What
Will F

An increase of approximately
150,000 Federal jobs, with about
10,000 in New York and New Jer-
sey, at the moment is the best
prediction for the next several
months, according to top officials
with whom The LBADER has been
in constant touch since the open-
ing of the fighting in Korea.

Working on the hope that the
war will be contained in Korea
and that hostilities will end with-

in a year, officials are making
plans to man the agencies of pro-
duction and control that will be
needed to carry on the partial
mobilization foreseen by President
Truman, While details are not yet
available, it is expected that most
of the early expansion will be in

the field, at naval establishments
and arsenals, rather than in
| Washington, and less in New York

Hubbard
‘Sizing Up’
Task

ALBANY, July 24—The newly-
created State Personnel Relations
Board is not yet functioning, Allen
Skinner Hubbard, Jr, who has
been appointed by Governor
Dewey to direct the program, is
moving slowly, “getting ideas,
seeing people, sizing up the ex-
tent of the task.”

A rotating panel from which Mr,
Hubbard's colleagues on the Board
will come has not yet been chosen
by the Governor,

Mr, Hubbard is currently en-
sconsed in a temporary office in
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion.

On Wednesday, July 26, there
will be an informal meeting be-
tween Mr, Hubbard, Charles

State Forums Will Explain
Age-55 Law to Employees

By H. J. BERNARD

ALBANY, July 24—The State!

Retirement System will bring the
new age-55 retirement law right
to the members of the System

cuss the new law and answer

Prompt Action Asked

The Retirement System advises
all of its members who are think-
ing about switching over to the
new age-55 plan to declare their
intention at once,

Although the deadline for ap-
plying is December 31 next, the
Retirement System warns that
those who delay may do so to their
disadvantage, whereas nobody
who declares his intention early)
stands to lose anything.

The System fears that there will)

be thousands of applicants jJam- | pa:

ming its facilities toward the end
and points out that those who ap-
isd now will receive prompter serv-
ice, as to reports on rates, nominal
deficiencies and the like.
Arrears Bother Some

One of the — that has

proved confusing to a considerable

number of members of the System
concerns those very deficiencies
jor arrears, The members want to
know why a deficiency arises and
pions it constitutes some unex-

erable effort to clearing up
points, including a detailed analy-
sis of the deficiency situation.

count compared to the employer-
pension benefit and Is there-

Why Switch Is a Gain
The wet mnt Pah oe
pension advan o /3 per
cent, since it makes possible,
though doesn’t assure, retirement
at age 55 at half pay after 30

period
viously granted after the longer
one. That alone makes the switch
from any other plan to the new
age-55 plan advantageous to
members.

New employees, making their
selection, should also accept the
new age-55 plan, for the same
reason,

The half-pay goal, for 30 yexrs
| of service, is achieved if, and only
lif, the annuity account js large
enough to purchase an annuity
| equal to the pension. Since the
pension, wholly paid by the em
| ployer, ‘is based on quarter pa:
the employee, through his con-
tributions to his annuity account,
| naturally would have to make up
the other quarter to achieve half
y. So it’s a question of how
| much will he, or can he, do for
himself? The employer is out of
this part of the picture,

Crux of Deficiency

The pension is based on the
average of five censecutive years
of salary. Naturally the best five
years are selected, normally the

not a charge against the employee,
but rather an opportunity, since
there is a limit to how much an-

this extends the limit.

The only exception to the non-
obligatory feature is that, as a
minimum, a token payment of 1

r cent of salary must be made

the member who comes under

the new plan and has arrears to
make up. Whether he actually
makes up all of them, after having
started, or does no more than
contribute the 1 per cent toward
Tears, does not reduce in any-
way his right to the increased

msion benefit provided by the

tate or loca] government. The
member gets that increased pen-
sion benefit just the same.

To the extent that the member
fails to make up the arrears com-
pletely, assuming he has bought
no additional annuity, he fails to
achieve half pay at age 55 after
30 years of service. On the other
hand, even if arrears are not made
up in full, the employee, if he
stays on long enough after age
55, may build up his annuity from
future pay, and thus retire at
half pay, or even more, although
at an age higher than 55.

Advisability Not Affected

The age-55 pan requires an in-
creased contribution of about 50
per cent for the future, for those
who switch from the “normal”
age-60 to the new age-55 plan,
and, besides the token 1 per cent
toward any arrears, but that is the
extent of the requirement. Making
up arrears in full and buying ad-
ditional annuity at 50 per cent of
the “normal” rate—no more, no
less—are the only other ways of
swelling the annuity, The whole
annuity problem is only a ques-
tion of how much the member
can afford to put into his annuity
account, not whether it's advisable
twee choose the benefits of the new
aw.

‘New Laws Urged to Protect
“Men Entering Armed Forces
From Civil Service Positions

ALBANY, July 24—Pull protec-
tion for public employees who are
called for military service in the
Korean situation:

‘This is the essence of a directive
(cella week by Governor

( E. Dewey (and described

in The LEADER for Tuesday,

| duly 18,). The Civil Service Em-

Association announces

it will sponsor the necessary

ion at the next session of

the Legislature to amend the law

covering war service (it’s section

246 of the Military Law). It was

the Association which originally

sponsored this section when it was

enacted in 1941, The term “mili-

tary duty” was extremely broad

when enacted, covering substanti-

ally all types of military service,

including the draftees and reserve

forces who had entered service
Prior to July 1, 1940,

Law Changed in 1946
In 1946, however, the definition
& military service was changed by
adding these words:

“Notwithstanding the forego-
ing provisions of this paragraph,

| the term ‘military duty’ shall

not include any of the foregoing

' services entered upon voluntarily

on or after January first, nine-
teen hundred forty-seven.”
More Changes Needed

In order to protect the status of

| the reserve forces, it will be neces-

Sary to amend this paragraph and

a number of other pro-

, Visions of the Military Law, In the

meantime, pending enactment of

appropriate legislation, the Gov-

ernor’s directive will, for all prac-

Purposes, protect the civil

service status of employees in this
category. Other problems, such as
pay differenti; pension protec-
tions, and any nal benefits af-
forded by the law during World
War II will doubtless require
amendment and renewal,
Dewey's Directive

The full text of Governor
Dewey's directive, dated July 16,
appears below:

“Under present provisions of
law, permanent public employees
who are drafted into the Armed
Porees of the United States are
entitled to military leaves of ab-
sence and to other rights apd
benefits granted by Section 246
of the Military Law. Public em-
ployees who, as members of the
National Guard, Naval Militia or
a@ reserve force, are ordered to
military duty, with their prior con-
sent, are entitled to leaves of ab-
sence with full pay for a period
not to exceed thirty days in any
calendar year, but are not en-
titled to military leaves of absenc
as a matter of right, for any
period of military duty beyond
thirty days. Permanent public em-
ployees who enlist are not entitled
to military leaves of absence,

“Rule XVI (ia) of the Rules for
the Classified Civil Service author-
izes appointing officers, in their
discretion, to grant to permanent
State employees ordinary leaves
of absence without pay for periods
not to exceed one year. Inasmuch
as this rule provides that time
spent in military service shall not
be considered in computing the
one year period during which a
Person may be reinstated after the

Exam Progress
Reports Needed

HE State Civil Service Department's discontinuance of
exam progress reports six months ago because issuance
eligible lists three months after the tests would render
ts unnecessary has far from justified itself. Lists con-
ping a few names frequently do come out on schedule, but
not even all of these. When lists are merely medium-sized,
and certainly when they are large, the three-month goal is

not nearly attained.

The idea that three months is soon enough to give a

candidate any inkling of exam progress is unsound in the
first place. Candidates who pin their career hopes on the
results of exams have a deeper interest in the test’s progress
than the department seems willing to admit. Also they paid
\ an application fee and may rightfully expect more service
an they get in a Federal test for which no fee is charged.
foreover, an operating department wants its employees fast
—when it needs them,
i An inspection of 20 State eligible lists, both open-com-
petitive and promotion, published in recent consecutive is-
sues of The LEADER, shows a total of 111 eligibles and a
mathematical total of 64.25 months between exam and issu-
ance of the list.

Dividing the number of eligibles into the computed
time gives a reasonable figure of merit. The answer is 244
weeks per eligible. On this basis the average number of el-
iabies on a list coming out three months after the test

‘ould be 5.

Among 20 recent State lists issued, those out in less
than four months total 14, Not one of the 14 contains more
than 20 eligibles, Another list, 21 eligibles, took 7 months,
| Indeed one with 5 eligibles took 914 months.
| ~ The two Staff Attendant lists for the Mental Hygiene

Department were established on May 26 Jast. The 20 ex-
| amples were charitably selected from later lists, for the two
| Staff Attendant ones were published not three months but
eleven months after the exam. The total number of eligibles
on the two lists: Institutions, 1,343; schools, 229. That is
what happens when an exam of any considerable size is
held, So while the vast majority of lists may be out in three
months or less, they affect only a minority of candidates,

The State Civil Service Department was formerly the
‘only one issuing progress reports, It performed the task
‘expertly, The information was up-to-date and confined to
progress prior to completion of the eligible list, Stoppage
progress reports is considered by many a disservice to thous-
ands of candidates each month, and represents a detour
from the democratic process of civil service administration,

The issuance of monthly, self-contained progress reports

commencement of a leave of ab-
sence without pay, an employee
granted such a leave to enter
military service would be assured
of eligibility for reinstatement
upon the termination of his mili-
tary duty, notwithstanding the
fact that such military duty ex-
tended beyond one year,

“In view of the Korean conflict
which has resulted in an urgent
call for volunteers to accomplish
the rapid expansion of our Armed
Forces, and in the interests of
national security, in order to
avoid deterring young men in the
State service from enlisting or
volunteering for military duty dur-
jing the present crisis, I hereby
direct that all State appointing
| officers grant a one year leave of
absence (pursuant to Rule XVI-
la) to State employees in the
| classified service who have per-
| manent tenure of indefinite dura-
tion and protection against re-
|moval under Section 22 of the
Civil Service Law and who, on or
after June 24, 1950 (i.e. the com-
mencement of the Korean conflict)
jenlist or volunteer for military
duty in the Armed Forces, except
where such a leave of absence
would result in the curtailment or
interruption of vital health, wel-
fare and police service.”

and Civil Service” is so outstand-
ing that I wish everyone interest-
ed in any way in the civil service
ous have an opportunity to see
it.
Nowadays, when the protective,
selfish aspects of civil service em-
ployment—and private employ-
ment, too, for that matter—are so
much emphasized, it is heartening
to know that there is one public
employee organization which has
leadership wise enough to put the
finger on the one thing most nec-
essary to enable our civil service
to keep pace with the demands
upon it—the education and train-
ing of every employee through his
entire work life,

T hope that all of us who share
an abiding concern for civil serv-
ice progress may work together to
bring about the creation of new
opportunities, greater individual
initiative, humanization and lib-
eralization of public employment
which you call for,

FULL VETERAN STATUS FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES
IN MILITARY SERVICE

THE ASSOCIATION has been the chief champion
and defender of the war veteran on the principle that
public employees should lose nothing but should gain
much in civil service employment because of military
service to the nation. The Association was the chief
architect of the provisions in the military law which pre~
served all the civil service rights and privileges to public
employees in substantially all kinds of military service.

