Good Opportunities For
Factory Inspectors
Appointment and promotion opportunities for those who
pass the July 27th Factory Inspector test are rich.
The number of Factory Inspector jobs is 150; all are
filled by men, except for a few women in the Mercantile In-
spection Bureau.
Entering salary is $1,680, withQ—#————_
salary increases up to the $3,000
maximum, From then on, promo-
tion is allowed to Assistant Su-
pervisor of Industrial Inspection,
nine jobs at $3,000-$3,750; Super-
visor of Industrial Inspection, nine
Jobs starting at $4,000; one As-
sistant Chief Factory Inspector,
$3,600-$4,500; one Chief Factory
Inspector, $4,200-$5,200.
Factory Inspectors work out of
five offices: New York, Albany,
Utica, Rochester, Buffalo. The
Chief Factory Inspector supervises
the New York office, the Assist-
ant does the same for upstate of-
fices.
List Expires
The previous list, established
June 23, 1936, expired last Satur-
day. Of the 363 on this list, more
than 75 appointments were made.
Inspectors see to it that factor-
jes and mercantile establishments
comply with the State Labor Law
and the Industrial Code. They
investigate the construction of
buildings, exits, machinery, safe-
guards, sanitary arrangements, el-
evators, and hoistways, and report
on violators in court.
The written test will probably
cover modern industrial machin-
ery, processes, and safeguards, and
those parts of the Labor Law and
Code dealing with factories and
mercantile establishments. Among
the pertinent sections of the Law
and Code are those relating to
child labor, day of rest, hours and
labor of women, and Sunday work,

750 New Patrol Jobs From
General Investigator List;
1,500 NEEDED FOR ALIEN CONTROL
(Exclusive to The Leader)
WASHINGTON.—The U. S. Civil Service Commission
is supplying Immigration & Naturalization Service with
approximately 750 border patrolmen from the General
Investigator test, the results of which haven’t been an-
nounced as yet, but will be soon. The commission was
put on a spot by the urgent demand for border patrol-
men and it had to grade the exam papers in sort of piece-
meal fashion.
Immigration & Naturalization Service will be hiring
several hundred employees in New York City soon. Their
job will be to register and fingerprint aliens. Congress
ordered the Service to do the job just before it recessed
for the Republican National Convention.
Congress also voted the service $3,100,000 to finance
the job which will mean the hiring of at least 1,500 em-
ployees, it is estimated here. Several hundred of these
employees will be assigned to New York, where tens of
thousands of aliens live. .
Federal Bureau of Investigation will check all finger-
prints in a move to detect. criminals and the bureau will
file a copy of each set of fingerprints in its library where
there are now more than 10,000,000 sets. This will mean
that FBI will have to hire around 400 additional em-
ployees in its fingerprint section.
All the estimated 1,500 employees to register and finger-
print aliens won’t come from Civil Service rolls, though
the great bulk of them will. Nor will they all be hired
by Immigration & Naturalization. The registering will
be done by the Post Office Department, and the service
is turning over a considerable amount of the funds to
Post Office to buy supplies and other necessary equip-
ment. Congress appropriated $60,000 to hire non-Civil
Benvice employees, (See also U. S. Civil Service Front,
age 5.).
For Speedy, Accurate and Thorough Coverage of Federal
Civil Service News, follow The Leader regularly, The
Leader is now arranging for an even greater extension of
its federal coverage through its Washington correspondents.

