Chemists and chemical engi-
neers with specialized training
constitute the more serious short-
age. The supply is adequate in
some fields, but chemists who
have had specialized experience in
such fields as explosives, sound,
radio, and nonferrous metallurgy
ave in great demand,

LINK TRAINER OPERATOR:
Believe it or not, but the Civil
vice Commission announced a
test for link trainer operator on
August 28, and three weeks later
only two persons had applied and
both had been disqualified for
lack of training.

Now what is a link trainer op-
erator? Well, it seems that a
link trainer is a new device to
the aviation field. Specifically,
it's a device designed to simulate
conditions of flight that oceur in
planes in actual day and night
flying. Such a machine is in-
stalled in the Munitions Building
in Washington and if you can
operate the apparatus, get in
touch immediately with the Com-
mission and the War Department
will be ever so grateful,

TABULATING MACHINE OP-
ERATORS: There is really a se~
rious shortage among these oper-
ators. Agencies in urgent need
of tabulating machine operators
are the War Department, Interior
Department, Bituminous Coal Di-
vision, and the Social Security
Board in Baltimore.

It was more than four months
ago that the Civil Service Com-
mission announced its exam for
junior and under-tabulating ma-
Chine operators, and for junior
and under-alphabetic tabulating
machine operators, To date, for
all four positions, around 1,500

have been declared eligible but
less than half of these have re-
fused appointments in Washing-
ton, and right now the registers
are virtually exhausted.

The registers, as set up Sept. 13,
showed 357 eligibles for junior
tabulating machine operator, 562
eligibles for under-tabulating ma-
chine operator, 209 eligibles for
junior alphabetic tabulating ma-
chine operator, and 361 eligibles
for under-alphabetic tabulating
machine operator.

METEOROLOGICAL OBSERV-
ERS: The Weather Bureau in
the Commerce Department needs
assistant observers in meteorology
who will get $1,620. Applications
should be filed with the Civil
Service Commission before Oc-
tober 23. Eligibles must have
completed at least two years of
college study in meteorology or
have had at least two years of
full-time, paid experience as a
meteorological observer. Other
meteorological positions are open
that pay from $2,000 to $5,600.

AGRICULTURAL STATIS-
TICIANS: For employment in
the Agricultural Marketing Serv-
ice of the Agriculture Depart-
ment. Positions pay from $1,600
to $2,620. Civil Service announce-
ments for these jobs will close
on October 23.

JUNIOR PHYSICISTS: $2,000,
Other physicists jobs are open
that pay from $2,600 to $5,600.
‘The junior grade tests will be
‘unassembled’ for the first time.
This means that applicants will
be graded on their experience and
education. Those who qualified
for the physicist option of the
junior professional assistant test
earlier this year need not apply
and the eligibles will be trans-
fered to the new register.

Investigator Eligibles
Set Program for Year

A program of future activity for
the members of the U. S, Investi-
gator Eligibles’ Association has
been outlined. ‘The course will be
presented at a big meeting sched-
uled for October 9, Three main
objectives were kept in mind dur-
ing formulstion of the program:
(1) to obtain the utmost possible
assignment of each investigator
list to specific positions for which

the list was established, such as
customs and custom patrol in-
specto:, assistant and associate
investigator; (2) to have each in-
vestigator list recorded by the
Civil Service Commission as
“most appropriate’ for all relc-

vant positions where no specific
Civil Service lists are in exist
ence; three of the lists have al-
dy becn declared appropriate
the such positions as naval
civilian police and junior inspec-
tor in the Alcohol Tax Unit; (3)
to have the special qualifications
of thore on the general investi-
gator lists examined so that for
existing vacancies in emergencies
requiring special skills, eligibles
possessing those skills may re»
ceive appointment without delay.
Leaders of the eligibles associa-
tion point out that such a pro-
gram is helpful not only to them,
but to the government as well.
‘They argue that many defense po-
siions can in this way be filled

fied people.
Two Important Items
the
eligibles will probably learn akout
two important items which the ex-
ecutive board is probing, One of
there items concerns the certif!-
cation of an eligible who is 29th
on a local assistant investigator
list, while the eligible who is
number 5 on the same list has
never been queried or Interviewed,
Tho other item relates to the
pending examination for treasury
enforcement agent at $2,600 a
year, ‘The duties are considered
io be so simi'ar to those for as-
sistant investigator in both the
law and accounting categories
that the need for a new register
isn’t clear; at least that's how
the eligibles feel,
Few Recent Appointments

A recent communication fvom
the Civil Service Commission re-
veals that only 7 appointments
¢ been made from assistant in-
vestigator registers, Of these, 1
was from the pharmacy list, 3
from the accounting list, Inct+
dentally, of the 169 eligibles on
the pharmacy list, the Commis
sion reports that 4 are women,
A federal department or office
has the right to request which
sex it desives, For the sake of
the four valiant eligibles, says
the Investigator Hligibles’’ Asso-
ciation, “we hope that the Trea-
sury Department won't forget
these girls when it requires the
services of feminine investigators
in the pharmacy field.”

No location has yet been set for
the October 9 meeting, which is
expected to be one of the largest
since the eligibles first got to-
gether, The meeting place will
be in next week's LEADER,

the next 16 months, or until Jan.
uary 1, 1943.

There’s some guesswork about
these figures, it’s to be admitted,
but they are as official as can be
had out of Washington. The
ures were compiled by the Civil

Service Commission after a sur-
vey was made of each agency to
determine the need for new em-
ployees,

Several defense agencies weren't
in a position to determine their
needs, all of which means that the
actual hiring probably will exceed
the estimates. The fact is that
the Commission's estimates for
the past yeay have been 17 per
cent under actual hirings,

Shortages already exist in a
number of job categories. and be-
fore Uncle Sam gets through hir-
ing for defense there will be
shortages in a great number of
fields unless the Commission be-
gins a wide-spread training pro-
gram for youngsters who want to
enter the federal service.

And that's just what is planned,

‘Training Expanded

The training division of the
U. 8. Clyil Service Commission is
under Winston B. Stephens, who
is now rapidly expanding ity
Here is what has been done with-
in the past few days:

Guy Moffett, former administra-
tor of the Spelman Fund, who
handled Commission appoint~
ments during Wor'd War 1 to the
War and Navy departments, has
been appointed assistant to Wil-
liam H, McReynolds, the Presi-
dents administrative assistant on
personnel problems. He will co-
ordinate training work as he
developed training programs dur-
ing the first World War. He will
also work on. extension of the
Classification Act to the field.

Dean Herluf Olsen of the Amos
Tuck School at Dartmouth Uni-
versity has joined the training
staff to arrange for pre-service
training at colleges and univer-
sities. He'll induce educational
institutions to give courses that
will equip youngsters to qualify
for federal jobs,

Dr. Earl Strong, who has been
teaching this summer at N.Y.U.
and Columbia, will be given the
task for insuring an adequate
supply of clerical workers for the
Government.

Others have been and will be
hired to set up training courses
for every type of federal workers
from skilled mechanic to scientist,

er information on the new fed-
eral training program.

ASKS REPEAL
OF HATCH ACT

“Repeal the Hatch Act."

That's the sentiment of Repre-
sentative Martin J. Kennedy,
New York, and it's embodied in
a pill introduced last week in
Congress,

‘The Hatch Act severely curtails
the political activities of U.
government employees, and has
been the source of much contro-
versy since its passage in 1940,
Representative Kennedy argues
that the act has hindered only

ployee, while the ‘big-shoti
have continued with comparative
Treddora in their political activi-

es.

All organizations of civil ser-
vice employees are today deeply
concerned with the trerid of rising
prices which cut into their sal-
aries. The concern is reflected
in the resolutions being passed by
these organizations, in the appre-
hensive letters which reach this
newspaper, The federal govern-
ment, where it comes into com-
petition with private employers,
js in some cases experiencing
serious difficulty in filling posi-
tions at the current salaries.

has asked the team of Mead-
Ramspeck—Senator James M.

it. At the same time, The

FDR DECRIES
RACE BIAS IN
CIVIL SERVICE

The President of the United
States doesn’t want race bias in
government agencies,

While the Jaw forbids discrimi-
nation against prospective em-
ployees on the ground of race or
creed, there have been frequent
complaints that personnel heads
do not always heed the law. The
President's statement, which went
to the chiefs of all government
departments and agencies, reads:

“It has come to my attention
that there is in the federal es-
tablishment a lack of uniformity
and possibly some lack of sympa~
thetic attitude toward the prob-
lems of minority groups, partic
ularly those relating to the em-
ployment and assignment of Ne-
groes in the Federal Civil Service.

“With a view to improving the
situation, it is my desire that all
departments and independent es-
tablishments in the Federal Gov-
ernment make a thorough ex-
amination of their personnel poli-
cies and practices to the end that
they may be able to assure me
that in the federal service the
doors of employment are open to
all loyal and qualified workers
regardless of creed, race or na-
tional origin,

“It is imperative that we deal
with this problem speedily and
effectively. I shall look for im-
mediate steps to be taken by all
departments and independent es-
tablishments of the government
to facilitate and put into effect
this policy of non-discrimination
in federal employment.””

gested a bill that would grant
raises to federal employees in a
manner to adjust them to rising
living costs. Mr. Finkelstein’s
letter follows in full;

Senator James M. Mead,
United States Senate,
Washington, D. C.

Dear Jim:

As publisher of The CIVIL
SERVICE LEADER, I have been
made increasingly aware of a
problem which I recommend to
your earnest attention. I refer
to the growing disparity between
rising prices, on the one hand,
and static civil service salaries, on
the other, The civil servant
is beginning to feel that he
is in effect suffering a salary
cut as he must pay more for
whatever he buys, and actually
that is the fact. The government
employee is today a kind of eco-
nomic step-child in a nation
where employees in private in-
dustry are earning the best wages
in years,

The situation cuts two ways.
This is indicated by a report from
our Washington correspondent,
who informs us that personnel
chieftains are becoming alarmed
over the rapidly-increasing rate
of declinations by eligibles on
civil service registers, These eli-
gibles are simply refusing to
come to Washington to accept

Yar

low-paid jobs in the $1,260 and
$1,440 categories especially, The
percentage of refusals ran up to
97 per cent in one recent case
when only 10 multilith operators
out of 300 canvassed were willing
to accept jobs. The General Ac-
counting Office tried to hire 250
persons from the accounting and
auditing assistant exam given re-
cently, The register hasn’t been
set up yet, but 1,000 names of
those who passed were submitted
to the GAO by the Civil Service
Commission, These people were
offered $1,440, with a promise of
promotion to $1,620 and $1,800
within a few months, Less than
50 uccepted, a turndown of 95 per
cent. :

These ‘aren't isolated instances
You of course know of the short-
ages in formerly popular fields.
It's difficult to get good typists
to come to Washington, for ex-
ample, at the salaries now being
paid. Consequently there is bound
to be a real lowering of efficiency
in the public servic

You have been outstanding in
your activity on behalf of govern-
ment employees, and civil ser-
vants of the United States look
to your leadership in seeing that
they obtain a square deal,

Tam aware of the political real-
ities of the situation, I know that

Leader Asks Pay Raise
For All U. S. Employees

it may be a difficult job to put
through salary raises for federal
employees. But the logic of the
times demands tha’ it be done.
And civil servants know that they
have no stauncher friends than
you in the Congress. It was dif-
ficult, too, to engineer the
Ramspeck bill and the pay-pro-
motion bill through Congress—but
you successfully carried the ball
in both cases.

‘A number of bills have already
been dropped into the hopper
providing for a salary raise to
federal employees in some man-

ner. No bill has as yet, to my
knowledge, been introduced
which would help adjust the

salaries of all federal employees
on the basis of increased living
costs.

I and the staff of The CIVIL
SERVICE LEADER are anxious
to extend thorough cooperation
as we have on other civil service
bills that you have sponsored.
The services of civil service ex-
perts in our organizations are at
your disposal for information and
aid.

Please let me have your views
on this subject.

Best personal regards.

Cordially,

Newspaper, Radio Men

Government Will Take Them Without Written Test

WASHINGTON. — There’s a
real shortage of competent per-
sons who can act as information
specialists—newspaper and radio
men. The United States needs in-
formation specialists in connec-
tion with every phase of defense
activity. And to get its men, the
U, S. will rate applicants on ex-
perience and fitness alone—that
is, no written test will be given.

Publications of all kinds must
be prepared for special interest
groups and for the general pub-
lic. Broadcasts must be written
and put on the air interpreting
current news events and aiding
the defense effort. The agencies
among others, which need people
are these: War, Agriculture, In-

terior, Office of Emergency Man-
agement.
Over 100 Opening

To fill these positions, the
United States Civil Service Com-
mission has announced an exam-
ination for information specialists
in press and publications, and in
radio, Over 100 jobs must be
filled from among those who ap-
ply. Salaries range from $2,600
to $4,600 a year. Bligibles on the

employment list established last
year as @ result of the informa-
tion specialist exam given then
need not take this new examina-
tion unless they have acquired
Additional experience and wish to
apply for a higher grade. Their
names will be retained on the
current register.

‘The fields in which persons are
needed:

(a) Foreign news reporting or

editing.
(b) General news _interpreta-
tions (including editorial writ-

ing),

(c) National administration.

(a) Agriculture (biology, physi-

Requirements

To qualify for the press and
Publications option, applicants are
required to have responsible pro-
fessional experience in writing or
editing for a large newspaper, na-
tional magazine, news or in-
formation service, or govern-
mental agency,

To qualify for the radio option,
experience is required in educa-
tional or informational radio
work, including the preparation
of radio manuscripts and the
broadcasting of radio programs.

For all of the positions, appli-
cants may substitute study in a
residence educational institution
above high-school grade for part
of the experience. The actual rat-
ing of applicants will be on the
basis of their education, experi-
ence, and corroborative evidence
of ability. In connection with the
radio option, a voice test may be
required,

Applications must be on file
with the Washington office of the

Civil Service Commission not
later than October 23. In the
New York area, application

blanks may be secured at the
federal building, 641 Washington
Street, Manhattan,

May Civil Servants Strike?

Three Authorities—Three Opinions

Have public
right to strike?
Yes. ..No.. . Maybe.

The National Municipal Re-
view, monthly publication of the
National Municipal League, posed
this question to three of the na-
tion’s outstanding thinkers on
social problems. Back came three
diverse answers,

Roger N. Baldwin, director of
the American Civil Liberties
Union, vigorously affirms the
right of public employees to
strike, Maintaining that unions
and collective bargaining are es-
sential to industrial democracy,
Baldwin concludes

“The public service should lead
the way in model practices, ad-
ding to the guarantee of the Civil
Service system the protection af-
forded only by independent or-
ganizations of employees dealing
freely with their superiors,”

Kaplan Says No

Strong exception is taken by Hy
Eliot Kaplan, executive secretary

employees the

WAA® Kove

of the National Civil Service Re-
form League. He points to the
difference between public and pri-
vate employment, stating that ‘no
(public) employee has the right
to interfere with the orderly con-
duct of public affairs or to In-
terrupt public services for the
People without the people's con-
sent.”

Encouraging public employees
to use means other than petition-
ing the legislature and public of-
ficlals, says Mr. Kaplan, leads to
the danger of ‘a self-perpetuat-
ing labor dictatorship, which
could conceivably overcome the
will of the people through control
of governmental machinery man-
ned by public employees,’”

He admits that the relationships
of public employees are in a state
of flux as government moves from
the policing to the servicing func-
tions, His article ends, though,
on this note:

“We may be reasonably sure
that the concepts of labor rela~
tions common to private enter-
prise and the practices indulged
in by capital and labor are not

practicable or desirable In
Civil Service,’
Won't Prevent Strikes

In answering ‘maybe, Profes:
Sor Sterling D. Spero of N.Y.U.,
asserts that ‘It is clear that no
mere denial of the right to strike
will of itself prevent strikes if
workers regard their grievances
sufficiently great to assume
risks,""

But he finds even greater dan-
gers inherent in the current trend
toward increased public service.
First, an expanding public service
Means ‘a creeping. totalitarian
trend” as ever larger sections of
the working class may lose their
right to strike, Second, labor
may resist the expansion of gov-
ernment activity in order to pre-
serve its freedom, thus making
government ineffective in meeting
the problems of the times.

Special Credits

‘There were no educational re
quirements on the last patrolman
test. However, credit not to exceed
04 percent was added to the mark
received on the mental test for
those candidates who had special-
ized formal education of the col-
lege grade in certain fields, In or
der to obtain this credit, candi-
dates first had to pass the mental
test, The credit was awarded oft
such subjects as physics, chemis«
try, engineering, law, languages,
sociology and social work,

Credit not to exceed ,0¢ percent
on the physical test was awarded
candidates for ‘disciplined formal
athletic training, such as particl-
pation in organized college ath-
letics or professional athletics
In order to obtain this credit, cans
didates first had to pass the physi-
cal examination,

The Physical Test

‘The physical examination in the
forthcoming patrolman test iz ex-
pected to be very similar to the
physical examination which was
held this summer in the fireman
test, This test consisted of four
parts, endurance, agility, strength
and coordination,

The endurance part of the test,
which carried a weight of 4 out of
10, was the toughest of all, ‘The
endurance test was a mile run. In
order to get 100 per cent, the fire-
man ndidate had to run the
mile in five minutes. In order to
get a passing mark of 70, he had
to run it in seven minutes,

‘The agility test, which carried
a weight of 3, consisted of a can-
didate's running, dodging, jump-
ing, and climbing through and
over a series of obstacles in a lim-
ited space and limited period of
time. In the strength test, the
candidate had to lift an 80-pound
dumbbell with each hand, The co-
ordination test examined the can-
didate for his eye-hand and eye-
foot reaction to signals. The rela-
tive weights assigned to these
parts of the test were, strength,
2; coordination, 1.

‘The Mental Test

In order to prepare for the
mental test in the new patrolman
examination, Commissioner Sayre
advises candidates to familiarize
themselves with recent civil ser-
vice examinations in similar
fields, Prospective patrolman

tions on last June's fireman
mental test and on the last patrol-
man examinations, Embryo cops

written examinations consisted of

this type of question, a problem is
stated and usually five possible
answers are given, The candid

Dummies

Dummies are out!

Acting on a memorandum of
Paul M, Brennan, head of the
medical phisical bureau of the
city commission, the Commi:

sioners yoted that in future ex
aminations for Firemen and
Patrolmen the dummy lift should
be eliminated,

Another finding was that the
r test should not be run
again unless the electric timing
equipped for the whole test
“excepting of course unavoidable
breakdowns,”

‘The Commission also decided
that “spectators be notified and
arrangements made to handle
them by erection of temporary
stands, or otherwise.

A final new ruling states that
on the notice for examination,
candidates should be advised that

lateness may be a cause for re-
jection.

No, further explanation was
made,

PAUL M. BRENNAN

“What is your conception of
the ideal patrolman?”

This question was asked of
calm, unruffled, scholarly Paul M.
Brennan, director of the physical
and medical bureau of the Muni
pal Civil Service Commission. In
the past twelve years, the veteran
civil service examiner has super-
vised the physical and medical ex-
amination of the majority of the
younger patrolmen on the current
police force.

“My conception of an ideal

Patrolman,” Mr. Brennan said,

“would be a man of moral and physical courage. Of moral courage
because a man without that is seriously handicapped in any profes-
sion, Of physical courage, because even the possession of this fac
ulty alone is a tremendous asset in such a virile occupation as that

of a police officer,

“The ideal patrolman ought als.

in this twentieth century, be a

man of mental ability very considerably above the average. The
reason for this is to be found in the observation that persons with
whom policemen must deal today, are increasingly more intelligent,

‘d say that a third quality the ideal patrolman should possess

is physical strength and a rugged constitution. It is hardly neces-
sary to state to anyone who is familiar with the day-in, day-out rou-
tine of a police officer that this characteristic is of prime im-
Portance. In one sentence I would sum up my conception of an ideal
patrolman by saying that he's a young man with a correct philosophy
of life, with a will made strong by practice to follow this philosophy,
with a sound mind in a sound body.”

answer out of the five which he
thinks is the correct answer. As
an illustration of this, the follow-
ing question was asked on the last
patrolman examination,

“Suppose that a lawyer is at-
tacked in a washroom by a man
who, from behind the lawyer, de-
livered several blows with a car-
penter’s mallet. From this in-
formation it 1s safe to infer (a)
that the attacker is young and
strong; (b) that the mallet was
either recently purchased or stol-
en; (c) that the attacker is a car-
pener; (4) that the washroom is
located in an office building; (e)
none of the foregoing.”

E was the correct answer in the
above question,

On last June's fireman test, the
following question was asked:
“The New York City analogue to
the State Legislature is the (a)
City Council; (b) Board of Es-
timate; (c) City Planning Com-
mission; (d) newly constituted in-
terdepartmental committee on ad-
ministration; (e) Municipal Civil
Service Commission,"*

A was the correct answer to the
question,

As in the most recent fireman
and patrolman examinations, can-
didates will have to pass the
mental examination before being
permitted to take the physical
test, On the last patrolman test,
the passing mark of the mental
test was set as the mark received
by the 8,600th candidate, On the
new test it most likely will be the
mark received by the 2,400th can-
didate,

Further details on the new
patrolman test will appear each
week in The LEADER. A special
study course prepared by Lieuten-
ant Bertrand P. Wray (retired) is
published each week in The
LEADER for the benefit of candl-
es who intend to take the new
patrolman tesi

Motorman-Conductor
Becomes Motorman

Because there is no real distinc-
tion between the titles, the City
Commission this week decided to
approve a request of the Board of
Transportation changing the title
of motorman-conductor in the
LN.D, division to motorman,
The titles, it is said, have been
used interchangeably in the
LN.D, division and the use of the
motorman title only is in entire
accord with the present reclassi-
fication procedure,

But, they think also that once
the department is lucky enough
to get a superman on their pay-
roll, the department should have
some sort of assurance the super-
men will stay with them for a
while, at least.

‘The catch is that while the Su-
permen may easily “get the

everyone is satisfied with their
work—boom!—the superman gets
an opportunity for something

What! Didn't the W. 8S. G. & E.

Sure they did. But they wanted

Johnny Mandell and a few of
the other leaders of the super-

Commissioner Correale.

Since then the existing fireman
listshas been certified to the posi-
tion.

“Didja read about the new set-

appropriate jobs would have to

missioner was asked.

“Yes, I did,” said Correale,
“and thet would suit us fine,

quainted with the promotional

PATROLMAN PREPARATION

An examination for Patrolman is expected to be held early in 1942.

Few men regardless of physical condition or education can hope to pass either the physical
or mental test with a high percentage without specialized training. During the last twenty-five
years close to 90% appointed to and promoted in the Police Department have been prepared by us.

Any young man who is interested in taking the coming Patrolman test is invited to call
and be examined by our physician without cost, attend a mental cl: and observe a physical class
in session. The special features of our physical training are the laps’ to a mile track on the
roof of our gymnasium, the agility test and the coordination machines.

Below is a letter from one of our students who received 99.4%, the highest physical rating in
the last examination for Fireman and who attended this Institute for Sanitation Man and was
No. 10 on the eligible list.

New York, New York,
Mr. M. J. Delehanty, Director, September 3, 1941.
The Delehanty Institute,

115 East 15th Street, New York, New York.
My dear Mr, Delehanty:

‘There is a distinctive advantage in attending your institution. And, even though I am only
one of the many thousands who come to you for instruction, I am none the less appreciative for
the advantage afforded by membership in your school.

I sincerely feel that my achievement in two recent civil service examinations directly
attributable to your eminent institution. Both mental and physical. In this day and time
practical achievement is, ostensibly, the very essence of life itself. Feeling that | am an average
American, with a possession of the more or less common desire for happiness and security, 1
believe that my case is a striking proof of the fact of the advantage I have mentioned.

To use Somewhat hard-head business terms, I suppose I can express myself in the follow-
ing fashion: Mine is a concrete case in which, by virtue of attendance at your institution, a
good job has been attained; a better job is coming up; earning power has been increased:
domestic tranquillity enhanced, and the future as well secured as I could possibly wish for at
present,

I thank you and the conscientious instructors, who have worked patiently with me.
genuinely glad to say that I am a satisfied Delehanty Student.

Respectfully yours,

Cops’ Duties Reason for Pay Increase
Keresman Argues That Job Is More Arduous Than Any Other

The campaign for a 15 per
cent increase for cops and fire-
men continued this week with
Peter Keresman, secretary of the
State Police Conference, calling
attention to the fact that during
the depression years, the uni-
formed forces cooperated with
city, municipal welfare and fra-
ternal groups by salary refunds
and donations to charitable or-
ganizations.

The police and firemen of the
state, at its Inst convention in
‘Utica, passed a resolution calling
for the salary incr ;

In an effort to enlist the public
in the pay raise program, Mr.
Keresman suggested member
groups air the risks, hazards and
responsibilities of the policeman.

Policeman's Duties
Comparing the duties of cops
with others, including private in-
dustry, Mr. Keresman pointed to
the following:

1. Policemen are subject to 24-
hour duty,

2. They are not permitted to
leave the city without official
consent, or permitted to engage in
any other occupation,

3. They receive no compensation
for extra duty.

4. They perform extra duty at

elections, celebrations, strikes,
parades and emergencies.
5. They work on Saturdays,

Sundays and holidays, which 1s
not required of many other mu-
nicipal employees,

6. Their duties require them to
work at least two-thirds of their
time at night without extra com-

pensation; whereas other em-
ployees receive extra compensa-
tion for night work.

7. They are required to appear
in court at least once on every
arrest for misdemeanor and sev-
eral times on felony, on their own
time, and the records show that
this time averages about three
weeks in every calendar year for
each policeman,

8, They are subject to constant
supervision and discipline and are
under extra expense for uniforms
and equipment,

9. Insurance records show that
policemen are placed in a haz-
ardous class, which makes their
insurance premiums about 30 per
cent greater than other municipal
employees in regular classifica-
tion,

Mr, Keresman said the best ex-
ample of a policeman’s continu-
ous service and response to duty
is the fact, that “out of 500
awards for heroic service per-
formed by policemen, twenty per
cent of such awards were present-
ed to members who were actually
off duty at the time the heroic
service was rendered,” He also
pointed out that recent adju
ment of pensions affecting police-
men require increased contribu-
tions,

Patrick Harnedy, head of the
Patrolmen’s Benevolent Associa-
tion, expects a bill to be intro-
duced in the 1942 legisiature call-
ing for the cop-fireman increase.
Meanwhile, he says, a program to
show the public just why pay
boosts should be granted is under
way.

