Going by appearances, they figure these big, " rich-looking Mercurys must be pretty expensive. So they shop for something less. (And usually end up paying more.) This is unfortunate. For them. And us. So let's set the record straight. ..with a ' .U.S. Government price sticker. There ' it is in black and white. $2834 including ; everything you read there.

Our cars are fully dressed ...w ith the expected number of ash trays. ' sun visors and hubcaps. Of course, if you can go over $2834, we offer options like power steering and swing-away wheel; power brakes and deep pleated bucket seats. Larger engines.

LEVITTOWNS IN THE COMMON MARKET In the past SO years, greater strides have been made in creating comforts in housing and in making them widely available than throughout all previous history. A pioneering contributor to that progress has been William J. Levitt, presi dent of Levitt & Sons, Inc., the firm which for the first time applied mass-production techniques to the housing industry after World War II and built the world-famous Levittowns. Levitt is still pioneering, as this interview reveals. Porter: I know you have started to export the Levitt mass techniques and . philosophy outside the continental United States - specifically, I hear, to France and Puerto Rico. Are there any new developments in your overseas operations? . Levitt: You're prescient. In Paris, we have already in vested in high-rise and garden apartments. The first houses in a Levitt community in San Juan will be ready for occu pancy in a year. I'd like to tell you more about our plans for Western Europe especially France but an announce ment now would be premature. Porter: Just by saying this you've given us the news that Levittowns are about to go into the Common Market, "espec ially France." Are you now. looking for fundamental design changes in houses? . Levitt: Not in the immediate future. Colonial, Georgian and Cape Cod are still among the most popular U.S. houses and their facades haven't changed markedly in 200 years. The public doesn't want radical-looking housing. The best evidence is the fact that the pre-fabricators have reverted from modern to traditional design. . Porter: No design improvements at all in the offing? Levitt: The trend toward increasing use of glass will accelerate. Sliding, wall high panels, patio doors, glass walls - call them what you will - more and more houses are going to have more and more glass to blend interior and exterior living. Porter: The third major element of a house. In addition to equipment and design, consists of the materials with which the design is executed. How about tnem: Levitt: Here is the excitement of the future of American housing. Most of it derives from the plastics and veneers. We're already experimenting with vinyl-covered walls which will be better looking, longer lasting and easier to clean. Technicians are working on warp-proof doors and win dows with lifetime finishes. Wood, stone and brick exteriors made from veneers of the natural materials already permit greater quality at the same price and are certain to Improve. A chemical company recently announced a film coating that can be bonded to almost any building material and make it maintenance-and-fade free. Here is where the exciterhent is. Porter: With costs of building materials and of labor still rising, how can over-all costs be kept in line? Levitt: When you consider the quality of today's house, housing costs have been kept In line. There are no convincing figures on comparative housing costs because there is no comparative housing. A 1963 house is so much better than, say, a 1933 house of the same size and type that comparisons are simply not valid. Houses are like automobiles in this instance. In dollars the cost of a two-bedroom frame house with 1,000 square feet of floor space has increased about the same amount in the past' 30 years as the consumer price level. Porter: American houses appear to get larger every year. In 1960 the average FHA-lnsured new home had 1,142 square feet of floor space compared with 894 square feet only 10 years earlier. Is this trend primarily due to larger families? Levitt: It's also a return to an earlier American practice. Except in cold New England, houses tended to be roomy until the burgeoning of big cities and their high lands costs. Land is less expensive in the suburbs and we can afford to follow our own tradition. ' Porter: So the House of Tomorrow will generally be like today's? . Levitt: A better house of today. And mass production can improve quality because of tighter controls. Cadillacs are mass-produced, you know. Cases Rested in Income Tax Trial Portland - IUPD - Both sides rested their cases Thursday in the federal income '.ax trial of Otto Heider Sr., Sheri dan. The case was heard without a jury. Federal Judge Cus Solomon will receive written briefs in the next 140 days. A final decision is not ex pected for more than six months. The charge involved Income taxes in 1953 and 1954. Nashville, Tenn. - L'PB -Dave McCutchen, brought be fore Judge Allen Cornelius on a public drunkenness charge Thursday, said he would like time to finish his spring garden.
