Praised for Devotion
To Duty in a Crisis

BEACON, Sept. 21 -
at Matteawan State Hospital ex-
perienced a hectic week of long|
hours and constant alertness dur-
ing the widespread search for
three escaped inmates recently. |

The untformed personne! of the
institution performed their impor-
tant duties in a courteous, aggres-
sive and smooth-functioning man-
ner, without a sign of dissension
or complaint

Many of the attendants worked
12 to 16 hours a day in desolate |
areas to provide a widespread
dragnet, under the supervision of
Deputy Commissioner of Cor
tion Paul McGinnis

An outstanding contribution to-
ward the capture of the escapees
was the heroism displayed by
Philip DelVescovia, criminal hos-

Attendants

pital attendant, who, though un-
armed, directly assisted Patrolman |
Puff of the Fishkill Village police |
in taking the first escapee into}
custody. The courage and dili-

shown by Del-

4 impressed his superiors. |

dency, leaving Mr, Soper unop-

Amendment Proposed

There is no provision in the
constitution and by-laws for any
substitution by the nominating
committee, whose powers cease 60
days before the election, A move
to amend the constitution and by-
laws, to authorize substitution in
case of withdrawals, has been
started.

The constitution requires the
nominating committee to name at
least two candidates for each of-
flcer post, but if two are named,
and one withdraws, the other au-
tomatically becomes the sole can-
didate.

nual meeting, reads:

“(d) No member shall serve
concurrently on the board of di-
rectors in more than one of the

resentative of a State department,

regional conference or county
chapter. No member shall be
nominated for more than one

office or as an officer and as &
representative of a State depart-
ment on the same ballot.”

The new subdivision would be
added to section 4 of article IV
of the Constitution,

The board of directors consists
of the officers, the two executive
committ and the Conference
chairmen.

‘The official ballots will be mailed

BUFPALO, Sept. 21—-"We must |
pinpoint our efforts to get a Heed
salary increase.” Theodore Wenz,
speaking at a special meeting of)
the Western Conference, made this |
his theme. Dr. Wenzl, a candidate
|for the presidency of the Civil
|Service Employees Association,
traced the history of 1952-53
salary negotiations. He reminded
his audience that the administra-
tion refused a pay increase last
| year because it claimed to be
“holding the line’ against infla-
tion. “But,” Dr. Wenzl pointed
out, “your cost-of-living is at an
all-time pay. In private industry
pay has continued to go up. There
| was little enough reason for the
way we were left stranded on the
pay issue last year. There is even
Jess reason now.”

3-Point Plan Cited as ‘Must’:
fier Pay, Better Grievance
Machinery, Improved Service

bor Relations Board shows that ft
is necessary to set up a workable
plan by law.” Dr, Wenzl called th
absence of proper labor relations
mathinery a “dark spot" on the
relations of employees and ad-
ministration,
Efficient Service
His third point was the neces-
sity of finding ways to give the
public the best possible service,
“This is in our own interest,” he
said. “People are quick to respond
to efficient work by public em-
ployees, and that response will re-
flect itself in a good attitude when
we are asking higher pay and bet-
ter working conditions.”
Hillery Presides
Grace Hillery, chairman of th
Western Conference, presided. The
meeting was held at the Guards
Clubhouse in Attica, N. ¥. A clam-
bake was part of the proceedings,

Federal Scene

SOON THE U. 8. Civil Service Commission will have to do some~
thing to make “indefinite” employces feel that they are an important
part of the Federal Government. As it is, they're out on a limb, not
knowing where they stand, possibly knowing that they don’t stand
anywhere in particular at present. The Commission wants to complete
\ its job-turnover program before dealing with the “indefinites.”

In a recent speech in St. Louis, U. S. Civil Service Commissioner
George M. Moore said: “One result could be the possible conversion
| of over 200,000 indefinites to probational or permanent appointments,
provided they have passed a competitive examination and were, when
appointed, within reach on civil service registers in accordance with
| the Veteran Preference Act. This action would not add in any way te
Federal employment totals, nor affect future reductions in force.”