The Association was not responsible for the curtail-
ment of the law in 1946 which limited the effect of the
law to service before the year 1947.

The Association fully endorses and applauds the
action taken by the Governor authorizing a year’s leave
of absence for volunteers who serve in the armed serv
This will, we believe, mean differential pay or a guaran-
teed total wage equal to his regular salary, as soon as
the necessary legislation can be passed. Legislation prob-
ably will also be required to suspend or modify certain
civil service laws and rules relating to pay, leave, incre-
ments, promotions, examinations, reinstatement, ete.

It may also be necessary to redefine some outworn
terms such as “state of war’ and “military service” to
include the present resistance to armed aggression in
Korea as military service, to make provisions for enforce-
ment of the United Nations ordinances a legal obligation
of the State of New York, and to provide more definitely
for war service under the flag of the United Nations,

See Unity on Protection

I am hopeful that the present undeclared war will
not set the world on fire but I hold that it is later than
we think where our lack of home defense and our un-
defined international obligations are concerned, I am sure
that nearly all the public employees in the State are ready
and anxious to contribute to the protection of their wives,
their children, their neighbors and their friends whether
or not they can protect their property and their homes.
They will follow with deep interest the planning of
General Lucius D, Clay, Lawrence Wilkinson and his staff
and the various local Defense Committees, What they
want, as I see it, is what the citizen in general wants. They
want an answer to the question “What can I do about it?”,
and they want more than a stereotype answer. They ask
an answer that will fit the entire present scientific and
world predicament as a perfect civil service examination
Paper answers the many and different examination

PUBLIC SALARY RISES SINCE APRIL, 1948
HAVE LAGGED BEHIND PRIVATE INDUSTRY

By IRVING COHEN,
Research Consultant, The Civil
Service Employees Association
IN APRIL 1948, State employees

received their last pay adjustment.
At that time, total salary adjust-
ments for most State employees
lagged from 25% to 45% below
the 69% rise in living costs which
had occurred since 1940. State
employees were not as favorably
treated as workers in private in-
dustry,

Average weekly earnings in New
York State industries (the same
is true for the nation) increased
during the April 1940 - April 1948
period from 74% to 112% in the
major divisions as follows:

Wholesale trade u%
Retail trade 18%
Manufacturing 112%
Construction 88%

‘The index of weekly clerical and
professional earnings in United
States non-agricultural industries
published by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, the only index
of its kind in the country, stood
64% above its 1939 level in April
1948. The wage-earner index in
this series was 94% and the com-
bined wage earner and clerical
and professional index reached
90% above their 139 lévels in the
Spring of 1948.

Fringe Benefits

What has happened to wages in
private industry since the last
State pay rise of April 19487

First, it is important to em-
phasize that the major advances
have actually been made in the
so-called fringe benefits, pensions,
health and accident insurance,
ete. This irtcrease is fully equal to
the increase in money earnings,

example, Walter Reuther,
President of the United Auto
Workers, CIO, estimates that
auto workers in General Motors
Corporation gained 18 cents an
hour from their recent contract.
Only 8 cents an hour is reflected
in direct hourly earnings.

The following data do not in-

clude any estimates of “fringe

benefits.” Incidentally, the wide-
spread growth of these benefits
nullifies whatever force did exist
in the argument of the “relative”
advantages of government em-
ployment. (These figures refer
only to money wages.)

Wholesale trade 8.7%

A New Terror
Takes Shape

utstanding victims of the push toward internal
Ovsectirity" in the United States are the Federal em-
ployees. A ready target for unprincipled politicians, these
men and women who work for the United States have for
many years had to “take,” silently, the oft-vicious barbs
hurled upon them, It is little wonder that individuals
whose talents the government needs often think many
times before they are willing to undertake the mercurial
hazards of Federal employment.

Now comes an action by Congress — fortunately not
yet completed — which would more thoroughly than ever
inflict a reign of fear, trepidation, and timidity upon the
individuals who work for the United States. The House of
Representatives has already passed, and a Senate Com-
mittee approved, a bill which would erable the heads
of eleven departments to dismiss, summarily and blunt
any employee as a “security risk.” No appeal. No need
of presenting evidence. No determination by a jury of
peers, No inquiry by anyone: Is this dismissal justified?
No definition of where “healthy dissent "ends and “security
risk” begins. The bill simply gives “absolute discretion”
to the agency head to fire.

Fundamental Liberties at Stake

How can such a bill be looked upon but as a further
whittling away of traditional American liberties? The
Federal loyalty program, as now set up, however open it
may be to criticism, at least permits to the accused a
series of appeals. And the validity of these appeals is
demonstrated by the cases which are reversed by higher
boards.

Senator Wayne Morse, in discussing the “absolute
discretion” measure, properly, we feel, described it as}
an instrument granting “police state powers.” For this
measure deprives the employee of any recourse if he is
wrongfully dismissed, What a field day it would provide
for the venting of personal animosities, for wrong-headed

whim, for “dealing with’ an employee who might be
disliked or unwanted for other reasons. Why go through
the procedure of finding other reasons for dismissing an
employee — reasons which he could appeal — when all

you have to do is call him a “poor security risk” and out
he goes? This is too great a power to grant unrestrictedly
to any administrator,

Employees As Targets

In the United States, public employees everywhere
have fought for acceptance of orderly procedures in dis-
missals, protection against arbitrary action by superiors.
This fight has been made necessary simply because abuses
do exist, The American climate of opinion has, by and
Jarge, accepted this view. The proposed Federal action
is a harsh, horrible reversal of all that has been gained.
The Korean war cannot justify this,

The writer of this editorial was recently speaking
with a long-time Federal employee, a man of brilliant

of the conversation, he made this comment: ‘“‘Why should
1 to work out new ideas in my department? I'm better
off just doing my job in a routine way and not getting in
the limelight. There are too many ways and too many
people waiting to ‘knock off’ Federal employees these
days.” Is this cynicism? Rather let it be considered a
sombre commentary upon what is happening.

