Job-Freeze Hits All Govt. Employees
A Manpower Stabilization Plan, implementing the President's
Hold-the-Line” order of April 8,
was approved last week by the
Labor-Management War Manpower Committee for the New York
City area, and will replace the limited plan previously in effect.
The new program, which drastically affects civil service employees,
begins to operate on Thursday, May 27,
Under the arrangement, all workers employed in essential ac-
tiviti

effort in his new job, however,
he would be considered for a re-

When Release Is Granted
The following specific grounds
for the issuance of releases are
given:
1, When the employee is dis-
charged or laid off for a period
of 7 days or more, or for an
indefinite period,
2. When the employee has
been employed for a substantial
period at less than full time.

or willing to provide.

U.S. Employees May
Have to Wait for Pay
By CHARLES SULLIVAN
WASHINGTON.—A legislative
log-jam is threatening Federal
agencies, and the pay checks of
Federal employees.
Congress is far behind in its
work. Not in the memory of the
oldest official here have so many
appropriations bills remained
still un-passed at this late date
in the year.
At week's end, not a single
major bill had been acted upon,
This raised the possibility that
many agencies. will find them-
selves without funds when the
fiscal year expires June 30.
The ‘probable solution, how-
ever, is this: In all likelihood,
Congress will pass continuing
resolutions enabling the agen-
cies to go on spending at the
current rate until the new bills
have been approved. That has
been the custom in the past.
The unfortunate possibility is,
however, that this time there
may be a slip. And then you'll
have to wait for your pay.

WASHINGTON, — Credit for
one of the best employee rela-
tions ideas of the year goes to
the Soil Conservation Service.

If an employer fails or re-

Influx of Workers
The influx of labor from other
areas is controlled by a para-
graph which states that “no em-

DPUI Office in NYC Faces Shake-Up
And Severe Reduction in Personnel
Exclusive
ALBANY—Geared to handle more than, 100,000 claims when
the nl
umber now is running only between 25,000 and 30,000, the
over-staffed” staff of the Department of Placement and Unemploy-
ment Insurance is due for a shake-up and severe cut in personnel by
July 1, it was revealed this week.
‘This is the program as presently shaping up:
y-te number of DPUI of-
fices in New York City
will be reduced from 26 to 10,
No reduction in offices upstate
since DPUL shares quarters of
USES.
—Because of increased ac-
“tivity in June (which is
the turning-point of the benefit
year when unemployment in-
surance claimants file for bene-
fits on the basis of 1942 in-
comes), there will be a jump in
temporary personnel.
3—To the staff of 267 per-
“* manent employees in DPUL
offices in New York City will be
added approximately 180 tempo-
3 to handle the June busi-
On July 1, all the tempo-
raries will be dismissed
and and the permanent staff
will be reduced from 267 to 168.
Upstate the personne] will be
reduced from 95, including 75
permanents, to about 65.
5—Employees in New York
“City who will be laid off
include managers (more than a
dozen in the highest grade);
senior and assistant claims ex-
aminers; employment interview~
ers; senior and assistant clerks;
assistant and junior stenogra-
phers and junior and assistant
typists,
Few to Be Hurt
But DPUI officials declare they
believe few employees actually
will be hurt. The reasons they
give for this conclusion are
these:
DPUI is now making a can-
vass to determine how many of
its employees who may be af-
fected by the layoff are likely to
be summoned to military service
within the next six or eight
weeks; the division is actively
promoting leaves of absence for
war industry jobs by which
some emplgyees, due for layoff,
will go into private employment
under guarantees that they may
return to State service through
@ special eligible list after the
war; and because other bureaus
of the DPUI may absorb many
of those who may be let out. A
meeting between DPUI officials
and SCMA representatives in
New York City confirmed that
few may be hurt.
Their Status
The question has been raised
about the relative status of
DPUI and USES employees who
are laid off so far as preferred
lists are concerned, Counsel to
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion said that this presents no
problem, He said persons laid off
either by DPUI or USES would
go on & merged list with senior-
ity prevailing. In any event, he
added, present lists are either
exhausted or unsatisfacory. Can-
vassing gets no results, Credit
is given he said for time served
in USES.
“Layoffs through no fault of
the individual do not mean loss
of any rights or privileges,” he
added. “No seniority is lost be-
cause in these cases the em-
ployee is merely suspended, not
separated, from the service, un-
til the list expires.”
To Get Crack at Other Jobs
DPUI official employees in
claims jobs who are laid off will
be given a crack at payroll ex-
aminer jobs, where there are
more than 100 vacancies, due to
-the draft and because many are
going into higher paying federal
revenue positions, There will be
@ “substantial” number of steno,
typist and clerical jobs open up-
state also, but it is not believed
that many will care to transfer
from New York.
Jobs Can Be Found
‘The opinion of DPUT officials
is that jobs can be found for
the bulk of those laid off and
that those qualified by previous
training, even though having
held lesser jobs, will be wel-
comed into the higher paying
positions in the tax and wage
records bureau—which is beg-
ging for help.
Late last week, representatives
of the SCMWA met with Milton
O. Loysen, Executive Director of
the DPUI, on the issue of the
prospective firings. Mr. Loysen,
according to the union, agreed
that there would be no firings
until it was seen if those sched~
uled to go could be placed else-
where, He also found reason to
assert that it would probably be
unnecessary to dismiss those be-
low the titles of claims exam-
iner The union men brought up,
too, the question: What happens
to the vacation and accrued an-
nual leave of those who may
have to be let go? To this Loy-
sen said that he would try to
have them paid out of special
Social Security funds.