Improve This Service!
HE Municipal Civil Service Commission this week
began a service modelled on Job Xchange, an idea
originated by the Civil Service Leader eight months
0.
The decision of the Commission to initiate a service
identical with Job Xchange is no coincidence. It de-
monstrates that the Commission finally recognizes that
& problem exists which must be solved. It also demon-
strates that the Commission, with its enormous facilities
for tackling this problem properly, is making little use
of these facilities,
‘Tue Leaver, as @ private newspaper, offered the great-
est service within its power when it sought to bring to-
gether persons willing to make a mutual exchange of
jobs. For eight months, free space was offered to read-
ers who wanted transfers. The results have not been
so fruitful as we could wish,
‘The trouble is not that there exists a lack of people
who desire exchanges. The large volume of mail which
comes into THe Leaver office proves that hundreds, if
not thousands, of people want transfers, The trouble
lies deeper. It ought to be easy to arrange an exchange
of jobs when two people with similar jobs get together
and decide they'd each like the other's. This thought
motivated the column originally. When Te Leaver start-
ed the column, we stated the steps that would be neces-
sary before the actual exchange could take place. Ex-
perience has shown it is precisely at this point that red
tape begins.
A plan vastly larger, and enjoying the full official
cooperation of every department in New York City, must
be worked out. Without such cooperation, the plan
must remain picayune as compared to the size of the
problem, because the red tape acts effectively to block
most transfers, The plan must be so devised as to pro-
vide for the easy transfer of individuals from depart-
ment to department, as well as within the confines of
single departments.
Tue Leaver is now working on such a plan. In a
future issue, we shall present our conclusions, based on
our experience with the Job Xchange column. Until
‘the time that a workable plan is accepted by the Civil
Service Commission, THe Leaver intends to continue its
Job Xchange column.
Merit
Men
Arthur
Flemming
«every hour is precious...”
Today the United States is en-
gaged in a vast new program to
expand this country’s defenses.
Most Americans don't know the
feverish pitch at which this work
is progressing.
One man who does is Arthur
Sherwood Flemming, youngest
(he's 35) member of the U. S. Civil
Service Commission. The Com-
mission is now conducting the
greatest recruiting drive in its
history; and Flemming and his
colleagues are working long hours
to see that the program functions
smoothly.
Graphically, one day last week
in Manhattan, Arthur Flemming
described the Commission's cru-
cial responsibilities to members of
the Civil Service Assembly of the
United States and Canada who
were assembled for their annual
convention.
“In the process of this defense
program, every hour is precious,”
Flemming declared. But he was
quick to add that the long-estab-
lished processes for selecting per-
sonnel by the merit system
wouldn’t be shelved. “Emergency
or no emergency, there is a defin-
ite tendency to keep the Commis-
sion the central recruiting agency
of the federal government. The
White House and Congress insist
on the utilization of the Civil Ser-
vice Commission in the defense
program. Not only do we want to
do part of the job; we want to do
all of the job!”
Speed
The Commission is determined,
said Flemming, to prove once and
for all that it can meet the de-
mands of the defense agencies, no
matter how great they become.
Red tape is being eliminated.
High-ranking officials of the Com-
mission are streamlining their pro-
cedures, delegating responsibilities,
and giving employees all along the
line the right to make decisions
and act fast.
Announcements of new exam-
inations, for example, are no long-
er carefully initialed by the mem-
bers of the Commission. Instead,
whenever a district manager knows
® list is needed, he goes ahead
and announces an exam, notifying
the Commission later.
Five fundamental objectives
must be faced, said Flemming: 1)
all deadlines set by defense agen-
cies must be met, without ques-
tion; 2) the Commission must “go
on the job and stay on the job”
until the recruiting drive is fin-
ished; 3) the best available per-
sonnel must be provided; 4) the
loyalty of new personnel must be
above reproach; 5) the Commis-
sion must prevent politics from be-
ing mixed up in any way with de-
fense.
Personal History
Arthur Flemming is a native of
Kingston, N. Y., where his father
is a Judge of the Surrogate's
Court. For five years before he
was appointed the Republican
member of the Commission by
President Roosevelt last summer,
Flemming was Director of the
School of Public Affairs, American
University. Before that he was a
member of the fourth estate,
working on David Lawrence's
United States News.
As director of the School of
Public Affairs and as a newspap-
erman, Flemming got an inside
look on the structure and func-
tioning of the federal government.
Much of his work at the American
University was in connection with
an in-service training program for

