BOXER DENIES ASSAULT CHARGES Former world's middleweight boxing champion, Britain's Ran- dy Turpin, was arraigned in a New York court on a charge of assault brought against him by Mrs. Adele Daniels, right, of Harlem. She says he hit her with his fists and kicked her. Randy denies the charges. REPLACE BOMB DAMAGE Private Firms . Rush Up By RANALD MACLURKIN LONDON (Reuters) - - Britain, building new homes at a rate of 300,000 a year, is making a bold effort to solve the housing prob- lem. The sight of tidy suburban homes and blocks of red-brick apartment houses rising throughout the doun- try has brought new hope to many Young married cuples, thousands of whom are still forced to live with in-laws or rent furnished apartments wt rents higher than they can afford. At the end of the war, Britain was faced with the need for neatly 2,000,000 new houses. Bombs had destroyed 220,000 houses and remd- ered another 250,000 permaneittly uninhabitable. Between 1939. and: 1045, building practically ceased. The * Labor government which c into power in 1945 imposed rigid controls on building because of shortages of material. It al- lowed private builders to put up only a small number of houses. The rest of the program 'was handed over to local government authorities with instructions to build houses for renting. g Homes END CONTROLS The Conservatives wiped out many of the controls. They al- lowed private building firms to build as many houses for private sale as they could. The stipula- tion, however, was that the size of the b hould mot 3 1,000 square feet. A house of this size usually has five rooms. The cost of having such a home built, including the price of the one-fifth or' one-sixth of an acre of land on which it stands, is about £2,500 ($7,000). Most Britons having a new house built or buying an older house get the necessary capital through a "building society." The down pay- ment is 10 to 20 per cent of the value of the house. The society lends the rest on a 20-year mort- gage. During this period, the house owner pays the society 12 shillings 10 pence a month for every £10 he has borrowed. This covers both interest and capital repayment. Last year, 1,646,713 families were buying their houses through huild- ing societies, according to the Building Societies Association. FORCED EVEN H Enjoy your home all year long, Get Having determined through a I! that the average Frenchman Pe only a foggy notion of what the United States is like, the French magazine Realites recently sent two of its star reporters to the United States for a first-hand accounting to the home folks. Perhaps because Americans have become accustomed to being cari- catured by slapdash European re- porting, the Realites version seems warm and flattering by compari- son. In any event, the French wri- ers--Renee and Pierre Gosset have pictured the American scene more concisely than most of the awe smitten reports previously pro- sumption.. For the American reader, it's like looking in a mirror and dis- covering that you-don't have lep- rosy after all. . The Gossets, after a careful stu- dy of French viewpoints expressed by the madgazine's poll, decided that for their exploration of Amer- ica, they would avoid starting in New York. tad duced by Europeans for home con- | him heap like that to a man like you, Mr. Gass'tt. . Finally the Gossets found their car and began their discovery of America. The reader cannot help but be impressed by the Gossets open mindedness. They even sought to justify in their own minds the midwestern farmers: : "The Kansas farmer . . . is a man who has feared God and pros- pered, a man who has worked to conquer drought, winds, loneliness and long winters, but who has kept his mind open to new ideas . . It remains to be seen whether iso- lationism is not actually the only possible way of thinking open to Suburbs impressed the Gossets as typically American. "Since no one. really knows where his own lawn ends and his neighbor's begins in an American suburb, we had the charming im- pression of a neighborhood that ha. wandered into the middle of a golf course. We also realized .that life must be miserable for a grouchy neighbor. Every family pl into the life of every other "Though lat Ss, We wa to see the United States through new eyes -and feel "it with the hearts of children. As a point of departure, New York did not fit into our plans at all. It represented a variety of America that has been discovered too often. And by too many people who never went any further." The Gossets spread a map of the United States on the floor and Renee put her finger in dead cen- ter. Kansas City. Twenty-four hours flying time from Paris. As the Gossets landed, they reflected: ""Was this really the quivering sur- face of the Moloch continent where you risk an electric shock from the tension in the air alone?" A methodical immigration offi- cer patiently checked the visitors' credentials, and other people went on calmly about their business. "Something seemed amiss. Then it dawned. This little world of gov- ernment employees was as calm as a party of Sunday fishermen. How was it that so many people were supposed to die of heart con- ditions in this country where ac- tion seemed to be the twin brother of relaxation?" \ The goggle eyed Gossets, in search of a car for their forth- coming tour, set out to explore Kansas City afoot. They decided, after a few blocks, that they must be the only pedestrians in town. '"We were beginning to feel as out of place on our sidewalk as a Cadil- lac in a Watteau landscape." "The street was submerged un- der a slow, continuous wave of do- cile, 'shining cars which flowed along bumper to bumper without a jar or sound. Then we noticed something that never failed to im- press 'us: There were no horns. A side street in Paris or Lyons is noisier than any main avenue in any city of the United States. * RED HOT DEAL FOR AN AUTO With an escort provided by the American Automobile association, the GossEts set out to buy a used car. None