WASHINGTON.—Washington
is filled with rumors that the ad-
ministration will move soon to
give federal employees a bonus
to help them meet increased liv-
ing cos

The rumors can’t be confirmed,
but neither are they denied.

In fact, administrators in sev-
eral different departments are
known to have told inquiring em-
ployees that an adjustment up-
ward of federal salaries was “in-
evitable.”

The drive for higher federal
avies was spurred in Washing-
ton by the 2 fact that the Dominion
just paid about
40,000 of its low- -paid employees
a cost-of-living bonus. Most of
Canada’s employees earning less
than $2,100 last week were paid
an $11.91 bonus.

Bonuses will be provided the low-
paid Canadian workers each month,
The amounts will vary, depending
on the ine ase in living e
Canada ha ccepted August, 1939,
as a normal price month. Cost of
living has ineveased 11.1 per cent
since that time and under the
Dominion’s sliding scale this in-
creased cost amounted to $11.91
which was paid to the employees
earning less than $2,100.

Living Cost Up
Price Administrator Leon Hen-
derson testified before a House
eommittee that the cost of living
had risen 17 per cent which would
seem to put government workers
in this country at a distinct dis-
advantage compared to their
Canadian colleagues
Drawback
Congress would have to approve
any bill and congressional
leaders are frank to say that no
action will be taken until the pro-
posed price control bill dis-
posed of. The bill is now stymied
in the House Banking and Cur-
reney Committee and its disposal
isn’t expected before December,
One Congressman who is ham-
mering the pay raise plan is Rep-
resentative John E, Sheridan,

“During the last war, Con-

were far from satisfactory.

Cost of Pay Rises Less Than Expected

form promotion plan, that was
to become effective on October
1, The burean will send the
estimation to the House Appro-
priations Committee and spokes-
men will try to prevail upon the
committee to make the in-grade
promotions under it retroactive
to October 1.

It's reliably reported that the
cost of the promotion plan will
be less than was expected. In
which event it will be much
easier to get the money out of

delays involved in making them,
It would work this way: Each
agency could make its promotions
without obtaining the OK of the
Civil Service Commission in ad.
vance, The Civil Service Com.
mission, in granting this privilege
to the agencies, would relinquish
none of its authority to super
vise these promotions. The Com.
mission would “‘post-audit” the
promotions when it could, in
view of the heavy burden of its
work, The idea is to streamline
and speedup promotions, to cut
away red tape, and to eliminate
the possibility that the agencies
will place upon the Commission
the blame for promotions which
are slow in coming through,
Two departments—Navy and
War—already are making promo-

How to Hire Lawyers—
Its Anybody’s Guess

A recruiting system for gov-
ernment lawyers has been tossed
into the air again. The House
Appropriations Committee did
the tossing when it refused to
appropriate $54,225 to adminis-
ter the Board of Legal Examin-
ers, a board ated by the Pre:
dent to examine and recruit
torneys for federal departments.

What happens now is anyone’s
gues Of course, the Adminis-
tration will attempt to get the
Senate to approve the money—
the House could then accept it
in a conference report—but the
chances of this being done are
slim indeed, Even supporters of
the board admit that.

out
re-

Apparently the only way

will the President to
cind his original order setting
up the Board of Legal Examiners
and issue another order which
would place the jobs of all attor-
neys under the present Civil Ser-
vice system. Another alternative
would be for the Civil Service
Commission to finance the board
board with some of its existing
funds.

The board was set up on recom-

be for

mendation of four members of
the Reed Committee on Civil Ser-
vice reform — Associate Supreme
Court Justices Stanley Reed,
Felix Frankfurter and Robert H.
Jackson and Mr. Gano Dunn, It
was widely heralded at the time
as the “Frankfurter plan.” Four
other members of the Reed Com-

mittee vigorously opposed the
Frankfurter plan and _ insisted
that be recruited and

selected under existing Civil Ser-
vice procedures. The two plans
were taken to F. D, R. and he
selected the Frankfurter plan.

The Frankfurter plan would
relax Civil Service rules regard-
ing the selection of attorneys.

provided, for example, that a
general counsel could select any
lawyer on the regi: of eli-

gibles instead of one of the first
three as provided under Civil
Service rules. The plan, speak-
ing plainly, put lawyers in a
selected class.

The point is that the committee
refused to go for the plan. It is re-
ported here that the committee
vote was unanimous against it.

True or not, it’s reported that
the plan was devised to get
Harvard lawyers jobs in the

Government and suspicious Con-
gressmen didn't want to take a
chance on it.

Equal Pay for
Equal Work

Extension of the Classification
Act (an act designed to provide
equal pay for equal work) to the
field service is underway by the
Civil Service Commission. Its ex-
tension was ordered in the Rams
peck Act, which will become e
fective on January 1, when an
estimated 175,000 additional fed-
eral employees will be brought
under Civil Service.

Kobert $, Hare
pointed chief of a
section in the Commis:

nel classification division,
will survey the field service, de-
termine the cost of extending the
act, and have all information on
hand for action when the Rams-
peck Act becomes effective.

The rate of pay for field em-
ployees would be the same as that

How the Ramspeck Act A ffects You

Tests Will Give Employees a Decent Break; No Written Test At All for Some Groups

WASHINGTON—As the time
grows near for the Ramspeck Act
to become effective—on January
i—the 180,000 employees who
will be affected are worried about
the written test they must take
in order to qualify for the jobs
they are holding.

Frankly, the employees aren't
so much worried over being given
a test—but the kind of an exam
has them baffled,

Employees who flunk the men-
tal tests must be separated from
the service within six months.
That's the law and nothing can
be done about it.

By and large, here’s good news:
The LEADER has learned that
there will be relatively few non-
competitive mental tests ... «
that what few tests will be given
will be of a practical nature. . .
that credit for experience in the
job will be given each affected
employee, amounting to roughly
25 per cent.

