DPUI Aides Protest Working
In 100° Heat; Agency Says
Its Services Are Essential
Anger raged among employees
of the State Division of Placement
and Unemployment Insurance last
Wednesday and Thursday, as the
heat and the work conspired to
wilt and wear them down, while
they saw employees of other State
agencies let off early, some as
early as 2 p.m. in the afternoon,
Heat reached 96, 97, and in some
cases 100 degrees.
But the Division maintains that
its primary duty is to the public,
that claimants filled the offices on
those two hot days, and that it
would have been dereliction of
duty not to attend to the needs of
these citizens. -
Maintenance of essential sere
vices doesn’t permit us to clos
said Harry Smith, personnel di-
rector for the Division.
Some Allowed to Go

were allowed to go home, with the
time to be taken out of annual or
sick leave, Employees hold that in
one office a nurse was in attend-
|ance upon emplo: who kept
succombing all day long.
The DPUI maintains the same}
policy as it had last year. Other
offices of the Labor Department, of
which the DPUI is a part, closed
early on both sweltering days.
DPUI employees, adding up all the
circumstances, told the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Association that |
they were being discriminated |
against, with more stringent heat
leave restrictions applied against
them than against employees of
other State agencie

Mr. Smith, outlining the tasks of
the Division, says that checks had}
to be processed so that those en-!
titled to them would get them on
time; otherwise they would be a
day late. The employees counter
with the statement that the checks
are sent out by the Department of
Audit & Control, and that all
State jobs are important — but
you can't work people in the kind
of heat that prevailed on those
two days.
Meanwhile, the State Civil Ser-
vice Commission was hassling
around last week trying to work
out a “proper” heat leave policy.

The Commission, in a letter to

that present rules do not permit

“The Commission is aware of
the differences in working condi-
tions which exist in various build-
ings occupied by State depart-
ments, It recognizes that there are
offices where work cannot be car-
red on in extremely hot weather
without some discomfort, but
there are others where employees
are sufficiently comfortable to
carry on their regular duties. The
same situation exists in private|
industry, There are also depart-
ments and units which must main- |
tain a full working day due to|
the fact that their work is
scheduled in advance or because|
they are operating direct public!
serviee which must be continued
regardless of weather conditions.”
The Commission concludes that
departments should have discre-
tion to dismiss early such em-
Ployees as may request it—and
take it out of overtime or leave
allowance.

Ramspeck, President, U. 8. Civil
Service Commission. He suggested
that agency and employee produce
witnesses and conduct cross-ex-
amination at the original hearing.
No additional testimony would be
received on appeal, unless it was
newly discovered evidence. The
plan, says Mr. Ramspeck, would
save veterans the expense of hear-
ings in Washington, to which they
must often send witnesses, and go
themselves.

Some New
Employees
Get Bonus
NYC Budget Director Abraham
D. Beame announced last week the
following policy on bonus, as ap-
plied to new appointees
The new cost-of-living bonus
will be granted immediately to
the following groups:
Uniformed forces of Police, Fire,
Sanitation and Correction De-
partments.
Certain services in which there
are recruitment problems, includ-
ing engineering, medical, social,
nursing, probational and scientific.
All other new appointees will
eventually get the bonus “in two
jeces,” as Mr. Beame put it:
alf after the first year, the other
half after the second year, pay-
able on January 1 and July 1.
These are also the increment
dates. Thus many employees, af-
Yer the first year, will receive both
the increment and half the bonus,
and after the second year, the next
increment and the other half of
us.
Old Policy Liberalized
The City's previous policy was
also to distribute the bonus to new
employees on a deferred date, at
the end of the total increment
period. Thus the new policy rep-
resents a liberalization, because
City. Therefore the rule is the
represents a liberalization, because
the period during which the bonus
is deferred is shorter, an average
improvement of 62'% percent, in
it of time, since half the bonus
gained 75 percent sooner and
the other half 50 percent sooner,
Piecemeal Rates
The rates for those paid on a
per diem, per session, per hour or
r lecture basis will be governed
y the same formula.
Emplo: s covered by preyail-
ing rates, Mr. Beame explained,
will be paid on the basis of either
the Comptroller's determination
(the prevailing rates) or by the
terms of whatever agreement the | bet
employees have made with the
City. Therefore the rul is that the
bonus wil! not apply in prevailing
rate cases. There have been some
exceptions in the past,

Patronage or Merit
For the Post Office
le eyes of civil service throughout the nation are fixed
sharply on George M. Bragliani, aggressive Acting
Postmaster of New York, N. Y., who has approached his
position with a fresh and open mind.
He enters a field steeped in not-too-noble precedent
concerning the application of the merit system. He, too,
must have heard of personal and political favoritism,
and even nepotism, in postal promotions, not to mention
the actual sale of promotions as investigated by a Con-
@ressional committee.
No doubt he would like to introduce great improve-
ments. It is a real test of his fibre if he can stand up
against the strong opposition to fair employment prac-
tices that must converge upon him from all directions.
The recent action of the U. S. Senate in killing President
Truman's reorganization plan for the Post Office Depart-
ment indicates at how high a level of government there
is respect and even acclaim for sordid spoils methods in
appointments and promotions.
Requests from employee organizations that seniority
alone shall be the basis of selection of assignments are
now before Mr. Bragliani. The struggle to free the Post
Office Department from the form of patronage inflicted
on promotions will ever be his problem, as it is that of
other enterprising postmasters, until advancement on the
basis of merit becomes a reality. Mr. Bragliani can blaze
a trail or warm a chair, as he prefers. So far he has in-
dicated that he is courageous and enterprising. If he can
set even a small pattern of improvement in New York,
the nation will not let that advance pass unnoticed.
Making the Most of
Employee Suggestions
mployee suggestion programs have proved ‘0 profit-
E able to government as an employer that the rewards
should be increased, In New York State, cash awards
are made, and in NYC the same practice will be followed,
once the full Board is appointed. The Federal govern-
ment, however, grants salary increases, which the State
and the City could do, and promotes employees for valu-
able suggestions, with or without cash awards. In the
recent combined operation of Federal agencies in the
metropolitan district, eight men received such benefits,
besides a six-months training course.
The State and its communities should follow suit, at
least by granting additional eredits toward record and
seniority, in promotion tests, which could be done by
amendment of the rules. Improved services and efficiency,
as well as economy, have incomparably outstripped the
eost of the awards, so that cash awards, salary increases
and promotion credits should be made cumulative. The
employee who displays unusual ingenuity, is fertile in
ideas, ought to be pushed ahead as rapidly as possible,
so that the utmost use can be made of his talents.

ALBANY, June 30 Comp-
troller J, Raymond McGovern is
about to issue detailed regulations
under which employee members of
the State Employees Retirement
Bystem may utilize increased op-
portunity of borrowing from the
Bystem.
The law formerly provided that
borrowing was limited to what 10
reent of salary would pay off
y the time the borrower reaches
je 60, and in no case more than
percent of his annuity deposit,
‘Be 1951 the age was increased to
65, Governor Thomas E. Dewey
signed a bill this year which in-
creases the age to 70, the same as
the compulsory retirement age,
The effect of the new law is to
permit employees past 66 to bor-
row, and to give all a longer time
in. which to pay. But payments
may be made at as fast a rate, be-
yond 10 percent of salary, as the
borrower desires,
The object is not to encourage
borrowing, nor taking more time to
pay back, but to enable members
to meet financial emergencies,

RIGHTS

Classification and Pay Plan
How It Works
THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW
makes detailed provisions for the
classification and pay of State
employees. These provisions orig-
inated in the Feld-Hamilton law in
1937. Actual experience during the
past fifteen years has brought
greater understanding.
Higher accuracy in the classifi-
cation of State employees has re-
moved long standing grievances
and improved the morale. This has
been reflected in improved, work
and in the higher quality of em-
Ployees entering State service.
‘The Basic Principle
The State classification and
compensation plan is founded
upon the principle of “equal pay
for equal work, and regular in-
creases in pay in proper propor-
tion to increase of ability, in-
crease of ‘output and increase of
quality of work demonstrated in
service.”
“Division of Classification ‘and
Compensation” in the State De-
partment of Civil Service admini-
sters the plan. That Division is
headed by a Director empowered
to classify and reclassify positions
in the classified service of the
State; and to allocate and reallo-
cate to an appropriate salary grade
all competitive and non-competi-
tive positions in the State service,
except temporary, seasonal or
Part-time positions, and positions
the salaries of which are fixed by
law,
Job Duties
The Director also has the duty
to establish forms showing the
Utles, qualifications and duties of
positions in the State's classified
service, and “to assign uniform
titles to positions that are so sub-
stantially similar in the essential
character and scope of their duties
and responsibilities. and in the
qualification requirements thereof
that the same descriptive title
may be used to designate them;
that the same qualincations for
appointment may be reasonably
required; that the same tests of
fitness may be established, and
that the same rate of compensa-
tion may be reasonably applied.”
Positions in a promotional series
must be allocated on the following
basis: (1) “to successive sal
grades, the salaries of which shali
properly reflect the varying de-
grees of responsibilities, training
and duties required to be per-
formed;"” and (2) “The minimum
salary of the higher position shall
be equal to or greater than the
maximum salary of the next lower
Position.”
Entitled to Notice
Changes in pay take effect on
the first day of the State's fiscal
year (April Ist) after approval
thereof by the State Budget Di-
rector, or upon any earlier date
approved by the State Budget Di-
rector.
The Budget Director's Role
‘The requirement that the State
Budget Director approve personnel
classifications or allocations has
proved @ stumbling block to effec-
tive classification or allocation of
many groups of State employees.
The State Attorney General has
argued that the Budget Director
may give or withhold his approval
for any reason or for no reason
whatsoever. While the courts have
not approved this contention in
so many words, they “have said
that the power to approve includes
the power to disapprove, and that
arbitrary action must be clearly
shown before the courts will inter-
fere. It would seem that the Bud-
get Director's action should be
based upon sound personnel rea-
sons, and not upon fiscal reasons,
otherwise there is no use in hay-
ing @ personnel classification and
compensation procedure which is
subject to veto by the Budget Di-
rector.

