Recent books about doll-houses and furnishings cover everything from American period rooms to a two-story frame house typical of American home architecture between the two World 'Wars. Others contain plans for Shaker miniature furniture; a family (tollhouse involving 37 different crafts; and instructions for needlework dollhouse furnishings. One comprehensive volume tells how to make not only scale model dollhouses and furnishings but also dolls, doll clothing and pretend food.

The September booklist from just one New York City publisher, Scribners, includes three eut-and-assemble doll-house books a Shaker home, a Pennsylvania Dutch farmhouse and a Dracula toy theater by Edward Gorey, who created the sets and costumes for the Broadway hit show of that name. Also scheduled are a manual for plastic scale modelmakers and a revised, redesigned reprint of a 1955 classic about 18th and 19th century English dollhouses by the president of the Doll's Club of Great Britain. The American period rooms from Pilgrim times to the early 20th century are described and pictured in Make Your Own Miniature Rooms, by Estelle Ansley Worrell (Hobby House Press, distributed by Scribners $8.95 paper). While patterns are given for windows, doors, fireplaces, mantels, full directions for interiors, some of the furnishings and dolls are in two other books issued by another publisher in .1964 and 1966. The projects in Shaker Miniature Furniture, by-Cynthia and Jerome Rubin (Van Nostrand Reinhold $7.95 paper) require some knowledge of woodworking, although the directions are clear and well-illustrated.

Among the lists provided are miniatures publications and shows, museums, collections and suppliers. Mrs. Rubin is curator of a Shaker exhibit scheduled to open in September at the Museum of American Folk Art in New York City. The "Remember When" Doll-house, by Phyllis Gift Jellison (Van Nostrand Reinhold $7.95 paper) is the frame model with attic and Ishaped front porch. Mrs.

Jellison used, her husband's birthplace as her model for a totally captivating doll-house, and furnished it with miniscule period pieces, handmade as many of the prototypes were. A fair amount of skill and great patience would be needed to make such things as an upright piano, a rococo, tall, mirror-backed hall chair with clothes pegs, a crank-operated Victrola console and a brass bed with wire springs. Everything is one inch to one foot scale. Needlework Miniatures is a 25-page, $3 booklet of home furnishings projects published by leisure Arts of Little Rock, and sold in art needlework departments and shops. Its projects are for knitting, crochet, needlepoint and cross 'stitch.

The Most Wonderful Doll-house Book, by Millie Hines (Butterick $12.95) contains projects for children as well as adults, many using such inexpensive, easy-to-find materials-as socks, paper cups, plastic pint berry baskets Among the projects are dolls and doll clothing, learn-to-sew projects using glue instead of needle and thread, pretend food made from flour, salt, water and food coloring. Some of the dollhouses are simple shadow boxes with one or two rooms. The range of skills needed for Sara B. Stein's projects in A Family Dollhouse (Viking $16.95) is wide. An amateur herself, the author's instructions are in general free from technical terminology.

The soap carving, flower drying and clay food chapters are child's play, while needlework, pottery and objects requiring certain hand tools call for experienced craftspersons. The house itself is an open-front affair with a sharply slanted roof. It is furnished with a combination of homemade and purchased objects and a few antiques. Another delightful book on a related subject, Dolls, by Ethne Rose (Scribners $8.95) was published originally in England, but the projects are perfectly workable for American craft-ers. They range from rag and yarn figures to needlepoint dolls, corndollies and pipe cleaner figure.

A series is a gamble. There's nothing common-sen-sical about what stays on the air and what doesn't." The problem with "Turnabout," he feels, was that NBC didn't give the show enough time to find itself or an audience. "Because TV works so quickly," he claims, "it takes at least a season There was no lead-in for Overall. Schuck thought, that "Turnabout" was sophisticated comedy. But NBC kept pre-empting the series.

Plus, the Friday night slot was disastrous. Schuck is philosophical about the present network-ratings rat race. "The whole network system is declining," he maintains. "Producing and marketing is undergoing a revolution." Basically, with cable TV and video discs, viewers can do without the networks, However, Schuck does think NBC President Fred Silverman is displaying great savvy by developing live event programming that is news and sports. With TV series coming and going faster than competitors in a 50-yard dash, Schuck is wisely extending his talents to film and theater.

He plays George Burns' next-door neighbor in "Just You and Me, Kid" and the underhanded bandit Harvey Logan in "Butch and Sundance: The Early Days." NOWtThebesfZ!

