Learning the Ropes in ODB;
600 New Employees Needed

The Office of Dependency Benefits in Newark is re-
cruiting 600 new workers, expects the great majority of
them to be girls, and that this will be the first job for a

large number of them.

Practically all of the people

taken on will start at about $34 a week.

To train the new employees in
the intricacies of their positions,
in an establishment which is
similar to a combination insur-
ance company and mail order
house operating on a world-wide
scale, the ODB starts each em-
ployee off with a three-day
course in the basic elements of
his job

‘Types of Jobs
Over 85 different types of
work are performed by the
10,000-odd civil service employ-

ees at this mammoth office,
Jobs range from typing, filing,
indexing, and routine clerical

work to examining and adjudi-
cating evidence (to establish de-
pendency and relationship with
the service men), and the many
complicated jobs involved in
ting up and maintaining
counts, and in paying

ace
the
monthly checks to soldiers’ de-

pendents.

Accountants, key-punch oper-
ators, business machine oper-
ato as well as people with legal
and technical training work for
the ODB, administering the
millions of family allowances
and salary allotments handled
by that agency.

The preliminary 3-day basic
training cou is required of
all new employees. Classes are
run on a round-table plan, with
the Army officer-instructor an-
swering all questions that come
up in the course of his lectures.

One purpose of the course is
to give the new worker a knowl-
edge of the entire workings of
the office, He learns the laws
under which dependency-bene-
fits operates, and what must be
done to administer each of the
benefits, He is ight not only
his own job, but the relationship
of that job to the whole proce:
Then, when he is assigned to his
place on the assembly line, he
knows why his operation is nec
essary and where it fits into the
plan, and also what Mary Jones,
who performs the operation
ahead of him, is doing, and why.
And he is aware of the operation
which John Smith, who comes
after him on the line, is perform-
ing

40 Forms
The first day in school, the
new ODB worker receives a
training kit containing the 40
forms with which he must be-
come familiar, And during the
course, this jig-saw puzzle of
printed cards and regulations
combines to give him a clear pic-
ture of ODB at work,
Other Courses
In addition to the course for

new workers, other training is
given as employees move up the
ladder towards supervisory posi-
tions.

One of the more popular
ses at the ODB school is that
‘recedents,"” Legal opinions
which have been established by
the agency in the past when
questions of human relationship
and legal procedure came up.
Problems like these are covered:

What is the status of a Japa-
nese internee who is the parent
of an American soldier.

Is a marriage performed in
Florida by a Notary Public legal?

Where are common-law mar-
riages legal?

Seven classes have already
been conducted for over 200 su-
pervisory employees, who have
Jearned the cases which serve as
a guide to their handling of the
diversity of relationship appear-
ing on the application forms.

Military correspondence has
its own language, which is like
Greek even to girls with long
civilian office experience, so
there is a course in this field.

Supervisors’ Course

What is important to employ-
ees in another course given to
supervisors. It is an Efficiency
Rating course to enable the
higher employees to rate their
subordinates on the performance
of duties.

For Officers

Special courses are given to
Army. offic Many civilians
have been commissioned directly
from their former jobs into the
ODB and had to familiarize
themselves with both civil service
procedure and the administrative
setup of the ODB,

A number of the machines
used in the ODB haven't yet
appeared in commercial offices,
and personnel has to be trained
in their use.

Officials at the ODB, where
over four million family allow-
ance and allotment of pay checks
go out to soldiers’ families each
month, feel that their training
program is largely responsible for

helping to get an important
home front job done.
In addition to the clerical

workers, there are a few open-
ings for I.B.M. operators, and
key-punch machine operators
who receive higher salaries, de-
pending on their skill,

The employment office, which
hires workers on a war-service
civil service basis, is right off
the styeet entrance to the build-
ing at 213 Washington Street,
and is open from 8 to 5 daily.
If you prefer, you may apply at
the office of the Federal Civil
Service Commission, 641 Wash-
ing’ on Street, New York City.

setup in ODB's Personnel Coun-
sel Office means to'you:

Government Sets Up Precise Rules

For Firing Employeesat War’s End

By CHARLES SULLIVAN
WASHINGTON—Temporary employees will be the
first to go when Uncle Sam begins pruning his Govern-
ment worker staff at the end of the war.
War Service employees who haven’t completed their
trial periods, and indefinite employees who don’t have
Civil Service status will be in the second group.

War Service employees who
have completed their trial peri-
ods, and indefinite employees
who do have Civil Service status
will be in the third group.

And permanent employees who
have acquired Civil Service will
be the last to go

The procedure that will deter-
mine your chances of keeping

down by Civil Service Commis-
sion last week in a new set of
Reduction in Force regulations.
The LEADER told you a month
ago that the emphasis would be
on seniority rather than effi-
ciency ratings. That is exactly
the way it has worked out.

Within the four major groups
listed above, the Commission set

portant news - develop-
ment concerning estab-
lishment of regulations

World War I’—is being

su Editor.

up a number of sub-groups.
These will apply when it be-
comes necessary to choose be-
tween employees within any one
major group. Here is how it will
work:

Reduction Points

‘To every employee, his agency
will assign Reduction Points, He
will get one point for each year
of service. He will get additional
points for his efficiency rating,
as follows: 96 points for Excel-
lent; 86 points for Very Good;
80 points for Good: zero points

OEM
Trouble Brews

The recent resignation of half
of the staff of the Office for
Emergency Management's Con-
tract and Lease Division in New
York City hasn't solved the em-
ployee difficulties there,

The LEADER has learned that
a group of employees, dissatis-
fied with personnel methods
used at this office, have sent a
telegram to Washington head-
quarters demanding an investi-
gation of the local branch.

The employees who have been
serving under William W. Bing-
ham, Jr., regional service opera-
tions officer, addressed a tele-
gram to Dallas Dort, national
director of the agency, charging
that the complacency of local of-
ficials made it impossible for
them to receive a hearing or
obtain any redress,

In the meanwhile, however,
Mr. Dort has resigned his post
as head of the organization and
has been replaced by William
Brown,

Will Testify

And several of the employees
who resigned at the end of July
in protest after one of their
number had been suspended,
haye indicated their willingness
to appear at any hearing and
testify about the practices which
they allege led to their leaving
the OEM.

The telegram was unsigned, as
the workers state they fear re-
prisals if it becomes known
which of them have initiated
the protest. The original resig-
nations in the department came
after’ one employee was sus-
pended on the grounds that he
had incited another employee to
get in touch with the Washing-
ton officials and complain about
working conditions at the New
‘York office. e

for Fair. The employee with the
least points will have to go first.
Specifically, here is the order of
release:

1—Empioyees without military
preference who have Fair effi-
ciency ratings, in the order of
their Reduction Points.

2—Employees. with military
preference who have Fair effi-
ciency ratings, in the order of
their Reduction Points.

3—Employees without military
preference who have Good, or
better efficiency ratings, in the
order of their Reduction Points.

4—Employees with military
preference who have Good, or
better efficiency ratings, in the
order of their Reduction Points.

The new rules provide that
employees must get 30 days’
notice before they are released
when reduction in force becomes
necessary. Also, they provide
that employees released in vio-
lation of the procedure may ap-
peal to the Commission.

The rules go into effect at
once. However, they won't real-
ly become significant until after
the war,

The following questions and
answers are designed to help
employees understand how the
firings will work,

Q. Why are uniform reduc-
tion-in-force regulations being
issued at this particular time?

A. Employment conditions
change constantly; from time to
time changing conditions neces-
sitate a reduction in force.
These new regulations are be-
ing issued so that in future
reductions in force the best pos-
sible procedure will be available.

Q. Should Federal employees

seek other employment now j;,
order to avoid being caughi jy,
reduction in foree?

A. Emphatically, No! Th,
public interest requires tha,
every Government employee stoi,
to his job. In the few cases
where reductions in force are
necessary, due notice will he
given, and where it is not pos.
sible to place such employees jn
other Federal jobs, every effor,
will be made, through the U, 5
Employment Service, to place
them in private industry.

Q. Is the fact that regula.
tions are being Issued for rediic.
tions in force an indication that
the war will soon be over?