City Budget Cuts Would
Slice Promotion Chances
The City Council last Friday
acted on the 1943-44 budget,
cutting down the amount to be
spent on personal services by al-
most $7,000,000, but not chang-
ing the provisions which affect
employees of the City, according
to Joseph E. Kinsley, chairman
of the body's committee on fi-
nance.
The $8,000,000 provided for in-
creases to City employees was
left intact, stated Mr. Kinsley.
Funds are allowed for Sunday
pay to employees of the Depart-
ment of Sanitation; the $1,200
minimum pay for employees also
retained, and the pay-raise
schedule is not affected.

budget and introduced the re-

mended that a deputy commis-
sioner be named in the Board
to head a Department of Labor
Relations.
The first step towards this
goal came when the Municipal
Civil Service Commission, after
holding public hearings on the
matter, approved the creation of
this position. The Mayor then
gave his O.K. and it passed to
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion who haven't yet given
their approval.

Magistrate Edward C, Maguire,
it has been revealed, will resign
from the Magistrate's Court
bench and accept the $1,200 a
year position as soon as all the
red tape has been untangled.
He has u wide reputation as
an expert on labor law, and
acted as counsel for several
unions during his legal career.
It is regarded as a certainty

that the Budget Director's Of-
fice will allow funds for the
position, and as soon as the
State Civil Service Commission
acts, the appointment will be
made.
While the Wilkinson Commit-
tee report urged that the new
deputy commissioner have ex-
tensive powers to deal with the
labor conditions in the Trans-
portation Board, that body
hasn’t yet announced just how
important the new deputy will
be.
Powers of Maguire
The Board is reported to be
working on a resolution defining
the authority of the new officer,
He may be given full powers
to negotiate with unions and
other employee groups on wages,
hours and working conditions,

tions presently filed have been
eliminated or reduced.”
The exceptions, explained
members of the committee, “are
some generals in the Emergency
Defense Bureau who have been
liquidated.”
Unfilled Positions Out
The savings indicated in the
Council's version of the Budget
have ben made by eliminating
practically all unfilled positions
in the Budget, and making no
provisions to fill military vacan-
cies.
On the surface this would seem
to eliminate the jobs for tem-
porary patrolman and temporary
fireman for which the Ciyil Ser-
vice Commission gave examina-
tions a short time ago. Ques-
tioned about this, Mr. Kinsley
said that the Departments still
had ample funds to hire these
men if it desired.
‘Those on Military Leave
Another change in the budget
which resulted in @ large de-
crease was the reduction of po-
sitions of employees on military
leave to a book salary of $1 for
the coming fiscal year.
Vice-Chairman Joseph T,
Sharkey of the Council said this
was done to prevent the accumu-
lations of funds in the various
departments which could not be
used for the purpose indicated,
(The previous budget has car
ried military accruals at their
full salary),
One newspaperman pointed
out to Mr, Sharkey that if the
war were to end tomorrow, the
service men would return and
find themselves working for a
salary of $1 @ year,

of the Parks Department, which
pointed out that very few eligi-
bles had been disqualified by
the medical and physical tests,
and that elimination of the tests
would help the department in
meeting present day difficulties
in recruiting eligibles.
Auto Enginemen
Below 1000 on List
Have Job Chance
Here’s some news for men on
the ee list for auto engine-
The Municipal Civil Service
Commission last week decided to
canvass the list and find out
which eligibles on the list below
No. 1,000 would be interested in
accepting temporary jobs with
the city.
According to the Commission,
those below No. 1,000 on the list
have little chance of receiving

they will consider temporary ap-
pointments will be given a prac-
tical test} very soon in the
operation of a passenger car,
and will be in line for jobs driv~

Speedy Placement
Seen for Those
On Grade 1 List
Here's some good news for
those 4,409 people on the clerk,
grade 1 list who are waiting for
their jobs with the city to come
through,
The Certification Bureau of
the Civil Service Commission
says that it is taking a canvass
of the list to find out just who
is available to start work.
They expect to have their re
plies in by the end of next
week, and then will begin cer
fying the names to the various
city departments which have
Jobs in this title filled by pro-
visionals (temporary non-civil
service appointees), and other
vacancies.
750 Pro’ pals
There are about 750 provision-
als who will be replaced. by
permanent employees during the
next few weeks. In addition,
‘other appointments will be made
to fill jobs in this capacity which
are vacant now, but which are
provided for in the budget.
The regular starting salary
for the position is $960 a year,
but according to the new
budget the salary will jump to
$1,200 a year on July 1. This
vaise is provided for the dura-

are not reached for appointment
as clerks. The Civil Service
Commission has indicated that
it will probably use the list for
other jobs.

3-A Fireman Case Comes Up
Again in Court This Week
‘The case of the Piremen eligibles who were passed over when

One hundred and forty-six

that refusing them appointment

Be ‘Cheerful’ About Shorter
Vacation, Burton Advises
ALBANY—Following a reduction of vacation allowances in two
gtate agencies, John E. Burton,
budget director, has called upon
heads of all departments and divisions to report to him by May 25
aha they propose to do about staff vacations this year.
‘please survey the manpower
situation in your department or
division in the light of require-
ments for maintaining services
and advise me of your proposed
yacation allowances,” Mr. Bur-
tot. wrote in a circular letter.
‘The Division of Military and
Naval Affairs has already noti-
fied all its employees, including
armory Staffs, that their vaca-
tions this year will be limited
to one Week. Employees of the
state Insurance Fund have been
tified they can have but two
for vacation.
Usually 4 Weeks
‘The usual vacation for State
employees 18 four weeks based
upon a total allowance of 22
working days off.
Mr, Burton stated that Gov-
enor Dewey is loathe to order
any curtailment of the usual va-
cation allowance, but he pointed
out (nat department heads must
ye guided in their determina-
tions by the ‘pressure of work.
Mr, Burton hinted that if it is
fourcl necessary in some depart-
; or bureaus to curtail the
,cation period, the employees
ould cheerfully comply. He re-
called that when the Governor
—
recommended the general pay
increase for State workers, “he
pointed out that the State man-
power had been seriously im-
paired. He stated that those who
remained at their tasks would,
he was sure, work harder and
longer to make up for the defi-
ciency,” Mr. Burton said in his
letter, referring to the Governor.
The budget director said even
at this stage “it is clear that
the customary period for taking
vacations, between June 15 and
Sept. 15, must be extended.”
Vacations, he said, should be
staggered to meet the different
pressure periods of work.
Representatives of organ-
ized employees feel that most
department heads probably will
be able to permit the full four-
weeks’ vacation, with adjust-
ments if necessary. One of them
said that employees now are
and will continue to work over-
time not only to keep current in
vacation periods but throughout
the year, it was contended,
None of the employees this re-
porter spoke to felt “cheerful”
about the proposed cut in vaca-
tions,

