They had come for a World Conference on Church. & State, first big international and interdenominational meeting of the churches since the Stock, holm Conference of 1925.

...Jersey's Norton is a large, brown-eyed Roman Catholic, a onetime social worker and since 1920 a wheelmare for New Jersey's Democratic Boss Frank Hague. In Congress since 1925, she has got along well with her party because "I always take the recommendation of county leaders as to the fitness of a man or woman for a job."
