McKeon Echoing
Kennedy Theme Of
New Frontier Team

RESIDENT John F, Ken-

nedy’s theme of a “New
Frontier” in American poll-
tics and ambitions has main-
tained a vitality that many
observers find remarkable
after two years of exposition.
The theme certainly has its
detractors but it has been
generally acknowledged that
the President has managed to
maintain his position as a
young, energetic Chief Execu-
tive with a similar following,
dedicated to pushing America
out Into new frontiers in and
out of this world—that is to
say, in the areas of domestic
and foreign policy and in
outer space.

‘Against Giving

ALBANY, Dec. 3—J, Burehi
McMorran, state superintend-

fied contractors doing busi-
ness with the State that they
are not to offer gifts to any
department employee or of-
ficial,

declared:

District Office or in the field,

CIVIL SERVICE

LEAD

Tuesday, December 4, 1962

(Continued from Page 1)

Great emphasis has been
laid by the President on
youth. This has had expres-
sion not only in Government
leadership appointments but
also, for example, in the for-
mation of the Peace Corps,
which Republicans, too, have
given recognition in terms of
worth and usefulness.

Echoing the “New Frontier”
in New York State is William
McKeon, chairman of the
Democratic State Committee,
himself an energetic, youthful
leader who was handed the
job of restoring vitality and
energy to the Democratic
Party following the departure
of Michael Prendergast and
Carmine DeSapio from the
chief ranks of the state or-
ganization.

Work Cut-Out For McKeon

McKeon has had his work
cut out for him. One major
task has been restoring har-
mony within the party and
he has been successful to a
great degree on this score. He |
still has the formidable job)
of keeping peace in the Met-
Tropolitan New York area
where resentment among lo-
cal Democratic leaders still
continues as a result of the
feuding and fussing which
started with the split between
Mayor Wagner and Carmine
DeSapio.

McKeon is on good terms
with the Mayor. However, he
flso Js a longtime friend of
Stanley Steingut, 44-year-old
Brooklyn attorney who won
the leadership of Kings
County despite the oppasi-
tion of Wagner, and McKeon
has a warm relationship with
Charles F. Buckley, Bronx
Jeader who still has the most
authoritative contacts in the
White House. (It is to be re-
membered that when Buckley
decided to come out for Mor-
genthau at the Syracuse con-
vention it was McKeon that
he contacted to bring Morgen-
thau over for a discussion on
the endorsement.)

On the political front, Me-
Keon is realist enough to
know he is facing a powerful
force in the Rockefeller team
which, despite talk that the
Governor's 500,000 plus ma-
jority this month was in
some ways a setback, swept
the state strongly and is still
very much in control of the
the State Legislature. McKeon
knows, of course, that Rocke-
feller’s win was a big win and
that the million-vote plurality
piled up by Sen. Jack Javits
and the 600,000 plus margin
of Attorney General Louis
Lefkowitz are evidence
enough that the GOP in New

York State is tough and can |

get the votes,

DON'T REPEAT THIS

Election Had Good Side

This does not mean that
the November election results
left him entirely unhappy.
‘Those close to McKeon report
that he is no little pleased
that Comptroller Arthur Lev-
{tt not only won big but in
so doing took the vote for his
office in such a GOP strong-
hold as upstate Onondaga
County. He counts the big
Democratic vote scored by
his friend Peter Crotty in
Erie County as a major step
In making inroads in tradi-
tionally Republican upstate
New York. In addition, the
{Democrats elected John F,
| Scileppi to the Court of Ap-
peals, thus giving the Demo-
crats a total of two of the
five major offices (counting
the governorship and lieuten-
ant governorship as one).

THE FUTURE

As for the future, McKeon
is expected now to take ad-
vantage of the young enthu-
siastic team of leaders and
party workers throughout the
|state with whom he feels he
jean build a Kennedy-like
|team that will bring New York
|State its own expression of
the “New Frontier.”
| Among those that McKeon
jis said to be counting on
heavily to bring out the new
image of the Democratic
Party as a reflection of the
Kennedy emphasis on young
leadership are William Luddy
of Westchester; Eugene Nick-
erson, first Democrat in Nas-
sau County to win the post
of County Executive; 36-
year-old Jack English, Nassau
County leader; 38-year-old
Edward Costikyan, the “prac-
tical” reform leader of Tam-
many Hall and a brilliant at-
torney; Congressman Samuel
Stratton, who scored a major
victory upstate by first hay-
ing his district cut up and
then winning In a new dis-
ct that was considered a
safe bet for his opponent;
Congressman Otis Pike out in
Suffolk and, again, Stanley

Steingut in Kings County.
Most of these men are in
their early 40's.

