ROME, Oct. 3— The Central
Conference of the Civil Service
Employees Association met at The
Beeches here in two sessions—
one for chapter presidents and #
later one for Conference delegates,

Raymond G, Castle, Conference
Ast vice president, reported on
three conclusions reached at the
morning meeting of chapter preal-
dents, They are:

1, The Conference should re-
| acquaint the officers of the chap-
ters with the purpose of the
Conference,

2. The Conference should keep
all non-conference chapters ad-
vised of all its activities.

3. The Conference should as-
sume the responsibility of training

the past months the unions in many industries have renegotiated |C!Vil Service Assembly; the Albany | persons for the offices of prest-

contracts for higher wages,

All of this may not be important and may only be seasonal. The
price rises may only be in preparation for the Christmas trade, They
may only be a slight fluctuation in the movement of our economic
system, Whatever they are, they are not good omens for the public
employee.

The civil servant is not and never has been in a favorable posi-
ton to adjust to the swings in our economic system. It is true that
other groups of employees are likewise caught in the snares of an in-
flationary net, However, these latter groups, because of the lack of
Jegal rigidity controling thelr salaries, are able to free themselves much
earlier. Their incomes can be more readily adjusted to the new price
levels. This is true even for most of the unions who negotiate long-
term contracts with their employers. These contracts
safety factors, such as escalator clauses, agninst

always include
inflationary rises,

‘Frozen’ Public Salaries

For almost all of the civil servants in this State, salaries are
generally, for all practical purposes, fixed as much as six months be-
fore their effective dates Budgets are made up well in advance of the
start of the fiscal year, and, when adooted, are legally frozen for a
12-month period. In the State service, hearings for the April, 1956-
March, 1957 budget are now getting under way. On the local level,
many hearings have already been held and, in some places, the local
legislative bodies have already fixed next year’s salaries

Thus, if these inflationary clouds grow larger and become more
ominous, the public servant will again be victimized, He will again be
fn a period of frozen salaries during a time of climbing prices. During
the past decade, this has happened to him many times—and some-
times to his great personal distress,

Governmental employees in this country have never been over~
paid, nor have they ever enjoyed, except in rare instances, an eco-
nomic status equal to the Industrial worker. One economist in a book

recently published, describes them as people “who serve faithfully and
well for modest salaries.”

Govt. Stability Rests on Employee Morale

Government employees, by their numbers, comprise a large seg-
ment of America’s buying power, It is important, therefore, for the
eontinued success of our way of life, that the potentiality of the civil
servant be protected. Like his neighbor, he necds and buys automo~
biles, refrigerators, television sets, clothing and food If his buying
power is diminished, it can not but have an ill effect upon our*nation’s
Well being, You can not today price one group of people out of the
market without having some effect upon the whole,

The time has long since come for a realistic approach to the
Problem of salaries of the public employee. His salary plans on ‘all

Jevels of government should favorably reflect the standards of the |

community in which he lives, He should be protected, like other

workers, against the ravages of inflationary spirals, He should not be
made to suffer economically during these periods, and always forced
to lag behind the van of increasing prices,

Government in our world today needs stability, and stability ts
dependent upon good public employee morale. A government worker
who has constantly to worry about his bills, the education of his
ehildren, and the security of his home, cannot daily face his impor-
fant job with a mind free from any other care but the one on his
desk.

Special Notice to CSEA

tive November 1, 1955 based on your gross salary as of that date,

Special Officer
Title Asked for
NYC Watchmen

The Teamsters Union, Local 237
has requested the NYC Depurt-
| Ment of Howpituls to approve the
reclassification of watchmen to
| special officer,
| “An analysis of the duties of
both titles indicates that the men
in Hospitals should properly be
called special officers,” said Henry
Feinstein, president of the local.

“The fundamental difference be-
tween a watchman and a special
officer is the fact that a special
officer is sworn In, deputized, and
given the power to make arrests.
‘This responsibility {s not given to
any watchman in the City. How-
ever, many of the men in Hospi-
tals, though they are called watch-
men, have been sworn in, repu-
tized, and given the power to make
| arrests. In the Medical Center
98 per cent of all police work is
performed by the men called
watchmen.”

