High Court 10 Hear
Arguments Feb. II
In Hague Case
Writ Granted G. |. O. in
Philadelphia Held Up
Pending Ruling

The Supreme Court will hear ar
guments February 27 on the contro-
versial Jersey City ordinance that
was invoked in the Hague strong
hold to bar public meetings by the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton now Congress Of Industrial
Organizations.
The court, moving swiftly, grant,
ed the review yesterday afternoon,
just few hours after Mayor Frank
Hague had asked the high court
to take jurisdiction. The Supreme
Court also ordered that an in
junction granted the C. I. o. and
the American Civil Liberties Union
by the Federal Circuit Court in
Philadelphia be imperative pend
ing a final decision. The latter
groups joined in asking the Su-
preme Court to hear the appeal,
pleading that "the issues involved
are of paramount national impor-
tance."
The injunction. granted originally
by Federal Judge William Clark,
was upheld by the Circuit Court.
The latter, Mayor Hague said in
his petition yesterday, had misin-
terpreted Supreme Court deci-
sion of 1888 in ruling unconstitu-
tional the city ordinance under
which Daniel j. Casey, director of
public safety, had denied permits
for public meetings in a protracted
row between Mayor Hague and the
G. I. o.
"This case in no aspect involves
the right to speak, assemble or meet
freely" said the petition, adding
that "the sole issue is the ex-
tent to which public streets and
places should be made a forum for
large gatherings Of persons upon
particular occasions"

his job.
In the time of national emer-
gency, domestic or foreign, the
Job of the President is even
more difficult. In such periods
it has always been found neces-
sary to establish administrative
machinery in addition to that
required for the normal work of
the Government. Set up in a
time of stress, these special ia
cilities sometimes have worked at
cross purposes both within them
selves and with the regular agen-
cies. In order that the Nation
may not again be caught un-
aware, adequate resources for
management should be provided
in advance of such periods of
emergency. Although these man.
agement facilities need be
brought into action only when an
emergency or serious threat of
emergency exists, they must
function in an integral relation
ship to the regular management
arms of the President.
To accomplish these objectives,
the following executive order has
been issued by the President:
