Back Mitchell Bill
Governor Dewey last week
authorized the Civil Service
LEADER to make public his
support of the Mitchell vet
preference bill, The LEADER
released the story to the daily
newspapers of the State for
last Friday, February 18.
Previously, Paul E. Fitzpa-
trick, chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Committee, had in-
formed The LEADER that he
is “100 per cent” committed
to the Mitchell bill.
By MAXWELL LEHMAN
Governor Thomas E. Dewey has
thrown his unqualified support to
the Mitchell veteran preference
bill now before the State Legis-
lature.
In an exclusive statement to the
publisher and the editor of the
Civil Service LEADER, Governor
Dewey declared:
“I’m for the Mitchell bill, It's
fair. It’s necessary, I've told that
to every member of the Legisla-
ture who has asked me about it.”

“Section 2, Chapters. A chapter
may be formed by members in the

in any region containing one or
more counties, or in any city with
a population of 200,000 or more,
upon the approval by the board
of directors of the constitution
and by-laws of such chapter; pro-
vided, however, that no chapter

What the Condon Bill Does
The Condon bill provides ab-
solute preference to disabled vet-
erans and temporary preference
to non-disabled veterans. Under
its provisions (a) all disabled
veterans go to the top of the list
upon passing a civil service test,
both for appointment and pro~
motion; (b) Until December 31,
1951, non-disabled veterans fol-
low all disabled veterans on civil
service job lists; (c) between De-
cember 31, 1951, and December
31, 1955, non-disabled veterans
would get preference on entrance
examinations — after disabled
veterans — but not on promotion;
(a) after 1955, preference for non-
disabled veterans would be dis-
continued altogether.
The People Want Mitchell
Action by Governor Dewey and
the Democratic State Committee
followed after surveys had shown
that those most directly affected,
civil service employees and vet-
erans, overwhelmingly favor the
Mitchell bill. Civil service or-
ganizations and groups of non-
disabled veterans pointed out that
while this bill gives a substantial
advantage to disabled veterans,
it does not bar non-disabled vet-
erans and non-veterans from an
opportunity to enter and rise in
public service,
23 to 1 for Mitchell
A survey of its readers in all
parts of the State by the Civil
Service LEADER showed them in
favor of the Mitchell bill by a
margin of 23 to 1.

Opposition to the use of skeleton

‘The chapter described the Sat-

“needless” and petitioned the
Association to redouble its efforts
to bring about closing the offices.

44 to 1 in favor of the Mit-
chell bill.
The Uniformed Firemen’s As-
sociation balloted its members and
found them 13 to 1 in favor of
the Mitchell bill.
Nineteen civic organizations, and
nearly all groups of civil service
employees, lined up solidly behind
the Mitchell bill. The Civil Ser-
vice Employees Association, rep-
resenting 46,000 State and local] G,
workers, and the Uniformed Fire-
men’s Association in New York
City have been especially active in
seeking passage of the Mitchell
bill, arguing that civil service
would be wrecked if the Condon
measure were passed. The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, State-
wide, also went on record for the
Mitchell bill, as did the Jewish
War Veterans and the American
Veterans Committee.
Legion Rift
The Condon bill, which had
been sponsored by the Amevican
Legion, caused an enormous rift
in that organization, with several
of its civil service posts endorsing
the Mitchell bill instead. Finally,
the Legion set up a subcommittee
to study the vet preference ques-
tion. The committee, consisting of
six prominent legionnaires, issued
a report in which the five mem-
bers urged acceptance of the Mit-
chell bill, However, the Legion’s
executive board repudiated the
report of its own committee, Post
930, largest Legion unit, thereupon
publicly protested the action of

