City Employees Come UpWith Flood
Of Ideas on Automatic Promotions

Promotions depending on satisfactory service rather
than on the results of a written examination, are desired
by New York City employees. Proposals for this change,
‘originally suggested by employees of the City Sanitation
ment, have been seized by workers in other City
who are dissatisfied with the present system of
written examinations at infrequent intervals.

Few Federal Employees
Affected by Salary Cuts

By CHARLES SULLIVAN

' WASHINGTON — Few Federal employees will be
fired as a result of the White House announcement that
46,855 persons would be cut off the payroll during the
second quarter of fiscal year 1945,

». Agencies have until December
80 to make the cuts and by that
time normal turnover will affect
4he reduction. Practically no em-
Ployees will be affected here, And
Many departments are making

plans to bring to Washington field
employees who are in offices that
will be eliminated.

Use of the transfer is also ex-
pected to make forced separations

unnecessary. White House fears
that approaching peace will cause
| too many employees to leave their
|Jobs before Government can af-
ford to let them go.

Here are the important cuts as
they affect each agency:
War Department
Navy Department ....
War agencies in Office of

Emergency Management, 7,711
Independent war agencies. 4,624
Department of Agriculture. 8,973

18,000
M47

Department of Interior
Department of Justice 1411
Federal Security Agency.... 1,791
National Housing Authority 1,332
Other agencies got minor
cut below
Positions
When persons resign or leave
for other reasons, positions will
just not be filled or if it is neces-
sary to have an incumbent, some
person whose job is about to be
eliminated wili be placed in the

+ 2,072

spot

It is still the general opinion
here that there will be no large-
scale cuts in the size of the Gov-
ernment until after the war in Eu-
rope, and even then problems in
dispésal of surplus property and
reconversion will require services
of thousands of Federal employees
until even long after the war in
the East,

2, 8, 12, 15

date; and that even after a pro-
motion list is drawn up, the ma-
jority of the eligibles are never
reached for promotion.

‘The Water Inspectors also have
presented a plan to the American
Federation of Municipal Em-
ployees for revision of the promo~
tion setup, Their suggestions:

A. Retention of the present
competitive examination and pro-
bationary period and other pro-
visions for entrance into a City
job to remain unchanged,

B. Elimination of all promo-
tional examinations, except for
some administrative positions.

C. Salary increments of $120
yearly, to begin after three years
of satisfactory service until a
suitable maximum salary ceiling
is reached, Present salary grades
should be lifted to provide better
maximum salaries.

D. Salary increments should de-
pend on the employee's maintain-
ing a satisfactory service-rating,

Employees in other depart-
ments, with suggestions, or who
want to endorse this plan are in-
vited to write to Mr. M, Blum at
Room 2420, Municipal Building,
New York 7.

Discussing this promotion plan,
Henry Feinstein, president of Lo-
cal 717, American Federation of
State, County and Municipal Em-
ployees, AFL, said: “I am in favor
of such a plan but some changes
must be made to allow promo-
tional opportunities for the vast
number of municipal employees
who are stuck in jobs with no
avenue of advancement. There Has
not yet been advanced a compre-
hensive plan to allow equal
chances of advancement to all
employees in all departments,

“This is a phase of City admin-
istration in which the Civil Serv-
ice Commission and the Adminis-
tration have fallen down. I hope
that the newly aroused interest
among City employees will pro-
duce constructive results.”

The LEADER is desirous of
having employee comment upon
the automatic-promotion idea, If
you have any thoughts, pro or
con, please let us hear from you,

Earl Kelly Issues Progress Report on
Mental Hygiene Classification Appeals

ALBANY—J. Earl Kelly, Director of Classification of the State
jCivil Service Department, has issued a progress report on mental
giene appeals, The report was read at the annual meeting of the
ate Association by Joseph Schechter, Counsel of the Civil Service
Commission, Mr, Schechter outlined in great detail the manner by
which classification works. ania —

Just one year ago (October 19)
the Classification Board commenc-
ed the immense task of hearing

practically abandon the Mental
Hygiene hearings in order to ser-

of employees in military service
and answering voluminous cor-
respondence, it is readly apparent
that the related work requires as
much, if not more, time than do
the hearings themselves,

For the past several months

| have

been concurrently hearing
separate calendars during the us-
ual

over 3600 appeals for title changes
filed by employees in each of the
86 Mental Hospitals and schools of
the State, As this report is pub-
‘shed, the Board is engaged in
the hearing of appeals at Kings
Park State Hospital, The comple-
tion of these will bring the total
| Bumber of hearings held during
} ee year to slightly more than 2,-

Considering the fact that for
‘about two and on-half months

vice the classification needs of daytime working hours and
other departments, we have, on| meeting in evening sessions as a|
the average, held about 300 hear-| board to determine the appeals |
ings each month, Combining the | heard by each day, This procedure |

Those Not Yet Visited
The employees of the institu-
| tions which have not yet been

increasingly impatient. This is
quite natural and we can readily |
understand their feelings. Until

ing; more than that, we here fur
nish them with some facts which

to make the Mental Hygiene class-

sible.

ODB Employees
Give 2000 Pints
To Blood Bank

NEWARK—More than 2,000
blood donations have been made
by employees of the War Depart-
ment Office of Dependency Ben-
efits to date.

Approximately 180 ODB em-
ployees gave their pints of blood
during the latest ODB Blood
Bank Day.

Leading the entire Newark area
in blood donations is Miss Pran-
ces V, Menefee, an ODB em-
ployee, who has contributed two
gallons of blood to help save the
lives of America’s fighting men.

Miss Menefee is proud to be
the only wearer in this area of
the silver pin with the red and
white ribbon, signifying the two-
gallon donation, but she is even
more proud of her nephew, Sea-
man John H. Clifton, now sery-
ing abroad, Miss Menefee resides
at 180 Ashland Avenue, Bloom-
field, N. J.

Close to Miss Menefee's record
in blod donations are two other
ODB employees. They are Mrs.
Mamie Helder Hl, of Garden
Terrace, North Arlington,
Margaret Crouse, of 294 Central
Avenue, Orange.

‘The first person in the New-
ark area to give a gallon of blood,
Mrs. Hull thus far has donated
14 pints.

Both Miss Menefee and Mrs.
Hull first volunteered in July
1941, while working for the Fed-
eral Government in Washington,
D. C. They continued their con-
tributions to the Red Cross Blood
Bank when they moved to New-
ark with the ODB.

