District Judges Timothy Hogan and David Porter nonetheless are scheduled to continue on the bench in 1986. If they don't work, they'll still draw full pay and won't have to pay $3,000 Social Security tax. The same is true for five senior Jurists on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit in Cincinnati in what one of them, Judge John Weld Feck, called "this whole miserable mess."

Most metropolitan areas are closing city YMCA buildings and relo-1 eating in the suburbs. Low-Income families ought to -have the same advantages as ev- eryone else, he said. The success of the suburban YMCAs has enabled inner-city families to have one, he said.

"Cincinnati is going against the grain," Edmlston said. The new building has a basketball court, exercise room, game room, theatrical stage and several multipurpose rooms. Interior decor is ceramic tiled floors, wood paneling and ceiling fans. Board members are so committed to maintaining an inner-city that membership fees will be minimal, Edmlston said.
