U.S. Sets Up
New Promotion
Regulations

The United States Civil Service
Commission last week issued to
Federal agencies regulations sup-
plementing the statement of pro-
t by the Com-
mission on January 26,

‘The Commission stated that the
restrictions granting promo-
tions include the following pro-

motion stani

on

cedures:
(a) That promotions of $300 or
more but jess than $600 above the

entrance rate of the employee's
present position may not be made
until the employee has served for
a period ot at least six months in
his present grade or one of equiy
alent grade level in the Federal
service.

(b) That promotions of more
than $600 above the entrance rate
of the employee's present position
may not be made until the em-
ployee has served at least one year
in his present grade or one of
equivalent grade level in the Fed-
eral service.

Meritorious Cases
(c) That
sonnel of any
thorized representative may,
ing as un agent of the Civil S
ice Commission, in unusu:
meritorious cases make exceptions
to the above requirements when
such an exception is justified by
the employee's entire work ex-
perience and training and his
demonstrated capacity to carry on
effectively the duties and responsi-
bilities of the position in question.
(d) That where any such excen-
tion is made, the case is to be
reported immediately to the Ci
Service Commission for post audit.
Standards
requirement that an em:
yee must serve either six
months or twelve months, as the
case may be, in his present grade,
depending on the amount of the
| promotion, had not been a part
of the Commission’s promotion
standards prior to January
These standards have been in ef-
fect since that time. When the
Commission first issued its regula-
tions, it provided that proposed
exceptions to the standards would
have to be submitted to the Com-
mission for prior decision. The
Commission has now decided to
delegate the authority to pass on
requests for exceptions to Direc-
tors of Personnel or their author-
ized agents. When Directors of
Personnel function in this ca-
pacity, they will be functioning
the Civil Service
ptions grant-

ed by the Dir of Personnel
will be post-audited by the Com-
mission.

Retirement ys.
Social Security

WASHINGTON, — The Presi-
dent's Committee on Retirement
in considering a number of points
in connection with the retirement
set-up in civil service. One sub-
ject that has come up for consid-
ation according to one official,

the fact that social security
offers a better degree of protec-
tion to widows and other depend-
ents than does Civil Service.”

‘The question of the five per cent
deduction from the salaries of
war-service appointees is also un-
der consideration, Many of them
will resign before they e had
five y s of service and would
prefer not to have this pension de
duetion made,

W hy People
Quit U.S. Jobs

The Federal Civil Service Com-
mission prepares a monthly report
of the number of employees leav-
| ing government service.

The analy: of the December
figures, the most recent available,
show that next to the draft, the
chief reasons why people quit
government jobs are low salary
and poor prospects of ad
ment,

per cent of those leaving
i employ gave these as their
reasons. Poor housing facilities,
lack of recreational activities,
night work were othei seasons,

Here's the uniform which girls
of the Army Air Forces Ma-
teriel Command, 67 Broad
Street, New York City, will
wear. The outfit was selected
by a committee of girls after
viewing a great variety of
samples, The uniforms are for
civilian workers, andno military
insignia are worn. We'd like
to hear the opinions of other
Federal gals about the advisa-
bility of wearing uniforms.

W AVES May Get
Jobs Reserved
To Civil Servants

WASHINGTON.—The Navy De-
partment this week opened a
drive to put WAVES in jobs or-
dinarily reserved for civil service
workers, and many observers be-
lieve the War Department soon
will seek similar privileges in the
assignment of WAACS.

Navy, arguing that it is impos-
sible to obtain enough civilians,
got Senate Nayal Affairs Com-
mittee approval for a plan to as-

sign 2,000 WAVES to civilian jobs
here.

The War Department was silent
on the subject. But it is known
that Army officers nave
strongly urged use of WAACS on
civilian jobs,

Civil Service Opposed

Civil Service Commission offi-

Is ge oppose it, But
Commissioner Arth Fleming
frankly admits that ‘‘there is a

trend in that direction.”

Meantime, vy's plans have
provoked heavy criticism in the
House Civil Committee.

U. S. Agencies ‘May’ Requeg,
Deferment for 3-A Employee,

WASHINGTON—The question
of the status of 3-A men in Gov-
ernment has been tossed square-
ly back into the lap of War Man-
power Commission.

And the tossing has been done
by President Roosevelt himself.

He issued his long-awaited ex-
ecutive order on Government
draft deferments last week. In
it, he put it up to War Manpower
to issue definite rules to govern
the much-muddled, much-bungled
matter of 3-B status for the
ny Government men now clas-
ified 3-A.

Specifically, the executive order

said three things of interest to
3-A men:

—Agencies ‘may’ request 3-B

status for all 3-A men outside
the relatively-small list of non-
deferable jobs — messengers, por-
ters, etc.

—However, in making their re-
quests, they must follow new
rules soon to be laid down by the
War Manpower Commission.
3 The rules, when the War Man-
power completes them, shall
treat 3-A men in Government the
same as 3-A men in industry.

What Is Essential?

‘Therefore, as it now stands, the
question for War Manpower to de-
cide is how much of Government
shall be classified as ‘essential
activity.” When that has been
determined, the status of 3-A men
will finally be clear—because, by
previous rules, ALL 3-A men in
“essential” activity, are entitled
to 3-B status.

All men, that is, except those on
the non-deferrable list.

“Necessary Men’
On the subject of 2-B (‘‘neces-

sary man") deferments, the Presi
dent's executive order followed

Congress May
Reduce Size
OF U.S. Agencies

WASHINGTON.—Definite possi-
bility loomed here last week that
Congress will act to limit the size
of Federal agencies.

The matter came up as the Rep.
Robert Ramspeck’s House Civil
Service Committee opened public
hearings in its investigation of
Federal personnel practices.

Throughout the hearings, it was
obvious that Committee members
were thinking in terms of some
sort of limitation, Typifying their
sentiment was a remark by Mr.
Ramspeck:

“There has been a lot of talk,”
he said, “about Congress legislat-
ing to put a limitation on the size
of the Army, It seems to me it
would be far less dangerous and
nearly as effective as a means of
relieving manpower shortages for

ss to legislate on the size|
overnment’s civilian man-

power.

Prime test for 2-B men will be
whether or not their call. to mili-
tary service would represent real
blows to the war effort.

However, before that final test
is applied, it must be determined
that the man occupies a ‘key posi-
tion’; that his job has to do with
producing, transporting or han-
dling war materials; that it has
to do with the maintenance or
operation of war equipment; that
it is of a highly-specialized pro-
fessional or semi - professional
character; that it is one which
ordinarily requires male employes,

New Twists Hold Up Action
On Government Pay Bill

WASHINGTON.—White collar
Government workers here were
up in arms this week over a pro-
posed amendment to the new
Government pay bill.

It would provide that overtime
could be paid only for “time actu-
ally worked” in exéess of 40
hours per week.

