Admit Errant Youths
To Civil Service Jobs,

Commission

ALBANY, Dec, 26—The Tem-
orary State Commission on Youth
and Delinquency has recommend~
ed that State and Iocal govern-
ments “practice what they
preach” {n regard to employment
of errant youths.

The Commission, headed by T.
J. Watson Jr, has recommended
to Governor Averell Harriman
and the Logislature that State
law be amended to Include this
new section:

“No perscn shall be disqualified
for employment in the civil ser-
Vice of this State or any of Sts
Political subdivisions nor made
ineligible for license, franchise,
permit or other privilege granted
by faw in this State or any of its
political subdivisions, solely by
reason of having been arrested
or taken {nto custody while un-
der the age of 21 and not subse-
quently éonyioted of crime or sub-
sequently xdjudged a youthful of-
fender, wayward-minor, juvenile
delinquent or neglected child.” |

States votes are to be take, In

WASHINGTON, Dec, 26—Sume
of the old-line agencies, like the
Department of Agriculture, al-
ready have reported to the U 8.
Civil Service Commission on the
Administration's proposal for ty-
ing in Social Security with the
U, 8. Civil Service Retirement
System. While no oMfcial an-
nouncement of the comment has
been made, The LEADER learns
that the trend is toward asking
for incorporation of all benefits
in the USCSRS,

‘The departments acknowledge
the benefits that Social Security
would afford are valuable, and
should be granted, but they ask
that the Commission, which has
jurisdiction over the USCSRS,
should try to work out some plan
whereby no danger of Social Se-
curity crowding out any part of
the Federal
could possibly exist,

Employee Opposition Noted

Some inkling that the Commis-
sion is prepared to answer such
criticism was indirectly given re-
cently by John W, Macy, Jr, ex-
ecutive director of the Commis-
sion. In a talk in Los Angeles he
sald there is no danger of Social

Security swallowing up the
USCSRS.
The departments that have

commented on the advisability of
having the USCSRS remain in-
tact referred also to opposition
that employee groups have offered
to proposed integration, Under
the Administration pian, the full
details of which have not been
officially disclosed, the survivor-
ship benefits of Socinl Security
would be added, the USCSRS
pension would be reduced by the
amount of the Social Security
pension, leaving the total at least
equal to the present, the employ-
ees would pay not more than now,
except when Social Security rates
go up for nll, and the ultimate
pension might be 6 or 8 percent
higher

Pension Rise Sought

question of Social Security and}

In the first place, there is the 40-hour week, Everyone is familiar
with that issue, Everyone agrees that in an enlightened State like
Ours, ts existence as an issue fs an anomoly, But like Mark Twain's
Weather, no one ever does anything about it, In a State where the
Labor Law sets a 40-hour week for industry, and where the Gover-
Mor has repeatedly expressed his belief in the law's validity, it ts
strange to find more than 20,000 of the State's employees forced to
Work as long as 48 hours every week.

Then there is the question of the State's pay level, A fact find-
ing report by the Director of Compensation shows that the hiring
rate for Statice employees js considerably behind that of industry. The
Governor of the State has on several occasions said that the floor
of wages slould be $1.25 an hour. [t is to be hoped that these two
factors alone will be sufficiently urgent to cause the necessary cor-
Fections in the lagging State salary scale.

Social Security

Thirdly, there ts the afl important question of the combination
of the Social Security Law with the Retirement Law, The Congress
has by amendment extended the Social Security coverage to all pub-
lje employees with a few exceptions, (These exceptions ara unitmport-
ant at the moment). A special pension commission is preparing to
Present a plan to the Legislature this session which will bring about
& coordination of the two systems, Unfortunately, this plan {s cloaked
in sccrecy—only rumors about it exist, As w result, the public em-
ployees are becoming confused about an issue about which there
should be no confusion, only clarity. The money the public seryant
gots upon retirement 1s Important, It represents his security in his

old age. It represents his port im the community, there
are all sorts of rumors—some to the effect that if Social Security is
adopted, the retirement allowance will be lessened, They are having a
bad and disturbing effect, The Ge or, the Legistature, and the
Pension Commission should release the proposed plan as soon as pos-
sible to enable it to be thoroughly studied before the necessary ref-
@rendum is voted upon,

For the local employees, the Legislature should mandate that all
local government units be required to set up orderly clas: ion |
and compensation plans. This ts particulraly true in the school dis-
tricts where a hodge podge of Job titles and pay scales exiats, Modern

Increase in Death
Benefit May Hinge
On Social Security

NEWBURGH, Dec, 26—"An in-
creased death benefit of one year's
salary, instead of the present six
months benefit, looks favorable —
but ft may be wholly dependent
on the outcome of the Social Sa~
curity recommendation to the

The Civil Service Employees As-

delegates to the recent Southera
Conference meeting that the in-
creased death benoft would help

At present, the beneficiary of @
deceased employes ex sit
months’ salary after 12 years’ ser~

Civil Servants’

Spare Time

Used to Boost Low Incomes

‘The next time someone asks
ou what civil servants do in their
Spare time you can answer them
With two words—"They Wr k!"

