The building industry needs a
new concept in home construc-
ton so dynamic that people will
begin discarding old homes like
old automobiles to get new models
each year or two.
So said C. F. Rassweiler, vice
president in charge of research
for the Johns-Mansville Corp.
when he spoke yesterday at a
meeting of the Washington Build
ing Congress in the Mayfiower
Hotel.
Perhaps this may sound like
a wasteful procedure. but &C
tually it is the economically sound
and historically correct solution
for the problem of low-cost hous-
ing" he declared.
Mr.. RaSsweiler conceded he
does not know what that new
concept in housing is. He said
that, if he knew, he would get
busy and develop it. There have
been improvements in housing, he
pointed out. But, they have not
been of magnitude to cause peo-
pie to sell to get something better.

District Shoe Dealers
Ordered 10 Halt Use
OF X-Ray Machines

Shoe dealers in the District
who use X-ray machines in fit
ting shoes on customers will have
to stop the practice, the District
Commission on Licensure has or
dered.
At its meeting yesterday in the
Municipal Center, the commission
was advised by District Attorney
George Morris Fay, a member
that the use of X-ray machines
by store clerks is a violation of
the law. The law requires the
presence of a physician or an
X-ray technician when the ma
chimes are used.
Health Officer Daniel L. Seek
niger said any competent shoe
salesman could fit person better
without the use of the machines,
which show only the foot from
the top down and do not give
a side view.

time but held it up to study OBJ
jections of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association.
The commission also decided
to resume issuing "borderline"
certificates to physicians in Alex
andria and in Arlington and Fair
fax Counties, permitting them to
treat patients in the District. The
action followed receipt of infor-
nation from the Virginia Board
of Medical Examiners that Wash
ington physicians will be per-
mitted to treat patients in nearby
Virginia, after they have obtained
certificates from the Virginia au-
thorities. The certificates will
cost 81 for physicians both in the
District and Virginia.

Dynamic Home Concept Urged
To Sturt Yearly Trude-Ins

Research now is aimed at re-

Rassweiler said. Savings can be

the work of two and by develop
ing building materials that can be
applied in larger units. he said.

Bad Homes Produce
Majority Of Arsonisfs
BY oBSTFELD

Broken homes, poverty, alcohol,
and lack of education have been
responsible for most of the arson
committed in the United States
during the past year, the National
Board of Fire Underwriters re-
ported this week.
No recent evidence has been
found of organized arson rings
nor of professional firebugs, the
National Boards Committee on In
cendiariSm and Arson stated at
the organizations 84th annu a
meeting in New York City.

persons" whose chaotic home con-
ditions are likely to lead to crime
of all sorts, cause most of the fires
that are set for money or thrill,
according to the Committees re-
port. 1t also added that when these
facts are more generally recognized
and proper treatment made avail
able for such persons, these fires
will decrease.
Last year the special investi-
gators of the National Board work
ed on 3,151 cases of fires of sus-
piciouS origin, an increase of 257
over the preceding year.
These resulted in Al more arrests
81 more convictions and fewer
acquittals during 1949 than the
year before. In 1949 there were
GA arrests, 433 convictions and
SO acquittalS.
