Prefabricated Apartment
Houses Spring Up in Moscow
By ALINE MOSBY
Moscow-(!IPII-"Instant" pre
fabricated apartment houses
are sprouting up all over Mos
cow in what's billed as the
world's biggest building
boom.
To ease a critical housing
shortage, the Soviets are push
ing a crash housing program.
The fastest way to get roofs
over heads, they discovered
this year, is via almost-ready
apartments rolled off factory
assembly lines.
Now one of Moscow's more
astonishing sights is forests of
building cranes, looking like
wiry animals with entire
walls dangling from their
"mouths."
The cranes gently nudge
Into place walls complete
with doors and windows
even glass in the frames. You
see floors giddily sailing
through the air with bathtub,
fink and toilet already at
tached. Suburb Blossoms
It's like watching a doll's
house being pieced together
Wave after wave of these
new aparimenis march mo
notonously over the flatlands
of Moscow. Gregory Dukel
sky, one of Moscow's chief
architects, led me to one new
suburb that blossomed from a
vacant field
Trucks lurched over the
mud to dump stacks nf walls,
floors and ceilings. The six
inch thick panels were made
of porous clay filler and con-
crele at 12 factories near
Moscow,
In Leningrad, some apart
ments have been built of en-
tire prefabricated rooms.
"Those eight workmen will
take only one month to put
tip this Su-apartment build'
ing," said Dukelsky, pointing
tn the Russians helping the
crane drop a third-story wall
Two more months are need
ed to paint the entryways and
install gas, electricity, water,
wallpaper, people and furni
ture. Some prefabricated con
crete panels, 1 noticed, were
chipped or cracked as they
were unloaded from the
trucks.
Many Ne.d.d
"When Gov Collins of Flor
ida was here he asked why
we didn't build fewer and bet
ter buildings," Dukelsky said.
"But many people need apart
ments. We must build quick
ly." Because of war damage and
concentration on other Indus
tries, old apartments are
crowded. Izvestia noted re
cently that two or three fami
lies live In many apartments.
To adequately house the
citizenry, Dukelsky and other
housing authorities face I
goal said to be unique In
housing history: 100,000
apartments a year Jr each
year the seven-year plan. I
-
This year's quota was pared
to 91,000 because they "aren t
being built as fast as we
hoped," another housing of
ficial admitted to me,
Even then that means 250
new apartments, or three five-
story buildings, opened daily
Airline Pilots
Observe Order
By Unitad Press International
Pilots at three of the na
tion's major airlines observed
no-strike injunction Wed
nesday but Eastern Airlines
still was paralyzed by a wild
cat walkout.
A fifth airline, Northwest,
faced a strike deadline of a
minute before midnight set
by the Air Line Pilots associa
tion.
Federal Judge Julius II.
Miner in Chicago issued an
order prohibiting a work stop
page by pilots protesting the
placing of a federal aviation
administration inspector in
the third pilot's seat of jet air
liners.
C. N. Sayen, ALPA presi
dent, said pilots were being
advised to accept the order
and not go through with the
threatened boycotts of Ameri
can, Trans-World and Pan
American Airlines.
Illinois Group
Visits in Oregon
Salem -H'PH- A legislative
group from Illinois was here
Wednesday conferring with of
ficials of the Oregon Depart
ment of Agriculture on mar
keting programs in the west
ern stales.
Illinois State Rep. John
Morris said the cost-price
squeeze is pushing farmers in
Illinois "against the wall" and
the group is touring the west
coast because it feels this area
Is ahead of the midwest in gov
ernment assistance to farm
marketing.
Members of the Oregon Leg
islative Committee on Agri
culture attended the confer
ence.

n this capital of approximate
ly S.5 million.
This shower of figures, re
peated to the Russian people
in the press practically every
day, becomes meaningful
when you visit some new ten
ants. Dukelsky and I barged
in on one couple, their son,
9, and the wiles mother.
They had moved into a new
t w o - r o o m apartment, al
though Dukelsky said three
persons were scheduled for
that size apartment.
It consisted of what Rus
sians call two "dwelling
rooms"-each of necessity fur
nished as a living-dining-bcd-room
- plus bathroom, toilet
room (always separate here),
kitchen and hallway.
Although the small apart
ments were modern in design,
the tenants clung to their tra
ditional Russian decor. The
rug was hung on the wall.
Two beds in each of the
rooms were made up as beds,
not sofas, with traditional
Russian big pillows draped
with lace.
I visited two other apart
ments with similar furnish
ings. All three had two-burner
stoves with ovens, but no
broilers. Two had new refrig
erators, one did not.
The rent Is approximately
35 rubles a month, or $3.50 (at
the tourist exchange rate), in
cluding gas and electricity.
Citizens are assigned to new
apartments as they become
available. If you turn yours
down, it means a long wait
for another one.
Although these prefabs may
seem modest to some west
erners, they appear to be ade
quate low-cost housing.
"Over there we're building
a school, food store, restau
rant, kindergarten, movie the
ater," exclaimed DuMielsky.
"Come back In a year and see
the grass and trees."
