Hardman Investigated
By u. ). on Hatch Act
Charge in Alexandra

George D. Hardman, former presi-
dent of the Alexandria Central
Labor Union whose fight with an
other labor official attracted national
attention last year, has been in
vestigated by the Civil Service Com
mission in connection with alleged
violations of the Hatch Act in Alex
andria, it was learned today.
MIR. Hardman left Alexandria more
than a year ago when he was trans
ferred by the Government to SANDS
Point, Long Island, where he works
as cabinet maker.
Alfred Klein, chief law officer OF
the commission, said the investiga-
ton was made after he received .
complaint that Mr.. Hardman was
engaged in political activity" dur
ing an election in Alexandria. He
said he could not recall what elec-
ton the complaint involved and
refused to identify the source OF the
complaint. The investigation has
been completed, Mr.. Klein explained,
and action is pending before the
commission. He said he did not
know when the case would be dis
posed of.
The complaint charged that the
one-time Alexandria labor official
had campaigned for votes In an
election and was unduly active on
election day, Mr.. Klein said. The
Hatch Act forbids partisan political
activity on the part OF a Federal
employe, Mr.. Klein pointed out.
Mr.. Hardman was convicted OF
assaulting Fred Kirchner, State
Labor Department inspector, during
an Alexandria Central Labor Union
election. The Alexandria Civil and
Police Court against Mr.. Hardman,