JOSEPH GERBASIO, of Naval Supply Activities, Brooklyn, has
recejved $535 in two years for economy and efficiency suggestions thas
saved the Navy $17,000. Seems the Navy's really getting the breaks,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21—Fed-

to permit them to use currently ac-
crued annual leave before separa-
tion, the U. S. Civil Service

The ruling was made in confor-
mance with a recent decision by
the Comptroller General, at their
discretion, to permit employees to
take currently accrued annual
leave before separation rather than |
forfeit it. Under previous regula-
tions of the Commission, an em-
Ployee on active duty 90 days
after receiving a reduction-in-
force notice could be placed on
Annual leave only if the origina

one issued. The Commission ac- |

The Pay Window

By F. HENRY GALPIN
Solary Research Analyst, Civil Service Employees Association

—

In the August issue of the “Survey of Current Business,” a month

ly publication of the Office of Business Economics, U.S. Department

of Commerce, there is included an analysis of income payment
to individuals by States, which includes some interesting data rela
tive to per edbita income. For the country as a whole, per capit

income in 1952 amounted to $1,639, an increase of 4 percent over’

1951. Generally speaking, regional changes in per capita incom

paralleled those of natural income. Except in a limited number of
cases, the differences by States, and the rate of change per capit

inco

were relatively small

While there is interesting (nformation relative to total incom
payments to individuals for various States, it is felt that
payments are considerably more significant for our immediate pur
poses, since New State is the most populous State in ‘the union.
therefore total income payment would not reflect the State's economi
standing from viewpoint of living standards by various areas, as well
@s per Capita income,

There are 13 States whose per capita income in 1952 exceeded

$1,800. New York ranks fourth in the nation in per capita income.

Democracy in Action
In an Employee Group

HE ANNUAL election of the Civil Service Employ-

ees Association is an excellent example of democ-
racy in action.

The nominating committee proposed a slate. In-
dependent nominations are authorized by the constitution
and by-laws. The committee did not rest on the assump-
tion that every member of the Association knew that.
It publicized and emphasized the right of nomination by
petition, in fact, almost seemed to encourage it, if there
were any popular ideas on nominees contrary to those
held by the committee. Two nominations have been made
independently.

For each officer post the committee named at least
two candidates, as required by the constitution and by-
Jaws. The Association is now considering a proposed
amendment to permit the committee, in the future, to
make substitution for a ndidate who withdraws, to
insure competition for every office.

Roots of Democracy

The committee no doubt realizes, as all must who
study the operations of organized groups, that competition
for office is a sure sign of members’ interest and even en-
thusiasm, and to a degree portends the future of a group.
To vie for office is not only stimulating to the candidates,
but creates an added interest among the membership.
‘And if the competition is on a high level, without acri-
mony, and with one side respecting the other not less,
but more, because of the competition, as in the CSEA,
then the purposes of democracy are well served. Not
only in government itself must the democratic principle
be enshrined, but in every walk of life, in every under-
taking, and on every occasion, Unless the ingredients
of the democratic compound are in our everyday life, we
ean not have or deserve real democracy, The blessing
must stem from the peeple upward, and can not merely
be filtered by the government downward.

Thanks for Thanks,
And Pardon OurBlushing!

NE LEADER is deeply grateful to the Police Con-|

ference and the Association of Fire Fighters, both
statewide groups, for commen
and help to public employees. Gratitude is easier to take
than to earn, We hope our efforts for public employees
have been all that we intended, Perhaps we can best
implement our sense of gratitude by resolving to do an
even bigger and better job for public employees.

Much remains to be done by and for public .em-
ployees. They do not have the full freedom of action
nor recourse to urgent means enjoyed by employees in
private industry, neither ease of approach nor established
methods for redress of grievances, nor modern labor rela-|
tions generally, This lag behind employees of private |
industry is regrettable, but not beyond remedy.

One of The LEADER’s resolves for the future is to

fight for the establishment of standard grievance “ma-|

ehinery,” which in private industry has proved valuable
both to employer and employee.
Limitations

The uniformed forces are in a unique position be:|

wause they enforce the police power. Here “police”
means not only the police force, but other departments

bad sanitation departments, Their agency is even move
public than many another, and for that reason they are

of pay, hours and working conditions.

Question,
Please

AS I WORK in an_ office in
whieh there Js no higher titte in

occupy, I wonder how I can get
promoted through competitive ex-

am paid by the City, could I not
get the benefit of promotion op-
portunities In the NYC govern-
ment? L.J.C,

Answer — Your only recourse
would be through an interdepart-
mental exam, which could result
in your promotion to another de-
partment, unless a budget line is
created in your own department to
which job you could be promoted
on passing an exam. As a county
employee the exams you take are
under the jurisdiction of the State
Civil Servjee Commission, with the
local administration is under a
County Civil Service Commission.
You are ineligible to take a NYC
Promotion exam as, for civil ser-
vice purposes, you are a State em-
ployee, not a NYC employee, even
though NYC pays your salary.

WHAT ARF the minimum and
maximum salaries in Grades 1
and # of the General Schedule, v.

