Health Dept.
Requests Many

The Health Department tenta-
tive budget for 1943-4 tendered
to the Budget Director by Ernest
Li Stebbins, Commissioner, opti-
mistically asks for an increase of
over $900,000 in personal services.
Despite hints fom City Hall
that department heads should be
modest in their demands, the
Health budget calls for a large
number of new positions, some in
the upper salary brackets.
Here are some of the new posts
which the department would like
to fill:

Other new posts ave: 93 public
health nurses, 74 dental hygienists,
180 clerks, 22 typists, 11 telephone
operators, and 13 office appliance
operators, and numerous other
positions,
It is anticipated, however, that
when the Budget Bureau and
Hoard of Estimate get. through
pruning, the Health Department
will have to figure out a way to
get along with far less workers,
needed, and hold on to his civil
service righte,
Prior to introducing the meas-
ures, President Cashmore sent a
message to all other members of
the Board of Estimate advising
them of the resolutions which he
was to intreduce and explaining
the background of his proposals.
Palma Agrees
Borough President Paima's of-
fice in Richmond, thought that the
resolutions were a move in. their
right direction, but felt that they
fell a bit short of meeting the
needs of the war program.
At least one employee organiza
tion was recently organized to at-
tempt to obtain the right for City
employees to obtain duration
leaves of absence from their jobs
in order to take higher paid and
more vital work in war industry.
Already Have the Right
Concerning the second point in
Mr, Cashmore's first resolution
allowing City workers to accept
part-time war jobs after working
hours—it was pointed out that 0
recent law decision by the Court
of Appeals already grants that
right to employces, In effect, the
decision says they have always
had that right. Moreover, it is
hard to seo why it is necessary to
pass a resolution allowing City
workers to work on a farm during
their vacation period, There is
nothing in the City Charter which
prevents them from doing just
that.
It’s Like This—But It’s
Like That: Abe Kasoff
Abe Kasoff, who got kicked
out ef the AFL because he didn’t
pay his dues as head of the or-
ganization listed as Sanitation
Men, Department of Sanitation,
has been justifying himself to
the men.
But Abe hasn’t kept the state-
ments straight. What he tells the
men in the department is one
thing; what he says in his cor-
respondence, sometimes quite
another,
Observe:
Abe issued a circular heaping
abuse on his former union affill-
ation, Here are his exact words
‘In May, 1941, the Drivers’ Or-
ganization (that's Kasoff), along
with other locals, were practical-
ly foreed into joining the S. C.
and M, E, of the A. F. of L. The
Drivers were opposed to it .
They politely told the Committee
that organized labor cannot sup-
port civil service employees.”
What he told AFL
That's what he told to the pub-
lic, But here's what he told to
the AFL, in a letter dated Aug-
ust 11, 1942, and addressed to
Arnold Zander, president of the
AFL's State, County and Munici-
pal Employees:
“I have no quarrel with the
American Federation of Labor,
On the other hand, I can assure
you that I am a great believer
and was among the first to ad-
vocate that all join an organ

That statement hardly
with Abe's contention that he
"forced" to join,
‘That Boxing Bout
In a public statement made in
jibes
November, Abe Kasoff urged em-
ployees to purchase tickets to a
boxing bout he was running, He
stated that the proceeds of the
show would be given to the ors
organization's death benefit fund,
He didn’t tell the public that
he was holding that boxing bout
in order to straighten out debts,
ov because he wanted the money
his per capita tax to the
in that letter to Zander,
. when we hold our fights
in November 70 per cent
of the net receipts are to como
to my organization to help me
out of indebtedness, If this
affair should become the success
which I believe it will be, I
should at least be able to have
the organization functioning free
from debt and able, for the first
time, to start from scratch, If
and when I reach that point, you
don't honestly believe that I
would fail in my obligation of
paying the per capita tax to our
parent organization,”’
In another letter to Zander,
dated December 3, 1942, Kasoff
‘ote
successfully held boxing
bouts for the department em-
ployees, as a result of which I
am pleased to report to you that
I have been able to so straighten

as to be able to resume negotia-
tions with you in the hope that
you wjll consider fayovably reins

