n Employees
With Special Abilities for Higher Jobs
By MAXWELL LEHMAN
ALBANY, Feb, 16,—A proposal
now being considered in high
State circles may shortly haye an
important effect on the proportion
opportunities of specially-qualified
employees, The LEADER learned
this week.
As envisioned, the plan would
be an experimental method to
provide departments with per-
sonnel they can't get by normal
recruiting methods. If the plan
should be adopted, and if it proves
successful, it would be widened to
include many groups of employees.
Here's how the experiment
would work.
Departments are finding it
difficult to recruit administrative
analysts. The Civil Service Com-
mission has not been able to ob-
tain sufficient numbers to fill the
existing openings through estab-
lished recruiting methods. Yet the
position is a very important one,
since the employee who handles
it deals with methods and pro-
cedures, and can do much to
streamline operations.
Now, the new suggestion is to
set up an in-service training
course for the purpose of educat-
ing a sufficient number of people
More Vigorous Personnel

UTICA, Feb. 16. — William F,
McDonough, Executive Represent-
ative of The Civil Service Employ-
ees Association, an organization
composed of State, county, city, |
town, village and district civil
service employees within New
York State and haying a member-
ship of over 40,000, addressed the
members of the newly-formed
Utica Chapter at a large meeting
held in Hotel Utica, He said that
the greatest threat to efficient
civil government lies in failure of
government officials on all levels
to develop sulficiently vigorous
personnel administration machin-
ery within the framework of the
constitutional mandate requiring
that appointments and pr ~
tions in civil service shall be on
the basis of demonstrated merit
and fitnes: a
Bi onsibility of Commissions
“There are more than 300,000
civil employees in New York State
and local governmental units.
Life, property, education, health,
recreation, utilization of natural
resources, and every other concern
of civilization is largely depend-
upon. the civil service body
“The civil service commissions
are charged with grave respons
bility to follow constitutional
methods in the selection of civil
servants and to utilize the best
procedures known to personnel e:
perts everywhere in the direction
of civil employees. There is con-
siderable present inadequacy in
such matters which employee:

Mr. McDonough stated that the
Association is sponsoring some 50
bills to improve. present employ-
ment practices in the State serv-
ice and the service of political
sub-divisions.
He added that the Association

years history, He said that the

for the post. The course would
admit not only those now per-
forming the duties of the job, but
those State employees now hold-
ing other jobs who would like to
become examiners of methods
and procedures. a
Choosing the Employees
How would the employees be
chosen for the course?
Now comes the really ingenious
part of the suggestion.
Any employee of the State
would be offered the opportunity
to take the course, provided he
has the apitude. And to discover
whether or not he has the apti-
tude, he would be given a special
examination. This examination
would not be a probe of informa-
tion or background—but of the
capacity and qualities needed to
perform the tasks involved. Those
then passing this test would be
admitted to the in-service train-
ing course.
Promotion Exam
At the completion of the course,
a regular promotion exam would
be held, based this time mainly
on information and knowledge of
the job. All who took the course
could compete for a position one
grade higher than the one they
are holding. The particular posi-
tion involved in this example pays
from $2,400 to better than $7,000
a year.
A variety of advantages is for-
seen in such an experiment.
1. It may establish the ground-
work for new methods of pro-
moting employees, and better
ways of training them for their
jobs.
2. It would assure that short-
ages in certain specialized posi-
tions could be filled from within
the service, by employees who
have the aptitudes,
8. It would provide a means for
increasing the efficiency of operat-
ing departments, in that they
would not have to go without
certain types of employees sim-
ply because they couldn’t be re-
cruited.
Those who propose the plan are
anxious to learn what administra-
tors and employees think of the
proposal. Frankly admitting it to
be an experiment, they neverthe-
less want to make sure that any
“bugs” in it are ironed out before
it is put into effect. The LEADER
will be happy to receive com-
ments on the proposal. Address

