MANHATTAN — Pam Meiners is
warm and outgoing, and has an easy,
relaxed manner. But one senses tur-
moi] just below the surface. She has
been at Daytop Village here—a
private drug rehabilitation facility—
for 13 months. Pam is the mother of
two little boys, aged six and four.
If they close Daytop now, she is one
of many who may have to go back
to jail or return to the streets.

Pam is one of thousands of young,

DRUG ADDICTS: Where Do They Go Now?

intelligent people that, unaware or
uncaring of the consequences, en-
tered the drug subculture. Some
were victims of their environment,
growing up in poverty where they

. felt there was nothing to look for-

ward to. Some were affluent and
part of the drug scene of the 1960's,
when it was the “in” thing to do.

Monsignor William O’Brien, presi-
dent of Daytop Village, feels that
his generation was the victim of the
Depression. As parents, they wanted

to shield their children from the
stresses and difficulties of life. The
monsignor said, “As a result, we
have young people coming to us who
are emotionally eight year olds, with
the bodies of 19- or 25-year-olds.
“They are totally unprepared and
unable to cope with the tensions, re-
sponsibilities and realities of every-
day life. So they turn to drugs. Here
we teach them to grow up.”

Columbia
Teetering

On Strike

HUDSON—In an effort to
avert a strike by Columbia
County employees, the Board
of Supervisors here set a
legislative hearing for May 4.

At the hearing, held after
Leader presstime, Civil Service
Employees Assn. collective bar-
gaining specialist Nels Carlson
testified on behalf of the 400
members of CSEA’s Columbia
chapter 811.

Employees have been without
& contract since the beginning of
the year.

‘The situation worsened last
month, though, when the state
fact-finder's report was rejected
by Samuel Simmons, chairman
of the County Board.

The fact-finder had recom-
mended a 7 percent raise for em-
ployees, but Mr. Simmons con-
tinued to press for @ salary
freeze.

Nursing Home, East Syracuse, celebrated her 110th birthday on April
8, “Grandma” Begley, as she is known to her friends, was born in
1866 in Brooklyn. Her family moved to Oswego when she was a

Gallagher, and niece Edith Bidwell, formerly of Central Square, and
now residing at the Sunnyside adult home.

6-Year Grievance Against Thruway Authority

Win Back

ALBANY—Fourteen main-

tenance employees of the
New York State Thruway
Authority have received

checks for back pay, plus inter-
est, totaling almost $10,000 based
on a grievance begun six years
ago by the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn.

The case had been held up in
courts for years after the Thru-
way Authority challenged an
arbitrator's decision in favor of
CSEA and the employees that
they were eligible for the back
pay,

A State Appellate Division
court recently upheld CSEA's
position and in mid-April, the
Thruway Authority mailed out
the back-pay checks, It was a
costly decision for the Authority,

since the decision also involved
payment of 6 percent interest
on the back pay due in addition
to the pay itself

in CSEA's favor, but the Thru-
way took the decision to court.
causing a delay of more than six
years until the Appellate Court's

The case developed Oct. 1, 1969, recent decision upholding the
when the Thruway Authority union

moved its headquarters garage (Continued on Page 3)
from Elsmere to the present

Route 9-W garage location.

‘The 14 maintenance people in-
volved were required to work an
additional one-half hour per day
from Oct, 1, 1969, until July 15,
1970, when a new collective con-
tract was negotiated by CSEA
covering the Thruway employees.
CSEA filed a grievance on behalf
of the affected employees, claim-
ing that they were due two and
one-half hours of overtime pay
per week from Oct, 1, 1969, to

Wenzl ToSolons:

ODAS,
$ Cuts

(Special to The Leader
ALBANY—The president of the Civil Service Employees
Assn., the union representing approximately 2,100 employees
in the state's Office of Drug Abuse Services, has sent a
written plea to all state legislators to restore $38 million

that has been cut from the
agency's 1976 budget.

ODAS, which trains and re-
habilitates drug addicts, will
have to ly off 1,100 workers if
the $38 million is not restored.
The CSEA chief, Theodore C.
Wenzl, expressed concern not
only for the employees, but also
for the clients of ODAS and for
all the citizens of the state.

“Believe it or not, ODAS turns
unemployed drug addicts, some
of whom live on violent crime,
into productive, tax-paying citi-
zens,” he wrote.

‘Its rehabilitation and train-
ing programs have produced col-
lege graduates and responsible
working people whose future,
without ODAS, would have been
a vicious cycle of drugs, crime
and jail—all at public expense.”

It is expected that the state's
supplemental budget — the last
chance for the Legislature to re-
store the ODAS funds—will
come up for a vote some time
this month.

Security Pact ‘A Total Sellout’

ALBANY—A high-ranking Civil Service Employees Assn. official branded the newly
negotiated agreement between the American Federation of State, County and Municipal
Employees and the State for some 9,000 employees in the Security Bargaining Unit “out-
rageously deficient” and “a total sellout at the expense of the employees involved.”

MINEOLA—"“Layoffs are not the answer.”

That was the message delivered to Nassau County officials by Irving Flaumenbaum,
president of the Nassau chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn., and that was the stand
formally adopted last week by the bi-partisan county Board of Supervisors.

