Many Questions Arise
On Dewey's One-Man
Civil Service Proposal
ALBANY, Dec, 27—The ides, of
a one-man Civil Service Commis-
sion for the State, broached last
week by the Governor’s office,
caused a heavy buzz-buzz in per-+
sonnel and political circles of the
State.
Tt was an unenlightening hulla~
balloo, however, with more ques-
tions asked than answers given.
What was the real purpose of the
move? Why was it made now, at
a time when the present Com-
mission is giving evidence of
strong improvement in its work?
In what way will anything sub-
stantial be changed by simply
changing the machinery? Who's
going to get the top job? What
will be the real powers of the
three-man “counsel” envisioned in
the Governor's plan? Presuming
that the counsel consists of the
present members of the Commis-
sion, how will they be reimbursed?
What fundamental changes will
be made in the civil service struc
ture? What kind of an appoint-
ment is envisioned for the new
head — a definite or an indefinite
one?
In general, the view held by
most of those queried seems to
be: This is just a change in mech-
anics, The Governor's office was
quick to cite support for the
change, however, from the Na-

McNamara Accepts Invitation
One of the first to act on the
proposal was President Joseph A,
McNamara, of the NYC Civil Ser-
vice Commission, who was per-
sonally informed by The LEADER
of Mr, Patterson’s decision, There
are some prospective hardship
cases in the Commission's office,
especially in connection with the

directly for possible
useful in some way—or die. But
our society has not yet picked up
the challenge,
“We know too that many of our
old timers simply have to keep
working to stay off old age as-
sistance rolls. The average pen-
sion paid by the state is under
$1,000 a year; about a third of
our state pensioners receive under
$500 a year. If we want to keep
these faithful old workers off the
charity lists, we certainly should
remove any unjust barriers to
their taking jobs that will help
them be self-supporting,
Other Aids
“Our Committee is examining
section 32 of the civil service law
as part of a much broader pro-
gram to assist older persons, This
will include job counselling for
the older worker, an effort to
break down prejudice against the
hiring of oldsters, a drive to pro-
mote work opportunities for the
over-45 age group, the revamping
of pension systems to eliminate
many antiquated features in both
private and public retirement
plans, as well as the adoption of
various health measures,
“We are studying the impact of
section 32 both on the retired
worker and on the merit system,
and if repeal or modification of
this section is in the public in-
terest, we shall introduve the
tional Civil Service League and the
Civil Service Reform Association,
Winston Paul of the League ad-
mitted that the plan had been
based on the League's Model Civil
Service Law. He said that laws
based on it had worked well in
Minnesota, Rhode. Island, and
other states.
The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, however, was still main-
taining an attitude of cautious in-
terest. That organization wants to
know more about it before making
& commitment one way or the
other, Dr. Frank L, Tolman, the
Association’s president, reiterated
his view that there should be safe-
guards in the proposed law, par-
ticularly in regard to the advisory
counsel, He said: “Since we are
the ones who have to live under
this thing, I feel it only right
that we be called in for consulta-
tion before the final proposal is
drawn up into a legislative bill,
We are interested in having a
part in this change, and our ex-
perience can be of enormous im-
pareance to the Governor and his
aides,”
Desmond Wants Merit Choice
Meanwhile State Senator Thom-
as Desmond also asked for safe-
guards, suggesting that the new
commissioner should himself be
chosen on a merit basis, Senator
Desmond would like to see a
complete revaluation of civil ser-
vice with emphasis on efficiency.
Tt has been noted that the en-
tire plan was “sprung” by the
Governor's office without calling
in any of the interested parties,
So far as can be learned, the idea
was news even to the members of
the Civil Service Commiission it-
self, None of them were willing
to comment on it. However, the
Position of Commissioner Alex
Falk, latest appointee, seems par-
ticularly equivocal, He has been
doing, by everyone's admission, a
conscientious job, He didn’t seek
the post, and left a Senate seat
to take lt,
It is evident that the new plan
does not have the unanimity which
the Governor's spokesman had
made it appear, On the other
hand, no real opposition has shown
itself either. All hands are await-
ing the precise terms of the
proposal,
Experience
Not So Stiff;
No Oral Test
Apply From Jan. 11
The Social Investigator exam-
ination notice was approved by
Budget Director Thomas J. Pat
terson and the NYC Civil Service
Commission scheduled it for in-
clusion in the January series,
The application period for the
January tests will be from Tue
day, January 11, to Wednesday,
January 26,
The total pay on appointment
4s $2,710 a ytar. No college degree
is required but senior high school
graduation or equivalency diplo-
ma is.
Job Opportunities Rise
Job opportunities for veterans
increased greatly by an enlarge-
ment of the period during which
experience may be claimed, to the
last 10 years, instead of 6, That
makes pre-war experience count;
otherwise veterans in general
could not meet the experience re~
quirements.
There are tour mandatory an-
nual increments of $120 per an-
num; however, the salary reached
by mandatory increments may not
exceed $2,280 per annum,
Applications must be filed in
person on forms furnished by the
Commission, Such application
forms may be obtained from
the Application Section, 96 Duane
Street, Manhattan, N, Y. 7, from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays and
from 9 a.m. to 12 noon on Satur
days, and must be filed there dur~
ing these hours. Applications must
be notarized and must be accom-
panied by the prescribed fee of $1
cash, check or money order. Ap-
plications which are properly
executed and accompanied by the
prescribed fee will be accepted
from anyone who presents him-
Self as an agent of the applicant,
Many Vacancies Expected :
Fees are not refunded to per«
sons who are absent from exam~
inations; refunds are made only
to those candidates not permitted
to take examinations by the Com~
mission because they lack the
necessary requirements,

