ALBANY, Jan, 24—“The As-

members.”

This was the reaction of Dr.
Frank L, Tolman, president of
The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, to the announcement
that 10,000 employees of State in-
stitutions must pay a Federal with-

holding tax on gross income, in-
cluding maintenance,

Surprise Decision

The surprise decision that
thousands of supervisory employ-
ees in State institutions, hospitals
and prisons must pay federal in-
come tax on the value of the food
and lodging furnished to them by
the State brought the announce-
ment by the Association:

“The only remedy is a legal
action before the Court of Tax
Appeals.”

George Schoeneman, U. S. Com-
missioner of Internal Revenue, ad-
vised State Comptroller Frank C,
Moore last week that he had re-
voked a previous ruling exempting
these employees from payment of
federal income taxes in mainten-
ance values,

required payroll deductions, For.

active. First deductions will prob-

ably come on the February 15

The American Legion

And the Mitchell Bill

HE CIVIL SERVICE LEADER respectfully suggests to

the Legion that it throw its forces behind the Mitchell
vet preference bill.

A committee of the American Legion is now consider-
ing what its stand should be on the
preference for employees of New York State and all the
counties and localities within the State.

The Legion wisely refrained from committing itself at
its State convention last summer, It has listened to an
array of facts on the issue since.

As sentiment has crystallized on the it now
| appears obvious that public sentiment, especially among
those most directly concerned, is overwhelmingly in favor
of the Mitchell bill,

How the People Feel

The evidence is in:

Nineteen civie organizations—the most substantial and
responsible groups in the State—are on record for the
Mitchell bill.

All civil service organizations which have polled their |
members, are overwhelmingly on record for the bill. This
includes the Civil Service Employees Association, with
46,000 members scattered throughout the State; the Uni-
formed Firemen’s Association and the Uniformed Fire
Officers Association of New York City. It is common
knowledge that a poll of the firemen, both of veterans

Prized Job

The Patrolman examination is |
for one of the prized jobs in the
city government. Study and other
reparation for it is wisely begun
long in advance by enterprising
prospective candidates,

The written Geel is usually of
the intelligence type, with some
not too technical ‘questions about
government, including federal,
State and particularly city.

Minimum Pension Probable;
Other Gains May Come, Too

ALBANY, Jan, 24—It seems
probable that State employees will
make certain retirement gains this
year, What program the State will
accept isn’t yet known, but it is
clear that Comptroller Moore and
H, Eliot Kaplan, head of the Re-
tirement System, look favorably
upon some of the recommenda-
tions proposed by the Civil Service
Employees Association.

The plans that have had the
most detailed study by the retire-
ment officials are these:

Additional deposits by employ-
ees to increase annuities;

A change in the law to permit
retired employees to hold public
jobs in municipalities and other
non-State units of government,
without sacrificing their pensions;

A minimum retirement allow-
ance;

Increased allowance for present

Legislative Vets

ALBANY, Jan. 24—A side note
on legislative activities: Senator
William F, Condon, Westchester
Republican, has been elected
hairman of the veterans’ bloc,
with 60 war veteran legislators
present at an organization meet-
ing. The total number of veterans
in the Legislature is 68.

Assemblyman Harold C. Oster-
tag, Wyoming Republican, has
been named chairman of the
steering committee for the bloc,
nD )

tion’s program have also had ser-
ious study. The organization is
working hard to convince the ad-

cept @ 55-year voluntary retire-
ment program; and vesting of
benefits, which would protect an
employee leaving the State ser-
vice against loss of all his retire-
ment benefits, The 55-year plan
is one ardently desired by most,
State employees, but the Retire-
ment System has in the past
maintained that it could not suec-
cessfully finance such a system;
and has raised other objections
to it. An Association-sponsored
55-year retirement bill was intro-
duced in the Legislature this week.

Many retirement bills have al-
ready gone into the hopper of the
State Legislature. No informa-
tion has yet emerged from the
Comptroller’s Office to indicate
how far that agency is willing to
go in meeting the employee re-
quests. In the meantime, all facts
indicate that retired employees
suffer increasingly, caught as they
are in the squeeze between small

matters with State Comptroller
Prank C. Moore, two vitally im-
portant retirement bills were in-
troduced in the Senate this week
by Senator Seymour Halpern, of

Queen: Both are Association-
sponsored.
One bill would allow optional

retirement at age 55; the second
provides for a minimum pension
for low-paid employees,
The first of these bills would

An employee wishing to retire
at age 55 would be permitted to|

Upon retirement, this employee
would receive an allowance con-
sisting of:

1, His accumulated contribu-
tions; plus

2, A pension of 1/120th of his
final average salary multiplied by
the number of years in service;
plus

3, A pension of 1/60th of his
final average salary multiplied by
the number of years for which he
had prior service credit.

upon retirement, the member re-

2. A pension of 1/140th of his

has service credit; plus

3. A pension which equals the
difference, if any, between (a) a
pension of $30'a year multiplied
by the number of years he has
been a member, and (b) certain
other sums actuarially figured.
In no case would the retirement
allowance exceed three-quarters
of the final average salary.

Tt is estimated that in most
cases the minimum retirement al-
Jowance would reach up to $1,500.

‘Split Shift’ Makes

—

The employees at Brooklyn
State Hospital rate as their pres-
ent top objective the elimination
of the split shift, whereby the
day’s tour of duty is interrupted
by hours of off-duty. That makes
the objectionable “long day”. They
complain that their institution is
now among the last in the Depart-
ment of Mental Hygiene in which
this condition exists.

‘Cash for Ideas’ May
Extend to Local Employees

ALBANY, Jan. 24—A bill intro-
duced in the Legislature this week
extends the Merit Award idea,
now operating in the State ser-
vice, to counties, cities, and vil-
lages.