To Fill Out Experience Form

Employees who aren't given a
mental test will be asked merely
to fill out form 375 and give in
detail experience and education,
The Civil Service Commission
will accept these,

All employees, however, will
be given physical exams, but
The LEADER has learned that
these tests, too, won't be as
strict as physical tests now given
new employees. If your health
doesn’t impair your work on the
job or the health of others you'll
be passed, Or, at least, that's
the general theo

YOU'RE IN THE
PUBLIC SERVICE

A memorandum of wide interest
to all public employees has been
issued by Roy F. Hendrickson,
formerly director of personnel in
the Department of Agriculture,
The memo, intended as a short-
cut guide to proper relations be-
tween civil employee and public,
says, among other things:

“Tm a democracy there is no
place for the civil servant who
can not recognize what his real
boss looks like, boss is
not his superior or the chief of
his bureau, His real boss is the
American people, This boss may
not always be impressive in ap-
pearance, Since he is generally
a mah who works with his hands
~a plain American citizen—his
clothes may be soiled, his finger
nails dirty, and his hair un-
combed, He is eager to be on
with his work and the impatient
way he squirms in his chair may
make you nervous, He's your
boss, this man, and he may be a
tougher one than the man you
think you work for. He's sensl+
tive and at times appears to be
unreasonable, You may have a
good program, an efficient organi-
zation, a good line of talk and
some readable publications, but if
you or your supervisor cannot
Serve his needs he may want to
fire you all out. He has work
to do,and he wants to be on ‘with
it,

Prejudices

“He may be prejudiced against
you from the start, He's heard a
lot of things about Government
employees and naturally he be-
lieves many of them, He has seen
abuses, Sometimes he thinks you
act self-important, put on airs,
and generally give evidence of
having forgotten that you are
merely a small instrument in this
Government of, by, and for ihe
peopte,

“Even the place where this man
is waiting has something to do
with the impressions he is form-
ing of you before you meet, Is
the room reasonably clean and
orderly? Is it dignified without
being pretentious?

“But the relationships with your

boss in the office are but a few
of the many that you have. What
‘telephone manner’ do you, your
supervisors, and your secretaries
have? A few impatient words
over a telephone may destroy
more trust and confidence than
you can build in a year,

“These small day-to-day evalua-
tions of your work for your boss
—the American people—will serve
to remind you of the attitude
which must-be reflected in your
bahavior. And in evaluating your
work, if you will think of the
plain citizen who comes to see
you, or whom you go to see, as

your employer, your attitude
toward him and his attitude
toward you will be more im-

proved than if you think of him
as an economic abstraction,
political difficulty, an annoying
problem or a plain pest, If you
prove to your citizen-boss that you
are friendly and willing to serve,
you will find his attitude toward
you changing, This is not su-
perficial courtesy or ‘glad-hand-
ing’; it is a reflection of a genuine
sense of obligation toward the
public, a feeling that this man is
paying you to help solve his prob-
lems, that his problems are your
problems."*

SSB Bureau to Seek

Space in Baltimore

Social Security Board's Bureau
of Old-Age and Survivors Insur-
ance will advertise for office space
in or near Baltimore, where it
plans to centralize activities now
divided between Washington and
Baltimore. Nearly 2,000 employees
would be moved out of Washing-
ton if the plan goes through, The
bureau has given up its hunt for
adequate office space in existing
Baltimore buildings. It’s now pro-
posing that a new building be con-
structed and furnished by private
capital to fit the bureau’s needs.
The bureau would then lease the
building,

The proposed building would
have 700,000 square feet to house
around 8,000 employees. The bu-
reau now has 6,500 employees—
4,500 in Baltimore and 2,000 here
—but it will be expanding,

Investigator Eligibles Protest
Grilling by Narcotics Head

A federal agency has no right
to inquire of a prospective em-
ployee whether he belongs to an
association of eligibles.

This

is the contention of the
1 Investigation Hligibles’
Association, who are indignant at
the kind of questioning membe!
have been getting from the Bu-
reau of Narcotics.

The eligibles hold that their
friendly relations with the United
States Civil Service Commission
have found no counterpart in the
suspicious approach of the Nar-
cotics Bureau District Supervi
in New York City,

Some of the Questions

‘The matter began when one of
the officials of the eligibles group
was interviewed regarding tempo-
rary appointment from the asi
ant investigator (pharmacy) list.
He states that he was asked,
among other things, ‘Are you a
member of the General Inyestiga-
tor Eligibles’ Association? .. ,
Are you an officer? .., What
dues do you pay? , , . Where do
you meet? ,. , How often? .. .
What is its basic object?” He
states that he was also asked
whether he advocates a plan to
combine all federal eligible groups
into a single organization,

Louis A. Sigaud, member of the
executive committee of the Eli-
gibles Association, states that
“There are many possible impli-

cations in official questioning of
eligibles about associations of eli-
gibles. ‘The main objection to such
stioning is that it provides an

ganizations by subtle intimidation

The case of Ewart Guinier is

State Assemblyman Tra JI, Holley,
acting for the investigat.rs, insti
tuted an action on August 1 in the

Supreme Court for an order direct-
of Welfare,
vice Commission, and the
Gomptcoller to include upon their
records a line for social investiga-
tors at $1,860 2 year for the period
commencing July 1, 1941, and ter=
minating June 30, 1942,

‘The various departments involved
have since agreed, as a result of
confere the social investi-
gators are entitled to receive their

annual increment of $120, which
would bring their salaries up to
$1,860, beginning with July 1, 1941,

They are thus established as re
maining still in the ungraded ser
and entitled to a further in-
erement of $120 on July 1, 1942
under the McCarthy increment law,
Should the resolution grading the
investigators be approved by the
State Commission, they will autos
matically be included in the grade
group, providing them with an+
nual increments up to the top of the
Jgrade. ‘They are to receive sup-
| plementary checks within the next
week for their back pay, and will
thereafter be carried at their in-
crement vate.

Bo up, but cops’ pay envelopes re+
main the same.”

A traffic cop at Traffic B says
he paid $22 for a pair of shoes In
World War No, 1—and he didn’t
like it. He figures, if present con+
ditions continue, he might be
paying the same prices all over
again, Therefore, he says, let's
get the raise now, so we can meet
the coming ‘jack-up’ in prices,

Patrolman William F, Harkins,
of the Harbor Squad, says:

“Should we cancel or redeem in-
surance policies just to meet the
high cost of existence? ‘That's the
only way it can be done so far
as many of us are concerned.
Sure, we don’t want to do it. Who
does? But if we are expected to
donate to everything we have
been donating to, the only way
open, it seems, is to cash in in-
surance policies to get the dough,
Meanwhile, pay into pension
funds and everything else asked
of cops.”

