HATCH BILL GETS FOE AND FRIENDS
| |
Young Democrats Opposing Original Terms, Seek | Weakened Form.
By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON. July 14 (U, P.). New pressure to defeat the Hatch hill limiting political activities of Federal employees was being applied | by members of Young Democrat or-| ganizations today, as Administration leaders marshaled their forces against the measure. The Young Democrats, it was learned, have approached members |
which its sponsors wish it approved —as it came from the Senate—it would limit activities of members ‘who hold Federal jobs. Some of them have complained that, as Federal employees, they 'would be forced to resign positions they now hold in the Young Democrat organizations. The drive to defeat the bill or to have it passed in a weakened form also has been led by the Democratic National Committee, Committee officials have lobbied actively on | Capitol Hill to render the bill ineffectual. But support for the legislation came today from some leaders of the liberal bloc in the House, among them Rep. Jerry Voorhis (D. Cal.) and Rep. Knute Hill (D. Wash.),
TORSO CASE STAINS CALLED ‘PLAIN DIRT
CLEVELAND, July 14 (U. P)— One-third of Sheriff Martin L. O'Donnell's case against Frank Dolezal, charged with one of the 13 “torso” murders, collapsed today with a laboratory technician's report that what the sheriff had al-| leged was a layer of dried blood found behind Dolezal’s bathtub was] nothing more than dirt. | Sheriff O'Dennell will present his | evidence to a grand jury July 24. He said he would not ask the help of the County Prosecutor's office. The evidence that remained con-| sisted of two knives, which the) sheriff said were stained with human blood—and Dolezal’s confes-| sion, which eivic organizations and| local newspapers have charged was!

One factor is lack of adequate labor support of the law—though the C. I. O. and A. F. of L. oppose emasculating amendments, they have been busier fighting each other on the labor board and attacking the new WPA law. Another factor is lack of vigorous White House

More than a million workers now protected by the law would be exempted from wage provisions by the Barden bill, and more than a mil-
lion and half workers exempted | from the maximum hours provi- | sions, All workers receiving $150 a month would be exempt by the Barmeasure (the Administration! figure was $200). Friends of the law object that, besides hundreds of thousands of clerical employees deprived of overtime, this will exempt all craft and skilled workers paid on
a piece-rate or hourly basis where
employers would guarantee $150 a month. The bill also would fosier underpaid home work in rural areas and spread it from industrial areas. according to friends of the law, It would draw teeth from the law hy limiting to six months an employee's right to suit for violation regardless of when the violation was discovered.