The eminent Washington Post, one of the finest news-
papers in the United States, ran a full-page editorial not
long ago referring to the present situation as Terror in
Washington, Any observer can verify that this terror
exists, It does not make for courageous advance in govern-
ment, It does not present a siren call for our best people
to enter government service. And today, more perhaps
than ever before, we need our best people in government.

A Dangerous Bill

The bill granting absolute discretion to fire an em-
ployee, and even to ruin hig subsequent life with the
charge of “poor security risk,” is as dangerous a piece of
business, as unworthy a precedent, as has come out of
Washington since the war, It will only further buttress
the Terror, the emotional edginess, which is the accom-
paniment of existence in Federal agencies these days. The
Senate should resoundingly reject the measure, And if,
unaware of or unwilling to see the ramifications, the Senate
does permit it to pass, then it deserves the sharp veto of

Van Name Argues for
Tax-Exempt Pensions

ARGUMENTS IN favor of ex-
empting the pensions of retired
gorernment employees at least to
the same extent as Social Secur-
ity pensions are exempted from
Federal income taxation were set
forth by Ralph L. Van Name, sec-
retary of the NYC Employees Re-
tirement System, in a letter to
Senator Herbert H. Lehman.

Mr. Van Name also wrote to
Senator Irving M. Ives, thank-
ing him for attempts to amend
the Social Security Bill, and now
the Tar Bill, to the same end.
Mr. Van Name hoped for a “non-
partisan movement.” Senator
LeLhman is a Democrat, Sena-
tor Ives a Republican, and both
are from New York,

Mr. Van Name’s letter to Sena-
tor Lehman. a cony of which he
also sent tu Senator Ives, follows:

Your telegram of July 12th to
me as Secretary of the New York
‘City Employees’ Retirement Sys-
tem, requests detail on two sep-
arate matters:
1. Equalization of treatment,
taxwise, of Social Security pen-
sioners, retired from private em-
Ployment, on the one hand, and
of governmental pensioners, on
the other;
2.The major reasons for ex-
clusion of federal, state and city
Pensioners from Social Security
coverage.

Your telegram reached me here
on Lake George where I am va-
}cationing a few miles north of your
summer home.

Proposed Increased Exemption
At the present time, Social Se-
curity pensioners, although they
are paid through governmental
channels, have not been govern-
mental employees, nor have the
revenues to pay them been provid-
ed out of regular government in-
come, On the contrary, the reven-
ues come in equal portions from
private employers, and their em-
ployees.

Under existing law, these So-
cial Security pensions are totally
exempt by Treasury Ruling to a
maximum exceeding $1,000, Un-
der the Senate version of H. R.
6000, now before Congressional
joint conference committee, they
will be exempt up to $1,800 where
the compensation of the non-
government employee amounted to
$3,600 or more, as follows:

On account of the retired
employee .........+6 eevee
On account of his wife over
over 65 ....... ep eressscee 4
On account of lesser depend-
ents ..

1,800
In addition to this $1,800 ex-
emption, he is to receive all the
regular $600 exemptions of exist-
ing income tax law against his
company-provided pension or oth-
er income.

How Law Now Works

Contrary to Social Security
practice, the retired governmental
employee, after he has received
back as pension what he paid in
himself, will receive*only the reg-
ular $600 exemption and must

full income tax on the next

11,800, comparble to the exempted
1,800 of Social Security,

This situation doubtless came
about because Washington was of-
ficlally interested in correct Social
Security tax exemption, whereas
local government pensions were
the result of local enactment
which could not give them the na-
tionwide exemption which only
Washington may confer, It need
continue no longer, with both So-
cial Security and tax correction
bills simultaneously before Con-
gress,

As to the reasons justifying
tax exemptions of pensions, wheth-
er in or outside Social Security,
Ponaioners should be given special

x treatment because of:

Inability to supplement earn-
ings like younger men because of

the President,

exweme age,

sulting from. ing costs ver-|in shirt sleeves and unfastened
sus fixed income, dark vest in charge, Contrary

Additional medical cost of sur-
vival of the aged.

Reduced income — averaging
half-pay or less.

Employees’ Desire

There can be no doubt that if
employees from ages 20 to 65
were polled as to whether person-
al income tax should continue un-
til death or at a slightly higher
rate until 65 (the Social Security
retirement age), the overwhelm-
ing vote would be in favor of ces-
sation of personal income taxation
at 65. The present plea is not for
complete exemption but for ex-
tension of the present $1,000 and
Proposed $1,800 exemption of So-
cial Security to retired govern-
mental employees who will be only’
10 per cent to 15 per cent as num-
erous,

The requested extension will cost
Uttle; it is eminently fair and just;
it will correct a tax discrimination
of more than ten years’ standing.

