In Tsarist clays the Russian government prided ilsclf on the privileges it lavished on foreign diplomats, Tu some extent, the tradition lives on. The Soviet Union has a Service bureau thai looks aft er diplomats and correspond ents, lis service hemns with housing. With only the rarest exceptions not including our selves - the Bureau set's to the collectivization of all for eigners 1 11 1 i "diplomat tchoski dom" or diplomatic houses. Diplomatic Housing I Thru- are several such dip lomatic housing blocks in Moscow. An inevitable fea ture of all nf them is the mili tiaman (pnlicenianl who paces lip and down outside the en trance day and night.

When things go wrong In the apartment it Is the "bu reau" that must be contacted and which provides the work men. This solves some prob lems but not all. Once men from the bureau removed the front door to get a large American refrig erator into an apartment. They set it up and departed. It look a week of phone calls lo get lliem back lo put Ihe door back on. Patience Needed Paliencc is something ev ery Moscow housewife must learn when she goes market ing, whether she he a for eigner or Moscow citizen. We have been developing patience fur almost a year now, and also have learned that forethought is one of the ways lo avoid too much strain even on cultivated patience. As foreigners in the Soviet Union we are allowed to im port unlimited supplies of foodstuffs. Large department stores in Stockholm and Co penhagen make a specialty of serving Moscow clientele. We have found it is most economical lo order in hulk up to a six-months' supply. This lakes practice, loo. Our first shipment was not a suc cess. We finished the canned fruit in three weeks and were left wondering how we'd ever work through the remaining six pounds of curry powder. In the second order, we thought we had things figured out belter. Now we have S8 cans of sliced pineapple, and no lump sugar.

And this is where patience gets it work out. In most nf Moscow's shops you must line up three limes in order to buy something. You line up first at the coun ter where you choose your item, then at a cash desk where you pay for it and finally at a third counter where you collect your pur chase. Since such shops usual ly are crowded, buying sim ple things can be very time consuming. Self Service A few nf Moscow's slut-fa ! have started experimenting with self-service bill the idea has not yet caught on gen erally. Russian bread is very good, Ihe black bread being particu larly tasty. A loaf of bread costs between 25 and IIS ko pecks, or 25 to 115 cents. Dairy products such as yogurt, col lage cheese and "smclana" (sour cream) are very good. So is the Ice cream. During the summer months there is a good selection of fruits and vegetables to be found in local markets and in smalt open booths on street corners. Prices, how ever, vary from week to week. The mid-season price of a pound ot tomatoes runs from ."ill lo 70 kopecks, or Ml lo i cenls. potatoes from 15 kopecks tl5 cents) the pound, and grapes about all kopecks or 50 cents. In winter Ihe vegetable market is sad. Us mainstay is red cabbage and rather trost-billen looking potatoes. Sometimes a few green cook ing apples will be snapped up at two rubles ($2) a pound.

GODWIN Washington - lUPli - There will be plenty of food for the U.S. population in 1063 at prices about the same as those paid in 1962. In addition to an abundance of food for domestic use, there will be enough to ex port near-record quantities, and to have substantial re serves at home, said the De partment of Agriculture. Record production of live stock products in 1962, most of which are domestically con sumed, is expected to increase further in 1963. The abundant food supply makes it possible for the pop ulation to be well fed whether considered on the basis of personal likes and dislikes or from a nutritional standpoint. In short, there will be plenty from which to make a choice, and the nutritional value of food consumed in 1963 probably will average about the same as in 1962. Large Resorves For some foods, such as most livestock products, the population consumes most of the current production. But for others, there are large reserves. As for the livestock products for next year, the heavy animal numbers will provide food aplenty. In the other foods, there was a bump er crop in 1962. The department said that in 1962 the population con sumed only 53 per cent of the supply of food fals and oils, 54 per cent of the po tatoes, 58 per cent nf the can ned fruits and vegetables, and only 6 per ccnl of the total grain supply. This situation is not expected to change in 1963. The department said food prices at the retail counter, aside from seasonal variations, should change little in 1963 from levels this year. Consumers continue lo spend more in total for food, but they use a smaller pro portion of their income for such outlays. According to latest indications, they spend on the average about 19 per ccnl of income for food com pared with 26 per cent in 19-17- 49. Much of the increase is for higher quality, more em phasis on higher cost items, and more services with food either in processing or distrib uting it. The situation by commodi ties as the department sees it: May Increase Meat in 1963 consump tion of red meals is likely to increase another pound per capita, to about 163.5 pounds. tut TA I il...JIII.