For New York City employees, the coming fall and winter

semester will see the most extensive program of education and
study in the history of the city’s civil service. These courses
will cover a great variety of subject-matter, from letter-writing
to bombing protection. Employees interested in learning about
proper methods of supervision will have a course dealing with
such matters as training subordinates, handling grievances, pro-
viding incentives, There will be courses in secretarial training
and in public speaking. Regular courses, such as the one given
earlier this year by the Sanitation Department, will be de-
veloped far beyond their previous scope. Purposes of these

courses is to develop a highly-etficient,

thoroughly trained

body of civil servants in the nation’s greatest city.

Sanitation

Quota Filled

No More Appointments This Year

Over 150 sanitation eligibles
Were certified to 57 jobs as la-
borers in various city depart-
ments during the past week,

Sixty-five names were sent to the
Commissioner of Borough Works
of Queens to fill 34 permanent
jobs in his department at salaries
©f $1,500 per year. The highest
eligible reached on this certifica-
tion was number 478,

The same eligibles were certi-
fied to the Borough President of
Brooklyn to fill 20 laborer jobs at
the same salary, $1,500 per, Other
laborer jobs offered the super-
men were in the offices of the
Borough President of Manhattan
and the Borough President of
Richmond,

As announced {n last week's
LEADER, eligibles who accept
these permanent appropriate jobs
will be taken off the Sanitation
list for a period of one year.
This ruling was made by the
Civil Service Commission to pre-
yent the rapid turnover of
faborers in departments which
fased the Sanitation list,

No More This Year

It in highly improbable that any
More appointments will be made

to the Sanitation Department
from the Sanitation Eligible list
this year, The 179 vacancies in
the title of Junior Sanitation Man
have already been filled, The last
number appointed was number

410.
One hundred and sixty-three
vacancies exist in the title of

Sanitation man, Class B, The
first 70 of these vacancies will be
filled by eligibles on the recently
set up promotion list for this title.
To date, 36 names have been
certified to these jobs, which pay
$1,980 per year, However, no ap-
pointments have been made from
the promotion list yet,

The remaining vacancies in the
B title are expected to be filled
from the ranks of Junior Sanita-
tion Men, which, in turn, will
create more jobs for sanitation
eligibles. In order to become
appointed to the B rank,
Sanitation men must possess a
chauffeur's license and pass a
qualifying test on automotive
equipment,

OLD FIRE LIST
NEARING ITS END

Eighteen jobs as laborer in the
Department of Water Supply, Gas
and Electricity were offered ell-
gibles on the fireman list during
the week. The jobs, which were
previously offered Sanitation Man
eligibles, pay $1,620 per year,
The highest number certified on
the Fireman list for those open-
ings was number 3,661.

An additional laborer job in the
Department of Public Works, at
a salary of $1,500 per year was
also offered the Fireman list, Ell-
, up to number 3,683 were
certified to this vacancy, All of
these laborer positions are per-
manent.

‘The fireman list has one month
and a half to go before it ex-
pires on December 14, The last
number appointed to the Fire De-

partment was number 3,483. As
previously announced in The
LEADER, another batch of ap-

Pointments will be made before
the list dies, but the exact num-
ber of these appointments is not
known,

Maintainers Sent
To Education Board

Fifty-one eligibles on the main-
tainer’s helper, group D, list were
certified to appropriate jobs dur-
ing the week by the Civil Service
Commission, Under the process
of selective certification, 27
names, up to number 96 on the
1 were sent to the Board of
Education to fill 12 jobs as furni-
ture maintainer's helpers, Twen-
ty-four eligibles were certified to

Vet Relief
To Go Private?

The claim of eligibles on the so-
cial investigator list that they
are entitled to more than 100
veteran relief jobs jumped back
into the news this week with the
dispatch of a letter to Mayor La-
Guardia,

Signed by the eligibles associa-
tion, the letter mentions the
Tumor that should the Court of

relief jobs belong to the eligibles,

State Clerk, Steno, Typist Jobs
Will Be Rapidly Filled

More than 65,000 men and
women of all ages have filed for
the October 4th State tests for
junior and assistant clerk, junior
and assistant stenographer, and
junior and assistant typist, ac-
cording to estimates from the
State Civil Service Commission
last week-end, Of this total,
three-fourths hail from New York
City.

Employees of the Commission
have been working on a 24-hour
basis for days, sifting applications
and sending notices of the schools
to which they are to report to the
candidates. The great rush of ap-
plications came in during the final
week of filing: 10 days before the
deadline only 15,000 blanks had
been filed.

Requests for particular schools
are being honored by the Commis-
sion with this provision: as soon
as a school is filled up, additional
candidates who selected the school
in question are being sent to a
nearby building.

Three More Schools

Three additional Manhattan
schools — Textile, Haaren, and
George Washington—bave already
been pressed into service to
mect the huge filing, and ar-
rangements are under way now
for another school in Brooklyn.

Factory Inspector
Jobs This Week

First action on the factory in-
spector list is expected October
1, when nine appointments are to
be made, both in New York City
and upstate, According to Labor
Department officials, at least one
further appointment is to be
made within the next few weeks.

During the four-year period of
a list in this title, appointments
ordinarily go down to eligible
number 80, This will probably
hold true during the life of the
current list,

Factory inspectors investigate
factories and mercantile estab-
lishlishments, to see that they
comply with provisions of the
State Labor Law and the In-
dustrial Code, Among the factors
inspected are the construction of
buildings, exits, machinery safe-
guards, sanitary arrangements,
elevators, and hoistways, They
make records of violations and
occasionally appear in court.

The current list, established
August 18, has a total of 267 eli-
gibles,

All the exams—New York City,
New York State, and United
States — open at this time are
listed on the exam pages. For
complete examination news, fol-
low The LEADER exam pages
regularly,

ams are being given appeared in
a preceding issue of The
LEADER.)

In keeping with the Commis-
sion's practice of the past year,
tests are to be given on Saturday
in more than two dozen army
camps. Plans are also being made
to give the tests to selectees on
manoeuvers.

‘The tests are set for one o'clock
in the afternoon of October 4, with
candidates asked not to report be-
fore 12:30 p. m, With fingerprint-
ing and other details to go
through, it is doubtful if any can-
didate will be through before four
hours. Steno and typist applicants
take the same tests as the clerk
candidates; if they pass, they will
be given practical tests at a date
in December or January.

All Haste

It is likely that the Commission
will mark the papers and estab-
lish the lists with all haste as
some of the current lists for the
same titles are on their last legs.
As a matter of fact, only this past
week the junior stenographer list
was exhausted for permanent and
temporary appointment in Albany,
and provisionals will henceforth
be taken on

The junior steno list expires on
September 6, 1942, along with the
tant Stenographer,

Counselor List Held Up

Legal Case Must Be Heard

The open competitive list for
employment counselor, DPUI,
completed but awaiting printing
in the overworked offices of the
State Civil Service Commission,
won't be established until
October 10, and possibly later, On
that date, Albany Supreme Court
will listen the complaint of
nine candidates declared
gible at the experience interv!
who hold that the list should
appear until their appeals

to
ineli-

not

are

settled.

Although the number of cli
gibles on the pending list is not
yet known, what is known is that
there will probably be enough

jobs to go around for all the eli-

gibles. The promotion list, estab-
lished several months ago, is al-
ready used up.

Many candidates were failed
when they ostensibly did not
meet the re ement of one
year's paid employment work

with juniors under 21,
“Irreparable Injury”

According to the application of
Charles Rodell, one of the re-
jected candidates, promulgation

Competition is surprisingly keen for the October 4th series of
State exams, but thousands of jobs will be ed from the eligible
lists and the rewards are well worth some extra minutes of prepara-
tion. Remember, there will be hundreds of candidates receiving each
mark, and an extra point or two may mean the difference between
success and failure.

With this in mind, The LEADER presents the following 1;
minute hints to those taking the exam

Before Saturday—exam day—you will receive an official notice
to appear for the written test. This notice shows the exact time and
place. Give it to the examiner in charge.

If you're a candidate for a typist or steno exam, don’t burden
yourself with a typewriter. You'll only have to take it back with
you... . unused. However, if you pass the clerical exam, you'll be
notified to appear at a later day for the typing part of the test.

You are expected to appear at the examination room fully pre-
pared for the test. It is wise to get a good night's sleep the night
before, and spend Saturday morning resting, free from worry.

Once you are seated in the examination room and the paper
has been given to you, remain perfectly calm. Listen carefully to
the instructions of the monitor. When he gives the signal to start
reading the paper, go over all written instructions very carefully
so that you won't be wasting precious minutes afterwards.

You will be given a question booklet and an answer sheet. The
monitor in charge will tell you which tests and sections of tests you
are expected to answer.

Here are the instructions the State Civil Service Commission
gives you for answering the test:

(1) Use no pencil on the Answer Sheet other than the special
pencil given you by the Proctor, or a No. 1 (very soft) pencil.