‘The supervisors ruled out lay-
offs as a solution to the budget
crisis despite the refusal of the
county’s Democratic legislative
delegation to permit a vote on
the county's request for an ad-
ditional one percent sales tax.

Earlier, County Executive
Ralph Orso had threatened 2,000
layoffs if he did not get the
taxing power to meet a deficit
that he estimated at $22 million.

Mr. Flaumenbaum had at-
tempted to break a deadlock be-
tween the county officials and
the Democratic state legislators
by arranging an unprecedented
face-to-face meeting the week
before. This led to the creation
of @ subcommittee charged with
examining the budget and rec-
ommending solutions.

When the subcommittee itself
moved to deadlock, with the bi-
partisan delegation from the
board still favoring the tax and
the Democratic legislators still
opposed, Mr. Filaumenbaum
broke open the layoff threat.

He claimed that layoffs could
not save any money. Mr. Flau-
menbaum announced that be-
cause the county {s self-insured
for unemployment benefits, it
would have to reimburse the
state for 100 percent of any un-
employment benefits paid to laid
off workers.

The unemployment benefits
were estimated at $10 million if
2,000 employees were laid off.

In addition, Mr. Flaumenbaum
revealed that the county would
lose $7 million in federal and
state reimbursement for pro-
grams that would be terminated
or reduced.

Another $3 to $5 million would
go to the employees in termina-
tion benefits,

“Total, $20 million to $22 mil-
lion, Net savings zero," said Mr.
Plaumenbaum.

Tt was this data that moved
the supervisors to rule that lay-
offs were no solution.

‘The Democratic legislators had
vaguely recommended “econo-
mies” and layoffs of “non-essen-
tial” employees. They did not
define “non-essential.”

At week's end, Mr, Caso and
Assemblyman Joseph Margiotta
(R-Uniondale) were trying to
persuade the Democratic legis-
lators to reconsider,

Tt was reported that Mr. Mari-
otta was using his power as a
senior legislator to bottle up
bills providing financial assist-
‘ance to cities——most of them
Democratic controlled—until the
Nassau tax is approved.

While layoffs were ruled out,
according to the supervisors, the
ultimate solutions to the budget
gap remained unclear, Mr. Flau-
menbaum declared that “If any
layoffs do occur, and there ts no
movement to alleviate the situa-
tion, action will be taken,”

John M. Carey, CSEA’s assis-

executive director of AFSCME's
Council 82, which negotiated the
new agreement, with “deliberate-
ly distorting the settlement by
millions of dollars in the public
press in an obvious effort to con-
vince the AFSCME employees to
accept an agreement that is,
without a doubt, the worst set-
tlement ever agreed to at the
state level in history.”

Mr. Carey, who had a major
administrative role in CSEA’s re-
cently completed negotiations
with the State for CSEA-repre-
sented workers in four major
bargaining units, said APSCME’s
new agreement, subject to mem-
bership ratification, “is terribly
deficient in nearly every area
compared to the agreement ne-
gotiated by CSEA.

“AFSCME is well-known as a
me-too union, usually accepting
carbon-copy contracts after CSEA
has done all the hard bargaining
and won all that could be
achieved, But in this instance,
AFSCME was unable to achieve

Mr. Carey pointed out that
while CSEA won guaranteed in-

crements guaranteed for this

in pay and no guarantee they
will ever get any pay increase.’

The CSEA assistant executive
director noted that “CSEA nego-
tiated truly important job pro-
tection improvements for our
people, but AFSCME in truth
got nothing for their people in
terms of real job security. CSEA

labor class and non-competitive
employees subject to layoffs, but
AFSCME got nothing. While
CSEA negotiated for a special
committee, funded at $1 million
to study layoffs and job protec-
tion, AFSCME was only able to
get contract reference to an un-
funded committee with basically
undefined goals and authority.”

Mr. Carey went on to chal-
lenge AFSCME’s claim to pre-
venting 400 layoffs in the Office
of Drug Abuse Services.

“CSEA negotiated the require-
ment for a six-month notifica-
tion on layoffs as the result of
closing down agencies or facill-
ties, AFSCME merely tagged
along and took the same provi-
sion already negotiated by CSEA,
thus in actuality extending for
six months the 400 layoffs they

AFSCME—are trying to claim
have been prevented. CSEA was
responsible for getting at least
a six-month extension for over
1,200 in ODAS long before AF-
SCME said ‘me-too’ to extend the
additional 400 people they repre-
sent in ODAS,” Mr. Carey stated.

Mr. Carey, noting that Mr.
Gray claimed in the public press
that their settlement represented
@ $10 million package, labeled
that claim “a lie, and a thinly
yelled attempt to pull the wool
over their own members’ eyes.”

Mr. Carey said the State's own
figures place the package costs
at $1.3 million in increments and
$378,000 in insurance costs, for
‘@ total of $1,678,000.

