Created by Set-Back Winga Allows Extra Landscaping Between House and Street Design Has Rambling Rural Look out by Congress and the industry but only if they included both the dairy cuts and the field crop reductions Anything short of that could be vetoed he's indicated and that would cause serious problems for the dairy and tobacco industries Dairy Interests have been struggling for two years to find a way to slash costs of their price support program which will cost taxpayers $24 billion this year They fear that if government spending is not significantly curtailed the entire program will be abolished The same fear is held by tobacco interests whose program has survived on only the narrowest of margins as antismoking groups and critics of the allotment system gain strength in Congress The committee could take up the target price freeze again next week But with the panel possibly evenly split on the issue the members fighting against it say they won't change their minds until they get more information from Block about what his plans are for supply management in 1984 THE DAIRY plan an amalgamation of all the methods proposed to reduce spending is expected to cut US milk production next year by II billion pounds and lower price support costs to $711 million ByBobFIck AfMctottS FrM Wrttar WASHINGTON Opponents of President plan to cut $38 billion from price supports for major field crops over the next two years have won an initial victory in the Senate Agriculture Committee But they may now be facing action in the hill Senate that could cost them even more in 1984 and 1985 support protection for wheat feed grains rice and cotton The Senate committee responding to Agriculture Secretary John drive to rein in the skyrocking costs of farm programs approved legislation Thursday that could cut multibillion-dollar dairy price support costs by more than two-thirds from this year to next But the committee was sharply divided over the spending reduction in the strolled target price program for field crops and declined to act on it amid strong lobbying efforts from both sides Instead committee members added to the dairy plan a major overhaul of the government's complex tobacco program that freezes price supports and should by 1990 end control of US tobacco production by nonfanners clinging to an antiquated allotment system THE TARGET price proposal called for freezing at the 1983 levels the target prices for 1984 and 1985 which otherwise will rise by as much as 65 percent a year Sen Richard Lugar R-Ind one of Block's chief allies in the Senate now says that if the committee persists In refusing to approve the target price freeze he'll propose abolishing that program completely when the dairy-tobacco program goes to the full Senate for a vote In 1981 Lugar fell only two votes short of doing just that Through target prices the government pays fanners the difference between the target and the actual market price when market prices are depressed The program will pump $27 billion into farmers' pockets this year and another $64 billion over the following two even with the freeze Block has said that unless farm programs costs which will hit $21 billion this year are reduced the future of many government support programs will be in Jeopardy because of mounting public concern over federal budget deficits a feeling that $21 billion of the deficit is being caused by farm programs" Lugar warned "That's intolerable" ALTHOUGH Block outlined his own program for slashing that cost he agreed to accept the compromises worked By Andy Lm A three-part layout with set-back wings gives this design a rural rambling appearance although the amount of living space is moderate The central section's wide front porch captures the charm of early houses Delineated by subtle arches spindle posts and railings the entry also comes in handy as an extension of living space during pleasant weather The area provided by the set-back wings allows for plenty of landscaping between the house and street At the rear the wooden deck accommodates gatherings in a rustic setting and with privacy Architect Thomas Cohen has unified the plan's traditional lines by using shuttered windows all along the length and locating the garage doors at the side Gambrel-styled ends finish off the roofs of the wings handsomely Wood shingles lend a bright country look and stone accent walls and a massive side chimney are eye-catching contrasts The country kitchen living and dining spaces are directly accessible to each other so that they can be used as a total multi-purpose space while entertaining guests However the front bedroom is given an ample measure of seclusion along with a very attractive outlook across the full-width porch The two rear bedrooms are a good distance from central living areas A fireplace at the end wall of the living room provides a focal point for furniture placement Formal meals will find a pleasant setting in the dining room where windows afford views of the back garden To the rear a wide portion of the country kitchen becomes an effective family room Its central location makes this informal space extremely useful for a variety of family meals and gatherings Sliding glass doors open onto the wood deck THE KITCHEN ITSELF has an efficient U-shaped layout of counters and appliances including a double sink It is open to the family portion but set off from it so that the work area remains traffic free Between the kitchen and two-car garage with no intrusion on householding areas and a good buffer for drafts and muddy feet is the mud hall A stacked washer-dryer is in an alcove and there's direct access to the garage and backyard as well as to the rest of the house The master bedroom suite with windows on two sides extends the full depth of the house It has three closets one a walk-in Its windowed bath and vanity alcove form a complete dressing area set apart from the sleeping section Bedrooms two and three each
