Although a dozen States ballot the Communist Party or any party advocating violent overthrow of the Government, such laws have been declared unconstitutional in C: nois, the only two States where they have as yet been subjected to definitive court tests. Proposals to outlaw the party, either by name or by atf advocacy of violence which it denles, seem to run clearly counter to constitutional guarantees of free speech, free associations and due pr deduction ‘when he lost that property Merry-Go-Round By DREW PEARSON (Continued from Page One) or commodities within six months —chort term—purchase.

A survey made public at the meeting indicated that there is a strong market for smaller, lighter cars to sell for substantially lower prices. To take New York City as an example, 61 per cent of those replying to the questionnaire en- ! dorsed the idea of a more economical car. The majority of those replying favored a car to sell between $750 and $1,000. These prices are far below those asked for cars now being marketed. With labor and material costs as they are now, the desired figures do not seem to be too realistic. It is significant however, that the respondents in the survey expressed themselves as willing to buy vehicles of between 90 aud 100- inch wheel base, and betweei: 70 and 80 horsepowe! oth materially lower than those of the present standard cars in the low-price brackets.
