Charges Opposition With
Forcing Campaign Gifts

(From Leader Correspondent)

SYRACUSE—Political contributions of city employees
have become an issue of this fall's mayoralty campaign in
Syracuse.

Dr. Joseph Grosso, running for mayor under the Inde-
pendent Dynamic Party banner, has charged the contribu-
tions are “extortion” against city workers, He demands an
investigation by Governor Rockefeller, the State Attorney
General, the State Commission of Investigation, Onondaga
County District Attorney Joseph A, Ryan and the foreman
of the current Onondaga County grand jury.

Albany Aides
Go Over Top
In Chest Drive

(Special To The Leader)
ALBANY, Oct. 30—State em-
pDloyees in the Albany area led all
other civilians in supporting the
successful Albany
Chest drive,

Community
contributing more
than $84,000 for a whopping 4
per cent of thelr $66,000 goal, it
was reported to The Leader,

Joseph F. Feily, CSEA presid
and member of the Chest board,
referring to last winter's salary in-
creases for state employees said
“Their record donation emphati-
cally shows that public em-
ployees are more than willing to
| shoulder their civic responsibilities
|when they give given the
means to do so, .

The $1,040,000 compaign goal
actually was topped by almost
$1,000 as of last Friday, with
some pledges still to be tabulated,
The Leader was informed.

Schuyler Cites Aides’ Concern

General C. V, R. Schuyler, Com-
missioner of the State Office of
General Services, and chairman of
the Chest campaign's state divi-
sion organization, said the state
employees’ contributions pointed
up their concern for the charitable
agencies of the elty of Albany

The organization and adminis-
jtration of the drive within the
jvarious state agencies played a
large part in sending the Chest
goal over the top, he sald.

Mr, Felly said it was noteworthy
that the state employees surpassed
their goal without benefit of the
payroll deducton method which
was available to most other divi-
sions of the drive. He also thanked

of the Civil Service Employees
|Assn., which participated in the
jadminstraton of the campaign in
their own departmen’

“It is clvio achievements such
as this that bring the true mettle
of the civil service employees be-
fore the public eye,” Mr, Feily said

Employees Association last week called on the Administra-
tion to increase the allowance to 10 cents a mile,

The present mileage allowance, which has deteriorated
in value because of continued inflation, was widely criticized
by the more than 1,000 dediegates who attended the recent
annual meeting of the Civil Service Employees Assn., here,

there ts a “real need” for a completely new salary schedule
for the city’s 950 employees,
The mayor, in his annual budg-

suffer the loss of a benefit which

Doing Their Part

EW York City has had a proud record of city employee

participation in charitable events and all public employ-
ees will be proud to learn that upstate in Albany last week,
civil servants went over the top in contributions to the annual
Community Chest drive there by pledging more than 125 per
cent of the quota set for them.

As a matter of fact, the civil servants as a group came
out with the highest contribution rate, passing all other pri-
vate citizen employee groups,

This is not the only area in which the civil servant con-
tributes not only of his pocketbook but also of his
time. School boards, fund campaigns, civic projects and other
community activities often number civil servants among their
most active and energetic leaders and members,

All of which adds up to the fact that civil servants are
good citizens, doing their part for community life as much—
and sometimes more—than the average private citizen,

To Gen, C, V. R. Schulyer, Commissioner of the State}
Office of Gencral Services, who headed the state agency

drive, and to Joseph F. Feily, president of the Civil Service|

Employees Association and a member of the Albany Com-
munity Chest board, who encouraged his membership to go
over the top, we extend our congratulations in producing this
admirable reaction from Albany's civil service population.

that the promise of top salary
‘nm elght years does not pay
the bills today. He knows what
the abolition of merit in-
creases has done to incentive
and morale among city em-
Ployees, All these inequities
will receive my consideration,
and, after a complete review
of the program, I shall make
changes to correct these in-
equities,

I have recently recommend-
ed a health and hospltaliza-
tion program for city employ-
ees and pensioners which will
provide far-reaching benefits,
I believe that the freedom to
choose ® program which best
meets the requirements of
each individual employee is
® basio right and the addi-
tional benefits which will be
available to elty employees

are most significant,

There are many other con-
ditions of employment which
must be changed in fairness
the city worker, Consideration
must be given to the restora-
tion of free meals for employ~
ees of hospitals and other in-
stitutions, And the policy, Just
initiated on a limited scale, of
paying cash for overtime work
or any extra hours of work
must become a firm and est-
ablished right of benefit to all
city employees.