About half of the five million
government employees in the
‘United States also work at some
Kind of outide jobs, according to
® recent survey conducted by the
Civil Service Press Association.
‘This representa a 10 to 18 per
@ent increase over figure” reported
wm similar surveys « decade ago.

Civil servants perform official
@uties that fall under some 3,000
separate job titles ranging, in the
alphabetical extremities, from ac-
@ount clerk to Youth Commission
representative. In their sparetime
eccupations, however, the range
fs relatively narrow, with selling

fm various form far exceeding the |

ethers,
‘Profitable Hobby’

Public jobholders in profes-
tonal or technical flelds usually
@upplement incomes by perform-
my their services privately. A few
employees have small business,
eften tended full time by other
Members of the family. Some are
eccupied in their spare time with
work in the “profitable-hobby”
@lasa, Most of the other extra Job-
holders make selling their avoca-
fon, the CSPA qurvey shows.

Legal counselling leads in the
@ategory of professional services.

Many government Inwyers are al- |

o insurance brokers or agents.
Accountants service smal! bustnes-
tes. Engineers and architects
@raw up plana and anlyses for
private clients, Many of thone
professional and technical aides,
including also chemists, social
Workers, psychologists, may hold
down part-time teaching Jobs. A
few of them make extra money
by writing for -sublications in
their respective fields.

Policemen and firemen hire out
&e occasional special guards for
Private institutions and sports
arenas. Maintenance workers tend
and repair various technological
eauipment in private Industry,

Belling Is Foremost

But for the bulk of non-pro-
fessional civil service personnel,
gelling provides the main source
@f the “extra” income.

Most popular in this group, the

survey shows, ls work in which
individuals can pick thelr own
hours, crowding them all into
week-ends or one to three nights
& week, sometimes merging social
activity with money-making,

One of the newer firms offering
such conditions to spare-time
workers reports {it has over 200
civil service employees on {ta pay-
Tolls, almost all of them women.
This company, Tupperware Home
Parties Inc., of Orlando Fie,
which markets polyethylene pias-
tics kitchenware, set up dealer-
ships for women who demonstrate
the articles at home parties,

Tt ts believed that the popularity
and success of such new selling
Plans among government employ-
een are due largely to the socta)
nature of much civil service em-
ployment with tts large-scale per-
sonnels and group organizations.

A number of firms reporting in
the survey found that civil ser-
vice workers were desirable part-
time representatives because of
thelr “reliability” and “reular-
tty.” As a group, their records
showed greater continulty In atay-
ing with “extra-money” Jobs, the
companies pointed out.

|Harriman Attends
State Dept. Party

| ALBANY, Dec, 26— Governor
Averell Harriman attended the
Christmas party given by Sec-

retary of State Carmine DeSapio,
the first time that a Governor has
attended = party given by that
branch of government. Governor
Harriman stayed half an hour,
and chatted with employees.

The party was marked by cock~-
tails, a dinner, and entertainment
and dance, Employees of the de
partment did the entertaining,
among them Erma Bruce, Ann
Mayor and Ken Sullivan

ER weekly.

The efficient trained reader
foes into a written civil service
test with a 10-point advantage,
says Robert M. Phillips, director
of Adult Reading Improvement
Program at 11 West 42nd Street,
NYC. What most peovle don't
realize, he points out, ie that the
average examination is at least
aa much a« test of reading ability
an it in w test of skills and knowl-
edge.

Raising Reading Speed

Even more important, Mr, Phil-
Mpe added, persons don't realize
that it is now possible for the
average reader to double his read-
ing speed and increase his com-
prehension in a short time, un-
derstand faster and remember
more. Top business executives by
the hundreds have been finding
this out for themselves by taking
10 or 12 session-courses and one
big firm after another has had
employees and executives take
much courses,

“Among our students have been
Accountants, engineers, advertis-

ing and sales executives, postal
clerks and others,” says Mr. Phil-
ps. “Almost all of them start at
about 250 words a minute (sev-
enth grade level) or leas and end
up at anywhere from 375 to 600
words a minute, with increased
comprehension.
Special Machines

“Bpecially-developed reading
training machines and new tech-
niques of reading are the reason.
One machine, the tachistoscopes,
which was first developed y the
Alr Force, increases the eye-span
(you see more words at a ginnce
when you read) and quickens
your perception (you see them
faster and hold on to them bet-
ter); another, the electric acceler-
ator, pushes you ahend as you
read and prevents your looking
back—a frequent cause of slow-
ness, The whole iden is to set up
a new pattern of reading ao that
your eyes take in more words and
your mind absorbs more !dess.

