Ciwil Sewice How Should a U. S.
; War Service Appointee
SsEADER Think of His Future

~~ By CHARLES SULLIVAN
—

WASHINGTON—Here is what is
generally believed to be the best
statement on the future of war
service appointees in the Federal

Service, It is a statement by Civil

Service Commissioner Arthur 8,
Flemming,

2 He poses this question: “What

are our prospects of continuing to

' work for the United States Gov-
‘ ernment?”

Here is his answer:
“No one knows what the size of
; rm the Federal Government is going

to be after the cessation of hos-
tilities in Europe, nor what it is
going to be after the cessation of
hostilities in the Pacific.

“But for a period of time fol-
$ lowing the cessation of hostilities
in the Pacific, we know that the
4 problems of demobilization, the
+ post-war responsibilities of Gov-
ernment, and the normal opera-
4 . tions of Government will require
the continued existence of many
thousarids of positions now filled

a by war-service appoifitees.

Some Will Be Released
“Some war-service appointees

will be released from the Pederal
i Payroll because of the return of
4 men and women who left other
than temporary positions to enter
the Armed Forces,
“i “Other war-service appointees
, , will lose their positions on the
Federal payroll because of the re-
oe . turn to their former positions of
i career civilian employees who
transferred to agencies where, in
- the judgment of the Civil Service
{ Commission, they could make a
1 better contribution to the war
- program,

“Still other war-service appoint.
' see pages §2, 15 ees will lose their positions on the
Federal payroll because of a re-
q duction in the total personnel
strength of the Federal Govern-
ment, These reductions will be
carried out with due regard to
efficiency, preference for veterans;

and length of service,

“But after all of these things

- e have happened, there will still be
e war-service appointees in positions
@ ues oO da U e in the Federal Government, both
- after the cessation of hostilities in
Europe, and after the cessation of

hostilities in the Pacific.

“In some instances, the war-
service appointees who are left will

By ROBERT

F. WAGNER

United States Senator, State of New York

At the present time, 35

million workers in the United

States are insured under the various unemployment in-
surance laws of the 48 states. Machinists, shipyard work-
ers, carpenters, clerks, typists and messengers who work
for private employers are covered under the State laws
but’ the machinist, shipyard worker, carpenter, clerk,
typist or messenger who works for the Federal Govern-
ment is not protected under the existing unemployment
insurance laws. This discrimination is unfair and unjust.

During the war millions of
Americans patriotically went to
work for Uncle Sam in Navy
Yards, arsenals, munition plants,
and in the offices of the War De-
partment, Navy Department, Vet-
erans' Administration, and other
departments set up to help win
the war. If these workers had
taken jobs in private industry,
they would have been covered
under the unemployment insur-
ance laws of the various States.
But because they went to work
for the Federal Government, un-
employment insurance protection
is denied them.

Only Federal legislation can
correct this injustice. Unemploy-
ment insurance must be extended
to Federal employees, by Federal
legislation. Such legislation should
be enacted immediately and it
should provide for the payment
of adequate benefits.

States’ Pay Inadequate

The existing unemployment in-
surance laws of the various States
are grossly inadequate to meet
the needs of unemployed persons.
The benefits which they provide
average about $16 a week for a
period of 10 to 20 weeks, Even the
New York unemployment insur-
ance law, which is one of the bet-
ter laws in the country, provides
benefits of only $10 to $18 a week

for a period of 20 weeks, The
amount and duration of benefits
paid to Federal employees should
vat be restricted to the existing

—————
What Congress
Did To The Women

Rep. Clare Boothe Luce (R.,
Conn.) declared that Congress's
failure to pass the bills granting
Federal employees unemploy-
ment compensation and travel
home pay worked a special
hardship on women, ,

“Government's recruiting ac-
tivities to mobilize civilians for
war was directed principally at
women, until now, in Washing-
58 per cent”
of the Federal personnel.” she
said. “As a result the failure
to give adequate protection to
Federal employees during the
reconversion period will work
the greatest hardships on wo-
men.”

®he cited the last war when
Bernard Baruch had to dig in-
to his own pocket to pay the fare
home for thousands of girls
stranded with not enough money
to buy a railroad ticket.

low levels now provided under
State laws, Federal sick leave, va-
cation leave, and other matters re-
lating to employment in the Fed-
eral Government are all handled

States, I believe that unemploy-
ment insurance should be handled
in the same way, The Congress
should determine the amount and
the duration of benefits to be paid
to unemployed Federal workers so
that there will be no discrimina-
tion among various groups of
Federal employees.
It's A Cost of the War

‘The cost of providing such un-
| employment insurance benefits
| to Federal employees should be re-

of the war. Their work has been
recognized as being essential to
the war effort. Not only is it just
that they and their families should
be protected if they become un-
employed, but it is to the interest
of all of us that we have unem-
ployment insurance legislation
which will protect the whole com- |
munity during any period of un- |
employment, This great nation
must not and will not permit the
return of conditions which re-
sulted in the breadlines and the
destitution and despair of the last
depression, Unemployment in-
surance is a first line of defense
in meeting the problem of unem-
‘ployment, Federal employees must
be covered under unemployment
insurance for the good of the em-
ployee and his family and for the
welfare of the nation as a whole.

