For State Raise
Special to The LEADER
ALBANY, Dec. 29.—First in with
the news that his chapter has
started an organized letter-writing
drive to obtain a minimum salary
increase of 25 per cent was
Michael L, Porta, President of the
NYC Chapter of The Civil Serv-

Porta expressed thanks that the
Association officers and staff sup-
plied prompt and full information
and incentive for chapter letter-
writing and other campaigns
directed to the State Senators
and Assemblymen who will con-
vene in little more than & week.
From the State employee's view-
point, Mr, Porta pointed out, the
salary increase is the Number One
objective of the legislative pro-
gram.
He praised The LEADER for
its editorial support of the Asso-
ciation salary increase drive and
the assistance given through the
publication of the list of names,
districts and addresses of the
Legislators, which appeared in the
December 16 and 23 issues of The
LEADER.

U. 5. Employees to Fight
Assaults on Their Gains
Several Federal agencies re-
Pportedly are considering a return
to the 48-hour work week. There
has been no official confirmation
of such reports,
The other major issue about
which the employee groups are
rallying is sick leave benefits. They
are protesting against a recent
directive requiring employees to
bring a doctor’s certificate for all
absences. Previously a certificate
was required only for absence of
three or more days.
It is maintained that employees
are not receiving the full sick
leave benefits under the directive.
Employees were much disturbed
over remarks by some officials that
cumulative annual leave, sick leave
and holidays, if worked to the lim-
it, provides a total of nine weeks
, out of 52,

promulgated by the NYC Civil
Service Commission just four
weeks ago, and the first appoint-
ments were made December 16.
Police Commissioner Arthur W,
Wallander, in an address to the
first group of appointees, dis-
closed that Mayor O'Dwyer had
promised the Patrolman quota
would be increased by 2,000 in
the next fiscal year's budget. The
Commissioner requested this in-
crease several months ago when
the Board of Estimate was hold-
ing hearings on the current budg-
et. The present quota is 16,874,
There already have been 414
appointments from the list. Two
groups of 500 each are scheduled
to be appointed in February and
June, This total may reach 1,200
by next July. Several hundred
additional appointments will be
necessary during the next year to
fill vacancies resulting from pro-
motions, retirements, resignations
and deaths,
Should all appointments be
necessary, it is probable that the
new examination would follow
this schedule; Applications would
be accepted at the City Collec-
tor's offices in all five boroughs
the latter part of 1948 or early
the following year; a written test
would be conducted in March or
April followed by medical and
physical tests in the Spring or
More State, News, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, 9, 11.
Summer, The rigorous physical
test is conducted outdoors, so it
would be necessary to conduct it
during the warm weather period.
The Commission is expected to
complete the Fireman (F.D.) ex-
amination by December of next
year, thus leaving it free to begin
the new Patrolman test if it
should be necessary.
Starting salaries will be as
high as $48.46 a week.
Medical and physical require-
ments announced by the NYC
Civil Service Commission include
a minimum height of 5 feet 7%
inches, not less than 20/30 vision
in each eye without glasses, and
lists as causes for rejection all
diseases, injuries or abnormalities
which tend to impair the health
or usefulness.
The competitive physical test,
with a weight of 50 and @ pass
mark of 70 per cent, includes
three parts: Dumbbell lift, abdom~-

With Resolution for
Pay Equal to State’s
SUFFOLK—The first annual
meeting of the Suffolk Chapter
of The Civil ‘Service Employees
Association, was held at the
Riverhead High School. The
mecting was conducted by Charles
R. Culyer, Field Representatives
of the Association,
The elected slate of officers in-
cludes Frank J. Bianca, Family

The Constitution and By-laws
were adopied as recommended by
the steering committee. Election
of a Representative on the County
Execuive Committee, delegates to
represent the Chapter at State
Association meetings and local
unit representatives on the Exec-
utive Council will be held in the
near future, Twenty new mem-
berships were accepted and ap-
proximately 100 applications were
requested,
A Pace-setting Resolution
A resolution on County salaries
was adopted and voted for pre-
sentation to the Board of Super-
visors for consideration at the
regular Board meeting on Decem-
ber 29. The resolution calls for
equalization of all county salaries
and ranges by adoption of stand-
ards in the ate of New York.
‘The plan has been in satisfactory
operation in the Office of the
County Superintendent of High-
ways for years and provides for
alignment and automatic adjust-
ment of salaries and salary ranges
from time to time to conform
wih slary ranges and salaries for
similar titles or responsibilities in
the State of New York
Although salary scales for most
of the County positions were in
approximate alignment with net
base salary scales for similar
titles in the State as recently as
October 1946, the continued in-
crease in living costs and adjust-
ments made by the State Legisla-
ture have placed most of the exist-
ing county salaries out of line with
State scales and prevailing stand-
ards causing a serious threat to
departmental morale and effici-
ent administration. It was ac-~
knowledged that the tie-in with
Sate levels does not provide for
the full 66 per: cent increase in
living costs as State adjustments
have been limited to 30 per cent
for lower bracket salaries down to
14 per cent for higher salaries,
Also, annual increment credit was
not requested for service prior to
January 1. 1943.
Mr. Culyer stated Associa-
tion was much interested in the
adopted resolution, noting that
the requested tie-in with State
levels by Suffolk employees is in
line with the ultimate aim of the
State Association to procure
standard: jon of all civil serv-
ice salaries in the State, so that
equal salaries will be paid for
equal work and responsibilities.
He stated that, at present, sal-
aries in most of the counties are
considerably lower than State
levels for similar titles. The effec-
tuation of the plan in the County
Highway Department of Suffolk
County indicates that the Board
of Supervisors has long recognized
the fairness and soundness of its
application in Suffolk, and a uni-
form adoption for all County De-
partments is urged to effect both
equalization of salaries and some
immediate degree of relief for
the County employee against the
high cost of living.

The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation today called attention to
4 matter of immediate interest to
all employees of Westchester

L’ Affaire Bro
issoie Causes
A Rise in Temperatures
Special to The LEADER
OGDENSBURG, Dec. 29.—Tem-
pers are rising in this community
as @ result of the treatment being
accorded George Brossole, disabled
veteran employed by the city as a
Janitor,
Here is the story:
Shortly before Mr, Brossoie got
his job last spring, the Common
Council had put through a pay
increase for city employees. When
Mr, Brossoie came to work, he
learned that his salary check
failed to reflect the pay increase.
Brossoie didn't object at first, be-
cause he felt he was ineligible for
the inc*ease. He accepted the ar-
gument that the increase applied
to only those employees who had
been.on the Job prior to the date
when the increase went into effect.
It Wasn’t The Same
However, when he discovered
that others hired after the in-
crease was in effect had received
the additional remuneration, his
thinking changed.
4A local American Legion post
didn’t like what it called the dis-
crimination against Mr. Brossole.
‘The local group organized with-
in the Civil Service Employees As~
sociation began to take a hand in
jthe matter. John E. Holt-Harris
Jr, Assistant Counsel to the or-
ganization, wrote Homer Wallace,
Mayor of Ogdensburg, asking what
that gentleman planned to do
about it. To date there has been
no answer to Mr, Holt-Harris’s
letter.
The Association now plans to in-
stitute legal action under Article
78 of the Civil Practice Act to
compel payment, This part of the
law was designed to force public
officials to perform their duties.
The Forest Rangers had their
maximum salary increased to
$2,520 from $2,300. The Game
Protectors had their maximum
salary increased from $2,540 to
$2,640 per year. The Executive
Officers of the Aleoholic Beverage
Control Boards in the various
counties throughout the State
were increased in the two lowest
grades. The employees in the
smallest counties had their maxi-
mum salaries increased from
$2,200 to $2,400 and those in
slightly larger counties were in-
‘creased from @ $2,640 to a $2,760
maximum,
All imereases are retroactive to
April 1, 1947 in accordance with a
law passed at the last session of
the Legislature at the suggestion
of the Salary Board.
Dr. Newton J. T. Bigelow, Chair-
man of the Board, stated: “This
brings the total of positions re-
allocated upward to 194. Others
also recommended upward are
awaiting the approval of the
Director of the Budget. The total
number of employees affected
runs into many thousands.”

Drive Is On
For a Real
Pay Increase
(Continued from Page 1)
“Tt is very heartening to hear
from Governor Thomas E. Dewey
himself that we are to get a raise”
said Mr. Porta. “It is absolutely
essential to the well-being of
State employees, and indeed to
the people of the State whom hey
serve, that the workers be ade-
quately paid, and therefore all
possible impetus must be given
to the drive so that the increase
will be all that it should. I was
heartened to read the report in
The LEADER that, officials close
to the Governor gave assurances
that, even though the amount and
ratio of distribution of the raise
have not been decided, no pittance
increase will be given. We must
not let any of our driving force
be relaxed, however.”
Kenneth A, Valentine is chair-
man of the chapter's membership
committee.
Other chapters are expected to
inform headquarters of the As-
sociation soon of their organiza-
tion of letter-writing and_ tele-
gram-sending campaigns. Already
some chapters have even held
conferences with their local legis-
lators and received assurances of
serious attention to the pay needs
of State employees. Chapters in
some instances may prefer con-
ferences, specially where one
Senator and perhaps two Assem-
blymen represent the area.

