WASHINGTON. — One of the
most influential persons in
Washington today isn’t a Federal
al. Nor is he a politician,
Yet tens thousands of em-
ployees have been affected in
some way through the wide in-
fluence of this person.
Haye you ever heard of him?
His name is Louis Brownlow.
Brownlow hates to see his name
in print and he goes to extremes
tc dodge reporters, yet he began
his career as a reporter and he
had the reputation of being an
excellent news gatherer in his
ime.
Brownlow is a bouncing, bald,

Yet Few Have Ever Heard of Him
Inside Story of Louis Brownlow and His Washington Boys
‘al important jobs in the
government of the District
of Columbia, and he has been
ral medium-
however, he
freely gives his advice on the so-
lution of administrative problems.
He states his views publicly in
personnel and administrative pub-
lications, and he spends much of
his time giving personal advice.
Brownlow has a good job. He's
the boss of the Public Adminis-
tration Service, the Rockefeller
Foundation-endowed concern
locatad in Chicago. The Public
Administration Service is fre-
quently consulted by cities and
Federal departments on their spe-
ial problems, Brownlow will as-
sign them one of his staff mem-
bers. Frequently the staff officer
will stay with the troubled govern-
ment if the job is good enough
and pays well enough.
Ac
ed of Patronage
Mr. Brownlow has often been
accused of having more personal
patronage in governments than
Jim Farley, Ed Flynn, ‘Boss’
Crump, Pendergast, Kelly-Nash,
and all the Tammany politicians
combined.
‘This he denies heatedly, ‘‘Never
in my life,” he says, “have I
ever made a political appoint-
ment, Government officials, how-
ever, have asked my advice on
certain individuals and I've
merely stated my views clearly.”
Hold Keys Jobs
It may be a coincidence, but
“Brownlow's Boys," as they are
generally referred to, today are
holding down some of the key
jobs in Washington, and it's gen-
erally believed that’ no important
administrative change is made
unless it has the approval of
Louie Brownlow.
Brownlow has entree to the
White House (he prefers to go in
through the back door) on down
through every department in
Washington. He's probably the
best informed person outside of
the Federal government on the
government itself.
Brownlow was on the Presi-
dent's committee on government
reorganization. In fact, Louie
was chairman ofthe committee,
and he worked out an elaborate
plan for the reorganization of the
Federal government. The Roose-
velt-haters got together and ac-
cused FDR of trying to become a
dictator via Louie's master plan,
and Congress turned it down in
one of the most historic debates
in the halls of Congress.
FDR and Louie stuck by their
guns and sometime later Congress
passed a reorganization bill at the
President's request which didn’t
stir up such mighty opposition,
Now the President has the
greatest possible authority over
reorganization of the executive
department. Agencies in Wash-
ington are being decentralized,
they are being merged, abolished,
and consolidated, and Brownlow
has had his hand in it all—with-
out being in a position to take the
credit or the blame,
Some Brownlow Bo;
Some of Louie's potent boys
are:
Harold D. Smith, director of the
Federal Budget Bureau, who is a
key figure in Washington. He
draws up the plans on Govern-
ment decentralization and reor-
ganization, Louie assists in many
of them,
Jobn B. Blandford, administra~
tor of the National Housing
Agency. NHA is the new overall
agency for the 16 different hous-
ing agencies. Blandford formerly
was deputy director of the Budget
Bureau.
Howard Emmerich, administra-
tor of the U. S. Housing Admin-
istration. He was formerly Louie's
first assistant in the Public Ad-
ministration Service and after
that he was executive director of
the War Production Board.
Lyle Belsley, executive secretary
of the War Production Board,
and who was formerly special as-
sistant to William H. McReynolds,
the President's administrative as-
sistant on personnel.
Donald Stone, chief of the ad-
ministrative division of the Bu-
yeau of the Budget. He person-
ally “makes the reorganization
studies.
These are just a handful of
“Brownlow’s Boys." Scores of
others are to be found in impor-
tant Federal jobs. ‘Brownlow's
Boys" are very clannish. They
stick together. They always land
in good jobs on the Federal pay-
roll.
‘They Work at It
However, most every fair-
minded person will admit that
some of Louie's boys are among
the best in the Federal service.
Most of the boys dedicate their
lives to better government. . . «
they study to be a Federal admin-
istrator as others study to be doc-
tors and scientists. It can’t be
denied that they have done much
for the Civil Service system.
Louie's boys sold the President
on the merit system and it isn't
{oo much to say that we'd never
have the several Ramspeck-Mead
bills that benefit Federal workers
if it hadn’t been for the Bouncing
Mr. Brownlow and his boys.
Master Employment File in View As U. S.
Introduces Simplified Application Form
WASHINGTON — Streamlined
ecruiting of Federal employees
boosted this week by an an-
nouncement from the United
States Civil Service Comm:
that it has directed the use of a
standardized application form for
Federal employment. ‘The form
supersedes a variety of forms
now used for civil service exam-
inations, transfers, promotions
and reinstatements.
The new form is in effect a
consolidation of numerous forms
now used by the Commission and
practically all Federal agencies.
It is the first consoiidated or sim-
plified personnel form issued un-
der the sponsorship of the Com-
mission, under authority recently
granted by the Bureau of the
Budget. When in use, the form
will wipe out the filling in of mis-
cellaneous ‘personal _ histories’?
and “record of employment’?
forms now consuming thousands
ot hours each year,
Mitchell Predicts Wide Use
Harry B. Mitchell, president of
the Commission, predicted the
new form will be used throughout
the service within the next three
months, Government personnel
directors, through the Counsel of
Personnel Administration,
crated with the Civil Se
mission in the development of the
new application form.
Master Fite m View
In terms: of decreased effort,
President Mitchell said the new
form means that John Doe may
apply for a job through regular
civil, service examination chan-
nels, fill out one application, and
not be asked to fill out others.
It means that a master file may
be more effectively established on
every government employee, thus
enabling reference to such a file
instead of repeated filing in of
long and complicated question-
naires, Tt means that the average
applicant for a Federal job will
spend only a fraction of his time
in filling out application blanks
and will get his case before the
central hiring agency in only a
fraction of the time formerly con-
sumed. It means a great deal
more to Federal personnel direc-
tors whose desire is to get the
most qualified workers in the
shortest possible time.
The Commission is setting up
for its own use a smiall supply of
the new forms, The Government
Printing Office will furnish the
new forms in quantities for gen-
eral distribution in the near fu-
ture. The forms have been as-
signed numbers as f0110 ws:
“Standard Form °67;"" and a con-
tinuation sheet, ‘‘Standard
Form 58,"'

