8,000 Unavailable

Commissioner Walsh estimates
that some 8,000 male city workers
will be unavailable for the jon,
because of physical or other rea-
sons; 34,000 is exclusive of those
unavailable.

These workers, he points out,
come from city departments not
already engaged in other aspects
of civilian protection, All will be
within the age limits of 18 to 55.

‘What will you do if a man says
he refuses to do yoluntary work?”
the Commissioner was asked,

“Tf anyone doesn't want to come
in it, let him stay out," Commis-
sionr Walsh said, ‘He'll be no
good to us anyway.”

May Be Volunteers
Commissioner Walsh said that
the city workers would he or-
ganized first, Later, if needed,
he said, others might be asked to
volunteer, However, if anyone
wants to indicate his willingness
to cooperate now, the department

Allthe Facts forFireman Candidates

How Many Filed; Where the Exam Will Be Held; What Your Chances Are of Making the List

Well, fellows, here’s the dope
, want to keep you posted on
vess of the fireman exam
for which you filed,
yirst—everybody, and most of
aij the Civil Service Commis-
*onors, 18 flabbergasted by the
junber of men who want to be
iremen.

(hat number is 26,858,

And it is almost certain the
final figure will be above 27,000
when all the applications from

you

ililary amps are completely
tabulated.
‘allowing for applicants who

won't show up for the written
est, it is estimated that those re-
maining in the field will have
about one chance in ten of mak-

ing the list—but this isn't as bad
as it might sound at first. Here's
why

You see, the requirements call
for the 5,000th man’s score on the
written to be the passing grade

——

in that part of the test, The
grade of the 2,500th man in the
entire examination will determine
how many eventually make the
list, Ties, of course, might
lengthen the list a bit, but that’s
all.

First, applicants were told that
they need not be over 21 years of
age until the date of appoint-
ment,

This brought a flood of applica-
tions by boys even 16 or there-
abouts, as the list will probably
not be even ready until some time
early next year.

One odd thing about the fire-
men applications is that the last
minute number of applications
were so high. Ordinarily it is ex-
pected that last minute filings run
above earlier registrations but in
this case, from the first to the
last day a total of 17,861 filed, in-
cluding 3,580 on May 26, and since
the deadline, some additional 9,000
have been received by mail or
from military camps.

A schedule of filings also show
that applicants became increas-

What’s Your Competition?
May Was Big Civil Service Month

May looks like the banner

month of the year for the filing
of applications with the Munici-
pal Civil Service Commission, ac-
g to a survey made by The
/ADER.
Estimates of the number of ap-
plications appeared elsewhere,
but they are erroneous. The
LEADER'S figures are obtained
from official sources.

During January, according to
Commission records, only seventy
applications, exelusive of License
, were filed, February saw
10,015 filings; March, 12,533, and
April, 3,423.

May shows a total, exclusive of
the License examinations, of more
than 28,000.

The filings for May have been

as follows:

tes

Promotion to housekeeper

‘The May total, including an esti-
mated 27,000 for the fireman test,
therefore shows filings in excess
of more than 28,000 or about be-
tween 500 and 600 more than re-
ported elsewhere, Obviously the
fireman and interpreter tests were
highly popular, with the office
appliance operator, Gr. 2 (I.B.M.

runnihg third,

The above tabulation will show
the boys and girls filing for the
various tests just about how much
competition they can look forward
to in their respective fields.

If this is true, then the list is,
according to law, available for
four years, In other words, if a
youngster 16 or 17 now makes a
place on the list, let’s say even
the 2,500th place, he might still
be eligible in 1946.

Yeah, its streamlined, new,
cultured or whatever you want to
call it.

But what you want to know Is
the facts, Here they are.

The written test is scheduled
for Saturday, June 28.

Where Test Will Be Held

The LEADER can tell you to-
day the tentative setup of schools
expected to be used in the written
test.

They are, including the number
of people who can comfortably.
take a test there:

Manhattan:
George Washington .
Seward Park

Wadleigh .
Stuyvesant

The Bronx
De Witt Clinton .

James Madison
Samuel J. Tilde

Grover Cle
John Adams

The test will probably be the

record breaker of the year.
Exam Lasts 3% Hours

‘The written examination is ex-
pected to begin at 1 p. m. and
last about 3% hours,

It might be, according to pres-
ent plans, that applicants on mil
itary duty will be given a chance
to take the written test later—
even after they take the physical.

No special plans have been
made to accommodate military
men in the physical, as it is ex-

pected they will have some leave
while the tests are being held
which is expected to be during
July, August or September, or
even later.

Montana Was First
Gap Montana, 24, of 19 Robin

Road, Staten Island, was first to
file, He and John Burns, 20, of
434 East 157th Street, the Brenx,
second, believe that

instead of college
should count. The Com-
mission has announced that col-
lege training will win an award
of a maximum of 4 percent addi-
tional credit after establishment
of the list,

‘The fact is that almost all those
making the list will get a city job
of some kind—as the Commission

propriate for other positions in
addition to those for Firemen.

that the written test will be de-
signed to reveal the aptitude, in-

telligence, initiative, reasoning
ability, common sense and judg-
ment of candidates,

Physical Fireman tests are d
vised to test agility, strength, en-
durance and coordination.

However, while it's a stiff test
The LEADER wishes all partici-
pants good luck and may the best
men make the list.

Police telephone operators at work: Last week Supreme Court
Justice Rosenman reserved decision on a motion to punish Police
Commissioner Valentine for contempt of court. The action was
instituted for the male telephone operator eligibles, because the
Commissioner insisted on using patrolmen as telephone oper-

ators.

Decision will be handed down in a week or ten days.

They

Should Be Polite

And Even Smile During Orals

For the first time in the history
of Civil Service a thorough Man-
ual of Examination Procedure will
be issued by the Municipal Civil
Service Commission,

‘The first section of the Manual,
now in the making, deals with
oral tests,

‘The entire set-up, now in prep-
aration, will eventually deal with
all phases of Civil Service testing
methods.

‘The purpose of the oral exam-
ination is to measure, as objec-
tively as possible, the personal
fitness of the candidate for the
job for which he is being tested,
the Manual will state.

Examiners are cautioned to be
polite.

“When the candidate enters the
examining room,” examiners are
told, ‘he should be greeted by the
Chairman who should then ask
the applicant to be seated.”

Then there is still more polite-
ness, according to the schedule

It goes like this:

When Candidate Comes In

“It is desirable that the mem-
bers of the panel rise when the
candidate enters, Where this is
inappropriate, the Chairman alone
may rise, All might say, ‘How do

you do?’

