Such a sun-drenched spec tacle is the first of three 2,-004-family units to sprout from the rubble of nine dreary blocks south of histor ic Washington Square in Man hattan. , The off-beat apartment building has set tongues wag ging, but most conversation about the new Washington Square Village concerns what will be between the buildings - four acres of wide open space. That is a thing hard to be lieve in a city where the scarcity of land made it neces sary to wedge buildings to gether like so many cigarettes in a pack. Paul Lester Wiener, con sultant designer and site-planner for the $75 million proj ect, said the completed vil lage will prove that city liv ing can be freed from the wedged-look. Has Privacy. Space The dream: Privacy and space, plus a touch of subur bia on the earthy part be tween buildings in a metro polis where land is about as valuable as solid gold. Wiener says the buildings, each as long as two football fields, will make the dream come true. Two streets run through thev property, but these didn't stop planners. The long, lean storied struc tures will stretch across both streets. Promenades, parklets and playgrounds will rise between the buildings. There will be shops, as in suburbia. "But nowhere," said Wien er, "will there be the city-mass-of-stone look." . Outside, the longest apart ment building in the nation is decked in different colors to overcome , a bowling alley look. Some sections are grey from top to bottom; others, white, yellow, red. Wiener, a graduate of the Royal Academy of Vienna, has designed structures around the world. He was co architect of the presidential palace in Havana, Cuba. His work has won awards in France, Brazil, Ecuador and Guatemala. He also was coorchitect for the new United Nations Pavil ion for the peaceful use 'of at omic energy, Zurich, Switzer land. New Idea Washington Square Village, the site planner said, is an "entirely new idea" that al most any urban renewal plan can incorporate - to a great er or lesser extent, depending on need. Original suggestions for the village site called for nine to 12 separate buildings. "But," Wiener said, "there wouldn't have been much of the wide open spaces." The apartments, ranging from two and a half to six rooms, are air conditioned. Most have terraces. Wiener, who looks like a 40-ish country squire, even in his office, believes that the Washington Square concept of relaxed and airy city living long has been needed. The first building is more than three-quarters rented. But workmen still are putting the finishing touches on many apartments. Rents High Rents range from $137 for the two and one-half unit to $398 for the best five-roomer, per month not exactly "av erage income" housing. For those beyond the upper Budget Sauce For end-of-the-budget spa ghetti sauce, combine a can of tomato soup with a tablespoon each of vinegar and instant minced onion, a teaspoon or more of chili powder and a can of chopped ripe olives. Sim mer a few minutes, and serve over well-drained hot- spa ghetti. Pass a bowl of grated American or Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top. miacue ciass, mere are six- room and larger pent houses, and higher rents. v Under the Village, there are two-layered parking gar ages. Sunken gardens with exotic plants turn lobbies in to show places. Each building will have its own staff of doormen and uni formed attendants. Tenants can use inter-house phones and a lobby announcing ser vice, plus telephones in eleva tors. This new concept " of city living is just five minutes from Wall Street and Times Square - for those who can afford it.

British Critics Praise Play on Negro Problem London-(UPD-The first play on the British stage in which a white girl is kissed by a Negro man was hailed by critics today for its "honesty and dignity." The - play, "Hot Summer Night" by British playwright Ted Willis, opened at the West End New Theater Wed nesday night. Its theme of colored boy and white girl falling in love struck home to many Britons who still are disturbed by race riots in London's Notting Hill dis trict less than three months ago. Andres Melly played the girl and Jamaican Lloyd Rick ord the boy. London's morning newspa pers applauded the play and called the history-making kiss a natural development in the plot. "It's a play with something to say," Daily Express critic Emile Littler said. "It's not propaganda. Its moral is the need for tolerance." Derek Richards of the tab loid Daily Mirror said Reck ord "brings dignity to the part of the colored boy." The" News Chronicle's Allan Dent said in a review beaded "an honest play of black and white" congratulated author Willis for writing "with com passion and not with the youthful snarl that is the present fashion." Cecil Wilson wrote in the Daily Mail "It happened at the New Theater, London, last night just as it happened not so long ago, in real life, at Nottingham and Notting Hill. The color bar struck home in Britain." ? Seed Topping Stir instant minced onion, sesame seeds, and bread crumbs with a little melted butter.
