The typical house, as Tass editors could have discovered if they had bothered to query their U.S. correspondents, is being built by All-State Properties, Inc. at Commack, N.Y., and will sell for $13,000, including a complete electric kitchen. Houses in the splitnik's category account for 27% of all new U.S. homes...
