British ParatrOOps
 In Surprise Attack On Malaga Reds
By Robert B. Hewett

SINGAPORE, (P}- British para troopers jumped into rain-swept Malayan jungle clearing Saturday in daring attack against a sus- pected communist stronghold near the Thailand border.
 Fifty seven pi k d jumpers made the raid, first paratroop operation against the terroriSts in five years of fighting. They did it to nip a reported communist propaganda move-declaration of Red state in Malaga.
 "This is better than walking" '" said Maj. Alastair McGregor shortly before he led troopers of special air service regiment in a leap 600 feet above the treetops.
 The first radio message, 40 min utes after the jump, reported mo opposition - everything okay."
 From the air there were no signs of movement, except that of the paratroopers, wading through rice paddles and untangling khaki chutes from the trees.

Best House Types For Alaska Climate To Be Determined

What kind of house should build in the northern part of Alaska, the Panhandle of Alaska, the coastal area of Alaska? Should my Alaskan home be essentially cheerful, light and expansive, or should it be like parka-keep the elements out and the heat in?
 How much money should be spent on insulation? How much heat should be sacrificed to per init picture windows to give a sense of freedom and escape to those who live within?
 With building costs rising high CT and higher, people want to know what type architecture, what kind of housing materials, and what type of interior decora- ton would make the most eff cient and most livable home for the Territory.
 The Alaska Housing Authority is starting a program to find the answers to these questions. MT. E. Glen Wilder, the Executive Di- rector of the AHA, which has loaned more than $13,000,000 to finance adequate home construc- ton for Alaska, hopes that he can come up with a type of house that fits Alaska as we'll as the Cape Cod dwelling fits New England.
 "We in Alaska have a lot to learn about housing and home construction" MT. Wilder said. "The Board of Commissioners of the AHA has authorized a pro- gram 10 start right from scratch to find out everything there is to know about the problems of building here: our short winter days, the around -the-clock day. irh in summer, and also the psychological and physiological factors of life in the Territory"
 At the AHA Board Meeting in Juneau last month, Vice-chair- man z. J. Loussac, raised the question that started the search for the home types best suited for Alaska.
 Loussac said, Driving through Baltimore one time I was shocked to see the miles of houses that were exactly alike. I wondered what kind of people came out of

those houses. I wondered if the the people who lived in these Baltimore type homes and their aspirations were as stereotyped as the houses they lived in. I saw the same thing in other communities across the land. I wondered if we in Alaska were not falling into rut by accepting the architec- tural styling that has become the accepted standard in the States" Loussac said.
 So the Alaska Housing Author ity will start from scratch and study every type of architecture, every method of construction, every type of home in America and abroad to come up with the answers Alaskans want.