Senator MacNeil Mitchell, New
York City Republican, has been
ardently working to obtain the
passage of his bill, and is seek-
ing now to bring it out of com-
mittee,
The Albany Democratic dele-
gation to the Legislature formally
announced its united support of
the Mitchell bill. State Assembly-
man George W. Foy, speaking for
the group, declared: “I intend to
support the Mitchell amendment
because I believe it is clearly the
better of the two proposals, It
provides for more equitable prefer
ence for veterans, and eliminates
the present unfair discrimination
between veterans and disabled vet-
erans, Its adoption would end for
all time the constantly recurring
controversy concerning veteran
preference in civil service.” The
Albany delegation includes State
Senator Peter J. Dallesandro, a
Congressional Medal of Honor
winner,
Assemblyman Irwin Steingut,
minority leader, told a delegation
of civil servants and veterans the
Democratic Party in both houses
of the Legislature would “go down
the line for the bill without any
compromise and without delay.”
And aides of Governor Dewey have
been working quietly talking up
the merits of the Mitchell bill to
Senators and Assemblymen on
their side of the Legislature.

THE ASSOCIATION'S ANNUAL DINNER, FEB, 24, 1949
NCE A YEAR during the Legislative Session, The Civil
Service Employees Association has the honor of en-
tertaining and of paying our respects to our top bosses, the
overnor, his team, the Legislature, the Judiciary and the
heads of State. This year the dinner is part of the ceremony
dedicating the new home of the Association to the service
of the State.
By long tradition, the breaking of bread together is
a symbol of friendship and unity. For us in the Association,
this dinner is a recognition of a certain community of ser-
vice, a common dedication to
the welfare of the citizens of
the State on the part of all public employees and public
officials, high and low,
There are some labor and employee organizations that
operate on the principle that management and the employ-
ees are necessarily enemies, that the war of the classes, the
struggle for power, admits of no truce or amenities.
Our Association is dedicated not to war but to peace
through conferences and conciliations. We hold that fair-
minded men can sit down as
equals around the conference
table and reach agreement or compromise fairer than any
that can be won by conflict or by strikes. As men of good-
will, employees and high executives can discuss difficult
problems fully and fairly, iron out differences and arrive at
just and fair conclusions or agreements,
We owe much to the present administration, but to my
mind the greatest is the advance in dealing openly with our
employee Association, We are neither a company union nor
a republican front.. We represent solely our members and
we strive to establish sound methods and procedures of
solving difficult problems.
We hope, we trust
and we even expect that this policy
of open diplomacy with agreements freely and openly ar-
rived at, will prev:
il through the years as long a
the As-
sociation is worthy of the trust and confidence of its mem-
bers, of the people and of the Administration,
WwW
even
propose and urge that this method be firmly established by
executive order of the Governor; and after-a period of
testing and improvement be made an essential part of the
law of the State of New York, as provided in the Public
Employees Labor Relations
Bill, introduced by Senator
Thomas C. Desmond and Assemblyman George W. Foy.

St. Lawrence Employees Act
On Mileage Rates, Highway Pay
OGDENSBURG, Feb, 21— The}
salary of Ogdensburg Highway
Department employees must go
upward,
This is the contention of Philip
L. White, president of the St,
Lawrence County chapter, Civil
Service Employees Association, in
a plea to the Common Council.
In another action, the chapter
petitioned the County Board of
Supervisors for an immediate in-
crease to ten cents a mile in the
travel remuneration allowed coun-
ty employees and officials who use
their own automobiles in pursuit
of county business.
Why They Should Get Increase
Speaking to the Ogdensburg
Council, Mr, White said:
“We feel that, due to their not
being covered by unemployment
them not being members of the
Retirement System, they should
be entitled to consideration for
an increase, especially in view of
the precarious position of their
families in the event of death or
disability.”
He added that there were ap-
proximately 15 steadily employed
people in the Highway Depart-
ment and urged prompt action on
their behalf. “These employees,”
he said, “are the forgotten men
in the City. They deserve con-
sideration.” They have received
no increases to date, he pointed
out.
In the letter on mileage allow-
ance, Mr, White made it clear that
the Association chapter wants the
increase granted to all employees
and officials, whether elected or
insurance, and the majority of) appointed,

