EDITORIAL
When Dewey
Meets Politicians
Big political story of last week was the scheduled
meeting of Governor Thomas E. Dewey with Republican
to discuss the State’s finances. Part of
this discussion was said to be concerned with the upward
pay adjustment which State employees are demanding.
When fiscal matters get tight, there is a tendency in
political circles to let the employees hold the bag. The
Governor has already pointed out how much more every-
thing is costing the State this year. It is reported that his
commissioners insist on their full budgets.
The men meeting together on these problems should
understand that they cannot, must not, “take it out on”
the employees, Nor should they assume that the State’s
workers will be content with a 10 per cent increase,
whether in permanent or bonus form. The State em-
ployee feels that he has lived through the worst year of
inflation without having had a pay raise, and as he sees
it, he has contributed that much to the wealth of the State.
The cold figures show that even a 25 per cent across the-
board pay increase wouldn’t bring him up to what he
earned nine years ago, in actual buying power.
5 per cent minimum increase. In justice,
the State can hardly pay him less.

the need for considerable im-

workers to be urgent. They seek

ultimately be treated.
Time Clocks, Maybe
Employees have learned that
there is some intention of putting
in time clocks, to check the num~-
ber of hours worked, against a
working schedule of 2,000 hours
a year, Since this looks toward
definite and uniform hours, with
overtime recognized, the question
arises whether overtime would be
paid for in money, or offset by
time off. The best information is,
compensatory time off. However,
there likely would be no time off,
unless the employee's supervisor,
or the head of the department or
institution, sanctioned the over-
time work and Budget Director
John E, Burton approved it, they
were informed. With Albany mak-
ing such final decision, it struck
many employees that more evi-
dence existed that the employees

Economics Janitors now work 40
hours, consisting of seven five-
hour days and a half day of 5
hours, retroactive to April last,
with compensatory time off on
overtime. Farm Practice employ-
ees, and those in Floriculture and

time, while Dairy workers also

"Persuasion In A High Hat"
C
HARLES LUCKMAN, Chairman of the Citizens Food
Committee, has characterized current “public rela-
tions” as “Persuasion in a High Hat.” Mr. Luckman him-
self takes off his hat to persuade.
He also stated that
Labor and Management sit down at a square table, man-
agement arrayed in its highest high hats, and Labor in
its work clothes,
He wants a round table where both
parties are dressed and act alike.
“We need to do a gigantic task of air-conditioning in
labor relations,” says Mr, Luckman. “The need is for
mutual understanding and a
for common ends,””
Conferences
willingness to work together
All Too Few
In public service, public relations and personnel rela-
tions are not recognized as of much importance. We do
have some high-hatted and some stuffed-shirted and some
politically-minded executives and officials, but we have
few conference tables, square or round. Those in author-
ity too often try to solve all our difficulties by a new rule
or regulation or a new
doesn’t work,
a procedure or form, Of course, it
Distance may lend enchantment to the
view, but it lends formalism and misunderstanding in
human relations,
Main Purpose of Public Labor Act
The main purpose in The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation’s proposed Public Employment Labor Relations
Act is to multiply round table conferences where the
stuffed shirts and the high hats are checked with the hat-
girls. It may require, as Mr. Luckman suggests, some time
before we all acquire the habit of dealing with facts and
problems from a common objective and human viewpoint,
We agree with Mr.
Luckman that the honest attempt to
look at and to find a solution for the problems of the em-
ployees impartially and humanely would be a major
revolution in business and, (we add) public affairs.

