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...
Virtually certain to win a future Nobel Peace Prize award would be the statesman-conjurer who could persuade both sides of the 23-month-old Spanish Civil War to lay down their arms and peacefully mediate their differences.

When Norman Thomas, Socialist leader, underwent a barrage of rotten eggs and ripe fruit Saturday night as he was about to speak against the policies of Mayor Hague, it was apparent that Hague's tactics had spread to the constituency of neighbor Mayor Ellenstein. "I watched this disturbance for ten minutes and at any time the police could have broken it up," said Mr. Thomas, and his charge is a serious...
