SUPPLEMENT TO HATCH ACT NOW READYJR PEN Broadened Legislation Bars Some State, County, City Workers From Folitics Waihlncton, July It. () Tha senate completed congres sional action today on leg Illa tion to restrict political activity by state and local government employee who receive pay out Of federal fund. The measure, which wai aent to the White House by the ten ate'e acceptance of minor house amendments, would broaden the ao-cnUed batch act which al- ready prohibits political activ ' lty on the part of federal em ployes. .' The house had passed the leg islation overwhelmingly yesterday. Both the chief executive and Wendell Vtiilkie. Republican presidential nominee, have en dorsed the measure. It bars political activity by state, coun ty and municipal workers paid In part with federal funds, lim its campaign contributions to $9,000 a person, and places a $3,000,000 top on the ex penditures of political commit tees. Quick Action. With the potent backing of the two party heads, the bill went through the house In less than two days, although in the spring it had been a major con troversy. The final house vote last night was 243 to 122, with 89 Democrats, 132 Republicans nd two progressives favoring enactment. Opposed were 120 Democrats, Rep. Ball (R.-Conn.) and Rep. Marcontonio (A.L-. N.Y.) The legislation supplements the Hatch law, enacted last year, forbidding political activ ity by most federal employes. This year's bill covers many state highway department workers, agricultural agents, nd the like. All workers af fected by the two measures may continue to vote but can not participate In political cam paigns or management. E TOLL IS .1 (Continued from Pag One.) the Italian aerial attack force returned with damage and with wounded crewmen hit by ter rific drum-fire from surface ships. Three Italian planes were lost. By contrast. Sir Andrew Cun ningham, commander-in-chief of the British Mediterranean fleet, reported that his ships suffered not a single casualty. Claim Hood Fired The Italian high command. In belated communique, insisted, however, that Italian bombing planes set fire to the 42,100-ton British battle cruiser Hood, world's biggest warship, scored two bomb hits on the deck of the 22.000-ton aircraft carrier Ark Royal, and two on "another English battleship." The British admiralty issued formal denial. This was apparently the open ing clash of the undecisive bat tie between the British and Hal ian navies for control of the Mediterranean climaxed when the Fascist war fleet reportedly was driven to the shelter of shore defense guns. In the eastern Mediterranean, where Turkey Is mobilising against fears of a Russian coup gainst the Dardanelles, official Soviet quarters Insisted today that Russia has no intention of making any demands on Turkey. There are no reasons for the U. S. S. K. to attempt to gel control of the Dardanelles," a spokesman said. "Our relations with Turkey are good, and the straits are open to us." Three Good Reasons.

New Vork, July 11. IIP) Early rallying tendencies dis played by steels and aircrafts today failed to inspire other stock market groups to any great extent and extreme gains running to two or more points were substantially cut or erased at the close. After the initial upswing, dealings reverted to their slug gish crawl and advances soon began to fade. Ralls kept bal ance notwithstanding a sharp drop in last week's freight load ings due to the holidr.r. Ship ments were well ahead of the same 1938 week.