Orange County
‘The Orange County Chapter,
County Division of The Civil Ser-
vice Employees Association, pre-
sented a pay increase resolution
to the regular meeting of the
Board of Supervisors.
“Orange County employees had
not been granted the requested
cost-of-living bonus of $300, but
only $150. The additional $150 is
now sought, Also, inclusion was
asked for the employees of the
County Superintendent of High-
ways and the Commissioner of
Public Welfare, whose annual
compensation exceeds $1,200. They
were not included previously. |
The amendment would take
effect March 1, 1949. |
In support of the resolution
Charles R. Culyer, field represen-
tative of the Association, called
attention to the position of the
Orange County employees who!
have received only token recogni-
tion of the present-day cost of|
living. He made comparisons and|
quoted records showing the poor

gave an interesting talk on the
necessity of full co-operation with
The Civil Service Employees As-

objective of the M.HA.. is to pro-|
mote in general the interest of
all Mental Hygiene employees and
to utilize representation on the

William F, McDonough, execu-
tive representative of The Civil
Service Employees Association,
gave a very informative talk on
the Association’s program with
the legislative and executive de-
partments, dealing at length with
the liberalization of the Retire-
ment Law and pay of State work-
ers. He assured his listeners the
Association was on the job and
would continue the fight in be-
half of the public employee.

Predictions Made
For County Workers
(Continued Jrom Page 1)
1. Transfer of local health ser-
vices to the counties is coming.
In addition,
2. County library systems, now
being instituted in several coun-
ties, will spread. =
3. There is the possibility of
counties sponsoring community
colleges under the State Univer-
sity system.
4. A revision of the bases for
municipal debt limit so that the
bases will take into consideration
revenues other than real estate
taxes is in the cards. This he
stressed. Such a development could
have a favorable effort on em-
ployee salaries.
5. Legislation creating a “re-
asonably uniform county budget
system” will not be passed this
year, but will continue under
study for presentation next year.
This is part of the reform picture
of county government.

Positive and strict veracity is so
difficult, But danger is the in-
separable companion of honor,
With all the temptations and
degradations that beset it, politics
is still the noblest career any man
can choose.”
The 10 Rules
The astute Farley then gave his
own rules — 10 of them — for
the making of a successful poli-~
tician,
He must have a good per-
sonality,
A primary requisite of the poli-
tician is that he must attract
Beene The wishy-washy, the for-
idding, the unsparkling character
cannot get far in politics. Al
Smith's smile captivated people,
and they loved him, Franklin
Roosevelt's charm was legendary,
and he had the ability to disarm
almost anyone with his smooth-
ness. Even Fiorello LaGuardia,
in a different way, had a vibrance
that got under the skin of people
jane made them admire and like
'm,
He must have what we call
'e “character’—that is, he must
be a substantial human being,
Only a man who can impress ris
constituents with his character
can continue to build up confi-
dence. And he can sometimes do
this even when certain other qual-
ities are lacking. Senator Robert
A. Taft is an example.
3 He must work hard,

