Arthur Garfield Hays, counse for
the Revolutionary Age and the Com

group said in federal court today
the aim Of the party is to event

not foolish enough to believe the
overthrow could be brought about
except by force" he added.
Mr.. Hays made his statement In
arguing for an order restraining
Postmaster Kiely from interfering
with the transmission by mail of
the revolutionary organ. He said,
however. that overthrow was out OF
the question at present. and upon
this based his contention that post
office authorities should not inter-
fere with the dissemination OF COM
munist views by mail.
United States Attorney futile
said the matter OF freedom Of
speech and Of the press was not an
issue. the admitted aims Of the
communists being what they were.

ton as to what disposition should
be made of Harlingen's S500.000

II wo propositions have won wide
spread support. One would have the
money spent as soon as possible to
dredge the Arroyo Colorado from
the Southern Pacific bridge TO Padre
Island TO a depth Of nine feet and
a width OF 100 feet. The other
would lend the s500,0O0 to begin

Petitions urging the former prof.

that more than 1900 names have
been attached TO them. Another
petition has been in circulation for
some time which could cut off sal
aries Of all officers OF the navi-
CATION body who now are drawing