FRIENDS of Lieutenant Governor Frank C. Moore, looking over
current developments, are feeling chipper over his chances at the Gov
ernorship, which they say are growing. In order to make a@ substantial run
for the top State post in 1954, Moore must have a chance at the position
ea f means that Dewey would have to resign. With the Eisenhower-
Dewey forces arrayed in bitterness against the Tajt forces at the GOP
convention, Dewey wil Moore's friends reason — leave his gubernatorial
post one way or another. If Eisenhower wins the nomination and eli
Dewey is slated to be important on the national scene, If Tajt wi
nomination, Dewey may leave before the resultant effects hurt his pres
tige with the State Legislature. For years he has been wanting to return to
private law practice anyway. In either case, Moore would become Governor,
aiving him the opportunity to build his political fences, especially in NYC,
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES who went out on strike in City of Niagara
Falls got full brunt of Condon-Wadlin law penalties: their pay can’t
be any higher than it was on May 6, 1952; they won't get a raise for
three years; they are on probation for five years, serving without
tenure and at pleasure of appointing officer.
Meats
THERE WILL BE no rush to fill the job left vacant by H. Eliot
Kaplan, who resigned as Deputy State Comptroller in charge of the
retirement system. Post may be left unfilled all summer. . . . Political
appointment appears out, with probability that competent retirement
expert will ultimately get it... .

Since your paper has publicized
the urgent need for the appli-
cants, perhaps someone can ex-
plain why the U. 8. Civil Service
Commission was unable to select
approximately 200 applicants from
the 800 who passed the supposedly
difficult test for U. S. Investiga~
tor—for which over 5,000 applied.
To begin with, the requirements
were high enough. Surely there
were sufficient qualified applicants
among the successful 800 to have
satisfied the demands of the Com-
mission, rigid though they may
have been.
r One is led, almost, to believe
that qualifications other than
merit and fitness were considered.

benefit would then become pro-
portionate, both for the pension
and the annuity, On the employer-
paid or pension side this would be
an upward prorating and a ma-
terial benefit to the employee.
Reason for Disappointment
Many about to retire are as-
tounded that their allowance is
| not nearly as large as expected,
not half pay, not nearly half pay.
This results mainly from too short
a period of member service and
the low salaries of the early years.
The employee's annuity savings
account is based on a percentage
of his pay, year for year, over all
the years of member service, while
the pension in practice is based
on the best five consecutive years
with the low salaries of the early
years thus excluded from reck-
oning. At retirement time it Is idle
to wish that one had purchased
additional annuity, which was per-
missible up to 50 per cent of nor-
mal contribution for the past
dozen years, or accepted a more
|liberal coverage plan. The liberal
}age-55 plan of the State System, |
| s00n-closed to present employees,
offered an opportunity to em-
at Full Pay
when nobody has any authority to
raise the allowance, except on a
relief basis, or as a minimum pen-
sion because the allowance is @
mere pittance.
Full Pay a Necessity
Especially does the State offer a
real opportunity in not requiring
any material contribution by the
employees for previous years of
service, though extending the pen- |
sion benefit itself over all those |
years.

