Civil Service Commission Proposes
Employment of Physically Handicapped
WASHINGTON—Thousands of
jobs in arsenals and navy yards
and other Government industrial
establishments can be filled by
pl ally handicapped with effix
ciency and safety, the United
States Civil Service Commission
reported last we The Com-
mission’s findings, based on an
extensive survey of thousands of
positions in most of the im-
portant Federal industrial estab-
lishments throughout the coun-
try, have been summarized in an
operating manual which will be
made available to Federal per-
sonnel officers and others en-
ved in placement, training, and
recruiting for the Federal Civil
service, The manual issued by
the Comn lists more than
1,300 positions that can be filled
by persons with various phys
handicaps.
The objectives of the
sion in making the sur
two:
1, To help marshal effectively
the services of women and physi-
cally handicapped in the Govern-
ment war program in the face of
manpower shortages.
2. 'To gain experience in place-
ment of physically handicapped
which can be used in placing dis-
abled yeterans and industrial
workers during and after the war.

Draft DefermentEnds for Gov tEmployees
But How About Navy Yard Workers?
WASHINGTON, — In a move
that took even his closest ad-
visors completely by surprise,
President Roosevelt last week an-
nounced that Government employ-
ment no longer would be con-
sidered good reason for defer-
ment from the draft.
Also, he ordered that
ments already granted
mediately be cancelled,
The President said he realized
that some employees, mainly high-
ly-speciali pnical and scien-
tifie are “really
replaceable.” But indications
were that such cases would be
very few.
He asked that all future requests
for deferments be referred direct-
ly to him.
‘The President also put a tem-
porary stop to the enlistment of
U. 8. employees in the armed
fore
Government _ officials, caught
flat-footed by the President's an-
nouncement, were still seeking
clarification at week’s end. Some
thought they saw in it the begin-
ning of the end of the system of
occupational deferments—both for
Government and private indus-
try, Others raised questions
about the status of the many thou-
sands of draft-age employees in
arsenals and Navy yards,
Although the President did not
so indicate, there is every reason
to believe that these employees
will get the
defer-
im-
comparable employees in private
industry.
Here is the text of the Presi-
dent's memorandum
ment head:
“Tam anxious to make sure that

same treatment as’
no man should be deferred from

spective jurisdiction, would you
please arrange for cancellation

Pay Raise Bill Awails
Poll Tax Settlemen!
WASHINGTON.—The Govern-
ment pay adjustment bill had to,
mark time last week while South-
ern Senators filibustered against
the poll tax bill.
Meantime, Senator James
Mead, New York, still was ready
to bring the pay bill before the
Senate “at the very first oppor-
tunity.” And he reportedly had
the assurance of Majority Lead-
er Alben Barkley that the
measure will get a green light.
Senator Mead was quoted as say-
ing he thinks the pay bill will
pass the Senate. But the opinion
is almost universal here that every
day of delay reduces its chances,
Reason is that Congress appears
to be adopting an increasingly
critical attitude toward the execu

