Why NYC Job System
Must Be Overhauled -
What is “Position Classifi-
cation” and What Use Is It?
By MAXWELL LEHMAN
“Position classification” means
the grouping of jobs based on the
duties. Position classification is
generally recognized as the corner-
stone of a merit system and good
modern personnel management,
It establishes a common language
and understanding for all those
who are interested in city person-
nel — the Mayor, the Civil Ser-
vice Commission, other admini-
strative and fiscal officers, the
City Council and Board of Esti-
mate, and the public. It provides
a definite, clear plan, uniform in
application, setting forth the kinds
and numbers of jobs in the City
service, the duties and responsibi-
lities that go with the jobs, and
the necessary qualifications. It is
customarily accompanied by @ pay
plan showing the salary for each
job.
Many Gains
Personnel management its not
the only aspect of administration
improved by a position classifica-
tion and the study that precedes
it. The very conduct of a classi-
fication survey — including an
inventory and analysis of the du-
ties and responsibilities of posi-

State Board Accused of
Using Wrong Salary Facts
ALBANY, Nov. 8—Many State
employees were astounded when
they received the November 1948
issue of the official Personnel
News, to be told that their sal-
aries had kept pace with the
74.5 per cent increase in cost of
living which has occurred since
1940. This statement was hard
to take for the hundreds of em-
ployees who knew from their pay
checks that their own salaries
had increased only thirty to fifty
per cent while the cost of living
had been sky-rocketing to 14.5
per cent.
‘The offices of the Civili Service
Employees _ Association were
Promptly flooded with inquiries
as to the source and authenticity
of the figures contained in the
Personnel News.
The comparison carried in Per-
sonnel News referred tu 1942 and
to 74 per cent rise, The rise in
cost of living began in 1941 and
had reached 115.1 in April, 1942,
State employees did not receive
any cost of living salary adjust-
ment until April, 1943, when the
cost of living had advanced to
124.1, The increase at that time
was one of only 10 per cent on
salaries up to $2,000 per year and
‘% per cent on salaries from
$2,000 and $3,000.
The cost of living adjustments
on 1940 salaries up to the present
time range as follows: between
$1,500 and $1,999 per annum, 49
to 56 per cent; between $2,000
and $2,999, 41 to 49 per cent;
between $3,000 and $3,999, 37 to
41 per cent. Four out of five state
employees receive salaries in these
salary brackets.
The Personnel News item states
that the present average salary
“represents a 74 per cent in-
5 Points a Break
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.— The
“S-point spread” is a break for
temporary and war-service U. S,
employees. This gimmick may
Save the jobs of a good many who
now look mournfully to getting
fired,
Here's how the “5-point spread”
works;
Joe Jones is a war-service en-
sineer, with three years time in
the Navy Department. Joe takes
a test for his position, makes
a grade of 80. The agency gets
from the Civil Service Commission
the name of an eligible who made
84.5 on the same exam who isn't
a veteran, Joe's bosses like his
work. So they use the "5-point
spread” to add that many addi-
tional points to his grade of 80—
and Joe continues on the job.
crease from July 1942 to July
1948,”
Let’s Analyze It
Statements as to average state
salaries to be informative and
helpful need careful analysis. The
Personnel News article indicates
that various factors were con-
sidered other than the emergency
adjustments referred to. Some of
these were the establishment of a
minimum of $1,600, the payment
of straight overtime for hours
worked beyond forty where a
forty-eight hour week is still a
required condition, This applies
to some 20,000 workers in insti-
tutions and some other State ag-
encies, creation of new jobs at
higher salaries, and other factors
which applied to a limited group
of employees,
The “Average”
Half of the 574 new titles allo-
cated by the Salary Standardiza-
tion Board since 1943 paid basic
entrance salaries of $4,000 or over,
much in excess of the “average”
annual wage, The “average” job
in the State changes from month
to month and year to year and
rough overall comparisons can
cover up many peculiarities. In
deriving an “average” wage it is
not sufficient to divide the total
payroll of the state by the num-
ber of employees listed on the
payroll — at least not if it is

