Eisenhower Submits Kaplan Plan
For Co-Ordinating Pensions
With Social Security System

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 — The
Bisenhower sent
to Congress its proposal to pro-
vide greater retirement benefita
for Federal employees and

erensed protection for their survi-
vors through a degree of coor-
@ination beiween the Civil Serv-
ice Retirement and the Sovial Se-
curity systems,

The proposed bill would carry
out the recommendation of the
Kaplan Committee on Retirement
Policy for Federal Personnel,
which was established by the 82nd
Congress, and of which H. Eliot
Kaplan, former New York Deputy
Comptroller, was chairman

Philip Young, Chairman of the
Civil Service Commision and the
President's adviser on
management, id that, on the
average, the proposed legislation
would increase retirement benefits
for Federal employees after they
Teach nge 65 by bout 8 percent,
An employee's widow and children
would have the greater survivor
benefits provided by Socin) Secur-
ity. Disubility retirement ennul-
es also would be increased.

Mr. Young emphasized that the
Proposal will not merge the two

to the CSR fund at the rate of

‘The increase in retirement al-
lowance will come about through
the payment of both CSR and
Social Security benefits When an
employee reaches 65. If an em-
ployee retires under the CSR be-
fore that age, he will receive his
CSR allowance alone, At age 65
his CSR allowance will be re-
duced but his eligibility at that
time for Social Security old-age
benefits will more than offset the
decresse.

Why Se Many

In N¥C the Social Security dis-

of veterans as employees, parti-
culerly departments in which the
percentage of veterans runs from
70 pervent up. The Police Depart-

the nearly 22,000 policemen are
veterans, The Pire Department has
9,541 firemen, about 6,500 of them

Sanitation, with about 13,000
sanitationmen, Classes B and C,
has 9.100 veterans, Those are jobs
from which recrultment Is made

month, Under the new proposal
he would receive about 6185 &
month and, In addition, his
wife could also receive a Social
Security pension of half the value
of his Social Security pension,

Under the proposed combined
coverage, survivor benefits are
even more advantageous, Mr,
Young satd. An actual case taken
from the Commission's records i-
lustrates these increased benefits
Under the proposal,

An employee whose final aver-
age salary wan $4,028, with 17
years’ Federal service, died leav-
ing his wife, 41, with two children,
14 and 8 The widow now receives
about $1,108 for four years, when
the first child becomes 18; 8831
for the next six years, until the
second child is 18; and $554 for
the rest of her life, unless she re-
remarries, The new plan would
give her about $2,834 « year dur-
Ing the first four years; $2,454 for

the next six years; $534 for 14
years thereafter, until she be-

WANTED! |
MEN-WOMEN

between 18 and 55 to prepare now for U. S. Civil Service
tests in and around New York, During 1956 there will be
many appointments to U. S. Civil Service jobs in many
parts of the country.

These will be jobs paying as high as $377.00 a month to
start. They are well paid in comparison with the same
kinds of jobs in private industry. They offer more security
than is usual in private employment, Many of these jobs
require little or no experience or specialized education,

BUT, in order to get one of these jobs, you must pass a
Civil Service test. The competition in these tests is intense.
In some tests as few as one out of five applicants pass!
Anything you can do to increase your chances of p. gis
well worth your while.

Franklin Instiute is a privately-owned firm which helps
many pass these tests each year. The Institute is the larg-
est and oldest school of this kind, and it is not connected
with the Government.

To get full information free of charge on these Govern-

ment jobs fill out coupon, stick to postcard, and mail at

once—TODAY. The institute will also show you how you

can qualify yourself to pass these tests, Don’t delay—act
iow!

It's Time This Mockery
Of Civil Service Stopped

he National Civil Service League has put new life into

its long campaign to have postmasterships really
brought under civil service.

An article by Gustay C. Herz in the current issue of
Good Government, the league's bi-monthly, clearly states
the familiar need, Mr. Herz was assistant chief counsel
to the Senate subcommittee on Federal Manpower, and
former consultant on personnel management, Post Office
Department, He writes that postmasterships will never be
filled on a strictly merit basis until Congress itself sets up
the same type of civil service appointment procedure for
postmasters as for any other important non-policy-making
officials, i.e., without the requirement of Senate confirma-
tion.

