y Raise

Agreement Near

By CHARLES SULLIVAN
WASHINGTON, May 24—The
misgivings of Federal employees
that Congress was sleeping over
the salary increase bills disap-
peared when Senate and House
sub-committees met jointly in an
attempt to adjust differences of
opinion. It was not expected that
the first such meeting would pro-
duce final recommendations, be-
cause of the complexity of the
financial features, but progress
was reported.

Another indication that the US.
workers are heading for a raise
was a conference held between
Speaker Joseph W. Martin,

jtor Robert A. Taft. These two
ranking Republicans were believed
!to have discussed the party policy
concerning legislation for a raise.
The foregoing and other devel-
opments indicate that a raise is
scheduled to be legislated, but
that the amount has yet to be
settled, All plans cail for a some-
what higher raise for the postal
workers and a general raise for
the other Federal employees.
Present discussion revolves
around a $600 postal raise and a
$500 general raise, with increases
also for Cabinet members and
other Federal officials. What has
caused a hitch has been the pref-

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

ALBANY, May 24—The Build-
ing Fund Drive is an overwhelm-
ing, success:

Officers of the Civil Service Em-
ployees Association stated at the
Building Fund Ball on Saturday,
May 22 that all expectations had|
been more than met |

Activity is already under way to|
acquire a new building. “We're
acting promptly,” Dr, Frank L.
Tolman announced, “to put our
plans into effect. ‘We expect to
have our building in the near
future, and to have it altered and
equipped to fill our needs. New
equipment will include a safe, a
printing press and a folding
machine.”

Special Fund

A special fund is to be set up,
consisting of moneys accumulated
in the Building Fund Drive, for
acquisition and equipping of the
new building

Interest in the Building Pund
Drive hhas been as high, perhaps
as interest in any other single A
sociation ev
out the state set up working com
mittees to push the
successful conclusion

Building Long Needed es

Need of its own building has
long been felt by the Association,
The staff works in two crowded
rooms in the State capitol, jam-
med between filing cabinets, type-
writers, business machines, desks
and stacks of documents.’ Effici- |
ency under this arrangement has
been materially reduced; and
many Association activities take
place under difficult conditions.

Can Now Expand

In acquirjng its own building, | 4
the Association will be in a posi-
tion to expand in many directions,
‘The new building will provide suf- |
ficient space to conduct Associa-
tion business adequately. It will
have consultation rooms, small] >
meeting rooms, and possibly a
small auditorium, It will provide |?

ALBANY, May 24—They were
bright and on the ball, They all
had master’s degrees from the big
colleges, They had all been “nomi-
nated” by their colleges to take
jobs with the State of New York
—Jobs of a special kind. And they
were being interviewed by person-
nel men of 14 State departments.

Finally 20 were chosen. They'll
fill “resident internships” with
the State, earning $2,760 a year
for the privilege of learning how
Government works. They can be

cc on the job for only a year, how-
q| ever. After that, if they want to

remain in State service, they'll
have to take an exam like every-
body else (but there are some
special exams they can take, too).

gin fact, they're expected to take

an exam before the year is out.
This is part of thé plan known

2, | 8 Public Administration Intern-

ships, started in 1947. Its purpose
is two-fold: to offer an opportu-
nity for college students interested
in public administration to get ex-
perience with the New York State
Government; and to introduce in-
to the service a steady stream of
well-trained young people with a
talent for administration,
In Exempt Class
Last year, 23 of these intern-
ships, in 13 State agencies, were
filled from among 250 applicants.
The positions are in the exempt
class. And it is expected that the
“interns” will take competitive ex-
aminations during the year of

service for permanent junior ad-
ministrative and professional posi-~
tions,

This year, 30 internships will be
filled. The interns will obtain
training in the work of the depart-
ment which appoints them. Semi-
monthly seminars will be held in
Albeny, at which the interns will
go to class, with officials of the
State acting as teachers.

What It Takes

Here’s what it takes to be eligi-
ble for appointment as a Public
Administration Intern. You must.
be completing your residence work
toward a master’s degree in one of
these fields: public administra-
tion; business administration;
Political science; government; eco-
nomics. Then your college must
recommend you. You can’t apply
yourself. So if you have what Al-
bany wants, apply to the place~
ment office of your college.