Appointments
There will be no further ap-

lars until further notice, The
LEADER learned this week,
‘The order, handed down from
Washington, is nation-wide in i
coverage and affects all classifi-
cations of postal employees. Ap-
parently it has been designed to
prevent the condition that existed
at the end of World War I, when
the department was overmanncd,
Moreover, it is being regarded
as a “feelev’’ for stabilizing the
cayrier force, The department's
expectation, according to ob:
servers, is that the new oyertime

Automatically, the dictum

Subs in this area promptly
rallied to combat the move, Local
10, of the Substitutes’ Committee
of the New York Federation of
Post Office Clerks, meeting .Fri-
day evening in its headquarters at
206 West 23d Street, Manhattan,
drafted a resolution calling upon
the Joint Conference of Affiliated
Postal Employees to organize a
mass protest meeting against the
action
The Joint Conference meets this
Tuesday night in the same
headquarters, Strong action is
expected to be taken, according to
Abraham C, Shapiro, secretary of
the group.
Calls It Unfair
Mr. Shapiro termea the new
regulation “entirely unfair to the
subs,” said the department is
‘taking undue advantage of the
bs'’ and charged that it would
hamper the department more
than help, ‘in view of the de-
psrtment's own admission that it
lacks manpower."”
‘The subs who have taken
regulars’ jobs haye signed waivers
to hand the jobs back to those
who have left them for the armed
forces, This makes it ridiculous
to claim that the department will
be overmanned after the war,”
contended Mr, Shapiro, .
He said the subs already have
received a blow in not being per-
mitted to be assigned to tasks the
regulars will be asked to assume
at overtime pay if the need arises,
he added.
What Is Meant
By “Subversive”
WASHINGTON—The many Fed-
eral employees accused of being
subversive are now assured of
being given a hearing. An inter-
departmental committee has been
appointed to define what is meant
by ‘subversive’ organizations, This
committee is headed by Interior
Undersecretary John Dempsey,
and this group will encourage the
departments to appoint commit-
tees to hear the cases of accused
employees. More than 4,000 em-
ployees are under a cloud.

Can a NYC Employee Obtain
Leave to Take a War Job?
Quinn Bill Permits
Leave of Absence
As many as 50 percent of the
city’s employees engaged in pub-
lie works will be laid"off in ad¢
tion to those due to lose their
jobs under the new budget if the
city doesn’t permit municipal
workers to accept war industry
jobs with the understanding they
will be rehired in similar posts
after the duration, Councilman
Hugh Quinn warned this week.
Councilman Quinn introduced a
bill providing that those muni
pal employees who accept w:
work “be safeguarded during
such absence as to the mainte-
nance of the salary and grade of
position.’”
Says It Helps Both
Mr. Quinn held that the meas-
ure would act in the interests of
the city, which would be able to
cut its payroll further to effect
war economies, and of the em-
ployee, who would be enabled to
capitalize upon an opportunity to
accept a better paying job. “More-
over, he would be able to serve
his country in an important post,
said Mr. Quinn, “without fear of
either losing his city job or being
demoted,”
The Councilman charged that

percent more layoffs will have to
be made on top of those now due.

The war has created a serious problem for all

ferred column, bringing the total
to 717, or 29 percent of the list.
Here They Are Straight
This time we give you the fig-
ures straight from the Fire Bli-
gibles Association. The totals, we
know, must be correct, because
the fire boys added the figures
themselves. We know that any-
one who was able to pass that
tough test last June 28 couldn't
make a simple mistake in addi-
tion—like a LEADER reporter or
an adding machine,
Here they are:

Eligibles in 1A_ (2%

Each week, as more returns
come in to the offices of the Fire

spectively. The highest eligible

The P.D. 3 (Special) list will
expire when the regular patrol-

So ruled the Civil Service Com-
mission at its meeting this Weck,
The ruling came in answer to a
letter from Arthur H, Brown, sec-
retary of the P.D, 3 Eligibles'
Association, Brown had request-
ed that the list be extended for
the full four-year term,
In denying Brown's request, the
Civil Service Commission pointed
out that the original advertise-
ment stated that the number 3
list would terminate at the end of
one year after promulgation or at
the termination of the main list
for patrolman. The Commission
saw no point in going back on
the advertised requirements for
the exam,

Estimate Board Adopts Budget;
Legal Contest May Challenge Items
Legal proceedings against May-
or LaGuardia challenging the
legality of his proposed budget
were forecast this week by
Henry Feinstein, president of the
Federation of Municipal ®m-
ployees, on behalf of the organ-
ization. Mr, Feinstein said his
group is planning to take the
case into Supreme Court.
Warning that the Mayor's ac-
tion “creates a dangerous preco-
dent for city executives,’ Mr.
Feinstein pointed to the discon-
tinuance in the budget of the fol-
lowing charter-prescribed items
in section 117; sums for repaving
of city thoroughfares and removal
of snow and ice; funds for main-
tenance of National Guard armor-
jes, and allotments for judg-
ments and claims,
Mr, Feinstein charged that the
discontinuance of funds for re-
paving work ‘constitutes a dan-
ger that is all the more to be con-
demned in view of his war ef-