PERMANENT
MERIT AWARDS
ALBANY, Feb. 16.—Establish-
ment of a permanent merit award
board is on the way, with. pas-
sage by the State Senate last week
of a bill to achieve this result,
The bill, introduced by Senator
Seymour Halpern, provides that
the present practice of rewarding
employees for meritorious sugges-
tions and accomplishments be
made permanent.
The practice, initiated two years
ago after an editorial campaign
for it by The LEADER, has met
wide response. Suggestions by em-
ployees have saved the State
thousands of dollars, and have
Streamlined many operations,
The bill would amend the civil
service law to provide for the
establishment and maintenance
of plans to encourage and reward
unusual and meritorious service
of employees in promoting effi-
ciency and economy in the per-
formance of the functions of
State Government, creating a
merit award board, and making
an appropriation for it. The bill
would make permanent the pro-
visions of article 3-a of the civil
service law relating to the board.

Requests for organization come

Mr. Culyer, describing his
methods of organization, explain-
ed the care with which he builds
up an itinerary. He makes con-
tacts both in advance of entering
a “territory,” and after arriving
there, with officials and employee
groups. He answers a vast variety
of questions, from the nature of
the Association to the specific ac-
complishments which employees
have made—and can make—by be-
longing to it. An itinerary which
he is now planning to begin on
March 1 will keep him “on the

cover all the counties in the
northern part of the State.
County Employee Problems
What are the problems about
which county employees are most
concerned?
First, salary. In some cases,
local pay is pitifully inadequate,
Then come the problems of
classification — employees don’t
always know what their jobs
actually are, and have to work at
all kinds of tasks they didn’t
dream of when they entered these
positions,
Sick leave, vacation rules, and
day-to-day working conditions are
far from uniform, and in some
cases actually “scandalous,” Mr.
Culyer has found.
Only rarely is decent machinery
found for the handling of griev-
ances,
Association Program
On October 6 and 7, 1947, the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion set up a 19. point program
for the County Division. The pro-
gram included these features:
1, Adequate salary schedules,
2. Legislation fixing wages and
hours of non-teaching school
employees,
3. Salary increments for local
public employees,
4. Forty-hour working-week for
local employees who now work
longer hours.
5. Saturday
week,
6. Retirement system liberaliza-
tion,
7, Time and a half for over«
time work,
8. Sick leave and vacation credit
before retirement,
9. Extension of State Retire-
ment System membership to
county employees who don't be«
long at present.
10. Pension credit for military
service.
11. Uniform annual leave.
12. Uniform leave for sickness
and religious observances.
13. Sick leave credit for military
service,
14. Employee representation on
local personnel boards and com~
mittees,
15. Hearing and court review
on dismissal.
16. Right to counsel at formal
hearing.
17. Unemployment insurance
coverage for local public em-~
ployees.
18. Civil Service Commission to
make immediately available
notices and results of examina-

19. Exemption of pensions from
Federal income tax,
Substantial Aschievements
Even though county organiza~
tion is new, there have already
been substantial achievements.
In Broome County, for example,
appearance of the Association
representative before the Board
of Supervisors resulted in a $250
annual across-the-board increase
in pay, for almost 1,000 county
employees,
In Batavia, Association inter-
vention resulted in $200 raises for
160 employees.
In Syracuse, the Association's
Onandaga chapter won a $250
across-the-board pay rise.
In Franklin County, the em-
Ployees gained entrance into the
Retirement system,
The Westchester County chap-

Bill Covers Promotion
After 10 Years
ALBANY, Feb. 16.—A bill to
reward civil service employees
after ten years of meritorious
service was introduced in the Leg-
islature by State Senator Seymour
Halpern (R.-Queens) and Assem-
blyman Francis X. McGowan (D.-
Manhattan).
The measure would grant em-
ployees a promotion in grade after
ten years of servic
“The purpose of this bill is to
encourage civil service as a ca-
reer,” the sponsors stated, “and
to obtain for the merit system em-
ployees of the highest caliber by
giving them every possible in-
dtcement to enter the system.
“Many employees have remained
in the same grade, through no
fault of their own, because of the
nature of their work.