The Civil Service Commission,
however, adds this significant
note, which you geniuses might be
interested in: “There may also be
opportunities for professional and
technical work in specialized fields
in some of the State departments
on a temporary basis pending the
holding of examinations. Persons
interested in obtaining such tem-
porary positions may write direct-
ly to the departments where such
work is performed.”

So even if you don’t qualify for
an internship, you might be able
to do almost as well on your own.

| developed as a result of his ever-

Robert Rankin

had pleurisy with effusion of the
left lung.

Background

Now back in 1937, Rankin’s
right lung had been collapsed by
pneumo-thorax treatment, and he
had continued working for the
Conservation Department while
taking the treatment. His left lung
had remained in good condition
until the pleurisy with effusion

exposure and ov-exertion on
that cold December day.

His physician reported that the
left lung had developed a tuber-
cular cavity, and that Robert Ran-
kin cannot resume his former
work. Since October 1946 his phy-
sician has not allowed him to do
any work at all. Bob is a very sick
man. Dr. J. Woods Price, selected
by the State Retirement System
as its examining physician, said:
“I believe that he should be re-
tired.” Physicians of the Work-
men’s Compensationu Board agree
that Rankin’s disability is the di-
rect result of the events which
transpired on December 11, 1943,

Is It an Accident?

The issue which the courts must |
decide is whether these events|
constitute an “accident.” The
State says No; John T. DeGraff,
counsel for Rankin, says Yes.

The plaintiff's attorney argues
that section 65 of the Civil Service
Law clearly entitles Rankin to ac-
cidental disability retirement al-
lowance, Since Rankin’s disability

STATE AND COUNTY NEWS

as 18 Below Zero—
t Was It an Accident?

is accepted under the Compensa~
tion Law, DeGraff points out, it
must also be accepted by the Re-
tirement System, because the de-
scription of the word “accident”
is narrower under the compensa-
tion law than it is under the re-
tirement provisions. And he cites
many legal precedents to uphold
this point of view.

His conclusion is that Rankin’s
disability is the natural and di-
rect result of the accident, and fits
exactly into the “legal construc-
tions” of the Workmen's Com-
pensation Law. And, he holds, the
same principles apply to the pro-
visions of the Retirement Law.

Deputy Attorney General Ed-
ward Ryan, who is arguing the
for the State, disagrees. He
s that under decisions of the
Court of Appeals, and in interpret-
ations of accident insurance poli-
cies, there must be a clear case
of an accident. “There's nothing
extraordinary,” Mr. Ryan says,
“about a temperature of 18 de-
grees below zero at Lake Placid
in December.” And he can't see
what happened to the car as an
“accident.” He also points to the
history of Rankin’s pneumo-tho-
rax to conclude that the tubercu-
losis of the left lung could have
been re-activated. As for the phy-
cians, it is his opinion that they
ent beyond their jurisdiction in
determining the nature of an “ac-
cident.”

The case was argued last week
in Albany Supreme Court, and a
decision is awaited.

“It is more important,” said
Judge Cashin, “to a community
to make people live together hap-
pily, peacefully and harmoniously
than to lay out parks and erect
buildings. No matter from what
book we gather the rules of our
religion, we will find that our God
is a God of loye—a God of peace
and a God of forbearance. No-
where is it stated that our God
wants us to be grossly intolerant,
unfair and hateful, hence the more
fervent we are in our religious be-
liefs, the kinder should we be to
others.”

WHERE WOMEN EXCEL

NE of the facts of human behavior that has always

interested me relates to the art of meeting and greet-
ing official visitors to any office or gathering.

Many of these visitors are strangers. Some carr,
obvious chips on their shoulde Many have to wait for
considerable periods for attention and a few are just spoil-
ing for a fight.

Behind the door in the private office the be any

y trying to get the most pressing work done. There
is paper work that cannot w: There are important ad-
ministrative matters that must be attended to, There is
correspondence that cries fo" an immediate answer,

However well the executive may organize his work,
|he is frequently in a jam, What can he do to perform
| the impossible ?

What Will He Do?

He is likely to do two thin He will employ a highly
efficient woman as his private secretary to organize his
correspondence and appointments, and he will look for a
gracious hostess of appealing charm to act as receptionist
to keep the seat warmers happy.
| In the public service, the situation and the remedy are
| much the same. I found the problem acute more than 40
years ago when I entered State service. It is still acute,
but the skilled and attractive receptionist is beginning to
adorn and to function efficiently in more and more outer
| offices. Unfortunately, she is still often a clerk with other
duties and with little time to give to the act of making
people feel at home. °

An English critic of American behavior has claimed
that this American tendency is vicious as commercializing
sex, I can’t see it that way myself. Charm and social com-
petence are gifts of God that might well be put to wider
and more practical use. They help to humanize the cold
formalities of business relationships. They tend to break
down the artificial barriers that are a survival from the
days when business was solely a man’s world.

