Truman has in mind. But in his
own tax reduction proposal early
this year, the President suggested
that each person be allowed a $40
“cost of living” tax cut—a plan
that would make the percentage
saving big for low-income people
with a conspiracy “to defraud the
United States of its money and
property.”
At his Allendale. N. J., home,
Thomas said “I have nothing to
say at all at this moment,” he said
he might have a statement later.
The committe*e headed by Tho
mas was in the spotlight through
out the year in its investigations
into Communist and subversive
activities during and since the
war.
Thomas was re-elected last
Tuesday. However, he will lose
his chairmanship when Democrats
take control of Congress in Janu
ary.
The conspiracy was alleged to
have run from Jan .1, 1940, to
Jan. 30, 1945.
Miss Campbell was accused only
of the alleged conspiracy. Thomas
was charged with conspiracy and
also with a series of overt acts in
the filing of allegedly false claims.
Court officials said that convic
tion on all the charges against
Thomas would carry a possible
maximum sentence of 32 years in
prison, $40,000 in fines, or both.
George Morris Fay, U. S. dis
trict attorney, said the court was

but tiny for those in the high
brackets.
The President estimated the cost
of his plan at $3,200,000,000. He
proposed that amount be made up
by an excess profits tax.
In any event, the White House
has sent word around to the vari
ous government departments that
they will have to contend with “a
hard boiled budget policy.”
Budget Director James E. Webb
told reporters about it after a talk
with Mr. Truman last Saturday.
He said he and the President went
over fund requests for his depart
ments and agencies, and in most
cases decided to hold the amounts
below those Congress voted for
this year.
Webb did not say which agen
cies were involved, but he did
make clear that the military serv
ices were not among them. Largely
because of stepped-up defense
planning, there have been predic
tions that next year’s budget may
run some $3,000,000,000 above the
$42,000,000,000 outlay px-ojected
for the present govei*nment year
ending next June 30.
notified that Thomas will appear
Tuesday of next week for arraign
ment.
Fay said the trial, under nonnal
procedures, could not take place
before January.
The indictment charges Thomas
with 34 ‘‘overt acts," that is spe
cific instances of wrongdoing.