And, for a short time early in
the week, it looked very much as
though the Senate Civil Service
Committee actually would make
such a recommendation. Now,
however, Committee members are

believed to be alive to the com-
plications which would ensue,

Powerful Support

Nevertheless, the proposal still
has powerful support from War
and Navy departments, and its
passage is still a possibility, These
departments want the provision
because their per diem workers
(about 60 per cent of all their
employees) already work on that
basis. They argue it would make
for uniformity. Here, however, is
what it would mean to per an-
num employees.

By putting in 40 hours in the
first five days of the week, em-
ployees would earn their base
pay—the same amount they re-
ceived before overtime went into
effect.

By putting in eight hours on
Saturday, they would earn their
overtime pay — 21.6 percent of
their base pay for those on a 48-
hour week,

However, if they took leave on
Saturday, they would lose their
entire overtime pay. °

Moreover, if the proposd amend-
ment were not carefully drawn, it
could happen that the “time
actually worked” clause would
mean loss of overtime pay for

Bonus Plan

Another twist over the pay py
was evidence of growing Congr
sional sentiment for a flat sq
bonus—instead of the
overtime pay.

Presumably, the bonus wou!
apply only to per annum employ
ees, about half of the Goven
ment. Nevertheless, there 1
mained a distinct possibility that
labor-haters in Congress would
seek also to knock out overting
pay for other Government w
ers.

City Opens Examinations for Positions
Fire Departments; Age to 50

In Police,

The Municipal Civil Service
Commission is accepting appli-
cations for the positions of Tem-
porary Policeman and Temporary
Fireman.

Men may file for the position
up to a maximum age limit of 50.
The Civil Service Commission
has set this high maximum age
in order to obtain a large number
of physically fit older men to re-
place those in the armed forces,
and to make certain that Selective
Service will not prevent staffing
of the Police and Fire depart-
ments, The physical and mental
examinations will be far less rigid
than those which have been re-
quired for members of the regu-
lar uniformed departments, but
are designed to assure that those
selected will be capable of per-
forming the duties to which they
may be assigned.

The date of the written exam
is tentatively scheduled for early
April—the earliest possible date
would be April 11, though it may
be later if ari insufficient num-
ber of applicants apply.

For the Duration

Under authority granted by the
State Legislature, tae lists result-
ing from these examinations may
be used only to make duration ap-
pointments to fil! military vacan-
cies, but the entrance salary of
$2,000 which is offered should at-
tract a group of high caliber ap-
plicants.

While men in the 1-A draft
classification at the time of ap-
pointment must be passed over,
the City is planning to ask local
draft boards to grant deferments
to those between 38 and 45 who
receive appointments. Attempts
to obtain a definite ruling on tae
draft status of men in this age
group have so far been without
result, but it is expected that local

tify him for a job on the grounds
that he is withholding informatico
from the Bureau of Investigations.

May Be Fired After Probation

Another provision of the ruling
states that they ‘may drop an
employee at the end of the proba-
tionary period if the defect from
which he suffers is of such a na-
ture as to render him unable to
perform his duties satisfactorily.”

Only a few weeks ago, the Com-
mission had ruled that the only
consideration during the proba-
tionary period was whether or not
the employee was performing his
duties satisfactorily, and that ho
could not be dropped for medical
reasons, The present ruling ap-
parently reverses the former pro-
cedure.

The Ruling

Here's the official ruling as
adopted by the Commission:
J—A candidate, rejected by the

joint medical re-examination,
participated in by departmental
medical examiners and the ex-
aminers and the examiner of the
Commission, and found by them to
lack one or more of the prelimi-
nary medical requirements, shall
be marked N.Q. on the list for all
future certifications, both original
and appropriate. fe

After such finding, the facts

disclosed by the medical ex-
amination shall be forwarded to
the department where the candi-
date is working, if he shall have
been appointed to an appropriate
position ir, the City service with-
out regard to whether or not he
has completed his probationary
period, The question of retaining
the employee in City service shall
be left to the department after it
has been fully informed of tho
findings of the medical examiners,
3—The Commission will recognize

the right of the department to
drop the employee at the end of
his probationary period if the med-
ical defect from which he suffers

boards will cooperate with the
City and grant the deferments.

‘Those men qualifying in the ex-
aminations will receive appoint-
ments in the very near future.
There are eligible lists available
for both the Police and Fire de-
partments, but the lists are near
exhaustion and the Commission
is doubtful of finding many more
men on these lists whose draft
status will allow them to be ap-
pointed to the departments.

At present there are approxi-
mately 1,000 military-leave vacan-
cies divided between the two de-
partments which will have to be
filled by these examinations in
order to provide needed protec-
tion for the City.

Here is the official announce-
ment of the Municipal Civic

Service Commission with complete

requirements
about the jobs:

is of such a nature as to render
him unable to perform such serv-
ices satisfactorily.

How It’s Done

The Commission also approved
the following procedures:

1, Cases where the Bureau of
Investigation discovers that the
candidate has been rejected by the
draft hoard for medical defect.

In such cases the Investigation
Bureau shall write to the draft
board for all details. When the
record is received from the draft
board, the Investigation Bureau
shall then call the certification
bureau and find out if the em-
ployee in question is working in
an appropriate position.

‘Through the Application Bureau,
the Investigation Bureau shall
notify the candidate to appear for
a medical re-examination. Simul-
taneously, the Investigation Bu-
reau shall forward to the medical
examiner the report from the
draft board and shall state
whether or not the candidate is
employed in an appropriate posi-
tion, and if employed, the depart-
ment where he works. If not em-
loyed, the Investigation Bureau
shall so state

2. Cases where the candidate is
rejected after departmental ex-
amination,

In such cases, the information of
rejection comes first to the Cer-
tification Bureau,
duty of the Certification Bureau
in such cases to summon the can-
didate for a joint medical re-
examination and to forward to the
medical examiner a memorandum
informing him whether or not the
candidate has been appointed to
any appropriate position and if so,
the department.

‘The medical examiner at the
time of examination shall check
whether the candidate is still
working in an appropriate position
and in his report to the Commis-
sion shail indicate what informa-
tion shall be sent to the employ-
ing department. ‘

RanenLeaves Welfare Dept.
To Become an AFL Official

Ellis Ranen, for 11 years a
member of the Welfare Depart-
ment, and for 7 of those years
its Director of Industrial Rela-
tions, last week sent in his resig-
nation. While there had long
been rumors that Mr, Ranen con-
templated leaving the post where
he had established many unique
procedures in the relationship be-
tween management and employ-
ees, the stocky, white-haired of-
ficial refused to say definitely
that he was leaving until his

letter to that effect was al-
ready in.
Ranen, heretofore on the side

of management in departmental
labor questions, leaves to become
@ representative of tne American
Federation of Labor. His full
title is Representative for the
East, American Federation of State,
County and Munic:pal Employees
(AFL), His work will include
consultation, amalgamation, and
negotiation for AFL civil service
employee groups over a large ter-
ritory of operation, While Mr,
Ranen thus does not intend to
confine himself solely to New
York City, his headquarters have
been set up at 261 Broadway,
Manhattan,

Works on Four Problems
In describing his new duties,
Mr. Ranen digreséed to remark:
“I feel proud of the fact that
after seven years on the side of

management. I'm acceptable to
the labor movement.” He states,
too, that while he has as yet

evolved no program of action, he
will immediately undertake ac-
tion on certain matters “irking

employees of this City.”
matters:

1. Salary raises.

2. The right to hold outside jobs
(Ranen doesn’t like the way some
City officials are trying to cir
cumyent this right in the face
of a legal decision).