The Story of Joe O'Neill
apers are piled in four neat
s on the desk of the late
eph O'Neill, director of the Mu-
nicipal Civil Service Commission's
bureau of investigation, Beneath
the papers lies a battered green
blotter, frayed at the edges, Be-
hind the desk a calendar reads
Monday, April 20,
On Monday, April 20, Joseph
O'Neill, crack investigator, left
his desk to dash up to the Bronx
and testify before the special
3rand Jury investigating the pav-
ing of the Belgian court yard on
the Lake Mahopac estate of Ed-
ward J. Flynn, Democratic leader.
Joseph O'Neill testified for one
hour, On his way out of the
Bronx County Court House, walk-
ing down the wide stone steps, he
felt faint. Hailing a taxi, he
asked to be taken to the nearest
doctor. An hour later, he died in
the office of Dr. Samuel J,

course.
800 Hours of Overtime
The medical diagnosis of his
death was “heart attack.” In the
offices of the Civil Service Com-
mission, fellow employees diag-
nosed it as “overtime,” Joseph
O'Neill, crack inyestigator, had
accumulated 800 hours of over-
time, In love with his job, he had
not taken a vacation in three
years,
During an interview with a
LEADER reporter two weeks
ago, O'Neill admitted that
he loved his work, that he pre-
ferred it to any other job. Off
the record, he admitted that he
received many tempting offers
from private firms during his
career with the Civil Service
Commission, Off the record, too,
he admitted that his bureau was
Greatly understaffed,
A nationally-known expert on
citizenship and naturalization
laws, O'Neill's biggest job was

Wicks law, of 27,000 subway em-
Dloyees within a period of 14
months. With his small staff,

Born in Greeawich Village
Born in Greenwich Village, 53

Despite precedent and in spite
of what is contained in the city
charter and State constitution,
the City Council can act to e-

of jobs, The LEADER was told

Estimate Bourd Approves It
The Board of Estimate, mean
while, has approved virtually atl
of Mayor LaGuardia’s so-called
war budget, with the exception of
transferring a number of posi
tions within budget codes set by
the Mayor.
Mayor LaGuardia explained his
executive budget of $612,698,761 in
a three-hour executive session
with the Board a weele ago Mon-
day, following which the Board
made its decision,
A Lovely Meeting
The spirit of the meeting was
“very harmonious," according to
Councilmanic President Newbold
Morris, who pointed out that the
fecling of urtity in the Board
went so far that, in his opinion,
even the Parks Department
dilemma can now be solved
without burdening the budget.
Said Mr, Morris: “This business
of closing the playgrounds is
ridiculous,” in referring to Com-
missioner Robert Moses’ opinion
at the recent public budget hear.
ing.
He said the Board will seck to
arrange for continued operation
of municipal playgrounds throug
the use of volunteers and eyen
Boy Scouts. Commissioner Moses
is asking that paid workers con-
tinue to do these responsible jobs.
Indeed, in asking for restoration
of an $868,000 slash from his
budget, Commissioner Moses
charged that vandalism and vio-
lence would become more fre-
quent in the city's parks if the
budget cuts were permitted to
stand,
But, to return to Mr. Morris:
“There was no disposition ‘to
start opening the door to various
demands,”
No nge in Total

The $612,698,761 includes $43,816,-

Central Purchasing Pool
The Mayor made a further
recommendation at the Board
session, He suggested that a cen-
tral purchasing pool for city sup
plies be created, and this waa
promptly approved, except that
the borough presidents obtained
permission to purchase st
and sewer repair materials di-
rectly through their own offices.
The Mayor acted, he said, in
view of expected priorities and
called for the pooling of 20 per
cent of each department's appro-
priation for supplies. This pool
would be handled by the Pur-

Dewey Won’t
Head Quiz
Of State Civil Service Body
In an exclusive statement to
The LEADER, Thomas E. Dewey
this week stated flatly that he
won't act as counsel for the
State legislative committee to
investigate civil service. It had
been rumored in Albany, and
even stated in the press, that
Dewey was slated for the job.
“You may say,” Dewey told a
LEADER reporter, “that there is
no possibility whatsoever of my
accepting this task, First, there
is.my private law work, ‘and it
would take a man's full time to
do this investigating job properly.
Then I am doing important work
for Navy Relief in the Third
Naval District, Third, I make
many speeches, and these require
careful preparation,”
Mr. Dewey admitted that he
had been casually approached on
the question. But he recom-
mended that the job be given to
some young lawyer with “savvy"’
to whom the experience would
mean something. ‘'There are a
lot of fine young men who would
do the job.” Asked if there was
anyone whom he would specifi-
cally recommend, Dewey stated
that he hadn't thought about it.
He gave the impression that he
preferred to maintain a hands-off
approach to the whole investiga-
tion,
Admits ‘Politics’
The former District Attorney
readily admitted that the inquiry
is politically inspired, “And what
investigation isn't?” he parried.
“That's the way we are able to
explore abuses that exist.”
Do civil services abuses exist?
Dewey gave it as his opinion
that abuses will be found by the
investigating committee,
How about the statement going
the rounds that the probe is de-
signed to dig up campaign ma-
terial in the event Dewey should
run for Governor?
“That,” said Dewey, “is typical
Democratic Party bunk.” ‘The
youngish-looking former guber-
natorial candidate made no effort
to deny that he might use as
campaign material whatever
THOMAS DEWEY
says he'll maintain “hands-oft”

eee
“abuses” may be dug up—if he
should again run for Governor,
But made it abundantly clear
that he would not be in any way
actively associated with the con-
duct of the probe,
the Governor's reactlon—whether
he will approve the appropriation
for the inquiry in the supple-
mental bill,