YEAR ago I wrote: “1947 is a year of destiny. It
may be a year of promise and’ performance beyond
any recent year, or it may be just another year, or it may
be a year of unparalleled disaster. The result is up to
all of us.”’
1947 has turned out to be a year of unparalleled dis-
aster throughout the world. Hunger, cold, discord and
fear stalk major parts of the earth. There is no longer
the hope of one world but the realization of two worlds
in conflict,
In New York State economic life is in serious unbal-
ance, Large groups of the new rich bid up prices on
essentials as well as on luxuries of life and the new poor
include the white collar workers and the civil servants
struggling with their present 60 cent dollar. Prices have
developed a climb of jet-power proportions and no ade-
quate controls or remedies in sight. What: have been
considered as inherent rights and liberties of all men are

Problems of 1948
The problems which must be met if 1948 is in fact the
year of decision include the following:
We must produce to the limits of our capaci
We must waste nothing.
We must distribute our wealth fairly both at home
and to relieve disaster throughout the world.
We must pay our debts, beth personal and collective.
We must deal justly with all men,
We must put our economic house in order,
We must establish a balance between wages and prices,
between wage levels of different groups, and between
wages, prices and profits,
We must be good neighbors everywhere,
The choice before us is plain. The world is out-of-
joint. We were born to set it right. The problem is so
huge and so complex that we can do the job only by using
every fit instrument at our disposal, and the chief in-
strument available are our governments.
Public employees have a high duty and a high privilege
to make Government equal to the difficult tasks of today
and tomorrow. Only the people can make the great
decision, but the civil service army will carry out the
commands of the people. May the army prove worthy.

Prison Guards from the Institu-

was climaxed by a military chant,
in unison, with appropriate paro-
dies pointedly portraying the
plight of State employees as re-
gards the relation of salaries to
present living costs. Senator Wicks
is Chairman of the Senate Fin-
ance Committee.
Mrs. Wicks, wife of the Senator,
sang the national anthem to the
nephew, A turkey dinner, prepared
by C.ptain Lloyd Wilklow and his
staff, followed.
Toastmaster Joseph Carberry
introduced the public official:
Major T.J. Hanlon, Superintendent,
followed with a speech of welcome.
Attorney Leroy Lounsberry, of
Ellenville, traced the history of the
institution, contrasting earlier pe-
riods at Napanoch with the pres-
ent modern plant and progressive
program of inmate rehabilitation.
Mr. Lounsberry voiced the pride
felt by the community in having
the institution as a component.
The exceptionally high morale
among the employees was attri-
buted to the fine quality of leader-
ship and character brought to the
institution by Major Hanlon as
Superintendent,
District Attorney Louis Bruhn,
of Ulster County, spoke of the fa-
vorable impression he received of
the institution and its personnel.
Senator Wicks pointed out the
many improvements noted in the
insitution generally and the fine
spirit of cooperation and team-
work manifested by the employees
in particular. Recalling that Nap-
anoch had long been neglected in
the annual State Budget, in com-
parison to the other prisons in
the State, Senator Wicks declared
that its record warranted serious
consideration for the means of
further development and expan~
sion, Pledging his wholehearted
support to that end, he closed by
singling out Major Hanlon, on the
record and by personal knowledge,
as one of the foremost and ener-
getic leaders in the field of pro-
gressive penology today.
A very enjoyable program of in-
mate entertainment followed, Par-
\ticularly well received was a mixed

members of the Legislature spoke
and indicated their interest in the
problems of civil service em-
ployees. Senator Hatfield, who has
long represented the district as an
Assemblyman, praised The Civil
Service Employees Association as
an organization which always pre-
sented the employees’ problems
fairly and logically. Mr. Pomeroy
will enter the Legislature for the
first time. He stated that he wel-
comed advice about all matters
which would aid in improving pub-
lic service in the institutions and
elsewhere and that he would act
in the interest of all of the peo-
ple of the State in dealing with
all_problems,
William F. McDonough, Execu-
tive Representative of the Associa~
tion, outlined the legislative pro-
gram and praised the local chap-
ter for its initiative in bringing
their problems to the attention of
their representatives in the Legis-
lature in » friendly and construc-
tive way. Said Mr. McDonough:
“Civil Government is the big
enterprise in a free enterprise
world. New York State is un-
doubtedly among the most pro-
gressive in its attention to civil
government, The ‘Big Three’ in
State government are the Legis-
lature, the Governor and Lieuten~
ant Governor, and the officers and
employees of government, Each is
provided for in the State Constitu-
tion. The complete cooperation of
each is essential to the maximum
service of government to the
Vc Ete application of the merit
system outlined in Article 5 of the
Constitution is of vital importance
to the efficient and econontical
carrying out of the services of
government and to respect for the
civil service employee. Governor
‘Thomas E. Dewey some years ago,
in speaking of the civil service em-
Dloyees, credited them with the
greatest responsibility of any of
the top agencies in carrying on
governmental services. The civil
service employee has failed to tell
citizens generally or to remind
the executive and legislative lead-
ers from time to time of his ac-
complishments and of his con-
tributions to the community,”
Mr. McDonough cited the im-
mediate need for at least a 25 per
cent upward salary adjustment of
State salaries to meet living costs
and to attract and hold competent
workers, a true 40-hour week, a
public employees labor reiation law
and liberalization of the State Re-
tirement Law.