Now turn to editorial,

'No Serious Cuts Pending

Letter on Demobilization

WASHINGTON—President Roosevelt has started the
axe swinging on the war agencies. He gave the executioner’s
job to Budget Director Harold Smith in a letter instructing
him to make plans for the cuts. y

But the letter didn't say any-
thing that wasn't generally under-
stood about what to expect when
peace comes. And the President
admitted that the reductions in
federal personnel will be determ-
ined by the progress of the war in
Europe and the pacific.

No Serious Cuts Pending

Budget officials were quick to
warn government workers that no
serious cuts were pending—al-
ways contingent on the end of
the war—and to stay on the job,
It was revealed that the employee
ceiling, fixed by the budget and to
be released the first of next month
for the last quarter, are very little
below this quarter and in some
instances higher.

Conservative estimates on when
the slashes that the President ask-
ed for would come were all more
than a year. He admitted that
‘most of the planning will prob-
ably have to wait for execution
until the Japs have surrendered”—
and there is no way of telling

| when that will happen,
Year In the Future

‘The most optimistic hopes of
the surrender of the Japs put the
event more than a year in the
future.

Immediate job of Bureau of the
Budget 1s carefully to analyze the
functions of the war agencies and
blueprint the gradual reconversion
to peace time size, There will
| probably be a general reorganiza-
tion and the transfer of the re-
maining functions of the war
! agencies to the old line agencies,

The President urged Smith to
focus attention on the adjustments
needed after the war with Ger-
many. Experts believe the cut
then will be minor. And that per-
sonnel will be able to be transferred
to expanding agencies such as
Veterans Administration, Foreign
Economic Administration, and ac-
tivities connected with disposal
of surplus property and contract
termination.

‘Rubbery' Probation
Takes Hold In NYC Service

Appointees to civil service fobs receive their positions first for
a six-month probationary period, If they complete ths period satis-

factorily, they are considered permanent employees. However, @

recent BUT has developed in the NYC service

—_—— — | Because of manpower shortages,
the Investigation Bureau of the

Commission is unable to complete
its check-up of new employees

appointed, or in many cases even

they want advancement.

Nevertheless, a wave of resent-
ment {s reported in the firehouses
as a result of a recent order from
headquarters directing that the
men must report to the Fire De-
partment Company School.

It is customary for the men of
each company to report to this
sch-ol, located at 68th Street be-

something the men ordinarily
don't gripe about, This year,
however, it’s different. Here's why:

Date men say that back in

return to the two-platoon system,
he wouldn't require the men to go
to school. The two-platoon system

\unfair to ask them to put in an

additional half-day, which they
must take out of thelr own time.

—During the period of the hur-

ricane which hit New York,
many of these men working 84
hours a week were recalled, and
put in an additional eight hour
tour. Cases are cited of firemen
who didn’t go home for four days
on end!

All of them speak highly of the
training made available at the
Company School. They practice
“evolutions,” which consist of such
jobs as dragging great lengths of
hose up a burning building, then
having the hoseline burst, and re-
pairing it quickly. They do “fire

Dept. for Post-War;
Hopes to Build Up Depleted Staff

New York City’s Welfare Department is preparing
for the time when the war will end, for the period of re-
conversion, and for any eventuality which may come with-

in the next few years.
Commissioner Harry W. Marsh
this week told The LEADER that

the department is planning on a |

rising case-load. “Just when that
will come, we don’t know,” said
the commissioner, but his depart-
ment is prepared for whatever
may come,

The present over-all caseload |

| has hit an all time low—in the
vicinity of 100.000 cases. Most of
these are persons who require
| old-age assistance. The home-re-
Het load, that is, cases of families

requiring direct rehef, is down)

probably to its irreducible mini-
mum, and consists almost entirely
of unemployables,

“That load is expected to grow.”
said the commissioner. “Even if
we should have « period of pros-
perity following the war,
will possibly be a hiatus, a time
during which Industries are going
from wartime to peacetime pro-
| duction, when people will be out
| of work, and we'll be called upon
to help them. Even unemploy-
ment compensation can't do the
whole job.”