law as postponing the benefits in

cases,
Legislative Intent Shown
In ruling for the employees,
Justice Bergan has rendered a
decision which will have wide
ramifications. There was no defi-
nite indication at press time
whether the State would appeal.
Said Justice Bergan:
“Tt seems to me that the Legis-
lature intended that an allocation
to the new, simpler and more
equitable salary grades provided
by the 1947 statute carry with it
the time credit of the new grade
that the employee had in his
grade on March 31, and that the
benefit of this goes to one who has
undergone the process of both a
statutory and an administrative
reallocation effective together on
April 1, 1947, The scheme of the
statute and the purpose to be
accomplished point in that direc-
tion. All the adjustments made
before October 1 were tied in to
April 1, the general effective date
of the change, and it is apparent
@ unitary treatment was intended
for all positions affected by the
change made, or made operative,
April 1:
“It would take pretty clear
language in the 1947 statute to
lead to a construction that where
there are statutory administrative
allocations both operative together
and part of an inter-related sys-
tem of change, the employee is
not entitled to the time credit in
the salary grade of the ultimate
allocation coming within the
period fixed by the statute. I find
no such language and I think
petitioner is entitled to the relief
he seeks,
Comprehensive Brief
The brief submitted by Mr.
DeGraff gave a comprehensive
history of the State’s salary laws,
traced their consistent tenor of
protection of employees’ pay scales
based on years of service, and
showed that the laws passed by
the 1947 session of the Legisla-
ture mandated benefits, as of
April 1 last, to all those em-
ployees whose pogitions were re-
allocated as a result of the Salary
Standardization Board's work,
On Mrch 31, 1947, Mr, DeMarco,
held the position of Laboratory
Worker, which was then allocated
to Service 2, Grade Ib in the old
Salary schedule, This service and
grade were converted to Grade
2 in the new schedule. This con-
version was effective April 1, 1947,
Subsequently, on April 14, 1947,
Mr. DeMarco’s position was re-
allocated by the Salary Board to
Grade 3. Mr. DeGraff quoted this
section of the law:
“Any allocations made by the
Salary Standardization Board on
and after April first, 1947, and
prior to October 1, 1947, and ap~
proved by the director of the
budget, shall become effective as
of April first, 1947.”
Bonus Conversion
The attorney pointed out that
one of the purposes of the con-
version was to incorporate the
emergency bonus into the new sal-
ary schedule. The conversion from
the old scales, plus the emergency
bonus, to the new scales with no
bonus, resulted in small salary in-
creases ranging from $1 to $100
in some cases and in other cases
there was no increase whatever.
The average increase from the
conversion was about $50 a year,
and for this purpose the Legisla-
ture, on the recommendation of
the Governor, appropriafed

$2,500,000.
In its report to the Governor,
in January 1947, the Salary Board
acknowledged inequities and in-
equalities in employee pay to
which the Governor had referred
in his 1946 message, and which
had remained uncorrected. ‘The
Board had specifically requested
that “sufficient, funds” be appro-
priated to “adjust the salaries of
those positions found to be under=
paid.”
$3,000,000 for Equity
The Governor, in his message
to the Legislature on February 1,
1947, “wholeheartedly” supported
the Board’s proposal, After recom-
mending an appropriation of
$2,500,000 to accomplish the auto-
matic conversion, he said:
“Certain reallocations of posi-
tions will be completed between
now and October 1, 1947, (effec-
tive as of April 1, 1947) to make
the whole plan fully equitable
among all employees, These _r¢
allocations will cost some $3,-
000,000.”
Nevertheless, despite this back-
ground, the Civil Service Com-
mission had construed the law tax
in a manner which, Mr, DeGraff
argued, nullified the $3,000,000
appropriation made by the Legis-
lature.
“Under the defendant's con-
struction,” the legal brief said,
“the cost of the retroactive re-
allocations will be, not $3,000,000
—but a mere $200,000—a differ-
ence so huge that it cannot be
lightly brushed aside as an ‘over-
estimate.”
“It must be presumed that the
Governor had a definite construc-
tion in mind and certain specific
objectives in view when, on the
advice of his subordinat he
recommended the appropriation
of $3,000,000, instead of $200,000.
The construction adopted by the
Civil Service Commission, how-
ever seems to be based on the
assumption that the figure of
$3,000,000 has no meaning what-
f)ever and was picked at random
from the air,”
Mr. DeGraff argued that the
Legislature carried out the Gov-
ernor’s intentions. The 33
brief ended in these words
defendants’ construction nullifies
the recommendation of the Gov-
ernor and the appropriation of
the Legislature, and places the
Governor and the Legislature in
the sition of being ‘Indian