A. No! Reductions in force
are constantly necessary; there
is no connection whatever be.
tween the issuance of these regu.
lations and the end of the war,

Q. What are the main differ-
ences between the new proce-
dures and those now in effect?

A. There are four main dif-
ferences: (1) The new regula-
tions apply to all employees un-
der civil service rules, whereas _
prior regulations had a more lim-
ited application; (2) Emphasis is
now placed on both length of
service, and efficiency ratings;
(3) Thirty days’ notice is now
required instead of fifteen days’
notice, and = (4) Employees’
rights are more specifically de-
fined in the new regulations.

Q. Are, for example, employ-
ees in the Treasury Department
in competition with employees
in the War Department in the
event of a reduction in force .n
either department?

A. No. The competitive area
is restricted to operating organ-
izational units in local commut-
ing areas.

Q. Where employees can be
readily shifted between two sec-
tions of a bureau, and a reduc-
tion in force is necessary in one

Deferred U.S.

Employees

Face Reclassification

If you are now an employee
of Uncle Sam’s; and

If you are deferred from the
draft for occupational reasons;
and

If that deferment was ob-
tained other than through the
regular Federal channels now
set up for Federal employee de-
ferment (that is, if your draft
board gave you the deferment
on your own request or because
the draft board itself decided
your work was ntial); then

You are due for reclassifica-
tion,

National Selective Service
Headquarters has sent a mes-
sage to all State directors on
this subject,

Under present law, no Goy-
ernment employee is entitled to
occupational deferment unless
he is listed on a replacement
schedule approved by his State
Director of Selective Serv-
ice or his deferment is requested
by the employing agency in con-
formance with Public Law 23,
78th Congress, approved April 8,
1943, and Executive Order 9309,
of March 6, 1943.

This Executive Order provided
that a committee be created in
each Federal agency with power
to request occupational defer-
ments of employees in key posi-
tions. The request is subject to
approval by the Review Com-

mittee on Deferment of Federal
Employees. The order also pro-
vides that no Federal Govern-
ment employee may initiate a
request for his own deferment
on occupational grounds or ad-
vocate the making of such a re-
quest in his own behalf.

Law Provisions

Public Law 23 wrote into the
law the provisions of the Execu-
tive Order as it applied to the
executive branch of the Goy-
ernment and made provision for
similar committees on deferment
of Government employees in the
judicial and legislative branches,
It also provided that the Direc-
tor of Selective Service must
make monthly reports to Con-
gress showing the names and
Positions of persons deferred by
reason of their Federal employ-
ment.

Many Not Listed

Reports from local boards in-
dicate that a substantial per-
centage of the registrants de-
ferred because of employment
by the Federal Government are
not listed on replacement sched-
ules and their deferment has
not been requested in accord-
ance with the law. On the
basis of this information Selec-
tive Service Headquarters took
its action.

GUARDS
D.C. vs. N.Y.

Federal guards—the men in
the uniforms like police—who
protect Government buildings in
New York City are up in arms
against what they feel is dis-
crimination against them be-
cause they work in the New
York area.

In Washington, the guards get
the same salary as they do here,
$1,500 a year, but they get free
uniforms. The local men have
to buy their outfits.

Another point of dispute is
this: In Washington the guards
work under their own officers
and have uniform duties. Here
what the guard does depends
entirely on the administrator of
the building to which he hap-
pens to be assigned. In some
buildings they just stand around
like movie ushers. In _ others
their duties include checking the
goings and comings of employ-
ees and serving as timekeepers.
In still other buildings they are
expected to tour the rest-rooms
and~see that employees don't
loiter and smoke there,

‘Undermanned

The local staff is under-
manned, and the men, who work
out of headquarters in the Foley
Square Courthouse, complain
that they often have to put in
as many as 17 days before they
can get a day off, and that a
number of them have 60 and 70
days in annual leave which they
can't take.

Local guards, who work under
the Federal Works Agency, say
that a majority of them have
joined the American Federation
of Government Employees in an
effort to obtain at least the
same benefits as their Wash-
ington colleagues.

And they point with envy to
the Navy guards who perform
similar duties, receive $1,860 a
year and free uniforms.

Because of the fact that they
are constantly shifting around
from one building to another,
they rarely work in one place
long enough to get a chance for
a well-considered efficiency rat-
ing, and at present their civil

NAVY YARD GAZETTE

This is the ninth of The LEADER’S new column

for Navy Yard workers.

Suggestions, criticisms, and

letters from Navy Yard employees are welcome.

Tough Words From
Navy Yard Workers

Navy Yard Gazette has re-
ceived an interesting letter, As
a Navy Yard employee, you
should read it, and then let us
know what you think of the
views expressed.

“Dear Editor: One of the jokes
making the rounds of the Navy
Yard these days concerns the
painter who on his first “day
there asked his supervisor what
his duties were. ‘Here, take this,
replied the supervisor, handing
him a paint brush, and just
keep walking around the yard.’
Somewhat surprised at these or-
ders the painter nevertheless did
as he was told, After several
hours of walking he noticed that
he was being followed by a short,
dark, suspicious looking char-
acter who closely watched every
move he made. This kept up the
entire day and the next morning
the painter again reported ready
for work. ‘Just keep walking
around the yard, the supervisor
ordered, and don't lose that
brush!’ Off he went again, and
again he noticed that he was be-
ing followed by the same man.

“This kept up for several hours
until the painter, finally exas-
perated, turned to his follower
and exclaimed in an angry tone,
‘Listen you, you've been follow-
ing me long enough, now tell me
once and for all, what do you
want?’

“‘Me,’ replied the shadow tin
idly, ‘I don’t want anything. I'm
your helper!’

Many Such Stories

“In recent months many such
stories have been heard by the
public—and since the problem of
efficiency in the Navy Yards of
our country is extremely vital to
the final outcome of this war, I,
as a Navy Yard employee, am ex~-
tremely disturbed by the general

put.

“Too many workers in the
Yard are far from giving forth
their efforts, and consider their
jobs easy in comparison with
work in private industry, The
contractors in the Yard engaged
in repair, construction, paving,
etc. make the Government
worker look ‘sick’ by comparison
and look upon the Navy Yard
badge as something similar to
what the WPA insignia repre-
sented not so far back.

“If you could see the so-called
defense workers sprawled out on
the decks of our warships, fast
asleep for hours at a stretch. If
you could only go to the bottom
of a drydock where, resting be-
neath a giant man-o'-war, be-
tween rows of keel blocks, more
employee: were engaged in
peaceful slumber at rates from
$6.16 to $10.08 per day (not in-
cluding overtime) than in work.

“If you could watch the steady
stream of workers (?) on their
way to and from the lunch
booths at all hours of the day!

“And there are the times when,
because of Governmental red-
tape, it takes an entire day to
requisition a small tool or minor
part which should be obtainable
in a matter of minutes.

What War Means

“One reason for these condi-
tions is that the war and all its
horrible realities have not been
brought home to the employees.
How to explode a worker out of
his complacency and the false
sense of security, without actu-
ally dropping bombs upon him,
is a problem we might all well
stop to consider. The Navy Yard
worker is not a slacker at heart.
He is ready and anxious to do
his part if the intricate and over-
geared governmental hodge-
podge processes can be simpli-
fied and streamlined to meet
war-time conditions.

Red-Tape Necessary

“I'm not placing the blame for
these conditions on the employ-
ees any more than the employ-
ers, nor do I overlook the fact
that red-tape is a necessary part
of any organization that boasts
of a personnel so huge as that
of the Yard. What I do main-
tain is that production can and
should be increased. The
large number of persons em-
ployed there is capable of pro-
ducing to a far greater extent
than they have in the past, un-
der 4 management that demands
greater efficiency. I maintain
that the tremendous amounts of
red-tape surrounding every move
the worker makes, can, and
should be reduced to a minimum,

Ahead of Schedule

“The words, ‘ahead of sched-
ule’ are only relative because the
original schedule could have been
shortened in the first place.

“Of course, there are many
employees who put in a good
day's work to the best of their
ability and deserve nothing but
praise for their efforts — but
there are not enough of them,
Some come into the Yard full of
ambition and expecting to find
a constant productive activity
which the war effort warrants.
Dissillusionment comes swiftly to
many of these persons—as it
came to me—and it doesn’t take
long to fall in line with the
general attitude that when you
work for the Government you've

got to ‘take it easy.’ It's about
time that this tradition is
broken, and a good place to

break it is at the Navy Yard,”

Proposed New Civil Service Rules
Would Affect Every City Worker

A general revision of civil service rules, which would

affect every City employee

, is being undertaken by the

Municipal Civil Service Commission, which has sent a

copy of its proposed chan

ges to all department heads

with a request for their comment on the new proposals.

“A great deal of time and
effort has been put into this
tentative draft by the Commis-
sion and its, staff,” the letter
reads in part, “We realize that
it will be impossible to please
all who are concerned with the

operation of the law, but we
are anxious at the same time
to avail ourselves of construc-

tive criticism from any source.”

Words Are Important
One of the first problems
taken up in the new ruling is
a technical point which has
been the groundwork for court
cases and much confusion in
the past. The difference between

“publication,” and “promulga~
tion” of a list has finally been
settled. Now the rule book
promulgation"—The es-
ment of a completed

e list as in force and ef-

“Publication’—The  re-
lease or announcement of a
completed eligible list by the
Commission without promulga-
tion.”

On Promotions

Another question which has
been the cause of controversy
in civil service circles is this:
“How long should a_ person
serve in @ position before be-
ing eligible to take a promo-
tional examination?”

Here's what the Commission
proposes as the answer:

‘Except in the case of the
Police and Fire services, in or-

der to be eligible to enter a
promotion examination, a per-
son must have been employ

for a period of not less
than six months in the depart-
ment, and not less than one
year in a position . which
would naturally and properly
tend to qualify him to perform
the duties for which the pro-
motion examination is to be
held

for a period of not less than
six months immediately preced-
ing the examination in the de-
partment is suspended for the
duration of the war emergency.”

Seniority and Record

Also, seniority and record will
have a value of 50 percent of
any promotion examination.
The former regulation provided
that not less than 50 percent
credit could be given for these
factors.

‘The Director of Examinations
of the Commission will have
more latitude in setting passing
grades for City examinations.
Former requirements set mini-
mum grades at 50 percent, and
@ general average of 70. Now
the Director of Examinations
can fix grades according to the
needs of the service and the
requirements of the position.

“Manifest Error”

The period of time in which
appeals by candidates on City
examinations may be filed on
grounds of “manifest error’ on
the part of the Commission has
been lowered from sixty days
to one month, This will e1
able the Commission to get its
examinations cleared up in less
time, and get the lists out that
much sooner.

Veterans

Disabled veterans get a break
in the new setup. The rules
now read, “Where the names
of disabled veterans are certi-
fied, they shall have absolute
preference for appointment.”
Speaking of them, the old sec:
tion merely provided that di:
abled veterans were to get pref-

erence “unless objection shall
be made and sustained by the
Commission.”

Formerly, a person offered a
City job could refuse it on the
grounds that the work was ob-
jectionable only if the work
were in a hospital or morgue.
Now the Commission .will con-
sider other reasons for refusing
position as “objectionable”
without causing the loss of
one's place on the list.

Work for Out-of-Towners

‘The Commission will also re-
ceive broader scope in hiring
professional services or em-
ployees who work outside the
City. The restriction of $750 as
the maximum which could be
paid to such persons in a year
has been dropped from the
rules, as is the necessity for ap-
proval by the Mayor and the
State Civil Service Commission
to extend their services beyond
one year

Rating Appeals

The efficiency rating setup
within the Commission provides
for a personnel board which
may include among its mem-
bers representatives of the em-
ployees. But appeals from this
board would be decided by an
impartial board which would
not number any employee of
the City in its membership.
This board's decisions would be
final.

Seniority credit for time in
the armed services would be al-
lowed to members of the Po-
lice and Fire services in the
“first successful promotion ex-
amination taken by the candi-
date.”

The Commission expects to
hold conferences with Commis-
sioners of the City departments
during August, and make fur-
ther changes in its proposed
new set of rules.

, In the City Departments

LAW DEPT.
Big Raises

Some people in the Law De-
partment of the City will be
paying a lot more income tax
this year than they did in "42.

By a process known as “modi-
fying budget lines,” it is pos-
sible to get raises for employee
and the boosts in the Law De-
partment listed below have been
made retroactive to July 1

John E, Egan, Assistant Coun-
sel for the Board of Water Sup-
ply has been raised to *6,000, an
increase of $750.

Vincent G. Connelley, in a
similar position, has been in-
creased to $4,500, a $500 jump
over his earnings last year.

William S. Lebwohl, Associate
Assistant Corporation Counsel
has been raised to $6,000, rep-
resenting an additional $1,000
@ year in salary.

Bringing up the bottom of the
department's list of raises are
Alfred May at $3,500, whose job
as managing clerk is worth $200

a year more than it was; and
Charles G. Kirchoff, J: Law
Assistant, whose $120 increase

brings him to $3,720.

“to reward the men for the long

WELFARE
Trend Away

Latest trend in Welfare De-
partment is away from the main
office at 902 Broadway.

After long negotiations with
the State Department of Social
Welfare, the central files on the
twelfth floor are being split up,
and cases divided among the
Welfare Centers.

Formerly, Aid to Dependent
Children, Blind and Old Age
Assistance cases had to follow a
tortuous course back and forth
from the branches to the main
office, and then back again.

Now each case is handled
completely from the Welfare
Centers. About 40 people, main-
ly elerks, are being shifted out
to the district offices with the
files, and some of the W.C.’s
will have to add a few to their
staffs to carry the new work.

And this change will make the

lives of the investigators and
case supervisors quite a bit
easier. There won't be so many

frantic phone calls asking Cen-
tral Office to dig cards out of
the files, and cases will be
hancled more quickly

From the Staff

Several weeks ago the admin-
istration and union representa-
tives got together to hold a quiet
little meeting in Welfare to
decide how to divide up credit
for $15,000 which was raised in
the department for the United
War Relief.

As The LEADER reported at
the time, the meeting dissolved

when it was suggested that the
different organizations produce
their membership rolls and split
credit accordingly.

-tow, it has been learned that
the whole controversy has been
settled logically. The contribu-
tion was sent in from “the staff
of the Welfare Department.”

Harlem Wins

Mrs. Edith Alexander, staff
relations director of the Welfare
Department, headed a group of
the agency's Negro employees
who went up into Harlem last
week at the Mayor's request to
help calm the people there after
the disturbances.

“The whole event, though evil
in itself, shows what can be
done in the utilization of the
resources within the communi-
ty,” said Mrs. Alexander proud-
ly, in discussing the role of
Harlem's citizenry in quelling
the disturbance.

Contest

The 17th and 19th floors ‘in
Welfare headquarters, are in the
throes of a photographic con-
test. Photos of members of the
staff taken when they were
under seven years old are pasted
on the bulletin board.

The one who is chosen as the
“Used to be the prettiest baby”
gets a valuable prize. And there
is a guessing contest in connec-
tion with the photos. The per-
son who identifies the greatest
number of his co-workers from
their juvenile portraits is also
rewarded.

The modest entry fees go to
swell the coffers of the United
War Relief Pund.

HEALTH
50c for Docs

The City Budget Office has
announced that physicians who
work for the Health Department
on 1 fee basis will receive $5.50
a session, instead of the former
$5 payment.

Hospitals Department, to
whom this item is news, in-
tends to ask the Budget Bureau
to take similar action to in-
crease the payments to its doc-
tors who work on the same
basis.

Zimand's $6,500

The Department of Health
has requested the Budget Bu-
reau to approve an increase in
the salary of Savel Zimand from
$5,000 to $6.500.

Listed in the little City Green
Book as “administrative assist-
ant,” and on the board at the
Helth Offices as “Acting Di-
rector, Bureau of Health Edu-
cation,” Mr. Zimand's appoint-
ment had caused considerable
criticism.

It has been charged that his
appointment had been made
without due regards for civil
service procedure, and that the
position was one which should
have been filled by a registered
physician. His predecessor was
Dr. Charles Bolduan, a phy-
sician,

THE BOROUGHS
Solving Problems

The Army has recently 1e-
vealed that a former City ciyi)
engineer handled the unusia)
job of building a post office on
Guadalcanal.

A platoon of troops and a few
natives made up the construc-

tion crew. Coconut logs, sa
lings and bamboo, bound

gether with yines, and roofed
with palm leaves, were the

building materials.

Lieuttenant John T, Carroil

years before enlisting in the

For her duties, the cleaning
woman receives $940 a year
Until last month, she received
$860 a year, but she got an $0
raise, which means about $1.54
a week more than she used \
earn. Her total weekly pay is
slightly under $20.

The minimum for other Cily

employees is $1,200 a year
“But,” explain officials, “since
Mary Jones works part-time,

isn’* entitled to privileges which
are due other employees.”
Here are some of the priv-

~fleges she isn’t entitled to:

There is absolutely no chance

She is not in line for any pay

many years on the job.

‘Transportation

Coming to work during the
early morning hours, many of
the women are met with a trans-
portation preblem that actually
means their work-week is mucli
longer than 30 hours. Since the
subways and bus schedules are

not a few of the women must

Typical American Soldier

What is the typical American soldier like?

The answer to this question is interesting in itself;
but the Army, in forming a picture of the composite sol-
dier, did so for a very practical reason. By building up
a portrait of the “average” man in uniform, the Army
is learning what the soldier wants, what he gripes about,
his preferences in information and entertainment. ~

As compiled by the Special Service Division’s Re-
search Branch, here are some interesting facts about the

boys in the Army:

Half of them are under 25 years of age; less than

one in five has reached 30.

Two out of every three are single.

They constitute the best-educated Army

in the

world. Two out of every three have been to high school;

more than one of every

8 has been to college.

Com-

pare this to the 1917-18 Army, in which four-fifths of

the men had never gone beyond grammar school.
Nevertheless, despite the high degree of education,

most of the men are poorly informed about current

events.

In a typical four-week period, one out of every two
men will attend church at least once.

Most of the soldiers don’t drink, and of those who
do, the majority sticks to beer.

Movies is the favorite type of organized entertain-

ment.

Writing letters home is one of the most frequent

Most officers believe that a good, healthy soldier
should have plenty of gripes.
The men do not think of themselves as professional

soldiers.

They want to get the war over with as soon as

possible, and go back home and to a job.
The Research Branch studied these gripes, separat-
ing those which seemed to have a solid basis in fact from

others which were being spread mainly by “gold-
brickers” and “soreheads.” It was found that some of
the most cherished gripes concerned themselves with food.
Yet, when the men were asked directly what they thought
of their food, four-fifths of them had to admit it was
good, served to them hot and fresh, and that they usually
got all they wanted to eat. The main gripe was that the
food could be prepared more skillfully; and the men
would prefer that “rabbit food,”

such as beans and po-

tatoes, might be replaced with more steaks and beef.
The men generally rate their medical and dental

care as

good

As for clothing, two out of five complained that their

pants didn’t fit; one out of eight griped about the fit of

his shoes. Since these facts

became known, it has been

made possible for an enlisted man to have his pants al-

tered without charge.

PARKS
For More Pay

Two new bills have been in-

those of other City workers.

The new bills, if passed by the
Council and Board of Estimate.
and approved by the Mayor, will

They will then come under the
provisions of the McCarthy In-

The Parks Unit of the State,

of America, CIO, sponsored the
measures, which were  intro-
duced by Council members Doris
I, Byrne, of the Bronx, and Wil-
liam A .Carroll, of Manhattan.

The ~bills are now in the
hands of the Council's Com-
mittee on Civil Employees—a
place where many pieces of
legislation have languished until
they died a slow death.

HOSPITALS
See the Mayor!

The Hospital Department is
still having trouble with its em-
ployees who want their releases
to transfer to better-paying jobs.

All requests for releases are
now being answered by a form
letter which suggests writing to
the Mayor, or taking a 30-day
vacation before changing jobs.

Here is the text of the form
letter, signed by Edward M.
Bernecker, Commissioner:

“I regret that inasmuch as it
is against our policy to release
any permanently-appointed em-
ployees of the Department of
Hospitals, your request for a
Certificate of Availability must
be denied. Under Wage and
Job-Control Regulations, issued
recently by the Chairman of the
War - Manpower Commission,
hospital employees are consid-
ered frozen to their positions.
We are now operating with more
than 3,000 vacant positions, and
unless some restrictive measures
are taken to hold our employees
in the face of wartime employ-
ment conditions, we simply will
not be able to stop the exodus
of employees from the service.

“You will agree that it is most
essential, especially in wartime,
that we continue to protect the
health of civilians on the home
front. We feel, therefore, that
we are not unreasonable in ask-
ing our employees to sacrifice
the opportunity for greater com-
pensation, in order that we may
have the benefit of their con-
tinued participation in the oper-
ation of New York City's mu-
nicipal hospitals

“Under the War Manpower
Commission’s rules, an employee
may obtain another position
without having to show a Cer-
tificate of Availability, if he has
allowed a thirty-day period to
elapse between the time of his
resignation and the time he
undertakes other employment.
At the same time, the War Man-
Power Commissioner has dele-
gated to the Mayor of the City
of New York the power to con-
sider appeals from rulings of
City departments. If, therefore,
you desire to appeal from my
ruling in the matter, you may
Submit such an appeal in writ-
ing to Mayor F. H. LaGuardia,
City Hall, New York City.”

SANITATION

It's Pleasant

With new office employees
coming into the Department of
Sanitation, Harry R, Langdon,
administrator of the Bureau of
Finance and Supply, has engaged
in what he calls a program “to
make their work as pleasant as
Possible,”

In order to familiarize new
workers with all functions of the
department, they will be shifted
around from unit to unit so that
they will have a broader view of
departmental activities.

And to give them an oppor-

tunity to study up on the varied
fields which the agency covers,
in-training lectures which were
given in the past have beer
printed and are avatlable to the
employees.

Employee discipline, street
cleaning operations, sanitary ed-

ucation, land-fills, accounting
procedure and one pamphiet
called “diversified activities”

have been prepared

Job Switch

A switch in jobs between Leo
B, Farley, who was receiving $4.-
500, and John J. Donnelley, at

For the Boys

The Department of Sanitation
is about to enter the publishing
business with a monthly news
letter which will be sent to all
its men in service.

‘The new publication will bring
the men in service news about
each other, and what's happen-
ing around 125 Worth Street and
in the branch offices.

THE COURTS
Skipping Names

On July 7, the Municipal Civil
Service Commission certified six
names from the promotion list
for junior accountant to the
Domestic Relations Court, when
there were three vacancies. The
appointing officer, Adolphus Re-
gan, selected the first person on
the list (No. 2), skipped the
following three names and se-
lected the last two. The selec-
tion was made with the author-
ization of the Director of the
Budget. The Civil Service Com-
mission, however, has refused to

pass the payroll, since three
mames were passed over. One
of the men whose name was

skipped over has revealed that
he and the other two have been
asked to sign a waiver.

Names as they were submitted
for certification follow:

*2, Schmuckler, Meyer 87.050
Goldstein, Morris 85,675
Deutsch, Leo 85.125
Friedman, Emil 84,750
Tatar, Henry 83.975
Wolf, Henry 82.500

*—Were appointed.

Asked whether he could ex-
plain this situation, Mr. Regan
described the affair thus:

“It's all clear as mud.” “It's
got something to do with mili-
tary leaves, or something,” he
added. “And there's no one
around here who can tell you
any more about this than I can.”

“Besides,” he finally said,
“Nothing has happened yet. I
don't know anything about any
waivers.”

Civil Service Version

But the Civil Service Commis-
sion which refused to pass the
payroll has a different version.

On the grounds that the Court
had violated the one-out-of-
three law in making the ap-
pointments, the Certification Bu-
reau of the Commission refused

And when one of the men on

Unless the promotions are

Commission.

FIRE
New Chiefts
Chances are there will be

seven new Battalion Chiefs in
the Fire Department after Aug.
23. There are seven men stilt
on the list for promotion to this

job, The list came out Aug. 23,
1939, and if the appointments
aren't made by the 23rd of the
month, then the list will have
expired.

Since last May, the depart-
ment has been asking the

Budget Office to appoint these
men to the battalion rank, and
from all indications approval
will be forthcoming before the
deadline,

At present there are 14 vae
cancies in the position.
The Municipal Civil Service

Commission is in the process of
preparing another examination
for Fire Captains who are seeke
ing promotion to the higher
Post, but has not yet announced
any date for the test,

UNIONS
And Politics

The recent formation of a
non-partisan organization of
civil service employees for con~
certed political action doesn’t
mean that all City employees
can join up and become active
ward-heelers,

The State Department of So-
cial Welfare has advised the
City Welfare Department that
State funds can't be used to pay
the salary of any employee who

engages in political activity.
Likewise, employees of the
different authorities around

town, some of whose pay comes
from Federal funds, can’t join
because of the Federal Hatch
Act.

And a provision of the City
Charter restricts political acttv-
ity of uniformed police and fire-
men,

Navy Yard
Safety Campaign
To Begin

A direct representative of the
Secretary of the Navy is due
here any day now to conduct an
intensified safety campaign at
the yard, Considering the fact
that accident rates are increas-
ing every month, there certainly
is a need for such action. If
you have any ideas to make
your job a safer one it’s your
duty to drop it into the sugges-
tion box in your shop at once,
You may be saving someone's life
by doing it. Leading in accidents
are foot injuries (mostly broken
toes which safety shoes would
have prevented). Next is hand
injuries and third comes slip-
ping and falling. Eye injuries
are still occurring too frequently
because workers still don’t realize
the importance of wearing safety
glasses. Incidentally the navy
department has 65,000 pairs of
glasses ordered but are only get-
ting them 1,000 at a time. Of
these most go for replacements.
Safety equipment is being ob-
tained for your welfare as fast
as it is humanly possible
but please remember that
the yard has expanded to a re-
markable degree since the begin-
ning of the war, and considering
everything the amount of the
safety equipment and accident
preventatives so far installed is
an excellent showing, Mean-
while some safety engineers have
taken a new approach toward
their work, They are now
interviewing the workers per-
sonally from laborer up instead
of just talking to ‘snappers and
supervisors. Those engineers are
the ones who are getting real
ideas. The others could very
well follow suit.

You Can Help Manufacture
Telephone Equipment

A large, well-known war plant, part of an organiza-
tion which in peacetime makes telephone equipment for
the Bell System, but which is now engaged in manufac-
turing vital communications equipment for the Armed
Forces, can place a large number of women who have
the ability to learn to asemble small parts. There are
also many jobs open for draft-deferred men in good

physical condition.

No previous experience is nec-
essary for most of the openings
at this plant as tests are given
to discover your aptitudes and
training classes are conducted
for all jobs. Age is not neces-
sarily a factor although good
health is important as applicants
must pass a rigid medical test.

It’s In Jersey

The name of this plant is the
Western Electric Kearny Works.
it is situated in South Kearny,
New Jersey, and may be reached
by residents of Manhattan, the
Bronx and Brooklyn by*means
of the Hudson and Manhattan
Tubes to Journal Square, Jersey

City, from where buses and trol-
leys run direct to the plant. An
alternate, and faster, route is the
Central Railroad of New Jersey
from the foot of Liberty Street,
New York, The Kearny station
of the C. R.R, of N. J. is only
a short distance from the gates
of the plant.

ApBlications cannot be ac-
cepted from men or women now
engaged in war work but those
who are not now in essential in-
dustries are needed badly. The
employment office at 100 Central
Avenue, Kearny, New Jersey is
open from 8:30 to 5, Mondays
through Saturdays.

THE JOB

MARKET

By MRS. MATILDA B. MILLER

The Job Market 1s designed to
help readers and jobs get to-
gether. The positions listed are
gathered from advertisements
of all the newspapers, periodi-
cals and communication with
personnel managers. These
jobs are analyzed and arranged
in categories which will be
most helpful as a basis for se-
lection, However, it is wise to
read the entire column rather
than limit yourself to any one
item.

It is impossible to investigate
thoroughly each position nor is
it always possible to foretell how
soon they may be filled. We
suggest that you mention The
LEADER when you apply for
any of these positions.

section, would employees in the
other section be brought into
competition with employees in
the first section for reduction-
in-force purposes?

A. Yes, In this case the two
sections are not sufficiently dis-
tinct to constitute separate or-
ganizational units for reduction-
in-force purposes,

Q. Is military preference a
factor in reduction in force?

A’ Yes. The law requires
that in the event of reductions
in force, honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors with effi-
ciency ratings of “Good” or bet-
ter shall be retained in prefer-
ence to other employees. Regu-
lations also provide that honor-
ably discharged soldiers and sail-
ors whose efficiency ratings are
not “Good” shall, be preferred
over non-veterans with equal or
lower efficiency ratings. Military
preference—and, therefore, pref-
erence in reduction in force—ts
also accorded widows of veterans
and wives of disabled veterans
who cannot qualify for Federal
employment.

Q. What effect will a reduc-
tion in force have on the rights
of persons in the military serv-
ice to restoration to their former
positions upon the termination
of their military service?

A. Nothing in the new regu-
lations can be construed to im-
pair the rights of any former
employee now in the military
service to restoration to his for-
mer position upon the termina-
tion of such military service.

Q. What protection is given
to permanent employees in re-
ductions in force?

A. Permanent employees with
a classified (competitive) civil
service status are preferred over
employees with all other types of
appointments for retention dur-
ing a reduction in force, subject
to veterans’ preference.

Q. Is any protection given to
a civil service employee with a
classified (competitive) status
who was recently reinstated un-~
der a war-service trial period
appointment?

A. Yes, A former employee
with a classified (competitive)
civil service status who is re-
instated in a war-service ap-
pointment is in the same class as
permanent employees for reduc-
tion-in-force purposes. However,
this does not affect the right of
the employing agency to termi-
nate his services during the trial
period if his work is not fully
satisfactory,

Q. Is seniority a factor in a
reduction in force?

A. Yes. Length of Govern-
ment service is one of the pri-
mary factors to be considered in
making reductions in force.

Q. If one employee has had
longer Federal Government serv-
ice, but another has had longer
service in his present assignment,
which would have the right of
seniority?

A. Seniority

is based upon
total Federal service; the em-
ployee with the greater total
service in the Federal Govern-
ment would have seniority in
this case. .

Q. What weight is given to
efficiency ratings in reductions
in fore!

A, Subject to military pref-
erence rules, employees with
higher efficiency ratings must be
retained over those with lower
efficiency ratings, provided their
periods of service are equal. A
“Very Good” employee and an
“Excellent” employee have an
advantage over a “Good” em-
ployee caual to 16 years of
seniority,

Brilliance Is Needed,
But Dullness Reigns

OLLOWING upon the threat to bring back the 12-
hour working day for firemen, the City’s patrolmen
have now gone on to what is known as the “9-

squad” chart. This means they put in a longer working-

week — about 57 hours. The establishment of the new
schedule is the result of emergency—the Harlem riots.

But there is no word to the effect that the 9-squad chart

is to be removed now that the emergency has passed.
What the new schedule does is to provide more man-

power-hours for the Police Department, now so badly
undermanned. It is still another event indicating how
serious is the manpower problem in City departments—
and how poorly it has been attacked by the administra-
tion. The City just can't find cops! It can’t find em-
ployees in plenty of other categories either. But the
Federal Government has been able to find personnel.
Private industry has been able to find personnel.

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE?

Has the City examined and exhausted all possible
sources of manpower?

Has the City considered the possibility of re-training
and up-grading its own employees to perform more nec-
essary jobs?

Has the City fully utilized the services of women in
postions formerly not open to them? Has it delved into
the many job-titles to see which of them now being per-
formed by men could be performed by women?

Has the City invented better ways of performing
the current tasks in the various departments, stream-
jined governmental operations to the utmost, pooled re-
sources and personnel, eliminated “detail” positions with-
out regard to political factors?

Has the City considered the possibilities of part-time
work?

Has the fullest educational job been done to show
the residents of NYC the value of a career in City gov-
ernment service? Has a full-fledged “public relations”
campaign been undertaken to make men and women
eager to accept City work, even if just for the duration?
Have the available opportunities been fully publicized?

