‘The likelihood ts that the re-|

by the City Civil Service Com-
mission, which will abide by the
preference of Fire Commissioner

The Personnel Department sent
Commissioner Cavanagh a copy

"I am not satisfed that the |
present arrangements are ade-|

State Legisiature. “We should not
allow our former civil service peo-
ple and teachers to live out their
years in poverty, without th

RULING ON RESIDENCE

A person is not deemed to have
ined a residence for voting pur-
poses simply because of his ab-
sence from the State while em-
ployed in the Federal service, At-
torney General Jacob K, Javite
has ruled in an informal opinion,

an exam {s not diMcult, but prep-

{aration for it practically assures
| success, Some schools give spe-
|eial course for passing the equi-
alency test, which is given by
the Board of Education,
Why the Semi-Certainty

‘The inclusion of the high school
requirement appears almost cer-
tain because the Fire Department
ean not afford to put itself at a
disadvantage to the Pollre De-
partment, particularly on any
| basis for higher salaries for the
uniformed fire force, The usual
practice has been for the pay of
& patrolman and a fireman to be
the same, at the start, and with
the same higher rate after the
third year

The policemen are twice as
numerous as the firemen, If City
| oMciais should propose patrolman
get more than firemen, and high
school requirement were omitted

from the firemen test, the argu-|

ment could be made, that the p:
trolman minimum requirements
are higher.

There is a difference of opin-
fon tn the department itself, on
the high school requirement, Com-
missioner Cavanagh himself was
once quoted aying that he saw
no reason for {ts inclusion. The
Uniformed Fire Officers Associa-
tion favors inclusion, the Unt-
formed Firemen’s Association ts
| opposed.

High School Requirement
In Fireman Test Is Almost Sure;
Applications Open Next Month

One proposal, referred to the
Fire Department and employee
groups, was that the written test
be given greater weight than the
physical. The UFA strongly op-
Posed the idea of difference im
welghts,

Job Prospects

In the patrotman test, the
physical, formerly competitive,
was made qualifying, Instead. In
the fireman test there ts no such
propect. The physical will be
competitive. The exam require-
ments, save for possibly the one
about high school, will be the

| same as in the last one.

Pay starts at $4,000 « year and
rises to $5,315 after three years,
Minimum height ts 8 feet 6i%
inches, ages 20 to 29, with an up=
per-limit age allowance to vet~
erans,

The Fire Department Pension
Fund permits retirement at half
pay after 20 years’ service, with
$50 « year additional, for not more
than 10 years, hence not in evcess
of $500 additionay, The City pays
75 percent of the pension cost,
Appointment prospects are specu-
lative, but may be considered well
above the average of even the past
few years, Commisioner Cavanagh
asks for 2,056 wmore fireman jobs
in his departmental estimate for
1955-56. Recently were ap-
pointed,

UFOA Wants Pensions

The Uniformed Fire Oficers
Association of the NYC Fire De-
partment is exerting strong efforts
to get an increase of the pension
allowed for servi beyond 20
years, Members of the departinent
who were appointed prior to April
1, 1940 feel that the $50 added to
pension for each year of service
yond 20 years is a pittance, since

ployee continue during those "su~
per-years,

After 20 years’ service, retire-
ment at half pay ts provided. If —
member of the Fire Department
continues working beyond that
period, he figures that he ts work-
ing for half pay, anyway, because
had he retired after 20 years’ he
would have received half pay while
not working, But when he con-

fon contributions by the em-|

{inues on, his pension contribu-
tions likewise continue, and the |
money he puts up during the ex-
| cess period, he Ngures, is far mor
than the value of the extn
amount he will get back
Called Worst Feature

One member of the department

Pension Fund. |

The UFOA has accumulated a

lems brought before the assocta-
tion by its members relates to
pensions, and that recognition of

State Pension Commission

Will Offer Variety of Plans
To Combine Social Security

(Continued from Page 1)

ial Security for State workers
fm no way a device for pre-empt-
ing the present pension scheme,

“When public pensions were
first proposed, the idea met with
heavy resistance because many
workers feared the retirement
plan was an excuse for forcing
them from thelr Jobs," Mr. Kap-
Jan said.