Economics
Of Their Case
Scoring present salaries as in=
adequate, nurses in the N. Y, State
Department of Mental Hygiene
in their recent appeal to the
State Salary Standardization
Board have asked substantial pay
hikes.
In a report to the Board, they
listed 423 vacancies existing in
the Department of Mental Hy-
giene, Increased staffs have been
recommended. But how, the re-
port asks, can “added items be
filled when we cannot fill present
vacancies?”
Low salaries were declared the
case of the acute shortage, felt
more keenly in State service than
in either federal service or pri-
vate industry. Present schedules
range from $2,160 to $4,620.
(These figures not include
bonuses, which, the report de-
clared, are merely “token ad-
justments.”) A range of $2,880 to
$6,600 was set as the minimum
adequate figure.
Nurses Leave
Other factors pointing up the
need for an increase are:
“Upon graduation, entire classes
of nurses leave State service for
more attractive positions else-
where.
“Many nurse items remain va-
yr.|cant, and it is difficult to recruit
candidates for our State Hospital
S| ering schools.
“The standards of training
schools have been raised con-
siderably in the past few years,
and entrance requirements are
more exacting.”
Demanding Work
‘The nature of the work in men-
tal institutions is even more de-
manding than general nursing.
The atmosphere is tense. Any-
thing can happen, including per-
sonal injury by violent patients,
the nurses argued.
The upward trend in the popu-
lation of mental institutions
means more work — with less
People to do it.
Value of Work
“We seek the higher salary al-
location wholly on- the basis of
social and economic factors in-
volved,” the report concluded.
“We believe it is especially de-
sirable to encourage young people
to take the necessary training for
the profession and to halt the
foregoing of the practice of their
profession by experienced nurses
because of more lucrative em-
Ployment in lines less important
to society as a whole... We be-
leve we have shown on grounds
of value of work, conditions of
employment, evaluation of ser-
vices in other fields, need of ad-
ditional nursing service, and ab-
ility of the State to pay for the
service, outstanding propriety for
the establishment of the salary
grades asked for the different
nursing positions.”
The Board denied the appeal
but_the nurses are fighting on,
New Officers of Committee
The new officers of the Nurses
Committee of The Civil Service
Employees Association, elected
October 21, are now in office. They
are:
Chairman, George Robertson,
Middletown State Hospital; Vice-
chairman, G. M, White, Buffalo
State Hospital; the Secretary,
Martha 8. Hill, Hudson River
State Hospital; Treasurer, Mrs.
Hope Pritchard, Rockland State
Hospital.
‘The secretary, the other day, an-
nounced; “The officers will be
glad to answer questions other
State nurses may have. Only as
@ group may we be effective; so
let’s pull together for the good
of all. No date has set for
the next meeting but all will
know in ample time to prepare
to attend.
“If the delegate, to whom all
correspondence and notices are
sent, has changed for any reason,
Please send to the secretary the
mame and address of the new
delegate. This is important to in-
sure each hospital of receiving
all notices,”

on Post 930 for Mitchell Bill
Meanwhile, Frank Simons, head
of the powerful Legion Post 930,
stated publicly that his unit was
sticking solidly behind the Mit-
chell bill, which the men of his
post had supported by an oyer-
whelming majority, There had
been some rumor that while the
men were for the Mitchell bill, the
Post's readers were sluggish in fol-
lowing their democratic mandate.
Mr. Simons’ statement dispelled
such rumor completely, indicating
that this important post was utiliz-
ing its prestige and efforts in be-
half of the Mitchell bill, Said Mr,
Simons;
Men Voted
“Our post made a survey of the
three bills, We had committees
get the information to the men,
Then the men voted, The result
was more than 10 to 1 for the
Mitchell bill, As a result, our post
is definitely on record for the
Mitchell bill.” He added that his
post sees in the Mitchell bill an
element of fairness not present in
any other proposal so far made,
‘The stand of this post is par-
ticularly important because all its
members are civil service em-
ployees,
Little Support for Condon
Evidence from informal conver-
sations with Legislators, and with
others who have their ear to the
round, indicates that the Condon
ill has suffered heavily during
the past year, as civil service has
had an opportunity to analyze its
meaning and its consequences,
Outside of the American Legion,
that bill has garnered almost no
support. And within the Legion,
too, it seems to be having a des-
perate struggle to remain alive,
One legionnaire, high in that
arganization’s legislative circles,
told The LEADER: “We've held
our fire, It's-early yet, Wait till we
get going. We'll bring ’em around.”
At the same time, he added, para-
doxically, that he himself does not
like the Condon bill,
As_ reported in last week's
LEADER, much of the evidence
adds up to a possible last-minute
“blitz” with another bill to take
the place of the Legion's Condon
measure, The Mitchell bill forces
are preparing for such a conting-
ency, and argue that: (1) it would
indicate the unacceptability of
the Condon bill to the public; (2)
another measure would have little
chance in the Legislature, which
doesn’t want to be led around by
the nose on this issue,
Want to Talk It Over
Mitchell bill proponents — and
this includes the major civil ser-
vice organizations—are eager to
sit down with Legion representa-
tives on this issue, and solve it
amfeably, They point out that ob-
Jections to the Mitchell bill either
are unrealistic or could be met by
statute. Thus, for example, it is
said that the Mitchell bill doesn't
provide for disabled veteran re-
tention in case of layoff. The an-
swer is that retention is written
into section 21 of the Civil Ser-
vice Law. It is pointed out that
the Mitchell bill doesn’t provide
preference for the widows of vet-
erans who died in combat.
Neither does the Condon bill; and
if additional legislation seems de-
sirable to accomplish this, it can
be talked over without in the
papers hampering the Mitchell
ill.
It is pointed out, too, that if
a matter of “face” is involved, the
Legion would not lose face by
backing the Mitchell measure,
which is a vet preference pro-
posal that has the best opportun-
ity of getting public support at
the polls.