State Employees
ToGet TB Checkup
ALBANY.—An item of $10,000
vofed by the Legislature in its
final appropriation bill at the re-
Guest of the Mental Hygiene De-
partment has launched the State
upon a new and vital public ser-
vice—the detection and treatment
of tuberculosis among employees
of the State’s own institutions,
This unusual step is the out-
growth of a survey begun last
year to determine the extent and
spread of tuberculosis among the
employees of the hospitals for the
mentally ill under charge of the
Mental Hygiene Department,
Up to the present 4,222 em-
—s
hearings given 10 employees with
reference thereto; (7) the manner,
method, and practice involved in
ication of positions and
the appointments and retention of
provisional appointees; and to i
vestigate and inquire’ into ever:
other matter end thing whatsoever
that affects the administration and
operation of civil service in the State
and in all the counties, cities and
civil jurisdictions thereof, ‘The in-
vestigation of said committee may
include every other matter and
thing deemed by the committee rele-
ion of ex-
vant to the general qu
tension, operation, admit
and improvement ‘of civil service
and the clvil service law and rules
in the State and in all the counties,
citles and civil divisions thereof.
ployees in mental hygiene insti-
tutions have been X-rayed and
given other tests to determine the
presence of tuberculosis in any
form. In 70 cases, or 1.7 percent
examined, evidence was found of
healed tuberculosis. In 59 cases,
or 1.4 percent, there was evidence
of clinically significant tubercu-
losis,
State is Responsible
Under recent State law, em-
ployees who have contracted tu-
berculosis while in the State em-
ploy may get compensation under
Workmen's Compensation, ‘The
cost in compensation claims for
such as these now averages $7,000
a year and the situation is becom-
ing so grave it was decided to
tackle the problem vigorously,
The moment TB is detected in
an employee, it is the duty of
those in charge to place the indi-
vidual in a State or county hos-
pital for clinical observation and
treatment. ‘Th’s preliminary period
lasts about 90 days. Where ad-
mission can be found in a county
hospital, the resident county of
the sufferer, the State is absolved
of the cost, Generally the individ-
ual must be sent to one of the
State's tuberculosis hospitals,
Neither Mental Hygiene, nor the
Health Department, nor the State
Insurance Fund had the authority
to use funds for the purpose of
hospitalization. That is why the
Legislature voted the $10,000—all
of which is to be devoted to the
maintenance of these cases,
The 90-day examination period
discloses the type of tubercu-
losis, The tests disclose also
whether the employee had the
disease before entering State serv-
ice or contracted it subsequely,
If the result is negative, the em-
ployee may be returned to woalc;
if the result is positive, the em-
ployee will be given treatment;
if it is proved the employee con-
tracted the disease before enter-
ing the State service, the case is
not compensable,

Job opportunities in war indus-

‘Trainees Not Yet Widely Util-
ized. In only three industries en-
gaged in war production are em-
ployers of New York City pre-
pared to use relatively large pro-
portions of trainees in the next
six months. In one branch of
ordnance—sighting and_fire-con-
trol equipment—all but 100 of the
3,900 new men to be taken on are
expected to be trainees, It may
be added, however, that one large
firm in this group accounts for
the bulk of the trainees to be
used,
The other two industries ready
to utilize trainees are manufac-
turers of professional and scien-
tifie instruments, which will ac-
cept 680 of them out of the 2,600
persons they plan to take on, and
machine-tool shops, which may
include 250 defense-course gradu-
ates among their 1,000 new
workers,
City’s Surplus Labor Supply a
Major Problem, The problem in
New York City still remains that
of an excess labor supply, Two
developments may help to absorb
part of this surplus locally, A
large aluminum project and an
ayiation plant may require from
15,000-25,000 new workers, The
likelihood of a new shipyard and
military projects on Long Island
may also absorb thousands of
metrgpolitan workers, Moreover,
future awards of negotiated
rather than cost-basis contracts
should work in favor of the ap-
parel industries as well as of the
many small metalworking firms
in this area.
‘Training Enrollment Not Heavy.
More than 20,000 persons in New
York City were receiving training
by the Board of Education, NYA,
and private schools in March. If
facilities were fully utilized, how-
ever, it was estimated that the
Board of Education could train
nearly 16,000 more persons and
the private schools another 10,000,
bringing to 47,000 the possible
number of men and women who
could be registered at any given
time,
Job Opportunities for Women
Increase, The additional employ-
ment of women in war industries
during March-August was esti-
mated at 4,800, a larger number
than was predicted for the six
months January-June, With the
exception of ordnance plants, the
additional hirings will occur pri-}
marily in industries which usually
employ women workers, Profes-
sional and scientific ‘instrument
firms will absorb about 1,500 of
the new women workers; manu-
facturers of communications
equipment (including radio), 700;
electrical machinery, 600; ord-
nance, 500, and non-electrical ma-
chinery, 300. Aircraft plants are
not yet prepared to take on
women, although some of them
had previously indicated an in-
terest in hiring them,
Curtailment Orders Hit Retail

curtailment orders and new pri-
ority rulings by the WPB duri

increasing unemployment in the

Specialized Training Is Provided
In Board of Education War Courses
The Board of Education is
engaged in a general streamlin-
ing prograi to step up its train-
ing facilities to handle 20,000
students at one time within the
next few months, to shorten its
defense training courses from
around 12 to 8 weeks, and to
stress specialization, The LEAD-
ER learned this week.
The total registered to date in
the eight trade schools and 15
vocational high schools through-
out the city is nearly 14,600, Of
this number, the monthly turn-
over is around 2,500, or a bit more
than 600 a week.
Approximately 300 new students
are being accepted weekly to re-
place about 300 being graduated.
The other 300 turnover consists
of students coming in and quit- -
ting for jobs or other reasons.
Teachers Needed
“The great need at the
moment,” said Gustav A. Stumpf,
assistant director of the Board of
Education War Industries Train-
ing, “is for recruiting teachers.
We have an expert scouring the
field every hour of every day, As
soon as we can get enough of
them, we are pretty sure we can
match the machines with the
necessary manpower.”
He predicted the opening of
summer schools to defense train-
ing students would spur the pro-
gram.
The speedup is to be attained
by increasing the hours packed
into a day's classes, or a night's,
Most of the courses are offered at
night.
“The specialization idea is the
most important present item on
the program," said Mr. Stumpf.
“Instruction is now being given
for metal drill press operators
rather than for machinists, for
lathe operators rather than for
machinists, and for riveters, as-
semblers, layout men and sheet
metal fabricators, rather than
merely aviation mechanics," ex-
plained Mr. Stumpf. This pins
the instruction down to concrete,
essential terms,