Later, the introduction of So-
ial Security met with resistance
because some public employees |
felt it was a plan to replace thetr |
pension system,

No Fear of Reduction
Mr. Kaplan, an advisor to Prest-
dents Truman and Elsenhower on
retirement matters and an expert
in the public employee retirement
field for decades, declared that at
no time way Social Security con-

ecived as a means of reducing
other benefits

“Social Security, after ali, ts
insurance against casualties,” Mr.
Kaplan told his audience. “One of
ite major aspects is that the

widow and children of a worker

who dies young will be real
financial assistance.”
Pension plans, on lhe other

hand, are an in nent “pald for
by the worker from his salary,” he
sald.

Obviously,
moat desirable
the worker to hu
surance and as
as he can

“I can assure you that you will
mot be disappointed, no matter
what pian the State adopts,” Mr,
Kapiun declared,

Following his address, Edith
Fruchthendler, Metropolitan Con-
ference secretary, reported on a
Soclal Security poll taken among
members of the CSEA Metropoll-

situation is for
ye as much in-
much investment

tan Public Service chapter, of
which she is president
Many for Supplementatior
Of 97 member polled, 76, or 78
per cent, declared they wanted

complete supple ion with So-
Gta) Security and the present pen-
sion plan, Sixtern employees were
fm favor of improving the present

retirement system without adding
Social Security, and five workers
sald they would like an alternate

integration plan
for straight intes
systems.

CSEA members throughout the
State attended the meeting, Henry
Bhemin, Conference president, an-
nounced. Guests included Charles
B. Lamb, CSEA 5th vice president
and president of the Southern
Conference; Charles D, Methe,
Central Conference president;
John E. Graveline, Mental
siene employees representative on
the CSEA executive board; Philip
Kerker, CSEA publio relations di-
rector; Harold L. Herzstein, reg-
fonal CSEA counsel; Larry Hollls-
ter, Ter Bush and Powell repre-
sentative

WILL AFFECT NYC, TOO

While the moves toward com-
Dining Social Security benefits
apply now only to the State Em-
ployess Retirement System, of
which both State and local govern
ment employees are members, the
fina! decision will have an influ-
ential effect on NYC employees,
when their time con to vote on
Social Security, Already the four
‘Teamster International unions of
NYC employees, and the Govern-
ment and Civic Employes have

No one voted
ation of the two

sald Mr. Kaplan, the |

started moves to add Social Se-

ts | curity benefits to those of the

NYC Employees Retirement Sys-
tem.

Big UnionsBack
SoleBargaining
‘Unit Elections

The leading employee organiza-
tions in NYC want elections in
which the results will determine
which union shall be the exelu-
sive bargaining agent for all the
employees in any particular unit
of government, or category, for
which an election Is held, This is
one of the problems to be solved
in the permanent Jabor relations
code which NYC Is to adopt, and
which was expected to be in force
by this time, but has been delayed
of the crowded
schedule of the City officials who
must make the decision:

In the two departments in
which elections were held, both on
the same day, the vote decided
the Identity of the union and the
employees preferred, but no ex-
clusive bargaining agency result-
ed under any City auspices. In
the Sanitation Department, the
effect 3 the same, however, as
ff exclusive bargaining rights
went to the victor under the
tearms of the election

A gentlemen's agreement was

its charter, The result is that Lo-

he said, “unites the minority
with the majority.”

Why the Preference

Union leaders say that experi-
shows that the employees
best served, and the labor
movement progresses faster, when.
only one union representa all the
employees. These leaders freely
say that if thelr own union is de-
feated they would take the dofeat
with the best of grace, ‘though, of
course, preparing for the next
elections.

A proposal has been submitted
to Labor Commissioner Nelson
Seitel that bargaining elections be
held annually, following the cus-
tom In private industry.

The next NYC department in
which an election ts to be held

ence

inay be the Hospitals Department, |

The City Employees Union, Tedm-
stera International, has made for-
mal request to the Labor Depart~
ment through President Harry

"Fire Widows" Pensions
Must Be Increased

bill in the State Legislature would increase the pen-

sion granted to NYC firemen’s widows. If ever there

Was an overwhelming argument in favor of the enactment
of a bill, it exists in this case.”

