OPA to Employ
World's Largest
Staff of Lawyers

WASHINGTON. —Office of Price
Administration will become the
largest employer of lawyers the
world has ever known,

Within # relatively short time
OPA will have an estimated 3,500
lawyers on its staff. In contrast,
just remember that two years ago
there were only 5,050 lawyers in
the entire Federal service of this
country, And in England at the
same time there were only 500
lawyers that served His Majesty's
government,

OPA will hire many of the
lawyers to check on enforcement
of its price ceilings. It's now es-
timated that one lawyer will have
to be hired for just about every
single county in the country.

David Ginsberg, general counsel
of OPA, will be in charge of both
the legal and enforcement sections
of OPA, and the hiring will go
through him,

War Powers
Of Civil Service

Last week The LEADER ran
the story of the sweep.ng war
time powers of the United
States Civil Service Commission,
These powers have a tremendous
effect on all Federal employees
and prospective employees. The
material, propared by the Civil
Service Reform League, con-
cludes below:

Not very long ago, a joint Army-
Navy policy has been adonted reg-
‘ulating enlistments and the grant
ing of commissions to government
employees in key or technical
positions. Department or agency
heads are authorized to refuse to
release essential employees for
military service. Reasons for re-
fusals must be given local draft
boards, and the War Manpower
Board has final authority to over-
rule the departments, Each
agency is required to file lists of
Indispensable jobs with the Civil
Service Commission and the Man-
power Board.

At the hearing before the Senate
Civil Service Committee on the
Proposed over-time pay bill for
Federal employees, Civil Service
Commissioner Arthur 8, Flem-
ming stated that since Pearl Har-
bor there has been a turnover rate
in the Federal civic service gener-
ally of 42.5 percent, and in the de-
partmental service at Wasbington
of 83.5 percent. In the entire
service during this period 1,336,-
365 placements were made, of
which 784,000 were to new posi-
tions and 551,000 to fili vacancies.
In the offices located at Washing-
ton there were 129,000 placements,
of which 117,000 were to fill va-
cancies, Commissioner Flemming
urged passage of the over-tim
pay bill, which would corre:
“glaring and unfair inequalities
whereby 68 percent of Faderal
employees are entitled to overtime
payments for hours worked in ex-
cess of their basic work-weel,
while the other 42 percent are
not; charging that the excessive
turnover was partly due to these
inequalities,

While admitting that "existing
financial inequalities which ought
to have been adjusted months ago
have contributed to the labor
turnover," the Washington Pose
commented on Commissioner
Tigmming ‘8 statement:

But financial inequaliti
No iheans the sole explanation of
the situation, The fact is that
thousands of Federal employees
have come to Washington with the
earnest desire to help the War ei:
fort and have been assigned to
"made" jobs in which, all too fre-
Auently, there has been little or no
Useful work to do, Some of these
employees have cleared out of the
Capital and gone back home with
tales which, We are assured, con-
vince local’ communities that all
they hear about the Washington
“muddle” is only too true, As a re-
ault, not only the war morale of
former Federal workers but that of
Persons with whom they come in
Contact is impaired. As for em-
ployees who stick it out here, many
have apparently shopped around
among the various agencies to an
extent that has contributed mark-
edly to growing administrative
ficiency, In this connection, the re-
cent ban on this practice by Paul

How the Elections Affect
Civil Service Employees

WASHINGTON. — Last week’s
elections that saw the Democrats’
control badly shaken in Washing-
ton will have its effects—and
plenty of them—on the nation’s
2,600,000 civilian employees.

First and most important re-
action is that action on the bill
to raise the incomes of Federal
employees will be delayed until
after the new Congress takes
over in January. It is generally
believed here that Congress will
only mark time and put off all
decisions that can be postponed
until after the New Year.

The new Congress, Washington

observers say, will demand more
out of Federal agencies and Gov-
ernment workers generally. To
be specific, it will demand more
efficient operations. The employ-
ees, of course, will welcome any-

thing along that line, and are in
the forefront of any movement for
increasing efficiency.
Longer Hours

Longer hours for Federal work-
ers also are right around the cor-
ner. The lengthened work week,
however, won't be confined to
Federal workers, but will affect
all war workers generally. There
seems to be no question that the
new Congress will show a trend
to the right, and most people now
believe it will show little respect
for the 40-hour work week.

Pay Question Critical

‘The pay question is becoming
eritieal in Washington, On Janu-
ary 1, when the 5 percent Victory
Tax becomes effective, the low-
paid boys and girls in Washing-
ton—the $1,260 and $1,440 grades—
simply won't get enough to live
on, and they'll leave the Capitol
City in great droves.

Twenty percent will be taken

‘out of the paychecks before the
employees even see it—10 percent
for war bonds, 5 percent for re-
tirement and 5 percent for Vic-
tory tax. The $1,440 girl, instead
of getting $120 a month in cash,
will pee only $96. And few peo-
ple will say that you can live de-
cently on that amount in Wash-
ington, D. C,

FDR For Immediate Ralse

That's why President Roosevelt
will fight to get the Federal work-
ers a pay raise immediately and
he'd like to give it to them dating
back to October 1, It's feared
that there'll be a breakdown in
the Federal service, especially in
Washington, unless Congress
comes through.

The overtime arrangement for
the Army and Navy expires at the
end of this month and the Presi-
dent will be in a fairly good posi-
tion to force the issue to a show-
down,

Veteran Agency Employees
Don’t Sprout Wings, Either

The article “Grammar School Strategy in the Vet Administra-
tion” aroused much comment from employees in that agency. Here
is one letter, by Miss Maureen O'Donoghue, an employee of the
Veterans’ Administration, presenting another point of view. In a pre-
face to her letter, Miss O'Donoghue writes: “In an effort to see

justice done, I

should like to publish the enclosed letter if space
allows and you see fit to do so.

I am not engaged in a super-

visory capacity at Veterans’ Administration; hence my defense can-

not be labeled a biased one.”

Miss O’Donoghue’s letter was ad-

dressed to Arthur Rhodes, LEADER reporter who wrote the story.

By MAUREEN O'DONOGHUE

Those of us who read your
article in last week’s issue of The
LEADER cannot help but wonder
whether you are an employee of
Veterans’ Administration for, in
your attack upon the supervisory
system, you completely failed to
take all the issues at hand into
consideration, Repeatedly, you
laid emphasis on the Grammar
School strategy used by those in
charge to handle their subordin-
ates,

Since you persist in drawing
that analogy, let me say that it's

Lawyers Exam
Papers Graded

WASHINGTON.—Regular veter-
ans preference—10 percent for di:
abled vets and 5 percent for reg-
ular yets—will be given to the
14,000 lawyers who took the recent
Civil Service legal exam, it has
been decided by the Board of Le-
gal Examiners,

Incidentally, 26,000 applied for
the test but only 14,000 showed
up to take it. Officials believe
the other applicants were either
drafted or got other jobs in the
meantime. The exam papers are
about graded and successful appli-
cants will be called up for oral
exam before local examining
boards before they can be certi-
fied.

Lunch Nibbled All Morning?
“Lunch,” ordinarily consumed at
noon, and there are some of us
who can manage to thrive well on
the repast taken in a half hour,
is nibbled from early morning
until the regular period begins, so
that half-hour can be spent in
shopping, reading, telephoning,
etc. Sure, all of us would like
a longer luncheon period, too, but
those of us to whom the ‘‘job””
means a little more than a bi-
monthly check, realize that as
never before, production is what
counts. Incidentally, if the

Desk Straightening

Although it hardly follows

‘With Prejudice’

Gets Slapped Down

WASHINGTON. — Federal
agencies no longer have the au-
thority to fire employees or com:
pel them to resign “with preju-
dice” without cause, This abused
and misused authority has been
withdrawn ‘from the agencies by
the Civil Service Commission.

The tendency was to ‘frecze'’
employees in their jobs with @
threat of giving them ‘preji-
diced” resignations if they
signed before six months of

ice. War and Navy departments
had this definite policy, but it
didn't work,

Resigned employees also faced
a 90-day wait before they could
re-enter Federal service and ths

Commission had the privilege of

Bad Attitude

This ‘get-away-with-what-you-
can” attitude on the part of their
office force is what most super-
visors are faced with and it's not
a pretty picture, I'm against the
‘rod and rule as much as any-
one could be but when grown men
and women, many of them as old
or older than supervisors, as you
pointed out, continue to shirk
their responsibilities, it {s time for
them to be disciplined according-
ly. A continual “‘policing’’ of aisles
and rest rooms seems to be the
only solution at the moment, par-
ticularly, if employees think noth-
ing of absenting themselves from
their desks from one-half to three-
quarters of an hour—and not once
a day either.

At a time when the Civil Serv-
ice Commission has neither the
time nor the means to test the
reliability of those whom it em-
ploys, ‘these ‘‘school , room’?
tactics seem to be the only s0-
lution until whatever time each
employee is man enough and
woman enough to apply himself

Dependency Benefits Office
In Newark Starts with Bang

WASHINGTON.—The estimat-
ed 4,000 employees in the Office
of Dependency Benefits of the
War Department that are moving
to Newark, N, J., are having a
rough time.

In the first place, employees
charged the department with dis-
crimination against Negroes when
a number of Negro employees
were told in polite but unmistak-
able language that it would be
best for them to remain in Wash-
ington,

Newark has been a No. 1 war
center for some time, and housing
is scarce. Many of the trans-
ferred employees have had to take
rooms and apartments in New
York City and commute.

Paychecks have been delayed
and the low-paid workers with
little ready cash have had @ hard

time meeting all their new and un-
expected expenses,

The office is new and it's con
stantly being reorganized. This
keeps employees in an up-in-the
air-state and it will be a while be
fore they'll get settled.

Meantime, roughly, 5,000 employ:
ees from the New York-New Je!
sey area will be hired at the New’

Police Dept. Faces Manpower
Crisis; No Appointments Made

‘There were 172 names certified
this week by the Municipal Civil
Service Commission for pafrol-
man opportunities at $1,320 a
year (rising to $2,000 after the
probationary period has ended),
Number 800 on the list has been
reached. To date, however, no
more than 75 have proven quali-
fied and no appointments had
been made at The LEADER’s
press time.

Certifications are continuing
and so is investigation of eli-
gibles, with the view of appoint-
ing 240 in all.

‘The Police Department actually

Fire Commissioner Patrick Walsh
in refusing to accept 3-A eligibles

Shortage Acute

That the department faces a
manpower shortage that may be-
come acute is readily admitted by
police officials, Nevertheless,
Commissioner Valentine has
seized upon a recent court de-
cision yranting to the Fire De-
partment the right to diebar 3-A’s
from employment and utilized it
for the Police Depaytment. This
result was widely predicted at the
time of the decision, although
few days prior to that time, the
department had stated it would
not follow the Fire policy.

Like the Fire Commissioner, the
Police Department's officials cite
the argument that it is pointless
to train a man on police duties,
only to lose him to the Army. Se-
lective Service will not grant de-
ferments to members of the police
force unless they have been on
the job at least two years.

Subway Union Demands

New Labor

Warning the citizens of New
New York that their transit sys-
tem is “in danger of break-down”
because of the “reactionary labor
policy” of the Board of Trans-
portation, the Transport Workers
Union last week appealed to the
people of the city to demand that
Mayor LaGuardia take action to
avert a serious crisis.

The TWU appeal to the people
of New York, headed “Will the
City’s Transit System Do Its Part
in the War Effort?” was pub-
lished in paid advertisements in
several metropolitan newspapers.

Charging that the dim-out in the
subways, ‘‘the only project related
to the war effort” undertaken by
the Board of Transportation since

Pearl Harbor, “almost blinded its
six million passengers,” the union

Policy

asserts that had the Board ac-
cepted its offers of cooperation
¢ public would be spared the
iscomfort and injury” of poor
lighting. In addition to the “dis-
mal failure" of the dim-out system
the Board is accused of rejecting
“every constructive proposal made
by the Union for joint labor-
management conservation of crit-
ical materials, increased employee
efficiency, air-raid protection and
full utilization of our transit fa-
cilities for the war effor
Charges Demoralization

The union's statement further
charges the board with responsi-
bility for “demoralizing” and ‘‘dis-
integrating the labor force upon
which success of our transit opera-
tion devends."” Despite the 27 per-
cent decline in the “real wages"
of the employees in two years the
Board of Transportation, in the
face of a ‘net operating profit of
$21,000,000" in the past year, has
failed to meet the TWU’s request

‘There was some talk this week
about the possibility of another
examination, It is admitted, how-
ever, that results might not be
forthcoming, since the men with
desirable qualities for the position
of patrolman are precisely those
who are already in or are soon
likely to be in the armed services.

‘There is a possibility that the
number 2 police list may be util-
{zed before very long, since the
bottom of the first list will sure-
ly be reached shortly. However, at
this writing no official request
had been made to the Civil Serv-
ice Commission for the use of the
second list.

‘The situation at this point is
very much “up in the air.” And,
meanwhile, the Police Depart-
ment isn't making appointments
until there is some clarification of
the situation.

stom. Replacements were to be
mude at a pace of about 300 a
week, An obstacle in the early de-
termination of certifications was
the necessity of studying the
ability forms mailed in by,
240 conductor eligibles.

While 142 acceptances out of
335 canvassed is not at all a high
figure, the Board has obtain®d as
many conductors as it requires
for the time being.

14 Gals Appointed

To Police Dept.

Fourteen gals on the police-
woman list have been appointed
to the Police Department, halle-
lujah! The gals had been work-
ing hard for appointment, and
had even had a sympathetic word
from Butch in City Hall, but priv-
ately a lot of them said that they
felt it was hopeless. Most of them

fo ee
for a general increase, Such an
increase, equal to 15 percent of the
rates that prevailed on January
1, 1941, in conformity with the
policies of the National War La-

bor Board, and a provision for
security based on voluntary main-
tenance of union membership, are
included in the TWU proposals
which it claims the Board re-
jected.

Many Leaving

Because of the low pay and the
“intolerable working conditions”
many skilled and experienced em-
ployees are leaving the transit sys-
tem, the union asserts, adding that
“many more will undoubtedly
leave unless the board reverses
its reactionary policy. More seri-
ous perhaps is the restlessness and
discontent on the part of those
who remain,"

The statement concludes with an
appeal to the citizens of New Yorlc
to “write, wire and 'phone the
Mayor demanding that he inter-
vene at once and compel the
Board of Transportation to adopt
a labor policy am conformity with
that promulgated by the President
and the National War Labor
Board.’

blamed it on Commissioner Val-
entine. They didn’t exactly call
him a woman-hater, but they
didn’t sound full of the glow of
love when they referred to his
attitude about taking on females
in the department. Anyway, the
Budget Director has finally give
en the official o.k., and the gals
are now in the Police Academy,
studying up on what it takes to
batter down city slickers who go
prowling in Central Park at
night, or give the old one-two to
purse-snatchers, Hereafter, men,
we advise you to keep a wary
eye open when you're on a date,

City employees earning more
than $2,100 a year,

5. A $1,200 minimum for all
State workers,

6. A 15 per cent wage adjust-
ment for all State workers earn-
ing from $1,200 to $2,100 a year,
and 10 per cent for those earn-
ing over $2,100,

7. Maintenance of payments
similar to Feld-Hamilton incre-
ments, wage adjustments of 15
per cent, and time and one-half
for overtime of more than 40
hours for USES employees, The
program was announced in a
statement issued by the union.
The first step in the campaign
will be a petition drive among
civil service workers calling on
them to support the program, ac-
cording to James V. King, the
union's secretary-treasurer, King
also said that the union was
planning to ask widespread
public support by showing how
vital war services of the City,
such as health, hospitals and
child care, have been crippled be-
cause of the huge staff turnover
resulting from the attraction of
higher salaries elsewhere,

Blames Sub-Standard Wageso

“When the public learns of the
inadequate care to the sick be-
cause of the existence of thou-
sands of unfilled jobs in City hos-
pitals and State institutions due
to sub-standard wages," King
said, (‘they will regard this as a
serious blow to the home front
in this total war effort and ral-
ly behind our just and feasible
Wage adjustment demands,”

He pointed out that civil serv-
ice workers were among those
hardest hit by the war-time rise
in living costs, Although their
salaries have remained relatively
static, he said, they have been
called upon to absorb an 18 per
cent increase in the cost of liv-
ing os well as the heaviest taxa~
tion burden in history. He estim-
ated that the average civil service
worker in New York has suffered
a 40 per cent cut in real wages
since January, 1941,

U. S. Official

Wicks Law to Stan
Says in Famed Subway Case

Well, the court says the Wicks
Law is constitutional. This law
authorized the City to continue in
employment workers from the
privately owned subway systems
without compelling them to take
a competitive exam, when the
City took over the IRT and BMT.