BY JACK SOLOD

Institutional Aides Want 40-Hour Week

RESOLVED: That the institutional employees now working 48
hours a week do not want a raise, but want the 40-hour week with
present take-home pay.

This resolution was defeated at the meeting of the Southern
Conference, Civil Service Employees Association, held at Letchworth
Village on September 22. Voting against the motion were delegates
who bolleved it possible to get 48 hours pay for 40 hours work plus

a 10 per cent raise! Also the group which insists upon a tie-in, "You
get eight hours, we want a 20 per cent raise.”
My glasses are made by ‘a Jeading New York optician. I wonder

who makes those rose-colored glasses for the group of employees
looking for 48 for 40 plus a 10 per cent raise.

The institutional delegates, who are meeting in Albany on Oct,
9, 10 and 11, must be prepared to make vital decisions regarding the
40-hour week, Correction and Mental Hygiene should have a joint
meeting with the CSEA officers and demand that the 40-hour week,
at the same pay, be included In CSEA resolution Number One,

One Man’s Solution

Leading the program for State employees a 10 per cent gen-
eral raise. When the conferences between the CSEA salary committee
and the administration gets under way, this raise is almost sure to
be foremost on the agenda. When some agreement is reached on this
raise which will be acceptable to the CSEA, it will almost certainly
be the end of the 40-hour-week chances for this year, No administra-
tion, not even this one, which is very pro-Inbor, will give both a»
raise, and 48 for 40 to institutional employees.

‘The solution lies in the above resolution. Our salary committee
must negotiate on the basis of a 10 per cent raise for all except 48-
hour institutional employees. Por this group, a 40-hour week with
present take-home pay and no general raise.

Gripes about attendance rules, religious time off, changes of ttle,
etc, getting a thorough going-over by the Civil Service Commission,
Investigators are out in the field talking to State employees and get-
ting their views. It ls believed that most inequities will be settled this
coming year, Hats off to Commissioner Palk, who is doing a terrific
Job.

State and NYC Join Hands
To Spot Violators of Vehicle Laws

POLICE and agents of the State Tax Commission set up a series

of surprise road blocks in NYC. The State is checking on violations of
the State mileage tax on large trucks, and the City police test giant
Vehicles for violations of City ordinances.

‘Truck checks in cities are part of @ statewide campaign of the
Btate Tax Commission In cooperation with local and State police, The
drive was launched in August In Nasaaa County and has been ex~
tended into eight upstate counties,

Equipment Checked

Members of a local police department check all vehicle equip-
ment, including headlights, mirrors and license piates, Hand brakes
are tested manually and foot brakes by a meter. A police officer rides
im the truck with the driver and directs him to go up to 20 miles an
hour and then apply his brakes. The meter records the actual braking
time. Each vehicle will be tested twloe.

State employees will check for overloading, operation in excess
ef gross weight specified on highway use permits, and absence of
permits and plates. The State truck tax ts imposed on vehicles with
gross weight over 18,000 pounds.

‘Truckers were warned of the roadblocks a week in advance.

Police Commissioner Stephen P, Kennedy and George M. Braga-
Bnt, President of the State Tax Commission, are cooperating in en-
forcement in NYC.

The drive is aimed specifically against the so-called “gypsy”
truckers that operate iNegally..

Army Does Itself Proud
In Finding Jobs for 'Riffed'

F cause of reduced budget and operations, the New
York Port of Embarkation bestirred itself to relocate em-
ployees in other Federal jobs or in private industry. So
Yntensive was the effort that in the reshuffling of hun-
dreds of jobs, only a few employees were left unplaced.

The New York State Employment Service, in response
to a call for aid, sent representatives to the base, to inter-
view employees. In this way many got jobs quickly,

The high brass bestirred itself as actively as did any
of the others. Brigadier General James Glore, commander
of the Port of Embarkation, himself directed the aid op-
erations. He devised a public relations program, and put
it into effect. He himself kept the employees apprised of
every move, addressing them, and had letters sent to cor-
porations, stating the qualifications of the employees who
were losing out through no fault of their own,

The good deeds did not pass unnoticed. U. 8. Civil
Service Commissioner George W. Moore wrote to the
Conmission’s regional director, James P. Googe, ¢om-
mending the General for “having done an outstanding
job" in providing employment opportunities. General
Glore sent copies to Frank Wachs, chief of civilian per-
sonnel at the base, and Lieutenant Colonel J. R. Williams,
then director of administration, in appreciation of the
Jarge part they played in the accomplishment:

It was a heartening demonstration of good-will and
good heart, and sets a splendid example.

