Enforcement in Indiana Throws Democrats Into Tailspin

Trving to Figure Out Just Who Can Campaign.

By NORLE REED Enforcement of the Hatch Clean Politics Act in Indiana has thrown the Democratic Two Per Cent Club officials into

& tailspin.

wr, x w Jo

Thev are not sure just how many state employees must | stop kicking in their monthly stipend to the club or who,

can make campaign speeches.

If the most conservative interpretations of the Jaw

ghould be followed, ‘chest would lose from $5000," to $10,000 in collections every month, Finney Wants to Know

State officials are in such a dilemma over the situation that Prank | Finney, Two Per Cent Club presi-| dent, said he will have to confer with U. 8S. Attbrney General Robert Jackson in Washington next week to find out what's what. The Hatch Act prohibits from active participation in political campaigns all state emplovees whose salaries are paid in part or entirely from funds advanced to state departments by the Federal Government The active participation ban means, among other things, a halt to enforced contributions to campaign funds, and that hits at the verv life blood stream of the Two Per Cent Club,

Await

Samuel Jackson, Indiana Attorney General, has ruled informally that ell state employees connected in any way with those departments receivng Federal funds should stay out of the political picture pending more definite information. Mr. Finney said the whole question revolves around & technical breakdown interpretation of the law We're not sure at present whether the law will effect only those employees whose work is directly connected with projects financed wintly by state and Federal funds or whether it will include every employee of a department receiving anv Kind of Federal grant,” he said.

Roadmen Pay Most

The biggest state unit effected is the State Highway Department, whose personnel during peak months tc ahout 3000 If only the highway workers were relieved from campaign contributions, it would mean a loss of about $6000 monthly to the Two Per Cent Club, because each turns in about $2 a month. Other departments receiving Federal grants include the Health, Public Welfare, Unemployment Compensation and Education departments, National Guard, Purdue University and Indiana State Schodl for the Blind. About 5000 Affected

The Welfare and Unemployment Compensation Departments have heen under the merit system for several vears, and only the highups are permitted to contribute to the Two Per Cent Club. Neither Purdue nor Indiana University officials have heen contributors. If all employees in these departments should he effected, the total number barred from politics could be more than 5000. Tt has been unofficially estimated thet. the Two Per Cent Club collects hetween $125000 and $175,000 snnually. o figures on the collections ever have been made Pe,

Safety Council welt Save ‘Jitters’ Of Drivers Increase With Fighting

CHICAGO, Juty 30 (UJ, P.).—The National Safety Council reported

today that “jitters” over the Euro-| pean war had increased the death toll in U. 8. highways during June | 15 per cent over the same month of 1939. The Jupe increase was the ninth consecutive monthly increase, cor-| responding to the ninth month of | Hitler's advance in Europe. It was the largest increment for any month since the war began and cor-| responded with one of the climaxes of the war, the surrender of France, “The council believes that the nation's habits reflect an attitude of recklessness, preoccupation and confusion of values growing out of the war in Europe,” a statement said. At least 14,700 persons have died on the highways between Jan. 1 and June 30 and 2820 of them were killed in June alone. The June increase was 12 per cent above the May total. Increased travel on the highways 7 per cent greater than during 1939 was reported by the council as A secondary reason for the

mounting toll.
