nd told them off con-

ees, the Mitcheil vet preference
amendment, repeal of the Con-
don-Wadlin “anti-strike” act, ex-
tension of the law providing in-
crements for temporary employ-
ees—these head the legislative
items on the program of the Civil
Service Employees Association.

This week, working against the
deadline of the Legislature's open-
ing, the Association was putting
the final touches on the bills it
plans to sponsor in behalf of State
and local workers. Its program,
all in all, will include at least
50 measures—and it anticipates
good results in the Legislature this
year,

Conferences Held

In seeking higher pay, the As-|
sociation had already held several |
conferences with representatives
of the administration, The or-
ganization, basing its stand on
the economic situation, finds that
a minimal 12 per cent increase in
salaries is required, if employees
are not to fall behind the cost-
of-living index, In some salary
classifications, this 12 per cent is
found to be grossly insufficient,
The Association, while concentra:
ting great energy on higher sal-
aries for State employees, is push~
ing for upward pay revisions in
all counties and municipalities
where it has membership, and has
already rolled up an impressive
score on the local front,

Retirement

A primary imperative this year
will be a minimum retirement al-
lowance for all members of the
Retirement System. A mass of
facts has been accumulated to
show that old people who have

spent their lives working for gov-
ernment frequently end their
last days in poverty, with a minis-
cule allowance to keep them alive.
The Association will press for a

is the battle to have ions ex-

tate Comptroller Frank C. Moore
hhas been especially helpful.

Other Retirement Plans

Other parts of the Association
retirement program include:

Optional retirement at age 55
or thereafter on the basis of
1/120th of the average salary, with

the State to bear one-half the
cost;

Death benefit to be increased
to an amount equal to 1/12th of
the member's annual salary for
each year of service up to 12
years and an additional amount
for longer service.

Optional retirement after 25
years of service at half-pay for
prison guards, park patrolmen and.
rangers, game protectors, institu-
tional employees and other State
and local workers whose duties
require earlier retirement;

The right to purchase additional
annuities,

The total legislative program is
and if the As-
s succeeds in having a
substantial portion of it adopted,
it will result in major improve-
ments for public workers,

Seek Wide Adjustments

In addition to its major pro-
gram, the Association seeks such
adjustments as time-and-a-half
for overtime work; annual salaries
for per diem employees; salary
increments after five years; salary
increments for employees of 1lo-
cali revitalization of the civil
service administration; extension
of Feld-Hamilton to certain groups
of employees who don’t enjoy its
benefits now; unemployment in-
surance for all public employees.

program in greater detail),

STATE AND COUNTY NEWS

ALBANY, Jan, 3—The Civil Ser-
vice Employees Association wants
the State Civil Service Commis-

extending
employees in State and local ser-
vice who don’t have it now.

In a letter to the three com-
missioners, Dr. Frank L. Tolman
made the Association's view sharp-
ly clear in this matter, Dr, Tol-
man wrote:

“From time to time, the Civil
Service Employees Association has
called to the attention of the Civil
Service Commission some of the
major pending problems of civil
service as we see them, The Com-

ission has also in its wisdom seen

sion to do something positive about,
competitive status to

fit to consult us on some of its
problems under consideration.

“T believe it has been demon-
strated that the deep interest we
share in our major objectives
makes consultation and coopera-
tion productive.

“It is my hope that the major
and very real difficulties that
stand in the way of good civil
service administration may be
met by a solid front of the Com-
mission and the employees.

“The major problem is, of
course, the jurisdictional classi-
fication of jobs which can prop-
erly be filled by competitive ex-
amination as exempt, labor’ or

non-€ol itive.

BUFFALOJan. 3—Clarence J.
|Brown, who works at the Buffalo
State Mospital doesn’t feel that
being a foreman for 21 years
should entitle him to be called—
just plain shop worker.

He can't understand just what
it is that prevents the big mucka-
mucks in Albany from seeing
plainly that certain duties are
supposed to have certain titles.
And Harry B. Schwartz, the pres-
ident of his CSEA chapter, is
right in there backing him up.

Back in November, Clarence ap-
| pealed to the Classification Board,
|for the second time. He argued
that the work he does entitles
him to the position of head in-
dustrial shop worker.

Board Says No

‘The Board ruled against him,
however, telling him that a com-
parison of his duties with those of
other industrial shop workers in
the Mental Hygiene Department
showed that “your position is
properly classified.”

But Clarence, backed by Harry,
feels he isn’t licked yet.

Here's why:

Title Reduced

Before the classification pro-
gram went into effect, his title
was shop foreman, Then he en-

tered military service. Upon his
return, he was reduced to indus-
trial shop worker.

But even with the lower title,
his position calls for a working

supervises a ward attendant de-
tailed to the Industrial Shop.

Here are his tasks:

Arranging a daily schedule for
six patients and the employee; sup-
ervising and instructing patients
in various trades; and being re-
sponsible for the production of
mattresses, pillows, brooms, can-
vas goods, window shades, cami-
soles, repair sheets, stretcher pads,
shock treatment carriers, canvas
and rubber sandbags.

Making layout patterns; build-
ing many articles;

Estimating all materials and
supplies for the shop, and main-
taining responsibility for the
stockroom; ,

Submitting quarterly inventor-
ies, weekly and annual reports;

Responsibility for conduct and
welfare of working patients.

These duties, Clarence main-
tains, are far beyond those of an
ordinary shop worker, no matter
what the Classification Board says.

Clarence Brown's position is in
the non-competitive class. It pays
$1,920 to $2,520 a year. *

Tolman Seeks Wide Extension of
Competitive Status to Employees

War II in December 1941, to a
period after the close of the war,
the administration of public ser-
vice had to face problems arising
from the severe competition for
the services of men and women
Possessed of the character and
ability desirable in government.
The application of the merit sys-
tem was obviously interfered with
during the war period.