“It appears that Mr. Gray real-
ized what a rotten contract he
and his people had negotiated,
and had to try to distort its
contents many times over in an
effort to sell this mess to their
members,"

Mr, Carey noted that “this is
the same union (APSCME) that
recently tried so hard to trick
CSEA members into a costly
merger on the grounds of su-
perior ability.” He said that since
AFSCME has threatened to chal-
Jenge CSEA in representation
elections across the state in
coming months, “it is important
for every CSEA-represented em-
ployee to realize that AFSCME
negotiated a really terrible con-
tract and in doing so demonstra-
ted that it cannot do the job it
claims it ean, I hope everyone
will keep that in mind if the
time ever does come when CSEA
meets AFSCME in a represen-
tation election anywhere in this
state.”

Legislature Will Decide
On Rensselaer Pact Fate

TROY—One hundred members of the Rensselaer County
chapter, Civil Service Employees Assn., surrounded the
Rensselaer County Legislature last week as the CSEA chap-

ter and a county negotiator
legislative hearing to resolve a
contract dispute after seven
months of negotiations had
placed both sides at extreme op-
posite positions.

County unit president Joseph
Lazarony noted the Rensselaer
Legislature has appeared sincere
in efforts to settle the dispute
with fairness.

The CSEA presentation con-
tinued with Nels Carlson, CSEA
collective bargaining specialist,
presenting the five points the
CSEA considers to be necessary
to resolve the contract dispute.

The five areas include a $650
across-the-board increase to
compensate for inflation; a sal-
ary schedule which would im-
prove the functioning of the
county; an improvement in the
Health Insurance coverage to
1€0,80, to adequately protect the
County employees; retention of
the existing past practice clause
in the contract, and overtime for
all employees.

The county
cannot accept
sues, but of!
the-board no salary
schedule at this time; continua-
tion of the old insurance cov-
en:ge of 80/70; elimination of
the past practice clause, leaving

Attack L.I. Workers’ Seniority Loss

HAUPPAUGE—“It may be
legally correct, but it is mor-
ally wrong.”

With those words, repre-
tatives of former Long Island
State Park Commission em-
ployees who have been transferred
into the Department have open-
ed a campaign against a state
ruling that puts transferees on
the bottom on the seniority list.

Men with up to 30 years on
the job find themselves on the
bottom of the totem pole with
regard to vacations and over-
time as a result.

‘The situation was exposed by
Daniel Sullivan, the Region 10
Department of Transportation,
Civil Service Employees Assn.
chapter representative for the
former park commission em-
ployees.

Mr. Sullivan noted that similar
treatment may be accorded other
employees upstate.

‘The first effect hit only five
of 85 employees who maintain
the Long Island State parkways.
‘The group was shifted by state
order from the commission to
DOT last October. This month,
Mr. Sullivan reported, five men
assigned to the DOT maintenance
shop in Central Islip learned that
they got last choice on the vaca-
tion schedule, The other 80 men

are assigned to a new, separate
DOT residency and maintained
their relative seniority within
that group.

However, Mr. Sullivan said
CSEA has Jearned authoritatively
that the separate residency will
be dissolved next March.

Mr. Sullivan is calling for sup-
port throughout CSEA for strong
contract language. to be negoti-
ated in the next contract to pro-

2 Work-Week Grievances ,
Won By Newburgh Clerks

NEWBURGH — The Civil

Service Employees Assn. has

won an arbitration decision that requires the City of New-
burgh to immediately re-establish a Monday through Friday
work week for two clerk-typists in the records bureau of the

Newburgh City Police Depart-
ment. The city had required
them to work a split weekend
tour of duty.

CSEA had filed a contract
grievance on behalf of Rose
Gottbetter and Denise Lease
when the city changed thelr
normal Monday through Friday
work week to Sunday through
Thursday for Ms. Gottbetter and
Tuesday through Saturday for
Ms. Lease.

Arbitrator Daniel G. Collins, in
his decision, agreed with CSEA’s
claims on behalf of the two
typists that the city’s action
lated the work week-work day
article and the conformity with
law or practice urticle of the
contract between CSEA and the
City of Newburgh. The arbitra-
tor ruled that the Monday-Fri-
day work week is a condition of
employment under the pact.

Game Of Chance

LTHOUGH gambling is officially illegal in New York

State (other than the state lottery), the Legislature is
currently debating a new game of chance for the public.

Instead of “big winnings,” though, the person who is
“it” gets to pay.

The rules are quite simple:

First, you close the various drug facilities— whether
they*be privately funded places like Daytop, Phoenix House
or Odyssey House or the 15 state facilities administered by
the Office of Drug Abuse Services.

Then you turn the addicts back on the streets.

Next, whenever possible, you reduce the size of the
police forces in order to heighten the excitement of the
game, (Remember when crime in the streets was considered
a major issue, and New York City Mayor John V. Lindsay
fought for the Fourth Platoon system to provide increased
protection during high-crime periods?)

Now the real fun can begin. Instead of everyone sharing
some part of the burden for supporting the various drug
treatment centers, we play a game similar to Russian
roulette,

Senior citizens have a better chance of being “it” in
this game, but other people have good opportunities to
participate also. What you do is keep count of how many
times you can go out on the streets alone before you get
hit. You get more points if you are actually mugged than
you do if your home or apartment is burglarized while you
are gone,

In time, of course, you will have less need to go out
in the evening, since stores will start closing up earlier, be-
cause of lack of business from customers and too much
from hold-ups.

