Choral Group
ALBANY, July 14 — The Civil
Service Employees Association ts
exploring the possibilities of form-
ing a choral group. One June 30,
eight members met with Henry
Galpin and Philip Kerker of the
Association staff to discuss the
problems of organizing groups
within the Association who are
interested in singing. The project
has many possibilities, and is one
of the many Ways in which mem-
ber interest in the Association can
be developed.
Another meeting will be held on
July 28, Marian Dwyer of the
Court of Claims, Helen Forte of | C
the Department of Civil Service,
Estelle Rogers of the Department
of Law, Susanne Long of the De-
partment of Taxation, Joan Han-
jon of the Department of Audit

Department, and Kenneth Sulli-
van of the Department of State

sion.
State Recruits
1300 Stenos
And Typists
ALBANY, July 14—More than
1,300 typists and stenographer
jobs have been filled by the con-|
tinuous recruitment program in
the five and one-half months end-
ing May 31,
Since the inception of the pro-
gram in the middle of December,
& total of 6,185 persons were test-
ed. Of these 50 were mined
in New York City and 1,723 were
tested in Albany.
Of those tested 1,397 qualified
for typist positions and 1,125
were approved for stenographer
jobs. New York City and Albany
shares of these were 625 and 429
respectively for typist and 547
and 269 respectively for stenog-
rapher.
By the end of May, the latest
date for which rate figures
were available from throughout
the state, 729 typists and 644 ste-
nographers were placed in perma-
nent positions.
Among these 447 typists and
365 stenographers were employed
in New York City and 259 typists |
and 200 stenographers were hired
in Albany.
Remaining On Lists
Remaining names on active lists
for appointment at the end of
May numbered 148 on the typist
Uist and 110 on the stenographer
list. However, most of these were
fn scattered locations upstate
where the program got under way
several weeks later than in New
York City and Albany. In those
two cities there were but 36 and
46 names respectively on the list
for typist and 20 names in New
York City for stenographic jobs,
‘There was no active steno list for
‘Albany.
The success of continuous re-
cruitment in the vexing fleld of
filling these vacancies has led to
the belief the program soon will
be extended to other troublesome
recruitment areas.

ALBANY, July 14—The one way
to solve the sensitive problem of
summer heat and the “time-off"
problems which it raises is to air
condition State buildings. This
way of meeting the problem
“head-on” would have many ad-
vantages, the Civil Service Em-
ployees Association told J. Edward
Conway, president of the State
Civil Service Commission, In a
letter to Mr. Conway, CSEA Presi-
dent Jesse B. McFarland pointed
out that the cost of air-condition-
ing would be offset against by
gains in efficiency, health, reduc-
tion of absenteeism, and employee
satisfaction.
Mr. McFarland’s letter on the
subject follows in full:
“IT have read with interest the
copy of the news release which
you kindly sent me relative to the
vexatious problem of closing the
State offices during the period
when the temperature makes it
difficult for the employees to
function under good working con-
ditions.
Diverse Vier it
“The question, in our opinion,
is so complex that we gravely
doubt if any equitable solution in
any formula that can be devised
which will finally solve the prob-
lem. The points of view among
the state employees regarding this
problem are not only diverse, but
are complicated by the points of
view which may be held by the
mass of employees and employers
who are not public servants, It is
obvious that when the state offices
close because of the heat, the
community cannot also shut down
for the same reason. Hot weather
is a general phenomenon in any
area, and affects the workers in
the utilities, merchandising, and
productive services as well as in
the public service. To stop or to
slow down the processes of govern-
ment is a costly process, It also
Air-Condition
State Buildings,
CSEA Suggests
engenders bad public relations as
it tends to accentuate the differ-
ences which exist between public
and private employment.
Complaints Justified
“We are not in any way imply-
ing by the recognition of these
facts that many of the complaints
voiced by State employees are un-
justified. In our opinion, they are
justified, as there exists many
buildings which are housing pub-
lic employees where the working
conditions border upon the impos-
sible during the periods of extreme
weather. Under these conditions,
not only is the efficiency of the
employee affected, but also his
health is menaced. To penalize the
employee who is forced to work
under these conditions which are
beyond his control, by subtracting
from some privileges, is unfair,
Air Conditioning
“Tt is our opinion that we should
meet the problem head on, and
urge @ program of air condition-
ing to equalize the difficulties of
temperature. The cost of supply-
ing mechanical refrigeration is,
we are aware, a factor, but when
weighed against the other costs of
efficiency, health, absenteeism,
employee dissatisfaction, etc.,
would it be out of balance? It is
also our opinion that these costs
would easily be met by the con-
venience which would accrue to
the State in the great reduction
in man hours lost because of ex-
treme temperatures,
“Industry which is extremely
cost conscious for the sake of prof-
its, has found it to be to its ad-
vantage to »rovide alr condition-
ing. A cursory glance at the ‘help
wanted’ columns, in the news-
papers, would confirm this.
“However, we realized that our
suggestion cannot be immediately
adopted, and thus we respectfully
ask a reconsideration of the for-
mula offered by the association as
an interim measure.”

