Employees Are Requested,
Not Ordered, to Answer
Questionnaires, State Says

‘The case of three competitive
employees of the State Liquor
Authority who are resisting In-
vestigation Commissioner J, Ir-
win Shapiro's efforts to have them
answer a financial questionnaire
was argued on April 27 before
Supreme Court Justice William C.
Hecht Jr. in New York County.

Samuel Resnicoff, attorney for
the three men, maintained that
the Investigation Commissioner
and the Chairman of the Liquor
Authority have no legal right to
make them answer the question-
naires, He sald the Commissioner
of Investigation has legal author-
ity to conduct investigations only
through Issuance of subpoenas,
not questionnaires. A witness un-
der subpoena, Mr, Resnicoff em-
phasized, has the right to be rep-
resented by counsel, and to de-
cline to answer questions the law
does not require him to answer,

Only a Request, Says State

Assistant Attorney General
Daniel Cohen, in reply, explained
that while the questionnaires were
sent out by Commissioner Sha-

piro, he did not circulate them
among the employees, but re-
quested the Chairman of the

Liquor Authority to do so. Mr.

count clerks, The Civil Service
Employees Association immediate
ly protested, and Commissioner
Shapiro thereafter withdrew the
questionnaires from all competi-
tive employees in the agency.
What exercised Mr. Resnicoff's
clients was the fact that, though
they are competitive employees, an
attempt was made, despite the
| modification, to subject them to
the questionnaire, They are Sey-
mour Posner, Irving Reiss and
Samuel Singer, Messra, Posner
|and Singer, disabled veterans, are
beverage control investigutors. |
|Mr, Reiss, a non-veterans, has)
been in State employ 20 years, the
others fowr years each.

Com: in an
affidavit in which he stated he
was “appointed by his Excellency,

Governor Averell Harriman,” ex-
plained:

“Allegations have been made
that the State Liquor Authority |
has been corruptly administered, |
and that fraud, favoritism |
graft haye motivated many acts
lof its employees and officers,
These allegations have reached
the stage where they are matters
of common conversation, and in-

Mr. Cohen explained that the
questionnaire method ts used for
convenience to both the employee
and the State. The employee can
write his answers in the quiet of
his home, where he has access to
his records, Also, he does not
have to be away from his Job, a
fact economical to the State, Mr.
Cohen added. The history of ques-
tionnalres was broached, and the
Court took up the theme to point
out that questionnaires are now
an established and growing prac-
tice, and began as far back as the
ambulance-chasing investigation,
being continued in the Seabury
investigation and succeeding in-
quiries, traversing three decades,

Commissioner Shapiro's ques-
tionnaire, except for the deletion,
of a question concerning political
contributions, was identical with
the one used by Miles F. McDon-
ald, now & Supreme Court Jus-
tice. When District Attorney of
Kings County, That was in the in-
vestigation of Harry Gross and his

inquiries. Mr, McDonald was able

to answer.

Mr, Cohen did not say what

intimated that Mr, Shapiro would

He propheated the outcome of

Mr, Resnicoft called to Justice

three employees, as proof that the

authority, and that he, rather
than the Liquor Authority, was

Shapiro Present

Commissioner Shapiro arrived
in court during the argument. He
was present when Justice Hecht
said the sole question was the le-
gal right of the Commissioner of
Investigation to use questionnaires
in conducting an investigation of
thelr activities. Mr, Resnicoff con-
tended the Commissioner of In-
vestigation was trying to Impose
duties on competitive employees,
though the State Civil Seryier
Commission has the sole authority
to prescribe duties,

The questionnaires were to be
sworn to at Commissioner Sha-
piro’s office, An exception was
made of employees in the Buffalo
region, because of the scattered

jlecution of thelr Jobs. They could

mail in notarized questionnaires,

Things Are Moving — We Can't Stand

A REVOLUTION is taking place on the American scene, Mil-
lions of people are on the move — reversing a trend of 50 years in
moving from the large cities to the more attractive green fields of
the suburbs, Since the late forties, It has been estimated that some
9,000,000 people have taken part in this trek — and the movement
ts still continuing,