Exclusion from Social Security

As to reasons for exclusion of
governmental employees from So-
cial Security coverage, not to be
confused with the above subject:

Where local governments are

tional provision (Art. V, Section Tia
to regard membership in a gove
ernmental pension fund or retires
ment system as “a contractual re~
lationship, the benefits of which
shall not be diminished or im-
” if governmental units
either desired or were compelled
to include Social Security cover-
age, they could not offset any part
of Social Security expense or bene
fits by elimination or reduction of
beri local pension benefits or
cost. 3
From the standpoint of out-
standing, relatively well-paid lo-
cal government employees, such
as teachers, policemen, firemen—
those who receive the more liberal
Pension treatment from local gov-
ernments — their pensions, whife
more costly both to employer and
employee, are also more generous
and more treasured, There is @
widely prevalent feeling, especially
among governmental employees
in the Eastern Seaboard states and
cities and other big industrial
centers, that Social Security for
governmental employees would ,
eventually result in leveling down
of the more liberal police, fire and

bound, as in New York State and
its subdivisions, by a Constitu-

CONDITIONS WHEN
TAKING AN EXAM

Editor, The LEADER:

In the June 27 issue The LEAD-
ER published a letter written by
R. Herbert and dealing with cer-
tain conditions which exist in the
civil service examination rooms.
The tenor of that letter was en-
tirely correct; to support it, here
is a double experience which I had
this year in two of those rooms,

On January 12, at 12:30 P.M,
was held the “qualifying test of

Federal civil service examination
for translator, GS-4 through 11.
This test was a difficult one for me

tongue. Also its timing was rather
upsetting as it came in the mid-
dle of the week, in the middie of
the day and mgrely ten days after
the closing of @ very short filing
period.

An Excellent Example

The man conducting this test
was evidently an expert. To be-
gin with, he was dressed with
good taste; there was nothing
about him to distract attention.
And then, without reading any in-
structions, but in a clear and dis-
tinet voice, step by step he went
through the prelimiaries with us.
There was no need to ask him
questions, for he anticipated them.
His last wi

this man were inspring and help-
ful. I entered the examination
room with uneasiness, but I left
it with the certainty of having

ruary 28 were held the
translating tests, but under cir-
cumstances entirely different, My
self-confidence started to wane
the moment I saw at the door

because English is not my native | Pl

nervousness persisted throughout
the examination,

Plea for More Concern

After we had squeezed our way
to our little desks and seats, put
our books on the floor, this moni+
tor tried to rush us through the
preliminaries by reading parts of
the instructions provided on the
questions booklet, skipping other
Parts and replying to individual |
competitors. Thus he deprived us ‘
of the opportunity to benefit from
those instructions. At one moment {
he referred to the test we wer
taking as “Spanish” translation, ~
it was French, Later, collecting our ©
pers at the end of a series of
questions, he also collected a few
identification sheets. Luckily, an-
other man present, who remained
quiet, noticed the mistake and
had it corrected,

Worst of all, when this examin-
ation ended, no one knew for sure
how long it did last because, be-
tween the first and the last
of it, our papers were coll
new ones distributed to us and
@ little speech made, Then we |
were told to go ahead but without
recording any starting time,

When the stop signal was given,
some candidates grumbled; one
tired looking young man turned

‘

230
AM. to almost 12:30 P.M. with-
out a breathing spell.

Civil service commissions would
get all competitors’ thanks if they
would show more concern about
conditions under which examina
tions are held.

By HERBERT M. BENON

State exams are now open for
filling jobs as Beverage Control
Investigator and Investigator,
State Departments,

gator ne more expected.
Pive of the nine vacancies are in
Albany and four are in NYC. The
ABC Investigator jobs, about 40
at prescnt, are with State and
County Alcoholic Beverage Con-
trol Boarts throughout the State.
‘The practical age limits are 21
to 70, the minimum resulting from
the training and experience re-
quirements, the maximum from
the State Retirement Law.
The Beverage Control jobs (Exam
2170) require (a) .high school
tion and four years of in-

gradi
vestigation work, of which two
must have involved field investi-
gation on which written reports
were based, or (b) college gradu-
ation, with two years of investiga-
ting experience, of which at least
one year must have

conceived

¢) graduation from an accredited
law school and admission to the

Wider Use of New List

The State Board, as_distin-
guished from the local NYC and
County Boards, has a staff of 70
20 of whom are to
be replaced from eligibles on the
list because they do not have
competitive status, The NYC and
County Boards also have about 20
provisionals to be replaced as a
sult of this exam, These are in
addition to vacancies occuring
during the four-year life of the
list.

The last test for ABC Board
Investigators was held in the fall
of 1940. Only State jobs were
filled from that list, Local county
commissions have been holding
tests from time to time to fill va~
cancies in county Boards for In-
vestigator, The coming test differs
in one respect from the other tests.
The resulting eligible list from this
test will be used to fill both State
and county jobs, The State feels
that in this way the standards of
the Liquor Authority will be stabil-
ized throughout the entire State,
to the benefit of both the licensees,
of whom there are 60,000, and the

tatewide combination of State,
NYC and county Boards,

State jobs to be filled are lo-
ated in the three Liquor Author-
ity vone offices at 170 Broadway,
NYC; 39 Columbia Street, Albany

Main Street, Buffalo 3.
and local county Board jobs
are to be filled throughout the en-
tire State, The 20 vacancies in
these have not yet been broken
down into counties, In some coun-
ties in the sparsely settled regions
of the State, the County Board
staff consists of one administrator
rves as executive director,
investigator and in other
In the more heavily popu-
counties there are as many
as 15 investigators,

It is expected that candidates
will be tested on specific sections
of the ABC Law, copies of which
are obtainable at $1.14 each from
the three zone offices mentioned
above. Copies of the Official Rules
at 15 cents each are likewise ob-
tainable at these offices,

Although Investigators are not
peace officers, it is expected that
the physical and medical tests will
be somewhat more stringent than
prevails in clerical-type tests, It
is expected that eyeglasses will be
permitted, when correcting the
vision to normal, 20/20,

