annual meeting of The
Civil Service Employees As-
sociation convened here to-
day before a record-break-
ing attendance. It is a two-
day session this year, with
an extensive and. intensive
program.
Delegates from all parts
of N, Y. State have begun
considering vital issues from
which Association policy for
the next year will be
evolved.
The top item on the
agenda is a salary increase
for State employees.
Also up for consideration
is a resolution on pension
liberalization and the As-
Sociation-sponsored “Public
Employment Labor Rela-
tions Act.” The bill was
drawn by a special Associa-
tion Committee,
Association officers for the
next year also will be elect-
ed during the session ending
tomorrow.
High enthusiasm marked
the session. Besides the As-
sociation meeting, other ses-
sions were held by groups,
like the Conferences, com-
posed of Association Chap-
ters.

meeting will appear in next
week’s LEADER.]

Restored Life of Lists
Hailed by Employees
Special to The LEADER
ALBANY, Oct. 6.—Reports from
State and county employees re-
ceived here express gratification
over the action of the State Civil
Service Commission in restoring
the four-year life of promotion
fligible lists. The Commission
&cted after The Civil Service Em-
Ployees Association had pointed
out the possibly bad effect of a
two-year life for the lists, present
or prospective.
President Frank L. Tolman and
Counsel John T. DeGraff, of the
Association, made the plea to the
Board for a change back to the
former four-year rule.
The Commission was praised by
employees for its fairness and
speed in making the change that
puts the opportunities of promo-
tion eligibles back where they were.

for the ensuing year,” said Presi-
dent Dr, Frank L. Tolman today.
“They have already indicated
that wages and salaries are the
chief issues this year, Even em-
ployees in the middle brackets al-
ready feel the pinch. Adjustment
should be made as soon as pos-
sible.”
Promises of enthusiastic sup-
port of the higher-pay resolution
were received from employees from
all over the State.

New Form of VA Certificate Aids
Vets with Zero P.C. Disability
A new form of certificate of
disability will be issued by the
Veterans Administration, so that
veterans with less than 10 per
cent disability rating can be given
primary preference as disabled
veterans, though they receive no
disability pension from the U. 8S.
government. This group has been
rated as having “zero per cent
rating,” a@ term that has brought
conflicting State court decisions
The latest decision was that of
Supreme Court Justice Bookstein,
rendered in Albany, that primary
preference applies if a disability
existed at the time of certifica-
tion. The meaning of “zero per
cent” disability was not clarified.
Previously, Supreme Court Justice
Steuer, in N. Y. Courty, decided
against zero per cent disabled vet-
erans, without opinion, and the
Appellate Division affirmed this,
evidently on the theory that zero
per cent disability meant ‘no dis-
ability,” though it did not clarify
the disputed phrase, either.
The new VA certificate will
avoid any mention of “zero per
cent” disability and of percentage
of disability, except in cases of
10 per cent or more disability,
with which there is no dispute,
anyway.
The NYC Civil Service Commis-
sion wanted the percentages of less
than 10 per cent stated but the
VA wouldn't go along with that.
The VA approved the certificate
last Thursday after two weeks of
negotiations. Corporation Counsel
Charles E. Murphy approved the
certificate the next morning and
the Commission quickly voted ap-
proval at @ special meeting,
Dr. Frank A. Schaefer, Commis.
sion Secretary, told The LEADER
that the Commission would take
care of the paper work involved
in getting new certificates for
men with zero per cent disability
ratings. The actual mechanics of
this will be ironed out with the
VA early this week. Hereafter, all
new claims for disabled veteran
preference will be judged on the
basis of the new certificate.
Meanwhile, the Commission
Prepared to expedite promulga-
tions a number of lists and cer=
tifications from already promul-
gated lists. The Lieutenant, Fire
Department, promotion list will
be certified as soon as the paper
work can be completed. This list,
in particular, has been staled be-
cause of court action to prevent
certification of ‘zero percenters.”