Position of Assistant Claims Ex-
aminer been rendered in the posi-

Her Interpretation
Petitioner, however, interprets
the aforementioned provisions of
Section 41(3) to mean that, where
an employee {s appointed to a
lower grade position, he is entitled
to receive the minimum salary of
the grade to which such position is
allocated as of the date of such
appointment plus the number of
increments which corresponds to
his years of service in the position
frem which and to which he is
so appointed, Under this interpre-
tation, petitioner alleges, she
should have received, upon her
appointment as Employment In-
terviewer on September 1, 1950,
the fifth year rate of compensa.
tion for grade G-11, or $3588, in-
stead of the $3312 which she did
receive.

seeks to compel the respondents
‘© pay to her the additional sal~
ary which she claimed she should

Employee Airs
DPUI Problems
Because of the unsolved prob-
Jems facing employees in the
State Division of Unemployment
Insurance, The LEADER prints
below a@ letter and a memorandum
from W. Lee Thorne, a senior mai
ager in the Queens Industrial Of-
fice. The LEADER prints the data
without comment, and will be glad
to hear from other employees in
the agency.
“I have been an employee of
the New York State Employment
Service since January, 1931, hav-
ing started as an Employment In-
terviewer, and through promotion
attained my present position as
Senior Employment Manager.
Moreover, I have been a member
of the Civil Service Employees
Association all of that time, ex-
cept for the war-time break, when
we were federalized.
“It would seem then that I have
been through “ups and downs”
of all kinds in our Agency:
—tps and downs in the eco-
nomy from deep depression to war
production peaks;
—ups and downs in the Admin-
istration under three different
Governors (of two parties), at
least five Industrial Commission-
ers, about three Executive Direc-
tors of the DPUI, and at least a
dozen Directors of the Employ-
ment Servi
—ups and downs in the Law|
under which we operate, which had
the effect of expanding or con-
tracting our Agency's services;
—and finally, throughout the
entire period, the ups and downs
of labor shortage and labor sur-
plus, with ups and downs of in-
flation and deflation.
“Bo I have seen nearly every
kind of condition; been aware of
all the problems of recruiting staff
for our Service; and in its practi-
cal application, know nearly every
device and “trick-in-the-bag” re-
lated thereto. With this back-
ground, you will understand prob-|
ably why I expressed
I did to my Superintendent in the
enclosed letter when I learned of
the new plan.”
To: Mrs. Lucile 8, O'Connor (2)
From: W. Lee Thorne
Subject: Proposed Change
Classification Plan
A proposal to establish an Em-
Ployment Security Trainee title at
Grade 10, and elevate to Assistant
Claims Examiner or to Employ-
ment Interviewer, each at Grade
12, those persons who successfully
complete a year's probation, is
currently before this Division (its
Administration, its Management,
in
ny views as}
its Staff, and its Employee Or-
ganizations) as @ solution to the
problem of recruiting sufficient,
qualified persons in these two
entry titles.
Miss Sweeny met with groups of
staff at the Queens Industrial
Office to explain this proposal, and
to gain from them objective opin-
ion, enough of which has been re-
duced to writing to be forwarded
as attachments to this memoran-
dum,
Holding to Gains
I believe strongly that the Em-
ployment Service Management |
should hold adfastly to the]
gains that have been made through |
the years in building up a set of
minimum qualifications as en-
trance standards for the Employ-
ment Interviewer title. I firmly be-
leve that our management group
| should not readily be panicked by
any dulcet-toned panacea for re-
cruiting professional staff ina
difficult labor market. We have
jbeen through this beforet And
what matter is if we must give fre-
quent examinations to get suffi-|
cient interviewers to cover our
turnover, This is easier of accep-
tance as a philosophy than the
proposal,
My thinking is a far cry from
this Trainee idea of a common
entry title into both the Unem-
ployment Insurance and Employ-
ment Service functions. It is my
belief that the Interviewer, as well
as the Senior Interviewer, should
be classified higher than they are;
and never any less tha the
Assistant Claims Examiner and
Senior Claims Examiner, respec-
tively, (But let us not confuse this
Trainee proposal by discussing
Senior items at all!)
Certainly, there can be no mo-
tives beyond the plan imputed to
such capable and respected Ad-
ministrators as the Messrs, Loysen
and Brockway. However, I am sure
that most of the employee opposi-
tion to this proposal is born of a
fear that a less creditable and re-
putable administration could come
into power through the happen-
stance of a general election, and
were it unscrupulous enough could
easily (under severe political pres-
sure in a reduction-in-force situa-
tion), decree that: the Assistant
Claims Examiner and the Employ-
ment Interviewer, because they
were staffed from a mutual
Trainee title; because they were
in the same grade; because they
were in the same Bureau of th:
same Department;—for all these

