Plants, nourished by special lighting, flourish along the outside. From this point the atomitat has the appearance of any fashionable home.

Special lighting treatment gives a three-dimensional effect of an outside scene from the front windows and doors, eliminating any cave-dwefling feeling. Mixtures of special lights create illusions of twilight, daylight, and night. "We love it," said Mrs. Swayze. "But if we built another house we'd put it in a hill.

A landscaped garden provides a ground level invitation to the atomitat. It is accented in the center with a 14-foot-thick rock garden which forms the exhaust for the air system below. A brick garage sits on a corner of the lot, with a stockade fence on three sides.

Attached to the garage are a study, kitchenette, half-bath and day room. This is all for entertaining topside. A wide stairway of quarry "The only way we can tell if dust is blowing is to go up and look," Mrs. Swayze said. "We never get any dirt down here at all." Insurance rates are only about one-eighth what they are for ordinary homes of comparable cost, primarily because the atomitat is secure against fallout, tornadoes, hailstorms, dust and general deterioration by weather, she said.

The home includes 2,400 square feet of living space, with all floors carpeted in gold De Gaulle, following up his demand for withdrawal of U. S. troops and NATO bases from France, told Bonn in a new diplomatic note it has until July 1 to tell him whether it wants French troops to remain in West Germany. Otherwise, the note said, France will' start taking the troops out on that date. THE NOTE, which was phrased in unsually blunt language, was delivered to Bonn Wednesday and made public yesterday.

It came as West German and British leaders prepared talks today in London centering on the crisis facing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). France has some 74.000 soldiers and airmen in Germany under NATO command.

THE FORMER commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization wrote that he feels "we should seek authority to sell appropriate nuclear weap- "VVJ.

rangements to be approved by the NATO organization that could operate effectively in the defense of Europe." But Hickenloopcr said he is "against selling or delivery of nuclear weapons to any other nation" and added: "just as a bald proposition I would be against it." Symington said he thinks Russia would respond to any U. S. transfer of nuclear weapons by pulling out of negotiations for a proposed nonproliferation treaty. Hickenlooper called for am- plication of Eisenhower's pro- posal. And Jackson said a Sen ate government operations subcommittee he heads will go deeper into the matter in pursuing its current inquiry into NATO policies.

"This nuclear problem is one that we are deeply concerned about," Jackson said, "because rightly or wrongly much of the (NATO) trouble involves it. My own view is that we should be very slow to make any changes in the basic system under which we are operating." KENNEDY SAID he doubts that the NATO allies, including West Germany, would want the kind of nuclear proliferation inherent in Eisenhower's suggestion. Eisenhower did not mention Germany in connection with nu clear weapons. But he said that to make up for the French withdrawal of forces from NATO, "other nations, more specially the federal republic of Germany, should be encouraged to develop more military power." Kennedy noted that any trans fer of nuclear weapons to Western European countries "would tend to complicate our relations with India and Pakistan and with Israel and Egypt." This suggestion does not go to the heart of the problem of what we and our allies will be facing in the 1970s what the next generation of Americans will be facing," he said. "Our efforts in the long-term vital interests of peace for man kind, should be to restrict the spread of nuclear weapons, not encourage it." Death Quiets Crying Baby New York (UPI) The 3- week-old girl in a Bellevue Hospital children's ward was crying loudly yesterday.

A 5-year-old boy, hospitalized in the same ward with chicken pox, sought to quiet her. Police said the boy, whose name was withheld, picked up the infant, dropped her, then put her back in her crib.

"We've gotten so accustomed to it now that some days we don't even go up and look around." The slender, attractive housewife spoke as she sat in a paneled den not unlike those in thousands of modern homes. But her house is 13 feet underground.

She, her builder-contractor husband, and their daughters Cheryl, 20, and Nancy, 18, have lived in it three years. The four bedroom, three-bath house is called an atomitat, for atomic habitat. It has a den, living room, dining room, kitchen and even a patio, all enclosed within a concrete shell. The atomitat blossomed from an idea Swayze had some years ago at a civil defense discussion on family fallout shelters. The Swayzes do not discuss the cost of the atomitat but Mrs.

Swayze said recently her home was duplicated in Colorado for $80,000. Swayze also built a similar underground home for display at the New York World's Fair. Mrs. Swayze said this one was "considerably more expensive because of labor union specifications." Everyone in the Swayze family has adapted to the sub- IZ, (. Now uini.

Both West German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard and Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroeder have said publicly that they want the French forces to remain after they are removed from NATO command. BUT the latest French note clearly showed de Gaulle is becoming impatient with the lack of a firm proposal from West Germany. The note also was the latest in an increasingly embittered exchange between France and Germany since de Gaulle first announced he would pull out of NATO because of alleged encroachment on French sov ereignty by the United States.

them on spelling or capitalization. During the summer months, when children are released from the pressures of the classroom, they should be encouraged to spend some time writing for the sheer enjoyment of placing their own thoughts on paper. Boys and girls should also be given every possible opportunity and encouraged to develop skill in the use of their hands. Manipulative skills requires practice and is an important background for the inventor. An executive, charged with supervision of men engaged in creative designs, said, "Men who have worked extensively' with their hands design mechanisms that more often operate well than do men who have not worked with their hands." Because a boy enjoys rebuilding an automobile does not necessarily mean that he will enjoy the study of engineering requiring rigorous courses in mathematics and physics.

It does mean, however, that he is building a background for a better understanding of how machines operate. Because of this experience, he may be more successful in an occupation dealing with machines or, indeed, he may become a successful inventor. The girl who takes an active part in redecorating the home or doing some dressmaking for herself may well be laying the groundwork for becoming an interior decorator or dress designer. By LESLIE J.

He can develop these feelings easier in a family group where he is respected as an individual and has the security of "belonging." Thus, home is a piace where originality should be encouraged. Originality in thought and action shows up in art, music, writing and inventiveness. Early evidences of these abilities should be carefully nurtured.

For example, many successful writers say that their own writing attempts were encouraged by their parents well ahead of the time they were introduced to grammar in school. (The school's preoccu- pation with grammar and spelling often smothers the possibility of a child doing creative writing.) These writers were free, at an early age, to concentrate their thoughts on what thy wished to say. Their writings were read and enjoyed for content alone.

Brinkley branded the war an "endless, pointless, futureless exercise where we are not going to achieve anything substantial. Sure I'm Little.