All State Workers
Get 2 Extra Days
ALBANY, Dec, 27— Governor
Thomas E, Dewey, two days be-
fore the Christmas holiday,
granted two days off to all State
workers, the Friday preceding
Christmas and the Friday pre-
ceding New Years.
The Governor also advised the
Civil Service Commission to noti-
fy all institutions and the State
Police that employees unable to
have those days off will receive
equivalent time off when they can
be spared, The second directive
of the Governor came after the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion had called to his attention
that institutional and State Police
employees would not be as free
as other workers to get the two
Fridays off. The Governor im-
mediately agreed to make the “in
Meu of” arrangement for them.
We
Tt is felt, both in civil service
and political circles, that the na-
tional political picture, with re-
peal or modification of the Taft-
Hartley act a certainty, opens
the way for repeal of the New
York State measure. The Civil
Service Employees Association,
which has repeal of the Condon-
Wadlin measure high up on its
agenda is also seeking a means
of establishing labor relations
machinery for public employees of
the state for the peaceful settle-
ment of disputes,
Removal Safeguards
Senator Fine, who has a strong
interest in civil service matters,
plans also to introduce a bill
prohibiting removal of employees
with 10 years of service except for
incompetence or misconduct) after
a hearing and with right of re-
view, This bill passed the Senate
but died in the Assembly’s Civil
Service Committee.
Authored Many Bills
Senator Fine is the author of
many bills for improving the con-
ditions of civil service employees;
and an unusually large number of
his proposals have been enacted
into law.
The Public |
Employee
By Dr. Frank L. Tolman
President, The Civil Service Employ~
tes Association, Inc., and Member
of Employees’ Merit Award Board.
THE BEST POSSIBLE PUBLIC SERVICE
HAPPY New Year! rs
The 40,000 and more ‘members of the Civil Service
Employees Association rightly look to their Association to
do everything possible to make the year 1949 a happy one,
The members can, I think, count on their officers to labor
day and night for their common welfare. The officers cannot
promise universal success, but they can promise unceasing
effort.
In my philosophy, I hold the welfare of public employees
to be important, because the welfare of all the people, and
the proper and efficient functioning of our democracy de-
pends largely on the kind of jobs and services turned out
by all the servants of the people.
What Government Is in Essence
It cannot too often be repeated that good government
is important. Governor Dewey once said that the govern-
ment is, in essence, what all the thousands of public em-
ployees are and do.
We have the testimony of Governor Dewey as to what
the public employees of New York State are and how well
they do their jobs, and his statements should bear weight,
“New York,” wrote the Governor, “is fortunate in hay-
ing an incomparable civil service group. In war and in
peace, they have continuously showed a steadfast devotion
to their duties and responsibilities as public servants.”
The Hard Way
There is a bit of old-fashioned philosophy that holds
that the universal road to success is by earning it through
hard work and self-improvement. This philosophy is im-
bedded in the civil service more firmly than anywhere else,
and is one reason for the vitality of the merit principle.
As a civil service association, the same belief in fair com-
petition and promotion on the basis of performance — on
merit and fitness permeating the entire public service — is
a sound foundation for all their policies and objectives,
We are, I think, right in urging the best possible public
service to all the people of the State. We are, I think, right
in believing and proclaiming that that kind of service is
achieved only when the best qualified are selected to serve in
government positions,
They Measure Up
Ve are, I think, right in believing that New York State
public employees measure up very well indeed, when com-
pared with the emptoyees of any private business in the
State, or in the United States. We are, I think, right in
urging the constant improvement of the body of the State
and local public employees through better observance of
civil service, and the provision of better educational oppor-
tunities.
Danger of Over-Organization
We are, I think, right in feeling that the great danger
of all big organizations is over-organization, and neglect of
the persons who make the organization work. We are right,
Tam sure, in the belief that the worker is the really import-
ant element in all human undertakings; and finally, we are,
Iam convinced, right in claiming that the laborer in gov-
ernment as elsewhere, is worthy of his fair hire.
The year 1949 is reminiscent of the wonder years of
1849, the last great epic of the pioneer in America. You
will be the architect of your year 1949. You can do much
to make it-a happy one by being a pioneer in your job, and
by finding the gold in your many opportunities for service,
.__ Your Association can function best if all of its members
live up to their high calling of ministering to all the people,
May your year 1949 be full of real satisfaction,

