ALBANY, Nov. 11 — The 1958
session of the New York Sta
Legislature will not begin until
| January but the 1958 legislative
program of the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assoctation already is un-
der way.

Within the next few days, Asso-
elation officers and counsel will
meet with leaders of the Legisia-
ture and Administration oficial

for Stale workers in the coming
year os outlined in resolutions
approved by some 600 CSEA dele-
gates at their annual meeting here
last month,

‘These resolutions call for a 40-

This year, the Association reso-
lution on salary does not call for
any flat figure but asks that raises
be granted according to current
figures in private Industry and
with cognizance of inflationary
trends which have continued up-
ward for the past

straight.
Before any of these matters
reach the Legislature for con-

sideration, however, bills must be
drawn for submission and disous-
sions must be held on various gov-
ermental levels to reach agree-
ment on conditions of the various
demands on behalf of the public

Legislative Program Due

| Salary and reduction of hours
are expected to dominate the first
discussions In the coming days.

Earlier this year Governor Ave~
rel! Harriman pledged his Admin-
istration to "correcting inequitics”
in the salary schedules of State
workers,

GOP leaders, who pushed a pay
boost for employees in the Jast
session of the Legislature, are ex
pected to lend a sympathetic car
to worker demands again this
year.

Tt would appear certain that
institutional employees can de-
pend on gaining « 40-hour week
this year, with only two hours re-
maining to be reduced from what
was @ 48-hour week two years
ago, Since that time, the Asso-
ciation managed to carve six
hours from the institutional work
week, the first such reduction in
many years.

Reports on meetings between
Association officials, legislative
lenders and the Administration
will appear in The Leader tn the
near future,

Civil Servants In Times of Crisis

With Sputnik I and If whirling around in space, with reports
from places as far as Italy and Texas of people seeing strange sights
In the sky, with the scientists talking of the possibility of a power
which will give an object the speed of light, it is comforting to sit
back and contemplate something a little less spectacular, a little
More familiar, and which gives one sense of stability,

‘This rave phenomenon th our whirligig 1957 is the Civil Service
of France. Until Just about 10 days ago, this European Republic has
been without n political leader. For the past thirty odd days, France
has been unable to form a government, and so has not had any one
person or group at the top directing its destiny. Yot during that perlod,
{ts 43,000,000 people have gone wbout their daily tnaks of living, They

moved m place to place, received utters, paid their taxes, fought
fires, arrested Jaw breakers — in general, did all of the things which
human beings in groups have been doing for centuries — and which,
unless the itniks and the electronics pervading the world change
the whole way of life of man, they will be doing for centuries to
come.

Work with Little Praise

This stabilizing force in France was the Civil Service, — those
tens of thousands of public employees who every hour, every day,
every week went about their tasks In every village, town, city, and in
the nation, faithfully doing the things they were hired to do. They
were the people who took care of the water supply of France, who
watched over the sanitation services, who policed the streets, who
fought the fires, who taught the schools, who did, in face, the thous-
and and one things which civil servants al! over the world in every
gountry do daily and as a matter of course,

People have come to depend upon the public servant and expect
{hem to serve through all crises and all political and social upheavals.
‘The civil servant is the bed rock of our community living — the base
upon which our society rests, Chaos would result if the civil service
stopped functioning — no community could survive a day in our
present dey world,

C

Despite the fact that a great government hay been held together
during one of its great political crises — the role which the public
servant played has received little notice, So accustomed have people
become to the workings of their water supply and sewage systems
that they too often forget the force which unsung and too often un-
honored have made their 20th century living possible.

What the civil servants did in Pranoe during the past 30 days
was the same that clyil servants did everywhere, They have become
the backbone of our modern social order, Without them our social

il Service Kept Country Moving

The eerie “other world” atmos-
phere created by the imaginatively
costumed guests at the annual
Halloween masquerade party giv-
en by the 25-Year Service Club at
Rockland State Hospital gave way
to “real world” hilarity after the
costume Judging, when masks
were doffed, the people behind
them were recognized, and a va-
riety of Uvely games were started.

Winner of the prize for the most
original costume worn by an in-
dividual was Mayfred Veiteh, who
appeared in a white shroud and
a huge, wide-eyed doll-faced
pumpkinhead adorned with dan-
gling earrings,

«Costumes Tell Story
The prize for the most original

costumes worn by couples went to |

Lillian Ward and Mary Scott, a

weary and bent elderly pair
dressed in old-fashioned night-
clothes, who represented retired

Civil Service employees.