The Court of Appeals has
ruled that the Wicks Law as it
applies to the transfer of em-
ployees of the independent: lines
is designed not to interfere with
the smooth and satisfactory
functioning of the merit system.

It was back in 1939 that the
Legislature, anticipating transit
unification in ¢he City, authorized
the City under the Wicks Law to
continue the employment of work-
ers on private owners’ payrolls
when and if the City should take
over the independent lines.

‘Then Came Classification

If you recall, the unification
plan was effected in June, 1940,
and it developed that the incum-
bents of the positions were to
continue in their jobs in the non-
competitive class for a year, thus
enabling the Civil Service Com-
mission to study the classification
of some 32,000 employees involved
and allocating incumbents in ac-
cordance with classifications.

It was to be after a year that
the positions would be recognized
as competitive, wherever prac-
ticable. Those holding positions
falling into the competitive class
would be continued in that class
without an examination,

In March, 1941, however, pro-

Approves

Employee Grievance Bill’

Another week has gone by
without action on the employee
negotiations bill, Last week, The
LEADER reported there is
eason to believe that the Mayor
ig against the bill and is holding
up its passage. Majority Leader
Sharkey still keeps silent and re~
fuses to schedule a public hear-
ing while the bill lies buried in
the Committee on Civil Em-
ployees.

Méanwhile, additional evidence
indicating that the establishment of
employee negotiations machinery
improves efficiency in the public
service came from no Yess an au-
thority than John J, Corson, Di-
rector of the Federal Bureau of
Smployment Security. Corson has
direct supervision over the United
States Employment Service,
which is playing a vital role in
the mobilization of manpower for
the war effort.

In a letter to James V. King
of the SCMWA, Corson states
that the Federal Security Agency
has an administrative policy
which gives to its employees the
right to join organizations ‘with-
out intimidation,” He added that
‘under Federal civil _ service
there is a definite procedure es-
tablished for hearing employee
grievances."

How does he feel about these
Policies? Well, lsten—

“I am completely in accord
with these policies, believe their

objectives are desirable, and that
they contribute to the good will
of the employees and to the ef-
ficiency of the public service."

Another vital war agency of the
Federal government—the War De-
partment—has also recognized
that a proper means of handling
employee grievances has an im-
portant contribution to make in
increasing efficiency as well as
keeping up employee morale in
wartime. In a recent declaration
of policy, the War Department
announced that its employees
have the right to organize and
to be represented by their clect-
ed representatives in the adjust-
ment of grievances,

Housing Authority
Workers Hold

Communion Breakfast

‘The employees of the New York
City Housing Authority held their
second annual Communion break-
fast on November 1, They at+
tended Mass at 9 a.m,, at St. Pat-
rick's Cathedral and had breakfast
together at the Roosevelt Hotel,
45th Street and Madison Avenue.

Guests were Rev. Thomas Ber-

Assessors Go
To Finance Dept.

The Municipal Civil Service
Commission made good use this
week of the competitive list for
junior assessor,

A total of 145 names was certi-
fied for investigator jobs in the
Department of Finance at $5 a
day (temporary) in all boroughs.
‘The highest number reached was
451.

Civil Service Agency
To Obtain Typists

Twelve names were certified, up
to number 24, last week by the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion for typist, grade 1 jobs, at
$860. ‘The jobs, permanent, are
for positions in the Municipai
Ciyil Service Commission itself,

ceedings were begun, challenging
the constitutionality of the cov-
ering-in process provided under
the Wicks Law. The contention
was that, under the New York
Constitution providing that ap-
pointments and promotions in
civil service should be made after.
@ competitive exam wherever pos-
sible, the Legislature just didn’t
have the authority to cover-in all
transit employees taken over by
the City.

‘The fact is, it was pointed out,
in no event could such positions
as clerks, stenographers, engi-
neers and policemen—positions
which long have been recognized
for their suitability to competitive
exams—be affected by the cover-
ing-in process,

Background

Back on April 10, 1941, in the
case of Felder vs. Fullen, the
New York Supreme Court (Spe-
cial Term) upheld the validity of
the covering-in process under the
terms of the Wicks Law. It recon-
ciled its provisions, in fact, with
the intent of the constitutional
merit system requirement. In do-
ing so, it pointed out that the Leg-
islature was presented with the
problem of exercising its judg-
ment. That, moreover, in view of
the odd sitiation presented, it
was confronted with three urgent
Problems:

1, Interruption of the transit
service.

2, Safety of continued service,

8. Induction into the army of
trained, experienced and efficient
workers who were in the private
companies’ employ,

The court offered a long opin-
fon in which it réviewed the lead-

Bookkeeper Test
For Employees

The NYC Civil Service Commis-
sion, at its meeting last week, or-
dered an examination for promo-
tion to bookkeeper, grade 1, in
the folowing departmeints:

President, Borough of Manhat-
tan; Comptroller's Office; De-
partment of Finance; City Sher-
iff; Fire Department; Health De-
partment; Board of Water Sup-
ply.

Cop Eligibles’
Look Ahead

A committee of five was
sclected at a meeting of those on
the Police Bligibles Number 1 list
October 29 in Washington Irving
High School, Manhattan, to ar-
range plans for the association's
progress,

‘The group expects to discuss the
dilemma created by the Police De-
partment’s passing over 3-A ell-
gibles when {t convenes for its
next meeting in the same place
November 13.