May Appoint Specials
‘As the most recent appointment
of rookie cops has about exhaust-
ed the available list of men who
are not classified in 1-A, the Po-
lice Commissioner last week asked
the corporation counsel whether it
would be possible to appoint men
to the police force who had made
lower grades on their examina-
tion.
For some time, men on the Spe-
cial Patrolman list have been try-
ing to get their list used for ap-
pointments to the regular police
force. Police officials had ex-
plained that we're waiting to hear
from Albany about pending legi
lation which would permit the hi
ing of “temporary” and ‘duration
police before taking any action.
The commissioner's action may
mean that the forgotten men on
the special list may soon find
themselves wearing the badges
and getting the better pay and
other advantages of the regular
police force,
Must Wear Uniforms
The “uniform” clause in the
bill, which would require the men
to buy uniforms and make it pos-
sible to penalize them for failure
to appear in uniform when or-
dered, was also attacked.
Pointing out that a uniform
would cost about $40, they said
they found it difficult to meet
their present living expenses, but
would be willing to purchase uni-
forms if they were granted a
wage adjustment.
The Greater New York Park
Employees Association came out
in favor of the proposed measure,
saying that it is willing to
accept the salary and other pro-
visions of the bill in order to have
the security which a per annum
status would provide, Once
it had gained that, it de-
clared it would be in a better
position to work for salary in-
creases,
Three Groups Against
Appearing against the measur
were: The SCMWA, the i
Sevice League, and the Civil Sery-
ice Forum.
Hughes’ View
Speaking for the Civil Service
John J. Hughes, presi-
Sharkey for
his efforts in obtaining a per an-
num status for the parks em-
ployees, He pointed out that
there had been no opportunity for
representatives of the affected
employees to meet with Council
members and iron out the contro-
versial parts of the bill, and that
a measure incorporating the ideas
of the Council and the employees
was the only logical solution.
Hughes voiced objection to
the “uniform provision,” and the
reduced maximum salaries for at-
tendants and watchmen.
Bigel’s View
Jack Bigel, district organizer of
the SCMWA, presented a-number
ot arguments against the bill in
its present form. He
—questioned the necessity of
cutting the present maximum of
$1,800 for watchmen and attend-
ants to $1,500 and $1,620;
—argued against the $1,700 ceil-
ing on assistant gardener's
wages;
—challenged the limiting of gar-
deners to 1% increments while
other competitive appointees get
4 increments;
—requested the withholding of
action on the requirement for the
men to purchase uniforms unless
wage adjustments are made to ab-
sorb, the extra cost.
‘The principle of putting the per
diem workers on an annual basis
was endorsed by the SCMWA, and
hope expressed that a mutually
satisfactory bill could be drawn
up.
Spokesmen for the Civil Service
Forum in general made the same
points advanced by the SCMWA
and the Civil Service League.

Manpower Setup
Grows Serious
‘The manpower situation in the
Fire Department is growing seri-
ous. A spokesman for the depart-
ment explained to The LEADER
last week that fhere were over
900 vacancies at present.
The list of unfilled posts runs
all the way up to the rank of
Deputy Chief, which is 3 short;
Battalion Chief, 7 vacancies; Cap
tain, 33; and Lieutenant, 64;
while the department lacks about
800 uniformed firemen,
The last eligible list has been
exhausted, and there is no legal
way to add to the personnel,
There has been no need to cur-
tail fire protection by laying up
apparatus because of lack of man-
power but any further drop in the
staff might have serious effects.
Tt is expected that the passage
of bills in Albany which will al-
low the hiring of ‘‘duration’’ and
temporary firemen will alleviate
the manpower shortage.