‘May I have your rating sheets
Then indicating a chair, he says:

“Won't you sit down? Make
yourself comfortable. Smoke if
you like. There's an ashtray just
before you.

“This is an oral test that you
are about to take. We shall try
to make this as interesting an
experience as we can for you.
This is not intended even re
motely to resemble an ordeal,

“In order to protect the ano-
nymity of candidates as far as

ACMPP: Its Work Will Affect Every Civil Mervin;

It’s a Conference of Officials to Study Every Touchy Subject in Civil Service

In line with its policy of dig-
ging up little-known, unusual,
and important stories, The
LEADER presents, in the fol-
lowing exclusive article, the first
survey of a committee that has
been working sub rosa, but
whose work may be of supreme
importance to all who hold jobs
for New York City.

How much vacation?

How much sick-leave?

For whom?

It's been a hodge-podge up to
stow, without uniformity, with-
out rhyme or reason or justice
to a great many city employees.

Comes now the ACMPP to
straighten it out and fix it up.
The initials mean: Administra-
tive Conference of Municipal
Personnel Problems,

And this is the first story
about its work—and a story of
supreme importance to every
Civil Service employee—if the
ACMPP shows that it can do
things, and not merely talk, It’s
a big, unwieldy body right now.

If you asked some of the lead-
ers of the Conference what its
work consists of, you might get
th

Started some three months ago
for the purpose of discussing de-
velopments and standards in tl
administration of personnel mat-
ters, the Conference hoped that
the multifarious practices and
techniques of dealing with per-
sonnel would be examined in suf-
ficient detail to yield a practic-
able synthesis of management
methods,’*

That all might sound like an
executive saying no to a chap
looking for a salary boost.

But actually, that's what the
Conference started out to do!

What It Wants to Know

First, one of the main ob-
jective of the Conference was to
look into certain “selected items"?
of personnel administration,
Among the items listed for at-
tention wer
1—Attenda
sick leave,
2—Discipline and dismissal,
3—Employee Relations.
4—Intradepartmental Personnel
Relations,
5—Personal Service Budgets.

ice, vacation, and

6—Personnel and Procedure
Manuals,
7-Service Rating.

8-Supervision and Training,
9—Welfare and Safety,
10—Morale,

That was the program, and be-

cause those entrusted with the
success of the schedule, undoubt-
edly are serious-minded about the
whole thing, it might easily be
conceivable that the thing might
eventually work out all right--
here's hoping it does,

But that first item of attend-
ance, vacation and sick leave was
immediately visited by, shall we
say, sore spots?

For instance:

At the first meeting, Chairman
E. Michael White, Secretary of
the Department of Hospitals, re-
membered that in 1935 a confer-
ence of deputy commissioners re-
commended a set of rules for the
guidance of city departments, but
apparently nobody paid ‘very
much attention. The Department
of Hospitals, he said, tried them
out, but, finding them inadequate,
had to devise a departmental set
of rules,

No two city departments today
use identical rules,

“In the federal government,”
White continued, “sick leave and
vacation provisions are estab-
lished by statute and administra-
tive order of the President.””

Harry R, Langdon, Chief of the
Divisoin of Finance and Supply in
the Sanitation Department, held
that provisions for the 24hour-
day job should be different from
the ordinary job of the main of-
tice.

You Can Have Uniformity
Gilbert E. Goodkind, Assistant
to Borough President Stanley

Isaacs, averred that ‘without par-
ticular reference to per diem em-

ployees — while you may not get
uniformity throughout your de-
partment, you can get uniformity
on a city-wide basis for all pei
sons in the same classification.

Deputy Welfare Commissioner
Clifford McAvoy gave it as his
opinion that ‘the rules should be
flexible only to the extent that
operations necessitate flexibility,
and there should be a committee
of personnel officers in the vari-
ous departments to determine
such flexibility. I do not ee why

we should not have a genoral set
of rules for all employees doing
a certain type of work.

David A. Thompson, Assistant
to the Commissioner in the Public
Works Department, brought up:

“What has become of the very
good idea brought up in the meet-
ings last year of organizing a
city-wide inspection service to
spot-check on absences?’”

Commissioner Sayre pointed out
that no standard for sick leave
exists—except that per diem em-
ployees cannot get it until they
have served five years.

What you've just read may
sound extremely —_ bewildering.
Well, it is! It indicates, however,
that a lot of good minds are
groping for an answer to a big
Civil Service problem,

Various Civil Service organiza-
tions may be expected to give
their views to the conference,

Harry Feinstein, president of
the Federation of Municipal Em-
ployees, is looking forward to an
early adjustment of what he
calls ‘the inequality of sick
leave.” The Federation, inci-
dentally, by its long fight for de-
cent side-leave provisions, was in-
strumental in placing this item
first on the agenda.

So far as can be learned, the
Conference assigned a sub-com-
mittee to go into the matter fur-
ther and they are to report back
to the group June 24 at a meet-
ing to be held at the Arkwright
Club, 40 Worth Street.

The sub-committee consists of
representatives of the Budget
Bureau, Correction Department,
Health Department, Manhattan
Borough President, Parks Depart-
ment, Public Works Department,
Sanitation Department, Board of
‘Transportation and Welfare De-
partment.

Membership in the Conference
consists of Executive heads of de-
partments and deputized officials
with administrative responsibility
for personnel,

The Bureau of Training of the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion prepares tentative outlines
for the meeting.

Want to Chime In?

Before the Committee reports,
perhaps you would like to state
whether or not there should be a
uniform rule for all city depart-
ments on general problems,

Or, perhaps, you might want to
say something about just what is
the propery allowance regarding
vacations. Is the vacation an
earned right? What is the proper
allowance on sick leaves?

While the Bureau of Training
of the Commission serves as liai-
son agent, President Paul J.

Arrested in May

Nagle was arrested early in
May, charged with stealing $1,300
of the association's funds. In
other words, dues money collected
from chauffeurs and sweepers of

According to Assistant District
Attorney J, Irwin Schapiro, Nagle
took the cash in sums ranging
from $20 to $40 from July, 1940 to

The Promotions

‘The promotions made yesterday
consisted of three assistant chief
inspectors, six deputy chief in-
spectors, seven inspectors, eight
deputy inspectors, 18 captains, 49
lieutenants and 90 sergeants. All
the promotions were affected
through the filling of vacancies ex-
cepting the three assistant chief
inspectors, three of the deputy
chief inspectors arid ten of the 18
captains. The three assistant
chief inspectors, three of the
deputy chief inspectors and ten
captains were new jobs created
at the request of Police Commis-

sioner Lewis J. Valentine,

With the three new Assistant
Chief Inspectors, the Chief In-
spector will be relieved of con-
siderable personal supervision pre-
viously required.