(2) For each question, find the pair of dotted lines under the
letter which stands for the right answer and blacken the space be-
tween those lines with the special pencil, or with a No. 1 (very soft)
pencil,

(3) BE SURE to put your answer to each question opposite the
space with the same number as the question in the Question Book-
let. Use a blotter, ruler, or some other aid to assist you in keeping
your place.

(4) Mark each of your answers with a HEAVY BLACK PEN-
CIL MARK. Go over each mark two or three times. Press firmly
on the pencil. Make each answer as long as the dotted lines. The
illustration below shows how the marks should be made.

(5) If you change your mind, ERASE your first mark COM-
PLETELY. Before you hand in your paper, go over it carefully
and erase all pencil marks which are not answers.

(6) MARK ONE AND ONLY ONE PAIR OF DOTTED
LINES FOR EACH QUESTION, Ifa question is OMITTED or
if more than one pair of dotted lines is marked for any question, the
question will be marked WRONG.

You will be permitted to take the question booklet from the
examination room with you when you leave. Shortly afterwards, a
tentative set of key answers will be sent to you and made public, If
you have any valid objections to any of these answers, explain your
reasons in a letter to the Commission within five days.

ist requires from 3,000 hours up-
ward, some authorities holding
that 7,000 to 8,000 hours are
necessary. This training obviously
must be spread over three to five
years and the training is com-
bined with considerable produc-
tion work. Therefore, any school
claiming to train a man as a
“machinist,” even in a course
full-time (days) for six months,
is making an exaggerated false
statement. However, in 150 to 300
hours, a school can turn out a
first-class machine tool operator.

Field of Job Opportunities and
Earnings

Almost any plant making things
out of metal requires a certain
number of tool operators. As was
seen in the case of welding, prim-
ary defense industries have in-
duced many men to leave consum-
ers’ goods industries so that there
are many vacancies in plants
making non-defense items, A
larger field, however, is in the
greatly expanded primary defense
industries and their tens-of-thous-
ands of sub-contractors and sup-
pliers, These plants producing for
National Defense are being urged
to operate as nearly as possible
three full shifts per day.

The field is too large to discuss
in detail as to either general sub-
divisions or particular companies,
Suffice it to say that of acceptable
candidates, better than 90 per
cent can be placed in immediate
employment, Good men can often
have a choice of several differ-
ent locations, Two-thirds of the
men go to work in the metropoli-
tan New York area, including
northern New Jersey. However,
men free to work elsewhere often
can obtain better initial jobs.

Starting earnings may be as low

per week for the first two
weeks, this being based on §.50
per hour on a 40-hour week, with-
aut overtime, However, after this
probationary period, any man
who is willing to work hard could
count on a raise to at least $.60
per hour and all the overtime he
can stand, In addition, many
plants give an extra bonus (above
time and a half) for night work
and offer various wage induce-
ments based upon the quantity
and quality of a man’s produc-
tion, A fifty-four-hour week at 700
per hour results in
$28 plus $14.70 overtime or $42.70
per week,

Aviation

High officials in the aircraft in-
dustry estimate that from 170,000
to 200,000 additional men must. be
employed by the end of 1941 in the
aviation industry, This is in ex-
cess of those now already em-

. This is the lowest esti-

and this many more will be

ded in the first six months of

Inasmuch as practically 100

per cent of all those having air-

craft experience are now em

ployed, it is a large order to train

this number of men within the

next few months, and to train

them so that they shall be prop-
erly fitted for employment,

In the event that this country
should officially enter the war, it
is going to mean that women
are employed in the aviation in-
dustry, welding and machine
trades, and if the situation be-+
comes more serious the percent-

age will increase in proportion, It
jg something for the women of the
United States to bear in mind,

Only recently General Louis B,
Hershey, Deputy Director of the
the National Headquarters of the
Selective Service System, empha-
sized that every possible considers
ation be given to applicants for
deferment if they are occupied
in production, operation, or main-
tenance of aircraft whether it be
commercial airlines, or military.
Students and instructors in fly-
ing and mechanics schools are
specifically cited. This statement
was made to State Directors of
the Selective Service systems.
State boards are realizing the
necessity for trained men in the
various fields and are cooperat-
ing 100 per cent in deferring in-
dividuals if just cause can be
shown that they can serve their
country more efficiently in pro-
duction plants than in military
service,

Wage data: starting wages vary
—50, 55, 60, 62% cents per hour.
Usually increased 10 cents after
first month or two, Overtime usu-
ally given when a man proves
himself after trial period—1 to 2
months, Usual overtime is 16
hours which at time and a halt
is equal to 24 hours. This makes a
pay week of 64 hours though
working 56 hours. Many times
this is exceeded.

Many are wondering what will
happen when war ceases, Will the
bottom drop out? High aviation
officials feel that this is the neces-
sary “prod”? which the aviation
industry has needed to advance
itself to the state where it will
eventually come into Its own. It is
going to be a very simple matter
to change from the military type
airplane to the commercial type
and with the information which
has been gathered during the past
two years in the aviation field
great strides have been taken in
order that the aviation industry
will take over the automobile in-
dustry as the automobile industry
took over the horse and buggy in-
dustry, This is not an impossibil-
ity, and the next 15 or 20 years
may see just that occurring,

Army Will Train
Men in Flying

Young men who want to fly and
who lack the educational qualifi-
cations prescribed for flying
cadets now have a chance for a
flying career as enlisted non-com-
missioned pilots in the army, New
regulations promulgated by the
War Department provide that en-
listed mon in the army of the
United States, regardless of
whether they entered the service
by enlistment in the regular army,
memborship in the National
Guard or as trainees inducted un-
der the selective service act, may
apply for training as enlisted
pilots and if graduated from the
enlisted flying school will be as-
sured of carcers as pilots,

The regulations provide that
soldiers who have the necessary
qualifications—a high school edu-
cation or its equivalent is one of
them—may apply through military
channels for appointment to the
enlisted flying school. If they
complete the course successfully
they will be graduated with the
rating of staff sergeant pilots and
assigned to flying duty,

Below are the answers to the
stions from the previous State
clerk test that were published in
last week's issue:

Kleinfeld Scores
Flouting of Law

Alleged disregard of the law by
the Board of Education was
slapped by Supreme Court Justice
Philip M, Kleinfeld, sitting re-
cently in a case brought by eight
eligibles who maintain that va-
cancies are being filled by teach-
ers working out-of-license,

After listening to the plea of As-
sistant Corporation Counsel Nich-
olas Bucci that the Board of Hdu-
cation’s step was made necessary
by reduced funds, Justice Klein-
feld stated:

“In these days particularly it is
necessary to respect the law re-
gardless of economic conditions,
We have a right to expect the
Board of Education to obey and
respect the laws, The mere fact
that they do not receiye the
money to carry out their duties
is no excuse.”

The eligibles are on the year-
old list for teacher of home eco-

What the War Did to British Civil Service

A Timely Lesson for All American Government Employees

By William J. Brown

General Secretary, Civil Service
Clerical Association of
Great Britain

‘The impact of any war on the
Ciivl Service is always great. The
impact of a totalitarian war is
enormous,

In the years of peace it is very
much of an institution — rather
like the Church! Its motto tends
to be ‘when in doubt, say no!’
The road to success Nes rather in
avoiding mistakes than in display-
ing drive and initiative, There
develops a physiological attitude
of “playing for safety,"’

‘When war comes the situation
changes overnight. In the first
place, the Civil Service finds its
range of functions enormously
widened, for totalitarian war in-
volves the regulations of prac-
tically every phase of the life of
the community — Food prices are
regulated, gasolene is rationed —
a yast Ministry of Supply comes
into being. Large numbers of con-
trol commissions, concerned with
the control of such things as steel,
cotton, textiles, aluminum and etc.
arise. The service has to trans-
form itself into a vast organizing,
controlling, purchasing thing, And
the qualities demanded by war —
the qualities of drive and initia-
tive are very different from the
humdrum virtues of peace.

Finding People

Let us look at some of the fea-
tures of that impact in Britain.

In the first place,an immense in-
crease in the size of the service
has taken place. When the War
began the Civil Servants in Brit-
ain numbered about 350,000. After
two years of war, it numbers over
one half a million. How have
these large additional numbers
been recruited?

So far as clerical workers are
concerned the employment has
been used to recruit a vast force
of temporary labor.

