Political Activity

Plans were completed by House
leaders last night to give the right
of way Tuesday to a Senate-ap-
proved bill amending the Hatch
political practices law-changes that
will class virtually all of the A.
500 employees of the District govern
ment with employees of a State in
SO far as participation in 'pernicious
political activity" is concerned.
The only specific exemptions To-
cally are the three Commissioners
and the recorder of deeds.
The bill is to be called up under
special rule limiting debate to
four hours. A vote is expected

Heavy Penalty Provided.
AS passed by the Senate and ap-
proved by a majority of members
of the House Judiciary Committee

exempt shall be faced with a penalty
of not more than a fine of $1,000 ol
year in Jail who:

There is a provision in the bill
which hberalizes the restrictions of
the original Hatch Act against po-
litical activities of Federal employees

Virginia to take part in local COM
munity elections and even hold
Office.

House Expected
10 Ignore D. {.
Bills Tomorrow
All Nine on Calendar
Are CIussed as
Controversial
By JAMES E, CHINN.

Although House leaders arranged
yesterday to set aside tomorrow for
consideration of District legislation
there is little likelihood any of the
nine local bills on the calendar will
be called up because of their con-
troversial nature.
Chairman Randolph of the Dis
trict Committee, out of the city for
the week end, could not be reached
for an explanation of his plans. But
since the nine bills have been on
the calendar for some time, there
are indications he will not make any
effort to have them considered.
Would Give Right of Way.
At the Office of Majority Leader
Rayburn it was said the right OF
way would be given District legisla-
tion If Representative Randolph de-
sired to call up any of the nine
bills. In recent weeks, however
House leaders requested Mr.. Ran
dolph not to bring up any local leg
islation that would likely lead to q
prolonged debate.
Heading the list of the so-called
controversial" bills long ready for
House action is one authorizing the
Public Utilities Commission to re-
duce the number of taxicabs in op-
Grafton in Washington. Next is a
measure sponsored by Representa-
tive Schultz, Democrat, of Indiana
which would open the local milk
market to milk and cream produced
in any section of the country. Intro
duced at the close of the milk in
vestigation year ago, this measure,
according to Mr.. Schultz, would end
the "monopolistic" control of Wash
ington's milk supply by organized
producers in Maryland, Virginia and
parts of West Virginia.
Other Bills on Calendar.
Other bills on the House calendar
which could be considered follow:
l. Providing for reorganization of
the municipal government in the
interest of efficiency and economy.
2. Permitting minors IA years of
age or over to take part in profess
slonal concerts and theatrical pro-
ductions.
3. Authorizing the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board to control the
retail price of liquor.
4. Amend existing law regulating
insanity proceedings.
S. Tighten existing law regulating
the practice of optometry.
6. Regulating professional engi-
neers.
Z. Prohibiting the sale of convict
made goods in the District.
A national bill to prevent ship
ment Of prison-made commodities
In interstate commerce already has
passed the House and is awaiting
Senate action. Chairman King OF
the Senate District Committee in
tends to seek an amendment to this
measure to allow the municipal
government to continue to use brick,
automobile tags and traffic signs
produced in the industrial rehabili-
tation shops at the District Reform
atory at Lorton, Va.