Shuck's characteristic curly locks were shaved for the Warbuck role. As his glistening dome is beginning to tan, the Yui firynner-Telly Savalas jokes have leveled off.

Good-natured Schuck grins and insists his new look "is cooler." He had no trouble adjusting to being bald. "My face didn't change," he insists. "I never have to worry now about going bald. Rather than combing my eyebrows back I can accept myself that way. I do have to shave twice a day though." Asked about his adaptability to different media acting, Schuck replies.

"I'd like to do as wide a number of things as possible this spring I did a TV series, two movies and a Broadway show." Although his role as Sergeant Enright on "McMillan and Wife" was a long-term run, Shuck's most recent flirtation with the series format crumbled within weeks. However, he -claims he'd dive into another series tomorrow. "TV is a wonderful living," NEW 19802 house Queen Victoria, once a patron, would feel comfortably at home. Newtown's most famous son undoubtedly is Robert Owen, who was bora and died here though he left at the age of 10 and didn't return for more than 70 years. Owen pioneered a whole catalogue of social reforms mass schooling for young children, shorter factory hours for women, cooperatives, labor unions, child labor laws, even city planning.

He made a fortune as a young man, then plowed most of it into the communal society of New Harmony. When that experiment broke up in 1827 he left three sons there to carve distinguished; American careers. His statue is in a tiny Newtown square and his elaborate tomb in its abandoned 13th century church. By GREGORY JENSEN NEWTOWN, Wales (UPI) -When you twist down from the green Welsh hills and spot Newtown in its velvet valley, your first impulse may be to go somewhere else. That would be a pity.

Newtown looks routine. It seems to have no great age and no distinction. Even regional guidebooks find little to Yet under its dull-looking surface is a zany patchwork of oddities mixed with monuments of utmost importance. The forerunners of all modern factories are here. So is the world's first mail order business.

Robert Owen was born here, and Owen the pioneer of New Harmony, Indiana is a patron saint of social reformers whose visionary ideas helped inspire everything from labor unions to child labor laws.

Upstairs are long, open lofts. They now hold a museum of flannel and its times a loom or two, pictures of 37 varieties of sheep, hand-made models of every stage in the flannel-making process. A complete old-fashioned cobbler's shop is in one corner, a milliner's shop in another.

In between is a jumble of slightly bizarre local mo-mentoes including a knocker-upper's wand, "Knocker-uppers" were human alarm clocks. They prowled at dawn through British mill towns rapping on upstairs windows wtfh this long, flexible wand to wake workers. A faded newspaper clipping says the last knocker-upper made her rounds in Lancashire in 1925 for a salary of tuppence (now 4 cents) a week per customer. It's a job straight out of Dickens, and it gives the first hint of what" conditions once were like here. Suddenly you realize that these chunky buildings were ingenious, self-contained units factory, upstairs, housing below.

Each loft has 12 big windows, each to light a hand loom. Downstairs the workforce lived in tiny two-room flats. Men, women and children slaved at least 12-hour days in these lofts for meagre wages, with no heat, little ventilation, no power but their own muscle. For a few decades, before steam power spread, these were the Industrial Revolution's first production-line plants, the ancestors of every factory in the modern world. Sir Pryce Pryce-Jones built his fortune on these looms.

He was "supplier of flannel to "Royal Households at home and abroad," and much more, In 1879, he installed the first world-wide mail order business in his Royal Welsh Warehouse. Terra cotta medallions in its red brick facade record dates when railways linked Newtown with Paris and Vienna, St. Petersburg and Rome, and let Pryce-Jones's business span the globe. Now the PryceJones store is for personal shoppers, a delightfully old-fashioned building with a sweeping grand staircase and stained glass window. Despite its modern wares heaped in piles like a discount tv original 1920s style as a contribution to European Art." One major church, says one writer, is "a striking and to some tasted perfectly hideous piece of Victorian Gothic in yellow brick," and its most famous store looks like the Victorian grandmother of a discount house.

Newtown, 190 miles west of London, is now the development center of depressed north Wales. And it is not all that new. It began with a fortress on the River Severn, which typically was destroyed before it was finished. The town charter dates from 1279. Then it went to sleep for 500 years.

Flannel woke it up. A roaring boom in flannel quadrupled Newtown's population in 30 years, just at that critical moment when the Industrial Revolution was moving out of cottage handwork into full-scale factories. That moment of transition is preserved down Broad Street and across the river in chunky, four-story buildings. A half-dozen of these buildings, which would be national monuments anywhere else, are falling into decay or are used as storehouses. One is preserved as a quaint and charming homegrown museum.