Supervisors
Must Qualify

The Civil Service Commission
last week acceded to a request of
Deputy Commissioner Leo Arn-
stein, Welfare, that only those
persons will be certified to the
Board of Child Welfare from the
promotion list of supervisor, grade
2, who are qualified under the
State law. Mr. Arnstein expressed
his belief that otherwise, the de-
partment might not be reim-
bursed by the State for its por-
tion of the salaries of such per-
sons, Those who aren't qualified
will be passed over when it comes
time to make appointments.

Trackman List
Finds Quick Use

A total of 1,870 appeared on the
trackman list for the New York
City Transit System, {t was an-
nounced last week at the Municl-
pal Service Commission.

There are 93 permanent and 52
military replacement vacancies on
the docket—to be filled promptly.

‘Trackman salaries range from
63 to 88 cents an hour, carrying
with the length of employment in
the classification.

Last February 1,706 candidates
filed for the exam and 3,402
passed the written test in April.
However, no more than 2,209 were
available for the physical test. The
reason for most of the absences
was military service,

Of those who took the physical,
1,870 passed, 204 did not obtain a
passing mark and 127 were turned
back after tho medical examina:

Mr. Dewey specifically re-
assured Civil Service employees
concerning their jobs, adding that
he would “recognize good work.””
It was assumed that this might
refer to quicker promotions for
many State employees,

The Governor-elect also ex-
pressed concern about the
manpower problem in State de-
partments, particularly among
those ernployees earning $1,200 to
$1,800, who have been leaving the
State service in droves to enter
private industry. Mr. Dewey did
not say what he planned to do
about this, but when a LEADER.
reporter asked one of Mr. Dewey's
aides whether this meant that
salary increases might be on the
way, he didn’t deny it.

Streamlining Due

Up in Albany, it is predicted
that departmental reorganization
will be widespread, Dewey him-
self stated that he would see to it
that departments are ‘stream-
lined.” Not all departments are
subject to gubernatorial change,
however, ‘The State Board of S
cial Welfare, for example, consists
of 15 members who are chosen for
5-year overlapping terms. David
. Adie, Commissioner of Welfare,
is beyond gubernatorial jurisdic-
tion in this sense. Chairman Milo
R. Maltbie, of the Public Service
Commission, has until 1951 to
serve. But such exceptions are
compartively few.

It has been widely predicted

that Miss Grave A, Reavy, presi-

dent of the State Civil Service De-
partment, won't be re-appointed
when her term expires on Febru-
ary 1, 1943. State Civil Service
may expect the most careful
scrutiny in years. A legislative
committee was set up at the last
session of the State legislature to
look into the set-up of Civil Ser-
vice in New York State, Mr.
Dewey, In an exclusive interview
with The LEADER at the time,
said frankly that in his opinion
there were areas of Civil Service
administration which should be
investigated. It may therefore be
anticipated that the Hollowell
committee will “go to town.’
That committee has been quietly
collecting material all summer.
Another possible development
foreseen is a thorough examina-
tion of policies and practises in
the Department of Mental Hy-
giene. Mr. Dewey has long looked
askance at this department, and
Paul Lockwood, of the Manhattan

District Attorney's office, one
of Dewey's closest associates,
told this reporter seme time
ago that “if and when’? Mr.

Dewey should ever become Gover-
nor, action in this sphere might
be expected. ‘That ‘if and when’
has now come about.

Harold Keller, another Dewey
aide, informed The LEADER
that ‘‘civil service employees can
expect the highest consideration
of their rights and privileges
under the administration of the
new Governor, You can tell them
for Mr, Dewey that they will get
every possible cooperation.”

About Getting

Sirs: T find it is still difficult
to get a defense job without a

birth certificate, Thére should be
some allowance made, in this pe-

viod of war, in which an individ-
ul should be permitted to take a
job pending production of that
certificate, Too often trustworthy,
hard-working men lose out on
great opportunities, after waiting
years, just because of the length
of time it seems to have to take
to get a birth certificate when you
want it.

‘The Department of Health's ree-
ord bureau should put on more
help if this is the answer to speed-
ing up the process, But, be that
as it may, the fact remains some
provision should be adopted
whereby a man would be permit
ted to go to work with the under-
standing he is to produce his
birth certificate within a stated
period of time, There is justice in
an arrangement of this sort, I am
sure,

Sirs: Let me suggest that you
look into the conditions under
which guards work on Ellis Is-

be treated with silk gloves, and
they get kicked around by their
superiors. It's a helluva life, be-
lieve you me, F.W.B,

Suggestions

Sirs: I'm for more participation
in the affairs of a department by
employees. I'm sure that if we're
given a chance, we could show
many ways for improving
ficiency and getting more woric
done quicker. Down in Washing-
ton, the authorities foster sugges-
tions from employees, with very
good results, One gitl showed the
Navy Department how to save
thousands of dollars by simplify-
ing paper work. Why do New
York Department heads frown on
the cooperation we wish to offer?

Merit

. «. Looking for a Statistic}

OFFHAND, YOU'D say that
Thomas J. Duffield, registrar of
records in the Department of
Health, whose business is the
fondling of vital records and sta-
tistics (especially deaths), would
be a pretty dull guy. At least
you'd expect his work to dom-
inate his personality.

‘Well, don't say so, for you'll be
all wrong. Thomas J, Duffield is
as lively a fellow as you'd care to
meet. He even can make statis-
tics sound exciting.