TROOPER MORALE UP
‘AS JOB IS IMPROVED

ALBANY, May 24—The im-
proved pay and working condi-|
tions have produced a noticeable
improvement in the morale of
State Troopers. |

Superintendent John A. Gaff-
ney, at the direction of Governor
Thomas E. Dewey, issued orders
giving all troop personnel an|
additional night off each week,
effective February 1. This means
that Troopers now receive as leave,
in addition to four consecutive
days of 24 hours plus traveling
time at each end of the period,
two full nights per week. On his
night off the trooper customarily |
is free at 5 pm., returning to duty
at 10 a.m. the next morning.

‘Will Lead the Nation’

An extensive survey of equiva-
lent State Police and Constabu-
lary forees in other large Bastern
states was made last fall at the
direction of the Governor with the
result that if the Executive budget

New York will lead the nation in
payments to its State Troopers.
The New York Troopers, unlike
local police forces, recei sub-
stantial benefits in addition to
cash in lieu thereof. The bulk of
vision are given lodging, uniforms

and all other equipment, as well

for every day on duty, or $3.50 in
cash in lieu thereof. The bulk of
the force, which has an author-
ized strength of 900 men, are
away from the barracks, and re-
ceive the cash, which for approx~
imately 300 days per year, amounts
rto $1,050.

‘The old maximum Trooper sal-
ary was $2,100, plus prior emer-
gency compensation which is be-
ing made permanent this year.
Unlike other State employees, the
salaries of the State Police did
not reflect on a permanent basis
the previous emergency increases.
As the Legislature approved the
Governor's recommendations in
the 1948-49 budget for new addi-
tional emergency compensation,
Troopers now get $2,700, plus 15
per cent additional for a total of
$3,105. This means that a Troop-
er with his daily allowance for
food will receive approximately
$4,155 cash per year, in addition
to other benefits.

Governor Dewey first took office
in 1943, he increased the number
of annual increments for troopers
from five to six, since the bulk of
the personnel of the Division is
in this grade.

The entrance pay for rookies
is now increased from $900, plus
30 per cent emergency increment,
or $1,170, to $1,200, plus 15 per
cent, or $1,380, plus allowances.

Once in the force, a Trooper
will hereafter be eligible for six
annual increments of $250 each,
to a maximum of $2,700.

Under the new plan, corporals
now receive $2,600 pay, plus 15
per cent emergency compensation,
with two increments of $250 each,
establishing a maximum for the
rank of $3,000.

Members of the Bureau of Crim-
inal Investigation, who receive all
the other pay and benefits of the
Division, also have been receiving
$250 in lieu of civilian clothes.

SEEK GI BILL

Increased subsistence benefits to
World War Ii veterans with de-
pendents, taking on-the-job train-
ing under the GI bill are impor-
tant to public employees who are
trainees. The Veterans Adminis-
tration is considering including
them among the beneficiaries of
the law. A case in point is the
effort by Pesident John P. Crane,
of the Uniformed Firemen’s Asso-
ciation of NYC, to have probation-
ary Firemen get the differential,
as trainees. The same would apply

jto probationary Patrolmen and

trainee—public employees gener-
alyy—U.S, State and local—if the
plan succeeds.
New Pay Ceilings

‘The inereases were authorized
by Public Law 512, signed this
month by President ‘Truman. The
law raises pay ceilings, establishes
new criteria for computing income
for productive labor, and increases
subslstence allowances for part-
time school training and for com-
bination school and job training
programs,

The new law provides that earn-
ed income plus subsistence may

not exceed $210 a month for a
veteran without dependents, $270
for a veteran with one dependent,
and $290 for a veteran with more
than one dependent. The previous
limits were $175 for a veteran
without dependents and $200 for
a veteran with one or more de-
pendents. Those getting less would
be eligible for the difference, if the
VA consents.

Another provision of the new
aw gives additional increases to
some G.I. Bill job trainees. Only
wages for the standard work week,
exclusive of overtime pay, now are
considered earned income.

