%X The polarization properties of quasars, radio galaxies, and unidentified objects at 11 and 20 cm wavelength are discussed and compared with other source characteristics. For some quasars, scintillation and spectral data are in accord with current ideas that the sources comprise a small component radiating only at high frequencies and a larger component with a radiation spectrum similar to radio galaxies. The polarization is associated with this second component. For radio galaxies, the lower polarization of scintillators and a decrease of luminosity with increasing polarization suggest that sources of high brightness have low polarization. In spectral and polarization characteristics, the unidentified sources are similar to radio galaxies. Source evolution is discussed; the results suggest that quasars and radio galaxies evolve separately rather than represent different stages of a single evolutionary sequence.