Another cop said he was “per
suaded’? by the FHA to buy a
home, Now, he says, he is worr:
ing about how to pay off. Too
many people, he says, think the
cops are overpaid, Yet they have
the same problems that appar-

ently confront us all—such as

“keeping the home paid for, ete.””
The “Kids” at Home

‘Another cop said he has two
“Kids” in his family just about
able to take care of themselves,

‘What happens?” he asks.

“One was accepted as eligible
for the army. ‘The other is await-
ing call, Both of them wére
working and helping pay their
way. Now that the cost of liv-
ing has gone up we find our two
sons called away and me with
the added expense of sending
them what we think they need
and meanwhile meeting the
butcher and the grocer with his
new prices. Why do we want a
raise? You guess.”

Mike J, Mahoney, ‘Traffic N,
says just about what the officer
quoted above thinks,

Cornelius F, Culkins, Bighth
Precinct, like so many others,
says uniforms and equipment are
costly to cops and yet this cost is
not expected of employees of pri-
yate employment. Why shouldn't
cops be given credit for the addi-
tional expense they have, he asks.

Another cop says the strenuous
duty by way of special assign-

ments, are only asked of cops, In
private industry, he says, special
duty calls for special pay.

Another traffic squad cop
Says the increased taxes ‘on top
of all others is unfair."” Cops, he
says, are subject to call, at all
times when private workers just
look out the window and expect
cops to “take care of the situa-
tion’ whatever it might be,

Dominick Carich, 32nd Precinet,
says who don't want a raise?

Meat Prices Up

Ashley Holmes, 20th Precinct,
points to the price of meats and
every other commodity used in
the usual household. He also
points out that the contributions
of cops to various drives are
definitely more than asked of the
“other fellow.” Holmes says that
nine of the 15 thousand cops
make loans from the various in«
stitutions in that business, He
points out that the cost of cloth
for uniforms ha’ gone up and
that perhaps the number of cops
making loans will go even higher
if something isn’t done... and
soon, , . He thinks every cop is
either a man that has made a
loan or has gone “co-maker'’ for
another cop,

11-Squad for Cops Gets a Chance

Bill Is Introduced in Council;

How would you feel if the boss
were to ask you to work y«
and-year-out without a rea
est-to-goodnoss day off?

The cops of New York City feel
that they know what you would
think. Because they don't get @
real day off!

Some time ago the cops began
a fight for A Real Day Off. The
Patrolmen’s Benevolent Assoc
tion was behind the issue,
LEADER took up the fight.

‘Today it looks like the cops
have a chance to win their battle,

Councilmen Joseph Kinsley and
Louis Cohen of the Bronx, have
introduced a bill to make law of
the 11-squad chart,

Now let's explain this,

Under present conditions, the
various precincts work under
what is known as the 10-squad

work from 12 midnight to 8 a,
another from 8 to 4 and the third
from 4 to 12 while the last, or
tenth squad, is off.

Under the L-squad system the

's then off until 8 a, m, Sunday.
t's his “32,"" But if he works
eight hours he is naturally off 16
anyway, every day. What happens
to the so-called day off?

Cops point out that painters,
pricklayers and almost everyone
else gets off about noon Saturday
and doesn’t have to return to work
until Monday morning, ‘That's
real day off. But if you get ‘3:
and have to take time out to sleep
so that you can get back on the
job prepared to “protect life and
property," it doesn’t seem to
add up,

Anyway, the ice is broken and it
seems like maybe the 11-squad
system might soon be a reality,

Maybe some citizen might think
the added cost of an increased
police force needed to inaugurate
the new em might cost too
much, Actually, leaders of the
program say it could be worked
out with only a slight increase in
the number of men, 'The improved
efficiency and morale of the men,

LEADER for Support

In a letter to Jerry Finkel-
stein, publisher of ‘The CIVIL.
SERVICH LEADER, Patrick
W. Harnedy, President of the
Patrolmen’s Benevolent Asso-
ciation, stated this week:

“The members of our or-
ganization are aware of the
support that you have given to
their efforts to have the eleven-
chart adopted for the
mbers of the Police Depart-

e recognized the
grok setter improving the
working conditions of police-
men and your wholehearted
support of this measure has
earned for you the gratitude of
not only our membership but
their families as well,

“On behalf of our entire
membership I want to express
their deep appreciation and to
extend to you their good wishes
for your future success.’?

right way to do it, of course,
would be to add to the force.
Anyway, here's the bill of

Messrs, Kinsley and Cohen:

A local law to amend the admin+
istrative code of the City of New
York, in relation to the division
into platoons, and squads of the
uniformed force of the police de-
partment,

Be it enacted by the Councu as
follows:

Section 1, Section 434a-25.0 of
the administrative code of the
City of New York is hereby
amended to read as follows:

Section 434a-25.0. Three platoon
system; squads; traffic squad not
affected by.—a. In accordance

26.

What It Means to Policemen

with the provisions of and sup-
plemental to chapter three hun-
dred sixty of the laws of nineteen
hundred eleven, as amended, the
commissioner shall divide’ the
patrolmen into three platoons and
eleven squads, Excopt in the event
of strikes, riots and conflagrations
or on the days on which elections
authorized by law shall be held.
1. Tours of duty shall commence
at midnight, eight o'clock ante

meridian and four o'clock post
meridian,
2 A squad of any member

thereof shall not be assigned to
more than one tour of duty; any
such tour of duty shall not exceed
eight consecutive hours of each
consecutive twenty-four hours for
six consecutive days and at least
forty-eight hours shall elapse be-
tween the termination of any such
six days tour of duty and the com-
mencement of a subsequent six
day tour of duty, In the event of
any such strike, riot, conflagra-
tion, day of election, ‘so many of
such hours as may be necessary,

b. The three platoon system
shall not apply to or govern the
hours or tours of duty of ser
geants or patrolmen of the City of
New York, who may from time to
time be detailed or assigned to
what is known and designated as
the traffic squad, provided, never+
theless, that the total number of
members of the police force or de-
partment of such city, so detailed
or assigned to such traffic squad,

all not any time exceed in the
aggregate one-third of the entire
police foree or department.