Changed Titles
For Maintenance
Employees?
Representatives of the C.L.O.,
the Civil Service Forum, the New
York City Housing Authority, and
David Savage, attorney for a
group of maintenance men in
the Department of Hospitals, ap-
peared at a public hearing held
last week by the Civil Service
Commission on the question of
reclassifying maintenance men
into the competitive service.
All those present were in favor
of the principle of the proposed
change, which would take the
titles of Maintenance Man and
Handyman from the labor class
and put them on a competitive
basis, The SCMWA objects, how-
ever, that the ‘resolution as at
present. drawn up may prove a
wedge for cutting pay of certain
employee titles which could be
brought under the new mainte-
nance classification.
Savage, too, suggested changes
in the wording of the proposed
resolution,
Prevailing Rate
In “order to assure that men
engaged in specialized work would
receive the prevailing wage rate
for such work in private indus-
try, Mr, Savage asked that th
be assured that they would con-
tinue to be classed as’ “mainte-
nance man” rather than “handy-'
man,” He pointed out that the
Civil Service Commission had di-
vided the maintenance men into
such as “electrician,”
and “carpenter,” and
that it would be fair to continue
this classication so that they
would be paid according to the
type of work they perform.

U.S. Legal Exam Opens
To Additional Lawyers
The U. S. Board of Legal Ex-
aminers this week amended its
announcement of a Federal ex-
amination to include several new
classifications of attorneys. The
new groups eligible to apply for
the examination are these:
American citizens qualified for
any of the positions specified
who on Sept. 26, 1942, were liv-
ing in relocation centers of the
War Relocation Authority.
Persons otherwise qualified
who did not apply for the exam-
ination of Sept. 26, 1942, because
they had been officially notified
of their imminent induction inte
the armed services pursuant to
the Selective Service Act or of
their duty to report pursuant to
enlistment or membership in the
organized reserves.
Persons who were not citizens
of the United States on Aug, 31,
1942 (the closing date for filing
application for the examination
of Sept. 26, 1942), who have since
become citizens and who are
otherwise qualified for any of
the positions specified.
who were ineligible to
the examination of
for
Sept. 26, 1942, because they did
not at that time expect to com-
plete the academic requirements
for a law degree before Feb. 15,
1943, but who because of an ac-
celerated law school curriculum
subsequently adopted, did in fact
complete such requirements prior
to that date and who are other-
wise qualified
Original Admissions
The original announcement
had admitted men only in these
honorably dicharged
from service since the last legat
exam was held in September;
isabled war veterans and their
ad widows; law students
who would obtain their degree be-
tween Feb, 15 (last) and Noy, 15.
The legal positions pay be-
tween $1,800 and $3,200, depend-
ing on length of exp nee, This
is exclusive of overtime pay.

disciplinary power short
actual dismissal
On the other hand, the Board
may draw up a resolution which
would merely give him advisory
power and not leave him free
to straighten out the deeply-
rooted differences between the
Board and its employees which
had inspired the Mayor to ap-
point a special committee to in-
vestigate the situation.
The present impartial griev-
ance committee consists of two
members, Andrew R. Armstrong
and Nathan Frankel. The
Mayor's committee recommend~
ed the abolition of this two-
some from the Board.
However, the Board has given
no indication that it is liquidat-
ing this grievance committee,
nor has it announced any plans
for the formation of a staff to
of
work under Judge Maguire.
Other Headaches
In addition to the usual dif-
ferences which arise between
employees and administrators,
the new deputy commissioner
will inherit other headaches.
The pay ‘s for the- Board
of Transportation which are
provided in the 1943-4 budget
are all tangled up, with a lump
sum to be divided among the em-
ployees on a still undetermined
basis.
Then there are labor contracts
which came into the Board of
‘Transportation from the LR.T.
and B.M.T, with the unification
of the subways and are still in
effect. These have been the
source of much controversy,
The Board has also found i*
extremely difficult to meet ils
minimum manpower needs, anc
this has further complicater
labor relationships,

