81 Act Spurs Building
Of Housing for Elderly

for a specific number Of units,
the authorizing of Federal sub
sides for rent in housing for
the elderly has spurred con-
struction, Mrs. MCGUIRE said.
The PHA can pay local au-
thorities up to $40 per unit each
month to subsidize lower rents.
In the past, Mrs. MCGUIRE said,
elderly persons with low incomes
often could not afford the rents
which housing authorities had
to charge in order to meet their
costs. Twelve authorities have
applied for rental subsidies to
date.
Another spur, Mrs. MCGUIRE
said. was the raising Of the
limit on the per-room construc-
tion cost by $500 on housing
for the elderly.
uHuS LeIL OVeI
Finally, the act released the
entire $79 million in authorized
but unSpent funds for all types
of public housing that was left
over from previous housing leg
islation. Before the 1861 act,
the PHA was limited by Con-
gress to building of a specific
number of units.
The $40 million is the re-
mainder unspent of 1886 million
authorized in the 1949 Housing
Act, the C o m m missioner ex-
planned. Instead of authorizing
a specific number of units, the
last Congress authorized the ex-
penditure of the remaining
authorization.
The sum is enough to build
an estimated 100000 public

Also Discovered

EL1SABETHVILLE, Katanga,
Dec. % (AP). - The body Of
Georges Olivet, Swiss chief in
ternational Red Cross delegate
in Katanga, was found today in
a shallow grave near Camp
Simonet in Elisabethville. The
bodies of two of his assistantS
"a Dutchman and a Belgian
woman-also were found.
Both United Nations and Ka-
tanga authorities claimed dur
ing the last week that they
were unaware of the where
abouts of the three.
Katanga officials claimed
three days ago the three were
shot by Ethiopian troops who
had been fighting in the area
near Camp Simonet.
Asks U. N. Investigation
A hospital official who found
the bodies called for a U. N.
investigation.
The names Of Mr.. Olivet,s
two assistants were given as
ambulance driver Nine. Nicole
Vroomen, a Belgian, and S. S.
Shedding, a Dutch citizen.
A U. N. spokesman said the
ambulance obviously was hit by
bazooka and machine gun fire
in the fighting between Ka-
tangan and U. N. forces.
Il do not know how it came
to be there" he said. The
bodies were in a ditch nearby
and had been loosely covered
with earth and scrub"
Mr.. Olivet and the two set
out for headquarters Of U. NJ
forces on the eastern outskirts
OF EliSabethville December 13.
They never were seen again.
Mr.. Olivet was trying to obtain
a cease-fire in order to bring
out civilians trapped by fight
ing in the center Of the city.

ville's Queen Elisabeth Hospital,

and handed them the following
statement:

area had been found near the

to the area and saw George
Olivet's ambulance still smould-

More snow tonight and on
Christmas Eve morning also is
likely unless the borderline
temperatures bring the precipi-
tation down in the form Of
freezing rain. The forecaster
said it could go either way.
The forecaster's indecision is
based on the fact that two-low

that already has lashed the
Midwest and a leSS-turbulent

Some snow is virtually cer-

come one of a chill rain. The

Nearly one-half of President
Kennedy's announced goal of
$4,000 additional public hous-
ing units for the elderly is
about to become a reality.
More than $50 units will be
located in the District. They
will be the first in the city to
be built with special features
for the elderly, although they
will be suitable for other ten
ants, too.
Marie c. MCGUIRE, Public

missioner reports that 1882
units, enough to house $4,000
elderly persons, are included in
projects for which local author
tiles have applied for federal
construction aid and, in some
cases, for newly authorized rem
tai subsidies.
OF the total, 1888 are under
construction; 1895 will be un-
der construction by next June
30; 1887 will be ready to be let
out for contract bids by next
June 80 and AIT applications
are still being processed by the

Commissioner MCGUIRE esti-
mated that most of these units
would be ready for occupancy

very tight schedule to be in
attendance. His honor, Judge

The Municipal League Conven-

where the punishment does not
exceed $1,000 fine and i'm

for one year.
H.B. No. sos deals with Driv-
ing Under the Influence. The
penalty runs as follows: For the
first offense: Imprisonment in
the County Jail for from days
to one pear, or a fine of from
$500 to $1,000 or both. For the
second offense within 5 years.
the penalty is: Imprisonment
from 80 days to one year in the
County Jail, or a fine of not
more than$1 600. This law went
into effect August 10, 1861. On
receiving this information I was
reminded of the fines and pen
alties assessed by our judge and
the cries of how severe and
steep the fines imposed. How
does his fines compare with