What’s the Fuss About
In Fire Department?
The dailies last week flared up
with the story of correspondence
between Fire Commissioner Pat-
tick Walsh ard Vincent Kane,
president of the Uniformed Fire-
men’s Association. Here's the
background, together with some
new angles:
All Fire Commisstoner Patrick
Walsh knows is that he has his
orders; firemen just have to de-
vote seven hours a week in fir
houses in an off-day sort of way
merely in case of a possible air
raid on the city.
On the other ,hand, there's the
attitude of the Uniformed Fire-
men’s Association, whose presi-
dent, Vincent Kane, contends that
this V-plan is utterly ridiculous,
that there's no need for it, that it
isn't at all a war emergency meas-
ure as the Fire Department de-
clares.
Shortage Called Real Reason
“Tt’s all due to a shortage of
manpower in the department thar
existed before Adolf Hitler even
decided to conquer the whole
world," according to a spokesman
in the UFA this week.
Firemen, the UFA spokesman
points out, object to spending
seven hous in firchouses not be
cause they don’t think there's the
possibility of an air raid. Rather,
that the department should long
‘ago have staffed itself sufficiently
to make such demands unneces-
sary at present.
Commissioner Walsh counters
that, ‘I've said all I intend to oa
the matter; no other arrange-
ment’s possible.” He admits he'll
go only this far: firemen can have
fellow employees substitute for
them on any particular shift.
“Of course,” he adds with a
smile, “it'll mean paying back the
fellow who substitutes and that
probab!y won't work out so well.”
What It Used To Be
Commissioner Walsh refers you
to the hours firemen used to put
in on the job in order to show
you that they're practically
coddled today, though he doesn’t
use that word.
Firemen have been regulated by
the three-platoon system lately.
which means that a fireman either
has an 8 a.m. to 4 pm,, 4 p.m. to
midnight, or midnight to 8 a.m
shift, in rotating style. Every six
“tricks’ he is entitled to 32 hours
off.
“Contrast
40 years agi
is with what it was
hold Walsh, ‘'Then
we used to work 21 hours a day
and sometimes all day long.
You'd be lucky to get one out of
every ten days off. Back in 190%,
one day off in five was considered
good, Getting 12 hours off thres
times a month was good, too.
Sometimes you'd get 36 hours off
three times a month and you'd be
envied.”
The two- platoon system, with
shifts of from 9 a.m, to 6 p.m,
and 6 p.m. to 9 a.m, brought «
definite advancement, Walsh tells
you, with 24 hours off every sixth
day. Then more men were added
to the force and this was elimi-
nated, ‘‘Firemen didn’t have to
work 24 hours straight at any
time," he says.
Walsh declares the three-platoon
system is not only law but quite
beneficial tor the average fireman.
Going back to the UFA, the
union contends that either the en-
trance age ought {o be lifted to
take in men vom between 35
and 49, instead of limiting it’to
29, or at least more men should
be inducted into the department to
fill military replacements—even. if
only on a temporary basis.
‘The contention is that it's man-
power, not eiergency, if you want
to be blunt about it. If you waut
to be still more blunt, one UFA
spokesman says that Chief Walsh
has raised « strictly ‘phoney’?
patriotic issue, He continues:
“What happened 40 years ago is
no criterion to go by no%

this: Firemen questioned by ‘The
LEADER on this issue at random
“froze up" or would speak only
with the assurance that it would
be completely off the record.
‘They're in terrible fear of reprisal
if they say anything, even though
it may be much in their own in-
terests. ‘This attitude reaches up
until you hit the top few officials
in the UFA, who are the only ones,
apparently, who aren't too fearful
about opening their mouths.
‘A healthy condition, Commis-
sioner!

Says Commissioner
ALBANY — Correction Commis-
sioner John A, Lyons this week
denied reports that Green Hayen
Prison, the State's new $8,000,000
unoccupied prison in Dutchess
County, will be turned over to the
Federal Government for a prison
camp, He added also there are
no present plans for operation of
the institution by the State,
new executive budget contains an
item of $66,000 for maintenance
of the buildings this year,
There were reports that between
400 and 500 beds, all labelled U.S.
y, had been moved into the

of the structures are the

21 men, has 14
for 2,016 prisoners,
Former Governor Lehman and
the Legish ded to defer
the opening of the prison and
save $200,000 a year to staff the
institution, Commissioner Lyons
said since then the population of
other prisons has declined, When
Green Haven was planned th
population was 18,700 in all pris
ons and increasing 1,000 a year,
It is now down to 16,800 and de-
creasing Green Haven was built
to relieve Sing Sing, but Com-
missioner Lyons said prisoners
now can be shifted from there to
other eperating prisons.

