Thomas Alters Stand i,
Says He Will Accept
Socialist Nomination
By the Associofed Press

READING, Pa, May 8.-Normar
Thomas reluctantly agreed today tt
accept should the Socialist Party
tender him a sixth nomination fol
the presidency.
The veteran Socialist leader ha.
campaigned as his party's nominee
in five elections beginning in 1928
The decision assured his nomination
tomorrow at the 26th annual cor.
ventiop.
Mr.. Thomas said he was reversing
a previous decision not to run be.
cause 1T is imperative that the
party should nominate one who Is
already well known by the public"
Never was Democratic Social
list program more necessary for the
freedom, peace and prosperity OF
America and mankind" he said.
But instead of the new party
movement for which we Socialists
had hoped and worked We are con-
fronted with the Wallace -Commun-
ist alliance.
"On some-by no means all-paci-
flc issues I, like most Socialists, am
in agreement with the views ex-
pressed by Mr.. Wallace.
I'VE emphatically disagree with
him in believing that peace can be
had by appeasement of aggressive
Communist totaitarianism."
Mr.. Thomas decision came as the
convention, working to complete the
party platform, rejected proposed
resolution calling for organized civil
disobedience" to all war and warlike
preparations.
Adopted instead was a committee
report pledging the party to support
of the Marshall plan in the event
Russia rejects proposals to make
the United Nations a democratic
world organization"
In that event, the Socialist reso-
luton said, the United States must
pledge itself to continue its eco
nomic aid in the rehabilitation or
development Of all countries accept
ing the principles of political free
dom, irrespective of their economic
institutions.

Taber, Cannon Oppose
Senate Proposal for
Omnibus Budget Bill
By J. A. O'Leor

The two top members of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee came out yesterday against
the Senate plan to handle the
entire annual budget of the
Federal Government in one ap-
preparation bill. It Is now put
through in IL or Is Departmental
measures.
Representative Taber. Republican
of New York, chairman, and Repre-
sentative Cannon. Of Missouri, rank
ing Democrat on the committee
turned thumbs. down on the plan
which the Senate Republican Pol
icy Committee decided Friday should
be considered ct this session.
Both House members contended
the single spending bill idea would
not prove economical or practical.
From his home at Berryville, Va.
however, Senator Byrd, Democrat
rallied to the defense of the pro-
posal, which he is sponsoring Jointly
with Senator Butler, Republican. o1

Byrd Sees Tax Raise.
Predicting that the Federal bud.

tax rates.
II think when the people under.
stand the situation, they will de.
mand something along this line,
said the Virginian, expressing hope
that both the Senate and House vii
consider the new plan seriously.
Mr.. Taber contended Jumping al
Government requirements into one
bill would result in an increase oi
20 per cent in the total amount ap.
propriated.
ut would lead to log-rolling-you
couldn't prevent it," Mr.. Taber said
Senator Byrd's answer to this
argument is that log rolling is just

Cannon Cites Budget Size.
Mr.. Cannon said he did not see
how the consolidated appropriation
bill plan could be followed "effec-
lively or efflciently" in a budget oi
the size required for the Federal
government.
Senator Byrd said the omnibus
appropriation bill would give Con-
gress and the people a clearer pic
ture of Government requirements
than they get now when the needs
Of each department are taken up
separately over a period of six
months, between the convening of
Congress in January and the be-
ginning of the fiscal year, July /.
He said 1t also would enable the
House and Senate to compare the
cost of one department with another.
The omnibus bill could be divided
into separate titles for each depart
ment, but Congress would be acting
on the budget as a whole at one
time.
The Byrd Butler bill as ap-
proved by the Senate Rules Com
mittee, would not preclude the

Appropriation Committees from
bringing out one or more general
deficiency, or supplemental bills, to
meet requirements arising after the
original budget was prepared.
Truman Budget Recalled.
The budget President Truman
submitted in January for the fiscal
year starting July / called for $39.-
TOO 900, 600. Both houses voted in
February to try to hold expendi-
lures for next year to $37 zoe, ,000,-
600. They took this action under
the requirement in the Legislative
Reorganization Act that they fix
ceiling on the budget at the start Of
each year, but this ceiling Is not
mandatory limit.
There are two factors that tend
to upset any arbitrary budget cell
ing set at the start Of a session: l.
unforeseen supplemental needs
which the President finds it neces-
sary to submit: 2, approval by Con-
gress Of some items not recommend
ed by the administration.
Recently, for example, both the
House and Senate became so con-
scious Of the need for stronger ma
tional defenses in view Of the world
Situation, that they voted over
whelmingly to 60 beyond the adj
|ministration's recommendations by
approving funds to build the Air
Force up to 70-group strength.
Action Still To Be Taken.
The regular defense budgets for
the Navy and Army land forces, and
the first-year appropriation for the
European Recovery Program remain
to be acted on. Until the session
is nearly over. therefore, it will not
be possible to tell how the final
spending figures will compare with
the goals that were under discus
sion in February.
Mr.. Taber reiterated his belief
that the requirement In the reor-
ganization Act for the fixing of
budget ceiling in February should be
repealed.
The views expressed by Mr.. Taber
and Mr.. Cannon made it appear un-
likely that the Byrd-Butler CONSOLE
dated appropriation bill, as a new
approach to the problem of improv-
ing budget procedure, can get
through both houses this year.
Congressional leaders hope to ad-
journ about June 10. which leaves
only six weeks for its consideration.

DEAR EDITOR:

It is with great interest and approval that I read your edi torial on the fish trap question. l say approval because l feel also that everyone should get the facts and figures before mak- ing a decision.
 I'm very much against them on the grounds of conservation. That may sound odd since in the survey made by the Fish and Wildlife, they stated that traps made no difference on the development of salmon. BUT they did not mention how many other types of fish wind up in the traps, are brailed or emptied out in a barge or tender and hauled back to the cannery where they are then sorted out the salmon used and the rest dumped overheard dead
 While thls is a comparatively small number of fish, multiply it by the times 8 day one trap IS emptied (which is some tlmes as high as four), also by the number of traps in Alaska, and you have nice kettle of fish
 Some of these fish are not of edible species but the govern ment is spending millions on