Question, Please
I WOULD like to claim veteran
preference in an exam I am
taking. Can't I wait until just
before possible appointment, be-
fore submitting proof that I'm
entitled to such preference? L.W.C,
Answer: No. The proof must be
submitted before the eligible lst
is established. Candidate is allow-
ed not less than three months from
the last date for filing application
for the exam in which to estab-
Ush proof his eligibility for the
additional credit. At any time
after three months from the final
date for filing applications for
competitive exam for original ap-
pointment or promotion, the eli-
gible list resulting, from the exam
may be established, although a
veteran or disabled veteran has
applied for additional credit. If he
hasn't proved his claim up 2
the time the list is established, he
has failed to establish his eligi-
bility to receive additional credit.
Additional credit may not be
granted after the establishment of
an eligible list.
WHAT are the minimum heights
in the NYC patrolman and fire-
man exams? L.C,
Answer: Patrolman, 5 feet, &
inches; fireman 5 feet, 644 inches.
8;
1 AM an eligible in the NYC
cleaner (men) exam. Can you tell
me the history of the last exam,
by which I may judge my appoint-
ment prospects? W.R.C,
Answer: The list was established
in 1950 and was exhausted before
the exam was held in which you
are an eligible, The old list lasted
only half of its maximum possibie
legal life, This indicates that your
appointment prospects are ex-
cellent,
ARE the retirement provisions
for local policemen and firemen
under the State Employees Retire-
ment System based on minimum
age? If so, what age? C.T.
age but on length of service, Local
policemen and firemen may retire
after 25 years’ service. The retire-
ment allowance is usually half of
final average salary.
I AM WORRIED 2! my de-
ficiency account in the State Em~
ployees Retirement System. I don’t
think I can ever make it up. L.W,
Answer: There is nothing to
worry about. The terms “deficiency
account” and “arrears” are uns
fortunate choices. The situation
really amounts to an opportunity
to purchase supplementary an-
nuity benefits, super-imposed, in
fact, on additional annuity pur-
chase that may be made under
the law. When the employer in-
Greases the pension benefit, as has
been done for those who accepted
the liberalized age-55 retirement
plan, retirement at half pay would
not result after the basic service
period unless the annuity account
bought as much benefit as the
employer provides. That is another
way of saying that the employer
would be doing more for the em=
ployee than the employee is doing
for “Arrears” or “defi-
ciency” represent employee's op-
ape to make up ‘erence
y paying more money into his an-
nuity account during the basie
period, or remaining longer in
service. The opportunity to switch
to the libralized age-55 plan, in
the State Employees Retirement
who haven't done so already, pay
the small absolute additional cost
from bi-monthly salary, and make
up whatever difference exists be-
tween parity of annuity with pen~
ston as they can, and if they can’
should realize that the addit
pension benefit is theirs, neverthe-
less. The failure of the annuity
account to meet parity arises from
the small salaries of the carly
years, or from short service
or both, and not from any
of the employer or the System,

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER
NYC Job Unscrambling
An analysis of defects in the
NYC personnel system has been
made by the Citizens Budget
Commission, Because the CBC
criticisms and suggestions have
direct effect on the employees,
The LEADER prints the state-
ment below:
Good personnel management
Means getting the best available
employees and placing them in
Proper jobs; training them to do
their jobs as well as they can,
and advancing them to higher
jobs when they are ready to ac-
cept increased responsibility, es-
tablishing safe and attractive
working conditions, salaries and
other incentives to encourage
maximum effort; and providing
supervision and leadership to
channel their energies properly.
Underlying it all is the basic ne-
cessity for a sound job classifi-
cation system and adequate equi-
table pay.
Good personnel management
im New York City can be termed
almost non-existent, Neither the
Mayor, nor the heads of most
operating departments have per-
sonnel staffs because they do not
consider personnel administration
within their executive responsi-
bility. Whatever rudimentary ac-
tivities do exist in this field have
traditionally been assumed by the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion, an agency ill-financed, ill-
staffed, and subject to the dic-
tates of the Bureau of the Budget.
Glaring Deficiency
The most glaring deficiency lies
fm the lack of an adequate sys-
tem of job classification. The in-
equities arising therefrom, such
as violation of the “equal pay
equal work” doctrine, have been
further aggravated by consider-
able interdepartmental variations
in working conditions, such as
hours of work, vacations and
leaves, The recruiting, examining
and placement process is sketchy,
routinized, and inefficient. It does
not serve to provide the City with
the best personnel available and
does not assure that each em-
ployee is placed in the position
he is best fitted for, Organized
training activities in the interest
of higher employee production
and potential executive develop-
ment are largely unavailable.
Promotions, therefore, do not al-
ways signify assumption of high-
er duties, but tend to become at
best monetary rewards for a job
weil done in a lower paid position,
or, on occasion, merely recog-
nition for length of service. The
width of the banafide promo-
tional ladder is unduly narrow;
much talent is wasted by limiting
& good employee's progress to the
confines of the department he
happens to have entered. The
upward flow of communications
between employee and supervi-
sory levels is almost invariably
insufficient: ingenuity and
ventiveness on the part of the
employees are stifled and griev-
f@nces are allowed to accumulate
without redress, There is no def-
inite policy for how to deal with
the spokesmen of the various em-
ployees’ groups,
Could It Do a Better Job?
Tt is at least debatable whether
in- | B
the Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission could do @ better job if
it had more funds to hire a better
trained staff, and if the Bureau
of the Budget would cease arro-
gating to itself a personnel func-
tion which it is fll-fitted to per-
form. It is not debatable, however,
that even under the best condi-
tions the Commission cannot
make up for the basic evil: the
non-assumption of responsibility
for good personnel management
by the top executives of the City.
Wasteful Practices
A wasteful practice common to
almost every department is the
assignment of high-cost person-
nel to out-of-title work, usually
lower-skilled work. The cl:
tion survey recently completed re-
ported 15 per cent of the 86,000
positions studied were filled by
out-of-title assignments of higher
grade employees to lower grade
work. Lack of controls has re-
sulted in many unnecessary “de-
tails,” created solely to establish
sinecures for political favorites.
While extra attention has of late
been focused on this problem by
the administration, and some say-
ings are reflected in this
we estimate a potential saving of
at least $1,000,000 from the elim-
ination of out-of-title work, city-
wide. We are assuming that the

