By CHARLES SULLIVAN
Proposed Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps;
What It Is and How It Will Operate
WASHINGTON — You Gov-
ernment gals, do you want a bit
of sound advice from a wise old
Washington owl?
Sure! Well, here it is:
Get full information on the
Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps.
Wait, of course, until the corps
is actually approved by the Gov-
ernment. The House has already
I the bill setting up the
corps. The bill is now hung up
in the Senate, but final approval
is anticipated. No applications
are now being accepted, ‘The
LEADER will inform you in sub-
up by legislation,
partment will issue regulations,
and these regulations will be very
important as the bill gives the
Secretary of War wide authority
over the organization,
Sponsor of the bill 1s Rep. Edith
Nourse Rogers, Republican, of
Massachusetts, and Mrs. Rogers
says that corps members will be
used as clerks, machine opera-
tors, telephone, telegraph and
teletype operators, pharmacists,
dietitians, hostesses, librarians,
theatre employees, welfare work-
ers, post exchange workers, plot-
ters, tellers and supervisors in in-
formation and filter centers.
“These are but a few,” says Mrs.
Rogers, “and without question
there will be other categories in
which women will be used.
Mrs, Rogers told The LEADER
that the War Department had in-
dicated to her that about 10,000
WAAC members would be used
immediately after the bill passes
in the Aircraft Warning Service
of the Interceptor Command.
‘This service now has 6,000 unpaid
women volunteers.
Other pertinent _ information
about the WAAC: The corps is
limited to 150,000 members by the
House bill. The director will re-
ceive $3,000 a year and allow-
ances, and the assistant $2,400 a
year and allowances. A school
will be set up to train officers for
the corps. Members will be uni-
formed. While they are attending
school, students will be paid $50
month and will be given board,
room, clothing, school supplies
and the like,
First officers will be paid $2,000,
second officers $1,575, and third
officers $1,500, together With al-
lowances. When quarters aren't
furnished, the director shall be
paid in liew thereof $100 a month,
assistant directors $80 a month,
and officers $40 a month, Pay
for commissioned grades: First
officers, $864 a year; leaders at
$720 a year, and junior leaders at
$648 a year. The lowest rank in
the corps is that of auxiliary,
and this rank carries the same as
a private in the rear ranks which
is now $21 a month for the first
four months. Quarters and other
allowances, of course, are made
for auxiliary members.
Must Have A-1 Character
Only women of excellent char-
acter and in good physical condi-
tion will be admitted. They must
have no dependents and they
must be between the ages of 21
and 45.
Now here's why the wise old
Washington owl advises you Gov-
ernment gals to investigate the
possibilities of the WAAC. The
House bill’ carried a. provision
guarantecing corps members their
old jobs in the Federal service
after the war. Now the practical
effect of this provision is to give
corps members job security, We
all know that after this war that
the heads of Government em-
ployees will roll by the thousands.
But the boys who go into the
army will have their old jobs
awaiting them in the Federal
service and the girls will be given
similar treatment for service in
WAAC.
The wise old Washington ow!
knows, too, what happened dur-
ing World War I. The army
didn't have an WAAC or anything
similar to it. But the navy did.
It had a group known as yeo-
manettes, Some of the old yeo-
manettes are in their jobs today.
They were given veterans’ prefer-
ence and they held their jobs
through all the period of navy de-
pression,
These yeomanettes did typing,
stenography, messenger work and
just about everything else. Un-
questionably the WAAC Will at-
tempt to keep their members do-
ing as much military work as
possible, But Mrs. Rogers said
they will do clerical work and she
should know.
What the WAAC may turn out
to be, in fact, is a direct recruit-
ing agency to hire needed em-
ployees by the War Department.
The department needs them in
such numbers that it's hard for
the Civil Service Commission to
fill the orders. You know, give
the gal a uniform and War
would be deluged with stenos and
typists. And incidentally, the de-
partment is trying to hire 1,000
stenos and typists here in Wash-
ington right now but it hasn't
been able to get them.

ther details.

Of the WPB

Strange to say, he doesn't even
want to be referred to as director
of personnel. The title, directoy

ward has anything to say about
d has anything to say.
’m no personnel director,” he
explains, “this job is an operat.
ing problem and I'm an operato,
l've been keeping things moving
all my life—from railway engines
to government offices — and [
think we can get this office on
the right track very shortly.
“So far as the personnel prac.
tices are concerned, well, there
are other people in this office wno
will handle that job, Mine, as |
see it, is to put this organization
on a smooth-running basis and I
think I can do it.”
His Background
It's very plain that Hayward
wasn't tutored in the school of
scientific personnel management,
His college was that school of
tough knocks.
Hayward was born and raised in
Altoona, Pa, At the age of 15~
in 1909—he went to Philadelph
where he got a job as an appren-
tice in the Pennsylvania Railrond
yards.
He moved up the ladder stead-
ily. From apprentice he was pro-
moted to machinist, then to fore-
man, chief clerk, division chjet
clerk, régional chief clerk, and a
half dozen other jobs. He is now
on leave from the Pennsylvania
Railroad as assistant to the gen-
eral superintendent of motor
power
What He Looks Like
Hayward, bald, moon-faced and
bespectacled, took leave from the
railroad in April, 1939, to set up
the regional office for the Rail-
road Retirement Board in Cleve-
land, Railroad Retirement Board
drafted him for the job since it
wanted a railroad man to head up
at least one of its offices,
A year later he was sent to Chi-
cago to straighten out the Kail-
road Retirement office there. Ho
was taken from that: job and
placed in one of the hottest spats
in Washington. Half a dozen peo
ple already have had the person:
nel job at WPB, +
The board now has 11,000 om-
ployees. New workers are being
hired about 1,500 each month.
WPB was built up from the
ground floor and it naturally has
contracted growing pains,