There are now approximately

there |

|
4400 employees on the Welfare
staff. Of these, social investigators
number less than 2,000, The aver-
age caseload carried by a single
investigator varies between 75 and
100, according to Marsh. ‘The de- |
partment is now aiming to get |
the caseload down to 75, the num- |
ber recommended by the State. |

In personnel, the department is
now below quota. Huge numbers |
have left the department in the
past three years for other jobs
and to enter the armed forces. |
‘The agency, anxious over its losses, |
is about to institute a tightened
leave policy. It will be much more |
difficult to obtain leave of absence |
for other employment than it has |
than is has hitherto been. The
reason for this is that the depart-
ment’s officials feel their em-
ployee-roster has reached a dan-
gerous low.

1500 in Armed Forces
About 1500 Welfare employees
are in the armed services. A re-
cent survey conducted by letter
indicates that most of those will

‘The issue, as presented by the

‘The administration believes tha

The employment of a full-

officers in the various City depart-

other departments, the deputy
commissioner personally handles

Increasing Demand
For Medical Aides

In announcing the start of the
fall semester, M. M. Mandl,
founder of the Mandl School, 1634
Broadway at 60th Street, states
that, “The heavy demand for
Medical Assistants and Labora- |
tory Technicians will increase
after the war.” * |

The school, in its new home
facing Central Park, has installed
the most up-to-date equipment of
its kind for the training of Med-
ical Assistants, Leroratory and
X-Ray Technicians, |

that the Welfare Department,

a large number of New York City's
civil service employees, may re-

U.S. Employees Haven't
Lost Jobless Pay Fight

ELL, Congress took the George bill without the
W provision calling for unemployment insurance to

Federal employees. The Senate, which had been
strong for the employees on this issue, acceded to the
Ways and Means Committee of the House, which had
been truculent against it. The Senators acquiesced only
because the remaining. items in the George bill were con-
sidered important in the reconyersion period, and speed
was essential,

Nevertheless, the Federal employees have not lost.
Their position is stronger than it ever has been. And their
chances of obtaining an unemployment compensation
measure are good. It will have to be, though, as a sep-
arate bill, and not part of the over-all George act.

So powerful was the case for the employees, that they
mustered support from such men as Bernard Baruch, Goy-
ernor Warren of California, Senator Wagner of New York,
Clare Booth Luce, and even Arthur Krock, conservative
political commentator of the New York Times. The issue
thus transcends parties—for the persons represented in
this group are important cogs in both major political
parties,

What's to be done now? :

First, Federal employees and their organizations
should not let up. They must continue to pound the drums.
The movement now under way (reported in last week’s
LEADER) for collaboration of the three major Federal |
employee organizatibns on legislative matters, offers a
method of presenting. the politicians with a solid unity
among the employees themselves. The public relations of
the situation should not be overlooked; Newspaper editors,
columnists, radio commentators should be given the facts
—and the facts add up inevitably to the necessity of pass-
ing an unemployment insurance bill for the employees. _

And above all—talk back to the politicians! This is
the time of year they've got to listen!

Federal employees are close to winning for them-|
selves what employees in private industry won years ago. |
But they can only obtain this protection by continuing the
fight until the moment an unemployment insurance bill is
passed by both houses of Congress.

Don't give up now!

The Democratic Picture

Here's how the Democratic
political picture in New York
State sizes up at this point:
First, with State chairman Paul
Fitzpatrick touring the State
sweating out good will, making
promises, trying to build up
party spirit, two old-timers are
doing the basic political spade-
work: They're Vincent Dailey
and Clarence Low. ... Morale
among the clubhouse boys is
still down, This is natural after
12 years of disappointment for
most of them, who didn’t get
the fat jobs they thought were
waiting for them, The work
these boys are Yoing amounts
to exactly zero in terms of
political effectiveness, You'll
find three types of Democrats
nowadays: The laissez faire or
“lazy” type, who are sure the
election is in the bag. If it goes
their way, they’ take credit.
Then you'll find the idealistic
type, to whom FD is God, and
must win the election by virtue
of that fact, These talk mostly
to themse! » And third, are
the realists, who know the elec
tion figures, and aren't afraid
of facts, whether pleasant or
ugly, The realists are also the
pessimists. , .
of the Stale,
City, too, which are witnessing
great Dewey zeal, haven't seen
a single Democratic Roosevelt
worker or even Roosevelt poster,
The Republicans are work-
ing hard, first, because one
group wants to get rid of “
man in the White House”
second group is hungry for jobs.
The Democrats haven't got
similar driving impulses, . . «
How much off base the Demo-
cratic organizations are is evi-
denced by the fact that Robert
Wagner, who has done as much
for labor as any man, failed to
get an AFL endorsement; and,
in fact, Tom Curran, his GOP
opponent in the Senatorial race,
was able to split that branch of
the labor movement, breaking
off the support of Longshore-
man Joe Ryan, building trades
officials, atid certain AFL fire-
man groups, However, this
piece of business has poured a
dash of cold water on the Demo-
crats, and may yet be enough
to spark them before they fall
completely apart. Incidentally,
Assemblyman Robert Crews was
helpful to Curran in lining up
AFL support, . . . Another

have appealed to the Salary Standardization Board for a
rehearing, for a statement of reasons why the wage raise

