T0 BAN POLITICS IN STATE UNITS
Steals March on Sen. Hatch By Applying Rule to 100,000 Jobholders.
Times Special { WASHINGTON, Dec. 25. — The ban on political activities applied to Federal employees under the Hatch Act will be extended after Jan. 1 10 approximately 100,000 state job-| holders attached to agencies administering functions of the Social Security program, officials disclosed today. Acting under an amendment to the Social Security Act adopted in August, requiring installation of merit systems in state welfare agencies supported with Federal funds, | the Social Security Board has noti= | fied the states that their regula-| tions must include a prohibition against political activities. In determining whether state pro- | hihitions are satisfactory, the Board informed the states that it would | follow standards established in rules of the U. S. Civil Service Commis- | sion, Follows Hatch Program Failure to comply 1s punishable by | & withholding of Federal contribu-| tions to the various Social Security | functions. Thus the Secial Security Board | already has made a start toward) achieving objectives of a bill which Senator Carl Hatch (D. N. M.) proposes to sponsor next session, extending the Hatch Act prohibitions to all state employees whose salaries | are paid in part by Federal funds. | Senator Hatch said he regarded the Social Security action as ‘“‘en-| tirely satisfactory,” but added that] he would prefer to have the restriction written into law. “That would make it more difficult | to remove,” he explained. His bill, now being drafted by Jus- | tice Department attorneys, would apply to such agencies as state highway departments, which, according to the Senator, “are mgqre political than any other state divisions.” The Social Security restrictions apply to state emplovees in old-age-assistance divisions, unemploy= ment - compensation ¢ommissions. | employment service offices and | agencies administering aid to the] blind and to dependent children.| About 35000 of the 100,000 affected |