Too Many Have to Work
Too Much Just to Live

no survey of how civil service workers spend their
spare time reveals that more than half of them in all
political divisions, federal, city and county, spend this
time supplementing their incomes,

These civil servants take salesman jobs, work In
shops, and employ their particular skills in many ways to
boost their earnings.

This situation again highlights the fact that many
government salaries are sub-standard.

When income is too low, as it is now in so many
eases, the public employee is deprived of one of America’s
greatest assets—leisure time.

We suggest that both Democratic and Republican
legislators who tout the advantages of New York State
take a good look at their public servants to see if they
are enjoying the same opportunities for the “good life”
afforded to millions of other New Yorkers,

Wagner Is Encouraging
On General 40-Hour Week

hile the statement made by Mayor Robert F. Wag-

ner that the general 40-hour week can not be in-
stituted under the current NYC budget proved disappoint-
ing to employees, they were encouraged by the interest
the Mayor showed, His intimation that at least a start
toward that goal may be accomplished under the next
budget proved heartening,

Meanwhile, however, it would be possible to extend
the 40-hour week in cases where there would be no or
little extra cost, as In the Hospitals Department. This
should be done,

More Liberalization
Marks Federal Service
igns of liberalization of Federal civil service continue.

S Temporaries are to be admitted to permanency, if
they meet the same minimum requirement imposed on
others; no second probationary period need be served by
an employee who is appointed to a different job, from a
competitive register, if he satisfactorily completed his
probation in his former job.

The advances constitute enlightened action,

Social Security Stirs
Record Reader Interest

othing that The LEADER has published in the more
than 15 years of its existence has evoked as many
letiers from readers as have the news stories, articles and
comments on combining Socia) Security in some way with
existing State and local government retirement systems,
Some form of combination appears to be favored, but
opinion is sharply divided on what the terms ahould be,

jto duty will not matter.

TO THE EDITOR

WHY SENIOR CLERKS
SEEK HIGHER PAY

Editor, The LEADER:

T am a senior clerk in the NYC
Welfare Department, In the re-
classification, senior clerks were
the only employees whose wages
were downgraded. Other employ-
ees received raises up to $1,400,

The work of a senior clerk var-
fes only slightly from that of SI
supervising clerk. In many ofMf-
ves, the only time you can dif-
ferentinte one from the other is

on pay day, The supervising
clerks receive $1,400 more n year. |

The reclassification virtually
eliminates mass promotions, |
which will be made only to fl |
vacancies created by. retirements, |
deaths, firings and resienatio
‘The average senicr clerk will re-
main a senior clerk until he re-
tires, dies or is fired The quantity
or quality of his work will be im- |
material, His loyalty and devotion

We ask treatment comparable
to that accorded other clerical
employees.

In Chicago, Hi,, the police commissioner ordered « survey to find
out whether members of his force are viointing the city code and
police department rules requiring city residence. The fact that the
elty code permits Chicago school teachers to live outside the city hag
brought resentment from policemen who contend that they should
also have the option of living In the suburbs, the Assembly said.

In the Chicago survey, each policeman has been asked to submit
‘A report Noting his home address, the address of his family, and the
address to which his city vehicle license and his driver's license are
issued. He must also say whether he is registered to vote at that
address and whether he gets city utility services there.

Non-resident police face dismissal If it is found that they do not
live in Chicago, but the commissioner has said that he will allow @
non-resident time to move into the city before bringing chiurges,

Newark, N.J., tabulated results when all city employees answered
fa questionnaire on which one Item asked for a bonafide residence
address, The results showed that one out of every eleven made their
homes outside Newark, thus violating » municipal ordinance, A bon
fide city residence is required in Newark as a condition of employ-
ment, but department heads can give special permission for outalde
residence for special reasons, such as health, Yet the city administra-
tion found that only a few of the more than 550 local employees re-
porting non-residence had ever been given permission to live out of
town.

