Rental Housing
Seen on Rise

A rapid acceleration In
rental housing in the next
five years was predicted this
week by the Mortgage
Bankers Association Of
America.
MBA bases its forecast on
the fact that the age group
under Is years, which 1t says
win be increasing more rap
idly than any other, appar-
emily offers the poorest rela-
tive prospects for house sales.
MBA estimates that as
much as one-fifth Of total
housing unit production will
be in rental housing.
This young age group is
made up of couples in their
early married years with few
or no children. and Of many
single persons.
The number of households
with heads in the IS to A
years, which heretofore have
provided the great bulk of
the home buyers, can at best
have only a small increase,
and may not do much more
than remain stable, accord
ing to MBA's quarterly eco
nomic report.
However, since the rate Of
ownership is very high among
this group. "a very substan-
tial housing demand may still
be maintained on the grad
ing-up principle" according
to the report.
Evening star., 1961-02-11

The same considerations
will apply to the A to As age
group. which is increasing
moderately.
Although the group whose
family head is more than SIS
years old is expected to en-
joy a large increase. 1t also
has the highest ownership
ratio Of any group. as well
as a lower proportion Of the
home buyers.
Moreover" the report
states, many Of the new
buyers in this group will be
grading down to smaller and
less expensive houses-where
they choose these instead Of
apartments-than those pre-
viously occupied"
The MBA concludes that
more liberalization Of credit
and terms will have little if
any effect in stimulating
construction.

House Needs Hideowoy

nominees.
Paneling may be the favor
ite tongue-and-groove style
in fir or red cedar. Or
walls might feature some
thing strikingly different like
chanel paneling or boards
and battens that produce
eye-intriguing shadow lines
that change as the light
quality in the room changes.
Clear finishes that capture
the grain patterns and color
ing of wood paneling are the
favorites for a den, but q
lovely room can also result
from painting the paneling.
In this instance, the best bet
is to select a deep, restful
shade and to use a natural
finish on the ceiling If it is
open deck-and-beam. The
mellow wood shades should
then be repeated in furnish
ings and the carpet.
Space for Books
The den should have a
fireplace. If possible. and
there should be a wealth of
book shelving installed on
the walls to hold favorite
volumes and the latest peri
odicalS.

sic system might also be built

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (AP)-
The Nations gold outflow

Retail Trade
Drops6-10%
Due to Snow

NEW YORK, FEB. 10 (AP).
Snow storms in the Midwest
and Northeast belted retail
trade again in the week ended
Wednesday, Dun g. Bradstreet,
Inc, reported today.
Dollar volume fell 8 to 10
per cent below q year ago.
Hardest hit were sales Of
major appliances, floor cover
ing. draperieS. new and used
passengers cars and house
wares.
Less noticeable year-to-year
declines occurred in apparel.
linens and furniture.
Bun & Bradstreet said rising
unemployment in many areas
contributed to the decline.
Some stores reported good
results in sales Of women's cloth
coats. sweaters and skirts. Best
sellers among mems apparel
were overcoats, raincoats and
rubbers.
Food sales slipped moderately
from the previous week, espe-
cially dairy products, baked
goods and fresh produce.
Regional estimates Of dollar
volume varied from the COM
parable 1860 levels by these
percentages: New England,
minus Is to minus 20; Middle
Atlantic. minus IL to minus is:
East North Central, minus Z Ia

faithfully bring indoors the
noise Of a locomotive. The
destruction Of his exposed cleo
tronic gear by straying children
stimulated sales no end.
In short, the original Hi-Fi
buyer was a lobbyist in sounds.
AS one noted Hi-Fi fan, Sher-
man Adams, was quoted: Some
of us put more emphasis
on tweeters and woofers than
we do on Bach and Beethoven. "
Today all that is changing.
And the basic reason, dealers
say, can be summed up in a
word: Woman.
THE housewife who spends
IS cents of every dollar just
didn't want her husband lous-
ing up the living room with
radio gear" explains Mrs. Mar
got Phillips, one Of the shows
producers.
AS a result, visitors tonight
will find the speakers have
shrunken. Equipment hides dis
creetly behind cabinets, screens
and even walls. And many
women will be in the crowd of
$4,000 expected.
This drift away from the
raw, technical approach to mu-
sic apparently has helped sales,
since the product has lost much
OF its mystery for the layman.
In 1850, according to the In
stitute Of High Fidelity Manu-
facturers. retail sales of Hi-Fi
components totalled $12 mil
