More than two million federal Civil Service employees are in a quandary as to their rights to engage in political activity. It should be recalled that the so- called Hatch Act, enacted in 1939, undertook to prohibit federal career employees from participating in political campaigns. The present dilemma results from a recent District court decision holding the Hatch Act to be un­ constitutional. The Hatch Act provides specifically that Civil Service employees are prohibited from taking an active part in "political management or in political campaigns". The original intent of this language was to protect public em­ ployees from involuntary political activities which had been practiced under the earlier so-called "spoils system". Under a bill introduced in this Congress by Rep. Abner Mikva of Illinois, it was proposed to authorize Civil Service em­ ployees to engage in the following activities: (a) to become a candidate for delegate to a political con­ vention, (b) to participate in party conventions and caucuses, (c) to organize political meetings and rallies, (d) to hold membership in political groups, (e) to distribute campaign literature, organize and participate in political parades and become a candidate for nomination or election to any national, state or local political office. The clear impact of this legislation would be to again involve Civil Service em­ ployees in virtually full political activity. The recent Distrct court decision is far narrower than the substantial repeal of the Hitch Act as contained in the Mlcva bill. Indeed, the District cotrt decision drew attention to the more than 3,000 rulings emaciated by the Civil Service commission between 1886 and 1940 which, under the Hatch Act, were forbidden. Many of the prescribed activities would appear to run counter to the First Amendment guarantees of free speech including (a) offensively discussing a political question, (b) disparaging the President, (c) denouncing a politcal party while in a jovial mood due to alcohol, and (d) failing to discourage 1 spouse's political activity. Many federal employee organizations - including the National Association of Letter Carriers which instituted the recent District court case - have been urging legislative action such as that covered in the Mikva bill. However, there continues to be strong public opposition to any new law which would release the politics! energies and enthusiasm of the some two. million federal employeef and their families to engage in all- out political activity. It is even feared that outright repeal of the Hatch Act would revive the discredited "spoils system" which became so flagrant in the administration of President Andrew Jackson. Indeed, it was following that experience that the Congress undertook to limit political activity by career federal employees. It seems clear that some of the rulings of the Civil Service commission regarding political activity go far beyond the in­ tent of the Congress and impair individual freedom in a manner quite inconsistent with the First A m e n d m e n t . S o m e modification of the Hatch Act may be in order. But not the virtual repeal as contemplated by the Mikva Bill. While the District court decision has now been appealed to the Supreme court, a decision from that court is not expected until after the November elections. Meanwhile, the Mikva Bill has been shelved with no action indicated during this Congress. During this period of un­ certainty, it would seem well for Civil Service employees to act discreetly - and to adhere to the spirit of the Hatch Act as intended by the Congres.. Brian Fetzer In Leadership Scout Training Brian Fetzer, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. Fetzer, 3214 N. Cove court, McHenry, is receiving specialized training in Scout leadership at Philmont Scout Ranch and Explorer base in the Rocky Mountains of nor­ theastern New Mexico.