Editor, “The LEADER:
I commend The LEADER for

of possible new State legislation.
and the need of public employees
fully and promptly submitting all
facts to the Legislators tn support
of their legislative programs.

Did I note a deliberate under-

«| statement, in reference to the hec-

tic scenes that attend the closing
days of each session, and the
worthy legislation that must ne-
cessarily fall by the side, in
the turmoil? It is certainly true
that bills should be more carefully
drawn, even if it's too much to
expect that all of them can be
equally carefully considered by
the Legislature.

Another committee might be
appointed to recommend « reform
of the legislative process,

But the Legislature does a good
job, at that, considering what it's
up again.

LOYALTY TEST ASKED
IN MUNICIPALITIES, TOO

Editor, The LEADER:

The two letters from readers
published in your August 18 issue

The writer who signed himself
“State Employee" is most aia
ous in advocating forgiveness.
wonder, however, if he is not ve
ing the way for leniency should
he himself be called. His excuses
make one think,

The other reader, B. C. B, is
absglutely correct in his recom-
mendation of rigid investigation
But why stop with State em-
ployees? Why not go into the mu-
nicipalities, where subversives en-
joyed the pleasure of surveys and
created much unrest, dissension
and many, many inequalities.

If there is nothing to hide in
these munocipalities, hurrah for
our side, but if the unrest and
dissension are caused by ignoring
the mevit system, then let us not

too tolerant, too much hush
hush, on the whole subject. As a
matter of self-protection of the
| public service, we must all be alert
to the absolute need for unques-
| tionable loyalty.

ONE OF THE DIFFICULTIES in establishing an objective and

aminations, Also, as I work for | Popular service rating system is that when a bid is made for sug-
one of the counties In NYC, and|

gestions, the plans submitted are at such great variance, It becomes
exceedingly difficult—to date., one might say, nearly impossible—to
get unanimity,

Not only the Federal Government but State and local govern-
ments are facing this difficulty, New York State Is extending an
experimental plan, and making progress, But, as always, the problem
of assuring objectivity, or absence of bias by the rating supervisor,
remains one of the most vexing imponderables. For instance, a Con-
gressional subcommittee has found these deviations from prescribed
practicse: Grade promotions given to otherwise unqualified person-
nel; the standing of an employee on the retention register raised to
protect him from reduction-in-force; some supervisors allow the em=
ployee to rate himself, and supervisors use ratings as a punishment
or threat,

‘The National Association of Postal Supervisors says that both
employees and supervisors dislike the present U. S, system of perform-
ance rating, seek a complete revision, and would rather have none °
than have the present system.

POST OFFICE CLERKS, carriers, mail handlers and the like,

2 who would be qualified to take the first competitive promotion exams

for supervisor in the history of the Post Office Department, are dubi-
|ous that any such exam will be held. One can understand the reason
for the doubt, because of what has gone on in the department in
the past, but the exams will be held. First, they will be tried on an
experimental basis in one area or just a few cases. The Second Re-
sional Office of the U, S. Civil Service Commission (New York and
\Northern New Jersey) would be only too glad to be the first guinea
pig.

BY THE WAY, present supervisors do not share the doubt at
all. They know that the depariment and the Civil Service Commis-
sion have about completed the pian under which exams will be held at

Editor, The LEADER:

At the 28th annual convention of the POLICE CONFERENCE,
representing 40,000 policemen, held in NYC en September 3, 1953,
our delegates passed a resolution directing me to extend to you their
appreciation for the consideration you extended to policemen during
the past year.

We fully appreciate the role of the newspaper in presenting ovr
problems to the public, and in this respect,
lent job.

If a high standard of police service is to be maintained,
best interest of ovr policemen is to be served, it ts &
people have full knowledge of our endeavors, for
that they will support any reasonable measure
if they know the facts,

} particularly the review on the founding of the Conference. The dele~

they pass the test.

Last Thursday the Board of Es-
timate approved promotion of 694
clerks, Including 448 to grade 3, at
$3,386 a year to start, and 246 to
grade 4, $4,016 to start. Promotion

tically exhausted. It is expected
that provisional employees — per-
sons who have passed no civil
service exam before their appoint-

the new list ts established, pro-
visionals in clerk jobs will have
to give way to eligibles, unless they
themselves become eligibles. Pres-

the following factors: 25 percent
didn't show up for the test, a much
smaller percentage didn't go
through with the remainder, after
passing the written test, and the
others failed the written test. Thus

the number of failures in that test
was large, which points up the

for a Civil Service Tribunal to hear appeals, with a limited right of