Correction Officers Hit Pay
Sirs; The Correction Officers
Benevolent Association, the line
organization representing the 689
men in the entrance grade of the
‘Uniformed Force of the City Prison
Service, held its last meeting be-
fore the Summer recess on June
18,
At this meeting the members
were informed that the amend-
ment to the Three Platoon Law
for the Department of Correction
which had been introduced in the
City Council by Councilman
Oharies Keegan had been unanim-
ously passed by the Council and
now awaits the signature of
Mayor La Guardia, The amend-
ment removes the exemption ex-
tended to certain officers by the
original law, which did not require
the rotation of the tours of duty
for these officers.
The Grievance Committee re- |
ted that it had requested a con-
rence with Commissioner of Cor-
aqction David Marcus and was
mhxiously awaiting a reply,
The Legislative Committee re-
ported on the progress of its sur-
vey of the salaries of Prison Of-
ficers in the United States, which
has continued to reveal the poor
pay of Correction Officers, by
comparison in New York, It also
reported that it was drawing up
| bill to provide for a fair sick
leave for Officers. The committee,
by vote of the members, was auth-
orized to protect the rights of its
members in the promotion exami-
nation for Captain, in regard to
the protests already made to the
Civil Service Commission concern-
ing the failure to give full weight
to seniority in computing percent-
ages, as well as the failure to ex-
clude every person from the ex-
amination who did not possess the
required number of years experi-
ence as Correction Officer,
Ricuarp J, WALSH,
Secretary
Correction Officers
| Benevolent Assn.
| P. S.—The Association would
deeply appreciate your recognition
| of its importance as the represen-
tative of the third important Pub-
lie Safety Force in the City of New
York and as the sole representa- |
tive of the second largest body of
Peace Officers in our city, By
state law the officers of the City’s
Prison Service are Peace Officers |
of the state,
RJW.
Ed, Note, Such recognition
Tue Leaver gladly extends,
THANKS
Sirs: The Society of Physicians
and Dentists of the Department |
of Health desire to convey to you,
|through me, its president, the
| thanks and appreciation of the
|entire staff for your valuable ad-
vice, aid, and suggestions in the
fight that was carried on to force}
the city authorities to replace the
staff of their former per annum
status, instead of a per diem
status,
While the battle is not yet won,
we have the brightest of hopes,
and we want you to know that)
all the help rendered by you is
appreciated greatly,
This Fourth of July will be the
last In which fireworks in New
York State will be permitted. A
law adopted by the last Legisla~
ture and signed by the Governor
prohibits the use of any sort of
fire works by individuals after
August 1, The prohibitions of the
new law are extremely severe,
Governor Lehman noted this fact
when he signed the bill, but he
observed that it might be amend-
ed later to soften the restrictions,
‘Under the new law, anyone who
uses fire works—even sparklers or
toy pistols—is subject to a $100
fine or 90 days in jail.
Two weekend fires knocked
out a total of 13 Firemen. A
blaze at 1770 Union St., Brook-
lyn, felled Lt. John J. McDonald
and Fireman Frank Andrewsky,
with four of their companions.
McDonald and Andrewsky were
sent to a hospital. A cellar fire
in the Whelan Drug Store at
4018 Broadway overcame Fire-
man William Soden, who was
taken to a hospital, and six men
who were treated on the spot.
During this month and August,

|tional men and it has to supply}
|them the best way it can. |
However, these following facts
|should be kept in mind by the
|more than 100,000 New Yorkers
|who took the test:
| 1, If you didn’t receive one of
the wires, it doesn’t mean you
didn’t pass the test. And if you
received one of the wires it doesn’t!
mean you'll get a job. Many more
people were sent wires than there
are jobs available, because many
people refuse the job.
2, Also, each person who re-
ceived a wire will be subjected to
a rigid physical test and character |
investigation and an oral test will
be given in some cases.

the Commission until all the reg-|
isters have been set up. Several)
registers will be established from |

will be several weeks yet before)
the registers are set up.
4. The examination had three
different optionals, law, account-
ing, and pharmacy. Some of the|

mission decided you didn’t have
sufficient experience in the op-

The whole point is that the

Rep. Tarver told the House that
only seven states are now in ex-
cess of their quotas and New York
is one of these. Among the others
are Maryland, Virginia, Massa-
chusetts and the District of Co-
lumbia.
The Georgian based his fight on
the fact that 21 of the 66 lawyers
in the legal section of the National
Labor Relations Board here are
New Yorkers. “Many states,”
Representative Tarver said,
“haven't got a single employee
in the legal division.”
House members, getting a whiff
of patronage, stood by the Geor-
gian and his rider was approved
with only seven dissenting votes.
Chairman Glass of the Senate
Appropriations Committee blocked
the rider in the Senate but fi-
nally he had to give in when the