State Still Losing Nurses
Because Pay Is Too Low

few weeks ago, Brooklyn State Hospital graduated 20

student nurses, Only six of the 20 remained at
Brooklyn State—12 went across the street to NYC’s Kings
County Hospital. The two others went into private service.

Brooklyn State Hospital could have used the services
of every one of these graduates. Why could it keep only
six?

In Kings County Hospital, the 12 nurses could earn
more money for a five-day week than the six who stayed
at Brooklyn State get for six days’ work.

When up to full pay scale, the Kings County nurses
receive $4,820 annually for their five-day week — the
Brooklyn State nurses get $4,656 for a six-day week.

How can the State expect to solve its critical nurse
shortage when pay is subnormal? Unless the pay and
work week are brought up to par, the State’s difficulty in
recruiting nurses may be expected to increase,

Loyalty-SecurityPrograms
Must Be Truly American

he energetic efforts by public employee organizations

to stimulate Congress and the White House to elimi-
nate unfairness from the administration of loyalty and
security programs shows how deeply these groups are
moved by the threat to the democratic way of life, In the
past, the administration of the programs, if not the terms
of programs themselves, in numerous instances, have been
worse than a threat. Even if only method of administra-
tion is at fault, the correction lies through enactment of
# law or issuance of an executive order. The policy of ad-
ministration must be defined in terms that befit applica-
tion to American citizens.

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR

WANTS EMPLOYEES POLLED
ON SOCIAL SECURITY PLAN

Editor, The LEADER:

Regarding the proposed inte-
gration of Social Security with
public employee retirement sys-
tems, one writer In the September
27 issue of The LEADER states:
“The effect upon the accrued
rights and equities which many
employees have built up in their
own retirement systems should be
thoroughly considered before any
decisions are made,”

‘The State Legisiature appointed
a committee to determine whether
or not the majority of State em-
ployees should have the additional
benefits of Sogial Security.

The employees would pay Into
the Social Security fund in “ad-
dition to their State Retirement
System deductions,” not in Hew
thereof.

Tt is my interpretation of the
Federal law that we should re-
celve Social Security benefits in
addition to those of the State Re-
tirement System.

All employees should be polled
promptly on the proposed integra-
tion. The committee is to report
by January, 1956.

WILLIAM J. HANRETTA
Albany, N. ¥.

(Since Integration ts now being
studied, no particular intention
can be declared to exist on how it
is to be worked out, Social Secur-
ity insurance and survivor bene-
fits are attractive to some em-
ployees, not desired by others. In-
tegration plans in other jurisdic-
tions combine the benefits, and
Proportion the rates, True, Social
Security contributions are addi-
tonal, but the adjustment in the
elvil service retirement contribu-
tions nbout cancels out that addi-
tion. Leaders in the movement for
integration are discussing a plan
whereby the combined rate would
not exceed the present rate, ex-
cept for a minor percentage of
employees, and even as to them,
only by a small amount, with in-
creased benefits, Editor.)

CALLS EDITORIAL ON
HEART BILL ‘HUMAN’
Editor, The LEADER:
I was delighted to read The
LEADER's editorial, calling for the
enactment early next year of a
bill making # fireman's heart con-
dition a rebuttable presumption
that the ailment ts the result of the
arduous and punishing duties a
fireman performs, Your humane
stand is appreciated by all fire-
men, and I'm sure the public js on

ASKS MORE JOBS
FOR ELIGIBLES
Editor, The LEADER:
Department heads should have

THE $64,000 QUESTION has:
finally been answered and we feel
quite relieved.

After all, if a Marine captain
can solve a food problem on the
$64,000 level, the Governor of the

to answer the $30,000,000 question
‘on salaries and fringe benefits for

Senate Starts
Investigating
Civil Service

WASHINGTON, Oct, 3—An in-
Vesetigation of the Federal civil
service merit system was launched
by the Senate Post Office and Civil
Bervice Committee.