Broader Eligibility
Is Needed in Exams
expect candidates to show
independence of thought
and a sense of fairness and sometimes forget that Com-
missions themselves should evince such fine traits, as the
NYC Civil Service Commission is doing in loosening up
preliminary requirements so as to broaden the base of
competition. The narrowing tendency has been increasing
rapidly, Commissions, overburdened with the heavy tasks
of preparing examination notices, especially in the scien-
tific, professiunal and kindred fields, lean toward a uni-
form pattern. One Commission seizes upon the cliches of
another and thus examination notices are often governed
more by rote than by reason. y
The principal change effectuated by the NYC Com-
mission is the elimination of the college degree require-
ment for positions which can as well be filled by persons
who don’t have a degree. Commissions that seek means
of reducing their work load, by. narrowing the base of
recruitment through highly restrictive requirements, per-
form acts that degrade the merit system.
The examination itself should be the primary test of
the candidate. It is ridiculous when the field of candi-
dates is so greatly restricted that the mere passing of an
examination becames the title to appointment, because
the eligibles outnumber the prospective vacancies, instead
of only the best eligibles getting the jobs. The stiffness of
requirements does not improve the calibre of eligibles;
instead it substitutes training and experience for an op-
portunity to make a showing in an examination that the
training and experience did something worth while to the
candidate.
IVIL Service Commission
initiative, resourcefulne:
Still Room for Improvement
The surface has only been scratched by the NYC
Commission, however, as there are many ways in which
candidates are wrongfully barred from examinations, in-
cluding devices for assuring that a par' cular candidate,
in a small examination for a high position, will clinch
the appointment or promotion.
If “progressively responsible experience” is forever
required, what opportunity has anybody who works for
a small employer? If the progression is measured in terms
of the increasing number of employees whom the candi-
date supervises from year to year, what opportunity has
the most brilliant worker who is excluded because he
never had twenty persons under him, for he worked for
a concern that had only five employees?
The effect of rote is often the same as if there were
a conspiracy to narrow admissability to examinations so
sharply that the tests can searcely be called competitive.
They hecome discriminatory, The whole theory of the
merit system is based on absence of discrimination and
favoritism. It is as much a violation of that now sacred
principle to favor anonymous individuals through a restric-
tive policy, as it is to provide a gravy train for some
favored friend or political follower.
The best administration of civil service also requires
adequate advance notice of examinations. The NYC Com-
mission has long followed the practice of announcing
what examinations will be opened for receipt of applica-
tions during the following month, Now the State Civil
Service Commission is doing likewise. The Federal Goy-
ernment gives out occasionally from the central office in
Washington advance notice of national examinations. More
of such advance notice would be welcome, also sufficiently
long Federal filing periods, even if the candidacies pro-
duce an avalanche.
By being able to choose from the most one gets the
best.

Half-Pay Retirement
3 to 5 Years Sooner

By RALPH L, VAN NAME
Secretary, NYC Employees’ Retirement System
‘HE 19,000 members of the NYC Employees’ Retirement sy,

extent of relief afforded by the Knutson Tax Reduction Bi)) Intros

School teachers with a master’s degree and receiving the $5,3%9
top of the elementary salary scale, would be tax free for a pension
of half that figure if 65 and married at equal age, and, if sing)
would have a reduction in their present tax of over $185, H
Members of the Teachers’ and of the NYC Employees’ Rejije

at retirement to entitle them to exemptions for the first four years
of retirement during which they are receiving an equal amount of
pension, Total tax exemption will be possible for them not only {rom
age 65 but from age 61 on,
The tax on Policemen and Firemen retiring at $2,025 after »
years of service would be nominal as soon as either the pensioner q
his wife become 65, Lesser pensions would be without tax, fie

until that age is reached,
Because of:

(b) The additional $600 exemptions at 65, and;
(c) The reduction of 20 to 30 per cent in the present tax s