So regardless of how you feel about the people who are
caught in the web of drug addiction, you will have a chance
to pay part of the penalty in an all-or-nothing-at-all game
of chance.

Who will be the first to be taken?

Security Pact

HILE state employees in the four large bargaining units
were making the agonizing decision on whether to
accept the agreement of understanding negotiated for them
by the State Administration and the Civil Service Employees
Assn., spokesmen for a rival union spewed forth criticism.
Now that rival organization, the American Federation
of State, County and Municipal Employees, has settled for
contract provisions that fall short of those won by CSEA.
In the agreement announced last week for the Security
Unit, smallest of the five statewide bargaining units, it
became evident that AFSCME's efforts to interfere with
CSEA negotiations will come back to haunt them,

CSEA, which had listened patiently to AFSCME's offers
of a merger before CSEA delegates turned down the proposal
at their statewide meeting in March, can now have the
last laugh.

Instead of showing up CSEA in AFSCME’s vow to
challenge for representation rights, the Security Unit con-
tract has proved to be only an echo,

CSEA members must be congratulating themselves on
the dues money they saved by deciding to remain indepen-

dent—the third largest independent union in the United
States as a matter of fact,

faced with a highly sensitive
problem relating to adopted
persons. Under existing law, all
court records relating to adop-
tion proceedings are under seal,
and not available for inspection
by either the public or by the
persons who have been adopted

Senator Pisan! is chairman of
the Temporary State Commis-
sion on Child Welfare and As-
semblyman Gottfried is chair-
man of the Assembly Standing
Committee on Child Care. What
is specifically pending before
both of those committees is a
bill sponsored by Senator Albert
B. Lewis, Brooklyn Democrat,
which would amend the law to
permit adopted persons, upon
reaching the age of 18, access to
those records.

Emotional Issue

This is a highly emotional is-
sue that pits adopted persons
against social service agencies
that arrange for udoptions. This
issue has arisen largely during
the past several years, when
seemingly substantial numbers
of adopted persons have become
more insistent in their search for
more information about their
biological parents.

All of us have an abiding sense
of immortality, We know our
parents, grandparents and some-
times our great-grandparents.
Subconsciously we know that
something living within us has
been a living thing since the be-
ginning of time. Somehow, we
also have an abiding faith that
something within us will remain
‘alive in our offspring from gen-
eration to generation until the
end of time,

This biological stream 1s lost
for adopted children, who must
go through life knowing nothing
about their biological parents.
The impulse for this informa-
tion by many such udopted per-
sons ts not just a matter of bio-
togical curiosity, Essentially, it
represents for these people a
search for identity.

In an equally intense way, the
social work agencies are opposed
to making the adoptive court
files available to adopted per-
sons. In their opinion, these
people ure much better off not
knowing about their heritage,
because in some cases the par-
ental background may be on the
sordid side. They are concerned
also about possible confrontation
between adopted persons and
their natural parents or siblings
who may not have been surren-
dered for udoption.

Question Of Privacy

‘The adoption agencies also in-
sist that the mothers who sur-
rendered their children for adop-
tion are entitled to privacy with
respect to this matter, They ex-
press the fear that destruction
of this right to privacy may
create @ situation in which
mothers will prefer to abandon
their children rather than turn
them over for adoption to a rec-
ognized adoption agency. On the
other hand, the adoption agen-
cles do concede that health situ-
ations might arise, in which it
would be of vast significance for
the adopted person's medical
welfare to have detailed infor-
mation about the medical his-
tory of the natural parents.

Curiously enough, and perhaps
by coincidence, the law sealing
all adoption records was enacted
during the administration of
Gov. Herbert H, Lehman, who

By RICHARD GABA

Mr. Gaba is a member of the firm of White, Walsh and Gaba,
P.C., and chairman of the Nassau County Bar Association Labor

Law Committee,
Three NYC Cases

A New York City policeman was brought up on depart-
mental charges for allegedly misappropriating a total of $45
in four separate incidents which took place in his off-duty
job as a bank teller. Following the departmental trial, the@®
officer was found guilty and dismissed from the police force.
An appeal was taken pursuant to Article 78 of the Civil
Practice Law and Rules which resulted in an affirmance
of the dismissal.

THERE WAS A DISSENT by one justice who pointed
out that the police officer had “an admirable record in
the department without any prior complaints against him.”
The dissenting judge said that the evidence was circum-
stantial and barely supported the charges, There were small
discrepancies between the amounts deposited by the bank’s
customers and the amounts credited to their accounts. The!
judge said that the penalty of dismissal was so dispropor-
tionate to the offense, in the light of all the circumstances,
as to be shocking to one’s sense of fairness. The judge
recommended a six-month suspension without pay, pointing
out that such a penalty was adequate to achieve the aim
of discipline for petitioner’s shortcomings, “totally unrelated
to his police work.” The majority voted to affirm the dis-
missal, citing Matter of Pell, 34 N.Y. 2d 222. Matter of Miller
v. Codd, 49 A.D. 2d 546(4).

