Solving an Entry Problem
By BETTY PEPIS
Contributing Writer

The country wide accep-
tance by architects and
builders Of the open floor
plan has created a broblem:
the front door which opens
directly into the living room.
Some kind of screening de-
vice to create an entry which
will serve as a transitional
space between indoors and
out is desirable for it creates
a calmer, more serene at
mosphere in the living room.
One Of the more striking
solutions seen of late was in
a very modern house. The
owner placed two brass poles
6 feet apart about 5 feet
from the front door and fac
ing it. Between these poles
he hung a billiant abstract
painting in the larger size to
which today's painters seem
addicted.
The canvas stretched
across the 6-foot space and
was approximately 4 feet
high. It therefore left space
empty top and bottom and
did not intrude upon the
rooms open and airy feeling.
A Suggestion
A row Of three tall trees
"a cross between a plum and
a bamboo) contained in
handsome modern ceramic
containers was the device
employed in another home to
make a partial division be-
tween two areas. Three spot
lights attached to the cell
ing dramatized the greenery
as well as insuring it's growth
in an area with little day.
light.
An ingenious use of a win
dow curtaining material was
the solution in a city apart
ment. This was a new ver-
sion of the now familiar
vertical blind which, like an
ordinary Venetian blind, can
be adjusted to various posi-
tions, but which has the Stats
going up and down rather
than across.
In this particular case the
Stats were not of metal. fab
ric or wood but made of
hanks Of brightly colored
yarn repeating the colors in
the living room decor. The
fact that the blind was ad-
Unstable made it possible to
provide more or less privacy
in the area blocked off.
A building material was the
selection of an interior de-
signer who built a see
though wall just 4 feet wide
facing the front door. He
used metal mesh for the pur-
pose, putting it up like any
heavier opaque wall. 1t was
painted red.

of green-blues. While paint
ing the pink walls I would
suggest painting gold walls,

sale and leasebacks. The
Kavanau Corporation owns
properties in various parts OF
ne country.
Ia a typical transaction, a
company owns some land and
b1iloings, such as a store or
factory. To effect a leaseback,
the Arm sells its property TO

Thus, the old landlord be-

Top blue chip companies

tracts wealth, many of these
Americans get to know only
that small part Of Latin Amer
lean society which can afford
North American tastes. They
live outside the seething world
Of social change.
Among young Latins colossal
North American ignorance of
modern Latin America is ac-
cepted almost as an article of
faith. They shrug or smile
cynically when American tour
lists ooh and aah over the SUI
perb four-lane eXpresswayS
along the sprawling bayfront
and through the wide tunnels
in the hills of Rio, or over the
modern office buildings which
line wide avenues of bowling

How many North Ameri-
cans know Buenos Aires has a
subway system, or that Sac
Paulo has a skyscraper hub
like Times Square and flyovers
along its central avenues which
would be the IVY of any
United States city?" asked one
Latin journalist.
He did not expect an answer.
Great Difficulty
Therein lies the great diff
ficulty. Many of these critics
do not want answers. They
have an image of North Amer
leans built up through years
of neglect and misplaced pa
ternalism. That image will not
change overnight, whatever the
real changes in United States
policy.

American diplomat in Lima.
why, there is not one person
stationed here who does not
speak Spanish fluently." He
admitted it will probably be
years before the old stereotype
breaks down.
The North American pres
ence and power is the one con-
slant in this changing hemi-
sphere. Therefore, the reform
ers, the revolutionaries. the
discontented and the alienated
all can blame the "Gringo"
for past and present injustice.
For these people the Mort h
American is not a human be-
ing. He is a symbol Of the
dying order.
Take Fresh Look
Fortunately a counterbal-
ance exists. The rise of Fidel
Castro and the boost he has
given leftist extremism h ave
caused Latin American mod
crates to take a fresh look.
They at least are prepared to
admit the change in United
States official attitudes an d
the common threat to demo-
cratic institutions in the hem
isphere.
With this admission comes
the realization that under
standing is a two-way street,
and that stereotypes must be
destroyed on both sides.
In Latin America today there
are scores of North Americans
who are neither clustered nor
aloof. They are doing social
work among the Bolivian In
dians, or teaching in Paraguay
an nursing schools, or giving
technical advice farm bureaus.
Many of these people can
claim with justice to be closer
to the impoverished masses
than the young demagogues
who absorb a dose Of Marxism
at the university.
But it is not enough. To the