The LEADER learns that prep-
arations for the popular Post Office
Clerk-Carrier examination in and
around New York City are pro-
ceeding rapidly. The details of
this forthcoming examination were
described in last week's issue, In
order to help prepare prospective
candidates for this test, The
LEADER runs below a series of
specimen questions from U. S.
Civil Service examinations for
the position of Clerk-Carrier.
These questions have been pri
pared by the civil service ex-
aminers, and they are similar to
the kind of questions you will
get on the examination itself,
The Kinds of Tests
The examinations given to men
who want to be postal employees
include: A test to see how they,
can follow instructions; a “sort~
ing” test; and a test of general
intelligence.
Some of the questions test un-
derstanding of paragraphs taken
from the Postal Guide or Postal
Laws and Regulations.
Try the Tests
Now begin the sample tests.
In forthcoming issues, The LEAD.
ER will supply you with additional
self-practive material for this im-
portant examination.
1, (Instructions) “Postmasters
may authorize their assistants to
sign their names to such reports,
letters, and papers as are not
specially required to be signed by
the postmaster himself. The sig-
nature should be: ‘John Doe, post-
master, by Richard Roe, assistant
postmaster.’ The name of the
Postmaster may be either written
or stamped, but the signature of
the assistant shall be in ink.”
According to these instructions,
(1) an assistant postmaster who
signs for the postmaster should
include his own title in the sig-
nature (2) any postmaster's as-
sistant has authority to sign offi-
cial paper for him (3) no au-
thority delegated to the assistant
jostmaster can be redelegated by
im (4) requisitions must bear
the personal signature of the post-
master (5) the assistant post-
master must write the postmaster's
signature with pen and ink when
he signs for the postmaster....1
(2) is not the answer because
these instructions indicate that
the postmaster may not have given
any such authority. (3) is not the
answer because there is nothing
in these instructions to show that
assistant postmaster cannot dele-
Bate authority to perform other
tasks. (4) is not the answer be-
cause these instructions do not
indicate that requisitions are
among those papers which are
“specially required to be signed
by the postmaster himself.” Since

In addition to Mr. Fox, other

mittee which selected the new
home for the Association include:

State Architect Office assisted in
analyzing all properties inyesti-
gated.
For several months, the Build-
ing Committee has been busily
examining a score of available
sites and properties in Albany,
The committee was charged by
the Association’s Board of Direc-
tors to provide a suitable build-
ing in close proximity to the State
Capitol, seat of executive and
legislative interest to Association
membership,
Association officers told The
LEADER that the matter of suit-
able business headquarters has
been @ problem for many years. |
They indicated that judicious
handling of Association funds to-
gether with a special building
fund campaign during the early
part of 1948, in which all chap-
ters of the Association joined vig-
orously, netted sufficient funds to
provide the new headquarters free
of any incumbrance.
Fine Facilities
The building has four stories,
about 6,000 square feet of office
space, an elevator, all modern con-
veniences and has a small audi-
torium on street level which was
formerly used by radio stations in
connection with broadcasting. Off
street parking sufficient for the
occupants is available in the rear
of the building.

Chapter Membership _
Committees Are Praised
ALBANY, Nov. 8—A letter of
thanks has been written by Presi-
dent Frank L. Tolman to each
person on the chapter membership
committees of The Civil Service
Employees Association.
“Your efforts to explain the
benefits, services, accomplishments
and program to your fellow work-
ers and thereby secure member-
ip support is vital,” he wrote.
|‘Sn the year ended September
30° a total membership of 41,000
in our State Division was at-
tained out of about 60,000 eligible.
About 6,000 was attained in our
County Division — future pessi-
bilities are great. There is room
for improvement. Increased mem-
bership and increased revenue
mean a better job done — the
members will benefit.”
He enclosed a special card to
identify the addressee as an As-
sociation representative for the
year which began October 1; also
a copy of a form letter distri-
buted to members and non-mem-
bers of your chapter. Membership
|reneway bills went to members.
Literature and membership appli-
cation blanks went to non-mem-
bers. Rebilling of delinquent mem-
bers will be made from time to
time. “But the important work
of personally inviting membership
must be done by you and other
membership committee members,”
he advised,
“The Association is proud of
its record — it has benefited all
public employees. It has done
much — much more will be done.
It is an organization of which all
members may be proud — demo-
cratic as to its practices, with its
officers and delegates elected by
members; its finances open to
member inspection and its ac-
tivities fully reported. The As-
sociation urges only what is fair
and just, it represents members
in a responsible manner.
“The problems confronting pub-
lic employees are serious as to
salaries, retirement liberalization,
upholding of the merit system and
machinery to care for public em-
ployee relations. The call for
membership is urgent — the pro-
gram for the future merits the
support of every public employee.”