The sons and daughters of Italy,

the backbone of your great union

Specific rules on leaves of ab-
sence with pay for veterans and
National Guardsmen on certain
holidays were handed down this
week by the department, In brief,
they hold that:
1) honorably discharged mem-
bers of the National Guard, na-
val militia or reserve corps who
were members when the United
States was at war are granted, as
far as practicable, leave of ab-
sence on July 4;
2) veterans get leave of absence
on Memorial Day,
General Order 4 provides that
all employees enjoy a total of 76
days leave during the year, in-
cluding vacations and holidays,
The veterans and National
Guardsmen do not get additional
days, but merely take their holi-
days on the patriotic occasions.
Employees whose pass days fall on
holidays may have the pass day
changed, so that they get the hol-
iday too.

TATE Aid for Kindergartens will be the slogan of the
numerous Parent and Teacher groups at the next session
of the Legislature,
The value of Kindergartens and the need for maintain-
ing them as an integral part of the child’s education is not
only admitted by educators and parents, but by laymen, econ-
omy minded budget-makers, and political officials, social
workers and business men.
The threat to close Kindergar-
tens aroused such public protest
that people in all walks of life
banded together to insist that the
little child who could not speak
for himself be protected from the
onslaught of false economy.
Kindergartens were established
in this city fifty years ago and}
they have been the model that has
been copied by cities all over the
nation.
In New York State each city
has financed Kindergartens with- |
out help from the state, There |
had never been a question about
refusing to appropriate the nec-
essary funds to maintain them un- |
til a year ago, I doubt if such an |
attempt will be made again. The |
public knows now, if it did not
realize it before, that the habits
and character training developed
in the environment of the Kinder-
garten are those which the child
carries through life.
In Europe, They Know
The totalitarian dictators of
Europe were keen enough to rec-
ognize that the preconceptions |
which hold the mind most firmly
fare those received in early youth.
They have organized young chil-
dren of Kindergarten age into
clubs and semi-military bands,
The opportunity which they have
seized, we must be Vigilant to pro-
tect for more wholesome purposes,
There were those who argued
that the five year old child could
enter the 1-A grade and thus ob-
tain additional State Aid for the
City’s educational budget. It seem-
ed more important to them |
count the attendance figures for
State Aid purposes, than to start |
the child right on his road through |
life, |
At five years of age the child’s |
mental, physical and nervous
equipment is not fitted for the |
work of the first year. The vis- |
ual apparatus is still immature. |
The brain structure concerned
with vision has to grow and be-
come more complex in order to
discriminate between word
Jorms.
While these physical elements
are gaining strength and growth,
the Kindergarten forms the bridge
between the life in the home and
that in the school, His awakened
consciousness of the world around
him, his mental, visual and aural
training and his language experi- |
ences help to build a good founda-
tion for beginning reading, Ey
sight, hearing and muscular co-
®
ination are checked. Proper
measures are taken to safe-guard
and improve them,
I could go on and on relating
the value of the Kindergarten to
the child fortunate to have such
training and will write an article
in a later issue of this newspaper
elaborating on what is accomplish-
ed by Kindergarten training and
its value to the future education
of the child,
Last year, during the time the
very existence of Kindergartens
were in the balance, a group of
us went to see former Governor
| Alfred E. Smith, who was the one
person responsible for the Fried-
som Formula which is now used
to compute State Aid, We asked
him why Kindergartens were not
included at the time of the Dick-
Rice bill, which was the name of
the Friedsom Commission Act.
What Smith Said
Governor Smith told us very
plainly that in order to make
the formula less cumbersome,
special groups not be named as
such, The members of the Com-
mission were most generous with
the allotment to the elementary
schools in order that Kinder-
gartens, and any other necessary
classes like Kindergartens, could
be financed. He insisted that
the amount allotted included
Kindergartens even though the
same basic computation was not
used.
You will recall that the reason
given for dropping Kindergartens
was that the city received no State
Aid for them, and that as State
Aid had been cut upon the advice
of financial wizard Abbot Low
Moffet some activities of the
Board of Education would have
to be eliminated.
Governor Smith went on to say
that if State Aid money was not
recognized as helping the Kinder-
garten, the formula should be re-
vised so that they be included—
and at once!
I have not heard a single legis-
lator say that he was opposed to
State Aid for Kindergartens, Even
our friend, Mr; Moffet, says that
the Kindergartens must be con-
tinued, and that as soon as is pos-
sible that State Aid be provided.
Let us hope that this will be
the year!
If State Aid is provided the lit-
tle child will never be in danger
of losing the most valuable train-
ing of his educational career-—that
of starting his school life at the
foundation—the Kindergarten,