PROMOTION PROBATION OPPOSED
(Continued from Page 1)
of the employees, however, is at
this time strongly opposed to pro-
motional probation; and the vote
in the Association to reject it
was unanimous,
‘The original impulse for the
change in probationary period
came from administrators.
“For some time,” said Civil
Service Commission President J.
Edward Conway, “we have been
receiving requests from State de-
partments and personnel officers
to extend the probationary period
for various classes of employees,
It has been pointed out that there
are many employees whose work
performance cannot be adequately
judged in the three-months pro-
tion period now provided for
most Staje employees. It has been
found that persons holding ad-
ministrative and supervisory posi-
tions, employees whose jobs en-
tail field work, such as auditing
local government units, and em-
Pployees in many other occupation-
al groups, cannot be expected
truly to demonstrate their ability
in a three-month period.”
The Objections
A probationary period for pro-
moted employees is impossible of
administration, Under the pro-
posal, whenever an employee was
Promoted, the job just below his
would have to be frozen, so that
in the event he didn’t pass his
pronabonary, period satisfactorily,
e could go back to it. The only
other alternative would be that a
promoted employee who failed to
pass his probationary period sat-
isfactorily would have to be fired!
‘This, of course, is considered un-
thinkable—that the employee who
is good enough to pass a promotion
exam should jeopardize his career
each time he gets a promotion.
Moreover, it is argued, when a
job is frozen, that “freezing”
might have to go all the way
down the line. It might conceiv-
ably take years to straighten out
a tangle when a promoted em-
ployee is ordered back to his
former job.
With respect to the statement

incompetent su; , the
sociation points out that adequate
machinery does exist for bringing
incompetent supervisors up on
charges, and demoting them in

The financial report showed
that the chapter has a nice nest

vealed that renewals are coming
in well and the prospect of new
memberships is better than ever.
The chapter has 3,060 paid-up
members, Mrs. Marie A. Lauro,
Financial Secretary, reported, and
has set a goal of 500 more to go,
for this year. The excellent shor
ing on membership does not in-
clude the 342 members, formerly
in the chapter, who are now in
the Metropolitan Armory chapter.
The large size of the NYC chapter
has resulted in the chapter's ap-
proval of the founding of separate
chapters, where members so
desire, and this has been done
in_several instances,

The next to the last court de-
cision in the effort to settle final-
ly the controversy over what
constitutes disability that en-
titles a veteran to primary pref-
erence under the State constiti
tion in civil service examinations,
was rendered by the Appellate
Division, when it. upheld Justice
John E. McGeehan’s finding that
the disability must be rated at
10 per cent or greater by the
Veterans Administration.
The decision affirmed Justice
McGeehan’s order in the case of
Carey versus Morton, in which
some Fire Lieutenant eligibles
sought successfully to have dis-
ability claimants with less than
10 per cent disability put in the
next lower catefory, of non-dis-
abled veterans. It is therefore a
dispute, in effect, between vet-
erans with less than 10 per cent
disability rating and those with
10 per cent or greater disability
rating. The veterans claiming no
disability would be benefited by
the reshuffling only if fheir own
percentages are higher than those
of disabled veteran claimants
moved down, assuming the Court
of Appeals affirms the Appellate
Division.
Affirmation Unanimous
The Appellate Division's de-
cision was unanimous. In_ an
opinion, written by Justice John
Van Voorhis, the court held that
while the Veterans Administra-
tion was the deciding factor on
disability, that the State itself
had to decide whether the class
of disability rating was such as
to entitle a veteran to primary
preference in civil service in the
State and its civil divisions, under
the State constitution and the
Civil Service law.
The case will go to the Court
of Appeals, as of right, even
though the decision was unani-
mous, because of the constitution-
al question involved.
H. Eliot Kaplan is counsel to
the petitioners, the Committee to
Void Paper Disabilities; Assistant
Corporation Counsel Seymour B.
Quell represents the city, while
Robert H. Schaffer, former Acting
Corporation counsel, is attorney
for the veterans with less than
10 per cent disability rating.

