Town Hall full
(N Z Press Association) WHANGAREI, Oct. 30. It was standing room only In the Whangarei Town Hall tonight when the Prime Minister (Mr Marshall) opened the General Election campaign. More than 900 people crammed the 860-seat auditorium. The meeting, on the whole, was good-natured although the Prime Minister had to contend with frequent interjections from a small group of Portland cement workers and from one man, near the front of the hall, who kept asking: "What about the rail-cars.” The cement workers picketed the Town Hall before Mr Marshall’s arrival saying it was a demonstration against “vicious antiworker legislation.”