An outstanding costume, satir-
izing the financial plight of Civil
Se rvice employees, was worn by
Willlam Kunze, Unshaven and
woaring a battered fedora, an un-
dershirt and patched overalls—
his bare toes sticking out of the
holes tn his shoes—he carried a
placard on his back enumerating
the annual payroll deductions that
had reduced him to such a sorry
atate.

A considerable stir was created
by the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Pat
O'Brian, whose hobo disguises de-
fled recognition. With no ex-
change of conversation, and tak-
ing no apparent notice of anyone
in the room, they spread a blanket
in the center of the floor, laid
out @ picnic tunch and sat down
and ste in a leisurely manner,

‘The entrance to the room fn

vising a form which, in securing
more specific information, sub-
stantially reduced the number of
cases requiring dictation and, in
addition, has ellminated many of
the searches required at present
for registration numbers,

$50 was awarded to Kenneth R.
Favreau, South Main Street, Ovid,
a sentor account clerk in the De-
partment of Mental Hygiene, Wil-
lard State Hospital. Mr. Favreau
suggested a procedural change
concerning the control bars of a
bookkeeping machine which ob-

trial balances.

Two Share Prize

$50 was shared jointly by Wil-

Zynda, Collins Center, both Ma-
chinist Welders in the Department
of Mental Hygiene, Gowanda

available from used cutter parts.

$35 went to Mrs, Lucille E,
Brandon, a Bookkeeping Machine
Operator in the Labor Depart-

Mra. Brandon devised a new pro-
cedure In the posting of claim
cards directly from the files tn-
stead of removing these cards for
posting.

$35 was presented to Miss Eliza~
beth M. Heagney, a Supervising
Nurse in the Department of Men-
tal Hygiene, Rochester State Hos-
pital, who suggested a device to
be attached to chairs In various
institutions that would allow the
elderly patients to sit up with
comparative safety,

excess of # million dollars.

Vernon A. Tapper, third vice
president of the Civil Service Em-
ployees Association, was re-elected
chairman of the CSEA County
Executive Committee at a recent
meeting in the Asoclation’s Al-
bany headquarters,

8S. Samuel Borelly was elected
vice chairman,

Main items for discussion on the
agenda were county workshops
and a participation on the county
and munictpal levels for the 75th
anniversary of the founding of
elvil service In America,

The contribution of workshops
in furthering the cause of the
civil servant in political subdivi-
sions was discussed by the county
delegates, It was felt that work-
shops were the best way to get
across the goals and needs of
civil servants to local legistative
bodies as well as the public,

Prestige Discussed

Mrs, Eve Armstrong then pro=
posed that the county groups join
in celebrating the 75th annivers
sary of the clvil service as & means
of drawing attention to the con=
tribution of public employees to
community Mfe. A memorandum
to county chapters on this Item is
forthcoming. Mrs. Armstrong felt
such participation would do much
to increase the prestige of civil
servants.

In line with her remarks, Henry
J. McParland, director of the Mu-
nicipal Service Division of the
Civil Service Department, told
county delegates at the annual
meeting of the Association to take
a “hard look at your own attitude
towards your Job."

Mr, McFarland said that the
low prestige accorded some civil
servants easily could be the result
of the employee's own attitude
about the worth of his Job.

“Do you answer letters in an
1890 fashion?” Mr. McParland
queried, “Do you speak slackly
and without interest when other
people ask you about your Job?
How are your telephone man-
ners?” he asked.

Prestige in civil service begins
with the civil servants themselves,
Mr. McFarland said.

“We must convince ourselves
before we can convince others of
our own worth,” he stated.

Mr. McParland later explained
the functions of his department
to the delegates,

Resolutions on Agenda

At the meeting, delegates ap-
Proved & resolution nsking that
the State Social Welfare Depart-
ment withhold State aid to poll-
teal subdivisions which fail to
provide salaries equal to State
salaries for case worker, senior
ease worker, case supervisor, ace
count clerk and supervisor of ac-
count clerks in the public welfare
department. Where no such clas-
sification exists in the State de-
partment, the resolution calls
upon the State Board of Social
Welfare to designate tho salary
level,

Mr, Tapper announced that this
resolution and others would be
discussed at the Nov. 26 meeting
of the County Executive Come
mittee,

The Committee passed a rosoe
lution, at its last meeting, to come
mend the services of the late Mrs,
Lula Williama Conlon.