Bradley’s
Column
By
Brigadier General
John J. Bradley’ (Ret.)
What Are the Chances of Becoming 4%
An Officer in the Army?
CHANCES OF BECOMING AN OFFICER in th Army,
are growing slimmer, at least for the remainder of 1943,
THE FACTS ARE THESK
1. The Army has already trained in its Officer Candidate
Schools nearly as many men as it needs to officer the troops.
2. As larger numbers of men go overseas, the officers who go
with them must he opportunities for promotion at least as-great
as those who remain at home.
As the Army approaches its maximum strength, the num
ber of new units pul into operation begins to slow down, and this
means less need for officers
THE INDICATIO: ARE THESE:
1. To enter Officer Candidate School it is now n ary to
earn a grade of 115 on the Army General Classification ‘lest. It
used to be 110.
2. Officer Candidate Schools are sharp
ber of their entering students, and
down altogether.
8. The Army has cut to a trickle the number of officers it is
accepting direct from civilian life.
ON THE OTHER HAND, opportunit for the men in the
combat areas are increased. Assignment to second lieutenancies
among overseas units will be made both from OCS graduates and
from enlisted men who have shown in battle that they have the
capacity to lead. Thus, a corporal or a sergeant who has shown
under the stress of battle that he can be relied upon to lead a
platoon competently, or has in some other manner demonstrated
his ability, will have a chance to fill vacancies.
It is planned that these vacanies at the bottom of the com+
missioned officer ranks shall be created in this manne
1, The War Department will bring back to the United States
battle-proved officers who deserve higher commands, assign them
to new units 4s commanders of battalions or regiments. ‘There are
vacancies which the War Department has left unfilled, and these
officers will be promoted to the vacant spots.
2, The War Department won't send abroad officers in the
same rank as those which have been brought home. ‘he vacancies
in combat areas will be filled at the bottom,
THIS DORSN'T MEAN that the man about to enter the
Army must despair of his chances of becoming an officer. (A) Of-
ficer Candidate schools have not closed completely, even if their
entrance standards are higher. (B) As the war goes on, and as
more men become involyed in it, more officers will be needed, and
it may open the opportuhities for a commission more widely than
ever. (C) Moreover, there is always the chance of trying for a
Warrant Officer's bars. ‘The Warrant Officer is selected by exam-
ination, and he ranks, in military parlance, “with, but below, the
second lieutenant.” Fle wears an officer's uniform, takes the salute,
and his earnings at the beginu
ings of a second lieutenant.
THESE ARE PRESENT REQUIREMEN
jnto Officer Candidate School;
«Age: 18 to 46 (to 50 in Army Administration School),
Intelligence: 115 or better on the induction test,
Education: Sufficient to enable applicant to complete his work
in OCS.
Height: 5 feet to 6 feet 6 inches.
Weight: 106 pounds minimum.
Vision:-Minimum of 20/200 in each eye, correctible to 20/40
with glasses. Applicants with lesser vision may, under certain
conditions, be acceptable for commissions with the Corps of Mil-
itary Police, Quartermaster Corps, Ordnance Department, Chem=
ical Warfare Service, Adjutant General's Department, Army Air
Forces Administration, or Army Administration.
Before being accepted for OCS, the prospective candidate is
given a careful oral “going-over" by a board of officers,
In forthcoming issues, General Bradley will discuss in detail
the opportunities available for limited service men; and will dis-
cuss more thoroughly the manner in which a man applies for war-
rant or commissioned officer ranks, the various types of tests he
iy given, and the kind of preparation which helps in Officer Can-
didate School.

Comedy of Errors
M May we tell you a little actual event about: this year's
budget? We don’t feel happy about it.
Here is a City of 7,000,000 employing more than 180,000
persons. These 180,000 represent the vital bloodstream of ci
Jife, and on them depend the safety, health, livelihood, and ci
progress of the 7,000,000.
Now these 180,000—the bloodstream—and this work rests
on a book of figures known as the budget, which is made up
once a year.
After the Budget Director and his assistants, with the
Mayor's help, put in months of labor, develop a complicated
line-by-line budget (which maker ap a book which the average
person can scarcely lift) ... after public hearings are held, at
which labor and civic groups and public employees say good and
bad things before the Board of Estimate... after that august
legislative body the City Council solemnly receives the document
. after the figures are turned over to the Finance Committee,
ling of supposed specialists on financial affairs . . . after
these supposed specialists on financial affairs prepare a state-
ment which cuts the budget by millions—deeply affecting the
City’s services, supplies, personnel, promotions . . . after this
Committee submits a report which its own minority members
don’t see until a half-hour before it is made public—
—After all th st a few hours on the last day during
which the budget could be considered, that report is presented to
the City Council for action; its members are asked to decide in
these final hours on an item-by-item basis what is to be left in
and what is to be eliminated . . . on the basis of material which
eyen a Philadelphia lawyer couldn't figure out in a week of
study.
When things like this ean happen to a basic document that

LABOR RELATIONS IN THE SUBWAYS
The Board of ‘Transportation is trying to. figure out just
where the powers of its new Deputy Commissioner in charge of
labor relations (not yet appointed officially, but presumed to be
Judge Edward C. Maguire) should begin and end. We'd like
to suggest that these powers be broad and inclusive, ‘The old
Subway Grieyance Board failed preci because it was a weak
body, unable to put into affect its decisions or even to obtain
consideration of its suggestions, The grievances and labor prob-
lems* in the transit system are many and complex. In their
solution, they require firmness, directness, and most of all, de-
cision. We hope the Board of Transportation will accept the
recommendation of the Wilkinson Committee, which dreamed up
the idea of a Department of Labor Relations within the Board,
with power to hear the men, deal with their problems and claims,
conduct disciplinary hearings, and dispose of these matters
promptly.

You should be. They affect you—a jot.

THE COP-FIREMAN REFERENDUM
The Uniformed
emen’s Association and the Patrolmen’s
Benevolent Association announced last week that they had col-
lected the 600,000 signatures they need on their petitions to get a
pay raise referendum on the ballot this fall,

pl

A WORD ON THE NORMAN STONE MATTER
The teapot tempest that broke last week over the rumored
appointment of Norman M, Stone to the post of Director of Edu-
cation in the Correction Department, had one angle that should get
some serious thought from civil service authorities. It is the ques-
tion whether the rule permitting a department head to disbar women
after those women had properly qualified in an examination, is a
proper rule from the merit system point of view.
In the Stone case, a woman, Ruth Lentz, had come out num-
ber 1 on the list, But Commissioner Amoroso gays he doesn't want
a woman in the job. He has the legal right to deny the job to a
woman, But why should a woman have been admitted to the ex-
amination in the first place if she could never hope for the position?
Scems to us the rule granting a department head diseretion to
name the sex he wants to a job after the exam has been held, and
after both men and women had been qualified, might require some
re-consideration,
Politics
There is persistent talk that
Dean Alfange, ALP candidate
for Governor, is in line for a
top appointment from Mayor
LaGuardia. Reason: The May-
or and the right wing ALP are
somewhat estranged. Alfange
is not too well-liked by right-
wing leaders like David Dubin-
sky. However, Alfange, who
proved such a spectacular draw-
ing card in the election, is an
important figure with rank-and-
file ALP voters. A combina-
tion of Alfange and LaGuardia
might hold against Dubinsky
and other labor leaders, and
help swing ALP LaGuardia’s
way—if and when... Straw
in the wind: Alfange made no
public statement against the
firing of Johanna Lindloff by
the Mayor . . . Boner of the
year was pulled by the Mayor
last week, in the presence of a
group of American Indians. A
flier who had fought the Japs,
told the audience, “The only
good Jap is a dead Jap.”
Quipped LaGuardia: “That re-
minds me. Where I come from
we used to say the only good
Indian is @ wooden Indian.”
Nobody laughed. . . .