Some other upstate

“comers” as far as McKeon
| Associates see it are 31-year-
old David Lee in Chenago
| County; George B. Palmer of
| Schenectady; Thomas Gilroy
of Onelda; Joseph Ciccolanti
}of Putnam; Francis Lavigne,
St. Lawrence; and George Van
Lengen, Onondaga. All are in
their middle thirties or early
forties. He is also known to

rely greatly on Ben Wetzler, |

still a young man although
old in political experience,
who serves as secretary to the
Democratic State Committee.
Wetzler, by the way, was one
of the very earliest Kennedy
supporters,
” Important New “Comer”
McKeon also sees future,
it is said, for Howard Sam-
uels, 44-year-old Buffalo in-
dustrialist who sought the
Democratic gubernatorial no-
mination, Democratic leaders
are said to be deeply im-

pressed by the fact that Sam-
uels was not a sore loser but
very definitely a man inter-
ested in the good of the party.
He immediately went to work
for Morgenthau following the
Syracuse convention, raising
money and making speeches

Morgenthau Still Rates

McKeon {fs also reported to
be cheerful over the expo-
sure of numerous Democratic
personalities as a result of
the recent campaign. This,
McKeon Is sald to feel, gives
him a proved list of top qual-
ity candidates for the future.
Many Democrats feel sure
that Robert Morgenthau will
have a second chance some-
where. They point out that
the first campaign has now
made him what he wasn’t
before — a known candidate
with political know - how.
Manhattan District Attorney
Frank 8. Hogan, always a fav-
orite with numerous leaders,
will stay in the headlines
throughout the year, which
certainly doesn't hurt his pos-
sibilities as a candidate for
some future race. Queens DA
Frank O'Connor made a deep
impression at Syracuse and

around, Of Surrogate Samuel
DiFalco, it is said he could
have almost any candidacy he
wanted, should he ever de-
cide to leave the bench. Then,
too, there are Deputy Mayor
Edward Cavanaugh and City
Council President Paul Sere-
vane, both favorites of Mayor

Wagner, and, finally, the
Mayor himself.
| Zt is with these men, and

many others, that McKeon is
said to be banking on to bring
the “New Frontier” in New
York State to the prominence
and popularity it has on the
national level. This should be
good news to the President,
Attorney General Robert Ken-
nedy and Mayor Wagner, who
should see in this group of
names a lot of muscle for the
big fight in 1964,

Commission Hears Debate
On Syracuse Deputy Chief
Case; Quick Decision Due

(From Leader Correspondent)

SYRACUSE, Dec. 3—A decision is expect ed early this month from the State Civil Serv-
ice Commission on the plan to exempt deputy chiefs of the Syracuse Police Department

H, Eliot Kaplan, president of the Commission, said last week following arguments
before the Commission in Albany that the matter would be immediately referred to the
state body’s counsel for a quick decision after attorneys file briefs. He directed the attor-

neys to file the briefs within a week.

During the arguments, one

“expert” for the Syracuse Police
Benevolent Association countered
Syracuse mayor's contention that
leadership cannot be tested by
jasserting that if qualifications
for the post were set up, tests
can be devised to test leadership
ability In the Job,

which strenuously opposes the
plan to put the deputies in the
exempt classification.

Syracuse Mayor William F.
Walsh, who proposed the change,
contended before the Commis-
sion that Civil Service offers no
way to measure the qualities of
leadership, maturity and judg-
ment, He said the plan to boost
the number of deputy chiefs from

Policewomen May Take

Promotion Examination,
Appellate Division Rules

Policewoman Felicia Shpritzer may soon take a promo-
tion examination for sergeant—unless the New York City
Service Commission decides to take a recent court decision
to the State Court of Appeals.

‘The Appeliate Division of the
State Supreme Court ruled last
week that policewomen have the
right to compete in examinations
for promotion to sergeant, This
does not mean, however, that the
female members of the uniformed
force will be used for patrol duty.
Miss Shpritzer feels that since

Condon-Wadlin Law
Is Still The Law

HE Cormion-Wadlin anti-strike law was invoked by

New York City last week as members of the American
Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees,
AFL-CIO, went on strike. Some of these union members
hhave been dismissed from their jobs, under a provision of
the law invoked by the City, and others may be fired
before the union strike is halted.