BASIC WAGE STATISTICS
Henry J. Galpin, Research Analyst of the Civil Service Employees Association fn an
interim report released this week stated that the Consumer’s Price Index again rose
slightly over the previous month and has nearly reached the all-time high of 189.1 of
January this year, As is the case for several previous months the wholesale index con-
tinues to drop and is nearly 4% below a year ago. There are signs now showing up that
would indicate a cessation of this down trend in the wholesale prices and that this phase
of the structure is firming.
The general picture shows a continuation of the sidewise movement of the economy
with no pronounced trends. Weekly earnings in manufacturing are down slightly.
It is interesting to note that the percent change from one year ago is smaller, gen-
erally, this month than last. This would tend toward increased economic stability. The

points out that the State pay
raise which went into effect last
April 15 means a net raise of only
69%4 cents a week to Mental Hy-
giene attendants. The inadequacy
of that raise, he argues, points up
the necessity of reclassifying up-
ward the men and women who
care for the mental ill, He adds
that the pay increase ($1.51 semi-
monthly) is for a 48-hour week —
8 hours of overtime at straight
time. Mr, Ferro is president of
the Gowanda State Hospital chap-
ter of the Civil Service Employees
Association.
His full statement follows be-
low:
Editor, Civil Service LEADER:
Some 76,000 State civil service
employees received their first in-
stalment of the emergency raise
granted by the 1952 Legislature,
in their April 15 checks.
This raise generally referred to
as a “6% raise’ was sadly dis-
\ppointing to many State workers
when it appeared in “check” form.
Various members of the adminis-
tration referred to the raise as

Association did not agree and sub-
mitted accurate figures to justify
&@ 15% adjustment and respect for
the $300 minimum which was part
of the 1951 plan,
Here is what one of the Atten-
dant group — a vital position in
the Mental Hygiene Institutions —
received in the way of emergency

This man got a net raise of|
$1.51 semi-monthly or exactly
$0.69% a week.
“adequate” to bring the salary in
This can hardly be said to be!
for a forty-eight hour week, over-
time for eight hours at straight
rate being included. The State
does not pay time and one-half
for overtime.
Did Legislature Understand It?
We do not believe that the mem-
bers of the Legislature understood
when they approved the “6%
raise” that the actual increase for
so many vitally needed workers
would be so pitifully small.
The State of New York is seek-
ing to carry on a highly important
program to meet the terrific chal-
lenge of mental illness, It needs
to recruit efficient men and women
as Attendants in its Mental Hy-
giene Hospitals and Schools. The
Attendant group is now appealing
to the State Classification and
Compensation Division for a mod-
erately higher salary grade, The
facts as to the extent of the emer~
gency increase will indicate that
this did not correct the low pay
situation existing in the case of
| this group, and that there is seri-
ous need for paying a salary com=
mensurate with the duties and‘re-
sponsibilities of the position of
Attendant if the State is to re-
cruit and hold the personnel
needed for satisfactory results,

Releasing a Flood
Of Creative Energy
ACHINERY has finally been set up to pay NYC em-
M ployees in cash for their ideas and suggestions. The
plan is excellent; The LEADER has been urging such an
approach for years, and actually drafted legislation to put
it into effect.
There was a time when in many departments em-
ployee suggestions were frowned upon. This new plan will
release a flood of creative energy, will result in brilliant
new ideas that will provide more efficient government.
That has been the effect wherever such plans have been
initiated. °
However, an analysis of other suggestion plans pre-
pared by the Division of Analysis of the NYC Budget Bu-
reau indicates that an appropriation of $10,000 for em-
ployee awards might prove inadequate. In a single year,
the Socony-Vacuum Company awarded $27,725 to em-
ployees for good suggestions; the Ford Motor Company
$244,950. The U. S. Navy Department made awards to-
talling $270,668 to employees.
Incidentally, there need be no fear about appropriat-
ing a substantial amount for awards, because a good sug-
gestion plan pays for itself many times over. The New
York State Merit Award program saves the State about
$500,000 as a result of employee suggestions. The Navy's
suggestion plan resulted in savings of almost $17,000,000
in two years.
We would like to see every possible encouragement
given to employees. Awards should be large enough to
spur wide thinking and activity about improvements in
government operation. Consideration ought also to be
given to other possible inducements, as well as cash:
credit toward promotion, additional time off, and salary
increases. 4
A Poor Way
To Encourage Morale
HE attack on public employees continues, In its last
days Congress passed a vicious bill curtailing the use
of vacation time by Federal employees. President Truman
put it correctly when he said of this amendment: “Whitt-
ling away of employee rights is a poor way to encourage
high morale and productivity in the Federal servic
Civil service is indivisible. What happens to it in one
place will affect what happens to it in another. Inexorably,
you'll find narrow-thinking individuals seeking to cut down
leave in other units of government, State and local, point-
ing to the precedent set by the Federal Government,
It is essential to battle for better civil service every-
where, and to resist attacks upon the public employee
wherever they may occur, and from whatever source.