Demand for the rehearing de-
clared the Board's refusal to grant

ployment conditions vary widely. among 19 separate State depart-
ments. There is little similarity between the work in an administra-
tive department, such as the Education Department, and a cus-
todial department, such as the Department of Correction. Working

hours in administrative departments are usually limited to the re-)

@uirements of public convenience, but our state institutions must
be operated 24 hours each day and 365 days each year,

‘The variations in the work of the different State departments
@o not, however, warrant the differences that exist in many of the
ules and regulations applicable to the employees of those departments.
ig semi-independent authority of each of the 19 department heads

is in the past been exercised in such a way that employees have
been subject to 19 different varieties of sick leave rules, vacation
gules and wages policies. I shall attempt, in this and in next week's
issue of The LEADER briefly to review the Association's Jong cam-
paign for uniformity in employment conditions and outline the pro-
gress that has been made as well as what remains to be done,
Equal Pay For Equal Work

BEFORE THE INAUGURATION of the Feld-Hamilton Career
TaW in 1938, the wage policy of the state was aptly described as a “By
guess and by God" system, Some groups of employees, notably in the
Correction and Mental Hygiene departments, had statutory salary
Scales which had been set up during and after the close of World
‘War I. The great majority of State employees, however, received

hatever Amount the department head could induce the Budget
tor to pay.

The Griffenhagen survey, for which the State spent $100,000 in!

1931-32, focused attention upon the unbelievably chaotic conditions
‘that had prevailed for many years, The Griffenhagen report showed
that an employee of one department sometimes received two or three
times the salary received by an employee of another department per-
forming exactly the same type of work. There was no uniformity in
entering wages for positions of the same type, Advancement was in-
frequent and uncertain. When the Budget Director could be in-
‘duced to give the department a certain amount for salary increases,
some departments apportioned the increases equally while others
handed out the increases only to political or personal fayorities.
‘The old system, if it can be called a system at all, was, it will be
ebserved, an extremely “flexible” system.
Feld-Hamilton Law Passed

APTER A LONG CAMPAIGN, the Association succeeded in ob-
taining the passage of the Feld-Hamilton career law, which was de-
signed to correct these long-standing abuses, For the first time, the
State was committed to the policy of “equal pay for equal work”
and reasonable periodic increases in salary as a reward for efficient
services,

The career law, at the time of ivs adoption, was revolutionary in
eoncept. It infused new life in State government, and for the first
time laid the foundation for a real career service, It was hailed by
administrators and taxpayers’ organizations, as well as by employees,
as the best method of handling the public employee salary problem
that had yet been devised. The success of the law in the departmental
service made inevitable its extension to the institutions. The exten-
-sion to the institutional employees was delayed until 1943,

Institutional employees, who had long sought coverage under
the career law, awaited its inauguration in the hope and expectation
that the obsolete salary plan whch had been in effect for the past
twenty years, would at last be corrected. When the new system
became effective October 1, 1943, they were dismayed and dishearten-
ed. They found that, in far too many cases, the new schedules were
actually lower than the rates that had previously prevailed. In far
too many cases the titles assigned did not correctly describe the work
that fl being done. The wave of protest was immediate and wide-
spread.

The Process of Correction

THE PROCESS OF CORRECTION has been slow, The Executive

“Committee has condemned in forceful terms the administrative bun- |

voc with the best law that can be devised. Employees, nevertheless,
are convinced that the Feld-Eamilton career law ts
‘Sound. It operated with complete success in the departments and it
can be easily as satisfactory in the institutions if the same principles
fare followed,

When the legislature extended the Feld-Hamilton law to the in-
stitutions, it intended that the old sweat-shop wage policy should
be wiped out and that a liberal wage policy should be adopted to
Put the institutional employees on a basis of equality with depart-
mental employees, That policy has been thwarted by an unsympathe-

‘tic, pinch-penny attitude on the part of those responsible for setting
up new salary schedules for institutional employees.

