Looking Insid

By H. J. BERNARD

WHILE JOB SECURITY is one of the attractions of public
employment, that security is seriously undermined when there is
little or no protection against unjust removal,

Undoubtedly the greatest protection any employee in public or
private job can have is fair treatment by management, since safe-
guards are required only as a protection against unfair treatment,

Representative Paul Fino (R,, N.Y.), has introduced a bill in
Congress to entitle U.S. employees to a hearing before dismissal, and,

State and local jurisdictions, perhaps the provocation is greater,
Under the U.S, Civil Service Commission's regulations regarding
non-veterans the removal must be for such cause as will promote
the efficiency of the service, another way of saying no valid reason
need exist, because the department that decides against the employee
also decides whether its own action promotes the efficiency of the

thing to do with the merits. And even then, after hearing the appeal}
and after finding the employee has been aggrieved, what power has
the Commission? It has the power only to recommend corrective
action. Thus many words are used to disguise the fact there is no)
protection, though the merits of the employee's defense may have been
overwhelming,

Under the Veterans Preference Act, appeals are allowed without
that narrow restriction; the Commission's decision is not advisory
but mandatory, if only the department does not refuse to obey it,

The two bills are in the right direction; if somewhat sweeping,
can be amended,

PUBLIC EMPLOYEE GROUPS are so fully oceupied with their
own specialized problems that they seldom find time or opportunity
to support general projects in which they would benefit as members
of the body politic. Such general matters are often not even called
to their attention. More's the pity, When a proposal is before Con-
gress to increase U.S. income tax individual exemption from $600
to $800 for 1954 (tax payable in 1955), and to $1,000 the following
year, a public employee group that strives for a direct pay increase
might be anxious to help obtain an indirect one, through increase
of take-home pay. The minimum benefit, the first year, at present

rates, would be about $45, the following year $90, for a solitary exemp-
tion. Husband, wife and two children, constituting four exemptions,
would provide about $175 minimum benefit the first year, $350 the

plete unfamiliarity with most of the duti
jobs they surveyed. This is not an unusual criticism of “outside”
surveys. A certain air of unfamiliarity may be discoyered in most of
them, but there is a compensating advantage. Engineering firms
experienced in surveying jobs offer freshr that internal surveys
often lack, and even propose changes without regard to the difficulty
of attaining them, For instance, one such survey in NYC proposed
an amendment to the State Constitution, an undertaking from which
even the most persevering would recoil.

unavoidable in “outside” reports, one avoids the mistake of dismissing

always leave the recommendations to be effectuated by the inexpert!)

Overtime Pay
To Local Employees

U nder well established principles of home rule, cities,
counties, towns and other local units of government
in New York Statehave assumed that they have the inm-
herent right to pay overtime compensation to their em-
ployees. Many local units of government have found to
their surprise, however, that both the Comptroller of the
State of New York and the Attorney General have issued
rulings to the effect that local units of government are pro-
hibited from paying overtime compensation to various
groups of employees. Since an employee who works over-
time must, in fairness, be paid for his overtime work, the
local units of government have, in many cases, paid over-
time compensation by subterfuges of one kind or another.

The Comptroller and the Attorney General have is
sued opinions to the effect that overtime is prohibited by
adopting a strained construction of various laws, includ-
ing section 21, subdivision 5 of the City Home Rule Law,
section 205 of the County Law and sections 160 and 220
of the Labor Law, and some rather ancient court decisions,
Competent attorneys entertain a very serious doubt as to
whether the rulings of the Attorney General and the
Comptroller in this field would be upheld by the courts at
the present time. Nevertheless, these rulings are, as a
practical matter, binding on local governmental officers
who feel, in any event, an obligation to follow them.

A bill introduced by Senator Hatfield and Assembly-
man Wilcox would remove the confusion that now exists
by an express declaration of the Legislature that local
units of government have the power to pay overtime com-
pensation to their employees under such rules and regu-
lations as they may prescribe.

The bill is permissive, not mandatory. It restores to
local units of government the powers which they have
always assumed they have had and which they should
have in the interest of good government.

