is built to utilize every , nook and corner. There is storage space for luggage under the stairway, a built-in corner cupboard in the dinette end of the living room, and shal low shelves filling an entire wall of the kitchen. - The senator's - wife has chosen and arranged the furn ishings of the two bedrooms with similar skill to make a little space go far. In a "tur quoise" room, three chests of drawers and a vanity, all or iginally linpainted, form an unbroken line along one end of the room, which has an un cluttered look. Four chests are arranged in the same manner in the other room, which is done in a pleasing cocoa shade. Night tables in each room provide additional drawer space. Each table has drawers to the floor. Mrs. Mundt has lived in apartments with larger rooms but she said the house 'is so compact she actually has more utility space in its rooms.

Navy Wants Midshipmen To Be Practically Perfect By PATRICIA McCORMACK United IJress International New York (LTD If a gal's heartskips a beat when a Navy midshipman walks by, it's not only the uniform. It's also the fellow wearing it. By Navy -rules he's got V he at least passably good looking. " r "Extreme ugliness," accord ing to an official 7,000-word treaties on-physical require ment for midshipmen, is a "disqualifying defect." It is among hundreds of dis qualifying physical defects spelled out in a booklet the Navy is passing out to young men who might like to try for one of the 1,800 midshipman appointments' effective next fall. Physicai requirements, as stated, "are inflexible and the slightest deviation .will be cause for rejection." Rigid Physical - Before the candidate can take the rigid physical, he must sail through a college aptitude test. Almost 30 per cent who ' passed the mental test in recent years have sub sequently been ' rejected for physical defects. "Extreme ugliness" is list ed under Sub-Section One, Section J, in a 10-page appen dix in the Navy's informa tional booklet. Apparently it is up to the doctor to arrive at the judg ment on his own, for the de fect isn't defined." Boys with knock-knees are flunked if the condition "makes their 'gait clumsy or ungainly." Of bow-legs, the Navy says: - ' "A cause for rejection if so marked as to produce notice able deformity when the ap plicant is dressed." Ingrown toe-nails, boat-like feet, unsightly spaces between the teeth and obscene,' offen sive or indecent tattooing are other "disqualifying" defects that can sink a candidate. ,. . Must Be Single . To remain physically . per fect 'during ' the four -year training course, candidates who are accepted must prom ise to avoid marriage. -The perfectly perfect, speci mens who aTe picked get the title of midshipman in Ihe regular Navy reserve officers training corps. They .are. as sign to a college and the Navy pays tuition, other fees and. a retainer of $50 a month. The midshipman is. free to major in a field of his choice unless that field happens to be dramatics, hotel adminis tration, theology real "estate and a few . other - specialties the Navy doesn't consider seaworthy. . - " m r ...