In the case of veterans in job
training only, no change was made
in the maximum subsistence pay-
able for $65 a month to a veteran
without dependents and $90 to a
vetran with one or more depend-
ents.

The increased benefits are r
troactive to April 1 in most ca:
The initial payment at the adj
ed rate will include all increases
due from April 1 through the end
of the subsistence period covered
by that check.

Wants Back Pay, Too

Mr. Birnbach claims that on
February 27, 1946 the Board ap-
pointed from the eligible list of
Teachers of Health Education and
Common Branches in Junior High
Schools dated February 20, 1946,
certain persons who had lower
ratings than the rating which Mr.
Birnbach ultimately received.

On his appointment as Teacher
of Health Education and Common
Branches in Junior High Schools,
Mr. Birnbach’s salary was fixed at
$2,850. Had he been appointed on

Playground Director's Plight
Editor, The LEADER:

I am a married man with two
children and have been out of
work. I’m a college graduate, with
a degree in Health Education, I
did a great deal of temporary
night community center recrea-
tional work in NYC. The pay is
$3.00 for three hours. Also, I've
done summer playground work
outside of New York.

I received an offer of a _tem-
porary summer position as Play-
ground Director from the Park De-
partment of NYC for this summer.
Being out of work and having a
family to support, I naturally ac-
cepted. The Playground Director
is in charge of the park and play-
ground, having at least one La
borer and one Assistant Gardener
under him. He inspects the
grounds and the houses, takes care
of the recreational equipment, dis-
tributes it for use and makes sure
it is returned, He writes out a
daily report of everything. The
hours are from noon to 9 p.m
with one day off during the w
For all this the Playground Di-
rector gets $5.50 a day or $33 a
week for 48 hours. The Park De-
partment is not ashamed to pay
married men with families such

of living. Just because it’s tem-
porary work doesn't mean it
should be at coolie wages.

fices, with no experience at all,

Raise for New Employees
Editor, The LEADER:

I read the article in the Civil
Service Leader of May 4 by H. J.
Bernard concerning the raise to
be given to NYC workers.

I think that if Budget Director
Thomas J. Patterson’s ideas on
the raise are his own, he surely
did not give the subject much
thought, especially where Mr.
Patterson declared that the raises
were granted to City employees
and not to non-city employees, as
the prospective new entrants now
are.

As I see it, as soon as a new en-
trant is appointed, he is a city
employee. After all, new employees
are replacing old ones.

In my previous job, all employ-
ees were given a 10 cents an hour
increase and all new applicants
were given advantage of the new
increase simply by raising all job
rates 10 cents above their former
base. This sounds like a sound
business practice to me.

When I took my examination, I
expected a raise in pay because of
the rising cost of living. It is a
moral obligation for anyone, City,
State, Federal or private employ-
er, to pay a living wage.

Surely it costs just as much for
a new city employee to live as it
does for one already working for
the city especially when one must
begin at the starting rate.

Denial of the raise to new en-
trants will only result in complete
demoralization of thousands of
new employees, it will repeat the
offense of different pay for the
same work, the cause of most
labor disputes in the past.

What Public
Employees
Should Know

By THEODORE BECKER

Appoiniment of Local
Employees Can Be
Rescinded If Examination
Is Improper

FE. you recelve an appointment
from an eligible list established
by a Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission (city or county), you have
no assurance that such list will
not be rescinded and your appoint-
ment cancelled, if the examina-
tion you took was itself improper.
This was pointed up in a recent
court action involving an ap-
pointee to the position of Fire
Fighter in the City of Lacka-
wanna,

The appointee instituted a pro-
ceeding to prohibit the State Civil
Service Commission from taking
any steps to cancel such examina-
tion after that Commission had
made a preliminary investigation
which resulted in charges being
preferred against the Lackawanna
Civil Service Commission.

The appointee contended that
the State Civil Service Commission
(1) had prejudged the case; (2)
had failed to give him notice of
the hearings on charges against
the Lackawanna Commission; and
(3) lacked power to rescind the
examination because the statute
under which it sought to act was

As to the contention of prede-
termination, the Supreme Court in
Erie County held the petitioner's
contentions were contradicted by
his factual exhibits which show
that the State Commission had
not judged the matter but was
holding a hearing to give the
Lackawanna Commission an op-
portunity to explain.