The bill is so obviously “right” that it should become
law.

How Will You Fare Under
New State Salary Plan?

How will you fare under the new salary plan?

While it is not yet possible to answer every specific question, here
is the situation as it looks for the large groups of employees:

EMPLOYEES NOW IN G GRADES — Get a freeze in; estab-
lishment of a new pay plan with fewer grades; correction of inequities
within the plan, providing upward reallocation for about half the
emplyees; an extra step in each salary grade for those who have
been at maximum for five years,

“OS” EMPLOYEES — This group includes Armory employees,
State troopers, Education Department aides on separate schedules,
and all others who have their own statutory pay schedules (except
employees of the Legislature and Judiciary), The existing emergency
bonus will be frozen effective April 1, by “language” in the law rather
than by line item. Authority will be given by the Legislature, and
money appropriated, to permit the Budget Director, with approval of
the Governor, to adjust alaries on October 1 retroactive to April 1.
Those with their own schedules will have them amended in 1955. It
is too big a job to do it now in time for legislative action, but the
employees will lose nothing as a result. As this issue of The LEADER

compensation of employees, It
provides some additional incen-

period after they have reached
their normal grade maximums,
Studies have shown that in many
occupational fields and in a large
number of the State's promotional

that many deserving employees
who attain standing on promotion

AAAAAAAAAAALAAAAAAAD
THE CLASSIFICATION BUREAU of the NYC Civil Service Com-
‘The start could not
be begun until Budget Director Abraham D, Beame and the Come
mission got together on a proposed overall plan. Meetings have .been
held and it ts expected a mutually acceptable scheme will be
announced soon,

The Commission had its own plan, Mr. Beame somewhat dif-
ferent ideas, and since both parties have equal responsibility, by
direction of the Mayor, agreement had to be reached.

“The plan will consist of a schedule setting up a definite number
of grades, with minimum and maximum salaries for each, and with
each title to be fitted into a grade, Since the problem is con-
sidered too vast to tackle at one time, and not enough money is in
sight to effectuate complete revision, the job will be done piecemeal,

First to be considered will probably be the Engineering and
Technical Service. Agreement with employees has practically been
reached, excepting for money. If the reclassification of that service
is voted as proposed, some plan to distribute the benefits over two

years, instead of granting them all in the first year, may be worked
out.

WITH A BILL before the Legislature to reorganize the NYC
Civil Service Commission, spirit is low among the Commission staff,
Public employees tend to take a sombre view of uncertainties, and
certainly Commissioners whose jobs may be at stake can not avoid
M8 besa so... . Much improvement in suggestion program, with more
extensive plans, broader aspects, and higher remuneration to winners,
may be expected this year, with the Federal government setting the
pace. The benefits to government are so large, compared to what the
winners receive, that the improvement is long overdue. Private indus-
try awards are better, but even they fall short. . . . Civil Service Com-
missions received more anonymous letters charging employees with
being suspected of Communism, before the loyalty and security laws
were enacted, than are received now . . . NYC has disqualified some
eligibles from appointment jobs in security agencies, but jobs in non-
security agencies are open te them, since the limited exclusion is te
extent to which the law allows the State or local Commission to act.
Federal law confers more powerful sanction.

WHILE NYC EMPLOYEES are deeply interested in the new
Labor Department in the government, and are watching the pro-
‘posed reorganization of the Municipal Civil Service Commission, make
no mistake about what interests them most. It is increased pay,
The Wagner administration is trying to find a way to grant an
increase that won't be piddling.

THE POSTAL UNIONS set the pace in Federal pay improve-
ments, The recent rally of the AFL postal unions in Washington was
stirring, Emotional and convincing factual appeals were combined.

Why the NYC Personnel
Bill Should Be Passed

he bill drafted to alter New York City’s civil service

structure has now undergone meticulous scrutiny and
modification. The changes came after the employee or-
ganizations and the civic groups had been given oppor-
tunity, both publicly and in private session, to state their
views and make their recommendations.