‘The new cops were appointed at
the starting rate of $1,200, the
Sergeants at $3,500, Lieutenants
at $4,000 and Captains at $5,000.

The men made Sergeants aro
lucky inasmuch as the Sergenat
list expires immediately, A new

also be the last from the existing
list as it expires in September,

Asphalt Workers Promoted

How an Eligible List Was Saved

Borough President Stanley M.
Isaacs of Manhattan promoted
twenty-six asphalt workers in his
department and in a brief addres:
said that on behalf of the resi-
dents of Manhattan and motor-
ists who use the streets of that
borough, he thanked them for the
fine work they had done.

“You men have richly earned
the promotions,” said Mr, Isaacs.
“'T regret that there are not funds
available to give increases to more
men in this department. During
the three and « half years that I
have been in office I have found

you men, as I have found all men
in my department, energetic, co-
operative and really interested in
what you are doing.’’

Oppose Discrimination
Commander of the Veterans’
Civil Service League Sanford Gore
stated that his organization 1
quests no special treatment, but
that the laws with respect to pre
erence be properly carried out,
“Veterans are discriminated
against—especially by the federal
Clvil Service Commission.” Mr,
Gore feels that the present rules
provide many loopholes for the
denial of preferential treatment
to veterans, and that the federnl
government is taking advantage
of these loopholes, One important
improvement, the league
would be the publication of «dl
gible lists: by the federal con
mission, This practice {s today
followed by the New York City
and New York State Civil Serv

ice bodies, but not by the federal

to intercede with the government
so that veterans may be «ive

Banking By Mail
For Civil Employees

Banking by mail with the Trust
Company of North America, lo-
cated at 115 Broadway, New York
city, has proven to be very popu-
lar amongst thousands of Civil
service employees throughout the
city and State of New York. Many
Civil Service employees have
taken advantage of this new
banking service offered by the
Trust Company of North America
and have opened their accounts
by mail, They send their payroll
check as soon as they receive %
in special envelopes provided by
the bank for this purpose. When
the bank receives the check from
any State, local or federal em-
ployee, they receive immediate
credit and can draw upon these
funds at once. When you open

your account by mail, make your
deposits by mail, or pay your bills
by mail, you will save consider-
able time and trouble in addition
to carfare and provide yourself
with a 24-hour banking service.

Fo

the convenience of Civil
ice employees, the Trust Com-
remains open daily from

8.30 a, m, to 3.30 p. m. and 4.30
pm. on pay-days; 12 noon on

Largest Group

‘This is the largest group ever
to take a promotion test to police
sergeant, since the requirements,
for the first time, permitted pa-
trolmen of all grades to file appli-
cations. However, no patrolman
will be promoted unless he has
reached the rank of first-grade
at the time of appointment,

Actually, about 16,000 members
of the police force were eligible
to take the promotion test. More
than half decided not to apply,
however, mainly because they
were either nearing the retire-
ment age or because they were

newcomers who felt that they had
insufficient seniority to place high
on the list, Others may have
thought the competition would be
too tough.

Five-Hour Test

‘The written session is expected
to last about five hours. The
mark received on the written test
will count fifty per cent in de-
termining the final standing of
eligibles, Record and seniority
will make up the rest of the final
rating,

A set of instructions for Ser-
geant candidates has been set up
by the commission, warning can-
didates of all phases of the test.

The “general provisions” are
sufficiently informative and if
given proper attention there will
be no need for any candidate to
ask questions, according to the in-
structions,

No Help
Candidates are warned against

obtaining or giving help and spe-
cifically cautioned not to bring
books, pamphlets or other aids or
references to the examination,

And, shhh, don’t try to sneak
a smoke in the washroom or out
the window you go by way of dis-
qualification,

Part one of the teat will consist
of 100 so-called short-answer-type
questions. Candidates are re-
quired to answer only fifty of
these questions, but they must
answer in accordance with the
schedule which states that you
can answer any five of the first
series of ten questions or any five
of the succeeding series of ten
questions.

But in no case should a candi-
date answer more than five in
any series of ten questions.

Part two consists of ten s0-
called essay-type questions, Can-
didates are required to answer
only five of these questions.

Good luck, fellows.

What Every Sergeant Should Know

Final Study Material for Coming Police Test

Question 22

Statistics of the New York City
Police Department indicate that
larcenies of automobiles have
shown a decided increase during
the past year. To what factor
may this apparent increase in
this type of crime be attributed?
What steps might be taken to re-
duce the number of larcenies of
automobiles?

Answer to Question 22

A. Reason for apparent increase
in larcenies of automobiles.

1. In order to better coincide
with the Uniform Crime Classifi-
cation certain complaints which
were heretofore classified by the
Police Department as ‘‘Investiga-
tion of Larcency” are now classi-
fied as “Grand Larcency.”’

2, These complaints particular-
ly have to do with automobiles
taken from locations and repos-
sessed by finance companies;
those taken for joyriding; those
left by owners at locations which
they could not recall, but which
automobiles were subsequently
found and those reported missing
and recovered within a period of
twenty-four hours, Statistics
would therefore appear to indicate
an increase in such larcenies al-
though no actual increase took.
place.

B. Steps which should reduce
the number of automobile
larcenies,

1, The problem of preventing au-
to thefts is principally an educa-
tional one. Therefore the first
step should be a determined edu-
cational campaign among the own-
ers of automobiles,

2. At the time of using registra-
tion, chauffeur and operator Ii-
censes the Motor Vehicle Bureau
should issue a printed set of rules
to the recipient of each such li-
cense as a constant reminder how
to prevent such thefts.

3, Carelessness is the greatest
single cause of auto thefts. Each
owner should be impressed with
the necessity for safeguarding his
automobile as he would any other
personal property. Leaving autos
unguarded, unlocked and with the
ignition key readily available in-
vites thefts. The elimination of
this carelessness should be the
principal phase of the educational
campaign.

4. Many autos ara taken for
joy rides."”

‘This constitutes larcency under
provisions of the Penal Law.
Many youths who take autos for
“joy rides” are unaware that they
are committing a serious crime,
larcency. The magnitude of this
matter should be thoroughly im-
pressed on all boys in school
through the cooperation of the
Board of Education, Laws relat-
ing to larcency should be fully
explained to them,

5. Cooperation of manufacturers
in providing adequate lock mech-
anism should be enlisted, A lock
which would require the removal
of the key before the ignition is
turned off, would do much to pre-
vent the theft of motor vehicles.

