THOMAS ABOUT SET FOR
NEW PRESIDENTIAL DRIVE
Washington, April 5 Norman
Th:mas, apparently about to un
dertake another presidential cam
paign as the candidate of the Soc
ialist party, criticized John L. Le
wis’ third party threat today as
“political romanticism”.
Thomas came to Washington to
attend the biennial Socialist par
ty convention, wttiich begins to
morrow, and at a press conferen
ce, made it plain that the Social
ists would have nothing to do
with such an effort by the C. I. O.
leader.
Lewis said several days ago
that unless the nominee and plat
form 'of the Democratic party
were suitable he probably would
call a convention of youth, Neg
ro, old age, and labor groups to
take appropriate action.

New Pennsylvania
Flood Threat Dims
\
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., April a—
A second flood crest spread out
hr rmletsiy tonight down the wid
ening valley of the Susquehanna.
After abrupt rises, rain and;
srow fed head waters in highlands]
of upper Pennsylvania and low
er New York began dropping
steadily. N_ more rain was ex
pected immediately, and a fore.
est of colder weather indicated
hs run-off would be checked.
'hcre was little new damage.
The rise cf the Susquehanna
.hat sent flocd waters over low'-,
one.-: between Tcwanda and
Wilkes-Barre for the sec. nd tiniaj
:his week stopped before night-'
fall at To war; da and a crest at
least four feet below Monday's
high mark here was predicted dur..
ing the night.
Waters were high along the en
tire Susquehanna valley through
watersheds of eastern and west
ern Penn, to tihe confluence of
the Alleghany and Monengahela
that farm the Ohio river at Pitts
burgh. |
The'Ailcghany, vTth a trace of
sr.ov/ at its head waters, spilled
ever its banks into Main street
at Portville, N. Y., and flooded 1
lowlands outside Olean where it
was 15 1-2 feet above normal—
the highest mark this year.,
The river overflowed at Frank -
lin and Warren, Pa., but failed to
reach floodstage at Pittsburgh’s
“golden triangle.” The crest
i downstream along the Ohio was
expected to toe below danger le
vels.

Crossing the street between in
tersections in five times as likely
to result in death as crossing at
intersections, records of the High
way Safety Division show.
Three-fourths of the drivers in
volved in accidents in North Caro
lina last year had been driving a
year or longer.

lands were established as part of
’ the CCC reforestation program,
' by 1938 reported a total annual
production capacity of 13,000,000
young trees.

have spent a total of 168,000 man
, days of labor in these nurseries,
j collecting and processing seeds

(transplanting and shipping plant
j ing stock. They have gathered 34,.
' 800 bushels of pine cones from