While considering a new residence policy, Newark sought to find
out what other citles of similar size were doing about the matter. The
following four cities reported that they are now enforcing residence
requirements: Rochester and Buffalo, N.Y,; Cincinnati, O.; and Pitte-
burgh,Pa,

On the other side of the picture, some suburbs have policemen whe
live outside thelr borders but for different reasons and without vie~
lating any rules. The average home in some of those localities may
cost $30,000 and up, and members.of the police force simply could
not afford to live In the town where they work.

NYC ts considering m bill to repeal the Lyons Residence Law,
A public hearing, held recently, showed # strong sentiment for ree
peal, among civil, professional and other groups.

Police Have Portable Rogue's Gallery

SQUAD CAR AND DETECTIVE DETAILS in Pittsburgh, Pa,
now carry pocket-size rogue’s galleries for on-the-spot identification
checks of known criminals, according to the International City Man-
agers’ Association,

Two hundred and fifty copies of the four-by-five-inch booklets
are in datly use. They were originally designed as a way that new
officers could become familiar with known criminals in the Pittsburgh
area without spending a long time at the central "mug files.”

The pages are held together by  loose-leal notebook ring, which
makes frequent changes easy. New entries of released person with
criminal records are added regularly, and photographs of appre-
headed criminals removed.

Right now about 170 safecrackers, all now outside custody, are
contained in the booklet. Plans are for more pages to cover burglars,
stick-up men, pickpockets, morals offenders, and other criminals,

have voted for supplementation,

Ramifications

Under the Federal jaw, public
employees who were not eligible
to membership in, or even if eligi-
ble but never joined a publie em-
ployee retirement system, could be
covered by Social Security by ox-
clusion of titles from eligibility.
Later the Federal law was amend-
ed, 20 that a member ef public
employes system could be in-
eluded in Social Seourity alse,
solely on the basis of his public
dob, Of course hundreds of thou-
sands of them were included as
voter: who had Social Seourity
during thelr war serviow, full tax,
both aides, paid by the Govern-
ment, until last June 30, M@till
others were included because ef
outaide jobs they held while
working for the public employer,
or any jobs, full-time or ether-
wise, that they held before they
accepted public employment,

To be able to cover under #o-
otal Beourlty members of « pub-
Me employee retirement system, «
State must pass enabling legisia~
tion, and algn an agreement with
the Federal Government (Depart-
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare). Such enabling legisla-
tion is what is to be proposed by
the Harriman Administration in
New York State. The principle is
backed also by the Republican
majority. No specific plan has
been mentioned, nor eost stated,
just the principle approved, by
both political sides.

Once enabling legislation te
acted, employees would vote in a
referendum, by pension groups, as
te whether they would accept one
plan of another, or possibly the
single plan offered.

Referendum Required

The Federal law requires sush
& referendum. Therefore the ar-
wument, raised by some readers
of The LEADER, that an attempt
might be made to force Social Be
e@urity upon « minority, of “yp”
employees out of valuable benefits
and rights, does not hold, The
question is, rather, how good «

deal can the employees get from
the State, on some basis of eom-
bining Social Security with pres-
ent public employees pension sya-
tems. They may succeed in get-
ting even better than what the
Pension Commission may recom-
mend.

No matter what the Pension
Commission recommends, or what
bill or bills are before the Legis-
lature, there is bound to be con-
aiderable opposition. The whole
subject is extremely controversial,
Employees naturally would vote
in thelr personal best interest, not
necessarily in the best interests
of the majority. Whatever one
Penaion group votes will be bind-
ing on all members of that group.
Hence how such groupe shall be
constituted will be an {mportant
question, too. A staff of « single
imatitution, lke Btate college,
might comprise one small pension
group, while all the members of
® large department might eom~-
pose another.

CBEA Names Committee
The Civil Service Employees
Association has appointed a spe-
eal committee to consider the
whole subject. The committer
consists of Charles C. Dubuar,
chairman; William Dugan, Jesse
3B, McFarland, John P. Quinn, J.

The drive for more than bare

especially as some States have
full supplementation plan, and
others, like Folrida and Rhode Is-

supplementation, meaning that

Lesisiation Awaited — Georgia
Legislature to consider # bill next
month, to permit a referendum
on excluding titles from State and
local eligibilty to pensions, so So-
cial Security can apply. Illinois,
like the Federal Government,
does provide some modest survi-
vorship benefits, recently {m-
proved, that nearly all other pub-
lic employee systems do not pro-
vide at all, except for life insur-
ance based on salary, Tlinols has
exchided titles, under which more
than 8,000 employees have Social
Security; New York State has
done likewise, to cover 1 ',000.