One of the most popular in-
centive plans eyer devised, the
merit award project has enjoyed
huge suces in the State, saved
hundreds of thousands of dollars,
inereased efficiency in many de-
partments, and paid off in cash
to employees who have ideas.
County and local employees have
expressed a desire to be included
in the plan, and this bill au-
thorizes it.

The plan was originally sug-
gested by the Civil Service LDAD-
ER, following the success of @
similar plan in the Federal ser-
vi 'The Civil Service Employees
Association then sponsored the
program, and the present measure,
introduced by Senator Halpern,
has Association sponsorship also.

A response to the column by
Dr. Frank L, Tolman in The

from Owen W, Jones, vice-presi-
dent of the Fort Stanwix chapter
of The Civil Service Employees

“T was so impressed by Dr. Tol-
man’s editorial, ‘The Crucial Is-
sue,’ that I feel it imperative to
express my appreciation, not
merely on behalf of myself but
in behalf of all employees of our
chapter. I have done my best to
advise as many as possible to read
and digest the contents,

Relevant Statement

“Looking over my scrap book, I
came across a clipping from the
New York Times, a portion of
a statement by Prof, Philip C.
Jessup of Columbia University.
The following is so relevant to the

a citizen can no longer be shrouded
behind the impenetrable cloak of

“for your courageous stand,

Most Important Idea

In his article, Dr. Tolman had
championed the idea that the
most important labor problem of
today is “establishing full civil
and industrial rights of the em-
Pployees of the State, of the muni-
cipalities and of the nation. It
is full equality for the public work-
er with the employee of private
industry.” Dr. Tolman disputed
the frequently-asserted doctrine
of “the sovereign State” as a reas-
on for restricting the rights of
government employees. “The doc.
trine of sovereignty belongs to the
past,” he said. “The reign of law

retired public employees, They gave their best skills and
energy for long years to the State under the illusion that
the State in return would give a measure of security and
comfort to their last years,

There are, of course, pensioners who have generous
pensions. They are thie favored few who received the
larger salaries, who made the highest possible contribu-
tions to retirement annuity, or who worked beyond the
standard three score and five years. The vast majority
of pensions receive a nominal pension, too small to support
life—to say nothing of comfort—in these years of high
prices, The average pension is between $900 and $1,000
a year,

They Know, Too

No doubt the Governor, the Comptroller and the of-
ficials of the Retirement System know the facts as well
as I, No doubt they receive letters from former associates
and employees from all over the world, as I do, asking
for the substance promised in their retirement contracts
with the State, and refusing by 1 on of their great need
to be satisfied with elusive tements of constitutional
|Jimitations or federal interference with money and credit,
or the incidence of inflation, or the universality of high
prices,

Tam sure the seriousness of the problem is recognized
in high places. Why then has so little been done to pros
tect the good faith of the State in its dealings with its
former employees?

Old and Discouraged
In my opinion, the first reason is that the pension
ers are not strongly organized and have no real voice in
the Legislature and in the Departments concerned. The
pensioners are widely scattered. They are old and dis-
couraged. They have, either from ignorance or from
negligence, mostly allowed their membership in the Civil
Service Employees ociation to lapse. They have al-
lowed their attention to be diverted to a minor issue at
Washington which, while important, is not the crux of
the matter,
Don’t Deceive Them
ible that the pensioners will be put off
g ain promises and unimportant bills. They
should not be deceived or deluded, The only solution to
the great need is emergency pension increase, This should
ih my opinion take the form of (1) applying to present
pension payments the same percentage emergency in-
creases that have been applied to the salaries of state
employees or (2) apply a minimum pension plan that may
be enacted to apply to present pensions as well as to future
retired employees,

Just and even generous action is-long overdue. The
Civil Service Employees Association will do what it can.
Every retired employee can help through membership in
the Association,

The LEADER had _ apparently
touched a highly sensitive area,

Below is one of the letter:
typical of the many which arrived
from State Troopers,

“This is just a short letter to

other Troopers for the fine edi-
torial in your paper January 11th

“You have in the past carried
numerous articles along similar

the point that I couldn't resist
dropping a line to you to let you
know my feelings in the matter.

Stepchild

“Over a period of time it must

the New York State Police seems
to be a stepchild of the State, and
have been exempted from a great
deal of the progressive and bene-
ficial legislation that other state

employees haye enjoyed, Many

A good example is the extra pay
for hazardous duty that some
State employees enjoyed a short

and any person who knows the

izes the hazards involved,
“Through different incidents

How to tune a piano!

‘The piano’s out of tune. So we'll chop it
‘up. Then we’ll get a tin horn instead.

Sure, these men are crazy.

But they’re using the same kind of
‘thinking a lot of people have been using
on the American economic system lately.

Our American way isn’t perfect. We
still have our ups and downs of prices and
\jobs. We'll have to change that. But even
80, our system works a lot better than the
second-rate substitutes being peddled by
‘some countries we could mention.

It works better because of a few simple
things. We are more inventive, and we
know how to use machine power to pro-
‘duce more goods at lower cost. We have
‘more skilled workers than any other
country. We believe in collective bargain-
ing and enjoy its benefits. And we Ameri-
‘cans save—and our savings, go into new
tools, new plants, new and better machines.

Because of this, we produce more every
working hour... and can buy more goods
with an hour’s work than any other

people in the world.

Wecan make the system work even better,
too: by all of us working together to turn
out more for every hour we work—through
better machines and methods, more power,
greater skills, and by sharing the benefits
through higher wages, lower prices,
shorter hours. ~~

It’s a good system. It can be made better.
And even now it beats anything that any
other country in the world has to offer.

So—let’s tune it up, not chop it down.

Want to help? Mail this!

I want to help.