“War conditions have now lar-
gely passed. We are entering upon
what promises to be a consider-
able period of production and dis-
tribution capable of maintaining
wage and salary scales and prices
on a fairly balanced plane, and
therefore the supply of profes-
sional and skilled workers must
be recruited on the present Jevels
of prices.

“It is obvious that in the busi-
ness of government, the policy
must be one of meeting the com~-
petition for able workers on all
levels.

“Unger-such sound policy it will
be possible to apply the merit
system of recruitment and pro-
motion to its full extent.

Re-Survey Asked

“We therefore ask that the Civil
Service Commission give immed-
iate attention to a resurvey of
positions not in the competitive
class in State and Municipal ser-
yice with the purpose of extend-
ing competitive classification to
cover all positions except those of
a purely policy forming character
as is mandated by the constitution.

“The result of such action should
be to remove from the exempt
and non-competitive classification
as ‘exempt laborer’ for future ap-
pointments, thousands of positions
now in such classes and to effect
a return to the provisions of the
constitution covering appointment
and promotion of civil employees.

Faster Lists

“Tt is also of the utmost im-
portance that the examination
procedure be given prompt atten-
tion and eligible lists be made
available to appointing officers
in all departments and on all
levels. We are glad to note that
this matter is under study.

“We suggest that this matter of
vitalization of the merit system
be made the subject of special
conference of your Commission
and ourselves to arrive at definite
plans for improvement. We feel
that such action can contribute to
the maintenance of officiency in
our civil government and respect
for the merit system.”

Suffolk
Employees
Win Raise

RIVERHEAD, L. I., Jan, 3—The
civil service employees of Suffolk
County have put up a long, bitter
fight for pay increases. Working
as a chapter of the Civil Service
Employees Association, they have
persisted under the most trying
conditions, in an attempt to im-
prove their condition. In this,
they had the help of Charles Cul-
yer, county field representative of
the Associatiom.

Last week, at least partial suc-
cess was won, The County Board
of Supervisors voted to imcrease
salaries of 550 employees—but the
increases were far smaller than
the chapter had asked.

Those in higher brackets will
get from $200 to $500 a year more
than they are now earning, Those
in the lower brackets will get an
amount equivalent to their incre-
ments—$60 to.$120 a year,

Employees of Suffolk, a wealthy
county, have been seeking a better
relationship with the administra-
tion, on the theory that a better
relationship always makes for
more efficient government.

ALBANY, Jan, 3—Bertram D.
Tallamy, State Superintendent of
Public Works, says one of the
reasons his Department has had
difficulty in recruiting civil en-
gineers is the inadequacy of pres-
ent State salary scales. He added
that this is borne out by a De-
partment survey of the engineering
fleld in private and governmental
Jurisdictions,

This statement from the archi-
tect of the State's vast highway

rogram came as nearly 1,700

‘tate engineers sought salary in-
creases before the State Salary
Standardization Board.

Insufficient Number

A second reason, among many,
he said, was the country-wide
shortage of civil engineers, “Col-
leges and technical schools just
aren't turning out civil engineers
in the number needed to meet
the demands,” he added.

Appeal Scheduled

The Department attitude to-

ward pay increases for employees
in 9 engineering titles was re-
vealed as the State Salary Board
tentatively scheduled a hearing on
the engineers’ appeal for early in
February.

Mr. Tallamy said: “The De-
partment will be represented at
the hearing.”

New Scales Sought

The State Association of High-
way Engineers, supported by the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion, is seeking the following sal-
ary adjustments for these titles:

sociate Compensation Examining
Physician into one title: Compen-
sation Examining Physician. At
present, the senior title calls for
$5,000 a year salary to start, and
the associate title, $6,000. If ap-
proved, the next step will be the
allocation of a salary for the new
title. The proposal affects some 50
doctors in the State Insurance

tion Board.

Attending the hearing were
representatives of the Civil Ser-

WHAT MAKES FOR GREATNESS IN PUBLIC LIFE

CCORDING to Winston Churchill, among the essential

characteristics of Greatness in public life are love of
country, respect for the laws, sensitiveness to public opinion,
hatred of evil and oppression, and a great generous heart,
Winston drew these conclusions from the character of a
former Governor of New York,

Many Americans would go along with Winston until
his last requisite, a generous heart, The ultra-conservative
in political parties, often indicate that in their opinion gen-
erosity should be confined to the inner circle or perhaps en-
tirely eliminated from statecraft. Yet Mr. Churchill
right. Our greatest national leaders all deserve the name
of Bunyan’s immortal prototype “Mr. Greatheart.” Indeed
they were distinct from and superior to their fellows by
reason of this characteristic more than by any other traits.
Lincoln of course is the best example, for his greatness of
heart is not obscured by other facets of his character. His
great heart was the key to his every act.

is

Danger of Generosity

The danger of generosity lies solely in its abuse, not in
its universal use; in its occasional eruption, not in its con-
stant rectifying application in life as a chief motive power
for wise action. Highly selective generosity can scarcely be
termed great-hearted. To be truly great, generosity must
be universal, equal, adequate and intelligent. Mr. Great-
heart does a wholesale business in generosity. His stores
never close.

Americans pride themselves on being hardheaded, prac-
tical. Some organizations pride themselyes on what the:
oppose, not on what they fight for, without much consider:
tion of what real values are involved both in terms of cost
and terms of life satisfactions for all the people,

Better to Be Intelligent

It is, I think, better to be broadly intelligent than to
be narrowly hardheaded or over practical, It is, I think,
immoral and impractical to take from the weak because of
their weakness and give to the strong because of their
strength. Justice demands of the State equal great-hearted
generosity to all because of their equal needs

New York State has been rich in her gr sons. Many
of these have devoted their talents and their time to the
service of the State and the people of the State. These men
have achieved Greatness by their character and ability.
They did not have Greatness thrust upon them by their
ical bed-fellows or their party followers,

