Extension Hatch law proposed in Congress
Washington December 11 Senator Hatch D NM proposed that congress forbid political activities of state employees paid in part with federal funds. The measure would cover highway workers social security staff and others in state agencies funded by federal money. Hatch said the extension faces little opposition and noted the original law already curbed politics in relief. It bans campaign fund solicitation from relief recipients and makes it a felony for a supervisor to influence an employee vote.
