POLITICAL ACTIVITY AUTHORITY BROAD U. S. Workers in Arlington | May Seek Any County Office. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staft Correspondent of The Star ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT | HOUSE, Va, May 22—No occurrence | of recent months has caused as much | interest as that action yesterday by President Hoover in issulng an execu- | tive order permitting the entry into | local politics of Federal employes re- | siding in Arlington County. ‘The order is of more far-reaching effect than had been anticipated by those sponsoring it, since it permits | Tederal employes to become candidates for any office in the county. Members of the Civil Service Committee of the Arlington County Civic Federation, who prepared and presented the petition to President Hoover some months ago, had expressed the opinion that the political privilege would be granted only to per- sons running for the new County Boar Must Resign if Elected. ‘While the provision is made that any person elected to a “full-time” office | must resign {rom the Government serv- | ice, the order permits Government em- ployes to bieome candidates for these offices. Hesce they may announce themselves, conduct their campaigns and, if defeited, still retain their gov: ernmental pusitions. Just what this will result in political | Jeaders are as yet unable to predict, but it can and may result in announce- ments for any one of the following offices, for which elections are being {a new billing period begins held this yea: Commonwealth’s attorney, judge of | the county court, commissioner of reve- | nue, treasurer and sheriff. The offices | of member of the House of Delegate: and State Senate are, of cours, Stat offices, and Federal employes would not | be permitted, under the order, to con- duct campaigns for either while still | employed by the Government. The office of county clerk is not open this year, this official serving an eight-year | { term. ‘Not Full-time Job. ‘The only position to which Govern- ment employes may aspire and still re- tain their positions under the United States civil service is that of member | of the new County Board. The order | provides that a part-time position may | be held if it do not interfere with | the work of the Federal employe hold- ing it, and since the act under which the board will function provides for but two regular meetings monthly it is ex- pected that there will be little interfer- eence, fally in view of the 30 days’ annual jeave to which Federal employes | are entitled. ‘William C. Hull of Leeway, an em- | ploye of the Civil Service Commission and former president of the WArlington County Civic Federation, was the first to teke advantange of the executive order. He announced his candidacy Jast night for the County Board. This is expected to be followed by numerous others within the next few days.