Section This local law shall
take effect immediately.
Referred to the Committee on

Civil Employees.

Tf the bill goes through it's
HURRAY for the cops! They
finally get a real honest-to-good-
ness day off.

Res, No, 244.

State Trooper Clerk Test Hi

List Appears

ALBANY.—Major John A, War-
ner, Superintendent of State Po-
lice, has just made public a list
of 261 eligible candidates for the
New York State Police,

This list will be in effect for
one year unless extended, All
candidates who are now or who
may later go into military service,
will retain their place on the list.
If they return to civilian life
while the list is still in effect,
they will be given an opportuitity
to complete their examinations
and become re-eligible for ap-
pointment at their original rating.

Meanwhile, where yacancies in
the ranks of the Troopers are
filled from the existing list, pro-
visional appointments will be
made in the place of candidates
who happen to be in the service.
When the original eligible returns
to civilian life, he will replace the
provisional, who will drop back to
his own rating. This is the under-
standing being made in every
case filled by a provisional ap-
pointee. Some appointments will
be made soon.

Here is the top of the list of
those who passed the examina-
tion conducted last December
when more than 4,000 candidates

The dust raised by the 65,000
men and women who took last
Satutday’s tests for junior and
assistant clerk, junior and assist-
ant stenographer, and junior and
assistant typist has just about
cleared. Only one large question
mark about the test itself re-
mains—whatever happened at
Morris High School?

Here’s the story, as much of it
as is known at this time:

By some fantastic fluke, 1,200
more candidates were told to re-
port to Morris High School, in the
Bronx, than the school can ac-
commodate. When the discrep-
ancy was discovered, these 1,200
were gathered in the assembly
hall and given their choice from
among three alternatives:

1. They could get their filing
fee back,

2, They could remain after the
afternoon candidates at Morris
were finished, and take the test
in the evening.

3, They could take the test
either at Evander Childs or Wash-
ington Irving.

No Proctors

Several hunared decided to take

the test elsewhere and hurried

by subway to their new school.

Board of Experts, After a thor-
ough examination of the tentative
answers prepared in last week's

Most of our readers who wrote

proctors in transit, but were met
by proctors at the entrances of
these schools. With very little
ado they were put to work on the
test.

Here is where the rub comes
in. For some of the delayed can-
didates were able to see the ques-
tion papers before they sat down
to the test, For example, these
are excerpts from two letters re-
ceived by The LEADER:

“As the surplus mob from Mor-
was approaching Evander un-
orted by any proctors, we met
candidates who had already taken
the exam coming out of the
school with their question book-
lets in their hands. Well, you
can imagine the rest for your-
self.'"

“Those students who were wait-
ing in the (Morris) building were
able to see the examination pa-
pers which those who had fin-
ished carried from the rooms w:th
them. In that way they were
able to prepare the answers long
before they actually took the
test.”

Commission officials as well as

questions in advance. They argue
that the candidates who may have
seen the questions in advance had
very little time in which to make
use of their advantage,

The Commission is trying to

but has made no headway. All

Civil Service in Great Britain

Recruitment, Promotions, Pensions Among Our British Cousins; Unions Are Accepted

By William J. Brown
General Secretary, Civil Service
Clerical Association of
Great Britain

At the beginning of any article
about the British Civil Service de-
signed for American readers, it is
necessary to define the term Civil
Service for its meaning in Britain
is different from what it is in the
United States.

In Britain, the phrase Civil
Servant is confined to persons
who serve the Central Govern-
ment on a certificate issued by
the Civil Service Commission.

Persons who serve village, town,
city and councils are not classi-
fied as “Civil Servants’ but as
“Local Government Servants.”’

In Britain there are something
like 80 or 90 different government
departments. They range from
the great Defense ministries—such
as the War Office, Air Ministry
and the Admiralty, employing
very large staffs, to quite small
departments, such as the Registry
of Friendly Societies or the Pub-
lic Trustees Office employing
comparatively small staffs,

But be the department large or
small, the structure of the staff-
ing arrangement in all depart-
ments follows the same broad
pattern,

Lowest Trades

At the bottom of the Civil Ser-
vice structure are what are
known as the Sub-Clerical Grades,
which are concerned with routine
and repetitive clerical operations.
They include such classes as typ-
ists, Shorthand Typists, Clerical
Assistants, Sorting Assistants and
80 on, These classes are restricted
to women,

Above the Sub-Clerical Grades
come the Clerical Classes. These
Classes discharge the better typo
of clerical work, and they are
open to both men and women.

Next in the hierarchy come the
Executive Grades, These grades
consist of men and women whose
functions it is to take charge of

branches of. departments,
blocks of business.

Highest Class

Finally at the top of the struc-
ture comes the Administrative
Class. This class is a small class
in peace time—number perhaps
some 1,300 people, men and
women, These 1,300 postg are the
“Key” posts of the Civil Service.
The men and women in this class
are the men and women who un-
der the general direction of Min-
isters, formulate departmental
policy, controlling the depart-
ments and advise the Ministers of
the Crown.

The foregoing classes are what
are known in the British Civil
Service as the “General Classes."’

Apart from these General
Classes are what are collectively
known as the Professional or
Technical Grades. These classes
comprise such types as doctors,
lawyers, chemists, _draftsmen,
architects, agronomists, factory
inspectors and a host of others.
Their conditions of recruitment
and their rates of pay are special-
ly set and they are somewhat out-
side the general set-up, to which,
in this article I must restrict my-
self,

Going back to the general
classes who constitute the great
bulk of the Civil Service (outside
the postal grades—such as post-
men, sorters, telephonists, teleg-
raphers, linesmen and so on). We
will now look at the source and
method of recruitment to the va-
rious grades,

How They're Recruited

Recruitment in the British Civil
Service is designed to secure a
stream of entry into the public
service, From each well defined
stage in the educational system of
the country, the method of re-
cruitment is by open competitive
examination, These examinations
are held at regular intervals
which vary as between one class
and another,

Now the four main stages of the
educational system in Britain are:

1, Elementary education,

2, Secondary education.

3, Advanced secondary
tion,

4. University education.

The Civil Service recruitment
system is designed to tap each of
these four sources of supply,

‘Thus elementary school children
find an entry into the Postal
Grades, Secondary school children
at the age of 15 to 17 have an en-
try into the Sub Clerical and Cler-
ical Grades. School children com-

or

educa-

finally the university men and
women find an entry into Admin-
istrative Grades.