There are two issues to be considered here and the
first of them is the law itself, When it was written,
public employees were denied one of the greatest weapons
any employee group can wield in fighting for itself, with-
out being given any equivalent tool in return. In addition,
the Condon-Wadlin Law provides unbelievably harsh pen-
alties for those public employees who do violate its pro-
visions, For this reason, almost all employee organizations,
including the 110,000-member Civil Service Employees Assn.,
have called for its repeal and replacement by a more work-
able and just piece of legislation. So much for the law itself,

The other issue at hand js that these striking em-
ployees are breaking the law, Almost every responsible em-
ployee organization in this state has pledged itself not
to strike, while at the same time reserving the right
to wage legislative war against the Condon-Wadlin Law.
These include the Uniformed Firemen’s Association, the
Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association and the Civil Service

Lawyers Ask Support
for Death Gamble Act

Editor, The Leader:

It is estimated that approxi-
mately 575 city employees, al-
though eligible to retire, die in city
service or within thirty days after
they have filed their application
for retirement. In these instances
their beneficiaries are deprived of
the City’s retirement contribution,
despite the employee's perfor-
mance of many years of devoted
public service,

Under the present law, the
beneficiary of such an employee
who dies in service is entitled only
to the employee's accumulated de~
ductions, plus & maximum of one
year's salary,

The State Legislature has pro-
tected the New York City school
teacher from this “death gamble”
(L. 1961, ch. 948, as amended),
Under the present law the teacher
is afforded the opportunity to re-
main in service beyond retirement
age without risking his retirement
benefits should he die while in
Service. The teacher is deemed to
have retired one day before his
death, thus preserving all of his
retirement rights as if he had re-
tired prior to death, This law is
commonly referred to as
“Death Gamble Act.”

State Enjoys Benefits
The Legislature has afforded

Employees Association.

While the Condon-Wadlin Law is a law of the state
it must be obeyed, no matter how regretful a law it might
be, Public officials are as bound by the law as employee
organizations. If AFSCME members are fired by the City, |
the responsibility Hes more with the union than with |
Mayor Wagner and his aides. No official can be expected
to tolerate such open flaunting of the law,

The Mayor has shown himself to be an unusally en-/|
lightened public official in most of the areas of labor
relation. He deserves more consideration that the threat
posed by this strike. |

This newspaper has spoken out strongly against the
Condon-Wadlin Law for years. It has always been a staunch
supporter of the cause of the public employee, It cannot
in all conscience, however, condone a strike which is against
the City, the people and the law, It is our firm belief |
that such an trresponsible action is detrimental to the whole |
cause of the public employee, both now and in the future,

LAW & YOU

By HAROLD L, HERZSTEIN;
Mr. Herastein is a member of the New York bar
(The views expressed in this column are those of the writer and

not necessarily constitute the views of this newspaper or of any
organization.)

A Timely Decision

WE ARE getting better results all the time,

THE LAST change was one which provides for decisions
in certain actions by civil service employees where there
used to be none, and gives a civil service employee a chance
to fight where he once had none. I am happy to report that
Singer v. Schechter, as Chairman, and others, decided by the
Appellate Division of the First Department in New York City,
| is such a case, I thank Lt. Policarpos Remantanin for send-
jing a copy of the opinion to me, and congratulate the em-
| ployees who scored.

THE JUDGE who heard the case in the lower Court
threw out the civil service employees’ petition. The Appellate
Division reversed him, and wrote that the petition had to
be heard. The Judge below followed the law up to the time,
The Appellate Division has started a new course of the law.
I am very happy about it, as it will mean a lot to the civil
service.

THE FACTS

THE PETITIONERS had taken an examination for cap-
tain in the New York City Police Department in 1958, Their
proceeding had been dismissed without a hearing by order
of the Court. However, they filed their notice of appeal on
| time and effected the appeal at the present time.

BETWEEN THE time of the dismissal of that proceeding
and the present motion, the Court had reversed a dismissal
of the petition in a similar proceeding and had ordered such
a case retried. It is the testimony in that trial which is the
new evidence that the petitioners now want to present in
their case to the Appellate Division.

