Northwestern photo Proxmire comments on Hatch Act reform Sen. William Proxmire gave a Postal Service em- plo.ye some answers the postal worker apparently didn't want to hear during a speaking appearance by Proxmire in Oshkosh Thursday. Proxmire. during a question and answer session following a brief speech he gave on the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh campus. was asked by a man identifying himself as the head of the local postal employes union what Proxmire's positions are on a postal subsidy i a i a i i Hatch Act to give postal workers and other federal government employes their "rights." Provmire responded by saying he was opposed to the bill to "reform" the Hatch Act.

which prohibits partisan political activities by federal He said he arrived at this position after questioning federal employes in Washington about what their opinions on the proposed removal of the Hatch Act re- strictions. Proxmire said about 75 per cent of these employes told him they were against amending the Hatch Act. because they felt it would result in pressures on them to contribute to political candidates. Proxmire. after giving the opinion that the Postal Service is now being run "less competently" than it was before the postal system was reformed, said he "like to see a great deal more competition" for the Postal Service, by authorizing private mail delivery businesses to deliver types of mail which they aren't allowed to carry" now.

Proxmire's speaking app a a i a crowd of about 500 people at Albee Hall, was sponsored by the UW-0 Political Science Society.

Proxmire. while acknowledging the country's recent economic troubles, cited statistics to show the economic progress that the U.S.

has made in recent decades. Proxmire declared. "We ought to develop a sense of confidence that we're on the right track." One area Proxmire mentioned, in which he said there has been major improvement, was the performance of the news media. According to Proxmire. "The competence and quality of the people in the information media is enormously improved." Most of the Proxmire's remarks during the question and answer period centered on his own remedies for the economy.