ae

A FORMER EMPLOYEE of the City of New York sued®
to recover monetary benefits which plaintiff allegedly
earned while he was working for the City as a sanitation
worker. He worked for approximately 10 years. After four
years, he was injured on the job and remained out of work
for six months. He came back on “light duty” and finally
was involuntarily retired for accidental disability some six
years after his accident. The plaintiff did not apply for
retirement. The application was filed by the Sanitation
Commissioner, Since plaintiff was notified just prior to his
retirement date, he did not have a chance to use up his
vacation time, terminal leave time, and unscheduled holi-@
day time prior to his actual retirement. The plaintiff was
covered by a collective bargaining agreement between the
City of New York and the Union representing sanitation-
men. There was no provision in the agreement providing for
cash payment for unused time, The court in Special Term
agreed with plaintiff that he was entitled to the money
because the City did not give him sufficient time to use up
his accrued time prior to retirement. Although the law per-
mits cash payments to be made in lieu of unused accrued
time, there was no contractual provision mandating such
payment. Accordingly, on appeal, the Appellate Division heldg
that the plaintiff was not entitled to any cash payment.

RETIREMENT
NEWS & FACTS

By A, L. PETERS
NYC Retirees

Four hundred and ninety-one
city employees filed applications
for retirement last month. Of
these, 183 filed without option;
74 filed under Option 1; 31 un-
der Option 2; 57 under Option 3;
45 under Option 4; eight under
Option 4-2, and 21 under Option
4-3. Forty-six applications in-
volved disabilities. Of these, 24
were cases of ordinary disability;
12 were cases of accident disa-
bility; and seven were revisions
of accident disability.

Last year 7,600 New York City
employees retired. This compares
with 5,038 in 1974, and 5,480 in
1973.

There is much ado about un-
derfunding Pension Funds, par-
ticularly in the light of recent
purchases of city and state bonds.
Some enlightenment on the phil-
osophy of this is given in the
“Shinn Report” in Mayor's Man-
agement Advisory Board:

“By its very nature, this means
that during this 40 year period
of amortization the plan will
show an unfunded accrued liabil-
ity. Accordingly, if contributions
are made in accordance with cost
estimates based on realistic as-
sumptions, there is in fact no
underfunding for a continuing
plan. As shown in Table A-7
the ratio of assets to the ac-
crued liability shows that for con-
tinuing plans both in govern-
ment and private industry there
is in fact a wide range of un-
funded accrued liability.

“If the new actuarial assump-
tions and funding method are ac-
cepted, and if the level of the
City’s contribution is increased
by approximately 16 percent then
in the view of the Board, the
City would be meeting its obli-
gations on a realistic basis and
would be appropriately funded.

“However, in the light of the
major changes in actuarial as-
sumptions and funding method
being suggested, the Pension
Task Force has recommended

It is not certain whether the
Legislature will take action on
Senator Lewis’ bill this year. But
it ts an issue that will not be
easily swept under the rug. The
fact is that groups of adopted
persons have been organized,
and they will continue to press
the Legislature for affirmative
action

Many of them have written
searing experiences ubout the
search for their identities
through the growing body of lit-
erature on this subject, increas-

OPINIONS

Solomon Doley 3rd, counselor, Division for Youth:
“I think there should be a resi-

"4 dency requirement. That's one

of the reasons that so much

money is being lost, If I can

move to wherever and make

all my money here, when is the

| money going to come back to

more concerned with who the

I think {t would create a much greater interest in

the city as a community, It would also create more

jobs for the people that do live here. But this law

will not be passed because those with the money

don't want it and that’s where the power is. Most

of them live outside the city and they contro] the
city.”

A. Dedely, mechanic foreman, Board of Education:
“I feel there should definitely
be a residency requirement for
civil service workers. They
should pay thelr taxes to New
York City just like everyone
else. The more money that
comes in the better it will be
for everybody, You work here,
pay your rent here. It's as
plain as that. We have a lot
of these diehards that get a
job here and then move out of

the state altogether. I just don't see it.”

Julius Nedboy, retired, Department of Corrections:
“I believe especially that civil
—_— service employees should live
« in the city, They earn their
money here and the money that
they earn should be kept here,
When I worked for civil service
I always lived in the city and
I felt that the people who
moved out weren't doing the
city any justice, I believe that
when people move out of the
city their thoughts are no long-
er with the city, but rather with the communities
they do live in. It's not helping New York City or
the people who live here.”

talance of power, Between the politicians and the
gangsters, each is trying to steal as much as he
can, elther for himself of his constituents.”

Eureal Jackson, high school teacher: “Normally I
would say that an individual
should be free to live wherever
he wants to. In the case of a
civil service employee, however,
T feel that the individual should
have financial input and an
investment in the city and
should be required to live where
he works. If people had their
children in school here and
had to worry about living with
garbage in the street it would
certainly create a much greater interest in New
York City as a community

Miriam Weiss, personnel dept., Board of Educa-
tion: “I think there's merit to
both sides of the situation.
Since Civil Service is a merit
system and you really want to

I don't think it would be such
a good idea to exclude those

Above: “When 1 finish the program I'd like to work on
staff upstate or maybe in the legal department here.
I guess because of my own personal problems with the
law I'm very sympathetic to those people that are in
jail on drug charges, I feel so many of them are there
because they just don't know themselves.”