ALBANY, Nov, 8—Any emplayee
of State or of th ‘ounty of
Westchester, who is or becomes
@ member of the Association, can
secure Life Insurance without
medical examination under the
Association’s group plan i
plication is made during Novem-
ber. The only condition is that
the applicant must be under 50
years of age and not rejected
for the insurance previously on
the basis of a medical examina~
tion. Employees over 50 must
undergo the regular medical ex-
amination.
Low Cost
The premium rates under the
Group Life Plan sponsored by the
Association are very low. For
example, an employee under age 40
pays only 30c semi-monthly per
thousand of insurance protection.
The cost to employees in the
higher age brackets is slightly
higher.
Free Insurance
Under the group policy, each
insured member is accorded free
insurance amounting to 10 per
cent of the individual's insurance,
with a minimum amount of $250.
This free insurance is guaranteed
until November 1, 1949 and will
doubtless continue as long as ex-
perience under the plan continues
satisfactory.
Accidental Death Coverage Free
Commencing November 1, 1948
insured members of the group
plan will be covered in the event

employee is made for this pro-
tection.

tain many commendable state-
ments received from beneficiaries
of deceased insured members com-
mending as to the prompt claim
service. Since the inception of
the plan over two and a half
million dollars has been paid in
claims and the plan has proven
a valuable contribution to em-
ployee welfare.
Easy Payment
Another special feature of the
plan is its easy method of premium
Payment. Once the insurance
coverage is made effective, it is
continued by small semi-monthly
deductions from the insured mem-
ber’s salary.
No Extra Premium for
Hazardous Employment
Thus far under the group plan
all insured members enjoy the
same rates even though thousands
of insured members, such as state
troopers, institution attendants,
prison guards, ete. have hazardous
employment. Employees in hazar-
dous jobs, if they secured the pro-
tection through other insurance
means, would have to pay extra
premiums.
Apply During November
The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation has sent a large num-
ber of applications to its mem-
bers and to its chapters through-
out the State. Any employees in-
terested in this plan may secure

The Public
Employee
By Dr. Frank L. Tolman
President, The Civil Service Employ-
ees Association, Inc,, and Member
of Employees’ Merit Award Board.
ASSOCIATION POLICY AND GOV. DEWEY
HE American system of -Government puts almost im-
possible tasks and strains on its elected leaders, In
addition to the job of administration and government there
is the job of politics which includes campaigning and run-
ning for office. There is, of course, no assurance that the
good politician is a good public administrator or that the
great public official can be also a great campaigner, a spell-
binder and a popular idol of the party and the people.
Responsible and Responsive
The compelling reason for our system is the need to
hold all our elected public servants constantly responsible
and responsive to the will of the people. All elections are
decided, not solely on merit but partly on party strategy and
side issues. We can never make our selection of the best
man separately and independently from our decision as
to the best policy. This results, in times of er is when
emotions are high and nerves are tense, in the victory
going to the live issues of the campaign rather than to the
best qualified candidate,
Dewey Isn’t Through
Fir we should repudiate certain nonsense that has
been and is being circulated, I do not for a minute think
that Governor Dewey is through or that the Republican
party is “pa: Dewey is still Governor of the greatest
of the American States, a job of tremendous importance in
its own right, and he will, I think, wish to complete and
to crown his record as Governor with an administration
above politics and devoted sg dlely to the common good. He
will be more free from certain influences and entanglements
that are a part of party government and more able to see
things through his own clear eyes and to judge-wisely with
his own clear brain,
Second, I do not for a moment believe that the
team will disintegrate or disband. There
in having lost the tightest and most ex iting extra-inning
game in American political history.
The Legislature
Third, I do not believe the legislature will “secede,”
There may be a little more independence, a little more de-
liberation and open debate, a little less strict control by
the legislative leaders, but that is all in the interest of
popular government, and will, I think, be welcomed by the
Governor as essential to the operation of a team which con-
sists not of novices but of experienced veterans.
I think the State gains greatly by this last caprice of
fortune, The Civil Service Employees Association can, I
think, look forward to further team work and honest co-
operation under Dewey. We hope and we expect that the
next two years will be the best for the citizens, the public
employees of the State, and for our friend, still Governor
of the greatest state,
You Have toLike 'em
ALBANY, Noy. 8.—You have to
like ‘em to lead 'em, the State
Personnel Council advises super-
visors,
A special bulletin to supervisors
in all departments gave this per-
tinent item of information:
“Employees function best in an
atmosphere of approval” was
probably one of the tritest phrases
printed in the first book you ever
read on “How to be a boss without
being bossy.”
Yet more people request trans
fers from one unit to another be-
se “The supervisor doesn’t like
't possible to be equally
attracted to all your staff but it
is possible to realize that everyone
is doing the best he can for you
and for his unit. It is possible to!
assume—and show it in your man-
ner—that you believe they're nice
people—giving their best energies,
mental and physical, to the job.
It is possible to behave as though
what they are about to say is
valuable and interesting and not
to get your face and mind all set
to say “You're wrong” before they
open their mouths,
The supervisor who looks as
though he would listen and per-
haps agree—is the guy they find
agreeable. He's the man they'll
follow. He's the one whose opera-
tions are never hampered by sulky
sabotage,
The much discussed “personal-
ity conflict” is more than half a
supervisor's fault.