Inspectors
Department of — — Bu-
reau of Weights Measures.
About one-third of "the inspectors
in the Bureau of Weights and
Measures were provisional appoint-
ees. Their appointments reported-
ly were due to political influences
and they have traditionally re-
ceived choice assignments, and
have been relatively immune to
disciplinary action by bc at hence
visors, The reluctance of courts to
give credence to the testimony of
these provisional inspectors has
Jed to a doubling of inspection
costs where i with Civil
Service status have been assigned
to accompany the provisional in-
spectors on their rounds. The ex-
in the effectiveness of the various
squads and better eg
would lead to savings of about
$50,000.
Manning Studies. As apart
substitute for an intensive Econ-
omy Program which was formu-
lated but never developed by the
Mayor's Committee on Manage-
ment Survey, a series cf short
five departments were made by
consultant engineers.
Major Purpose
‘The major purpose of thase
studies was to determine specifi-
cally where opportunities for
manpower savings existed — not
through blanket percentage re-
ductions in the number of em-
but rather through “he
jloyees, the
elimination of over-staffing, work
—— working out of title,
and the like. The engineers were
asked also to report opportunities
for management improvements
which came to thelr attention in
the course of their manning re-
view. However, these were to be
suggestions for further study, not
definitive recommendations,

ALBANY, Jume 30 — Jesse B. McFarland, president
of The Civil Service Employees Association, advised all
civil servants contemplating changing to the 55-year re-
tirement plan, to do so immediately.
“Governor Dewey,” said President McFarland, “has
signed a bill extending the time of changing to this plan
to September 80, 1952. This is the second extension which
the employees of the State have succeeded in obtaining
through efforts of the Association. However, this may
well be the last extension.
“Those eligible to participate in this plan have had
ample time in the past few years to make the change. It
is not reasonable to expect the Comptroller to keep open
this opportunity for conversion for an unlimited period.
Therefore, I strongly advise all those employees who wish
to convert to the 55-year plan to do so by September 30,
1952. If they don’t do it, they may be sorry.”

Civil Service Commission,
AS MUCH 4s civil service ad-
ministration differs im foreign
countries with that in our own,
there is a strong similarity of the
Problems. For instance, there was
and is a common necessity for
hiring provisionals—persons hired
without competitive examination
—because of the shortage of re-
cruitment supply. Also, there is
the same determination to avoid
Permanent hiring when emergen-
cies make recruiting difficult.
Holding a civil service job is
considered an honor in England,
Scotland, Norway, Sweden and
Denmark countries that I
visited.
Early Entrance Ages
The British Civil Service Com-
mission has headquarters in Lon-
don, with departments in Scotland
and Wales, and recruits for the
Home Service and Foreign Service,
There are 700,000 public em-
ployees, of whom 250,000 are in
the postal service, 3,000 in the Ad-
ministrative Service, 40,000 to 50,-
000 in the Executive Service, 50,
000 in the Professional Service,
and many thousands in the Cleri-
cal Service.
The ages for recruitment are:
administrative, 23 and 24; execu-
tive, 18 and 19; technical and
oo not stated; clerical,
bf
That does not mean that at 18
you become an executive and at 23
an administrator. It does mean
that you enter the particular ser-