6. It should be required by law
that all owners of public, and pri-
vate garages that are rented out,
keep a record book containing a
record of all automobiles stored
in such garage, including in such

record the make, registration and
motor number of each car as ro-
corded on the registration license,
as well as the name, address, and
chauffeur’s or operator's license
of the person storing the auto
therein, All such garages should
be open for inspection to all mem-
bers of the Police Department,
Such requirements would eliml-
nate the ‘drop’ or place of stor-
aga of stolen automobiles.

All auto repair shops, second-
hand auto parts businesses, as
well as employees of such places
should be licensed by the Police
Department. All employees and
owners should be fingerprinted
and thoroughly investigated by the
Police Department.

8, Persons operating second-hand
auto parts businesses should be
required to submit a report to the
Police Department, giving in de-
tail a description and history of
each automobile dismantled by
them.

9, Sale of insurance on automo-
biles should be more closely super-
vised to prevent thefts to collect
insurance,

10. The public should be urged
to cooperate with the Police by
notifying the radio despatcher im-
mediately if an auto has been
stolen so that an alarm may be
broadcast without delay.

11. A more frequent broadcast
of the license numbers of auto-
mobiles reported stolen, and an in-
crease in the number of Police
Department automobiles with two-
way radio sets, would result in
more arrests and thereby discour-
age thefts of this nature,

Many Developments for Them

Several notable developments
reveal improvement in the pros-

pects for appointments of Gen-
eral Investigator eligibles. These
are recorded in the latest report

‘Pool’ of Clerical Workers

New Steno, Typist Test Coming Up

(Exclusive)

The U. S. Civil Service Com-
mission, The LEADER has
learned, will soon announce open
continuous stenographer and
typist examinations for positions
in Washington, The exams will
be open to both men and women,

A stenographer and typist test
for both men and women closed
June 9, and when the new open
exams will be announced will
depend on the number of persons

who applied for the test that
closed yesterday. Civil Service
officials estimated the number of
applicants wouldn't go over
50,000, about a third of the num-
ber a similar test would have at-
tracted a few months ago. It’s
highly likely that the nw test
will be announcea within a few
days, or weeks, at the most.

Jobs Before List

Meantime, the Commission is
rushing examinations for stenog-

raphers and typists. Commission
officials say that new registers of
eligibles will be established before
July 15. It's quite likely that
hundreds who applied for the
tests will be offered jobs in Wash-
ington before the register is es-
tablished. Stenographers and typ-
ists are that much in demand.
Some personnel experts are try-
ing to get the Civil Service Com-
mission to set up a reserve pool
of clerical employees so defense
agencies could get new employees
on an hour's notice, It is thought
of these progressive officials that

F.D.R. WANTS WPA
EMPLOYEES
IN CIVIL SERVICE

A fight in the House is certain
over the plea of President Roose
velt to place 20,000 administrative
employees of Works Projects Ad-
ministration under Civil Service.
‘The President made his request in
his message that asked $886,000,-
000 for WPA during the 1942 fis-
cal year,

Mr, Roosevelt pointed out that
he couldn't bring WPA employees
under Civil Service because of the
restriction sagainst them in the
Ramspeck Act. He urged that the
“discrimination be eliminated.”

The truth is that Democrats
themselves put in the WPA re-
striction, Ramspeck wanted all
employees covered in, but his
Democratic colleagues on the
House Civil Service Committee
balked because they hadn't been
given WPA patronage in their dis-
tricts and the chairman was
forced to exempt them.

Deputy Collectors
And Ramspeck Test

The jobs of deputy collectors of
Internal Revenue have been un-
der inquiry recently by Civil Ser-
vice Commission examiners. The
examiners report that deputy col-
lectors do everything, literally,
from running errands, to typing,
to engaging in the serious and iin-
portant business of settling Fed-
cral claims against a taxpayer.

What's worrying the Commis-
sion is how a mental test can be
prepared which will rightfully
test the worth of each deputy col-
lector in his present job. It
should be worrying the deputy
collectors, also, particularly that
group which will be brought
under Civil Service through the
Ramspeck Act.

This is just a hunch of ‘The
LEADER correspondent: ‘Tha
Commission will rule out mental
tests and will grade deputy col-
lectors on experience and educa-
tion,

FHA Looks to Colleges
To Make Up Shortage

Federal Housing Administration,
which will be brought under Civil
Service by the Ramspeck Act, is
anticipating trouble in recruiting
Personnel under Civil Service.
Meantime, a plan is being worked
up to interest college graduates
who know something about archi-
tecture, land appraising and real
estate to take junior aid jobs with
FHA, It's planned to get colleges
and universities to offer courses
in subjects which will fit students
for FHA jobs,

Big Turnover
In Navy Yard

‘The Brooklyn Navy Yard has
had a 26 per cent turnover during
the past ten months. The turn-
over has been one of the highest
of any Federal agency and the
Navy pointed to it in demanding
that employees be _ partially
“frozen’’ in their jobs, The Presi-
dent followed the Navy's advice
and Government employees now
aren't permitted to participate in
Civil Service tests nor is the
Civil Service Commission per-
mitted to certify employees who
have other jobs in the service,
unless, of course, they receive
written permission from their
bosses. It is rumored here that
the President will ‘freeze’ all
employees in their jobs, but ad-
ministration officials say it won't
be done for sometime, if ever.

kicked out’ of government service
for a phony reason, while the
real reason was that his superior
thought him “too old,”

Senator Mead has introduced a
resolution to provide a ‘sweeping
investigation” by the Secretary of
Labor of discrimination against
middle-aged and older workers
both by the government and by
private enterprise, Public hear-
ings will be held in the near fu-
ture on the resolution.

The section of Senator Mead’s
letter dealing with the case of
discrimination follows:

“T have this in mind as I write
you this very friendly inquire con-
cerning Mr. Philip E. W. Good-
win

“Mr. Goodwin entered the gov-
ernment service over six and one-
half years ago. Prior to that he
held lucrative positions in private
business,

“During his government ser-
vice, he has been employed in
numerous positions, _ including
Permit assistant, Permit adviser,
Assistant Head .of the Statistics
and Reports Division, Superior of
the Wine Code, Enforcement Su-
pervisor and Investigator, with

the Federal Alcohol Control Ad
ministration, and its successor,
the Federal Alcohol Administra.
tion, He was transferred from
his position with the Federal
Alcohol Administration on July 8,
1940, to the position of Inspector
in the Alcohol Tax Unit, Bureau
of Internal Revenue.