prospects and the valuable public
service that can be rendered. He
added intimate details of what
appointees will receive, as to train-
ing and indoctrination, and cited
the added attractiveness of be-
coming a’ member of a force in
which morale is high and courage
is the keyword.
Now “The Bravest”
In_the same vein of acclaim,
the Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission, in a 10x20-inch poster.
gave the members of the uniform-
ed fire force a new name—The
Bravest. This designation is said
to have originated with Civil Serv-
ice Commissioner Esther Brom-
ley, in charge of recruitment acti-
vities of the Commission. The
Police force has for decades been
known as The Finest. Now The
Bravest joins The Finest in the
municipal nomenclature.
Backing up the Commissioner's
all-out efforts to attract a large
number of high-grade candidates,
the three line organizations of the
department, through their respec-
tive Presidents, each issued a
special plea.
All activities to stimulate re-
cruitment were cordinated in co-
operation with the Municipal Civil
Service Commission and the Fire
Department by the Citizens Com-
mittee on Firemen Recruitment.
cruitment.
Call by Quayle
“The Fire Department Js
especially interested in aiding the
Civil Service Commission to obtain
top calibre recruitment of Fire-
men, and also that a sizeable num-
ber of men apply,” said Commis-
sioner Quayle. “The goal is 20,000
applicants as stated by the Com-
mission, and we are anxious to
lend our assistance to achieve it.
“There are good opportunities
for promotion in the uniformed
force of the Fire Department and
keen-minded and alert men can
look forward to a -career that
carries honor and service to the
public as companion assets. The
appointees will enter a depart-
ment in which the morale is high,
and where the opportunity to ad-
vance by initiative and devotion
is abundant, A Fire career is one
that any man can look forward|
to with a thrill. |
What to Expect
“Many of the candidates would
no doubt like to know the sequence
following appointment.
“Upon appointment as a Pro-
bationary Fireman, the employee
serves a six-months probationary
period, upon the successful com-
pletion of which he becomes a@
Fireman, Fourth Grade, the pres-
ent pay for which totals $2,900 a
year. Then he moves up in grade
after completing his first year, on
the anniversary date of appoint-
ment, to become a Fireman, Third
Grade, at the same pay. After the
second year is completed he is a
Fireman, Second Grade, at higher
pay, now $3,400, an increase of
$500 a year. After the third year
he becomes a Fireman, First
Grade, at another increase of $500,
so that his pay is $3,900 a year,
“The probationary period is
counted as part of the first year's
service, so that the first year of
service consists of six months as
a Probationary Fireman and six
months as a Fireman, Fourth
Grade.
“While the appointee is serving
as a Probationary Fireman he at-
tends the Fire College and does
initiative duty at fire houses, for
about two months.
“The teaching at the Fire Col-
lege is through, despite the brief
period, and includes indoctrina-
tion, chemistry, hydraulics, phy-
sics and other technical aspects of
the work of fire prevention and
fire extinguishment. The appointee
is taught to take those safeguards
that protect not only his own life
but the lives of his fellow-Firemen
and officers, and the lives of the
public, This instruction is of ut-
most importance and results in
the saving of many lives,
High Standard Set
“The indoctrination is some-
what in the nature of the Army
and the Navy metdods used for
commissioned officers. Even such
finer aspects as deportment, and
proper respect for the public and
superior officers, and the rights
and privileges of citizens and fel-
low-Firemen, are taught, and the
appointee comes to realize, if he

he is bound to exercise the finest
instincts and think of himself as
a part of a highly-developed and
efficient fire-fighting force that
works as an unbeatable team.
“I urge the men who meet the
requirements to enter this exami-
nation by all means, to enter now,
and look forward to a secure and
encouraging future in which a
man can carve out for himself a
career of consequence in the com-
munity and wear an honored uni-
form.”
Statement by McNamara
President Joseph A. McNamara,
of the Civil Service Commission,
reiterated the plea he made on
February 5 last, in a broadcast
over WNYC, the municipal radio
station, when I interviewed him.
“Mcthers, wives and
s should encourage their
men to apply for the Fireman ex-
amination. There’s nothing like
having a man around the house
who had a steady job. The Fire~
man job is not only a steady one
but a good one and offers pro-
motion opportunities and the pos-
sibility of retiring after 20 years
on half pay.”
Commissioner Quayle expects to
make 1,027 appointments by
December 31 next to the Fireman
positions. There is an_ existing
Fireman list, but from the list to
life of the list is four