HOW CLASSIFICATION WORKS
(Continued from last week)
By MORRIS WEISSBERG
“When a job is reclassified
downward, the Civil Service Law
provides that the salary of the
rson holding the job shall not
reduced as long as he continues
to occupy that position.”
Classified Out of a Job
In my opinion, the first para-
graph of the above interpretation
makes it possible for a competi-
tive employee to be classified out
of his job, by requiring him to
compete in an examination for
his own job. The statement that
such an employee ‘will be placed
in the vacancy left by the em-
ployee who is appointed” assumes
that the department head is will-
ing to fill that vacancy by the
transfer to another job of the in-
cumbent who failed of appoint-
ment to his own job, and assumes
further that the person appoint-
ed was already in the State ser-
vice in the same department and
bureau, The statement says that
appointments are to be made
“from an appropriate eligible list
if such a list exists,” and not
necessarily from a promotion list.
In my opinion this is not the in-
tent of the law, since it provides
further:
“A preferred list established
pursuant to section thirty-one of
this chapter shall have no prior-
ity with reference to a new posi-
tion created by the declassifica-
tion of an existing position pur-
suant to this chapter.”
Reserved for Incumbent
This seems to indicate that “a
new position created by the re-
classification of an existing posi-
tion” is reserved for the incum-
bent employee, and that such a
“new position” need not be filled
from a preferred list, nor, by im-
plication, from an open competi-
tive or promotion eligible list
it would simplify matters to
provide that the incumbent shall
be reclassified or reallocated up-
ward along with his job, but when
the position is reclassified or re-
allocated downward, the salary
and salary grade of the incum-
bent employee shall not be re-
duced while he remains in that

contrary to stories which have been current in Albany for aa
months. Even the staunchest party mem! around the Capitol have
been expecting to resign early next year, probably at the close
of the 1953 legislative session. A change of Governors Would also mean
a change of state chairmen, in all probability. Now, however, Dewey
and Pfeiffer have raised speculation as to whether or not their Chi-
cago statements were simply for effect at that time or represent
something more basic, It is well known that Dewey would like to get
into private law practice just as soon as he sees his way clear, Most
Capitol observers have adopted a “wait and see” attitude, with the
odds favoring those who expect the Governor to resign before his
full term has expired.

JOHN M. MURTAGH, Chief NYC Magistrate, will come out with
plan revising probation setup... Judges in all courts want more
social services, higher pay for employees who help rehabilitation . . .
Privately, magistrates and other judges deplore lack of proper “fi
low-up” in cases where persons who come before them could be help-
ed, but who return to the same environment . . . Biggest speed-up in
work of NYC magistrates’ courts came with introduction of business
machines. You can’t get away with multiple traffic offenses now. Just
put last two numbers of your license in the machine and out comes
your whole personal traffic history.

They had to get an increase. What's more, that increase gets poured
right back into inereased ¥ business.” Faet is, of course, that City
employees got only a fraction of total tax increase.

OMMENT
PITUTION EMPLOYEE
RES BOTH BARRELS
Editor, The LEADER:
I was against the Mahoney Bill
that proposed a dictator over
Civil Service. To me that was com-
parable to setting up a dictator
over these United States. What a
devastating blow to the Civil Ser-
vice employees if the Mahoney
Bill had become law!
Recently I had occasion to be
heard before the present Civil
Service Commission, During the
hearing the President of the Com-
mission walked out without ex-
cusing himself and did not re-
turn, If this is the way the Civil
Service Commission works, then
we should say, “Governor, it would
|-be nice if you threw out the pres-
ent Commission and put in a new
one of younger blood, with greater
vision of what is needed to make
State service more attractive and
efficient,"
To point out this unattractive-
ness and inefficiency, there are
several jobs held by temporary
employees who do not know how
or where they stand. Because of
outmoded methods, they do not
know when it is time to take an
examination, (Or should I say
when the Civil Service Commis-
sion decides to hold one). By the
time the Civil Service Commis-
sion gets around to holding an ex-
amination, these temporary em-
ployees are too old, therefore au-
tomatically out of a job. It seem:
to me that when a list is exhaust~
ed there should be an examina-
jtion immediately and pot one or ank “The LEAD-

tutions who have to work Satur-

these employees get extra compen-

in private industry? No! In private
industry an employee receives
time and a half for overtime, and
double time Sundays and holi-
days. What is done to alleviate
this situation by those in power?
Except to try and get a Mahoney

white colored disk having a black
stripe should be placed on a high

70, Of the following, the best
justifleation for placing an out-of-
service disk on the nozzle nearest
the roadway, as suggested in the
above paragraph, is that a disk
attached to the nozsle nearest the
roadway is (A) not likely to be
removed by unauthorized persons
(B) not likely to interfere with
normal fire fighting operations
(C) easily removed in case of an
emergency (D) likely to be close
to the scene of the fire (E) not
likely to be overlooked by firemen
arriving at the scene.
71. Of the following, the most
accurate statement on thebasis
of the above paragraph is that a
‘A) low pressure hydrant has at
Jeast one 3” nozzle (B) high press-
ure hydrant has at least one 244”
nozzle (C) low pressure hydrant
has at least one 24%” nozzle (D)
high pressure hydrant has at least
five 3" nozzles (E) low pressure
hydrant has at least one 314"
nozzle,
72. If one independent outlet of