Don't imagine from what I have
just said that a product of each
Btage of education, is restricted
formally to the avenues we have
mentioned, Theoretically anybody
is free to sit for an examination
if he is within the prescribed age
limits. But the character of the
examination is such as to fit in
with the educational standards of
each of the well defined stages of
the educational set up. The ele-
mentary school boy is free to sit
for the Clerical Class examina-
tion, but he won't have the edu-
cation to enable him to compete
successfully, ‘The secondary school
boy is free to sit for the Adminis-
trative Class examination, but
again, he won't have the neces-
sary educational equipment to
admit of success, So that the
Civil Service represents a ‘castt;’
system which is, so, to speak, a
microcosm of the general British
set up.

Although the main method cf
recruitment to each grade is the
open competitive examination
method, there is a measure of
promotion within the Civil Ser-
vice, from one grade to the grade
above. The size of this promotion
outlet varies as between different
classes. Thus there is a fairly
wide avenue of promotion from
Sub Clerical to Clerical Grades.
There is a smaller avenue from
the Clerical to the executive
grades and there is still a smaller
avenue from the Executive Class
to the Administrative Class.

Miracle

‘Thus the ‘caste’ character of the
general set up is not seriously dis-
turbed by those promotion outlets.
Theoretically there is nothing to
prevent a Clerical Officer rising
to the top of the Administrative
Class. But if every one of them
did so it would be regarded as a
major miracle,

All the grades which I have
mentioned are permanent and
pensionable. The pension system
is non-contributory—that is to say
that the government bears the
cost of the pension system. But it
takes the value of pensions into
account when fixing the scales of
pay of the different classes and £0
in effect, the Civil Ser
for his own pension. The nominal
age of retirement from the Civil
Service is 60 years of age, Volun-
tary retirement before this age is
reached, involves forfeiture of ac-
crued pension rights.

Politics or No Polities

EAR Mr. Mayor: Your Commissioner of Investi-
D gation, William B. Herlands, spent a great deal

of time investigating Abe Kasoff and his crew in
the Sanitation Depa That investigation ended
several months ago.

Where is the Herlands report, Mr. Mayor?

If that report is in your office, why is it being kept
secret?

Is it possible that there has been a leak—either from
your office or from the office of Commissioner Herlands
to those whom the report concerned? Is it true that
they are aware of the contents of the report before the
general public has had a chance to learn what it’s all
about?

The situation in the Sanitation Department is a mat-
ter of large public concern. It's not fair either to the
Sanitation men or to the general public to withhold any
information bearing on the case . . .

..« politics or no politics.

11-Squad Bill
In City Council

Te 11-squad bill for cops has finally been intro-

$2 a Year

- 5 Cents

tmeno.

duced into the City Council.

That bill makes for one of the great reforms

in the working conditions of New York City policemen.

It grants to the man on the beat a full day off each week

—which he doesn’t have now. It puts his working day

more in line with the decent working day of other
citizens.

The Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association points out
that the bill, if passed, would not only rectify a present
injustice, but would add to the morale of the men, and
in the end surely benefit the city.

The 11-squad bill, introduced by Councilmen Cohen
and Kinsley, stands a good chance of passage. It should
be out of committee and on the floor for debate this
week.

It's a good bill,

It should have the support of all civil service em-
ployees.

And the Mayor should sign it as soon as it gets
through the legislative hurdles of the Council.

The LEADER is happy to have had an important role
in pushing the bill forward to its present point.

We are pleased that Pat Harnedy, president of the
Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, says of us: “You
have seen the great need for improving the working con-
ditions of policemen and your wholehearted support of
this measure has earned for you the gratitude of not only
our membership but their families as well.”

Calling All
Candidates

E delighted to print elsewhere on this page a

W cone tion from Charles L. Ornstein, candi-

date for City Council from the Borough of Man-

hattan, giving his opinions on a major Civil Service is-

sue, We're delighted particularly because of one sen-

tence in this letter: “Probably no single group is more

affected by the actions of the Council than the Civil

Service employees, and I feel that it is the right of every

Civil Service employee to learn where his councilmanic
candidates stand.” .

We are 100 per cent in favor of Council candidates
telling where they stand, and inyite all other candidates
to tell us how they feel, We happen to agree with Mr.
Ornstein on the particular issue he raises in this letter.
But whether or not we agree with him on other points,
he will find our columns open to him at all times.

IF YOU HAVE LOST or been
robbed of anything from a hairpin
to a yacht, contact Maurice Sim-
mons, Police Department property
clerk. The chances that Simmons
will have a line on your property
fare much better than you might
think,

A look around Mr. Simmons’ of-
fice proves that folks forget to re-
member an amazing assortment of
articles, These items include dia-
mond rings,’ snakes, money, auto-
mobiles, musical instruments, nar-
cotics, tombstones, crutches, eye-
glasses, wooden legs, etc., etc.

Mr. Simmons’ job is to dispose
properly of lost, stolen, abandoned,
unclaimed, or recovered property of
all descriptions that comes into the
hands of the police.

Let's say Sophie Zilch loses an
item while out on a shopping jaunt.
If it is found by someone not need-
ing it more than Sophie, it is
turned over to the police. If the
article remains unclaimed for six
months, it is returned to the finder,
If the article is found by a cop,
it is figured it is just part of his
job, and the item goes along with
others to one of the periodical auc-
tions. However, proceeds of these
auctions go to the Police Pension
Fund. ‘

He's Got the Background

Since legal technicalities are in-
volved in the proper disposition of
articles in the custody of the prop-
erty clerk, Mr, Simmons, with his
legalistic background, is well pre-
pared.

The 63-year-old head of the prop-
erty bureau is a graduate of the
city public schools, C.C.N.Y. (B.S.
'97) N.Y.U. (LL.B, '99) and was
admitted to practice law here the
year of his graduation from N.Y.U,

At the age of about 16, Mr. Sim.
mons entered public service as a
local superintendent of lectures in
the Board of Education. Later he
became a school teacher. This lat-
ter work was interrupted for a
while through his service in the
army during the Spanish-American
War.