Age Questions Clarified
In the Fireman examination the
maximum and minimum ages are
specified in the Administrative
Code and are therefore statutory.
‘The Military Law provides that
veterans shall not be barred for
age, unless the age is statutory.
The deduction for time spent in
military service during war is de-
ductible by those actually over
age. If the result is equal to or
less than the maximum age of
29, the candidate is not barred by
age.

Passed his 29th birthday at the
time of filing. The Code cites the
filing time as determining. The
NYC Civil Service Commission
counts the first day of filing—Fri-
day, September 6—to give maxi-
mum leeway to those who might
be affected by maximum age.
Thus the real age (applicable to
non-veterans) requires that the
applicant be born not later than
February 6, 1919. As to veterans,
the actual date of birth may be
earlier, limited as to this conces-
sion by the length of time spent
in the armed forces during war.
Travel time to the point of in-
duction, and terminal leave time
are both counted as credits to
veterans.
In general, induction dates as
appearing on discharge papers
control as to when military service
started. The fact that the veteran
may have been called to active
duty later does not operate against
him. Also, discharge date, as ap-
pearing on the discharge papers,
controls, in the absence of sat-
isfactory proof to the contrary.
Certain payments for services in
the armed forces after the tech-
nical date of discharge may be
cited, in doubtful cases, and the
Commission will decide each one
separately. The question would
arise only because of rejection for
over-age.
Minimum Age
On the minimum age score,
“age 20” is the criterion, and
means that the applicant must
have passed his 19th birthday.
Here the last day of filing con-
trols, eg. Friday, February 27,
for the young candidiates’ ben-
efit. The three-weeks filing period
is thus counted in favor of both
extreme age cases. The young can-
earlier than February 27, 1928.
The Military Law is of no help
to increase actual age to a “civil
service age,” for it operates only
to reduce actual age for pur-
Les) of acceptability of veterans.
e fact that the minimum age
is statutory allows the Commis-
sion to bar all who are actually
under the minimum age, veterans
and non-veterans alike,
Police Age Rule Different
In the case of Patrolman (P.D.)
the Code provides a maximum
but no minimum age, therefore
the minimum age is not statutory,
and it is possible for veterans to
disregard the minimum age. This
point is raised in a current law
suit brought by eight Patrolman
eligibles who were disqualified
from the last Patrolman examina-
tion for being under age. They
claim, in a suit brought under
Article 78 of the Civil Practice
Act, against the Municipal Civil
Service Commission, that since
there is no minimum statutory
age in the Patrolman examination,
they can not be disqualified for
under-age. Their attorney is for-
mer Councilman Joseph E. Kins-
ley, of The Bronx. The Commis-
sion itself is impressed with the
argument and there may be an
announcement soon on the sub-
ject. It must not be thought that
the same freedom of admissabili-
ty for ages under 20 applies in
the Fireman exam, because there
the minimum age is statutory.
In any instance, Fireman or
Patrolman, the eligible must be 21
years old, at least, to be appoint-
ed; there is no maximum age for
appointment, but it would be in
any case, from practical consid-
erations, the actual age (or, for
veterans, the civil service age),
plus four years, because the maxi-
mum legal life of an eligible list
is four years.
How Age Is Construed
What bothers many candidates,
especially when legal construction
operates to bar them, is that a
person who has not reached his
30th birthday is normally re-
garded as 29, whereas in civil
service he is 30 the very moment
after his 29th birthday, The civil
service construction of age evalu-
ation is long-standing and well
established and benefits those at
or near the other extreme—the
youngsters, so to speak. The op-
Posite construction would benefit
the “oldsters” at the expense of
their juniors. A choice had to be
made, and since in the Police and
Fire Departments particularly, the
accent is on youth, complaints
against the established method
are not strongly based; in fact,