Ask Employment
For Older Workers
President Roosevelt's recent
National Employment Week ap-
peal to industry to “open the!
doors to older workers,” was
commended in a telegram this
week to the president of the New
York State League on Economics.
The New York State League on
Economics has for more than 20
years advocated a change in the
hiring policies of industry to
mit the new or initial employ-
ment of men and women past 40.
The telegram stated, in part:
“The war industries a
urgent need of help. It is
able that men and women older
than 40 are denied this and other
because of an eco-
nomically wasteful and unfair hir-
ing policy by many of our in-

FROM OUT of a little red
schoolhouse background in North
Smithfield, R. I, comes Lewis
Metcalfe Walling, who instantly
prompts this thought:
“Isn't he terribly young to be
the Wage-Hour Administrator?
‘Thirty-four-year-old I. M, Wall-
ing resembles a glamor boy,
with his straight, black pompa-
dour parted in the middle, his
bright, dark eyes and an in-
gratiating grin lighting up his
oval face,
Almost an Actor
Indeed, he almost became an
actor instead of a politician while
studying at the Sorbonne in
France in 1928 and 1929,
He was boarding with a young
French couple who turned out to
be touring thespians, he tells you.
So much did they think of his
French pronounciation, they tried
to convince him to join their act.
(He had already played in college
theatricals), But, of course, he
said ‘no,’
“I didn't think my French ac-
cent was that good,’ he laughs.
L. M. Walling, in short, has a
pleasant assurance that identifies
him as much as his law training
and years of study. Doubtless,
that's why President Roosevelt
picked him recently to head the
Wage-Hour Division of the U. 8.
Department of Labor, which he
now directs in addition to super-
vising the Labor Department Pub-
lic Contracts Division,
At the moment engaged in weld-
ing the duties of both these na-
tional offices, Mr, Walling is set
to hurdle the barrier furnished
by the fact that the Contracts
hranch is in Washington and the
Wage-Hour section in New York.
He believes consolidation
be in the interests of natio,
ficiency,
Two Campaigns
He has already consolidate »,
inspection forces and legal sia"
and decent
ized the inspection of public jn
tracts completely, in a
streamlining campaign.
Walling ig currently engaged i,
another campaign: to presiy
the framework of Federal cont;q,
of labor standards—especia|ly |
view of the concentrated ata
industry has Jaunched with!;, ‘the
last few months.
“We'll need this framewor\ Dot
only to win the war but when
Peace comes,” says he.
A conerete labor policy in {hy
field of hours and wages and c)
labor will help to bring }
about; in short, a single stand,
for industries operating inde
federal contracts, and those jig
enough to come under Feiler)
jurisdiction.
Started Young
Mr. Walling came up to his ny.
tional appointment after directing
the Rhode Island Department ot
Labor from 1935 to 1937.
Having been graduated fiom
Phillips Academy at Andover,
Mass., and Brown University and
Harvard University Law Sehocl,
from which he was admitted {9
the Rhode Island Bar in 1934 (he
practiced hardly at all), Mr. Wall.
ing was appointed by Rhode Is.
Jand Governor Theodore Green to
the State Commission ow Inter.
State Labor Compacts, a forerun.
ner of the NRA.
“Tt was a neat device tc
collective action,” he recalls
Tt was while serving with the
Rhode Island Consumers League
that L, M.'s reputation reached
the late Hugh Johnson, NRA or.
izer, who named him Labor
Compliance Officer for the ‘Blue
Fagle" as well as NRA lega) al-
viser in Rhode Island, In 1935
he became the first director of
the newly-created State Depart.
ment of Labor in Rhode Island
It was in 1937 he resigned and
went to Washington,

QUESTION, PLEASE
City Clerk Test
L.K.: Although the Mayor's
budget does not allow for the ap-
ointment of any grade 1 clerks
this year, the eligible list which
will be established as a result of
the coming examination will bo
good for @ period of four years
Undoubtedly, the needs of the city
will demand that appointments be
made long before the four-year
period is up. If you do not ap-
pear for the examination, you will
not be entitled to a refund on
your fee.
Typists in Greater
Demand
L.K.: The present New York City
typist list has been in existence
for one year and approximately
half of the eligibles have already
beeh appointed. All those remain~
ing have been canvassed as ta
their availability for appointment,
With the Federal Government and
private industry offering relative-
ly higher salaries for typists, we
think that the list established as
a result of the new typist test
should be an active one.
Transfer in Transit
§.T.: In order to be transferred
from one line to another of the
IRT division of the Board of
Transportation, you should con-
tact your immediate superior. He
will put your request through the
proper channels, Such a transfer
is, of course, entirely up to the
discretion of your department
head.
Why You Can
Decline Appointment
JR.
-R.: If you pass the conductot
examination and are certified (0
the Board of Transportation for
appointment, you may decline the
offer of appointment on the
ground of temporary inability be:
cause of your employment in thé
Navy Yard in an important de
fense capacity, You would have
to request the Commission to 1
move your name from the eligib!é
list until such period of time as
you would be able to accept ap
pointment. ‘This request woul
probably be granted, although it
4s in the discretion of the (on
mission to do so.