ONE OF THE BUSIEST of
government offices in New York
City is located on the 22nd floor
of 11 West 42d Street, in Man-
hattan, And what goes on in
that office affects the job and
wartime condition of every em-
ployee. During the past few
weeks, many important job prob-
lems affecting government em-
ployees have been thrashed out
here. May a subway conductor
leave his job to take another one
in wartime industry? Can 9
War Department employee in
the Watervliet Arsenal obtain a
release for a job in a private fac-
tory? What will New York City
do about its “essential” services
as employees continue to leave
for the armed forces and for
other positions?
The whole staff is involved in
finding the answers to problems
like these, and giving fast, rea-
sonable answers to the harried
public. Anna Rosenberg, region-
al manpower chief, constantly on
the go between New York and
Washington and Albany; Deputy
Director Joe O'Connor, who
holds down the line in the New
York office; Abe Savage, who
deals with the press and some-
times has to meet questions for
which there aren’t any answers
yet; and some 500 others.
We looked in the other day
and said hello to Louis Ritter,
who is Assistant to the Deputy
Director. Louis is a trouble-

Mud-slinging
At U. S. Employees
Sirs: Regarding your article
in reference to “Smearing” of
Federal workers who are exempt
from military service, it might
be relevant to also advise the
mud-slingers that according to
an order issued by the Navy
Department and signed by the
higher ups, no Federal worker
deferred for any reason can en-
jist or apply for any commis-
sion. It seems that if a Federal
worker wanted to’ enlist, he
couldn't anyhow, because he
would first have to obtain a re-
lease from his agency, which is
well nigh impossible. The only
way for him to get into uniform
is via the draft,

DISGUSTED PATROLMAN,
Donovan Goes
After the Men
Interest in the Harnedy-Burk-
ard-Donoyan-Smiles contest for
presidency of the PBA continues
to grow.
Biggest bombshell is the sud-
den campaign of the new group
known as “A-Vote-for-Every-
Patrolman Committee,” headed
by Ray A. Donowan. Organized
quietly and efficiently, this com-
mittee has set up flying squads
of patrolmen who will cover
every precinct and try to speak
to every patrolman in the PBA.
The boys have petitions which
This is Patrolman Ray Dono-
van. His bombshell may up-
set the PBA delegate apple-
cart.
the cops are being asked to sign.
Those petitions call for two
things:
1, Amending of the PBA con-
stitution and by-laws so as to
provide for direct election of of-
ficers by the members.
2. Repeal of the present pro-
vision for the election of officers
by delegates,
Donovan, who has been for
these principles many years,
once collected more than 10,000
signatures of patrolmen calling
for his election, which is some
indication of his signature-get-
ting ability. However, his vote-
getting ability with the dele-
gates is pretty near nil, “Now,”
says Ray, “I’m not interested in
my own election to office. What
I want to do is to establish the
principle once and for all of dem-
ocratic elections. If the people of
this country have the brains to
vote for President of the United
States, the cops have the brains
to vote for President of the PBA,
The present delegate set-up is
undemocratic, based on distrust
of the men, and removes from
the patrolman any say in the or-
ganization which purports to rep-
resent him.”
Donovan doesn't ask for doing
away with the whole system of
delegate representation. He asks
only for direct elections, The
Uniformed Firemen’s Association
has direct elections, he points
out.
Talking about his plans, Ray
says: “I have never heard a logi-
cal argument presented in favor
of the delegate system, I have
never talked with a patrolman
who didn't want the vote him-
self.”
The By-laws of the Patrol-
man’s Benevolent Association are
peculiar in that they make no
provision for any method where-
by the patrolmen may voice their
opinions about organizational
matters. There are no such
things as membership meetings.
There are no definite terms for
the delegates, and the manner in
which delegates get chosen has
sometimes been open to question.
For example, Donovan says
“There are cases where a man
became a delegate simply be-
cause the captain in the precinct
said, when a vacancy occurred:
‘Aw, let so-and-so be the dele-
gate.’ And that was that.”
In such a situation, Donovan
argues, the patrolman cannot ex-
pect to get real representation,
“The answer is direct election of
officials. Such officials must be
more responsive to the needs of
the men.”
As this issue was going to press,
Donovan's forces had laid plans.
which they aren’t yet revealing
about what they intend to do
with the signatures when they
get them. They're talking to at-
torneys who are delving deep into
the PBA by-laws and history. By
Monday of this week, the Dona-
von boys had plenty of petitions
filled with names, and more com-
ing in from all parts of the city,
While Donovan himself was
somewhat reticent about his
plans, it was learned that he is
trying to accumulate more than
7,000 signatures, which would
* give him a clear majority of the
members, According to legal ad-
vice, he would then be in a posi-
tion to take strong action.
His force of men gathering the
signatures began with 35, in all
parts of the city.- They gather
recruits as they go along. One
difficulty they've met is that they
have to do the job on foot, in
view of gas rationing. This slows
them up quite a bit.
From where we look at it, this
appears as though it may bring
about major changes in the
structure of the PBA.
Nobody expects Donovan to
land more than about three votes
from the delegates. This latest
move to take away election con-
trol from the delegates alienates
him still further from that group.
PBA Election News
Sizing up the PBA campaign
as of now. It looks like this:
1, Harnedy running ahead,
2, Burkard closing in,
3. Donovan away down,
4. Smiles—away down.
Both Harnedy and Burkard
are entering a period of heavy
campaigning. Harnedy is playing
up the referendum for all it’s
worth, He's managed to get
plenty of newspaper space on it.
The men collected the necessary
number of signatures. Harnedy is
taking full credit for this. He and
his supporters are talking to the
delegates everywhere, trying to
drum up a sure victory.
Burkard’s tactics are different.
First, a Committee has been set
up which represents itself as a
Delegate’s Committee—as op-
posed to the Harnedy forces,
which Burkard refers to as the
“Officers’ Ticket." Burkard con-
tends that the Board of Officers
is in a way to perpetuate itself.
At the nominations, something
happened which may have seri-
ous repercussions later. The Har-
nedy slate was nominated as a
whole, not as individuals. The
legality of this move was ques-
tioned on the floor by delegate
Frank D. Pasquale of the 74th
Pet. But Harnedy waved the
question aside. Now the question
comes up whether it was legal to
nominate the slate in one fell
swoop. If there is a way of prov-
ing that it wasn’t legal—and if
the Harnedy slate wins—then
you can look forward to a legal
battle to oust Harnedy and his
men.
For direct arguments, Burkard
is using what he calls the “no-
accomplishment record” of the
Harnedy regime. In speaking to
the delegates, Burkard’s support-
ers say that Harnedy failed the
patrolmen in the following ways:
1, He didn’t get the communi-
cations bill through, which would
have prohibited the appointment
of civilians at the telephone jobs.
2. He vacillated on the tempo-
rary patrolman bill, which, ar-
gues Burkard, isn't in the best
interest of the cops.
3. He failed to get a pay raise,
The third point is the one
Burkard hammers away at most.
He says ‘he people who would~
n't do anything for Harnedy
gave the State employees the big-
gest raise in years. He failed in
the City, too.”
About the referendum, Burk-
ard says:
“What we need is a pay raise,
more than a bonus, When the war
ends, this bonus goes out the win-
dow. What's more, if it goes
through, we don’t start getting
more money until April 1, 1944,
What are we supposed to live on
in the meantime? If the war
should end before that date, we
would haye gone through this
whole period holding the bag.”

