Last week-as Boss Hague was haled into Federal District Court in nearb'y Newark by C. I. O. and the Civil Liberties Union to defend himself against a charge of abridging the constitutional right of free speech-Norman Thomas, whose Socialist Party claims partial credit for ex posing Jersey City as a place where civil liberties are dead, appeared in Newark's Military Park to berate Mayor Hague publicly. His reward: howls, band music, ripe tomatoes, rotten eggs, an announcement by the park commissioner that hereafter Newark, like Jersey City, will permit no more anti-Hague meetings...
...During the War he piloted the rattling biplanes of the British Royal Air Force as an instructor, afterwards fought in Russia for the White Army. He was one of the handful of commercial pilots with "1,000,000-mile" flying records. In May 1935, he flew influenza serum from Newark to the Eskimos of upper Alaska. Aboard was another air veteran-Douglas Aircraft Co.'s Test Pilot E. H. Veblen, who had ferried a DC-3 east for delivery to the Soviet's Amtorg Trading Corp. and was returning to Los Angeles.

They are isolated cases, but when Mayor Hague's bullying methods spread to Newark, the time has come to view with alarm. Perhaps the growing emulation of Hague is nor surprising in view of Mr. Thomas's indictment of Governor Moore as "only Hague's Charlie McCarthy." In any, case the isolated curiosity must be checked before its "tyranny in the guise of patriotism" becomes a vogue in American municipalities. Just...
...Senator Bridges called on the country to put an end to "Roosevelt Constitutional tyranny." In a Washington broadcast, Idaho's Borah warned the U. S. not to be moved by "the din of screeching and incoherent propaganda" into lining up with European democracies against totalitarian governments. And in Newark, N. J. Republican National Committee Chairman John D. M. Hamilton spoke at a banquet in honor of New Jersey's seven Republican Representatives and Senatorial Candidate W. Warren Barbour. Mr. Hamilton's thesis: "In recent months there has been a tremendous flight of votes from the Democratic...