For the recruitment of directing
staff, we have used a devise
known as the ‘Central Register’’
of the Ministry of Labor, This
“Central Register” comprises
names of people with directing
qualifications who were invited
to volunteer for service in govern-
ment departments, This register
therefore provides a kind of
“pool” from which departments
can draw for special'zed or di-
recting ports,

But there 1s open a third type
of recruitment as well. In war the
Civil Service has to go into the
field of industry, It has to have
relations with the aircraft indus-
try, the steel industry—all sorts of
industries, And the peace time
civil service does not possess the
necessary detailed knowledge of
such industries to enable it to
function effectively without ac-
quiring the services of specialists
in these fields. So during war,
large numbers of people with spe-
clalized knowledge in various in-
dustries, have been brought into
the military departments and into
the purchasing and supply de-
partments, They are, I suppose,
the equivalent of your “$1-a-year
men, in America,

Out feeling about these men —
some of whom give their service
for nothing and others of whom
take a salary—is a little mixed, It
must be acknowledged that they
put at the disposal of the Service
valuable specialized knowledge,
but we have a feeling that their
Permanent interest does not lie
with the Service but with the in-
dustries from which they have
come, We have a feeling that to
an extent this arrangement re-
sults in the business interests en-
camping themselves within the de-
partments,

While the Civil Service has re-
cruited a very large force of tem-

Porary staffs, ordinary open com-

petitive recruitment for the estab-
lished grades has been suspended
for the duration of the war. The
reason given for this is that it is
difficult under war conditions to
hold open competitive examina-
tions, This, howev-r, is plainly
not the real reason, for other ex-
aminations continue to be held in
Britain, The real reason is prob-
ably this, When an established
civil servant joins the army his
pay as a soldier is usually much
less than he would draw as a civil
servant, We have established the
principle that he should receive
from his department the differ
ence between his military and or-
dinary pay. This arrangement
does not apply to temporary civil
servants, ‘This is probably the rea-
son why the State refrains from
the recruitment of men who would
later be called up for the armed
forces and to whom the State
would be obliged to give the bal-
ance in pay and recruits a tem-
porary staff instead,

Promotions

A change has also taken place
in the character of promtion in
the war period. In the ordinary
way, a promotion from one grade
to another is a firm and definite
thing. For the war period how-
ever, it has been decided that pro-
motions shall be on what is de-
scribed as an ‘acting’ basis, This
means that the promotion is only
a provisional one and the pro-
moted officer may be required to
revert to his old grade at the end
of the war,

‘There are two reasons for this
decision, The first is that it is un-
fair that men who stay at home
should be promoted at a time
wien many of cheir colleagues are
serving with the army and cannot
therefore be considered for pro-
motion in civil service. The only
way around this difficulty is to
make war time promotions on a
tentative basis so that at the end
tf the war there may be a fluid
situation in which the claims’ of
the men who have served with the
armed forces may be fairly con-
sidered.

‘The second reason is this —- no-
body quite knows what the size of
the civil service is going to be
efter the war. If during the war
all appointments were made on a
permanent basis and if after the
war there was n great contraction
in the size of the service, we
should be faced with a serious re-
dundancy problens, To avoid both
these difficulties, it has been de:
cided that promotion shall be on
on “acting'’ basis.
Some Righty Taken Away

Another efect of the war has
Leen a certain weakening of the
right of self defense on the part of
Civil Servants. Ordinarily, if a
Civil Servant is charged with an
offense the charge must be formu-
lated against him in writing, He
must have an opportunity of an-
swering that charge in writing
and he must have the opportunity
of being represented by an officer
of his union in the inquiry which
follows, That is to say, in the
ordinary way, no man can be dis-
missed or punished without a full
and fair inquiry in which the right
of self defense is anundantly
granted, During the war how-
ever, the security branch of tie
government, has taken to itself
the right to compel departments
to dispense with the services of an

officer if they think that this is
desirablo in the interests of na+
tional security, And while I res

ognize that in time of war, na-
tional defense must come first, we
are not satisfied that all persons
upon whom the security depart-
ment casts a dubious eye ought to
be discharged. We are therefore
pressing that the Security Branch
should be obliged to make good its
case to the union of which the
officer is a member,

‘Trade Unions

The war has also had a con-
siderable impact in the way in
which trade unions and Whitley
Council machinery function in
the service,

‘The rights of the unions have
been most fully preserved, But
they have agreed to exercise those
rights with due regard for the
critical character of the national
situation, Thus in place of full
meetings of the various Whitley
Councils, we have substituted
small, energetic committees which
consume less time and labor than
the formal machinery would do.
Again while our rights of proceed-
ing to arbitrate remain undis-
turbed, we refrain from going to
the court on minor i which

Again we collaborate with the
administration in every possible
way to speed up the discharge of
public business and to cut out any
unnecessary processes in the han-
dling of it, The Civil Service
unions recognize as fully as any
other branch of the labor move-
ment, the over-riding necessity of
winning the war and without
abating one jot of our idealogical
position vis-a-vis the government,
we feel it part of our duty to do
everything we can to collaborate
with them in the winning of the
war,

In this connection the service
unions have made substantial
sacrifices with the full consent
and approval of their membership.
‘Thus we voluntarily agreed to ex-
tend the working week by vine
hours. We agreed to a stiff re-
duction in the amount of annual
leave during the war emergency.
There is a written undertaking on
the part of the government, that
such concession on our part shall
be for the period of the war only
and that the status quo shall be
restored when the emergency has
passed,

Living Costs

The effect of war is always to
create a sharp increase in the
cost of living in Britain, the cost
of living having gone up by about
30 percent. At a fai:ly early

The Facts About
Salaries Today

ET'S BE realistic about it.
Since the nation’s price structure has zoomed up-

— —

ward—that is, since the civil servant has had to
pay more for his clothes, his food, his furniture—The
LEADER has argued that his salary should be raised.
It looked like plain common sense to us. If prices go
up, and salaries stay the same, you are actually getting
@ pay cut—because that salary buys less than it used to.
Add the point that workers in private industry are get-
ting better wages than they have in years, and it's clear
that the civil servant is a kind of economic step-child
these days.
That’
Down in Washington, department chiefs are becom-

one side of the argument. Here's the other:

ing alarmed over the many eligibles on Civil Service

lists who are declining jobs. These eligibles are simply

refusing to come to Washington to accept low-paid po-
sitions. This is especially true in the $1,260 and $1,440
categories, The percentage of refusals ran up to 97 per
cent recently when only ten multilith operators out of
300 who were called accepted jobs.

Our Washington correspondent tells us that the Gen-
eral Accounting Office tried to hire 250 persons from
the accounting and auditing assistant exam held recently.
The register hasn't been set up yet, but 1,000 names of
those who passed were canvassed by the Civil Service
Commission. General Accounting Office offered these
people $1,440, promised to start them in as clerks and to
promote them to $1,620 and $1,800 in a few months. Less
than fifty accepted, which means a turndown of 95 per
When these people took the test, by the way, they
expected to be offered $1,800 at the start.

These aren't isolated instances, They will recur with
greater frequency as the defense effort rolls into high,
and as private industry snaps up those who would ord
narily prefer a career in the public service.

The answer is simple. It's salaries commensurate
with the times.

Let's be realistic about it,

Merit Men

CAN YOU IMAGINE anyone
wanting to live in the old Criminal
Courts Building?

Or anyone missing the place if he
had an opportunity to get out—and
being paid for it?

In fact, we can off-hand think of
several “‘celebrities’? who wish they
never heard of the place.

The Old Criminal Courts Build-
ing is one place in the world that
it doesn’t seem possible that any-
one would regret leaving—and for-
getting—forevermore.

But then, you don't know Charlie |

Quinlan,
He's Retiring

Charlie retires as resident cus-
todian of the building.

Don't let’s be mistaken, Charlie
says he thinks a change of scenery
will do him good.

Actually, his friends feel that
Charlie is going to miss the old
place and even Miami won't rub
out thoughts of “‘home''—even if it
is the Old Criminal Courts Build-
ing.

Mrs. Quinlan could raise a family
in a building seemingly isolated
from neighbors and despised by so
many

Charlie is 63 now, and 16 of his 37
years in the city service have been
spent as head man in the building
now to be demolished since modern
times call for the New Criminal

he feels hé is glad to retire. ‘They,
and all his friends hope Charlie is
right and that he will enjoy him-
self in his new surroundings.

The Quinlan children, Estelle,
now married and named after Mrs.

Quinlan, and Buddy, well-known in]

the bonding business, ‘grew up in
the building and used those old
marble halls as a playground,” ay
Charlie puts it,

Quinlan tells you how the kids
skated through judges’ chambers,
rode bikes through the halls, sang
carols at Christmas time that rany
through the old building and how,
at New Year's time, ‘the clan’
always gathered there to rattle the
walls of the building with bells,
horns and home-made noise-
makers,

Charlie recalls how many folks
always kept saying the old placo
would sink since it was built on
what was known as Collect Pond,

Says Charlie:

“Nonsense, I went to the base-
ment and made soundings for yenry
and there was never more than 10
inches of water.”

Just a Cozy Place

Maybe it was just a cozy place to
live after all.

But how many modern families
would think so?

But then again, Charlie and his
brood were not modern families as
we know them today. All Charlie
and Mrs. Quinlan ever wanted—
was a place to bring up their chil-
dren ‘in a good Christian man-
ner.”

Wasn't there a church nearby?

Wasn't there a school nearby?

Didn't the kids have the freedom
few others had? There was little
chance of being run over by an
automobile while skating in the
halls of the building. And then
couldn’t they bring in their friends
oceasionally—for a game that would
not endanger their lives because
of traffic?

Just because the kids sat in on
® few murder trials, according
to Quinlan, that didn’t hurt them.