1.K.: No appointments hava

O'Dwyer Calls
For “Fair Trial”
Distriet Attorney - Major Bill .
O'Dwyer made quite a hit with
his short but effective speech at
last week's meeting of the Honor
Legion, The square shooting ex-
cop, ex-judge, ex-Mayoralty candi-
date called for a “fair trial’ for
the
men facing departmental
as a result of the Amen
He pointed out
ery hoodlum and bum in
2 was given a fair
I some cases, as a result
Court of Appeals decision,
those convicted had the benefit
of two fair trials, O'Dwyer stated
that this was entirely proper. He
‘wid that he never wants to see
any man convicted unless he is
absolutely guilty. Without con-
doning or criticizing the police-
men involved, he said that they
should be accorded the same priv-
ilege as the hoodlums and bums
in Brooklyn—‘a fair trial!
Pensionistis
Best crack of the evening came
fiom Fusionist Magistrate Edgar
Bromberger, It was aimed at
Democratic Congressman Walter
Lynch. Representative Lynch,
the first speaker, stated that cops
4nd Congressmen had something
in common—'pensionistis,"’ The
only difference, said Lynch, is that
cops knew they were going to get
their pensions, but they just
ned to aid candidates in their preparation for the forthcomng
York City test for Patrolman, These questions have been p
‘td exclusively for the LEADER by an authority on civil serv’
paitiques and procedures, and are made up from the point of view

gagement and if you deem it im-
portant enough, permit him to de

eompetent medical attention.
Question 14
While off duty on your way
home in a district which is not
on your post, you see two men
threatening each other and ap-
parentyy on the verge of a fist
fight, Your first action under
these circumstances should be to
(a) step in and find out the rea-
son for the argument, (b) arrest
the man making the threat in
order te prevent a breach of the
peace, (c) wait until they actually
start fighting and then step in
and arrest them both, (d) display
your authority and disperse tho
men, (e) push the men apart and
if they show fight, take them to
the station howe
Question 15
Suppose you are on: patrol duty
one evening in an east side area,
and you notice a group of boys
standing in front of a laundry
store window. One of the boys
heaves a rock through the win-
dow and they all flee. Under
these circumstances it would bo
the best procedure first to (a)
ascertain the extent of the dam-
age and the motive which led to
the incident, (b) fire your revol-
ver at the boys and call upon
them to halt, (c) blow your
whistle, give chase and attempt to
apprehend the leader, (d) call
your precinct ‘for a station wagon
and arrest the boys, (e) deputize
a few passers-by and ask them to
give chase.

If it is indicated to you as a
patrolman that a prisoner is en-
titled to humane treatment while
in custody, this ought to mean to
you most nearly that a prisoner

of his crime until it is proved
otherwise, (b) should be given
every consideration that any freo

didn't know when, Congressmen
weren't sure if they'd get theirs

Magistrate Bromberger, the sec-
ond speaker, told the Honor Le-
gion members and their guests
that men had been brought be-
fore him for less than what Lynch
and his fellow-Congressmen tried
to get away with in Washington.

Sergeant Monroe said that, ac-
cording to the system worked
out, the man with the latest ap-
plication filed would be retired

Dennis Mahoney, president of

FIRE FACTS
|. Say aera a
to get him to write up the Balti-
more fire—that’s sumpin!
Fuel for Thought
FIRES IN ‘TAXPAYERS’ is a
problem which warrants frequent
discussion. As the name implies,
a “taxpayer” is built for the pur-
pose of just earning enough to
pay taxes on the land, Conse-
quently the cost of its construc-
tion is kept at a minimum, result-
ing in increased hazard,
Were I to be the first officer
to respond to such a fire, I would
immediately pull down the tin-
covered ceilings in the adjoining
stores, bearing in mind the con-
struction is such as to invite fire
travel in this direction,
It is well to remember the con-
struction of Taxpayers. General-
ly the layout is four brick walls,
large unbroken roof area of wood
rafters, roofing boards covered
with tin, partitions separating
stores are of lathe and plaster on
studding (rarely touehing the
roof bozrds), This leaves large
open spaces between the ceilings
and roofs, Hence the inevitable
horizontal means of fire travel.
The cellars present no better
condition and, bearing in mind
that retail stores have stocks of
combustible nature, it must be
noted that such fires present a
problem in extension.
Space prevents a detailed dis-
cussion of the factors to be con-
sidered when fighting such blaze,
but the following very brief points
should be remembered:
1, Vent over fire and adjoining
stores, as condition warrants, 2
Use lines with right-angle nozzles
or cellar pipes at point of vent
over fire in case its use through
such openings is needed, 3. Hither
“get in or get out of doorway,”
for pent-up gasses may flash out
4, Open every store to determine
if fire has entered or exposure
exists. 5, If a roof condition ex-
ists, keep your eye on the adjoin-
ing property. 6, Watch the cellar
for oil-burner heating system, re-
frigerators or chemicals, 7, Take
care in overhauling so as not to
damage salvagable stock, 8, Study
the construction of Taxpayers.

soft drink and candy manufac-
turing industries, at least in the
immediate future. Sizeable lay-
offs have already occurred in a
large soft drink firm in Long
Island City.
The costume-jewelry industry, in
which there ave many small firms
in New York City, was ordered to
stop the use of a long list of
critical metals by May The
substitution, of silver may enable
minufacturers to continue some
production
After May 31 the production of
a wide variety of metal household
furniture will be forbidden, Only,
1,000 workers were employed in
the manufacture of these goods
in 1940; here, too, retail trade
may feel the brunt of the curtail-
ment order,
Shipyards
The labor demand is primari
for pattern and model makers
(more than 900); boatbuilders

Service Industries
The largest demand for workers
in the restaurant industry, as ex-
perienced by the Employment
Service, was for bus girls, counter
girls, kitchen helpers, dishwash-
ers, countermen, and bus boys.
The demand is not easily met, in
part because of discriminatory
hiring practices, but also because
earnings are frequently unattrac-
tive,
Employers and labor union offi-
cials reported that business in the
restaurant industry was poor be-
cause of mounting food costs
which cannot altogether be passed
on to consumers, The demand by
applicants in this field for defense
training can hardly be met.