Court's Opinion
Is Disturbing
HE Appellate Division, First Department, Justice
Shientag dissenting, has rendered a disturbing opinion
in a civil service case.
In deciding that a $4,000 Examining Physician, Grade
4, in the Board of Education, could be put in charge of
the Medical Staff, at $7,850, because Grade 4 is the top,
and without salary limit, the court stressed the virtues of
personal selection of incumbents for supervisory positions,
as against selection by competitive examination.
“The assignment of supervisory duties to a position
such as this does not necessarily constitute a promotion
within the meaning of the civil service law,” say the court.
“It has been so held in respect of action by the Police
Commissioner in selecting from among the members of the
uniformed force a Superintendent of Buildings in the
Police Department. .. . The ability to superintend and
work effectively over other men or women is one of the
most intangible of human characteristics, and is difficult
to measure by formal examination. There is common
sense in leaving the determination of such qualities, within
proper limits, to the good judgment of those who have
been able to observe the conduct of the individual in ques-
tion in the performance of his work over a period of time
in association with the persons he is being detailed to
supervise.”
Method Used to Obtain Man Who Was Wanted
The particular beneficiary of this easy system had
passed two competitive examinations, but none of them
for the duties of Chief Medical Examiner. Indeed the
Board of Education itself held the post of Chief Medical
Examiner to be in the competitive class, and so had the
Civil Service Commission. An examination was to be held
to fill the position. But then the Board of Education re-
versed itself, and attempted to abolish the position of Chief
Medical Examiner. It assigned the senior Examining
Physician, Grade 4, to the same duties as were set forth
in the request for an examination, The incumbent’s title
as unchanged; but his duties and pay were not.
In fact, the same Examining Physician had been ap-
pointed provisionally to the Chief Medical Examiner post.
Therefore the net result was that the appointing officer,
in this instance a Board, obtained the incumbent it desired
for the promotion post, without having to resort to any
examination,
If promotion examinations can be thus easily evaded,
then a serious threat menaces the merit system through-
out the entire State, and especially with the blessings of
blind justice upon it. However, the defeated petitioner is
appealing, so that the State’s highest court may pass on
the question,
A Strong Dissenting Voice
Justice Shientag in his dissenting opinion wrote:
“Instead of going through with the plans which had
been formulated and virtually agreed upon between the
Board of Education and the Civil Service Commission,
what the Board of Education did was simply th n order
to avoid a competitive test or a promotion examination for
the position of Chief Medical Examiner, it retraced all the
steps it had previously taken, purported to abolish the
position altogether, and bestowed upon the provisional
appointee under his former title all the duties, responsi-
bilities and emoluments of Chief Medical Examiner, except
the name. This indicates a design and attempt on the part.
of the Board of Education to avoid the requirements of
the constitution and of the CivilsService law.”
Whatever the disposition of the case should have been,
on questions of fact and Jaw, certainly the reasoning of
the majority opinion is out of keeping with the spirit of
the merit system as enunciated in our constitution and
harks back fifty years to arguments of opponents of the
merit system. Fortunately a strong dissenting voice is
raised from the bench in defense of the merit system, but
let us hope it will not be the last such voice,