grow up in it, to fill the require-
ments of higher jobs.
In Britain the policy of hiring
specialists or experts does not
exist; the system is predicated on
recruiting employees of high intel-
Jectual and educational achieve-
ment, on the theory that, being
bright and educated, they can
measure up to the needs of what-
ever important tasks lie ahead.
Thus the British recruit for capa-
city to learn a job. The hiring of
persons not trained for their work
is widespread, but they are train-
ed on the job while they work,
And career civil service opportuni-
ties exist up to Permanent Secre-
taries of departments. In the U. 5.
most of the top posts are filled by
Presidential appointment.
Promotion Without Exam
Promotion is different in Bri-
tain, too. It depends much on the
judgment of the Establishment
Officer of the department. He
transfers employees to higher jobs
in his department. In the U. 5.
more initiative exists among em-
ployees to train themselves for
entrance into public service, and
Promotions are usually the result)
of competitive examinations.
While such examinations do not
prevail to any considerable extent
for Federal promotion in the U. S.,
on occasion job performance is
given a rating that is a promo-
tion factor and in-service train-
ing exists
In Britain the hieh fees charged |
for taking an exam have been|
slashed. For instance, the fee for
Administrative Class competitions
‘Was once $25, now is about $3. In
other classes the reduction has
been proportionate, to a minimum
of about 60 cents.
‘The civil service examiners are
school teachers of the particular
subjects in which they examine
candidates. The panels range from
primary schoo! teachers to uni
sity staffs.
The process of holding written
examinations is slow, Newsprint
shortages have required delays up
to six weeks or so before the offi-
cial advertisement of an examina-
tion could be published in the
newspapers. Printing examination
regulations sometimes takes as
much as 12 weeks. Difficulties in
obtaining examination locations is
another cause of delay. Between
the publication of the examination
announcement and the notifica-
tion of candidates of their results,
six months may elapse. If a writ-
ten test is to be followed by an
oral interview, » the san may. be}

Jonger. But in the U. S. about the
same pattern prevails, for exami-
nations of size.
Britain found it necessary in
1850, when the civil service was
organized, to find jobs for a large
number of “gentlemen's sons." To
accomplish this, the recruitment
was tied in with university pro-
grams, In the U. 5, we also have
college recruitment programs, in
competition with private industry
to get the best that the colleges
offer.
The maximum appointment age
in Britain is 60, although the
Treasury may approve appoint-
ment of an older person to any
civil service post.
Appointment Plan
If there are 200 vacancies to
be filled from any eligible list, the
appointments are made straight
down the list, among those will-
ing to accept. The first two or
three on a list may select the de-
partment in which they prefer to
| work, from among those depart-
ments having vacancies.
Retirement age is 65. There is
a strong movement to have it re-
duced to 60. An employee now
may retire at 50, but he doesn't
receive a pension until he reaches
the minimum retirement age.

Ewing has the bug. He has been
@ perennial candidate for Gover-
nor and for United States Senator.
At one time he almost became a
cabinet member, but his case is
almost as bad as that of Harold
Stassen. Nobody knew why he was
running except Stassen. Ewing
Just has not got political oomph,
His personality is dry, While he
and his close cohorts may think
of him as a mighty figure in the
country, he is relatively little
known and less well regarded in
political circles.
Ewing was originally introduced
to Franklin D. Roosevelt by Fer-
dinand Pecora, and used to be a
protege of Bronx Boss Ed Flynn,
but now there is a coolness be-
tween them. He used to be in right
with the Democratic National and
State Committees, but all that he
has left now is the O'Connell seg-
ment of the state organization,
which is on the outs with boss
Paul E. Fitzpatrick. He is a friend
of Vincent Impellitteri. While he
comes from a conservative law
firm, his views are liberal and
courageous, But the plain fact is
get anywhere,
After this is over he will prob-
ably retire from politics, The
question still remains: Why is that
literature about him being sent
from 821 Market Street, San-
Francisco? %
ESTES KEFAUVER has made a
smart tilt in his campaign. The
strange thing, however, is not
that he has done so well but that
he has not done better, Tom
Dewey at the age of 38 was a
powerful campaigner for the presi-
dency: By the time he was 48 he
had already run twice, His original
racket-busting was without benefit
of television and not nearly the
tremendous public success of
Kefauver’s show, even though