In the back-rooms of Station
Houses throughout. the City to-
day nooses are being prominent-
ly displayed for the benefit of
those patrolmen who were unsuc-
cessful in the Police Sergeant's
examination. This broad display
of humor provided an outlet for
the pent-up emotions of patrol-
men who have been eagerly
awaiting the publication of the
new Sergeant list.
The LEADER today publishes
the new Sergeant list. The list
includes the names of’ the 1,203
successful candidates for Ser-
geant, The number of candidates
who failed reached 6,075. Notices
have been sent to all successful
and unsuccessful candidates.
You Can” Review Fapers
All candidates may now inspect
their examination papers by call-
ing at the Record Room of the
Civil Service Commission, 96 Du-
ane Street, New York City, daily
between 10 a.m, and 12 noon and
between 2 p.m, and 4 p.m. Any
candidate may appeal from his
rating and request the re-rating
of his examination paper by writ-
ing the Civil Service Commission
within sixty days from the date
of the official promulgation of the
list, waich is given as November
23, 1942. Papers of passing candi-
dates won't be available for in-
spection until Friday,
Appointments
An undetermined number of ap-
pointments is expected to be made
within a short time but the num-
ber is not expected to be any-
where near the 110 vecancies that
exist for the position at present.
‘The shortage of over 1,200 patroi-
men in the Department makes the
appointment of the full quota of
Sergeants unnecessary, according
to the sentiment of the Mayor and
the Police Commissioner. It is
also felt that every appointment of
a patrolman to the position of
%
sergeant increases the numerical
deficiency of patrolmen by an-
other one.
The publication of the Sergeant
list today climaxes 21 months of
activity in connection with this
promotion examination. Applica-
tions were originally filed between
February 4 and February 26, 1941.
Because the number of applicants
was considerably below the ex-
pected total, the application dates
were reopened from March 24 to
March 26, 1941,
‘The entire number who filed for
the examination was 7,591, The
written test was held on June 14,
1941,
‘The test itself was generally con-
ceded to by the most difficult one
ever given for the position of ser-
geant in the history of the Police
Department. It was compared in
this respect to the lieutenants’ ex-
amination held in November, 1939.
That lieutenants’ examination was
so difficult that the element of
seniority was virtually eliminated,
As a result, the lieutenants ap-
pointed from the last list were
the youngest men, as a group, to
achieve that rank,
Small Number Participated
There were two reasons for the
small number of patrolmen_par-
ticipating in this sergeants’ ex-
amination, One was the new
twenty-year retirement law which
remoyed the incentive for promo-
tion for many patrolmen, especial-
ly those with 15 or more years on
the job. The second reason was
the belief of many of these men
that the examination was going to
be easier for the younger men.
This was the first examination in
which patrolmen with only one
year in the Department were per-
mitted to participate.
Who May Expect Appointment
‘The list of 1,203 names can be
divided into three parts. The first
part of 400 names can be said to
be definitely "in the money.’
This group has every right to ex-
New Police Sergeant List
pect appointment before the ex-
piration of the list in four years.
The second part, consisting of
those between 400 and 600 on the
list, can be called the ‘uncertain’
group. This group inay or may
not be reached for appointment,
depending on the numerous fac-
tors that will determine the num-
ber of appointments to be
made jn the next four years. The
third group, those below 600 on
the list, can be called the :
victory" group, These patrolmen
should not expect appointments
(except for a possible few around
600) but have the consolation that
they hit the list. But, as one pa-
trolman in this latter group so
inctly put it, ‘There are no
‘al victory’ sergeants in the
Department."
Plainclothesmen?
When the possibility of appoint-
ments from the list is discussed,
what must not be overlooked is
the opportunity that many of the
men on the list may have to be-
come plainsclothesmen. The use
of this list for that purpose has
a long and interesting history.
The very week in which the ex-
amination for Sergeant was held--
as a matter of fact, this was a
basis for one of the essay ques-
tions on the examination — the
Amen Grand Jury in Brooklyn
recommended the use of the Ser-
geant list for the appointment
of plainclothesmen, This recom-
mendation secms to have been dis+
regarded by the Police Depart-
ment until April, 1942 when, as
a result of a shake-up of virtually
all the plainclothesmen in the
city, Mayor LaGuardia stated that
the Amen recommendation would
be adopted as soon as the list was
published which, he said, would bo
May 15th. The Mayor, it can now
be safely revealed, was just six
months out of the way.
In the event that the list is to
be used for plainclothes details,
it is unknown at present on what
basis these appointments would be
made, If the regular merit sys-
tem is used and the men appoint
ed as their names appear on the
list, there would be a constant
turnover of plainclothesmen which
might impair the efficiency to a
point that would render their ser
ices of no great value. Every
plainclethesman needs a few
months in which to learn his job
and under the system of appoint-
ing them in the order in which
they appear on the Sergeant ‘st
a few months is all any plain-
clothesman would be able to serve,
An alternative method of appoint-
ing plainclothesmen weuld he 19
use the list as a roster from which
appointment could be made of
men qualified to act as plain-
clothesmen irrespective of their
position on the list.
It is the opinion of many men
in the Police Department, includ-
ing men of the rank of Inspector
that the whole Amen-LaGuardia
plan to use the list for plain-
clothes details will quietly be for-
gotten or “‘scotched.”” From con+
versations with high administra-
tive officials, howev it can
definitely be stated that the May-
or has not changed his mind on
this subject and that the present
indications are that plainclothes-
men will be appointed from tha
list as soon as the administrative
details are ironed out. (Complete
list on page 10.)

other exclusive and authoritative
story on the new Sergeant lst,
of interest to every successful and
unsuccessful candidate, will be

New Promotion Setup
For Correction Officers
The way is now open, Council-
man Anthony J. DiGiovanna told
The LEADER this week, for giv-
ing correction: officers “a fair
break.”
Councilman DiGiovanna this
week got through Council a bill
providing for orderly, systematic
promotions from a title in one
rank to the next higher rank in
the department. In this fashion,
the Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission will be prevented from
permitting individuals not posses-
as a member of the
uniformed force from comp:ting
in promotion exams for super-
visory titles and ranks.
No change in any grade or ticle
is proposed in the bill; moreover,
every title currently exists,
One Entrance F
Another important feature of
the measure is that it calls for
the holding of entrance exams
only for the office of correction
officer,
This is to correct a condition
that has grown out of the failure
sing se
of the Commission to provide a
list of eligibles interested in mak-
ing prison work a career. (The
Commission hasn’t held an exam
since 1936, incidentally), That is,
those on police and firemen's lists
have obtained correction officers’
job as stepping stones to other
fields of public service.
“The present system,” said Mr.
DiGiovanna, ‘‘is totally unsuited
for securing the kind of personnel
needed to perform the dangerous
duty of prison officer with effi-
cieney and courage, In short, all
this is tantamount ‘to recognition
of prison officers as a uniformed
force with the prestige that goes
with it. What's more, an appoint-
ing officer will now be limited to
the use of lists required by law.
Nor will this affect the powers of
the Commission to hold and de-
termine examinations, except in
an indirect manner.”
Added Mr. DiGiovanna: ‘When
this bill goes through the Board
of Estimate and is passed through
the Mayor's office, it will increase
the morale of the members of the