Defense Cutback

Eased:

Overtime Ban Rescincded

WASHINGTON, Noy. 11 —'The
20,000 scientists and engineers
engaged in research and develop-
ment are virtually immune from
the cutbacks ordered by the De~
partment of Defense, under a new
polfey of contracting the number
of layoffs generally.

The minimum figure was 55,000
plus whatever additional reduc-
tion was necessitated by the cut
in the Defense Department budget
by Congress. Since then the ap-
propriation has increased
somewhat and the new minimum

ts 60,000. Under the old plan it
would have exceeded 75,000

The situation was outlined by
William FL. Prancis, Assistant Sec-
retary of Defense, testifying be-
tore the House Manpower Utiliza-
tion Bubcommittee.

Overtime Ban Rescinded

The department has 53,000 aci-
entists and engineers, and evi-
dently the 23.000 working on other
than developmental and experi-
mental projects are still subject
to cutback effects

The Pound-Foolish Policy

OVERNMENT by personnel ceilings has always

* Una

Bkekman 3-6010
Paul Kyer, Editor

proved a fiasco, and the present is no exception. |

By that method a certain limit is put on the number
of employees on the payroll, regardless of the needs of
public service.

The public is demanding more and more service of
government, better and better and better protection, and
stricter safety measures. All these factors, and others,
combine to make government grow. War greatly expands
the Federal government civilian personnel structure,
while reducing that of State and local governments, But
after the Federal government has settled down to its
usual course in peacetime, that course must be enlight-
ened, not the short-sighted one of placing limits on num-
ber of employees, or the amount of salaries they are to
be paid, or the service budget, that are dangerously be-
low requirements.

Federal Examples Cited

Examples of what is happening in the Federal gov-
ernment will be found in the special article appearing on
Page 2 of this week's Leader. While the citizens of the
United States are looking to its government for leader-
ship in scientific advances, including rockets, missiles
and artificial satellites, recent news makes them wonder
what the Russian government has that we haven't got,
that the Russians can be first with demonstrations of
spatial prowness. If the United States government offered
high enough salaries to attract and hold all the top-flight
scientists that it needs, if the appropriations for the
breath-taking projects of developing means of travel and
communication in space are all that they should be, the
Sccretary of State would not have to admit that the Rus-
sians have the jump on us, even though he did add that
we shall catch up with or pass them,

What holds true in this larger aspect is also true of
the lesser objectives of hiring the type of mind below the
genius level, the type that constitutes the bulk of not
only government employees but of people everywhere.

The implication seems to be that the employees
should be prompted by patriotism to work for sacrificial

salaries, But what's wrong with the government itself |

being patriotic?

Pernicious Eminent Domain

Instead of putting as much money into a project as
ft deserves and commands, the government too often sees
fit to exercise what it seems to feel is jis peculiar right to
stint dangerously,
° Some good accidentally results from the polley of
penury, no doubt, but it is not the good for the greatest
number, Rather than raise a salary rate $1,000 a year,
government would expedite hiring, One of the objections
to government jobs has been that it takes so long to get
them. Private industry hires on the spot. So the Federal |
government {fs doing the same thing now concerning
hard-to-fill jobs. :

Another device used by government, In lieu of rais-
ao that the number of applicants will come somewhere
tng pay to the required level, is to reopen examinations, |
near what the needs of the service require, New Yor
City’s adventures in the patrolman and social inveati-
gator examinations are cases in point. It does not get a
sufficient number of candidates, oF eligibles, or persons
veady and willing to accept.

Civil service commissions do not establish pay

nd therefore are as much hampered by the low-salary

Boiley as the government itself is victimized by it. ‘

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR

STRONG AFFIRMATIVE VOTE
ASKED ON SOCIAL SECURITY

Editor, The Leader:

Employees of the State and local
governments should not feel that
since their declarations of inten-
tion showed such a preponderance
in favor of Social Socurity cover-
age that the necessity for voting
affirmatively in the referendum—

that counts—may be neglected,
All employees eligible to
should make s point of voting.
The effort ts negligible, the effect
of an overwhelming affirmative
vote important.