Things don’t just happen, The
successful politician works hard
at his tasks, makes sure that he
has left no job undone. Sometimes
the job is understanding and fight.
ing for a tough piece of legisla
tion; other times it is doing small
favors for little people, Politics
is a field in which idlers cannot
Jast, long.
He must be able to get other
people to work for him and
with him.
The best politicians build up
corps of aides who will go through
hell for them. Governor Dewey's
team has stuck with him since
he first entered government, and
so strong is its loyalty that not
even successive defeats have alien-
ated its members from him, Poli-
ticians who haven't this particular
quality may go a certain distance,
but rarely very far,
5 He must be truthful,
Jim Farley places this charac!
eristic high among the qualities
needed by a successful politician,
The politician who says one thing
to one man, and an opposite thing
to another, the office-holder whose
word cannot be relied on, the poli-
tical leader who tries to gain his
ends by other than honest means—
these types create resentments
which fester long and rarely heal,
Big Jim admits that some un-
truthful men have gone far in
politics, but they are the excep-
tional personalities whose other
characteristics are so outstanding
as bo overcome completely this
defect,
He must have native ability,
‘e and he must be able to see
and use ability in others,
Hacks and even nincompoops
are common in politics. They get
there because they have done
the party chores or know how to
take orders from their stronger
sponsors, But such men cannot
be classified as successful politi-
cians, The successful practitioner
must be a man of ideas, must
have the intelligence to meet new
and unique situations, must be
able to direct his subordinates so
as to get the best out of them.
He must be aggressive—but
+ not to the point of being
offensive,
This requires intuition, The
good politician will know just
how far he can go in attack be-
fore it boomerangs. Like the sales-
man, he knows intuitively if his
story is getting across. Shyness
is death to a politician,
He must have a feeling for
what people want.
Politician must be able to
“sense” a situation, like a doctor
administering to a patient or a
reporter sniffing after a news
story, LaGuardia was an example
of this quality. He knew how to
capitalize on the housewife's
needs, how to scream at corrup-
ton effectively, FDR had it, too,
dn great measure,
He must be able to make
© decisions,
Truman turned things his way
at the Democratic Presidential
convention when he took the
floor late at night after his nom-
ination, when the party seemed at,
Jow ebb, and made a fighting
speech which set his course. From
then on, with solid resolve, he
was able to speak clearly and de-
cisively. The ability to make de-
cisions is one of the most im-
portant in politics, because events
won't wait for him who can't
make up his mind.
if He must understand the
e meaning of the word
“compromise.”
Never compromise a principle,
say Big Jim, but in politics one
advances one’s principles often by
accepting less than one had tried
to get, and then moving forward
from there. But compromise is
@ delicate thing — “an individual
has to live with himself,” says
Big Jim. And if the compromise
means one isn’t going to be able
to sleep nights as a result—then
don't do it, he advises,
General Principles
The man who steered FDR's
political course through two presi-
dential elections talked about
some of the general principles
he had learned during his long
career in politics.
“People go into politics for lots
of reasons,” he ruminated. “Some
of the best do it not for business
or for personal adayncement, but
because they like it. Some like
baseball, some like coctkail par-
ties, some like politics — call it
a hobby...
“One of the great attributes of
politics is showmanship. The pol-
itician who has showmanship can
get away with a lack of many
other qualities...
“Examples of successful politi-
cians are Al Smith, Jimmy Walker,
Franklin D. Roosevelt. All of them
were sympathetic to the underdog,
all of them had personal charm,
“Smith was a great story-teller,
extremely approachable, gave
people a feeling of confidence,
created the impression he was
their friend,
“Jimmy Walker, too, was a great.
story-teller. Moreover, he had
what few people realize he had—
a great mind. He could hear a
case, grasp the core of it, and
then present the points better than
the man who was expounding it.
Jimmy's weaknesses were in othe
| directions.”
And Don't Repeat This adds
that Jim Farley himself is an ex-
ample of the good politician,
Here are some of his secrets: He
keeps everything completely or-
ganized, so that he is able to
make the most effective use of
his time; he answers every letter;
never neglects an appointment,
and always keeps it on time; re-
mains available to as many people
as he can; never acts “uppity”; al-
ways tells the truth, and tells it
straight — this is an important
principle with him,
Truth in Politics
Jim Farley's ideas on the im-
portance of truth in politics:
“The man who does not tell
the truth is distrusted and
shunned, and rightfully so. There
are those whose first instinct is
not, to tell the truth even when it
best serves their own purposes,
just as there are those in whom
the dog of ambition is pursued by
a rabbit of conscience,
by far the easier as
more respected course

Physicals
By H. J, BERNARD
The NYC Civil Service Com-
mission moved fast to hold the
examination for Sanitation Man,
Ch », Latest developments:
The period for the receipt of
applications will open on
Wednesday, March 9, and close
on Thursday, March 24, The pre-
viously announced dates were
March 15 to 30,
The medical and physical rules
«for the examination were
officially adopted by the Commis-
sion. They eliminate the maze,
or so-called rat-race, and sub-
stitute a standing broad jump
for the agility test. (See P. 8),
The Rive test will be held
'* indoors stead of in Van
Cortlandt Pa te ‘he change in the
physical test, whereby no running
course with ‘obstacles is required,
makes this possible. There is no
appropriation for using an out-
door event.