Taft Pension Bill.
Debated hy Conferees
WASHINGTON, Feb, 16.— The
Retirement Bill, which is an
amendment of the Stevenson bill
and the Langer-Chavez bill, pass-
ed by the Senate is still in con-
ference.
Senator Langer said that the
new bill is a better and more
liberal one than the Langer-
Chavez Bill, S. 637, and meets
with the approval of the Senate
Civil Service Committee. Senator
Chavez also felt that the new
bill carries out practically every-
thing included in the Langer-
Chavez bill,
Senator Taft said that the sub-
stitute bill would cost about
$42,000,000 more than the Steven~
son measure but would be les
expensive than the Langer-Chavez
bill. He said:
“What the [Taft] bill does, in
the first place, is to increase the
pensions of those who have already
retired, The bill will increase
their pensions by 25 per cent or
$300, whichever is less, That
amounts to an average increase
in pensions of approximately 23
per cent for those who have al-
ready retired. Of course, that is
a straight gift. No one has suffer~
ed as much from the increase in
the cost of living as the people
who have been on fixed pensions.”
Senator Taft said that the in-
crease would be borne by the
‘Treasury and that it would be an
additional Government contribu-
tion of about $24,000,000 of the
$42,000,000.
The Senate conferees are Sena-
tors Langer, Chavez, Baldwin,
Johnston, Flanders; the House
conferees, Representatives Rees,
Stevenson, Butler, Murray and
‘Lyle.

Supported by Ives

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16,—After
testifying before a special session
of the Senate Civil Service Sub-
committee on Wages delegation
of 14 members of the Federal
Workers Union, Local 20, UPW-
CIO, visiled the office of Senator
Irving M. Ives to get his support
of such Federal increases as
the committee reports out. As a|‘
result, Senator Ives later sent this
telegram:
“I can assure you that I will do
‘all possible to support S. 1848 and
Ss. 1849 ( ger-Chavez bills)
which provide salary increases for
all Federal and postal employees.
“I shall be pleased to further
communicate my _ position to
members of the Civil Service Com-
mittee and when the measures are
reported to the floor to support
them with my vote.”
The bills call for $1,000 in-
creases for postal and classified
employees generally.

Postal Raise
The plight in which the wives of
postal employees find themselves
is an unenviable one. As the cost
of living has advanced, they have
been forced to stretch the dollar
until today it is no longer possible
to make ends meet,
When our husbands brought
home $2,100, less pension deduc-
tions, in 1939, we could just about
get by. Even then we were falling
behind everyone else, since we
hadn’t had an increase after 1925.
Now, when they received $3,100,
less taxes and pension deductions,
the take-home pay isn’t much
greater and we are,'way behind
even our modest 1939 standard of
living. Luxuries are a thing of

In order to provide food, clothing

‘The $1,000 increase that the pos-

about give us a chance to break

the 1939 standards. Our auxiliary

Tribute to Hefferman
Paid in Fire Dept. Order
Special Order 19 paid a deserved
tribute to Deputy Chief William
J. Hefferman, 14th Division, who
died recently. Like his brilliant
father before him, Chief Heffer-
man made an outstanding record
in the department. Said the 8.0.:
“Chief Heffernan was an efficient,
trustworthy and painstaking offi-
cer who devoted his best efforts
to the interest of the Department
for twenty-eight years. The heart-
felt sympathy of the entire De-
partment goes out to the family,
relatives and friends of the de-
ceased in the midst of the great
Joss which they and the Depart-
ment have sustained.”