James R. Watson, executive di-
fector of the National Civil Serv-
fee League was appointed consult-
Qnt to direct the survey, Senator
Olin D. Jobnston (D-5.C. bs
ehairman of the committee,

‘The group will study positions
filled by the White House and the
Civil Service Commission, also
Personnel management, and how
existing relationships affect the
merit system.

The investigation will include
the “Willis Order,” which ema-
Rated from the White House last
year, establishing a procedure for
selecting Republicans to fill gov-
ernment jobs. The committee
wants to know what impact the
erder had on career civil servants
and the merit system.

‘The group will also examine the
dual role of Philip Young as
Chairman of the Civil Service
Commission and as personnel ad-
Wiser to the President, to see if
changes in this relationship are
advisable. It will also determine if
ehanges are necessary in the top
structure of the Commission to in-
gure compliance with the objec-
tives of the merit system as es-
tablished by Congress through
past years

Mr. Johnston will ask for an in-
vestigation of the Commission's
Board of Appeals and Review, and
of possible outside influence on its
Gocisions

Seek Ideas on Appeals

He hoped for recommendations
on an appeals system for all Fed-
eral employees which would best
gerve the needs of the merit sys-
tem, the reputation of the Goy-
ernment as an employer, and the
efficiency of the public service.

There will also be an inquiry

firnto the policies of the various
Pedera! departments and agencies
fin administering civil service laws
and rules

"This Intensive probe will cover
the entire civil service system and
its administration,
aton sald. “It ts objective and ia
Rot intended to smear or white-
wash anyone, Tam sure Mr, Wat-
f#on will deliver to the committee
an expert and thorough set of
findings and impartial recom-
mendations to be used in the best
dnteresis of the merit system, and
for the inspiration and security of
the carcer employees.”

Smeared on

WASHINGTON, Oct.
startling defect in the operation of
the security program is being
corroborated. Employees have
been fired on the grounds that
they are security risks, or are pos-
sibly such risks, while the real
reason is something quite differ-
ent.

The Senate sub-committee of
the Post Office and Civil Service
Committee, is investigating the
security program, It heard H. V,
Higicy. administrator of the Vet-
erans Administration.

“A great majority of the 499
employees discharged by the Vet-
erans Administration, as security
risks, betweon May, 1953, and
June. 1955, were actually dismissed
for other reasons,” he testified.

Taint of Security Risk

Fired for Other Reasons

3— Al

Employees

Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
Taft Benson testified that Wolf
Ladejinsky, land reform expert,
was dismissed because he was not
considered stiltable bo represent
the American viewpoint on agri-
culture in foreign countries. The
departmental press release, issued
when he was dropped, said he was
suspended as a security risk be-
cause of past membership in two
subversive organizations. Mr,
Benson wrote Dr. Ladejinsky, re-
gretting the taint, informing him
that mention of security risk has
been expunged from the depart-
mental records, The Secretary has
received what he calls “a friendly
reply.” Mr. Ladejinsky ts now in
Asia, working for the Forelan Op-
erations Administration.

T stated my position on that ques-
tion long ngo, and we have been
proceeding as rapidly as we can
to find suitable ways to move
Away from these long work week
arrangements. There are many
prolems to be resolved, howeve
and it seems likely that a full solu~
tion will require a good denl of
time and various methods,

“You ask for a cost figure in-
volved in the request that the
more than 30,000 employees of
the State who now work 48 and
44 hours be shifted to a week of

n|

40 hours and get the sitme pay|

they get now, This, you will recall,
was done in 1947. The employees
in question now are paid at over-
time rates for excess hours, To
repeat the 1947 action, therefore,
surely would lead to a general de-
mand to Increase rates of pay for
all other employees In the same
proportion. It has been estimated
—and this In the figure you ask
for—that the total cost to the
government that would eventuate
from this would be more than
$60 million a year.

“Tam hopeful that we can make
rather rapid propress in the aban-
donment of the situation in which
we have, using your phrase, . . .
& ‘compulsory 48-hour week.’ We
want to make arrangements 50
that no employee will be required
to work more than 40 hours, This
is policy. The mechanics are not
80 easy. Each of many different
kinds of situations is being care-
fully explored.”

Kassell, Mr. Kassel), a Deputy Tax
Commissioner, was retained by the
Association as special counsel.