cided to receive applications

The jobs to be filled are ex-
renin to number 3,000 during the
i life. There are no provi-
sionals in the title now, therefore
quick appointments will be offered
to those high on the list, veteran
preference considered.
The pay is nearly $60 a week.
Quick Rating, Says McNamara
The changes in the nature of
the examination confirm the fore-
cast made in The LEADER that
the physical test. would be easier.
Samuel H. Galston, director of
examinations, will advise whether
the written t ould be harder.
he last written test for Sanita-
tion Man, held May 3, 1947, in
which 70 per cent was the pass
mark, was a pushover, hardly more
than a literacy test.
‘The written papers will not take
any longer to rate, id President
Joseph McNamara,
The written test will be given
in the third or fourth week in
May, date not yet decided, and
rating completed in a month.
That would permit physicals to
be held in July, These, too, would

graduations for unfinished per-
formance at whistle time, to zero
for reaching only the six-foot wall.
20,000 Candidates Expected
Paul M. Brennan, director of
‘the Commission's Medical-Physical
Bureau, said that the new rules
enable the Commission to handle
large numbers of candidates ex-
peditiously,
It is expected that about 20,000
will apply.
“We could hold the physicals
indoors, in any large room,” he
said, “and could even hold them
here.”
The present indication is that
they would be held “here,” mean-
ing at 299 Broadway, NYC. That
is the Broadway entrance to the
building in which the Civil Service
Commission has quarters also on
Duane Street.
Mr. Brennan expected that_the
medicals could be held in Sep-
tembr Therefore the list could
be out by the end of the year.
The present eligible list is nearly
exhausted.
The timing of the physicals for
July also facilitates obtaining
enough physical examiners. Twelve
would be needed in a working day
—six for the day session, six for
the evening session, Medicals
would require six doctors—three
for the afternoon—three for the
evening.
Hours would be from 7:30 am.
to 9:30 p.m. for both.
“A great many candidates don’
practice for the physical tests,”
warned Mr, Brennan, “They
should, especially as the score will
depend solely on the physical
» advised all prospective can-
didates to study the rules for the
physicals.
‘The March 9 to 24 period will
be kept exclusively for the Sani-
tation Man applications,
Powell Wins
The change in the physical
test went through smoothly, but
Mr. Galston favored having the
written test stiffer and competi-
tive, with percentage
Sanitation Commiss
J. Powell opposed this, saying that
emphasis on the physical test at-
tracted the type of men needed.
The Commission debated the sub-
ject, thought well of Mr, Galston'
proposal, but yielded to Mr. Pow-
ell insistence, as he was the
one who would have to face the
problem of getting men who stick,
and his proposal in no way re-
duced recruitment possibilities.
The Commission has a large
number of license examinations in
which applications will be re-
ceived late in March. That was
the main reason for advancing
the date,
A study book entitled “Sanita-
tion Man,” ideal as preparation
for this examination, is obtainable
at The LEADER Bookstore, 97
Duane Street, NYC, two blocks
north of Hall, just west of
Broadway and opposite the NYC
Civil Service Commission’s appli-
cation bureau, where Sanitation

A request from Health Com-

a minimum of six months’ ex-

ground that filling of all vacan-

vestigation of its own, ascertain-
ing that there are only 6,500 per-
sons in the whole United States

town, there would be small likeli-
hood of the NYC offer, at pay
sometimes Jess than what they
now get, attracting many of the
out-of-town Public Health Nurses
if the experience requirement
were imposed.