Tolman Asks Aid in DPUI
ALBANY, Dec. 27—Dr, Frank
L, Tolman, president of the Civil
Service Employees Association, is
continuing his offensive to do
something about the “malorgan-
ization” of the State Division of
Placement and Unemployment In-
surance, which has resulted in a
heavy spate of firings. The DPUI
claims lack of Federal funds com-
pelled it to take the drastic dis-
missal action,
Dr. Tolman enlisted the aid of
private industry last week, on
the ground that the dismissals
are detrimental to the interests of |
ser,
$04 In
‘ies of New York State, Inc.
of Buffalo, suggesting that this
organization has a legitimate in-
terest in the situation.
Mr, Hilfinger has told Dr.
man the interest is there,
Tol-
iT
| can assure you we have taken an
| active part,” he wrote, “in trying
|to assure from the Federal gov-
ernment @ proper amount of mon-
Jey.” Mr, Hilfinger agrees with
Dr, Tolman that “ it is an unfair
|situation, and I hope something
can be done in Congress to al-
leviate the condition.
More than 300 employees have
lost their positions as a result of
the retrenchment. Dr. Tolman's
attitude was expressed in these
appropriations

War appointments, we suggest in-

Annual Reports Analyzed
An analysis of 1947 annual re-

vice commissions to the State
Civil Service Commission reveals
with permanent employees.
More Recruitment Drives
“A further consideration is the;
fact that temporary war appoint- |
ments will not continve to be a}
legal method of exceeding the lim-
ited provisional period,” says the|
report. “At present, there is no
information as to when the ‘dur-
ation’ will end. The present
shortage is not the result of men
being absent in military service.
Unprecedented prosperity, shifts
in occupational trends, and the
relatively low salaries paid by
job are trying to operate with a
part-time secretary. Where this
is the situation, there is little
prospect of an adequate personnel
program being put in effect. Even
the essentials such as classifica-
tion, examinations, commission
meetings and records cannot re-
ceive adequate attention on a
part-time basis.
Pay for Officials
“A few jurisdictions do not com.
pensate the secretary and a few
do not compensate the com-
ssioners. This appears to be a
poor practice; not that it is fea-
sible to pay commissions’ per-
sonnel what their time is worth,
but the absence of even token
salaries operates against the sel-
ection and retention of those best
qualified. There are occasions on
which commissioners and secre-
taries must make s
contrary to the d
in the official family. Naturally,
such situations may present diffi-
culties beyond those which a non-
paid official is willing to assume,”

Mr. McGee is the third new
deputy to be appointed since Cc-
tober 1. Edward D. Siemer, Buf-
falo attorney, was appointed for
the Division of Municipal Affairs,
to succeed Archibald N. Galloway,
and H. Eliot Kaplan, authority on
civil service, was appointed for the
State Employees’ Retirement Sys-
tem,
He developed a short-cut method
of making preliminary estimates
for excavation and backfill for
pipe culverts. By the use of
curves, areas for excavation and
backfill are read directly from a
chart,.and knowing the length of
cut or fill, the necessary volume
is readily obtained.
“Use of the proposed method
will doubtless result in significant
savings in construction costs, par-
ticularly in view of the shortage
of engineering personnel,” says
the Merit Award Board.

