Action Planned 10 Extend
Hatch Act 10 District

Congress will take. steps next
month to make certain the Hatch
law, restricting political activity
among Federal workers, applies to
employees of the District govern
ment, Senator Hatch, Democrat, of
New Mexico, made known last night.
The New Mexico Senator an
nounced last week that he will work
to extend the Hatch law to State
employees, and it is probable that
any amendment deemed necessary
to cover the local government here
will be incorporated in the meas
ure for the States.
Senator Hatch expressed the be-
lief specific reference to the Dis
trict government was omitted from
the original law by oversight.
One of the main features of the
Hatch law prohibits all except
policy making officials of the Gov
ernment from active participation
in campaigns or on political COM
mittees. While Commissioner Allen
Is acting chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, it
was thought probable that even if
the Hatch Act is extended to the
District, the post of Commissioner
would be classed as a policy making
position.

Hills Resignation
As Farm Credit Head
Expected Today
Official Long at Odds
With Wallace Over
Aeency's Policies

The resignation Of Forest F. Hill
as governor of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration, lender of more than
$1,000, ,000, 900 on agricultural securi-
ties, was expected here today. The
departure would climax a long dis
pute between Gov. Hill and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace over
policies of the organization, which,
at Mr.. Wallace's instance, is being
brought directly under his own su-
pervision'
Reports that President Roosevelt
would issue an order stripping the
agency of its last shred of inde-
pendence and put it completely
under the Agriculture Department
were dismissed as untrue by White
House Secretary Early today. The
Agriculture Department already has
full control of the F. C. A., he

pointed out, as Q result Of the Presi-
dents reorganization moves of last
summer.
Since the reorganization, the r.
c. A. has been allowed to operate
with q good deal of freedom, but
in recent months Secretary Wallace
is said to have become increasingly
unsympathetic with the agency's
policies. Since he is responsible for
its functioning, he felt that he
should have hand in its policy
making and the White House up
holds him in this view, 1t was said.
1t is Mr.. Wallace's idea that the
F. c. A. should be a bureau of his
department under his general su-
pervision and operating in cooper
alton with his other bureaus in de-
veloping the administrations farm
policy. The change in status re-
quires only a note from Mr.. Wal
lace-now on his way to st. Paul,
Mimi, to make a speech tomorrow
night-to Gov. Hill. Rather than
accept q situation which would
bring a change In his policy, Gov.
Hill is expected to resign.

the Nations youth unemployment
problem was being sought by a
group OF prominent industrialists
and educators here today IN a con-
ference called by Federal Security

ment of policy which might point

ing yesterday at the invitation of

mendations, particularly with re-
spect to the proper function of the

ment problem remains critical in

Federal Security Agency head sug-
gested an emphasis on vocational
rather than college preparatory
training in high schools as an aid in
fitting greater number of young
people for positions which exist.
Jobs as semi skilled or unskilled
workers are the destiny of approxi-
mately so per cent of the country's
high school graduates, DR.. Charles

tration education director, esti-
mated.

ference are Henry I. Hartman, for