I know that higher wages, lower prices, short-
er hours and larger earnings can all result from
producing more goods for every hour all of us
work,

Therefore, I will ask myself how I can work
more effectively every hour I am on the job,
whether I am an employee, an employer, a
professional man or a farmer,

I will encourage those things which help us
produce more and add to everyone's prosper-

Mourn Mildred Driscoll

ALBANY, Jan. 24—The recent
death of Mildred V. Driscoll sad-
dened the employees of the Divi-
sion of Placement and Unemploy-
ment Insurance. She was very
well known as a telephone opera-
tor, whose cheerful voice and
pleasant personality endeared her
to all.

She worked in the main office
of the Division for many years.
During that time, she did an ex-
cellent job of handling the tre-
dous volume of calls made
by the various offices and
bureaus of the Division.

She will be missed by all who
knew her.

ALBANY, Jan. 24—A measure
which Dr. Frank L. Tolman, pres-
ident of The Civil Service Em-
ployees Association, termed a
“must bill’ at his organization's
annual meeting has been intro-
duced in the State Legislature.

‘The bi-partisan bill creating a
three-member Public Employment
Relations Board in the Depart-
ment of Civil Service was intro-
duced last week (Thursday) by
Senator Thomas C. Desmond, Re-

publican, and Assemblyman
George W. Foy, Democrat, of
Albany.

Corrects Injustice
In a joint statement, Senator
Desmond and Assemblyman Foy
said: “It is generally recognized

that there is no adequate exist-
ing machinery for negotiation and
settlement of many problems con-
fronting employees in public ser-
vice.

“Our bill is designed to correct
this injustice, by setting up a
Board charged with the duty of
divising appropriate procedures
for negotiation and settlement of
problems relating to working con-
ditions in public employment.

The Legislators added: “This
bill gives the Board rule-making
powers and authorizes the crea-
tion of employer-employee com-
mittees in state and local gov-
ernment.”

The bill has the sponsorship of

It is estimated that the value|
of maintenance now declared tax-
able will range from $1,500 a year
to $5,000, depending upon the ex-
tent of the food and other ser-
vices provided free by the State,
in addition to gross salary plus
residence.

The decision of the Association
to seek appeal action from the
ruling came after a hurried con-
ference late last week between
Association officials and the State
Comptroller and other state
officials,

It is expected when the appeal
is made, it will have support of
top state officials, including At-
torney General Nathaniel L.

sociation. Association officials have
termed it one of the “major eff-
orts of the Association.”

Actually what the bill attempts
to accomplish is what England
and Canada have done through
their Whitley Councils,

Older Worker

Also before the Legislature is
a bill which would end the “dis-
criminatory practice against the
older worker." This measure, in-
troduced by Senator George T.
Manning, Monroe Republican,
would permit civil service work-
ers who are beyond 60 years of
age to become eligible for retire-
ment on accident disability in
event.of injuries. This is denied
this group of state employees at
the present time under the State
Retirement Law.

State Police Schedule

The Legislature has, at present,
three bills before it which would
slash the 24-hour schedule for
State Police. All three bills call
for a six-day week. Two would
limit the eight-hour day to those
through the rank of sergeant, and
provide for new appointments to
take up the slack. The measures
are limited — barring emergencie:

What Goes Here,
CommissionersP

N last week’s issue, The LEADER praised improve-

ment in the procedures of the State Civil Service
Department. Unfortunately, these improvements do not
include the element of courage. Once again the Commission
has “postponed” action on the request of employees at Danne-
mora, Matteawan, Westfield, and Albion that they be given
competitive status.

The LEADER must now state bluntly these facts:
ihat the commissioners are afraid to act before getting an
OK from the Governor's office, and so far as we can learn,
are too timid even to ask that OK. The reason for this con-
tinual fear to act is entirely political, The commissioners are
simply abdicating their responsibilities because—they think
—certain politicians wouldn’t like to see the employees get
competitive status.

That’s hardly a way to run a Civil Service Commission,
in the opinion of this paper. And if the newly proposed
one-man commission setup will be freer from political con-
trol, then it deserves strong consideration.

This newspaper suggests to the employ
stitutions involved, and to their representatives, that they
take every means at their disposal to obtain justice. They’ve
waited long enough.

The American Legion

And the Mitchell Bill

Continued from Page 1)
and non-veterans, went 13 to 1 in favor of the Mitchell
as against the Condon bill.

The Jewish War Veterans, the American Veterans
Committee, various posts of the American Legion itself,
are on record for the Mitchell bill. There is clearly no
unanimity within the Legion on the opposing Condon
measure. One Legion leader stated that a stand for the
Condon measure would “divide posts throughout the
State.”

Prominent veterans, both of the Legion and of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, have testified that the Mitchell
bill is necessary for the preservation of good government,
and that the Condon bill could seriously hurt the interests
of good government,

Public opinion surveys indicate clearly that sentiment
lies with the Mitchell measure,

The Real Question

This is not a question of preference versus no-prefer-
ence. It is not the Mitchell bill which divides veterans,
but the Condon bill, which non-disabled vets consider de-
nies them a fair shake. 'The Mitchell bill gives preference,
but it grants it in the fairest way that has yet been found,
and it grants in a manner which would not harm the best
interests of government in this State,

A third measure—the Kings County resolution—will
also be up for consideration. But the kind of preference
in this measure is so lopsided that—in the unlikely event
that the Legislature would go for it—the citizens of the
State would surely kill it at the polls. Moreover, the pro-
visions of this bill are so onerous that the Legion could
not possibly in good grace, with a feeling for the needs
of government, get behind it,

A Sign of Strength

The Legion sponsored the Condon measure last year.
What the enactment of this measure would mean to gov-
ernment—and the bitterness it would create between vet-
eran and veteran—have already been amply documented.
It would be evidence of bigness and strength on the
Legion’s part if it were to get behind the Mitchell bill,
and together with the other civic and civil service groups,
help enact it into law.