” Present conditions in the institutional service must and will be
corrected. The Association will continue its battle for the institu-
tional employees until the policy of equal pay for equal work becomes

reality. We know that the remedy is through an enlightened ad-
inistration of established career law principles. The Standardiza-
tion Board must function independently and must be free from dom-

“ination by the Budget Director. The employees of the State are
united in their conviction that the remedy is through proper admin-
istration of the existing law . . . not by any fundamental change in
the law itself. ~

Request for the rehearing was
sent by the Barge Canal Employees
Association, a chapter of the Asso-
ciation of State Civil Service Em-

signed by Associa-
tion President Clifford C. Shoro.
Complex Work
The decision of the Board, the
communication states, was received
with “amazement” by the hun-
dreds of employees who operate
the State Barge Canal System.
These employees had pointed out
at the hearings that they: operate
and repair the complex motors
and lock machinery on the canal
system and had asked for the
same rates that are paid to other
mechanics and electricians in the
State service. Officials of the de-
partment, in supporting the ap-
peals before the Board, had stated |
that, while the ordinary life of |
industrial machinery is ten years, |
ths canal employees had success-
fully kept in first class condition
machinery which is over thirty
years old, thereby saving the State
thousands of dollars.
Appeal Will Be Watched

‘The appeal for reconsideration,
which will be watched with great}
interest by thousands of employees |

The appeal reads in part, as
follows:

“So far as we have been able to
ascertain, no person or agency op-
posed our appeal openly or on the
record. If facts or claims have
been submitted to the Board which
have not been made available to
us, we believe that, in all fairness,
we should have the opportunity of
meeting and snswering those facts

As matters now stand, we cannot
but conclude that the decision of
the Board was made as a result
of a misunderstanding. We, there-
fore, respectfully request—

“(L) That the Board reconsider
all of the foregoing appeals,

“(2) That the Board promptly
issue a statement outlining the
reasons for its decision and the
undisclosed facts, if any, upon
which its decision was based.

“(3) That the appeals be set
down for a public hearing, at any

jconvenient time the Board may

designate, so that the employees
of the Canal System may have the
opportunity of answering, on the
record, the facts or reasons upon
pea the Board based its deci-
sion."

MINISTRATION

A SPECIAL SECTION OF THE CIVIL SERVICE LEADER
AMERICA'S LARGEST WEEKLY FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES

AND TO PLANS,

PROGRAMS AND TECH-

NIQUES OF OFFICIALS, EXECUTIVES, ADMINISTRATORS AND PERSONNEL IN ALL PUBLIC AGENCIES

NEW JERSEY’S State Depart-
Ment of Economic Development
came into being on July 1, 1944.
It was created to anticipate post~-
war problems and to plan and co-
ordinate the State's part in the
future economic, industrial, ag-
ricultural, social and recreational
activities of its citizens. The
Department consists of a Com-
missioner, who is in charge of the
administrative work of the or-
ganization, and an Economic
Council of ten members, a policy
forming group representing in-
dustry, labor, veterans, local gov-
ernment and the public,

Three Divisions

There are three principle sub-
divisions of the Department of
Economic Development:

The Division of Veterans’ Ser-
vices which includes the Bureaus
of Claims and Benefits, Veterans’
Loans and Veterans’ Employ-
ment. The Bureau of Claims
concerns itself primarily in as-
sisting veterans and their de-
pendents to secure benefits from
the Federal Government to which
they may be entitled, but will help

veterans to solve any kind of
problem with which they may be
confronted. The Bureau of Vet-
erans’ Loans, through a sub-
division called the Veterans’
Loan Authority, guarantees, on
behalf of the State, 90% of loans
up to $3,000 secured by the vet-
erans from New Jersey banks for
the purpose of establishing or re-
establishing themselves in a busi-
ness or profession, The Bureau
of Veterans’ Employment admin-
isters a program of voluntary
commitments by employers and
labor organizations for their par-
ticipation in a plan of veterans
preference in private employment,

The Division of Commerce
and Munlelpat Ald cooperates
with Industry In the development
and administration of programs
for the improvement of business
and working conditions through-
out the State, the development
of technical services, and the “in-
crease of employment opportun-
ities and the encouragement of
free private enterprise,” This
Division also administers a Mun-
icipal Service Bureau, which op-

This Is the Story of One State's Bureau
of Economic Development — How It
Works, What It Hopes to Accomplish.

Setting Up a State Economic Bureau

By PAUL G. TOMLINSON
Chief, Bureau of State Publicity and Infirmation Service,
State of New Jersey

erates the New Jersey program
of Public Assistance. It has a
Bureau of Research and Statis-
tics; a Bureau of Economic De-
velopment charged with the duty
of making known the resources
and opportunities in the State;
and a Bureau of State Publicity
and Information.

‘The Division of Planning and
“Engineering has a “master plan”
for the physical development
of the State including, among
other things, more efficient
rural land utilization, removal
of slum areas in cities. and the
improvement of urban living and
housing conditions generally. It
is accumulating a Public Work
Reserve, which consists of a list
of plans for public work projects
to be undertaken by counties,
municipalities, school districts
and other State Departments at
any future time when the needs
and conditions are most favor-
able.