tive, the proper action is to place
a (A) 214” white colored disk on
the defective nozzle (B) 3” white
colored disk on the defective
nozzle (C) 244” white colored disk
having a black stripe on_ the
nozzle nearest the roadway (D) 3”
white colored disk having a black

respect to the specific action to be
taken if (A) neither of the two
outlets of a low pressure hydrant
is serviceable (B) all four outlets
of a high pressure hydrant are
unserviceable (C) a low pressure
hydrant cannot be used at all for
Fire Department purposes (D)
only one of the 3” outlets of a

appearing in the paragraph.
“In the foam type of fire ex-
tinguisher, the three principal
chemicals used are aluminum sul-
phate, bicarbonate of soda, and a
stabilizer. Generally about a 50
per cent water solution of alumi-
num sulphate is used in the small
inner chamber. The large outer
chamber contains abeut 8 per
cent bicarbonate of soda, 3 per
cent stabilizer, and 89 per cent
water. The purpose of the stabili-
zer is to make the bubbles smaller
in size and more tenacious. The
method of operating the extin-
suisher is by inverting it, where-
upon the chemicals in the two
chambers are mixed to produce

not only the foam but pressure to
expel the foam. The principal ex-
tinguishing agent consists of
minute bubbles of carbon dioxide
gas entrapped in walls of insolu-
ble aluminum hydrate, to form a
strong, tough, elastic and adhesive
foam that will stand considerable
abuse. In volume, more than 90
per cent of tne roam is carbon
dioxide gas, but foam contains
more than 85 per cent water by
weight, The foam forms a blanket
of bubbles over the burning ma-
terial, excluding the air and at
the same time cooling the surface,
The aluminum — hydrate gives
strength to the bubble wall and
renders cloth and other cellulose
products fire resistant. The foam
coats both horizontal and vertical
surfaces with a heat insulating
Jayer which clings wherever ap-
plied, and floats on even light li-
quids, It is harmless to the oper-
ator and has a lesser wetting ef-
fect than water, The force, length,
and duration of the stream are not
dependent on the operator. The ex-
tinguisher is not effective on al-
cohol fires and must be protected
from low temperature.”
74, According to the above para-
graph, a foam extinguisher is not
effective on (A) fires involving
liquids (B) fires involving chemi-
cals (C) burning wood (D) burn-
ing alcohol (E) burning cloth,
75. With respect to the total
contents of the fire extinguisher
described in the above paragraph,
the most accurate statement is
that there is, by volume, (A) less
water than aluminum sulphate
(B) more stabilizer than alumt-
num sulphate (C) less stabilizer
than bicarbonate of soda (D)
more bicarbonate of soda than
water (E) less water in the outer
Caataber: than in the inner cham~-
er.
‘76. Of the following, the best ex-
planation for the fact that foam
is 90 per cent carbon dioxide by
Yolume and 85 per cent water by
weight is that (A) water has a
greater density than carbon di-
oxide (B) water occupies a greater
volume than carbon dioxide (C)
carbon dioxide is heavier than air
(D) carbon dioxide is not a pure
gas (E) the water in the extin-
guisher is in solution.
77. The chief purpose of the
stabilizer in the foam extinguish-
er is to prevent (A) premature
chemical reaction of the contents
(B) rapid breaking up of the ca:
bon dioxide bubbles (C) evapo:
ation of the aluminum sulphate
(D) adhesio nof the foam to the
extinguisher (E) excessive gas
pressure in the extinguisher,
78. The chief reason for exclud-
ing alr from burning material by
means of a coating of foam is that
(A) the nitrogen in air is essen-
tial for combustion (B) a coating
of foam allows radiated heat to
escape (C) foamy lowers the igni- |}.
tion temperature of burning ma-
terial (D) carbon dioxide is decom-
posed by the heat of the fire (E)
@ fire needs oxygen to continue
burning.
79. The foam is expelled from a
foam extinguisher by (A) the force
of gravity (B) contraction of the
water in the inner cylinder (C) a
hand pump operated by the fire-
man (D) the force of the stabili-
zer acting in solution (E) the
Pressure of gas created by chemi-
cal reaction,
80. The one of the following
which describes most accurately @
limitation of the foam extinguish-
er is that (A) it may decompose
cellulose products (B) it may give
off dangerous gases (C) it may
freeze in low temperatures (D)
foam is @ poof conductor of elec-
tricity ‘E) foam bubbles are
rather small in size,