THE CIVIL Service Commission of New York City argued
that the petitioners could not succeed because of “lack of
time.”

I HAVE told you many times of the fact that you have
four months from the date of a proceeding to take an appeal
(Civil Practice Act, Section 1286). The Commission in this
ease asserted the fact that the list had expired more than
four months prior to the current action and therefore that
all the petitioners’ rights had been cut off.

COURT DECIDES FOR EMPLOYEES

THE COURT said that there is a question as to whether
a party was guilty of laches—that is general unwarranted
| delay; but that such a question had to be submitted to the
Court on the facts.

IN THIS case the Appellate Division reversed the orig-
inal order d sent the case back for a fresh hearing, It
gave the Commission the right to enter a defense of laches,
|'That would mean that the defendants could give proof of

A tribute to New York State's

#15 in a series on State Government

Department of Law

The Department of Law, under the direction of
Attorney General Louis J. Lefkowitz is charged
with a wide range of responsibilities to assure
proper enforcement of the laws of the State, When
the Attorney General considers it in the public
interest, and with the approval of the Governor,
he is empowered to inquire into matters concern-
ing the public peace, public safety and public
justice, He prosecutes and defends all actions in
which the State is interested, appears in cases
involving attacks on the constitutionality of state
Jaws and brings actions against firms and individ-
uals that engage in fraudulent activities,

The duties of the employces of the Department
cover a wide range of activities under the Execu-
tive Law, the State Constitution and other laws
passed by the Legislature,

‘THE STATEWIDE PLAN ... a combination
of Blue Cross, Blue Shield and Major Medical...
provides security and protection for most of the
employees of the Department of Law against the
cost of hospital and medical care, This three-part
program offers realistic coverage for all New York
State employees as well, active and retired,

The vast majority of employees of the State of
New York know that as subscribers to THE
STATEWIDE PLAN, they are eligible for the
most liberal benefits at the lowest possible cost.
They know, too, that wherever they go, at home
or abroad, this plan and its benefits travel with
them, In this fact there is security against the
worry and concern which would result from less
adequate coverage.

Get all the facts about THE STATEWIDE
PLAN from your Personnel or Payroll Officer,

The one ball pen you
hate to lend...

It's worth the effort to hang onto this pen because it’s not “just another
ballpoint.” The Parker Jotter is precisely engineered. Its textured T-Ball
with thousands of tiny grippers holds the paper and bites through slick
spots. The whole giant refill “shifts gears” a quarter turn every time you
click the button, saves wear on the point. The Parker Jotter writes up
to five times longer than ordinary ballpoints. Buy it for yourself—or a

4 point sizes: extra-fine, fine, medium, broad; 6 attractive barrel colors.

MENTAL HYGIENE MEMO

By WILLIAM ROSSITER
CSEA Mental Hygiene Representative
(The views expressed in this column are those of the writer and
@o not necessarily constitute the views of this newspaper or of any
organization).

Women Bosses Here to Stay

WOMEN OF AMERICA ARE on the rise in tmportant

jobs. They are playing an ascendant role in the nation’s
economic life.

WHATEVER ITS EFFECT on the male ego, the answer
appears to be that brains are more in demand these days
than brawn, Witness automation!

WOMEN ARE NOW MAKING a significant Impact on
every governmental, political, financial, industrial, labor,

educational, welfare, civic and religious organization across
the country.

WHO HANDLES MOST of the money In the average

family and in whose names are most securities, bank |
accounts, mortgages, insurance policies, etc? Women, of
course.

WOMEN BOSSES? We have many. With respect to com-
petition, ability and qualifications, we can argue for a long
time re the status of women In different jobs and their roles,
Men, we have to admit objectively that they produce and
in most cases work harder to prove to themselves and their
bosses (and others) that they can match wits with us,

THE PATH IS NOT easy for women bosses, sacrifices
must be made and rebuffs are many, Women workers prefer
a male boss because men as a general rule are easier to

work for. Men workers agree with this thinking. This could |

be, as we men, sometimes are pawns, easily controlled and
deceived by some of the opposite sex. Women bosses per-
celve many things in men and women, small or large, that
men, because of their nature, miss completely.

LADIES, WE DO NOT want to become embroiled In a
losing fight—we admit that women bosses are on the In-
crease and they are usually successful In their chosen field.
Most men prefer to work for a male boss, some are Indif-
ferent and a few like a women boss. A clever, sharp and
understanding woman executive usually surmounts these
differences,

BEING PRACTICAL and realistic, men must admit that
women In higher positions haye to be exceptional. If they
weren't, they would not have received the promotion or
advanced to their station in life.