To the credit of the City Administrator's Office, let

Inc.

it be said that every effort was made to meet the valid)

proposals of the employee organizations without altering
the basic principles of the bill. Thus, the point made that
employees ought to have a chance to voice their views on
personnel matters has been written into the law. There is
being established a city personnel council, and on this the
employees will have representation. They want — and
the administration concurs — better labor relations. The
bill has been amended to take this into consideration; as
a matter of interest, the employees will now have, between
the Labor Department and the Civil Service Commission,
perhaps the most advanced organisms of labor relations
existing in any community of the nation. Another change
in the bill gives protection to present employees of the
Municipal Civil Service Commission, who will move into
the reorganized department without loss of any rights
they now hold.
Mayor Is The Responsible Boss

As for the personnel director himself, an amendment
to the measure places him more directly under the Mayor,
at whose pleasure he will serve. It had been pointed out
at the public hearings that the bill originally provided for
demotion of the personnel director; he would become a
commissioner if he was deemed to be unsatisfactory. But
since there are already two, additional commissioners, a.
technical problem would thus arise. This technicality has
been clarified. Actually, it is more than a technicality. For
the Mayor now. is given far more responsibility for the
conduct of personnel matters than ever before. It is a re-
sponsibility that cannot be readily shifted or sluffed off.

The bill was introduced Jate into the Legislature. It,
could be wished that it were drafted earlier, and more
time given for study. But the time was not available. The
new administration took office only January 1. No doubt
it would be easy to find other changes that should be
made. But the bill does the important thing — it offers a
means of overcoming — now — some of the terrible de-
fects in civil service that have been brought to light in
recent years. It offers an opportunity to start ‘from
scratch,” and on a basis that finds substantial agreement
among the many interested parties — even if that agree-
ment is not 100 percent. Much will be learned in the
course of actual operation; and where changes in the law
are indicated, it will always be possible to make them. At
least, we will have started on the correct course in New
York City.

The Legislature should of course pass the bill. It is
very much like the measure which the Legislature passed
last year for the purpose of reorganizing the State Civil
Service Commission, And, like the State measure, it repre-
sents a feasible compromise.

Councilman Sharkey's Point

Now to anothér point: Councilman Joseph Sharkey
made a valid observation at a public hearing on the meas-
ure; he pointed out that the funds a_civil service agency
has to work with are more important than its structure.
The Municipal Civil Service Commission has been starved.
With the new plan in effect, Mayor Wagner and his cabi+
net must realize that to obtain the best possible service
for the City, the Civil Service Commission can no longer
be considered a kind of municipal stepchild, It must have
the funds to do a major recruiting job; to prepare the
best exams; to provide the finest of personnel services,

NYC'S TYPE OF
FOUND SATISE,

Editor, The LEAD!

You published two artic
the recent N¥C pati jan exam.
In one, the author. jared to
be well satisfied with the test the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
ston gave. In the second one an-
other author said, in effect, half
the test was all right, but the
other half was not representative
of good recruitment technique be-
cause it dealt with items of in-
formation, The idea was the mere
possession of information is sec-
ondary, and not a sound basis
for selecting eligibles; mental
stature was supposed to be the
thing.

I am certain, as a patrolman,
that the test as given, including
the informational questions, was
excellent. There is no reason why
‘@ candidate for a police Job should
not be judged in part by how well
he is alive to what goes on around
him, or how willing he is to study,
What sort of a policeman would
he be if he did not know where
the United Nations Building is
located, which subway reached a
certain part of the city?

St Deserves Rewards,

TEST

les about,

To be sure, informational prep-
aration may be achieved by study,
but since when is it detrimental
to recruitment to reward study
efforts? Study is a form of close
application, and being a good po-
liceman requires close applica-
tion. A policeman has to do a lot
of uae to perform his job
well.

Not only do persons with con-
siderable general knowledge have
the most knowledge in particular
fields, as a rule, but also study of
itself tends to improve mentality.
Native ability is nothing required
of a candidate for the police force.
A person who passés a fair in-
telligence test can be taught to be
& good policeman, In fact, the eli-
ry do not prove they are any

ind of policemen at all, and
should not be required to prove
it; all one may ask of them is
| isd of ability to be trained to

come good policemen.