Merit Man
CHARLES W. CHATTAWAY
'HE five senses seem to suffice
for ordinary persons, but not
for lawyers and investigators,
They need a sixth sense to suc-
ceed, Charles Willard Chattaway
has it—the knack of extracting
the root of what the five senses
produce and then adding some-
thing extra, What it is would be
hard to define, but it wrenches
loose the guarded secrets of cyl-
prits and upholds the long arm
of the law in the protection of
society.
Investigation, law and enforce-
ment seem to run in the family
of the Assistant Counsel to the
State Liquor Authority. His father,
as a policeman, helped Deputy
Police Commissioner Ryan in the
criminal investigations that hit
the headlines at the turn of the
century. His brother, Roland E,
Chattaway, is a NYC Patrolman, |
103rd Precinct,
Blood Will Tell
Young Charlie never aspired to’
be a policeman, but fate switched
him somewhat in that direction,
A phone call in 1935 from a for-
mer fellow-student at Columbia
University asked young Chatta-
way, now a lawyer:
“Charlie, would you consider
joining Tom Dewey in his work}
as Special Prosecutor?”
Charlie was remuneratively em~-
ployed by the law firm of Nims,
Verde and Martin, which special-
ized in cases of unfair competi-
tion. The Special Prosecutor's of-
fice in the Woolworth Building,
under Thomas E, Dewey, had
plenty of everything, except funds.
He'd get paid, but how little!
Should he take it? It was a sac-
rifice, but a real opportunity, too.
Racket-busting! The old inyesti-
gating blood, that was dynastic in
the family, decided, He finally
told the inquirer that he'd ac-
cept,
After his work with Special
Prosecutor Dewey, he went with
‘an insurance company, and then
received an offer from Mr. Dewey
himself, who had been elected
District Attorney of N. ¥. county,
From 1938 to 1941 Mr, Chattaway
was an ADA, He returned to
private law practice and, on re-
commendation of Mr, Dewey, was
appointed counsel to the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, heading its ‘egal divis-
jon, with 27 investigators under
him, all of them peace officers by
statute, More investigation!
Brilliant War Record
Came the war. Mr. Chattaway
was commissioned a Lieutenant
in the Navy, Including a brief as-
signment to the Office of Strate-
gic Services, he was with Naval
Intelligence until the war ended.
Here he shone with special bril-
liance,
He was sent to\England, He'd
been there before, in 1929, as a
member of the Columbia Univer-
sity championship crew. He join-
ed the preparations for D-day,
went to France in advance of the
Allied invasion, and in addition to
his combat intelligence duties
helped to clear Cherbourg harbor
of mines laid by the Germans,
Thus he contributed to the extra~
ordinarily safe landings of the
invaders, And he went right on
with the invasion forces, into Ger-
many.
He was cited by Admiral Stark
for outstanding performance of
duty under fire and received the
Navy's highest efficiency rating,
Back in the U.S., after the war,
now a Lieutenant Commander, he
was discharged, He married Rob-
erta Quinn, a former Wave, but
this was the era of no house, no
shoes and no shirts, so he ac-
cepted the job of Legal Adviser
to the military government in
| Germany, and over he went, tak-
ing his new wife with him, He
rode the circuit as a judge and
was a member of courts that tried
capital cases,
Takes Liquor Authority Post
When he returned to the United
States after his judicial experi-
ence, Governor Dewey asked him
to become Associate, Counsel to
In talks before chapters of The
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion, delivered at locations
throughout the State, William F.
McDonough, Field Representative,
has stressed the need of strength-
ening and protecting the merit
system, He only recently ad-
dressed the annual dinner of the
Jefferson County chapter,
Mr. McDonough stated that the
outstanding need of the day was
citizen recognition of the fact that
civil government in any progres-
sive society is a vital day-to-day
big business as well as a political
matter. ;
“Basic laws protective of life,
liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness may be interesting and in-
spiring as Mterary successes, but
they are useless as a means of
aiding human achievement unless
the political objectives outlined

tice,” he said,
“The benefits of government
are not realized within our State
unless the men and women who
carry on the tasks of government
are chosen and promoted in the
merit system way provided in Ar~-
ticle 5 of our New York State
Constitutiom. It was this pro-
vision, adopted solely to assure
good government, that, Theodore
R6osevelt described as ‘democratic
and American as the common
school system itself.’
Association Grows Stronger
“Since 1940, we have passed
through a pre-war, war and post-
war period, Nationally and on
state and local levels of govern-
ment during this period of years
we have come as near to dicta-
torship as it is possible to come
and remain a democracy.
“The time has now come — in
fact our Civil Service Commis-
sions have waited overlong — to
restore to the people the efficiency
and economy present in the full
application of merit system laws
and rules.
“The Civil Service Employees
Association has increased in moral
and physical. strength since 1940,
and today our 46,000 members and
120 chapter organizations are pre-

4-F Secking a Public Job
Editor, The LEADER;
In a recent issue of your paper,
you invited readers of The LEAD-
ER to express their opinions on
veteran preference. I am taking
advantage of your invitation,
I think, as I belieye many other
should be given preference in jobs,
but I also think that veterans
who are still in good health should
not be given job preference, I
believe that most employers really
wish to give employment to the
applicant best qualified regard~
less of who he is.
As I understand it, there were
about four million 4-F’s who
through no fault of their own
were rejected for military service
during the last war, Yet nine
times out of ten a 4-F man is
the SLA. The former N.Y, Trib-
une copy boy, who had run copy
for such great lights as Stanley
Walker and the late Bill McGee-
han, would again be associated
with investigators, would again
be prosecuting! He uttered an
eager Yes,
He is happy to be back once
again practicing before the courts
and enjoys tremendously the
and appeals that now absorbs all
his attention. He 1s most grateful
to Governor Dewey for his warm
and human understanding of the
problems of the veteran returning
from years of service abroad and
to Paul B, Lockwood, the Gover-
nor’s Secretary, for his encour-
agement during the da:

NEWS OF PUBLIC EXAMS
EQUIREMENTS FOR CLERK-CARRIER TEST
offices will also be filled from sub-
stitute carrier lists of eligibles.
Appointments are usually made
to substitute positions, and pro-
motions made to regular positions
according to seniority of appoint-
ment, Substitutes are required to
be available for duty on short
notice and their employment may
consist of only a few hours a day
or week, Generally, however, there
is some service required of them
every day.
Il. Salaries
Substitute Employees—The bas-
ic rate of pay for substitutes is
$1.29 an hour, After the perform-
ance of one year of satisfactory
Substitute service, including time
served as a special-delivery mes-
senger, the basic rate of pay is
increased 5 cents an hour each
succeeding year until a maximum
pay of $1.79 an hour is reached.
This increase is made at the be-
ginning of the quarter following
the completion of a year of satis-
factory service in the next lower
grade,
Regular Employees—Basic rates
for regular employees are based
on a 40-hour week (five 8-hour
days). Clerks in offices of the first
and second classes and carriers
in the city-delivery service are
divided into eleven grades, the
basic salaries of which are $2,550,
$2,650, $2,750, $2,850, $2,950, $3,-
050, $3,150, $3,250, $3,350 $3,450
and $3,550 a year, respectively,
and will be promoted successively
after 1 year’s satisfactory service
in each grade, to the next higher
grade until the eleventh grade is
reached. When a substitute em-
ployee is appointed to a regular
position, he is assigned to a sal-
ary grade corresponding to his
salary as a substitute. Promotions
of both clerks and carriers will be
beginning of the quarter follow-
ing the expiration of a year’s
satisfactory service in the next
lower grade. In offices of the first
class provision is made for pro-
motions to 3 grades in addition
to those shown above, up to a
maximum basic pay rate of $3,-
850 a year, upon completion of
the required amount of meritor-
jous service. Clerks and carriers
of grade 9 and above are eligible
for promotion to other postal posi-
tions in their respective offices,
and if for any reason such clerks
and carriers in grade 9 and above
are not available those clerks and
carriers in the lower grades in
such offices shall be eligible for
such positions. The salary named
is in each case subject to a re-
tirement deduction of 6 per cent
of the basic salary.
Night Work — Employees who
are required to perform night
work are paid extra for such work
at the rate of 10 per cent of their
hourly basic pay per hour. For
this purpose, night work is de-
fined as any work done between
the hours of 6 p.m, and 6 a.m,
Overtime — Regutar empleyees
who are employed in excess of 8
hours a day shall be paid for such
overtime service at the rate of
time and one half,

of newly appointed clerks are in-
terchangeable with the duties of

handlers, mail handlers being ap-
pointed only to perform the heavy

ling heavy sacks of letter mail,

hundred pounds or more; sorting

Hoover Plan
Outlaws Bias
In Job-Filling
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27,— Al-
though the long-awaited Hoover
report has not yet been issued,
certain of its tentative features
have already been revealed.
It appears probable that one of
the recommendations will be that
favoritism be outlawed from the
public service. Under this provi-
sion, any federal officials who
would hire, promote, or fire a
civil service employee for personal
or political reasons would be him-
self dismissed.
Officially, the attitude of the
government is that discrimination
has no place in the public service,
However, it is common knowledge
that discrimination occurs — for
POUCCR, personal, racial or re-
gious reasons, President Roose-
velt was squarely on record against
discrimination in the Federal ser-
vice. President Truman in Feb-
ruary 1947 issued a flat state-
ment against discrimination in

By CATER J. WARREN
While the primary object of at-
tending commercial and trade
tly is to prepare oneself for
first job on the basis of the
valuable training thus acquired
another reason is to provide a
safeguard for those presently em-
ployed
There are certain basic skills
constantly in demand, an addi-
tional, reason for taking courses in
these branches of endeavor, Also
some persons would like to change
from their present occupation, in-
dependent of economic conditions
They take school training as the
best means of providing the
means.
The greatest difficulty in obtain-
aced by those who
say they can “do anything,” which
employers take to mean that they
can do nothing in particular. The
fact may well be that the job-
seeker {5 capable, ourceful and
industrious, but the employer must
have some proof of skill, Training
is taken as excellent proof.
Study Courses Pay Off
Civil service commissions rate
candidates only on their training
and experience, for jobs for which
there is no great competition, be-
cause the field is limited and the
degree of skill, experience and
expertness is usually high.
Being equipped with definite,
useful skills has always paid out,
leither for original entrance into
the ranks of the gainfully em-
ployed, for transferring to some
other occupation or for providing
oneself with at least one alternate
opportunity for filling a well-paid
job, if for any reason a present
job turns out to be not at all that
one desires
Those employed by branches of
government take study courses to
improve their scores in promotion
examinations and to gain as high
efficiency rating as possible.
Academic courses as well as spe-
cialized ones are taken by am-
'hitious public employees. Efficiency

and official key answers for such
positions as Housing Assistant,
Social Investigator, Playground
Director and the like.
The Housing Assistant appli-
cations are now being received in
The Social Investigator exam-
will be open early next year.
Merit Enterprises is offering
with every purchase of this book,
which sells for $1,50, a free study
supplement for candidates for

ment contains basic housing facts,
figures, definitions, financing, and
bibliography,
ratings are a factor in promotions
in all governmental branches—
Federal, State and local—and a
senior high school diploma is
sometimes required. Study, to en-

‘You may qualify for full sub-
sistence allowances of $65 a month

not over:
1, $145 a month if you have
no dependents;
2. $180 a month ff you have
one dependent; or,
3, $200 a month if you have

ductive labor may not exceed $210
a month if you have no depend-
ents; $270 a month if you have
one dependent, or $290 a month
if you have more than one de-
dendent.
‘These are maximum limits, They
may be lower if the starting wage
of a trained worker in the business
or occupation in which you select
training is not as great as the
maximums allowed by law.
Four Years in Which to Act
You may apply for training
within four years from July 25,
1947, or within four years from
your discharge or separation —
whichever is later, You must fin-
ish your training by July 25,
1956, However, if you enlisted or
re-enlisted under the Voluntary