3, Enlargement of promotion op-
portunities,

4, Enlightenment on the subject
of staff relations

Referring to his program of
amalgamation, Ranen states that
he means by this ‘a unity of ac-
tion on important issues by all
AFL employee organizations—in-

These

cluding the firemen, teachers,
postal workers, as well as the
others now existing,”

Education

He states that he considers it
to be one of his functions to “edu-
cate’ both employees and admin-
istrators on the subject of labor
relations. ‘‘Few of them under-
stand labor relations,” he said,
“and noise will not solye the
problems of employees.”

As industrial relations man in
the Welfare Department, Ranen
held the only position of its kind
in any municipality of the coun-
try. While, by the very nature
of his work, he had frequent dis-

putes with employee organiza.
tions, his policies were in the
main considered “liberal.” The

Civil Service Assembly and other
civic bodies often spoke highly of

What permanent arrangements
will be made is as yet undecided,

Bill Introduced
To Prohibit
Pay Garnishment

ALBANY. — Albany merchants
and service industries are report-
ed aroused over a bill reputedly
sponsored by tae administration
of Mayor LaGuardia to prohibit
execution or garnishment against
the salary of any public employee
for non-payment of debts.

The proposal is even wider in
scope than its reference to State
employees, for it would apply to
any public employee whether for
the State, any city, or other "pub-
lie corporation."

Introduced by State Senator
Frederic R, Coudert, Jr, Man-

hattan Republican, the heart of
the bill is one brief paragrapa
which says:

“Notwithstanding the provisions
of any other law, the salary or
compensation of any officer or
person paid in whole or in part
from the State treasury or from
the treasury of a public corpora.
tion shall not be subject to exe-
cution or garnishment.’”

A spokesman for Mayor La-
Guardia said:

“It's aimed at the loan sharks
in New York City who prey upon
our City employees, They entice
them to buy merchandise beyond
their means and then loan them
the money to buy it at exorbitant
rates, Anyway," he continued,
“it's only what the Federal Goyv-
ernment does in Washington,
‘They protect the employes against
garnishees,"*

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

Non-Teaching
Education Jobs
Imperilled

A bill introduced into the State
Legislature with the fancy pre-
amble, ‘in any city of one mil-
lion inhabitants or more,” which

may mean New York, would
make it possible for the Board
of Estimate rather than the

Board of Education, or tae Board
of Higher Education, or the Civil
Service Commission, to fix non-
teaching salaries in the City
school system,

Under the proposed change,
which was introduced by Assem-
blyman Moffat, and referred to
the Committee on Ways and
Means, the following might hap-
pen:

1. Future appointments could be
at tae minimum salaries, and per-
sons now on the staff may face a
reduction to the minimum.

2. The bill emphasizes the pos-
sible protection of pension con-
tributions, but paves the way for
salary cuts in the school system.

Can't Retire
After Death

A ruling which bars the Board
of Education from approving an
employee's application for retire-
ment after his death was handed
down by the Appellate Division
of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn
last week,

‘The case was brought by Mrs.
Mary McAllen, whose husband
had been employed by the Board
as a custodian. He tad suffered
a stroke, filed an application for
pension, and died shortly after,
Several months after his death,
the pension was granted, an ac-

tion whi Mrs, MeAllen
a difference of approximately
$1,500 from the amount of
death benefit which she would

‘nave received if the pension had
not heen granted,

Legal Authority Explains Your Rights
And Restrictions on Spare-Time Job

If the City administration tries
to enforce its “disapproval of
City employees holding outside
part-time jobs,” it’s sticking its
neck out legally.

That's the opinion of one of
New York’s leading authorities
on civil service law, who request-
ed that his name be withheld, in
2 statement to The LEADER.

Here are his views:

Certain employees, Police, Fire-
man, ets. who are presumably on
call 24 hours a day probably may
not take outside work.

What a vept. Can Do
If the head of a department

notices that a worker's efficiency
is falling off, and finds that this
is due to his working after hours,
he can request the employee to
give up the other job.

‘The City has a reasonable right,
he said, to limit the type of work
in which a certain employee may
engage—if that work interferes
with his duties as a City worker.
Example:

A member of a City purchasing
department who takes a job with
@ concern that sells to the City
leaves himself open to suspicion.

A City lawyer who engages in
outside practice is expected to
avoid cases which in any way con-
cern the City.

Workers such as subway motor-
men whose work demands a high

Letter-W riting
Course Offered

A course in Letter Writing is be-
ing offered to employees of the
New York City Housing Authority
by the Bureau of Training of the
NYC Civil Service Commission.

Weekly sessions of 1% hours on
Fridays starting March 12 will be
held during working hours. At-
tendance ut the course is consid-
ered a job assignment, and em-
ployees may register through their
department head.

Employee May
Retire, Even
If Suspended

A Court of Appeals decision that
may have wide importance to civil
service employees was hande'l
down last week. ‘The decision
said, in effect, that the filing of
charges against an employee, and
even his suspension, don't pro-
hibit him from seeking retirement

‘The case was that of Roglin vs.
New York City Teachers Retire-
ment Board. Maurice Roglin,
principal of New Utrecht High
School, was suspended on March
25, 1942, without pay after charges
had been preferred against him,
Two days later Mr. Roglin applied
for retirement and was refused,
on the ground that he was under
suspension. Roglin took the mat-
ter to court, and the present de-
cision resulted,

‘There was, however, a dissenting
opinion by lwo judges, registered
on the ground that the filing of
charges and suspension terminates
service “conditionally,” or at least
interrupts it.

Firemen’'s Post
Puts on
Military Pageant

One of the big firemen’s events
of the year came last Friday
night, when the New York Fire
Department Post No. 930, Amer!
can Legion, put on its
Military Pageant. All
boys of the Fire Department were
there, as well as the State and
County commanders of the or-
ganizations, There was a show
that gave the men plenty of fun,
good laughs, and patriotic spirit.
Commander of the Post is P.
Joseph Connolly,

Catholic Club Invites

Civil Service Singers

The Catholic Club of the City
of New York has organized a
Singing Group for men, both
ung and old.

This organization, under the
direction of Phillp Carney,
gathers around the piano at the
club headquarters, on the 17th
floor of the Hotel Waldorf-As-
toria, on Thursday evenings, at
8 p.m

At present they are rehearsing
for an appearance on Easter Sun-
day at St, Patrick's Cathedral;
at the Pontifical Mass,

Civil service men interested in
joining the Catholic Club's Sing-
ing Group are requested to com-
municate with Mr, Carney, Tae
Catholic Club, Waldorf-Astoria,
New York, or call ELdorado
5-6541 any week-day from 2 to 6,
or from 7 to 9 p, m.

degree of alertness may be pre-
vented from taking outside work
which might leave them “groggy”
with fatigue,

A blanket rurmng forbidding out-
side part-time employment, he
said, is clearly illegal.