By H. J. BERNARD
The Dongan Guild, consisting of
Catholic State employees who
work in NYC and on Long Island,
assisted at Mass offered by Fran-
cis, Cardinal Spellman and re-
ceived corporate Communion at
St. Patrick's Cathedral, then ate
breakfast in the grand ballroom of
the Hotel Henry Hudson. As al-
ways, the events took place on
the feast of Christ the King. This
year marked the tenth anniver-
sary of the flourishing organiza-
tion.
At the breakfast Cardinal Spell-
man was represented by Auxiliary
Bishop Stephen J, Donahue, the
principal speaker. He was intro-
duced by Secretary of State
Thomas J. Curran, honorary
chairman.
“I sincerely hope that the fruits
of our efforts will be abundant
and abiding,” Bishop Donahue told
his listeners, “and that all of your
members will take great interest
in the First Friday events that
you have planned. I hope that in
the next ten years thi organiza-
tion will multiply at least a thou-
sand times.”
Others on the Dais
The other speakers were Mon-
signor Christopher J. Weldon, ex-
sutive director of Catholic char-
ities; Edward J. Powers, executive
director of the State Insurance
Fund, and Margaret Ann McGuire,
of the State Civil Service Depart-
ment. Daniel Farnam, president
|of the Guild, made the opening
remarks and Mr. Currant spoke
briefly. Also on the dais were
Father William Kelly, of the Labor
Relations Board; Father Bernard
J, Fleming, spiritual director of
the Guild; Past Presidents Frances
M. Smith, James L. Hanrahan,
William J, Peterson, William A.
Seidl and Lawrence V. Cluen.
Carl Muller, general chairman of
the breakfast committees, who was
complimented on the fine job he
and his committee members did;
Public Service Commissioner
George A. Arkwright, Chairman
John F. O'Connell, of the State
Liquor Authority; Mary Donlon,
chairman of the Workmen's om-
pensation Board, and Supreme
ourt Justice Thomas J. Crawford.
Mr. Farnam stressed the need
of State employees doing their ful}
share in combating Communism
and cited the living rosary, where-
by Dongan Guild members, in
groups of 15, pledge themselves to
say one decade of the rosary each
day, praying that the United
|Statés be spared the threat of
totalitarianism.
‘Storm heaven with your pray-
ers,” he implored the audience.
Miss McGuire's Talk
Miss McGuire said that each
State employee has the individual
capacity to demonstrate good-will,
and, while enjoying job security,
|should always strive to maintain
the highest standards of public
service. She praised the high
calibre of work State employees
perform and said that everybody
should insist on doing a full day's
work for a full day's pay.
Monsignor Weldon said of the
organized prayers for sparing the
United States from totalitarian
threat: “You will win this fight in
the long run.”
Talk by Powers
Mr. Powers, who has been in
State service only three years, re-
ported that his experience has
shown him that the taxpayers
should be proud of the diligent
and painstaking service being ren-
dered by State employees.
“The taxpayers and the public
generally should realize what a
fine job the State employees are
doing,” he said. “The employees
have more than earned any pro-
tection that they may get.”

Farnam, are Mr. Muller, vice-

State visit headquarters annually,
officers of the Association stated.
“Our new home will be a real
civil service center,” Dr. Tolman
id as the contract was being
signed late last wee.” It will be
devoted to the development of the
great American dream that the
best people shall service the whole
people. The Association will now
have adequate facilities to work

Ployees in the same spirit that
has motivated it for the past 38

Our major efforts during the next

to this problem.
Progress Reported
The Commission feels that
steady progress is being made in
classification, salary standardiza-
tion, payroll processing, improve-
ment of recruitment methods and
investigation of the character and
experience of new appointee:
Trailing Unit
“Housekeeping” functions are in
good shape. Service units (Munt-
cipal, Merit Award, Personnel
Council, Tabulating, Veterans,
District Offices, et al) are moving

Promotion Opportunities
They will be the object of most
intensive attention in the months
ahead, The primary effort in '49
will be devoted to the holding of
examinations to afford promotion
chances for those who have wait
ed patiently for advancement, to
give those who seek careers in the
State service a chance to compete;
to make it possible for qualified
provisional workers to attain pi
to replace those
who fail to prove
their right to their jobs through
on these examfnations by the end/ competition; and to place the
of '49. This is the Commission's
big problem—the holding of these

Big Hospital Director Jobs
Filled by Civil Service Test
ALBANY, Nov. 8—Being Direc-
tor of a Stave Mental Hygiene
hospital is a big job. The man
who holds such a job is a policy-
maker, an expert in the field of
mental hygiene, a diplomat, and
an executive. It's the kind of job
that in most States is filled
by executive appointment, some-
times on a straight patronage
basis.
In New York State, the Direc-
tor of Hospitals cames in through
civil service examination. And
the degree of competence is un-
usually high. Last week a pro-
motion list was issued in the
title. It contained 13 names:
Dr, Harold H. Berman, Ogdens-
burg State Hospital; Dr. O. A. Kil-
patrick, Rockland State Hospital;
Dr, Charles Bruckman, Creedmoor;
Dr. Solon C, Wolff, Beacon; Dr.
Francis J. O'Neil, Central Islip;

Dr. Henry Brill, Pilgrim State;
Frank Criden, Creedmoor; Bas-
com B, Young, Harlem Valley;
Benjamin Pollack, Rochester; C.