Most interesting thing about the
man, in fact, is that Mr. Duffield,
who is also director of Vital
Records and Statistics, has been
instrumental in putting into ef-
fect the confidential method of
reporting causes of death in Man-
hattan,

Hard on the Doo

You see, prior to introduction of
this plan, physicians were all too
often prevailed upon to misrepre-
sent the cause of death for pur
poses of the certificate if an in-
dividual had died of a disease or
ailment none too wholesome to
mention or even to think about by
those surviving the unfortunate
party. When he wouldn't comply,
he'd likely lose many patients, All
of which, according to Mr, Duf-
field. resulted in compilation of
inaccurate statistics

Under the new system, certifi-
cates are filed in two sections,
One is a confidential report that
goes to the Board of Health only
for statistical purposes, ‘Tha
other, which also goes to the
fomily and, perhaps, insurance
companies. This part states only
that death is due to natural
causes. The insurance people are
very mitch annoyed at this turn
of affairs, Mr, Duffield holds,
since they fecl information that
might be useful to them in settl-
ing claims is being withheld,
Denths from external causes
aren't reported in this certificate,

QUESTION, PLEASE

What

Service Rating?

D.R.J.: To realize fully what a
service rating is, you should know
this: at the end of a one-year
period extending from April 1 to
March 81, the services of each em-
ployee in the non-uniformed serv-
ices of the competitive class dur-
ing the previous one-year period
ave reported by his immediate su-
perior, A rating board then ar-
rives at 9 service rating in the
range from plus 6 percent to
minus 6 percent, on the basis of
these reports,

About Salary Increase

B.: The right of an employee
to receive an increase in salary
immediately after appointment is
limited by the rules and regula-
tions of the Civil Service Commis-
sion, Where a person certified for
appointment declines the position
by reason of insufficiency of the
compensation offered and when
such declination results in the ap-
pointment of an eligible not or
iginally entitled to certification,
the compensation of such an em-
ployee is not to be increased with-
in one year thereafter beyond any
amount offered to any person so
declining unless the eligibles or-
iginally declining have received or

declined appointment at a hightt
amount,

HOSPITAL. NEWS

About Fingerprinting
they've fingerprinted some 16,-
(00 of the 20,000-odd employees in
the Department of Hospitals, to
date, with Mayor ‘Butch’ La-
Guardia winding up with all the
prints. (Frankly, what does the
itle fellow do with all of them?)
‘phe whole thing, which is being
generated by the genial, diligent
pr, William F. Jacobs, superin-
tendent of Bellevue Hospital, a
master at this sort of thing among
many others, is designed not only
asa wartime measure (for identi-
fication purposes in case of bomb-
ings) but a8 @ means of furnish-
ing quick identification in any
number of civilian emergencies.
Here is Dr. Jacobs’ own clear,
well-studied view of the situation:
“[ have been interested in finger
printing as a means of identifica-
tion for more than 20 years, The
apprehension of the German sabo-
teurs who recently landed on Long
Island, and the possibility of air
raids in New York City, with all
of the potentialities of inability to
jdentify casualties, increased my
interest in this subject.

It appeared to me primarily
that our personnel in Bellevue
should be finger printed at once,
‘The only means of securing finger
printers to accomplish this task
was to establish a class in finger
printing in this institution, I
then cast about to find an in-
structor. Through the medium of
the American Women’s Hospital
Reserye Corps, I succeeded in se-
curing the services of Dr. Andrew
Roban, an internationally-known

finger print expert, and president
of the Finger Print Identification
Guild, Inc.

“This class was started last July
6, the class comprising 75 stu-
dents made up of hospital person-
nel and members of the A.W.H.
R.C, The course covers a period
of 20 weeks of one session weekly,
consisting of lectures and demon-
strations, and embraces the his-
tory of finger printing, its proces:
development of finger prints—with
special consideration of powder-
ing, lifting and photographing of
latent finger prints ing and
classification of the Henry Sys.
tem, the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation Extension System of
Classification and Filing, the
Battley Single Winger Print Sys-
tem, and a working knowledge of
some other 50 systems of finger
printing.

“Shortly after the course was
started, the City authorities de-
termined that all City employees
and civilians should be finger
printed as part of the defense
Program for identification pur-
poses. Incidental to my interest
in this worl, and the fact that !
had started this class in Bellevue
Hospital, I was given the task of
supervising the finger printing of
all of thé personnel in this depart-
ment, of more than 22,000 in 29
units in tHe five boroughs of the
city.

“Equipment. was given to me by
the Department of Hospital
Members of our class and yolun-
teers of the A.W.H.R.C., were as-
signed in teams of two to each
departmental unit. On arrival of
these teams at a unit, the unit
assigned two members of its per-
sonnel to observe the printing of
employees and learn to do finger
printing. These teams usually re-
mained at the institution for about
three days, after which time the
teams proceeded to another unit
and the observers carried on the
work of finger printing the unit
employees.

“The policy of developing finger
printers in each institution is
based on the fact that competent
finger printers should be trained
in each unit, to the end that all
subsequent new employees might
be finger printed at the time of
employment.

“On or about December 1 a new
class in finger printing will ba
started in Bellevue Hospital. All
of the institutional printers who
have been printing employees for
the last several weeks will be
invited to attend the new class,
It is also anticipated that several
administrative officers of the de-
partment who have become inter-
ested in this work will attend
this new class. As will a large
number of the personnel of Belle-
vue Hospital,

Ahout Vacancies

Vacancies are. still climbing in
the department, reports Eugene
R. Canudo, secretary. As of Oc-
tober 15, there were 3,280 in all.
Of this number, 1,445 were on
military leave. A total of 1,048
was tle result of a lack of at:
tendants, 863 resulted from de-
pletion in the nurses’ ranks,

Ard don’t forget: 1,000 nurses’
Jobs have been filled by attend-
ants.