He scoffed at a memorandum is-
sued recently by Esther Bromley,
Civil Service Commissioner, dub-
bing it “‘both invalid and unwise.”

City employees have every legal
right to do whatever they please,
on their own: time, and unless it
interferes w:ih therr giving the
City its money’s worth for the
salary they get, the administration
has no right to interfere,

‘That's the opinion or a man who
has spent his whole life in a study
of civil service law.

City Would Continue
Low Pay to Firemen

‘The City intends to appeal the
recent Supreme Court decision in
the case of Michael F. Allen vs.
the City of New York, providing
for a $400 judgment against the
City. The ruling held that the
City must pay all firemen ap-
pointed to the uniformed force of
the Fire Department a starting
salary based on a $2,000 per an-
num rate.

The decision, which affects
1,602 firemen appointed since
July 1, 1939, when ‘the $1,200

starting salary was originally im-

Asks Dewey
To Use Sales Tax
For Pay Rise

Henry Feinstein, president of the
Federation of Municipal Em-
ployees, last week requested Gov-
ernor Dewey to allocate part of
the revenue from the proposed ex-
tension and increase of the New
York City Sales Tax to provide a
15 percent increase In salaries to
City employees earning less than
$3,000 per year.

The request tracea the history
of the sales tax from its original
purpose of easing depression un-
employment to its present use as
a medium, “to discharge the tax
exempt exactions of City Credi-
tors.”

Feinstein stated that the Fed-
eration does not advocate the en-
action of additional sales taxes,
but, if the Legislature does pass
such a statute, the Federation pro-
poses that part of its revenue be
used to adjust employees’ salaries,

posed, would cost the City more
than $600,000.

The Supreme Court decision
pointed out that the acts of the
Board of Hstimate in creating the
title of “probationary fireman’
and in determining a salary rate
of $1,200 a year for the first six
months of service on the fire
force, has violated the City’s ad-
ministrative code. The cote pro-
vides that firemen appointees be
assigned to the fourth grade,
which carried $2,000 per annum
salary rate in accordance with the
manner in which it was fixed by
the Board of Estimate in 1930, and
which hasn't changed.

What Probation Means

“It is true,” held Justice Bern-
stein, “that the Administrative
€ode provides for a period of pro-
bation prelim:nary to a permanent
appointment, but it expressly de-
clares that ‘the service during pro-
bation shall be deemed to be sery-
ice in the uniformed force if suc-
ceeded by a permanent appoint-
ment, and as such shall be in-
cluded and counted in determining
eligibility for advancement, pro-
motion and pension.’ The purpose
of the provision was to withhold
from new appointees to the de-
partment rights and prerogatives

that attach to civil service, and
not to deprive them of tenure.”

The Accused Was Freed,
The Witnesses Suspended

missioner Matthew J. Desirio, he
was reinstated. However, Pas-
quale Carone and Frank Tamper-
ino, two witnesses who appeared
at the hear were both suspended.

Seems that the department pro-
dused statements from these men
claiming that Mr. Hughes was
guilty.

Mr. Hughes union, the SCMWA,
produced statements from these
men that Mr. H. was not guilty,
and that they had only said
under duress, and were sorry.
‘They told the union that their
foremen had told them to sign
the paper. They figured if they
didn't sign it they would be
trought up on charges of refusing
to follow orders so they signed.

See, It’s Simple

Commissioner Desirio felt that
it two statements were contra-
dictory, one of them must be
wrong, and suspended the men on
charges of making “a false re-
port or statement.

Mr, Desirio tushed the idea that
union affiliations had anything to
do with the matter—‘‘oh, no, no,
no!''—and said that every man in
the Department was a “sanita-
tion man to me and nothing
more.”

Maybe It’s Unfai

In the meanwhile, the SCMWA
reports that the two men are still
suspended. They also feel that
there may be something a wee
bit unfair about the system in

pended, then has to wait around
until the Commissioners get ready

Seamstresses
Ask Prevailing
Rate of Pay

A number of seamstresses and
laundry workers, working for the
Hospital Department, filed com-
plaints with the Comptroller's Of-
fice back in 1941, in which they
protested against the fact taat
they did not think they were re-
ceiving the prevailing rate of pay
for the work they were doing.

According to law, the Comp-
troller’s Office 1s supposed to con-
“duct a survey to determine the
circumstances in such a case. Ae
yet, nothing nas been done about
this, and it seems, according to
David Savage, attorney for these
hospital+workers, that they won't
hear anything until some time in
1944.

The trouble ties, according to
the attorney, in the fact that
there are only a nalf dozen or so
investigators available for this
work which should have a staff
of 25. ‘The administration has
made no move to appoint tem-
porary investigators to help clear
up the situation.

An Interview With Dr. Mills
Of Creedmoor State Hospital

This time Dr. George Mills,
edmoor State Hospital super-
intendent in Hollis, hasn't any
answers at all.

A glib individual, Dr. Mills
usually is equipped to fence off
any verbal antago All
through The LEADER'S expose
series last summer he alibied and

squirmed out of innumerable
batches of verbal cacti. Condi-
tions at Creedmoor couldn't

possibly be attributed to him. So
he contended.

This week the epidemic of dys
entary that has resulted in more
than a few deaths at Creedmoor
plopped right into Dr. Mills’ little
lup and he has been unable to rid
himself of its entangling arms.
Now he faces an official State
probe initiated by the Governor.

Is it really bad, Dr. Mills, this
dystentery epidemic?

‘es, it is,’ he admitted,
Why haven't dysentary victims

heen isolated in special wards
rom other patients? And
haye tubercular patients been

permitted to handle dishes and
food?

“I don't know what you mean
by isolated. I think you are t
ing to use medical terms. As for
handling dishes and food, I have
nothing to say.”

If it’s true that “‘T. B.”

Vets Would Get
New Privileges
Under State Bill

ALBANY—Civil service employ-
ees are aroused over the progress
of the Downey bill which would
give veterans and volunteer fire-
men preferential treatment, and
over the bill of Assemblyman J.
D, Bennett which would suspend
all civil service.

While civil service employee or-
ganizations are loathe to fight the
Downey measure or any veteran
legislation at this time, they are
alarmed by the probable adoption
of the proposal.