Shortly after his war service, Mr.
Simmons decided to practice law.
Meanwhile he was an instructor of
Political Science and History in
evening high school sessions.

In 1917 the late Mayor Hylan ap-
pointed jovial, courteous Mr, Sim-
mons a member of the Board of
Assessors, a post he held until 1925,
when he again resumed private
practice. He was appointed to his
present position by Mayor LaGuar-
dia in 1938,

Uses “Teddy's” Desk

An active civic leader, particulars
ly in slum clearance and rehabili-
tation of the lower Hast Side, Mr,
Simmons, in 1920, founded the
Jewish War Veterans of the United
States, and was its first com-
mander, He is a former National
Commander of the United Spanish
War Veterans—and in talking of
the Spanish War, Mr. Simmons is
reminded of that famous Rough
Rider —‘“Teddy” Roosevelt. Mr.
Simmons now uses the very desk
“Teddy” used as Police Commis-
sioner,

The property clerk is a member
of the American Bar Association,
Association of the Bar of New
York City, Society of Medical Juris-
prudence, American Association for
the Advancement of Science, and
former vice-president of the Hast
Side Chamber of Commerce.

Mr. Simmons lives with his fam-
ily at 2 Grace Court, Brooklyn,
His daughter, Ruth, 20, attends
Hunter College. A son, Robert, 21,
is in the art business.

The police property chief is au-
thor of legislation in behalf of des-
titute veterans, their widows and
dependents. Several of his ad-
dresses have been reprinted in the
Congressional Record. Speaking
for the United Spanish War vet-
erans in Congress, the Hon.
Leonidas C, Dyer, of Missouri, said
of Simmons:

“T have none but words of praise
to utter for all of his predecessors,
and I am honored by the friend-
ship of several of them, but let me
say that Comrade Maurice Sim-
mons, during his administration,
has accomplished more than all the
other commanders-in-chief of the
order put together,’’

Ornstein Proposes
Salary Adjustment

Sirs: As one of the Democratic
candidates for City Council from
the Borough of Manhattan, may I
take this opportunity of discussing
1 Civil Service problems in
essive weeks through your col-
umns. Probably no single group is
more affected by the actions of the
Council than the Civil Service em-
ployees, and I feel that it is the
right of every Civil Service em-
ployee to. learn where his council-
manic candidates stand,

Most important, I feel that the
of New York City’s em-

sal

ployees should be kept in line with
the rising costs of living. The
butcher and the grocer make no

special prices for Civil Service em-
ployees. The wives of the cops and
firemen and welfare workers must
pay as much for meat and butter
as do their neighbors whose hus-
bands work in private industry.
Yet while wages in private industry
are reaching new highs, the Civil
Service employee keeps drawing
the same salary check each pay-
roll period.

Already the cops and firemen of
New York City are fighting for pay
raises, I believe that all Civil
Service employees in the city
should join in this battle, and I
propose to support their just claims
should I be elected to the Council.

Similarly, I believe we should al-
ways approximate the prevailing
rate of pay set in private industry
for our own employres. Not only

is this the fair and just thing to
doy but it is good business sense
for the city. Should the city in-
sist on paying its employees a low-
er wage than that paid outside,
there is bound to be an exodus
from city service of many compe-
tent workmen who have developed
their skills in city work.

I am a firm believer in the Merit
System and will work to preserve
and protect it,

I shall appreciate the further use
of your yaluable columns for dis-
cussion of additional problems of
the Civil Service employees,

CHARLES L. ORNSTEIN.
Candidate for City Council,
Borough of Mankhttan.

Why Don’t U. S.
Appointments Come
Through?

Sirs: I was happy to read in
your October 7th issue that you are
“engaged in tracking down the
answer” to why people who claim
to be on Federal Civil Service lists
don’t get appointed even in fields
where there is a shortage of work-
ers, A Civil Service Commission of-
ficial believes the answer lies in the
“eonfusion"’ of the aspirants to gov-
ernment service. I should say per-
haps that it lies rather in the ‘“‘con-
fusion’’ of this particular official.

Perhaps my story will explain my
point of view: I am on the register
for junior professional assistant, ad-
ministrative technician option, My
rating was 83.15 on the list promul-

Service subject.
Letters which appear in these

ians complain that the weather has
a peculiar effect on the voice—
makes it crack after a few years...

Letters receive the care-

tention of this department
service,

gated in June, 1941, Recent edi-
tions of The LEADER mentioned
that this list is exhausted or nearly
so. Wondering why I had not been
certified, I wrote a letter of inquiry
to the Civil Service Commission, I
did not receive an answer to this
letter, However, several days later,
I received a notice from the Com-
mission informing me that my
name was to be stricken from the
register because I had “failed to
reply’’ to a certification to a posi-
tion in the War Department. Obvi-

y, Thad never received such @

My complaint to the New
York office of the Commission
proved fruitless, The only advice
was to ask for reinstatement on the
list, The fact that I may never
again be certified, even if the Com-
mission gets around to reading my
letter before the list expires next
year, does not seem to make any
difference, How can a government
which is working at break-neck
speed to build up its defense tol-
evate such inefficiency and ‘con-
fusion?"

I sincerely hope your search for
the truth behind the complaints of
£0 many readers will lead to some
amelioration of the situation where
thousands of people anxiously
awaiting government positions
never ‘receive them because of the
carelessness of others,

READER.

The LEADER has arranged for
several articles on this important
question. Watch forthcoming issues
for these stories, Meanwhile, wo
shall be happy to hear from others
who have specific complaints.

