November 26, 1970, BROOKLYN HEIGHTS .5 5 Minutes From Wall Street Tittle Houses, Big Rooms' Opens At Brooklyn Museum (Continued from page 4) READ Where When Page 7 This would seem to explain Jacobs' smaller Republican vote compared to Victor Tirabasso, who did not run an active campaign two years ago. What had apparently occurred was that in 1968 the liberal anti-war voters turned to Tirabasso as an alternative to Cong. Rooney, who had defeated both iken-berry and Fred Richmond in the Democratic primary earlier that year. This year, these voters left the Republican line since Eikenberry was now in the race and Jacobs seemed to be running more as a conservative Republican than as a moderate. One of Mr.

Jacobs' positions which surfaced late in the campaign was his reply to a question at the League of Women Voters forum that he was against gun control legislation. would look forward to hearing from any of our readers as to their own interpretations on the elections.

Its one -story central chimney construction, with steep, sloping roof is characteristic of Dutch houses in both the old and new worlds. It was originally built about 1675 on Mill Island in the town Flatlands, now a part of Brooklyn. The most recent example is the John D. Rockefeller House, from West 54th St. in Manhattan, originally built in 1860 and remodeled in in 1885.

The Rockefeller house has been replaced by the Museum of Modern Art. Also included are the Reuben Bliss House, the Francis Corbin House, the Col. Robert J. Milligan House, the Perry Plantation House and the Nicholas Schenck House. "Little Houses, Big Rooms" will be on view in the lobby of the Brooklyn Museum through January, 1971.

Mulligan and wagon tracks are visible in the street alongside but nearby the sunlight filters through the moss-fringed trees shading the gracious Perry Plantation home in Sum-merville, South Carolina. This apparent paradox is resolved when "Little Houses, Big Rooms" opens at The Brooklyn Museum on Nov. 25. On view will be seven minutely detailed models of the historic American houses from which the Museum's period rooms were acquired, along with scale models of some of the rooms, completely furnished and decorated in miniature. The entire community is invited to celebrate the Thanksgiving Eve opening of "Little Houses, Big Rooms" from 4-7 p.

m. and cider and doughnuts will be served. This enchanting excursion into other times and other places is the work of Albert Fehrenbacher, master woodcarver from the Black Forest in Germany, who has spent several years on the Museum's fourth floor, recreating the past from old photographs and drawings. Prior to World War II, Fehrenbacher was employed as a modelmaker at Berlin's Museum of World Science. Taken prisoner during the war, he spent five years in a Russian camp during which time he began work on a panoramic Nativity scene, designed to carry the message of peace and brotherhood for all.

U-pon his release, Fehrenbacher joined the staff of the Linden Museum inStutt-gard where his Potola Model for the Tibetan Exhibition in 1956 won him international recognition. However, Fehrenbacher was still dedicated to his plans for an international Nativity scene, which he completed and exhibited extensively throughout Europe. In 1965, he came to this country with his magnificent work which has since been shown in almost 150 churches and community centers. Grateful for the friendliness with which he has been received in the United States Fehrenbacher sajd, "This country, it has been good to me I am happy in this work I do the Brooklyn Museum." Hastily he added, "it is not finished yet at least four more houses I have to do." Then smiling shyly, he apologized for "having much trouble with speaking English but I hope I speak from heart to heart with my models." The models included in "Little Houses, Big Rooms" offer a survey of various types of American homes from 1675 to 1885. The earliest example is the Jan Martense Schenck House, a will be assisted by Mrs.

The case involved Lawrence Wheatman, a student at George Washington High School who should have been graduated in June 1970 but whose diploma was withheld. NYCLU filed suit in State Supreme Court, and alleged that the school had no legal authority to deny a diploma merely for failing gym, and that in fact the failure was a reprisal for Wheatman's political activities last spring in support of a pa- J- in Henry St. HEW HEIGyTS 6ARA6ES rents' grievance table.