The Downey bill amends the
State Constitution, It provides
that when a civil service position
is abolished or the number of po-
sitions are reduced in any bureat
or when it becomes necessary to
discharge or suspend persons in
public employment, honorably dis-
charged veterans, including wom-
en, and volunteer firemen shall be
entitled to preference in retention,

Will Go to People

‘This proposal passed the Legis-
lature last year as the Page bill.
If it again passes this year it will
go to the people this fall for
their rejection or ratification as
an amendment to the Constitu-
tion. Civil service proponents be
lieve it is bad legislation and
would be harmful to civil service.
‘They fear, too, that the next step
will be to give veterans preference
in appointment and promotion,
regardless of their examination
vating, so long as the individual
got a passing mark,

An effort was made in the Con-
stitutional Convention in 1938 to
put through a veteran preference
amendment, but the civil service
lobby beat the proposal. Disabled

veterans now have civil service
preference.
Civil service spokesmen said

there is no more reason to give
volunteer firemen preferential
{ment than members of the
Red Cross or air raid wardens or
fire wardens or USO workers,
Would Suspend Civil Service
The Bennett bill would suspend
all civil service lists, would pro-

hibit appointments from such
ts, would prohibit any more
civil service examinations and

provides that all appointments to
positions be made on a provisional
basis, regardless of the classifica-
tion. In other words, the meas-
ure would scrap the whole civil
service set-up. Opponents don't
expect it will pass and contend
that in any event it is unconsti-
tutional.

© tember, that treatment y

tients have been permitted to han-
dle dishes and edibles, and you
claim you didn’t know of any
such situation, how do you recon-
cile this with the fact that all
patients are physically examined
—or at least supposed to be—be-
fore being permitted to enter the
hospital?

“Again, I have nothing to say.”
But saying nothing may be saying
plenty.

One employee of the institution
told The LEADER this week that
wards weren't isolated until the
disease “had spread too fay," that
dysentery started in $ building in
wards seven and three last Sep-
s not
even prescribed until mid-Janu-
sry.

Things Wrong

That the Board of Health has
tested a Creedmore washing ma-
chine and found it inadequate for
sterilization purposes, that the
Proper equipment for sterilizing
dishes isn't available.

That yellow soap has been con-
sidered as a powerful enough
disinfectant to stop the spread of

the epidemic, whereas _lysol
hasn't been provided until re-
cently.

That no stress was placed upon
the wearing of gowns by attend-
ants to protect them before they
changed to street rainment,
‘That four male attendants have
been trying to care for 729 pa-
tients day and night. ‘That one
attendant has been delegated with
the task of taking care of four

Bill Provide
For All State

ALBANY — Two bills to raise
the pay of the State’s 50,000 em-
ployees to meet rising costs were
introduced last week by Senator
Seymour Halpern and Assembly-
man Elisha T. Barett, both Re-
publicans, in behalf of the Asso-
ciation of State Civil Service Em-
ployees.

One measure provides for a 10
percent pay boost for salaries up
to $2,500 and for an added 5 per-
cent on salaries over $2,500 and
up te $5,000. The lowest increase
would be $120 a year and the
highest $375. The bill appropri-
ates $6,600,000.

A second bill would increase
salaries as living costs rise. It’s
the same as last year’s measure
which the Republican legislative
leeaders themselves initiated and
which Governor Lehman vetoed.
This bill provides for pay in-
creases in multiples of 10 percent
on the basis of living costs as de-
termined by an index. It uppro-
priates $4,200,000, Idea for the
bill was proposed by the Associa-
tion of State Civil Service Em-
ployee:

Dewey Opposed

It is the opinion of those who
have the ear of Governor Dewey,
however, that he is not disposed
to look favorably upon any gen-
eral pay rise bill this year, He
has given, through legislation, a
pay increase for mental hygiene
employees and has raised the
minimum salary for hundreds of
employees to $1,200 a year.

According to those close to the
Governor, he feels, that this is
enough for one year. ‘The chances
are that the pay rise bills will not
be enacted into law this year.

In submitting the pay boost pro-
posais, Senator Halpern issued a
ement saying:

f living consts continue to
rise and if price controls fail to
prevent inflation, then it is clear
that employees on fixed salaries
must receive some help.

‘Thousands of state
are now working in
their regular hours
must expect to work more and
time departments
ions become more un-

employees
excess of
and they

wards consisting of violent pa-
tients.

That three persons have died
since January 1 and six prior to
that date because of “amoebic
dysentary.””

‘That the staff remains vastly
undermanned because of distaste-
ful working conditions such as
overstrain, low wages and far
from edible food (some workers
prefer eating off the grounds at
their own expense)

That such incidents as the re-
cent violent death of Karem
Dowicy, 42-year-old inmate, re-
sulting from a fist fight with Gil-
hert Hamilton, 55-year-old pa.
tient at the hospital two decades
(an incident that caused Queens
District Attorney Charles P, Sul-
livan te fling a charge of “‘appar-
ent laxity’), will re-oceur because
of a help shortage.

Overtime Doesn't Help

‘That the new measure requiring
attendant to work overtime at
straight overtime rates isn't help-
ing the situation any because Dr.
Mills has capitalized upon it to
warn wotkers of approaching
trouble if they don’t respond fa-
vorably,

Here's a program for cleaning
up the situation:

A $1,200 minimum and a 15 per-
cent overall increase to meet the
rising cost of living.

‘Time and a half for overtime
over eight hours. :
Improved food quality,
Increased consideration for em-
ployees endangered by disease,

(See Editorial, page 8)

s Pay Boost
Employees

of employees who enter military
service and war production proj-
ects.””

According to representatives of
the employees, the Governor's ob-
jection that he doesn't want to in-
crease state costs by approving a
general pay rise plan at this time
is discounted by lower personnel
costs because of the number of
vacancies ‘They assert that the
proposed pay increase would add
litle to the over-all cost of the
State since it would be largely
absorbed by savings resulting
from vacant positions,

State Steno
List Appears

The State list for the position
of Junior Stsnographer appeared
last week, containing 1,795 names.
A total of 14,900 persons originally
filed to take the exam, but by the
time the test was held, on Octobe:
4, 1941, this number had been re-
duced to 8,845, Here's the com:
plete statemen

Passed . 1,795
Failed 7,150
Absent 5,550

Disapproved 82
Disqvalitied 0

‘The position pays $900 to $1,400
a year, though it is probable that
no appointments will be made at
less than $1,200. Appointees from
the list will be used for State and
county services, However, in
view of the fact that the test was
held @ year-and-a-half ago, Com-
mission officials expressed the
view that a comparatively small
number would be available to fill
opening:

New York City takes the prize
for the top two names on the list
—Beatrice Kuntz, of 1021 Gerard
Avenue, the Bronx, hitting first
place with a grade of 98 per cent;
and Mildred Mervis, 1634 Union
Street, Brooklyn, coming in a close
second with 97.82. Number 3 is
Jean Stokely, 24 Laurel Street,
Floral Park.

The Army-Navy College

Training Program \

WHEN THE NEXT COLLEGE TERM BEGINS, it will be
hard to distinguish the campus from the Army training camps. The
great majority of men students, except for the small number dis-
qualified for military service for physical reasons will be getting
military or naval pay, and studying under strict discipline. The
civilian faculty will conduct the classes, but the question of what
a student studies, at which college, and whether or not he is al-
lowed to complete his course will be in the hands of his command-
ing officer. Here's the latest set-up under which the Army and the
Navy will handle the college-student-service-man problem:

NAVAL MEN IN COLLEGE

The plan of the Navy Department calls for training of
students as apprentice seamen on active duty. Students will wear
uniforms, be under naval discipline. The main purpose of the pro-
gram is to train officers for the Navy.