The alternative would be a bitter, costly, knock-down
drag-out fight. This is not what the Legion wants. This
is not what any of the groups behind the Mitchell bill
want. It would leave awful sea: It would help nobody.

Unity behind-the Mitchell bill is the answer.

The LEADER asks the Legion to join in getting the
effective, fairly-drawn Mitchell bill enacted into law.

Merit Man

BURTON L. SWARTZ

JEOPLE, by and large, are
honest, but honesty in some
is variable, according to economic
conditions,”

That is one of the opinions that
Burton L, Swartz holds after years
of State experience in checking
income tax returns.

He did accounting and auditing
of taxpayers’ books, sifted re-
turns, and rose by competitive ex-
amination until he is now Senior
Tax Administrative Supervisor,
(Income and Corporation Tax),
Department of Taxation and Fi-
nance, and works in the State
Office Building, NXC.

His jurisdiction is Manhattan,
The Bronx, Westchester and
Staten Island for the combination,
and includes Long Island on cor-
porate matters. So most of his
present work deals with returns
from the financial district. He
lectured on N, Y. State income
taxation at the Stock Exchange
Institute in "40 and "41.

28 Years a State Employee

Mr. Swartz, who's been em-
ployed by the State for 28 years,
says he has an excellent em-
ployer, likes the combination of
statistical and human aspects that
his present duties involve, but ad-
mits that accounting and auditing
alone can become a little trying
at times. But he’s also a lawyer,
which helps him in his work. He
suggested amendments to the tax
laws that were enacted, but mod-
estly adds: “So has many an-
other.” Besides modesty, his
characteristics are devotion to
duty, philosophical outlook, sense
of humor and strictly temperate
habits. (His ancestors lived in
Puritanical New England).

He recalls aiding Thomas E.
Dewey's staff when the present
Governor was a Special Prose-
cutor busting rackets. Certain res-
taurant' men were under sus-
picion, Mr. Swartz was assigned
to the Special Investigation Unit
of the department, under Deputy
Commissioner Spencer E. Bates,
now President of the State Tax
Commission. Mr. Dewey's men
co-operating with the State staff
included Louis Forer, who later
became Chief Accountant in the
District Attorney's office under
D. A. Frank S, Hogan, and George
Gasarch, who succeeded Mr.
Forer to that post. Some of the
facts that those men turned up
against racketeering restaurant
men made history.

Was on Track Team

Mr. Swartz was born in Lyons,
Falls, Lewis county, New York,
got a B.A, at Cornell, and turned
down a proffered Sage fellowship
in psychology to do war work
during World War I, He majored
in accounting at Cornell, where
he ran the 440 on the varsity

election in 1950? Republicans?
Democrats?

ALTHOUGH Senator Irving M.
Ives stands high among the news-
papermen as a prospective GOP
candidate, his immediate com-
ment to The LEADER, on being
informed of the survey, Was:
“Please accept an honest state-
ment when I say that I do not
wish to be Governor,” Senator
Ives’ statement is in writing.

THE SURVEY revealed that
Oscar R, Ewing, Federal Security
Administrator, and a protege of
Bronx boss Ed Flynn, stands high
as a possible Democratic candi-
date if O'Dwyer doesn’t run,

“A SURPRISING conclusion
from this survey is the apparent
dearth of support which the news-
papermen foresee for State Comp-
troller Frank C, Moore as a pos-
sible Republican candidate. Mr,
Moore received not a single first
choice vote, either among the Al-
bany or the New York City re-
porters. He received two second
choice and one third choice votes.
Moore had for years been con-
sidered in some political circles as
a likely successor to Governor
Dewey. The newsmen, who must
keep their ears close to the ground,
have apparently taken the real-
istic view that, although Moore
has strong support in the Associa-
tion of Towns and among muni-
cipal officials, and would make a
good governor, he lacks political
sex-appeal, and is virtually un-
known in New York City. As for
their own opinions, many of the
newsmen admit that Moore is
one of the most competent ad-
ministrators in the State service.

ANOTHER conclusion from the | g

given by the reporters

is wide open. Oswald D.
Speaker of the Assembly, would,
however, run fairly well in such
a race, if the views of the news-
men are a criterion.

BUT CLEARLY, in view of these
results, if the situation remains
relatively unchanged in 1950, the
GOP may try to draft Dewey.
They would need the strength
displayed by him, particularly if

the Democratic opponent is
O'Dwyer. re
It indicates, too, that despite

the present grumbling against him
in some GOP quarters, Dewey's
hold on his party in the State re-
mains strong; and must inevitably
grow stronger between now and
1950, as the party looks to him
for strength which it cannot find
elsewhere. %t bears out the re-
markable resiliency of the man,
that he is able to come back after
every defeat.

ON THE DEMOCRATIC side,
O'Dwyer is far the most popular
prospective candidate in his party,
even though some elements in the
party don’t like the way he does
business. In the survey he ran
11 to 6 above the next highest
man, Oscar Ewing. An interesting
sidelight is that the New York
City reporters don't have the
same respect for Ewing's strength
as do the upstaters. All of Ewing's
votes came from the upstate
writers.

Erastus Corning, Mayor of Al-
bany, polled a few votes as the
Democratic possibility, O'Dwyer
doesn’t hit it off with the O'Con-
nells, Albany bosses. But a deal
might be made in which they

would support O'Dwyer for Gov-

ernor in return for a place on the

ticket for Corning a,

Ray Brook
Points to
T.B. Hazards

RAY BROOK, Jan, 24—At the
regular monthly meeting of the
Ray Brook Chapter, Civil Service
Employees Association, the topic
of discussion was the recent al-
Jocation of various employees at
all T. B, hospitals and wards to
provide additional pay because of
the hazard involved.

