Hatch Bills
Section
Is Approved
Senate Votes Ban
On Stute's Men
On u. S. Payroll

WASHINGToN--The senate.
after days of acrimonious dispute.
Friday voted. ~ to 30. 10 approve
the key section OF Sen. Carl A..
Hatchls amendments 10 the clean
politics lava provision banning
political activity by state employees
paid with federal funds.
The senate action was expected
to bring to an early close the con-
tinuous fire to which the bill has
been subjected for 10 days In the
upper chamber.
The section OF the bill approved
by the senate was the principal
provision of the amendments to the
clean politics law. which was sub
mitted by the author OF the law.
The act. approved by congress
last summer. places similar ban
on political activity by all federal
employees, except high policy-mak-
ing officials.

action. Further debate, hag-
Cling and back-biting is I'M
necessary.
As a practical feature in
connection with county hos
pital operations, city and
county officials both should
give serious consideration to a
city emergency hospital. The
county institutions burden is
heavy enough without having
to care for 80 per cent of the
emergency cases brought in
by police or others. 1t wouldn't
take much outlay to provide
a small emergency hospital
for accident cases in city
hall or public safety hiding.
The police radio-auto setup is
working splendidly. To have
available a city emergency
hospital would increase eff
cheney just that much.

"Pll Be Fair" He Says
, To the clubmen, Cain said, in
part:
My one big job will be to get
along with labor. I'll be so fair
they'll all be on my side"
OF other plans, particularly con-
corning the city charter. he ex-
planned, I'm listen to cross

From dugouts and shelters, hid