Charlie will tell you that this win-
ter he and the Missus are going
to a place they bought in Miami
to take it easy.

But there is one thing we must
ay in closing and that i

Mrs, Quinlan, although not as
young as she was, is a trouper.
She would not go to Miami unless
she thought Charlie would be hap-
py. Then there is another thing.
Charlie wouldn't go to Miami un-
less he thought Mrs. Quinlan was
happy.

October 1, Charlie and the Missus
expect to get started for their new
home.

Suppose, instead of recalling
when and how he joined or en-
tered the city service we just say
“God Speed, Charlie, and the best
of luck.’

Short Men Out of Luck

ify according to the last requir
ments for motor vehi eNse @X-
aminer, I have four years of high
school and ten years of driving ex-
perience without a single accident,
but with the new requirements: I
will be too short and underweight.

I now say every short man who
is civil service minded had better
wake up and protest or else we will
be lost.

R. BLOOM.
Examiners of the Civil Service
Commission make up the require-
ments in terms of the job. Usu-
ally they have good reasons for
the height requirements. But let's
hear what other readers think—
both short and tall ones.—Editor,

Provisional Protests

Sirs: Would someone please come
to the aid of us provisional em-
ployees?

I gave up a fairly good job to ac-
cept the provisional job I now hold,
I took the interview with the hope
of gaining experience so that I
might at least be given a fair
chance to take the test for the job
when it would be held. Instead,
the Civil Service Commission de-
cided to use another list they
thought appropriate. This leaves
me, as it would any provisional,
out in the cold without a job, and
not even a fair chance to get the
job I had hoped for. Doesn't the
Commission haye any regard for a
man who is trying to make a ca-
reer of civil serv ? If the Com-
mission didn’t wish to hold a new
test, they could at least give the
incumbent provisionals a chance
to take a qualifying test, pince

there was no list in existence for
the job.

Kind of “‘stop-gap"? employee who:

Service Commission tends rather to
disregard the incumbent provision-

ly.—Editor,

What Lists for
Which Jobs?

Sirs: This is in answer to “'Orch-
ard Beacher."' He thinks that the
Civil Service Commission will be
“fair to and consider him and
others in his position for the new
parking lot attendant job that may
come up. In other words, he
thinks he's superior to me and to
fellows like me because he's
worked for the Parks Department
@s an attendant. It's not so! Be-
cause he's on a civil service list,
he thinks he deserves this job, If
this fellow will stop a moment and
think, he will see that my asking
for an open competitive test for
the job helps him too. He says
he's qualified for the new job.
Well, then, he shouldn't be afraid
to take such a test. My main idea
is that a test should be given for
each individual job.
D, E. JOHNSON.

‘Tests aren't held for each indi-
vidual job because the qualifica-
tions of persons on a list are fre-
quently such as to enable them to
fill positions other than those for
which they originally applied. ‘The
practice is common not only in
New York City, but in the State
8nd Federal civil service.—Editor,

Mechanical ys.
White Collar Workers?

Sirs: In his column dated Sep
tember 16, Charles Sullivan make:

the following statement: ‘The
drive for higher federal salaries,
particularly higher wages for the
great mass of white collar workers
in the large cities such as Wash

ington and New York, where the
living costs are the highest of any
place in the country,’

This statement leads the reader
to believe that the white collar
worker is getting less money than
the mechanical worker, As a mat-
ter of fact, the white collar worker
in the federal service is getting a
wage greater than the more valu-
able mechanic's, He also works
Jess hours for his higher wage.
Doesn't the mechanic deserve a
living wage? Why almost any
white collar worker can be replaced
by another white collar worker on
the job, with only a few weeks’
training, while it takes several
years to develop a well-trained me-
chanic. I might further state that
the white collar worker gets all the
conveniences in most federal places
of employment, while the mechanic
4s usually overlooked,

PRO BONO PUBLICO,

The way for both white collar
And mechanical workers to obtain
improved conditions is not to snipe
at each other, but to work together.
So far as salaries are concerned,
the editorial on this page is de
signed to provide a constructive
analysis of the present situa-

~ tion.—Editor,

A $1,000 DEFENSE BOND

master Albert Goldman. Left to right: Vice-president, Max R.

Schissel; secretary, Frank Handman;

Goldman; president, Wil-

liam Browne; treasurer, Max Klarreich; financial secretary,
Samuel Levitt

Plight of the Subs

The plight of subs on the clerk
list is amply illustrated by the
fact that the substitutes at the
top of the list have already been
doing their part-time, haphazard
work for 4 years. At the present
rate of appointment, it will be 5
or 6 years before they start get~
ting permanent appointments.
Similar conditions prevail among
carriers, motor vehicle men, and
laborers. The Feds are proposing
action for immediate appoint-
ments. They base their conten-
tion on two points: First, there
are a large number of subs work-
ing more than 8 hours a d
second, the postmaster has stated
that revenues in the current year
will be the highest in history,

Grievance Committee

On August 25, the Post Office
issued a long memorandum out-
lining a new grievance machinery
for postal workers. Last week, in
New York City, there was a con-
ference of the affiliated organiza-
tions of the New York Post Of-
fice. Question: How to make
pest use of the order of August
25. Question: How to adopt it
to conditions in New York. Ques-
tion: How to work out plan so
organization can act for individ-
ual or seek redress in collective
manner. Question: Will local ap-
peals boards be permitted to have
one union representative?

The conference is going to see
Postmaster Albert Goldman on
these matters.

The meeting set up a joint
grievance committee whose func-
tions are at this stage ‘‘an-
alytical.” Those participating are
the Feds, local 1; Carriers, local
36; motor vehicle employees, local

Can You Hold Outside Job?—Going From Civil
Service to Private Job— Draftees’ Future

Holding Down
An Outside Job

G. T. C.; I don’t think that the
Board of Transportation is cov-
ered under Mayor LaGuardia’s
decree that city employees may
not engage in outside business.
The reason for my opinion is
this: The Mayor has no direct
jurisdiction over the Board of
Transportation; st is not a city
department in the same sense as
the Sanitation Department is.
The Board operates independently
out of its own funds, However,
the Board usually adopts the
same policies and practices as
prevail for other city employees.
It would be wise, therefore, for
employees of the Transportation
Board to determine whether it
has adopted a policy similar to
the Mayor's with respect to out-
side jobs. I don’t recall that it
has. if an employee does get per-
mission to perform outside work,
that doesn’t affect his standing
on an eligible list for other ap-
pointments,

Resigning, Getting
Job Back

L. Z.: A New York City em-
ployee who resigns from his posi-
tion to accept appointment in the
federal or state service, has the
privilege of being reinstated in
the city service within one year
after his resignation, It is a privi-
lege that may be extended by the
department from which he re-
signed. In order for an employee
to be “transferred” upon rein-
statement to another department
from the one from which he re-
signed, it would be necessa for
him to be first reinstated in his
position in the department from
which he was separated. Of
course any employee who resigns
from his position, whether to en-
ter the state service or private
employment, has the same p!

leges.
Leave of Absence
D. Maternity leaves,

similar to any other sick leave or
leave for personal affairs, are

Sudden thought: What with an
increasing shortage in the amount
of available man-power, will the
ranks of the temporaty Christmas
postal employees be swelled by
the use of women? Anyway, do
your Christmas mailing early.
And speaking of Christmas mail-
ing, we are scanning the letters to

ing against the use of odd-size,

POLICE CALLS

By MIKE SULLIVAN

Muscle Men

Can you lift a 35-pound dumb:
bell with your right hand, a 30-
pound one with your left? Sure,
you can, . . . Now if you were
only an eligible on the Special list,
you'd get yourself a nice safe,
easy job as Court Attendant.
Other physical requirements
which eligibles on this list must
meet to get the Municipal Court
Jobs under the process of selec-
tive certification are: Eyes, 20-40
(glasses permitted); heart, lungs,
hearing, normal; no varicose
veins, no hernia, no paralysis; no
other disease, injury or abnormal-
ity which would tend to impair
usefulness, Oh, yes, we forgot
something else, Height require-
ments are 5 feet 6 inches... .
Paging Mr. Singer. . .

List One

While we're on the subject of
eligibles, we may as well note
that the regular list (P. D. No.
1) has been certified to the De-
partment of Welfare for special
patrolman jobs. There are 14 vac-
ancies at $1,500 per annum. Twer-
ty-six names, up to number 1301
on the list, were sent to Welfare.
You're welcome.

It’s a Busy Month

October will be an exceptionally
busy month for the cop who likes
his fun. The latest dinner and
dance scheduled is a testimonial
to SBA president, Freddy Meyer,
by his Spanish War buddies. Ser-
geant Hamilton Fish Camp, 46,
of the NY Department of the
United Spanish War Veterans,
will honor its new Junior Vice
Department Commander with an
affair at the Governor Clinton
Hotel, Seventh avenue and Thir-
ty-first street, Saturday, Oct. 11,
Tickets, priced at $1.75, can be
obtained in Ikoom 7, City Hall.
Get there early because the Span-
ish War vets will put on the feed-
“bag at 7 o'clock sharp. .