Considerable concern was ex-
pressed because the reallocations
as at present understood do not
*over all of the employees who
sre employed in the institutions.

The Opinion

‘The concensus of the Ray Brook
Chapter was stated as follows:

“We who work in T. B, Hospi-
tals realize that all employees are
exposed to the hazards common
to the care and treatment of
tubercular patients and that it is
unfair to select only certain groups
and reward them for the hazards
involved, We felt that the recog-
nition of the justice of extra
compensation for the hazards in
T. B, Hospitals and Wards has
been amply demonstrated and
that the authorities concerned
with salary adjustments have had
ample opportunity to rectify the
unsatisfactory condition which has
existed at all times, and which
became intolerably discriminatory
when the statute covering ext
compensation for hazardous or
arduous work was eliminated, ef-
fective 1948. The new salary re-
allocations, if extended to all of
the employees in tuberculosis hos-
pitals and wards, would be satis-
factory. It is wholly unsatisfact-
ory to withhold this pay from
many of the employees in these
institutions and wards.”

REQUIIEMENTS FOR
PATROLMAN JOBS

(Continued from Page 1)

The age limits are likely to be

tthe same as they have been in
the past, 20 as minimum for ap-
plicants, 29 as maximum, but vet-
erans may deduct from their ac-
tual age the time spent in the
armed forces during the war, to
come within the maximum allow-
ance. There will be no education
or experience requirements and
no oral test.

Minimum heighth has been 5
feet 8 inches.

Veteran Preference

Veteran preference will apply,
as at present constituted, at least
until December 31, 1950, and the
new eligible list would be out be-

fore then. Under the present law,
pass the

disabled veterans who

examination, go to the top of

the list in a group, according to

their respective scores; non-dis-~

abled veterans in the next group,
on the same relative percentage

basis, and non-veterans last.

As the 1947 Patrolman eligible

list was exhausted in a year, and
the present list will be exhausted
after about two years of life, in-

stead of the legal maximum of

four, all who become eligibles on

the future list may expect job

offers, regardless of whether the

preference law is changed. If a

change is made, most likely it
would be to the provisions of the
Mitchell bill. That would give dis-
abled veterans 10 points and non~-

disabled veterans five points, to

be added to their earned scores,
with benefit. of preference limited

to one appointment, and no more

erence is repetitive.

The U. 8. Civil Service Commis-
sion will begin testing the 75,000
applicants in the Substitute Rail-
way Postal Clerk examination on
Saturday, January 29.

Written tests will be held then
and on Saturday, February 5 for
all applicants in the Second Re~
gion (New York and New Jersey).
Almost a third of the applica-
tions, 23,700, are from the NYC
area.

Applications for the examina-
tion were accepted, as provided
by Executive order, only from
veterans and from employees who
have served in the positions since
August, 1947, The positions pay
beginning salaries of $1.39 an
hour, and are located in all States,
in Alaska, and in Puerto Rico.
Candidates will be notified when
to appear, They will be called
for either day, not for both.

The substitute Railway Postal
Clerk test probably will be divided
into two parts: (1), Mail test, in-

cluding routing, following in-
structions and sorting, relative
weight; (2) general test. The

date for the holding of the test
has been annuonced yery soon af-
ter the closing of applications.
The sorting test is highly im-
portant.

At the time of the exam, a pre-
liminary sorting test may be
handed out to candidates before
the actual test begins, to show
just how it works.

One common handicap is that

candidates don’t absorb in:
tions thoroughly before s
to work. The sorting scheme
should be understood fully before
any writing is done, ‘
A good memory helps, {
Memory Aids 5

One memory aid to those whose
memory isn’t tops is the tying-in
of unfamiliar facts with facts al-
ready known. For example, given
a box with the names of three
towns which you must remember,
try to find some connection in
the meanings of the names, how
ever far-fetched. A_ hb might
contain the names Devils Lane,
Ellendale and Steele. Accordingly,
you can repeat to yourself, “It
takes a will of steel to resist the
Devil.” If there isn’t even a re-~
mote logical connection among
the names, try matching sounds.
Finley and Fargo both start with
“F", Forman and Eckman end
in the same syllable. No matter
how ridiculous the connection, it,
may help make the names “stick”
in your mind,

Two typical questions follow.

Special LEAD
Restricted to

The Civil Service LEADER an-
swers between 500 and 1,000 ques-
tions, by mail and by telephone,
every week, It not infrequently
happens that a single question
will require a search of the civil
service law, plus checking with
two or three departments.
Obviously, this service has re-
quired an enormous amount of
time and effort from the editorial
staff. It has been a service open
to all, and The LEADER has al-
ways endeavored to answer these
questions as fully as time per-
mitted.

Policy Change
Now The LEADER must an-
nounce a change in this policy.
The tempo of civil service news
is increasing, In addition to its
coverage of Federal, New York
State, and New York City new:
this newspaper is enlarging its
coverage of county and municipal
news throughout the State. We
desire to carry more study material
to help those preparing for exam-
inations, The new policy calls for
.|more interpretation of civil ser-
vice news—so .that employees will
have a better understanding of
their rights and privileges; and
officials a broader concept of the
all-around civil service and poli-

ER Service
Subscribers

tical picture affecting them. The
new Don't Repeat This column is
an example of the “deeper” ap-
proach, There will be other fea=
tures whose purpose will be furs
ther illumination and help to our

readers.
More Service
All this takes more
more intensi'

time and
votion to direct
editorial duti It means that
our reporters and editors will no
longer be as free as formerly to
answer all queries that come in.
The LEADER will not close off
its question - and -answer service
completely. Henceforth, however,
it will be the policy to answer
questions only of subscribers,
Regular subscribers will have the
privilege of asking any queries at
any time, and of obtaining full
replies.