Her .ue was Average retail prices may hold close to the 1962 aver age. Beef supplies may be slightly higher probably 90 pounds per capita with average retail prices equal to or alittle above 1962. Veal supplies may be down slightly with prices unchang ed. Consumption of lamb and mutton is expected to drop a half pound from this year's 5 pounds per capita. Pork sup plies probably will be above this year's 63 pounds per cap ita with prices slightly low er than in 1962. Poultry-significantly great er production and lower prices may continue at least through the first half of 1963, which would bring a record per capita use. The turkey carryover will be down sharp ly, but another large crop is in prospect, probably second in size to the 1961 record. Prices will act accordingly. Lower egg production is like ly to continue trough early 1963, then pick up sharply Dairy - milk supplies are above commercial require ments at existing prices. The 1963 milk outputis expected to increase further over 1962 production of about 126.5 bil lion pounds. Ample Supply Vegetables - frozen veg eetabics are in ample supply, may get smaller in mid-1963. Canned vegetables are in rec ord suply. Fresh vegetables are down seasonally in sup ply, up in price. Potatoes - supplies smaller than a year ago by about 7 per cent, but materially larg er than the recent 10-year average. Plenly of sweet po tatoes on hand. Fruit - total supplies larger than in the same period of 1961-62.

(Rosenthal photo) White Claimed Preferable for Painted Homes Chicago -tW'H- Even people who do not aspire to the pres idency have a lot to say for the while house. For, painted white, a house looks roomy. Its color also allows the widest possible choices of trims. White also minimizes arch itectural defects and makes a house more comfortable in summer. Painted while, a low roof keeps a house from look ing squatty. On any roof, the color while lowers interior temperatures as much as 20 degrees. When a house is painted while to look bigger; one can add to the illusion of size by keeping the shutters and trim while too. While trim can be used to an even heller advantage on an older house, lo minimize I lie patch -work look of odd size or poorly-placed windows. Paint Shutters To do this, remove .shutters from the offending windows and trim them in while along with the house. Trim the re maining more regular win dows and shutters in a con trasting color so that the regu lar windows fade into the background. Red, green and blue arc the most popular trim colors for a while house, but geranium pink, bright tangerine, pea cock blue and turquoise arc newer. Personal preferences are important, of course, but two other factors to consider in choosing trim, as well as basic house colors, arc climate and neighbors' homes. Pastels, particularly blues and greens, look cool and in viting in a subtropical climate. while darker colors-cspccially deep, warm rods, lake better lo cool, northern climates. It is even more important to choose a color scheme thai docs nut clash with the houses next door. Harmonizing colors will do more for the house and the entire neighborhood.

Medfo-d WORK SMARTER By BERNICE Oregon State Wish you could save mon ey? Well, don't we all! The hardest part is gelling start ed. Mrs. Dorothy Shcrrill Mill er, Oregon State university extension family finance spe cialist, says you can do it if you have a scheme. Your Christmas money gifts may be the clue to a good starting point. Use your gift money to open an account labeled "Money I never expected." Just by coincidence, the first letters of these words spell M-I-N-E! You'll be surprised how fast this savings account will grow in a year, if you make it a point to deposit all the "money I never expect ed." It's a lot more fun to save for something special you've been hankering for rather than just for a rainy day.

Spray cans arc a big con venience and used today for everything from whipped cream and paint to room de odorant and starch. Many of you say you don't get your money's worth be cause some liquid is left in the can. The way you hold the can is important. It's something like sipping soda pop through a straw. When a nearly-empty bottle is tipped up. you gel that "slurp noise all air and no pop! Take spray starch for in stance. If the can is held up side down, the opening of the little tube inside the can isn't in the starch as it should be. It's in the gas needed to cre ate pressure. Then when you press the button, the gas pres sure escapes. Starch is trap ped in the can with no way to get out. Spray starch cans should be held at a 45 degree angle. But some other arcrosol cans are designed for use in other posi tions. You can't beat that hackneyed saying, "When all else fails, read instructions." The label tells all.