Dr. Beckenstein, who got 90.758.

Reclassification is a high

ample time. Every operation
performed by city employees
must be studied; and every job must be placed in a proper

the loyalty probe program through

along the line. Truman has shown
no inclination to up the high-

MYSTERIOUS are the ways of
Politics. Before the summer’s nom.

candidates. Now at least four
have emerged as having Presi-

Court Justice William O. Dou-
glas; Paul Douglas, new Demo-
cratic Senator from Illinois; Ches-
ter Bowles, elected Governor of
Connecticut; and Hubert Humph-
ries, who beat Joe Ball for the

proves at least one thing: Don’t

might get elected...

of the founding of Civil Service
LEADER, You and your staff have
every reason to be proud of those
years of service to the employees
of the state, city and county gov-

help to the employees in their ef-

that they, too, have a feeling of

Highest Quality of Demo-

From Dr. Herman E. Hilleboe,

I_ wish to extend to Civil Serv-

congratulations upon its ten years

In the field of public health we
are particularly concerned with
the participation of the people in
local communities in efficient gov-
ernment that is responsible to the
needs of the people. I know that
The LEADER is dedicated to the

THE DEWEY CLUB boys will
stick. And the Governor of New
York will find a lot of loyalty still
remaining where he might not
expect it. Some of the old Dewey
boys will go into private business,
with the Governor's blessing, If
Dewey should decide to retire from
public life, he will seek to reward
men who'ye been closest to him,
like Paul Lockwood and Harold
Keller, if they should care to re-
main in public office. He'll try to
find for them long-term jobs on
agencies like the Public Service
Commission, Commission Against
Discrimination, the Port of New
York Authority, State Power Au-
thority,
THE GOP politicians will start
needling Dewey now. He won't
have an easy time with the Legis-
lature. These are the same men
who were boasting about what a
“smart” campaign was being
waged. Now they're blaming Dew-
ey for the loss of legislative seats.
Nevertheless, this column’s guess
is that Dewey will retain control
of the party.

Mayor or U. 8. Senator, but those
who know him say he wouldn’t
leave the field of law, which he
loves. Either one can compete
with O'Dwyer for Liberal Party
support . . . Another GOP May-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.— The
Ninth Administrative Intern Pro-
gram, scheduled to begin Febru-
ary 7, was announced by the U.
Civil Service Commission.
It will be the fifth year of the
training program. In the past
four years, employees from prac-
tically every Federal agency have
taken the six months of intensive
training in various phases of Gov-
ernment administrative work and
then returned to their employing
agencies. In the eight previous
programs, a total of 211 Federal
employees—159 men and 52 women
—have participated. More than
half of the participants are vet-
erans.
Agencies Nominate Candidates
Each Federal agency may nom-
inate employees as candidates for
the program, The nominations
must, be in by December 13. From
the employees nominated, not
more than 30 will be selected for
the training. Selection wilh be
made on the basis of the candi-
dates’ work records, agency recom-
mendations, written examination,
and personal interviews. Candi-
dates must have had at least two
years of successful, progressive
work experience and must not be
above CAF-9, P-3, or equivalent
grades when nominated.
The programs are conducted
twice a year by the Commission
and the interdepartmental Com-
mittee on Administrative Interns,

tives designated by the heads of

; Expected to Increase
have to be held to recruit sufficient
personnel,
New Staffs to be ‘Skeleton’
The number of Inspectors is
proportionate to the number and
size of contracts, and both quanti.
ties are on the increase.
‘There are considerable staffs of
Investigators, all with permanent
status, in some departments,
enough to cope with present re-
quirements, but not enough if the
rate of increase of work keeps up.
New staffs, where none now exist,
are to be built up with skeleton
forces composed of employees with
permanent status who will be
called back. They lost out when
need for their services ended with
war’s end.
If the Loyalty Board extends
the present activities, the demand
on the Commission’s services
would increase and thus add to
the need of Investigators.
A Signal Honor
A reception in honor of Dr.
Harold Zahl, of the Spuier labora.
tory at the army installation at
Fort Monmouth, N. J., proved a
unique and significant event in
civil service history, because a
competitive employee was hailed
for having attained a $15,000 pos-
ition as P-9, or $4,700 above the
normal ceiling. He started as P-2,
now $1,931, then much less.
The army was allowed 25 posi-
tions, up to $15,000, and he got
one of them. It was in the nature
of a promotion, because he rose
in rank in the same Signal Corps
laboratory where he had made a
splendid record, but the selection
was made on the basis of rating
of achievement of competitors who
included U. S. employees and
others, as the test was open-com-
Petitive. He is an authority on
X-rays and refraction.
Brigadier General Francis H.
Lanahan presented Dr. Zahl with
a framed employee’s copy of his
Personnel Action Record. Colonel
Paul Neal, director of the labora-
tory, presided, James E. Rossell,
director of the Second Regional
Office of the U. S. Civil Service
Commission, journeyed from NYC
for the occasion, The attendance
was 550.