State Clerk List Appears,
Containing 26,202 Names
One of the largest civil service
lists ever to appear in the entire
history of civil service saw the
light of day last week. It is the
junior clerk list, providing the
staggering number of 26,202
rames for clerical positions in the
State and county service, First
500 names appear on Page 11.
The examination, an open-com-
petitive probe held on Oct. 4, 1941,
attracted no less than 50,147 appli-
cants, Figures show, that of these
50,000-odd, the final disposition
was made in the following man

Many In ikeay
The positions officially pay rrom
$900 to $1,400, The names on the
list seem to be about equolly di-
vided between men and women,
But because of the fact that so
many taking the test were young
people, it may be anticipated that
a large number of the men whose
names appear on the list are now
in the armed services; and so
most of the pusitions to become
available will go to women, Also,
the small salnry probably means
that lots of those on the list will
decline jobs that may be offered
to them, This has been the ex-
perience of the State Civil Sery-
ice Commission (and of the NYC
Commission, toc) in approaching
eligibles to accept jobs during re-
cent months.
However, the length of the list
would indicate that there will be
sufficient manpower and woman-
power available to take care of
the needs of State and County
departments for quite a while,

GOP May Alter Titles Employee Groups Planning
To Get Patronage
ALBANY. — Republican party
leaders have been furnished with
4 list of nearly 2,000 State civil
service positions, many of them in
brackets from $3,500 a year up-
wards, which they are scrutiniz-
ing for “validity and legality.”
“We believe that hundreds of
Democrats have been frozen into
their positions through the ma-
nipulation of civil service tests
which upon re-examination will
not stand the of the law,”
said Republican spokesmen.
The Jobs under suspicion came
to light during the investigation
of the Joint Legislative Committer
Investigating Civil Service, and the
list was compiled under the divec-
tion of Assemblyman Fred 8.
Hollowell, chairman.
test
Patronage Wanted
It was made plain that the ob-
jective of the party leadership is
to find jobs for the deserving
party workers back home in every
county in the State, but that the
tronage larder is much more
rven than was first supposed.
‘The GOP blames this upon ma-
neuvers of the Democrats by
which they were able in many in-
stances, they said, to freeze them-
selves into their jobs under the
protection of civil servi
“We already suspect that in too
many of these positions the rating
for experience played a dominant
part in the success of the appli-
cant in passing his examination,
We know that the oral examina-
tions also contributed in many
cases, Both of these devices are
open to manipulation and we
mean to find cut to what extent
they contributed to the success of
the candidate,”
Besides making inquiry to de-
termine how many persons may
have been “illegally” appointed
and thus lay the ground-work for
“invalidating” their tenure, the
GOP quest for jobs may take an-
other course,
‘Titles, Duties May Change
There is tatk that sometime be-
fore the session ends a bill may
be introduced to change the ti
and duties of many of the choice
positions, This would in etfect
abolish the job so far as the pr
ent occupant is concerned and he
would automatically yo upon a
“preferred” list for appointment
to a place under his old title—it
and when a vacancy should occur,
Tn his first executive budget,
Governor Dewey elfminated scores
and scores of line-item jobs filled
by civil rvice employees, In
their stead he substituted lump
sums for the operation of the di-
vision or bureau. This makes it
possible for the Chief Executiv:
the Budget Director and the De-
partment Head to determine what
jobs can be abolished and what
new ones can be created, together
with pay, necessary qualifications
and duties, without formal legis-
lative approval, The Governor
said that the lump sum method
is more practical and makes for
“flexibility” in the administration
of the activities involved,
What is going to happen, nobody
knows, But the fact is that GOP
leaders and legislators are making
an intensive quest for jobs for
their people.
To Unite in Pay Raise Drive
ALBANY.—Representatives of
us groups of State civil
service workers may unite in
agreement upon one proposal for
some kind of cost of living pay
increase in an effort to win some
“relief” before the 1943 legisla-
tive session closes,
This was the talk this week
among spokesmen for some of the
civil service employee organiza-
tions who each promote their
own legislative programs,
There are half a dozen pay-
increase bills in the Legislature
now. One of. them is for a flat
15 per cent pay boost; another
would affect only salaries under
$3,000; and there are bills to in-
crease the salary of custodians
and porters and charwomen to
$1,200—like the proposed increase
for minor clerical employees al-
ready advocated by Governor
Dewey,
Last year Governor Lehman re-
fused to approve a general pay
ierease for State workers and
turned thumbs down on.a cost-
of-living formula advanced by the
Association of State Civil Service
Employees
Why the Drive?
Fearful now that all efforts to
win any kind of additional pay
increments to meet mounting: liv-
ing costs will be fruitless if the
various employee groups each
promote a different kind of bill,
the drive is to get united action
on some one plan, There is con-
siderable doubt that Governor
Dewey will be favorably disposed