of the specimens shown d to fit their requirements. AIR FOR EATING even in rooms fathest from your furnace. Let us coll now end estimate your "One dealer seemed to have the rare bird we were seeking. After a briefing from our mahout he dragged us over-- with a greedy wink--to a handsome Plymouth among 200 others = which - were equally handsome. "That's the car for you, Mr. Gass'tt. And what a steal!' " "He slid into the seat and step- ped on the starter. Nothing hap- pened. Without even trying again, he got out and told us, with the same enthusiastic voice: " 'I wouldn't dream of selling a family, whether it be to borrow a tray of ice cubes or to celebrate a son's return home from Korea." While most American customs seemed to make sense to the Gos- sets, they were astonished by the ritual of politeness that most of us have taken part in without realizing it. Here is how the Gossets de- scribe the ritual of escorting a guest to the front door: "It certainly has been a wonder- fi ening! I reaaly appreciated it" "Oh, it nothjng . . ." "I, had su wonderful time . . . ' "It - was so nice of you to come , ..." "Oh, it was so nice of you to in- vite me. It was heavenly." "You know that the pleasure was all ours." This went on, the Gossets re- ported, for several minutes. "And mechanical as it sounded, it prob- ably was sincere--but our deplor- able European cynicism made it difficult for us to believe a word#®' WHERE DRIVING WAS A PLEASURE Traffic courtesy was a source of unceasing wonder to the Gossets, and their description of a one-day drive is indeed a rosier picture than most Americans would paint. How does this stack up with your experiences on the highway: "There"was a yellow line down the middle of the big concrete high- way on which we were rolling. Soon we realized that when it be- come double, passing was forbid- den. Not only was it forbidden, but no one passed. Driving was a pleas- ure. Every car kept to its right side even where traffic' was almost nonexistent, drivers coming out of side roads actually stopped be- fore turning, great monster truck big asc houses, hugged the shoulder of the road to let us pass (Frenc truck drivers claim this is impos- sible), there was no cheating, no, shrewd maneuvers, no bluff and none of the thousand other tricks that the French motorist uses to get there at someone else's ex- pense. In other words, a Parisian driver would be bored to death in the United States. But, in our own case, we finished our first day's run of 200 miles completely relaxed with a fairly clear idea of the land- scape we had passed. And as for the single horn blast we heard all day leng, it is with shame that we must plead guilty." Because a great many Europeans base their beliefs about treatment of thé Negroes on 'Uncle Tom's Cabin" type information, the Gos- Man and Wife Team of French Writers Finds U.S. Exceeds Boast of Braggers sets headed straight for Mississippi to find out for themselves the de- ree of discrimination that existed. hey were a little disconcerted to discover that even their enlightened notions were outdated. While they deplored a "caste" system of sep- arate facilities for Negroes and whites, they were unable to find any Negro who was gloomy about the state of things. The Gossets spotted television antennas and au- tomobiles at even the humblest Ne- gro dwellings. They made the dis- covery that the Negro is vanishing; he's changing to an American. The Gossets, trying to get an in- sight into the prejudice question, struck up a conversation with a Negro doctor. He spoke pridefully about the progress we American doctors' have made since the war, and "like every doctor in the Unit- ed States, he was obsessed by can- cer." A bit humbled, the Gossets asked themselves: "How could you talk about Negro inferiority to anyone whom you felt to be your equal and who was so obviously free of any complexes?' American Negroes, they observ- ed, have nothing in common with their mother continent of Africa. And if they did have contact with Africa today, the Gossets wrote, "their reaction probably would be one of extreme contempt. For they, too, feel the secret impulse of every citizen of the United States when he comes into contact with, let us say, a Bulgarian -- to get down on his knees and thank God that he was born American." WHAT IMPRESSION OF CHICAGO? The Gossets adventured through Texas to California, then headed back east by way of Chicago. Read- ing their shrewd narrative is like | listening to the playback of a home | recorder that someone had surrep- titiously slipped= under the diner table. While there's nothing exact- ly new about the conversation, it suddenly becomes acutely interest- ing. And so it is with the story of these two Frenchmen and their first adventures in America. We in Wisconsin are pretty much aware of what Chicago is like. Now see it through a Frenchman's eyes: "The beauty of this lake front is unique in the world. It is a series of green parks bisected by eight lane skyscrapers, millionaries' homes, the biggest department stores in the world, hotels the size of small cities and the lapping gray waters which ennoble this urban landscape by bestowing upon it perspective at no cost whatsoever. "Behind his false front -- imme- diately behind it, as close as you can get behind a painted stage set -- there is the triumph of the rusty bedspring which finally broke through the mattress to make its way in the world. Leprous ware houses, empty lots paved with rub- bish, decrepit shacks, slums, and onestory of hovels sprawl out over more than 200 square miles. This is the most majestic tin can town in the world. The eastern states, the Gossets erica, one more likely to charm a European. "But where was the exuberance of California, the superb vigor of Texas and the youth of Arizona? These United States would have surprised us not nearly as much if we had approached them conven- tionally -- as every one has for four centuriees -- from these east- ern shores, so often described."
