SWYGERT, District Judge.

First, because he comes within the purview of Section 305 of the Nationality Act of 1940, 8 U.S.C.A. § 705, which in pertinent part provides that, “No person shall hereafter be naturalized as a citizen of the United States — who * * * is a member of any * * * organization * * * that believes in, advises, advocates, or teaches — (1) the overthrow by force or violence of the Government of the United States.”