Background
Of The Week’s News
Code Change
To get a license to teach in New
York's schools, a candidate must
meet a rigid set of requirements,
contained in an “eligibility code.”
Last week, the Board of Education
announced that one of its com-
mittees had revised the code, af-
ter working on it for five years.
Important revisions:
1, Eligible lists for elementary
school principals die after five
years. At present, there’s no time
limit.
2. Fifty is established as the
compulsory retirement age for
teachers in playground, commun-
ity service centers, and other rec-
reational-athletic activities,
3. To teach in a given position,
the teacher must hold a license
for that subject or an appropriate
higher license.
4. If a teacher accepts an as-
signment of lower status than the
license he holds, it would mean
that he automatically loses right to
the higher position,
5, Those who twice decline ap-
pointments, are to be stricken
from the eligible registers,
First,Second, Third
Quiet, dignified Joseph Jablon-
ower, Whose name on a one-man
eligible list for examiner caused a
furor that shook the Civil Service
Commission, has again appeared

acting assistant director of eve-
ning schools, with 81.43; and Sam-
uel D. Moskowitz, principal of Ju-
nior High School 10, Queens, with
82.61.
What happens now? Two jobs
are available with the Board of
Examiners, One of them is held
by Dr. Jablonower as a provision-
al. Will the Board retain him?
|Or will it select one of the men

Oath
Following the lead of various
Federal and State agencies, the
Board of Examiners last week dis-
closed that all applicants for
teaching licenses must swear to
an affidavit whose words are
these:
“Are you willing to give sincere
support in and out of the class-
room to the doctrine that political
or economic changes in this coun-
try are properly to be effected by
orderly constitutional processes,
expressing the will of the major-
ity and not by violence?
“Do you subscribe to the prin-
ciple that a teacher should not use
the classroom for the purpose of
propaganda of ideas or policies
that are inconsistent with the con-
stitutional doctrine stated in the
first question?
“If your answer to question 1 or
question 2 is in the negative, state |
here your position on the point or |
points in question.” |

the necessity of enlarged vocation- |

During the week, teachers who
attempted to communicate with
the Board of Education had to
make several telephone calls, take
more than one subway ride, or

Fire Hazard
The City Council has passed a
pill making it a fire hazard to
pave rooms in buildings under the
tontrol of the Board of Education
tecupied by more than 35 pupils
at one time.
Warning
“The primary motive” of the

nig how to cut down the amount
of money New York City gets in
state ald for education,” the Joint
Committee of Teachers Organiza-
tions charges.
The findings of the committee)
investigating state aid will be
greatly influenced by the choice
of the person to serve as director of
investigations, the Joint Commit-
tee believes, “A number of such
quires field workers—is a task, the
doing of which rather strains the

sibility that the whole thing may
turn out to be a ghastly fake. And
|legislative committee or no legis-

City. The results of the 1940 ses-
sion in enacted educational legis-
lation should point a warning. The
Regents Inquiry had half a million
dollars and two years to work in—
and the Regents Inquiry Report
has not yet stirred up a ereat deal
of dust.”

that intelligence tests which
schools used to give students
weren’t what they were cracked
up to be. For instance, they would
ask a pupil: “Would you steal
money from your mother’s pocket-
book?” When the pupil answered
no, he was pronounced honest by
the intelligence test.
“That didn’t test his honesty,”
says Whalen. “It tested what he
said he would do.’