Price levels depend on many factors. The level itself
is not as important as balance betweeh wages and prices,
between different groups of wage-earners, between wages
and profits, between sticky a ‘atic elements in our
economy (white collar workers and publie employees
belong in the sticky wage group).
Wages, salaries, production and profits must be brought
into balance, There must be a parity found and main-
ained by adjustments upward of depressed items like
white collar wages and perhaps downward for some out-
of-line food items and the like.

of the large number of titles on

regulation and rescinded its pre-
vious aciton so that the regula-
tion continues in force, as it has
been for some time, reading as
follows:
“The maximum term of an
eligible list shall be four years,
<aless otherwise prescribed by the
commission. An eligible list which
has been in force for longer than
one year or which has become ex-
hausted shall terminate upon the
establishment of a new list of
eligibles for the same position un-
less otherwise prescribed by the
commission.’
“Thus no eligible list has been
abolished in accordance with my
met.-orandum to you of July 18,
1947, except as a result of the
four-year limitation of law, ex-
haustion, or if superseded by the
establishment of a new list of

‘Leader’ Men Tra

EI
To Learn What Troubles Employees
BY MAXWELL LEHMAN
The truth is that the average
citizen of the State of New York
hasn't the slightest conception
of the variety, complexity and im-
portance of the tasks performed
by employees of the common-
ealth,
x Nor do top officials in Albany.
This became evident during a
tour which Morton Yarmon and
I, as represencatives of The Civil
Service LEADER, made over the
State, covering a total of 80 in-
stitutions and offices,
We went as newspapermen, with
certain objectives in mind. We
wanted to see at first hand just
what tasks are accomplished by
State employees, and whether or
not they are happy at their jobs.
We put in a total of 3,000 miles,
covering all but the northern tier
of the State, Last week, in an
editorial, we cited some conclu-
sions we had drawn from the in-
formation we gathered. In this,
and in succeeding articles, I plan
to describe the trip itself.
Our trip began on Monday,
September 15. Mr. Yarmon met
with William F. McDonough and
Joseph D. Lochner, 'n Albany. I
met with Laurence J. Hollister in
Utica, Messrs. Lochner, McDon-
1 and Hollister are all mem-
bers of the headquarters staff of
The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, With me also was Paul
Rice, LEADER photographer, who
came along for- the purpose of
photographing State employees at
their various jobs. The pictures
which resulted constitute one of
the most complete records of pub-
lic employees at work-ever taken.
Marcy State Hospital
Our first stop was at Marcy
State Hospital. We spoke with
Kenneth Hawken, President of the
Association chapter at the hos-
pital; with Doris Peck Secretary,
and with Charles Methe, head of
the Association membership com-
mittee. Moreover, we listened to
a dozen individual employees se-
lected at random. The problems
present at this institution are a
miniature of the problems I sub-
sequently found elsewhere in the
ati
sentially the problems were
these:
The incompatibility of a stable
sala in a time of spiraling
prices;
The need for a true 40-hour
week;
Better distribution of hazardous
pay for jobs involving hazards;
Restricted promotional oppor-
tunities;
The need for an improved re-
tirement system.
In the Marcy business office,
employees desire a 37-hour
week, on the ground that office
employees in Albany work 37%
hours, and there should be no dis-
crimination against employees in
Marcy today has one Senior Steno,
the medical office three. It is
felt that a new title should be
added—Principal Steno. Current-
ly, the Senior Steno has to do a
lot of work which might well be
considered out-of-title, including
@ good deal of clerical work. Sev~
eral persons suggested that insti-
tutional office employees should
be eligible to take the same pro-
motional exams as office employ-
ees in the cities.
We had wanted to see Dr. New-
ton J. T. Bigelow, Director of the
institution. He was absent, how-
ever, during our visit. I heard
the comment made that Dr. Bige-
low “has too many jobs.” Whether
or not this is the case, it certain-