Notice Not Needed

As to the contention of failure
to give notice, the Court held that
the hearing in question did not
directly affect the petitioner, as
the rescission of his appointment
would have to be accomplished by
an administrative order, which
would be issued after the hearing
and from which he could take an
appeal to the courts.

As to the third contention, that
subd. 7 of Section 11 of the Civil
Service Law was unconstitutional,
the Court pointed out that prior
to the 1944 amendment there was
no provision authorizing the State
Civil Service Commission to in-
validate examinations given by
municipal commissions or to can-
cel eligible lists established as a
result thereof. In 1944, this provi-
sion was amended to provide that
“said state commission may, at
any time, by unanimous vote of
there commissioners, . . . rescind
any examination or eligible list, or
cancel an appointment already
made from a list so rescinded” on
the ground that “the provisions
or purposes of this chapter are not
properly or sufficiently carried
out”.

What Commission Wanted

In the instant case, the State
Commission indicated by its
charges that it intended, at the
hearing, to inquire into three
matters? ’

(1) whether the examinations
were practical in character and
complied with the standard estab-
lished by section 14 of the Civil
Service Law; (2) whether the
questions and answers were made
known to certain candidates in
advance of the examination; and
(3) whether the oral examination
was so poorly conducted that
many of the candidates knew in
advance the questions which were
to be asked. Although the second
and third charges relate to collu-
sion or fraud, the first subject, ac-
cording to the Court, involves only
the technical question of the prop-
erty or appropriateness of the type
of examination given.

The power to invalidate exam-
inations was attacked by the peti-
tioner as an improper delegation
of legislative power to an adminis-
trative agency and as an invasion
of the home rule provisions of the
Constitution. The standard of the

’s action being suffi-
ciently set forth in the statute, the
Court held that no valid objection
t the Legislature
had granted “unfettered discre-
tionary power” to the Commission.
As to the other point raised, the
Court held that the maintenance
and protection of the merit system
in civil service is a matter of State
concern and appropriate powers
may be vested: in the State Com-

Andrew

"* ALL WORKERS long for se-

curity of employment. No
system has as yet been devised
which affords greater hope for
this natural desire than employ-
ment status under competitive civ-
il service.”

This is the view of Andrew C.
Doyle, who bears the imposing
title of Supervising Labor Media-
tor, Board of Mediation, State De-
partment of Labor.

His feeling about the need for
security is a reflection of his lib-
eral approach to the problems of
man, a particularly necessary
quality in the delicate work which
he performs. Thus, in 1942, Andy
Doyle was drafted by the New
York State War Council to do
a job in eliminating employment
discrimination. The nation was
at war. Every man-hour was pre-
cious. Prejudices which cut down
the quantity of work produced by
the people was inimical to the war
effort, as well as morally wrong.
In the administration of this vir-
gin activity, hundreds of Negroes
and members of other minority
racial groups were integrated into
our war industries, with remark-
able success. His efforts in this
trying, difficult task also included
the elimination of racial and re-
ligious references from newspaper
employment ads. He performed
this crucial job as organizer and
director of the Committee on Dis-
crimination in Employment.

Entered State Service 1924

Mr. Doyle is a Navy veteran of
World War I. After the war, he
enrolled in the Industrial Arts
course at the Rochester Institute
of Technology, from which he
was graduated in 1923.

He entered State service in 1924
as a Sanitary Engineer and Drafts-
man in the former Department of
Architecture, and four years later
became Senior Industrial Engi-
neer in the Department of Labor.

In 1933 the Wicks Bill was
passed which provided for the
pre-determination of wage rates
on public work contracts, Mr.
Doyle was promoted to organize
and direct a field force for the
administration of the new law in

what will happen if you have a
serious accident or sickness. There
are only three:

1. If you have money saved, it
will be used to replace the salary
you will be losing—the very money

2. If you have no money to re-

8. If you cannot borrow, you

rious enough.

Are You Healthy?

Now, let’s admit that you are
the healthiest person alive! You

ten years! That doesn’t mean you

feel about it personally. The strep-

driver on an icy road at night!
Accidents do happen.

No, the idea is not to frighten
you. We do ask you to shed the
idea that you are different from
anyone else, that you are a better
risk than the other fellow, and
we merely ask you to face the

\facts, even if they are unpleasant,

We are trying to point them out
so that you will not be unprotected
if you should be unfortunate.

If nothing happens to you in
the next ten years (and we hope
nothing does!), that peace of
mind is very nice and worth mon-
ey. No doubt you know some of
your associates who have received
benefit checks under the Group
Plan of Accident and Sickness In-
surance, and some of these were
overtaken by a sudden disability,
which in some cases lasted months
and perhaps was really serious,
aon as tuberculosis, heart trouble,
etc.

We hope you agree that pro-
tection for your salary check is
absolutely necessary, This is where
the Group Plan of Accident and
Sickness Insurance comes in. No
other plan or policy we know
about approaches the completeness
of the protection of this Plan.

ALBANY, May 24—The State

learned that an attempt will be
made to obtain from the Court of
Appeals a clarification of the de-
cision in the disabled veteran
preference test case. In that case
the court held that veterans with

mary preference. This ruled out
any inclusion of the so-called zero

amendment, and put them in the
next lower list class, as non-dis-
abled. veterans

It’s This Exciting

The position is in the CAF-6
grade. The trainee who fills it is
in no different status than a pro-
bationer anywhere else, except
that the rigors are greater.

Since the job has to do with
preventing the illegal entry of
aliens, of spotting aliens illegally
in this country and of being a
sort of T-Man to smugglers gener-
ally, it involves much exciting
work, The jobs in the port of New
York and equally close to large
centers are less adventurous, but
still entail plenty of perserverance,
and offer good promotion oppor-
tunities to those especially adept.

One instance of what it means
to be an Inspector was cited by a
veteran of the service. He was at
the Mexican border, where aliens
were being smuggled into the U.S.,
as everyone knew, but only the
Service had the obligation to trap
the offenders, Here’s how it was
done: a bright Inspector, who
himself had been a trainee, laid
black thread over some hundreds
of yards approaching a flume
across which the evil ones were
suspected of crossing with their
human cargoes. So, when persons
were noted on the American side
as having black threads about the
lower reaches of their pants or
dresses, they were seized. It
worked until the smuggling head-

appointment, will serve a brief
probationary period in Washing-
ton, D. C., after which they will
be, in general, assigned abroad,
and their transportation to their
place of employment will be paid
by the U. S. Government, from
present post of duty or residence
via Washington. Transportation of
appointees’ families and effects is
paid from present post or home
direct to the new place of duty.
They are expected to stay on the
job abroad for at least two years.
If they don't, they'll have to pay
their own transportation back
home.

When in the field, employees of
the Foreign Servece receive, in
addition to their regular salaries,
an allowance for rent, heat and
light of living quarters, usually
sufficient to meet their expenses
‘tor these items.

The examination is an annual
one. The date hasn't been set yet.
The written examination tests
are the following:

(1)—ability to read the English
language with comprehension and
reasonable speed.

(2)—breadth and accuracy of
vocabulary.

(3)—ability to interpret statis-
tical tables and graphs; to com-
prehend simple numerical rela-
tionships, and to make simple
mathematical deductions,

(4)—range and accuracy of fac-
tual information.

(5)—ability of expression in
written English,

(6)—knowledge of world his-
tory.
(7)—knowledge of principles of
economics.

Candidates are also required to
take an examination to test their
ability to read with comprehen-
sion one or more modern lan-
gauges (French, German, Portu-
guese, Russian, Spanish).

Under present procedures the
age limits for applicants are 21 to
30, for both men and women.
Successful candidates enter the
service at the salaries stated, de-
pending on age and previous ex-
perience.

the vanguard of a steady stream
of postal employees who will give
blood as the result of an inten-

25,000 Bravisiohalé
On Payroll Set Record

By JEAN GROSSI

NYC has about 25,000 provi-
sionals, a record, The Civil Serv-
ice Commission sees the prospect
of considerable reduction in the
number, as new eligible lists are
used to fill positions permanently.
This process is to start soon on a
large scale, but meanwhile the
NYC Commission has written to
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion, asking a one-year extension
of the wartime-provisional lati-
tude. The rule would expire on
June 30 next.

Investigator List Soon

Lists recently promulgated, or
soon to be, will provide-many eli-
gibles. They include Railroad

Clerk, Grade 2 List
To Be Out in June

The Municipal Civil Service
Commission has announced the
completion of rating of the papers
for Clerk, Grade 2, and the eligi-
ble list is expected to be publish-
ed in June. More than a thousand
of the 14,935 candidates will be
appointed once the list is ready.
The exam was held September 13,
1947,

President Joseph A. McNamara
said that the Commission would
issue the Social Investigator list
in a few weeks, as only investiga-
tions remain to be completed.