The metropolitan areas of the country are Increasing in popula~
tion, but (the cities In them are not growing in proportion to the
growth of the surrounding areas. Every metropolitan area in this
State shows this trend, The Albany metropolitan area shows a 10.5%
increase in population in the ten years from 1940 to 1950, but the
three cities in it — Albany, Schenectady, and Troy — have only in-
creased by a relatively small percentage. Albany shows 3%, Schnec-
tady 4%, and Troy only 2% of growth during these years, The New
York City srea ts also affected. The city itself shows a gain of 5%
in the same decade, while the surrounding territory has grown by
10,7%. A writer describing this movement in a recent series of arti<
cles speaks of one town in Long Island on the outskirts of the city
where the population growth in ) years was over 500%% — an increase
in people from 400 in 1946 to over 15,000 in 1955,

The Effects Are Important

This movement cannot fall to have important and great effects
upon the suburban areas. It has aroused the animosity of some people
and excited the enthusiasm of others. It has brought with it its owm
peculiar problems of communal life and government, It is causing
a demand for more schools, more water, more sewers, more police,
more of everything. It is causing financial and tax problems, In
short, It is bringing about an upheaval in a once serene mode of life,

There is no sign that the movement will abate, There are many
reasons for it, but they are not our concern at this moment, We are
concerned at the moment with the increased communal services
which it is causing and the attendant increase of government per-
sonnel, These new people in government, which the creation of huge
shopping centers and crowded towns and village will need, are our
special interest,

They will be the road maintenance men, the sanitation workers,
the people in the water works, and others. It will be our responalbllity.
and obligation to meet these people as they come to these new jobs,
It will be our duty to make them feel welcome, They have been our
concern for years and must be our concern in the future. We must
make them comfortable in the knowledge that our organization exists
to help them adjust to the complicated problems of government em-
ployment.

‘To do this adequately we need to expand our services greatly, Aa

government grows, our Association must grow. We cannot alford te

remain stationary,

not be weakened by this callous

Military
Seniority
Bill Vetoed

ALBANY, May 2 — Governor
Harriman has vetoed a bill which
would have helped persons delayed
from getting competitive civil
service Jobs because they are in
military service.

The bill would allow candidates

who were on a civil service eligible
st when they entered military
service, and who got their govern-
ment job on discharge, to count
for seniority and other benefits
the time they spent in uniform,
Tt also would have been retro-
active and thus improved the
status of many already in State
Jobs.

In « brief veto message, the
Governor contended that admin-
istration would be “tremendous"’
and “costly” and that payment of
salary adjustments called for
would be virtually impossible out
of present funds.

Por promotion purposes, Mr.
Harriman noted, those in State
service when they enter the mill-
tary do have retroactive seniority
Tights already.

SI 916.

passed away on March 30, Al-
though John Was stationed at
Syracuse he was known statewide.
All who knew John will miss him

as a fine, sincere friend and true

sportsman.
‘They stopped her just short of the road test!

No Long Delays in Rochester
District Tax Supervisor Jack Dennin's Rochester office couldn't
top Unat one, but they were happy over a collection period in which
up to 40 men aided taxpayers, in which 35,000 returns were pro-
cessed and in which there were never long delays, Jim Kannan of the
Rochester office waa in charge.

Syracuse Ran Out of Blanks
‘The story was much the same in Joe Mercurio’s Syracuse office,
except that the Syracuse district chief had one bad day — he started
to run out of tax blanks. Came @ horrified call to Albany and a
{fresh supply of 25,000 was rushed to Joe by auto. Twenty-five ex-
aminers under Assistant Director Frank Afeltra handled the tax-
payers who needed help, Over 30,000 returns were processed.

New Quarters in Utiea

In Utica, District Supervisor Charlie Dennis had bright new

imcome tax fortns for walting taxpayers.

A woman who sat In the waiting line scowled at the new arrivals,

“Hmph he hmphed at the comers, “You State employess
eartainly take your sweet time about getting to work in the morning!”

A supervisor explained:

“These men have been at their devks upstairs since 8:30 A.M!
‘We call on additional staff to help taxpayers with thelr returns as}
they are needed. When lines start to form, we get extra help down
here. ‘The rest of the time they are a¢ work auditing returns,”

The lady was satisfied, What she didn't realise was that not
e@mly does the entire State Income Tax Bureau staff put in a tough
day's work, but during the closing part of the collection period the
taxmen pul in over 4,000 hours of me for the convenience of
late filers needing assistance.

