The British National Socialist Party was barred today from use of the Leyton Town Hall in London for an election campaign meeting. The Nazi Party has been campaigning against Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Walker, who charged in his recent unsuccessful bid for a Parliamentary seat that his Conservative opponent had been campaigning on a racist platform.

Swastikas were found last night daubed on doors and walls of the Leyton Town Hall, where Mr. Gordon Walker addressed a campaign rally which Colin Jordan, Leader of the British Nazis, tried to disrupt. After a scuffle with Laborites at the meeting, Jordan left the hall.
