Senate Vetoes Hatch Act Coverage By State Workers
The Senate defeated a bid to extend the Hatch Act to state employees paid from federal funds by a 49 to 27 vote. An amendment by Sen. Francis Maloney would have struck the section extending coverage and the Civil Service Commission administration. The defeat likely ensures passage of the extension program, following earlier defeats by proponents against repealing political activity bans for federal employees. Iowa’s senators split on Miller and Adams amendments. Clyde Herring voted for them while Guy M. Gillette voted against. Val entine later said he was not a gubernatorial candidate.