exemption. Thus, a married stenographer or clerk, regardless of age,
receiving $2,400, would have his tax reduced about $90 per year by
reason of the above three factors.
A Call to Employees to Back the Bill
‘Unless thousands of employees eligible for retirement en,
maining in service three to five years longer just to earn m
taxes, they should put everything they have behind the Knv
Bill, It is not enough to write your Congressmen. Letters shc
a be
amendments being considered and as to the chances of passase, and
a continued interest shown. The present Knutson Bill offers advan
tages to City employees almost as great as would a bill to reduce by
five years the length of service necessary for half-pay. If employes
want these advantages, they must make themselves heard in Wash
ington.
For every taxpayer, the bill is a boon; for aging employees and
pensioners, a bill to reduce the present $300 tax to zero, as does \his
pill in many cases, is unlikely to progress if this bill fails, A bill lew
attractive to Congressmen lacked only two votes of passage oyer V«i0
With the proper support from employees and pensioners, this bil! will
win the necessary 2/3 vote in each House over any veto,
pF, AS 4 State employee, you had
been occupying a temporary or
provisional position, you are en-
titled, upon permanent appoint-
ment during the period from
April 1, 1946 to April 1, 1948 to
the same or a similar position,
or to a position which on March
81, 1947 (under the old Feld-
Hamilton salary structure) was
in the same occupational service
and salary grade, to be paid the
salary which you would have re-
celved in your temporary or pro-
visional position on the date of
such permanent appointment.
While it was no problem to
decide which positions are the
same or in the same occupational
service and salary grade it was
not so simple to determine which
positions are similar, As to this
term, there was some conflict of
opinion, In an endeavor to re-
solve this conflict, the matter was
presented to the State Civil Serv-
ice Commission. The Commission
ruled that the word “similar” as
contained in chapter 494 of the
Laws of 1947 (which grants the
special salary privilege referred
to above) could equitably be con-
strued to mean a position which
is in a lower grade, carrying duties
which are encompassed in the
ppoints Deuel to Niagara Post

Hllustrative Case
The Civil Service Department
memorandum to all State appoint~
ing officers, containing this inter-
pretation, also sets forth the fol-
lowing case as illustrative of the
principle:
Mary Doe:
Received temporary appoint-
ment 1/1/45 as Senior Steno-
grapher Grade 3-2 ($1,600);
Received _ salary increment
4/1/46 as Senior Stenographer
Grade 3-2 ($1,700);
Received salary conversion and
inenement 4/1/41 as Senior
Stenographer Grade 6 ($2,280);
Received permanent appoint-
ment 5/1/47 as Stenographer
Grade 2, ($1,840). The $1,840
represents the base salary of
Grade 2 plus two increments
earned under Chapter 494, Laws
of 1947, as temporary Senior
Stenographer,
‘The memorandum also points
out that the Division of the Budg-
et will approve the necessary
monies to enable departments to
make whatever salary adjust-
ments are necessary and that ad-
justments may be made retro-
actively to include appoiniments
made from April 1, 1946.
The provisions of Chapter 494
of the Laws of 1947, by their own
terms, will not continue beyond
April 1, 1948, unless extended by
the Legislature for an an addi-
tional period of time, If the law

do not receive permanent Ai

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER
Civil Service Grass Roots
Grew in China in 2300 B.C.
The civil service merit system | local magistrates, while the fourth
has its antecedents in an exami-jclass aspired to be appointed to
nation system operated in China| higher posts. The minister df edu-
more than 4,000 years ago, ac-jcation instructed the people in
cording to research material gath-
ered by Henry L. Buckhardt, Ex-
ecutive Officer of the U. 8. Civil
Service Commission’s Examining
and Personnel Utilization Division.
China’s examination system,
Mr. Buckhardt reported, is the
product of many dynasties, dating
from the Yu era or the Shun
dynasty, about 2300 B.C., and
gradually modified and revised un-
til the practice of selecting or
appointing government officials by
examination has evolved into its
present form,
In the period prior to the Chou
dynasty (2300-1122 B.C.) the so-
led “election” system, a means
for the appointment of aspirants
to governmental posts, constituted
the principal selection activity.
During the Chou dynasty (1122-
the classics, in the arts, and in the
principles of personal conduct; the
local officials recommended the
accomplished and talented ones.
In this respect, the examination
and selection practice during the
| Chou dynasty depended more upon
personal conduct than upon scho-
lastic attainments,
During the Han dynasty (206
B.C.-22 A.D.) there existed three
jmethods by which officials could
be appointed through examina-
tion. These were: (a) talented
scholars were selected in the cap-
ital by “the government; (b)
learned men from all over the
country were selected; and (c)
students in the academies estab-
shed by the government were
selected. The second and third
methods were used by the pro-
256 B.C.) officials were graded|vincial governments. Later, up to
through examinations into four|the Eastern Han dynasty, the
classes. The first three classes| prestige of the learned men seem-
eligible for appointment as! ed to have over-shadowed the rest.