Sorting
In the Sorting Scheme below,
each square represents a box for
mail going to the cities named in
that square. You will be required
to study the Sorting Scheme and
then write after each city in the
following list the number of the
box in which you would put mail
for that place. Look at the first
name in the list, Harbur. The
number “2” is written after it be~
cause Harbur is in the box num-
bered 2, Leadwood is in box num-
ber 8, so “8” has already been
written after Leadwood,
Work straight down each col-
umn, taking the cities in order.
You will receive no credit if you
skip cities and scatter your an-
swers.
Study the Sorting Scheme for
10 minutes, to get it thoroughly in
mind before beginning to APs

Civil Service Commission
Reminds Hoover It Doesn't
te! Do the U. S. Hiring
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—The
U. 8. Civil Service Commission
called attention to the fact that
despite the reports of the news-
paper interviews with former Pres_
ident Herbert Hoover, in favor of
restoration of direct hiring by
departments, it does not hire
Federal employees, except its own
out| Personnel; and that except for a
few isolated instances in war
emergencies, it never has done so.
The Commission issued this
statement:
“The Commission holds com-
petitive examinations for specified
Positions when there is a need
for government personnel, sets up
registers of the applicants who
have successfully passed the tests,
and certifies names of persons so
qualified to appointing officers in
the agencies. The agencies now
hire, and have always hired, their
employees from these lists, and
fired them also,
“Decentralization has already
become the policy of the Civil
Service Commission. Since Ex-
ecutive Order 9691 of February
4, 1946, the Commission has given
authority to Committees of Ex-
fed Examiners and Boards of
xaminers in Government agen~
cles to issue announcements for
examinations for certain types of
personnel, and to hold the tests
for these positions. This decen-
tralizing of examining procedures
is a part of the Commission's
Program and is under supervision
of the Commission. In the field
service (outside of the departmen-
tal service in Washington) a large
entage of the examinations
as been held by these examining
boards.
“For specialized positions, this
method has been found satisfac-
tory in most instances, Not all
agencies have taken advantage
of it, and there is a general feel-
that for large groups, such
as stenographers, typists, clerks,
accountants, ete. the general ex-
amination held by the Commis-
sion on a wide-area basis, has
proven to be the most satis{ac-
tory and least expensive.”
Mr. Hoover heads a special
committee on reorganization of
the Federal Government,

“At the time President Trim

brought before the Congress, He
addressed a meeting of the!
Council,
He favors an increase for all
employees and feels that the sub-
ject must be considered in two
parts: first, an immediate per-
manent increase, in addition to
the amount provided in legisla-
tion approved in the closing
hours of the second session of
the 80th Congress; and, second, a
long-range study and reclassifica-
tion. designed to bring about a
Permanent solution and to cor-
rect existing Classification Act
disparities,
He stated that the reclassifica-
tion would call for lengthy hear-
ings and study and cited the
practical impossibility of obtain-
ing the enactment of such legis-
lation prior to adjournment of the
first session of the 81st Congress,
He believed that legislation
providing for a $600 or perhaps
slightly larger increase could be
enacted during the 81st session,

The 81st Congress will be sworn
in on Monday, January 3rd and
will probably take a series of
three-day recesses until after the
inauguration of President Tru-
man. An exception may be made
of a bill to increase the salary and
expenses of the President and
Vice-President, as well as the sal-
aries of members of the Presi-
dent's Cabinet and the heads of
various bureaus and agencies. To
be effective during the next presi-
dential term such legislation
would have to be enacted previous
to January 20.
Organization of the 81st Con-
gress and assignment of members
to Committees and selection of
committee staffs will take days
and likely won't be completed
prior to the inaugural. The Con-
gress would not get down to ac-
tual legislation until the latter
part of January or early in Feb-
ruary. Meantime, many bills de-
signed to carry out employee pro-
grams will be introduced in both

Called an Advance
WASHINGTON, Dec, 27.—In a
letter to Senator Ralph E, Flan-
ders, chairman of a subcommittee
of the Senate Post Office and
Civil Service Committee, Luther
C. Stewart, president of the Na-
tional Federation of Federal Em-
Ployees, wrote from Japan:
“The Japanese Diet is also deep-
ly concerned in establishing a com-
prehensive civil service system, in-
cluding a balanced pay structure,
and has just enacted a public
service act which in some respects
is markedly in advance of what
we now have in the Federal serv-
ice in the United States.”
Gertrude McNally, NFFE sec-
retary-treasurer, said:
“The Federation hopes that
the Congress will act as early as
possible on revision of the Classi-
fication Act, using the Flanders
Bill of the 80th Congress as a
base. This measure passed the
Senate and represented a soundly
Progressive approach to the whole
problem.’
The NFFE is the oldest and
largest organization in its field and
claims approximately 100,000 mem-
bers in all Federal departments
and agencies in the 48 States, the
District of Columbia and overseas,
except the postal service.