Left; “I was looking at the people down there doing their
own thing and thinking that’s my reality. That's what
I have to do—get out there and rejoin society. I'm be-
coming more prepared for it every day.”

Below Left: “Every day you fight for the same inch. Every
day for the rest of your life you're going to have to fight
just as hard as you're fighting right now. It never stops.”

Below Right: “We have to face the truth. There are group
encounters where you can't b-s ‘cause we all shot dope.
We know our tendencies and know how to get around
things. If you're sitting in a group trying to lie, you're
talking to a guy who did the same thing as you and
you're only fooling yourself.”

young — some are hooked at 12
years of age or younger—or who
have received jail sentences are
usually sent to state rehabilitation
centers maintained by the Office of
Drug Abuse Services which are run
more like correctional institutions in
that the residents are not free to
come and go freely.

Although at least one-third come
of their own volition, most are re-
manded as a direct result of a felony
or misdemeanor. There they receive
counseling, psychotherapy, educa-
tion, vocational training as well as
programs in art, recreation and out-
side participation in cultural and
sports events.

The state plans to eliminate about
80 percent of the ODAS rehabilita-
tion facilities by October, a reduc-
tion from 15 to three centers. The
private programs will be cut more
than 40 percent, which will mean
the closing of many of their treat-
ment centers, both residential and
outpatient.

Three weeks ago, for eight days
and seven nights, residents and staff
members from six private institu-
tions demonstrated outside of Gracie
Mansion. Mayor Beame, apparently
moved during a visit to the demon-
stration site, promised to do every-
thing within his power to help “The
City of the Forgotten,” the name
they have given themselves.

“Demanding work is one of the principles on which our
program operates. This is the first time I'm a part of
& positive cause. I enjoy what I'm doing. It's part of
& community effort. Every day is a step forward.”

Pr Rehabilitation Facilities

One sensed an unusual camara-
derie, spirit and quiet concern
among these residents. They con-
sider themselves an extended family.

If these facilities are shut down,
where will they go?

Many are young people who have
no family, or families who don’t
want them, no jobs, no places to
live and have not yet acquired the
emotional resources to make it on
the outside

According to Giles Spoonhour, a
counselor at ODAS' Brooklyn center,
“They'll be back in the streets in no
time, feeling more abandoned than
ever. It cost an addict $200 to $300
a day in stolen goods to support a
$100-a-day habit.

Women usually turn to prostitu-
tion. Many will die.

“Illegal heroin has never been as
easily available in New York City
and throughout the rest of the
country since 1971. We also find
more and more addicts hooked on a
combination of drugs such as bar-
biturates with speed and methodone
and alcohol,” Mr. Spoonhour said.
Medical authorities feel the greatest
lethal effect in overdose comes from
combining different drugs.

Authoritative sources agree that
the return of the convalescing ad-
dict to the street will cause a serious
increase in crime and related dis-
orders at a time when there is less
police protection than ever through-
out New York City and State.

“We're on the same team. Lunch is a high point in
the day. We look forward to talking, rapping about
things that are on our minds. Friendship is an im-
portant part of what gets us through.”

“Eight days and seven nights. What's it like to sleep in
25-degree weather with just a blanket? Are you kidding?
‘The years I was out there hustling I slept on the street
every night, with no blanket, no friends, no one who

cared, in zero degree weather. And all I could think about
was a fix. This is the most meaningful thing I've ever

“People of all backgrounds turn to
drugs. Some are doctors and lawyers,
others have never gotten more than
an eighth-grade education,” says
Charles Devlin, administrator of
Daytop Village, himself a former
addict.

“It hits all socio-economic groups.
Throwing someone into jail for a few
years is never going to solve the
emotional complexities or peer pres-
sures that cause one to turn to drugs
as a way of avoiding realities.”

It is true that because of the se-
vere economic crisis in New York
City and State, budget cuts must be
made. Some cutbacks pose tempor-
ary problems. Others might of their
very nature cause terminal prob-
lems, to which the drug rehabilita-
tors address themselves.

Who can say what order of prior-
ity should be made?

“Induction is a shock. What you're faced
with is real and you've been escaping for
so long. It's frightening to see where you
are at your age and what you've gotten
out of life, realizing that it’s been such

Flynn ‘COLA’ Bill

ALBANY—Retiree members of the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn. have pledged to support a bill by State Senator
John E. Flynn (R-C, Bronx-Westchester), to supplement

cost-of-living increases.

Nellie Davis, who chairs the
CSEA statewide retirees commit-
tee, reported at the recent
CSEA convention at Kiamesha
Lake that “Senator Flynn's bill,
as amended this year, comes
closest to our own legislative
goal.”

The bill (S-270A), and its
companion Assembly bill (1326A),
would provide a supplemental in-
crease to all retirees from public
service who attained the age
of 62. The sponsor of the bill in
the Assembly is Steven Greco
(D-C, Erte)

The increase, based on the
previous 12 months’ consumer
price index, would be a percent-
age of the first $8,000 of retire-
ment income, with a maximum
of 3 percent.