Inc.
WEekman 3-6010

What a farce is the so-called competitive method of |
filling the choice postmaster jobs the civil service employ-
ees, in particular those in the Post Office Department it-
pell, have long known,

$119 to $11,800 a Year

What happens, actually, In regard to the choice post-
masterships, those that pay amply, up to $14,800 a year,
fs that without political clearance one does not get ap-
pointed, no matter how well he fares in an exam. In fact,
Mr. Herz charges that an accommodating Civil Service
Commission, confronted with the fact that the political
ehoice is not high enough on the list, will make a new
appraisal, and behold, a loser turns out to be the winner!
Mr. Herz notes the disgust with which the Commission
feels obliged to perform this act of outrageous servility,

There are postmasterships and postmasterships, Some
pay peanuts a year, are only part-time, and may be filled
on regular course through noncompetitive exams, At $419
a year, jobs are not plums, But when the race gets into
the stakes class, the politicians get interested enormously.
An acting postmaster is politically appointed, an exam is
held, competition is self-restricted because outsiders know
that they have the chance of the conventional snowball,
and the Merit System suffers a repetition of its worst ex-
isting demorit.

It is time that postmastorship appointments should be
made under conditions of real competition, the race hon-
estly open to all.

Here's wishing the league lots of luck. It can use all
ft can get because of the opposition with which {t is con-
fronted—first legislative and second political, Only the
reformers and the public want the improvement, Too bad
the league has only the blessing of the vast majority, and

sion would remain dormant while
he was working under Sorin) Se-
curity. When he has paid his share
into Social Security he could re-
tire and collect both his State
pension and Social Security.

The State, and particularly the
Department of Mental Hygiene,
would get the better of the bar-
gain, by keeping highly skilled,
eMicient, experienced workers for
10 to 15 years more. It costs the
State considerable to recruit, train
and eductte a new employee.

Question, Please

WHAT would be meant by the
Maximum benefits, under Boctal
Becurity, compared to the bene-
Bits based on the supposed average
Btate pay of $3,200 » year? LPC,

Answer — That the benefits
Would be larger, on the basis of
Maximum taxed aulary, now #4,-
B00 & year, representing an 604
Sex, at the present 2 percent rate
for the employee (and amploy-
Or). The benefits rise as pay ap-

maximum taxed amount,

Rot proportionately, since Bo-
Wal Beourity benefits are heavily
Meighted in favor of the low-paid

In the case of « widow with more
than two children, however, the
benefit, at $3.200 pay, would be
the same as at $4,200, Le, maxi-
mum of $200 @ month,

Answer — Beverance pay, as
granted in private Industry under

sidered income for Federal tax
purposes, and is taxable, How-
armed forces separation pay,

which is of the same nature, tx an
@xception, by special provision in
the Internal Revenue Code, and

j @rading set up premium pay for
certain types of laborers, such as
those who work tn sewers or on
highways. This is a degree of dif-
ferentation, though an insufficient
one, say labor groups that want
to be paid prevailing rates. Those
commercial rates are higher.

Law Brought Benefits

‘The Labor Law has done more
to increase pay of the groups that
it affects, than any other Jaw en-
acted, or any series of actions
taken by the City, even the re-
cent adoption of the Career and
Salary Plan.

Tt ts not so much = question
whether laborers do or don"t come
under the Labor Law, but whether
employee policy should be to rely

| on the Labor Law, or agreed grad~

ing. The present policy of the N¥C
Administration is to favor the
agreement method,

The laborers’ case was before
the Appellate Division, but before
any decision could be handed
down, a settlement was reached,

With auto-enginemen the situa-
tion was different. The Compt- |
roller’s office, in @ preceding Ad- |
ministration, held that auto-en-
ginemen do not come under the

dustry, and motor vehicle oper=
ators who drive passenger crate in
City employ,

Difference Noted

Even City officials point out that
® man who drives a passenger car
for the City does different work
than one who drives a truck, but
say that an all-around sohition
is to put them on the sume basis,

State Employees Interested

Meanwhile the grading in both
eases stands,

In regard to the Jaborers, one
union is considering a suit to re=
quire the City to pay the prevails
ing rates, regardless of grading
The Court Of Appeals has held
that if & title 6 properly included
tn the uraded service, the Labor
Law does not apply. The grading
is done under the authority of @
Constitutional provision; the La
bor Law is exclusively statutory,

Meanwhile employees of other
lopalities, and of the State itself,
have eyed the good results, on the
score of pay, that have been ob-
tained by NYC employees under
the Labor Law, and wonder why

Progress in Treating
Mental Ills

members of psychotherapy groups |
from hostile, fearful, bucking to
cooperative, confident, interested,

but as soon as the medication be-

the patients who had held

Court Decision

to Appeal
That Bonus

Is No Part of Differential Pay

It's settled that a NYC worker
entitled to the difference between
hin armed forces pay and his high-
er City aniary ts entitled to full
eredit for the increments he would
have received, but the question
whether he can get the bonus, too,
fa still in litigation, The bonus
was the cost-of-living addition to
poy that the City granted, to
stimulate recruitment during |
World War 11, when private In-|
dustry was offering tempting pay.
The bonus normally would
amount to much more than the in-
erements.