There is joy in Heaven whenever a statesman is born
and there is rejoicing throughout the land when he wisely
leads his people to a better lif

told The LEADER; “In all fai

The Association has appealed to
the State Civil Service Commis-

Activities of Employees

Westchester

‘The annual Christmas Party of
the Westchester Chapter, The
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion, Inc., was held in the Little
‘Theater of the County Center at
White Plains, and was a great
success despite adverse weather
conditions which held down at-
tendance, About 200 were present
and enjoyed dancing to music
supplied by an orchestra led by
Herberte A, Turner of Public
Works, Assisting in the distribu-
tion of courtesy tokens were Act-
ing County Executive James C.
Harding and Mrs, Harding, and
Paul R. Brown, Warden of the
Penitentiary. The prizes went to
William O, Bouton, Toll Opera-
tions; Agnes Saunders, Public
Works; Charles McLellan, Recrea-
tion; James Murphy and Anne

were conducted by the Unit Presi-
dent, Michael J. Cleary (Grass-
lands), and the party was arran-
ged and the holiday refreshments
served under the supervision of
Francis J. McNulty, Deputy Coun-
ty Clerk, Entertainment Chair-
man, assisted by Margaret M.

County Clerk's Office, and Solo-
mon Leider of Grasslands,

In attendance were various
County officials and high officers

Niagara

The Niagara Chapter of The
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion was the primary factor in a
$180 bonus granted for the com-
ing year through 1949 to all coun-
ty employees, The County Chap-
ter salary committee consisting of
President Howard L. Kayner,
William M. Doyle, Harold J. Mc-
Cabe, Henry B. Nevins and Clin-
ton Hermanson met with the sal-
ary committee of the Board of
Supervisors of Niagara County.
The Niagara Chapter had asked
for a $400 pay raise and the con-
tinuation of the $300 bonus cur-
rently in effect. President Kayner
and the members of the commit-
tee presented facts and figures to
show the need for a salary in-
crease, It wa sagreed that civil
service employees were in need of
® salary increase but the super-
visors adopted the position that a
depression or lull is in the near
future, therefore the employees
should be happy with a bonus
which can be dropped at the end
1949. It is the opinion of the
iagara Chapter that civil ser-
vice employees are always one pay
raise behind industry. ‘The chap-
ter says it is extremely regret-
table that such conditions should
exist but it is felt that in the
future the entire State and Coun-
ty divisions of the Association
will make themselves heard and
civil service will hold attraction

for prospective job seekers.

A Resignation’s Effect on

Disciplinary Proceeding

By THEODORE BECKER

F YOU are up on charges of
of incompetency or misconduct,
or are advised that such charges
are to be preferred against you,
don’t think that your resignation

will automatically close the case.
A resignation is often resorted to
by an employee who is either
guilty of the charges or feels him-
self unable to disprove them to
the satisfaction of the removing
authority, especially where no
right to a hearing and to cross-
examine witnesses Is afforded.

The removing agency, on the
other hand, may be inclined to
favor a resignation even where
adequate evidence of incompeten-
cy or misconduct exists in order
to avoid the unpleasantness of
@ removal proceeding, especially
where a formal hearing on the
charges must be held. If the res-
ignation is mutually desired and
agreed upon, the employee should
be careful to obtain a stipulation
discontinuing any disciplinary
proceeding that may have been
commenced against him, If he
doesn’t, he has no assurance that
‘the proceeding will not be con-
tinued and his removal on charges
accomplished despite his resig-
nation.

Resignation No Bar

In a case decided by the Court
of Appeals more than ten years
ago, it was held that the resig-
nation of an income tax exam~-
iner during the pendency of|
charges brought against him by}
the State Department of Tax-
ation and Finance did not ter-
minate the removal proceeding.
The court reasoned that if re-
moval was the only result of the
proceeding then resignation should
terminate it. But, as the court
pointed out, a person removed
from public employment may be
barred from holding further office
in the discretion of the civil ser-
vice commission having jurisdic-
tion. To permit a resignation to
terminate the disciplinary pro-
ceeding, therefore, would deprive
the civil service comm!
the right to disqualify for future |
examinatio! There being this}

‘No Privacy
For Public
Employee?

ALBANY, Jan. 3—It’s the view
of the State Personnel Council
that the public supervisor is al-
ways on the job, and that there-
fore every one of them has a cer-
tain public relations function to
perform,

Here's the Council's advice:

“No government employee is
ever off the job, Wherever he goes
he represents the department.
Whenever he speaks, he speaks for
his office — even when he says
“this is off the record or “this is
my own opinion,”

Your Public

“This is your public—

—the citizen who appreciates
the courtesy you and your staff
show; the knowledge and skill

way you and your staff are always
busy getting the day’s work done.

——the other supervisors who can
count on the help you and your
staff offer and the information
you share.

—the staff of your own unit and
those in the rest of your depart-
ment, who like your cheeriness
and tact.

—and the taxpayers of the State
who know you do your job the
quickest way, and you are al-
ways on the lookout for ways to
save men, money, or material,

“You can’t express a private
opinion publicly when you. hold
a government job. What you say
appears to most people to be the
opinion of your department.

“How are your public relations?”

Ulster Group
Lays Plans
To Expand

The Ulster County Chapter of

sociation, Inc, is preparing a drive
to expand its membership more
widely among employes of the
County Highway and the County
Welfare Departments, Police Lieu-
tenant James P. Martin, president
of the chapter, states,

As a preliminary to this drive,
@ meeting was held on December
14, with James F. Loughran,
County Highway Superintendent
and a Commissioner of the New
York State Bridge Authority and
his Highway assistant, Mr."N, Ro~
land Green. The meeting was held
jat Mr. Loughran’s invitation and
| was attended by J. Allyn Stearns,
Vice President of the State As-
sociation and Robert J, Baylor,
Financial Secretary of Ulster
Chapter. Arrangements were made
for an early meeting of Highway
Department employees and full
approval was expressed by Super-
intendent Loughran to the or-
ganization of the Highway em-
ployees by an organization of the
high type and character of the
Civil Service Employees Associa~
tion, Inc.
| _ A'drive is also under way in the

| County Welfare Department to en-
roll all members of the department

Mr.Mayor-Let the Job
Study Really Doa Job!