Your Chance for
A Post-War Job
.Boss Charles Reichert feels
that there is a pretty good
chance that those now working
in the Veterans Administration
will have their jobs in the post-
war period,
Reichert went through the
last war with the Veterans Ad-
ministration and knows how
m uch responsibility will be
placed in the hands of the
bureau after the hostilities have
stopped, The Government is ex-
pected to organize a huge re-
habilitation program for war
veterans who cannot return to
their pre-war jobs because of
service-connected disabilities.
Many will have to be retrained
for new types of work; they will
have to receive Government
help until they get back on their
feet again, and all this will be
part of Veterans Administra-
tion's job,
Then the business of paying
compensation for men who have
been permanently disabled, and
working closely with the mili-
tary hospitals to protect the
rights of war veterans will take
a large permanent staff of em-
ployees, One good piece of evi-
dence that is more than just
speculation is the fact that Mr.
T. O. Kraabel, national director
of rehabilitation for the Ameri-
can Legion, was around the
building last week.
And while we're on the sub-
ject of jobs at Vets, the ques-
tion of pensions happened to
come up. Five percent of your
salary is deducted and goes into
the pension fund. Some war-
service appointees have been
complaining about this “kick-
back,” but it seems that the set-
up is fair enough.
- If you remain in Government
service for good, you can retire
at sixty, or after 30 years of
work, and know that you'll have
a life income. If you leave with-
in five years, then you can
withdraw the money contributed,
with interest, If you stay in
Federal service more than five
years, the dough stays where it
it. But, suppose that you get a
job in private industry later.
‘Then you'll be paying social se-
curity and the money you paid
while in the Vets will be cred-
ited to your social security ac-
count. So you can't lose,
Vacations
You kids in Vets are pretty
lucky this year when it comes to
vacations. You still rate your 26
days for a full year's service (if
your super hasn't clipped you
for too much annual leave for
things like being thirty seconds
late).
Some Washington offices have
been cut down to as.little as six
days. The only restriction here
is that not more than 12 per-
cent of any department can be
on vacation at one time.
Batter-ess Up
We hear that the gale are
trying to form a soft-ball team
and think they can beat the
boys at the sandlot game, If the
girl get their squad organized,
there ought to be a game be-
tween the two sexes, Winner
will have the right to use the
name “Veterans Administra-
tion.” The other team will have
to bow its head in shame and
pick another name for itself.

How the Club
Works
Any person who has a son,
brother, father, husband, relative or
friend in the Armed Forces of the
qwuntry is eligible for membership.
The sole qualification is a sin«
cere desire to help that man in the
Armed Forees get the fighting
equipment he needs by saving a
War Stamp every day in his honor.
Therre are no dues and no obli-
gion other than a person's own
ition to himself to live up to
his pledge to save “‘A-stamp-a-day,””
Choose now, Hither we give our
the planes, tanks, guns, and
y've gol to have to win—or
ng them march to their
defeat and our destruction, Pla
ost money, Tanks don’t grow
twes. And the storks don’t bring
subchasers,
We've got to pay for them. “We”
neans all of us—ineluding you.
How? By buying War Bonds
and Stamps, And every time our
amount to $18.75 we get a
worth $26 in 10 years. That's
k foe every $3 we put in.
n't that the least we who stay at
home do to help win the war?