ly is true that the personnel at
Marcy do not feel that their Di-
rector has a warm friendly inter-
est in them.
Rome State School
Next stop was the Rome State
School, an institution for the care
of imbeciles and morons. The
school is amazingly clean and
bright—one of ‘he pleasantest in-
stitutions of its kind in the State.
Even the old buildings are im-
maculate. The empioyees who
perform the menial tasks, who do
the “dirty” work of cazing for the
helpless and the young, deserve
praise and consideration which
they do not get today. “They're
angels,” the school’s director said.
He's right. Few tasks in the
whole category of human occupa-
tions are any more difficult than
these.
We spoke with pleasant Herbert
Jones, Principal Engineer, Presi-
dent of the Association chapter;
Owen W. Jones, Staff Attendant,
Vice-president; Mrs. Ruth Sted-
mun, Principal Clerk, Treasurer;
and Helen P. Mahoney, Staff At-
tendant, Chapter Secretary. In
addition we queried employees in
all parts of the institution, which
we examined in detail.
Conditions prevailing “here are
such that there were no major
complaints about the treatment
received by employees. Of course,
all want and need nigher pay;
they have passed a resolution to
that effect. They'd like to know
when the Salary Standardization
Board's new reallocations will be
made public, A report was due
on October 1 (see story, page 4).
They feel that many of the em-
ployees shoul? have higher allo-
cations for the work they are do-
ing
Syracuse
On the evening of the first day,
we attended a meeting of the ac-
tive Syracuse chapter. Under the
presidency of hard-working Doris
LeFever, long-time President of
the group, the chapter proceeded
to work out its business smoothly.
Among the resolutions passed were
these:
1, Minimum retirement, allow-
ance of $1,200 a year after 30
the fleld, The business office at years, with optional retirement
at age 55.
2. A 25 per cent cost-of-living
increase in pay.
3. Increased travel allowances
for employees on the road.
4. Business office employees
should be reclassified in accord-
ance with the nature and quality
of the work they actually do.
5. Former employees of the
United States Employment Ser-
vice who were taken into State
service should be granted con-
tinuous credit for retirement pur-
poses.
LEADER Thanked
The chapter also passed a
unanimous resolution thanking
The LEADER for its help to State
employees.
I was asked to make a speech,
even though I had come only to
listen and to learn. (Through-
out the course of the trip, there-
after, I had to double as a
speaker.) I outlined the princi-
ples of good public relations, par-
ticularly important during the
coming year if employees are go-
ing to obtain the pay rise they
urgently need. I suggested ways
of obtaining 2 “good press,” told
my audience i+ would be necessary
to impress their case upon the
local legislators and the local
Political bosses, advised that all
avenues of communication in the
locality b@ covered by a special
committee set up for the purpose,
and proposed that other organi-
zations—like the League of Wo-
men Voters, the veterans groups,
etc.—with which members have
contact should be enlisted in the
coming drive for higher salaries.
It would be necessaty, I told them,
for the activity to begin at once.
If they waited until the Legisla-
ture is in session, it might be too
late.
Already aware of the import-
ance of public relations, mercur-
ial Joseph Mercurio, chapter
Treasurer, got on the phone im-
mediately after the meeting and
told the story to the press.
Syracuse employees raised a
variety of questions about numer-
ous lesser problems. They wanted
to know why a man who is hurt
on the job and receives work-
men’s compensation, stands the
Possibility of losing part of his
retirement pay, under certain
conditions. They wanted to know
when the Senior Steno list is com-
ing out (Note: Civil Service Com-
mission is now considering ap-
peals from the key answers);
they wanted to know why the
Salary Standardization Board
doesn’t answer requests for infor-
mation, and when its new report
would come out. And shey wanted
to know why the State isn’t using
the $3,000,000 allocaied by the
Legislature for the purpose of de-
fraying the cost of reallocations
retroactive to April 1 'ast. (Note:
the case is now before the courts.
See story on page 2.)