WE HAVE TO BE understanding with them just as they
are with us in terms of common Inadequancies, jealousies,
pettiness or downright cussedness.

‘THE SHIFT FROM brawn to brain, dexterity and educa-
tion will continue to open the labor force to women.

SOME WOMEN, of course, should never, for many rea-
sons, be in charge of male employees, If they are not under-
standing of men working under them and if they “show off
their authority” their chances for success as a boss of men
(or women) will really suffer and production will likewise
suffer. For those less tolerant men, it would be difficult to
practice respect and chivalry in such circumstances.

IT TAKES A special kind of women to be the boss and
many are doing it most successfully in so many fields—let’s
give them credit

RE: ‘T AND hate are destroyers—not good for
one's mental health and certainly a deterrent to good human
relations,

PEOPLE WITH OPEN minds accept changes—women
bosses are here to stay, so why not get with it,

$100 Awards

There were three $100 awards.

Joseph L. Cranney of Albany,

|malling costs, eliminating the
only exception to standard check |
distribution procedures, and mak~
Ing possible the conversion of
check-typing to an IBM operation.

William G, Slocum of Schagh-|
Ucoke, tabulating machine opera-|

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

CORRECTION CORNER

By CHARLES LAMB
(The views expressed in this column are those of the writer and

do not necessarily constitute the views of this newspaper or of any
organization).

Francis A. MacDonald

TWICE IN THE same year death has claimed two of
the most active Civil Service representatives of the Southern
Conference. First we lost Jack Solod and now, Francis A,
MacDonald, president of Warwick State School chapter.

“BIG MAC” AS HE liked to be called was the father of
the CSEA Conference idea. He organized and was the first
president of the Southern Conference. Prior to this he had
held many local chapter offices and served on many CSEA
statewide committees. He was instrumental through the
Southern Conference In having a plaque placed in the Asso-
ciation Headquarters in commemoration of civil service em-
ployees who had contributed over and above their duties
in the interest of their brother employees, Mac was elected
a vice president of CSEA which office he held for many
years and later was a candidate for CSEA President.

CORRECTION EMPLOYEES will always remember “Big
Mac" as a friend and staunch supporter and will miss his
booming voice raised in their behalf on many occasions at
delegates and board meetings of CSEA. This writer had the
golden opportunity of being a close friend and associate of
“Big Mac” for many years, being coached and following his
footsteps as he advanced up the ladder in CSEA. His sin-
cerity and untiring energy in employees Interest was a big
spot to fill and I only hope that I have filled the expecta-
tions of “Big Mac.” Civil Service employees over the State
will miss him as a friend, fellow employee, and represen-
tative, and when the thunder booms louder in future storms,
they will know just “Big Mac” in Heaven telling someone
its MacDonald, spelled MAC,

MRS. LaCLAIRE TICE of the Poughkeepsie Journal has
been appointed as the Civil Service Leader correspondent
for the Southern Conference area. Mrs, Tice will appreciate
the submission of chapter and civil service news from chap-
ters in this area

GOVERNOR ROCKEFELLER should take a tip from
President John F, Kennedy, He has already granted and
notified Federal Employees that Monday, December 24, will
be a holiday for them. It would be nice to make plans In
advance, Governor.

THE FIRST FULL dress meeting of employees, CSEA
President Joseph Feily and Budget Director T. Norman Hurd,
was held in reference to the pending reallocation of Cor-
rection Officers to R-12. It was felt by those attending that
a decision may be in the form of “Yule Tidings”.

THIS WRITER AS on previous occasions is again stick-
ing his neck way out and predicting that the decision will
be in the affirmative

DONALD D. SCARBOROUGH, superintendent of the
Vocational School of Coxsackle was tendered a dinner by
the employees upon his retirement. The employees at
Coxsackie are sure losing an understanding and coopera-
tive boss. Big question now—Who?

PUBLIC RELATIONS sometime appear in strange ways
Sing Sing Prison bowling team sponsored by the CSEA
Chapter are listed in first place in the largest bowling lea-
gue in Westchester. Many people surprised to learn that the
Correction Officers are real human beings instead of the
type usually depicted on TV and movie screens.
