C., March 9â€"The Senate has betn engaged in a rathâ€" er "hot debate" on a bill offered by Senator Carl A, Hatch, (D), of New Mexico to extend the provisions of. the original Hatch Act against poâ€" litical activities of kovcrmim:z emâ€" ployees. It is not an Administrative measure, On the questi_o)x::&m aised by the bill the Jmnfiej ip is itself divided. It has been vigorousâ€" ly supported by Majority Leader Alâ€" ben W. Barkley, of Kentucky, and ‘}jmt as viggrously opposed by the ‘Majority Whip, Sherman Minton, of Indiana. On the first amendment only three votes separated the i“a_yes" from the "nos." On the secâ€" ond, the difference was seven. * The original Hatch Act denounces and prohibits . Federal employees from engaging in "pernicious politiâ€" cal activities." Civil Service emâ€" ployees have long been precluded by law from taking any active part in behalf; of candidates and. political parties. The Hatch Act, in effect, ektends that prohibition to include also those employees who are apâ€" pointed to public office not under the merit system. â€" $ by Ralph E.. Church Representative, 10th Congressional * _‘ District 14 ~â€" The bill now sponsored by the Senator from New Mexico is designâ€" ed to extend the same prohibition to State emyployees where Federal funds are ‘involved. In a word, both the original < Hatch Act. and the pending amendment or supplement are designed to preclude the buildâ€" ing up of a Federal political maâ€" chineâ€"a ‘much needed reform in government. c I do not wish to be unfair to the Senator from Kentucky, Mr. Barkâ€" ley, and to the Senator from Inâ€" diana, Mr. Minton. . It is ‘noneâ€"theâ€" less an interesting fact that the Senator from Kentucky vigorously opposed the Hatch Act during the year he was a candidate for reâ€"elecâ€" tion. He no doubt recognized that a prohibition against political activ= ities by Federal office holders, many of whom were admittedly his recomâ€" mendations, would deny him an imâ€" portant source of campaign assistâ€" ance he felt he should have. Now, apparently, he wishes to make it apâ€" pear ?hat his party believes in the principles of the Hatch Act and last Wednesday delivered a speech with much emphasis in support of. the proposed extension to it. It is also an interesting fact that the Senator from Indiana. (the Maâ€" jority Whip), who has been opposâ€" ing the legislation with equal vigor, ‘is himself a candidate for reelection (this : year. : He is an acknowledged political colleague of Paul V. Mcâ€" Nutt, who, as Governor of Indiana. established the now favous "2% ‘clubs" and a State political machine. Admittedly, legislation such as. the Hatch Act and the pending bill would /deny the Senator from Inâ€" diana ‘the assistance of his political appointees in his campaign. s T BA m‘:tn‘;nmlmhi:mdl:n:w penond 0 y ve | f convinced of the need for the kind of legislation | Senator Hatch has been sponsoring. It strikes at the heart of the "spoils system," where political considerations rather than. ability and competence control the gelection of government employees. In his remarks on the Floor of the Senate, Mr. Hatch pointed out that become a practice to crea ies cocary positions" in order "to provide employment for party workâ€" ors," that "salaries were not closely related to the nature of the work but rather to the requirements of | the political incumbent," that "those who held offices were e*ptct!‘ to | devote a part of their time toward ; the party in elections, and Iofien they gave more hours to partiâ€" This Week in Washington ; may san services than to public duti No one can M‘:‘ \m'flpt “fi,.i' a two pdrg system ‘of, governm nt: and party responsibility is essenfial to the operation of. a democraty, But when a government is made 'ef) + to an agent for a political party rather than as an agent for ,;' whole people, in efficiency and waste inevitably result and democracy @isâ€" integitates.
