HAGUE WOULD
NOT ACCEPT
Clio SUPPORT
Believes Financial Aid
Would Be Destructive
to Democratic Party

NEWARK, N. j., June 16.
! (UP)-Mayor Frank Hague of
Jersey City yesterday told fed
eral court during a boisterous ses-
sion on "free speech" that he did
not believe the Democratic party
should accept political adm
Guiding money-from the "CIO
Reds" or the American Labor
party.
His statement was made over
protests of his own attorney,
John Matthews, during a brisk
debate with Morris Ernst, attor-
ney for the Committee for Indus
trial Organization, which is seek
ing an injunction to restrain
Hague from tossing its organizers
out of Jersey City.
The six-foot-three-inch mayor
said he thought it would be "de-
structive" for the Democrats to
accept contributions from the two
labor groups because they were
Communists"
Hague is the vice-chairman of
the Democratic National commit
tee and considered the Democra-
tic boss in New Jersey.
Ernst asked him if he would
refuse financial contribution
from the American Labor party
con the ground that they are
what you call undesirable ~;
Sure" said Hague. Then he
turned to Ernst and said: eff the
purpose of the American Labor
party was to influence and con-
troll the general Democratic par
ty, / would reject the contribu-
ton"
Ernst asked what Hague would
do about contributions from the
United Automobile Workers, al
so a Clio affiliate, if he were run
ming for the governorship in
Michigan. Matthews jumped up
again, and Ernst asked, smiling,
broadly: =
"May / address your" shouted
Hague, apparently to no one in
particular. Matthews waved for
him to stop talking, but Federal
Judge William P. Clark interrupt
ed. =.
al think he wants to talk to
you, Mr.. Matthew'S" he said.
Ernst, a baldish, rosy-cheeked
little man who had previously
been accused by Hague of being
the "real power behind the CIO,"
asked Hague if he thought "in
your capicity as vice-chairman of
the Democratic National Commit
tee," that the Democrats should
repudiate the support of the
United Mine Workers, a CIO-af-
filiate, in behalf of the re-nomina-
ton of Sen. Alben Barley Of
Kentucky.
"If the United Mine Workers
are associated with Reds and part
and parcel of the Communist
group, Senator Barley should
denounce them," he said. "Then
thousands of Americans would
march to the polls in his support"
Ernst asked Hague if "on the
same grounds" he would reject a
contribution of the Clio to the
Democratic party.
From the reputation which
has followed the CLIO feel that
it would be destructive to accept
their contribution. / know other
leaders would disagree with me-"
said Hague.
