Opponents Still
Block Hatch Bill
(Continued from page 1)
ing opponent of the measure, un
loosed a bitter attack upon the
republican membership which
has voted almost solidly with the
advocates of the bill. The re
publicans, he said, were trying
to "Hatch-act the democratic
Part out of Washington."
Previously, after charges of a
filibuster had been made and
denied. Senator Barkley (D-Ky)
tried to obtain unanimous con
sent that the Hatch bill be put
to a vote tomorrow at 5 p. m.
After a full half-hour of parlia
mentary sparring. Senator Bailey
(N-NC) objected, saying he
thought the bill "objectionable."
One amendment came to a
vote during the day, which also
showed the pro-Hatch group in
command. This was on an
amendment by Senator Brown
(D-Mlch) to forbid political ac
tivity to officers of corporations,
receiving salaries of 125,000 a
year or more, which have gov
ernment contracts or received
tariff benefits.
The opponents of the Hatch
bill flocked to its support In the
hope that if it were written into
the bill, its presence would alien
ate the republican membership.
But they were beaten 53 to 81.

I know Camels burn slower," "Bucky" says. "There's cool comfort in a alow