YOU CAN ENLIST FOR AVIATION if you're 17 years old.

Training Leading to Air Commissions
EVEN IF YOUR SCHOOLING HAS BEEN NEGLECTED,
you can still get a commission in the Army Air Forces... Army
technical train’ng leading to a commission is now open to men who
make extra-good records in the Air Forces technical schools for
enlisted men, regardless of previous education, The Army considers
proficiency and general aptitude as substitutes for educational qual’+
fications... Many Army schools will furnish candidates for t'e
new program: two of the schools are in aviation armament, two in
aerial photography, four in radio mechanics and engineering, 26 in
airplane mechanics .,. There's no guaranteed road that will give tke
new recruit a place in one of these schools , . . However, if you'll
read the information contained in this column of January 19, you'll

IT'S POSSIBLE TO CONTINUE YOUR EDUCATION IN
THE ARMY, The Army Institute enables soldiers to continue their
studies and at the same time prepare for promotion. Army Institute
courses are by correspondence, and there are 64 of them, including
everything from mathematics to social studies to journalism... You
may arrange with your school to get credit for the work... A cer-
tificate of proficiency is awarded the sodlier-student through his
commanding officer when he completes his course... An entry is
made in the soldier's Qualification Card—and it helps him on the
way up... The service has been extended to the Navy, Marine

akcut the pre m-n and women to fill the
jcks. So here's our { tion, Let President Herry
Mors set un a ley corm'ttee, consis’ng of cit’zens who
know something abot manpower problems. Let tiese
cit'zens stvdy te problems cs tzy come up, ma

eapicyecs on a duration bes It could hunt up ways
and meens of aiding the Hospitals Department in sslv-
ing its ver p oblem, Such a committee need
no more then on unofiicial advisory body. There are a
number of New Yori:ers who could offectively serve. If
the adurinistration likes the idea, we'll be glad to evggest
names.
ABOUT TRANSIT
Phe tronsit mess in New York City is
ply involved. Moyor LaGuardia and
ney of the Transportation Board cer-
tactics wiich seem based on the
theory that they might be able to “break” the Transport
Workers Un'on, In time of war, more than in peace,
union-busting can result in terrible repercussions, So,
the city ought to accept the proposal advanced by the
union for advsery arbitration, The TWU has already
stated it 's williny to rely on public opinion to effectuate
ny decisicn made by advicory arbifration, We suggest
the Meyor and Jolin Delaney should do the same thing.
ABOUT MENTAL HYGIENE
jon 3; Governor Dewey, who has long been
intere.(ed in cond'tions existing in the State's mental
hygicne institvtions, cin do much to prevent those con-
ditions from deteriorating, by the s'mple expedient of
helping hogpitel employees the way he proposes to help
other Strte employees: by ra‘sing minimum salaries to
$1,200. Moreover, if employees are being asked to work
overt’me, it ought to be at tims-and-a-half, not straight
time. As we size up the situat’on, this is the only way
of preventing the mental hygiene setup from going com-
pletely to pot for lack of personnel,