there are those who say Dewey
actually accomplished a great deal
more, Yet Dewey swept state after
state, was able to buck and take
in one political leader after an-
other. Kefauver has gotten a
number of wins, has shown him-
self a pleasant personality, re-
ceived more publicity than any
man ever before. But all this has
not done as much as might have
been expected. His appeal to the
People is great — but not so great
‘as to scare or capture the political
leaders. It must be remembered,
too, that Kefauver is a man of
much greater political experience
than Dewey was at the same stage.
‘Still don't count him out for the
vice presidential spot, which is
Probably what he really started
out for. In that spot he would
help any Presidential candidate
whom the Democratic leaders
might put Up.
Another surprise is the excellent
handling of Averell Harriman. His
candidacy started out almost as
@ laugh and suddenly he winds up
as a top contender. Credit for the
shrewd political relations job goes
to Paul Fitzpatrick, State Demo-
cratic Chief, his aid Vincent
Dailey, Sen. Herbert H. Lehman,
Franklin D, Roosevelt, Jr., Richard
Balch of Utica who ran for Lt,
Governor in the last state election
and Manhattan Borough President

on instituting a seniority-plan in
the New York, N. Y. post office,
so that those with the longest ser-

to job picks.
This is a top objective of the

same goal is being sought in other
post offices in New York and New
Jersey by other branches of these
unions.

The Second U. S. Civil Service
Region offers to Federal employees
in New York a new opportunity to
learn how their government man-
can help administ
tions more effectivs
The program was conducted on
an experimental basis during the
preceding year by a limited group
| of Federal agencies. It is now be-
ing extended.
Purpose of this program is to
help Federal agencies select those
employees who have exceptional
managerial talent and to develop
this talent so that they may
eventually assume more responsi-
ble administrative positions in the
government. Federal agencies have
been asked to nominate their out-
standing employees by July 28th.
Final selection of candidates will
be made through an intensive se-
lection process which will include
written tests and oral interviews,
About 65 candidates will be se-
lected to receive this training.
Only Federal employees serving
in grades GS-5 to 7 may be con-
sidered for this program. They
must have had two years of Fed-
eral service, or four years of col-
lege education or 4 combination of
both. An eligible rating in the
junior management assistant ex-
amination will meet this require-
ment.
Federal émployees interested in
this Program should see

formation,

Mr, Bragliani to improve condi-
tions and arc awaiting the out-
come of the more important ob-
Jectives before passing final judg-
ment.
Two of the incidental improve-
ments are a coffee break and the
piping in music at the General
Post Office. The coffee break isn’t
in operation yet, but a 10-minute
rest period. The music piping
would be at the employees’ ex-
pense. The installation charge
would amount to about $24,000, or
$5 an employee, and the operat-
ing cost about 25 cents a year per
person, The employees voted for
this plan.
If the experiments at the GPO
succeed, they will be extended to

|Pension Question
Is Answered
ON WHAT legal grounds can
a NYC employee who has less|
than the full annuity amount get
pro-rata benefit? E. J.
Since a NYC employee is en-
titled to select any five consecu-
tive years, he could pick a period
for instance, representing 10 per
cent less than his highest-pay
period, and accept the 1 per cent
lan on the reduced payment
asis, Hence Mr. Hurley held that,
since the~same result is obtained
by prorrating, there is no reason
not to practice prorating.
If an employee paid in 90 per-
cent of the amount required for
maximum benefit from his own
annuity account, the City would
pay 90 per cent of the difference
pera the former and the new

QUESTIONS ANSWERED
ON ANNUAL LEAVE
Q. I was called to active duty in
the Army from a temporary gov-
ernment job. I am about to be re-
leased and have been offered my
job back. If I go back, do I have
to w.it 90 days before I can take
any leave?
A. Yes, Since your job was only
temporary and you did not have
any restoration rights, your mili-
tary service was a break in service
for leave purposes. Of course, your
military service will count toward
years of service for leave purposes
—that is, if your military and
Federal service total less than 3
years, you will earn 13 days of an-
nual leave a year; if between 3
and 15 years, 20 days a year; and
if more than 15 years, 26 days a
year.
Q. I transferred from the postal
field service to the departmental
service in 1942, Since 1 could not
transfer leave, I left 48 days of
annual leave and 61 days of sick
leave on the books—leave that I
could have recredited if I ever re-
turned to the postal service with-
out a break in Government ser-
vice, Under the new leave act, this
leave has been recredited to me in
the departmental service, and I
now have 75 days of annual leave

and 109 days of sick leave. Am I
| likely to lose any of this leave on
December 31?
A. Under the present leave sys-
tem, there is no maximum set for
accumulation of sick leave, so you
will not lose your sick leave. On
annual leave, the maximum is 60
days, and you will lose any an-
nual leave to your credit in excess
of the maximum at the end of the
leave year, which fs December 20
and not December 31. Leave ts now
of the leave year will vary from
year to year, depending upon the