What the Department Does

The Department of Economic
Development is engaged in co-
ordinating all plans for the phys-
ical development of New Jersey,
including plans for highways,
airpofts, parks, parkways, water
supply development, terminal and
harbor facilities, food control,
land use, recreation areas and
forest reservations. It will de-
velop plans for improved trans-
portation facilities in suburbrn
residential areas; make studies
of rural land utilization for re-
forestation, reclamation and re-
creation, summer residence and

industrial and urban expansion.
Its program calls for the in-
vestigation of living conditions,

and ways and means of improv~
It will plan dwelling

It will work with the farmers
in the production and marketing
of their crops.

‘The Department, in short, will
do everything possible to aid and
encourage an orderly and coor~
dinated program for the future
development of New Jersey. It
will work with county, municipal
and regional boards; industry;
chambers of commerce; any or-
ganization to which it can be of
assistance in accomplishing this
goal

‘The Department of Economic
Development was created to co-
operate with the citizens of New
Jersey, not to compete with them,
and it is expected that the De~
partment’s plans for the future
‘will supplement and complement
those formulated by private or-
ganizations and industries. One
of its functions is to ease the _
period of transition for war to
peace, but primarily its goal is
the planning and administration
of a long range program for the
future of New Jersey. It is study~
ing opportunities within the State
and, by the development of its
resources and facilities expects
to make New Jersey a better
place in which to live and work,

The principal office of the New
Jersey Department of Economic
Development is at 150 East State
Street, Trenton N, J., and Charles

New Bus Heater
Of Interest
To Communities

A new idea in truck and bus
heaters combines the usual func-
tions of cab heating and wind-
Shield defrosting, with the ad-
dition of trailer space heating
and preheating of batteries, en-
gine manifold and crankcase as
desired. The device should be of
interest to communities’ which
Operate large vehicles,

The combustion process of va-
por entraining successfully ap-

plied to aircraft heaters, is used
in the mechanism, The heat ex-
changer has four compartments
with “cross-over” passes between.
Thus the flame and hot gases
have a travel of four times the

length of the heat exchanger
with the maximum area of heat-
ing surface exposed to the heating
air. Combustion air is pre-heat-
ed in a tube which extends
through the length of one ex-
changer compartment,

The heater has been used ln
heavy trucks and trailers, artic
rescue sleds, mobile laboratories,
busses and other vehicles.
Mounted on wheels or skids it
may be used for pre-heating
engines of bulldozers, cranes,
compressors and numerous other
applications where heat is an aid
to starting or operating, Cur-
rent consumption is low, The

device is manufactured by the

Community post-war traffic
problem number one, in the ma-
jority opinion of the nation’s
traffic experts, will be what the
pre-war motorist considered his
major headache—parking.

‘That is the consensus of a sur-
vey just completed by the Na-
tional Conservation Bureau, ac-
cident prevention department of
the Association of Casualty and
Surety Executives,

The Big Problems

To determine what principal
traffic problems must be solved
so as to expedite safe and effi-
cient motor vehicle-and-pede:
trian flow after the war, a qu
tionnaire listing ten traffic pro!
lems was sent recently to a
representative list of motor-ve-
hicle and transportation experts
in all parts of the nation. Replies
revealed that the following prob-
lems were considered most ur-
gent:

1, Parking.

2. Pedestrian control
safety.

3. Redesign
highways,

As examples of what may be
accomplished by the application
of traffic engineering measures,
observe the following illustra-
tions: [These examples have been

Cooperation Needed

One point is of utmost impor-
tance. Increased and constant
cooperation is necessary between
highway designers, police offi-
cers, traffic safety educators,
traffic engineers, and public of-
ficials, if truly ximum safety
_and efficiency of traffic is to be
obtained,

For the past year, a committee
of the Institute of Traffic Engi-

neers, composed of some thirty
leading city and state traffic en-
gineers, has been working on a
comprehensive plan to determine
what projects should receive mi
jor attention in meeting post~
traffic problems, While this plan
is still in process of develop-
ment, we may prophesy with con~
fidence that these special meas-
ures will be widely utilized:

Greater use of one-way streets,
where need demands, in both
large and small communities.

Conversion of existing or re-
constructed wide thoroughfares
into limited-access streets and
highways by more restriction of
turning movements and the use
of continuous raised medial
strips.

Provision of attractive and con-
venient off-street parking so that
more curb parking may be pro-
hibited in congested areas.

Application of traffic control
devices and measures that will
function more in accordance with
varying traffic demands and con~
ditions.

Application of more pedestrian
safeguards through greater use
of pedestrian barricades, special
walks, islands, and grade separa~
tions, and greater use of pedes-
trian signals.