6-Day Week
Again Condemned

porative state of lethargy, told

joid. ‘The six-day week means
that you will not get 100 percent
utilization of the working capabil-
ities of city employees. Conse-
quently, you will not be enabling
them to contribute all they could
in the interests of national de-
nse.”
ies: municipal employees, he
said, could use the extra time they
are now giving the city to help
the national defense efforts.
Says Nothing Is Gained
“Tt wouldn't be so bad if they
could accomplish something In
those extra hours imposed by the
Mayor," he added, "But all in-
dications are that they cannot ac-
complish anything they cannot do
during the rest of the week.’’
Councilman Powell declared
that the functions of city depart-
ments, rather than be impaired,
will actually be improved by les-
sening of the long week.
Great Britain’s experience,” he
said, “shows that such policies
as the six-day week impeded
rather than helped the country's
war efforts."”
‘They Can't Shop
Daniel Allen, secretary-treasurer
of the SCMWA,, told the com-
mittee that a city employee “has
to play hooky" if he or she wants
time off Saturday to do weekly
shopping ‘under the current six-
day week arrangement,"
Mr. Allen said the inconvenience
of curtailing normal shopping
periods ‘constitutes as much a
blow to civilian morale as just
being penned in an office during
such time ag could easily be made
up during. any part of the rest
of the week,""
He said the war effort and de-
mocracy “certainly don't requir

posal that the Board of Estimate
keep up a city employce’s pen-
sion contributions while that
employee is serving in the armed
forces was entirely favorable
this week. Here’s what they
said:
Councilman William A, Carroll:
“Tt ought to be pushed through
as soon as posible. The least the
city can do for those drafted out
of civil service is to give them the
ease of mind that must come from
the fact that they will not have
to make up years of pension de-
fault when they return. Even
this concession wouldn't be match-
ing all that was done for those
who served in the first World
War, but it would be a fine start
in the direction of more liberal
grants.”’
Councilman Edward Vogel
“The idea has unbounded sense
and should be adopted into law
immediately.”
Councilman John P. Nugen
“The principle of the idea is defi-
nitely good. I'm willing to go
along with it on appearances
alone. After all, what's wrong
with helping a man who can’t
help himself?”
Councilman Louis Cohen: “Mr.
Isaacs’ proposal is a grand idea.
The city is in good enough shape, T
think, to carry out this plan, Cer-
tainly, it doesn't expect a civil
service worker earning the aver-
age city wage to go out and fight
and try to send home some money
and keep his pension rights up at
the same time, And think of the
discouraging vision of trying to
make up years of back payments,
if this isn’t done for him!"
Councilman John M, Christen-
sen: ‘'I'm not quite sure the city
could bear up under this financial
burden, but if it can possibly sce
its way clear, it ought to do every-
thing in its power to help these
men,”’
Councilman Walter R. Hart:
“As far as I can see offhand,
Mr. Isaacs has a fine idea,
Mr, Isaacs has contended that
the Board of Estimate and the
city have shown too mach of a
desire to shun their responsibili-
ties in helping to shoulder the
draftee's burdens,

Directed by energetic, silver-
thatched, William Tighe, the cer-
tification bureau is the depar
ment in which all eligible lists
are kept, the mill through which
the names of all eligibles must
pass before they can be appoint-
ed. Here's how it works:
Suppose the Fire Department
decides to appoint twenty fire-
men, Commissioner Patrick
Walsh, or someone in his depart-
ment designated as the appoint-
ing officer, sends a request to the
Civil Service Commission for the
names of qualified eligibles. In
many departments the appointing
officer is the secretary. In some
departments he is a deputy com-
missioner,
The Civil Service Commission
What Happens When You're on an Eligible List?
has a brand new list for fireman,
which has never been used for the
Fire Department, The request
goes to Mr. Tighe. Mr. Tighe
sends over to the Fire Depart-
ment the names of about the first
35 eligibles on the list. The send-
ing over of names of candidates
who have passed a test, in the or-
der of their standing on the list,
is “certification.” It's as simple
as all that,
Commissioner Walsh, in the
case of the Fire Department, or
any other appointing officer, is
legally entitled to select one ‘out
of any three names certified.
However, in actual practice, the
appointing officer of any depart-
ment under the jurisdiction of
the Mayor is not allowed to pass
over the name of any eligible cex-
tified by the Commission unless
approval is obtained from the
Mayor.
Must Act in 10 Days
The appointing officer of the de-
partment has ten days in which
to act on the certification, to do
his appointing, If he does not
make his appointments within
that period of time, the names
are returned to the Civil Service
Commission, When another re-
quest is made, the same eligibles
are again certified by the Civil
Service Commission, This ex-
plains why eligibles are often cer-
tified many times before they are
appointed,
‘Three types of civil service ell-
gible lists are retained in the cer-
tification bureau.
‘The first type is known as a pre-
ferred list, which consists of
names of city employees who
have been laid off for reasons
beyond their control.
The second type is the promo-
tion list, which is an eligible list
established as a result of a promo-

the Mayor submits an address to the Board of Estimate.

Increase for
Hospital Workers
The biggest single increase in
the budget is for the low-paid
workers in the Hospital Depar'
ment—30 semi-annual salary in-
crease for nurses, hospital at-
tendants and hospital helpers. I
am informed there are individuals
under other titles who are in the
same situation. They will be
taken care of out of the $500,000
lump sum appropriated for this
purpose,
Health Dept. Cut
The Health Department will
have to take its cut along with
all other departments not en-
gaged in immediate defense ac-
tivities. It has hundreds of Pub-
lic Health nurses, These nurses
ought to be in the Army. As the
nurses go, much of the support-
ing staff becomes needless.
More Aid for
Birth Records
The Bureau of Vital Statistics
has been working overtime , . .
furnishing birth certificates to
people who need them in connec-
tion with defense. The staff has
been greatly expanded and will
require further expansion.
Parks Cut
Down, Too
There is a reduction in this ap-
propriation (Parks). Baths and
pools under the jurisdiction of the
Parks Department, have been re-
duced to a one-session, six-day-a-
week basis,

This Is How Officials, Employee
Reacted to the Mayor’s 1942-1943 Budget
Mayor LaGuardia’s depart-
ment heads steamed in silence
this week over his budget slashes,
But Park Commissioner Robert
Moses, faced with a $868,358 cut
in his department for 42-43,
roared in the open.
Bluntly, Mr, Moses said he
didn't like the whole business
and his attitude indicated he
didn't care if the Mayor heard
him. ’
Leading the fight precipitated
by the announcement that 2,100
persons faced loss of their jobs
a fight that stirred instant re-
sentment among innumerable or
ation heads and untold bit-
gan
terness among city employees—
Mr. Moses didn't give the pro-
posed budget a chance to cool off
at all.
Striking it while it was hot, the
Park Commissioner echoed pub-
licly the sentiments stewing
quietly inside his fellow Com-
missioners when he annouhced
“The recreational facilities of
this department might better be
closed than continued under con-
ditions which make increasing
vandalism and less public safety
possible,” he stated flatly.
Then; “Prices, moreover, are
rising for nec 'y material and
equipment, and the general effect
be

contention that the park system
cannot begin to operate efficient-
ly on the Mayor's allowance of
$9,020,192 for next year.

