attic space is amply ventilated

able, almost no matter how much
insulation is used.

16-penny nails.
End studs or corner posts are
then raised from the sole, through
holes cut in the roof, and nailed
Squarely upright to the doubled

raised, except where window
openings will occur, and they are
nailed with Sd nails to existing

Before cutting any of the old

to drive the old nails through with

Attic Conversion Provide Light, Ventilation
By Daxid G. Rarenfher

one OF the biggest problems in
converting a storage attic into
living space is the provision of
adequate light and ventilation. If
a house is small and only one or
two additional rooms are to be
created with stairway more or
less centrally located, double win
dows at each end Of the house
may suffice. In this case the
Istairwell would be artificially
lighted. Cross ventilation could
only be obtained by leaving the
doors Of each room open.
However, that is a bare mini
mum alteration. When attic fin
Iishing contemplates the addition
of an upstairs bath and a center
hall. more windows are necessary.
With a pitched roof, these win
dows can only be provided by
building out dormers.
Modern houses built with ex-
Ipansion attics usually have dor
mer windows already constructed.
Whether you have enough of
them is another matter, since
dormerS are relatively expensive
Ito build. They involve painstak-
ing framing, meticulous carpentry
and careful flashing to keep them
weathertight.
The two general types of dor
mer windows are the gabled and
the shed styles. Gabled dormers
usually look the best on the front
of a cottage and involve less risk
in altering the design of the IA
cade. But being comparatively
narrow inside, they provide only
enough headroom for reaching
the window.
A shed dormer, on the other
hand, can be almost as wide as
the house and literally raises the
roof, adding considerable head
room to the interior. It is easier
to build and can provide as many
windows as you want to squeeze
in.
Shed dormers are usually built
on the back of a house, because
in front they tend to change the
entire appearance Of a facade and
can turn q cottage into q two
story house. Front shed dormers
can be most successfully built
with an architects guidance to
produce a unified design. In such
cases wide shed dormers both
front and back have transformed
small houses into good sized
dwellings.
The widest shed dormers are
usually started about 2 feet in
from the rakes Of the roof and
about equal distance or more up
from the caves. This tends to hide
q rear shed dormer from street
view, maintains the original
roof line at the gable ends and
provides a low knee wall under
the windows.
Framing for this type of roof
lifting involves a doubling of end
rafters-that is, the first rafter in
from each end of the main roof.
A new sole plate to support the
framing studs of the dormer's
front wall is then laid out on the
attic floor along a chalkline where
the new knee wall will rise. This
sole is carefully measured off and
marked every Is inches on centers

Foreclosure Ban frightened
For Those in j. 5. Forces

President Truman yesterday
signed a bill tightening the law
forbidding the foreclosure of mort
cages Of men and women unable
to pay their debts because they are
serving in the armed forces.
The measure subjects to fine
and imprisonment an agent who
actually seizes or forecloses on
property. as well as those who in
duce him to do it. Under prior
law the penalties applied only to
those who ordered some one else
to make the seizure. The new
statute amends the Soldiers and
sailors Relief Act to impose pen
|alties up to $1,000 fine and a year
lin Jail or both.
The House Veterans Committee
said it recommended the frightened
law because Of the acquittal of two
|agents for a finance company who
seized a serviceman's automobile
for the finance company. The
company was fined, but the agents
went free under the old law.

|Ex-SoIdier Held Here
Charged With Attack
On Mother Of Three

A 22-year-old ex-soldier today

grand jury action on charges OF

three.
Municipal Court Judge Andrew

a preliminary hearing late yes

The slim, blond mother testi-
fled she was assaulted early Sun
day in her third-f1oor apartment
in the 1400 block of Fifteenth
street NV. She said she fell
asleep on a couch Saturday night
and awoke to find Raper beside
her.
Raper struck her in the nose
once. she said, and threatened to
hit her again, if she resisted his
advances. The attack lasted for
nearly two hours, she related.
while her two younger children
were asleep in another room. A
17-year- old daughter was out on a
date.
She said she called police after
her assailant fell asleep. Police
found him still in the bed when
they responded to the call.
The woman, who said she had
been separated from her husband
for two years. testified she had
never seen Raper before.
Precinct Detective Robert D
Weaver said Raper told him he
didn't remember anything about
going to the woman's apartment
or assaulting her. He said Raper
recently had been given a bad
conduct discharge from the Army
and stopped in Washington on the
way home. He said Raper told
him the last thing he remembered
was having a beer in a downtown
tavern on Saturday night.
Defense Attorney Edward T.
Kehoe brought out that Raper
had told the officer he suffered
a head injury while serving in
Germany in 1949, and had
"blacked out" on occasion since
then, but not recently.

Officials Study Report
That Tip on baltimore
Was Fabricated
By Gornett D. Homer

The Government now is in
VeStigating a report that its
original tip that Owen baltimore
was arranging a trip behind the
iron curtain was fabricated.
officials said the Investigation
still aimed primarily at determin-
ing whether Mr.. baltimore
planned such travel in violation of
passport regulations - probably
will not be completed before the
end Of this week.
The Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation is understood to have re-
ported to the State Department
over the week end that the source
Of the allegation against Mr.. Lat
tlmore now admits it was untrue.
The allegation was reported to
have been made in the first place
to the Central Intelligence Agency
by a paid informant.
Officials of the State Depart
ment and the two intelligence
agencies refused to discuss any
details of the matter-not even
admitting just how the FBI and
CIA are involved. An FBI spokes-
man said statement might be
made later today.
Charge Knocked Down.
1t was learned. however, that
the State Department has re-
ceived information knocking down
the charge which caused it early
this month to ask customs officials
to prevent Mr.. baltimore from
leaving the country.
This information was described
as marking merely a preliminary
step in the investigation. It is
should prove to be correct, the
Government still would want to
know why the charge was fabri-
Gated in the first place. Posi-
bility Of action against the in
formant now reported changing
his story was limited.
The State Department disclosed
last Friday night that it had asked
Customs on June 3 to make sure
Mr.. baltimore did not leave the
country pending investigation of
an allegation" coming through
another Government agency that
the Johns Hopkins University
professor was arranging travel to
Russia or her satellites. Such
travel now is banned for all Amer
leans without special State De-
partment authority.
Mr.. baltimore denies that he
planned any such trip. He said in
Baltimore that he had tentative
ly considered going to India to
teach for a year and had thought
about a trip to Europe but that
his thinking had not gone be-
yond England"
Target Of Mccarthy.
Mr.. baltimore long has been a
target Of prot Communist charges
by Senator Mccarthy, Republican
of Wisconsin-charges which he
has denied several times before
Senate committees.
Carlisle H. Humelsine, Deputy
Undersecretary of State for ad-
ministration. said he was not in
position to either confirm or deny
the report that the allegation
about Mr.. Lattimore's travel plans
had turned out to be untrue. He
emphasized that the investigation
is not completed.
Other Government officials sum-
married. the situation this way:
The original report that Mr..
baltimore was arranging travel
behind the iron curtain was
so specific and came from
such a source that it ap-
peared to be hard" information.
Then a preliminary step in the
investigation turns up information
exactly the opposite. In such a
spot, the department wants to
make absolutely certain which in
formation is correct before it says
anything more officially.