tions held only within its di
trict, or within a State or local-
ity included within its district, for
local Federal positions. Informa-
tion about such examinations may
be obtained from the district
office or from any board of
United States civil service exam-
iners within the area for which
the examinations are announced.
Examinations for positions in

occupations at Federal reciama-

examinations may be obtained
from the secretary of the board

employment is desired. (See The
LEADER'S examination section,
beginning on page 12.)
Frequency, Purpose of Exams
Each examination is held for the
purpose of determining appli-
cants’ ability to perform a partic-
ular type of work, and the cha:
acter of the examination varies
with the duties of the position for
which it is held. For this reason,
there is no single examination
“which can be used for filling vac-
ancies in every positién in the
Government, or even in a particu-
lar agency.
Examinations are not ordinar-
ily held for a single department

mable fluids) within city limits,
Food, Chemicals, Kindred

Sugar rationing adversely af-
fected candy and soft drink manu-
facturing and resulted in some
labor displacement of unknown
amount,
In firms processing foods, ex-
cept candy, considerable activity
was reported, with many estab-
lishments operating on a 24-hour
basis; it is believed that the food-
processing industry will continue
to be busy for the duration of the
war, The labor supply seems
ample for the demand, particular
ly because employers generally ac-
cept anyone experienced in any
kind of food processing.
In chemical manufacturing, the
large concerns appeared to be
working on government contracts,
with possible prospects of even-
tual shortages in the skilled and
semi-skilled categories. On the
other hand, curtailment in the use
of cyanide, copper, tin, phenol,
formaldehyde and other com-
pounds were causing lay-offs in
firms not working on government
contracts,

type of work involved is not per-
formed in other agencies, If the
same examination can be used to
fill positions in several agencies,
the Commission announces only
one examination for all of them.
While the announcement may con-
tain information about the \par-
ticular positions which are vacant
at the time the examination is an-
nounced, it usually provides also
for the filling of future vacancies
in similar positions in other
agencies by the appointment of
persons who have proved their
qualifications in the examination,
‘As a result, vacant positions (in-
cluding, of course, positions in
newly created agencies) are often
filled by the appointment of per-
sons who have qualified in an ex-
amination held for similar work
in another agency ‘or in the en-
tire service.
Examinations are ordinarily not
held at regular intervals, They
are usually announced only when
the lists of qualified persons
which have been established as a
result of previous examinations
for the type of work involved be-
come inadequate to fill expected
vacancies. The Commission can
not undertake to predict for in-
quirers the date on which it will
be necessary to hold an examina-
tion for a particular position,
Announcement of Examinations
The public 1s notified that an ex-
amination will be held through a
bulletin known as an “examina-
tion announcement." Each of
these announcements contains all
available information about the
examination, including the name
of the position to be filled, the
entrance salary, the deadline for
filing applications, the duties of
the position, the requirements
which must be met by competi-
tors, the basis on which competi-
tors will be rated, the application

that the examiners are wrong

fore the papers are rated.
Microfilm for Test Papers
Dobbins’ latest idea to prevent
any possibility at manipulation of
test papers will be put into ef-
fect as soon as it receives budget
director’s approval. This is to
photograph, on microfilm, all
test papers, as soon as the exam:
ination is over. The prevention of
cheating is only one advantage of
the use of microfilm, The biggest
advantage, from Ed Dobbins’
point of view, is that it will save
invaluable space in the Record
Koom, It will also save filing
equipment which is unobtainable

Actually, a WPA project had

Copies of Tests
In addition to making the candi-
date’s own examtnation papers
available, the Commission also
sells copies of the examination
itself—the question and answers
to the general public, The price
of the questions and answers is
1/100 of 1 percent of the per an-
num salary of the job, ‘Thus, if
you want to buy a past examina-
tion paper for a job that pays
$3,000 a year, it will cost you
thirty cents.
Photostats
Another less known service of
the Record Room permits candi-
dates to have their test papers
photostated. The purpose is to let
the candidates bring duplicates of
their actual test papers home with
them so that they may have out-
side experts go over it. If the out-
side expert finds a mistake, the
candidate may file his manifest
error appeal.

take leaves of absence.”
He said his reason for asking
this is that a vacancy created
by resignation ‘has the effect of
insuring that at least one staff
member who may otherwise be
dismissed be appointed perma-
nently.”’
Said he: ‘Temporary appoint-
ment to leave lines merely means
that the person so appointed oc-
cupies the position only until the
staff member on leave returns.”
Commissioner Hodson admits
that he has no way of gauging
the number of resignations and
leaves to be expected, But he
“wishes to assure the staff that
everything possible will be done
to this end.’
Deputy Commissioner Leo Arn-
stein, of the Welfare Department,
assured employees of that depart-
ment that leaves to enter the
Federal service would be granted,
Hospitals
The Hospitals Department, be-
cause of the loss of many em-
ployees in the draft and the trans-
fer of a considerable number of
nurses into military service, is not

dense industry jobs paying better

son may have his name placed
on file, upon request, for notifica

Quinn Bill

vanna, William A, Carroll and
William M, McCarthy thought the
bill has great possibilities for en-
abling the city to make economies
and, at the same time, to afford
city workers a chance to perform
patriotic work at higher salaries,
They could see no shortage in
view of the fact that the city ob-
viously has enough men to fill the
vacancies, if needed, Couneilman
McCarthy added ‘‘and these men
could always be recalled after the
duration,”
Councilman Frederick Schick
said that ‘the country needs
these men more than the city.
They ought to be enabled to take
war jobs,"
\
“But if something extraordinary
arose,"’ commented one official,
“where an employee was vitally
needed in the war effort, the de-
partment would consider a leave.”
The department, it was stated,
is having a tough enough time
holding on to its employees under
present circumstances. Clerks,
auto enginemen, stock assistants,
attendants and hospital helpers
are looking for and getting better
paying jobs,
Health
The Health Department, in an

Deputy Commissioner Homer R.

tant a place in the current sched-

The Sanitation Department, ac-
cording to Deputy Commissioner
John Morton, is considering no

soever.’
Civil Service €
As for the Civil ervice Com-
mission, several leaves have been
granted, The Commission has
not, however, made it a blanket
policy to grant leaves in all cases,
The probability is that from this
point, the Commission will crack
down on leaves, since a serious
situation could result if the Com-
mission let its people go into Fed-
eral jobs. Many have left al-
ready, and the Commission takes
the attitude that it t afford