AYOR O’DWYER last week reiterated that he fav-
ors a reclassification of NYC employees. We are
glad_he is thinking seriousty along these lines. The
LEADER has been urging over a long period that a re-
classification should get under way—and thus hit at the
very heart of New York’s awful personnel mess.
But, as we've said before, the job must not be done
in a half-baked, half-hearted, unprofessional manner.

The blunt facts are thes assification is a tre-
mendous job. Jt can’t be done in six months by Budget
Director Patterson, Civil Service Commission President
McNamara and a few employees who aren’t equipped for
this kind of specialty, don’t have a feel for it and don’t
fundamentally know what’s involved, however valuable
they may be in their regular spheres as public officials.

A real job of reclassification—so sorely needed in New
York City—can only be done by a staff with deep under-
standing and experience in what reclassification involves.
It will take at least a year, possibly longer, and will cost
st $250,000, possibly more. Reclassification is a
highly technical task, requiring trained people, a staff of
sufficient size, and ample time. Every single operation
performed by every City employee must be studied, The
operations performed in the City must be compared and
contrasted with similar operations elsewhere. Out-of-title
work must be located and scrutinized scientifically. Pro-
motion lines, from top to bottom, must be established. It
is not at all unusual to ask 100 separate questions about a
single position,

A superficial] approach will not help the City’s per-
sonnel problem, will not uncover the great inequities, will
not streamline City government, will not allay the de-
munds of those who, in the interest of good government,
want a thorough-going job.

We need only call attention to the remarkable effici-
ency which resulted from the reclassification of New York
State positions under Governor Lehman, That’s the kind
of reclassification we need in New York City. There are
people who can honestly advise the Mayor on the nature
of true reclassification. A substantial committee of well-
invormed, experience “outside” persons can be established
unider—may we suggest—the chairmanship of able Trans-
tion head William Reid, who really understands the
ject.

The LEADER, knowing what is involved, pleads with
the Mayor not to go astray on a superficial job that can’t
be effective—and will leave the City in as bad a personnel
jungle as ever, On the other hand, a vigorous, intensive
ation could be the biggest thing in Mr. O’Dwyer’s

career,

Comment

‘Vet Supports Mitchell Bill
Editor, The LEADER:

As a veteran and a permanent
civil service appointee I whole-
heartedly support the Mitchell Bill
as the most equitable method of
veteran preference.

This is not the place to go into
the philosophy back of the con-
cept of veteran preference. An
examination of the various veter-
an benefits of the GI Bill and
other federal and state legislation
reveals that the legislatures them-
selves were guided by no one phil-
osophy or principle. In some cases
they appear to have been trying to
equalize opportunity, in others to
place the veteran on @ par with
the civilian, in others to indem-
nify the yeteran for time lost or
opportunities missed, and in still
others to reward one segment of
the population because the latter
were lucky (or unlucky) enough
to receive “greetings from the
President.”

Whatever principle may under-
lie the present State law or vet-
eran preference in civil service
appointment, it comes in direct
conflict with the basic principle
of the civil service structure, the
merit system. Any regulation re-
quiring the appointment of all
of a group of candidates, some of
whom may have scored as low as
15%, before a single one of an-
other group of candidates, some of
whom may have scored 99.9%, is
a travesty of a merit system. Aside
from destroying initiative and
morale among non-veteran em-
ployees, this may well lead to the)
staffing of services with marginally
or barely qualified employees,
veterans and fine fellows though
they may be, who, by their own
test results, are less qualified than
other candidates, who, by law,
cannot be appointed. i

Against this, the Mitchell Bill, |
while giving the veteran pref-
erence, gives the well-qualified
non-veteran a fighting chance of
getting well up on the list, where)
by virtue of his ability, he should |
be, and so, as well as being more
equitable, the Mitchell Bill is al-
so compatible with a true merit
system, I commend your fight
for it. PERRY DALTON

‘The Statistics Don’t Buy Food
Editor, The LEADER:

Good work on your article on
State Personnel News item pre-
tending to show the inflation
spiral has not hurt State employ-
ees! That our salaries have kept
level with living costs is sheer
nonsense.

Let someone else take care of
the statistics, I will state it in|
terms of every-day existence. As
a State employee for over 11
years, I find that with all the
vaunted increments and “living
bonuses” it is harder to make
ends meet in a frugal family life
than at any time before. We
have to cut more to the bone
than ever before to get along.
That is the test for me and for
the thousands of other employees,
and not any arbirtrary figures
pulled out of a hat to show how
well we are being treated. Let
them put me back to my 1939)
purchasing power position, and |
Yl be satisfied. (Yes, I'll forego
the increments and promotions rT)
earned during the past 10 years!)

I wish you to know these sen-
timents are not mine alone but
those expressed by many working
around me. CONSCIENTIOUS

LEADER'S Vital Role
Lauded by DeGraff

This letter was one oj the many
sent to The LEADER’s publisher,
Jerry Finkelstzin, by leading offi-
cials and civil service advocates
upon the paper's entrance on its
tenth year.

Dear Jerry:

My sincere congratulations to
you and your associates upon the
celebration of your tenth birth-
day.
‘The LEADER, today, plays such
a vital and important part in the
civil service that it requires an
effort to recall the time, only ten
short years ago when it was but}

In publishing a paper dedicated
to the improvement of the civil
service, you are helping to meet
today’s greatest challenge — the
urgent necessity of providing good
government, to meet the ever-
increasing problems of our com-
plex civilization.

You have done much during
the past ten years, but I am con-
fident that you are destined to

Frank C. Moore, who had prom-

is as dirty as anything you'll find

cratic administration in New
York City, those really hurt were

O'Dwyer Bitter

It was then that Mayor O'Dwyer
bitterly said: “The time has come
for a drastic change in the rela-

The undignified procedure of City
officials going ‘with hat in hand’

But the cavalier treatment
which the City gets—while con-
tributing greatly to the State's
taxes and the State's surplus—has
finally hit gall. And the real think- |
ers want a _ long-range solution.