Certifications

Twenty-one persons were certi-
fied last week by the Municipal
Civil Service Commission for
steno, grade 2, jobs in the Depart-
ment of Hospitals in all boroughs.
The opening pays $1,200 and ia
permanent.

Personal Note

Speak up, City Hospital Attend-
ant (he signs himself that way),
what is this report you're talking
about concerning the City admin-
istration as well as some hospital
news? Frankly, we haven't
seen it.

“In Terrible Labor”

‘That's a direct quote, boys, and
it was made about the sergeant
list. ‘Those trenchant words were
uttered by Samuel H, Galston,
Civil Service Commission's ace ex-
amining man, when we asked him,
“How's about the sergeant list?”
He added: ‘There will be a birth
very soon,” By that he meant you
can expect the sergeant list any
day now, We learned from Miss
Upshaw, who heads the examin-
ing staff, that failing candidates
Will get their grades slightly in ad-
vance of those who pass. You
temember there was a question
Whether all the marks should be
sent out together, or the failures
first, ‘The Commission feared a
deluge of telephone calls if the
failures went out first (it always

‘appens), on the other hand, tf
ail marks went out at the same
time, it would complicste the tech-

al work of the people on the
mining staff, So it was decid-
fd to brave the deluge of calls,
hoping that the men who don’t
ket they mark# as readily as do

POLICE CALLS

their brother - patrolmen, will be
patient and not hurry to the
Phone. We also picked up this
Piece of information: the list was
being held up last week only be-
cause the service records of eight
men hadn’t come through from
the Police Department.

We gave Commissioner Finn a
buzz to ask him the Police view of
the list. He told us the depart-
ment is now anxious to have the
roster. That might indicate fast
appointments in the offing—or it
might not. Anyway, fellas, it’s
close.

You might be interested in this,
too: there will probably be less
than 2,000 names on the list.

Manpower Problem

New York City’s Police Depart-
ment is in for a terrible manpower
problem—"very complicated’’ is
the way one police official de-
scribed it. The department isn't
taking on 3-A men married after
September 15, 1940; the number of
available men on the lst has been
cut down by the armed services;

no move has been made so far to
use the number 2 list (though we
think that’s only a logical thing
to do); and meanwhile the depart-
ment’s personnel gets less and
less. Is a new exam possible?
Yes, it's possible, but how much
good it would do is anybody's
guess. Seems to us that police-
men in New York City might well
be considered necessary men, and
deferred by Selective Service.
We'd like to get some views from
men in the department on how
this manpower problem might be
solved.

Rumor

If you hear the rumor that Sixth
Deputy Commissioner John H.
Morris is going to join the Army,
you can tell the guy who makes
this statement Commissioner Mor-
ris’ comment, to wit: “It's the
first I ever heard about i

Policewomen Hired

Well, 14 police gals were hired
last week, and 8 more coming.
That's something, considering how
sour the Boss is supposed to be
on women. The new gals are tak-
ing a course in the Police Acad-
emy—and any bozo who starts up
with them better say his prayers.

Further ‘results: ‘The LEADER
has learned from sources close to
the Postmaster that the subs now
have a greater inducement than
ever to seek war jobs, thus bring-
ing the possibility of hiring
“temps" the nearer. After all,
the rate of tilling permanent va-
eancies is doubtless going to fall
off sharply in a hurry and then
there'll be another long stretch
of waiting.

In short, as matters stood, or
sat, over the last week-end, the
subs were going to be on the short
end again. The old story: more
work but less for subs. About 80
“‘floaters' will most likely be the
proof.

The LEADER finds that the
New York post office heads don't
like this arrangement at all. B
the thing originates in Washing-
ton, apparently, and so what?

Of course, some sort of a com-
promise arrangement may yet be
made —especially since the boys
have taken to taking personal
shots at the people in the nation’s

bal buckshot should have been

tried long ago instead of written
protests and telegrams. The boys

For Vetgossip

By ARTHUR RHODES

Oh, Mr. Harley!

Over at the Veterans’ Adimin-
istration these days the talk is
mainly about Supervisor Joe Har-
ley of the second floor,

For instance, Joe Harley will
think nothing—perhaps even less—
of striding into his department
without his jacket. But Joe is
unwilling to overlook any em-
ployee working in  shirtsleeves.
Insists Joe: ‘An employee of the
Veterans’ Administration should
dress properly."

So enthusiastic has Joe become °

over his knowledge of business at
tire that he has been conducting
& one-man campaign for almost
a fortnight now against girls
wearing slacks to work.

Joe thinks nothing of spending
Precious Government time whis-
Pering to girls out of the south-
east corner of his mouth: ‘Don't
wear it, girls; it ain't becoming.”

Of course, his tone is somewhat
more acid than that, Joe really
means it. When two girls this
week paraded into the second
floor department with slacks, Joe
almost collapsed.

Pioneer!

‘The first ‘'gal” to parade into
the Vet Administration with
slacks is vivacious Ann Lamhut,
a diligent little steno doing 1
typist’s job at the moment and
filled with the sort of courage
they need in these days of war.
Ann strolled into Harleyville the
moment C. J. Reichert’s order © p-
Proving slacks for girls came
down from above. She's still wear-
ing them, and they haven't
lessened her efficiency a hit—de-
spite odd, puzzled, amazed,
amused and indignant glances,

Merit

Miss Myrtle Newton, the amia-
ble second floor sup2tvisor, ¢ocs
water coloring in her spare time.
Just one of those individuals with
more than one talent,

Back to Harley

Speaking of Jce Harley, as somes
body probably was a few para
graphs up, here's something ap-
propriate that came in this week's
mail anent last week's election:

“How are we expected to vote
for our choice if Mr. Harley, on
the second floor of the Veterans’
Administration, does not believe
we are entitled to official leave in
spite of the fact that several
floors in the building have closed
down for that purpose? Is this
not a trifle inconsistent, and why
should certain employees be grant
ed this privilege and others not?
Why?2272”"

Signed “SECOND FLOOR.”