ALBANY, July 14—New York
State's methods of handling Civil
Service matters were under close
scrutiny last week by visiting ex-
S from the Philippines and
‘rom Western Germany.
Descending upon the state of-
fices in Albany simultaneously
were two representatives of the
newest Pacific republic and a
member of the Bonn federal gov-
ernment.
Representing the Philippines
Were Alipio L. Buenaventura, as-
sistant chief examiner of the
Philippin Ciyil Service, and La-
disiao Yap, chief of the personnel
classification and appointments
division of Philippine Civil Ser-
vice.
From Western Germany, via the
U. 5. State Department, came Dr.
Kurt Neis, of the Ministry of the
Interior. All of the visitors roame?l
at will through the various divi-
sions of the New York State Civil
Service setup, paying particular
attention to the examinations and
classifications procedures in use
here.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 14
—The National Civil Service
League today attacked on two
counts the method by which the
Government ts filling key posts in
the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
lunder President Truman's Reor-
ganization Plan No. 1,
The League charged that:
1. More than half of the newly
created positions the Bure:
are being filled by ““non-competi-
| tive appointments from within the
service.” New blood is not being
infused into the Internal Reve-
nue Bureau, thereby seriously lim-
iting the possibilities of obtain-
ing the most highly qualified per-
sonnel.
2. Byen in those districts where
}open competitive examinations
have been announced, in most in-
stances so few candidates have
applied that there is little assur-
ance that competent men will be
found for the jobs.
In a letter to Robert Ramspeck,
Chairman of the U. 8. Civil Ser-
son, Executive Director of the
League, urged three immediate
vice Commission, James R. Wat-
steps in implementing the Plan:
1. Insist that all the new Bu-
reau posts be filled solely on the
basis of open competitive exam-
inations.
2. Continue to accept applica-
tions for these positions for what-
ever length of time necessary to
obtain the maximum number of
qualified applicants,
3, Use all available media to
encourage additional applications
by qualified persons,
IT IS BELIEVED certain that
the President will sign the bill in-
creasing the benefits of more than
190,000 retired U. 8S, employees
and survivors, The bill increasing
the pensio of 166,000 retired
aides and 30,000 widows and chil-
dren of deceased Federal employ-
ees, was passed recently by voice
vote in the House, The Senate
passed a_similar retirement bill
several weeks ago.
According to the House bill,
Pensioners will receive raises
ranging from $36 to $324, which
will average $203 annually, while
survivors will average a gain of
$110 @ year, A provision inserted
by Rep. Murray (D.-Tenn,), how-

son A. Moyer, executive director
of the U, 8. Civil Service Commis-
sion, top career official in the

ced yesterday that he will retire

Mr. Moyer has been in the
Federal service thirty-seven and a
half years, all with the Commis-
sion, He was the first to hold the

nical and administrative official

Federal work force swell from
579,830 in August, 1933, to 2,574,-

becauses, decree that titles were
interchangeable, and that separa-
‘Mens therefrom should be on a
seniority basis across the Insur-
ce and Employment Service
ines. Moreover it would call for
exceedingly great integrity to re-
sist such a tempting solution to
such a dilemma!
The Great Fear
This, I repeat, is the great fear
of most Employment Service Staft
and Management; and it is prob-
ably impossible to get any accept-
ance of the plan, or any objective
consideration. There are too many
subjectives involved; and by that
I mean that Employment Service
staff is fully aware of the treat-
ment has received in the past
from its Insurance colleagues; the
deprecation of the professional im-
portance of the employment ser-
vice work that has been flung
about by some “executives” of the
U, I. Field Operations in reclassi-
fication hearings; and even the
lop-sided briefs by an employee
organization; and finally, their
@reat subjective fear is based on
the realization that in the Em-
ployment Service, in all grades
there are substantial numbers of
NYC _EMPLOYEESD
non-veterans; whereas in Unem~-
ployment Insurance (at least in
New York City), the staff is sub-
stantially a Veteran staff, which
under the present inequitable laws
of the State of New York regard-
ing Veteran preference and Vet-
eran retention, would decimate the
Employment Service if so-favor-
ably serious an economic condi-
tion occurred that the Unemploy-
ment Insurance function diminish-
ed to near-nothingness,
In all the above, I am aware
that I appear to be running con-
developing career employees into
trary to the modern theory in
progressively more important work
in their chosen fleld through
trainee entrance examinations at
college levels. Nonetheless, its suc~
cess in the Department of Civil
Service, Department of Law, and
in some of the British agencies, has
been “up a ladder”, not up two
ladders standing side-by-side.
Two Sets of Aptitude
I am so certain that the two
functions in our Pield Operation
involve two different sets of apti-
tudes and interests that I shall
probably always be a “diehard”

3,000 Housing Employees
To Get New Pay and Titles;
Union Protests:
A new classification of titles
and a salary schedule described
by N. Y. C. Housing Authority
chairman Philip J. Cruise, as “a
more complete and successful
‘agreement on changes in title and
salary increases than any depart-
ment in the City has ever
achieved,” will go into effect on
July 1, However, the changes are
still subject to approval by the
Civil Service Commissions of the
State and City and the Mayor, but
those OK's are expected without
delay. But the “agreement” looks
far from real.
ys. CIO
Although chairman Cruise said
that the reciassifications and
schedules had been made after
negotiations with Raymond Diana,
national representative of the
Government & Civic Employees’
Organizing Committee, CIO, the
Commissioner received a telegram
from Mr. Diana saying that his
membership had “voted unani-
mously to reject the wage pro-
posals." In the telegram, Mr. Di-
ana referred to “unpleasant” con-
sequences.