Split Away From State

The City’s experts have long-

State relations—but they don’t |
have too much hope, judging by |
Past experience, that the upstat-|
ers will accept them. That's why
one of the best brains in City
government says: “Let’s start
working now to become a State.
It will take years, but that’s the
only fundamental solution.”

He reasons that New York City
is in every sense a true State,
There is less in common between
the City and upstate than there
is between Vermont and New
Hampshire. The only physical tie
with the upstate counties is water
practically supports
those communities, particularly in
Ulster County, from which it
draws its water, Outside of this,
he maintains, the City-State re-
lationship has been a peculiarly
lopsided one, with the State grow-
ing rich on City revenues, and up-
state communities getting a lot
of good out of NYC tax contribu-
tions while the City itself has re-
mained poor, finding it necessary

|

to achieve those projects which it
needs for its dignity and power
as the world’s greatest commun-
ity.

Outside of water—for which the
City pays heavily—there’s noth-
ing which the State contributes to
the City thai the City couldn't ac-
complish by its own efforts, pre-
suming it had control of its own
revenues,

Upstaters Would Fight

To accomplish such a change
would require a positive act by
the City in that direction, 9 State}
constitutional conyention, and
action by Congress to admit a new
state.

Difficult? Enormously difficult!
The upstaters aren’t going to let
the golden egg go without the|
biggest fight they’ve ever put up.
But nothing is impossible in the
United States; and if such a plan
were proposed, it isni unlikely
that the City would pull with it

on it economically—like Nassau,
Suffolk and Westchester. The

read as follows:

$30.408 Disposition of _ sick

effective upon publication in the
Federal Register.

(Be. O. 9414, Jan. 13, 1944, 3
CFR 1944 Supp.)

Note: The above amendments
are designed to make it unneces-
sary to carry forward fractions in-
to 1949 leave records. In order to
accomplish this purpose the Com-
mission finds that good cause
exists for making the amend-
ments effective upon publication
in the Federal Register.

crude narcotic drugs and to ex-
port drugs and preparations man-
ufactured therefrom under the
Jaw and regulations, and deter-

be manufactured in the United
States for medical purposes. The
Bureau also has the authority to
issue licenses for production of
poppies and for the manufacture
of opium products therefrom, un-
der the Opium Poppy Control

duction and manufacture become
necessary to supply and scientific
needs for opium products.

port Quotas.—In cooperation with
the Public Health Service, the
Bureau of Narcotics determines
the quantities of crude cpium and
|coca leaves to be imported into
| the United States for medical and
other legitimate .
| Cooperation
| Foreign Countries.—It cooperates
| with the Department of State in
| the discharge of the international
‘obligations of the United States
‘concerning the traffic in narcotic
forage and with the several States
in the suppression of the abuse
jof narcotic drugs and marihuana
jin_ their respective jurisdictions.

Legal Division—The activities of
the Legal Division embrace all
legal questions arising in con-
nection with the administration
of the duties and function of the
valious bureaus, divisions, and
other branches of the Department
These activities also include con-
sideration of legal problems re-
lating to broad financial, econ-
omic, and social programs and

ional cooperation in the mone-
tary and financial fields. In ad-
dition, the General Counsel’s le-

Combustible Inspectors
Petition for Title Change

Thirteen Inspectors of Combus-
jtibles in the Fire Department
have petitioned the NYC Civil
Service Commission to reclassify
them as Junior Chemical Engin-
eers. The petitioners are in Grades
2 and 3,

Through their attorney, Ralph
H, Faiella, of 281 Broadway, Man-
hattan, they maintain that the
requirements and duties of the
two titles are the same, that fric-
tion results from the attempted
differentiation in title and that a
1940 reclassification, changing In-
spector of Combustible titles to
Junior Chemical Engineer recog-
nized the justice of including pe-
titioners in the preferred title. A
method of initiating such change,
by application, is provided by law,
and the petitioners are invoking
that privilege. A court case, Fal-
otico versus Clauson, decided by
Supreme Court Justice Livingston
this year, is cited in favor of the
change as providing promotion el-
igibilty, whether incumbents elect
to have the new title. Under re-
classileation provisions incum=
bents, in certain circumstances,
|could decide to accept or refuse
the new title. Mr. Faiella states
that it is foregone that the the
Petitioners would gladly accept,

No pay change is involved,

Petition under advisement,

the spot, as the officlal speaker
will bring blanks with him,
Arrangements could even be made
for having the students pay the
$1 fee ($2 total, if the two exams
are to be taken) and thus have
only to wait to be notified when
and where to appear for taking
the test or tests.

By using this method, and ad-
ditional ideas, the Commission
hopes to increase both the num-
ber of applicants and the number
of acceptances by eligibles, for
positions it finds difficult to fill.
Later it hopes to induce the
Board of Transportation to let it
have car-card space on the rapid
transit system for advertising ex-
aminations. That practice pre-
vailed until the Board's revenues
from private advertisers soared,

The Typist pay is $1,980 to
start; Stenographer, $2,100,

Private schools desiring to have
a Commission representative, pos-
sibly a Commissioner, address
their students on the two exam-
inations may apply to School Edi-
tor, The LEADER, 97 Duane
Street, New York 7, N. Y., by

tions by filing with the Municipal

candidates who file after that

21 Is Minimum Age

Qualifications: Candidates for
all licenses must be at least 21
years of age, and meet such other
training, education and experience
requirements as may be established
for each particular license. These
requirements must be met on the
date the application is filed.

To be satisfactory the exper-
jence prescribed, in addition to
covering the period fixed herein,
must also be of such a nature as
to warrant the inference that the
candidate meets the minimum re-
quirements necessary for admis-
sion to the examination. The in-
itial experience rating, therefore,
is not necessarily final. If in-
vestigation or inquiry discloses
that the candidate's experience is
not of the nature and quality
desired then he may be either re-
rated or failed in experience,
Mere admission to the examina-
tion in any test thereof is not
conclusive on the Commission as
to the qualifications of any can-
didate.