‘With the decline of the Eastern
Han dynasty, the learned men
were required to pass exam-
inations on literature and calli-
graphy. This shifting emphasis
ay Personal conduct and spot-
less character to objective tests of
Miterary accomplishments created
a new era for the succeeding ex-
amination systems.
China’s examination system
reached its pinnacle of develop-
ment during the Ming dynasty
(1386-1644 A.D.).
Dr. Sun Yat-sen, founder of the
Chinese republic, adopting the
traditional practices of China, and
at the same time drawing upon
practices prevalent in other na-
tions, brought into being the
“Quintuple Power” constitutional
system. Article 15 of the “Founda.
tion of National Reconstruction’
states that “all candidates and ap-
pointed officials, whether belong-
ing to the central or the local
government, shall be persons
found qualified in the examina-
tions held by the central govern-
ment or adjudged qualified by the
personnel registration organ of
the same government.”
The national government
founded the Examination Yuan
in 1920 as the highest organ of
the state in administering civil
service and personnel registration.
The article appeared in a recent
issue of “Personnel Administra-
tion.” It was prepared in co-
operaiton with Chao Ju-yen and
Sheng Chen-su, members of the
Examination Yuan's mission now
in the U. S, studying the American
civil service system.
FIVE TITLES RECLASSIFIED
The NYC Civil Service Com-
mission approved a proposal to
strike the titles of Cook, Regis-
tered Nurse and Helper from the
non-competitive class for the De-
partment of Purchase and to in-
clude the titles of Registered
Nurse and Helper (Camp La-
Guardia) in the non-competitive
class for the Department of Wel-
fare. The action was taken fol-
lowing a public hearing.

Of State Courses
In Job Training
Special to The LEADER,
ALBANY, Dec. 29. — Greater
Participation in graduate courses
offered in the joint college pro-
gram of the State for broadening
the value of State employees is
advocated by Lynton K. Caldwell,
Professor of Political Science,
Syracuse University, resident in
Albany, He reported on the pro-
gress of the courses in public ad-
ministration sponsored by the
Btate.
The Civil Service Department
had 26 enrollees, Taxation and
Finance, 11, Audit and Control 8,
Education 6, while five others had
between 5 and 2 and the remain-
ing four, one each. Students from
private industry took the Public
Administration course, too, Other
courses are planned and wider
departmental application. —
The faculties of N. Y. Univer-
sity and Syracuse University
offered the courses.
During the first week of classes
the sudden illness of Dr. Caldwell
necessitated temporary changes in
instructors in the courses offered
by Syracuse University. Ernest
Engelbert, Assistant Professor of
Political Science, Syracuse Uni-
versity temporarily replaced Dr.
Caldwell in the Administrative
Process course and Philip E. Ha-
gerty, Principal Salary Research
Consultant, Salary Standardiza-
tion Board, Civil Service Depart-
ment, assumed temporary charge
of the course in Public Personnel
Administration, After six weeks’
confinement Dr, Caldwell resumed
direction of both courses during
the first week of November.
Dr. Ray F. Harvey, Professor of
Government, N.Y. University, has
assisted Dr. William J, Ronan in
the teaching of the courses in the
Principles of Public Administra-
tion, and Milton Musicus, Acting
Assistant Director, Salary Stand-
ardization Board, Civil Service
Department, assisted Mr. Hagerty
in the Public Personnel Adminis-
tration course during Dr, Cald-
well’s absence.
Arrangements have been made
in several of the courses for re-
presentatives of the various de-
ents and agencies in the
tate government to discuss speci-
alized phases of public adminis-
tration with the students. Among
the guest lecturers participating
in the Public Personnel Adminis-
ration course during the first
semester were Thomas L. Brans-
ford, Director of Examinations,
Department of Civil Service, Wil-
am J. Murray, Assistant Admin-
istrative Director of Civil Service,
Miss Mary Goode Krone, Deputy
Commissioner of Taxation and
Pinance and Chairman of the
Personnel Council, and Harry
Smith, Director of Personnel, Divi-
sion of Placement and Unemploy-
ment Insurance.
“The most important material
resource of the graduate program
in Public Administration is an
adequate library,” says the re-
port. “Under the direction of Dr.
Charles F. Gosnell, the New York
State Public Library has cooper-
ated to make available its very
substantial resources to the Al
bany program, Approximately 500
volumes, including many docu-
ments and much __ periodical
material, have been set aside for
the exclusive use of the graduate
students, The library has remain-
ed open four extra hours on each
of three evenings per week, New
books and materials have been
ordered by the library to enlarge
the collateral readings available
to the classes.”
The report also praises Her-
mann F, Robinton, Dr. Gosneli’s
assistant, for also giving most
freely of his time and effort.