been decided, the Commission has
promised a simple literary test,
The candidate will be asked to
read aloud a paragraph of ap-
proximately 50 words, printed in
simple, clear English. He will be
asked to demonstrate that he can
write. The Commission will not
require anything perfect or fancy,
but just enough so that it can
be determined, in a generous sense,
that the candidate can write.
There is a possibility that the
test will resemble the one given
to new voters. In this test, the
person is given a simple, short
paragraph to red. Questions then
are asked on points covered in
the paragraph, and usually the
answer can be given by copying
directly from the paragraph, For
example, suppose paragraph is
about NYC. Somewhere in the
paragraph it would say that there
are five boroughs in NYC. One of
the questions probably would ask
how many boroughs there are in
NYC. To answer, the candidate
need only copy the portion of the
paragraph which gives the num-
ber of boroughs. The paragraphs
are clearly, and simply worded,
and all questions can be answered
from information in the para-
graph. No prior knowledge of the
subject is required.
The official examination notice
follows:

Number of Employee
Special to The LEADER
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.—At the
beginning of last month a total
of 1,773,900 civilian employees
were in the executive departments
and agencies of the Federal Gov-
ernment in continental U. 8. ac-
cording to preliminary figures
announced today by the U. 8.
Civil Service Commission. Com-
pared with October this repre-
sents an increase of approximate-
ly_ 7,300 employees.
In Washington, D. C., the total
at the beginning of November was
195,400, practically unchanged
from one month ago.
In the entire executive branch
of the United States Government,
including persong outside the con~
tinental United States, the num-
ber of civilian employees totaled
2,024,000. This total is at approxi-
mately the same level as report-
ed last month and compares with
2,435,000 a year ago and the peak
figure of 3,770,000 recorded just
before VJ-day.
Increases of 4,800 in the Post
Office Department and 6,300 in
the Department of the Army in
the continental United States
were reported. Other fairly large
changes occurred during the past
month in the Department of the
Air Force, Agriculture Department,
Veterans Administration, and War
Assets Administration. All other
agencies had comparatively small
net changes.

nounced.
A Junior Professional Assistant
examination for appointments out-
side the NYC area will be con-
ducted December 6. It includes
those persons who filed applica-
tions with the Washington office
of the Commission. After the ex-
amination is completed and they
have reached eligible lists, persons
who seek appointments in this
area may apply to the Commission
to be transferred to the list to be

Q.—What is the basis for
crediting military or naval serv-
ice where the individual is receiv-
ing another benefit?
A—If a veteran is in receipt
of compensation under the Vet~
erans’ Administration by reason of
@ service-connected disability, this
benefit is based upon the disease
or injury and not upon length
of service, and the total military
or naval service may be credited
for civil retirement purposes In
case a person of non-service-
connected disability has been
awarded, he may receive retire-
ment credit for all military or
nayal service except the minimum
period (generally 90 days) required
for title to the pension. Should
the veteran be receiving retired
pay, none of his miiltary or naval
service is available for civil re-
tirement credit,
Q.—Must a veteran who returns
to the Federal service after mili-
tary duty make deposit for the
FLEMMING URGES PUBLICITY
Arthur S. Flemming, U, S, Civil
Service Commissioner, declared
that the advantages of a Fed-
eral service career must be ef-
fectively publicized if high-class
personnel are to be recruited and
kept in Federal service, otherwise
there will be a constant danger
of entrusting highly complex du-
ties and responsibilities to second-
grade men and women,
He describes the government as
& progressive employer whose pro-
grams challenge the best in the
ablest men and women in the
4] country.
“The colleges should recognize
the extent of these responsibili-
ties,” he said, “and give students
an opportunity to discharge these
tremendously important duties.
Some of the best men and women