Admission to the examination or
to any part of it, conditionally or
pending subsequent determination
of qualifications does not imply
that the candidate possesses the
minimum qualifications required.
If the investigation of experience,
held after the written or other
parts of the examination, dis:
closes that the candidate lac!

Welfare Dept. Veterans Confer With Hilliard

Welfare Commissioner Ray-
mond M, Hilliard promised a com-
mittee of the Department of Wel-
fare Veteran’s Association restor-
ation to the position of Office
Manager of a veteran receiving
Jess pay in a subordinate title be-
cause of his volunteering for mili-
tary service. Back pay for two
other veterans whose restoration
to their former position of Office
Manager did not occur until over
two years after their return from
military service is being consider-
ed.

Four cases, jnvolving three dis-
abled veterans®and one widow of
@ veteran, were submitted as evi-~
dence of loss of pay despite the
department's extended sick leave
policy, Commissioner Hilliard sta-
ted that he would investigate the
failure to grant sick leave with
pay.

Statements previously made to
the Association by Dr. Alphonse
Heningburg, Director of Staff Re-
lations, that veterans appointed in
the early part of 1946 would not
be excluded from increments pro-
dected for Assistant Supervisors

‘three years in the grade, were re-
peated by Mr. Hilliard. Delay in
the use of the Clerk, Grade 4,
promotion list was acknowledged
but it was stated that the Depart-
ment was working on promotions.

The committee presented the
problem of an Investigator (non-
Social Service) who prior to his
absence of four-an-a-half years
in the Army had an assignment
investigating theft of relief checks.
Upon his return he received the
same assignment but at a lesser
salary than that of two non-vet-
erans who began doing this work
while he was away. The two non-
veterans carried firearms, where-
as no gun had been given to the
veteran, The committee said that
the veteran was the only one of
the three with a ciyil service title
appropriate for the carrying of
firearms, although he had not re-
quested a weapon.

Credit for Milltary Service

Local Law 27 of the Laws of
1947 stipulates that:

“Whenever, by the provisions
of the administrative code ex-
perience in a particular trade
is a prerequisite for obtaining
any license, certificate or per-
mit issued thereunder, the per-
jod of service in the Army or
Navy of the United States in
time of war by an honorable
discharged member thereof who
shall apply for such license, cer-
tificate or permit, shall be
deemed the equivalent of such
experience on a year for year
basis and shall be accepted ac-
cordingly, provided, however,
that such applicant prior to his
entry into the Army or Navy
Possessed not less than one year
of the experience required un-
der the administrative code, and
further provided that such ex-
perience was interrupted by such
entry into the Army or Navy.
The provisions of this section
shall not apply to license of
master rigger and certificates of
qualification for a duly certified
operating engineer of steam
boilers, who has had during the
ten years immediately preceding
the filing of his application, at
least one year’s experience prior
to his entry into the Army or
Navy, and while in the Army
or Navy served as a fireman,
boilermaker, water tender or
engineer, or while In the Army
or Navy performed duties equiv-
alent to the duties performed
by firemen, boilermakers, water
tenders, or engineers for an
additional period of time, to
make a total of four years’ ex-
Perience shall be deemed to
Possess the required experience
as applicant for a certificate of
qualification for a duly certi-
fied operating engineer of steam
boilers.”

‘The above provisions shall be
in effect until July 1, 1951.

Fees Paid After Applying
Fees: The examination fee will

not be paid at the time of filing
application but during a specified
period shortly before the first
test for the license. Candidates
will be notified of the date of ex-
amination and the period during
which the required fee must be
paid, The fee may be paid in
person during the normal hours
of business of the Application
Section noted above under “Ap-
plications” or by check or money
order forwarded by mail, post-
marked not later than 12 midnight
on the last day for receipt of
fees, Only those candidates who
pay the fee will receive the offi-

ment of the fee. The

tions of who do pay
the fee will be voided and 4 will
be necessary for such persons to

file a new application form in
order to be considered for any
future examination,

No fees will be refunded to
candidates who fail to pass in any

of the examination or who
to appear for examination.
What the Exams Test

Caution: The Commission can-
not assume any responsibility for
the non-delivery of applications
requested or sent through the
mails nor for the loss of any cash
sent through the mails,

Change of Address: Candidates
for examination must notify the
Commission promptly of all
changes of address, specifying the
title of the license applied for,
Failure to do so may disqualify
them on any part or parts of the
examination which have not al-
ready been held.

Examinations: Examinations are
designed to test the merit and fit-
ness of applicants and may in-
clude written tests, practical tests,
oral tests, or any combination of
these. Written tests will be con-
ducted at least twice each year
for all licenses except the License
for Master Plumber, which will
be given at least once each year.
Candidates will be examined only
at the regularly scheduled times.

Special examinations will not be
given for any reason whatsoever.

The required passing grade in
all_examinations is 70 per cent.

Questions and keys for written
tests are not to be made public.

Where an examination includes
both a written and practical test,
candidates will be permitted to
take three practical tests within
three years on the basis of passing
one written test provided the ap-
plication for the third practical
test is filed- not later than three
years from the date of the writ-
ten test. Service in the armed
forces will be excluded in reckon-
ing time elapsed from the date of
the passing written test. A sep-
arate application must be filed
for each additional practical test.

Time Limit on

Appeals: Claims of error in the
rating of an examination must be
made to the Commission in writ-
ing within 60 days from the date
of mailing of the failing notice,
Only candidates, however, who
have received a rating of at least
65 per cent or better will be per-
mitted to review their examina-
tion papers and the key answers
in the presence of a representa-
tive of the Commission’s examin-
ing staff.