McCarthy Has His Own Plan
Councilman William H. Me-
Carthy told The LEADER he will
offer the Mayor a plan showing
how, by placing a huge number
of city employees in Government
jobs, among other things, Mr. La-
Guardia could net the city the
same budgetary saving without
abolishing any positions.
He thinks he also can suggest
a way in which “much money
could be obtained for the city
so as to make the proposed job
slashes unnecessar,
Calls It a ‘Boner’
Councilman John P, Nugent
thought the Mayor “pulled a
boner,’ He said the stand taken
by Commissioner Moses just
about covers the whole thing, as
he sees it, and offered the belief
that the State ought to come im-
mediately to the city’s aid to
help it solve its problem,
‘The Mayor doesn't take into
consideration the fact that the
cost of li has gone way up
and is still rising,” he pointed
out, “and yet here he is wielding
the axe. It's a tough proposi-
tion for the city employees, all
right."
Councilman A, Clayton Powell,
looking particularly at the lower
starting salary for policemen,
held that “this bill no doubt put
temptation in their paths. When
you get a man to work for
around $22 a week, and expect
him to buy uniforms, among
other things, you're asking too
much,” he said,
Councilman Stanley M. Isaacs
and Peter Cacchione said they
were making extensive studies of
the proposed bidget, weren't yet
prepared to make statements.
Reaction among employee or-
ganizations was instant and
vigorous.
Allen Offers Program
Daniel Allen, _secretary-treas-
urer of the State, County and
Municipal Workers, said that if
the Mayor really wants to have
his workers win the war, he
should abide by the following
program:
1. Immediate establishment of
administration-employee councils
to determine those steps neces-
sary for increasing the efficiency
of and stimulating volunteer em-
ployee) activity.
2, Proposed budget proposals
not to go into effect until satis
factory meetings have been held.
3. Modification of the budget to
provide salary adjustments for
lower and middle brackets work-
ers no longer receiving incre-
ments.
4. Recognition of the fact that
funds are available for such in-
creases since the budget is $22,
000,000 below the constitutional
tax limit, :
5. Awareness that a thick slice
Mayor LaGuardia’s Budget Threatens
of pie to the big real estate in-
terests, with peanuts and less to
the little fellows, is not the true
win-the-war spirit.
6. Positive guarantees against
layoffs of 2,100 whose jobs are ap-
parently to be abolished.
Machinists Denounce Cuts
Earl W. Metz, spokesman for
the Brotherhood of Certified Civil
Service Machinists and Helpe
denounced the proposed slashes as
“false economy" and held that
“none of the layoffs is neces-
sary.”"
Suggests Looking at City Bonds
Henry Feinstein, president of
the Federation of Municipal Em-
ployees stated:
“It it is war for the civil ser
vice employees, as the Mayor con-
tends, so, too, it is war concern-
ing bonded indebtedness and in-
terest rates which amount to one-
third of the entire budget.
“Reduce interest rates on city
bonds to the current rate being
paid on all outstanding bonded
indebtedness and the city can
Save itself $25,000,000, thus mak-
ing it unnecessary to cut the fel-
lows who can least afford to be
slashed.”
Declared Mr. Feinstein
“The Mayor, in his budget
message, states: ‘I appeal to
labor for help and co-
operation’ and in the next breath
Knifes labor in the back, In all

instances, he went further tha,
this, and showed his contempt

“The prevailing rate of Wage

‘The much heralded labo:

Pensions
I must call attention to an in-
creasingly serious problem
This is steady and relentless pres-
sure by all selfish groups of
employees to secure benefits for
which they have not paid, .. .
ypical of such selfish action are
two bills now pending in the
Legislature, one to permit the re-
ment of employees at age 50
with pensions for the rest of their
nd another permitting an
ee who has complete 15
of service and is dropped
without fault or delinquency . . .
to draw a pension for the rest of
his life, based upon his contribu-
tions, and if he is in the competi
tive service and has attained a;
45, to get an additional allowance
out of City funds.
What the Mayor
Said About Salaries
‘There has been and will con-
tinue to be pressure for the in-
crease of city salaries to meet the
rising cost of living. Blanket
salary increases cannot be grant-
ed except to those groups of em-
ployees at the subsistence level.
Where an employee is promoted
to.a position of higher responsi-
bility he will be recognized with
an increase in salary, although,
in accordance with past practice,
there will be a reduction from the
salary paid to the previous in-
cumbent,
While it is not possible to give
general salary increases, I am un-
willing to cut ‘salaries in view of
increased living costs.
ome large groups of City em-
ployees are at the subsistence
level and it cannot be expected
that they will be able to meet the
rising cost of living without wage
increases. These have been pro-
vided. Some of them are in the
budgetary appropriations of the
ve departments, notably in
Public Works (for
) and in the Libraries, for
year!
attered through the city de-
‘tments are miscellaneous
grous who fall into this category.
For these a lump sum of $500,000
has been provided.
It is my hope that in the course
of this correction of salaries we
will be able to put the remaining
per diem laborers on a per annum
basis in all cases where they work
a full year,
No More
Grade 1 Clerks
First grade clerks have been ap-
pointed at an entering salary of
$840 in past years. They have
gone by regular salary increments
of $120 to a maximum of $1,199.99,
or one cent under $1,200 per yea
The salaries paid haye been rea-
sonable for the work performed.
Nevertheless, due to the economic
depression, married men‘with fam-
ilies sought and accepted positions
as first-grade clerks. The $840
salary is insufficient to afford
support in such a_ situation.
Normally, men with these re-
sponsibilities would not have ac-
cepted the positions, but we were
compelled to appoint them be-
cause we must take people as they
appear on eligible lists, The po-
sitions were intended for young
people just out of school.
In view of the actual situation,
I have determined that until the