other branches of the Federal/drop, In bad times, the Wage
service. Board plan could prove disastrous
‘The Hoover Commission recom-
mends that the Wage Boards
should establish pay schedules,
within limitations, on the basis of
the cost of living in the locality
in which the employee works. The
theory is that the real wages for
the same work thus become equal-
ized, whereas at present those who
live in small communities can buy
more for the same quantity of
dollars.
View Plan With Caution
The experience of the per diem
workers in government with Wage
Board control has been mixed,
though increases were granted
arlier by Wage Boards than by
‘ongress, and came closer to the
aises provided in private indus-
tr: Other Federal raises have
lagged considerably behind both
the increase in the cost of living
and the average increase in the
nine leading industries.
The Hoover Commission plan is
regarded by some employee or-
leaders,
The idea of wages geared to
prices generally is not opposed, as
it is the same principle on which
raises have been obtained through
Congress, though they were insuf-
ficient. However, the drive now
for $660 more is expected to pro-
duce results that will partly
|remedy the past deficiency.

UNAPOC Fears
Favoritism In
Hoover Plan
William C. Ambrust, Leet
of the United National Associ
tion of Post Office Clerk Join joined
with Luther C. Steward, president
of the National Federation of
Federal Employees, in expressing
fear of favoritism if the Hoover
Selb ee ae Ha broader
Powers agencies and supervi-
is adopted.
to employees, say some employee | sors
The first two sections of the
report were submitted to Congress,
“The recommendations of the
Hoover Commission include far
reaching reforms and procedures,”
said President Ambrust. “The
broad powers delegated to agency
heads and on down to the super-
visors extend broad discretion to
such officials in appointment, pro-
motion and dismissal, This may
seem on the surface to be an ex-
peditious procedure, but after ser-
ious thought it would perhaps in-
vite, without question, widespread
favoritism.”
He cited approvingly the fol-
lowing statement by President
Steward:
“I believe that the proposals
would pose an almost superhuman
problem for the Chairman of the
Civil Service Commission; and in
the event of his failure to exercise
the firmness required in the cir~
cumstances a veritable Pandora's
Box would be opened—contusion,
spoils practices, tack of uniform-
ity, and many other evils which
would represent not administrative
Progress but retrogression.”
Wage Board Plan
President Ambrust continued:
“Further proposals would bring
employees under the local wage
board system, which would mean
that salaries would be adjusted
up or down in various localities
according to the prevailing wage
index in a particular area,
“Many of the proposals are
constructive, such as opportuni~
ties for promotion; advancement
to capable career employees and
establishment of a career service.
Consideration must of necessity
be given not only to the interests
of employees but to the public as
well in making sweeping changes
in Government reform,
“The various proposals and
recommendations by the Com-
mission, which will follow as the
weeks pass, will be the subject of
widespread discussion.”
Upper Professional
Jobs Show Increase
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. — The
number of Federal employees in
the top three professional and
scientific grades has increased
steadily since the end of the war,
and the number in the top three
clerical, administrative and fiscal
grades has decreased, the U. S,
Civil Service Commission an-
nounced.
In 1946 the number of employ-
ees in Grades P-6 to P-8 totaled
«dt 8,414, in 1947 the number had in-
creased to 9,275, and in 1948 the
total was up to 9,874, Employees
in Grades CAF-13 to CAF-15 to-
taled 8,930 in 1946, decreased to
7,709 in 1947, and were down to
7,425 in 1948,
The 1,400 increase in the top
professional and scientific group
is attributed to the increasing
emphasis on scientific research
and development activities in the
Federal service. A survey con-
ducted some time ago showed that
about 80 per cent of the top pro-
fessional and scientific positions
were held by engineers, physical
scientists, and agricultural and
biological scientists.
The end of wartime administra-
tive agencies, such as OPA and
_| WPB, and reductions in force in
other agencies accounted for the
decrease in the top CAG grades.

