Jersey, Chairman of the Un-Ameri- can Activities Committee. Once again his ability to use up the taxpayers petty cash has been un- derestimated.
 Instead of getting salary kick backs from four of his clerks, cleaning women and stenographers and receiving contributions" from the families of two soldiers he kept out of combat, it appears that Con- gressman Thomas has some other monetary activities"
 Whether they were un-American activities will be left to the public to decide. but Thomas kept up a petty, psltry, never-ending raid on the public till. totally unbecom- ing a man who is supposed to set an example of good Americanism to the American people.
 It now develops that back in l94O Congressman Thomas devised the idea of having his secretaries con tribute part of their salaries to a pool to be used for his reelection campaign. The amount was no' ereat-$l25O a month from Helen Campbell, his first secretary, ano S7.5O from Miss Mildred kraemer But these ladies salaries were paio by the Government, not Thomas and it is against the law to deduct any part of such salaries.
 The Congressman from New Jer- sey is most resourceful, and this was just a small part of his con- tinual tapping of the taxpayers purse. Here are some of Parnell: other little financial short cuts.

HARD TO SPEND THE DOUGH oIoul,r fn~ ,&nystsonI


 Committee clerks for political business-The Un- American Activ- ities Committee has one of the most generous appropriations in Congress. During l947-48 it was voted the huge fund of $300,000. But by June of this year, the Committee still had a balance of $158, ,66486
 This was unexpended despite the fact that Chairman Thomas had pitched in and done his part tow ard using up the money. Last summer he kept the Committee clerks busy sending out 45,000 cop ies of speech he had made re- viewing the Committees ten-year record. Six to a dozen girls were hired at various times during the summer to address envelopes to the voters in Thomas district.
 The Committees minority clerk, eager-beaver John Darlington, made an indiscreet reference to this in letter sent to Thomas in Allen dale, N. J., on July l2.
 We are now going full-steam ahead on your ten years of vigil ance for your district" he wrote Thomas, and will complete this list as early as we possibly can"
 In the same letter Darlington asked for a S750 salary raise for

the n-American Activities Com- mittee. Thomas had to get Demo- cratic Chairman John s. Wood Of Georgia to OK all his phone bills. One of the last bills Wood OK'd was a voucher for $3960 for "tele- phone calls on official Committee business" But of the p calls list ed. 2l were to Thomas home or to other parts of New Jersey. The bill listed Thomas himself as call- ing i'll lA cases.
 Blank expense vouchers Unlike Supreme Court Justice Douglas, Thomas Committee does not relish carefully itemized expense accounts. Blank vouchers are encouraged.
 On July 6, l948, Rep. Thomas wrote Frederick R. Stevens Of lo6 College Ave, Ithaca. N. Y., enclos- ing voucher for S72.06 to cover expenses incurred by Stevens on a trip to Washington. For some reason he also enclosed blank voucher for Stevens to sign.
 will you kindly sign the en- closed voucher, also the blank vouchers and return at your earl jest convenience?" Thomas wrote. Why Thomas wanted the blank voucher with Stevens name sign ed at the bottom he did not ex- plain. Could it have been filled | in for various amounts which Stew
 ems did not spend? This is some l thing which Republican leaders of l Congress have an obligation to in- vestigate.