Labor Relations Law is Sought
As Safeguard to State Workers
ALBANY, Oct, 6—If a program
now in the formative stages be-
comes law, employees of the State
of New York will be “in” on one
of the most momentous advances
in the history of public service,
The program is embodied in a
bill tentatively known as the "Pub-
lic Employment Labor Relations
Ac It results from deiibera-
tions of a special body created by
the Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, which studied and de-
bated labor-relations-in-Govern-
ment as practiced throughout the
United States and in various other
nations.
The proposed law attempts to
Provide for orderly discussion and

plish this purpose it provides for

time members, including one pub-

Two Main Functions
The board will have two prin-
cipal functions: first, in connec-
tion with joint committees of
civil service employees and ad-
ministrators; secondly, hearing
appeals involving the Condon-
Wadlin Act and other disciplinary
measures,
Provision is made in the bill for
joint employer-employee commit-
tees at the various levels and areas
of state government and the
board is empowered to determine
the various units, designate the
employee representatives and to

ters unresolved by the commit-
tees. The board would have no

to study and recommend possible

State Must Grant
A Salary Increase
O obtain the quality and number of employees it re-
iNsaives to perform the tasks of the people, Government
must make it desirable for the quality and number of
employees it needs to accept the positions it has available.
That this has not always happened—isn’t happening
now—has had a subtle deteriorating effect on the whole
concept of merit in Government.
The State of New York, for example, has a campaign
to reduce the incidence of tuberculosis, But tSate tubercu-
losis hospitals can’t get qualified nurses because private
industry offers those nurses better pay, better conditions.
Mental hygiene hospitals are undermanned—yet we
like to feel that the State of New York is seriously attack-
ing the problem of mental illness. It isn’t. There aren’t
enough psychologists, pathologists, or attendants. They
won't take jobs at what the State pays. i
At the Geneva Experimental Station, where impor-
tant scientific work is done—rock-bottom work that the
State farmers and industries need—there has been a fan-
tastic 80 per cent turnover of employees in the past seven
years. Why should scientific workers stay with the State
which p them so much less than private industry
would pay them?
It may sound like a cliche to repeat again that
an’t be expected to sing happily at rates of pay
‘e two years old when every front page screams
that food and clothing prices are still going up.
The employees of New York State look with an un-
precedented confidence to a cost-of-living increase when
the Legislature meets. It is not a confidence born of nai-
vete. It is a confidence grown out of the strength of their
case, and out of a knowledge of their power.
That case must be impressed upon every legislator
and upon the Governor; it must be brought to all the citi-
zens of the State, This is a time for action,
A Happy Ending
Reached Quickly
HE State Civil Service Commission’s restoration of the
-year life of promotion eligible lists is good news to
State employees. Through their Civil Service Employees
‘Association the State workers strongy opposed the reduc-
tion of the lists’ life to two years because of the injustice
such curtailment would work on eligibles, present and
future. The convincing arguments presented to the State
Civil Service Commission by Frank L. Tolman and Counsel
John T. De Graff, of the Association, convinced the Com-
mission that the four-year rule should be restored. Let it
be recorded that the Commission was fair and consider-
ate in reversing its position when the facts indicated
reversal.