Development and application
of improved forms of intersec~
tion channelization to provide
safer but also more rapid move-
ment of traffic,

The following account of the manner in which municipalities
of New York State may prepare for post-war public works projects
fs by Charles H, Sells, Superintendent of Public Works, New York

State:

State of New York,

and 62 cities,
countless _ spectal pro’
districts. Each of these subdivi-
sions has its own independent
government and taxing power
and is, within certain limits, re-
sponsible for the construction,
maintenance, and operation of
public works facilities. Under
the supervision of the New York
State Post-War Planning law,
each of these political subdivi-
sions is entitled to apply to the
State Post-War Public Works
Planning Comission for a sub-
sidy, or grant, to assist in the
preparation of plans and specifi-
cations for ioe public
works constructi

The initiative eats with the
political subdivision although the
Post-War Planning Commission
does maintain a staff of skilled
employees whose function it is to
travel about the State and dis-
cuss this program with the local
officials and to assist them.

Project Must Be Lasting

When received by the Post-
War Commission, these applica-
tions are referred to the Depart-
ment of Public Works, and each
application is investigated to as-
certain its merits. The Superin-
tendent of Public Works is pre-
sumed to certify to the Planning
Commission that the proposed
project is of an enduring char-
acter; that it is needed in the
natural development of the com-
munity; that the estimated con-
struction costs are reasonable;
and that plans and specifications
can be prepared with sufficient
speed to make possible construc-
tion at a reasonably early date.
The application is subjected to
the scrutiny of the Comptroller
of the State, to determine that

by locality is financially able
proceed,

oie Division of Commerce is
presumed to present information
as to whether or not the project
is ‘ted in an area in which
unemployment may or may not
be expected in the immediate
post-war era,

With all of this information at
hand, the applications are then
submitted to the Post-War Plan-
ning Commission; individually
studied; and allocated Liga beeline
cally in relation to the proposed
distribution of funds available in
the different areas of the State.
After considetation the applica-
tion is either approved, disap-

The State law provides that,
with respect to approved projects,
the State will share equally with
the locality in the cost of the
preparation of the plans and
specifications up to a maximum
Joint participation in the amount
of : per cent of the estimated
cost.

AS of January 1, 1944, 3.407
applications have been received,
having an sgeregate estimated
construction cost of $327,817,918,

Dept. of Assessment and Tazation
North Te ida, N. Y.

THERE EXISTS at present a
situation which, in my opinion,
results in unfair treatment of
certain public employees under
the New York State Retirement
System.

Under the present set-up, &
member who held a full-time po-
sition prior to January 1, 1921,
is entitled to a prior service cer-
tificate granting him full-time
for service rendered prior to Jan-
uary 1, 1921, but a member who
held a part-time position, such as
an alderman or supervisor in one
of the smaller communities in
the State, is entitled to only a
fraction of the time actually
served, in.a prior service certifi-
cate, For example, a member of
the Retirement System who was
a full-time employee prior to
January 1, 1921 for a period of
six years would receive a prior
service certificate allowing him
six years on such certificate. On
the other hand, a member who
was an alderman or county su~
pervisor for a Hke period of six
years prior to January 1, 1921,
would be allowed only one-sixth
of the time served or one year on
his prior service certificate,

The Results

This results in a situation
wherein a part-time officer or
employee, such as an alderman or
supervisor, receiving a yearly sal-
ary of $3,000, could claim only
partial time for services rendered
prior to January 1, 1921, but a
full-time employee, such as & po~
leeman or fireman, having an
annual salary of $1,000, could
claim full-time for services ren-
dered prior to that date,

I believe that this matter
should be remedied by permitting
a part-time employee or officer
to claim full-time on a prior ser=
viee certificate.

Fight Over
Personnel Man

(Continued From Page 5)

to the Health Department could
have been easily effected. How-
ever, according to the Budget
office, the Housing Authority re-
fused to release him from his
present job.
Counciiman's Version

Councilman Cohen gives a dif-
ferent version of the situation.
First, he argues, there is no need
for such a job in the Health De-
partment, The same functions
‘are now being performed as part

) of their regular duties by Matthew

A. Byrne, Secretary of the de-
partment and

Oster-
* mann, Chief Clerk. Both of these

men, says Cohen, are highly com-
petent individuals, “and know as
much about civil service as any
personnel officer,”

Moreover, as the Councilman

interprets it, at first there was no |

, Intention of holding an examina-

tion. The idea was that Rechet-
nick would get the job. Also, he

its out that Rechetnick came
into the City service fairly re-
cently as a civil service examiner

searning $2400. He was then a pro-

* visional

appointee in the Civil
Service Commission, He took an
examination and was appointed
to a permanent post at $1800. He
was quickly advanced, and with-
in three years he reached $4,350,
Cohen feels that Rechetnick hag
“been pushed up fast,” and he

“questions the reasons. The Bud-

Director points out, however,

at he has no control over ex-
Ppenditures by the N.Y.C. Housing
Authority.

