' DELEGATE SAYS HATCH ACT BILL MAY PASS SOON WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 — Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond be- lieves there is a “fair” chance that the bill exempting railroad em- ployees from the Hatch Act may be passed in time to allow workers to participate in municipal elections in April. He said there seemed to be no opposition to the measure but that the pressure of work on the Judi- |ciary Committee which has the bill under consideration might delay passage until after the elections. The Hatch Act forbids all gov- ernment employees from partici- | pating in elections. Dimond told reporters that the “bill is meritorious and one should have no difficulty in getting passed ultimate]y, but whether or today|Dot it can be acted upon in time neau last night from a short tri for employees in Alaska to parti- a 20-minute radio speech at 6:30;cipate 'in the municipal elections| By the way—the cat that was p. is uncertain, although there is a fair chance for such action.” it COMPENSATION ACT AMENDMENT FAILS TO PASS Tie Vote Kills Bill that ' Would Make All Em- p|oyefs Liable Representative Jesse D.