“When it became necessary for
the Alcohol Tax Unit to submit
names of its employees, like Mr.
Goodwin, to the Civil Service
Commission, for classification, Mr.
Goodwin was notified that due to
his physical condition he could
not be so recommended,

“After receiving this notifica-
tion, I am informed Mr. Goodwin
requested and obtained a thor-
ough physical examination which
revealed him to be in excellent
health, He is now sixty-six years
of age.

“When his physical condition
had been found satisfactory, the
real cause for his rejection and
dismissal became known. The file
that I have contains a copy of a
letter addressed to you on April
15, 1941, and signed by Mr. R. E.
Tuttle, District Supervisor of the
Alcohol Tax Unit, in which Mr.
Tuttle frankly states: ‘I oppose

oo

SENATOR MEAD

the Civil Service appointment of
Mr, Goodwin on account of his
age.’

“This reason was given in spite
of the fact that Mr, Goodwin had
a splendid record so far as sick-
ness js concerned, in his six and
one-half years in the government
service.

“To add to this man’s difficul-
ties, because his separation from
the government has not been ad-
judged as being due to a reduc-
tion of force, his name has not
been permitted to go on the
Emergency Replacement list and
he is, therefore, unable to accept
offers for employment which he
otherwise would be able to accept.

A bill requiring the U. S. Civil
Service Commission to maintain
registers of eligibles in district
offices for public inspection has
been introduced into the House of
Representatives by Representa-
tive William B, Barry of Queens.
Entitled “A Bill to Classify
Civil Service Employees,” it is
numbered H R, 4917.

The bill calls for the certifica-
tion of all veterans who quality
on eligible lists or are placed on
reinstatement lists for a period of
not more than three years, in the
order of their standing. Appoint-
ing officers of departments will
be compelled to state, in writing,
the reasons why veterans are re-

pel the Civil Service Commission
to maintain lists of eligibles, vet-
eran and non-veteran, for public
inspection in the Commission's
office in Washington and such
other district offices as prescribed
by the President. The introduc-
tion of the bill climaxes a three-
year fight by Commander A. E.
‘Allees of the Veterans Civil Ser-
vice League. Other federal elig-
ibles associations, such as the
General Investigator Eligibles As-
sociation, have also been fight-
ing for the publication of federal
civil service registers, H. R. 4917
1s expected to receive wide sup-
port from veterans organizations
and federal eligible groups
throughout the country.

You Can Bea
Card Puncher

“The best opportunity in years,"
is what many experienced in
Civil Service are calling the new
federal exam for Card Punch
Operator, for which filing remains
open until further notice.

This is the first time that the
Federal Commission is using the
unassembled type of examination
to fill a popular title. That is, a
candidate is not required to take
any examination. All he does 1s
list on his application blank his
experience and training, and he
gets a rating on the basis of their
extent and quality.

Thousands of Card Punch Op-
erators, both men and women,
are expected to be appointed as
a result of this latest call.

The fact that filing is indefnitely
open allows anyone to prepare
himself for the Card Punch Op-
erator job. All he has to show
is that he has completed a 60-
hour course in the actual opera-
tion of card-punch machines. It
is still time to register for such
@ course.

ee Attendant Problems

Committee Will Try to Solve Some Tough Ones

The Governor's Committee on
Reclassification, whose major ac-
complishment thus far has been
the switch of 10,000 Hospital At-
tendant jobs from the non-com-
petitive to the competitive clas

cheduled to meet late this
week in New York City. Several
problems face the twelve-man

body, headed by President Grace
A. Reavy, of the State Civil Serv-
ice Commission:

Shall 2,000 nurses be switched
from the non-competitive to the

competitive class, so that future
vacancies will be filled from lists
set up after competitive tests?

There’s much to be said for the
negative, since the defense pro-
gram has brought about a short-
age of nurses, and competition for
nurse jobs is hard to find as it is.

What Promotions?

What promotion lines shall be
set up for Hospital Attendants?
There's been much talk for pro-
motions ever since the attendant
jab became competitive in Janu-
ary. As the situation rests to-
day, the Charge Attendants are
to be appointed by the superin-
tendents, but appointments as Su-
pervisors should be from a com-
petitive list. However, in some
institutions the supervisors are
nurses, and until the nurse job
goes into the competitive class it

is feared that no promotion lines
will be set up,

Most important, the committee
is faced with the problem of what
to do about the situation with re-
gard to the hospital attendant
job. The present list, which start-
ed off with 15,000 names on Janu-
ary 1, is nearly exhausted; decli-
nations and resignations have
taken a terrific toll, The new
exam, to be held Saturday, June
21, probably won't be taken by
more than 5,000 candidates, and
a new list of under that number
of eligibles will result. Vacan-
cies are at a high level, and the
prospect of finding people to ac-
cept attendant jobs, with defense
industries luring away workers in
many sections, is slim indeed.

Protest
Payroll Test

A vigorous protest against an
open competitive examination for
Payroll Auditor in the State In.
surance Fund was wired Friday
to Grace A. Reavy, president
the State Civil Service C
sion, who was meeting w
Commission in Albany,
read:

“We protest request for ay
competitive examination to Pay-
roll Auditor, State Insure
Fund. Administration gave
ances that a promotion ex
tion would be given to fill future
vacancies in this category. We
therefore request hearing before
any action is taken." It was
signed “Employees of the Payroll

Draftees’ Vacations
What Happens to Them?

A problem that is perplexing
the heads of State departments
now that summer is approaching
is what to do about vacations of
drafted employees, It is known
that much pressure is being put
‘on Governor Lehman to declare a
uniform policy to be used through-
out the service, If that were to
be issued, it is likely that county,
city, town, and village jurisdic-
tions would follow the State's
lead,

The question is this: when an
employee is drafted, what hap-
pens te the vacation to which he

is entitled? Does he have to take
it before induction? Or will the
vacation, like his job, be waiting
for him when he comes back? Or
what?

A solution was offered in the
State Legislature during the 1941
session as a provision in the Page
Bill, guaranteeing the rights of
draftees, This provision would
have given all drafted Civil Ser-
vice workers 30 days’ pay, in lieu
of vacation or accumulated sick
leave. But the Legislature was
deaf to the pleas that the provi-
sion would actually cost the State
no additional money, and amend-
ed it out of the measure,

You'll hear more about this
problem in coming weeks,

WOULD YOU WORK WITHOUT
A RAISE FOR 25, 30, OR
40 YEARS?