Has any thought been given to new incentives for
employees—faster promotion, payment for fruitful ideas,
honor for distinguished service on the home front, im-
proved vacation and leave policies?

Has the City sought to improve working conditions
so that entrance into the service appears more desirable
than work in private industry?

Has the City been prepared to offer increased sal-
aries, higher increments, overtime, to make work less
of a personal hardship on the employee?

‘THE ANSWER IS NO!

The answer to each of these questions is No!

The only thing that has been outstanding in the
City’s handling of its own labor situation—is lack of
imagination!

The City itself suffers, because its work doesn’t get
done. The present employee suffers because the whole
burden of the City’s muddled manpower policy finally
falls on his neck—low pay, more work, increased hours.
_ It will be recorded in New York’s history, that in
time of war when brilliance, ingenuity, and courage
should have guided the personnel scene, only dullness
and timidity sat behind the desks.

Here's a tip for potential
drajtees: The Navy needs liter-
ally “thotisands” of new officers.
If the Naval Officer Procurement
station in your area says it isn’t
in the market, you might wisely
look elsewhere. Required are
general service officers, men with
administrative experience for
supply officer jobs, . . . Internal
Revenue Collector Joseph Hig-
gins reputedly Tammany leader
Mike Kennedy's candidate for
the lieutenant governor's spot (if
there's an election), actually has
his eve on City Court Chief Judge
John Byrnes’ job if Byrnes is
elevated to the Supreme Court
. +. Wendell Wilkie’s friends
buzz-buzz that he hints he'll be
more jubiliant than the Demo-
crats if there's an election for
lieutenant governor. A Demo-
cratic lieutenant governor will be
his card for the New York dele-
gation's support in 1944 ., . One
man who can't be discounted for
the Demo nomination for the
second State spot if he wants it
is Senate minority leader John
Dunnigan.

. . «Commissioner Valéntine
would be rudely shocked if he
knew the name of one man who
was caught—and quietly released
—in that big Long Beach gam-
bling raid. . . . That raid, in a
mansion, didn't stop a hundred
smaller houses from operating.
They're mainly private spots,
with the proprietor taking a large
cut for use of the place.

A well-known police official
may soon be organizing for one

sioners unmercifully. . . . Many

Comings and

Merit Men

SEWERS, Highway Permits,
Sidewalk Violations, Excavations
and Vaults, may not sound very
exciting, but genial James J.
Maloney, in charge of this of-
fice at the Borough President of
Manhattan's Office seems to get
a big kick out of his job.

Hes had a long career with
the City, started back around
1908, and a common pun around
the office is that he’s deep in
his work, which is vaults.

He probably knows more about
the underground of New York
City than any other man. And
the fact that building owners
have decided that the empty
space underneath tHe sidewalks
can be useful has produced some
funny complications.

Underground Building

When people begin building
under sidewalks, the City takes
an interest in the matter, and
collects a fee based on the
amount of space which is used.

The fee isn’t very much per
cubic foot, and it only has to
be paid once for the life of the
building, but that’s where the
complications set in,

A lot of buildings in New York
City aren't new, and they're al-
ways being bought and sold.
Quite often, a man gets all set
to buy a piece of property and
then finds out that no one has
ever paid the City its fee for
building the underground vault.
Then the excitement between
the buyer and seller begins over
who should pay the costs, and
Mr. Maloney often sits there
with his pen in one hand and a
receipt blank in the other wait-
ing for them to decide.

Records of the office go all
the way back to 1798, and many
of the old buildings in lower
Manhattan had the vaults dug
way back then and their pur-
chasers needn't worry. But a
WPA survey a few years ago
discovered about $700,000 worth
of vault fees which had never
been paid and the City sent out
bills, Over half the money was

I-e’s Deep
In Vaults

paid in, and this WPA project
certainly earned its keep.

Evictions

Another duty of the office

which has caused complications
in this: Under sidewalk obstruc-
tions come such things as evict-
ed furniture and store contents
which end up on the street.
* A B.PM. truck picks up this
material and brings it over to a
City Yard on Madison Street,
The owner can reclaim it with-
in thirty days by paying a one
dollar fee, But often people
come in full of indignation
claiming that they were waiting
for their moving van to come
along, when the City truck won
the race and picked up the
stuff, Mr, Maloney doesn’t ad-
vise anyone to leave his furni-
ture around and wait for the
City to pick up and store it for
him. It seems that the yard
hasn't all the conveniences of
the better ¢lass storage plants,
and things kept there don’t usu-
ally improve

Sidewalks and curbings are
another source of trouble. Prop-
erty owners often neglect notices
to repair the walk in front of
their buildings, then the City
has to do it and add the charge
on to the tax bill. Some prop-
erty owners shop around and fi-
nally decide that the City won't
be any more costly than a pri-
vate contractor, so they wait
till the crew gets around to
tackling the job. And with the
present difficulty in getting la-
bor and materials, the sidewalk
situation is far from good. ,

Mr. Maloney is a civil engineer
and a surveyor, which comes in
mighty handy on his job, and
he has one hobby that takes a
lot of his time. It is photog-
raphy, and he's probably one of
the best camera men in the
City. In fact, one portrait study
of the Mayor has a place of
honor in the Mayoral Office.
At home he has a large photo-
graphic lab, and he has done
photo work for the City, But
he hates to have his own picture
taken, His wife has been after
him for a long time to get a
picture to adorn the family
mantlepiece.

U. S. Fire-fighters

To NYC Firemen

Sirs: Reading the editorial,
“They Sure Messed It Up,” we
were interested to learn that the
New York City firemen might
have to work a 12-hour day. We
as Federal fire-fighters hope
they will be able to continue
their 8-hour day. .

It might be interesting to know
that a group of Federal fire-
fighters assigned to a large Army
Post in the New York vicinity
works 24 hours on and 24 hours
off, which totals 72 hours the
first week, and the following
week we work 96 hours,

Junior fire-fighters receive
$1,980 per year. Fire-fighters
receive $2,160. Of this, $300 per
year extra is for “overtime.”
Out of our salaries come all de-

ductions for income tax, pension
and bonds.

In other Army posts Federal
fire-fighters only work an 8-hour
day with the provision of time-
and-a-half for overtime. We
cannot figure out why one Post
works an 8-hour day and an-
other Post requires a 24-hour
day.

Veteran Objects
To Discharge Records
Sirs: As a civil service em-
ployee and veteran of World
War I. I am more than casu-
ally interested in correcting an
alleged obnoxious practice said
to be prevalent in our armed
forces. namely the Army prac-
tice, claiming that service men
about to be discharged are suf-

fering with ailments existing
prior to enlistment,

In connection with this al-
Jeged practice, many men have
been discharged as neuro-psy-
chiatric cases, supposedly exist-
ing prior to enlistment. In
many of these cases no trace
of the condition ever existed in
the family or in the servicemen

POLICE CALLS

What the 9-Squad
Chart Means

Well, the 9-squad chart is now
in effect.

That chart hits only the pa-
trol precincts, It’s a 2-day
chart. The men work 8 hours,
pave 16 hours off. Every 9th
day they swing over to another
tour, This means: Suppose you
get off today at 4 p.m.; instead
of coming on tomorrow morning
at 8 a.m. you'd go on tonight at
midnight. It means you'll lose
plenty sleep every 9th day.

It adds up, as we figure it, to
a 57-hour week, a lot higher than
anybody works today in private
industry.

Under the lit@e word “emer-
gency,” the 9-squad chart can be
established at any time. No-
body will say how long the in-
creased working schedule will
Jast.

But emergency or no, this is
another monument—there have
been several—to the poor han-
dling of the manpower situation
by the administration. Certain-
ly the attempt to fill the ranks
of the police force has been a
dismal flop.