Rechetnick is no longer in’ the
runing for the Health Dept. job.
The name of Rose Burke, Welfare

partment personnel officer, has

nm mentioned as a possible can-
didate. Rechetnick's standing in

wthe field of personnel administra-

tion is high, incidentally,

’ Exam Being Prepared

Meanwhile the Civil Service
‘Commission is going ahead and

Preparing the announcement of
‘An open-competitive examination
for the post. It is to be in the un-
get service, which means that
final salary won't be known
until the Budget Director decides
oad the post should actually pay.
resent employees in the Health
Department who feel they could
fill the job would have liked a
promotion examination. But they
were turned down in this, and all
New York residents possessing the
Qualifications will be able to com-
pete for the post, when it is final-
dy thrown open,

The Budget Director believes
that anyone possessing the neces-
sary qualifications for the job
should have an opportunity to
compete in the event an examina-
tion is held,

Morris Paris on Air

Customs Employees Sh
~" Night Pay, Says U. S. Civil Service

WASHINGTON—The United States Civil Service
Commission last week submitted to Congress the draft of
a bill to provide overtime compensation and a differential
for regularly scheduled night work for certain employees
of the Bureau of Customs. With the proposed bill, the
Commission submitted to Congress recommendations on
Bureau of Customs pay policies. The night work provisions
set an important precedent for all Federal employees.

In May, 1944, the Senate Fin-
ance Committee and the House
Committee on Ways and Means
were considering whether the

Government or the carrier
or shipper concerned should pay
for inspection work of customs
employees on Sundays and holi-

‘The proposed bill provides as
follo'

That customs-inspector posi-
tions remain subject to the Classi-
fication Act and that they be al-
located in accordance with the
Civil Service Commission's stand-

days at international bridges, fer- | 845:

and tunnels between the
ted States sand Canada and
the United States and Mexico.
Incidentally, certain questions
arose concerning the pay of cus-
toms employees,

Because. it was not possible to
Settle these questions in the time
available, the Civil Service Com-
mission was directed by an act of
June 3, 1944, to make a study of
the pay problems involved and to

Teport to Congress with recom-
mendations,

ries
‘Unit

Pay Differential for Night Shifts

‘That customs employees be paid
@ 10 per cent differential for work
between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. in a
regularly scheduled tour of duty.
This differential would be in ac-
cordance with existing practice in
many parts of the Federal service
and in industry,

Overtime Pay

That regular overtime—for work
which fs required and regularly
scheduled in order to provide cus-
toms service on a 24-hour basis,
and which is in excess of 40 hours

ould Get Higher

He Can't Collect

A NYC employee lost chances
of collecting disability retire-
ment from the City for an ac-
cident, which he says happened
in the line of duty, because he
waited too long to file his claim,

Unit to Have

Last week the first step in the
tions Unit for the expanding Veter:
York City took place.

- . New Vet Agency Employee

Minor Role

formation of an Employees Rela;
‘ans Administration offices in New

As planned by Charles Reichert, manager of the New York
branch of the agency, the unit will eventually consist of two employee
relations officers (who will probably be old-time civil service em-
Ployees from Washington), 3 clerks and a stenographer.

The first person appointed to
the new unit is James Fullerton,
who has been active in employee
organization work in the 346
Broadway office. He will serve as
one of the clerks. While awaiting
formation of the unit, he has been
assigned to work as a “booster”
to spur blood donations to the
American Red Cross Blood Bank.
Grievances Not Major Function

While many of the employees |
of the Administration are pri-
marily interested in the unit as an
outlet for their grievances and a
Means of supmrtting their com- |
laints to the. proper top men
the office, Mr, Reichert stressed
the fact that handling employee
grievances is not the major func-
tion of the new setup, |
He seems to feel that it will
Serve primarily as a morale builder
by supervising employee reer
tion, welfare, housing problems;
handling medical examinations
and safety problems in the offices.
However, such an outcome
would be a severe disappointment
to the “Vet” employees, who had
expected that some drastic action |
would be taken to reach the root
of troubles which, they say, are
affecting morale and production.

agencies which may be in the
process of liquidation,

“In most instances, however,
where war-service appointees are
still employed by the Federal Goy-
ernment, they will find that, if
they are to remain in these posi-
tions for an indefinite period of
time, they will have to compete
successfully in open competitive
examinations conducted by the
Civil Service Commission.

“And so, when a war service
appointee thinks of the future he
does not have to think necessarily
in terms of an immediate sever-
ance of his connections with the
U. 8. Government, If he has ren-
dered real service, if he continues
to render real service, and if he
does those things which will en-
able him to demonstrate his abil-
ity to render even more effective
service, he may find that he will
have the opportunity of contin-
ulng to work for the Government
over ® period of years, and he may
even find that he will ultimately
become @ part of the career ser-
vice of the Federal Government,
To some extent, such an outcome
is dependent upon circumstances,
To a very real extent it is de-
pendent upon him.”