Social Security Substituted —
Maine repealed its pension system
and substituted Social Security
except for.employenn of the Un!-
versity of Maine, who have sup-
plementation. Utah did Mkewise,
except for employees of State
prisons, adult probation, and pa-

| Tole bourds, who will hold « ref-

erendum of supplementation.
Substitution Without Referen-
dum—Idaho substituted Social
Security without referendum, be-
cnuse ft neted before the Federal
law required a referendum.
Supplementation Referenda Are
Coming—Callfornin, Missourl
Policemen and Firemen Out
Under the Federal law, police-
men and firemen are excluded. In
general, they oppose any connec-
tion with Social Security, Other
opponents Include large teacher
Organizations, and postal em-
ployees, Letters The LEADER has
been receiving show that some
employees want Social Security
benefits on the best terms on
which they ean get them, others

Juring them, because possibly de-
nying them the opportunity of
adding the benefits of Social Se~
curity pension to thelr public em
ployee pension, an advantage
that might cease ultimately, une
der integration, but not under
supplementation,
Retroactive Clause

Where Integration has been ef-
| fectuated In other States, Social
| Becusity benefits became retroac-
| tive, In some cases to 1951, hence
| employees did not have to start
| from scratch to bulld up Social
Security coverage. This retrone-
tive feature would take care of
those who have paid Social Se-
curity tax from salary during the
{intervening years, but evidently
would mean that others to share
the benefit equally, would have
to pay retroactively, In other
| words, employees coming under
Social Security for the first time
would be subject to tax for, say,
| 1951-56, If they cared to pay tt,
to equalize their pension benefit
with that of the others,

RESEARCH REPORT

BY F. HENRY GALPIN

| Mr. Galpin is the salary research analyst of the Civil Serv-
jlee Employees Association. The LEADER plans to run these
| Research Reports from time to time as new and interesting
material is received and analyzed by Mr. Galpin,

| A Double Standard and the ‘Prevailing Rate’

|
PART OF LABOR'S “Bill of Righta” can be found in the New
York State Constitution in Article I, Section 17, This section states,
| In effect, that labor is not a commodity nor an article of commerce,
| that employees shall have the right to bargain collectively, and that
| contract labor engaged in public work shall have the eig! hour, five-
| day week and be paid the prevailing rate.

It seems to this writer that simple justice requires that the same
basic rights should be accorded the working man in public employ-
ment as well as in private employment

This section of our Constitution should apply with equal force
to both the State and local employce as well ax his privately em-
ployed neighbor.

Tt does not.

A State employee in the Department of Public Works, the Thru-
way, in Conservation, and others perform like work to his fellow
worker In Industry but at « substantially lower rate of pay. The
sane ts true in our subdivisions, for example, on county highways,

‘Self Evident’ Truth

The truth of this Is self evident when recognition Is made of the
simple fact that there {s no machinery, State or local, to determine
the prevailing rate for the public employee. It ts true, however, that
there Is a unit of the State Department of Labor physically located
tn the Albany State Office Building in the Department’of Public
Works whose function is to assure that private contractors perform-
ing public work pay the prevailing rate. And of course the construc-
tion wage rate investigators and others in the Labor Department
compile information on wages pald to building and construction
workers for work performed on State and local public work projects.
Ancillary to this function {9 the enforcement of the payment of the
prevailing rate.

Yet the same employee group, the public emplo:
the protection of the laws he ts expected and req
and enforce,

Surely this smacks of the double standard,

From time immemorial society has been faced with problems that
arise under the “double st ard” whether they be social, economic
or moral problems, Double standards are usually and eventually elim-
inated, Probably the major contributing factor tn thelr elimination
is that ft violates people's basic sense of justice. But they cannot
apply their sense of Justice until they know a double standard exists.

We have referred only to the payment of the prevailing rate or
rather, the nonpayment of the prevailing rate to public employees-—
though Article I, Section 17 4s broader tn implication and coverage,

is not given
red to uphold

Eight Little Words

In 1957 and each 20 years thereafter the question, “Shall there
be a convention to revise the Constitution and amend the same” shall
be submitted to the electorate, So says Article 19, Section 3 of the
State Constitution.

By the elimination of elght words in the State Constitution, pre-
vailing rates would also be applicable to the public employee who ts a
| Iaborer, a workman or a mechanic, The second paragraph of Section

17 now reads as follows:
“No laborer, workman or mechanic, in the employ of »
contractor or subcontractor engaged tn the performance
of any public work, shall be permitted to work more than
eight hours in any day or more than five days In any
| week, except In cw of extraordinary emergency; nor
shall he be paid less than the rate of wages prevailing
in the same trade or ocoupation in the locality within
the state where such public work is to be situated,
erected or used.”
Elimination of the elght words In boldface would move toward
| correction of ane set of double standards