Investigation and Issuance of
Licenses: After the successful con-
clusion of all parts of the exam-
ination, candidates will be sum-
moned for such investigation of
their reputation, character, re-
sponsibility, and past experience
as the Commission may require.
When this investigation proce-
dure has been completed, the
names of the qualified applicants
will be reported by the Commis-
sion to the various Departments
charged with the issuance of li-
censes as follows:

Key Answers Protested
In Investigator Exam

The
key answers in the Investigator
examination are being studied by

‘There were 1166 applicants, of
whom about 950 took the written
test on Saturday, Decémber 18,

‘The pretests were said nol. to

whether they passed.

protests against tentative| ithe Court of Appeals decision in

the Police Sergeant case, permits
the Commission to delete ques-
tions or give more than one key
answer that will be deemed cor-
rect, The tentative key contained
no multiple correct answers,
though protests might result in
some.

The reservation on key answers
read:

“The Commission, in establish-
ing key answers to this test, re-
serves the right to determine
which of ‘the answers listed for
each question is to be deemed and
accredited as acceptable, and
whether more than one of the
answers listed for each question
is to be deemed acceptable and
accredited as such, The Commis-
sion further reserves the right to
cancel and annul any question,
whenever upon inquiry, it deems
that none of the listed answers
thereto can properly be considered
as acceptable,” ‘

Some Candidates Got 100 P.C,

Some of the candidates got 100
per cent on the basis of the ten-
tative key, including non-veter-
ans who wonder if they'll get a
job offer, They include provis-
jonals now serving in the title.
Among provisionals about 25 per
cent are veterans, If half of the
candidates pass, or 475, and 25
per cent are veterans, 118 veter~
ans would head the list. The total
provisionals in the title number
about 60,

Question 9 — A person claims
damages against the city and the
Investigator gets an anonymous
letter saying that the claimant
mistreats his wife and children,
Key answer (D), disregard the
letter as irrelevant. Protest: anti~
social acts are relevant to a per-
son's character, hence credibility,
so that if the charges prove true,
the claim against the city might

Maintenance Men’s
Appeal on Pay Up
In Court This Month

The Maintenance Men’s court
proceeding to set aside Comptrol-
ler’s Lazarus Joseph’s determina-
tion setting $1.16 per hour as the
prevailing rate will be argued in
the Appellate Division this month,

Last February, after hearings,
the Comptroller made the determ-
ination, The Maintenance Men
employed in the Department of
Hospitals accepted, However,
other Maintenance Men refused.

Samuel Resnicoff, of 280 Broad-
way, Manhattan, counsel for the
Department of Welfare Mainten-
ance Men, instituted a proceed-
ing which was consolidated with
the action instituted by Gabrielli
and Gabrielli, attorneys for other
petitioning Maintenance Men,

Mr. Resnicoff objected to the
Comptroller's survey for failure to
consider pay of Maintenance Men
of utility companies, and that the
Comptroller should have first de-
termined the nature of the work
performed by the Maintenance
Men and then included in his
survey the rate of wages paid by
private industry to employees per-
forming similar work.

The Messrs Gabrielli in their
brief challenge the Comptroller's
determination on four grounds,

It is expected that the position
of the Corporation Counsel before
the Appellate Division will be
similar to the arguments he urged
before the Comptroller, that the
Comptroller's survey was proper,
fair and legal and that no errors
were committed.

Higher Pay in Jobs
Now Part of Grading

Theodore H, Lang, of the per-
sonnel office of the NYC Board
of Education, won approval of
the Municipal Ciyil Service Com-
mission of his request to have the

civil service grading reflect pay
increases for Senior Lunchroom
Helper. The new pay is $2,280;

the old was $1,660. Increases of
$250 are involved, plus $370 bonus,

The Supervisor of Clinics title,
Health Department, was approved
for inclusion of tuberculosis and
venereal disease specialties, The
Medical Supervisor title was elim~-
inated,

William Brody, personnel officer
of the department, said that one
position in the Bureau of Tuber-
culosis and another in the Bu-
real of Social Hygiene would be
affected.

Irving Greenberg, of the Board
of Higher Education, and William

t increase im permanent

‘The raises granted in recent
years to NYC employees total
$1,020, of which $650 is cost-of-
living bonus and $370 addition
to permanent pay. The $370 is
composed of $120 as of July 1,
1946, and $250 as of July 1, 1948.
eel instances the bonus was

$660.

The $120 was granted to em-
ployees beyond the increment
range, to employees who do not
come under the increment law,
and to employees who were at the
top of the grade and otherwise
would not be entitled to more
pay by the increment route; they
would get $120 a year after the
receipt of the last increment.

Mayor Asked Double Job

These increases in permanent
pay have put many employees
above the maximum of the civil
service grades as now existing
under NYC Civil Service Com-
mission resolution, and constitute
one reason why a reclassification
project is being undertaken by
NYC, The grades would have to
be raised, anyway, and the May-
or felt that while this was being
done, the regrouping, consolida-
tion and simplification of titles
and promotion Iadders should be
achieved at the same time. Hence
he ordered 4 reclassification with

NEWS

By MORTON YARMON
The NYC Civil Service Commis-
ston has @ 500-examination goal
for 1949. The new examinations
are expected to run from 40 to 45
&@ month, The largest number last
year was 43, The January list has

To help speed up the holding of
examinations, President Joseph A,
McNamara, of the Commission,
obtained the cooperation of Budg-
et Director Thomas J. Patterson.

After the idea of holding a par-
ticular examination is approved
by the Commission an examina-
tion notice is drawn up and sent
to the Budget Director, who passes
on the budgetary features. After
his approval is obtained the ex-
amination is given a place by the
Commission on the schedule of
opening dates.

