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.

(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.
Marshtield. Ore., July 10.
UP) Mr. and Mrs. Lee Pruitt
of Los Angeles had three very
good reasons for In'erruptlng
their Lake Tahkenitch varatlon

other jjlrl. The triplets, the
couple's first children, wen
born at McAuley hospital here.
The births were not expected
for six weeks.

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.

of the Frisbee Lumber com
pany sawmall, a mile and a half

1st Hundred Easiest
Portland The first hundred
years are the easiest with re
spect to using Oregon's land
and other natural resources,
says E. B. MacNaughton, chair
man of the governor's economic
council. Farmers and foresters
of the future must be real hus
bandmen rather than promoters
and exploiters if the state is to
continue properoua, he said.
Range Use High
Of 753.346,730 acres in the
11 western states, slightly more
than SO percent are devoted to
range use only. Less than 14
percent are devoted to other
types of farming. Total income
from agriculture In these states
in 1937 was $1,597,013,123 of
which $555,889,380 came from
livestock and livestock pro
ducts.
