Clark Defends Right
Of All Groups 10
Free Speech
Civil Liberties Champion
Of Jersey City Fame
Lectures Here

Grenville Clark of New York, civil
liberties champion OF the legal pro-
fession, last night defended the
right Of all groups to free speech
and free assembly as guaranteed by
the bill of rights.
Mr.. Clark, who recently won fame
in the Mayor Hague-C. I. o. battle
in Jersey City by having his brief
on the right of free assembly sup
ported by the courts, did not refer
directly to Jersey City, though he
cited "a city In New Jersey" as an
example Of gross interference with
the right Of free speech in regard
to government affairs"
The address was the second in
the final series of lectures spon-
sored by the Catholic University
Law School.
The speaker, who is head Of a
special committee on the bill of
rights created by the New York Bar
Association, voiced opposition to the
attitude of the Educational Com
mittee in New York which favors
limiting the groups using schools for
public meetings.
The one way to hurt the Ameri-
can cause, he declared, Is to drive
speakers from public places. They
will find another place to speak, he
said, and, in addition, have a legiti-
mate cause to attack the system.
He compared the American Con-
stitution with that of the Soviet.
While they appear similar on the
surface in regard to free speech, he
said, actually the Russian consti-
tuition lacks vitality because anyone
speaking against the government Is
Immediately suppressed.
1t is evident, he said, that law
yers haven't studied the situation
thoroughly. Otherwise, he explained,
they would realize that as soon as
dlctators are in control the first
thing they bar is free speech when
1t means criticism Of their govern
mentS.