‘Here’s One Bill That Deserves
The Support of the American Public—
Our Employers

It’s called H. R. 1057—a Bill to establish longevity pay or service promotions for Post Office Employees. '
Introduced in the House by Representative Flannery of Pennsylvania, and in the Senate by Senator Mead
of New York, this Bill would set up a series of increases so that a Post Office Employee who has rendered ten
years of service would receive a raise in salary of $1.90 a week, and an additional $1.90 a week every fifth year
thereafter until he has served continuously for thirty years and has reached the maximum salary.
We think you will agree with us that a $1.90 a week raise after working ten years, and a raise every fifth
year thereafter, is not too much to ask!

At the present time, a Post Office Employee reaches his maximum salary grade in five years and from
then on may work for twenty-five, thirty or even forty years without a single increase. There has been no in-
crease in the Postal Department since 1925.

The Longevity Pay Principle is not a new idea. It has been established in the Army, the Navy, the Marine
Corps, the Geodetic Service, the Public Health Service, and some branches of the Custom Service for a long time.
Isn’t the Post Office Employee entitled to the same pay principle that these other government employees enjoy?
Longevity will turn the Postal system of the United States Government into a genuine career department and
will make it more interesting to the average young man.

More and more tasks have been turned over to the’Postal Employee in the last few years, the handling of
Veterans Adjusted Service Bonds, Social Security Registration, Unemployment Census, Registration of Aliens,
Baby Bonds and now Defense Stamps and Defense Bonds.

In 1913, there were 301,000 Post Office Employees and the Post Office revenue was $266,000,000. In 1940,
there were 268,360 Post Office Employees and the Post Office revenue was $766,948,000, .

Between 1913 and 1940, Post Office revenue increased $500,948,000.00, but there were 32,000 less
employees.

Don’t you think this extra work and this additional revenue entitle Post Office Employees to a $1.90 a
week raise? If you do think so, then add your support along with others of the American Publie—our employers
who are helping us to achieve this worthy legislation.

Sabotaging
The Ramspeck Act

HE LEADER gets some disquieting news from
| its Washington correspondent.

It looks as though some members of Congress
the peanut politicians, again—will make efforts to
sabotage the Ramspeck Act on the eve of its becoming
effective. Here’s one example: The House of Repre-
sentatives has voted to deprive administrative em-
ployees of the National Youth Administration from the
benefits that would be theirs under the Ramspeck Act.
The House voted on the theory that the agency was
only “temporary.”

Now card punchers in the census bureau are also
“temporary,” but they obtain the benefits of Civil
Service.

If employees are to be kept out because they’re
“temporary,” they can be kept out for other slim reasons.
It’s a wedge which can be used as a precedent.

The Ramspeck Act is one of the truly great ad-
vances in the merit system. It is up to civil servants
to see to it that no one gets away with sabotaging it.

It Isn’t Too Early....

IVIL Service workers called into the army from
C the National Guard are already receiving the dif-

ference between their military and civil pay, un-
der the recent decision of the Court of Appeals. That's
an interesting aftermath to all the talk we heard during
the past session of the State Legislature that paying sal-
ary differentials to public employees is “discriminatory.”
As a result of this talk, non-guardsmen Civil Service
workers who are drafted don’t get a nickel from their
employers—New York State and its counties, cities,
towns, and villages. That despite the fact that many
private employers are providing their drafted workers
with bonuses ., . and public employers are supposed to
set themselves up as models to private employers. By
giving legal sanction to the payment of the differential,
the highest court of the State has relegated the discrim-
ination theory to the ashcan. If this theory has any valid-
ity at all, it is in reverse: it is the public workers of New
York State who have been discriminated against.

This court ruling paves the way for the next step. It
is not too early to start planning today for a campaign
in the 1942 session of the Legislature that will provide
the full differential — or at least a substantial portion
of it—for all public employees in New York State called
into the army.

Unity With
Postal Worker:

HE postal workers have been lauded for their quiet
N efficiency, their large public spirit.

All very nice.

But invariably forgotten is the sad fact that postal
workers haven't had a penny of salary increase since
1925!

The postal workers are showing the stuff they're
made of. They refuse to take it lying down. They're
putting up a grand fight to gain—in some modest degree
recompense in tune with their work, and with the ris-
ing scale of prices. Hopes of the men and women who
take care of our mails are embodied in the longevity
bill, now in Congrss, which would grant to them an in-
crease of $1.90 a week after ten yeears of work,

Saturday marks the theme of Civil Service unity —
the day when civil servants get behind the postal workers
in their fight. On that day — Longevity Day — postal
workers and civil servants will gather in Palisades Park
to dramatize the struggle for the $1.90 pay raise. There's
a free ticket for you on page 2.

Through unity of civil servants on issues like these,
great things can be accomplished, Today, the postal
workers need the firemen, the sanitation men, the clerks
and stenographers, and all others who work for the
wovernment. Tomorrow, those groups may need the
postal people,

IN THE PRESENT feverish prep-

member of the city government,
with the exception of the Mayor,
has been called upon to occupy a
position as important as that ad-
ministered by Walter D, Binger,
Commissioner of Borough Works
in the office of Manhattan Bor-
ough President Stanley M. Isaacs.

Commissioner Binger early this
year was selected by the Secretary
of War as chairman of the National
‘Technological Civil Protection Com-
mittee, On this committee he rep-
resents the American Society of
Civil Engineers, the other members
representing the other ten great na-
tional engineering societies. He has
handled this vital job with a com-
posure and quiet efficiency which
has been characteristic of his ca-
reer, Much of the work that has
been accomplished by his commit-
tee will, of course, have to remain
a secret for obvious reasons. How-
ever, we are permitted to reveal
that the work of Commissioner
Binger’s committees is divided into
seven categories:

Air Raid Shelters; Water Supply;
Sewage Treatment*and Refuse Dis-
posal; Highway Allocation; Camou-
flage; Population Movement, and
Protection of Muminating Gas and
Elec! Plants and distribution
systems.

With regard to the highway allo-
eation phase of his work, Commis-
sioner Binger has said:

They Don’t Like the

Sirs: Here is one phase of how
the Sanitation eligibles are being
absorbed into Civil Service and ex-
actly what opinions, privileges and
general advantages they have de-
rived from this service.

The writer is a representative of
at least fifty-two eligibles appoint-
ed to the Board of Transportation,
April 22, 1941, as Car Cleaners at
forty-six cents per hour. We were
assigned to the buses and trolleys
in the B,M.T, Division, Upon re-
porting, we were told that we had
to work sixty hours per week, ten
hours per day for a six-day week,
many of us to be selected for night
work, The work isn’t what one
might term extraordinary, but we
hoped for more from our Civil
Service status and its advantages.