The card, of couree, referred to
the two-hour Election Day leave
that was granted employees at tho
expense of subtracting similar
time from their annual leave,
The story here is that Washington
at first ordered this sort of are
rangement but rescinded it, How-
ever, departmental memoranda
had already gone out, thereby
creating resentment, No depart-
ments actually closed down, it
might be added,

Suggestion

Why not pay the boys and girls
on the 14th of this month so they
may be able to do their week-end
shopping?

Sight of the Week

The Vet Administration em-
Ployee trying te swallow a sande

ich and hurry up the stairs at
the risk of ruining the digestive
tract. It seems the liberal half
hour lunch period was over before

the individual had even been

served,

Practical Courses

Obtaining Positions

‘The importance of taking your
business courses in a school that
emphasizes thoroughness and
practicability cannot be stressed
too much, according to the manag-
ing directors of the Manhattan
Business Institute, 147 West 42nd
Street, at Times Square, in Man-
hattan, They go on to say, that
in competing for jobs, whether
in government, war industries, or
in private concerns, it is the ap-
plicant with the sound, complete
foundation of both theory and
practical application that wins out
every time, That is why this
school gives individual personal-
ized instruction in their courses,
covering every phase or condition
that might come up in actual
business life. It is due in great
measure to this type of instruc-
tion that the Manhattan Business
Institute can point with pride to
the fact that 100 per cent of their

Will the City’s Transit System
Do Its Part in the War?

To the People of New York:

More than six million passengers are carried daily on New York City’s Transit System.

In time of peace, the life of our City depends on this service. In time of war, the life of the entire Nation de-
pends on it—for New York City’s Transit Lines are a vital part of the Nation’s transportation system, which has an
unprecedented responsibility to discharge in this War for survival. A

Will New York City’s Transit System do its part in the Nation’s war effort?

The 32,000 men and women who operate the transit lines reply to this question with a thundering “Yes.” They
are more than eager to make their contribution to the war effort. But their employer, New York City’s Board of
Transportation, will not permit them to make that contribution,

In the eleven months during which our country has been at war, the Board of Transportation pursued a course
that has not only demoralized, but now threatens. to disrupt, the labor force on whom the war-time success of our transit
operation depends.

1

The Board of Transportation has rejected every constructive pro vosal made to it by the Transport Workers
Union for joint labor-managem onseryation of ¢ reased employee efficiency, air raid protection
and full utilization of our transit facilities for the war ef sult has been that critical materials are being wasted,
employee efficiency is deteriorating and our transit lines are not being utilized for the war effort,

In the entire period since Pearl Harbor, the Board embarked on only one project related to the war effort and
that resulted in dismal failure. It adopted a dim-out system that almost blinded its six million passengers. Had the
Board accepted the Union’s offer of cooperation, it could have established effective dim-out without discomfort or in-
jury to the people.

An even more serious blow is being inflicted on employee morale by the Board of Transportation’s shortsighted
labor poli More than three months ago, the Transport Workers Union, which represents the overwhelming major-
ity of the 32,000 men and women employed on the city-owned transit lines, presented the Board with a labor victory
program which included the following two items: 3

(1) A general increase in wages, equal to 15% of the rates that prevailed on January 1, 1941, in conformity
with the policies of the National War oes Board and our government.

(2) A provision for union security based on voluntary maintenance of union membership.

Up to this time the Board of ‘Transportation has failed to comply with the Union’s request, notwithstanding
that the request is in accord with the policies established by the National War Labor Board. ‘These policies were de-
signed to maintain employee morale and to preserve the industrial stability essential to the war effort, So effective
un employer has refused to adopt them. Indeed, many employers

rant wage increases in accordance with the War Labor Board's
formula, On Monday of last week, the Third Avenue Transit System, which employs 3,000 men on its trolley and bus
lines in the City of New York, granted a 5% wage increase to all its employees, notwithstanding that,its present agree=
ment with the Transport Workers Union does not expire until June 80, 1943.

have these policies been, that not a single Ame
have opened up existing contracts with labor unions to

The Board of Transportation stands alone among American employers in its refusal to contribute to the war
effort by adopting the policies of the National War Labor Board.

Kiven less excusable is the Board of ransportation’s position when we examine the financial aspects of New
York City’s transit system. In the fiscal year ending June 80, 1942, the Board earned a net operating profit of more
than twenty-one million dollars ($21,000,000), or $800 per employee. No railroad in Americaean show a larger oper-
aling profit per employee. Yet, the real wages of the city’s transit employees have declined by 27% in the last 2 years.

The Board’s labor policy is not only demoralizing but it is actually disintegrating the labor force upon which the
sticcess of our transit operation depends, Many skilled mechanics omployed on our transit lines are already leaving
their jobs because of inadequate pay and intolerable working conditions. Many more will undoubtedly leave unless the
Board reverses its reactionary labor policy. More serious perhaps is the restlessness and discontent on the part of
those who remain,

.

Citizens of New York City, your transit system is in danger of breakdown. You alone can save it. Write, wire
and "phone the Mayor demanding that he intervene at once and compel the Board of Transportation to adopt a labor
p>''cy in con/o-mity w’th that promulgated by the President and the War Labor Board, so that New York City’s transit
system may make iis contribution to the welfare of our people and to victory for our country.
