WEST GERMAN CONSCRIPTS PRINCESS

Regular Army Or Compact Atomic Fighting Force?

By CERALD LONG

Bonn, Apr. 29.

While the first conscripts of the new West Gorman army, the Bundeswehr, are settling into their basic training, the country is already asking what the future of conscription here will be.

The 9,733 young men, all aged 19, who reported to barracks throughout the country on April 1, will serve only 12 months, instead of the 18 originally planned, but abandoned largely because of popular opposition.

MODULAR HOUSING METHODS SIMPLE AND ECONOMIC

B EDWIN HOOKER

Parls, Apr. 29. Earthquake-proof houses now being built on the Greek island of Santorin, where an earthquake wrecked the villages of Euplimie and Lacythra last July, are pioneers of a revolution in building methods which, it is hoped, will cure Europe's `acute housing shortage.

Homes for the earthquake survivors are being built of locally quarried pumice stone in blocks measuring 20 by 40 centimetres. Instead of overlapping like ordinary masonry or bricks, the stones are placed one above the other vertically. Each has a vertical hole through it, and steel reifi- forcements run through the holes from top to bottom of the wall.

Houses so built should stand up to any future tremora which miny shake the volcanic Island, But of greater importance to people living in places where no such terror lurks are the dimen- stons of the blocks,