ELIOT KAPLAN
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR
BALARIES—WHO DECIDES THEM
F.B,—I regret that you misun-
derstood my article on “Who
Fixes Your Salary” in a recent
issue. The point is that the Civil
Service Commission can fix the
minimum and maximum salary
level for any grade or position,
and so long as the fiscal author-
ities do not fix any other grade
levels, they are bound by the
Commission's grading as are the
department heads. Thus, while
the budget may attempt to fix a
salary above the maximum of the
grade involved, the incumbent
could not be paid any salary
above his grade. Only after com-
petitive examination could some
one in that grade get the higher
salary after actual promotion
from an eligible list. Now, if the
budget authorities lifted the
maximum of the grade for all
incumbents, then any person
could be increased in salary up
to the maximum of the grade.
APPRENTICES BEING RATED
A.V.F.—I believe the test pa-
pers in the exam for apprentice
mechanical trades are being ra-
ted by the Federal commission,
and the registers will be estab-
lished just as soon as possible,
‘The commission has put a large
taff of extra examiners on the
job to speed the lists. It 1s quite
robable that candidates on the
ew register for apprentice me-
chanical trades may be assigned
to repair shops of the aviation
units of the Navy and War de-
partments, I doubt whether they
will be appointed directly by the
private aircraft builders, but my
ess is that the private com-
anies will be glad to get many
of them and may ask the Com-
mission to use them privately. I
fam sure that if the private con-
tractors desired to do this the
Federal Commission would gladly
cooperate,
SENIORITY RATINGS
T.E.R.—Seniority is given due
weight in promotion examina-
tions and is determined by a fixed
scale established by the State
Commission on a relative basis,
substantially as follows, the
spread being among 5 different
candidates serving from two to
ten years: 10 years service, 95.90;
8 years service, 93.84; 6 years ser-
vice, 91.22; 4 years service, 87.453
2 years service, 82.23,
APPOINTMENTS FROM
PATROLMAN (P.D.)
SPECIAL LIST ©
ME.H—There is no way of
knowing whether or not any ap-
pointments will be made from
the patrolman (P.D.) special
list. I realize that many ap-
pointments from the other two
lists of patrolman and special
patrolman established at the
same time have already been
made, and that it is rather un-
fair to have held out false hopes
to so many persons who aspired
to the special police department
positions, but the Commission
cannot force the P.D. to make
appointments from the special
list until the P.D, wishes to fill
vacancies requiring certification
from the special list, The idea
had potentialities all right, but
apparently there is not too much
enthusiasm about putting it into
practical application,
WHEN RETIRE?

lem, as I see it. Like all service

FEDERAL LISTS
W.E.—If you received a letter
from the U. 8. Civil Service
Commission informing you that
your name has been certified to
a department, it would indicate
that your name was reached
on the eligible register for pos-
sible appointment. Often more
names are certified than the ac-
tual number necessary to fill the
vacancies, because some eligibles
may decline for one reason or
another, some may not be avail-
able under the quota rule
(where departmental service ap-
pointments at Washington are
involved), and the Commission
wants to be sure that the de-
partment seeking eligible ap-
pointees is able to make a selec-
tion from among the three high-
est eligibles available and will-
ing to accept appointment, You
must not mistake a request for
information as to your avail-
ability or willingness to accept
appointment when offered, with
an actual offer of appointment.
There is a vast difference be-
tween the two. There may be
many offers and only one ap-
pointment actually.
(2) Sometimes certification of
@ register may be under consid-
eration by a department for as
much as thirty days in the Fed-
eral service. Another department
may request certification from
the same register at about the
same time. In that case it is pos-
sible that your name may be cer-
tified to the first department
and not to the second one, and
it 1s also possible that someone
among those certified on the
second list might be appointed
even though he were lower than
you on the register, while you
may not have been appointed
from the first list certified. The
Federal Commission, however,
endeavors to avoid any such
duplications. Through coopera-
tion among the departmenta’
Personnel representatives such
overlapping of certifications and
Possible of opportunity for
consideration by another de-
partment is sought to be
avoided,
(3) If more than one vacancy
is to be filled, the Commission
certifies two names over the
number of vacancies to be filled
(leaving out of consideration,
of course, the quota rule), The
department head may then
choose from among any of those
so certified.
(4) Appointing officials hav-
ing the prerogative of selecting
any one among three certified
eligibles need not give any rea-
son for passing over any elig-
ible. The Commission will not
know any more about it than
you, and for that reason can-
not give you the information
concerning the reasons for selec
tion of any eligible.
(5) Unlike the New York
State and Municipal Commis-
sions practices, the U. S. Com-
mission may hold additional ex-
———
Soe ©
aminations from time to time,
particularly for the benefit of
disabled veterans (as provided
by the civil service rules) and
consolidate the list resulting
from a later examination with
the former. This may help ex-
plain why your name is now so
much lower on the register than
@ year ago.
EARLE-BALDWIN BILL
J.C.—It is my understanding
that the new Earle-Baldwin bill
amending the McCarthy incre«
ment law will not affect incre-
ments already payable, and will
apply only to annual salary in«
crements falling due after the
adoption of the new law by the
Mayor on May 21, 1940,
PRESENT HOSPITAL
ATTENDANTS
J.O.T.—Hospital _ attendants
now serving in the Mental Hy-
giene Department will not be re-
quired to take either a competi-
tive or non-competitive position
for the purpose of continuing
in their positions after January
1, 1941. They will automatically
continue with competitive classi-
fication. Only new appointees
will have to be taken from elig-
ible lists after January 1, 1941,
TEMPORARY APPOINTMENTS
WITHOUT EXAMS
HE.—wWhere there is no elig-
ible register in existence from
which to make certifications for
appointment, the Federal Com-
mission permits the depart-
ments or agencies to appoint as
temporary employees persons
who have filed applications for
the examination, particularly so
for the field service. Generally
they are selected for temporary
assignments in order of filing
applications; There is no dis-
crimination against New York-
ers in the selections for tempor-
ary or permanent appointment.

