Albany feud which went on for
months and demoralized and un-
derminded the Democratic Party's |
image of responsibility, not only
fn Albany, but throughout the)
country.

Political observers credited Bill)
McKeon with astuteness in post-
poning indefinitely a meeting he
had contemplated calling of the
Democratic State Committee after |
Wagner said he should resign. |

He was being more practical
than astute. The truth is that the
impetus for postponing the meet~
ing originated with the Mayor's
people—and this Was made clear
to MoKeon.

Politicians are practical, above
all @la@, and the reasoning was as |
follows: both factions could count |
and both discovered very quickly
that a meeting of the State Com-
mittee would result at that time
in an overwhelming vote of con-
fidence for the State chairman.
‘This, in turn, would be interpreted
by the press as a rebuff to the
Mayor and serve as a hook for «
press rehash of the Albany legis-
lative leadership fight

While this would have been
temporary heady wine for the
State chairman, this really would
do no one any good and so he
proved himself to be a man moti-
vated more by party interests than

self interest, And while he was
criticized for not having full har-
mony and unity in the months
previous, he certainly is seeking
that now. It woul appear that
Mayor Wagner, so such more im-

|Portant in stature and length of}
service to the party, should seek

the same harmony and unity. He's
the first of the important Demo-

crats who faces a fight in Novem- |

ber, and why face it with the party
split, he is being asked. There's
still Javits and Lindsay around.
Wagner obviously has a lot “in the
bank” as Mayor of New York City.
But he has to remember that Me
Keon too has a lot “in the bank”
that he hasn't drawn on yet.

It must be recalled that when
McKeon assiimed the chairman-
ship three years ago—on March 1,
1962—he dedicated himself to try
to make the Democratic Party in-
to an efficient and effective state-
wide organization.

On the State level, a “New
Breed Democrat was drawn into
the picture under MoKeon's
leadership. Within a year, more
than half of the county organisa-
tions had new leaders and the
all went out to find and develop
the most attractive candidates for
elective office.

which had been awaited. Even by

then it had beéome obvious that
patronage — the so-called well
spring of politi¢al organization—
had been drying up at an accel-
erating pace on all levels. Never-
theless, more and more people
were becoming direetly involved
in political activity, While patron-
age must never be under-estimated
in seeking reasotis for political
motivation, {t was clear here that
the answer lay elsewhere — phi-
losophy, party Program, common
goals,

What has drawn people together
at the grass roots level in these
budding upstate Democratic or
ganinations Was precisely the same
thing which had bound together
the reform movement in the City.
While ft fs true that segments of
the reform movement have become
part of ‘The Establishment” by
succumbing to the lure of lush
patronage jobs, the movement's
strength has always—and will al-
ways, if it is to survive—stemmed
from common philosophy and
ideology rather than patronage.

This philosophical community-

this regard that, in any public dis-

House Committee Declares

The Use of Polygraphs As
Lie Detectors a “Myth”

The polygraph machine as a lie detector has been de-
clared a myth by the House Government Operations Com-
mittee. The committee stated “people have been deceived by
a myth that a metal box in the hands of an investigator can

detect truth or falsehood.”

“There is no ‘lie detector,’
neither machine or human” the
committee charged, The govern-
ment has helped foster this myth
by spending millions of dollars on
polygraph machines and salaries
for the special investigators who
give the examinations according
to the House group.

The committee made the follow-
ing recommendations on control- |
ling the use of Me detectors by
Federal agencies;

Prohibit the use of poly-
graphs in all but the most
serious national security and
criminal cases.

Initlate comprehensive re-
search to determine the val-
idity and reliability of poly-
graph examinations.

Imprt the training and
qualifications of Federal poly-
graph examinations,

Insure that refusal to take
« polygraph examination will
not constitute prejudice or be
made « part of an individual's
records except in the most
serious national security cases.
The committee also urged Presi-

dent Johnson to set up an inter-
agency committee to study the
problems imposed by the use of
the machines,

The recommendations were part
of & report of the “Use of Poly-
graph” as ‘Lie Detectors’ by the
Federal Government.” The report
was based on an investigation on
the use of polygraphs made by
the Government Operations Com-
mittee's Subcommittee on Foreign
Operations and Government In-
formation, The chairmen of the
subcommittee is Rep. John E
Moss (Dem., Calif.)

The agencies using the machines
own a total of 512 polygraphs at
& cost of almost half a million |
dol!

Although the use of the
machines is widespread, the report
declares that so far research has
failed to prove they can detect
lies or determine guilt or inno-
cence, The polygraphs, the report
points out, do nothing more than
measure three physical responses |
—the flow of electrical current |
across the skin, blood pressure and
pulse and respiration. It is up to
the operator to interpret the
meaning of the various responses

State Budget Must
Be Passed At Once

iOR most New York State residents, the failure of the

State Legislature to approve a budget for the new fiscal
year, which began last week, means only a dispute on
method, But at this writing, it means that tens of thousands
of State workers are facing the grim prospect of trying to
get along without a pay check until a budget is approved,

When it is understood that nearly half of these thous-
ands of employees take home a pay envelope of some $65
after deductions the prospect is grim, indeed. In private in- |
dustry, unpaid workers would not work, In public employ- |
ment, the responsibilty of maintaining vital government
services does not permit the civil servant to think for a
moment of staying away from the job, _

A short time ago it would have been unthinkable to
imagine that over 100,000 working men and women in this |
State would be faced with payless pay days and, at the same |
time, be expected to continue on the job “until things get
straightened out.”