May we urge all non-subs
to enroll now, It will ass'
if a problem comes up on which
you need an answer, you'll get it,
and get it straight,

Below is a coupon for non-sub=
seribers. Fill it out and send it in,
It will bring you the new, more
complete coverage of civil service
news, and permit you to g

Postal Clerks List Objectives

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24—Bills
to deal with six major problems
of postal employees were intro-
duced last week in Congress, at
the behest of the National Fed-
eration of Post Office Clerks.

The bills:

1. Military Credits Bill; This
would allow the amount of time
spent in the armed forces in the
computation of a veteran's s:
grades. Passage of the
would mean annual sal:
reases ranging from $200 t
A sala
The
of such |
pase is ind! ed by Bureau
of Labor Statistics figures, in or-
der to restore current purchasing |
power to the 1939 level. Salary

legislation now pending before
Congress calls for an increase of
$650: However, an effort is being
made to revise this figure upward
to $1,250.

3, Amendment to Compensation
and Injury Act: Compensation
now paid in cases of permanent
injury according to law is based
on the salary that the postal em-
ployee received ten years ago.
‘The objective of the amendments
is to base compensation on the
existing annual salary,

4. Liberalized Vacation and Sick
|Leave: Objective of this bill is to
bring postal vacations and sick
leave up to the same level as that
granted to all other United States
Government Employees, While
they receive 26 days of annual

vacation and 15 days of annual
sick leave, the postal employees
are granted only 15 days of va-
cation and 10 days of sick leave.

5. Longevity Credit: The Class-
ification Act of 1945 stipulated
additional income for those of a
stated length of service, How-
ever, its provisions did not in-
clude service performed prior to
the passage of the Classification
Act. The amendments now pro-
posed would order that all em-
ployees who have served the re-
quired number of years be given
longevity pay.

NYC NEWS

Candidates Washed Out
In Practical Tests Swamp
Commission for Another Try

An avalanche of requests from
candidates who failed practical
tests in scores of examinations has
resulted from the announcement
made in some other newspapers
that the eligibles in a test for pro-
motion to Motorman would get an-
other whack at a practical they
had failed. The rule of the NYC
Civil Service Commission has been
noi to allow repeat performances
in practical tests, as then there
would be no end to the number
of re-examinations, nor any stab-
ility to an eligible list.

In the Motorman eligihle case,
however, the Commission was
committed to making an excep-
tion, because of a notice to can-
didates that appeared on the ex-
amination paper. It said that no
practical retest would be allowed
until the Hst of candidates who
passed all parts of the test had
been exhausted,

Surprise, Surprise!

Indirectly, that was a promise
by the Commission that it would
allow a second practical and don-
stituted a variation from policy
that had slipped into the paper,
no one now knows how or why.
Even Samuel H, Galston, Director

Transportation Board
Has 41,715 Employees

At the end of 1948 the Board of
transportation had 41,715 em-
ployees on its roster, 2,224 of them
female.

‘The payroll in 1948 was approx-
imately $130,000,000, Last July a
wage increase of 24 cents an hour

was granted to 34,000 transit
employees, It amounted to
$25,000,000.

it.

As The LEADER published last
week, the request to give the can-
didates another immediate chance
was denied by the Commission,
also the eligible lists for Motor-
men in the three divisions of the
Board of NYC Transit System
were made interchangeable, so two
lists would have to be exhausted
before a re-test is given, one be-

ing exhausted already. Also, as the!

notice stated on the examination
paper, the Board of Transportation
would have to certify that the
needs of the service require the
second practical, The Board has
so certified to the Commission,
through General Superintendent
Edward T. McNally.
Too Light to Handle

In the promotion test to Motor-
man (IRT), 48 men failed the
practical, As the list of eligibles
for this division was nearly ex-
hausted, as since has been, the re-
exam was requested, in the hope
that the practical re-test would
immediately give a second bite to
the flunkees, who complained that
the unloaded, two-car test train
on which they were tried out
wasn’t comparable to the long,
loaded trains they drive as pro-
visionals now. Bumpy stops re-
sulted.

Now the IND, or independent
subway, motorman’s list must be
exhausted before the IRT hope-
fuls get the request granted. There
is no BMT list. Q

The Motorman promotion ex-
amination to open next month,
as told exclusively in last week's
LEADER, will be citywide.

‘The avalanche of letters about
other exams will therefore be in-
effectual, as the Commission an-
nounces that it is abiding by its
rule, even though honoring for
one time—and one time only—the
exception.

NEW YORK CITY NEWS

Clerk Regrading Debated atHearing

The NYC Civil Service Com-
mission held a public hearing
on Wednesday, January 19, at
2:30 P.M. at 299 Broadway, near
Duane Street, on the reclassifica-
five Clerk grades. The
tion was proposed by
Budget Director Thomas J. Pat-
terson.

The regrading of permanent pay
would neither raise nor reduce
any Clerk’s salary at present, but
would provide $110 and $120 raises
at the minimum of the grades,
except Grade 1, in the future,

‘The clitinge would dispense with
present payroll waivers by those
whose permanent pay, because of
$370 increases, exceeds the maxi-
mum of the civil service grades.

Clerk, Grade 1, which is dor-
mant in the present grading, since
no appointments are made to it,
would be continued throughout,
range $1,200 to $1,680, for pos-
sible future appointments, should
economic conditions deteriorate.

‘Two-way Safeguard

There have been two additions
to permanent pay — $120 in 1946
and $250 in 1948, with minor dif-|
ferences here and tliere. In some |
instances therefore, employees!
pierced their grade tops and the}
resolution _makes the new grade

COAL

tops high enough to include them.
A safeguard against any present
permanent employees being ad-
versely affected is contained in a
saving clause in the resolution,
but no grade advance may be ob-
tained because pay is higher than
the minimum of the next higher
grade. This takes care of those
who'll still be kept above new
grade maximum because of the
saving clause, and dispenses even
in that case with the necessity of
waivers.
The eff
as_follor
1. Establish new and temporary
overlapping grades, as of January

$s may be summarized

last, (Present grades don’t
overlap).
2. Set $250 higher minimums,

(except for Grade 1) and $480
higher maximums, as of January
1 last. Spreads would be $829
(Grade 2) and $739 (Grades 3 and
4). Present spreads are $600.