[City Commission’s Calendar
Faking at Exams
Don’t send “a friend” to take your Civil Service examina-
tion, the Municipal Civil Service Commission warned this week.
Because if you do, the District Attorney’s office will be called
into play.
That’
just what happened to Joseph McNulty, Sanitation
Man candidate who tried to send a paroled convict to take his
medical exam. The parolee, Timothy Gannon, was fingerprint-
ed just before the exam—just like everyone else.
Officials
quickly discovered the prints were not McNulty’s and checked
up. Gannon and his prison record were discovered. McNulty
was summoned and admitted he had asked “a friend” to take
the medical for him.
The last person who tried McNulty’s trick got 30 days, and
the one before him got 60 days.
Other items on the Commission’s calendar follow:
Cook and Baker
3051, The Cook and Baker titles were
reclassified from the non-competitive
and labor classes to the Skilled Crafts-
men and Operative Service of the com-
petitive class, Present salaries probably

tors who worked on subway lines before
unification will be abolished, The in-
spectors do not come under the Wicks
act, and their services are no longer ne-

3064. The Commission explained that
the reason for the 29-year maximum age
limit for Airport Assistant was set be-
cause of the extraordinary physical abili-
ty necessary to do the work,
Pipe Caulker
3069, July 1 was set as the last day

Economy Talk
Worries Workers
WASHINGTON, July 1 (Special)
—There is @ real concern here by
employees in non-defense agencies
over the sporadic economy talk,
Apparently the talk will take some
concrete form soon after July 1
as the Budget Bureau is laying
plans to recapture some of the
money voted non-defense agencies
by Congress,
The employeés felt somewhat
relleved after the Senate turned
down flatly all attempts to make
horizontal budget cuts ranging
from 4 to 10 per cent. None of the
Sponsors of the cuts, including the
conservative Senator Harry Byrd
of Virginia, would admit their pro-
Posals would reduce employees’
salaries, but what they did admit
was that certain employes would
have to be furloughed indefinitely
without pay,
Senator Bankhead of Alabama,
who objected to the economy pro-
posals, estimated that 25,000 would
have to be laid off without pay
for a full year if the 10 per cent
cut was approved,
Well, anyway, the Senate
knocked out the cuts, but Presi-
dent Roosevelt has ordered the
Budget Bureau to make a 10 per
cent cut in the appropriations of
all the non-defense agencies, And
the President doesn’t know him-
self whether it will mean a pay
out for the employees, President
Roosevelt sald he was “hopeful”
that there would be no out and
that the savings could be made by
not filling vacancies,
‘The President admitted the pos-
sibility that @ considerable num-
ber of employees may have to be
laid off in non-defense agenoles
and he said these employees would
given fobs in expanding he
fense agencies.
