Mayor Opposes Prefab Homes In City Battle
A city council meeting in Waukesha faces a clash over prefabricated houses as opponents push to ban them in Bel Air Park while backers led by Roy Smith argue the Pollman Home type remains a traditional, durable option. The ordinance has expired and a new building code with prefab sections looms, with two paths: extend the old rule or adopt the revised code.

FBI Chief Seeks More Agents to Combat Subversives
FBI Director J Edgar Hoover told Congress that growing stealth and deceit by subversives require more manpower and undercover work to prevent a domestic security breakdown. He urged against suppression and warned that without a national policy making clandestine activity unprofitable, attempts to outlaw subversive groups by law will fail. Hoover defended keeping undercover sources confidential, citing the Communist Leaders trial as proof the identity of informants must be protected. The 1948 annual report covers cases through June 30 1948, noting 415 convictions, 97.2 percent of defendants were convicted, 99.9 percent of those convicted were guilty. Total sentences reached 20 077 years 10 months 14 days with fines and recoveries totaling 55 936 030. Renegotiation claims favored by government reached 64 541 203 up 7 percent.
