• conditions of probation prohibiting expression of opinion on constitutionality of tax laws which probationer has been found guilty of violating held overbroad
• condition of probation prohibiting defendant from circulating material attacking income tax and federal reserve systems was overbroad
• but remanding for revision of condition to avoid forbidding “the naked expression of opinion as to constitutionality of the measures in question.”