What Lawyers Contended

The refunds are made possible
because the Association success-
fuly contended that employees re-
quired to live on the employer's
premises, usually — inetitution
grounds, do not have to pay a tax
ea such maintenance, Formerly
they were not required to pay
auch a tax. A last-minute ruling
by the Bureau of Internal Rev~
enue attempted to stop that ex-
emption. The attorney argued that
the law provided for such exemp-
ton and that the Treasury De-
partment, or its bureau, could not
take that exemption away from
the employees.

Employees therefore should wait

Governor Harriman said that,

as he looked to
he would appreciate it if the
Assoviation would begin discus-
sions on the problem with Mr,
Fatk

‘The Chief Executive has asked
for a complete report on the dis-
cussions between Commissioner
Palk and the Association in order
to plan a future course on the Job

‘The full text of the Governor's
letter is as follows:

been discussed with President Falk
of the State Civil Service Commis-
sion. I have sought his advice be-
cause the questions raised in your
letter obviously have an impertant
bearing on the maintenance of
sound merit system principles in
the State government, The ovtab-
lishment and continuance of an
effective career system for State
employees is one of the corner-
stones on which good government
is based.

“Several of the questions which
your letter proposes have implica-
tlons which TI believe require
further discussion and considera~
tion. I would appreciate it, there-
fore, if you would communicate
with President Palk and present
youd views to him. I look to him
for advice as to the course which
this administration should follow
in matters pertaining to person-
nel administration,

“Tam sure that Commissioner
Falk will be happy to confer with
you and T am asking him to report
to me the outcome of your dis-
ussions. Thereafter decision will
be made as to the future course
to be followed.

“T appreciate your calling this
matter to my attention, Tt is recog-
nized that your organization rep-
resents a large group of State em~-
ployees and T am also happy to
have you call to my attention mat-
ters which affect the welfare of
your members,”

news about the date when dis-
tribution begins.

Grew from Modest Start

‘This year, the Mental Hygiene
Employees Association celebrates
the 59th anniversary of its form-
ing. From a sized group
of employees, MHEA has grown
te an organization of many thou-
sands of members

Beginning in this issue of ‘The

of the early years of the organiza-|

tion te the entry of the United

the Department of Mental Hygiene | Newark State School and David
began to hold meetings for the | Currier, Utica State Hospital,

purpose of improving the work-
ing conditions in the institutions.
Pew hospitals were represented in
the beginning, but each year addl-
tonal representatives gathered,
and in 1909 it was decided that the
group be known as the New York
State Hospital Association. Fred
O. Pieids was elected president and
T. Henry Quinn treasurer, Mom-
bership was on a per capita basis.

The records of the meetings
and the accomplishments of the
group up to 1932 were lost; there-
fore, no accurate details can be
given for this period, The work
day was 12 hours long at a salary
of $40 or less a month, Seventy-
five days a year was the maximum
time allowed employees to be ab-
sent from duty, without loss of
pay.

Drive for Better Sick Leave

During 1933, the asvociation be-
gan a drive to attain
leave privileges, and down through
the years continued to press their
efforts, Today Mental Hygiene em-
ployees enjoy sick leave benefits
comparable to most private Indus-
try and hospitalization plans. It

‘The 12-hour day continued to|
be a major problem, along with |
the lack of commutation for em-
ployees not living in the Institu-
tion; the transfer of funds from
the State Hospital Retirement
Pund to the New York State Re-
Jrement System; additional pay |
|for the assistant or second charge |
attendant; the placing of all
Mental Hygiene employees under
lithe competitive Civil Service
Laws, Rules, and Regulations.
End of the 12-Hour Day

‘The year 1936 was # most grati- |
fying one since the 12-hour day
was abplished and the eight-hour)
day goal was realized after many
years of untiring efforts by the|
officers and delegates of the Asso-
ciation of Mental Hygiene Em-
ployees. At first it did not affect
all the employees of the depart-
ment, but it definitely was a tre-
mendoua step forward. The asso-
|clation did not rest its case there
but continued to work for the

because of the added expense to

began immediately to formulate
plans to eventually bring the ben~-

This Association continued to
work and negotiate in behalf of
the Feld-Hamilton bill, and in
the year 1938 several meetings
were held for the purpose of
seeking coverage of the Mental
Hygiene employee. Dr. Tiffany,