radio station and besides there are
stations at borough headquarters.
‘The Chiefs’ cars are equipped with
either one-way or two-way radios
and the Commissioner has a two-
way device, or transceiver, in his
car. He frequently shows up at
fires, particularly at all large ones.
The notifications he receives and
the return messages he sends, be-
sides the incidental official con-
versations, are heard on the
radios.
The fire houses have three-cir-
cuit telegraph service, maintained
by the department, over which
alarms are sent. However, the
radio affords additional informa-
tion, also intimate insights, so the
news that special FM receivers
will have to replace the present
amplitude ones will settle a doubt
that has possessed the members
of the uniformed force.
‘There were reports that a fixed-
tuned sets would be installed in
each fire house to accommodate
the new wavelengths and recep-
tion method, with speaker con-
tinuously turned on, but these
proved erroneous. The men will
have to continue providing their
own receivers, if they are to tune
in the radio messages.
At present, so great is the in-
terest in what is said over the
Fire Department's wave-length,
that fire houses that don’t have
receivers telephone to houses that
do have them, to learn what was
said over the radio. It is expected
that, with increased use of the

radio by the department for
alarms and other official emer-
gency business, and the increase
of wave-lengths to five, or maybe
six, that practically all the fire
houses will blossom forth with
privately owned radios soon after
the official wave-lengths are an-,
nounced.
The frequency modulation sys-
tem differs completely from the
amplitude modulation method that
prevails in most broadcast receiv-
ers. Instead of the carrier wave
having the audio frequencies—in
this case, speech—impressed on
them by the raising and lowering
of the amplitude, or intensity, of
the carrier, the amplitude remains
the same, and the frequency is
changed instead, apace with the