City Employee May
Join Political Club

A. E. M.: There is no prohibi-

the civil service law, against a
city employee other than a police-
man or fireman joining a politi-
cal club and paying dues therein,
Section 888 of the Charter pro-
vides: “No councilman or other
officer or employee of the city
shall, directly or indirectly, pay
or promise to pay any political as-
sessment, subscription, or contr
bution under the penalty of fo
feiting his office or employment.
Policemen and firemen are not
permitted to belong to a political
club or make political contribu-
tions. Employees of the Civil S
vice Commission may belong to a
political club, but may not hold
office in it or serve as a member

V. P.: You are correct in be-
lieving that a contestant in a fed-
eral examination who gets a rat-
ing of 65 or more but below the
passing mark of 70, and subse-

by H. Eliot Kaplan
Contributing Editor

quently earns a right to veteran
preference credit of 5 points
through service in the army or
navy, may apply this preference

credit to his original rating and
thus be given a passing mark and
a place on the eligible list, This
is only true, however, if the eli-
gible list resulting from the exam-

ination which he took is still in *

existence. If it has been termin-
ated his rights have lapsed,

Getting a Transfer

A Change Wanted: Whether or
not a civil service employee can
be transferred from one position
to another title depends on
whether the qualifications and
tests for the two positions were
similar. It is doubtful whether a
social investigator could be trans-
ferred to the position of play-
ground director, The fact that an
employee was on an open co
petitive eligible list for another
position would give him no advan-
tage in transferring from one to
another, The Civil Service Com-
mission is the agency which de-
termines whether or not a trans-
fer may be made, and both of the
departments concerned must be
willing for it to be made. Whether
the starting salary of a position
shall be fixed at the minimum or
above is up to the department and
the Budget Director. Ordinarily, a

with principles of management,

Piping Draftsmen

The worldwide struggle for oil,
together with an enormous in-
crease in construction of power
plants, refineries and the like,
have made more acute the need
for piping draftsmen. The Regis-
trar of Manhattan Technical In-
stitute, 1823 Broadway, New York,
reports many new enrollments for
the piping as well as other draft-
ing courses. Applicants come from
localities as widely apart as Buf-

How a State Employee
Can Be Fined or Fired

State officials are busily con-
dering ins and outs of the new
alpern discipline act that went
into effect October 1. Confer-
ences have already been held
among departmental representa-
tives and the State Civil Service
Commission.

Last week The LEADER pub-
lished a list of possible actions
of employees that may bring
about demotion in title and grade,
suspension without pay up to
two months, fine up to $50, or
removal. Below we list tentative
procedures to be followed in put-
tng the law into effect:

If an employee's performance is
deemed unsatisfactory to the ex-
tent that disciplinary action is an-
ticipated, what should the super-
visor do?

The performance of that em-
ployee should be carefully ob-
served. A record should be made
of each incident in which the em-
ployee fails to perform adequately
when such might be reasonably
expected,

Although not required by law,
the supervisor is advised to con-
fer with the employee and review
the specific incidents. The em-
ployee should be warned that ac-
tion is pending unless the situa-
tion improves. A memorandum
should be dictated covering this
conference, This procedure not
only gives the employee a final
opportunity, but also supplies sub-
stantiating evidence by including
a reference to the memorandum
in the charges,

If the supervisor then believes
that action is necessary, how
should the charges be prepared?

1, Each general point to be
proved should be stated in gen-
eral terms in a sentence contain-
ing the charge. (A list of pos-
sible charges appeared last week).

The charge or charges should
each be followed by brief and ac-
curate statements of fact (ie.

specifications) to back up the
general statements (i.e, charges).
‘The specifications should, so far
as possible, include dates, identi-
fication of the assignment under
discussion, names of supervisors
involved, dates of memoranda is-
sued to employee concerning the
incident if any, and statements of
warnings given to the employee.
2. The following principles must
be adhered to when preparing the
specifications:
a, The specifications should be
concise and devoid of unneces-
rary descriptive material but
should include all pertinent
facts, In so far as possible,
each specification should relate
to a single circumstance or situ-
ation, (The general statement
to be proved i# contained in the
charge),

Reviewing Incidents

b. All incidents upon which
adequate facts are available
should be listed, (Each incident
being described in the form of a
specification). This is very im-
portant, because if the employee
appeals to the Civil Service De-
partment, only those incidents
cited to back up the charges
may be presented by the operat-
ing department unless they defi-
nitely relate to the clarification
of a given specification.

c. A reasonable amount of the
evidence submitted must relate
to incidents occurring during
the preceding 12 months. Facts
prior to this period may be
cited, but may only be used to
supplement the more recent oc-
curances. This necessitates
prompt action on the part of
the department once it has de-
cided to take action upon a case,
a. Supervisors cannot decide
that an employee is unable to
perform duties which should
normally be performed by an
employee holding the title, then
assign to him work of lesser
difficulty than he can perform;
and finally attempt to demote or
remove the employee a year or

so later on the basis of such a

statement as:
“This employee cannot per-
form the duties of a Senior
Clerk, Because of his ineffi«
ciency, he has had to be as-
Signed less difficult duties
and is now performing work

of the Junior level."
In fact, such reassignment to
less difficult work should be

avoided if possible until removal
or demotion action is under way.
The only facts reievant to the di
ciplinary action are those relat-
ing to the incidents which led to
the change in assignment,

Other the only method of
handling such cases is to reassign
to the employee work of appro-
priate difficulty, allow him ample
opportunity to prove whether he
can perform the duties and to
then take action if the employee
is not able to perform satisface
torily.

Spirited Contest
Marks ASCSE Election
ALBANY—Election of represent-
atives to the executive commit-
tee of the Association of State
Civil Service Employees, now un-
derway, is marked by a spirited
contest in one of the 18 depart-
ments, each of which elects a
representative.

Members of the association in
the Labor Department, are en.
gaged in the contest between

John W. Henry, assistant secre=
tary of the department, incums
bent, and Joseph F, Reilly, in the
tax and wage records bureau of
the Unemployment Insurance Di-
vision. ‘The DPUI, It 1s reported,
feels that it has now become w
division sufficiently numerous to
warrant one of its own employee
seeking the role of executive com-
mittee representative, for the en-
tire department,

The election will be at the an-
nual meeting of the association
on October 21,

substantiated the story which a

that a “company union,” already
out of the blueprint stage, is
brewing for New York City em-

pose an employee organization
unaffiliated with either of the
large labor federations ov the in-
dependent unions now in exist-
ence,

Would Start Quiet!