Under Section 220 of the
Labor Law, thousands upon
thousands of city employees
come under my sole jurisdic~
tion, I have always atempted
to give them the full protec-
tion of that law and I have
always exercised my jurisdic-
tion in the Interest of fairness
to the employees as well as
to the elty.

Let me cite my record of
performance.

Prior to my administration
as Comptroller, there was @
five-year backlog of hearings
to fix prevailing rates, because
only 126 hearings were oon-
ducted annually. I increased
the number of hearings to 400
® year, We caught up on the
backlog and have been current
for the past several years.

I initiated a policy of con-
ferences so that questions
could be resolved to the mu-
tual satisfaction of employees
and employer outside of the
hearing room, Settlements
and compromises were reach-
ed which did away with the
necessity of court actions,

At my Initiative, many titles
of employment, the forgotten
men of our city servants, were
brought under the jurisdiction
of Section 220 of the Labor
Law, by me. These included
foremen, laborers, twilight
titles and titles found in Part
38 of Civil Service. Now these
thousands of workers enjoy
the full benefits of prevailing
rates, They now have a re-
sponsible city official to whom
they can turn for improved
working conditions and sal-
aries commensurate with
those enjoyed by workers in
private industry,

City employees under my
Jurisdiction are now receiving
iInereased sick leave, terminal
leave, vacations and pension
benefits,

Employees have always had
open aocess to my office to alr
their grievances and disputes,

My labor record as Comp-
troller apeaks for itself and ts
proof that I do not make emp-
ty promises. My actions in
dealing with city employees
under my jurisdiction were
based on @ long career of
dealing with employees in my
own private business, I learned
in my private business that
® company is only as good as
the persons it employs, and
that its employees are hard-
working, conscientious and

Lefkowitz Backs

Elimination Of
‘Death Gamble’

1853 STATE ST.

eee

(Continued from Page 2)

Lefkowitz’ Stand
Lefkowitz wrote back to Mr.
Bendet saying:

I have your letter asking my
position on the enactment of
Legislation which will eliminate
the “retirement death gamble”
which civil service employees
must endure under existing law,

I already have made my po-
sition known. I am in favor of
the elimination of the “death
gamble” in pension operation.

As you say in your letter, the
teachers of the City of New York
were successful at the last .ses-
sion of the Legislature in se-
curing the elimination of the
“death gamble.” The signing of
this bill, which, as you know,
was opposed vigorously by May-
oy Wagn was due in some
measure to the support which I
gave It,

Throughout the years my
thoughts and my actions have
been predicated upon one basic
proposition = tfiat government

on every level needs and de-
serves employees of the highest
calibre, and, in even measure,
that government must set a
pattern a8 @ model employer
through concrete recognition of
the devotion of those who serve
it. There is no inconsistency be-
tween fiscal responsibility and
adequate compensation and pen-
sion rights for civil service em-
ployees.

The “death gamble” creates
® hardship for the employee and
his family, At the same time it
deprives government of the ser-
vices of experienced employees.
I firmly belleve it must be elimi-
nated.

New York 7, N, ¥,

I’m making a “Blue Chip” Investment...

...in Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Along with the Major Medical,
T'll get extra dividends for me and my family in the security
provided by the Statewide Plan.

T’ve just accepted a position as a feacher in my home town, Since
our School District offers the Statewide Plan, I wasted no time
applying for this protection. It didn’t take me long to realize that
through the combination of Blue Cross, Blue Shield and Major
Medical, I would get the most liberal benefits at the lowest possible
cost, I have learned, too, that the Statewide Plan is the only plan
that provides uniform coverage for all New York State employees,

active and retired.

There's also security in the knowledge that wherever I go, at home
or abroad, I will continue to have the same protection.

Is there any doubt why I regard this as a “Blue Chip” investment?
Take my word for it, it's the best. If you want a “good thing”, see
your Payroll or Personnel Officer now. Join the “Statewide Plan.”

ug to city employees fringe
thanks to a do-nothing admin-

Filteen years ago, New York City was @ pioneer
benefits such as hospital and medical care insurance. Toda
istration, New York City has fallen far behind, [¢ does not provide as much to its employees
as provided by New York State, or the Federal Goverament,

The situation is this: 200,000 municipal employees are given only one choice for # health
Insurance program—Health Insurance Plan (HEP). It is either HIP or nothing

Under the HIP plan, each subscriber receives care from the physician or surgeon as-
signed to him, Less than half of our city employees chose HIP. This leave some 110,000
without insurance coverage, for they did not want to forego the services of their own
doctors,