Scope of Duties

Local NYC and county Board
Investigators are usually assigned
to investigate persons and prem-
ises in connection with applica-
tions for original licenses for
wholesale and retail deal The
State tri-zone Investigators, who
are not always limited to investi-
gations within their respective
zones, are usually assigned to in-
vestigations which occur as the
result of Penal Law prosecutions
in connection with premises or
persons licensed by the Liquor
Authority. When arrests are made
by State police, county peace offi-
cers or sheriffs for Penal or ABC
Law violations, the State Liquor
Authority is notified which, in due
course, holds a hearing, the facts

SELECTIVE SERVICE officials
will not grant deferments to stu-
dents at trade schools until they
finish their course of study. This
is the practice with secondary
schools and colleges. The State
Board of Regents was asked to
rule last week on the matter and
decided that for a school to have
students deferred, it must be an
educational institution leading to-
ward a degree, The decision will
be criticized in some quarters be-
cause many students in trade
schools will be pursuing courses to
make them more valuable to the
armed forces — radio and elec-
tronics, for example,

ALTHOUGH the Associated

Re-Employment Rights
Of Military Men Defined

WASHINGTON, July 744 — The
U, 8, Civil Service Commission has
issued a statement clarifying the
re-employment rights of Federal
workers who are ordered into
tive duty from the reserves, or who,
as reserve officers or enlisted men
volunteer, or non-members of re-
serves who are drafted.

“Any permanent Federal em-
ployee,” id the Commission,
“whether a member of a reserve
unit or not, who ds inducted or
enlists for miltary service is en-
titled to re-employment rights and
benefits for the period of his first
enlistment, or induction, not ex-
ceeding three years.”

As to the law regarding reserv-
ists, the three-year rule applies,
but if the military service exceeds
three years, re-employment rights
exist if the employee applied for
his job back as soon thereafter as
he could obtain his release,

‘The Law About Reserves

The statement on reservists fol-
lows:

“On June 30, the 81st Congress
approved Public Law 599, the
Service Exiension Act of 1950,
which extends the Selective Serv-
fice Act of 1948 for a period of
one year, Until July 9, 1951, the
President is authorized to order

3 AEC Men
Win Merit
Pay Increase

‘The New York Operations Office
of the United States Atomic En-
ergy Commission has awarded
Merit Salary Increases in recog-
nition of exceptional job perform-
ance to three of its employees.

Merit certificates, accompanied
by an increase in salary equal to
‘one within-grade promotion, were
made to Allen G. Hoard, Clerk,
Division of Technical Information
and Declassification; Anthony R.
Noto, Inspector (Materials), Pro-
duction Division; and Paul Reut-
ter, Clerk, Administrative Opera-
tions Division.

Mr. Hoard, who lives in Jamaica,
Long Island, has-evolved special
catalogue procedures in the New
York Operations Technical Li-
brary which have resulted in a
considerabie saving of time and
have also made reports and vol-
umes more readily accessible to
the staff,

Mr. Noto, who lives in the
Bronx, joined the Manhattan Dis-
trict, the wartime atomic energy
project, in December of 1943. Dur-
ing the performance of his regu-
jar duties as an inspector of rolled
uranium rods, he observed the
need for a better method of heat-
ing uranium billets prior to rolling.
Although the development of such
@ process was beyond the scope of
his responsibilities, he devised a
Procedure which present opera~
tions indicate will result in a sav-
ing of at least $25,000 a year.

Additional Recognition

‘Mr, Reutter, who lives in Wood-
haven, Long, Island, has performed
with exceptional accuracy and
speed assignments in the Mail and
Records Section,

Under ARC's salary policy, em-
ployees whose work performance is
outstandingly above that which is
normally expected, who perform
some exceptional act or service, or
whose creative effort has been ex-
traordinary, may be given addi-
tional recognition through a one-
step merit salary increase during
any one eligibility period.

Nominations for merit awards
are made by the Director of an
employee's Division to a five-man
Salary Committee, constituting
three permanent members and two
alternating members, one of whom
must be the Director of a Techni-
cal Division and the other a mem~-
ber of an Administrative Division.

A WOMAN received one of the
highest ratings ever given in a
Junior Management Assistant ex-
am. She wanted to work in one
of three cities, including Wash-
ington, D. G., to which her hus-
band might be transferred. The
Department of the Air Force of-
fered her employment in all three
localities, Now she is employed by
that agency and both she and her
husband are in Washington,

TWO FORMER employees of
the Detroit post office, involved in
impersonatiorr in an exam, have
heen sentenced to two years on
probation by the U, S, District
Court and their names have been
flagged against future Federal em-
ployment.

One of the employees, a regular

taken a Clerk-Carrier examination

tute carrier who was attempting
to gain regular status through the
examination, Both employees have

Griffenhagen to Perform

Career and Salary

Continued from page 1)
matter first came before the Board
of Estimate on June 16, 1949;

1, No individual's salary is to be
reduced as a result of the career-
salary project;

2, Routine promotions and pay
adjustments will not be affected.

The contract between the City| Fire

and Griffenhagen & Associates is
scheduled to be signed this week.