Real Estate Notes

Although we've visited many
houses in our time, last week we
ran across a house that appealed
to us so that we felt we juat had
to tell you about it, It is called
the Kensingion House, and {s lo-
cated at 200 West 20th Street.
Among its many features is an
Auditorium, seating 250 people
where Fall and Winter dancing
and whist parties are held. Its
roof-garden, the largest in New
York City, takes in one-third of
an acre, Among the ten outdoor
sports available at Kensington
House, ia an enclosed golf driving
range. Frankly, Kensington must
be what is meant by lying in
Heaven, It seems like a dream,
but a visit will prove it to be »

O'Dwyer Addresses

Supermen

District Attorney William F,
O'Dwyer of Brooklyn was the
guest speaker at the meeting of
the Sanitation Bligibles’ Associa-
iion Friday night. O'Dwyer spoke
to the boys as one who had been
faced with the same problems in
his youth. From personal expe-
rience, he knew the feeling of
waiting for an appointment on a
civil service list. As a former
patvolman he praised the merit
system of appointment through
civil service competition,
President Mandel thanked Dis-
trict Attorney O'Dwyer for not
mentioning polities even though
he was engaged in a mayoralty
campaign. Mandel stressed the
policy of the eligibles to keep out
of politics and be concerned sole-
ly with civil service. Before Mr,
O'Dwyer spoke the eligibles
unanimously approved the recent
resolution of the Civil Service
Commission to take men off the
list for one year who accepted
appropriate jobs.

Fireman Physical Test

One man in three failed the
medical and physical tes' for
Fireman, One in seven failed the
1940 test for Sanitation Man, and
one in six failed the 1939 Patrol-
man test. , . . Defective vision and
heart trouble caused most rejec-
tions in the medical. ... A Japa-
nese-American passed the physi-
cal test, . .. About a dozen pres-
ent cops took the physical... . A
new record for safety was estab-
lished since no serious injuries
resulted during the physical
stunts.

Last Saturday we visited Harry
Berkowitz at 62nd street and
Lexington avenue to see how well
his $1,000 to $100 wager offer
would stand up. After going
through the wide variety and as-
sortment of beautiful imported
and domestic materials, I can
safely say that Mr. Berkowitz's
chances of losing his wager are
practically negligible. His cloths
are really of top quality and
latest style and in our opinion, it
seems quite impossible to beat his
prices on his quality clothes. Mr.
Berkowitz informed us, and our
eyes proved his information, that,
contrary to public opinion, im-
ported cloths are flowing into this
country more readily than ever
before. Ships coming over to pick
up war supplies are laden with
goods and the only difference in
price is a slight increase in in-
surance,

Dr. Albert Polen, Optometrist,
who has heen serving civil ser-
vice employees for over 30 years,
ix now at his new offices at 155
Third avenue (Bet. 15th, and 16th
streets.) As in the past, Dr. Polen
still offers his usual courtesy,
quality, style and dependability

to his former and future patrons

For excellent work and efficient
service in Hand Laundering and
French Dry Cleaning, we recom-
mend the Four Star Hand Laun-
dry at 404 East 10th street, which
incidently is offering a worth-

The Smith School of Welding
at 250 West Sith street, is Man-
hattan's only school _ teaching
welding exclusively. All instruc-
tion at Smith's are practical and
individual. This school, which
hag been in existence for the past
15 years, maintains an effective
free placement service.

The rigid Page-Anderson New
Automobile Law which comes into
effect January 1 next year, has
aroused considerable unrest and
apprehension on the part of auto-
mobile owners who do not carry
insurance, because, under this
new law, If they have an accl-
dent, they must attend a hearing
before the Motor Vehicle Dept.
and even if one Is not responsible
for the accident, he must still
show that he has insurance or be
deprived of the use of his car

1. The Mayor is not convinced
that the charges inst Guinier
will stand up, and is not too
happy about the case.

2. The Mayor has not communi-
cated with the Civil Service Com-
mission on the Guinier case in

3. The assumption, among those
in the know, is that silence on
the Mayor's part indicates he
will not interfere with the Com-
mission's decision, The a
tion is further that, unless fa
more damaging material is dug
up by Commissioner Herlands
than has come to light up to this

suMp-

point, that decision will favor
Guinier,

4. The Mayor's closest associ-
ates are putting all the pressure

6, The reaction in the city has
proved that the charges are ex-
tremely unpopular, Sentiment has
ranged from cynicism on the part
of newspapermen toward William
sntment in
onsidered dis-
crimination against a Negro.
Politically, the Harlem factor will
count for more and more as the
Mayorality campaign continues,

Particularly important, so far
as the Harlem angle is concerned,
is the activity of prominent
Negroes to back Guinier in an
organized manner. Eyen the re-
cent appointment of a Negro po-
lice officer, Licut, Samuel Battle,
to the Parole Commission hasn't
eradicated the feeling in Harlem
that Guinier would not have been
touched if it hadn't been for the
black-white question, Politicians
who know what goes on in the
125th street sector of town antici-
pate a cohesion of persons and

Iewart Guinier is an examiner
for the Municipal Civil Service
Commission, His record, up to
the time of his suspension on
July 14, was good, The first hint
a was scheduled for

the Ienife came when William B,
Herlands,’ Commissioner of In-

vestigation, called in newspaper-
men for a conference, informed
them that the young examiner
was consorting “openly with a
woman employee of the Welfare

tion would be brought to trial,

public and result in more infor-
mation being received by the po-
lice so that they may better cope
with the evlme problem, A and
K are true statements but they do
not answer the questions, © is
wrong because most people know

and refer to all ranks as "cops."

ANSWER TO QUESTION 8

D is correct because the ques-
tion states specifically “in their
capacity as patrolmen,” Rule 213
provides that “a member of the
Department shall not accept an
award or present for police ser-
vices without the consent of the
Police Commissioner, Neither the
question nor the rule prohibits
the receiving of gifts from any-
one in the capacity of a friend.
Howe’ both the facts and the
rule prohibit such gifts for police
services rendered in the capacity

of patrolmen, If police services
are not already rendered, it is
presumed that the gift is for ser-

vices to be rendered should the

oceasion arise.
ANSWER TO QUESTION 9
A is correct, Heat is absorbed
in the process of liquid evapora-
tion, B is wrong because dew is

caused by the cooling of the air,
(This may be noted particularly
in mountain or lake country.) C
is wrong because air does not
generally contain all the moisture
it can hold; therefore the
moisture will saturate the air
air when the temperature sutt-
denly drops, D is wrong because
moisture usually prevents heat.
QUESTION 10
‘The one of the following who is

Fistimate is (a) the Mayor; (b)
the president of the city council;
(c) the borough president of

Situation No. 4

License examiner Wilséh was
assigned to the investigation of a
motor vehicle accident which oc-
curred on July 1 avban,
road near Troy, first

He

questioned Jones, operator of one

of the cars involved, and was
given the following information:
That the accident happened at

10:20 p. m.; that Jones was driv-
ing straight ahead on the right
side of the road; that Smith, oper-
ator of the other car, was driving
at least 60 miles per hour; that
the left fender of Smith's car
struck the left rear fender of
Jones's car; that Jones did not
have his lights on as it was not
yet dark enough to require them;
that Smith had stopped to dis-

charge a passenger at a corner
100 feet from the place of col-
lision

Examiner Wilson next ques-
tioned Smith and was told that:

He (Smith) was dviving at 20
miles per hour in the same direc-
tion as Jones at the time of the
accident; that Jones! car was
without lights; that Jones made,
or attempted to make, a U turn
without signaling; that Smith's
car was a 1986, one month old,
Packard and Jones’ a 1923 Stude-
baker; that Smith had discharged
a passenger a half block from the
point of collision; that immediate-
ly after the accident Jones said
that bis lights were on but had
been put out by the collision; that
Smith was paying for his car on a
itme payment plan through a
“finance company."

Wilson then questioned an eye
witness who was acquainted with
neither of the operators. ‘This eye
witness confirmed Smith's state

ments as far as his knowledge
went,

formation to the effect that Smith |

dent,

126, The eye witness was appar
ently interested in helping Smith

127. Wilson secured information
indicating that Jones’ lights were
hot put out by the collision

28. Considering all information
given it is highly probable that
fones was struck while complet-
ing the Iast half of a U turn,

129. The weight of evidence in-
dicates that Jones told the truth

at the time of the acei-

when he said that the accident
occurred before it was entirely
dark,

130, The examiner made a rea-
sonable assumption when he

stated in his report that Jones?
car had four wheel brakes,

131. Considering all information
obtained it may be said that
Smith has a good case if he
chooses to bring suit to recover
damages,

132. There is no information ins
dicating that either car was cov
ered by any kind of insurney

133. It is likely that Jones’ car
was in better mechanical condi-
tion than Smith's,

134. It is probable that the
damage to Smith's car was mora
costly to repair than the damage
to Jones’ car.