I think your author, H. J“Ber-
nard, who analyzed the patrolman
test and found it satisfactory, had

the right idea.

SALARY ISN'T
THE ONLY THING
Editor, The LEADER:

Salary increases alone will not
be enough to satisfy the State em-
ployee. There are many other im-
Portant issues to be straightened

‘| out. The prineiple of equal pay for

equal work, long established in
“private industry and givil service
generally, has always been denied
to the State employee, This in-
equality illogically sets the em-
Ployee apart as the forgotten man.
* Tt_is my recommendation that
Liye Bate employee should be com-
pensated on the basis of time-and-
one-half for additional time of
service in excess of 40 hour work
week, and we should be paid if our
normal working hours schedule is
lengthened by official order,
Acting out of title is another
problem, and the practice is con-
stantly reaching new and higher
Proportions. Hundréds are being
called upon to assume responsi-
bilities and duties with no addi-
tional compensation. This practice
would not be tolerated in private
industry and should not be ac-
cepted as a normal procedure by
the State employee. When the ad-
ministration designates an em-
ployee who meets the requirements
and whose confidence the adminis-
tration depends on to fill that par-
ticular position, and who can do
it efficiently, honestly and in a
manner fair to employee and em-
ployer, that employee should be
compensated, The excuse given for
the failure to give proper compen-
sation is that the job must be
filled by a person with special
training. Yet, in jobs which regi-
stered nurses should fill, such as
supervisors in the Department of
Mental Hygiene, many employees
are taken from the staff attendant

st furs, America — and in the
minds of the people FD is still
the greatest of them all." Carmine
DeGapio, Tammany leader, speak-
img on the “Tex and Jinx” radio
| program, put it in these words:
|"We don't hold brother Jimmy
against Franklin. His brother John
is a Republican. We never held
that against him, either.”

Franklin's Assets

Franklin has the name, he has
the charm, and he is the hardest
campaigner in Democratic ranks.
| He did more for Robert F. Wagner
\in the NYC primaries than almost
| anyone else, and more effectively.
| At the presidential convention in
| 1952, he worked harder than others
in the New York State delegation,
trying to get Averell Harriman
|nominated, He was the delega-
tion’s leading spokesman on the
convention floor. He was seen in
every pertinent conference and
meeting. Many nights he got only
two or three hours’ sleep, At one
point, he tooked Big Jim Farley
in the eye and said, “You haven't
been a Democrat for twelve years.”
| Anyone who knows Farley knows
that an act like this took political
courage. Young Franklin is cred-
ited with having plenty of “guts.”

He started his political career
opposing Tammany, so he can't be

a smart "kitchen cabinet" around
him, He is so cocksure he
could win that he gave up the
NYC Mayoralty, which he could
have had on a silver platter, to
wait for the gubernatorial sweep-
stakes,
The Other Democrats

And whom have the Democrats
got, other than FDR Jr.? There is
Harriman, Farley, Froessel. None
can match Franklin's vote-getting
ability. Harriman is conceded to
be a “nice” person, but not a vig-
orous campaigner, He hasn't got
| the rough and tumble knack to
| fight Dewey, and would be a push-
over for the Governor. In the
campaign circuit, a grueling one
| in this State, only FDR Jr. would
|e able to take on the kind of
vigorots campaign pushing that
Dewey would give. Farley, person-
| ally popular, could never get hold
| of the liberal wing of the Demo-
eratic Party. And Froessel is too
little known, even though he is
| an active Mason. There's a lot of
talk about Robert Wagner as a
possible gubernatorial candidate,
but he denies even the remote pos-
sibility of running. It would be
difficult after serving only one year
as Mayor of NYC, to go for the
higher office.

