This Week's Plan for Home Builders By HIAWATHA ESTES Farsighted home builders realize the advantage of plan ning ample recreation and living space for all the family from the very beginning, rather than attempting to add or convert rooms later. This home not only provides a gen erous living-dining area but also a large family room which is partially open to the kitchen. A maximum of privacy has been achieved by locating the informal living area to the rear of the design. The family room is completely separated from the more formal living room so the grown-ups and teenagers can easily entertain at the same time without one group necessarily Interfering with the other. Sliding doors open from the family room to the huge patio. A shoulder high window in the opposite wall allows flexible furniture arrangement and cross venti lation. The family living center and the food preparation cen ter, together, offer all the atmosphere of the much loved "country" kitchen. Here, cooking, eating and family activities arc centered. Note the large siz caling area and the wealth of storage spnee, Including a built-in storage closet next lo the panlry, Three-Quarter Bath A three - quarter bnlh Is Ideally located otf the service area for multi-use as it also opens to the family room. It features a pullman lavatory as do the other two baths. When you separate the sleeping and living areas, you not only reduce noise and traffic but end up with a very efficient operating plan. These areas are separated here by the entry and hall which opens to the patio. Roth the living and family rooms have fireplaces which are located on outside walls so as not to take up living space in the home. A housewife's dream Is the generous amount of stornce space. There are nearly 6C lineal feet of closets and ward robes. All bedrooms are spacious. The master bedroom In ad tlon to having its own bath and dressing room has sliding glass doors opening to the partially roofed patio. Clean modern texlures of tone, glass, wood and cedar shakes have been used In the design of the street exterior of this contemporary home.

Freedom Center Order Requested Salem - IUPD - The Marion county district attorney has asked the circuit court to order Portland's Freedom Center and its director, Wal ter Huss, to file statements of campaign expenses in connec tion with the Nov. 8 election. The request for the order was filed by District Attorney Hattie Kremen. Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. had asked Huss to file a statement because of the distribution of a pamphlet about Rep. Edith Green, Democratic candidate for Con gress. She was reelected. Huss denied his organiza tion was political and denied any campaign activity. Appling turned the case over to the district attorney for "appropriate action. Young Peace Corps Hostage Released Singapore (UPD Fritz Klat tenhoff, 19, Battleground, Wash., a member of the Peace Corps held hostage four days by Borneo rebels, was re leased unhurt by British Com mandos Wednesday. Klaltenhoff was taken pris oner with six Europeans when Nationalist rebels captured the town of Limbant, in the Brit ish colony of Sarawak on the Island of Borneo, last Satur day. All were safe and sound. Six British Commandos were killed recapturing Lim- bang Wednesday in a mop-up operation against rebels who attempted to push the British out of Sarawak, Brunei and North Borneo. apartheid segregation policy. The outcome could end the pro-integration regime of Pre mier Sir Edgar Whitehead and, If the Racialists win, bring Southern Rhodesia un der threat of civil war. In contrast to the magni tude of what is at stake, only some 100,000 persons out of Southern Rhodesia's 3 million population are qualified to vote in the elections to fill the legislative assembly's 65 seats. Of the qualified total, only 13,000 are Africans and most of them are expected to boycott the polls. Reflect Political Power -The voter figures reflect the political power ratio be tween the 225,000 white set tlers who have governed this British colony since 1923 and the 2,930,000 Africans, Asians and half-castes. Educated African opinion is solidly against the govern ment after its banning of the territory's only African mass party, the Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU), ear lier this year. This reduced the elections to mainly a struggle for power between "left" and "right" within the white settlers' community. Whitehead's official plank Is "non - racialism." His Uni ted Federal Party Is based on the principle of "racial part nership" which Whitehead re cently defined as "govern ment by the civilized, regard less of color." Ba Swept Away Before the election cam paign started Whitehead told a party congress that to create a non-racial state all racial discrimination must be swept away. An election victory for the United Federal Party (UFP) he said, would mean an end to all residential segregation of the races; secondary schools would be integrated and the African franchise broadened. Sir Edgar made clear, how ever, his opinion that hand ing over the government to the country's non - white ma jority would lead to total chaos. He foresaw a period of at least 10 years before the doors to political power could be opened for all citizens, black or white, on complete ly equal terms. Too Much Away The party's right wing said, "Whitehead's gone too far. He's giving too much away to the Munts (Africans)." But when the party con gress got down to voting on this policy not a single vote was raised against it. It was a triumph for the scholarly, stone-deaf Whitehead who in the past four years of his lead ership in this turbulent ter ritory has often shown how to mix stubborness with po litical subtlety. With the UFP's right wing silenced, the program finds its strongest white opponents in the Rhodesian Front party. This party advocates a racial policy along South African lines, with residential segre gation as its main feature. The Front party has its strongest support in the rur al areas where white farmers fear that African advance ment will mean the end of cheap labor. But it is also gaining support among urban whites who are shaken by the speed of desegregation. Increases His Chances When Whitehead banned the African ZAPU party on charges of incitement to vio lence and restricted Us leader Joshua Nkomo to his home area, he certainly increased his chances at the polls. Many settlers, however, make no secret of their fear that "part nership" will soon get out of hand and Whitehead may have a stiff task convincing them that compromise is bet ter than conflict. I African opinion is solidly against Whitehead, but Afri cans will have no chance to affect the outcome of the elec tion. With the ZAPU party ban. ned and no other to take its place few Africans are ex pected to vote at all. The big; question is whether the racial ist Rodesian Front party can oust the "non-racial" White head government. If it does, most observers here think Southern Rhodesia is in for serious trouble - not excluding a black uprising.