Improve Civil Service
By Diluting It?

a Upatiity about political firings, the American people
need to be reminded that the massive attack on the
merit system continues. It takes many forms, including
such subtle ones as an address made by James C. Worthy
to the Civil Service Assembly. Mr. Worthy, a businessman
with government experience, is now an executive of Sears,
Roebuck & Co. He's against patronage, but on the other
hand, he’s for patronage, He a:yues that you've got to
have patronage because the American two-party system
needs it. He admits that “in order to gain control of the
government, it is necessary for a new administration to
control only a relatively few jobs. These are the key po-
sitions .. .” But, he adds blandly, “I think that in our
enthusiasm for extending the scope of the merit system
we have come dangerously close to denying our political
parties the maintenance they need to retain their health.”

So Mr. Worthy has a suggestion. It's this: Set aside
certain jobs just for the politicians. Not ordinary no-good
politicians, of course. Mr. Worthy raises his hands in
horor at those, What he wants is the choice of “properly
qualified” politicians belonging to the party in power.

Mr. Worthy neglects to add a most important foot-
note; Just how would he assure that the party organiza-
tions would refer only “properly qualified persons.” Surely,
he’s been around long enough to know that the referrals
would be, as they are today, of those party workers who
had done the most bell-ringing, the most bringing-out-the-
vote, the most haunting-of-the-local-clubhouse, the most
deserving cases from the politicians’ point of view.

If Mr. Worthy wants patronage, let him defend it on
its own grounds, not by saying, “There is no necessary
conflict between the merit system and the selection of
politically referred applicants.” The evidence is extremely
heavy that there is such a conflict. When political elear-
ance is required for promotions in the service (there is
evidence of this) ; when 900 deputy marshalls are removed
from the competitive Federal service to make room for
Political appointments; when positions below the policy-
making level have to be approved by a Republican or a
Democratic committee — there is conflict, and plenty of it.

So let’s get off it, Mr. Worthy! If you want good
government, the best way to get it that has been devised
wo far is via the merit system, That system should not be
rigid, of course; it should be flexible, it should be creative,
it should be open to new ideas and improvements. But let’s
not say we're improving it by diluting it

The Firefighter
‘Heart Bill' Veto

hile statistics prove that fire-fighters are subject to

heart disease at an alarming rate, out of all pro-
portion to the public at large, it is difficult, practically
impossible, for an individual firefighter to prove that his
ewn cardiac condition was directly caused by the strain
his work imposes on his heart.

There are occasions when such proof becomes im-
portant. If it can not be adduced, although the fact and
the truth are plain, the fire-fighter is made to pay a
severe penalty for his service to the public. The firemen
eught to be entitled to a legal presumption that eardio
vascular affliction was caused by the demanding nature of
their work. They are minutely examined for heart condi-
tion, and if they had the slightest sign or history of it,
they would never have been appointed.

answered questions. Here are some
of the questions and answers:

Q Under Social Security,
there not degrees of insurance?

A. Yes. One is either currently
insured or fully insured. The lesser
degree of insurance qualifies a
widow and minor children for
benefits, and allows for a lump-
sum death payment,

Q When is one fully insured?

A. When one has coverage for
half the number of quarters of
the year between January, 1951
and the present, Thus tn four
years one could become fully in-
sured Wf covered during eight
quarters, It is assumed that
retirement age of 65 is reached at
the end of these periods. If one is
covered under Social Security for
the first time, beginning in 1956
or thereafter, the requirements
would be different

A. The salary must have been

THE "HEART BILL’ VETO

(Continved from Page &)

of Jaw, to have arisen from the performance of fire-fighting
duties,
Veto Bitterly Resented

Governor Averell Harriman vetoed the bill. The fire-
fighters are incensed not only over the veto but because,
they say, they had been given to understand a hearing
would be afforded them before executive action was taken.
No such hearing was granted.

For years the measure has been one of the main goals
of the State Association of Fire-Fighters, the NYC Uni-
formed Firemen’s Association, and the NYC Uniformed
Fire Officers Association. This year success seemed in the
offing.

The blow is naturally hard to bear. The fire-fighters

are boiling with bitterness. They are lusty fight not
only at fires, but in legislative halls and executive cham-
bers. They are held in high esteem by the public, whieh,

if it had an opportunity to vote on the measure by refer-

endum, unquestionably would overwhelmingly approve
the bill. The fire-fighters will fight on, They will appeal
to the public, to officials, legislators, and all others who
may have a voice in, or an effect on, the final result, Next
year the fire-fighters must win. Justice has been denied

them too disgracefully long.