tions, their supervisory relation-
ships, and the flow of work —
discloses facts which can aid offi-
cials in overcoming confusion,
conflicts or gaps of authority, over-
lapping duties, too large a span
of control, and other instances of
poor management.
The classification survey like-
wise serves as a fruitful source of
information in the analysis of ad-
ministrative procedures and in
work simplification at all levels
of the organization.
Useful Tool
The classification plan is a use-
ful tool in budgeting. It enables
budget requests and authoriza-
tions to be readily understood by
all. It allows the Mayor to estab-
lish controls for carrying his poli-
cies into effect.
What Is Wrong With the
NYC Classification?
The City of New York has a
system of position classification.
But it has been rightly criticized
as hopelessly out-of-date, inflex~
ible, complex and confusing. Some
of the faults of the present sys-
tem frequently pointed out are:
1. There is no single document,
readily available to officials,
employees, applicants and the
public, of the vital job des-
criptions or specifications for
thousands of city titles.
. Many class specifications are
obsolete, incomplete, or lack-
ing altogether,
. Many different titles are used
for positions involving identi-
cal work. (e.g. Inspector of
Fuel; Inspector of Supplies;
Inspector of Fuel and Sup-
plies; and Inspector of Fuels,
Supplies, etc.)
. The classification uses the
same words with different
meanings.
“group,” “part” and “service,”
all are used with more than
one meaning.)
The same grade designation
is used for titles having
widely differing salary ranges.
Many positions of the same
or similar title are put in
several classes, in violation of
civil service law.
Many titles in the competitive
class are lumped into arbi-
trary groups, without any
connection,
What has happened within
operating departments?
‘The present rickety setup has,
over many years developed serious
faults which are now costing the
City millions of dollars. Field
studies have shown many types
of out-of-title work, such as:
5.
3. Employees have been as-
Pica ll duties
Must Be Ove
same list.
Employees with lower level
titles perform supervisory
and more difficult duties
than are performed by some
with higher titles.
Employees supervise others
in higher grades.
. In many of the above cases
employees do not receive
the salary commensurate
with their greater respon-
sibilities.
Large numbers of employ-
ees have been promoted in
grade but have continued
with absolutely no change
in duties or responsibility.
. Frequently no relation ex-
ists between the duties per-
formed by subordinates and
the title of the supervisor.
A large number of men in
the uniformed forces have
assigned “special
been te
details” and are not per-
forming the work for which
16.
paid.
In addition to the faults of
classification, the City of New
York lacks a modern pay plan.
Everyone agrees that City em-
ployees do not receive “equal pay
for equal work,” and that in gen-
eral, their salaries are out of line
with their responsibilities, and
with present conditions.
How has this situation
arisen?
The present poor system and
administration of position classi-
fication resulted from the failure,
over many years, to keep pace
with developments in modern
management. The Civil Service
Commission has had only a small
staff and limited facilities. With
the passage of years, it has be-
come more and more difficult to
modify the classification properly
to meet new conditions.
The City classification is still
based on concepts existing before
the development of modern per-
sonnel standards and procedures.
Board Votes Raises
In Comptroller's Office
Funds to provide an increase in
pay for Second Deputy Comptroller
Abraham L. Doris, some employees
of the Comptroller's Engineering
Division and some unit heads, in-
spectors, claims examiners and in-
vestigators were adopted by the
Board of Estimate.
Four Lists Out Soon
‘The Laborer and Cleaner (Male
and Female) lists will be published
on November 9 or 16, and the
Auto Engineman and Attendant
fists on November 23 or 30, said
President Joseph A, McNamara,
6 the NYC Civil Service Commis-
ion.
“We expect to get out the large
Msts by the end of the year, ex-
cepting the Fireman list,” he said.
“There are enough eligibles on the
present Fireman list to, fill
—
expected vacancies for the re-
mainder of the year,”
rhauled
It has not been completely revised
on the basis of thorough job an-
alysis — the only sound basis —
in almost 50 years. Like the Zon-
ing Law, it has countless modifica-
tions and amendments. But the
classification situation is even
worse than zoning, because the
Process has continued almost 20
years longer. It is now thoroughly
unworkable. Further piecemeal
changes cannot correct the con-
dition.
What is needed?
The City of New York must have
a complete reclassification of posi-
tions based upon a thorough job
analysis. It must be accompanied
by a salary standardization. The
pay and tenure of present em-
Ployees must be safe-guarded in
this process. Provision must be
made for the continuance and
maintenance of the new classi-
fication and pay plan to keep
pace with ever-changing condi-
tions.
Such a reclassification has been
Jong wanting. Opinion of all af-
fected interests favors it now as
it never has done in the past.
City officials have pointed out their
inability to work properly with
the present system. City employ-
ees have been won over to its fa-
vor by seeing its benefits to em-
Ployees in places that have de-
veloped modern plans. They real-
ize that they stand to gain a great
deal by the clarification of their
responsibilities, lines of promotion
and salary ranges.
Even taxpayers groups, once op-
posed, have been urging reclassi-
fication with increasing vigor.
Recently the general public has
come to favor reclassification.
Both these groups expect it to
result in improved services and
lower cost. The potential finan-
cial benefits are particularly im-
portant in the present stringent
fiscal condition of the City. And
the phrase “Good Government is
good politics” has assumed in-
creasing significance in thes¢ days
when the public is strongly aware
of and supports officials who pro-
vide good government.
What is required
to do the job?
A properly done reclassification
of positions is a big job. It in-
volves studying the work done by
all City employees. It will re-
quire many top-flight City em-
Ployees and some outside per-
sonnel who can contribute a de-
tached view and the broad know-
ledge, training, insight and tech-
nical skill obtained by experience
in other jurisdictions,
‘The staff required for the study
would be approximately 60 to 70
People, about two-thirds techni-
clans and one-third clerical staff.
The study should be completed in
about a year,
The total cost of the study
should be approximately $250,000.
Classification would result in im-
mediate additional costs due to
salary increases. But, properly
executed and implemented, the
City will also save money almost
immediately in the correction of
illogical assignments. And in the
long run it will result in better
service, better satisfied personnel
and lower costs,
audio frequency variations, The
frequency modulation method re-
quires an entirely different type of
receiver and is immune from
static, transients and other similar
forms of interference, which cause
noises in amplitude-modulated re-
ceivers.
The frequency-modulation sys-
tem being static-proof, contributes
an important factor where mes-
sages simply must get through, in-
dependent of weather conditions.
Over the radio will be heard
every first alarm, the “All Hands”
call, the second, third and subs
quent alarms, and the Commis-
sioner’s telephoning to and from
headquarters.
A Board of Estimate calendar
item approving adding two elec-
trical workers and iwo radio re-
pairmen had nothing to do with
the changeover. These men will
repair and maintain the radios in
the cars and at the headquartera
and borough radio stations of the
department.
Blumberg
Purged by
TWU Officer
The furious internal fight now
going on within the Transport
Workers Union, which represents
most of NYC's subway workers, has
resulted in the firing of I. Blum-
berg. Mr. Blumberg had for the
past six years handled civil ser-
vice matters for the union, and
was considered one of the best-
liked figures dealing with such
matters. He has reputedly handled
more than 30,000 individual griev-
ances, has appealed before the
Civil Service Commission, the
Board* of Transportation, and
other official bodies,
Mr. Blumberg charges that his
firing, without charges, was “be-
cause I believe in the principles
of honest unionism.” The internal
strife within the union is a right-
left struggle, similar to the rifts
which have developed in many
unions during recent years. The
actual firing was precipitated by
Gustave Faber, treasurer of TWU's
local 100,
Mr. Blumberg plans to carry an
appeal from his dismissal to the
rank and file.
23 Police Lieutenant
Promotions Are Expected
The Police Department has ex-
pressed an intention of promoting
23 Sergeants to Lieutenants, and
as soon as the NYC Civil Service
Commission receives a requisition,
it will promulgate the Lieutenant
list and certify the names.
A case relating to the Lieuten-
ant list is before Supreme Court
Justice Aaron Levy. In a similar
case Supreme Court Justice Aaron
Steuer found in favor of the Com-
mission, The protest was against
the key answ to the questions
in the written examination.
The litigants refused to sign a
waiver of back pay.

