Representative Mcdowell. Re-
publican, OF Pennsylvania, said
today he has not been able to find
any fascism or Fascists in this
country worth investigating.
As chairman of q House Un-
American Activities Subcommittee
on F'ascism, Mr.. Mcdowell has been
on the hunt for six months. But he
told reporters he has not uncovered
a single threat that would war
rant a full-dress inquiry.
I'VE found evidence of a lot of
intolerance in this country he
said. There are Jew haters and
those who don't like colored people.
But there is no evidence of any
organized, active fascism.
ITO get somewhere, the Fascists
would have to have an organization
with money behind 1t. and they
don't have it"
Communists have been the main
target of the Un-American Activi-
ties Committee. But at one point
Mr.. Mcdowell invited the Com
munists to help him expose Fascists,
since the Reds frequently raise cries
of fascism.
Mr.. Mcdowell said his subcom-
mittee has investigated every lead
it could get from any source. He
said he thinks the subcommittee
should keep on. But so far, he
added, the checking has turned up
nothing to indicate that fascism
is any menace to America.
What there is, he said, seems to
be one-man affairs involving a
racket carried on from a mail box >
Mr.. Mcdowell said there are hate
sheets" throughout the country but
he found they have insignificant
circulations and would like to be in

Chicago Publishers !.
Accuse |TU MaiIers oI
Concerted Showdown
BY the A.seeiotsd Press

A publishers spokesman said
yesterday that evidences of q "con-
certed showdown" by union mailers
had been reported by some Chicago
newspapers, already beset by a
printers strike.
First Monday editions Of the
Chicago Tribune and the Chicago
Sun, however, appeared on news
stands at the regular time.
In Detroit, notices OF intent to
strike against the morning Free
Press and the afternoon Times have
been filed with the State Labor
Mediation Board in behalf of both
printers and mailers by q local OF
the AFL International Topographic
cal Union. A chapel meeting Of the
Detroit Mailers Union, local 40, de-
layed, the first Monday editions Of
the Free Press.
Strike Started Last Monday.
In Chicago, printers local No. 16,
ITU, has been on strike since last
Monday night against the six
Chicago dailies-the Tribune, Sun,
Herald american, Times, Daily
News and Journal of Commerce.
But all six papers have continued
publishing by means of typewriter
copy reproduced by photo-en-
craving process and with the aid of
some 81 other AFL craft unionists,
including the ITU mailers.
John F. O'Keefe, secretary of the
Chicago Newspaper Publishers As
sociation, said he had written Chi
cago Mailers' Union No. 2:
Some of our publisher members
report recent incidents indicating a
tendency toward a concerted slow
down by your unions in their mail
rooms.
There have also been refusals to
work contractual overtime when
requested. The contractual duty OF
your union to prevent slowdowns
and to arrange for overtime work
in accordance with past practice Is
very clear.
I'VE trust that we may continue
to rely upon the full observance of
that contract by Chicago Mailers'
Union No. 2, and that 1t will not be
necessary for us to resort to disci-
plinary measures or to take legal
action against your union to protect
our rights"
Mr.. OKeefe said the mailers' con-
tract with the publishers expires
next January g. The printers, whose
contract expired last October II,
voted the current strike after the
publishers rejected their demands
for an immediate wage increase
pending further negotiation on other
issues.
Willing to Negotiate.
The Chicago publishers said they
were willing to negotiate wages
within the framework Of con-
tract but that the union had = no
contract policy.
The printers asked weekly raises
Of from $1450 to SIS for the same
work week which ranges. from 80
to 36A hours. The old scale ranged
from $85 so to SOL.
Mr.. OKeefe said he also had
notified ITU officials that the pub
fishers had withdrawn q previous
offer to make any negotiated raises
to the printers retroactive.
Neither printers or mailers' union
officials could be reached immedi-
ately for comment on Mr.. O'Keefe's 5
statements.
Editions of the Detroit News as
well as the Free Press and Times
have. been delayed intermittently
recently by what management has
referred to as union meetings and
slowdoWns. Il

6. N. Chief Sees Cars
A Lille Different
And So Higher in '48|
By the Associoied Press

DETROIT, Oct. 24.7Next years
automobiles are going to be little
different, starting about February
or March," and they may cost up
to 5 per cent more, according to
c. E. Wilson, president of General
Motors Corp.
Host at dinner to managing edi-
tors of Associated Press newspapers
in session here, the General Motors
chief undertook to answer questions
from several hundred editors last
night.
The questioning brought out Mr..
wilson's estimate that prices next
year would range from mo increase
to 5 per cent higher than present
levels" Mr.. Wilson had been quoted
recently as saying higher prices ap-
peared certain for 1948 models.
Production Increase Seen.
Predicting that output in the
United States and Canada this year
will total about 100000 trucks and
$4,000 passengers cars, the Cen
eral Motors president said he looked
for a production increase in 1948-
about 10 per cent above the indi-
Gated output for this year.
He said this estimate would de-
pend on the assumption that there
would be no stoppage of coal or
steel supplies and that the Mar
shall plan does not take too much
steel from industry.
Mr.. Wilson also was asked how
long he believed the Nations car
industry would require to catch up
with untitled demand and when
General Motors planned to intro
duce the new Kettering high-com-
preston engine.
Expects Engine in Two Years.
II think it will be two or three
years yet before we have worked
out the pent-up demand created
by the war for passenger automo-
biles," he declared and added that
the new car engine designed by
Charles F. Kettering may appear
within two years.