Notes on the
Harlem Raid

The handling of the Harlem
situation by the policemen was
praised by everyone who knew
how well their work was done.
This praise was deserved by
every policemen out on the Har-
lem streets during the raid. It
was hardly deserved by the gold
braid that literally hung around
the 123rd Street Station-House
looking at each other with
frightened expressions wonder-
ing what they ought to be do-
ing. What they did do was keep
bowing to the Mayor, who also
spent part of the night at the
Precinct. When the Commission-
er said to the Mayor, “You'll
never stop it this way,” La-
Guardia just looked at the Com-
missioner and walked away from
him,

It is not quite proper to say that
the plundering “was stopped.”
Nobody really stopped it. It
Just spent itself, It was fortun-
ate that the plundering began so
late at night and that the day
was Sunday instead of Saturday.
If it had begun several hours
earlier when the streets were
more crowded and when it would
have had additional time to gain
momentum, the damage and cas-
ualties might have been much

greater. If it had begun on Sat-
urday it might have continued
all day Sunday. As it was, Mon-
day found most of Harlém back
at work.

oe ce, re

For a couple of months there
have been innumerable confer-
ences among the brains of the
Police Department to plan for
this expected outburst. When it
finally came, the result of all
these conferences seems to have
been nothing more than a plan
to mobilize the police force at the
scene of the outbreak. It was
evidently believed that the sheer
number of policemen would be
sufficient to cope with any prob-
lem. Nobody thought of plan-
ning what the cops were to do
once they got there.

Even the mobilization of the
force did not occur without
numerous hitches. Orders, re-
visions, and counter-orders fol-
lowed one upon the other as
though the Police Department
lacked a central direction and as
though the normal tug-of-war
between influences in the De-
partment was still going on de-
spite the critical situation.

6,000 policemen were poured
into Harlem to meet the situa-
tion. Outside of a handful—as-
signed to the Emergency Service
Squads—very few had ever re-
ceived any training or instruc-
tion in the handling of disorder-
ly crowds or mobs. The men on
the force nevertheless turned in
an admirable performance.

Looters who were picked up
on the streets by officers with
loot in their possession were
booked for burglary, even though
the ownership of the property
was not ascertained This pro-
cedure kept th officer imniobii-
ized in the station-house for
hours’ while his prisoner was be-
ing booked. Multiply such in-
cidents by hundreds and you
have a small force tied up by the
red tape of normal procedure
during an abnormal time.

A story going the rounds is
that of one of the mucky-mucks
sending out a Sergeant with a
detail of six patrolmen during
the height of the disorders. He
assigned the detail to an area of
six blocks on a busy thorough-
fare and added as an unneces-
sary afterthought — “Spread
them out thin.” The Sergeant
with more brains and guts than
this much-braided gentleman,
disobeyed the orders and used
his detail as a raiding squad.

Lists Come Faster
Than They Used to

ALBANY.—It took more than
two months to process and com-
plete competitive examinations
held last year and finished this
year, according to figures com-
piled by the Civil Service De-
partment. But the time was cut
to 26.6 days for exams conduct-
ed and completed during the
first three months of this year
as against an average of 46 days

for all exams held and processed
last year.

During the first three months
of this year, 17 exams held last
year were finished this year; 13
were initiated and completed in
the first quarter (1943); 22 have
been held and not completed;
and requests for 48 examinations
were still hanging fire when the
report was issued a few days
ago.

From date held, the average
elapsed time until the exam was
completed and posted was 32.8
days for the last quarter of last
year; 63.5 days for exams held
lagt year, completed this year;
and 26.6 days for exams held
and completed from January 1
to March 31, 1943

Here is a summary of all ex-
aminations of every character
held by the State Commission
last year: number held, 599;
number of candidates,
State and county competitive,
212 exams with 28,830 candi-
dates; State and county promo-
tion, 225 with 4,103 candidates;
municipal, 127 competitive with
1,041 candidates and 35 promo-
tion with 180 candidates,

MENTAL
HYGIENE
Titles and Pay

ALBANY.—Work is progress-
ing in the State Budget Division
on the classification of titles and
grades of positions affecting 15,-
000 to 21,000 employees in insti-
tutions under management of
the Mental Hygiene Department.

Under a special legislature act,
the job is supposed to be com-
pleted and in effect by October
1 of this year. The employees
have received two $100 incre-
ments in the last couple of years
as temporary stop-gaps pending
the up-grading of titles and sal-
ary schedules. Even these raises,
which have brought the average
wage to $1,200 a year (less de-
ductions for maintenance), have
failed to stop the departure of
thousands of attendants and
others who have gone into mili-
tary or war industry services.

Want $1,320 to $1,700

The drive in behalf of the em-
ployees is to put the bulk of po-
sitions into grades paying from
$1,300 to $1,700 a year, but of-
ficers of the State Association of
Civil Service Employees are wary
lest maintenance values be es-
tablished at a figure that would
be burdensome, despite potential
salary increases,

“We are hopeful that our long
campaign, over the last several
years, to extend Feld-Hamilton
benefits to Mental Hygiene em-
ployees will be an actuality by
October 1,” said Harold J. Fisher,
president of the Association. “It
is not fair that a large segment
of the state’s employees be de-
prived of these benefits.”

BILLS
3 New Ones

Three bills affecting City em-
ployees were introduced into
the Council at its meeting last
week. x

The bills provide as follows.

1, An employee of the City
who suffers any physical dis-
ability while on military duty.
will not be disqualified from
obtaining his former job-rights
with the City. At the same
salary to which he is entitled,
he would receive a job which is
within the limit of his physical
abilities.

2. Would require the City to
pay contributions of City em-
ployees who are on military
leave to the pension fund.

3. Would provide on January
1, 1944, for a 15 percent wage
increase to all City employees
who are earning less than $5,-
000 a year, either on a per an-
num, or a per diem basis. This
would also include prevailing
wage workers.

These bills were referred to

the Council's Committee on
Civil Employees.
The bills, sponsored by the

State, County and Municipal
Workers of America, were in-
troduced by Council members,
William Carroll and Doris I.

By ARTHUR LIEBERS

HEARD AROUND 346... .

The present turn-over rate in
Vets is about 2 percent a month.
This means that by the end of
the year, one-fourth of your
friends won't be working here

any more ... if the same trend
continues. It’s our hunch it
won't.

A few weeks ago, two girls
walked over to one of the guards
in the hall and said that a man
had been following them from
the subway and right into the
building. . . . It finally turned
out that he was only a harmless
crackpot, BUT the fact is he
was able to walk right into the
Place, and could have gone up
in the elevator and wandered
areund, This is just another reas
son why the guards should be
armed, and there should be
some identification for Vet em-
ployees. .. . You have your card,
if you bother to carry it, But
if they were to make each em-
ployee show his card to one of
the two guards, you'd get up to
work in time to go out to lunch,

The Coding softbali team is*
crowing loudly. They just won
a 2-1 victory over a team com-
posed of Supply, Policy Issue
and elevator men. As man about
town, Stanley Drapkin says
proudly, “We got the healthiest
4-F’ers in this building.”

“Bugs on the second floor,” is
the latest complaint to reach this

corner. . Some of the gals
claim that little things are
crawling around their desks;

and show bites to prove that it’s
more than imagination, . . .
And we hear that a lot of girls
in supervisor “G.I section are
having hysterics as a result of
his school room tactics, . .
CJ.R. is always walking around

the ‘uilding. "Wonder if he ever
popped in there when one of the
gals was having a session of
weeps?
An Idea

One of the young men at

Vets had considerable experi-
ence in office management be-
fore taking the government job,
and he’s come through with
what sounds like a good idea to
improve the efficiency of the
office.

What he would like to see
is a combination coding-filing
section instead of the present
two separate divisions. The,
steps in the process follow in
order and it would speed things
up by moving the papers right
along, instead of having them
come to a dead stop while the
folders pass on to the next de~
partment.

But, this would mean the
elimination of a lot of section
chiefs and that’s one reason
why the plan might not find
favor in high quarters. He has
figured out that one-third of
the supervisory staff could be
eliminated if this streamlining
were put in effect...

Attention City Officials:
Freight elevators are supposed
to carry freight. Has the Vet-
erans Administration been given
special permission to carry peo-
ple up and down on the freight
cars during rush hours?

Wii you writE A LETTER to a Prisoner of War . . . to-
night?

Maybe he’s one of Jimmie Doolittle’s boys. Perhaps he
was left behind when Bataan fell. Anyway, he’s an Ameri-
can, and he hasn’t had a letter in a long, long time.

