Refusal to allow Negroes to use

Randolph Myers, secretary of
the general board Of the Metro
politan Y. M. C. A., acknowl-
edged that such practices exist in
the central branch.
Mr.. Weber said repeated efforts
had been made over the last
eight months to have the "Y"
change its policy but all had
failed. He said the General Branch
was the only "Y" in the city
with any remaining color bar
riers.
Mr.. Myers countered that the
Central Branch had been deseg-
regating "step by STEP" but he
refused to speculate how long it
might take to wipe out remaining
discrimination.
Mr.. Foy termed the situation
"the last stubborn spot of school
segregation in Washington"
Mr.. Weber said the pickets
had met with Eat least a little"
initial success. An unidentified
roomer at the "Y" read the signs,
then told Mr.. Weber he would
check out of the Central Branch.
Mr.. Weber moved out of the
Central "Y" several months ago in
protest. Though white, he now lives
at predominantly Negro branch.

House Roof
Con Seem
To Float

An object as heavy Is the
house roof isn't likely 10 stay
suspended in mid-air Of its
own accord. Nonetheless.
there are some model homes
with large roofs that actually
seem TO float.
Responsible for the float
ing look" is q roof structure
so self-sufiicient that It re-
quires vertical support at
only q few points. Many ar
chitects and builders regard
the device as q magic car
pet" that win convey them
to lower costs In residential
construction.
The structure Of the float
ing roof" Is engineered 50
that its wood members sup
port and sustain each other.
Roof loads are conveyed
throughout this eficient net
work Of lumber TO vertical
columns which are the sole
ground support. As q result,
wall framing and room par
titioning are substantially
simplified. with equally sub.
stantiaf savings In overall
design and construction costs.
This Is in contrast to the
average house whose roof
has vertical support at hum
dreds Of different points. The
fact that the simplifled
: framing can be achieved
without sacrifice Of strength
or structural integrity re-
fleets considerable ingenuity
by the designers In exploiting
woods strength-per-pound
factor.
For its weight. wood is
actually stronger than steel.
lumbermen say. Proper sea-
soning nearly doubles the
natural strength Of lumber
and assures size stability and
uniformity essential to engi-
neered design.
These quality requirements
enhance the simpliflcation Of
wall and partition structures,
which also are built Of lum-
Der. The bonus" strength
values enable builders to
space members wide apart
with what lumber producers
contend Is complete security.