He gave Sanitation Commis-
sioner William J. Powell assur-
ances of certifications to mect a
weekly schedule 100 Sanitation
Men and Chairman William Reid,
of the Board of Transportation,
35 Surface Line Operators and
100 Railroad Clerk appointments

Needs Save Himself

President McNamara has writ-
ten to Welfare Commissioner Ray-
mond Hilliard regarding a replace-
ment schedule for that depart-
ment.

“We'll be pretty well out of the
provisional! woods in a few
months,” President McNamara
said. “Meanwhile there may be an
increase, until large eligible lists
are promulgated.”

P.S.—He could use a few pro-
visionals in his own office—Typists
at $6 a day. Secretary Frank A.
Schaefer, the Commission, 6th
floor, 299 rBoadway, does the re-
cruiting for these.

ney.

Court Case

motion to Sergeant. Mr. Kobbe
was in military service and could
not take the examination. The list
was promulgated on November 24,
1942, and expired on November
24, 1946. Mr. Kobbe, discharged as
a disabled veteran on September
12, 1946, was reinstated to his for-
mer position as a patrolman. He
then asked for a special examina-
tion, This was given him last
year. He received a final average
of 82.7, with only 80 per cent re-
eee in the original examina-
ion.

Complainant Cites Constitution

Prior to the special military
examination, two other special
examinations were held for the
promotion, one on June 14, 1945
and the other on June 11, 1946.
All veterans, disabled and non-
disabled, received veteran prefer-
ence in those two examinations
and were appointed, if they passed
with 80 per cent or more, since
the original list had not as yet
expired. However, when Mr. Kobbe
was rated, the list had already
expired and. two other veterans,
non-disabled, who took the ex-
amination with him, received
higher marks and were appointed.

The Commission refused to
certify Mr. Kobbe, claiming that
under Section 246, subdivision 5,
of the Military Law, he could not
be certified and placed on a list,
because his rating was lower than
the rating of the last non-veteran
certified on the original list which
expired on June 14, 1946.

Mr, Kobbe claims that under
Article 5, section 6 of the State
Constitution, since he was a dis-
abled war veteran, he was entitled
to preference in appointment be~
fore any other appointments or
promotions could be made, with-
out regard to his standing on any
list. He claims that since he
passed the examination, he was
entitled to promotion before the
two non-disabled veterans who
took the same examination and

received higher marks,

CIVIL“ SERVICE LEADER

get Director Thomas J. Patterson said tligt the request for
partment promotions, made by Commissioner Frank J.
ye, Will be granted as made. The budget certificates have not
aiyicen issued, but will be, he assured The LEADER, so that the
jjons could be made, he felt, on June 16, in connection with
poms) ceremonies, and effective as of the same date.
pete promotions tatal 109 and among them are 18 to the title of
ty Chief. ‘There are only two disabled veterans on this recently
puly vt, and it is expected that they will cooperate, so as to
jut romulgation of the list this afternoon (Tuesday). Then the
re be green in reality for the Deputy Chief eligibles. The
pe Dire Departmental lists are already cleared through the Veterans
wet ration and the departments lists would all be in the clear
ymin cepting only the exam for Fireman, now in process.
ai ‘Titles and Numbers
commissioner Quayle’s request was for promotions to the fol-
titles: Deputy Chief, 18; Battalion Chief, 26; Captain, 29;
tenant, 36; Total, 109.
Werryere remains the still unsettled question about Fireman appoint-
ots, Mr, Patterson would say nothing about these, which indi-
jnv'd that they would have to wait upon the new budget, which goes
effect on July 1. Normally there would be 36 Fireman appoint-
ents, because of 36 Firemen promoted to Lieutenant. Also, 69
ies could be filled in the Fireman grade. But all is in the
isk as tO Fireman appointments.
How the List Is Constituted
ne eligible list for promotion to Deputy Chief contains the
of 40 Battalion Chiefs, of whom 2 are veterans with 10 per cent
lor more disability, 21 are non-disabled veterans and 17 are non-
werans. With almost half of the eligibles promoted in one opera-
all the eligibles are assured of ultimate.promotion.
‘The eligible list, as rearranged by The LEADER, to effectuate
preference, and from which the top 18 names may be taken,
jgreveal those who would be promoted on June 16, follows:
DEPUTY CHIEF, FIRE DEPT. (Prom.)

