Civil Service officials Under
stood to Be Interested in
G. 0, P, Solicitation of
Campaign Funds From
Government Employees.
WORKERS ARE ASKED
TO CONTRIBUTE $50
District Attorney Says His
Office viii Take Notice
if Any Law Has Been
Violated - Provisions of
u, S, Statute Set Out.

An investigation Of the solicitation
Of Indianapolis Federal employees for
contributions to the State Repub-
lican campaign fund will be made by
| the United States Civil Service Com
mission. it was indicated today.
Whether letter, signed by Willis
! B. Dye, chairman of the Republican
ways and means committee of In
diana, and sent to employees Of the
internal revenue service, soliciting
donations of $50, is a violation Of the
criminal code Of the civil service law,
will be one Of the questions looked
into, according to Harry NJ. Trimpe,
Indiana7 polls civil service secretary.
IF there has been a violation of
the law this office will certainly take
notice of it, said Homer Elliott,
United States district attorney.
Provisions OF Law
The civil service law provides that
it is unlawful for any Federal en-
ploye to ''be in any manner con-
cerned in soliciting or receiving any
subscription or contribution for any
/ political purpose whatever" and that
mo person shall. in any building
/ or room occupied in the discharge OF
! official duties by any officer-or en-
ploye of the United States--solicft
/ in any manner whatever, or receive
| any contribution of money or any
other thing of value for any political
purpose whatever"
The Supreme Court Of the United
States has held that solicitation by
letter to a Federal employe in a
| Federal Bldg, received and read in
such building comes within the
statute and is a criminal offense.
The penalty provided is a fine of not
over $4,000 or imprisonment for not
over three years, or both. One of
the cases cited is that of Repub-
Iican chairman named Smith who
was indicted for soliciting Federal
employees by letter.
Statute Avoided
The Dye letter, a picture of which
was printed by The Times. probably
escapes criminal provisions because
/ it was addressed to an employe at
a residence instead of at the Federal
Bldg, a Federal official pointed out.
However, the same official cited
the section which would make it an
offense for any Federal official to
supply the home addresses of Fed
eral employees to a person who de-
sired to solicit political contributions.
Warning Is Posted