Nevertheless, Dewey's recupera-
tive power is the greatest in the
history of politics, as this column
has frequently pointed out,

mired, he always has emerged
stronger than before, To recall
| again some of the downs and ups:
The first Jimmy Hines case, which
he lost as New York's Special
Prosecutor, only to come back and
win the second, He lost the guber-
natorial election in 1938 to Her-
bert Lehman, but he won out in
1942, making huge inroads in
Democratic districts. He lost a
presidential nomination, but he
came back to win it four years
later, He was not afraid to take
on FDR; and after losing, he was

tion in which the odds were 30 to
1 in his favor, For a year, he made
jokes about himself at public
events, It was really a low time
for Dewey. Nevertheless, he came
back to win the Governorship
again, by the greatest majority
ever attained. His prestige con=
tinued to rise, and more than any
other man, he put over Eisenhower
as the Republican presidential
candidate in 1952. There was talk
then that Dewey would be the
best GOP presidential candidate
next time ‘round.

His GOP Enemies

Dewey's enemies including
some he has fought in the recently
exposed scandals — are saying:
We will take care of him come
convention or election day. If these
enemies can stop him from win-
ning the election, they will do it,

‘The Dewey men talk differently.
‘They argue, “Dewey went after
men who were involved in scan-
dals, They represent bad govern-
ment, not good government. There=
fore, they had to be thrown out.
Every time this happened, Dewey
emerged a bigger figure in the
eyes of the voters, because he dem-
onstrated not only his own devo-
tion to ethical principles in gov-
ernment, but a willingness to take
surgical action to cleanse his
party. His integrity is untar-
ish They point out, too, it
didn't hurt Gov, Herbert Lehman
when he named Dewey special
Prosecutor in NYC in 1935. When
Dewey indicted Hines, one of the
biggest Democrats, that didn’t hurt
Lehman, either, It didn't harm
PDR when he had the Hagues and
other big-city bosses dragging his
coat-tails, Dewey will rise above
the ‘scandals, his adherents say,
and be stronger than ever.

~ Power of Incumbent

Moreover, Dewey has the power
of an incumbent in office. He is
able to move vigorously on many

fronts. The Federal administration
is Republican, with US. at-
torneys, tax officials, ‘ial prow

bers, and other investigatory agen-
cies. And while the; Democratic
Prospects look good now, elections
are won not in March but in
November. As a sign of the speed
with which Dewey acts is his swift
response when State Democratic
Chairman Richard Balch accused
the Thruway Authority of being a
patronage  porkbarrel. Dewey
swiftly called in able Robert
Moses, who, while a Republican,
is a member of the NYC Demo-
cratic administration. Moses gave
his blessing to the Thruway situa~
tion. More recently, Dewey made
Moses head of the State Power
Authority, to get action on the
Niagara frontier, something which
many citizens upstate want. Dewey
hasi‘w‘sense of timing that is
nearly unexampled in the realm
of politics, The Democrats have
much to learn from him. It is

ure to place any bets

pr
| against Tom Dewey.

‘The coming election will not be
a battle between a live wite and
a deadhead, It well may go down
in the books as the most dramatic,
possibly the most savage, election
campaign in the State's History.

POSTMARK

saved a government
employee *3,250.59

This is the postmark on the envelope mailed to
Government Employees Insurance Company con-
taining the automobile insurance application of Mr.
H. B. Carter of Los Angeles, California,

Mr. Carter, a protection-conscious "government
employee, mailed the envelope on the morning of
June 12, 1953. At 2:30 p.m., while the application
was in transit to Washington, D. C., his 1953 Buick
sedan hit a chuckhole, slithered off a low embank-
ment into a stream and settled in six feet of water.

Fortunately, Mr. Carter was able to save his life
by crawling through an open window — and saved
his investment in the .1953_Buick by a postmark

which was his guarantee of insurance coverage since
10 a.m. that morning.

Mr. Carter received a check from Government
Employees Insurance Company in the amount of
$3250.59 in full settlement of his claim.

This is a true story — with the exception of the
insured’s name, these are the facts of a claim recorded

Discover the Secret of Low Cost Travel

Stop saying that travel is too expensive. Passen-
ger-carrying freighters are the secret of low cost
travel.

For no more than you'd spend at @ resort, you
can take a never-to-be-forgotten cruise to Rio and
Buenos Aires. Or through the Canal to either New
York or California. Or to the West Indies or along
the St. Lawrence River to French Canada. In fact,
trips to almost everywhere are within your means.