The next highest contributor to
the Red Cross Blood Bank at the
ODB Is Mrs. Crouse who has giv-
en a total of nine pints. Formerly
of Somerset, Pa., Mrs. Crouse has
two sons serving in the armed
forces, Lt, Harry Lynn Crouse,
who recently was awarded the
Purple Heart, is a pilot of a B-24
Liberator in the European war
theater, Her other son, Ensign
Richard E, Crouse, is a gunnery
officer on an aircraft carrier
somewhere in the Pacific area.

feel that the necessity for the
endowment associations has pas-
| sed. The program of the new or-

members are anxious to “get go-
ing.” They await the high sign

Meanwhile, the old Chief Of-

Unions Scramble
To Enroll School
Custodial Men |

?A recent Supreme Court dect-
sion held that the custodial sys-
tem, by which contracts are let
for the maintenance of NYC
Schoo! buildings and employees
hired by the custodian, isn't legal
and that the school custodial
workers should come under civil

vice. However, the decision al-
owed a “redsonable”’ time in
which to take these employees |
{nto the civil service classifica-
tions.

Meanwhile, there's a scramble
among civil service and labor or-
ganizations to enroll these new-
omers to civil service, Now, the
jtationary engineers are members
of a local in the A.F.L.; main-
tenance workers are being solicited
by the Building Trades locals of

AFP.L. John Lewis’ District 50
is waging an active campaign to

Public Works
Cleaners Seek
Pay Adjustment

Male cleaners in the NYC De-
‘partment of Public Works, who
have a salary range from $1,200 to
$1,600, complain that most of
them are too close to the $1,200
mark,

Another complaint is the fact
that new appointments, made dur-
ing the manpower shortage, have
been at $1,320. That gives the
new employees the same base pay
as those who have been on the
job for 5, 6 and 7 years.

, The AFL local in the depart-

‘ment is trying to get together with

the department officials and

straighten out the situation.
‘The Answer

The explanation, as given by a
"DPW official, is this

New appointments ale being
g@made at $1,320 a year, but an
‘older employee receives the bonus
in addition to the base pay, That
.Means the older employee is now
earning $1,560 because of the war
bonus and is $240 ahead of the
new worker,

* As to the future, that depends
‘on what happens about the bonus.
If the bonus is made a permanent
‘part of City employees’ salaries,
then the older employee will have
the difference. If the bonus should
“be dropped after the war, then the
question of the cleaners’ salaries
é¢would be a matter which would
have to be settled by the Mayor
and the Budget Director

Previously, it was not uncommon for a City employee to hand in
his application for retirement, then have to wait three or four months
before his first pension check came in,

The Retirement System had to
check payrolls, often over a period
of twenty or thirty years, to es-
tablish the correct pension rate,
Then reports had to be printed
and presented to the Board of
Estimate; finally the retirement
had to be approved by the Board
before the machinery to get out
the pension check could even be
started.

Under the new setup, there
won't be any period of waiting. A
retiring employee will normally
receive a pension check the month
following retirement. The new
regulation provides that, on the
certification of the Secretary and
the Senior Accountant of the Re-
tirement System, up to 80 per cent
of the prospective retirement al-

lowance may be paid.

For example, a retiring em-
ployee may expect a pension of
$100 a month. As soon as he files
his retirement application, he will
be entitled to receive $80 a month,
Then, when the red-tape has been
complied with, he will begin to
get the full payments, plus a sup-
plementary check to make up the
difference for the 80 per cent
payments.

This plan has been approved
for the duration of the war. While
it makes retiring employees happy,
it presents another headache to

| the understaffed and overworked
Comptroller's Office, which will
| find itself loaded with new bur-
dens as a result of the change.

How the NYC Retirement System Works

In previous issues, The LEADER has presented an analysis of

the operations and setup of the New York City Employees’ Retire-
ment System, prepared by Ralph L, Van Name, secretary of the
System. In this section, Mr. Van Name continues his description of

Mayor Concerned
About Red Tape
Faced by Vets

‘The problem of the veteran re-
turning to his NYC job was be
fore the Municipal Civil Seryice
Commission again last week, The
weekly calendar of the Commis-
ston noted that a letter had been
received “Prom the Office of the
Mayor, Matter of investigation
Prior to apointment of discharged
veterans.”

Action on the letter was held
over until next week, However,
it is known that the Mayor is
against the present red-tape faced
by veterans who return and ask
for thelr City jobs. This was
brought to his attention in the
cases of Patrolmen Carlson and
Murray, by Selective Service di-
rector Colonel Arthur V, McDer-
mott,

Facing a Liability

In contrast to the four funds pre-
viously described; this is both an
accumulating and a disbursing
fund, It operates solely in re-
spect to employees credited with
service before the system began
operation. Unavoidably, this fund
would begin operation with a huge
deficit except for legally required
actuarial appraisal of its finan-
| cial liability on account of all
service rendered by members be-

dinary and accidental death bene-

Eventually, on the decease of
| the last member credited with
service before the System began
| operation and his beneficiary, the
Pension Fund will cease to exist
and the Retirement System will
be left with its accumulating say-
ing and its accumulating insur-
ance fund and with its two dis-
bursing furids, one on account of
employees’ contributions and the

the other on account of city-
contributions.

was the legality of the ten ap-

is necessary to pay the premiums

Every ex-member of the|

tant that you keep a record of it
and of other such records—such
as originals or Jegal copies of nec-
essary papers—in a safe place
where they can always be found.
The reason is simple. Claims |
and requests for benefits will usu- |
ally require certain information, |
such as a man's Army or Marine
Corps serial number, Navy file or
service number, details of his dis-
charge and, in some cases, proof |
of the relationship of dependents. |

tion of giving each school one |

opinion was that this system was
contrary to the “merit and ft-

instances where the courts have
ruled that appointments made in
disregard to the merit and fitness

The court also dismissed the ar-

The petitioner, a Principal
Welfare Accountant, in the State
Department of Social Welfare,
was laid off upon the abolition of |
his position. 1t was brought out
that the work of this employee |
was to be done by an employee
holding the non-competitive posi-
tion of Senior Welfare Accounts |
Consultant, which, although tech-
nically different from Principal
Welfare Accountant, wes found

|to involve substantially the same
| work. Although the noncompeti-

tive position was later abolished, |
the court held that this did not
alter the fact that the competitive |
position had been abolished in bad |
faith, The evidence ig the fact
that the ition was abolished
with the intent of using a non-
competitive employee to do the
work, and that the work remained
to be done and that the depart-
ment had funds for the abolished
position,

The issue then was whether
the petitioner had cause for re-
lief in view of the fact that the
non-competitive position was util-
mately abolished. Here the court's
redsoning went beyond any pre-
vious decision, The courts have
always held it ts bad faith to

Queried on War Activities

Employees of the NYC Department of Public Works are carrying
ground a mimeographed set of questions which was handed to them,
wondering what it’s all about, and why they, off all City employees,
were selected for a quiz about their war-supporting activities. How:

ever, they needn't worry-

it only means their department is acting a

fittle more efficiently than some others,

A while ago, Mayor LaGuardia

mt a letter around to his com-

issioners in which he had an
idea. He wanted each department
tp collect data on the home front
activities of its employees, then
send him the statistics, so that
he could make the war record of
New York City employees a part
of the permanent archives of the
City.
* Apparently, most City depart- |
ments pul the letter in their “file
and forget,” or “future business’
files. In Department of Public
Works, Commissioner Irving V. A.
Hule immediately prepared a set
of questions and had them dis-
tributed to all his employees.

A department spokesman says
fts too bad that some employees
misunderstood the whole business, |
added that, in any event it isn’t)

Talk Back to Politicians!

Ti: LINE which heads this editorial has been the

theme of statements appearing in The LEADER for

the past four weeks,

We think that you, as a public employee, should heed
this line, if you haven't already, This is the time of year
you have most political influence. Use it! This is one time
when listening to you becomes a political MUST to the
candidate running for public office. So tell the chap who
wants your vote what you want from him, Make certain
you understand precisely where he stands on issues that
concern you,

We've been asked why we don’t endorse candidates
for office. .

We deem it our duty to speak out vigorously on issues,
to divulge what we consider wrong in public service, to
give you all the facts we can gather. Throughout the
year we praise or condemn public figures on the basis of
their achievements or lack of them—not because of their
politics. But the actual selection of candidates is a matter
we don’t think it our business to do for you, That is your
busin and important business, too.

We do permit candidates to express themselves
through our pages. Last week, we gave up most of our
editorial page so that Senator Robert F. Wagner and
Thomas J, Curran, running for the United States Senate,
might have their on civil service—unedited. Perhaps
next week we will give similar space to-both candidates
for the Presidency to discuss civil service: we've invited
them to do so, Also, we accept paid advertising from
candidates and parties. But it is our policy not to*take
sides as among candidates. We do not endorse candids
or parties so that we may be independent and impar
in matters of public interest and in working toward the
establishment of the highest ethics for the civil service.

To our readers we advise, however, again and again:
Talk back to the politicians! Be sure they understand
what you want. Be sure they understand the extent of
your political strength, This is one time you'll make an
impression on them!

POLICE CALLS

It Was a Tough Fight
But NYC Cops Won

It took lots of publicity, pressure from New York City Selective
Service Headquarters, and threats of a Jawsuit, but finally Patrolmen
Walter J. Carlson and Frank Murray haye won their fight to remain
on the Police Force

It all started months back, |
when the records of probationary
patrolmen Carlson and Murray
were checked by the Municipal
Civil Service Commission's Inves-
tigation Bureau and it was found
that they had both been given
medical discharges from the
Army. The Commission promptly
culled them in and gave them
medical examinations, then ruled
that they weren't fit, physical):
to be cops. This, although th
had passed Police Department e:
aminations and had been passed

istration for classification as dis-
abled veterans, offered them jobs
as Court Attendant ‘at $1,800 a
year), or Investigator at $1,500),

They refused the offer and by
this time, Arthur V. McDermott,
local Selective Service head, had
become interested in the case. He
wrote to the Commission and the
Mayor, even offered to go into
Court to represent the two men.

HE HAS a double barreled job
with the City of New York. Ed-
ward Joseph Smith describes his
position as chief auditor of ac-
counts of the Comptroller's Office:
“This bureau has to check every

penny spent by the City depart- |

ments, whether it’s to buy a needle
or an anchor, to make sure that
the expenditure is legal and has
gone through the proper proced-
ure.”

The 300 employees working un-
der Mr, Smith have the job of
safeguarding the municipal pock-
etbook, and in addition, have to
protect the Comptroller's personal
Pocketbook, The law requires that
when a Comptroller assumes his
position, he has to deposit a
bond of $250,000 as a guarantee
to protect the City funds which
he hands out, For instance, if the
City pays out money illegally, any
taxpayer could bring legal action
and, if he wins the case, the Comp-
troller’s bond has to make good,

Not One Lawsuit

of the auditing offices, not a sin-
gle lawsuit has been brought

way, The death of his fath
while he was still very young,
made it necessary for him t@
“register in the school of exper-
fence,” as he describes it, In 190@
he took a job with the Comptrolt
ler's Office as a junior clerk at
9540 a year. i
He was quick to realize the pos~
sibilities of advancement and slow-
ly worked his way up, until he
became a Grade 5 Clerk, hi
in the City service, which carri
no salary limit,

What He Does

While his title sounds as though
his job might mean some fancy
accounting work, he is largely
concerned with administrative yr
personnel matters, although hi
long experience has made him an
expert on all provisions of the
City Charter and Administrative
Code which concern City expen-
ditures,

He supervises the activities of
six bureaus in the Comptroller's
Office: Administration, Audits and
Examination, Inspection, Central
Payroll, Refunds, and Public
Works Administration, which deals

About Federal
Efficiency Ratings
SIRS: I have been asked by

several employees whose Federal
civil service ranges from 20 to 30
years, to write your paper for an
answer to the following:

Is there NOTHING at all in the
regulations on making efficiency
ratings that takes into considera
tion the factors of long service or
seniority? » Not even the Unie
nt, for hav-
service against
vee having only,
say, 5 years’ service?

It seems that, if there is not,
then there should be one imme-
diately embodied in these ef.
ciency regulations! For here is
what is happening: These long-
service-employees are being given
a lower rating than they got for
many previous years—either de-
priving them automatically of
the next within-grade promotion
by giving them just “Good" (they
being past the middle steps of
their respective grade); also sub-
Jecting them to losing their pref-
erence of being retained upon re-
duction in force. The rules for
reduction in force given by Civil
Service Commission state that ef-
ficiency marks wil count up, so
that a NEW employee could be
retained over a 30-YEAR em-
ployee if he or she were given
‘EXCELL T” plus other mart:
ings and the totals outweigh the
senior employees.

Is this legal? How are the sen-
ior employees protected against
losing their within-grade promp-
tions, even after 30-years service,
when a supervisor suddenly
chooses to cut their customary
rating down to merely “good?
Would you like to see justice done
for old-time employees by trying
to get efficiency rules to cover
seniority factors if it does not
do it already?

6.7. B
The New York Office of the
Civil Service Commission told a
LEADER reporter that the assign-
ment of service ratings is handled

entirely within the agencies. AN
the Connnission can do is make
sure that the rules and regulations
regarding Reduction in Force and
Promotions are followed.—Editor,

Retire Whi
Sull Young? :

Sirs: I read the articles which
‘The LEADER carried on the New

York City pension system with
considerable interest. ‘

But there is one weakness in the
City pension plan which I think
deserves attention, Now, retiree
ment is reached by choosing the

retirement age and making pay-
ments accordingly, But there is nd
way in which an employee may re=
tire on service. Other pension sys=
tems provide for retirement after
25 or 30 years. The young person
who enters the City service, say,
at age 20, faces a 35-year stretche

juntil he can retire at 55,

The Police Department pension
fund allows retirement by service>
I think many other City employees
would be glad to pay a higher
vate and be able to retire while
they are still young enough to get
the most out of their retirements

Fs The Annual Meeting

THE 1944 ANNUAL MEETING of the Association of State Civil
Service Employees, in the 35th year of its existence, is now history.
It was a most interesting and productive meeting. ‘The di ions
heard on the many important subjects now before State employees,
“were well presented, full of good judgment, and indicated the type
of thinking that is being done for the benefit of State service gen-
erally, Such statements as ‘the finest civil service laws” the “highest
Spay scales" the “best classification of positions in this nation” show
the just pride that employees have in their civil service protection.
We heard from many specialists in State service, including our State
‘Comptroller Frank C. Moore.

Program of Work Adopted

a NEW OFFICERS and members of our executve committee were
elected and took office. A program of work was adopted through the
resolutions submitted and adopted. We start a new year fraught with
anger to State service from several angles—proposed consfitutional
Amendment to extend complete preference to all veterans—amend-
ments to our retirement law—amendments to our career civil service
daw—and many others.

Reconversion to peacetime conditions faces us with all of its
ores of new pressure, so-called modern thinking in government,

of all kinds. We must be absolutely alert in combating these
extremists who will surely make themselves heard.

AS I LOOK BACK over the entire meeting, which lasted from

Z am impressed by the fact that almost without exception the prob-
Tems discussed were group problems—problems of a hospital, of a
school, of a prison, or of large groups of field employees. I remember
‘only one instance where an individual problem was discussed. The
point I wish to make ts the desire and intention of all delegates to
present the problems of the members of the chapter they were sent
do represent. And they did it in a manner that brings credit to them-
selves and their chapters.
Topic of Conversation
ONE OF THE TOPICS of conversation that T encountered as I

mingled with the delegates, between the scheduled discussons, was
the attempt of outside organizations to recruit membership among
Btate employees. I found a complete Iack of concern ,about this, Our
whapter representatives and officers made such comments as these:
"Yes, they (the organizers of these unions) have been at our hospital
but when I asked them by what means they would settle our diffi-
Lulties of salary, title, maintenance charges, sick leave, classification,
etc., they had no satisfactory plan, no plan that even approaches the
program of our own association—Result, no members transferred
from our chapter to the union.”

F T have full confidence that the State employees generally, being
the intelligent, clear-thinking, sound citizens that they are, will
ontinue thelr confidence in and their support of ther own organi-
ation, the one they helped to build, whose policies are established
by its members, whose income is used solely and entirely to promote
he welfare of New York State employees and not directed to other
‘groups, other States, to salaries of national or international officers.

‘The future of our Association is assured, The welfare of New

York State employees will continue to be the only concern of its
‘non-salaried officers and other workers,

Marks

UNDER THE ABOVE heading
will appear from time to time
‘quotations from articles of inter-
est to civil service employees, su-
pervisors and administrators, It
is hoped that these quotations will
lead the reader to consult the or-
-Aginal sources cited.

Annual Vacation Leave

“Tf leave is thought of as an
“mportant part of a positive per-
sonnel program, than the operat-
ing agency should insist generally
“that employees actually take their
vacation leave for vacation pur-
posess, Analysis of leave taken in
“both public and private employ-
ment indicates that employees in
zthe higher salary ranges consis-
tantly take less of their annual
vacation leaye than do those in
the lower ranges. It is not un-
“usual to find people in respon-
sible positions in the public ser-
jvice who have had no vacations
beyound the occasional ‘Saturday
off’ within a period of from two}
‘to five years, These are the peo-
ple who frequently suffer most
from lack of a vacation and should
be required to take it regularly,

+ .“The central personnel agency

/should recognize that by far the
greater part of personnel work
aust be performed through the

management of the operating
@gencies, and that detailed, re-
strictive controls over leave ad-
ministration cannot compensate
inadequate supervision,
Through @ program of education,
the central personnel agency can
bring supervisors to understand
the benefits to be derived from an
adequate leave program and the
«need for uniformity in its admin-
istration, It should encourage the
Pperating agencies to adopt uni-
form practices covering leave, in-
Gluding the extent of leave that|

should be taken at one time, and |
provisions for staggering vacation
schedules, In addition, the cen-
tral personnel agency can do its
share toward securing proper ad~-
ministration of the program by
recruiting temporary assistance to
replace employees on leave.” At-
tendance and Leave in the Public
Service, by Elmer B, Statts and
Robert C, Sampson in Public Per-
sonnel Review for July, 1944)

Public Service Training

“Many tangible results have
been realized through vocational
education in-service training pro-
gram for public employees, Ef-
ficiency in public office has been
improved, lives have been saved,
fire loss reduced, crime and de-
Hnquency curbed, Less tangible,

though no less important, results)
raising of employee |

have been
morale, opening the door of op-
portunity to advancement.

“The adequacy of a training
program can be measured by such
factors as existing training needs,

| The appointment is defended by
the Civil Service Commission on
the ground that a man with busi-
ness experience is required for
| the post, and that Mr. Harcourt
| has that experience.

The appointment was denoun-
ced last week by two organiza-
tions—the Civil Service Reform
Association and the Association
of State Civil Service Employees
|—on the ground that Mr. Harcourt
is not qualified and represents a
political apointment.

Association Resolution

The action of the State Associ-
ation came on October 17, at a
State-wide meeting of its dele-
gates in Albany. The group passed
@ resolution couched in some of
the toughest language yet used
in describing an appointment.
The resolution:
| “Whereas the position of assist~
ant administrative director in the
| department of civil service, is,
next to the administrative di-
rector himself, the most important
administrative position in the de-
partment, and whereas, this posi-
tion, which pays $6700-$8200, has
been put in the competitive class
and carries the responsibility of
administrative civil service prin-
ciples throughout the State, and
whereas, this position has been
filled without examination by the
appointment of an individual who
has indicated no practical knowl-
edge whatsoever of public person-
nel administration, no demon-
strated qualifications and no ex-
perience to fit him for this re-
sponsible post,

“Now, therefore, be it resolved
that the Association condemns

service standards which tends to
undermine the confidence in the
merit system and casts doubt
upon the good faith and integrity

Pay Rehearings,

ALBANY—Among resolutions

this appointment as a flagrant |
repudiation of established civil)

| of its administration by the State
Civil Service Commission.”

|. Coming upon the heels of the
letter from the Civil Service Re-
form group, this resolution will in
| all probability have the effect of
throwing the Harcourt appoint-
ment under the spotlight of Al-
bany political search,

mmission’s View

A spokesman for the State

| Commission told The LEADER
|that the agency had long been
| searching for an employee to help
| Charles Campbell, the adminis-
trative director, who is over-
burdened with work, In making
|the selection of Mr, Harcourt,
this spokesman said, the Commis.
sion was guided by the considera-
tion “that we wanted a man who
could cut through red tape, could
look at our problems with a fresh
eye and help us solve them as a
| businessman would. There are
plenty of Ph.D.'s and ‘personnel
| experts,’ but that’s not the kind
of man we were looking for. We
| expect Mr. Harcourt to pick up
the technical aspects of his work
as he goes along.”

»Referring to the letter of the
| Civil Service Reform Association,
signed by Charles C, Burlingham,
the official interviewed by The
LEADER sald: “Why didn’t they
come to us and get the facts be-
fore shooting off that letter?
Why didn't they check with us
on Mr, Harcourt’s qualifications?”

Take Grave View of Letter

aware of the importance of the
| letter, the contents of which had
been unanimously passed upon by
the distinguished executive board
of the Civil Service Reform As-
sociation. That letter commented,
in passing, upon two other ap-
pointments, that of Dorothy
Smith, secretary of the depart-
ment; and J. Earl Kelly, direc-
tor of classification. Judge J. Ed-
ward Conway, President of the
Commission, points out that the
letter contains an error in fact
concerning the appointment of
Miss Smith. She is not, says Con-
| Way, secretary to the Civil Service
|Commission, but to the Civil
Service Department, The distinc-

ation must be given to obtain the

Albany sources say that Har-
court’s appointment was engi-
neered by Kenneth 8. MacAffer,
Republican leader f Albany
County, The LEADER at press
time has not been able to verify
these reports.

Burlingham’s Letter

The letter of the Civil Service
Reform Association, signed by Mr.
| Burlingham, follows:
|. “The Association is disturbed
| by the recent action of the State
Civil Service Commission in ap-
| pointing to the new position of
Assistant Administrative Director,
with a salary of $6,700, a person
whose experience and background,
as outlined in the press, indicates
no practical knowledge of public
personnel administration and no
outstanding qualifications of any
sort for this responsible post.

“We understand that this ap-
pointment has been made on a
provisional basis, We assume
therefore, that the record and
qualifications of the new incum-
bent meet with what the Com-
mission has determined to be the
prerequisites for permanent ap-
and foreshadow what
the Commission will require for
admission to the competitive ex-

pointment,

amination which will be held
later.
“Low Standard”
“If this is so, we believe the

Commission has set an unduly low
standard for this responsible ad-
| ministrative position, which may
be interpreted by other depart-
{ments of the State government
and by municjpal agencies ser-
viced by the Civil Service De-
partment as an indication of what
the Commission deems a proper
standard for high positions gen-
erally.
| “The dubious selection in this
|particular instance, following
equally dubious apointments to
the positions of Secretary to the
Commission and Director of Class-
ification, indicate an alarming
tendency to fill the key positions
on the Commission’s staff with
persons of meager experience and
no demonstrated fitness for these
specialized positions, Unless the
Commission can find appointees
who are, through past experience
and demonstrated ability in the
personnel field, genuinely qual-
ified for these places, economy
alone would seem to dictate that
they be left vacant at this time,
“The selection of a poorly qua}-
ified administrator in an operat-
ing department of the State gov-
ernment can hardly be condoned;
the selection of a poorly qualified
person—especially jf based ap-
parently on political qualifi¢ations
for the staff of the personnel
| agency which itself is responsible
| for recruiting for operating de-
partments, is inexcusable, It
raises unfortunate doubts as to
the competence and integrity of
the administration of the civil
service system by the Civil Ser-
vice Commission.”

The Care and Feeding

Of Future Politicians

By HAROLD F. BURNWORTH
Purchasing Agent, Pittsburgh, Pa,

NO COLLEGE in the United
States has ever advertised a
course of study designed tg pro-
duce a United States Senator.
Regardless of how violently Mr.
Citizen squirmed when he lost
that “edge” in the tariff, or paid
his income tax, or had to vote
for either one of two bad can-
didates, or took time off to en-
tertain the horde of Federal In-
vestigators, he never petitioned
his alma mater to include such
@ course in the curriculum, He
forgets that public administra-
tion is unlike business, A public
Official cannot set up an assem-
bly line, press a button, and
make a bin-full of good govern-
ment.

Colleges and universities
throughout our land represent
every Important political sub-
division, every local problem. and
every blood and creed. Friendly
hostility between these schools
is celebrated every Fall,—but
around the gridiron, not the
political table. Has the time
come for re-appraisal of college
activities?

Active Participation

It is no accident that preparg-
tion for active participation in
government has not entered
American colleges and universi-
ties, For many years the subject
of practical polities has been an
object of scorn and derision
among undergraduates, The very
Tare boy who flirted with politics
@s a profession was the black
sheep of the class, and should he

later be found haranguing the
crowd from the top of a soap-
“box, he had forever lost the
esteem of his classmates, In-
structors who, duririg their less
mature years, had ventured
Slightly too near the political
hot-box and received a thorough
singeing, did not hesitate to ad-
vise their students privately to
stay away from two things—
politics and government jobs!
They emphasized the low char-
acter of the former and the high
risk of the latter. So we had to
take an honest and capable old
family doctor and make him into
an incompetent Senator.

Laboratory for Politics

Somewhere in the American
Social system there exists some
agency that represents the most
logical laboratory for practical
politics. Everywhere there are
boys and girls who are neither
cowards nor scoundrels, What
formula can we devise that will
prevent all of the best from be-
ing skimmed off into private
pursuits, private pursuits that
depend on orderly, efficient and
capable government? Where can
we discuss controversial subjects
and come to just conclusions
without passion and without
prejudice?

Take college people of Amer-
fea today as a class and you will
find no other group so firmly
related to a favorable back-
ground and so helpless in poli-
tical affairs. Capital and labor,
wets and drys, farmers and man-

with greater safety commit her
destinies, particularly at a time
when it would appear that world

conditions require a new genera-
tion of men? The training of
our future leaders must become
more scigntific,

Water Softening
On "Must" List
For Many Cities

Over 400 cities in the United
States are softening their water
supplies. But many other cities
have this down as & “must” on
their postwar construction pro=
grams.

In most cities with hard water,
the citizens feel that they are
entitled to “soft water as a
municipal service. Statistics show
that the savings in soap alone
usually amount to about three
times the cost of water softening,
This, in spite of the fact that
only a portion of the water soft~
ened is used with soap. Many
other savings are affected. The
life of washable garments is ex-
tended. Heaters, hot water pip-
ing, fixtures, etc., do not clog up
with scale. Therefore, there is a
saving in clothes, fuel, repairs
and replacement.

Outweighing the economic fac
tors involved is the fact that a
municipal water softening plant
makes a city a much more com=
fortable place in which to live,

The Spaulding Precipitator
represents one of the latest de-
velopments in lime soda water
softening. In this, by bringing
the treated water in contact with
suspended precipitates, results
are achieved which, the makers
say, are impossible with the older
types of lime soda water softe
eners,

In an adjoining column, a
cross-sectional view shows the
water flow through the Permutit
Spiractor, Complete information
on water-softening problems may

Myths and Truths About NYS Retirement System

By FRANK C, MOORE
Comptroller, Sate of New York

The material which follows is part of an address which Mr.
Moore delivered to delegates of the Association of State Civil Service
Employees, in Albany on October 17, It is vital material jor every
New York State administrato? and employee. *

THE MEMBERS of the Retire-
ment System are entitled, at all
times, to prompt, accurate and
complete information as to its
workings, particularly in regard
to their individual rights and
privileges and the moneys they
have invested in it, Such infor-
mation should be made available
courteously and clearly, in plain
language. It should not be sup-
plied through form _ letters
phrased in the professional
“lingo” so few of us can in-
terpret

As a step toward a better un-
derstanding of the System, I ini-
tiated, early in 1943, a revision
of the laws pertaining to it. Com-
petent counsel was employed to
rewrite these statutes in words
which would reveal rather than
conceal their meaning, but with-
out impairing the rights guar-
anteed to the members under the
Constitution,

Myths

Some careless persons have re-
ferred to the reserve funds of the
Retirement System as a surplus
available for the payment of ad-
ditional benefits. That is a myth.
Every penny in the reserve fund
is required to pay to the mem-
bers the benefits we have already
promised them.

It has been said that it costs
& member 10 per cent to borrow
his own money from the System
because he pays 6 per cent inter-
est upon the money borrowed
and he loses 4 per cent interest
on the funds withdrawn. This is
another myth.

The total cost to the member
is 6 per cent, Of this sum, 2 per
cent is retained by the System
4s an administrative charge and
the other 4 per cent is credited
to the member's own account.
When the loan is fully repaid,
the member's fund is In the same
position as it would have been if
he had made no loan,

Is is @ fact, however, that in

we ik C, Moore heads New York
Audit ond

the year which ended June 30,
1944, the System derived approx!-
mately $110,000 from administra-
tive charges upon loans to its
members. This income is applied
to the payment of the adminis-
trative expenses of the System,
including the loan service.

It is no myth that the provi-
sions of Sections 62 and 68 of
the Civil Service Law (commonly
known as the thirty-day provi-
sions) have worked real hard
ships in certain cases, Continu-
ous discussion for twenty years
has not yet revealed the solution
of this problem, But by the
studies we have initiated, we
hope to find the means of at

least partially relieving the harsh
effect of these provisions,

Financial Problems

Tt is also a fact that the System
has been confronted for some
time with two serious financial
problems.

From thé beginning, members
were promised by statute a 4 per
cent return upon their contri-
butions, Favorable money rates
enabled the Comptroller, from
1921 to 1936, to obtain an aver-
age return of better than 4 per
cent from the investment of the
founds of the System. The high
point was reached in 1934. Since
then, however, the trend has
been steadily downward. As older
bonds bearing high interest rates
mature and the Comptroller is
obliged to re-invest the proceeds
in new obligations bearing much
lower interest rates, the situa-
tion becomes progressively worse.

In three of the last four years,
the State has credited the mem-
bers of the System with more
interest upon their contributions
than it has been able to earn
from the obligations in which
their moneys are invested,

In 1941, for the first time, the
investments of the Retirement
System fatled to produce a 4 per
cent return, The deficit, how-
ever, amounted to merely $6,400.
Last year, the deficit was $604,-
883—or almost 100 times as
great, If the present low money
rates continue, and there Is every
indication that they will, this an-
nual deficit will increase each
year and will amount to approxi~
pay $4,000,000 in the year

Tt is estimated that the State
and municipalities will be re-
quired to make an additional
contribution of $20,000,000 to
meet this deficit in the next
decade.

To prevent still larger deficits,
it was necessary last year, to re-
duce from 4 per cent to 3 per
cent the interest return to new
members joining the System af-
ter June 30, 1943,

Reserves

The second financial problem
also concerns our reserves. Our
Retirement System 1s now using
the same mortality tables

adopted when the System was
established in 1921, although the
statute requires the Comptroller
to review the tables every five
years, These old tables ignore the
simple fact that people now live
longer than they did in 1921.

By using these obsolete tables,
the System has failed to make’
adequate provision in its pension
and annuity reserves for the pay~
ment of a retirement allowance
over the longer life of the aver-
age of today.

You may also anticipate the
adoption of new and modern ac-
tuarial tables in the near future.

Increased Contributions

Because of declining yield
from investments and the longer
expectancies of individual life,
the Retirement System can main-
tain its present benefits only
through increased contributions.

Kenngott in Charge

To direct the activities of the
Division, I have recently assigned
Mr, Edwin B. Kenngott, Deputy
Comptroller, formerly in charge
of the Municipal Affairs Division.

Thanks to him, we are now
matling out to each member of the
System a new form of annual
statement. By using photostatic
copies of the ledger cards, in
stead of uninformative printed
slips, we will not only furnish
each member with complete de-
tails of his financial account but
will also reduce the expense of
our annual statements by more
than one-half,

No Compromise

In the spirit of fairness and
frankness, may I make clear
to you that, ax administrative
head of the Retirement System,
I do not intend to compromise
»»» Principles, Before the bene-
fits of the System are increased,
thelr cost must be definitely de-
termined and provided for on the
reserve basis. We must always
maintain reserves adequate to
meet our liabilities as they ac-
erue,

In benefits provided, our Sys-
tem compares very favorably
with the other retirement sys-
tems in this country, If some
other system Js a little more get
erous in one respect, ib 45 Usu-

ally much less generous in an~
other, New York State and its
municipalities have not
niggardly in their suport. They
contribute @ larger percentage of
payroll than most employers pay
under other governmental and
private pension plans.

For example, the State and the
participating municipalities make
a “normal” contribution on
count of member service, In ad-
dition, they make a “deficlency”
contribution for the service of
the member rendéred prior to the
time at which he became eligible
to join the System. A third con-
tribution is made by the State
and the municipalities for ad-
ministrative expense, no part of
which is paid from members’
contributions.

The State and the municipall~
ties are now being called upon
for additional payments to cover
deficits in interest earned as
compared with interest credited
to the members.

Association Charges

Within the last month, a Com-
mittee of the Association of State
Civil Service Employees has rec
ommended eleven shanges in
the benefits of the Retirement
System.

We have completed the analy-
sis of one. As point 4 of its pro-
gram, the Association recom-
mends a separation or vesting
benefit for members who with-
draw from the System before
they reach retirement age, but
after substantial periods of ser-
vice. If this particular benefit
had been in effect during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1944,
our actuaries estimate that it
would have cost the State and
participating municipalities that
year at least $600,000. In addi+
tion, it would be necessary to ine
crease our reserve funds by ap=
proximately $9,000,000 to pro=
vide for accrued lability on ace
count of present members of the
System.

You will observe that it would
be necessary to substantially in
crease the income of the System
to provide this single additional
benefit,

superintendent, declared that so-called frost-proof toilets often carry
disease germs to the water main because they have the ability to
work themselves into the mains against pressure up to 160 pounds.

TOLEDO, OHIO, HAS BEEN GIVING consideration to the idea
of manning police cars equipped with two-way radios with only one
police officer in order to get both wider and more concentrated
coverage by the police force. The plan cannot be put in operation
because motor cars are not available, Scout cars and radio equip-
ment will, however, be obtainable for municipalities in the very
near future, according to reliable reports.

SELF-PAYING SEWAGE SERVICE and refuse collection is
contemplated by an ordinance adopted by the City Council of Sunny-
side, Washington, which provides that every building In the city must
be connected with the cily owned sewage system, and all building
owners must utilize the city garbage collection system. Rates and
charges for these services will provide funds to retire a bond indebt-
edness of $85,000 and additional facilities will then be installed,

Sanitary Deficiencies
Offer Postwar Challenge and Village

RECENT studies by the U. §. Public Health Service indicate that

present deficiencies in water supply, sewage disposal,

and other

sanitary facilities in many urban and rural areas throughout the
United States now threaten the health of millions and cause huge

financial loss each year.

Many communities are ex-
pected to take steps to remedy
these conditions as soon as sup-
plies of labor and materials are
available.

New sanitation facilities which
would cost an estimated total of
three and a half billion dollars,
but would soon repay for them-
selves in savings of health and
economic loss, are needed accord-
ing_to the Government survey.

The latest report, covering
rural homes, shows that 5,000,-
000 rural homes are either with-
out for need) new water sup-
plies. This condition could be
remedied for about $265,000,000.
In addition, another two hun-
dred million could be used to im-
prove existing water systems in
the 4,683 communities which now

have sub-standard or insufficient
Public water supply systems.

Sewage Disposal Calls for
2 Billion

An inventory of the public sew-
age needs In various States indi-
cated that there is need for
$2,225,150,000 worth of new or
additional sewers and sewage
treatment, systems, Engineers of
the Public Health Service esti-
mete that the annual cost of
water pollution is more than one
hundred million dollars, and that
saving of this amount by pollu-
tion abatement would, over a pe-
riod of years, very nearly pay
for all the sewage treatment
needs of every community of
more than 200 inhabitants in the
United States.

New Gauge on Crane
Cuts Accident Toll

A NEW device to protect crane operators and other employees,

has been developed by the General Electric Compa’

A gauge—the

size of a package of clgarettes—guards against accidents which delay
jobs and ruin hard-to-replace equipment,

As described by J. P, Smith,
Industrial Engineering Division,
General Electric:

“Every craneman knows the
difficulty of determining the
weight he is to handle and the
radius at which he can swing
the boom, If he is overcautious,
he hesitates to handle loads that
the crane can safely manage, and
thereby slows the works. If he
becomes overzealous and picks up
more than the crane can handle,
he runs the risk of overturning
the crane, ruining material and
tosing lives.

“This gauge has removed the
necessity for guesswork in crane
operation. Now, by glancing at an
indicating instrument, the op-
erator can determine whether he
is safe, or getting out of bounds,
It is possible even to interlock
the crane-stability gauge with
the electric controls of the crane
in such @ way that the operator
will automatically be prevented
from lowering the boom or hoist-
ing the load if the gauge indi-
cates an overload,

“The load causes stretch of one
of the crane's structural mem-
bers to which the magnetic

strain gauge is attached. This
stretch is measured accurately
by the gauge in changing of the
gauge’s .005-inch air gap, which
in turn causes movement of a
pointer over the five-ineh scale
of the instrument near the op-
erator.

Measures Boom Angle

“The boom-angle compensa-
tor, which measures the boom
angle, constantly corrects the
reading as the radius changes,
Thus, the operator knows, at any
radius, when he is handling his
maximum safe load,

Advantages of the gauge are
indicated as:

1, Gives operator a continuous
accurate indication of crane sta-
bility at all times,

2, Prevents unsafe eration
by giving an alarm autorhatically
when the load limit is reached,

3. Measures crane — stability
whether the load is stationary
or in motion.

An Idea—Cops

Pinch Hit as Firemen

Here's an idea which many
small communities might con-
sider.

Why can’t policemen pinch hit
as firemen, where thy manpower
shortage is such as to make it
difficult to recruit enough men
to fill both types of positions?

Several municipalities find this
a tisfactory permanent con-
solidation, the International City
Managers Association reports.

For example, Huntington
Woods, Mich, population 3,000,

has had 12 years successful ex- _

perience with the same personnel
serving as policemen and fire~
men. The public safety force
consists of the chief, four men
and two part-time employees.
The chief is on duty daily except
Sundays during city hall hours
and is on call at any time. The
four men work in pairs, 2+ hours
on and 24 hours off, and alter-
nate every six hours between
patrol duty in a two-way radio
car and inside duty,
How It Works

The man on patrol ts pri-
marily @ policeman but responds
to fire calls upon radio contact,
The inside man acts as fireman
responding to fire calls with the
fire truck, being met at the fire
by the patrol car.

In case of a serious fire the
public works employees are
called by siren in the daytime
and phone at night and receive
the pay of volunteer firemen,
‘The part-time employees are
high school or college students
who work on alternate nights to
take phone calls and be at the
station in the absence of the
regular. man, The city also has a
stand-by agreement with the ad-
joining city of Royal Ook but has

never had to call for help.

Proved Satisfactory

This plan of assigning fire and
police work to the same men has
proved satisfactory in this small
residential suburb which has 900
single-family residences and no
business district, the association
said. Fire loss for the last six
years totals $5,025.

The police problem is simple,
speeding being the most common
cause of arrest. Burglaries are
few, and there are no homicides.
In 1943 the cost of police and
fire service was $16,730 or $5.77
per capita,

Other small Michigan cities
having combined police and fire
functions in the same personnel
are Cadillac, Centerline, East De-~
troit, East Grand Roanicde East
Lansing, Grosse Pointe Shores,
Ludington, Portland, Roseville,
St. Clair Shores and Sturgis.

What to Look for When

Selecting Sewage Pumps

THE PURCHASE of sewage
pumps rarely gets the attention
it deserves. Perhaps one reason is
that these pumps are handling
waste matter, and the commun-
ity is primarily interested in get-
ting rid of the waste matter in
the simplest and cheapest way
possible—that any old thing
which will do the work at the
lowest price is plenty good
enough,

Contrast this attitude with the
painstaking attention given to
the purchase of a water-supply
system, or to an important func-
as that performed by

There are no standards what-
soever for sewage pumps. The
offering of a manufacturer is
left to his own judgment, and
specifications are often written
by inexperienced persons, Sew-
age pumps and many drainage
pumps quite frequently are pur-
chased by inexperienced laymen
on competitive bids. Low price
always counts heavily, with not
enough importance attached to
the vital role sewage pumps play
in the health of the community.

Consider these points—There
axe certain points to consider in
the purchase of a sewage pump,
as in any other important piece
of merchandise. If these points
are brought to the attention of
the buyer and used in the puy-
chase of the equipment, it’s ten
to one the community will pur-
chase # pump that will probably

give it long years of service in-
stead of one that lt probably
be replaced in a few rs. These
points are listed in order of im-
portance:

1, Knowledge of the applica-
tion.

2. Capacity of the pump to
pass large solids and handle raw
sewage.

3. Speed as related to operat-
ing head, Abnormally high head
requirements will, In most cases,
require 1750 rpm motors for
average sewage pump capacity,
On the other hand, high speeds
for low heads will frequently
mean a noisy pump and short
life.

What may be a high speed for
one pump would be a low speed
for another. But by and large,
if the selection ts made on the
slowest practical speed for the
head condition, there is an as-
surance of good service from the
pumping equipment,

4, Accessories. Type of lubrica-
tion: motor and pump supports,
etc, All of these are small items,
but if not considered in the pur-
chase of equipment can certainly
be an annoyance to the operator
and a deferrent to the proper
operation of the unit, As a rule,
a clear and complete set of speci-

fications can handle these details
i properly checked with the
bidders,

5. Price is last consideration—
Often a community will pur-

chase a pump disregarding one
or more of the five factors listed
above, and as a result needless
expense is incurred, far beyond
the difference in first cost,
Much of the heavy expense in-
volved in the operation of the
pumping units is very often
caused by faulty selection. To
illustrate: Too often a com
ity will purchase a small s
pump, one to handle 75 to 100
amp, or a sufficient capacity
to handle the flow from a com-
munity of 160 to 200 familles.
From the beginning the pump is
@ constant source of trouble from
clogging, with pump shut-downs
and backing up of gravity mains.
Here is a complete disregard of

factor number one—knowledge
of an application; or factor
number two-—capacity of the
pumps to pass large enough
solids,

To sum up, two. standards
stand out as essential in choos-
ing sewage pumps that will give
efficient, trouble free service.

1. Know al) the facts about
the job which the pumps will be
called upon to do.

2. Recognize, that on equip-
ment of this kind, the only
guarantee worth anything is the
name and reputation of a manu-
facturer who knows his business,

Yeomans Brothers Company,
main offices at 1433 Dayton St.
Chicago 22, Ilinois, has repre-
sentatives in 48 cities throughout
the country who can help com-
munities with their pumping
problems. It is considered a re-
liable manufacturing firm.
Among installations of the man-
ufacturer are Long Beach, Cal-
ifornin; Ardmore, Pennsylvania,
Ralway Valley, New Jersey and
Greenwood, Mississippi,

While we are counting these as

the theory that the appeals in the
first instance were misdirected.
The Director of the Budget has
accepted practically every recom-

not otherwise be accomplished ex-

YOU CANT GET AROUND A FAC

Here Are Plain Facts Which Every Public Employee
Should Know About the National Election

DO YOU WORK FOR THE CITY OF NEW YORK?

Let’s take the case of only two of the groups of New
York City employees—the policemen and firemen. During
Governor Dewey’s term of office, these men were sodesper-
ately hit by the rise in living costs that they came to Albany
and asked the Legislature to help them, They got bills in-

troduced to raise their pay. But Governor Dewey himself
stopped those bills, and it was another year of hardship

before patrolmen and firemen finally got a bonus — and

from the City of New York, and not with any of Governor

Dewey's help,
That’s the real fact about Republican double-talk on

civil service.

DO YOU WORK FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?

Mr. Bricker, GOP candidate for Vice-President, loves
to get laughs out of his audience by calling you a “bu-
reaucrat.”” The Republicans in the House of Represent-
atives murdered your chance to get unemployment insur-

ance, and thus denied you the security you would haye if

you were working in private industry. When your oppo-

nents have badgered you, called you scurrilous names, de

nied _you_ even the simplest protections, it was President

Franklin D. Roosevelt who came to your defense, with honest

facts and figures about what you are doing to help win the

war.

Those are the real facts about Republican double-talk

on civil service,

DO YOU WORK FOR THE STATE OF NEW YORK?

Then keep an eye on the Felf-Hamilton Law!

You know that just about the most important single
protection that you have is the Feld-Hamilton Law. This
law sets up clear-cut grades and salary schedules and incre-
ments, allows you to appeal if you are dissatisfied. Mr,

Dewey’s Director of the Budget, John E. Burton, is trying

to break that law—trying to set-up a_new system that will

throw your protection out the window.

That’s the real fact about Republican double-talk on

civil service.