‘This will be the first of the series:
Larger reduction in the num-

‘The reduction by 4,000 will be
due largely to the replacement of

about a thousand a few weeks ago
but have been reduced in number
since.
The Commission certified 600
more names for appointment as
Conductor. These replacements
are made faster than those for
Surface Line Operator, in which
title the Board of Transportation
can take on 35 a week, because
of the training involved,
The Board of Transportation’s
report on the number of its pro-
visionals is being awaited by the
Commission. The provisionals in
the rest of the NYC jobs are al-
ready listed by the Commission.
Provisional Promotees
Included among __ provisionals
generally are competitive em-
ployees temporarily filling posi-
tions in the next step of the pro-
motion ladder, This makes the
citywide provisional total larger
by several thousand. Including all,
the provisionals as of February 28
are expected to total 22,000.

Move to Oust Them from PBA
Unfair, Say Six Accused
The six Patrolmen whom sup-
porters of President John E, Car-
ton are trying to have expelled
from the NYC Patrolmen’s Bene-
volent Association on grounds .of
continuous criticism of officers and
“undermining” of the organiza-
tion, struck back with a listing
of four charges of unfair practice:
Three of the six are petitione:
in the suit by 61 Patrolmen for
an accounting of the receipts of
the 1948 PBA ball, said to be
$100,000. One of these three is
the representative petitioner, Lan-
der Hamilton, of the 105th Pre-
cinct, Queens; the two other
etitioners now accused are Jack
ark, Mr, Carton’s co-delegate
from the 45th, although opposed
to him; and Peter Schneider, of
the 30th, The three remaining
defendants are Joseph Healy, of
the 41st; Irvin Fendel, of the 23rd,
and Joel Weinberg, of the 20th.
What the Six Allege
The listing by the six men of
acts of alleged unfairness follows:
The PBA constitution pro-
° vides that a two-thifds vote
of the members is necessary for
expulsion of a member and re-
quires by implication that all mem-
bers be given both a copy of the
charges and an opportunity to
attend the hearing to vote for or
against expulsion. The constitu-
tional provision for a two-thirds
vote of the delegates before a
delegate may be removed as a
delegate, does not apply to the
expulsion from membership, yet
Mr, Carton denied the request for
all-member action,

for the defense c ser than PBA
members, was demic. them by
Mr. Carton.
The 150 pro-Carton delegates
'* who made the charges against
the defendants should not be al-
lowed to vote on the issue of guilt
or innocence, otherwise they
would be both accusers and judges.
Mr, Carton’s statement that
‘¢ he would sit as judge at the
hearing and would make all de-
cisions as to what evidence the
six delegates would be permitted
to present, constitutes a leading
instigator of the charges the pre-
siding judge of the trial.
Hearing on March 8
The hearing on the charges
against the six defendants is
scheduled to take place at the
next meeting of the PBA dele-
gates, on Tuesday, March 8, at
Werdemann’s Hall.
The six defendants call the at-
tempt to oust them from the PBA
a reprisal for the constructive
activities of the Pension Forum,
a line organization seeking lower
pension rates in the department,
and for the accounting suit.
The expulsion charges are based
on articles published in the Pen-
sion Forum Blotter, all but one of
the articles published from six
month to nearly three years ago,
say the defendants.
Written charges are to be sup-
plied to the defendants,
“We owe no apology to any
PBA member for our activities,”
said Mr. Schneider.
He listed nine projects that the
six men helped to accomplish,
initiate or fought for in the PBA,
popular election of officers, 40-
hour week program; pension rate
revision; periodic election of dele-
gates; sound finances; study of
police pensions; veteran legisla-
tion; public relations program;
salary increase caucus,
“The PBA is a better, stronger
organization because of our ef-
forts,” said Mr. Schneider. “It
will be even stronger when com~-
plete financial reports are made
to the members.”
Answering a query from Mayor
William O'Dwyer on the compara-
tive status of exempt positions in
the NYC government, Joseph A,
McNamara, President of the Muni-
cipal Civil Service Commission,
wrote that the number has risen
since 1946, but the ratio to other
|positions has fallen, Mayor
O'Dwyer took office on January 1,
1946. Since then more than 40
new exempt positions have been
established, other exempt posi-
tions transferred to the non-com-
petitive class.
In a detailed report of the city’s
| status in relation to exempt jobs,
|Mr, McNamara wrote that NYC
“ranks lowest of all municipal
| jurisdictions in the country in the
percentage of exempt employees as
compared to the total number.”
Many NYC positions in the ex-
empt class are statutory, Presi-
|dent McNamara continued,
Count by Classes
The exempt positions for seven
years prior to 1946, were .003 of
the total, Mr. McNamara stated,
and was .0022, as of December
last. Exempt positions, of the
policy-making type in New York
| State service, he noted, constitute
.018 of the total.