FEDERAL NEWS —
Removal Safeguards
Set Up inLoyalty Cases
Special to The LEADER
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29— The
US. Civil Service Commission has
issued regulations and procedures
for the establishment of Depart-
ment and Agency Loyalty Review
Boards and on conducting hear-
Anges,
‘The boards will be composed of
not less than three impartial per-
sons of the Department or agency
concerned. The Commission has
directed the boards’ members to
“avoid the attitude of the prosecu~
tor and always bear in mind and
make clear to all concerned that
the proceedings are in the nature
of an investigation and not of a
prosecution.”
Removal Safeguards
Seven specific items must be
listed in removal notices submit-
ted by the boards to employees
found to warrant dismissal. The
Commission ordered that the in-
formation include:
(1) The charges against him in
factual detail, setting forth with
particularity the facts and cireum-
relating to the charges so
s security considerations will
permit, in order to enable the em-
ployee to submit his answer, de-
fense or explanation,
@) His right to answer the
charges in writing, under oath
or affirmation, within a specified
reasonable period of time, not less
than ten (10) calendar days from
the date of the receipt by the em-
ployee of the notice.
(3) His right to have an ad-
ministrative hearing on the
charges before a Loyalty Board in
the Agency, upon his request.
(4) His right to appear before
such Board personally, to be rep-
resented by counsel or representa-
tive of his own choosing, and to
present evidence in his behalf.
(5) The work and pay status
in which he will be carried during
the period of the notice and until
the determination of the Agency
Loyalty Board,
(6) In case of veteran prefer-
ence eligibles.) The fact that the
proposed removal action will not
become effective in less than
thirty (30) calendar days from the
date of receipt by the employee
of the notice,
(7) The authority or authorities
(Executive Order and statute if
applicable) under which the notice
ig being sent.
The Commission has set up the
following procedure for conduct-
ing bogrd hearings:
E gs before the Boards shall
be conducted in an orderly man-
ner and {in @ serious, businesslil
atmosphere of dignity and decor-
um. The conduct of the Board
members shall be characterized by
fairness, impartiality and coop-
erativeness,
It is recommended that the
hearings begin with the reading
of the letter of charges and Inter-
rogatories, if any, The employee
shall thereupon be informed of
his right to participate in the
hearing, be represented by coun-
sel and present witnesses in his
behalf.
‘Admissibility of Evidence
Strict legal rules of evidence
shall not be applied at the hear-
ings, but reasonable bounds shall
be maintained as to competency,
relevancy and materiality.
Requirement of Oath or
Affirmation
Testimony shall be given under
oath or affirmation.
Presentation of Evidence
Both the Government and the
employee may introduce such evi-~
dence as the Board may deem
Proper in the particular case,
The Board shall take into con-
sideration the fact that the em-
ployee may have been handicapped
in his defense by the- non-dis-
closure to him of confidential in-
formation or by the lack of op-
portunity to cross-examine per-
sons constituting such sources of
information.
Attendance at Hearings
Hearings shall be private, At-
ten@ance shall be limited to rep-
resentatives of the Agency who
are directly connected with the
adjudication of the case, repre-
sentatives of the Loyalty Review
lesa and the incumbent or ex-
cepted employee concerned, his
counsel or representative, and the
witness who ts testifying.
Determination After Hearing
After the incumbent or except-
ed employee has been given a
hearing by the Board, the Board
shall promptly make its de-
termination.

NEW YORK CITY NEWS
Engineers
Asked to Join IAFF
Deputy Chief Henry A. Witte-
kind, President of the Uniformed
Fire Officers Association, has
written to Harold J. Johnston, of
the Uniformed Pilots and Marine
Engineers Association, NYFD, ask-
ing the Pilot and Engineer Group
to consider becoming affiliated
with the International Associa-
tion of Fire Fighters (AFL). The
UPOA and the Uniformed Fire-
men's Association are locals of
the IAFF,
Chief Wittekind recently ad-
dressed a meeting of the Pilots
and Engineers on the same sub-
ject. The letter:
“On several occasions I have
been asked the question, ‘What
are the objectives of the Inter-
national Association of Fire Fight-
ers?’ My answer to the question
is a direct quote from the con-
stitution of the above named as-
sociation,
“To organize all fire fighters; to
place the members of this Asso~
ciation on a higher plane of skill
and efficiency; to encourage the
formation of local unions; to en-
courage the establishment of sick
and death benefit funds; to en-
courage the establishment of
schools of instruction for impart-
ing knowledge of modern and
improved methods of fire fight-
ing and prevention; and the cul-
tivation of friendship and fellow-
ship among its membe
he profession of fire fighting
is recognized the world over and
the aims of the International
Association of Fire Fighters are
‘thy of the profession. In Unity
is strength, In the Fire
Service, unity of thought, purpose
and action are at all times a mos
necessary requisite for successful
operations, Unity is necessary in
quarters or at fires, Unity is nec-
essary in the interests of the
citizens of our fair city and of
the personnel of the fire depart-
ment.
“This unity among the mem-
bers of the fire department can
only be accomplished when all
ranks and grades are members of
one great organization. This
organization must, however, give
complete autonomy to the several
ranks and grades. The Inter-
national Association provides for
just that. The firemen have their
Jocal, the officers have theirs but
in our city, what becomes of the
Pilots and Engineers? We need
complete unily, we have the same
problems, the same interests, the
same goals and ambitions and in
addition the moral support so
necessary for successful undertak-
in,
“The Pilots and Engineers are

most necessary part of the fire
fighting forces, with whom, no
fireboat would be permitted to
leave its berth. Yet on the other
hand they are very small numeri-
cally when we consider that the
entire force consists of over 10,000
offic and men,
“In the course of labor rela-
tions, there are many times when
one or more representatives of
the various organizations wait on
the Legislature, This entails time
and expen: It is at these times
that a small group, unable to
spare the necessary expense, is not
represented. It is a nice feeling
to have when it is known that
they are at all time represented
by either one or both of their
brothers locals who do and can
spare the care to look after their
interests.