The project, as at present out
lined, would start quietly in a
single department—a small one, in
order to avoid too much attention

the preparation of the new setup
refuse to talk for publication,

Mr, Albert Shaw, the principal
reports that government person-
nel men make periodic visits to
choose the graduates, even be-
fore they have finished their
courses. "The demands of private
industry are far greater than the
supply of well trained, person-
he insists, “Large com-
panits are continually requesting
persons who have had person-
alized training which helps them
meet the various problems that
come up in the ordinary office,"

They are particularly anxious to
avoid controversy—or even discus
sion—at this stage, ‘They fear
the possibilities at this stage, with
an election coming on—it was only
by accident that The LYADER
reporter stumbled upon" the ext
tenea of the project, which had
flowered for several months with

1, An official in one department
would call in a trusted aide, re-

him to act as temporary head
2, The alde would gather around

trust he felt he could depend upon
and the framework of an or
ization would be presented, al-
ready worked ott in advance,

3, The original group of ems

ATIONALLY

If you have been searching. for
some information on Air Raid
Precaution service and Warden
duties, wondering what changes
to expect should our country real-
ly become involved in a war, I
recommend the purchase of a
small Handbook For Civilian De~
fense, published by the Civilian
Advisory Services, Incorporated,
41 Park Row, New York City, It
isn’t difficult reading, but offers
an outline of what a national
wartime emergency basis would
mean,

It is well to know about extin-
guishing incendiary bombs, be-
cause the damage resulting from

fire bombs are not collectible
from insurance policies, unless
F ically stated,

ese bombs weigh as little as
two pounds each, and one plane

can carry almost 3,000, and in
three minutes distribute them
over 50. blocks,

This Handbook For Civilian De-
fense is priced at $1, and the pro-
ceeds, except operating expenses,
go toward defr esearch ex-
are of-
tions who wish to
use the hook as a text for defense
training. Your reporter firmly
believes {t is the duty of every
citizen to acquaint himself with
all the facts.

Celebrates 10th Year

A decade of catering to more
than a million people is being
celebrated this week by
Ziskin, managing director of Pa
amount Caterers, large caterers in
New York, and often referred
to as the DeMille of the trade,

Although Ziskin is happiest
when he is called upon to produce
affairs accommodating three to
five thousand people, or directing
as many as twenty dinners in the
same evening, he is still a stickler
for details and almost military
precision even when called upon

“THE MALTESE FALCON” at
the Strand Theatre—This is the
third time that Hollywood has
made the famous detective mys-
tery by Dashiell Hammett; the
search for the jewel encrusted
statue of the ‘Falcon, causes
more and better murders than
be found in any group of pictures
for the past several seasons,

Humphrey Bogart is tops, and
for a change is upholding law and
order as a hard boiled lady lov:
ing private detective. Mary Astor,
as the double crossing adventuress
and Pete Lorre, as a Hong Kong
adventurer, are their usual skill-
ful selves. Sydney Greenstreet,
recently from the Lunt-Fontaine
group, is very competent as the
arch villain, and should make a
demand for his future services,

The action throughout is in-
triguing, exciting and holds one's
attention. Congratulations to John
‘Huston (son of Walter) on his de-
but as a film director,

Well done. Don't miss it for an b..
evening's real enjoyment,

Situation No. 4

License Examiner Wilson was
assigned to the investigation of a
motor vehicle accident which oc-
curred on July 1, on a suburban
road near Troy, N. ¥. He first
questioned Jones, operator of one
of the cars involved, and was
given the following information:

That the accident happened at
10:30 p.m.; that Jones was driy-

. sat Re whevieats ORT Auto L License Examiner

ing straight ahead on the right
side of the road; that Smith, op-
erator of the other car, was driy-
ing at least 60 mile’ 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 driving 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 1936, 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 his lights were on but had
been put out by the collision; that
Smith was paying for his car on
a time 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

DPUI on Way Out?

U. S. Action Threatens Department

‘ze numbers of jobs in the
Division of Placement and Unem-
ployment Insurance may be abol-
ished as unnecessary should the
national social insurance system
being pushed by President Roo:
yelt actually go into effect. Latest
reports have it that the President
will soon call for a single system
as recommended by the Social
Security Board in a message to
Congress,

According to plans already dis-
cussed in the public press, one of
the most significant details will be
administration by a small number
of federal regional offices in place
of the present 51 State offices.
While the matter is still in the
talky-talky stage and officials
Won't be quoted, some predictions
can be made about the fate of the
4,000-employee DPUT.

First and most important, it is
likely that New York State will be
less affected by the proposed
change than small States, Since
a lar portion of the na-

employers and employees
ave located here, New York State
would undoubtedly make up one of
the al regional offices. How-
er in the west where the States
are small, groups of States will be
Joined in'a single regional offic

Work to Continue

The bulk of the DPUI's work—
that of the Placement Service and
the Insurance Division—will prob-
continue, though ft goes un-
federal supervision, ‘The neces-

y of this work will continue
through the years, and the num-
ber of employees needed to carry

on will not change whether admin
istration be federal or State,
Incidentally, should the end of

tracted employment, the unem-
ployment insurance work will be-
come more important and place-
ment work decline, This will mean

The Bureau of Research and
Statistics would probably be hurt
under a federal system, The fed-
eral Social Security Board today
employs a large research staff
busy in processing reports from
the State agencies. With unifica-
tion, such work will become un-
necessary and the federal research
staff would then be free to do the
work now carried out by State re-

statements as far as his knowl
edge went.

125. Wilson secured definite In-
formation to the effect that Smith
was alone at the time of the ac-
cident.

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

127, Wilson secured information
indicating that Jones’ lights were
not put out by the collision.

128, Considering all information
given it is highly probable that
Jones was struck while complet-
ing the last half of a U turn,

129, The weight of evidence in-
dicates that Jones told the truth
when he said that the accident
occurred before it was entirely
dark,

130, The examiner made a rea-
sonable assumption when he stat-
ed in his report that Jones’ car
had four-wheel brakes.

181, 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 in-
dicating that either car was cov-
ered by any kind of insurance.

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

134. It is probable that the dam-
age to Smith's car was more cost-

“ly to repair than the damage to

Jones’ car,
Answers and further questions
next week,

present regional office of the So-
cial Security Board has no re-
search staff today.

Administrative Officials

Hardest hit by the proposed fed-
eral plan would be administrative
officials whose supervisory work
will become relatively unneces-
sary. The bulk of the employees
—the clerks, stenos, and the like—
will still be needed, Whether the
present State employees will be
kept on, or whether fedéral em-
ployees will be recruited to take
their place, is a great big question
mark,

Further angles on this very im-
portant matter will be discussed in
forthcoming Issues of Tho

ments,