The bill would apply to all
public employees who have re-
tired at least one year prior to
June 1

CSEA retiree members are also
pushing hard for the passage of
another bill sponsored by Mr.
Greco and Mr. Flynn. This bill
would provide a survivor's bene-
fit of $2,000 to former state em-
ployees who retired before Oct. 1
1966. Currently, only state em-
ployees who retired on or since
that date are entitled to this
survivor's benefit. Those state
employees who retired since 1970
are entitled to a $3,000 benefit
for their beneficiaries.

The retirees also have a fed-
eral bill (HR 1584) on their high-
priority Ust for 1976. This bill
would allow a federal tox ex-
emption on the first $5,000 of
retirement income for citizens
65 years old or over.

The sponsor of the bill, Con-
gressman Richard Ashbrook (R-
C, Ohio) recently assured CSEA
retiree coordinator Thomas Gil-
martin that the bill is alive in

the House Ways and Means
Committee.
“Retired people everywhere

should flood that committee with
mail in order to get this much-
needed legislation on its way,”
Mr. Gilmartin said.

CSEA's legislative and political
action committee is organizing a

campaign in support of these
bills, according to chairman Mar-
tin Langer. Presidents of all 14
CSEA retiree chapters are be-
ginning a drive to have their
members contact their legislators.

URGES POLITICAL ACTION — Arvis Chalmers, right, Albany political reporter for the
Knickerbocker News, told a meeting of the Capital District Retirees chapter, Civil Service Employees

Assn.,

that retirees must marshall all political strength possible to compensate for years of legisla~

tive neglect. Mr, Chalmers noted that he feels retirees are sometimes overly reluctant to get involved
as individuals in matters of. concern to themselves. Legislators do pay attention to their mail, he sald,
and urged the chapter members to write their senators and assemblymen to draw attention to the
fact that those who retired since 1968 have not received any cost-of-living adjustments in their pen-
sions and that those who retired before Oct, 1, 1966, do not get the survivors’ benefits that all other State

employees receive.

MORE RN RESPONSIBILITY

Gov. Hugh L. Carey has proposed legislation that would expand
the scope of nursing practice and permit nurses to assume more
responsibility in diagnosis and treatment of patients. The measure
would require the State Board of Regents and the Commissioner of
Education to consider certain principles in the regulation of nursing
Practices. These include the evolution of healing arts and the
developments in health care delivery; the need for the service and
the nursing profession to perform it, (and the knowledge and ability
of the nursing and medical professions.

FEDERAL $ TO EDUCATION DEPT.

Federal funds will be used to retain most of the employees in the
State Department of Education whose jobs were abolished by budget
cuts. Cut dollar amounts were $400,000 in the Education Department,
$250,000 in administrative positions and $150,000 in support person-
nel, Executive Deputy Commissioner Gordon M. Ambach said the
federal grants have already been approved or are currently being
negotiated.

DEL BELLO EXPLAINS VETO

Westchester County Executive Alfred B. DelBello told the county
legislature he vetoed an act which would spend $200,000 for an
expanded summer youth work program because “I cannot justify the
firing of the parent to hire the child. This year Westchester County
faced staggering increases in mandated welfare costs which neces-
sitated the laying off of county employees, freezing vacant job lines
and, in some cases, eliminating offices and programs." Mr. DelBello
said that if his veto was overridden, his administration would be
forced to make cuts in other areas of the budget including further
layoffs.

MAIL DELIVERIES

State workers in some Albany state agencies may have to assume
mail sorting and delivery jobs now performed by U.S. Postal Service
employees. The Postal Service has cut back on sorting and delivery
of mail at the Albany South Mall and State Campus offices in what
it termed an “increased efficiency” program. However, an official of
the inter-agency transportation services of the Office of General
Services stated the reduction is the result of cutbacks at the federal
level. Effective May 1, only offices that receive 1,500 pleces of mail
or more a day will have their own zip codes and have mail sorted
by postmen,

WORKLOADS TO INCREASE

Employment rates at Oswald D. Heck Developmental Center,
Niskayuna, and at other Mental Hygiene facilities, will remain at
present levels, according to an announcement by Mental Hygiene
Department Commissioner Lawrence C. Kolb, However, Dr. Kolb
said the facilities will be required to increase patient caseloads.
“While the staffing levels of the newer developmental centers will
remain at their present levels,” he said, “each will be required to
increase its workload to accept transfers from the older, less ade-
quate developmental centers.”

Instruct Troy SD
To Honor Contract
On Increment Pay

TROY—The American Arbitration Assn. found in favor
of the Troy School District unit, Civil Service Employees
Assn., concerning the payment of annual increments auto-
matically, unconditioned by satisfactory performance or any

other limitation established uni-
Iaterally by the school district
contrary to the memorandum of
agreement.

‘This situation developed when
the School District refused to
pay a $200 increment to an em-
ployee who had been hired by
the District on Aug. 26, 1974,
and became eligible for an in-
crement Aug. 26, 1975.

