To Recommend
Prosecutions
WASHINGTON, Sept 21 - (P)
Rep. McDowell (R-Pa) of, the
house un-American activities com
mittee said today he is prepared to
recommend prosecution of three
persons on charges that they spied
n wartime.
He said that enough evidence
to warrant their prosecution has
been obtained by the committee
In three months of secret hear
ings, many of which were held
at night.
He did not name the three. A
subcommittee of which McDow
ell is the acting chairman has
questioned scores of witnesses,
many of whom, he emphasized,
were not themselves suspect.- His
group was running down reports
of attempts to obtain atomic se
crets for a foreign nation.
McDowell told reporters he Is
sure the committee has much
more information on the cases
than the lustice deoartment has
In its files. When his subcommit
tee reports to the full committee,
be said, he will recommend that
the information gathered on the
three persons be turned over to
the justice department for pre
sentation to a federal grand jury.

Farm Record
WILMINGTON, Delv Sept. 21
(AV-Senator Alben W, Barkley,
democratic vice presidential nom
inee, opened a nationwide speak
ing tour today with three Dela
ware speeches in which he stressed
democratic farm record.
Despite bad weather . which
drove him Indoors at first speech
in Georgetown, the seventy year
old party "wheelhorse" was greet
ed by large crowds in this re
publican agricultural state.
"It has been the democratic
party that has initiated 1 practic
ally all the legislation in the his
tory of United States for the bene
fit of farmers and agriculture,
Barkley told an estimated 400
cheering listeners at Georgetown
in heart of Delaware poultry sec
tion. Democratic administrations, he
said, started major farm programs
such as rural electrification and
oil conservation and kept them
alive despite republican apathy.
Recalling Governor Dewey's
promise to maintain price sup
ports for agriculture Berkley said:
Well, isn't that wonderful but
who started that? We are glad
to welcome the .new candidate for
E resident on the republican ticket
ito the democratic party.
Under republican direction
Barkley said the last congress en
acted a law continuing price sup
port program for another year
and then let supports .drop to 60
per cent of parity.

Home Owners'
Ranks Rising,
Survey Shows
WASHINGTON. Sept. 21 -UPV-
Despite the clamor over housing,
more American families own their
homes now than ever in history,
federal reserve board survey
showed today.
About 49 per cent of the na
tion's non-farm families owned
their homes at the beginning of
the year. That meant 18,500,000
city and town families all togeth
er. The survey did not take up farm
families. The proportion of home
owners among such families tra
ditionally has been much higher
than among city-dwellers.
The number of "home owners,"
of course, included those still pay
ing ontheir homes. There was no
data on how many have debt-free
homes.
Some living Free
The survey showed about 45 per
cent of non-farm families a
total approximating 17,000,000
were renting their living quarters
as 1948 began. The remainder
about 2,000,000 were living
rent free with somebody else.
Noting the record proportion of
home owners, the reserve board
observed that many had become
owners rather unwillingly.
The acute shortage of rental
units has no doubt forced many
families to buy homes, often at
inflated prices and somewhat be
yond their means, simply in order
to obtain shelter," the report said.
Ownership May Drop
It also said that today's unpre
cedented swing to home owner
ship may not be permanent that
is, the number of owners is like
ly to drop away if there is an
economia slump.
The reserve board's report
showed home ownership was
greater in the higher income
brackets than the lower ones, but
even among families with incomes