Union Claims
That the Authority failed to de-
liver on the entire “package” is
the claim of Mr. Diana, who points
out that the following items which
were in the agreement reached on
March 31, were not in the
final form of the Authority's pro-
posal:
1, Increments of $150 a year,
for laborers, porters, gardeners,
watchmen, stockmen, maintenance
men, firemen and foremen.
2. Increments of $200 per year
for Housing Assistants and As-
sistant Superintendents.
3. The cost-of-living bonus to
be retroactive to April 1, 1952

Ball Point Pen, Only 25c
Several weeks back we made such arrangements with
the manufacturer of a personalized ballpoint pen that
we were able to offer a limited number of them to our
readers at the sensational price of only 25 cents. Our
faith in this offer was speedily vindicated. Our readers
loved these pens, for each one had his name personally
engraved in 22-carat gold. The pens were scratch-proof,
leak-proof and smudge-proof, and guaranteed for life by
our source of supply. Other features included a long-life
cartridge, ink that dried instantly, and a haridsome cap
with easy-grip clip. Hundreds of readers told us that
their pens wrote better than ballpoint pens that had
sold from $1 to $20.
We have been trying to get an additional supply.
We are Happy to announce now that we have available
another group of these pens. The same arrangement
holds — for 25 cents and the coupon below you get this
pen, with your name engraved in 22-carat gold, But the
supply is strictly limited. Orders will be accepted only
till August 1. So don’t wait until it’s too late and be dis-
appointed. Use the coupon below.

cently completed by the Attorney
General. {The opinion states that
a Reserve employee entering mili-
tary service will have the same
limited rights as a war service em-
ployee in regaining his job fol-
lowing discharge, rather than
mandatory job reemployment
rights.
The war service employee's
rights were determined during
World War I.
The opinion makes it legally
possible for a Presidential order
to set up the Reserve, and grant
all reservists the rights and privi-
leges of a permanent employee,
except tenure. Only the Post Of-
fice, which would have authority
to make permanent appointments,
would not be covered by the Re-
serve plan.

ployees are considering the exer-
cise of their re-employment rights
to jobs in established agencies
even though it means many would

The economic agencies which
include the offices of Price, Wage,
Salary, Rent and Economic Sta-
bilization are also faced with a
sharp cut of about 7.000 jobs.
Officials say that the $60 million

Outline of a Basic Public
Relations Program for CSEA
By PHILIP KERKER
Public Relations Director
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion,
The organization of govern-
mental employees is @ rapidly
growing phenomenon in the field
of public administration, It is a
movement which began almost a
century ago, but which within the
last generation has accelerated to
‘ pace which is demanding pub-
lic adjustment and response, To-
day, more than one million civil
servants are enrolled in some one
of the many employee organiza-
tions, The large increase in the
membership rolls of such organ~
izations is a natural concomitant
of the expansion and complexity
of governmental services. From
the mid-1930's to the present, the
rate of growth has been very
rapid. Interestingly enough, this
development has not been con-
fined to the area of continental
United States, but is world-wide.
A cursory survey made by me last
year through correspondence with
approximately 50 consular offices
showed the movement to organize
goyrnmental employees to be
very active. One newly formed
countiy — Pakistan — reported 18
such organizations,
Tt is not necessary to belabor
this point .The development of
the Civil Service Employees As-
sociation from its date of organ-
idzation to the present is sufficient
to emphasize these facts, It is,
however, significant that as a re-
sult of these movements, the or-
ganization and program of the
Association must be materially
affected,
Sound, Flexible Administration
An organization of 54,000 mem-
bers, such as the Association, will
find progress slow in the com-
petitive struggle of employee or-
ganizations, unless great care and
thought is given to the problems
of internal organization and pro-
gram, The structure must be un-
der constant surveillance to in-
gure a sound and flexible admin+
istrationr-and its external fact
06 ile poogram must he attuned
jto achieve the objectives of. the
organization, to meet the variety
of needs of the members, and to
present to the body politic an as-
pect of assurance and communal
interest which will create a posi-
tive and favorable opinion rather
than a negative one. It is with
these last which I feel myself to
be particularly concerned. It is in
this area that I feel the great-
est immediate needs of the Asso-
ciation lie.
Chapter a Civic Group
The Guylay Report, which was
made to the Asociation in 1950,
ably presents both the long and
the short range objectives of the
Association, There is no need to
review or discuss any of these ex-
cept perhups the item No, 5 in
Part If which is entitled “Sug-
gested Activity Guide For Local
Chapters.” The section headed
“What Action Must You Take
Locally” contains in the first three
paragraphs, the programs which,
T feel, should be emphasized by
the Association at this juncture.
The report states, “From a long
range point of view, perhaps the
most important objective of the
local program is the integration
of public employees as @ group
with the community in which
they live and work, The impor-
tance of identifying the chapter
as an important civic group can-
not be overemphasized.
‘This is not @ project which will
be accomplished in a short space
of time. It must be kept con-
stantly in mind, and every oppor-
tunity to cooperate with other
civic organizations should be
utilized,
The more interest you show in
the activities of the rest of the
community, the more sympathetic
they will be towards your own
program, You need the support of
these groups to help foster public
understanding and cooperation.”
Points of View
The Importance of these state-
ments cannot be exaggerated, An
Association of civil service em-
Ployees cannot fail to have points