The $50-a-month pension was enacted years ago.
This is a pittance. Both the State and the City have grant-
ed supplemental pensions, during the past few years, to
retired employees whose allowances are pitifully small.
Why must the same consideration be withheld from fire-
men’s widow

The City Administration should give the bill the
green light. That would just about guarantee its enact-
ment. Even when the $50 law was enacted, the resultant
$11.54 a week bought precious little. Now it buys so much
less that the widows’ plight must not be permitted to
eontinue,

The Uniformed Fire Officers Association and the Uni-
formed Firemen’s Association agreed on the terms em-
bodied in this bill, and had the measure introduced. Now
their legislative committees are working hard in Albany
to get the bill enacted. May they meet with the success
that their energetic efforts and the worthiness of the cause
deserve.

State Financing With
Aides' Loans Must End
recent article in the Albany Times-Union reported

AS in certain instances, State workers h been
forced to borrow travel expense money from small loan
sompanies to finance trips in the State's vice,

While this money is later repayed to the employee
by the State, the inconveniences of such an arrangement,
let alone the inequities, are obvious. In addition, the travel
expenses allowed by the State are in such an inadequate
amount In several instances that some employees have re-
ported spending their own funds in order to obtain decent
accommodations in some cities.

Under the State Constitution, advances of State funds
for expenses are forbidden,

However, a possible solution to this problem has been
proposed by Philip Florman, of the Commerce chapter,
Civil Service Employees Association.

Mr, Florman suggests that the State arrange for a credit
eard system with hotels, which would cut down on the
out-of-pocket expense.

At the same time, an increase in the present car
milage rate, from 8 to 10 cents per mile, plus an increase
in daily subsistence and room allowances from $11 to $18,
would alleviate the situation considerably.

Whatever cures are necessary, the State should give
its most serious consideration to a problem that is nothing
less than an imposition on State workers.

GRADE SPREAD LEAPED
Editor, The LEADER:

Before the NYC reclassification,
architects, civil engineers, me-
chanical engineers, chemical en-
gineers, ete, had a base salury of
$6,096 and thelr respective assist-
ants a base of $5,006, a difference
of $1,096,

After reciassification, the re+
spective bases became $7,100 and
$5,450, @ difference of $1,650.

LIKES THE WAY
STORY WAS PLAYED UP
Editor, The LEADER;

TI was pleased to see the promi-
nence The LEADER gave to the
action of the board of directors of
the Civil Service Employees Asso-
elation on Social Security,

T hope that complete supple~
mentation will be acceptable to
the majority of State employees,
but since some employees might
be better satisfed with modified
supplementation, offering a choice
of the two plans seems to be the
best answer to the problem.

BY WINIFRED BERNARD

WHILE THE OBJECT of hold-
ing a competitive civil service ex-
amination Is to select from among
the candidates those best qualified
to fill the job, administrators re-
port that the candidates who get
the highest
scores do not
of necessity
make the best
employees,
while some

candidates, ¢x-
pecially those
who fail, say

that civil serv-
ice commissions
do not neces-
sarily give the
best type of examinations,

A broad study of the reasons
for the nature of examinations
would lead to a discussion also
of personality and psychological
factors, and the largely expert-
mental field of testing for quall-
tles in a candidate difficult to
bring out through Intelligence,
aptitude, or professional compe-
tence criteria.

Let us consider the examination
as one for excluding those who
could not be expected to meas-
ure up to the Job's requirements.
That would give a clue to what
the tone of such an examination
should be.

Taking It All

When one considers all the sur-
rounding circumstances, such as
the nature of the job, the mini-
mum requirements for admission
to the examination, the salary,
and the needs of the service, one
finds that an examiner's area of
choice is somewhat limited.

All the operating factors teken
| together may be referred to as
the “climate” of a test, We may
thus say that the climate should
be such as ts healthy both for the
employer and the candidate.