3. Let the new Grade 1 mini-
mum ($1,200) stand, but on July
1, 1949, raise the other new mini-
mums (Grades 2, 3, 4 and 5) by
$110. Let all the previous new
;Maximums stand. Spreads per
grade, except Grade 1, becomes
$119.

again on July 1, 1950 for Grades
2, 3, 4 and 5 by $120 more, but
again let all maximums stand.
Spreads per grade, except Grade
1, $120. This restores the non-
overlapping grades.
Bonus Aspect

The $250 addition to minimums,
as of January 1 last, plus the $110
as of July 1 next, and the $120
as of July 1, 1950, total $480. The
immediate bookkeeping additions
to maximums equal $480, too.
This figure may be compared with
the cost-of-living bonus, usually
of $650 or $660 and taken to rep-
resent a proposed part absorption
of bonus into permanent pay,
whereupon it becomes subject to
pension deductions and costs the
City additional money. The res-
olution, therefore, has far-reach-
ing possibilities as indicating ad-
ministration policy on conversion
of bonus to permanent pay. The
answer would be: Yes, but far
from 100 per cent. The Patterson
plan for the clerical service would
absorb progressively 17 per cent
of the bonus into permanent pay,
beginning July 1 next, if one ig-

nores the $370 permanent pay in-
creases previously granted.
Speculation on Possibilities

An administration way of look-
ing at it would be: Add the per-
manent pay increases already
granted ($370) and the proposed
additions to permanent pay ($230) ,
total $600; and call it a nearly
complete “absorption” of the bon-
us.

The permanent pay grant would
be used for cancelling-out an equal
amount of the bonus, under this
construction.

This would jeopardize the
bonus at some future date not
yet determinable, except certainly
not during the first half of this
year, and possibly not until the
raising of minimums is complete,
on July 1, 1950, when a new bud-
get takes effect. That is not the
budget that’s being prepared now
(1949-50), but the following one.

Laundry Workers’ Petition
On Wages to be Argued

A petition by 400 Laundry
Workers in the Department of
Hospitals for the higher benefits
of the prevailing rate of wages,
under Section 220 of the Labor
Law, will be argued in the Ap-
Pellate Division on February 15 by
David Savage, their attorney. In
opposition will be Assistant Cor-
poration Counsel Leon Mendel-
sohn.

The Laundry Workers would
benefit by an average of about
$200 a year per person back to
1942, or about $1,200 each, if they
succeeded,

They say that they are skilled
tradesmen.

The representative petitioner is
Sadie Cavanaugh. Another case,
involving the same question, is
that of Leo Pinkwater and others,
in which Gabrielli and Gabrielli
are the attorneys, and it will be
argued at the same time,

Comptroller Lazarus Joseph had

Clerk Regrading Debated atHearing |

Service Com-
public hearing

The NYC Civil
mission held a
on Wednesday, January 19, at
2:30 P.M, at 299 Broadway, near
Duane Street, on the reclassifica-
tion of five Clerk grades. The
reclassification was proposed by
Budget Director Thomas J. Pat-
terson.

The regrading of permanent pay
would neither ralse nor reduce
any Clerk's salary at present, but
would provide $110 and $120 raises
at the minimum of the grades,
except Grade 1, in the future,

‘The chiinge would dispense with
present payroll waivers by those
whose permanent pay, because of
$370 increases, exceeds the maxi-
mum of the civil service grad

Clerk, Grade 1, which is dor-
mant in the present grading, since
no appointments are made to it,
would be continued throughout,
range $1,200 to $1,680, for pos-
sible future appointments, should
economic conditions deteriorate.

‘Two-way Safeguard

There have been two additions
to permanent pay — $120 in 1946
and $250 in 1948, with minor dif-
ferences here and there. In some |
instances therefore
pierced their grade tops and the
resolution makes the new grade

tops high enough to include them.

A safeguard against any present.
permanent employees being ad-
versely affected is contained in a
saving clause in the resolution,
but no grade advance may be ob-
tained because pay is higher than
the minimum of the next higher
grade, This takes care of those
who'll still be kept above new
grade maximum because of the
saving clause, and dispenses even
in that case with the necessity of
waivers.

The effects may be summarized
as_follo

1. Establish new and temporary
SreriepEns grades, as of January
1 last. (Present grades don’t
overlap).

2, Set $250 higher minimums,
(except for Grade 1) and $480
higher maximums, as of January
1 last. Spreads would be $829
(Grade 2) and $739 (Grades 3 and
4). Present spreads are $600.

3. Let the new Grade 1 mini-
mum ($1,200) stand, but on July
1, 1949, raise the other new mini-
mums (Grades 2, 3, 4 and 5) by

| $110. Let all the previous new

maximums stand. Spreads per
grade, except Grade 1, becomes

again let all maximums stand,
Spreads per grade, except Grade
1, $120. This restores the non-
overlapping grades.
Bonus Aspect

The $250 addition to minimums,
as of January 1 last, plus the $110
as of July 1 next, and the $120
as of July 1, 1950, total $480, The
immediate bookkeeping additions
to maximums equal $480,
This figure may be compared with
the cost-of-living bonus, usually
of $650 or $660 and taken to rep-
resent a proposed part absorption
of bonus into permanent pay,
whereupon it becomes subject to

pension deductions and costs the
City additional money, The res-
olution, therefore, has far-reach-
ing possibilities as indicating ad-
ministration policy on conversion
of bonus to permanent pay. The
answer would be: Yes, but far
from 100 per cent. The Patterson
plan for the clerical service would
absorb progressively 17 per cent
of the bonus into permanent pay,

Speculation on Possibilities

An administration way of look-
ing at it would be: Add the per-
manent pay increases already
granted ($370) and the proposed
additions to permanent pay ($230),
total $600; and call it a nearly
complete “absorption” of the bon~
‘us.