Lepr ene
in this country are working in
period of his service in the armed
forces?
A.—An employee serving with
the military or naval forces who
is carried, or is presumed to have
been carried, on the rolls of a
Federal agency in a furlough or
leave-without-pay status will be
entitled, without contribution to
the retirement fund to credit for
the entire period of- his leave of
absence while performing military
service. Credit under the Civil
Service Retirement Act .may not
be allowed for any portion of this
Period forming the basis of some
other benefit. The employee may,
if he so chooses, have this period
of time credited as military serv-
ice, Such choice would be to his
advantage only in case the mili-
tary basic salary is sufficiently in
excess of his civil compensation
to produce a~higher 5-year aver-
age for annuity computation pur-
poses. However, service credit may
not exceed the elapsed calendar
time; that is, credit may not be
allowed for both civil and mili-
tary service covering the same
period.
Q.—Under what conditions is a
Federal employee entitled by law
to reemployment upon his return
from the armed forces?
A—() He must have left a
non-temporary position in the
Federal Government for the pur-
pose of performing active service
in the armed forces of the United
States or with the U. 8. Public
Health Service.
(2) He must (a) have entered
active military or naval service
after May 1, 1940; or (b) have
been a member of a reserve com-
ponent of the land or nayal forces
on active duty on August 27, 1940
or assigned to active duty under
Public Resolution No. 96, 76th
Congress; or (c) have been a
reserve officer of the U. 8, Public
Health Service who entered active
duty since November 11, 1943.

Social Investigator
4 oy of $2,000 Asked
A proposal for a $2,000 entrance
salary for Social Investigators was
made by Local 1, United Public
Workers CIO to NYC Budget
Director Thomas J. Patterson.
Jack Bigel, UPW President, and
Frank Herbst, Local 1 Representa-
tive, maintained $2,000, plus $660,
was the minimum salary necés-
sary to maintain the present staff
in the Welfare Department. They
pointed to the huge turnover tak-
ing place as proof of the fact that
$1800 was too low a salary to at-
tract necessary personnel.
Mr. Patterson said” he would

$138 a month for 100 per cent.
Hence, unless a war veteran re-
ceives such a pension, he is not
entitled to primary preference,
the court held.
‘The issue was more clearly pre-
sented in the present case than in
two earlier ones in which deci;
ions were in opposite directions.
As a result of the latest decision,
in the case of Robert W. Carey
and Julius L, Fried against the
NYC Civil Service Commission,
the Comnrission will promulgate
lists and apply the rule set down
by Justice McGeehan: “disability
requires at least 10 per cent
ing by the Veterans Adminis
tion and that anything less cannot
be the basis for a ‘disability’ pre-
ference in civil service.”
Murphy To Appeal
The State Civil Service Com-
mission, defendant in the Barry
case, which upheld zero disability
rating as entitling a war veteran
to primary preference on an eligi-
ble list, will decide today what to
do, but is expected to continue
honoring zero per cent disability,
until the whole question is finally
settled on appeal,
In the Carey case, Corporation
Counsel Charles E. Murphy will
take an appeal.
Opinion In Full
Justice McGeehan’s opinion in
the Carey case, in which Attorney
H. Eliot Kaplan represented the
petitioners, follows in full:
“Matter of Carey et al, (Morton,
etc.)—This application, brought
on behalf of the petitioners, seeks

Mr. Murphy has been giving
the law serious and se atten-

problems are involved. One of the
toughest is the determination of
where the city's obligation ends,
concerning mixed benefits, such
as additional annuities, including
retroactive ones, bought by vet-
erans after their return from the
war. It is expected, however, as
the legal problems are being
solved one by one, and most have
been licked, that his opinion will

Court Decision
Won't Delay Lists
The decision of Justice McGee-
han will not delay the scheduled
promulgation of the Patrolman
(P.D.) eligible list this week, The
Police Department has announced
that it will make 439 appoint-
ments as soon as the eligibles can
be certified by the Commission.
No change is expected in the
Commission’s announced plans to
publish the Social Investigator list
this week and the Sanitation Man,
Class B, list in January, Both lists
will be published subject to inve:
rence
malcy—an impairment of the nor-
mal functions or appearance of
an individual. It is apparent that
those disabilities rated by the Vet-
erans Administration at less than
10 per cent, are those instances
where the individual is a normal
person under no recognized handi-
cap sufficient to create a condition
of sub-normalcy; but rather that
such individual possesses an im-
perfection or irregularity that is
more or less incidental to a nor-
mal person. For such imperfec-
tions and irregularities even vet-
erans cannot expect advantage in
civil service not definitely and
age. In the absence of such langu-
in clear and unmist ble langu-
tigation of claims for veteran pref- |
erence ,and therefore will not be|
delayed because of the zero per|
cent disability mixup. |
The Commission presently does
not see any need for another dis- |
certificate. The one put}
into use recently supplies sufficient
information to determine a can-
idates eligibility under the new
court order.