And when you sit down to write, tell Aim why you
didn’t buy your share of War Bonds last pay day.

“Dear Joe,” you might say, ‘‘the old topcoat was getting
kind of threadbare, sol...”

No, cross it out. Joe might not understand about the top-

coat, especially if he’s shivering in a damp Japanese cell.
Let’s try again. ‘Dear Joe, I’ve been working pretty
@ hard and haven’t had a vacation in over a year,so... ”
@
@

. Hell, better cross that out, too. They don’t ever get vaca-
tions where Joe’s staying.

Well, what are you waiting for? Go ahead, write the
letter to Joe. Try to write it, anyhow.

But mister, if somehow you find you can’t finish
that letter, will you, at least, do this for Joe? Will
you up the amount of money you're putting into

POSTAL
Spot Tests

Life in the Post Office these
days is full of chaos and con-
fusion. Deliveries will be cur-
tailed from four a day in busi-
ness areas to three, and from
three to two in residential sec-
tions, despite opposition to the
plan from the letter-carriers.

Spot tests are being made in
stations scattered all over the
city, and results are confusing.
Carriers are working as clerks,
while the mail piles up in the
local offices, and then clerks
pitch in as carriers to get the
stuff out of the building and
into the mail boxes.

To Hold or Not...?

The .National Association of
Letter Carriers has a nation-wide
conyention scheduled for Sep-
tember 6 to 11, at Denver, Col-
orado, But—

The Office of Defense Trans-
portation has indicated that it
isn’t too much in favor of groups
of people traveling around the
country, so the organization is
taking a poll of its members to
détermine whether to hold the
convention or postpone it.

Brooklyn members recently
came out about 98 percent in
favor of the Denver meeting, and
Manhattan is expected to show
about the same result.

If you're a Federal employee,
you can't afford to be without
the regular news which The
LEADER furnishes. Too many
changes happen which affects
your job. You MUST keep on
your toes. You CAN do it by
reading The LEADER every
week,

PAY
On the Way Up

An increase in their rate of
pay for night work and extrj
pay for holiday work are in
store for Federal employees—ti|
the adjustments which are under
consideration by the Civil Serv-
ice Commission's labor-manage-
ment committee get approval.

Clerical workers are the ones}
who don’t seem to be getting the}
best deal as things stand now
Skilled workers, like printers,
get an extra 15 percent for
night work. The white-collar
employees who work right along-
side them do not get any extra
pay for the late shift.

More For Night Work

One proposal under considera
tion, calls for payment of tht
15 percent differential for night
work to all employees of tht
Federal Government.

On the holiday pay question
Government employees feel thi!
they have every reason to expec!
some consideration, In_privale
employment, holiday work calls
for extra pay. The Federil
Government recognizes no hol:
days except Christmas. Ti
other five legal holidays whicli
are universally observed—exct)!
in Government service are ordi:
nary working days. New Year
Day, Washington's Birthday,
Memorial Day, Fourth of July
and Thanksgiving Day would
again become holidays—with *
reward for those who work thet
if the adjustment goes throws!

U. S. Civil Service Goes
All Out for Vet Preference

The United States is going all out for veteran's pref-

erence,

In a straightforward speech last Saturday, Arthur S.
Flemming, United States Civil Service Commissioner, put

the Government on record squarely.

“A realistic nation knows that it can not do other-

wise,” said Flemming.
“Over 10,000,000 men and
women cannot be uprooted

from their normal pursuits in
order that their nation may be
preserved and then, when this
objective has been reached, be
expected to pick up their nor-
mal pursuits again without any
help. And so we recognize the
, Principle of preference for vet-
erans. This is not an issue.
The issue is whether we are
going to pay lip service to the
principle or whether we are
really going to do something
about it.”
Flemming made it very clear

that something will be done
about it.
First. he said, the Federal

force is going to be reduced.
Second, veterans who had
Federal jobs before they entered
the armed service (unless their
jobs were temporary) will get
their old positions back—or
other positions carrying equal
Status. pay, and seniority.
Third, the Government will
try to open up new positions for
the returning veterans. If this
means that war service ap-
pointees must be fired to make
room for the vets, they will be
fired. Flemming says it in
these word: + we will be
faced with the necessity of
making still further reductions

ARTHUR S. FLEMMING

in force of thousands of war
service appointees who are now
on the Federal payroll in order
to provide veterans with the op-
portunity of competing for jobs
for which they could not com-
pete by reason of their service
in the armed forces.”

Fourth, when replacements
are made, veterans will be
given preference.

Flemming revealed that for
over a year, the Commission
has been engaged in a place-
ment program “designed to
utilize in a judicious manner
the services of the physically
handicapped.”

You Can Help ‘Em
Grind Up for Test
It They're Vets

You can’t help a friend of
yours “grind up” for a Federal
examination if you're a Fed-
eral employee yourself—unless
he’s a member of the armed
forces or a veteran.

The rule forbidding Govern-
ment employees to coach others
applying for U. S. jobs is an old
one. Last week. President
Roosevelt signed an executive

order giving to war vets the
right to call on employees for
their knowledge and _ experi-
ence.

Agencies May Hire
Non-Citizens

WASHINGTON.—By an act
of Congress, the following gov-
ernment agencies are allowed
to employ aliens. The agency
is expected to fill all possible
vacancies with citizens. but may
employ aliens when it cannot

find a citizen for the particular
job.

The list follows: War Man-
power Commission, War Pro-
duction Board, War Relocation
Authority, Board of Economic
Warfare, Office of Censorship,
Coordinator of Inter-American
Affairs, Office of Defense
Health and Welfare Services
and Office of Price Administra-

months ago, all junior offi-

partment office here applied
for sea duty. Weeks went

Here’s Text of the NewU.S.
Liberalized Time-Off Policy

All Departments
Must Follow It

To the many employees who
have written in to inquire about
the text of the time-off order
issued by the President's office to
the Federal departments:

Here it is:

To the Heads of Executive De~
partment and Agencies:

“There has been recent discus-
sion of ways and means whereby
Federal employees in both the
departmental and field services
can be afforded sufficient oppor-
tunity for short periods of ab-
sence from work to permit them
to attend tc necessary personal
matters such as shopping for
necessities, meeting doctors’ and
dentists’ appointments, and per-
forming various household chores.
The lengthening of the workday
and the workweek, the elimina-
tion of Saturday half-holidays,
the difficulties of transportation,
manpower shortages in retail
trade, and the natural desire of
employees to be fre from the
criticism of absenteeism, have
combined with other wartime
conditions to make this a real
problem requiring attention.

“It is the policy of the Govy-
ernment that all administrators
and supervisors should recognize
this problem and should solve it
by a liberal attitude toward the
granting of short periods of an-
nual leave for the conduct of per-
sonal business.

“During wartime, the right of
employees to be absent for
lengthy periods to the full extent
of their current and accumulated
annual leave, has been and
should be curtailed. After per-
missible vacation leave (usually
not more than two weeks, or
twelve working days) is taken
or reserved for vacations, em-

ployees should be permitted 1,
use, if they so desire, any adgj.
tional leave to which they 4,,
entitled for short periods of aj.
sence for personal business at q
rate, for example, of a few hoy,
off every two or three weeks,

“All supervisors should be qj,
tected to exercise a liberal atij.
tude toward granting employee;
short periods of leave for ihe
conduct of personal business,
Such periods of leave are, of
course, to be taken at such times
as will not jeopardize the work oy,
which employees are engaged. I,
addition, in order to maintain
the continuity of govevnmen
business on Saturday afternoons,
departments and agencies should,
in adopting a policy in conform.
ity with this memorandum, re.
strict its application usually to
days other than Saturday.

(Signed)

WILLIAM H. McREYNOLDS

Administrative Assistant to the
President.

Agencies Ignore %t

A number of agencies just
haven't told their employees
about the new liberal-leave pol.
icy. And the White House last
week decided that the hush-hush
of some agencies just won't be
tolerated. The new leave-policy
was put into effect because it
was needed, and the Government
doesn’t intend that any agency
shall quietly do nothing arout it.

In the New York area, plenty
of agencies hadn’t told their em-
ployees about the new policy as
The LEADER went to press.
Among those who are maintain-
ing an unbecoming silence:
