ALBANY, Jan. 17 — Governor
Harriman acted swiftly last week
to carry out % campaign promise
repeal of the Condon-Wadiln
anti-strike act, This law, enacted
at the behest of former Governor
‘Thomas E, Dewey, forbids all pub-
lic workers, at all levels of gov
ernment, from leaying their jobs
in a dispute, under pain of sharp
penalties, The act has been con-
tinually denounced by all public
employee organizations, includ-
ing those having “no-strike’
causes in thelr own constitutions:
Repeal legislation has been in-
troduced by Senator Harry Git-
Ueson and Assemblyman William
Kapelman, both Democrats. Thr
Governor has issued a statement
urging support of bills, He
called the Condon-Wadlin law

Chances of Killing
Anti-Strike Law
Considered Slim
on strike, but the city objected te
invoking the terms of the Condon-
Wadlin act,
The Governor re-affirmed his
view that in principle public em-
ployees could not strike, “Punitive
legislation” like Condon-Wadlin
is not the answer, however, he
said, They “must be given” col-
lective bargaining rights.
GOP Is Cool
Chances of repealing the act im
the Republican-controlled Legis-
lature are considered slim
This was borne out by the re-
actions of several prominent GOP
legislators to the Governor's
statement.
Labor Relations
Meanwhile, Governor Harr-
man’s secivtary, Jonathan Bing-
ham, is proceeding with discus-
sions designed to set up new em-
ployee relations procedures for
State workers, The Governor i
strongly critical of existing pro-
cedures, and will probably issue an

Looking Inside
By H. J. BERNARD
How Public Employees Can Best
Benefit Under New Tax Law
WHILE NATURALLY there is little in the U. 8. Income tax law
that applies exclusively to public employees, there Is much In it that
‘offers (hem tax savings because of the nature of their employment
or, for pensioners, the basis of their retirement, For instance, em~-
ployees who must live or eat on the employer's premises, for his
convenience, need pay no tax on the value of such maintenance,
Many public employees benefit by this new provision in the Internal
Revenue Code. The savings can often reach $100 on the 1964 re-
turn that is due April 15, 1955. Also, reduction in taxable portion
of pensions applies to those retired under a public employee system,
Fegardiess of age, though for others minimum age is 65,
The savings because of the freeing of lodging from tax applies
if the employee has to live on the employer's premises, as a condi-
tion of holding his job, Deprived of choice of where to live, the em-
ployee is therefore on 24-hour call, too. Not only Federal, State and
Jocal government employees, but all other employees, public or private,
benefit by the new law, Those employees of NYC Housing Authority
who are required to live in an apartment in the development where
they work, may deduct from income the value of the rent they pay,
provided they ure on 24-hour cull.
Even if the employer rates the value of the maintenance as ®
part of salary. for his own budgetary purposes, such value is still not
fo be reported as income.
Sick Pay Freed of Tax
Sick pay is subject to a limited exclusion from tax, also. This ls
particularly important to public employees, because all government
units have a policy of granting sick leave, often expressed in attend-
ance rules, or similar regulations, Such a policy ts sufficient to qualify
the employee to make deductions up to $100 « week of such pay. It
should make no difference if a protracted illness, during which sick
Jeave was exhausted, were followed by, or otherwise included, the
vacation period, since salary continuation exists then during illness,
&s well as under the sick leave policy proper, In other words, the
amounts received during vacation when one is unable to work ¢on-
stitute wages or payments in lieu of wages during the period when
an employee is absent from work because of personal injuries or
sickness, no matter what bookkeeping methods the employer follows.
To qualify for full-period benefit, an employee, if iil, must have
been hospitalized for at least one day during any part of the period
ef illness, not necessurily among the first seven days, otherwise bene-
St starts on the cighth day.
An employee, if injured, gets tax benefit from the start, and mo
Rospitalization is required.
How to Determine Benefit
The benefit consists of exclusion of sick pay of up to $100 a
week from income for tax-paying purposes,
In returns for 1954 particularly, employees will have to ve eare-
ful to claim these benefits on their own, a» the annual pay slips
(W-2 forms) provides no special space for separating sick pay from
total pay, and the employer may even haye practiced pay withhold-
ing for tax purposes, where no tax applits, so the empioyee must
take care he cashes in fully, In general, employers will distinguish
sick pay from other pay, by stating sick pay separately, in reporting
to the Internal Revenue Bureau, but not necessarily on W-2 forms
for last year’s income; next year the W-2 forms will provide space
for separate statement of sick pay and similar income not subject to
ta
Pension Tax Reduction

Fegardiess of age, other than annuitants of the U. 8. armed forces.
From the lowest tax bracket, which applies the minimum tax rate,
Bp to $1,200 of retirement Income ts not taxed, To qualify, one must
have earned at lenst $600 @ year in any of 10 calendar years, not
Recessarily consecutive years, and if a man so qualifies, ao would

the heading of earned income.
The credit against tax amounts te 20 percent. The benefit ap-
plies not only toward pensions received, bul rents, interest, and

pensions, all of which are unearned income. Then add up earned

12 Changes Recommended
In State Time-Off Rules
ALBANY, Jan. 17 — Twelve
ehanges in attendance rules for
State employees have been recom-
mended. The suggestions will go
to the State Civil Service Commis-
sion for consideration. They were
Prepared by a special committee
of the Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, with Margaret M. Penk

man.
The recommendations follow:
1, Payment for accrued vacation,
overtime, and sick leave on retire-
ment or separation from service,
and that this also be sought
through legislation,
2, Remove from Article TX of
Institution Attendance Rules pro-
vision that “death be imminent”
relative to time off for sickness in
immediate family.
3. Closing of all State offices on
Saturdays, and also that legisi:
tion be introduced providing clos-
ing of State and county offices on
lol

of married and unmarried em-
ployeen be included.

tablished for all State office em-
ployees inchiding those in State
Institutions,
8. That employees who regularly
work on five-day and five-and-
one-half day basis be given same
guarantee in Attendance Rules as
to days off, as is accorded inatl-
tutional employees who work the
six-day Week, so that departmental
employees don't lose time off by
reason of holidays falling on Sat-
urdays.
9. That time off be given em-
ployees for necessary attendance
at their naturalization ceremonies.
10. That uniform allowance for
religious observance be established,
11, That credit for time spent in
travelling on official business be
given,
12. That Attendance Rules be
amended to prevent departments
from enforcing over-drastic penal-
izations for tardiness.
Minimum Vacation Pay
‘che committee recommended
that legislation be introduced to
establish a minimum vacation al-
fowance in local governments of
two weeks after one year’s service
10 that the Board of Directors
consider the possibility of recom-
mending to the State Civil Service
Commission that the Attendance
Rules be amended to provide a

with 6 or 8 days per year, to re-
place the time off now granted for

Chapter Is
Disapproved
ALBANY, Jan, 17 — A request
to form a State-wide chapter of
motor vehicle examiners has
disapproved by the Board
of Directors, Civil Service
ployees Association, There ar
proximately 140 examiners
tered in the larger cities of the
State
A variety of reasons were ad-
vanced to the Board for disap-
proval. Most important were
these.
1, It is unwise to charter groups
om an occupational basis unless
absolutely unavoidable, All but
four CSEA chapters are on a de-
partmental or geographic basis.
2, A chapter whose members
are scattered over the State would
have no means of meeting ex-
cept at great expense,
3, A chapter so chartered might
actually be run by a few people,
without active participation of the
membership,
4, There is no large member-
ship potential to be recruited by
creation of such a chapter.
5. Existing chapters offer facil-
ities for all motor vehicle e“sm-
iners to join,

Amount of Insurance
Issued to Various Age
Groups Under CSEA Plan
ALBANY, Jan. 17 — CSEA Headquarters receives (requent in=
quiries concerning amounts of insurance issuable to members of the
plan and the cost to members in the various age groupings. Becatise
of the interest in this matter,
The LEADER publishes the following
tables showing the amounts of insurance issued under the plan,
These are based on the annual salary of the individual insured mem-
ber, and the cost to insured members in the various age groups,
AMOUNT OF INSUIANCE
‘The amount of insurance provided under the group life policy
is based on annual salary as follows:
Insurance Amount of insurance
Class Annual Salary Males Females
I Less than $900 .. . « $600 $500
TE $900 bat Jess than $1,400 .. + 1,000 1,000

VI $3,500 but Jess than $4,500 4,000 2,000

TX $5,500 but less than $6,500 « 6,000 2,000
X $6,500 and over ... 7,500 2,000
Due to the low premium rates for this insurance and the privil-
ege given to secure it regardless of physical condition, the rules gov-
erning this form of insurance do not permit the selection of amounts
other than those determined by annual salary as indicated above,
On November 1 of each year the amount of insurance for each
member whose annual salary has
changed so as to place him in a
different class will be changed to the amount of the class in which
his annual salary then places him. Change in the semi-monthly cost
to the member will be effective from the effective date of his new
amount of insurance,

to the members, the CSEA group life plan has also provided double
indemnity for accidental death and waiver of premium due to total
and permanent disability under age 60.

Needs Your Aid
NEW YORK CITY, Jan, 117 —
These are the bare facts: As of
last week, there was no credit in
the Division of Employment Blood
Bank. There is no blood in case a
staffer or his immediate family
needs it.
The use of blood is something
that can not be foreseen. When an
emergency arises, it is usually too
fate to secure blood untess the in-
dividual involved pays large sums
of money to an outside organi-
zation,
Each staff member should con-

emergency, he, his family and his
follow staffers, may benefit at no
extra cost.

40-Hr. Week
Solution
Is Sought
Employees of the State Mental
Hygiene Department have asked
that @ special meeting be called
between State legislators and dele-
gates of institutional employees to
consider the 40-hour week, The
majority of institutional em-
ployees now work a compulsory
48-hour week.
The request to call the meeting
was conveyed to John P. Powers,
president of the Civil Service Em-
Ployees Association, by heads of
various Mental Hygiene chapters,
Emil Impresa, president of the
Brooklyn State Hospital chapter,
one of those who initiated the
move, stated: “The Governor has
indicated his interest in extend-
ing the 40-hour work-week as uni-
formly as possible. This is the
standard work-week in the United
States. The legislators as well as
the Governor must understand
our problem, and the shortened
work-week brought into being as
be ag a8 possible,”
also asked the co-
cpuciion of all State and county
employees in effectuating this re-
form, He asked that the 40-hour
week story be brought to the Load
tention of all legislators by em-
ployees living in their localities,

COMPETENCE OF OLDER WORKERS RATED
RELUCTANCE OF employers to hire older workers appears to
have little basis in fact, Older workers rate as good as, or better than,
average employees under 60 with reference to overall performance,
absentesism, dependability, work quality, amount of out-put, and
ability to get along with others,
Those conclusions are based on a survey conducted and evalu-
ated by the University of IMinois. Supervisors in 20 companies told
what they thought of the competence of 1,025 workers in their 60's
and 70's,
In overall performance, supervisors ated 16 per cent of the
older workers as excellent, 32 per cent very good, 36 per cent good,
15 per cent fair, and 1 per cent poor. As for absenteeism, 70 per
cent were said to be absent less often than younger workers, 23 per
cent about the same, and 7 per cent more often. On dependability,
50 per cent were judged more dependable than younger employees
and 6 per cent were said to be less dependable. Comparative per-
centages for work quality were 36 per cent better, 57 per cont about
the same, and 7 per cent poorer, More than 75 per cent had produc~
tion records equal to or higher than those of younger workers,
‘Thirty-three per cent were said to get along with others better
than the younger workers, 60 per cent about the same, and 7 per
cent less well, P
The survey evaluators cautioned, however, against taking the
results to mean that age in itself brings greater efficiency, The sur-
vey was selective im that those workers rated were persons with
motivation to continue working, with good capabilities, and with
fitness enough to survive dismissal at an advanced age.
The evaluators further cautioned against inferring trom the
findings that older persons should be hired in preference to younger
ones, They noted that employers still need younger persona to give
long years of service and to get ready to replace senior workers when
they do retire.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1955
State, County, Town Aides
Have Stake in U. S. Plan
ederal, State and local employees all have a stake in
F in the proposals which President Eisenhower made
last week in a special message to Congress.
The President called for:
1, An increase in pay averaging 5 per cent.
2. A comprehensive health insurance plan to which
the Government would contribute one-third.
$. Additional “fringe” benefits, including an Increase
in the present travel allowance of $9 a day.
Federal employees are protesting that the Presideut’s
proposed pay increase is far too little; and postal workers,
in particular, are bitter at the low range of pay increase
and Mr. Eisenhower's suggestion that it be tied-in with
an increase in postal rates. The mood of Congress, it ap-
pears, is to give the employees a higher pay increase than
the one proposed by the President.
Now, at the State and local levels of government, the
Federal plan—last year’s and the various proposals be-
fore Congress this year—point certain targets to shoot at.
For example, Federal employees last year obtained
time-and-a-half pay for overtime work. This prevails
neither for State nor local employees. Governor Harriman
in his campaign came out for time-and-a-half pay. What's
going to be done about it? Every city, county and other
local government has an obligation to grant its employees
this elementary right.
Inequalities Still Persist
Both President Eisenhower and Governor Harriman are
on record now as favoring a contributory health insurance
system. New York City has long had such a plan, with
the City paying half the cost, But neither the State nor any
other jurisdiction of government in the State has such a
plan. It certainly is a required step forward,
Now, as to adjustment of pay scales, the Federal!
picture is this: Last year a variety of important “fringe”
benefits were enacted into law. This year, with those bene-
fits secure, Federal employees are going to get a pay in-
crease, although the exact percentage is now in debate.
Last year, State employees got a reclassification plan which
many of them felt to be wholly inadequate. Governor
Harriman is on record as favoring sufficient appropriations
to take care of all inequities. But in talks between the
Governor and the legislative leaders, this important step
seems to have been glossed over. And in the counties and
cities, pay in general continues to lag. What's going to be
done?
Federal employees and full-time State employees
have unemployment insurance. But county, city and other
local employees do not. The law allows local eommuni-
ties to bring their employees into a plan, under fair eon-
ditions. But few have availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity. It seems time for the Legislature to make unem-
ployment insurance coverage compulsory for all commun-
Sties, so that every local employee is covered.

Young Legislator
omes to Albany
And How Things Happen There
‘The 208 members (150 Assembly-
men, 58 Senators), represent the
voice of decocracy at work, New
Yorkers like to think of their Leg-
islature as the most progressive,
far-sighted, and most truly rep-
resentative of the people in the
entire nation,
A comparative record, over the
years, indicates this {s probably so,
but again, every once in a while
the Legislature has a lapse when
it enacts some measure, or takes
some step negative in character
that emphasizes the perversity of
human nature and politics,
Most of the legisiators are law-
yers. There is « scattering of in-
surance men, farmers, bankers,
business men, undertakers, pub-
Ushers, The notion is that lawyers
get further, faster in the Legisla-
ture. But this is not always so.
‘The Assembly majority leader and
minority leader not too many years
ago, for instance, were not lawyers
but insurance men (Ives and
Steingut),
Designated By Destiny
Your fresh young legislator, be
he elected to the Senate or the)
Assembly, arrives at Albany seif-
persuaded that he has been desiz-
nated by destiny to right the
wrongs of mankind by statute.
Usually, howeyer, he finds that it
takes the first term (two years)
to find his way around the huge
Capitol, to learn the rudiments of
law-making, and to discover that
“freshman” legislators are to be
seen and not heard,
Hopefully he drafts a half dosen
bilis. Later he learns that most
legisiators go to the Legislative
Bill Drafting Commission, hand
the commissioners and their large
staff of experts the “meat” of the
legisiation they propose, usually
in the form of & memorandum.
and wait for the finished product.
When the bills are ready, they
are turned over to the legislator
who introduces them in the house
of which he is a» member, and he)
generally prevails upon a member
of the other house to introduce
therein a companion measure. His)
bills go to one or another of the
40 Senate and 36 ‘Assembly com-
mittees, the reference being made
by the presiding officer, the Speak-
er of the Assembly or the Lieu-
tenant Governor, who is Presi-
dent of the Senate, Today the
Speaker is Oswald’ Heck: the
President of the Senate is George |
B. de Luca, |
Determining the Committee |
The nature of the proposed ler-|
islation determines to which com-|
mittee it is referred, all money|
bills, for instance, going to the}
appropriations committee, civil|
service matters to the civil service
committees, taxes to the taxation
committees. There are committees
on aviation, insurance, judiciary, |
codes, banks, canals, excise, local
financial, City of New York, motor
vehicles, mortgage and real estate,
public institutions, education, pub-
lie service, and so on,
The young legislator discovers
that nothing much is done the first
month of the session, Bills are in-
troduced, committees organize or
reorganize, rooms and seats are as~
signed, employees arrive, there are
dinners and quiet conferences
among the veterans. During the
second month the committees be-
gin to function, Little legisiation
is passed, except measures or pro-
posals sought Immediately by the
Governor, until the budget is
Passed and out of the way. Indeed,
so much legislation involves spend~
ing, elther directly or indirectly,
that it can’s be passed unfil the
budget bill is enacted. The Consti-~
lution specifically provides that
the budget must be passed before
any further special appropriations
can be enacted,
Tempo Picks Up
After the budget is law, the
tempo picks up, The committees
begin to function, So far as the
public is concerned, the drama is
out in the open, on the floors of
the two houses, when Jegislation
iy being considered, But your young
legislator discovers that the real
drama occurs not on the stage of
the two houses, but in the wings —
the committee rooms, Opposition
members may pummel each other
during debate — but it's usually
for the galleries or for the politi-
cal record, speeches, observations,
rejolners and verbal brickbats that goes there for something. There t#
can be used Iater In the campaigns.
if your young legistator belong:
to the minority party his chances
of getting any controversial or
important legislation passed Js
mighty slim. If he has a good idea,
chances are that the bill will be
nothing reprehensible in this. As
a matter of fact, lobbying is am
important instrument of legisine
tive function. The Legislature is
the forum for all the people and
they go to the Legislature for
what they want. There is no or=

majority party, and enacted. A:

that dors not have one or more
minority, but he learns eventoally| representatives in Albany as lobe
that his friends of the opposition | byists,
the majority — can give him
everything but yotes, and without
votes he can't do much.
Into the Ashean
If be is a majority member and
his bills are getting nowhere In
committee he may talk to his party
Jeaders and the chairman of the
committee. The committee which
usually meets two or three or more
times during the session, passes
on every proposal referred to it.
A majority vote of the members
ts required to kill or report a mea-
sure. The first couple of committee
meetings are usually devoted to
cleaning out the impossible—those
bills obviously headed for the ash~
can, the perennials that come in
year after year, but never get any-
where. and the bills that are intro-
duced by a legislator tongue in
cheek — for local effect or be-
cause some constituent demanded
it.
They Begin To Think
When the committee begins con~
sideration of “the possibles,” vari-
ous elements arise, Por their guid-
ance, the members have piles of
literature, letters, telegrams, for
and against. These make the boys
think. The political aspects have
an important bearing, for the leg-
islation may advance or damage
the party in power or It may ad-
versely affect a single legislator of
the majority party.
When the Legislature and the
|Governor are of opposite parties,
as now, the Legislature may pass
certain doubtful proposals or ad-
mittedly not in the public interest
The Legislature hopes thus to em-
barrass the Governor who is con-
selentious enough to veto those
proposals, But, as under Governor)
Dewey, when both the Chief Ex-
ecutive and the Legislature are of
the same party, the effort is to
harmonize their viewpoints in ad-
vance on legislative proposals, The
bulk of the majority members in
the Legislature are loathe to “put
their Governor on the spot" by
Passing on to him measures of
doubtful constitutionality er pro-
posals contrary to his own politi-
cal concepts and principles,
Nevertheless, even Governor
Dewey had his doubtful moments
with the GOP legisiators. Senator
Walter Mahoney, now Senate ma-
jority leader, once even went on
the radio to cross swords with
Dewey.
Battle On the Floor
If the young legislator gets hin
bilis out of committee, he next
battles for their passage on the
floor of the house of which he is a
member, hoping that his colleague
in the other house will be success-
ful also. In more than 90 per cent
of the cases if the bill gets out of
committee and the party leaders
are for it, the young legisiator's
worries are over, Party votes will
put it over, In the other cases, the
legislator has to fight for it and
sometimes he prevails and gets it
through his own house only to
have it die in the committee to
which it is referred in the other
house, or have it killed on the
floor, He learns that the party
leaders weleld great power. Sena-
tor minority leader is Prancis J.
Mahoney. In the Assembly, ma-
jority leader is Joseph FP, Carlino;
minority leader is Bugene PF. Ban~
Lobbyists:
Many of the legisiators work
with lobbyists, If the job is to con-
vince the other member's and par-
tevlarly the party leaders that
the proposed legislation is desir-
able, the legislator talks with hiv
colleagues. When that fails ho sug-
jents that those others interested
in his bill see the leaders and try
to clear Une way, Almost everybody
who goes to Albany for @ leginla-
ve session, except Dewspapermen,
nigan.
Even the State departments, ine
terested In pushing through Iegise
Jation affecting thelr own affairs,
have their legisiative representa
tives. And so with NYC and other
municipalities, These lobbyists
work loudly or quietly. Some never
ko near the Capitol itself, Some
stage parades and besiege the of~
fives of legislators. These tactics
are generally ineffective but it
gives the paid lobbyist an oppor=
tunity of showing what a guy he ja,
Knowing whom to see and what
to say are the most potent weapons
in the hands of the skilled lobbyist,
Sometimes a committee will con
mittee on any bill, There are ex=
ceptions but, generally, the fate of
a bill important enough to warrant
a special hearing already is sealed
before the hearing takes place, AS
least in most cases.
While Senate committees funce
tion right up to the close of the
session, in the Assembly all com=
mittees suspend about 10 days be
fore expected adjournment, Any
bills left in any committee are
turned over then to the Rules
Committee, which Is the power
house for the remainder of the
session. All bills arriving from the
Senate are sent into Rules after
Rules “takes over.” “Rules” con-
sists of veteran members whe
know most of the answers. The
committee meets once daily mt
first and then, as the end of the
session draws nenrer, it meets
more frequently until the last cous
ple of days when it meets inter
mittently day and might until the
business is cleaned up, As fast as
Rules reports bills, they go to the
house for action, When other com=
mittees, for various reasons, decide
not to pass upon some particular
measure, declining either to kill 1%
or report it, they toss the bill te
Rules. When some highty desirable
measure fails to reach the floor of
the Assembly, the answer then is
always, “Rules did it.”
Bills passing from one house te
another sometimes “get crossed”
and inadvertently, particularly
when amendments have been
made, they are side-tracked, All
amendments made in one house
must haye the concurrence of the
other. Scores of bills pass one
house, die in committee or are de=
feated in the other. Frequently,
this is purposeful and with the
consent of the introducer who has
his own reasons.
Members of the two houses are
elected for the same term, get the
same regular salary each, plus
round-trip mileage once a week,
The majority and minority lead-
ers, the Speaker, the President of
the Senate, the chairman of the
appropriations committees, and
the chairmen of the judiciary com=
mittees get extra compensation im
the form of expense money, By the .
Ume the average legislator pays
his hotel expenses and other itema,
he doesn’t have too much left te
show for a session at Albany, But
he learns a lot,

Impartial Commission
To Devise Security and
Loyalty Programs Is Backed
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 — Dis-
satisfied with the delay in the im~-
provement of the loyalty and se~
eurity programs, with adequate
gafeguards for employees, em-
ployee groups are backing a pro-
posal that an impartial commis-
sion be appointed to study the
subject, and report back recom-
mendations in 90 days.
President Eisenhower, in a press
interview, gave no encouragement
to any such plan. He thought
such ® commission would pro-
duce no better results than the
studies now being made by his
own administration, He added
that the Cabinet spends more
time on this subject than on any
other, and that the reason there
bas been no quick proposal for
specific improvements is that the.
subject is full of so many diffi-
eulties, He felt that the question
of how to decide whether an em-
ployee should be retained or not,
when facts concerning his loyalty
er safety to the Government are
st stake, is delicate, and diffi-
ult to solve through some sweep-
ing overall statement of policy,
Want Innocent Protected
‘The employee groups admit the
@Meulty, but state that, since
the present programs have pro-
duced examples of apparent in-
Justice, and the security program
alls for snooping on employee
activities that is beyond what any-
body would like to see in this
country, the least the adminis-
tration could do would be to rec-
tify its programs in those particu-
Jars at once.
The President has called for
suggestions, and is receiving many
but has not found any solution
that 18 satisfactory to him and
his Cabinet. The Department of
Justice is paying particular heed
to the problem, at his direction,
The Internal Security Division
of the Justice Department, to
which the problem has been as-
signed, says that it is seeking
some plan that js fair both to the
Government and the employee,
‘Thus there is the intimation that
some improvement may be ex-
pected. What the employees par-
ticularly complain about is delay
in removing the dangerous aspects
of the present programs, since
from the concern the President
showed on the subject, and the
intensity with which the Division
is undertaking its work, the de-
fects are not unnoticed in official
circles, but the employees “say
that too late is not soon enough
to protect still others who will be
victimized meanwhile,
Ladejinsky’s Case
The subject came up at the
press conference ‘n connection
with the diverse viewpoints of
two department heads concern-
ing Wolf Ladejinsky, The ques-
tion is whether the 55-year-old
expert on Par Eastern agricultural
problems is @ security risk, Sec-
retary of Agriculture Ezra Taft
Benson did not say that Mr. Lade-
jinsky is @ security risk, but that
he might be, and therefore
should not be retained in Govern-
ment employ. The President up-
held Mr, Benson's right to come
to such decision. But he also up-

for any appointment.
Under way is a plan to co-ord~-
inate decisions on such matters,
to avoid the conflict that arose
in Mr. Ladejinsky's ease, but em-

trative techniques, and making
any one decision stick for all pur-

President's Remarks
The following is taken from the
unofficial transcript of the press
interview with the President (the
President speaking; his remarks
are quoted indirectly);
When the effort was to make
certain that the Governmont was
served by the finest people you
could get, and where, at the same
time, you didn’t want to take un-
necessary risks of damaging the
reputations of people who were
or who gave many reasons to
make one believe were — honest
and sincere, it was a delicate op-
eration and judgments would
differ,
Now, as they knew, there was
responsibility placed by law upon
the heads of the departments. In
this case, on the evidence avatl-
able, one department, had believed
that the best interests of Govern-
ment would be served by not hir-
ing this man, Others differed,
Obviously, it had been a case
where the evidence had been of
& kind that was not conclusive ap-
parently to the other people,
Now, this was one reason the
Administration had set up in the
Department of Justice a separate
special group under William F,
Tompkins, Assistant Attorney
General, to specialize in these
Matters and to be avatiable as an
adviser.
Now, Tompkins couldn't take
the responsibility; that belonged
to the department head, but he
could be @ special adyiser and
counsel im these delicate cases,
The President would be the last
te say the method which was
devised was perfect, Of course, it
wasn't, It had been made by
humans, and i was bound to have
its imperfections,
These were difficult matters,
to improve, He knew of no sub-
ject that took so much time,
both individually and collectively.

get this thing absolutely straight-

‘Employees Come First’

George M. Bragalini feels that
the way to operate a smooth-func-

to think about the employees first,

years. “I saw to it,” he says, “that

care of their own problems, but
not be martinets.” He did what he
could to widen the promotion base.
