WASHINGTON', April 25. Secretary of Labor Wilson after an all-day argument took under advisement to night the fiuestion whether member ship in the communist, labor party in itst-If constituted grounds for de portation of aliens. During the hearing, there was a f areup ovrr statements attributed to Federal Judge Anderson, of Boston that the government "operates some part of the communist party in this country," Swiriburn Hale of New York upholding it and J. Hoover of the de partment of justice, declaring it an "unjustifiable misconception of the facts." Armed with voluminous communist li'erature. Hoover attempted to show by quotations of lengthy excerpts the relationship between the communist labor party and the third Interna tionale. John Rrrd Drrlnrcd Founder. Asserting that John Redd last re ported detained in Abo, Finland, for affiliation with the bolsheviki, was the founder of the communist labor party. Hoover declared it was like ail other communist organizations, "a Karig of cut-throat aliens who have come to this country t-j overthrow the government by force." Fifty per cent of the influence be hind The recent strikes, Hoover said, was directly traceable to the com munist organizations. In endeavoring to distinguish be tween the communist partly and the communist labor party, Ha declared the application blank of the -communist labor party made the appli cant bound' to be "guided ' by" the principles of the party. An applicant for membership in the communist party, on the other hand, he satd, pledged support as "an active work er." The platform of the communist party. Hale asserted, was nothing more than the socialism of Karl Marx and argument for "action of masses" whs subject to a political interpreta tion. I'almer Denies Hale's Charge. Attorney-General Palmer tonight denied the statement by Hale at to day's hearing that Louis C. Fraina, described as secretary of the com munist party of America, was an agent of the department. Fraina said he had never rendered any service to the department. Discussing the department's activi ties in connection with the raids and deportation proceedings, the attorney general said: "Certain statements have recently appeared in the public press to the effect that the depart ment of justice has had its agents actively identified in the formation of the communist party and the com munist labor party, and was to a large extent responsible for the agitation and unrest caused by those two or ganizations through their propaganda. Organising WorkDrnird. "There is no foundation whatever! for this charge. Of course, the depart ment of justice has used confidential informants every since its bureau of investigation was established, but they are under strict instructions not to engage actively In any organiza tion, under their Investigation. There is no instance in the administration if the department of justice where any confidential informant has ever actively engaged in the councils of the communist party or the communist labor party. "One of the specific instances charged to the confidential informants of the department of justice is to the effect it hat they were Instrumental in the holding of meetings of the communist liarty on January 2, 1920. Use of Warrants Discussed. "That was the regular meeting night ef the communist party throughout the country, which held its meetings on the first Friday of each month. "Pertawi references have been made to the holding of individuals without warrants in these deportation pro ceedings. As a large number of simultaneous arrests were made throughout the country, there were naturally a few isolated cases involv ing individuals for whom no warrant was in hand. Sometimes this resulted from mistaken Identification and sometimes because of other circum stances not easily foreseen. They were negligible in number and war rants were promptly requested for such persons when taken into custody ly the department of labor." ai ALIENS OCT ODER BOND r Xune of Accused Men Committed to Violence, Judge Rules.

PORT FUNS ARE STUDIED CIVIC LEAGUE TARES CP DE VELOPMENT PROJECT. Members of Committee, of 15 De scribe and Etplain Proposal by Cse of Maps. - Port development under the pro posed plan of the committee of IS, which probably will come before the voters this fall in the form of the authorisation or rejection of a bond issue, was taken up for discussion and study by the Oregon Civic league at its regular weekly luncheon and meet ing at the Benson hotel Saturday noon. Three members of the commit tee. P. C. Knapp, J. B.. Kerr and Frank M. Warren, were the speakers. Each of the three speakers took up ome phase of the proposed. harbor im provement and with the aid of a map the entire plan, embracing channel enlargement and straightening, new dockage, anchorage, industrial sites and terminal facilities, was explained in detail. Following the' talks by the three guests of -the day there was an informal discussion of tne plan, the speakers answering questions pre sented to them. "The casting of an affirmative vote on the, proposed bond issue next fall would mark the biggest step in the history of Portland port development," declared Air. Warren. There are em braced in the project 1550 acres of land and the cost of the Improvement would be in the neighborhood of $6600 per acre. This would give the city abundant industrial acreage at a price lesa than half of what similar sites would cost in anyvof the other ports on the Paclfio coast. By leasing the sites to manufacturing and warehouse concerns sufficient money could be taken in to allow the land to ulti mately pay for itself and provide for the retirement of the bonds." The matter was referred to the res olutions committee and it is probable that a resolution favoring the pro posed Improvement will be presented at the next session of the league.

Customs Department Asserts Pa trolmen Have Not Right to Make Probe of Vessels. Portland police will no longer con duct raids for liquor and drugs on incoming offshore vessels, it was an nounced Saturday; following a clash between the police and the United States customs department growing out of the efforts of police officers to search the steamer Abercos at the St. Johns terminal.

(By the Associated Press.) The American hockey team won an easy victory this afternoon over the Swiss seven, by a score of 39 to 0. This was Ameri ca's'flrst participation in the seventh Olympic games. Scoring almost at will, the Ameri cans baffled their opponents not only by the cleverest hockey ever seen in Belgium, but by their adroit skating. From the very outset, the Americans took the offensive, scoring the first goal within two minutes. They finished the first half with a score of 16 to 0, and even though Drury was put out of the game by ths referee after the third minute of flay in the second halt for kicking the puck, the Americans continued to score with six men against their op ponents' seven. Only once was the American goal threatened. That was after Conroy also had- been ruled off and the Americans, playing with five men, were forced to put up a brisk defense for a few minutes. Fitzgerald then took the initiative, driving and fol lowing tse puck all the way down "the rinJt for a goal. McCormlck several times scored from a long distance, lifting the puck and shooting it on a line to the goal. The goals in today's events were as follows: Conroy, (: McCormlck, 7; Goheen, 6; Drury, 6; Fitzgerald, 1, and Tuck, 1.