The addition of Social Security
bensfits to those of the respective
tetirement systems is a big ad-
vantage to the employees, While
the coverage will require them to
pay tax, including tax for the
retroactive period, they should not
| forget that the employer will pay
an equal amount. In this instance
| it can be truthfully said that the
| employer leaned in the liberal di-
rection,

An overwhelming affirmative
referendum yote therefore will
serve also as an expression of ap-
preciation of what the employer
has done for the employee.

Henceforth public workers will
be able to add Social Security
pension to their retirement allow~-
ance, have survivorship protec-

MODERN
ADMINIS

Starting a Career

Personnel News, published by
the Public Personnel Administra-
tion, cltes two articles on pointers
j for starting a sucessful career.
| One article, published In Esquire
is entitled, “Young Man, Become
a Secretary.” The other was an
article by H. J. Bernard in his
column “Looking Inside,” a regu-
jar feature in The Leader,

The Personnel News, quoting
the Esquire article, shys:

“Good, fast, efficient,
male secretaries are ms sought
after these days, {t states, fs
smart engineers. And it is a career
route that takes a young man to
the top via the front door, rather
than the mail room.

“The preference for male secre-
taries {s by no means universal,
the article admits, But why do
some executives want male secre-
taries? Among the reasons given:
‘They take orders more easily than
women, get things done faster,
adjust more easily to “crazy work-
ing hours” and high pressure,

“Interestingly, in the United
Siates the leading employer of
male secretaries is the federal
government — some 16,000, The
article lsts several illustrious pre~
decessors In this field—Alexander
Hamilton was secretary to George
Washington. Others who have
reached public acclaim via the
secretarial route are Fiorello La
| Guardia, one-time Mayor of New
York; Leon Henderson, wartime
head of the Office of Price Adinin-
istration, and former Supreme
Court Justice and Secretary of
State James F. Byrnes—who be-
wan his career as a court stenog-
rapher when the previous one be-
came a murder victim!

nard, contributing editor. He re-

‘of wetting a good start In the legal
profession. The fiedgeing barrister
would do well, Mr, Bernard says,
to take all civil service examina=
tions for lawyers that ore avail«
able—tocal state, and federal,

“The beginning salary may not
be too high, but then, he states,
neither ts the net income of the
beginning independent practition=
er—and an income of $10,000 a
lyear can be expected In
course.

“Ta a subsequent issie a reader
(Juliay Chalet, a frequent con-
tributor to The Leadsr's Letters
to the Editor column) writes In to
state his view that the young
lawyer—man OR woman—should
take civil service examinations for
ether kinds of positions as well.
He suggests the police force, social
or housing services, or « Job as @
court attache doing non-legal
work. The license to practice may
very well be the key to advance~
ment, he felt.”

Pennsylvania Gains

Dr, Elmer D. Graper, Chairman
of Pennsylvania’s Civil Service
Commission, announced the
amendment, of the Stute's classi-
feation plan, The plan now cov-
ers some 1200 Classes of positions
— with more (han 550 classes
added since the adoption In 193¢
of new classification and pay
plan, Addition of the new classes
became necessary as n result of
a Governor's Executive Board re
olution, which @ year ago ex-
tended civil service coverage to
10,000 professional and technical
positions.

In addition, the State's Civil
Service Commission has under-
gone an internal reorganization,
which will expand the work of re-
cruitment, treining, and classifi-
feation, by giving them Bureau

for which no experience {5 re-

1, neither experience nor training

Education Factors

Where training ts ® require-

js demanded, the minimum ts
grammar school graduation, a
rare inclusion, while a senior high
school diploma ts becoming more
and more often a requirement for
other Jobs, nnd of course a col-
lege degree is a standard require-
ment for various types of tech-
nical, professional or sclentific
Jobs, An equivalency diploma sat-
tafies the senior high school di-
ploma requirement in any case.

The Federal service examtina-
tion for Jobs starting mostly at
$3,670, does not require a college
degree, but If one lacks such edu-
ention, then experience fs neces-
sary. Thus, while Jooking mainly
for college graduates, the Pederal
fovernment will appoint persons
whose experience ts considered the
equivalent of successfully com

Question, Please

1 AM & City employes working
as a cleaner on @ per annum basis,
Tam unhappy tn the department
where I now work. How do I go
about transfering to another de-
partment? Would I receive the
same salary that I get now, or
would I have to start at the en-
trance salary again? JF.C.