-employeos, whieh
the Association constantly im-
pinge upon the social group of
which it is @ part, it is absolutely
essential that tolerance and un-
derstanding of the Association's
viewpoint be secured,
If the communal relations of the
local chapter are good, — if the
chapter shows by its attitudes and
activities that it is a part of and
not apart from the social and eco-
nomic groups of the community,—
if an intelligent and judicious use
is made of the radio, press, tele-
vision, &nd public forums in the
area,—if an effort is made to un-
derstand the point of view of the
community as well as present the
point of view of the chapter, then
the difficulties which surround
the achievement of some of the
objectives of the Association will
be minimized. Likewise, the good
communal relations at the chap-
ter level will be bound to have a
salutary effect throughout the or-
ganization, The good opinions of
the Association will be reflected
by the parent body, and a greater
receptivity by press and public of
its points of view will be had.
ps Taken
Some steps have already been
taken by the Association to
achieve these good communal re-
lations, The progress which has
been made merits optimism,
The participation by the chap-
ters in the Albany Tulip Festival
has had a favorable effect upon
the community, The Tulip Festival
is held under the auspices of the
City of Albany, and a committee
composed of the merchants of the
community, as well as the civic
groups, A member of the Associ-
ation staff served on the commit-
tee, Thirty-five members of the
Capital District Conference gave
many hours of their free time in
helping to stage and direct the
pageants depicting the history of
Albany which was held on the day
of the coronation of the Tulip
Queen. A letter of appreciation
has been received by the Associ~
ation from the Chairman of the
Committee, Mr. Jacob Van Armen,
an executive of the Niagara-Hud~
| eontent
son Power Company. rok ry
in Albany and in New York City,
have received good public response
and a very favorable press. The
effort to demonstrate the public
employee as a person with talents
and culture kindred to the gen-
eral citizen is particularly effec-
tive in this media, but it can be
duplicated in the display of other
talents.
A group of Association members
will meet this month to discuss
the ponsibility of developing cho-
ral groups throughout the chap-
ters, and plans are being made
for the holding of a short-story
contest within the next six
months,
These activities will not only
furnish outlets for the creative
and other talents of the Associa-
tion members, but also cannot
fail to create a favorable impres-
sion upon the general public.
In another area, letters have
been written, addressed to approx-
imately 50 secretaries of Rotary
Clubs asking for open dates dur-
ing the coming fall and winter for
speakers from the Association to
discuss the general problems of
government germane to the rapid
growth of its personnel and con-
tingent problems, It is planned to
develop the same programs
through the other service club or-
ganizations as Kiwanis, Lions,
Exchange, etc. A manpower sur-
vey of the talents among the As-
sociation members is being devel-
oped in order to utilize as fully as
possible capable members on the
chapter level for many of these
assignments,
Leadership Training
A project of great potentiality
has already been under way for
the past six months, It is still in
an experimental stage, but the
brief experience has shown great
possibilities, Last December, in
conjunction with the Cornell
School. of Labor and Industrial)
Relations, a training program for
developing leadership for chapter
officers was initiated. In Febru-
ary, March, April, May and June
of 1952, classes were held in Buf-
falo, Rochester and Albany, The
of the program was
geared to helping the present of-
fleers run more effective chap-
ters, and developing within the
chapter, officer material, The re-
sponse from the members of the
Association attending these
courses was definitely favorable,
and plans are being made with
Cornell con~
‘Unuance
starting of new ones in other
areas.
A Manual on Chapter Organiza-
tion has been prepared and dis-
tributed. It is weighted to achieve
good programs and good public
relations at the chapter level,
It ts also planned to have the
Association represented as far as
practicable, either through ex-
hibits or program participation, at
meetings of organizations inter-
ested in the common problems of
government as the American Po-
litical Selence Association, The
Civil Service Assembly, The Citi-
zens Budget Committee, The Lea
gue of Women Voters, etc, As
stated above, members of the
Association will be used wherever
possible for these events.
Open Forum
Related to the above paragraph,
and not the least important be-
cause it has been placed near the
close of the memorandum, is the
Possibility of the Association
Sponsoring an open forum, com-
parable in structure to the An-
nual Herald ‘Tribune Forum,
wherein the contingent problems
¢ the ne of Eesromentay em-
loyees and employee associations
could be fully discussed in rela-
tion to the effects upon communal
life and the fundamental princi-
ples of our American form of gov-
ernment. I realize this is a tre-
mendous undertaking, but I am
confident that the size of the ven-
ture will be minimized by the
widespread interest which it would
engender, particularly if efforts
were made to devise a program of
far reaching implication and se-
cure speakers of national promi-
nence.
It is contemplated to stimulate
comparable programs, and through
the media of personal contact and
brochure, to help the chapters to-
wards the achievement of good lo~
cal public relations, Efforts will be
made to stimulate the development
of good programs which will em-
phases the Association's objec
ives, and likewise link the chap-
ter closely to the community in the
working out of the growing com-
plex problems of government,