Batch of Exams Approved

A whole sheaf of examination
notices was approved by Mr. Pat-
terson last week. The Commis-
sion had argued that the notices
concerned titles in which there
was a considerable number of pro-
visionals ,or impermanent employ-
ees who'd never passed an exami-
nation in the title, and who would
be replaced by eligibles as soon as
an eligible list was promulgated.
This also coincided with Mayor
William O'Dwyer's wishes, as he
has asked for monthly reports on
the number of provisionals, At
present the number is above 27,-
000, a drop of 1,000 since Octo-
ber 31, and in less than six weeks
2,000 to 3,000 more replacements
are expected by June 30 next,
21,000 provisionals would be re-
placed by permanent employees,
leaving 7,000 as the more or less
standstill number. There were

Herzstein vs. Lazarus

UP IN Albany they're talking
about the sourness which exists
between towering, bright, soft-
spoken, pipe-smoking Harold Herz-
stein, legislative representative for
New York City, and tiny, tough-
talking, swift-motioned Reuben
Lazarus, who preceded Herzstein
in the legislative post, and who is
now working for the Republican-
controlled Assembly Ways and
Means Committee, Both Herzstein
and Lazarus have encyclopaedic
minds, and maybe even a bit of
jealousy exists between them. Both
are working for different interests,
Both have done a good job for the
City of New York. The political
boys in Albany are watching with
interest as this Lincoln-Douglas
feud quietly develops.

years ago.

To be able to furnish the Mayor
promptly with monthly reports on
the number of provisionals, the
Commission is establishing a dual
system, consisting of control, plus
machine carding, so that on any
day it will be able to say how
many provisionals were on the
payroll yesterday. John Curren,
head of the Commission's payroll
division, is in charge of this work.

Mayor Has a Reason

As the Mayor is seeking re-
fomination, he doesn’t want to en-

necessity of having to apologize

the number of monthly exams in-

getting 14 promotion and 11 open-
competitive examinations added to
the January schedule, The open-

Reclassification Procedure Is Set |

By H. J, BERNARDO

The pattern that will be fol-
lowed in the reclassification of
NYC job titles, and the adoption
of uniform grading of positions,
was outlined to The LEADER by
the two men whom Mayor William
O'Dwyer has appointed to head
the undertaking—Budget Director
Thomas J. Patterson and Presi-
dent Joseph A, McNamara, of the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion, The five-point plan follows

1—A, comparative analysis of all in fewer grades, with broader
titles and reduction of the| pay spans, For instance, the five
umber of titles, by consolidation | clerical grades might be reduced
and elimination, for simplifying |to three, and numerical grading
the entire grading. eliminated in favor of the three

—An invitation to employee or-
ganizations, civic associations,
individuals and the public gener-
ally to offer suggestions and rec-
ommendations, and to attend
public hearings that are to be
|held before any changes are
| made,
|4-4 guarantee that, whatever
changes are effectuated, none
would adversely affect any pres-
jent permanent city employee.
—A pay plan that will result

ps Clerk,

“The study will be fairly con-
ducted and the recommendations
will be made with an equal eye
to the interests of the city and

the employees affected,” said Mr.
Patterson, “All the staff that’s
needed will be provided.”

“The job and pay study will be
made by city officials and employ-
ees who are thoroughly familiar
with the work and the problems,” |
said President McNamara, “It |
will be thorough and painstaking. |
While a June 30 limit has been |
put on the undertaking, that is
not absolute. If we find we're |
not progressing fast enough, we'll |
get more employees, or take
longer, or do both, The main ob-
jective is to do an outstanding

Job.”
Sees Big Clerical Task

Mr. McNamara believed that
| the work was 90 per cent clerical
and that much of it would be a
specific affirmance of what is al-,
ready generally known. Conflicts
in titles are familiar to all city
officials and most employees, also
pay disparities under the same

The policy decisions would be
made by the two ranking officials,
but would constitute, in a meas-
ure, recommendations to the
Mayor, The Commission has theo-
retical leeway to function inde-
pendently, but its resolutions,
|when passed, must go to the
|Mayor and even after the Mayor
approves them, to the State Civil
Service Commission, whose sanc-
tion is necessary before enact-
ment. Also, the grading, a civil
service function, is tied in in-
extricably with the pay plan,
which is budgetary, therefore
largely the Mayor's own responsi-
bility, although the appropriating
power resides in the Board of
Estimate, which he heads,

President McNamara announc-
ed thet his reclassification staff,
consisting of employees of his
Commission, would be headed by
Sidney M, Stern, the Commis-
sion’s legal expert. Mr, Patterson
had told The LIEADER a few
moriths ago, when The LEADER
gave notice so long in advance
of even what kind of reclassifica-
tion the Mayor would order, that

Mayor Asks for Completeness

The Mayor instructed M
Patterson and McNamara “to
make a complete study of the sit-
uation.” The step was accelerated
by the fact that a considerable
amount of piecemeal regrading
would have to be undertaken by

Ss

the Commission, anyway, be-
cause of the $250 increases in
basic pay granted to city em-

ployees last year. The raise caused
many employees to pierce the top
of the grades as now constituted.
The grades would have to be
raised to meet the predicament.
Meanwhile employees must sign
waivers of promotion claims,
based on the grade-piercing pay,
otherwise they don't get paid. All

the Board of Transportation and |
| the teaching staff of the Boards of |
|Education and Higher Education, |

\that is barren of waive The
overall regrading would take care
of all these situations at one
swoop. «

“The whole idea, on pay, {s one |
of upward regrading,” explained |
President McNamara. ‘There is
no intention to downgrade any-
body." He added that “wholesale
wage cuts,” which figured in ru-|
mors from antagonistic source:
were ridiculous.

Different Plan Fayored

The Mayor's method of job and
pay study, made by city officials
and employees, runs counter to
what some civic organizations and |
others advocate. The Citizens |
Budget Commission, for instance,
recommended that an outside or-
ganization be retained, and fig-
ured the cost of the survey at
$250,000, for possibly a two-year
undertaking, but Mayor O'Dwyer,

The importance of having de-|
partments notify their employees |

Particularly, employees |
absent, either on vacation
or because of illness, often fail to

Then they lose their opportunity,

The Commission recently adopt-
ed a resolution, which will go to
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion for action, providing that
employees of all types who may|
be absent from an examination

to which the letter would be an
extension.

to follow the suggested course