Burkard contends, too, that
many of the delegates are an-
gered because Harnedy didn’t
keep them informed of progress
on the referendum—and the first
they knew what was happening
was what they read in the press.
Burkard is playing this for all
it’s worth, using it as an argu-
ment to show, he says, “that the
delegates don’t play the role they
think they do in this organiza-
tion.”
‘We want to correct the list of
nominees in one respect. The
Board of Trustee candidates

F. Raphael,
The men who sued in the
Schneider case to collect $400
due them in back pay hayen't
received their money yet. When
they do receive it, it'll be less the
5 per cent Victory Tax and less
any other taxes that might come
up in the meantime, The Schnei-
der case covered only 17 men of
*the 300 appointed of June 5,
1940, These 17 now haye a judg-

though they haven't been paid

Now the new case which has
been started for the same thing
—the Adrian case—covers only 8
men of several hundred ap-
pointed in June of 1941, If they
win, these 8 will have a judg-
ment against the city and must
be paid.
‘There are some 883 patrolmen
not mentioned in either suit,
who are now firmly gripping th
well-known empty bag. The City
doesn’t consider itself bound by
the decision in the Schneider
case or, presumably, by the deci-
sion that will result from the
Adrian case, if it is favorable to
> the men. In other words, if the
Adrian case is won, the 883 must
still bring suit on their own be-
half. On the other hand, if the
Adrian case is lost, the 883 men
Citizens’ Volunteer
Cop Force
‘The Department has been
short of Patrolmen for years and
especially since the outbreak of
the war, But there has never
been a shortage of itleas on how
to solve the manpower problem
in the Police Department. Yet
each idea seems to blossom for a
day and then suddenly or quietly
dies of shame like a beautiful but
bad-smelling flower.
First it was the City Patrol
Corps. Much fuss made over it,
but the police problem persisted.
Second, the Temporary Patrol-
men idea blossomed out amid a
great furor, and yet it fell quietly.
The latest wrinkle is a result
Mayor and over twenty clerey-
men of uptown Manhattan —a
conference held as a result of the
critical condition in that part of
the City. The plan evolved at
that conference provides for a
citizens’ volunteer group who will
patrol the streets of the City
from 8 P.M. to midnight every
night, Every volunteer will be
expected to perform this patrol
duty twice weekly.. Volunteers
will be approved by a board of
clergymen as to their character
and qualifications and will be
clothed with full police powers
while on duty. In some parts of
the City they may be permitted
to carry firearms, but most of
them, it is planned, will be
armed only with @ night-stick.

the plan is practicable you can

Dicks is responsible for her sec-
tion turning out a certain quota
of insurance applications each
day and these certain indivi
als who persist in wasting most
of their time here seem resent-
ful because they can't get away
with it.
“As final evidence of Miss
Dicks’ popularity among her em-
ployees, approximately 125 of
them attended a testimonial
dinner celebrating her 25 years
in Federal Civil Service. It was
held Monday evening, May
24, at the Havana-Madrid. The
affair was a surprise to Miss
Dicks, as all arrangements had
been made quietly and without
her knowledge.”
Jottings
‘The rule book says “No solici-
tations in the building,” but the
4th Floor has allowed one group
of magazine salesmen to do busi-
ness on the lower floors. . . .
And the building cops are sure
on their toes, One day last week
I was whispering to people
and marking things down on
paper when the long arm of the
law walked over and wanted to
know whether I was making
book (you know, horse bets,
etc.) or taking orders, but it
turned out O.K. ... he reads
this column too.

looking cops is still single, but

To Investigate
U.S. Employees
WASHINGTON. — Many Gov-
ernment employees in Washing-
ton are burned up about the
constant investigations which
they undergo, They feel that a
certain amount of supervision is
necessary in time of war, but
now it is approaching the stage,
according to complaints, where
there will soon be two investi-
gators for every employee. (In-
vestigator No, 2 is there to check
on investigator No, 1.)
Now the Public Buildings Ad-
ministration, which is charged
with the protection of Federal
buildings, has issued a new order
that all employees in buildings
which it controls must be re-in-
vestigated,
War agencies are number one
on the new check-up list.
Each department must make
a “blanket certification” that all
of its employees are loyal. They
were told to check their em-
ployees, social security numbers,
height, weight, nicknames, etc.
It seems that some Govern-
ment agencies have thrown up
their hands at the constant re-
quest for employee checks and
haye hired private investigation
bureaus to investigate loyalty at
a fee of $3 a head.
Some comment has been made
to the effect that this might
be a matter for the Ramspeck
(Duly acknowledged by sald parties.)
Investigators to peer into.