Merit Man
DR. DAVID M.
SCHNEIDER
MANY citizens who will go to
Albany in the coming years
to do business with the State Goy-
ernment will owe a debt to David
M. Schneider. They will be saved
time and effort by being directed
promptly to the proper govern=
ment unit for the transaction of
their business, The State’s sprawl-
ing Albany physical plant will no
longer confuse and baffle the un-
initiated. When Dr. Schneider's
Suggestion is carried out, there
will be a qualified informational
officer stationed in the Governor
Alfred E. Smith State Office
Building, prepared togguide citi-
zens who need help in getting
around quickly and getting their
business done without waste mo-
tion.
For this proposal, Dr. Schneider
has received a Certificate of Merit
and a check from the State Em-
Ployees’ Merit Award Board. In
notifying him of the Board's
award, Chairman Clifford C. Shoro
wrote “the Board is of the opinion
that your suggestion at this time
will aid in expediting action on a
desirable project which will be of
unmeasurable aid and service to
the public.”
Safeguard for Questionnaires
Dr. Schneider did not rest on
these laurels. He promptly
thought up another idea—and
this, too, was accepted by the
Board as a “specific, constructive
solution to an existing problem.”
His second suggestion was that
all special questionnaires to be
released by State agencies be
cleared With the Budget Direc-
tor’s office first, and that approval
from that office carry an expira-
tion date. Such a procedure
would avoid duplication and con-
fusion, and would improve the
value of the questionnaires.
Director of the Bureau of Re-
search and Statistics of the State
Department of Social Welfare
since he organized it 17 years
ago, Dr, Schneider is a prolific
participant in a wide variety of
fields. He is.Chairman of the
Education Committee of The Civil
Service Employees Association,
and has just been elected Presi-
dent of the Social Welfare Chap-
ter of the Association, A former
President of the Albany Chapter,
American Statistical Association,
he is a former Vice-president of
the national body, and is affiliated
with the Advisory Committee on
Statistics Concerning Children,
U. 8S. Children’s Bureau. He is
also a member of the National
Panel of Arbitrators and of the
Motion Picture Panel of Arbitra-
tors. An indefatigable worker, he
has been drafted three times to
fill the job of Chairman of the
Fort Orange Chapter, American
Association of Social! Workers,
Well known in Masonic circles,
he is past Master of Washington
Lodge 855, Albany. He has a score
of other connections in profes-
sional societies.
Helps His Fellow-man
A sizable army of young hope-
fuls seeking “contacts” and try-
ing to break into various fields
have benefited by his many asso-
ciations and wide acquaintance.
Several of his proteges are in
public service, and a number of
them owe their promotions to his
study suggestions and helpful
guidance,
He is not only a man of action
but a writer as well, He is co-
author of the definitive “History
of Public Welfare in New York
State,” contributor to the “History
of the State of New York,” and
author of more than 30 other
articles and monographs.
At Johns Hopkins University
he received his M. A. degree in
1926 and the following year was
made a Ph. D. He heid the Uni-
versity Scholarship,
Tension
Duties Cited
By WILLIAM A, PATERNO
Chi iT U
It is regrettable that the officers
in our penal institutions are the
only law enforcement body in the
State not allowed an eurly retire-
ment. These officers cannot retire
until they have reached the age
of 60 regardless of the number of
years of service. To retire at half
pay they must have served the
Btate at least 35 years,
Contrast this situation with
that of the police of NYC or the
State Troopers, who may retire
after 20 or 35 years of service.
Also, take the case of the FBI
agents, who may retire after 20
years service, or the police of the
municipalities of the State, who
may also retire after completion
of 25 years of service.
The work of the Prison Officer
is perhaps the most hazardous of
any crime-prevention agency in
the country.
Trying Duties
Our everyday duties place us in
constant and exclusive contact
with some of the lowest forms of
humanity — perverted, depraved
and vicious persons who have been
convicted of every conceivable
crime. Men who look on the blue
uniform of the Guard as a symbol
of the cause of their plight often
inflict supposed vengeance upon
the wearer, either by direct as-
sault or by assuming a constant
attitude of antagonism.
-While person engaged in normal
occupations go about their daily
tasks in the healthy environment
of friendly business acquaintances,
taking for granted the every day
Pleasantries common to the out-
side world, we in the prisons are
surrounded only by the debilitat-
ing influence of characters who
are not considered fit to be in
association with decent people.
We, in turn, are charged with
the esponsibility of retaining
these men in custody, of main-
taining discipline among them,
and by every means at our com-
mand to attempt to inculcate a
sense of social and moral values
by @ carefully planned program
of rehabilitation so as to one day
again fit them into normal society.
The striking contrast between
normal occupations and our own
is seldom considered by persons
in ordinary life.
Nervous Tension
Being unarmed and heavily out-
numbered, the guards face the
ever-present threat of attack by
Guard
in Plea
For 25-Year Pension
inmates, riots and escapes, The
constant nervous tension takes q
physical toll. Our men age pre.
maturely as a direct result of our
occupation.
The average age of Prison
Guards entering the service, ac.
cording to the Department of Cor.
rection Guard School figures, ig
28 years. Under the present sys.
tem, @ man entering at age 28,
to retire, must serve 35 years, or
attain age 60, Thus the average
retirement age at half pay would
be 63 years. Prior to 1936, the
age limit for Guards at entrance
into service was 45 years. Many
of these men who entered near
that age have little or no chance
of ever retiring at half pay under
the present pension system,
Men of 55 to 65 years and over,
in many occupations such as the
commonly called .desk jobs, ex~
ecutives, etc., often maintain and
sometimes exceed their value and
efficiency to the job at these ages,
Obviously this cannot be said of
Prison Guards,
Teen-Age Problem
A recent survey by the Fed.
eral Bureau of Investigation re-
ports that 56 per cent of the crim.
inals today are teen-agers. Prison
Guards of 55 to 65 and over are
expected to maintain custody and
discipline over this vicious and
aggressive group of criminals.
An emergency may be declared
at any time for sufficient reason, |
such as escape, riot, fog duty, etc.
which requires as high as 24 hour
duty without relief, Such emer-
gencies may endure for a week,
No additional compensation is
provided for these extra hours,
Otherwise in the Old Days
Section 470 of the Correction
Law provides that officers enter-
ing service prior to July 1, 1921
may retire on half pay after 25
years of service, the entire cost
being borne by the State. Many
of our men have availed them-
selves of this privilege and a num-
ber of men now in service are sti))
eligible for these benefits, It is
quite apparent that such a condi-
tion is a deterrent to high morale
in an institution where men under
the old system and those under
the present system work side by
side in the same occupation. Thus
the State at one time considered
our occupation worthy of 25-year
retirement, A thorough under-
standing and fair evaluation of
our position will result in the
achievement of pension gains for
Prison Guards as a matter of
simple justice.
Vet Preference in NYC
Editor, The LEADER:
On the present Assistant Fore-
man (Department of Sanitation)
list, a total of 1,471 men aspire to
promotion. Of these, about 400
veterans claim disabilily, Around
half of these claims are based on
zero per cent (flat feet, appendec-
tomy scars, allergy to woollen
socks, etc.). During the four-year
span of the lst only about 300
promotion will be made. If zero
per cent preference is granted to
these veterans, there will be no
advancement for non - disabled
veterans and non-veterans on this
list or future lists. Since this con-
dition prevails in other NYC de-
partments, namely, the Fire
Lieutenant eligible list and the
Comment
forthcoming Sergeant lst, the
situation is clear.

