Soviet Russia claims no more territorial demands in Europe

Measure Approved By 58-28 Vote In Hatch Antipolitical Law
Washington U P The senate passed legislation extending the Hatch antipolitical provisions to an estimated 500000 state and local government employees. The 58 to 28 vote moves the bill to the house where Speaker Bankhead expressed opposition. The measure, sponsored by Senator Hatch Democrat New Mexico, limits campaign contributions to 5000 a year and bars state federal employees from using official influence to affect elections. It authorizes the civil service commission to determine political activity and allows withholding of federal funds equal to twice the worker’s annual salary for those who participate in politics, with appeals to the courts. Exemptions include governors, lieutenant governors, mayors, city managers, and heads of state and city executive departments.