WELFARE NEWS
What WPA End
Means to Welfare
The end of the W.P.A. early
this month has added a few
more responsibilities to the De-
partment of Welfare, and has
accelerated the trend away from
the “public charity” angle to-
wards broader outlook as
overseer of the general welfare
of the City’s population.
The care of children in day
nurseries has fallen to the de-
partment. With more working
mothers expected to take their
Places at the machines for war
production this will become an
increasingly important part of
the department's activities. A
new section has been set up
under Helen Harris of the
Mayor's Committee for the War-
time Care of Children at Central
Building. Seventeen of the chil-
drens’ day nurseries which the
W-P.A. used to maintain have
been incorporated as the nucleus
of a setup which is expected to
expand rapidly, The cost to the
City isn’t very high as the nur-
series are operated by private
agencies, under the supervision
of Welfare Department which is
charged with approving their
budgets and supervision to as-
sure compliance with the health
and social welfare laws. The
cost is split three ways, with
the City and the State each giy-
ing one-third, and the balance
being made up by the sponsor-
ing agency.
The four dental clinics which
the W.P.A. ran have also been
taken over, but this isn’t much
more than a bookkeeping
change as the City has always
been paying a large part of the
operating expenses of these clin-
ics, and now it will have to meet
a few more salaries and pay the
rent for clinic space.
Sewing Project
The end of the W-P.A. sew
ing project has resulted in an
other change in procedure. For- |
merly, the Welfare Department
used to purchase cloth which
was made into garments by the
W.P.A, sewers and distributed to
relief clients. Now a cash pay-
ment for clothing is added to
the individual budgets.
The increase in case load with
the end of Federal
wasn't very high
Figures of the department
show that the absorption of re-|
Nef recipients from the W.P.A
was hardly higher than the nor-
mal number of new cases which
came in regularly as a result of
the 18-month limit on W-P.A.|
employment. |
School Lunches
The School Lunch program is
the one which will add the
greatest load to Welfare. About
65,000 children from underpriv-
ileged families are now receiy-
ing free lunches and milk which
is provided from City funds, but
distributed by W.P.A. personnel
The Mayor has been in touch
with Washington about this and
indications are that the silua-
tion will be reversed. The Fed-
eral Government will pay for
the food. The Department of
Welfare will provide the labor
for the distribution. This means
that about 1,000 workers, lab-
orers, kitchen workers and help-
ers will be needed, The cost of
this program has been fairly
equally divided between labor
and food expenses, so that the
financial setup will be about
the same. The Federal Gov-
ernment is carrying on this pro-
gram until July 1, when the
City will in all probability take
over. :
Investigators Get
A Break
Now the Investigators get
their break, There's a new sy
tem in the department. Nope,
they don't get rid of their
clerical duties, but the system
has been streamlined to cut
down the amount of paper work
they have to turn out and gives
them a chance to get out every
now and then and drop in to
see how the cases are getting
along.
Here’s a brief resume ef the
Researeel
|
1—Assistance of all types may
now be authorized for a full
year.
2—The case load has been cut
down to 75 from the old burden
of 85.
3—Statistical reporting has
been simplified to cut out five
statistical forms, 11 worksheets,
and 11 statistical summaries
from worksheets.
4—Relief issuance has been
simplified with the O.K. of the
State Department of Social Wel-
fare and the State Department
of Audit and Control. Relief
rolls will be consolidated and in-
vestigation reports made simpler,
Must Still Dive
But the Investigators will still
have to dive into the files when
they want anything and will
have to manage without the
clerical help they still need.
All cases have to be visited in
accordance with the Social Wel-
fare Law: Old Age Assistance
and aid to the Blind, at least
once every six months; Home
Relief and Aid to Dependent
Children, at least once every
three months.
Choral Group
The Department choral group
needs more people who want to
let out with the vocal chords.
Arrangements are being made
for the group to visit Govern-
ment hospitals in the metro-
politan area and entertain hos-
pitalized service men. The group
meets every Thursday at 5:30
pm, at the Second Floor of 902
Broadway.

Estimate Board
To Reconsider
"Dead" Park Bill
The “park per annum” bill,
which had been killed by the
Board of Estimate, was back on
the calendar last week for re-
consideration. This bill would
place Park Department employ-
ees now on a day-to-day basis
into the annual-pay class; more-
over, it provides certain changes
in the pay structure of park em-
ployees, and authorizes the Parks
Commissioner to impose the
wearing of uniforms on em-
ployees,
Subject of violent controversy,
the measure was passed by the
City Council, after Commis-
sioner Robert Moses had put in
@ personal appearance asking for
its passage, The Board of Esti-
mate turned thumbs down on it,
then reversed itself and stated
that it would take the bill up
once again. It was not immedi-
ately clear what had brought this
change of heart, but it is as-
sumed that Moses may have per-
sonally intervened,
Among the employee organiza-
tions in the Parks Department,
one fayored the bill, three op-
posed it. The favoring organ-
ization was the Greater New
York Park Employees Associa~
tion, Opposing organizations
were the Civil Service Forum;
the Civil Service League; and
the State, County, and Muni-
cipal Workers (CIO). The
SCMWA planned this week to
barrage the Estimate Board
with appeals not to pass the
bill,

ris feels that the employee is es-

gives the department the green
signal.
‘The department head next gets
in touch with the local board and
reqests deferment for the em-
ployee. If the local board re-
fuses, the department will take
an appeal, or ask selective ser-
vice headquarters to give consid-

In the case of State employees,
each department acts on its own.
‘The set-up for Federal employees
is more like that of the City. If
a department head feels the em-
ployee is essential, it asks a
special committee set up for the
purpose whether it may request
deferment, If the answer is yes,
the proper papers are submitted
to the local board.

Vacation Note
Your vacation this year is go-
ing to begin in the middle of the
week, and end during the week.
And it’s going to be scheduled to
avoid travel over a holiday week-
end. The Post Office Depart-
ment, like all other Government

Now Its the Subs
Post Office men always have
an issue. Now it's the poor lowly
substitute who's getting most of
the attention. Lot's of men think
the subs ought to be eliminated
and made permanent.
If they can get together what
with that ban on traveling
around, the Joint Conference is
planning an Eastern Seaboard
Substitutes Conference to start
the ball rolling to get them on
the permanent roster. Plans call
for the conference to be held in
New York City about the end of
June.
On the Local Front
First Officer of the Joint
Conference to get this call to the
colors is Max Rosenson, who is a
hubby, president of Branch 36
Credit Union, auditor and dele-
gate of Station “B.” With all
that experience he should be a
valuable man to the Army. Uncle
Sam has already taken up the
option on him and he’s walking
around with furlough papers in
his pocket . . . the boys are go-
ing to give him a big “shindig”
before he leaves.
John J. Larson, veteran dele-
gate from “T,” is retiring from
the system. His social obligations
are being taken over by Oscar
Ganesberg.
From the railway men we learn
that William R. Mitiguy was in-
stalled for the third time — get-
ting to be a habit—as prexy of
New York City Branch of the
Railway Mail Association.
And we've just learned that
another man owes his life to the

hospital, A call for blood donors
went out, and now he’s at home
nearing a rapid recovery. The
men who came through when
they were needed, all from his
station are: Samuel Weiss, Her-
man Hi ll, John Devine, Leo
Smith, Max Alberts, Timothy
Mitchell, John Monahan and
Samuel Scheps.

Perhaps the biggest Victory
Garden on Government prop-
erty is that at the little “Fed-
eral city” at Suitland, Md.,
just outside Washington. There,
600 Census and Navy employ-
ces have combined to farm a
lt-acre tract. . . . Significant
new, long-range development
here is the decision of House
Appropriations Committee to
build up a staff of Executive
branch experts to help in its
investigations. Eventually, it
hopes to have a card file of 500
men whom it can call upon for
particular investigations. In
other words, the Committee is
getting ready to subject Fed-