To transfer, you would have to
find another City department that
was willing to acept you and then
get a release from your own de-
partment, You would then have
to get the approval of the City
Clyil Service Commission. The pay
rate depends on budget lines, but
in general the pay would be the
aame,

BECUSE my title and pay are
incorrect, I have been signing my
New York City paycheck under
protest. May an appeal be made

for back pay on the basis of sign-
ing under protest? The delay in
determining @ Gorrect title han
been chronic, What ts the purpose
of signing under protest? H.

Any rectification by the City
probably would be made effective
retroactive to the time of com~-
plaint, The reason for signing un-
der protest # to protect one’s
rights. Without such protest,
rights are usually eqnsidered in
Taw as being watved.

'57 Goal For New High

Tn his annual report on mem-
bership in the Civil Service Em-
ployees Association, Vito J. Ferro,
ehairman of the statewide mem-
bership committee, told delegates
to the CSEA’s annual meeting last
month that the Association had
surpassed its goal of 70,000 mem-
bers for 1957,

A new goal of 80,000 members
plus ls the aim of the Association
now, Mr. Ferro said.

Report to Delegates

In reporting to delegates Mr.
Fereo declared:

“The totel paid membership in
‘The Civil Service Employees As- |
soviation, Inc, as of September |
30, 1957 was approximately 76,-
488 (this includes 1,600 members
on payroll deduction temporarily
off the payrolls) compared with
58.779 on the same date a year!
ago-—or an increase during the |
year of 17,709. |

“Membership in the State Divi-
sion by payroll deduction totals)
86,117 plus direct payments of
8,807, total of 64,724 as compared |
with 47,380 members last year—/
An increase in the State Division
of 17,344. 1

“Paid membership in the
County Division for the year end-|
ing September 30, 1957 was 11,764 |
compared with 11,346 for last year |
—an Increase of 418,

“Headquarters has billed State
Division members who made di-/|
rect payments for the year just |
Closed and urged conversion to
payroll deduction of dues and the
response is very satisfactory. A
high percentage of State Division
members who paid direct last year |
will convert to the payroll deduc-
tion arrangement during the new
year

|

Active Committees Urged

“President Powers has urged all
Chapters to establish complete. |
active Membership Committees
Qnd Headquarters has recently |
furnished our Chapters with
material for a complete member- |
ship canvass to secure the support
of ull eligible employees, Through
use of machine accounting equip-
ment recently installed at Head-
quarters, in the near future State
Division Chapters will be furn-
ished with payroll deduction au-
thority cards addressed to each
non-member which will require
only the signature of the em:
ployee to consummate CSEA)/
membership.

tive to ostablishment of payroll

In the various political subdivi- |
sions and will cooperate with each

for the membership campaign has |
also been sent to all County Chap-
ters.

MENTAL HYGIENE MEMO

By A. J. COCCARO
Twenty-Five Year's Service

Both private industry and public service have traditionally made
the quarter centurys service mark one of recognition to the employee.
Management knows that it ts the veteran worker who has made the
company and the service what It is today,

Employees come and go—turnover on all levels sometimes is very
Jorge. Tr@ining is expensive in both time and wasted material or
motion. The veteran employee often does his Job so well that he
makes a somewhat diMoult task look easy to the non-specialized
observer.

Many of our Jeading firms honor their twenty-five year employees
by presenting them with gold watches, government bonds, raises in
salary, cash bonus or a combination of the above.

The State of New York presently awards their twenty-five year
employees a service pin, Our employees get little satisfaction out of
this award, They point out that this is hardly a tribute to « loyal
servant of twenty-five years,

‘The service pins are not worn by the men, and T've yet to find
the woman who will advertise the fact that she ts old enough to have
had twenty-five years of service,

Advantage of Extra Increment

The advantage of an additional inctement to the employee after
twenty-five years service ts that it will Incrense hix salary at = time
when {t will favorably affect his pensions.

In giving the employee an increment to look forward to, tt would
also improve employee morale and incentive.

An advantage to the State would be that this increment would
be an tmportant employee benefit and would cost the State nothing
for the first twenty-five years of an employee's service, This inctement
might be incentive enough to hold a good employee.

Being very familiar with the need of making the twenty-five
year service mark more meaningful, your delegates at the last C.S.E.A.
convention resolved, that the Association sponsor or support legisia-
tion to provide an extra increment after completion of twenty-five