Two-Thirds On List
For Railroad Clerk
Ask Vet Preference
Of the 6,964 eligibles on the
Railroad Clerk list, 784 (11 per
cent) are disabled veteran claim~-
ants, 3,851 (55 per cent) are non-
disabled veteran claimants, and
2,329 (34 per cent) are non-
veterans, Hence 66 per cent are
veterans.
The complete official eligible
list may be inspected at the
LEADER office, 97 Duane Street,
Manhattan, two blocks north of
City Hall Park and just west of
Broadway.
It has not as yet been decided
when the medical and physical
examinations will be scheduled.
There is a possibility that they
may take place in May or June,
depending on how quickly other
examinations are completed,
Because of the large number of
disabled veterans and non-dis-
abled veterans on the eligible list,
there is no likelihood thai non-
veterans will be called for medi-
cal-physical test for many months.

Attention, Ladies - Girls
GREAT EB, Fur Sale, direct in tac-
Be on):
The following continues the
publication of questions and ans-
wers in the last (1946) NYC Fire-
men's exam:
$2. Of the following, the chief
argument for appointment of the
heads of the various City depart-
ments by the Mayor, rather than
on the basis of competitive exam-
ination, is to assure (A) a uniform
administrative policy in accord-
ance with the mandate of the elec-
torate (B) permanent status to
all important administrative and
policy making officials. (C) ade-
quate administrative training for
men to be promoted to head the
various City departments (D) an
adequate distinction between the
administrative and executive pow-
ers of the chief executive of the
City (E) frequent popular review
of the administrative actions of
the chief executive of the City.
33. The fireman who has kept
abreast of the progress of the
United Nations in safeguarding
world peace should realize that
use of the veto power has become
an important issue in the pro-
ceedings of the (A) General As-
sembly (B) Secretariat (C) Trus-
teeship Council (D) Security
Council (E) International Court.
34, The fireman who reads
newspapers for reports on impor-
tant developments in Congress
should know that (A) Congres-
sional committees have recently
been drastically curtailed by the
President (B) both the number
,|and importance of Congressional
committees have been decreasing
steadily during the past decade
(C) a large part of the work of
Congress is performed in commit-
tees (D) no Congressman or Sen-
ator may be a member of more
than one committee (E) senior
members of Congress are excused
from the burden of committee
work,
35. Of the following, the chief
distinction between the govern-
ment of the City of New York and
the government of the State of
New York is fhat in the State of
New York (A) the chief executive

UFOA Opposes
Dept. Chief Bill
The Uniformed Fire Officers
Association has sent notice to all
State Senators and Assemblymen
of its apposition to Assemblyman
Irwin Steingut's bill for the detail
of a Deputy Chief to be Chief of
Department. The notice, signed by
President Richard A. Denahan,
follows:
“In accordance with the prin-
ciples on which the Uniformed
Officers Association was
founded and the purposes it has
always pursued, we protest the
bill, Assembly Int. No. 1482, Print
No. 1515, introduced by Mr.
Steingut, which provides for the
detailing by the Fire Commission-
er of a Deputy Chief to the posi-
tion of Chief of Department.
“This organization considers the
elimination of any position from
the competitive class in the uni-
formed force of the New York
Fire Department as a direct blow |
at the merit system, the preser-
vation of which deeply concerns
us.
“As Officers of the uniformed
force who have attained our pres- |
ent ranks under the merit sys-|
tem, we cannot permit this
occasion to pass without register-
ing our frevent protest.
“In preserving the merit system
we feel sure you are also serving
the best interests of your con-
stituents and this association will
deeply appreciate your coopera-
tion in preventing this bill from
becoming law.”

cation was to be made by today.
Also requested for certification

Ave., Bklyn,
er in the Assembly, introduced a
bill to changes in the New York
City Administrative Code to re=
move the requirement that the
Fire Department be organized on
a three-platoon basis. The pro-
posal would cut the work week
of Firemen from 48 hours to 45
hours and 12 minutes. The pro-
posed changes would not become
effective until passed upon by New
York City’s voters next November.
The bill provides that Firemen
receive a minimum of 48 eight
hours of consecutive rest a week.
Under another bill, the Fire
Commissioner would be permitted
|to establish either a two- or a
three-platoon system or both.
These bills were sponsored by
the Uniformed Firemen’s Associa~
tion,
The Fire Department and the
NYC administration are not
figuring on taking any stand on
the bills.