City Officials
Prepare Fete for
Credit Union
The Municipal Credit Union,
largest in the country, is to cele-
brate its twenty-fifth anniversary,
On Wednesday, January 20, 1943,
at Hunter College, Park Avenue
at 68th Street, the annual meeting
will be held.
The president, William Reid,
City Collector, has appointed a
committee to take charge of the
ceremonies and educational pro-
gram, Harry R, Langdon, a di-
rector and officer, will act as
chairman, and will have with him
on the committee, three other di-
rectors, William Jerome Daly of
the Board of Transportation; Pat-
rick W. Harnedy, president of the
Police Benevolent Association and
a newly elected director, and John
J. McCarthy, chief of the Fire De-
partment. Mr. Langdon is chief
fiseal officer of the Department
of Sanitation.
‘The membership of the Munici-
pal Credit Union numbers over
28,000, and includes employees
from the City, State and County
offices residing in New York City.
The Municipal Credit Union is
now entering its second war pe-
riod and has weathered two de-
pressions, Thus the program
arranged for Wednesday, January
20, will feature the many changes
that are required because of gov-
ernmental regulations controlling
credit activities.
All Civil Employees
All board members are Civil
Service employees of long stand-
ing, serve without compensa-
tion and are men of experience

Councilmen Hit
Low Wages in
City Hospitals
What’s the answer to the ter-
rific shortage of attendants and
helpers in the Department of Hos-
pitals? Sort of becoming an old
problem but one increasingly
dangerous in view of the war
situation, you learn.
Councilman Louis Cohen blames
Mayor LaGuardia for much of
the dilemma,
“If the Mayor had seen to it
that Hospital Department salaries
for attendants and helpers were
at a decent level some time ago,
they wouldn't be having such a
helluva time getting replacements
today,” he told The LEADER.
Mr. Cohen pessimistically
pointed out that “it is, as a
matter of fact, too late to do any-
thing about raising those scales
today. Since they're going to take
in aliens, apparently they intend
to keep the wages low.”
Councilman William A, Carroll
warned that ‘‘the problem is
reaching a terrible state." Said
he: “The introduction of aliens
into hospital jobs means pre-
serving a° low wage scale and,
at the same time, wiaking it more
difficult for the boys in the armed
services to get these jobs back.”
He expressed fear that, despite
the duration setup of the aliens-
to-the-rescue situation, the ‘prob-
ability is that these people will be
blanketed into civil service jobs
and made non-replaceable even
after the war ends. Now, what
do you think the boys who are
fighting for us and have a chance
of coming back to get those jobs
at increased scales are going to
think about that?”
Councilman Anthony J, DiGio-
vanna, who introduced the bill in
the City Council permitting aliens
to accept jobs in the Department
of Hospitals as attendants and
helpers, pointed out that ‘these
people are only going to be there
for the duration, So why worry
about the post-war situation? Of
course, as to raising the scale “of
wages, for aliens as well as those
who are to replace them later,
that’s quite another thing, There
I agree 100 per cent with Council-
man Carroll.”
Civil Service Bills
Pending i
Here are additional bills pending
in the City Council's Civil Em-
ployees’ Committee (The LEAD-
ER_started a roundup last week
of all current legislation) :
Benefits for War Workers
Int, No, 17-~-Providing that civil
service workers engaged in war
work as air raid wardens or fire
auxiliarymen or switchboard op-
erators, etc., shall be paid out of
the City's pension fund if injured
in line of duty as a result of ac-
cidents growing out of the emer-
gency.
Minimum Scales
Int. No. 140—Offering that City
appointees solected from a com-
petitive civil service eligible list
to a post in the competitive class
are to receive at least the mini-
Appointed After
Death of List?
What is the status of typists ap
pointed after their eligible list had
terminated?
The Municipal Civil Service
Commission this week ruled that
these appointments are valid even
though the typist list was termi-
nated before the appointments ac:
tually were effected.
Ordinarily, it is the Commis-
sion’s practice to cancel certifica-
tions which have not been dis-
posed of by the departments at
the time an eligible list is termi-
nated. However, in this case the
Commission decided to approve
these appointments because of the
delay in determining whether the
new list for this position should
* be promulgated.
‘Those eligibles on the old typist
list who weren't reached for cer
tification can no longer be con-
sidered for appointments form
that list,
Council
mum wage fixed by civil service
for the grade to which they are
appointed.
Sanitation Salaries
Int, No. 186—Providing that em-
ployees appointed as sanitation
man, class B, be paid not less than
$1,920 per annum, that employ-
ees appointed as sanitation man,
class C, be paid not jess than
$2,040 per annum, for a maximum
calendar year of 313 days.
Patrolman List
Int. No, 187—Providing for the
extension of the eligible list for
patrolman, P.D., promulgated Oc-
tober 4, 1939, for a period of not
less than a year nor more than
four years from October 4, 1942,
in the discretion of the Municipal
Civil Service Commission,
To Consolidate
Welfare Lists:
The Municipal Civil Service
Commission at its meeting this
week decided to consolidate so
cial service promotion lists in the
Department of Welfare.
‘This action by the Commission
parallels recent action regarding
establishment of Welfare centers
comprising social workers from
all divisions of the Department of
Welfare,
In the past, the various divisions
of the Welfare Department, such
as Old Age Assistance and Child
Welfare, functioned separately, In
view of the consolidation of these
divisions, however, the Commis-
sion felt it was no longer neces-
sary to establish separate promo-
tion rosters,
For those positions in the Divi:
sion of Child Welfare, the Com-
mission stated that selective cer-
tification could be used to fill the
positions from the undivided pro-
motion lists,

intends to argue vehemently for
War Labor Board jurisdiction’ in
the pending dispute between the
Board of Transportation and the
union over a proposed 16 percent
wage increase for 32,000 civil
service workers in the city’s uni-
fied transit system.
‘The unicn’s group, which will be
headed by Michael J, Quill, inter-
national president, and Douglas
L. MacMahon, president of the
local, will insist that WLB activ-
ity in the case is in the interest
of the war effort. Moreover, it is
preparing a careful statement de-
tailing the wartime responsibility
of labor in connection with the
strike phase of its rights.
Meet December 9
‘The group is to meet at,a War
Labor Board public hearing De-
cember 9 in Washington. The same
day, the Board will hold a hear-
ing in connection with its juris-
diction to intervene in a salary
dispute between a Newark, N.
city department and its civil ser
ice employees.
Mayor LaGuardia during the
past week attacked the right of
civil service employees to strike
against the city and held that the
War Labor Board has absolutely
no jurisdiction over disputes be-
tween cities and other govern+
mental agencies and their civil
service employees regarding
wages, hours and working condi-
tions. Other officials disputed
King Asks Mayor
To Grant Right
Of Organizing
In a letter to Mayor LaGuardia,
the New York District of tho
State, County and Municipal
Workers of America, CIO, yester-
day called upon the Mayor to
promulgate an exceutive order
which would guarantee to City
employees the right to organize
and to be represented by organ-
izations of their own choosing.
The letter which was sent by
James V. King, secretary-treas-
urer, pointed out that the City
Council had unanimously adopted
a report of the Committee on Civil
Employees on Bill No. 212 waich
would have made such rights
matter of law. The report rec:
ommended that the bill be filed
(see page 3), but stated that the
rights were presently being de-
nied, that the employees were en-
titled to have such rights and re-
quested the Mayor to issue an ex-
ecutive order,
King said in part: “Such orders
are now in effect in the Federal
Government and in the New York
State Government,” and “it is our
considered judgment that the
establishment of such a policy in
all New York City departments
would add to the efficiency of
these departments, lift the morale
of the employees tremendously
and thereby increase the contri+
butions that New York City em-
ployees could make to the war ef-
fort."
‘The letter ended by stating that
the National CIO Convention, the
New York State ClO and’ the
Greater New York Industriai
Union Council had all unanimous-
ly supported the position of the
State, County and Municipal
Workers of America with respect
to Its request for establishment
of these rights,

Saturday, thus to some slight ex-
tent alleviating the manpower

roup Insists
LB Hear Its Grievance
the Mayor's arguments, pointing
out (1) that the right to strike is
not involved; (2) that there is no
law preventing the WLB from tak-
ing jurisdiction; (3) that em-
ployees who have no other re-
course must go to the WLB for
redress; (4) the Mayor's laxness
in setting up some kind of em-
ployer - employee machinery to
handle such cases in the city is
in part responsible for the present
situation,
While the Mayor was making
his attack, a delegation from the
Transport Workers Union was
meeting with William H, Davis,
WLB chairman, in an attempt to
convince the board it should in-
tervene in the dispute between
union and Transportation Board.
When Mr. Davis called a public
hearing, Mr, MacMahon issued a
statement stressing that the union
hopes ‘‘to prove that the only way
to obtain an equitable and just
settlement of this dispute, which
is of so much consequence to the
health, morale and welfare of the
people of Now York City, is for
the board to assume such author:
ity’ and to take jurisdiction,
Citizens’ Committee Formed
At the same time, Professor
Herman A. Gray, of New York
University, announced formation
of a citizens’ committee to “aid
in the settlement of the New York
City transit dispute.” Prof, Gray
is secretary of the group, which
has headquarters at 551 Fifth Ave-
nue, Manhattan, and which |

Marsh on City
Manpower Board
Mayor LaGuardia last week an-|
nounced appointment of a local}
manpower commission whose
business is to place before local
draft boards requests for defer-
ment of essential employees. He
held that the city's ‘‘essential”
services are being seriously im-
paired by the toss of highly
trained personnel to the armed
forces,
The Commission may, later on,
deal with the problem of brir.ging
the Federal Manpower Commis-
sion to retain key city workers
in their places instead of permit-
ting them to leave city service
for private employment, according
to the Mayor's ideas,
The local commission consists of
Newbold Morris, Councilmanic
President, who heads it, as well
as Budget Director Kenneth Day-
ton, and Harry W. Marsh, presi-
dent of the Municipal Civil Serv-
ice Commission,
‘The Mayor's announcement wa
revealed at a City Hall conference
attended by Selective Service
head Col. Arthur W, McDermott
and heads of city departments.
“Essential departments repre-
sented at the conference, among
others, were Police, Fire, Health,
Water Supply, Transportation,
Hospitals, Public Works, Sanita:

Few Employees Ask
Deferment in Draft
ALBANY — Although execu-
tives of state departments we
admonished this summer, by
Washington representative of Se-
lective Service to request de’
ment of essential employees
called in the draft, there has
been little effort to stop the drain
of manpower into the armed
forces.
Most department heads have
found that deferments, where
they are obtainable, are good
only for about six months, a
period far too short to train
equally qualified substitutes.
“T found no department making
any particular effort to hold
potential draftees in their
jobs," said a high official of the
Civil Service Department. ‘In my
own case 1 lost two directors of
my technical staff in five months,
I have found by experience, by
discreet inquiry, that the men
summoned in the draft are not
interested in deferment, I have
found a growing sentiment that
the employee for whom some
claim might be made for defer-
State
ment as essential in his position,
prefers to get into uniform,"
About 4,000 State employees are
now in the armed services, This
figure includes several women
who have joined the WAAC or
the WAVES.
Health, Mental Hygiene C-ippled
Most seriously crippled depart
ments, of course, are Health
and Mental Hygiene, A repre-
sentative of Mental Hygiene said:
“The drain of manpower into the
avmed forces is affecting us very
seriously, I speak not only of the
loss in attendants und similar em-
ployeos but of the loss of physi-
cians, About 115 of our medical
staff have left. We have certified
to the Office of Procurement and
Assignment of the McNutt Man-
Power Division what our absolute
minimum is and must he, We are
still within the minimum, We
have not Jost any superintendents
or first assistants, Both are
deemed essential, But we have
lost some mon in the higher
grades of the medical service, like
senior and assistant physicians.”
The Health Department report-
ed a similar situation, ‘The drain-
age of physicians is about in the
same proportion as from the
ranks of community medical serv-
foes, Many doctors in the State's
tuberculosis hospitals are men
who were once patients, victims
of the disease they now fight,
They are not regarded as good
army risks and hence have not
been called, ‘The Health Depar
ment is urging that when physi-
cians are called from public
health duties they be assigned to
some comparable work in the
armed forces. The department is
now ‘scraping bottom’? with no
qualified substitutes in night,
Less Crippling Elsewhere
Of the other agencies, like
Coirection, Public Health, Con-
servation, the drainage continues
on a less crippling basis, however,
Worst hit probably is the Division
of State Police which is continu-
ing to lose men with no prospect
whatever of replacements al-
though “duration appointments”
are obtainable at a very minimum
in qualifications.
The key to the situation seems
to be the comment of the Civi.

“Duration Jobs” for
State Appointees:
ALBANY. — Fewer than 250
persons qualified and participated
in last Saturday’s series for State
and county jobs, a new low in the
number of applicants.
The situation gives point to a
problem confronting the State
Civil Service Department, to wit:
how long and to what extent will
open-competitive examinations be
conducted with their large initial
cost to taxpayers in view of the
State-wide lack of interest? It is
not now regarded as probable
that future examinations will’be
suspended, although some
sion of that has been undertaken.
One of the oddities of the situa-
tion is that while comparatively
few indicated a willingness to
compete for the numerous excel-
lent positions on the list, the num
ber of ‘duration appointments’”
continues to increase,
Duration Appointments
These “duration appointments"?
are authorized by the Civil Service
Commission under various rules
and vegulations—applying to the
filling of vacancies of those ab-
sent on military leave or who take
a leave to go into Federal service
or war production plants, or for
other reasons, including illness.
Where no list exists or where a
canvass of the list fails to produce
A willing appointee or where the
job is of such a nature that an
examination for it is deemed im-
practical, the appointing officer is
empowered to make a ‘duration
appointment''—for the duration of
the war and six months there-
after, But there is no protection
against removal for any of these
appointees, something that few of
them probably realize since they
believe they are getting a job good
for the war's duration at least,
and generally without competitive
examination,
he number of so-called ‘“dura-
tion’ appointments is running as.
high as 50 a day and this in view
of the apparent lack of interest in
the competitive examinations un-
der which permanency of appoint:
ment are assured
When Dewey Came In
With the turn-over in top per-
sonnel sure to occur after January
1 when the Dewey-Republican
regime takes over, there will be a
ne. crop of appointing officers in
State service, They can if they so
desire dispense with the ser
of the previously appointed ‘dur-
ation’’ appointees, and according
to the law division of the Civil
Service Department, there is noth-
ing to prevent them from so doing.
Nobody of course knows to what
extent this will occur if at all and
those now filling “duration ap-
ices
pointments" should not be unduly
alarmed, It is mentioned here
as a possibility, not as a pro-
With the personnel situa-
tion as it is — desperate —is un-
likely that new appointing officers
will upset their own routine and
the ciency of their depart
ments by wholesale or even mod
erate dismissals,
‘The test for labor relations ex-
aminer which was scheduled for
Saturday was not conducted at all.
Tt has been postponed because
preparations were not completed
and as soon as the questions are
assembled a date for the test will
be announced. ‘There were more
applicants for this examination
that for any other on the list.
W hom Will
Dewey Appoint
To State Jobs?
ALBANY. — Governor-elect
Dewey was to confer before the
end of the month, possibly this
week, with Governor Lehman in a
discussion of budgetary policies.
Out of the discussion, it was be-
lieved, would come some definite
indication from Mr. Dewey what
he intends to do in his first
executive budget now being writ-
ten, with reference to Feld-Ham-
ilton and other pay increases.
Thus far the budget-makers have
been entirely in the dark on ma-
jor policies of the incoming Goy-
ernor, although he has been rep-
resented at budget hearings by
William MeWilliams, one of his
legislative research staff.
Meanwhile hundreds of State |,
them in the |!
workers, most of
exempt and non-competitive class,
await the verdict of their fate.
How far Mr. Dewey will go in
filling jobs with Republicans is
unknown, but lots of employees
whose positions are vulnerable
and lots who are looking for State
jobs have been searching depart-
ment rosters for vacancies
which they hope to lay claim, But
only a very few persons are
equipped to find these spots, so
intricate is the budget-personnel
setup, and those who know are
keeping the information for party
leaders,
Possible Dewey Appointments
While Mr, Dewey has not dis-
closed any of his intentions with
respect to appointments it is re-
ported definitely here that Paul
Lockwood, his former ussociate in
the District Attorney’s office, and
his closest confidante for years,
will be Mr, Dewey's counsel in
the position now held by County
Judge-elect Nathan HK. Sobel.
Thomas J. Curran, G.O.P, leader
of New York County, has been
offered the $12,000 office of Sec-
retary of State, it is reported.
Miss Ruth M, Miner, vice chaiy-
man of the Albany Republican or-
ganization, is mentioned for ap-
pointment to the Civil Service
Commisison but many believe she
may be appointed instead a4 ex-
ecutive deputy in the Secretary of
State's office, a $7,000 job.

Mrs, Davie revealed that a num-

Should We Cut
Federal Lists?
L AST week, Senator Byrd made the headlines with
his demend that the rolls of Federal employees be
cut a third.
OF course, every Senator has the right to speak as he
pleases. He may demand that the rolls of Federal em-
ployees be cut a third, or a half, or any percentage that
happens to pop into his head, In peacetime, this sort
of talk goes on right along. It is a part of the political
process, In wartime, any Senator should think twice or
thrice before popping off like that. These are the facts:
Of all Federal employees, a large percentage (esti-
mated by some authorities to be over 50 per cent), are
engaged directly in the production of ships, munitions,
cannon, chemicals of war, and similar stuffs; transporta-
tion; investigation, and tasks related to these activities.
Another group, growing every day, is engaged in such
vital duties as meteorology, civilian aeronautics, etc,
And vast numbers are on the government payroll being
taught to fit where shortages now exist — as mechanic
helpers, aircaft mechanic trainees, inspectors, etc.
Of the remainder, the vast majority are engaged in
activities directly bearing upon the war effort.
Perhaps Senator Byrd is unaware of the fact that
many Federal employees work overtime—most of them
voluntarily. Thus, in the Second Regional Office of the
United States Civil Service Commission, the employees
put in 3,500 hours overtime in June, In October, they
worked 5,418 hours overtime. Their basic work-week,
by the way, is 44 hours, not 40.
Now, if Federal departments were overstaffed the
way Senator Byrd says they're overstaffed, no such over-
time would be necessary.
But the power now exists, and it is being used, to
utilize employees in the best possible manner. War Man-
power Directive No. 10 gives drastic power to the U. S.
Civil Service Commission to transfer employees where
their skills will be most valuable in furthering the war
effort. Thus, the New York office of the CSC trans-
ferred 792 empoyese between September 22 and October
22 to positions where their skills could be used to greater
advantage in pushing the war, Some agencies will grow
smaller, Others will, and must, grow larger, There’s
a war being fought. The work has got to be done. Said
one public official to the writer of this editorial: “Gov-
ernment employees in overmanned agencies will be
smoked out. And the same is true of overmanning in
private industry.” Senator Byrd didn’t mention the
overmann‘ng in private industry.
The Senator should do some heavy thinking. In the
Jean old days, he was always on the “economy” side,
whatever the facts, Thinking as usual won't do today,
Senator.

Solving Police
Manpower Problem
Sin I resd an article in the
November 17th issue of ‘The
LEADER about soiving the ‘Po-
lice Manpower Problem” and I
would like to enlighten the Police
Department on how to obtain ap-
proximately 400-500 men from the
special! petrolman’s list (totaling
1,€00) which is composed of men
who competed in the samo exam-
inat'on as that taken by the men
on the first list (totaling 1,600).
Th 400 men on the second list
we ve the title of “Special
Patrol ‘e to be used in
other ci nents, The eli-
glbles 01 special list were
only attain a final average
from 70 to 79.999 per cent,
If examinations in the past were
conducted in this manner and
patrolmen lists split in half,
there would be a number of Police
Captains, ete., who would not have
made the police force, I am sure
there are men on the police force
who did not attain a final average
of 80 per cent but who neverthe-
less ave wearing the New York
City Police Department uniform,
T and all the eligibles of the
sspecial Patrolman's Association
feel that before a new examina-
tion is ordered or any increase in
age is suggested, that the Com-
mission should think about using
this second iist of eligibles, ‘This
may not solve the shortage prob-
lom but it would give the depart-
ment at least 400 men within the
age limit who have met all the
physical and mental requirements
of the Police Departinent,

He's just a quiet sort of fellow

there's usually more activity there
than you can find ata nylon
counter in Macy’s the day of a

technicians and nurses, ‘The union
holds that the positions of eleva-
tor operator and watchman at-

City Hall rumors have it that
Commissioner Carey has person-

formants, served as a springboard.
There can be no question about
the need of a raise—~now. The
men are doing lots of extra work
necessitated by the war effort,
The staff has been drastically re-
duced, with few replacements.
The high cost of living has hit
Sanitation salaries, and what with

Salaries Held Up
The war certainly hits every-
body. Last week, Joseph Plum-
eau, new Foreman of Mechanics,
and Carl Ottison, new Foreman
Auto Machinist, learned that their
promotions might turn sour so far
as a raise in salary is concerned.
The Comptroller's Office found
that maybe the Federal freezing
regulations apply. Question: Do
the promotions constitute new
jobs, or are they merely an ad-
vancement? Best indications were
that it would turn out all right
for Plumeau and Ottison, as it
had for Edmund Donnelly, whose
promotion had also come up for
consideration by the Comptroller.

POSTAL NEWS
By DONALD McDOUGAL
Kill that Filibuster!
And now the postal boys have
demanded that the ridiculously
intolerable filibuster up there in
the Senate must be crushed. The
Joint Conference of Affiliated
Postal Employers last week held
that the fellows are having
enough trouble as it is trying to
get a bill through with a 10 per-
cent bonus and no dangerous
trailers without being stymied
completely by the efforts of a
group of gassy Southern zealots
to keep poor people from voting.
‘The Joint Conference has recog-
nized the filibuster ‘phonies"’ for
what they are—politicians willing
to talk from now until next year
to keep political plums from
turning sour. So they've wired
U. 8. Senators Jim Mead and Bob
Wagner to vote for cloture in re-
gard to the poll tax ‘debate.’
Introducing
Postal Percy
Says Postal Percy: Things are
so definitely disgusting as they
are without “phenagling"” with a
foolish filibuster, ‘Drat’ it, why
“cawn't’! these Senators be draft-
ed off to war? Boy, pas’ me the
ale,
That 2666 Problem
Senate Bill 2666 really has two
bad portions, say the postal boys.
One would give the budget direc-
tor's office control over any de-
partment or agency in Govern-
ment service, The other would
give the Civil Service Commission
the right to transfer any em-
ployee whether or not the move
will be aiding the war effort.
More precisely, this bill would
reduce personnel and increase
regulars’ working hours. And hit
the subs harder than ever, just
about rupturing them,
The postal boys, in fact, are so
incensed over the composition of
the bill that, if the filibster
“phonies" ever subside, they are
sure to oppose it despite inclusion
of the 10 percent bonus,
What is further nettling the
postal fellows is the fact that the
Post Office Department, they
claim, shouldn't even be men-
tioned in the bill at all. As far
back as the day Judge Mountain
Kenesaw Landis was in short
pants, or perhaps it was ‘Thomas
Jefferson, the post office people
have been handled as an agency
separate from other Federal units
hecause of the individuality of
the department. Now they find
themselves included with other
groups in unprecedented style
sjust for a number of Senators’
convenience,
As Postal Percy would
“Blarst it all."*
The postal boys intend to hold
the line if the filibuster lasts for
25 years. At least their children,
or maybe children’s children, will
benefit while delivering special
deliveries by airplane,
Just Notes
‘The subs, of course, are still ob-
taining the short end of some-
body's stick and, frankly,
wouldn’t even like it if it were
somebody else’s stick—and some-
body else's hide... The sub group
of Branch 36, NALC, met last
Saturday in branch headquarters,
276 West 43rd Street, Manhattan,
and mulled over how to obtain ree
leases for subs for war work...

Selective Certification
—What It Means
To understand the meaning
of solective certification, one
must realize the 150,000 em-
ployees of the city are divided
into approximately 1,000 titles. In
many cases only one or two per-
sons may hold a particular litle.
In the past the Commission has
always held examinations when
vacancies occurred in those titles.
‘The multiplicity of these exams
and the thousands of candidates
who file for them make it neces-
sary for the Commission to ex-
pend large sums of money and
hold many tests. It also resulted
in a situation where provisionals
held these titles for long periods
of time until the eligible lists
could be promulgated, In order
to cut down the number of exams
and to reduco the number of pro-
visionals and the long periods of
time that some provisionals served,
the Commission adopted a policy
of selective certification, Under
this procedure the Commission
may declare that a list designed to
fill vacancies in another title is
appropriate to fill a given vac-
ancy. Since this vacancy re-
quires some experience, training,
education or unique qualification
not possessed by all the eligibles
on that list, the Commission will
hold a qualifying exam to find the
persons possessed of that particu-
lar qualification and then certify
that person or persons to the
vacancy in the order of their
viginal list.

labor. It is now up to the Mayor
to ascertain that his department
heads live up to the provisions

New Treatment
For Baldness
Her name's Adel Wybrant and
she's from Denyer, Colo, For yeara
she did first hand research regard-
ing the “cause of falling hair...
Atter religious experiments along
these limes she has succeeded in
presenting an entirely new. picuure,
This lady CLAIMS THAT SHE
CAN MAKE YOUR HAIR GROW
... And to back up that state-
inent, she invites you to come to
her Salon and receive a month's
treatment. If after these treat-
ments, you're hair doesn't show
improvement, then you don't owe
this lovely lady a “dime,” That's
the kind of lady she is, and that's
the very reason she has built up
such a Wonderful business,
Men in all walks of life receive
treatment every day at her cosy
little parlor, Tiiese same folks who
watch the ‘progress of their hair
through actual photographs, are ac-
tually astounded at the marvelous
results she has achieved in each
and every case, she cliims. The
address is 1674 Broadway, corner

That Home
Reconstruction Problem
Home owners everywhere are em-
loying many emergency measures
0 ‘cooperate’ with the government,
Among these are the conyereion of
oil burners to coal, home insulation

‘The Ventura Com-
$200 to $5,000, for a period of from
three to seven years, repayable
monthly. In addition to this ‘serv-
ice, Mr. Jacobs, general manager of
Ventura, states that their modern-
ization department offers practical
advice on these problems, and may
be consulted without obligation any
day at their office between the
hours of 9 to 6p. m. Home own-
era may also have their present
mortgage refinanced with @ new
first mortgage at 414% to run for 20
years.
Real Estate Plan

whereby no down payment 1s re-
quired “to buy any of the large
wooded plots at Lake Panamoka,
+ hag been inaugurated by J.
Bawara Breuer, realtor, of Great

‘This sales plan has been devised
to assist those who wish to buy real
estate as @ hedge against inflation,
Particularly people with permanent
Positions and steady incomes,
‘The lake colony is a newly-devel-
oped all-year-round resort, with fa-

Contact
In the life of a cop, anything can

en Miss Betty Jacoby, blonde
and beautiful, was ‘stopped for a
minor traffic ‘violation, her license
stated plainly that she'had to wear
glasses, Miss Jacoby insisted that
she was wearing glasses, The cop
insisted she wasn't,
Tt took some fifteen minutes of
heated argument to prove the case.
It seems Miss Jacoby was wearing
“contact” lenses which fit over the
eyeball and are practically invisible.
Incidentally, the glasves and the
story come trom Keensight, the op-
ticlans who specilize in “invisible

Faster Turnover
In Industry -
Than Government
WASHINGTON, — Although the
public bas been led to believe that
turnover in the Federal Govern-
ment js inordinately high, figures
just released by Bureau of Labor
Statistics show it actually is lower
than in private industry.
‘The bureau has figures covering
8,900 establishments, with 4,450,000
industrial workers in 135 indus-
tries.
During June, July, August and
September, the separation rate in
these industries averaged 7.08 per-
cent per month, 85.08 percent per
year,
That figure included layofte, a
factor with which Government
generally does not have to con-
tend, Even, however, with lay-
offs excluded, the industrial separ-
ation rate ran 6,13 percent per
month, 73.16 percent per year
And resignations alone averaged
4.34 percent per month, 58.08 per-
cent a year,
By contrast, during the same
period, the turnover rate in Goy-
ernment probably did not exceed
50 percent. In some individual
agencies, of course, it probably
ran higher, But the individual
agency rate always includes trans-
fers—employees lost to the agency,
but not lost to the Government.

Charges TB Hospital
Salaries Are Too High
of what it has found out about
the administration of State de-
partments.
Charges were made that some
‘TB hospitals have nearly as
many employees as patients;
charge less than county hospitals
per day ($2.50 against $2.86 to
$4.60); and that thousands of dol-
lars due the State from patients
able to pay and from counties for
relief cases remain unpaid.
Defends Institutions
Defending his institutions
against the charge of excessive
operation costs, Dr. Robert F.
Plurikett, general superintendent
of TB hospitals, said:
“Salaries of many of our staff
employees including nurses is
fixed by statute and are high,
maybe too high, compared with
those of the county hospitals.
Moreover, in the county institu-
tions employees work 66 to 75
hours a week but employees of
the State institutions are on an
eight hour day and they get holi-
days off. We are having a diffi-
cul time with our personnel prob-
lem.”
He said, and his view was
echoed by the superintendents of
the institutions, that every effort
is being made to fill vacancies.
He added that because of the
turnover many employees are
“veterans” after a couple of
months service, He said a roster
of 180 or 185 employees today, be-
cause of lack of experience,

Leave of Absence
Raises Problem
ALBANY.—Creation of regional
offices in New York City, Buf-
falo, Syracuse, ad possibly other
cities to handle State civil service
problems within those areas is
one of the goals of the Civil Ser-
vice Commission in streamlining
its functions, it was learned this
week, ‘The extension of civil ser-
vice to local offices including
many in the district schools is an
argument for decentralizing con-
‘trol, it was reported.
Independently also of the inves-
tigation of civil service affairs
now being made by the Hollowell
Legislative Committee, the Com-
mission has underway a survey of
its own to modernize civil service
practice, The objective is to ‘“lib-
eralize procedures so as to main-
tain standards and retain oppor-
tunities for men and women called
into the armed service.”
Leaves
The question of leaves is now
being considered to correct “in-
consistencies’ that have grown
up through the years, All kinds
of ‘leaves’ are being granted,
some under one rule, some under
another, Some persons are re-
quired to return and work at least
one payroll period in each year of
absence in order to remain in the
State service,
Some members of the Commis-
sion believe there should be one
policy for all, including those who
go into military service. It is
argued that the one-year period be
abolished and that all leaves be
on a four-year basis, the same as
the life of an open competitive or
preferred list,
‘One statute now requires return
of absent employees for the one-
payroll period in each year but
the Commission can and repeat~
edly has suspended the act by
resolution approved by the Gover-
nor, thus nullifying the statute.
“We don't know where we get
the authority to do that but we
do it,” said one Commissioner.
This was mentioned as an indica~
tion of what the Commission
faces in “streamlining” its admin-
istration and policies.
was not as efficient as a staff of
185 trained people.
Dr, Plunkett vigorously opposed
suggestions of Professor Harley
Lutz, head of the Commission's
research staff, and former Sena-
tor Walter A, Westall, counsel,
that either the number of hos-
pials be reduced or that their
services be curtailed.
TB On Way Up
Citing the rising rate of tubercu-
losis in England, Dr. Plunkett
forecast a rise in this country due
to war conditions, crowding, im-
proper diets, overwork. He urged
expansion, not contraction, of the
State's tuberculosis facililes and
said the State’s advances in TB
surgery made the hospitals here
“The best in the coutiry.”’ He
blamed “the almighty dollar’ for
hampering an adequate program
of tuberculosis prevention, con-
trol and cure.
