Ever fancied yourself sun
bathing on a beach in Tahiti,
watching the surf break on a
coral reef?
Wished you could really feel
the breeze ; on a ski slope in
Switzerland? Or rest in the
deck chair of an ocean liner?
Step into the living room of
your home of tomorrow. No
need to go futher. With as much
effort as you need today to flip
the switch of your electric tooth
brush, you'll be ableto no
kidding create thestuff that
dreams are made ofv
"Total Environment," is what
it's called a new technically I
feasible concept of "dialing" I
environmental moods right in
your own living room.
Want to smell the sweet
smells of a botanical garden?
Dial it. Want a real good tan
for the Caribbean? Dial it. Feel
the thrill of a roller coaster?
Dial it.
It's as simple as that or
so say the people who make
comfort a business. Experts at
the advanced technology labor-1
atones of the General Electric
Company here say that today's
comfort devices stereos, air
conditioners, movies, lighting
and heating effects are mov
ing into an area of such highly
refined perfection that there
may be a market someday soon,
for a real "you-are-there" room.
"If they (the manufacturers)
could see the market of one
third of the new homes being
built right now, they'd dive
right into it," said John L. Mat
rone, a GE mechanical engineer
and project manager.
Components for the fun room
have long been on GE drawing
boards. The space would be 20
feet by 10 feet, with approxi
mately 10 feet of overhead to
contain a special piston arrange
ment and an "atmospheric pre
paration tank" for creating the
real atmosphere of the desired
scene.
You could easily make it
snow, said Matrone, but the
problem would be "shoveling all
that stuff out afterward."
You'd pick "Hawai i" or
"Tasmania" from a catalogued
file, for example, and could
have still or motion pictures in
a pre-selccted scene, with ac
companying music.
The deck of an ocean liner?
A tilting floor, of course.
. There would be special effects
on records, a file of odors,
speakers, projection equipment,
amplifiers and special lighting
effects.
"All we are trying to do Is
coordinate a little better what
we already are doing in the en
tertainment field, and package
it, too," Matrone said.
The fun room could be creat
ed right now, he emphasized.
But since there's no way of de
termining the market demand
yet, it would be too costly to
build. Eventually, the environ
ment room might be built for
under $10,000 or possibly $5,000.
He wouldn't predict a year.

NEW CONCEPT "Total Environment," a new technically
feasible concept of "dialing" environmental moods right into
the living room, may be available some day soon, even in the
most inexpensive American homes, experts say. This cartoon
depicts such a situation. The caption reads: "I dialed the
storm sequence, but I didn't expect it to be so realistic!"

LONDON (UPI) - Cuban
fused to line up formally with
the Soviet Union against Com
munist China, but apparently
runs no risk of losing Soviet
aid, diplomatic sources said to
day. Soviet Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev, however, was re
ported to have decided against
leaving Castro in charge of
Communist plans for penetrat
ing Latin America, the sources
said.
Taking Up Sides
According to diplomatic dis
patches reaching here," Castro,
who pledged full support last
-ciimtnnr In thp Snvipt altnrlcK
on Peking, refused to make a
formal declaration of support
more recently when Moscow be
gan lining up the world's Com'
munist parties to be counted.
A summit conference of the
parties supporting the Moscow
line is reported under prepara
tion in Moscow. These talks
during next month's celebra
tions of the Russian revolution
anniversary could begin the
process that leads to China's
expulsion from the Moscow-led
bloc.
Communist, theoretical organ
of the Soviet Communist party,
reported a few days ago that 65
parties have declared them
selves in favor of Khrushchev's
peaceful co-existence and op
posed to China s militant
foreign policy.
This count left more than a
score of Communist parties un
accounted for. Some, like Alba
nia, North Korea, and appar

ently North Viet Nam, support
the Peking line.
Others prefer to stay neutral,
and a third group has declined
to commit itself for the present.
Remains Uncommitted
Cuba is in this last group, ac
cording to the reports in Lon
don.
There was no hint of Soviet
retaliatory action in the form
of an aid cutoff, the sources
said. The Soviets value Cuba
too highly as a staging area for
the Communist penetration of
Latin America to let it go.
Castro was believed confront
ed with a dilemma between his
revolutionary aims which are
thies for Peking is his refusal
pendence on the $1.6 million
daily Soviet aid.
One other sign of his sympa
thies for Pekink is his refusal
to sign the nuclear test ban
treaty concluded by the Soviets
with the West.