State Devises New System to Protect
Test Papers Against Tampering
ALBANY. — One of the most
sweeping innovations ever in-
voked by the State Civil Service
Commission to guard against tam-
pering with test papers of candi-
dates for State and municipal
civil service jobs was announced
today. Through a new system of
identification marking and
the Commission believes i
now a copper-riveted method
against manipulation of examina-
tion papers. The new system
probably will be first used in the
May 23 series of State tests and
later will be extended to all State
and local examinations. The rea-
son why it cannot be used imme-
diately is because present printed
supplies must first be used up.
Although no proof ever has been
forthcoming of tampering with
examination papers or corruption
of examiners or others who might
be in a position to change a can-
didate’s answers, the Commis-
sion, after study of the new meth-
od of identifying papers, decided
to put it into effect. It was ex-
plained as enother step to make
the examinations fool-proof,
‘The Commission’s statement fol-
lows: “Additional safeguards to
prevent the identity of candidates
in a civil service examination
from becoming known prior to the
completion of examination ratings
have been put into effect for all
future examinations, the State
Civil Service Commission has an-
nounced. Under the new plan,
even the candidate does not know
what number is assigned to his
examinatiou paper for rating pur-
poses.
“The new system works as fol-
lows: A stub on the first page of
the candidate's examination an-
swer papers is filled out by the
candidate with his name and ad-
dress and total of the examina-
tion When the examination pa-
pers are received at the State
Commission from the exam-
ination center, the control number
is stamped on the stub and on all
of the candidate’s answer pages.
The stub is then torn off and
placed in a sealed envelope and
filed in a locked file until the
rating of the examination has
been completed. The envelope
containing the stubs is then
opened and the candidate's papers
are identified by attaching the
stubs to the papers having the
same numbers as the stubs.
“The new system's chief advan-
tage is that candidates taking
civil service examinations have no
way of knowing their identifying
numbers. The system consequently
forestalls the possibility of a cai
didate's communicating his identi-
fying number to an examiner and
represents a constructive step in
protecting the civil service proce-
dure from even the suspicion of
such unfairness.
“The new plan furthermore, re-
quires fewer forms than were nec-
essary under the old system and
thus actually represents an econ-
omy in operation, as well as an
improvement in procedure."
Fear Veto of Pay-Increase Measure;
Plan $100 Bonus for Institution Workers
ALBANY — There is consider-
able speculation here whether
Governor Lehman will sign the
Hampton-Pillion bill with its $100
bonus for State institution em-
ployees plus its “cost of living”
pay increase for all State work-
ers getting under $2,000 a year.
The measure, which passed
both houses of the Legislature,
is now awaiting the Governor’s
action and thousands of State
ployees are anxiously wonder-
ing what he will do with it.
There have been hints emanat-
ing from the Governor's office
that may not go along with the
“cost of living” pay increase pro-
visions in the bill. The pay boost
would be based upon a 20 per cent
rise in living costs over the
1935-29 period and would be pay-
able beginning in June of next
year.
Representatives of the Associa-
tion of State Civil Service Em-
ployees are prepared to take
quick action if the Governor
shofild veto the Hampton-Pillion
bill. They plan to introduce a
new measure containing only the
$100 pay bonus for institution em-
ployees, effective July 1. 1
bonus, to be payable this year, is
preliminary to inclusion of all
the institution employees under
the Feld-Hamilton career act, be-
ginning July, 1943,
State civil service status of the
employees would not be affected
but under which they would be
paid from Federal funds, probably
on a reimbursement basis, the
State billing the Federal govern-
ment.
This is one of the most im-
portant of war-acts passed by the
1942 Legislature. It probably will
mean the saving of many State
jobs, particularly in the public
works department since personnel
to be taken over for Federal
projects have been laid off be-
cause of lack of capital expendi-
tures by the State,

To Discuss
Problems
ALBANY.—An important con-
ference to determine many civil
service questions affecting State
employees transferred to the Fed-
eral service will be conducted in
Albany, Tuesday, April 7. Partici-
pating 1n the conference are
Grace A. Reavy, chairman of the
State Civil Service Commission;
Richard Brockway, director of the
United States Employment Ser-
vice, and S, Park Harman, re-
gional representative of the So-
cial Security Board,
The conference, sought by the
Federal representatives, will in-
clude staff members of the State
Commission whose advice and
suggestions will be of yalue in
answering such questions as:
reconciling differences between
State and Federal regulations
governing war veterans and dis-
abled veterans under civil ser-
vice; the effect of the Federal
regulation prohibiting employ-
ment of two or more members of
the same family from the same
list; differences between Federal
and State regulations on promo-
tions, probation, efficiency rat-
ings, the Feld Hamilton incre-
Answer Papers
Didn't Arrive
So License Candidates
Wrote in the Margin
Candidates who took the mo-
tor vehicle license exam at Eras-
mus High School in New York
City had no answer papers in
which to record their brain-
waves. Let one candidate tell
you about it, then we'll give the
answer. Here's the candidate’s
version:
As a candidate for this job, how-
ever, I am concerned by something
a good dea! more serious about this
examination, and that is, that in-
Erasmus Hall High School where a
large number of candidates were
examined, no answer papers were
available, and we were required to
note out answers opposite, the
questions ON THE QUESTION
PAPER ITSELF. From that your
correspondent said in his letter, it
would seem that an equally large
Percentage of candidates did in fact
Teceive answer papers,-and that ac-
cordingly, some papers will be
raded by machine and others by
nd. How does this tally? And in
fairness to those candidates that
did not receive answer papers, I am
wondering what the Commission
roposes as a solution to this dif-
‘iculty. . JS
They Came, But Didn't Arrive
Checking into the matter of the
answer papers which weren't
there, The LEADER learned that
they had been shipped out in
plenty of time from Albany. The
American Railway Express
Agency brought the box of papers
to the city, presumably on the
Thursday before the day of the
exam. But for some reason the
papers just lay there Friday and
ments, and the Federal require-
ment for a physical test for
candidates.
It is hoped that the conference
will result in working out changes
in Federal regulations to protect
the rights, privileges, and accrued
advantages of the State's former
employees who have been trans-
ferred to Federal service.
Saturday, and weren't delivered
until the Monday following the
test.
It was the resourcefulness of
Nathaniel Schlamm, in the office
of the State Commission
Center Street, which
day. Mr. Schlamm had the alter-
native of sending the men home
which probably would have
meant that a new exam would
be necessary for the entire State
—or of devising’ some method
whereby the questions could be
answered without question books.
Mr. Schlamm fund a solution for
the emergency—the answers could
be written on the margin next to
the question itself. Mr. Schlamm
so ordered, and the exam went
through on schedule.
The only loss from now on is
time. If the original answer
booklets had come in on time, the
Papers could havé been marked
by machine. Now the examiners
of the State Commission will have
to grade them by hand,
10,000 Apply for
Interviewer Test
ALBANY.—Approximately 10,000
candidates have filed for the
April 18 tests, including open-
competitive, for interwiever, as-
sistant interviewer, and promotion
for assistant interviewer in the
State DPUI, it was announced
here by the State Civil Service
Commission. About 7,000 of the
candidates reside in New York
City.
The tests, which may also in-
clude some departmental promo-
tion examinations and possibly
another test for hospital attend-
ant, will be conducted in New
York beginning at 1 o'clock on
April 18, in the High School of
Commerce, the Julia Richman
High School, Seward Park High
School, and Washington-Irving
High School.
Notices probably will go out
soon to the candidates for hos-
pital attendant for the forthcom-
ing test. Applications are being
received all the time.