Gradually, through certain occur
ences, we lost a lot of our eager-
ness, Now something has material-
ized which has irked and aroused
every one of us. Perhaps we are
wrong, but knowing your help has
been sought on many such occa-
sions, we too seek an answer and
solution to our problem,

Our difficulty concerns holiday
and vacation privileges. It was our
understanding that we would be en-
titled to six holidays each year and
one day's vacation for each month
of service, This belief has already
been disillusioned by refusing us
Decoration Day and informing us
that there will be no vacations this
year, How do we stand in the

matter? Must we just continue be-
ing faithful menials to the Board
of Transportation?

A SANITATION ELIGIBLE,

National Association
Of Eligibles?

Sirs: A recent suggestion in the
letter column of the LEADER
was to form a national associa-
tion of the various groups of fed-
eral eligibles.

In our opinion, this suggestion
is a good one, ‘The prestige of a
national organization with a large
membership and headquarters in
Washington would aid materially
in inducing the U. S. Civil Service
Commission to publish federal re-
gisters and give more information
to eligibles,

‘The association could be instru-
mental in sponsoring legislation of
general benefit to civil service
which would be of mutual bene-
fit to all its members. It could
likewise oppose, as a group, legis-
Jation which is detrimental.

It could also work in coopera-
tion with the groups representing
the civil service incumbents; the
idea being that what affects the
present civil service employees,
naturally concerns future civil
servants.

Beauty

It's under way with a bang!

The big Leader glamour contest . «
the hunt for the girl who is the-most-
beautiful-of-all-in-civil-service . . . the
complete and final answer to all those
cynics who say pretty gals don't hold
down government jobs.

Some time ago Columnrst Walter Win-
chell devoted a column to the pretty
government gals who are in Washington,
Life magazine recently seconded him
with a whole feature-spread on a Wash-
ington belle. We say the best looking
femmes are right in New York State—
and we have the proof, Just have a look!

Perhaps you know her, the girl who
will win a prize in this contest. Perhaps
you have lunch with her every day. Per-
haps she works at the desk next to yours,
or in a department that you know about.

The rules for entering the Leader
beauty contest are simple. The entree
must be a Civil Service employee and she
must work in New York State. She may
be a typist, a teacher, a welfare worker,
a technician, a nurse, a clerk, an investi-
gator or what have you. And she may be
single or married. And the color of her
hair doesn't matter.

Judges in the contest are handsome
Newbold Morris, President of the City
Council; glamor-man Victor Mature,
brilliant star of “Lady in the Dark’; the
prominent Fifth Avenue furrier, I. J. Fox,
and Seward Brisbane, editor of The Leader.

First prize is a $400 fur coat, to be
selected by the winner; second prize is a
$200 fur coat for the runner-up. The first
two prizes are being contributed by
I. J. Fox. There will be other prizes, too,
to be announced later.

To enter the contest, all you have to
do is forward a photo or snapshot (or at
Jeast name and address) to Beauty Con-
test Editor, Civil Service Leader, 97
Duane Street, New York City. Choose
any photo or snapshot you like—full-face
or profile, head or complete figure, what-
ever you think the best presentation.
We'll take anything, but a larger picture
helps, if you have one available. There's
no objection if you want to enter yourself
in the contest. The name of the persons
entering the contestant is kept confidential.

So let's have your nomination — as
quickly as you can! Maybe you have a
wiuner there!

The LEADER has made a careful effort to find study material
which will be suitable for those planning to take the U. S. Junior
Clerk tests, Upon close study of the examination requirements, and
of the basis of rating, The LEADER advises that you acquaint your-
self with the material which appears below and which will continue
to appear from time to time until the exams are given. The following
is from a New York City test for Clerk, of a nature closely corre-
sponding to the provisions of the present federal job.

low, four possible answers are
suggested. Underline the answer
you consider to be the best one in

ether with the papers which you

Question, Please?

Outside Work

M.A.: A Grade 1 Clerk, earning
$840 per year, is not permitted to
engage in part-time outside work.
Under an executive order of the
Mayor, issued about three years
ago, and since renewed, city em-
ployees are not permitted to do
outside work,

One Test Enough

G.J.B.: Apparently, you are @
Civil Service employee right now.
Tt you passed a federal Civil Serv-
ice examination last May, were
appointed in November, you need
not take another test to qualify
under the Ramspeck Act. This
act merely brings those federal
employees into Civil Service, who
were appointed without examina-
tion.

Chance for a Job

S.P.: We cannot estimate your
chances for appointment from fed-
eral registers due to the various
factora which enter into these ap-
pointments, We suggest that you
write to the U. 8, Civil Service
Commission for your present rela-
tive standing on your list.

Off Again, On Again
S.V.P.: Write to the Municipal
Civil Service Commission, 209
Broadway, New York City. Ask
them to remove your name from
the list for maintainer's helper,
group B, for a period of three
months. When the three months
are up, your name will be restored
to the list upon written request,

When to Apply
For Test

§.K.: You can only apply for
Civil Service tests during the
period in which applications are
being issued and received, A list
of all examinations for which ap-
plications are being issued and

by H. Eliot Kaplan
Contributing Editor

received, appears under Examina-
tion Requirements each week in
The LEADER. There are no ap-
plications open for bookkeepers
at the present time. As soon as
an examination for this title is
announced by any one of the three
Civil Service commissions, full re-
quirements will be published in
The LEADER.

Test for Barbers

JL The test for barber has
been “ordered” by the Municipal
Civil Service Commission but not
“announced” as yet. As soon as
the test is announced, full require-
ments, including dates for obtain-
ing and filing applications, will be
published in The LEADER.

Filing for Two

Steno Tests

D.B.: The fact that you filed for
the stenographer-typist test for
appointment in New York State,
will not prevent you from filing
Yor the stenographer-typist test
for appointment in Washington.

Must Make Own
Decision

H.C.: Sorry, but it is not our
policy to advise you to accept or
reject the offer of an appoint-
ment, We can merely explain the
situation objectively and let you
decide for yourself. Your present
position is perrtanent, A proba-
tional indefinite appointment for
the duration of the emergency is
an appointment for a few years,
It is not a lifetime job. However,
after six months you will have all
the rights of a permanent em-
ployee except permanent status,
Figure it out for yourself,

From State to State

J. F.: Even though you have
been transferred, as a federal em-
ployee, from New York to Michi-

gan, you may retain your legal
residence in New York, You can-
not vote in Michigan, but vote in
New York, since your legal res!-
dence is there, Do not worry
about being transferred from one
federal agency to another against
your will, You can refuse to be
transferred if the new position 1s
in an unsatisfactory location or
pays a smaller salary, or 1s other-
wise unacceptable,

Re-employment

B, F.; It the regular employee
who has been drafted, whose post!-
tion you are filling, returns to
duty next year, you will be ell-
gible for the federal re-employ-
ment register, which must be used
before the open competitive regia-
ter. Because of the large number
of appointments being made for
clerk-typist positions, this will be
equivalent to an immediate ap-
pointment elsewhere.