The Appellate Division, Second |

Department, has Just affirmed the
finding of the courts below that
Martin Spencer, a social tnvent!-
gator, ts entitled to the inere-
ments, There was no dispute over
Prospective aalary, based on ac-
cumulation of increments; the
issue was whether the past incre-
ments, during the period of ser-
Vice in the Army, should be credit-
ad to the employer,

Gerosa Gives
Investigators
Promise of Aid

NYC Comptroller Lawrence E.
Gerosa, after conferring with «
Gelegation of investigators who
work in the Bureau of Excise
‘Taxes, a part of his department,
referred to Victor J. Campione,
his administrative assistant, re-
quests made by the group for up-
ward reallocation, the adoption of

& revised classification for those |

Investigators generally, and in-

ereasing promotion opportunities, |

The delegation was headed by
Menry Feinstein, president of the
City Employees Union, Teamsters
International, and included Jack
Feldman and Abraham 6inerof-
aky

“The Comptroller was very gra-
elous and cooperative,” said Mr,
Feinstein, on emerging from the
conference, "We ere extremely
srateful to him for his unfailing
Indulgence.and courtesy.”

The men who accompanied Mr.
Feinstein are members of the Bu-
Teau's Investigator chapter in the
union,

Gerosa’s Assurances
The Comptroller assured the

delegation that every effort would |

be made to grant the requested
salary increases, and inaugurate
the requested broad promotion
epportunities, with the immediate
result of ralsing the investigator
ttle, n @ reclassification, to senior
investigator, The unton would
have the investigator title remain,
but only for recruiting new em-
ployees, the presently employed
Investigators be! raised to aen-
jor investigator, and a new pro-

Mes would be chief of investiga

The plan for investigators in
the bureau, sald Mr, Felnstein,
Parallels the one now in use in
She Personne) Department iteelt,

By a vote of 4-to-1 the court
held that the bonus was some-
thing special, to which only those

actually working on their City
Jobs were entitled. Zelman and
Zelman, attorneys for the plain-
tiff, eny that there fs no legal
difference between the Increment
} and the bonus, for both were pay
increases, although the bonus was
of the revocable type. No revoca-
tion took piace, however, as basic
| pay was Inter adjusted for City
| employees, to inchide the former
| bonus,

| ‘The Spencer case ts of conalder-
able importance, the City main-
| tains, because many cases al-
ready have been begun against
the City,

The law provides that the pay
differential applies to those who
were in a reserve force or corps in
10942, hence the benefit ts not one
which all reservists may claim, al-
though any period spent in the
armed forces since 1942 could be
deducted, and many employees
were In military service from 1942
to 1945 and Iater,

When the Spencer ease first
was presented, the Municipal
Court found in favor of the pialn-
tiff. Only a question of law was
at stake at that time. The sult was
one for a declaratory Judgment on
an agreed state of facts,

Change of Mind

The City appealed, and the Ap-
pellate Division sent the case back
to the Municipal Court for trial,
because by this time the City had
come to think that there were
fasues of fact involved, One of
them dealt with the appropriation
under which the bonus was paid,
since no specific amount was
assigned to any particular budget
line, but ® lump-sum appropria~
tion was to be proportioned among
employees on the basia of
chedule. The Budget Director had

charge of the apportionment. But

Mr. Spencer's attorneys say that
| the Budget Director ts indistin-
| gulshable from the Board of Esti-
mate, whose appointee he Ja, and
from the City itself.

‘There followed the Judicial de.
| ternaation that the appropria-

tion for the bonus was legally

made, Mr, Bpencer expected to get
the full $1,180 he asked in the law
sult, $700 of which was bonus.
However, the Appellate Division
modified the order of the eourt
below, to exclude the bonus, while
affirming the granting of the In-
erements,

Cltes State Law

The rights that Mr, Spencer
asserta are those his attorneys
any he ts entitled to under Bec-
Hon 345 ef the State Milltary
Law. The attorneys will ask the
Appellate Division for le to
appeal to the Court of Appeals.

