Thompson replied.
Deny Revolution Theory
Thompson and Prof. Herbert
Brown, who preceded him, testified
that the teachings of Marx, Lenin,
Engels and other philosophers whose
writings formed the foundation for
Communism, did not advocate over
throw of government by revolution.
Thompson said that if Commun-
lists today were advocating revolu-
ton by force they weren't follow
ing the teachings of the elder
statesmen of the party.
The Bridges defense brought in
the professors in an effort to re-
flute the government contention
that Communists advocate violence
and overthrow of the existing gov
ernment. 1t was one of the two
charges against Bridges In the pro-
ceedings.

revenue, however, comes from occu-

bringing income total to $329,485,
about $4,000 more than the rock

necessity for future bond issues.
This would go into the regular

unforeseen expenses which might
require bonds if not otherwise pro-
vided for The trustees indicated
$4,000 a year as a minimum figure.
Wiped Out Reserve
Such unanticipated expenditures
last year wiped out a reserve of
nearly $4,000 in the general fund.
These expenses included the new
library building, purchase of lots
to create a park near Harding
school, purchase of a new street
cleaner and other necessary items.