York. The petitioners Robert W.
Carey and Julius L, Fried are vet-
erans of World War II. The peti-
tion presented to this court alleges
that of the many veterans on the
eligible list for lieutenant, a sub-
stantial number of said veterans
have claimed and have been
granted disabled veterans prefer-
ence under Article V, section 6,
of the Constitution of the State
of New York. That while a num-

in both medical and non-medical |
usage. It is alleged that these men
have recelyed an advantage that
is not rightfully theirs and which
hould be conferred only upon vet-
erans suffering from an actual and
real disability, It appears that the
Veterans Administration is obliged |
to apply a schedule of disability
ratings commencing with a mii
imum or initial degree of disab!
ity of 10 per cent, for compensa-
tion and pension purposes. It is
alleged that for the purpose of
civil service ratings the Municipal
Civil Service Commission of the
City of New York has adopted a
policy of recognizing so-called di
abilities of less than 10 per cent.

Such 2. policy has a serious effect

cerned only with the administra-
tion of civil service principles in
the light of existing law. A dis-

“There are no provisions made

"HE average person applying for
an examination has had little
or no previous experience with
Civil Service and may experience
@ maze of technicalities. But Civil
Service fundamentals are not
difficult to understand.
Each technicality, when in-
spected individually, usually is
simple to understand and follow,
It is only when rules are lumped
that they become awesome, and
the applicant confused.
‘The wise applicant should take
the trouble to find out what the
few regulations applying to his
examination mean. Failure to do
so, and probable failure to meet
necessary requirements,” could
mean the loss of @ job oppor-
tunity.
One of the confusing parts of
civil service for the newcomer is
the terminology. Many applicants
learn too late that there are words
which have different applications
in civil service than in ordinary
usage. Following are definitions
for a number of terms which crop
up often in civil service matters:
Classified Service: This consists
of all offices or positions over
which the Civil Service Commis-
sion has jurisdiction, classified
under one of the four classes:
Exempt, Competitive, Non-Com-
Petitive and (in cities) Labor.
Competitive Class: The State
Constitution requires that, as fas
as is practicable, all positions are
to be placed in this classification,
and must be filled by competitive
examinations, These are tests in
which rated percentage are given
and candidates take a standing
in order of their relative scores,
modified by veteran preference.