The dissent in the Appellate
| Division — the vote in favor of
| Mr, Spencer on all counts — was
made by Justice Philip Kleinfeld.

granted by the State and its com-
munities, to relieve distress arise
ing from the dollar's shrunken

maximum quoted amounts to
about $1,300 « year,

the titles, proved a feat of leger-
demain, The bill {s offered to res-
cue NYC from a dilemma,

‘The salaries of the employees
j are actually set by the Board of

Any New York State civil ser-
vice employee who has not yet en-
rolled may apply for coverage
through the State group. Those
already enrolled on a direct-pay-

Blue-Shield

ment basis may transfer to the
group and so obtain the conven<
Jence of payroll deduction as well
as the advantages of lower group
rates. Maternity benefits are avail-
able to the wife under the family
contract,

Employees already enrolled may
retain their present contract, no
matter what it is, or Increase it to
Blue Cross plus the Blue Shicid
surgical-medical plan. If, for in=
stance, they have Blue Cross hos-
| pitalization alone, they may add

Blue Cross hospitalization and the
Blue Shield surgical plan may in=
crease their Blue Shield to surgi~
cal-medical coverage, Persons not
previously enrolled are required
to enroll in Blue Cross plus the
Blue Shield surgical-medical plan,

we have used only entrance level positions since they are likely to
be the most populous and are the most easily identified. These are

Practically without exception !t will be noted, the Federal Gov-
ernment pays more. Even the $300 salary adjustment that has been
proposed will not bring State salaries Into line, To keep State salaries
1a good adjustment in the Inbor market @ larger raise is necessary.

In addition to paying higher salaries there are also certain outer:
benefits received by Federal employees that are not available to State |
employees,

Straight Time vs, Time and One Half

At the present time State employees ay well as employees in the
Subdivisions receive either straight time cash pay or compensatory
time off when overtime ts worked. Those Federal employees whove
basic salary rate ia not above GS-9 ($5,440 to $6,250) receive time
and one-half if the work ts officially ordered and approved although
o¢casionul overtime may be handled by compensatory time off,

Time and one-half for overtime work has been and is one of
the goals of the CSEA and is a part of its platform.

Federal employees recelye 10 percent premium pay for regularly
acheduled work between 6 P.M. and 6 AM, State institutions operate
around the clock, but st straight time and we know of no subdivision
that pays a shift premium,

If holiday work ts not overtime and doesn't exceed eight hours
It ts paid for at double time in the Pederal service. Surely it is worth
more than just a day's pay to have to work on Christmas yet for
most State institutional employees it has to be just another day's
work.

‘These are all meaningful fringe benefits, When they are coupled
With a substantial salary differential it becomes even more clear that,
there is a need for adjustment in working conditions and salaries for |
amployees both of the State and tts subdivisions.

Civil Service Unit
Decries Travel Rates

ALBANY, Jan, 30 — Commerce
chapter, CSEA spoke out for o
more realistic palicy on State
travel allowances at @ luncheon
meeting January 21 at the Asso-
elation auditorium.

Two resolutions were introduced
at the meeting asking for sweep-
ing changes on allowances for
employees traveling on the State's
business. Philip Florman, a travel
editorial director, presented
resolution to the effect that the
State should set aside a reserve
fund in each department from
which employees could draw
money In advance of trips. Under
the present system, it was pointed
out, employees must “foot the
bill” themselve and must often
wait weeks to be reimbursed. Por
those tn the fleld for long perlods,
this often results in a real finan-
cial burden. The resolution called

The busines session was tuken

for altering geographic

for the issuance of credit cards
or some similar arrangement for
hotel rooms, thus eliminating this
out-of-pocket expense. The reso-
jution was unanimously approved
by the group, and will be referred
to the CSEA and to the State
oes office for considera-

jon.
Another resolution by betty!
business consultant, die

an eye towards bringing it up to
the level of large corporations and
manufacturing concerns, It sug
gested that a $7 a day minimum
allowance for meals and an $8 a
day minimum for hotel rooms be
set up. It stated that many com=
Baas had been received from
tate employees concerning hard-
ships wrought by the present
$6 maximum hotel rate allowance,
Te was felt that this was inade-
quate to get a single private room
at that rate.

A feature of the meeting was a
talk on Social Security coordina
tion by Charles Dubusr, chairman
of the Associntion’s insurance
committee. Mr, Dubuar explained
the various plans under consider=
ation for coordinating the Fed
