NATIONAL AFFAIRS

DEMOCRATIC high-command opposes Hatch bill

TVA supporters predict Senate te kill House changes. ROUSE considers bill te previde money for 1940 relief. By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON. June 14.-—-The| high command of the Democratic National Committee is appealing to | party members in Congress to op- | pose the Hatch no-politics-in-relief bill with the flat warming that its passage would threaten party success at the polis. Most objections heretofore have been aimed at supposed restrictions on personal rights of Federal officials in political matters. Pressure is being applied now, however, with the blunt claim that enactment would be a blow at the Democratic |

party. | Telephone calls to Congressmen | from Charles Michelson, $25.000-a-year publicity director of the Na- | tional Committee, have been fol-| lowed by personal lobbying by rep- | resentatives of the committee on Capitol Hill. Edward L. Roddan, assistant to Chairman Farley of the national | committee, called on Congressmen yesterday to oppose the bill in its present form, Mr. Michelson said he had no phiection to barring politics in relief but that there were objections to limiting political activities of other Feeders) officials. The bill provides that Federal workers must not “take any active part in political management or political campaigns.” May Dodge Dinners One of the fears expressed is that officials thus might be kept from attending the coffer-filling Democratic dinners, tickets for which gell for from $10 to $100 a plate. Sponsors of the bill deny this, but have been met with a comment that some officials might use the measure as an excuse for not at-| tending the dinners. Rep. John J. Dempsey (D. N. M)), sho had threatened to introduce a petition to discharge the House Judiciary Committee from consideration of the bill and thus force it to the floor for a vote, predicted early Committee action. The measure, passed in April by the Senate. already has been reported favorably bv 2 Judiciary Subcommittee. "Ren. Emanuel Celler of New York. acting Committee chairman, said he doubted that his group could reach the bill before Tuesday. Mr. Celler said he favors barring politics in relief. but wants to study other provisions of the bill with the Committee. He added that he would have to consider what the legisiation would mean to the Democratic Party. Dempsey Gives Warning Rep. Dempsey warned that if the pill is amended in Committee to exempt groups of Federal employees from its provisions, he will fight to have these sections restored when the measure reaches the floor. A chief objection to the bill has been that postmasters, distriet attorneys, internal revenue collectors and like Federal officials would not be able to aid the campaigns of Congressmen who got them their Jobs. Postmasters already are barred from political activity by civil serv-| jce rules. Senator Lucas (D. IIL) today condemned use of district attorneys’ offices for political purposes. Federal attorneys are said to have been active on a wide scale in the Illinois election last vear. Senator Lucax said district attorneys should be barred from parHicipating in campaigns and should not run for other offices unless they

CITY SEEKS TO BUY 3 AUTOS, 13 CYCLES

The Safety Board is in the market for three new automobiles and 13 motorcycles for the Police Department. The Board decided to call for bids yesterday after Chief Morrissey reported that his department had three automobiles that had traveled about 85,000 miles and six motorcycles that had gone 35,000 miles, that needed replacing. These will be traded in on new vehicles. Chief Morrissey said the purchase of 13 motorcycles would give the department 50, a number long needed.
