Explicitly set the Read Permission to Allow for the files you want read
only access to (the already existing ones). Go to the Advanced Security
Settings dialog for those files and uncheck the "Allow inheritable
permissions from the parent to propogte this object..." option. Set the
permissions on the folder level as you want the newly created files to
inherit.