The city's policy is one of either “teke It or leave it.” So we have another case in
which the Wagner administration has blatantly igaored the wellare of the city employees.
Although on several occasions in the past, Mayor Wagaer has promised that he would pro-
vide a “free choice of plan,” this is just another promise to add to the long, long list of
Wagner Promises and No Performance, Another case of “de nothingixm,”

We need action on this frout, I am strougly in favor of giving all city employees @
choice of three plans

(1) Health Insurance Plan,
(2) A combination of Blue Cross, Blue Shield and Major Medical
(3) A plan proposed by several private compacics.

who wish to continue under the care

This freedom of choice would enable employee
of their doctors te do

I firmly believe this the only truly fair policy, Aa Mayor, t would immediately under-
take such reorganization of the city’s health tayarance progeam

Harry W. Langworthy, chair-
man of the committee, told dele-
gates to the recent annual meeting
of the OSEA in Albany that:

“This committee was appointed
this summer to give consideration
to the complaints against oral ex-
aminations, the validity of such
examinations and the problems in-
volved in the use of oral examina-
tions in filling civil service posi- |
tions. |

“As @ result of our one meeting
on September 26th, we agree that |
oral examinations may have a
proper place as a useful testing
device. We do not yet have suffi-
clent data or observations to make
recommendations as to what that
proper place should be in the es-
tablishment of lista for appoint-
ment to positions,

Cites Weaknesses

“We feel the following claimed
weaknesses of the oral examina-
tions program warrant detailed
study of the whole area of oral
examinations;

1. Oral examinations as con~-
ducted seem to be a crude
testing device, diMoult or
impossible to evaluate.
Oral examinations seem to
lack validity in comparison
with work performance of
those tested.

Many oral examiners are
not qualified to make the
Judgments the oral examin-
inations procedures require
of them,

Oral examinations are too
brief in relation to their im-
Portance in determining the
future of candidates being
examined.

Oral examinations are con-
ducted In a forced, artificial |
and formal situation highly |
conducive to emotional
stress affecting the ability
of candidates to perform
up to their capabilities.

attached to the right of promoted
employees to be paid moving ex-

penses.
93. Re-evaluate and appraise
CSEA group life insurance, A

comprehensive resolution was adop-
ted which summarized provides
that the Association re-evaluate
and reappraise {ts group life In-
surance program, and solicit bids
from qualified insurers, the re-
sults of which shall be reported to
the delegates at their next meet-|
ing to be held in 1962, and these
recommendations incorporate ex-
ploration of the possibility of m
paid-up policy upon retirement,
(Conclusion)

“This committee is to have the
benefit of a report of an informal
discussion held between members
of the Assoolation staff. the Civil
Service Commission and its staff.
At this meeting, a preliminary dis- |
cussion took place of some of the

| problems relative to the procedures

for conduoting oral examinations,
appeals from oral examinations,
selection of examiners and the|
like,

“In planning the studies neces- |
sary to enable us to make definite
recommendations, the Civil Ser-
vice Commission and the staff of
the Civil Service Department un-
der William J, Murray have grac-

fously made thelr resources avall-
able to us, We will have opportun-
ity to observe oral examinations
and discuss all aspects of the oral
examinations procedure with the
ff. We have been assured of
all possible cooperation in any way
that will further our studies,
Arrangements are being made
for the full committee to spend a
day this fali in the Civil Service
Department observing and asking
questions and collecting informa-
tion.

“We plan to hold frequent meet~
ings in an attempt to formulate
specific recommendations for your
consideration.

‘End Delay In
Upping Mileage
Rates,’ Says CSEA

(Continued from Page 1)

“The Association has furnished
the Director of the Budget data
showing estimates by survey
groups that break-even points in
car operations are at figures much
higher than the allowance now
given by New York State,

Mr, Feily’s letter said:

“At the annual meeting of the
Civil Service Employees’ Associa~
tion the question was raised as to
why is that our efforts have been
unavailing with respect to increas-
ing the mileage allowance from
the present 8¢ figure,

Cites Federal Change

“It is conceded by all who have
any knowledge of the situation
that the allowance of eight cents
per mile Is not only unreasonable
but that it Js wholly inadequate to
compensate employees who use
their own vehicles for transporta-
tion. You have all of our studies
which show beyond question that
private industry and indeed the
Federal government have long
sincs departed from the 8¢ figure.
Each day that goes by that the
state fails to amend this figure
costa state employees money out
of their own pockets.

“We respectfully request that the
Budget Director take immediate
action in this area, I feel that I
would not be fulfilling my obliga-
tlon as president of the Associa-
tion if I did not reflect the con-
cern that the delegates showed at
the inability of our Association to
satisfactorily conclude our discus-
sions with the state in this vital
area,”