105 Lists Promulgated
The Commission promulgated
91 promotion lists and 14 open
+ competitive lists; it published 67
promotion lists and 32 open com-
pelitive lists. While former Com-
missions did not publish and
promulgate every list separately,
this Commission publishes a list
and before its promuigation en-
deavors to be reasonably certain
that no one on the list may lose

Operating Efficiency
The condition of the Commis-
sion as compared to its condition
on January 1, 1947 is best attest-
ed to by the number of examina-
tions conducted during the year
up to and inclusive of December
8, 1947, and the number of can-
didates involved. This was ac-
complished without a greatly in-
creased staff,

During this period the Commis-
ion handled approximately 2,400
claims for disabled yeteran pref-
erence, a figure which represents
twice as many claims as had been
handled in any previous year since
the time disabled veteran prefer-
ence first came into effect in
1930. Because of litigation, ap-
proximately 300 claims of so-
called zero percent disabled vet-
erans have had to be processed
several times.
Operating Costs
The operating costs for 1947
are as follows:

“In spite of the accomplish-
ments listed above, the Commis-
sion realizes that its biggest task
lies in 1948 when real progress in
the replacement of provisionals
will be evidenced,” the Commis-

White Lines at Hydrants
To Improve Safety
The Police Department will
mark a white line to designate the
no-parking distance at fire hy-
drants (minimum allowable dis-
tance, 15 feet from hydrant). This
will be done in areas where im-
mediate access to hydrants is most
important, including the theatre
district, the Washington Market
district, to ten blocks north;
Greenwich Street and West Broad-
way. Night trucking is so heavy in
the fruit, meat and vegetable area
that cars that would head east
through Chambers street have to
go all the way down to Cortlandt
or, Dey street. to cross Broadway
and head north again. Jam is from
8 p.m. to 8 a.m. and includes many
long trailer trucks.
Model Machine Shop
Nearly Ready for Opening
The machine shop is being
moved out of the Packard Building
to that architectural and efficien-
cy wonder in Long Island City,
the largest one-story repair shop
in the world, twice the area of the
city’s largest pier, and without
pillar or column, all arch support.
It is a streamlined center through
and through.
City to Save Money
On New Alarm Boxes
Fire alarm boxes are going to
cost NYC much less. Commissioner
Quayle has made a personal study
of the mechanisms and cost of
the boxes. He use to be a hard-
hitting salesman of things mech-
anical and and electrical, so was
able to come up with the solution
of eliminating the bell and its
mechanism in the future, saving
the city $90 on each box on that
alone, and finally will bring the
present $280 cost to around $150,
and thus earn the everlasting
gratitude of Mayor O'Dwyer, as a
couple of thousands boxes soon
will be needed. Reason: United
Nations residential development
on Union Turnpike; Queens growth
and replacement of wornout
boxes.
No good reason for the bells has
existed for a long time. They
simply inform the alarm sounder

that pulling the lever did put his

Medical Division Center
To Open on January 12
The tentative date for the open-
ing of the Medical Division, NYFD,
is Monday, January 12. The Divi-
sion occupies the upper floors of
Engine Company 30, at 278 Spring
Street. A garage for Ambulance
No. 3 has been completed on the
premises. This vehicle of mercy
was bought with Welfare Fund
money, as was its predecessors,
and as Ambulance No. 4 soon will
be. Cost will now run around
$12,000. Each member of the
uniformed force pays 25 cents
each pay day toward the Welfare
Fund, which is administered by a
Board, consisting of First Deputy
Commissioner James J, Moran,
chairman, Third Deputy Commis-
sioner Nat C, Horwitz, Secretary
Harvey Rosen, of the Department
and the President of each of the
line organizations.
Crack Made to O'Dwyer
About Quayle Boomerangs
Story has just been dug up of
how the Mayor's attention was
called to the 432 fire violations
that Commissioner Quayle has
against hotels. Some good friend
of Commissioner Quayle told the
Mayor that his Commissioner was
“lifting” hotel violations and the
Mayor wanted to know of the
Commissioner how come. But he
was told that none had been lifted
but that double check would be
made the next day. So at 8 a.m.
Deputy Commissioner Horwitz was
at Fire Headquarters, checking all
the violations, just in case some
trusted aide may have turned
sour, but of course none had. The
report that went to the Mayor
confirmed how all the fire viola-
tions had stuck, but that various
legal devices were being resorted
to by hotels to escape penalty or
remedy. One was to get classified
by another department as a mul-
tiple dwelling, on the ground that
transients are few, permanent
guests the bulk. It's a legal out,
but when, after a decade or two