Brees Bill Signed;
KillsPayDifference
ALBANY.—The Brees bill, pros
hibiting differential pay tor pub-
lic employees entering the re-
serve forces of the Marine Corps
and the Navy, was signed by
Governor Lehman and became uf-
fective at midnight, Wednesday,
April 1. Men leaving public em-
ployment for duty in the reserve
forces after that time will not be
entitled to the differential be-
tween their military pay and
their pay as civil employe
Ynopposed in either house, the
bill went from the Legislature to
the Governor who permitted the
full constitutional 10 days to
elapse before acting upon it.
All public employees who were
in the Naval Reserve, the Or-
ganized Reserves, the Marine
Corps Reserve, or the State N:
tional Guard, now Federalized,
before the effective date of the
Brees law bill continue to
will
draw their public salary, less their
military or naval compensation.
The amount thus paid out by the
State to its employees in the
armed forces will aggregate near-
ly $1,000,000 a year, it was esti-
mated. City, county, town and
other local employees also wera
eligible. !
Although all public employees,
State and local, were given dif-
ferential pay, whether they en-
listed or were drafted, in the first
World War, it is doubtful that
a similar provision will be made
this time,
Hearing On New
Promotion Plan
A meeting of the State Civil
Service Commission is to be held
in New York City at 80 Centre
Street on Thursday and Friday,
April 9 and 10, The Commission
will give hearings on New Yori
City Commission’s resolution:
beginning at 1:30 p. m. on Thur:
day, in Room 500, in the State
Office Building
The N.Y.C. Civil Service Com-
mission had decreased the time-
requirement before one could take
a civil service exam to six months,
The State Commission called this
hearing before giving its OK.

Lift Dumbbells, Jump Hurdle, Chin Bar,
In Private Industry Become Subway Conductor or Trackman’
Conductor candidates: Can you
lift 60 pounds in each hand?
If you can’t, you’d better start
practicing now. All those who
pass the Conductor written test
April 25, will be required to lift
a 60-pound dumb-bell in each
hand in order to get a perfect,
mark on one part of the physical
test.
Besides the dumbbell
physical t
lift, the
t will consist of five
other parts: the abdominal
muscle lift, the agility test
(high jump), the pectoral squeeze,
the shoulder pull, and a bar-chin-
ning test.
In the abdominal muscle lift,
the candidate lays prone upon the
ground, and lifting a weight be-
hind his neck, raises himself to a
sitting position, His feet are hela
down by another candidate, The
lifting of a 50-pound weight gets
him 100 percent, a 20-pound
weight 55 percent,
4-Voot High Jump
A four-foot running high-jump
will give the prospective conduc-
tor a perfect score on the third
part of the test.
The fourth and fifth parts of
the exam are machine tests. In
the pectoral squeeze, the future
subway career man presses two
levers together, ‘The result of the
strength in his legs is recorded
on the machine, In the shoulder
pull, the candidate pulls apart two
levers on a machine and the re-
sult is similarly recorded,
If you can chin the bar
ten
times, you will get 100 percent on
this old-fashioned but essentially
true test of strength,
‘Trackman Test Similar
The trackman physical test fol-
lows a pattern similar to the con-
ductor exam, The last three parts
of the trackman test, the pectoral
squeeze, shoulder pull, and bar-
chin are the same as the con-
ductor test, The first three parts
are slightly different, The dumb-
bell lift and abdominal muscle
lift are tougher, but the agility
test is ea
Trackmen are required to lift
70 pounds in each hand in con-
trast to the 60 pounds for condue-
tor in order to get a perfect score.
An additional ten pounds is a!so
required for the abdominal muscle
lift in order to get 100 percent

shaft, to prevent upward spread,
Also place lines with streams to

have water started in sprinkler or
perforated pipes. Care should be
taken to prevent excessive pres-
sure in latter, If the elevator
shaft is of fire resistive con-
struction and enclosed, it should
be ventilated on top. If not en-
closed, great care should be ex-
ereised in venting, as fire may ex-

If there are no perforated pip

The Case
Against the Budget
BLL, the Mayor's budget is ready.
W In many ways, it is more than a budget. It is a
guide for the kind cf working life that the civil
employees of New York City will live during the coming
year. Jt is a budget made during a war year. And the
Mayor says it is a budget created to meet the require-
ments of war. He calls upon employees to accept sacri-
a period of war.
fices because this
y to use the war as an excuse for budget~
cutting. It has so been used on the national scene in an
endeavor to cut wages. On the other hand, it is easy to
forget the impact of war on the making of budgets, to
forget that the war imposes vast exactions from which
none of ts may escape.
It is very ea:
Budget Accomplishes Two Things
Mayor LaCuardia has done two things in his budget:
he has reorganized the city government to make it oper-
atc as smoothly as possible on a lower order of elfi-
ciency; and he has hit the civil employees a hard blow
in their endeavor to meet the living conditions of World
Wai I
To accomplish the first of these ends, he has elim-
inated the sorry practice of “details” in several city de~
partments—that is, the practice of providing “soft jobs”
for some employees, usually favored ones, This is to the
good, The practice of alloting details has frequently led
to discrim'natory treatment, to toadying, to lowered
morale, and has surely harmed efficiency.
hen, too, LaGuardia has cut ruthlessly into red
tape, paper work, and cumbersome procedures. There has
been set up a committee on the simplification of proced-
ures, Already months ago, the Budget Director had
pointed out ways in which such simplification might oc-
cur. This, also, is to the city’s good,
He has set up a central “pool” of employees, who
may be shifted where they are needed to meet sudden
emergencies. This is an imaginative venture, one which
may well aid the efficient running of government in time
of war,
War Comes to Employees, Too
But having done these things, the Mayor has for-
gotten that the War has come to the city’s employees
as it has come to the city, “I am unwilling to cut sal-
aries in view of increased living costs,” he says. But
the city’s employees have already taken salary cuts, be-
cause the cost of living has gone up, The Mayor
asks them to make a sacrifice which is being asked of
no other wage-earning group, He is requesting them
to absorb the shock of his budget while he has provided
cushions for the real estate interests. The Mayor calls
war budget, and that it is. But the war of his budget
equally upon the citizenry of New York City;
the civil employees are asked to accept less that the
real estate interests may have more. Throughout the
nation, workers in private industry are earning salaries
in line with the higher costs of all consumer goods. Are
the employees of New York City, then, asking too much
when they hold that there should be a decent minimum
wage, decent wage increases such as men and women
are receiving Is the Mayor properly dis-
tributing the burdens of war when he imposes upon city
workers threat of a payless furlough, when he provides
actual wage cuts for per diem employees, when
he slashes promotion opportunities to an all-time low
(thus further depressing the wage-level), when he calls
for the elimination of clerk, grade 1, jobs just because
he is so sorry for the workers who earn only $840 a
year? Is it a requirement of the war that the Mayor
shall cut vacations to two weeks, sick leave to 12 days,
at the same time that he order the employees to work
a 6-day week? At the same time that he grants ‘relief
to those who pay real estate taxes?
elsewhere?
The Financial Situation
The Mayor and the Budget Director have created
the impreesion that the current budget is one necessi-
tated by dire financial circumstances. Analyses made
by employee organizations have contested this point

