G. Shepard, M. E. Mon- | | PROVISIONS OF " NEW HATCH ACT ARE EXPLAINED Perm|ssable Polmtal Ac- tivities of Government Employees Defined (Continued fruma Page One) ffiror“ or “employee” shall not be construed to include (1) the Presi- |dent and Vice-President of the | United States; (2) persons whose | compensation is paid from the ap- | propriation for the office of the President; (3) heads and assistant | heads of executive departments; (4) officers who are appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and who determine policies to be pursued by the United States in its relations with foreign powers or in the | nation-wide administration of Fed- |eral law: Defined by President The pertinent provisions of the President’s message to Congress in approving the Hatch Bill are as fol- lows: “It is because I have received and | will continue to receive so many |queries asking what a Geovernment employee may or may not do that it seems appropriate at the outset | to postulate the broad principle that | if the bill is administered in accord | with its spirit, and if it is in the| future administered without abuse, oppression or groundless fear, it will serve the purpose intended by the Congress. “For example, T have been asked by employees of the Government | whether under this law they would | lose their positions if they merely attend political meetings. The an- swer is, of course, ‘No.’ “I have been asked whether they | \\ruld lose their positions if Lhey‘x contributed voluntarily to party or individual campaign funds thhouh | being solicited, The answer is, or‘ course, ‘No. \ Can Express Opinions “I have been asked whether would lose their positions if they should merely express their opin- ion or preference publicly—orally, by radio, or in writing — without |doing so as part of an organized political campaign. The answer is ‘No. “I have been asked if Government employees who belong to Young Re- | publican Clubs, Young Democratic Clubs, Civil Service Reform Asso- ciations, the League of Women Vot- | ers, the American Federation of La- bor, the Congress of Industrial Or- ganizations and similar bodies are subject to the penalties of the meas- ure because of mere membership in these organizations. The answer is ‘No.! “Finally, I have been asked vari- | ous questions relating to the right | of a Government employee publicly to answer unwarranted made on him or on his work or on | the work of his superiors or on the work of his subordinates, notwith- standing the fact that such attacks or misrepresentations were made for political purposes by newspapers or by individuals as a part of a po- | litical campaign. May Answer Attacks “It is, therefore, my considered opinion, in which the Attorney Gen- | eral of the United States joins me, | that all Federal employees, from the | highest to the lowest, have the right publicly to answer any attack or misrepresentation, provided, of | course, they do not make such reply | as part of active participation in political campaigns.” The Attorney General in Df*pmt- mental Circular No. 3285 has ruled | on the Hatch Act as follows: | “Provisions similar to the fore-| going are found in Civil Service Rule 1, Section 1. Many of the questions | and situations currently arising un- der the Hatch Law have previously been considered and ruled upon by | the Civil Service Commission in con- they attacks | by the Civil Service Commission in August 1936, entitled ‘Political Ac< tivities and Political Assessments,’ and are binding upon civil service employees. Penalties and Application “It should be the penalty for violation of Section 9 is removal from office as in the case of the corresponding Rule 1 of the Civil Service Rules, the penalty for violation of Section 2 is a fine of not to exceed $1,000 or imprison- | ment for not more than one year, or both. “The provisions of Section 2 appiy to all persons employed in admini trative positions in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Federal Government, whereas Section 9 applies only to employees of the executive branch. Other pro- visions of the Hatch law relating to the improper use of relief appro- priations for political purposes, in- timidation of voters, and the lik apply té all persons, including em- ployees of state and local govern- ments and private individuals.” SWEENEY SIGNED UP BY STARS Portland Manager to Be!