The Firemen work two different

Clerk 4 List Are Vets
The eligible list for promotion to
Clerk, Grade 4, NYC Department
of Welfare, containing 484 names,
was published by the Civil Service
Comimission in the order of per-
centages attained. The LEADER
has rearranged the list on the
basis of order of probable promo-
tion, assuming all veteran claims
granted as submitted. By the re-
arrangement, applying veteran
preference, Samuel Ostrowitz, No.
1 with the highest mark, 88 per
cent, became No. 168, as he is a
non-veteran,
The list consists of 61 disabled
veteran claimants, 106 veteran
claimants and 317 non-veterans.
About 65 per cent are thus non-
veterans,
The highest mark of a disabled
veteran was that of Morris Stut-
man, 85.375 per cent, the seventh
highest mark of all. The non-dis-
abled veteran with top score in his
group was Harry Kaufman, 84.875,
in 27th position by percentages,
62nd in appointment order.
The list, with the appointment
order written before each name,

The officers thus at last gain
hours equal to those of Firemen

less than formerly, but don’t have

the departments, in a manner in-
consistent with certificate issuance
in time to affect the ensuing pay-
roll period. By not giving the
Budget Director enough time,
those departments that have been
retaining provisionals have jockey-
ed their provisionals into a con-
dition of semi-security. But it
won't work, after today.
The large number of provisionals
in the city government, still
around 25,000, has been a problem
to the Commission, ,
War service provisional hiring
authority ends with the current
year, and six months thereafter
the provisionals must be replaced.
That requires that the eligible
lists be brought out in time to
accomplish the result. Now some
of the lists are out, but the pro-
visionals hold on, sometimes for
reasons of departmental intention,
otherwise through the delays oc-
casioned by clearing claims for
disabled veterans preference, as
example, in the Board of Trans-
portation.
The Commission recognizes the
difficulty of coping with the pro-
visional problem, and is itself en-
meshed in the preference delays,
but it refuses to condone any
jockeying which elongates the re-
tention of provisionals when an
eligible list in the title exists, and

sufficient number of disabled vet-
eran preference claims is ex-
pected to be cleared, so that the
list can be promulgated and ap-
pointments begin.
‘Twice-a-month Certifications
The Commission wants enough
such clearances to permit about
500 appointments as a start.
‘Thereafter the certifications would
be made in larger groups, twice a
month, in time to add the names
for each new payroll period.
‘The average normal salary for
the position is $1,860, consisting of
$1,200 base pay and $660 bonus.
The large number of candi-
dates indicates anxiety of eligibles
to accept appointment to one of
the most promising titles, from a
promotion viewpoint, in the City
service
One of the questions asked often
by eligibles who are provisionals
is how they can assure con-
tinuity of service, so that they
switch to permanent appoint-
ments without a gap. When the
certifications are made, they are
in the order of standing on the
list, after effectuating veteran
preference, and appointments are
made regardless of whether the
eligible is a provisional now on
the job or not, In other words,

while the provisionals exceed

It is estimated that, under nor-
mal conditions, the number of
vacancies to be filled during the
four-year maximum legal life of
the list would reach 4,500, and
under such circumstances only
1,500 among the eligibles would
not receive a job offer, if every one
who did get an offer accepted.
However, while acceptances are
expected te run high, they will
not be unanimous. One estimate
was that there'd be 500 declina-
tions, so that 1,000 would be left
on the list when it dies, not count-
ing eligibles on other lists, who
are also on this one, who might
accept other City jobs, and thus
nearly assure a job offer to every
eligible _on the new list.