Participating colleges are chosen by a joint committee of
the Army, Navy, and War Manpower Commissions.

Enlisted men between 17 and 23—high school graduates with
not more than three years of college, recommended by their com-
manding officers, and making a grade of 85 on the classification
test, will be eligible. Must be unmarried, and agree to remain
bachelors until commissioned unless released sooner by the Navy
Department,

Candidates will be permitted to state the college they prefer
on the Navy list, and the Navy will try to grant their wish. They
may make a preliminary choice of the branch of the service they
wish to enter, and indicate the course they prefer: medicine, engi-
neering, other specialist lines, but the final say-so depends on their
competence and the quotas to be met. i

STUDENTS NOW IN COLLEGE, and enlisted men of the
Navy and Naval Reserve interested in continuing their studies
should write to the Joint Committee for the Selection of Non-
Federal Educational Institutions, Room 3732, Navy Department,
Arlington Annex, Washington, D. C.

Semesters will begin in July and November, 1943, and in
March, 1944. !

In addition to straight naval men, the Navy quota will in-
clude: Coast Guard, 270 civilians, 450 enlisted men; Marine Corps,
2,500 civilians, and 1,000 enlisted men,

All students will hold the lowest rank in their service, and
those enrolling will lose any higher rank they may hold. A Chief
Petty Officer, for instance, would be demoted to Apprentice Sea-

man upon starting his college term. ;

THE ARMY PROGRAM $

The War Department has set up a system for uniform train-
ing at colleges throughout the United States of enlisted men who
will be trained to meet the technical needs of the Army and to
provide a source of material for Officer Candidate Schools.

Classification officers or unit personnel officers will desig-
nate the men in their organization who have completed their basic
training and meet the initial qualifications.

These men will then be given a standard test for college
aptitude. A selection board will interview the candidates who have
made over 110 on the test. The commanding officer will make
the assignment. =

Selection for the basic program is limited to men who have
not passed their 22nd birthday, are high school graduates, or have
the equivalent of a high school education.

The advanced program is open to men 18 or over who have
had one or more years of college, and can pass rigid tests.

Preference will be given to men who are qualified to study
electrical, chemical, civil, and mechanical engineering,

Each man will hold the rank of private and receive that pay
and privileges. Non-coms will be reduced to that rank on entering
the course. ea

The basic program will train men in college mathematics,
physics, and chemistry to prepare them’ for their Army work. On
completion of their work, or at the discretion of the commanding
officer, they will be assigned to O.C.S., to immediate service with
a combat unit, or for advanced study.

Advanced courses include: pre-medical and medical, pre-
dental and dental, pre-veterinary and veterinary, engineering, spe-
cial work such as area studies and personnel psychology.

The program is split into a number of 12-week terms, each
of which is expected to cover the ground which took a full college
term,

The planned schedule calls for 6 hours of military condition-
ing and 5 hours of military instruction weekly. Men will be off
from late Saturday afternoon until Sunday evening,

Information may be obtained through commanding officers
of the various units, or from the Commanding General of Service
Commands, through Army channels,

The Stinking Mess
Must Be Cleaned U,

bi |

July 15, 1941,

Before that time, and since, this newspaper has dug and
probed and hunted and exposed the incredible conditions that pre-
vail in New York State’s mental hygiene hospitals.

This isn't the first crusade The LEADER has undertaken,
And when we start to clean up a dirty situation in public employ-
ment, we don't stop until something is done about it.

It's more than a year-and-a-half since we started our cam-
paign—and now something is being done about it. Governor Dewey
has ordered a probe of Creedmoor Hospital, after a letter from State
Senator Seymour Halpern verifying what this newspaper had been
saying right along.

We are placing the files of this newspaper—containing many
detailed articles about conditions in Mental Hygiene — at the dis-
posal of the Governor and of Archie O. Dawson, his investigating

T IS a stinking mess that affects the entire population of
New York State.”
These words appeared in a LEADER editorial dated

j HERE’S WHAT WE EXPOSED

On August 12, 1941, we ran a full page of letters from hos-
pital attendants, giving them a chance to speak up, and tell their own
bitter stories,

On March 24, 1942, we reported the presence of “Jim Crow”
at Creedmoor and: on June 2, 1942, we ran a story with the head-
line: INSIDE STORY OF RACE BIAS IN N., Y, STATE MEN-
TAL HYGIENE INSTITUTIONS.

On June 9, 1942, we revealed how employees at Creedmoor
were forced to sign away their commutation rights.

On June 23, 1942, we spoke of the food conditions subse-
quently noted by Senator Halpern, Our headline; BAD FOOD AT
CREEDMOOR HOSPITAL COSTS LOTS MORE THAN
IT'S WORTH.

On June 30, 1942, we revealed the workings of “The Creed-
moor Gestapo.”

On July 7, we took up the problem of shortages among at-
tendants—and proved how those shortages could—and have—re-
sulted in deaths.

On July 28, we told about tragedy in Pilgrim State Hospital.

On August 4, 1942, we went into Central Islip, and the story
ran under the headline; AT CENTRAL ISLIP, CONDITIONS
KILL EMPLOYEE MORALE,

On August 11, 1942, we went back to Pilgrim State, with a
story of the situation there that ran under the head: FOR ATTEND-
ANTS OR PATIENTS, PILGRIM STATE IS NO BED OF
ROSES,

And so, until this very month, when we ran an item, in our
issue of March 2, “Attention Creedmoor Hospital: The dysentary
epidemic which killed 10 isn't hushed up at all.” And in last week's
issue, we first revealed exclusively that Governor Dewey was quietly
probing the situation,

THANKS, MR. GOVERNOR!

Naturally, we're glad that our digging and persistence hasn't
been for nothing. The Governor and Senator Halpern deserve full
some thanks from the entire citizenry for their promptness
swooping down upon Creedmoor, In appointing a Moreland Commis-
sioner to “examine and investigate the management and affairs at
Creedmoor,” Dewey has acted with directness that must bring re-
sults. We suggest that the Governor extend this probe beyond the
confines of this one hospital. The entire Mental Hygiene Depart-
ment, and every hospital which operates under it, require careful
Scrutiny.

\ Once and for all, this stinking mess must be cleaned up.

First Things Come Firs

MAT, you didn’t get a pay increase this week?
W Well, don't take it out on your country! It’s that much
tougher to buy war bonds — but the purpose of those bonds
fs to maintain the kind of nation where you'll be able to speak up
for a pay raise at any time!
So dig in — hold off on other things—war vonds come first!

