Opposition Develops To Relax Provisions Of Act
Washington June 16 strong senate opposition formed against a bill relaxing Hatch Act limits on partisan activity by federal workers. Critics including McKellar Taft Humphrey object to provisions easing penalties and letting workers near Washington engage in local politics. The measure would allow 30 day suspensions and extend political participation to Maryland Virginia locals, with Oak Ridge opposition and concerns over records access. Senate vote was delayed to next Wednesday.
