In preparing the code, the COM
missions researchers analyzed
245 local codes and building
ordinances in New York State
and found from one to four major
deficiencies in most Of them
obsolescent provisions. incom-
plete fireproofing rules. rigid
specifications and wide variations.
The new code applies to one
family and two-family dwellings.

parently to develop the maximum
volume of work for powerful

Building codes are very i'm
portant. They are part of the
police power of the State to pro-
tect people in matters of safety,
health and welfare. There have
been building codes for 1000 yeaxs.
The Code of Hammurabi. CHS
|eled in stone, read: IF a builder
erect a house for a man and do
not make its construction firm,
and the house collapse and cause
the death of the owner, that
builder shall be put to DEATH"
Still Optional.
Well, New York's electric chair
doesn't figure in this new code.
It's more of gentleman's agree
ment. Although it took effect No
vember /. it is still an optional
proposition. Municipalities wish
ing to accept it in preference to
their own will have to do so vol
unfairly.
However, home builders, civic
and trade organizations are turn
ing on the heat for LOCAL adoption.
A countrywide campaign for the
code has been started by the
Home Builders Association of
Westchester. In that suburban
county just north of New York
City, 81 different codes are IN
force. They are proving expen-
sive luxuries for the man who
builds.
In one community only clap
pipe is allowed for sewage drain
age-iron pipe is prohibited.
Across the line in the next COM
only iron pipes can be
used-clay pipe is banned.

Architects, builders and me-
chanics are confronted with a

tional costs to correct craftsmen's
error arising from lack of knowl-
edge of detailed local regulations. !"
The value Of uniformity is es-
Ipecially important because of the
national distribution of building
materials. Although the snow
load of a roof varies widely with
the climate. many performance
standards of construction are
basic everywhere.
Architects and engineers, with
test data available from the Ma
tional Bureau of Standards, the
Underwriters Laboratories and
other sources, can readily de-
sign houses to conform with the
new performance code.

By Dovid 6. Borenther

A big step toward cutting ou
some Of the unnecessary expense
involved in building a house has
been taken in New York State with
completion of a new uniform build
ing code.
Every home owner across the
country, who has been compelled
to pay for arbitrary structural de-
tails just because some antiquated
local ordinance called for them,
will be watching this new code as
1t begins to operate.
It's a very unusual measure. It
doesn't say in any place exactly
what material you have to use. It
merely tells the strength or other
protection required, and leaves the
door open for any tested material
that can do the job.
Therefore, it is known as a per
formance CODE" in contrast to a
specification code," which spec
ines types and sizes of materials
and freezes construction methods.
If, for example, a form of low
cost glass should be invented that
could do the job of steel girder
and prove it in tests, such a glass
girder would not be blackballed
under this code.
Big Trouble With Codes.
Not being permitted to use new
materials has been one of the big
troubles with building codes. The
National Association of Home
Builders has long complained that
"out-dated codes, requiring various
types OF construction and mate
rials, not only increase the cost of
most housing. but also result in a
great deal of material waste"
A recent statement from that
organization said:
What is permitted in one town
may be prohibited in the adjoin-
ing city. Many codes are obso-
lete. Some seem to be preserved
to protect entrenched interests of
one sort or another, are weighted

WASHINGTON PIPELINE

The army has lost all control over it's chief lobbyist on Capitol Hill, Brig. Gen. Robert Moore. He has so many friends in Congress that he ignores his bosses in the Pentagon and does as he pleases. When the army passed over his promotion, Moore's Congressional friends made him a general any how by writing it into the appro- priations bill. A bay window can be a political liability. So two Senators have gone on strict diets to get rid of them-Johnson Of Texas and Ives of New York. Each lost 25 pounds. z. Defense Mobilizer Charles Wilson and other govern ment bigwigs will act as faculty members for an institute on defense administration, beginning next week at American University. Senator Welker of Idaho caused ex-FBI man Downey Rice to turn down the job of chief investigator for the Senate committee to investigate crime in the nations capitol. Welker put Rice through a humiliating cross-examination and made it plain that he intended to bulldoze the committee. So Rice bowed out.

ball at San Francisco, Dean seemed tired at Ottawa. He addressed the foreign and finance ministers on the obvious fact that Russian foreign policy has not changed in several hundred years, that it continues one of aggression, and that Rus sia under the Kremlin, as under the Czar, is still struggling for warm-water ports.
 Acheson also dwelt on the equally obvious fact that trouble in the near and middle east-as Iran could vitally affect Europe.
 Another delegate read lugubrlous quotations from Lenin showing Rus sias passion for conquest-quota- tions which were well known and presumably of no great import to a group of world leaders gathered because they were already aware Of threatened Soviet aggression.
 The Portuguese delegate also conn., plained: "The one country which has stanchly and consistently fought Communism is not here. It should be seated beside us, carrying on this battle shoulder to shoulder. I refer of course to Spain"

BEVAN'S GHOST

Though he wasn't present, the chief shadow which hung over the conference was that of Aneurin Eevan, resigned British minister of Health, who left the labor gov- ernment because he claimed it was spending too much on armament and not enough on health benefits. The standard of living of the Brit ish people. he argued must not come down.
 Unquestionably majority of the foreign ministers at Ottawa agreed privately with ex-Minister Bevan. They didn't put it in exactly the same words, but they knew that their governments would fall if workers wages were further re- duced by inflation-and imitation

is increasing because of rearma- ment. They also knew that Com munism inside their countries would increase if they spent too much money on armies to resist Com- munism from the outside.
 This was the real problem at Ot- tawa-and it was ducked. It was ducked by appointing committee of twelve-"the twelve wise men they were called-to study the mat ter and report later.
 Meanwhile, most of Europe also ducks the problem of heavier taxa ton in the upper brackets and re- vamping of it's system of putting the chief tax burden on the masses. This remains one of the greatest breeders of Communism inside Eu- rope, but it was not discussed, even informally, at Ottawa.

sighed today.
Martha. ran away from a veri-
table mountain of money yester-
day after filing suit in San Fran

against Roland De Vigier, %, Swiss

In her suit, however, she asked
for $4,000 a month support.
The De Vigiers were married In
Paris three weeks ago after brief

Torrance wf1ile Mr.. De Vigier was
investigating a site for a new in

After a lavish honeymoon, the
DE Vigiers returned here and were
staying in an expensive hotel when
the bride walked out. She went
to San Francisco and filed the SUIT,
which relatives say probably will
be withdrawn because she is not of

Whether 1t will be refiled or not
remained an open question. Her

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 6.-Two ar

a case of dynamite in their car.
Mr.. Howard said the car was reg

man living in Miami Beach.
The arrests were made as the
price on the heads of the terrorists

The new Miami City Commits
sion offered a $4,000 reward yes
