I would suggest to you,
with regard to your grand
mother, that you investigate
to see whether her sight is
sufficiently lost to qualify
her for the talking books for
the blind. My father, now 81
years old, started using them
several years ago, has had
over 400 books, and has spent
many enjoyable hours listen
ing to them read to him.
Books on all subjects are
available, and will be mailed

Now I have a question: I
like to keep sharp cheese on
hand at all times, and use it
frequently. I have tried many
methods to keep it from
molding, but always have to
throw some away from time
to time, due to spoilage. Hav-
ing tried foil, jars and other
wraps, I would like to know
if anyone has a solution for
storing this cheese success
fully.

Big Rise Seen
|nAuto0utput
By the Associated Press

The Commerce Department
forecast today an increase of
II to "a per cent in United
States automobile production
next year.
The departments Business
and Defense Services Admin
lstration said at least | mil
lion more cars are expected to
be built in 1862 than in 1861.
1t predicted total production
next year in the range from
ga to So million. This COM
pares with scheduled 1861 pro-
ductlon of 5.5 million, a drop
OF 17.6 per cent from the 1860
figure of 6,675,796 The record
year was 1855 when 100000
million cars were produced.
The auto industry is the
largest single industrial user
of steel, glass, rubber and up
holstery feathers. 1t also is a
major user of copper and alu-
minum.
Some Detroit industry
sources have predicted next
years production at 7 million
to 70 million cars. The Ma
tional Automobile Dealers As
sociation, whose members sell
the cars, is estimating 1862
sales in the area of 81 mil
lion cars, including imports.
The Business and Defense
Services Administration said
this years production, lowest
since 1858, was adversely af-
fected by the general economic
decline, severe weather condi-
tions during the first quarter
of the year in many parts of
the country, and strikes that
occurred during the labor con-
tract negotiations.

Murder Case
Bond Is Set
At 100000

Bond for a 19-year-old mur-
der suspect has been set at
100000 in response to his at
torney's complaint that the
man has been in Jail for, one
week without bond.
Municipal Court Judge Cath
crime B. Kelly set the figure
yesterday for William L. Alex
ander. alias Al Capone, a hotel
steward of the 1000 block of d
street NE.
Today he was still in jail,
unable to make the bond.
1t was an unusual move in
view of the amount of the
bond, the fact that bond sell
dom is set in capital cases and
the fact that the coroner'S jury
is scheduled to hear its third
day of Testimony in the case on
Tuesday.
Evening star., 1961-12-15
First Degree Charge

Alexander is charged with
first degree murder and carry
ing a concealed weapon in the
fatal shooting of another man
December 7 in a Fourteenth
street cocktail lounge.
Police said the shooting fol-
lower an argument over a place
to sit among Alexander, other
customers and the dead man,
James T. Smith, %, OF the 1900
block of Corcoran street NV.
When a preliminary hearing
scheduled for yesterday was
continued to Wednesday, How
ard D. Levine. AleXander's at
torney. asked that bond be set
SO the man could rejoin his
family and fiancee.
The lawyer suggested $4,000
or $500 but Assistant United
States Attorney William C.
Weltzel, jr., proposed 100000,
which the judge granted. Mr..
Levine protested this was tan
tamount to no bond at all" and
said Alexander could not meet
the sum.
Evening star., 1961-12-15
In Larceny Case

Mr.. Weltzel said Alexander
was on bond in a gran&larceny
case before the shooting and the
high bond was necessary, in
part, to protect the citizenry."
Mr.. Levine said Alexander
will ask to have an arrest war
rant issued for a Government
witness in the case who ad-
mltted to the coroner's jury
that he slashed Alexander Just
after the shooting. The United
States Attorneys office refused
to hear the complaint yester-
day, saying it was a matter for
the grand jury.
Another defendant in the
case, John N. Posey, 10. of the
400 block of Fourth street Sc,
was continued in bond of $500
for preliminary hearing.
Wednesday on charges of ac-
cessory after the fact to first
degree murder and carrying a
concealed weapon.

Nation TOPS
Home Owner
Rate in Area

The Washington area is well
below the national average in
terms of home ownership, the
Census Bureau reported today.
The bureau said 48 per cent
of the families in the Washing
ton metropolitan area owned
their own homes in 1860 COM
pared to 81 per cent for the
Nation as whole.
Altogether there are 592,223
dwelling units in the area, of
which 289,098, are owner oc-
cupied. Whites own 244,543
homes-or 80 per cent of the
total-and non-whites, princi-
pally Negro-44,555 or 20 per
cent.
FiftS-three per cent of all
white families in the Washing
ton area own their homes, while
35 per cent of the non-whites
do.
In the District, as might be
expected in an urban area, only
20 per cent of the families own
their homes. The majority of
people live in rental apart
mentS.
The majority of home owners
in the District is white-39,532
to 36,042-even though 53.9 per
cent of the population is Negro.
The 62 per cent national
level of home ownership is the
highest since 1890 when the
first such study was made. At
that time. only 47.8 per cent
owned their own homes.
From 1890 to 1910, the per-
centage of homes that were
owner occupied kept dropping,
until it fell to its lowest mark
of 43.6 in 1910. In 1850, how
ever, the census report showed
a tremendous jump to SIS per
cent, and last year, the ratio
kept growing.
This increase has included all
elements in the population, al
though the whites have gen.
orally shown the lead. In 1860,
64.4 per cent of all white fami-
lies owned their own homes,
compared to only 1873 per cent
of non-WhiteS.
The non-white figure, how
ever, is a 100 per cent increase
from 1890 when 19 per cent
owned their homes, as against
Sis per cent whites.