atiaving eivilian positions
piitary service. These are:
minutory” restoration rights,
‘en provisions of the Select
picining and Service Act of
and the Selective Service
,{ 1948, which apply only to
ees Jeaving nontenporary
, and (2) “reguiatory”
tion rights, based on pro-
visions of the Commission’s regu-
Jations, which apply to war-ser-
vice or temporary indefinite em-
Ployees. Only regulatory rights are
affected by the change which has
been made, and only the rights of
war-service and temporary indefi-
nite employees leaving after Dec-
ember 31 are affected.
Under regulatory restoration,
employees were restored to their
former positions or positions of
like seniority, status, and pay in
the same geographical locality.
There were certain limitations
placed on these restorations, such
as the provision that their re-
employment may not require the
removal of an employee with a
higher retention preference, an
employee’ with permanent status,
for instance.
One of the principal reasons for
not granting regulatory restora-
tion rights to employees leaving
after December 31 is the likeli-
hood that they may build up false
hopes concerning the possibilities
of restoration to their positions,
By the time employees who enter
active duty after December 31
complete their military service,
few would be eligible for restora-
tion, By that time, it is expected
that most positions will be filled
by employees with permanent sta-
tus as the result of the Commis-
sion’s post-war conversion pro-
gram. Employees with permanent
status would therefore retain the
Positiqns, since they would have
greater retention preference rights,
even though returning war-service
and temporary indefinite employ-
ees had been granted restoration
rights,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27—The
U, S. leave regulations have been
amended to provide for the re-
crediting of unused sick leave to
two additional classes of em-
Pployees when they return to posi-
tions under the Sick Leave Act of
1936 covering practically all pos-
itions in the Washington, D. C,,
area, Employees who will benefit
by the amendments are:
1. A war-service or temporary
indefinite employee separated from
@ position by displacement order
of the Commission will be re-
credited with his sick leave upon
his return to a Federal position
within one year after notice of
his proposed separation. This pro-
vision has previously been appli-
cable only to employees separated
by_reduction in force.
2, Employees who, between Jan-
Sick Leave Recredits
Broadened for 2 Groups
uary 1, 1945, and July 1, 1946,
left positions under the Sick Leave
Act of 1936 for positions under
other leave acts (Foreign Service
positions of the State Depart-
ment, for example) may, upon re=
turn to a position under the Act,
be recredited with the sick leave
they had when they left their or=
iginal positions, In order to qual-
ify for this provision, employees
must not have had a break in
Government service of sufficient
length (depending upon the per=
fod in which it occured) to cause
forfeiture of their leave, The reg=
ulations have previously provided
for recrediting sick Ieave for per~
sons under the Sick Leave Act af-
ter July 1, 1946, but contained no
provision for persons who left dur~
ing the preceding 18-month period,
‘The amendments are effective
immediately.

Permanent appointments at the
entrance-pay level, Since some of
the provisionals — those who
passed no test to get their un-
steady appointment—later passed
an examinatioff, and meanwhile
had been given salary increas
they would to the pre:
entrance salary, The Commission
has one provisional clerk, for in-
stance, who would lose $600 on
receiving permanent appointment;
the Welfare Department has num-

$240; other departments have sim-
jlar examples,
No decision has been made by

to where they were. Increments
usually, but not invariably, carry
an employee in the increment
group to the top of the grade.
“I don’t think. that many will
lose much more,” said Mr. Pat-
terson. “I know that some of
the provisional employees are up-
set, espécially as e’'gible lists like
Clerk, Grade 2 and Typist, Grade
2, are soon to be published, and
incumbent provisionals are re-
ceiving more than the appointment
rate.
“I think the trouble is that we
gave increases in permanent pay
to provisionals and now tthat
iriendly gesture is coming home
to haunt us. It used to be that

“So far we have held to the pol-
icy of appointment on 8 perman-
ent basis at the budgetary ap-
pointment rate. If there are any
claims of unusual reduction in
pay, such special appeals should
be addressed to us by the depart-
ment heads and we'll see whether
the cases come within the cate-
gory of unusual exceptions.”
Beside the permanent pay ad-
dition from which provisionals
benefited, some receive1 incre-

are hundreds of dollars beyond the

permanent appointments while
some provisionals are still retained,

Mr. Patterson showed concern
over any large reductions in pay
resulting from application of the
Policy of appointment rates for all
named from a list, whether pro-
visionals or not. He pointed out
that if such a policy were not
generally pursued, there would be
& multiplicity of appointment
rates that would snarl the city’s
budget.

List for Sergeant Promot,
The eligible list for promotion
to Sergeant (P.D.) is being re-
processed and was expected to be
in final form by January 11,
so it can be used for certifications,
‘The Commission got busy as soon
as a decision by the Appellate Di-
vision, in a case involving the list,
made it possible.
There are 260 Acting Sergeants,
or provisional promotees, practi-
cally all of whom expect to be on
the revised eligible list.
‘The first revision was necessita-
ted by a Court of Appeals decision
holding that only one “best”
answer could appear in the official
key, as the notice on the examina-
tion paper required. Of the nine
disputed questions, the Commis-
sion changed its key to honor
one answer only, in each of seven,
but eliminated the two other ques-
tions, The petitioning Patrolmen
sued to compel a “best” answer
for these two, also, but lost in
the Supreme Court and_unani-
mously in the Appellate Division.