They're saying the New Deal
choice for Mayor in 1945 will be
either Charles Poletti or Ferdi-
nand Pecora, in case William
O'Dwyer isn't available...
Either one could have labor sup-
port in a fight against LaGuardia,

Mayor has been offered a Briga-
dier Generalship, is holding out
for the two stars of a Major
General ,, . The Army bans civil-
jans from its new, 16-chair bar-
ber shop in the Pentagon Build-
ing, So there's a move afoot to
open a new shop there — for
civilians only . . . Add embar-
rassing moments: William Nally,
prexy of the Irish-American As-
sociation of the Sanitation De-
partment, was presenting budget-
man Ed Peyton with $50 as the
latter was leaving for the Army.
Nally made a nice speech, then
reached into his pocket for the
check ,.. It was gone... Some
prankster had relieved him of it
on his way to the dais There
may be personnel shortages, but
Commissioner Wilson is giving
presents to girls in his depart-
ment who join the WAACs or
the WAVES ... Helen Whistler,
LEADER Merit Man, is now a
Lieutenant with .he WAACs...
In digging up the data which ap-
peared in our series of stories
about the State mental hospitals,
we sometimes came across facts
so fantastic that we didn't print

them without  triple-checking.
“What's Behind It?
Internal friction in the Uni-

formed Firemen's Association, be-
tween older and younger firemen,
has an important cause in the
differing pens'on payments made
by the two groups—the younger
men put in a far higher percent-
age of their income. . . » Many

Hospital Worker

Expresses Disgust

Sirs; The conditions in City
Hospital ave getting worse, Em-
ployees are leaving every day for
outside jobs with more pay,

It's about time the Mayor and
the rest that are with him stop
being dictators and act like hu-
man beings. All City employees
should get a living wage. Hos-
pital employees who have been
on the job for more than two
yeays should get more pay than
beginners.

The employee dining room in
Bellevue should be closed because
of the bad odors that make it
impossible to eat there. I don't
know why all of the employees
can’t get tae same food to eat.

It might help, too, if employees
who have left to take other jobs
can come back with seniority,

HOSPITAL EMPLOYEE,

Letters like this have been
coming into The LEADER offices:
with increasing frequency, There's
a problem of morale involved here
which City officials would do well
not to overlook.—EDITOR,

Merit Men

“WE'RE NOT a_holier-than-
thou organization, but we feel
that a little religion will make a
better man for the Parks Depart-
ment, for his family, and for the
employee himself.”

William H. Sleeper, Jr., speak-
ing, and as president of the Saint
George Association of the Parks
Department, now finishing his
second term, he can look around
and see 300 men in the depart-
ment wearing the gold and blue
button with the St. George em-
blem,

Besides building up the morale
of the Jepartment by fostering the
religious lives of the employees,
the association goes in for a lot
in welfare activities which are
kept quiet as a matter of prin-
ciple.

‘As Mr. Sleeper puts it ‘There
are caves where there is nothing
in the rule books to apply but a
man needs help.”

Busy With Service Men

Right now the thing that keeps
busy is the war.
Every time a member of the staff
ves for the Army he gets a kit
mplete with everything from
shaving cream to cigarettes, and
a drawer in Mr, Sleeper's desk is
full of letters of thanks from the
boys who were away when their
kits caught up with them.

With the WAVES, WAACs,
SPARS, and lady Marines attract-
ing the girls, he faced the task
of designing a kit to meet the
needs of the fairer sex, and he
handled that job nicely.

His yegular job with the Parks
Department is Supervisor of Main-
tenance for the Bronx. He doesn't
like to talk about his job, but is
willing to spend any time talking

QUESTION, PLEASE

A Second Test?

S. A. A practical typing test
given by the head of a Federal
Department has no effect on the
rating you received in your civil
service typing test. The appoint-
ing officer of a department does
not have to hire you merely be-
cause your name has been cer'ti-
fied to him along with other's who
passed the examination, If he
wishes, he can give you a prac-
tical test and base his selection on
the results of this test. If you
are not selected by him, you re-
main on the eligibles’ list and are
certified for the next vacancy.

How Not to
Accept a Job

H.J.: If you do not wish to ac-
cept an appointment from an eli-
gibles’ list, write to the NYC Civil
Service Commission and ask that
your name be removed for a speci-
fied period of time. Offers of ap-
pointment muy be declined for one
of five reasons: 1—Insufficient com-
pensation; 2—location; 3—tempor-
ary nature of the work; 4—objec-
tionable nature of the work, and
5—temporary inability (sickness,
ete,).

is not thoroughly, totally and ab-
solutely dead. In our opinion the
failure to conduct a campaign
along modern lines is to an extent
responsible for the death of the
chances for the much-needed and
deserved pay increase for cops.
We said last week that Pat's
weekly trips to Albany weren't
swinning the pay increase for cops
and that unless he undertook the
organization of a broad campaign
among all cops and their friends
and relatives—a campaign to con-
vince the public and the legisla-
ture of the justice of the eop’s

Pat did that he might just as well
hit his head agaiast a stone wall.

ineffective action.

In all our articles on police prob-
Jems we haye never expressed any
opinion that was not the opinion
of the overwhelming majority of
the men on the job. We believe
that for the first time cops are
making their voice heard through
this column because for the first
time cops are overcoming their
ancient prejudice against pub-
licity. ‘That accounts for the
fact that we receive more letters
today from members of the force
than ever before,

We like to feel that because of
the frank discussion we have pre-
sented of many police topics—
many of them previously regarded

ginning to appreciate the value of

Wanted: A $15,000 Man

‘The changing attitude of police-
men towards publicity is re-
flected in the action taken by the
PBA delegates last week, The
delegates, after a long discussion
and debate in which everyone ex-
cept the offiicers took part, voted
for the employment by the PBA
of a public relations man at a
salary not to excced $15,000, The
delegates apparently pictured a
combination of a politician, jour-
nalist, lobbyist, and trouble-shoot-
er as the man who would fit their
needs,

‘There is no doubt that the PBA
requires all of these. By voting for
this action the delegates expressed
their feelings that these qualities
are missing now. Whether the
action represents discontent with
present officers or a realization
that new advances made in these
various fields require specialized
training that a cop simply cannot
have, is a matter on which we're
not prepared to comment, What

You would expect to find such

counts for the inefficiency. We
can't imagine efficient supervis-

Sermon

Boys and girls, this is a sermon,

‘This column has been the most
praised and the most vilified in
the paper, That means we have
struck home often. You've sent
letters and come in personally to
tell us about good things, bad
things, and just plain events,
neither good or bad, So maybe
we've learned more about the
Veterans Administration than wa
haye about some other groups of
employees,

This sermon is really an inquiry,
It's a qustion to ask why the
members of the admninistration
and the employees don’t get along
better than they do, And, a cor-
rolary, wnat can be done to im-
prove the way they get along,

We've hit certain conclusions.

1, That some supervisors, suf-
fering perhaps from some psyehio
feeling of inferiority, are unable
to treat their employees as equals,

2. Certain supervisors haye in-
dvlged their petty whims, and in
one or two cases, have gone #0
far as to practice racial discrimi-
nation,

3. The promotion system
always fair,

4, More could be done, without
much trouble, to alleviate certain
petty discomforts.

Now, with the exception of the
serious charge of racial discrimi-
nation, it seems that there’s noth
ing here so tremendous that it
can’t be overcome by some plain,
simple human consideration,
‘There doesn't seem to be anything
9 colosally horrifying that it
can’t be overcome, Boss Reichert
is willing. ‘The employees are
willing, And we suspect lots of
the supervisors are willing.