Hearings to Be Held

It is understood that frequent
Public hearings will be held while
the career-salary survey is in
progress, and that public em-
Ployees, organizations will have a
Primary part in the activity, will
be called in for frequent consulta-
tion, and the interests of City em-
Ployees safeguarded in as many
ways as possible,

The minutes Of public hearings
held through the summer of 1949
in which employee organizations
indicated their views, will be avail-
able to the task force which will
conduct the operation. Opposition |
which had originally been voiced
is apparently no longer present. |
Both the CIO and AFL had rep-
resentatives on the committee
which finally selected Griffen-
hagen to do the job. The United
Public Workers, which had been
in strong opposition to the sur-
vey, has not been evident in more
recent comments. The Civil Serv-
ice Forum, which had expressed
certain points of opposition a
ago, has now issued a statement
in support of the study, The
American Federation of State,
County, and Municlpal Employees,
AFL, which had supported the
Project from the beginning, will

Not all City employees will be

still leaves about 100,000 positions

In addition to the tasks out-

it is anticipated that a modern

quested of Comptroller Lazarus

The test is expected to be held

it will be on a Saturday in Sept-

Rating of the papers will be
given high priority by the NYC

reduction in the number of pro-
visionals,

James S. Watson, President of
the Commission, said that the to-
tal number of so-called provision-
als, now in excess of 17,000, in-
cludes many seasonal employees
at playgrounds, swimming pools

‘The
will be divided into open-compet-
itive titles, which involve the ma-
ecw Mt of Jobs, and | shag ones.
al promotees are

perm-
‘nent employees in a lower title,

Milling a job while its permanent
occupant is on leave.

Another grouping will show the
number of employees holding pro-
visional jobs in excess of the
legal time limit. A cursory exam-
ination has shown that some pro-
visionals have held their jobs for
as long as five years. Commission-
er Paul P. Brennan ts looking into

this phase. He said that prompt | ful

action would be taken to get rid
of such provisionals. In the open-
competitive titles, where provis-
fonals are most numerous, replace-
ments should be rapid when the
eligible lists come out in Septem-
ber and continuing regularly
thereafter. Clerk, Grade 2 and
Surface Line Operator are two
of the principal titles.

It is expected that the Commis-
sion will show, in support of the
timetable, the reduction of provis-
jonals it expects to accomplish
at least by the end of the year,
and possibly by next spring.

The categorical listing will in-
elude a roster of those who are
filling in for persons on leave,
usually provisional replacements in
maternity and illness cases, Such
replacements are listed as “pro-
visional,” but the employees are
competitive, serving in a different

title, and their number will ap-
pear in the “nominal provisional”
column,

IT’S GOING to be hard for de
partments that want jobs put in
the non-competitive class. By this
method a department can hire
about anybody it pleases and it
is often used as a means of retain-
ing a provisional, through the
Commission's ap; al, and that
of the State Civil
sion, would be necessary. However,
the NYC Commission, consisting
of three new appointees, has de-
cided unanimously that since the
State Constitution requires that
jobs be competitive, so far as
practicable, departments seeking
to have presently classified com-
petitive jobs converted to non-
competitive must put up an over-
whelming case, or else.

ONE OF the recent acts of the
Commission has been to erect pla-
cards, warning of the penalty for
impersonators. Also, the general
notice of examinations includes a
detailed warning on the subject.
The policy of the Commission is

be firm with impersonators,
both those who benefit by imper-
sonation — the candidates — ‘and
those who serve as stand-ins for

others, usually for relatives,

The impersonation warning in
the notice of examination reads
as follows:

By PHILIP FINE

With no central agency respon-
sible for training employees, the
NYC departments give courses or
don't, as they prefer, And when
they do, the courses are occasion-
ally comprehensive and useful, but
mostly not. Employees deplore the
lack of a co-ordinated training pro-
gram, and make sarcastic contrasts
with what the State is doing in
its training of new and long-time
employees, An outstanding ¢x-
ample of the City’s best training
for new entrants, to familiarize
themselves with the work of the
department and the job they are
to do, as well as intermediate and
promotion training, is set by the
Housing Authority, »

The Housing Pattern

A pattern has been set by the
Housing Authority which includes
orientation, or the instruction of
the newly appointed; intermediate

on-the-job training; and, finally,

lo-
cated in Viadek Houses, has been
hailed as an outstanding example.
In addition, twice or three times
®@ year an intermediate course is
given to all who were appointed

Workshop of the Authority,

since the last course, at which
division heads lecture about the
work in great detail and a field
trip is made to some Authority
housing project which is studied
from top to bottom.

At the workshop on-the-job
training is conducted on a com-
prehensive scale. All the equip-
ment is present that will be found
in an apartment house that the
Authority constructs. Maintenance
men are shown the complete meth-
od of what to do. when there's
trouble with door, refrigerator,
bathtub, tollet-bowl, electrical
equipment, boiler, windows and
all other appurtenances,

Better Letters One Goal

On the office level, stenograph-
ers and even their supervisors are
taught how to write better letters,
receptionists are given the inside

:| track to rendering best service to

the public, and safety is taught
by one of the few men from out-
side the department who ever
stood before a lectern in the de-
partment’s training school—Alfred

wide safety training for NYC,

Promotion training courses are
taken by employees either on their
own time or on @ 50-50 basis, but
the indoctrination courses in City
departments generally are on the
employer's time,

100 Students

Promotion courses are given at
night. In the Housing Authority
they are extremely well attended.
tendance has been at least good,
When other City departments
have given promotion courses at-
tendance also has been good
and sometimes everybody entitled
to take the exam attends the
course,

In the Housing Authority's
orientation group—the newcor
—there may be as many as 700
students, while in other courses,
particularly where a specialty is
the subject-matter, the class may
consist of only a dozen,

‘The Authority expects to double
its staff of employees in the next
three or four years and its com-
plete training courses have that
Prospect in mind,

Sanitation Dept. Training

The Sanitation Department's
new training center in Brooklyn
provides @ three-day course for
recruits, in which they are shown
the operation of equipment they
will use, including the simplest
operations, like sweeping. Teach-
ing extends also to higher ranks,
when special circumstances re-
quire, such as teaching public
speaking to supervisors, While
supervisors know their Jobs well,
it had been found that they
couldn't always address public
gatherings with conviction,

The department has recently

NEW YORK

expanded its orientation course
for the newly-appointed and
has established a thorough safety
training program that provides
broad courses for promotion tests,
particularly promotion to Assist-
ant Foreman, Incidentally, the As-
sistant Foreman test is tentatively
in the Civil Service Commission's
mind for spring opening.