He pointed out that with large

it will grow increasingly difficult:

The standards
of muntelpal employment must, he
said, therefore be kept high.
EXEMPT
(Continued from pape 1)
be appointed as a result of com-;
petitive tests, We believe that the
needs of our present extensive and
complex government call for scru~
pulous adherence to this man-
te.
‘The latest official figures which
the Association has at hand show
that about seyenty per cent of em-
ployees of the State and approxi-
mately fifty per cent of the em-
ployees of civil divisions are se-
lected through competitive tests.
This leaves the people without
benefit of adequate tests for their
civil servants, and leaves many
Positions and thousands of civil
servants without the sound safe-
guards as to promotion and ten-
ure which make for high morale.
Experience Shows
Various factors have contribu-
ted to cause a large number of
positions to remain in or to
placed in exempt or non-com-
Petitive status rather than to be
included in the competitive class’
defined in Section 14 of the Civil
Service Law, The Association has
urged continuously since its for-
mation that there be serious at-
tention at all times to extending
the competitive class and the Civil
Service Commission has acted
wisely at various times to bring
this about. Within recent years,
the Association has asked the
Commission to review all positions
the State Employees Retirement
System:
Credit for military service is
granted without charge to war
veterans who were residents of
New York State when they began
service in the armed forces,
All World War I veterans are
given System credit for actual
military service rendered between
April 6, 1917 and July 2, 192%,
World War II veterans, who were
employed in the civil service be-
fore entering the armed forces
and who returned to civil service
within one year after discharge,
are given System credit for actual
military service rendered between
iy 1, 1940 and December 31,
‘The System gives the following
information on annulty saving ac-
marry | counts.
Money-Back Guarantee
Under State Pension Plan
‘The following was released by|
reason, all the money you paid in-
to the Retirement System, plus
interest, will be returned to you
at your request. If you wish, you
may leave accumulated savings in
the System and retain member-
ship up to five years after you
leave the job, Your money will
continue to earn its normal in-
terest.
Persons who became members
of the System before 1943 receive
four per cent interest on their re-
tirement contributions. However,
because the earning power of
modern-day System investments
is curtailed, the System is paying
three per cent interest on the con-
tributions of persons who became
members since 1943,

, outside of the competitive class
and to act to bring into that class
‘all positions for which competi-
tive examinations are practicable,
rch and experience have
| raised job classification and exam-
jination techniques to a point
where we may say with full assur
ance that there are very few posi-
tions indeed for which competi-
tive examinations are not wholly
practicable. We can say with equal
certainty that efficiency and eco-
nomy in government would be
served by such action.
It Isn't Perfect
The Association is mindful of
the criticism which arises each
time a position is covered into the
competitive class and the incum-
bent attains competitive status
with the rights and privileges
which go with such status and
without any qualifying examina-
be | Hon. It does not agree that this is
a perfect situation. It does believe
that inasmuch as the official De-
partment of State Government
has approved other than competi-
tive classification of any position,
that the incumbent accepted the
Position in good faith and is not
responsible for its jurisdictional
classification. The courts have
ruled that incumbents of non=
competitive and exempt positions —
may not be reclassified out of their
jobs. Under the present statute,
the only way, therefore, to get the |
positions that properly belong in |
the competitive class into that “4
class is to bring in the incumbents
with the positions. Since the posi=
tions, when they become vacant,
will thereafter be filled through
competitive tests the advantage of
bringing them Into the competitive
class to future improvement of
service is apparent and will pi
very substantial.
We believe that this heari
should be followed very promptly
by other hearings to deal with the
many positions which still remain
outside of the competitive class,
Cor n’s Discretion ‘
‘We urge very earnestly that a |
necessary and logical concomitant
of this action to extend the com-
Petitive class coverage is that the
discretion which rests with the
Commission to place positions in
the non-competitive and exempt
Classes be exercised in the future
only after public hearings of this
character. Not to so deal with fu-
ture exemptions can only result in
another accumulation of non-
competitive and exempt positions
with which the public could have
dealt as the questions arose if per=
mitted to discuss them
hearings such as this.