The permanent pay grant would

too. | be used for cancelling-out an equal

amount of the bonus, under this
construction.

This would jeopardize the
bonus at some future date not
yet determinable, except certainly
not during the first half of this
year, and possibly not until the
raising of minimums is complete,
on July 1, 1950, when a new bud-
get takes effect. That is not the
budget that’s being prepared now
(1949-50), but the following one.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

Limits of

Back-Seniority

An opinion clarifying the mean:

ing of retroactive seniority for
war veterans w ndered to th
NYC Civil Service Commission,
at its request, by Corporation
Counsel John P. McGrath.

The opinion more closely de-
fines the limits of retroactive
seniority, The Corporation Coun-
sel had previously rendered an
opinion on the subject,

He says, in effect, that inver:
senior! which permits a vete

fn to share the seniority of the
eligible next lower down on the
list who had been appointed or
Promoted, is not to be based on
standing gained after such prior
appointment or promotion,

The rulings on _ retroactive
seniority are important not only
because of the weight of seniority
in promotion examinations, but
even eligibility to take such pro-
motions. The retroactive senio
es many employ eli-
who otherwise wouldn't be.

McGrath in his opinion

| ection 246, subdivisions
6, 7, 7a and 7b, of the State Mili-
tary Law.

The authority to grant retro-
active seniority is expressed in
the statute as follows:

“ere**A public employee ap-
pointed from such special eligible
list or from such promotion eli-
gible list, after passing a com-
parable examination as herein
Provided, shall, for the purpose
of computing seniority credit and
training and experience credit
upon promotion and seniority in
the event of suspension or demo-
tion, be deemed to haye been ap-
pointed on the earliest date upon
which any eligible, who was lower
on the regular promotion eligible
list, was appointed. * * *"

Former Opinion

In his previous opinion, dated
June 25, 1948, Mr. McGrath ad-
vised Budget Director Thomas J.
Patterson that a disabled veteran
whose place on the list promul-
gated after competitive examin-
ation was 8.3 was entitled to

rimary preference and should
be regarded as being No. 1 on the
list, for purposes of appointment
or promotion, He recalled:
therefore concluded that a per-
son thereafter returning from war
e whose standing on the list
not entitled to re-
to the
eran's ap-

s given
in the

questions ar

tion, The key is that the veteran
is entitled to haye his seniority
rights computed to the date of
appointment or promotion of an
eligible whose mame Was lower
down on the list by appointment
order as of the time the first
Mentioned appointment or pro-
motion was made,

Answers the Questions

Mr. McGrath then continue:
addressing the Commission:

“The questions asked by you
ave answered by the application
ef this conclusion to the fact
of the following two typical cass

Vets’

he is not entitled to retroactive
seniority based upon the date of
A’s appointment. The reason for
this result is that “A” wi ever
“lo on (the) eligible list” with-
in the meaning of Military Law
Section 246 subd, 7, When A was
appointed “B” had no status as a
disabled veteran which would have
required his appointment to that
of A,

“2, Candidate A passes a com-
petitive examination and achieves
a standing of No. 10 on a list
However, because Candidate “A”
is a disabled veteran, within the
meaning of the Constitution, Ar-
ticle V, Section 6, he is entitled
to and receives the first appoint~
ment, so that in the legal sense,
he is No. 1 on the ‘eligible list,’
At the time A is appointed, B
absent on military service, The:
B returns to City service
and is permitted to take a com-
payable examination, pursuant. to
Military Law Section Section 246,
subd, 5, He achieves a place upon
the list equivalent to No. 8 and
is appointed,

“Notwithstanding the fact that
B is a disabled veteran, he is not
entitled to retroactive seniority
based upon the date of A’s ap-
pointment. The reason for this
result is that A was never lower
on the ‘eligible list’ than B, within
the meaning of Military Law Sec-
tion 246, subd. 5, A was, in legal
effect and for purpos of ap-
pointment, No. 1 on the list. At
the date of A’s appointment, B
had no status as a disabled vet-
eran which would have entitled
him to appointment prior to that
of A. B did not achieve his dis-
abled veteran's status until he
returned from military service.
B is therefore entitled ‘only to
retroactive seniority from the date
on which he was actually passed
over by the appointment of a
non-veteran lower than he on
the list. This result would follow
whether the persons involved were.
disabled or non-disabled veterans
or other persons entitled to_re-
troactive seniority under the Mil-
itary Law, such as members of the
Marine or the Red

about 18,000 members, is a holder
of U. 8. bonds of various types,
totalling $770,000. These are be-
lieved to be assets of the insur-
ance fund, The office fund, used
for operations, is shown to be
small, and has wound up at $5,000
in one year and less in another,
It is the office fund that should
include the receipts of the ball,
the plaintiffs declare,

The summons and complaint
were served on the defendants at
the recent PBA ball at Madison
Square Garden,

Tt is reported that Attorney
Tully’s defense will be that the
officers and board members acted
according to the will of the ma-
jority of all the members, and
that therefore all the accounting
was done that was required, the
intent of the law being not to re-
quire any additional accounting
than the majority of the members
desired, They could waive, and
did waive, some provisions of
Section 46, was the reported ar-
gument of the defense,

Some ball proceeds were men-
tioned in successive annual re-
ports; $14,000 was advanced to
the office fund on one occasion,
other amounts in other years, but
nothing like a six figure amount.
