BY GORDON HIRABAYASHI

During the December annual
banquet of the local Civic Unity
Committee. Seattle was heralded as
Americas most democratic city.
While such a sweeping claim may
be open to challenge from other
cities. I do believe Seattle is a
mong the leaders III progressive
social action.
Not many cities are willing to
face the scrutiny of an unbiased
social survey for the purpose of re-
vealing where the racial and reli-
eious tensions are.
Yet. the Council of Social Agen-
cies together with the University
of Washington. undertook the
task of sponsoring city-wide in
tergroup attitude survey.
The purpose of this survey was
to provide the relevant facts
from which various social agen-
cies may plan program of &C
ton. An organization which en-
banks upon a program to elimin-
ate prejudice. and which at the
same time makes no provision
for measuring the effectiveness OF
it's program, has no way of find
ing out if its program has result
ed in improvement or in deteri-
grafton of the situation.
while the ueadIIne for this
edition comes too soon for a re-
port on the Seattle Intergroup
Audit Survey, we have some in
teresting information on SINH
lar survey conducted among
representative cross section OF
the population of the State of
Washington.
The state survey interviewed
white respondents only (while thu
city survey interviewed all group
and therefore will reveal minorit,
group attitudes toward other mi
nority groups)
1t is one things to talk abou
intergroup relations by askinI
persons about their approval o
disapproval of different PROPOSE
tions. 1t is quite another thin
to probe their likes and dislikes o
different racial and religious groups
In the state survey an attemp
was made to measure intergreul

While a majority of the popu-
lation have read about race prob
lens in newspapers and magazines,
only a small minority have eX-
pended much time and effort in
this field.
The state survey among the
white population of the state of
Washington reveals that the Ne
groes have the greatest social
distance followed by the Japa-
panese and the Chinese. The Jews
have the greatest social distance
among the religious groups as far
as the Washington state white po-
pulation is concerned. There is n
distinctly greater racial conscious
ness than there is religious cons
ciousness as Judged by the dislike
feelings.
Acguaintanceship with mino-
rity racial groups was not high.
Most Westinghouse have not
worked or lived in the same neigh
borhood with minority groups
Those who reported contacts
with Negroes were more likely to

had no contacts.

Audit Survey tabulations are re-

tension along a scale of social
distance. This was accomplished
by using seven questions, each of
which was concerned with a very
fundamental and basic kind of in
tergroup relationship. These re-
lationships were as follows:
l. Go to the same public
schools as teen age boys and girls
of your own group.
2. Work beside as equals on
a job.
5. Live in your neighbOrhood.
4. Have as next door neigh
b0rs.
5. Invite into your home for
a social evening.
6. Date teen age boys and
girls of your own group.
I. Be willing to marry.
Each respondents reaction was
probed by direct interviewing il
regards to the four racial and the
three religious groups in each Of
the above relationships.
Below is a tabulation of the pro
portion of persons who would no
like" to have each of the religious
and racial groups in each of thu
social situations.

low grade. Concrete Is poured
directly into the post holes and
the upright timbers are set into
them.
Variation From Barn.
This is one variation from barn
construction. While a half inch
of settlement is not important
in a barn, settling of even an
eighth of an inch in a house
can cause plaster cracks. Hence
the concrete footings are impor-
tant.
Perimeter foundations, how
ever, are merely frost walls to
keep the floor from heaving in
zero weather. These frost walls
bear no weight, so they can be
only 6 inches thick, instead Of
the 8 to IL inches for conven-
tional foundations. Also they
need no footings. They are merely
carried down below the frost level.
With the 4-by-4s and 4-by-6s
standing in midair, horizontal
girts are nailed across these pill
lars. 1t is not necessary to have
these girts fit, They can be Tapped

Economies Claimed for New Style of House Framing

ing their heads that any economy
in lumber might be Offset in lost
labor time.
But on the other hand, spon-
sors of this type of framing claim
that it is so simple that farm
hands can execute it. And they
cite the savings that are inevitable.
Farm Journal lists them as follows: !:
LESS concrete (by about Is
per cent? goes into frost walls
and footingS for timbers than in
usual foundations.
No Forms Below Grade.
"No forms are needed except
above ground. Holes for footings
can be dug and concrete poured
at once. AS soon as treated tim
bers and frame work are in place,
concrete floors and frost walls can
be poured at one time.
"No basement means a real
saving in costly excavation, yards
of concerto, and hours of digging
deep bitches for sewage drains.
LESS lumber is needed. Using
timbers instead Of studding saves
about 20 per cent.
"No saving of rafters or studs
that's real saving in labor.

Lumber shortages and higher
costs for both lumber and labor
have given a boost to a new style
of house framing.
Called rigid-pillar construction,
it has been developed from the
pole type of framing used by
Shrewd farmers in building barns.
Builders who have tried it re-
port that it results. in savings of
20 per cent in lumber, Is per
cent in concrete, many man
hours of work and an ultimate
house cost of $697 per square
foot in areas where customary
construction averages $40 to $12
per square foot.
Briefly it is a system of hang
ing the walls of a house between
timbers standing on end eight
feet apart and anchored in con-
crete footings.
1t eliminates all studs-the
upright 2 by Is commonly spaced
every 16 inches in customary
house framing. 1t requires no
plates-the structural members
on which rafters rest. 1t calls for
no sills-the planks that tie the
usual framing of house to it's
foundation. And it does away
with saving rafters, studs and
other members-rafters are al
lowed to overlap at the ridge and
horizontal girts in the walls are
simply Tapped when they are too
long.
It's a sound method of con-
struction. B. G. Perkins of the
Doane Agricultural Service of St.
Louis. who helped to popularize
pole type barns in collaboration
with the Farm Journal, used
rigid pillar framing for his own
house.
Architects and contractors
carefully checked the Perkins
house." Farm Journal reported,
"and agreed it has structural and
architectural excellence"
Short Cut in Time.
And the scheme is a short cut
in time. The Doane service con-
Quoted a demonstration in barn
construction on the Willard
Spicer farm in Tioga County,
N. Y. to show how easily loaf
ing barn could be built on a
dairy farm.
Poles, resembling telephone
poles. were set up at eight-foot
intervals around the perimeter of
the proposed structure. At 8 am,
Is carpenters took over. They
soon had horizontal girds in place,
and working without scaffolding
using the girds as ladders
they had most of the rafters in
place by 11:30 am.
At 2 o'clock the same after
noon, the finishing touches were
being put on the roof and the
structure was completed in less
than one working day.
In house construction under
this rigid pillar plan, the barn
poles are substituted by 4-by-6s
at corners and 4-by-4s every eight
feet along the sides. These tim
bers are treated under pressure
with creosote, or other preserva-
tives, to give them a lifetime of
at least so years. This pressure
treatment is important. There
are various companies specialize
ing in it every section of country.
Post holes are dug for foot
ings, as well as trenches below

or combinations of metal foil and
loose mineral wool.
When this method was original
ly advanced, some architects OBJ
jected on the grounds that car
penters knew conventional franz
ing so well that they required no
framing plans-that with any
change in framing the carpenters
might spend so much time scratch

of $2,750,000,000, this left total
of $671 $4,000 available for the
purchase of additional mortgages.