When a Man
Leaves the Army
8.C.: The New York City Civil
Service Commission has handed
down its decision tn the case of a
City employee over 38 years of age
who is honorably discharged from
the Army to enter private indu:
try, As coon as the man is dis-
charged from the Army, his mili-
tary leave expires and he is no
longer entitied to civil service
status. However, the head of his
department has the discretion at
any time to grant a leave of ab-
sence, and in this case it would
have the same effect as an exten-
sion of the military leave.
Postponing Exams
DJ.: In the case of a written
test, the New York City Civil
Service Commission will accept
only two reasons for non-appear-
ance: miiltary service or a court
order, Individual illnesses are not
considered by the Commission.
In the ease of competitive phy-
sical, practical, medical and oral
tests, the Commission sometimes
will allow candidates to postpone
their tests for good reasons.
However, a final date is always
set beyond which no postpone-
ments are granted,
Tentative Key Answers
©.S.: In order to give candidates
every opportunity to satisfy them:
selves that their examinations ave
vated properly, the NYC Municipal
Civil Service Commission prepares
answers to short answer tests
within a short time after the te
ave given. These ave published in
the Civil Service LEADE
as they are available, ‘The cadie
dates have a period of twenty (ays
to file objections to these tentative
answers, If the objections ar

New Salary Schedule

A new salary schedule for non-

The measure must now pass to
the Mayor's office, and then to
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion for final approval. It is ex-
Pected that the new salary sched-
ule will be in effect shortly, and
it will help meet the needs of
some of the lower paid help for

Dear Mr. Reichert: Preduction.
I'm quite sure, is not all it should

Administration branch at 346
Broadway, Manhattan. I mention
this only because we ave at war,
when every agency of our govern-
ment should be working as effec-
tively as possible.
Fer months now I have w:
the growth of that organization. of
yours down on Broadway, and 1
have spoken with innumerable em
ployees. I have seen close up j}
what sort of hindrances are being
loosed upon the workers. And [
have come to the conclusion that
this is a matter which should no
longer be permitted to continue
undisturbed.
Production, Mr. Reichert, is be-
ing hampered by a whole series
of minor—let us even call them
petty itations which, in total,
smash at morale and cut down on
the effective performance of duty
by employees.
Tf any one point could be made
to sum up the matter, it is this:
that Vet supervisors persist in
practicing grammar school tactics
despite all of the publicity their
ridiculous antics have received.
This despite the fact that you're
personally trying to do a good.
efficient job, and despite all the
protests of numerous employees
and employee groups.
Just what are these morale shat-
terers?
Have you noticed supervisors
standing over the heads of em-
ployees and scratching out notes
with pencil and pad just to afford
werkers the impression they are
“bearing down” violently, but with
no regard for employees’ feelings ?
Have you noticed that super-
visors sometimes sneak into cor-
ners of sections to overhear some-
body who may have just finished
typing 1,000 words hurl a whim
sical remark at a girl at the next
desk?
Have you observed that some of
your supervisors may have felt it
more important to move that cer-

Ambulance Corps
Being Commander-in-chief of
the New York City Patrol Corps
may make Butch feel just like
MacArthur, but the ambulance
driver controversy with the Hos-
pital Department indicates that
all isn't too rosy on the N.Y.C,
battle front.
The Hospital Department ex-
Plains that the ambulance drivers
who put in NYCPC hours after
their tours of duty are working
on a voluntary basis with no com-
pulsion whatever,
However, some of the men
weren't too anxigus to give up
their sleeping time to play soldier