Apply to Department

J. H.: For either a temporary
or permanent position which is
not subject to examination, you
must apply directly to the depart-
ment in which you wish to be em-
ployed.

Old List, New List

G, Ki: The announcement of «
new examination does not mean
that the existing eligible register
has been abolished, It will be used
until the new register, resulting
from the new examination, is
made up, which may take many
months;

No Way of Telling

S. G.: Because you were reject-
ed in one examination on the
ground of insufficient experience,
there 1s no way to tell how long
you must walt before trying
another, It depends on the re-
quirements of the position for
which you are making application,

Welfare

Indignation Over

Supervisor Test
Indignation is still running high
in the department over the tests
for Supervisor Grade 2 and Su-
pervisor Grade 3, held May 24.
The feeling among many of those
who took the test and have since
written The LEADER about it is
that the construction of the ques-
tions in many cases was such as
to make any answers valueless.

They point to the vocabulary,
where far-fetched definitions were
given for certain common words,
like “liberal” for “eclectic.” They
point, too, to the questions which
were open to more than one in-
terpretation—“and how was I to
know which one of these interpre-
tations was {n the examiner's
mind," It is known that there will
be widespread protest to the offi-

that time-limit lapse.

The Winnahs!

The anticipated Department of
Welfare scored its fourth win
when it trounced the Board of
‘Water Supply by the score of 8-0
in a Municipal Athletic Game
played at the Parade Grounds,

The brilllant Welfare infield
recorded three double plays to
ease Walter “Red” Schaeffer's
pitching burden to record his
third win of the season, Only one
fly ball went out to the outfield,

Hy Rosner handled 16 chances
without a miscue and slammed
out his second home run of the
season.

Vital Statistics:

Welfare has scored a total of
48 runs in 28 innings at bat,
Schaeffer, Ed. Schwartz, Jack
Salz and Joe Blacker are hitting
over .400, Utility players George
Jacobs and Louis Klein have .600
and ,666 batting averages,

How Welfare

The Association Helps

‘The Association uncovered its
big guns last week in an effort to
help recruit candidates for the
coming Hospital Attendant test,
for which filing ends today. In an
‘nnouncement for all bulletin
ards throughout the State, this
Was said:

“Our Association for some years
Sdvocated the extension of the
Competitive class of the Civil
Service because of the benefits of
that classification to our members
"nd because of the democratic
Principle of recruiting employees

solely on the basis of merit and
fitness. Because of the national
defense program and related rea-
sons, the recruitment of Hospital
Attendants has not worked out to
the entire satisfaction of everyone
concerned, However, we know
that you will agree that the new
procedure should be given a fair
chance to prove its worth.”

Park Specials

to Organize

All Park Department special
patrolmen have been invited to
attend the first meeting of the re-
cently reorganized Special Patrol-
men Association, The meeting will
be held on Friday, June 20, at
8:30 p. m., at the World Build-

Permanent Ass’t
Gardeners Meet June 3

The Five Boro Assistant Gard-
eners Organization will hold an
important meeting on Tuesday,
June 3, at 8:30 p. m., at the City
Court House, 52 Chambers street,
Manhattan. Among other import-
ant problems to be taken up is
a committee report from an inter-
view with the budget director,
with reference to per annum sal-
ary. All assistant gardeners, re-
gardless of other organization
affiliations, are invited to attend.

Think It Over

Park employees are close to the
bottom of the wage scale in com-
parison with personnel in other
department. The morale of the
force is lowered and progressive
employees who should be en-
couraged to make parks a career
seek employment elsewhere, with
a resulting turnover of men who
receive training and then are lost
to the Department—From Six
Years of Park Progress.

What’s Your Answer

Within the past week a num-
ber of letters have been received
from candidates who participated
in the Gardeners promotion exam
on May 17, requesting that their
answers to the text questions be
published, so as to ascertain
whether other candidates’ answers
coincide with theirs,

mits the following answers: Ques-
tion 11 (A); 36 (A, B, C.D); 54

L. B., Bronx, forwards the fol-
lowing: Question 74 D); 76 (E);
78 (D); 79 (F); 80 (G); 89 (I).

On View at Strand

Shopgirls seem to be the new
vogue for screen heroines. A few
weeks ago it was Jean Arthur as
the poor salesgir] in ‘The Devil
and Miss Jones.” Today it is
Priscilla Lane as the rich sales-
girl in ‘“Million-Dollar Baby,”
which is the Strand Theatre's
bright new offering.

Our “million dollar baby” gets
her name when she inherits that
happy figure from an eccentric
old womas, who thus makes a
very pleasant hour or more pos-
sible in the Strand. For the in-
heritance brings complications, ro-
mantic and otherwise, and laughs.
The complications include Jeffrey
er who
the million-dollar good
news to Priscilla, the poor work-
ing girl, and stays to woo Pri-
scilla, the heiress; and Ronald
Reagan, as a cynical young com-
poser who loves Priscilla, but not
her money. May Robson is the
eccentric old lady.

On the Strand stage, the “in
person” show includes Les Brow
and his orchestra and vocalist,
Betty Bonney; Bea Wain of radio
fame; Dixie Dunbar and her
dancing Rhythmaires; and Robert
Williams and his wonder dog, Red
Dust.

“Sunny” Tanrsday,
At the Music Hall

The new Anna Neagle musical
film, “Sunny,” will open at the
Radio City Music Hall Thursday.
This is the film version of the
Jerome Kern operetta which
starred Marilyn Miller on Broad-
‘way and boasts some of the com-
poser’s most beloved music, in-
cluding ‘“‘Who?”, ‘Sunny’ and
“Two Little Bluebirds.” These
tunes and others are sung against
@ background of gay New Orleans
at Mardi Gras time, telling the
romance of a beautiful circus dan-
cer and a young Southern aristo-
crat. Miss Neagle appears in the
title role and others in the cast
are John Carroll, Ray Bolger, Ed-
ward Everett Horton, the Hart-
mans, Helen Westley and Frieda
Inescort.

JIMMY KELLY boasts of a
unique crew down at his village
bistro. Most of his employees
have been with him so long that
