Though the Friends of New Germany favor dictatorship and suppression of liberties, their right to free speech and peaceable assembly to advocate such tyrannies was nevertheless upheld in the District Court here.

Judge A. J. Hedding, upon sentencing three radicals who were arrested recently for disrupting a Nazi meeting, declared the constitutional rights of the “Friends” were “grossly violated” by the radical attack on the Nazi gathering.

Each of the three were sentnced to thirty days in the house of correction.
