THOMAS PAYS SOME OF OFFICE STAFF FROM FINDS OF ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE; TRANSFERS SECRETARY, 1IIS LUNCHTIME PARTNER; SHE RECKS HIS CAR AFTER COCKTAIL PARTY; HE GRABS HEADLINE. WASHINGTON. Here is more of the Farnell Thomas story the story about the congressman who hasnt learned that those who live in glass houses cannot throw stones. One of the nice things about being chairman you can pay some of your office staff from funds Activities committee Is that of the of that committee. And bouncing Congressman Parnell Thomas of New Jersey has learned to do his to perfection. He transfers clerks and stenographers back and forth between his own staff and t he ctniuiiuce b as If he were taking kings on a checkerboard. One of his transferees has been Mrs. Vera who happens to be the congressman's favorite secretary, and who at the moment draws the handsome secretarial salary of $5,000. When In Washington, Congressman Thomas usually lunches In his private offiee with a bottle of premixed Martinis and Mrs. Halyburton. He also loans Mrs. Halyburton his car from time to time, and as a result, on Nov. 25, 1945, came near' upsetting his insurance partnership. Though some people do try to pull fast ones on Insurance companies it is not considered a patriotic practice, especially when you are in the insurance business yourself. It so happened that Mrs. Halyburton had been enjoying some Alexander cocktails at the home of a friend, on the afternoon of Nov. 25. and insisted on driving home on her own. Pouring the remainder of her cocktail in a bottle and despite the advice of friends, she climbed into the congressmans car and was off. Shortly thereafter she tearfully reported that she had collided with two parked cars, with considerable damage to all three, Thomas Hungry for I leadlines The police report of the accident slates that "Mrs. Halyburton was taken to casualty hospital In scout car 91 and. treated by Dr. Richard Gitter of the staff for abrasion to left knee and contusion to chest. Not serious. Not admitted. Officer John Burton of Precinct 9 also lepoited that the vehicle involved had failml to give full time and attention." that the vehicles were "in that the road was apparent good condition, stiaiglit, the surface dry, the weather clear, and it was daylight. that How hungry Congressman Thomas Is for headlines was Indicated by a telegram he immediately sent to Rossman Wynkoop, managing editor, Bergen Evening Record, llackeitsaek.

Both of the ears into which Miss Halyburton clashed were badly damaged, and Rep. Tiiomas's car was demolished. Haly-burto- n, (Signature) Parnell Facts Contradict Thomas The facts, however, were just the opposite. Mrs. Halyburton went to see Dr. Robert on Nov. 26 who told her she was suffering from shock and nothing more. He advised her to return to work. Because she complained about her chest, however. Dr. Rosuoith sent her to Sibley hospital for an nnd later in the day phoned the congressman's office that the Showed nothing wrong. Next day, Nov. 27. despite the above medical report.

There still are scoffers, but it gets harder all the time to misunderstand what goes on. For technical reasons, the top Red leaders in this country have not been indicted as spies. But testimony, being heard by congressional committees, makes it clear that the Kremlin is doing to us what it did to its other friendly ally, Canada. One need not pass premature judgement on the guilt or innocence of any accused individual to realize that Moscow has been making patsies of us in a skillful attempt to weaken our nation, so that it cannot interfere with Soviet aggression. This makes all the more timely and significant a study made by Counterattack, showing the extent to which Communists dominated and recognized the Philadelphia convention of Henry Wallace's newr part, and nominate the machinery of the party. Nobody seriously believes that Wallace is a Communist Party member, But nobody seriously believes, either, that he controls his party. He is just a stooge, a front man. He w'ould be kicked under the kitchen stairs at any moment he dared crew that really cross the Red and runs the party. Counterattack is not a political organ. It is a subscription service for businessmen and others who want to know what the Communists and their stooges are doing to injure this country. Its key personnel are reputable former FBI agents. It is credited with having the best file on Reds, and their doings outside the Department of Justice. J. F.
