i 1GK TEN REDS DEFIANT IN Si. PROBE Admit Activities . Carried - Out Under Orders of Moscow Group SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6. (AP) Admitted communist leaders of the Pacific coast, ap pearing today before a congres sional committee investigating communism Id tbe United States, advocated overthrow of the gov era&jent and substitution for it of the Soviet system of rule. Their statements drew the fire of Congressman Carl Bach mann, a member of the commit tee. who warned William J. Si mons, communist leader in Call fornia and other western states to confine himself to questions asked and to avoid ' speeencs. Activities of .communists here during the last five years were described by various witnesses, including police officials, federal Immigration officers, national guard officers and representa tives of the American Legion. AH agreed communism was on the Increase in the west and were of the opinion .legislation should be adopted providing for deportation of alien communists when their activities are shown to bo opposed to the welfare of the nation. . Claims Prob is Against Workers Simons proved fiery witness and assailed the committee's in vestigation as a direct move against workers of the country and a menace to communists try ing to alleviate conditions of the workers. Insistent questioning by Con gressman Bachmann and Con gressman 5. Hamilton Fish, Jr., chairman of the committee, brought the admission from Si mons that communists in Amer ica were members of the third Internationale with headquarters at Moscow?- and proceeded under direction of that parent body. Simons was asked by Bach mann what he thought would happen If he were to arise be fore an Investigating body in Russia and denounce the Soviet. "Judge for yourself," Simona replied. Points to Gerard List in Defense Finally Simons agreed he would not be "an ideal insurance risk," but added nobody would denounce such an ideal form of gavernment. Under questioning he admitted Russia is ruled by the communist party, member ship of which comprises less than one per cent of the popula tion of the country. "But that i9 not as bad as the situation in this country where former Ambassador Gerard pointed out that 59 capitalists rule the nation," s'!d Simons. Among other witnesses today were Captain Charles Goff of the San Francisco police department. He testified be had heard Simons advocate violence against the government and on one occasion, during an unemployment demon stration, he said he heard Si mons threaten to seize $1,500, 000 from the city treasury to supply Jobless workers, if the unemployment situation were not alleviated. Colonel Wayne Allyn, of the 159th infantry, California na tional guard, said he han1 discov ered a - number of communists had enlisted in national guard machine gun companies.

Military observers tonight point ed to the vast distances between the points along the coast and in the Interior where it would ap pear the revolutionists have to a measure been successfull, as indi cating the possibility of a pro longed revolt.