The Sanitation Department's
course includes public relations,
since Sanitation Men are in con-
stant contact with the public; also
it comprises full information on
employee rights and benefits. Op-
eration of motor equipment is
explained, also how to handle a

m, &@ pan scraper and a can
carrier. The students spend half
a day sweeping against traffic, so
the Sanitation Man may see the
vehicles coming, for safety.

Slides and movies depict the
correct method of refuse disposal.
It's refuse, not garbage, in the
new terminology of the depart-
ment, Also that cylindrical con-
tainer is not a garbage can any
more but a refuse receptacle. In
the old days the men were called
street cleaners and the depart~-
Ment was known as the Depart-
ment of Street Cleaning. The more
dignified terminology on a large
scale stems from that change and
is taught to all newcomers,

Handling of complaints, garage
operation, courtesy, neatness of
uniform and other subjects are
discussed by instructors,

The department feels that the
overall results are highly satis-
factory,

The training program is under
Henry Liebman, Director of Oper-
ations. Assistant Director Charles
J, Labdon is in charge of the
training center,

Health Department

The Health Department has in-
doctrination and on-the-job train-
ing courses, particularly for pub-
lic health nurses and sanitary in-
spectors. Rights and opportunities
under the Civil Service Law are
included among the subjects. Arf
attempt is made to impress the
students that the employees of
the department are acting as a
team. The training officer is Ger-
ald English, The personnel direc-
tor of the department is William

| Latiener, who is directing the city- | Brody.

The department covers both in-
troductory and promotion aspects
in its training.

Welfare Department

‘The Welfare Department has a
Training Institute that’s been in
operation for years. Newly ap-
pointed Social Investigators get
four weeks of intensive prepara-
tion for their jobs. The only pro-
motion title for which a course is
given at the Institute is for those
who aspire to become Assistant
Supervisors, the next higher step
in the promotion ladder.

Police, Fire

The Police and Fire Depart-
ments train probationary patrol-
men and firemen,

The Police Academy at 6 Hum-
bert Street, under the direction of
Acting Chief Inspector William A.
Turk, is now training the 500

course takes three months, but
half of the time the recruits are
in the field. The course has been
perfected through the years and
teaches the latest police prac-
tices, modes of communication
— methods of detection and ar-
rest.

At the Fire Department Proba-
tionary School, on 68th Street,
under Acting Battalion Chief
George McGinty, the recruits get
their indocrination, and at the
Fire College, 35th Street, Long Is-
land City, officer .courses and
training for various specialties are
given. The specialties include
training in building inspection
and motor pump operation. Depu-
ty Chief of Staff and Operations
Edward G. Conway is in charge of
the Fire College, while Acting
Battalion Chief George McGinty
runs the probationary school, Act-
ing Battalion Chief Harry Irwin
teaches motor-pump operation.

Board of Transportation

The Board of Transportation
has a highly developed training
course center on Flatbush Avenue
Extension, Brooklyn, where sur-
face line operators, motormen and
others just appointed are schooled
in the work they must do and
given actual performance training.
Also, the department gives re~
fresher courses, not only to keep
the engineering staff completely up
to date on latest developments,
but also as preparation for pro-
motion tests. Philip F. Brueck is
in charge of this work. Also, cleri-
cal employees are trained, under
other auspices, but this phase
hasn't been active lately.

Little Other Effort

Aside from the foregoing ac-
tivities and departments, there is
little effort by City departments to
teach newcomers the job they have
to do, make them aware of the
interrelationships not only in City
government but with Federal and
State jurisdictions, small effort to
aid individuals by giving them
adequate in-service training
courses, and practically nothing
done in the City government to
select the best qualified persons
for higher levels of training and
important specialties, such as the
State is doing in its public ad-
ministration course at the Civil
Service Center, 8 Elk Street, Al-

bany.
While the NYC departments
that give thorough

courses are the exception, the
State plan traverses all depart-
ments, while allowing the depart-
ments initiative and autonomy. A
Training Division in the Civil
Service Department co-ordinates
the work, initiaties and conducts
some of the special courses and
aims for uniformity of method
and results,

The NYC departments discussed
are in the van of the training
undertaking and, for the most
part, have been for many years.

In many other departments,
training is at a low ebb, even
practically non-existent, with loss
of efficiency,

Un future articles deficiencies
be discussed also.—Editor}

Although the petitioners state
that they are interested in chang-
ing the policy only, and not in-
dividuals, the 96 eligibles recently
promoted to Lieutenant have a
keen personal interest in the out-
come, They have united to back
up the Commission in its defense
of the suit,

The trial will be held pursuant
ta a decision by Supreme Court
Justice James B, McNally,

The courts have decided that
the constitutional requirement of

recency of physical examination

by the VA means within one year,
that the VA disability rating must
be at least 10 per cent and that
an actual physical examination
must have been given by the VA,
What MeNally Wrote

“Tt is the contention of the pew
titioners,” Justice McNally wrote
in an opinion setting forth why
he ordered @ trial, “that the cere
tifcate in respect of the 96 pro«
motions herein challenged doesn’t
conform to said standard, The
defendants and intervenors (pro
motees) on the other hand, con~
tend otherwise, There are present
factual issues which should be
resolved only after a trial on the
merits. Accordingly, the motion
is granted to the extent of direot~
ing a trial to determine whether
the disability certificates meet the
requirements,"