(Continued from Page 1)
could be held in Van Cortland
Park in September and October.
That is the minimum schedule,
but the Commission is trying to
exceed it, raising the possibility of
physicals beginning in August for
the Fireman candidates. A pian
to hold the three-fold exam’s phy-
sicals at the Commission test
room is off.

Meanwhile those who passed
the writen test, which is true if
they got 63 or more answers cor-
rect, or gave not more than 27
wrong answers to the 90 questions,
as to prospects,

will be exhausted by the time the
new one is promulgated, so fast
appointments are in order. There
would be about 2,500 appoint-
mnts during the four-year legal
life of the list. This is the first
Fireman or Patrolman (P-D.) list
in years that will expire by opera-
tion of law, instead of being ex-
hausted by appointment of all the
eligibles.
Preview of List |
While the Commission was}
striving for a final eligible list of |
about 3,000, its only means of
controlling this was in the nature
of the written test. This proved
to be fair, no cinch, not too tough,
and offering possibilities of some
7,000 passing that test and 8,000

|job and,

NEW YORK CITY NEWS
FIREMAN COMPETITION

The Commission would be well
satisfied with this number, but
woud not be alarmed if the num-
ber were 3,000 or even between
2,800 and 3,000. The reason is that
there will be more than enough
eligibles, at any rate, and, if pre-
vious experience is repeated, no
likelihood of any rescaling to pro-
ducé a sufficient number of eligi-
bles. For 2,500 jobs a list of 2,800
would normally be enough to meet
the needs of the service, since the
declinations of offers of Fireman
jobs are relatively few.
Agility a Stumbling Block

“What stumps most in the phy-
sical test is agility,” said Mr.
Brennan.

In this test the candidate must
lie down, spring up to scale a 6-
foot fence and run through a
maze, and there’s little time given.
Practice is important, and there
are only two places that have
erected a course where the test
can be duplicated—the Delehanty
Institute and the YMCA school.

This time the competition for
the jobs is keener than previously,
because since 1939 every Patrol-
man examination, and ever since
1935 every Fireman ination,
has exhausted its list eligibles,
Le. every eligible was offered a
if passing the depart-
mental medical test, and willing
and able to accept, was appoint-
ed.

cluded among those who passed,
in the present test that situation
will ont arise, as the next mark
below 70 is below 69.

published in last week's LEADER,
issue of May 18, naturally know
more’ or less whether they'll pass
the medical—the test of heart,
lungs, sight etc.—and are con-
cerned about the physical. The

The Fireman test is the Medi-
cal-Physical Bureau Division's big-
gest job this year.

Test Good, Says McNamara

President McNamara, asked
what he thought of the written
test, said: “It was very good. It
was just the least bit difficult, I
thought, if a large list were re-
quired, but as we sought a mini-
mum of 4,500 to pass the written,
there should be more than enough
final eligibles to cope with the
city’s needs.”

For the benefit of those who,
according to the tentative key,

rect answers is given below. “Q”
stands for the number of questions
answered correct, “P.C.” for the
resultant percentage. While in
past examinations candidates

;|Who obtained more than 69 per-

cent but less than 70 were

in-

| had
physical test, the candidate who
filed his application ahead of the
other or others will get the break.
|If candidates filed on the same
| day, records were kept, not of the
| actual minute, but in time-groups,

in same-day cases.

After the eligibles are placed in
the order of relative standing by
percentages, veteran preference is
applied: veterans with 10 percent
or more disability rating go to
the top of the list, in the relative
order of standing among them-
selves; other veterans come next,
on the same basis, and non-vet-
erans last. Since there will be eli-
gibles who won't receive any job
offer, because of more eligibles
|than prospective vacancies, the
|non-veterans will be hardest hit,
but the effect is minimized by the

| fact that nearly all the candidates
jare veterans. In the last Fireman
and Patrolman examinations the

Buildings | Passed the written test, the per-|number of veterans exceeded 95
5389; |Centage scores for numbers of cor-| percent. It depends much on the

final number of eligibles. If there
are 3,000, and 500 get no jobs,
200 non-veterans, on the 5 p.c.
basis, would lose out, but so
would 300 veterans also. All non-
veterans, instead of being ap-
Pointed would be disappointed.
