industrial tie-up. Dealings quick
ened at intervals with volume
reaching 100000 shares. Steels, mo-
tors, rubbers, rails and chemicals
retreated. Johns -Manville was an
exception, rising 3 points on a s.
for-1 stock split-up proposal. A
higher dividend attached a frac-
tional advance to Public Service Of
New Jersey.
Trends were notably mixed Thurs
day on 100000 shares, best of the
week Forenoon declines were re-
duced in the majority of instances
or converted into plus marks when
the airlines staged a comeback.
United Air Lines, Eastern Air Lines,
Douglas Aircraft and Sperry were
well in front. Johns -Manville
added 31z points to its upswing of
the preceding session.
Fridays aggregate Of 100000 was
the smallest for a full session since
January %. Thin blue chips" dis
played strength and gamers appear
ed in virtually all departments. The
average advance off 3 of point was
the widest of the week. Buying was
credited mainly to the thought that
the recent decline had put the mar
ket in a much healthier technical
shape. International Harvester en-
joyed a substantial advance on an
increased dividend.

SIow-Going Upswing
Finishes Irregular
Week on Exchange
By the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The stock
market finished another irregular
holiday week with a slow-going rally
In the final session.
The Nations principal securities
and comodity exchanges suspended
as usual today for the celebration OF
Washington's birthday.
throughout the short week eau
ton was the watchword in board
rooms due mainly to the fact that,
while individual favorites respond
ed moderately to dividend boosts
and pleasing earnings statements,
the list as a whole was notably in
different. Operations were mostly
professional, the public still main
tanning an off side attitude pending
developments at home and abroad.
Foreign affairs, particularly the
British economic situation, inspired
selling because of apprehension over
possible domestic repercussions.
Some clients held aloof to await tax
legislation and other congressional
moves.
Volume Lowest Since FAN.
The Associated Press 60-stock
composite was off i Of a point at
67.9 on the week. The f1ve-day
volume of 4,578, $50 shares was low
for a similar period since the con-
cluding week In November.
The market edged up 2 Of point
Monday on 10000 shares and
erased this advance Tuesday on the
same turnover, both Of which were
the smallest since January % for
full sessions. Postponement by the
Supreme Court Of a John L. Lewis
decision apparently brought late
Monday recovery. Increased quar-
terlies' lifted Du Pont and Youngs-
town Sheet while record net and
sales buoyed Goodyear.
Although declines outnumbered
gains Tuesday, there were assorted
strong spots. Eastman Kodak and
Philco climbed following dividend
aoists. Pacific Mills jumped points
on a big earnings expansion. Re-
public Steel was up only y of a
point in the wake of the company's
first extra dividend in several years.

Home Ownership
Called Symbol Of
u. ). Democracy
By Ernest +. Henry

Former Executive Director, Home sviIdsrs'
Association Of MstraoeIton Washington
Home ownership Is the badge Of
independence, the symbol of land
Of free people, the very heart Of the
American way of life.
Our pioneer and revolutionary an
cestors paid dearly for the right to
build, own and preserve this domi-
nant feature Of democracy.
The natural urge to own a home
has many social and economic ad-
vantages. Our system of govern
ment. our Federal and State consti-
tutions. our civil and criminal laws
and our Bill Of Rights are based on
the private ownership of property
in general.
The restraints against search and
seizure are recognition of the sane
tity of the home. While all citizens
now enjoy equal right under the laws
of the land, it is the home and prop
erty owner who has the greatest in
centive to protect and preserve these
rights.
In addition to being fundamental
feature of American life, home
ownership has incidental advantages
which should not be overlooked. The
right to vote, to serve on juries, to =.
hold elective and appointive office,
to serve on boards and commissions
and other valuable privileges origi-
nally were reserved exclusively to
property owners.
The deep satisfaction of being a
vital part of the community, of
achieving security, and of having q
safe refuge for your cherished pos
sessions Is ample reward for the
sacrifices endured in the early years
of ownership.
You will discover that it costs no
more to buy and own the home you
live in than it does to pay enough
rent to somebody else so he can
own 1t.

All units also have active civic
organizations and trade bodies. The
county civic federations coordinate
their efforts with those of the Dis
trict through the 1nter-federation
Conference.
The one great difference between
living inside and outside the Dis
trict line is that outside you have the
right to vote, and, except for those
barred by the Hatch Act, the right
to run for town, county, State or

100000 residents, according to Will
liam A. Carson. chairman of the
Board OF County Commissioners.
Population estimates for Prince
Georges, Montgomery and Fairfax
include territory outside the Metro
politan area.
Prince Georges has many Gov
ernment agencies within its 486
square miles.
They include the Census Bureau
and photographic Office at Suitland;
Agriculture Departments plant and
livestock research centers at Belts
vile, and the Patuxent Wildlife
Research Refuge at Bowie. The
Naval Ordnance laboratory is partly
in Prince Georges. -
The University of Maryland at
College Park is one of the county's
greatest assets, while not far away
Is another Prince Georges claim to
distinction-the Government-spon-
sored town of Greenbelt.
Known for Tobacco Plants.
Prince Georges also is widely
known for the tobacco markets at
Upper Marlboro and the race
tracks at Marlboro and Bowie.
Like Montgomery, it is governed
by board of county commission
ers and maintains a county build
ing for its suburban residents at
Hyattsville. 1t has IS Incorporated
towns, some Of which have attained
the status OF cities. The largest
are Hyattsville. College Park and
Mount Rainier.
Other incorporated towns are Ber-
wyn Heights, Bladensburg, Bowie,
Brentwood, Capitol Heights, Chew
erly, Colmar Manor, Cottage City,
District Heights, Edmonston. Fair
mount Heights, Glenarden, Green
belt, Landover Hills, Laurel, North
Brentwood, Riverdale, Seat Pleas
ant, Takoma Park (partly in Mont
gomery), University Park and Upper
Marlboro. One incorporated COM
munity, Eagle Harbor, no longer
functions as q town.
The county also has 81 special
improvement districts, in which
residents of unincorporated areas
may petition the county commits
sioners for street and utility i'm
provements and pay for them over
q period Of years.
Along with Montgomery, Prince
Georges is developing an attractive
system of parkways and recreation |
areas. -
Dual Citizenship.
Most wage earners of the Metro
politan Area work in Washington.
Most families patronize Washing
ton stores, theaters, doctors, hos
pitfalls and other institutions, as well |
as those in their own communities
Thus they become conscious of a
sort of dual citizenship, affected
alike by what Washington and their
home communities do in regard to
taxes, schools, public health, police
and fire protection.
All units of the Metropolitan Area 4

with zoning and the orderly devel-
opment of their communities. In

Washington Memorial highway and
Shirley Memorial highway, in Fair
fax and Arlington Counties, and the
new twin bridges across the Poto-
mac.
New highways. new Government
agencies, new home and apartment
construction, all point to further and
better growth in the metropolitan
area. The most important factor
indicating that the growth will be
greater in the suburbs, however, is
that Washington is nearer its pop