does, I've never yet received a
satisfactory answer.” E. B,
“I should think that in self-pro-
tection the State Civil Service
Commission would release its
tests, Where something is hidden,
there is bound to be suspicion,
justified or not..." RS. 8.
“If we don’t like something
about an exam, how can we pro-
test, unleds we have copies to be
guided by. Certainly tests should
be published, As candidates we
have rights to fair treatment—
and that includes a chance to
voice our opinions about tests.’
ASG.
Shortage of
‘Teachers
At this time our Government
needs men with mechanical skills,
men who know how to do specific
work so that the building and
repairing of the materials of war
can go ahead at full speed, 'To
do this we are hiring men with
previous experience and training
others.
Now, the men who are training
others may know their subjects
and how to do their type of work,
but do they know how to teach
thelr jobs to beginners? We all
know that it is one thing to have
Knowledge and another to impart
that knowledge to others,
In America we have a great
number of teachers. So many, in
fact, that teachers training
schools have been closed for some
time to prevent the training of
any more,
Logically, teachers are the best
suited to impart skills and know!-
edge to others, They should be
doing this work which they have
been especially trained to™ de.
They can do it more effective
more quickly and more thorou,’
ly than non-teachers.
Of course, it will be pointed out
that teachers do not know the
subjects which need to be taught,
but the answer is obvious, Being
intelligent people used to the
ways of learning, they should be
taught and trained first. After
gaining the necessary knowledge
and accompanying skills, they in
turn will be able to teach ot
Hire teachers, teach them, and
then let them teach others.
8. SIMMONS.
Our first reaction to this sus
gestion is that it's not practi
You can't take an English
teacher and make him into a?
airplane mechanic or riveter just
because he happens to be a
lish teacher. Maybe he
hasn't got the mechanical ability:
The shortage of teachers in tie
mechanical trades is real, The

tu overcome it—Ed.

vigorously. They point to the fact that the Mayor has
not reached his constitutional tax limit, and that there
remains a difference of $22,000,000 between his proposed
budget and the constitutional tax limit. They point to
the accumulated moneys which lie in the city’s coffers
in the form of accruals,
The Mayor has provided some raises, It was incon-
ceivable that it should be otherwise; but in those raises
—$1.25 a week for employees earning jess than $1,C00 a
year—need cause little pride. For the employees receiv-
ing them, in this year of war, are still below a level of
income approaching “subsistence.” The work that these
employees perform is precious, yet they would probably
leave the city's employment in droves had not this little
been provided. Even so, it may be expected that vacan-
cies in these levels, and in higher ones, too, will rise
The city can't have its employees and eat them, too.
The morale of city employees isn’t high—they have
been hit too hard. They will fight back, April 16 is the
day when the Board of Estimate meets to consider th¢
protests of those who don't like the budget. Employe¢®
are even now preparing their case: they have an excellent
one. It will call for a quick demise to the threat of 2.102
layoffs in addition to 3,500 existing vacancies; it wi!!
call for a proper salary minimum and wage adjustmen'®
upward; it will call for an equalization of war burden’
Civil service employees will work and sweat and {ight
to win this war. But they will not be “fall guys” for *
“budgetary situation.” Their case is strong. New Y°"
City must help them it.

PART III’ TRANSPORTATION
The Eighteenth of a Series of Articles on Proper
Preparation for Civil Service Examinations
[By Gertrude B, Slavin, B.S., M.A, and Alvin Slavin, B.A., M.A.)
Among the “office subjects" to be considered for review by civil
service candidates are the rules and regulations and practices concern-
ing transportation ot goods, mail, and persons, Below you will find a
digest of the most important rules and practices of transportation that
every civil service candidate should be thoroughly familiar with
I, TRANSPORTATION OF GOODS
A. Shipping via Express: A convenient door-to-door service of
pick-up and delivery of packages, is the shipping of goods by express
companies, These express companies utilize railroads, steamship lines,
motor trucks, and aircraft for transporting goods. Such shipments
are not limited in size or weight.
B. Shipping via Freight: Heavy cargo for long-distance transpor-
tation utliizes freight shipping. Freight trains, freight boats, tank
cars, box cars, are some of the means of transporting heavy freight
like cattle, lumber, machinery, wheat, ete.
Here are some practices involyed in the use of either or both of the
abcye means of shipping:
1. Packing Slips: In the shipping of goods by express or freight
a packing slip should be enclosed. ‘This slip is an itemized listing of
the articles contained in the shipment, A duplicate of the packing slip
is usually sent by mail to the receiver,
2, Marking: Packaged goods or goods shipped in barrels or crates
or bags usually ave marked with shipping instructions. Tags or a
stenciled print is indicated on the shipment showing the name and
address of the shipper, the name and address of the consignee, the
type of merchandise, the weight, and whether the charges are C,O.D.,
pre-paid, or collect.
3. F.0.B.: “Free on Board’ is a term used in shipping goods by
freight where the purchaser pays the freight charges from the point