Conversion would increase pen-
sion benefits, by making the pres-
ent bonus subject to budgetary
contributions by the city and equal
contributions from salary by the
|employees. There would be no
| salary increase, in fact, reduction
of take-home pay instead, to the
extent of the extra contributions
from salary.
The LEADER learned that the
Mayor has been considering con-
verting only $300 of Police and
Fire pay, and only $250 of the
pay of others.
John E. Carton, president of
the Patrolmen’s Benevolent As-
sociation, told civilian employees
of the Police Department at a
meeting of their Forum council,
that while he couldn't promise
anything, he’d advise those who
contemplate retiring to hold off
until July 1, The new budget, in
which conversion would be ap-
plicable, goes into effect then.
. Carton mentioned no figures,
Employees Are Irked
President John P. Crane, of the
Uniformed Firemen’s Association,
has called a special meeting for
Friday, February 25, to consider
the Mayor's stand on the referen-
dum bill, which is already drawn.
The firefighters may pass a res-
olution stating they will be satis-
fied with nothing less than the
total bonus being converted into
base pay.
UFOA Position
President Frederick J. Muesle,
of the Uniformed Fire Officers
Assn, backs full conversion and al-
so_ seeks, on behalf of the UFOA,
salary increases for Fire Officers
on an equal percentage basis to
any granted to Firemen, as dis-
tinguished from a flat pay in-
crease applicable to Firemen and
Fire Officers alike,
‘No Determination Yet’
“There has been no determina-
tion made at all on freezing the
bonus into base pay,” Mr. Patter-
son told The LBADER, in answer
to @ question,
Supreme Court Justice Thomas
J. Cuff heard argument in Queens
on a motion by the Patrolmen’s
Benevolent Association and five of
its officers to dismiss, for insuf-
ficiency in law, a proceeding be-
gun by 61 members of the PBA
for an accounting of the funds
realized from the 1948 ball, said
to _be $100,000.
He gave the petitioners until
yesterday to submit briefs and the
defendants until Thursday to put
in their reply briefs. Meanwhile
the time for the defendants to put
in their answer, admitting or de-
nying allegations in the com-
plaint, is extended automatically
until after the motion is decided,
provided the decision is a denial
of the motion.
Defendants’ Claim
The defendants claimed,
through their attorney, James H.
Tully, that the complaint doesn’t
set forth a cause of action in
equity and that the petitioners’
only right would be by mandamus
under Article 78 of the Civil Prac-
tice Act. This legal objection was
strenuously refuted by Saul Rad-
in, of 37 Wall Street, the peti-
tioners’ attorney,
Legal Procedure
If the motion is denied, after
the answer is served the case
would be put on the calendar for
trial before a Supreme Court Jus-
tice on the issue of whether or
by the defendants. But before this
trial would take place the attor-
neys for the petitioners would
have the right to examine the in-
dividual defendants and others
before trial.
Should an accounting be or-
dered, any objections to the ac-
count submitted would have to be
made to the court. The dispute at
this stage would be adjudicated
by a Supreme Court Justice or
sent to an official referee. If the
jpetitioners sustain any charges of
improper expenditures, they seck
to hold the individual defend-
ants personally liable.
In effect, if the petitioners sus-
tain their contentions, the case
would be tried twice: first, on the
issue of justification of demand
for an accounting, which, if won,
would result in an interlocutory
judgment; second, after the test-
ing of objections to the account-
Use of 5 Lists Widened;

One of the means being used
