Most likely the Civil Service Commission listened and in their 1966 Pamphlet 20, the rule had changed to allow an employee to be a member of a band that takes part in political parades or rallies, but an employee may not help organize the parade. JUSTICE WHITE in his opinion attached a list of these rules of ordinary common sense. The rule on political parades now reads: An employee may not march in a political parade, organize, or be an officer or leader of such a parade. The law marches on. It is not vague and overbroad said the court. But is the line so neatly drawn between public employees and others? An interesting blurring of the margin entered when discussing the Hatch Act with Joseph (Mike) Moriarty, an engineer with the TRW company office located at Hill AFB. Mike is a former fighter pilot with the Air Force and a major in the Air Force reserve. 6-- This Is Kiwanis Week - ClearCLEARFIELD field Mayor Neldon Hamblin has proclaimed the week of Jan. 17-2- as 3 THE FIRST course will be held Jan. 28, featuring Dr. Bruce Burtenshaw, a physician at the Tanner Memorial Clinic in Layton.

I have not given a lot of thought on the ramifications of the law, but I see no conflict with public policies at the state level. Theres no problem when they ran for local offices.

Senator Carl Hatch had the answer, deposit the definition with the commissions years of accrued rules under Rule I. rThe 1973 Supreme Court apparently paid no liJ attention to a survery made in 1967 by a special congressional commission established to review the political laws affecting public employees. This commission sent questionnaires to public employees on the Hatch Act. They found that only 64 percent of those polled understood five of ten rules restricting political activity, 35 percent understood six of ten, and no one understood more than eight. There are over 3,000 administrative rulings covering political activitiy. re- 60-9- YES, HE had heard of the Hatch Act. The military has its own regulations that read almost like it. The public might get a little uptight if the military takes sides in a partisan election, but I dont think a civilian should be denied public office just because he is a federal or state employee. Im sure there are some unique circumstances when an employee could be cornered in a conflict of interest. ' Take the case of ajudge who disqualifies himself from a case because of some conflict of interest so should the public employee be given the same opportunity but not a complete denial of his political rights. IN THE 3 majority opinion, Justice Byron White said that the Civil Service Commissions rules defining political activity are plain enough that the ordinary person exercising ordinary common sense can sufficiently understand. These rules or regulations were developed under Pres. Theodore Roosevelts now famous Rule I. When the Hatch Act became law in 1939 no central enforcement agency had been designated. Considering this failing, the Congress in 1940 placed enforcement with the U.S. Civil Service Commission even upon the states. munications in Layton, ACCORDING TO Karla Johnson, Davis Norths education coordinator who planned the classes, the courses are designed to initially bring people together. Those attending will later elect their own slate of officers and plan their own programs with the help of the hospital personnel and area physicians.

A divided three-judg- e court had declared the definition of political activity both statutory vage and overbroad, therefore the Hatch Act was unconstitutional.

ANOTHER QUESTIONED, How many leaders does a parade have?.. .Is this the fellow with the JUSTICE HUGO Black, dissenting, said that laws which restrict First Amendment liberties should be narrowly drawn to meet the evil aimed at and to effect only the minimum number of people imperatively necessary to prevent a grave and imminent danger to the public. Citing recent decisions that had placed increasing emphasis on First Amendment rights especially as applying to public employees, the court said, a revolution has occurred in the law relative to the states power to limit federal First Amendment rights.

Since passage of the federal Hatch Act and all the little Hatch Acts, the issue has been in the courts most e . cry year. The Constitutional issues raised by public employees are: a denial of First Amendment rights of free speech and of assembly, a deprivation of property and liberty without due process of law under the Fifth and 14th Amendments, a violation of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments by usurping the powers reserved to the people and to the states, and a denial of equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.