Detroit, your cost would be the original cost of the car plus the freight
charges from Detroit to your home. F.O.B, may precede such terms

city. ——
4. B/L: “Bill of Lading’’ is a shipping document that contains
the agreement between the shipper and the freight company. It con-
sists of three copies, an original, which is signed by the freight agent
and is usually mailed by the shipper to the purchaser; a second copy,
called the shipping order, signed by the shipper, and retained by the
freight agent; the third copy, called the memorandum, signed by the
freight ugent, and issued to the shipper as his receipt.
I. TRANSPORTATION OF MAIL
A. First-Class Mail: Letters, post cards, packages containing ty}
written material, are first-class mail. The rate for first-class mail is
three cents per ounce or a fraction of an ounce, except that post cards
are rated at one cent each.
B, Second-Class Mail: Second-class mail includes newspapers and |
magazines.
The rate for second-class mail is one cent for each two |
All mail under 8 ounces in weight which is
or second-class mail, is third-class mail. This |
buibs, root, or plants and are charged at the
rate of one cent for each two ounces, The rate for other third-class
mail is one and one-half cents for each two ounces,
D. Fourth-Class Mail: ‘This class, more commonly known as "par-
cel post’ includes all mail weighing more than 8 ounces, except first
and second-class mail. The rate of parcel post is determined by the
weight of the parcel and the distance to which it is mailed, Distances
are classified by zones and the rate differs according to the zone areas.
First-class mail, like a letter, may be attached to the package with
the correct amount of first-class postage for separate mailing.
E, Air Mail; ‘The rate for air mail is six cents per ounce.
¥F. Special Delivery: Mail or any class may be sent by special
ry. This means that a special messenger delivers the item as
soon as it is received at the office of destination, ‘The fees for special
delivery mail is ten cents for the first two pounds for first-class mail,
fifteen cents for the first two pounds for all other classes of mail, with
increased rates governed by the weight of the item,
G, Special Handling Service: Parcel post may be sent with a
special handling service which insures quicker transportation than
that of ordinary: parcel post. The fee varies with the weight of the
package.
H. Registered Mail: Letters or packages of value should be sent
by registered mail. For this service a special registration fee, the rate
of which depends on the evaluation of the letter or package, is im-
posed in addition to the regular postage. The sender is given a receipt
with this service and py the payment of an additional thvee-cent charge
a return receipt with the signature of the receiver will be mailed to
the sender,
1, Insured Mail; ‘Third and fourth-class mail may be insured against
damage or loss for-a smell fee,
©.0.D, Mail: Packages may be sent C.0,D, (Collect on Deliv-
ery). The carrier will deliver the package, collect the money due, and
return a postal money order to the sender, In addition to the regular
postage charge, the rate depends upon the sum of the collection.
Note: For detailed information concerning transportation by mail,
consult the “U, 8. Official Postal Guide," issued by the Post Office
Department.

paGuardia’s Budget
scribes that every skilled laborer
shall receive from the City the
same rate of wage as that which
prevails in outside employment
for like titles, With the present
demand for skilled mechanics the
prevailing rate of wages is likely
to rise, I cannot blame any in-
dividual for seeking that to which
he is entitled under the law. But
in seeking that increased wage
he must realize that the funds
available to the City of New York
for the payment of its employees
are limited and that the amount
presently appropriated for each
title is all that can be made avail-
able. Therefore, as wages of in-
dividuals go up, the number of
individuals employed or the num-
ber of days for which they can
be employed must go down.
In discussing prevailing rates I
call attention to other factors
which should be taken into con-
sideration, Where the City of-
fers work on a permanent basis
it seems to me that the factors of
permanent work, security of the
job, vacations, sick leave and pen-
sion rights which flow from an
annual wage cannot be ignored,
I have consistently maintained,
though I know that many labor
leader's are not in accord, that an
annual wage with the certainty of
the monthly check at home and
all the rights and privileges which
go with civil service employment
means a great deal more to the lu-
dividual and his family than a
high hourly rate with a low an-
nual income and its uncertainty.

skilled workers will be unanimous
in seeking a just annual wage.
The City is confidently making
that offer to all of the trades now
under prevailing rates but dis-
satisfied with conditions. It is
impossible to employ men at $16
a day or $14 a day unless there
is specific work of the particular
trade to be done, and then it must
necessarily be limited to available
funds and to the work actually re-
quiring the high degree of skill
for which the wage is paid.
Filling Jobs
By Transfer
No vacancies are to be filled
during the year except by trans-
fer of employees presently on the
rolls, except in a case where spe-
cialized training or skill is re-
quired, and a person with that
training or skill is not available
for transfer, This rule is made
not only in the interests of econ-
omy but in the interests of the
city employees themselves, In the
course of the reorganization
studies which are proposed
shall find employees whose serv-
ices are no longer needed for the
duties which they now perform,
and I want these other vacancies
available go that these surplus em
ployees may be transferred to
them, and so that it will be un-
necessary next year to drop any
more employees for lack of a
place to put them. Sometimes
this transfer will involve so-called
“out-of-title’ work, but I know
the Civil Service Commission will
give me every cooperation in pro-
tecting the jobs of present em-
ployees.
Central Pool of
Employees
The terms and conditions of the
budget provide for the establish-
ment of a central pool of em-
ployees found no longer to be
needed in their present jobs and
available for transfer to other
jobs. Freunily, this is not a bud-
getary but a bookkeeping con-
venience, The employees could
be transferred directly from one
department to another if it were
not for the size of the problem
in New York City. The central
pool is merely a convenient device
for recording their availability
It has no effect on their civil
service salary, rights or status,
Possibility of
Payless Furlough
In the attempt to displace as
few present employees of the City
as possible, we have relied heavily
on the accumulation of accruals
of departments in the coming
year. I believe there is no de-
partment which cannot realize the
accruals deducted from its appro-
priation but on the other hand
none of them will be left in lux-
ury or leisure if the accruals are
to be realized. The terms and
conditions provide that if accruals
are not realized the employees
may be required to take a payless
furlough at the end of the ye