Mental Hygiene Notes
By JOHN F. MONTGOMERY
Legislative Lane
Along the legislative front In
the mental hygiene realm:
1, The eight-hour, six-day week
for employees assigned to guard
buildings and grounds of State
institutions is to become effective
July 1, 1943, because of the sign-
ing of the Barrett Bill by Gov-
ernor Lehman,
2. The legislature has approved
extension of the Feld-Hamilton
Law to institutional employees
in Department of Social Welfare,
Health and Education units, ‘This
bill was sponsored by the Asso-
ciation of State Civil Service Em-
to 25,000 institutional
workers, effective July 1, 1943.
The Barrett Bill, which extends
the Feld-Hamilton Law to mental
h institutional employees,
is chapter 133 of the 1942 laws
the Ostertag Bill, which stretches
the eareer law to cover employees
in Correction Department institu-
tions, is currently chapter 132 of
the 1942 law.
2. The Fite Bill, having passed
both houses, at this writing
awaits Governor Lehman's signa-
ture, It author the Civil Ser-
vice Commission to hear remoy-
al and disciplinary charges, ‘This
is to correct a condition whereby
the department head is prosccu-
tor and judge at the same time,
The bill enables the departhient
head to use his discretion in the
matter of referring charges to an
independent tribunal for deter
ination,
4, The Halpern, Bill serves to
protect the pension rights of
those employees obtaining leave
of absence to engage in defense
work or in war industries.

Draftedfor Defense
All the women stenographers,
clerks and other women employees
at Borough Hall, Kew Gardens,
were drafied by Borough Presi-
dent James A. Burke last week
and will be added to the bor-
ough’s civilian defense set-up,
which has been pronounced by
Mayor LaGuardia and Comptrol-
ler Joseph D. McGoldrick the best
in the city.
The women employees, 142 in
number, last week assembled in
the conference room #t Borough
Hall, where they were given first
aid instructions. The women will
man the telephones in the control
room in the basement, doing
three-hour shifts before and after
their regular hours of employ-
ment.
Over the telephones in the con-
trol room, which is the nerve cen-
ter of the defense set-up, every
agency must be communicated with
in any emergency that might
arise, These are the police, fire
and medical departments, the air
raid wardens, office of civilian
defense volunteers and the 700 or
more borough employees now en-
rolled in the Public Works
Emergency organization.
419 More File
For Lifeguard
‘The reduction of age limits from
19 to 18, the elimination of the one
year experience requirement and
the admittance of candidates
throughout the country to the life
guard examination brought 419
additional applications into the of-
fices of the Civil Service Commis-
sion last month. When the appli-
cations were originally opened in
December only 191 had applied,
‘The total number of applications
now on file is 610.
A total of 300 vacancies
exists in the Parks Depart-
ment for life guards to man
the city's beaches this sum-
mer. Salary is $5 per day. All
those who have filed for the
examination will be compelled to
pass a qualifying swimming test.
They will be required to swim,
free-style, 50 yards in 35'seconds.
In addition they will have to dem-
onstrate their ability to swim in
the surf, break holds, dive for
bodies, make free rescues, and
make rescues with machines. ‘The
dates for these tests have not been
set as yet. They will be published
in The LEADER as soon as they
are announced by the Civil Ser-
vice Commission.
Compromise on
Cop Pensions
A compromise seems to have
been reached between Mayor La
Guardia and police line organiza-
tions with the retirement of 61
members of the Police Depart-
ment. The Mayor's ‘‘no-retire-
ment under 55, no retirement
with less than 25 years’ service’
plan has apparently been dis-
carded. However, his insistence
on an average of 40 retirements a
month plus those disabled has
won out,
A policy of retiring able men in
the order in which their pension
applications are filed, has been
adopted. At a meeting of the
Police Honor Legion immediately
after the Pension Fund confab
ended, Sergeant Ross Monroe,
president of the Sergeant's Ben-
nevolent Association, estimated
that at this rate, the. patrolmen
who filed the most recent appii-
cations would be retired ‘not
later than October."
At last week's meeting the ap-
plications for retirement of 40
members of the Police De-
partment, plus those of 21 inca-
pacitated members, were ap
proved, bringing the total to 61.
Altogether, 295 applications for
retirement had been filed with
the pension board, Two hundred
and thirty-four were disapproved.
The next meeting of the Pension
Fund is scheduled for May 18,

Essay Contest
The selection of the prize
winning essays in The LEAD-
ER Contest, “How To Help In
The Battle of Production,”
has simmered down to a
chosen few and the finalists
should he announced within a
week or two. The lucky win-
ners will receive scholarships
from some of the finest de-
fense training schools in the
city. Prizes worth wishing for,
aren't they? Cross your
fingers!
Accountants Can’t
Take Promotion
A request that junior account-
ants in the Department of
Finance be permitted to partici-
pate in the recently ordered pro-
motion test for examiner, grade 4,
office of the Comptroller, w
denied by the Civil Service Com-
mission at its meeting last week,
The Commission pointed out
that recent court decisions speci-
ficially prohibit the establish
ment of oity-wide promotion lists.
In a letter to the Department of
Finance, the Commission stated
that an examiner, grade 4, test
would be ordered for the Finance
Department, provided vacancies
existed in the title and approval
to fill the vacancies is obtained
from the Budget Director.

POSTAL NEWS

Unity in Sight
It looks definitely like amalga-
mation for the 12,000 clerks still
being canvassed for their vote
on consolidating the Gotham
branches of the National Feder
tion of Post Office Clerks and
the United National Association
of Post Office Clerks,
Take the word of William T.
Browne, Jr., president of Local
10 of the NFPOC, the vote is like-
ly to be as one-sided as 95 per-
cent for amalgamation.
Of course, Mr. Browne is prob-
ably a bit optimistic, Neverthe-
less, observers in the field have
been bringing back stories to the
effect that unity will definitely
be achieved, regardless of by how
much, The balloting, at any rate,
is expected to be impressive
enough to help to inspire national
consolidation,
The ballots will not be entirely
counted for another week or s0,
according to Browne,