All right. Let's do something
about it. *

We'd like some suggestions from
you pecople who work for the
Vets. What needs to be done?
How should it be done?

POSTAL NEWS

The Hand of Fate

This may be the crucial week
in Washington when the postal
boys’ pocketbooks either gets fat-
ter every pay day, or stay as
slim as they are. Both the House
and Senate Committee are due to
come out on tie floor with their
bills to add a tidy sum of $300
to the P. O. paycheck, and enough
“ayes” will mean that junior gets
a new pair of rationed shoes and
mom gets a chance to buy a new
dress before clothes are rationed.

Whether or not the boys get
their dough, the telegraph com-
panies are making profit on the
deal. This week the wires are
humming with telegrams to
Washington asking the Senators
and Representatives to be in
their seats when the postal bills

come up and to vote the right
way. Branch 36, and the Joint
conference have both been bom-
barding the Congressmen and the
Washington offices of the postal
organizations asking for quick
and hectic action,

been forgotten. According to Abe
Shapiro who like every other man
in the mail business has become

Wives and Daughters

‘The latest project of the Affill-
ated Postal Organizations 1s @
move to get preference for wives
and daughters of postal men in
service when it comes to women's
fobs in the Post Office. Seems
only fair that when Pop or hubby
are fighting for Uncle Sam that
he should give the female mem-
bers of the family a chance to
pick up an honest dollar... and
most Post Office wives already
seem to know as much about the
business as the member of the
family who gets the privilege of
signing the paycheck and turning
it over to the head of the family.

Look Who’s
Ja An Apron

Nope, he’s not doing domestic
K.P., but the other day he joined
up with the Masons, Was made
a member of Algonquin Lodge,
and if he's as active in the lodge
as he is in the P.O., he shoutd
be ‘a 32d degree brother in no
time at all, He was surprised too,
when a bunch of fellow postal of-
ficers gathered around him and
John A. Cardinali, of Station O,
a fellow lodge member, made the
presentation of a Masonic ring
and pin which the boys had got
for him.

How the Club
Works

Any person who has a son,
brother, father, husband, relative or
friend in the Armed Forces of the
country is eligible for membership.

The sole qualification is a sine
cere desire to help that man in the
Armed Forees get the

hting
equipment he needs by saving a
War Stamp every day in his honor.

There are no dues and no obli-
gation other than ape *s own
obligation lo himself to live up to

his pledge to save “A-stamp-a-day.”

Choose now. Hither we give our
boys the planes, tanks, guns, and
ships they've gol to have to win—or
we're Jetting them march to their
defeat and o lestruction. Planes

nks don't grow on

cost money

tre And the storks don't: bring

We've got to pay for them. “We”
means all of us—including you.

How? By buying War Bonds
And every time our
savings amount to $18.75 w

and

ta
in 10 years. That's
$t back for every $8 we put in
Isn't that the least we who stay at
home can do to help win the war?
Stop and think about it

The Federal Civil Service Com-

instances, persons receiving re-

hired for Government jobs.

It is illegal for any person to
receive a Government salary and

a Government pension at the
same time,
All departments have been

asked to check on new employees
to straighten out the situation.

In practice, any person receiy-
ing a salary and a pension from
the Government has the pension
suspended for the period of em-
ployment, after which it starts
off again.

MERLE OBERON,
one of the stars in RKO-Radio's
“Forever And A Day.” This
powerful drama, now at the
Rivoli Theatre, covers some
140 years of British history.
Beginning in 1804 with the
building of the London home
of Admiral Trimble, the subse-
quent panorama of the Ad-
miral’s descendants who lived
in this house is presented with
particular emphasis upon the
British struggle for the main-
tenance of freedom and liberty.
A compelling epic, the picture
combines the collective talents
of seventy-eight stars, includ-
ing such names as Ray Milland,
Charles Laughton, Brian Aherne,
Ida Lupino, Roland Young,
Herbert Marshall, Elsa Lan-
chester, Jessie Matthews; in
short, just about every citizen
of the British Empire currently
available in Hollywood, “For-
ever And A Day” is a fine
presentation and one of the
“prestige” pictures of the year.

‘Leader’ Calls for Probe
Of Civil Service Hellhole

By MAXWELL LEHMAN

Last week I told you a little about what I had seen in the
59th Street Powerhouse of the IRT—men working like animals in
a building whose atmosphere was charged with coal dust and gas;
men working long hours for little pay in conditions of filth beyond

adequate description.

I told you about the industrial and health

hazards about which the Board of Transportation shrugs its shoulders

and does nothing.

Now this newspaper is calling for a probe.

What I saw—I want responsible
State officials to see. I want
them to go in by the front door—
not, as I had to, via a trapdoor
leading underground, I want
them to smell the gas in the air,
Peer ahead of them into the dust-
laden corridors, get their clothes
besmirched with particles of
floating coal that men breathe all
day long. I want them to talk
to these workmen—good, simple
men who will tell them without
fanfare, just as they told me,
what's wrong. About their co-

workers who grow ill and die in
numbers that are appaling. About

the low standards of sanitation in
the building. About the low pay,
too,

Getting at the Facts

These officials should then talk
to the supervisors in this place,
and later the higher-ups—and de-
mand the reason why they permit
sich conditions to exist,

I'm asking, simply, that this
talk of low pay and bad morale
and incredible working conditions
be taken out of the realm of pure
debate alone—tet the probers talk
among the men—see, hear, feel
for themselves what goes on.
They'll get the facts that way.

This newspaper is calling for a
probe of the 59th Street Power-

The Civil Service LEADER
requests the State Department
of Labor to look into the situa-
tion—now! The Labor Depart-
ment has plenty of authority to
do this, I have looked up the
law, and this is what it says:

Here's the Law

Section 21, subsection 8 of the
State Labor Law says that the
industrial commissioner ‘may
make an investigation, col-
lect and complete statistics, and
report upon the conditions of
labor generally and upon all mat-
ters relating to the enforcement
and effect of the provisions of
this chapter and the rules there-
under ., .””

Section 200 says:

“All places to which this chap-
ter applies shall be:so construct-
ed, equipped, arranged, operated
and conducted as to provide rea-
sonable and adequate protection
to the lives, health, and safety
of all persons employed therein.
The Board shall make rules to
carry into effect the provisions
of this section.”

Do these sections give the Labor
Department sufficient authority
to go into the Board of Trans-
portation, just as they provide

Civil Employees in Uniform?

A bill up in the House of Representatives would provide that
civilian employees of the Navy Department would be placed in the
Naval or Marine Reserves, and perform the same duties as in their
civilian jobs. Pay would be determined by allowing credit for
time put in on the job as a civilian. The Navy has come out against
the measure, which it considers contrary to all prior laws and Naval
tradition. The Navy Department now has the authority to appoint
to the Naval Reserve any civilian employees and assign them to
their jobs, but does not feel inclined to do so.