dition need

Take An Exam

a fire lieutenant list, would be ex-
amples of a promotion list. Only
employees already working for
the city are permitted Be) take
Promotion tests.
The third and most prevalent
type of a civil service eligible list
is the open-competitive list, which
is established as a result of ex-
aminations for which anyone who
meets the requirements may com-
pete. The fireman list is an ex-
ample of an open-competitive eli-
t. So are the sanitation
the porter list, the hos-
per list, the various main-
ainer's helper lists or any other
appearing in our column
“You're Chances For Appoint-
ment.
When Mr. Tighe is asked to cer-
tify names to a department to fill
vacancies, he first looks to see if
there is a preferred list for the
title. Under the law, names on a
ferred list must always be cer-
tified before names on a promo-
tion list or open-competitive list.
If, as in the case of the Fire De-
rtment mentioned above, there
is no preferred list in existence,
he next looks to see if there is a
promotion list for the position. As
the job of a fireman is the en-
tering position in the Fire De-
partment, there is obviously no
promotion list. Then, the director
of the certification bureau selects
the open-competitive list for the
titlé and forwards names of eli-
gibles in the order of their stand-
ing on this list.
How Eligibles Are Notified
Eligibles are not informed by
the Civil Service Commission
when they are certified to a de-
partment for employment. A few
days after the certification is
made, the appointing officer will
canvass the names of the eligibles
certified to him by the Civil Serv-
ice Commission, He will tell them
that their names have been cer-
tified to him by the Civil Service
Commission for a certain job at
a specific salary. He lets them
know that they are permitted to
decline the.offers for certain rea-
sons. Sometimes the appointing
officer gets all the employees he
needs before he canvasses all the
names certified. The remaining
names are returned to the Civil
Service Commission.
Reasons for declining an offer
of appointment are cited in the

GAS EXTRACTIONS
letter the eligible receives trom
the department to which his name
has been certified by the Civil
Service Commission. Ordinarily,
these reasons are: (1) Insuffi-
cient compensation: An eligible is
offered a job at a lower salary
than was advertised when he took
his test; (2) location; (3) tempo-
rary nature of employment: An
eligible may decline a temporary
job and still remain on the list
for a permanent job; (4) objec-
tionable nature of the work: An
eligible on a clerk list might be
offered a job in a hospital
morgue, for instance; (5) tempo-
rary inability to accept: The eli-
gible may be ill or unable to ac-
cept appointment at the time be-
cause of a personal reason. The
reason must be acceptable to the
Commission.
When an eligible who is in mili-
tary service is reached for certi-
fication, his name is passed over.
However, upon his return to civil-
ian list, his name is placed on a
special military list for a period
of one year. He is then entitled
to be certified to any vacancy
which might come up in that year
for which he was passed over be-
cause of his service in the armed
forces. If he is on the fireman
list, for example, and his name
had been reached for the Fire
Department while he was in the
army, he will be placed on a spe-
cial list for the Fire Department
for a period of one year. If, how-
ever, he had been far down on
the list and his name had not
been reached for the position of
fireman, but had been reached for
such appropriate jobs as special
patrolman in the Board of Trans-
portation or correction officer in
the Department of Correction, he
will be placed on a special list for
these positions for one year.
He will not be placed on a
special fireman list after the list
has expired unless his name
would have actually been reached
while he was in the army,

. Hi Hf they had been appointed when
Kern-LaGuardia Bill Aims to Solve oiivinay reached ee the us ©6Calls for Protest
Last week, Paul J. Kern, de Police Draft Mess Kaplan Fayors Proposed
posed president of the NYC Civil
Service Commission, brought up
his big guns in his fight against
Mayor LaGuardia. Into the Su-
preme Court, New York County,
went a 4%-page, well-printed book:
let, nine pages of which were de-
voted to exhibits. These exhibits,
Kern argues, reveal ‘that La-
Guardia was no friend of civil
service.””
Among the charges:
“the Commission cannot as a
matter of law be legally charged
with insubordination by the city
executive."”
“., the Commission is intended
by law to be free from city execu
tive interference and domina-
tion ae :
“...the defendant (LaGuardia)
repeatedly attempted to set aside
its (the Commission's) deci-
sions. . -
S, Stanley Kreutzer, attorney
for Paul J. Kern and his deposed
colleague, Wallace S, Sayre, states
further that the manner in which
the Mayor conducted the trial of
Kern was improper, particularly
since—although this was to have
been a public hearing—"the gen-
eneral public was refused admis-
sion.”
By the time The LEADER was
going to press, no statement was
forthcoming from the Mayor's
office or from the office of Cor-
poration Counsel Chanler.

Held up month after month,
the test for patrolman in the
New York City service this week
appeared definitely assured for
May announcement.
The assurance came first,
through official announcement
by the Civil Service Commission,
and second, through legislative
action in Albany. This action
follows closely the proposal as
outlined in an exclusive LEAD-
ER article in the issue of March
24. The legislation, introduced
by Senator Halpern, chairman of
the Senate Civil Service Com-
mittee, is designed to meet the
problem of the draft.
State Senator Halpern told The
LEADER this week that he was
introducing the legislation at the
request of the New York City ad-
ministration in an attempt to
meet the diffic::lty caused by the
pending draft inductions of can-
didates for Police Department
appointments, He stated that the
bill had been framed to protect
the eligibility of candidates,
Could Hold Up Appointments
Under the Halpern measure, the
Civil Service Commission would
be able to make appointments
from its list of those men who,
because of dependencies or other
reasons, are exempt from im-
mediate induction, and, at the
same time, would be able to re-
tain on the list the men about
to be inducted when their ap-
pointments to the Police Depart-
ment becomes imminent,
“Under my proposal,” Senator
Halpern stated further, “when a
I-A eligible is reached for ap-
pointment and there is a reason-
uble chance of his being called to
service within a very short pe-
riod, then it would be possible to
defer his appointment until after
his return from Service,
The Senator explained that he
is considering an amendment to
the measure to eliminate the pro-
bationary period for men return-
ing from the War, on the theory
that their work as soldiers
has given them experience and
proven their fitness. Upon return
from Service, these men would be
taken on without further exam-
ination except medical, to ascer-
tain if they are in a position to
perform the duties of the job.
A further amendment is con-
templated by Senator Halpern to
give “seniority credit to men
whose appointments had been
held up until after discharge
from military service, crediting
them with seniority for the en-
tire time spent in military serv-
ice on the same basis as though
H, Eliot Kaplan, executive «
retary of the Civil Service Re-
form Association, stated his view
of the new legislation as follow:
“I am sympathetic with the ad-
ministration's desire to give the
men on the list who may be called
to seryice every possible consid-
eration. These men who pass the
patrolman test and are then in-
ducted into service deserve every
possible protection, However, they
must think of the practical prob-
lem of the city. There would be
no point in taking young men out
of regular jobs, and training
them for police jobs if they
couldn't take those jobs, It would
seem the height of wisdom to de-
fer their service with the Police
Department, but to make certain
that they could be available for
service upon their return to civil-
fan life. I feel that the proposal
to give these men the same seni-
ority as though they were acti
ally on the job is especially good.
