College Socialists Throw Thomas' Chapeau into Presidential Contest

Norman Thomas entered the local White House race last night when a handful of College Socialists formed the Harvard Committee for Thomas in the Brooks House Chapel Room.

The group adopted an 80-word constitution and heard Aldric Revell, Nieman Fellow here and vice-president of the Wisconsin CIO, call the Socialists "the only party that can stop the cycle of boom and bust."

Revell said the Democratic and Republican parties both stand for the same principles. Admitting that the GOP had the election wrapped up, he insisted that "a vote for Thomas will not be wasted. It is certainly no more useless than a vote for Truman."