In order to compensate for their
volunteer work, the Hospital De-
partment made arrangements for
the men who were faithful to the
Corps to be relieved of some of
the more ‘‘obnoxious” assign-
ments.
“In other departments,” says
Hospitals, ‘men who are air
wardens, or doing other civilian
defense work, ave rewarded with
time off. Being unable to do this
because of the labor shortage we
tried to give the men who were
cooperating the better assign-
ments,"*
This corner would appreciate
some letters from ambulance driv-
ers to get their ideas on the mat-
ter,

war ‘The time ha more than
come for conerete, blazing action

all supervisors and chiefs of di-
visions that this is war and that
the country schoolhouse technique
that was cute during the Calvin
Coolidge administration cannot be

This, Mr. Reichert, is utterly

- POLICE CALLS
On the Shortage
of Manpower
Woe received the following letter
this week. In line with our policy
of printing suggestions, we're in-
cluding this—what do men in the
department think?
Sirs: At the present time there
is a large shortage of manpower
in the New York Police Depart-
ment and there ig aleo a bill
Which is being introduced in the
N. Y. State Legislature authoriz-
ing the City of New York to ap-
point ‘Special Police’ for the durva-
tion in the Police Department of
the City of New York,
There are at the present time
over 40 policemen and detectives
in the New York City Police De-
partment Bureau of Criminal
Identification doing fingerprint
work and clerical work,
There is also at the present ume
three policemen doing fingerprint
work in the Courts of Special
sion and the Court of General Ses-
sions. These 3 policemen are def-
initely working out of title as the
jaktng of these fingerprints is
not a police function and further-
more there is a service known in
the civil service as the ‘Identifi-
eation Service’ which is a civilian
functon,
On June 20, 1942, the Municipal
Civil Service Commission held an
examination for ‘Fingerprint
Technician’ in which about 1,300
applicants took this exam. Why
can't the Civil Service Commis-
sion certify this list for ‘Finger-
print Technician’ to the Police
Department and thereby not only
save or gain 40 additional police-
men for police work, but will also
save the City of New York thou-
sands of dollars, as policemen get
$3,000 a year for this worl: aid
civilian’ fingerprintmen get $1,800
per annum,
Thanks

Endowment
Organizations
Last week 34 retired members
of the Fire Department brought
action against a Fire Department
endowment association which had
failed to pay them their retire-
ment benefits. Endowment as:
ciations in the Fire Department
are having the same trouble meet-
ing their obligations as are some
of those in the Police Department,
We wonder whether the best so-
lution for such organizations is
net to compel an actuarial survey
made of their assets and Nabili-
ties and to distribute their assets
among their members upon an
equitable basis, Someone might
be stuck under the present
unsatisfactory set-up and the at-
titude of many contributors, as
they tell it to us, ts — they feel
it’s throwing good money aft
bad, but they're afraid to stop
paying after
large investment.
This is one place the Mayor or
the Commissioner can poke their
respective fingers into without be-
ing subject to criticism,

Young Men: How
About a Pleasant
Summer Job?
‘The closing date for application
and qualification has been extend-
ed to February 20 in the Munic-
ipal Lifeguard Training Course,
because of increased interest, the
Parks Department annqunced
this week,
‘The course, sponsored by the
Parks Department, has been de-
signed to alleviate the growing
shortage of manpower; at the
game time, it offers young men
an opportunity for profitable,
pleasant summer jobs.
Many outstanding high school
athletes have already passed the
qualifying swim test and have en-
rolled for the course, The tests
are held daily in the 54th Street
Indoor Pool located at 4th
Street, between First and Second
Avenues, Manhattan. Applicants
are slated for tests at varying
hours during the day, Thus they
may qualify without loss of time.
Many applicants have been tak-
ing the course merely because of
the training it will give them
when finally summoned for mili-
tary service.
Applicants should apply at the
Parks Department headquarters,
Arsenal Building, 54th Street and
Fifth Avenue, Manhattan (Regent
41000).

fully produced film, “he Siege
of Leningrad,” this of Soviet

around, Yet despite all this, pro-
duction of guns, tanks and shells

tories in increasing number. Cer-
tainly this demonstration of sheer
courage and fortitude truly sym-
bolizes the fact that the Russian
people cannot and will not be de-