The NYC Civil Service Com~
mission has made elaborate plans
for the issuing and receipt of
applications, a simultaneous oper-
ation, in the Laborer examina-
tion, which opens today and closes
on Thursday, said Acting Presi-
dent Joseph A, McNamara.
Employees of the Commission,
including bureau heads, will be
on hand to see that the public
gets prompt and efficient service.
The Acting President will spend
some time there himself. The
place to apply is at 232 West 60th
Street, where a police detail will
help the flow of applicant traffic.
The interest in the examination
exceeds all expectations. Depart-
ment heads and Borough Presi-
dents have taken a great interest
in it themselves, because of the
large number of provisionals they
have in the $35.76 to $45 jobs.
They want to give their employees
every opportunity to obtain per-
manency, though the officials’
presence will have only the effect
of moral support.
Total Cost, $1.12
The applications will be pre-
numbered, and the candidates
will occupy a position on the list
in the relative order of their num-
bers, except that veteran prefer-
ence will be applied. Each day’s
group will be treated separately
in veteran preference administra-
tion. Therefore it is important to
apply as early as possible, prefer-
ably on the first day, since even
a@ non-veteran last among the
first day’s applicants would be
head of a disabled veteran first
the second day’s group. It was
expected that some candidates
would be prepared to stand in
line overnight, the first night, or
part of that night. Different groups
had independently selected hours
to show up on Tuesday, like 4
a.m., and it is expected that some
department heads and Borough
Presidents will be there with them,
just for encouragement.
Besides service the Commission
will also supply vigilance. It will
have some of its own investiga-
tors there, as well as others, to
help spot impersonators. Com-
missioner McNamara warned
that anybody caught posing as
somebody else will be prosecuted.
Impersonation in ~ Labor Class
examinations have been a source
of trouble in the past.
The applicant must pay a $1
fee, plus 12 cents for notary serv-
‘ce. The Commission’s own em-
Ployees are the notaries.
Patrolman and Asst. Foreman
Commissioner McNamara said
that the Assistant Foreman pro-
motion list, Department of Sani-
tation, and the Patrolman (P.D.)
list will be promulgated today
(Tuesday), “with or without
holes”, meaning regardless of
whether all the veteran preference
claims have been cleared. Agree-
ment on this was reached at the
Commission’s meeting.
Police Commissioner Arthur W.
Wallander expects to appoint 438
Patrolman from the list, effective
Tuesday, December 16. Promulga-
tion makes certification and ap-
pointment possible. Eligibles will
be called promptly to Police Head-
quarters for examination for ex-
amination by Police Surgeons.
The Police Department wants
men “who can do patrol duty,”
as it already has 300 men on
Ught duty, doing desk jobs and
the like. The department has ex-
cellent facilities for medical ex-
amination, surpassing those of the
Commission.
Mr. McNamara said, in answer-
ing a question, that the Commis-
sion certified names from the Fire
Lieutenant promotion list, with
all preference claims cleared, more
than enough for the appointments

INSIDE STORY OF
that Fire Commissioner Frank J.
Quayle wanted to make, and that
he did not know any of the back-
ground of the budgetary aspects.
It is known that shrinkage re-
sulted from the budget certificate
allowing for 20 Lieutenants and
34 Firemen, instead of 10 more
of each,
Budget Director Thomas J. Pat- |
terson made the certificates cover
34 Firemen and 20 Lieutenants.
He found that when he got the
list for Lieutenant one name had
not been cleared for veteran pref-
erence and he stopped there,
Fire Dept. Promotions
The list for promotion to Cap-
tain (F.D.) is expected to be
ready in this month, the Acting
President said. Joseph Zweig,
head of the Commission's Exam-
ining Service, reported to him
that the rating is nearly com-
pleted. It is expected that the
failure notices will be mailed out
by Friday, December 12, The
other Fire Department promotion
tests—for Battalion Chief and
Deputy Chief—will not be ready
until after the end of the year,
“and that doesn't necessarily
mean that they'll be published
in January.” The papers are now
being rated.
A tentative decision was reached
by the Commission to hold the
popular Special Patrolman exam-
ination in January and the Fire-
man (F.D.) test in February. The
first-named is to fill Correction
Officer, Bridge and Tunnel Offi-
cer and Special Patrolman (Tran-
sit) jobs.
The decision was made, follow-
ing a report from Sylvester Con-
nolly, Director of the Certifica-
tion Bureau, showing that there
are now 328 names on the 1936
Fireman list, of which 88 were
certified on Nevember 19 last to
Commissioner Quayle. The exam-
ination, the report said, was
taken on July 13, 1946, the list
was published on December 6,
promulgated on December 13, and
had 1,507 names on it, originally.
The need for a new Fire exami-
nation is based on the probable
early depletion of the 1946 list.
As an aid to determining how
much speed is necessary, Com-
missioner McNamara has written
to Commissioner Quayle for an
estimated rate of appointments
of Fireman and promotions, also.