DRIVE TO INCREASE INCOME NOW
OF 2,000 POLICE AND FIRE
PENSIONERS GAINS AFTER A MEETING
A bill to increase the pensions
paid to members of the uniformed
forces of the Police and Fire De-
partments retired prior to 1940,
now before the Finance Committee
of the Council, is receiving in-
creased sttpport. A Citizens Com-
mittee, headed by Dean Alfange, is
striving to get favorable action
an the bill. Also, various organi-
zations have pledged support to
the Retired Members of the Po-
Moe and Fire Departments (Lower
Bracket Pensioners), an organi-
zation that bas been striving to
remedy the plight of its members
for years.
DiFalco Seeks Action
A bill was unanimously adopted
by the Councii in 1945, providing
the requested benefits, but failed
of passage in the Board of Esti-
mate because of the cost. The new
bill costs less than $300,000 the
first year, and progressively less
in future year, and_ is more eco-
nomical to the NYC than the
former measure. The new bill
provides increases based on pen-
sion levels, instead of a flat basis,
and includes officers, The maxi-
mum attainable under the step-
up provided in the new bill would
be $1,500 for officers. The former
bill provided a general $1,200 max-
imum.
Councilman S. Samuel Di Falco,
who introduced the new bill, is
endeavoring to get a favorable
report from the Finance Commit-
tee. Also, a delegation from the
Retired Members visited Louis
‘Cohen, Assistant to Mayor Wil-
liam O'Dwyer, and other groups
from the Retired Members saw
Police Commissioner Arthur W.
Wallander, Fire Commissioner
Frank J. Quayle, Budget Director
Thomas J. Patterson and other
city officials. Philip A. Friedman,
law partner of Mr. Alfange, pre-
sented the argument to Mr.
Cohen. Former Police Commis-
sioner Richard Enright was pres-
ent at the conference. The feel-
ing is that the cause is progress-
ing.
All told, a little more than 2,000
would benefit from the bill. Of
these @ majority are members of
the association. All are at least
70 years old, many are in their
eighties, and some in their nine-
ties.
The plight of many of them is
told in letters in possession of one

of their leaders, Harry Diamant,
himself. 70, but spoken of as one
of the “younger men.”
Prices having skyrocketed while
pensions remained fixed—some
of the pensions being as low as
$250 a year, or less than $5 a
week—so that many old couples
have been desperately striving to
survive, The struggle for exist~
ence is next to impossible, some
of the couples have written.
If a Policeman or a Fireman
dies in service, his widow gets
$600 a year, but if he lives to re-
tirement age, he can get much
Jess pension than $600, which leads
some of the retired Policemen and
Firemen to say that had they
died, their wives would have been
better off.
What Other Cities Do
Considerable impetus in the
drive for adoption of ‘he bill was
given at a session held by the
@ssociation at Hampshire House.
Those present heard speakers
report that about a dozen cities
throughout the country have per-
mitted increases in pensions, in
line with rising living costs, when
the pay of the particular job in-
volved was increased. If a man
retires at 50 per cent rate from a
$1,200 job, he gets $1,000 pension.
In some of these cities, he is ask-
ed to pay the difference between
what he paid in and what he
would have paid in at the higher
rate, In others, this is not true.
Neither Council bills contained a
retroactive contribution clause.
Arguments Discussed

in opposition to granting relief

ed prior to 1940 is that the con-
dition complained of is general,
and if any one group ives:
benefit, all other groups would
seek it also, aad the cost would
amount to millions of dollars a
year, The answer given by pro-
ponents of the Council bill, in-
cluding former Lieutenant Nic
olas P. Sussillo, one of the lead-
ing figures in the association, is
in two parts: (1) the uniformed
members of the Police and Fire
Departments have separate pen-
sion funds, and the bill would
amend the provisions of the Ad-
ministrative Cude which set forth
the law in regard to these pen-
sion systems; (2) relief should be
granted also to others similarly
situated, as a matter of justice,
because of the distress in which
the elderly or aged recipients of
small pensions find themselves,
The first r's Cost is the largest,
diminishing about 12 per cent av-
erage each year. This removes
the aid from the fixed-annual-
amount class, and zero cost is
finally attained.
Pensioners have sought aid in
the Welfare Department, but rules
provide that aid shall not exceed
95 cents a day total in such cases,
and any pension in excess of that
would bar a person from Welfare
Department aid. Hence only those
receiving a pension of less than
$364.95 a year would benefit, and
never enough to even approach
the subsistence level for even one
Person.