And what accommodations you get: large rooms
with beds (not bunks), probably a private bath, lots
of good food and plenty of relaxation as you spud
from port to port,

Depending upon how fast you want to go, a round
the world cruise can be yours for as little as $250-
$300 a month, And there are shorter trips. Fast,
uncrowded voyages to England, France, the Medi-
terranean; two or three week vacations up and
down the Pacific Coast or to New Orleans.

Name the port and the chances are you can find
it listed in “Travel Routes Around the World." This
is the book that names the lines, tells where they
go, how much they charge, briefly aescribes ac-
commodations. Hundreds of thousands of travelers
all over the world swear by it. Travel editors and
travel writers say “To learn how to travel for as
little as you'd spend at a resort get “Travel Routes
Around the World.’”

WHAT MISTAKES IN DRIVING
DO YOU MAKE?

Can you start a wet motor, take curves without
rubbing off miles of rubber, get juice from a bat-
tery that seems dead, put out a fire beneath the
hood, start on ice without spinning the wheeis, pull

roads, on icy hills? What do you do when a car
darts out at you from a side road? Do you know
how to stop a car FASTER when emergency de-
mands you stop on a dime? Do you know how to
avoid a sideswipe, pass a truck crawling up a hill,
even what to do in that split second you can act
when a head-on coilision seems inevitable? Do you
KNOW what to do or will you do the first thing
that comes to mind in that moment of panic?

Are you sure your wife knows what t do—

that she can handle the car in any emergency?

That your grown-up son or daughter can?

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

Cavanagh

Impresses
UFOA Group

The Uniformed Fire Officers
Association is much heartened by
the stand taken by NYC Pire
Commissioner Edward FP. Cav-
anagh Jr, against reduction in the
number of fire companies.

One of the problems inherited
by Commissioner Cavanagh, as
well as by his predecessors, is the
number of firemen and officers
working out of title. It is estimated
that each week a thousand fire-
men serve as acting lieutenants,
at fireman pay. Officers also fill
higher “acting” titles.

The UFOA has been stressing
the need for increasing the num-
ber personnel of the uniformed
force to eliminate out-of-title
work. One of the major complaints
of UFOA over a long period has
been the number of captains who
@re acting as chiefs, and thus
Saddied with the dual responsi-
bilities of company officer and
chief officer, This is doubly objec-
tionable to the captains on pro-
Motion lists. Commissioner Cav-
fanagh is now studying the
possibility of making more pro-
motion:

A UFOA delegation met Com-

missioner Cavanagh, was K

nel to be a

Cay: ems
Th ap

poin a
Comini nd
Aviation, is studying out-of-title
work, possible promotions, pay
and Other departmental problems,

One of the arguments support-
ing the Commissioner's stand
against. reduction in’ the number
of fire houses is the growth of
population in the. suburbs, with

tens of thouands of frame houses
having gone up while the number
of fire companies has not been
increased. Also, fire insurance
e been rising, and these
ted in part to the degree
rotection.

UFOA held a membership
meeting recently. The principal
topic discussed was a bill to in-
crease the widow's benefit from
present $11 a week. An effort
was made to obtain a certificate
of necessity from the Mayor or
the Council but not assurances
were reported from either that it
would be granted. One would be
necessary before the Legislatu
could act on the bill,

The Joint Committee of Teach-

ganization which combines the
efforts of various teachers groups,
has studied the matter of auto-
mobile insurance. Its report reads
in part:

“After thoroughly investigating
the field, including several insur-
ance companies that offer percent
age reductions, we are unquali-
fiedly recommending the Govern
ment Employees Insurance Com-

pany.”

‘The New Jersey Education Asso-
ciation has also endorsed this
company, saying:

“Your insurance committee bas
completed its investigation of
automobile inurance companies,
‘This survey was made for the pur-
pose of determining the insurance
company which would offer the
members of our association the
best automobile insurance at the
lowest possible cost... The New

dorsing the Government Ema
ployees Insurance Company.”