‘The school district informed
the employee that the increment
was not paid because of dissat-
isfaction with his work perfor-
mance. It claimed that payment
of such increments is based upon
satisfactory performance of du-
ties, attitudes and attendance as
explained in the School Dis-
trict’s letter of appointment.

The arbitmtor stated: “I do
not find that the District re-
served as a managerial preroga-
tive, any right to unilaterally
condition the increment salary
schedule.”

On April 14, the arbitrator
awarded the decision to CSEA
and directed the District to
grant the employee the incre-
ment effective us of that date.

The decision was greeted by

McDermott Urges Changes
In Bill Affecting Libraries

ALBANY—Joseph E. McDermott, president of Albany Region IV, Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn., suggested that librarians and other interested persons may wish to have
their opinions heard regarding two copyright bills now pending before Congress.

“Librarians are concerned about the effects on libraries of certain sections of Bills

522 and HR 2223, both identical
in wording,” Mr. McDermott said.
“822 was passed by the Senate
Feb. 4 by a vote of 97-0 and 1s

on Courts, Civil Liberties and
the Administration of Justice.”

One section of the bill, Mr.
McDermott pointed out, prohibits
libraries and archives, or their
employees, from engaging in
systematic reproduction or dis-
tribution of single or multiple
copies or photorecords of materi-
als.

“What does this mean? In the
hearings in the Senate commit-

they will pool acquisions of ma-
terials with one library buying
one periodical and the second
another, and each to supply the

\

other with photocopies of ma-
terial from the periodical they
do not own, that this would be
egal and the library subject to
up to a $50,000 fine. Also com-

begin at 10 a.m.

School in Corthand, is shown recelving her winning certificate from

Nancy's mother, Genevieve Ferro, and Richard Wilkins, chairman

of the Cortland Bicentennial Commission. More than 250 Cortland
County students submitted essays on “Why | Want To Take My

Parents To Philadelphia During the Bicentennial Celebration.” The

tions of those materials would be
illegal. And sending photocopies
through in interlibrary loan net-
works such as our NYSILL net-
work would be considered ‘sys-
tematic reproduction’ of materi-
als, thus illegal. Strict enforce-
ment could destroy interlibrary
Joan in the United States,” Mr.
McDermott said.

“There is a clause in the bill
designating that under ‘fair use,
single photocopies for distribu-
tion to a single person may be
permitted. But we understand
this is being interpreted to mean
that once one copy of a par-
teular item has been made it
may never be copied again so
long as copyright is in effect.

“Another portion of the law ts
of concern. Section 106 author-
izes the owner of copyright to
distribute copies by sale, rental,
lease, or lending. Publishers are
reportedly already urging that a
clearing house be set up to collect
royalties on library copies sold
by the publishers. In order to
copy or lend the books you buy
you would have to pay a higher
price than the regular trade
price of the book in order to lend
{t to library patrons, It's even
being suggested that publishers
might refuse to sell books to a
Ubrary except at higher prices
and with restrictions on use
specified by contract.”

Mr, McDermott said he feels
these sections should be deleted
from the bill and urged inter-
ested persons to contact their
congressmen regarding the mat-
ter.

“Congressman Edward C. Pat-
terson is a key individual in this
fight as he is a member of the
committee which is currently
considering the bill,” Mr, Mc-
Dermott noted.

addict than to fund the recovery
of stolen property, provide police
manpower, jail terms and hos-
pitalization involved when that
same addict ls on the streets,
and not in an ODAS program.

“What is the price tag on
fear?” Dr. Wenal's letter asked.
“In your home district, elderly
citizens are afraid to leave their
apartments, knowing an addict
lurks outside. Drug addiction
knows no geographic boundar-
jes; it exists in the suburbs and
in upstate villages as well as
in the cities. ODAS is a program
that works for people—people all
across the state.”

Dr. Wenzl pointed out that
more than half the budget for
ODAS is federally reimbursed
through Medicaid funds. This,
he said, was “the irony in the
butchering of ODAS; it has al-
ways been one of the most eco-
nomical of state programs. It
was never wise to reduce ODAS
fundings. It would be foolish not
to restore those funds now.”

He called the restoration of
the funds “not an expenditure,
but an investment in the welfare
of the citizens and voters in your
home district” and concluded by
asking the state senators and
assemblymen to “fight along
with CSEA for the restoration of
the ODAS budget to its 1975
level of $65.5 million.”

The letters were hand-deliv-
ered to members of the Assembly
Ways and Means Committee and
the Senate Finance Committee,
and to every member of both
houses of the State Legislature.

On Verge Of Strike

Mr, Carlson has called the
county position “regressive.” He
said it could result in a reduction
of benefits already held by the
employees.

Aside from salary, major is-
sues in the dispute concern the
county’s plan to discontinue
shorter working days in July and
August, and the county's refusal
to allow increased accumulation

of vacation time and quarterly
notification of accumulated leave.

‘The neutral fact-finder, ap-
pointed by the Public Employ-
ment Relations Board, rejected
several other of the county's
proposals, These include a reduc-
tion in the number of vacation
days and elimination of a 10
percent night-shift differential.

Mr. Carlson also took the
Board to task for granting raises
to certain department heads,
while refusing “to give any to
the average employee.”