What’s What in NYC Tests
Inside Story Obtained in Interview With McNamara
By H. J. BERNARD
The lack of agreement on a
veteran preference form, between
NYC and the Veterans Adminis-
tration, had held up numerous
eligible lists that the Commission
was anxious to promulgate, said
Acting President Joseph A. McNa-
mara of the Commission. He
mentioned that out of the first
35 on the Fire Lieutenant promo-
tion list there were 14 zero dis-
ability claimants, question
of what to do about zero disabil-
ity ratings had been the rub. In
general, NYC will no} allow pri-
mary preference in zero per cent
cases without a VA statement of
exsting disability, Agreement now
has been reached with VA (see
story, page 1).
‘The City and the VA had been
working closely on the problem.
'The Commission drew up a pro-
posed form, submitted it to Cor-
poration Counsel Charles E. Mur-
phy for appro’ he made some
proposed changes, it went to the
VA for adjustment.
Substantial Compliance Defined
The solution now reached is
‘|rigidly to the age rules as set
that the disabled veteran claimant
must show by a certificate from
fhe VA that he was disabled, in
zero per cent cases, and the asser-
tion of existing disability must
appear in all disability cases.
While the constitution provides,
in effect, that the disability must
be in existence at the time of
application, which means certifi-
cation, a certification by the VA
to a condition existing not more
than 30 days prior thereto will
be accepted by NYC as substantial
compliance,
Asked some questions about the
Fireman examination, Mr. McNa-
mara said that it would be opened
some time this winter that the
medicals would be held in the
early spring and the physicals in
the late spring.
On the subject of the recent
Patrolman examination, he said
that the Commission ts adhering
forth in the Administrative Code.
These make 20 the minimum ap-
plication age (no appointment
until one reaches 21), and provides
at the opposite extreme that the
candidate must not have reached
his 29th birthday. That means
he must not be more than 28. The
last day for filing is used as the
reference point for the maximum,
the first day of filing for the min-
imum. This comports with Com-
missioner McNamara’s rule of
serving the candidate, consistent
Nor each of the city’s in-
erest.
Patrolman List Combed
“About 40 were disqualified by
the Commission after they had
passed the Patrolmen written,
physical and medical tests,” said
Commissioner McNamara, “be-
cause they were over age or under
age.
“We are combing the list care-
fully, not only in respect to age,
but also residence and citizenship,
although no citizenship problems
have arisen. Thus candidates who
must be removed from the list
will not be certified or appointed,
which spares them the trouble and
expense involved in belated dis-
qualifications. They don’t have to
give up their civilian jobs and
buy uniforms and equipment, only
to find out that they can’t stay
in the job to which they've been
appointed. This is a general pol-
icy of consideration being applied
by the Commission.”
Competitive Status
Asked for Hospital
Dept. Nurses
The Joint Board of Hospital
Locals, American Federation of
State, County and Municipal Em-
ployees, has asked the NYC De-
partment of Hospitals to reclassify
Nursing Division employees to
competitive civil service status.
In a letter to Dr, Edward M.
Berbecker, Commissioner of Hos-
Walter S. Pasnick,
S&ME Representative,
sivessed the need for promotion
opportunities. He pointed out
that, Veterans Administration hos-
pitals have curbed their person-
nel turn-over by providing promo-
tion opportunities.
Mr. Pasnick said that many ex-
isting employment problems in the
ity's hospitals would be eliminated
if all hospital employees were
placed in competitive civil service
statu:
The union claims the reclassi-
fication would attain the follow-
ing: Establish pay increments;
provide promotional lines, reward
capable employees, encourage
higher standards, reduce turnover,
and improve the morale of em-
ployees,

The story that Veterans Ad-

daily work schedule and safety
rules by running for elevators a
few minutes before quitting time
brought a sharp protest from the
Rodger W. Young Post 1349,