The first consideration {* that
the examination as « whole
should not be pitched above the
| heads of the candidates

The stcond consideration ts
that inclusion of some questions
above the heads of some of thy

Winifred Bernard

candidates are allowable, if ques-
tions well within the climate of
the examination are numerous
enough so that a candidate can
pass by answering enough of the
climate questions correctly,

For the Joweat-paying Jobs,
those for which the requirements
are at a minimum, It may be ex-
pected that practically all the
questions would be within the
climate of an examination, Such,
for instance, was the case in the
NYC patrolman written test held
on January 28 last. I have read

CLIMATE
As a Function of Rating

the 100 questions and find only
one outside of the climate.
Two Tests Compared

In the State test given lest
spring for beginning office worker,
the questions also were practically
all within the climate of the ex-
amination, However, in the State
test for prpfessional and techni+
en! masistant, the climate became
more rarified. This, too, was an
Attraction to beginners, but
the minimum requirements and
the salary were higher, and some
Professional or technical knowl-
edge was required, The level ov
tone naturally would be higher,
the demands made on the candle
dates greater. So it proved, A
considerable number of questions
were beyond the climate of the
test, although not so many thet
if a candidate answered all of
those questions Incorrectly, he ov
she must fail,

Cream of the Crop

As the Job level gets higher, one
may expect that more and more
questions may pierce the natural
ceiling of the test. One may see
® reason for it, A commission,
seeking to fill certain types of
jobs, would want not only to dis-
cover which candidates do nob
show any signs of being suitable,
with the remainder constituting
the eligibles, but would like te
know which eligibles display ex-
ceptional keenness, talent, aptl=
tude, intelligence, and resources
fulness. The aim could be to dis-
cover which eligibles are well
above average. The effort might
fail, but it could be tried again,
in another examination, and
again and again, before being
abandoned as invalid, However,
should there occur a sharp upturn
of scores somewhere below the up~
per part of the list, a commission
could at last congratulate Itself
that it had found » valid means
of discovering which candidates
are outstanding,

When the lists are established
for professional and technical aa-
sistant, {t would be Interesting te
note whether a sharp brenk oc~
curs. If it does, it would tend te
show that the competitors whe
attained the scores that put them

iG | among the liet’s upper crust sue-

ceeded well in answering the
questions that lay In a sharper
climate, A commission could note
to what extent this was true for
all the leading eligibles, and know
with certainty, whereas an out
sider would have to do some guess+
ing.
Difference Climate Makes
A few examples will .how how
the climate of an examination is
® reality that must be respected,
Let uns take two examples in
which the Same answer would be

about checks as set forth in the

tremely bad advice on a mer-
chant’s public or customer rela-

answers, those that describe the

The answer {s correct, but
simply states the truism that the

numbers of men that could be
subjected to psychological analysis
but a far larger non-criminal

rather meaningless, However, as

and a four-hour-a-week reduction
for 33,000 aides who work 44 and
48 hours « week.

“*T have provided sufficient funds
to guarantee a no-loss-in-pay
provision for these employees,”
the Governor said,

The Administration's pay raise
plan, Mr, Harriman noted, means
“that most civil service employees
will receive a fint $300 per year
pay increase.”

The appropriation inchides funds
to hire additional personnel to
effect the work-week reduction In
State institutions.

Mr,
contribution to an
health program will be presented
in ® special mensuge to be. crliv-
ered Jater,

“Tight Badget’

“I have made « tight budget.”
the Go’
minimum increases for normal,
continuing expenditures and at
the same time makes it possible

to raise the whole levc’ of pay
for State employees with greatest
percentege of benefits going to
those tn lower pay brackets; to
reduce by four hours the excessive
work week of more than
Siate personnel who now are en-

waged for 48 hours a week, and for!

4,000 who work 44 hours; and to
establish «# health program for all
State personne!

The specifically “etvil service”
portion of the Governor's budget
message follows:

“Concern for persons in
lower income groups ts reflector
m my proposal for pay aad work-
week adjustments for State
employees. Our
achedules for middie and lower
level positions compare unfavor-
ably with tose of nearby staves,

the |

the City of New York, and the|

Federal government, In orter to
restore equity for our present em- |
ployees at this pay level and to
Improve our ability to recruit |
qualified people, it is essential to
bying our pay schedules into Nne
with those of other public
ployers

“E have also been disturbed by

em-

| enla

| ed practice worked on a»

the fact that 33,000 of our em-
ployees have ynder Jong-establish-
yearly
baals modern

standard

more than the
40-hour week, Slightly
more then 29,000 of these em-~-
ployees are working a regularly
scheduled 4-hour work week
Biweekly Pay Cheeks

Appropriations of §28.3 million
are recommended in this budget
to provide sufficient funds to give
an equivalent of a 15 per cen in-
crease on the first $2,000 of base
pay to civi) service employees of
the State, This means that most