It is a tribute to these employees that they WILL con-
tinue to serve the State and its citizens. It is the respon-
sibility of the Legislature and the Administration to see that
this unnecessary sacrifice be ended immediately and to pass

=a budget that will allow these workers to be paid.

Start Hearings—Now

ARLY last month a bill was introduced in the United
States Senate calling for a reduction in the retirement

age of Federal employees whose jobs have been abolished | are leaving the service at the end |

or relocated,

At this writing, the Post Office and Civil Service Com-
mittee has yet to set a date for the hearings on this legis-
lation.

The workers at the various facilities that this bill would
affect should, at least, be given the opportunity to be heard,

We suggest that those affected people and all other
interested parties write to the chairman of the committee,
Sen. Olin D. Johnston, (D-S.C.), urging that the committee |
set a hearing date,

Letters To The Editor

Ask Support Of

Service Pay Raise
Editor, The Leader;

The 2, million members of
your armed forces need help from
the people back home, We need
the help of our fellow Americans
in writing to the members of
Congress in support of a pay bill
now in Congress.

On March 3, Congressman L.
Mendel Rivers of South Carolina
introduced HR 5725. a bill to in-
crease the basic pay of the uni-
formed members of the armed
forces. This is the first realistic
and adequate pay measure to be
offered since WWII.

Canada pays their recruits $110
per month on entry into service.
West Germany pays their recruits
$112 per month. The United
States pays their recruits $78 per
month, The enrollee in the Youth
Opportunity Program receives
$30 monthly, with an additional
$50 monthly paid when released
He can, in four months time,
progress to a leader at $125 per
month. The Federal minimum
wage scale is $1.25 per hour.

In 1948 my allowance for food
was $1.15 per day, Now its $1.03.
Department of Labor statistics in-
dicate that the cost of basic foods
Increased 43.2 percent during that
16 years. My food allowance de-
creased 10.4 percent,

In 1955 I bought a home for
my retirement. My payments were
$89.75 per month, including prin-
cipal, interest, taxes and insur-
ance. My payments in 1965 are
$116 per month, The increase rep-
resents increased taxes Does It
appear reasonable that my pay
inereases cannot even keep up
with tax increases?

The majority of our young men

of their first enlistment. We are
losing their training and skills
which we need so badly, Our non-
commissioned officers and officers
are retiring shortly after reach-
ing the 20 years service point,
through sheer financial necessity,
to support thelr families. We are
losing our leaders, There is no
substitute for experience, Our na-
tional security depends on these
people, and their skills, Present
living costs compared to pay re-
ceived is forcing mediocrity upon
us. We, and you, need competence,
ability and dedication,

We need the vote and active
support of every member of Con-
gress, for passage of HR 5726,
without cripppling amendments or
changes, No member of Congress
can represent his constituents un-
less he is informed of their feel-
ings and desires, I am making
this plea to our individual fel-
low American citizens; to our
labor organizations; to our vet-
erans’ groups; to our wome!
clubs’ and to our Civic organiza-
tlons to give to us, the time re-
quired to write the two Senators
from your state and the Congress-
man from your district. Ask them
to vote for and support HR 5725,
for your fellow Americans who
serve around the clock, all around
the world.

To those of you who see fit
to extend to us the helping hand
of the Good Samaritan, when we
need your help, I extend the heart
felt thanks of myself and my
fellow wearers of Your Uniform.

An Important Decision

WHAT MAY prove to be a landmark contribution toward
the preservation of the merit system is Justice Charles J.
Beckinella’s recent determination annulling failure ratings
on an oral interview test which was part of an examination
for promotion to elementary school principal. The examina-

tion was conducted by the Board of Examiners of the New
York City Board of Education.

THE PUROPSE of the interview test was to evaluate the
applicant's personality, his use of English in disussion, his
oral reading, etc. The test was given by a panel of four ex-
aminers consisting of two elementary school principals, a
college professor, and a speech adviser,

DURING THE first fifteen minutes of the interview, the
candidate spoke to the panel without interruption about a
passage he had previously been instructed to study. For the
next half hour, he answered questions posed by the inter=
viewers. Then he was dismissed and the panel spent twenty=
five minutes discussing his performance.

THE EXAMINERS rated the candidates on rating sheets
sting the four major categories of speech, oral discussion,

| interpersonal relationships, and other personality traits. The
\four categories were subdivided into twenty-one items for

rating purposes, On each item, item, the candidate could

be rated one of five ways; namely, very poor, inadequate,
passable, good, or superior.

THE SPEECH advisor's rating sheet differed trom that
of the other three members of the panel and was concerned

with the areas of conversational speech, voice, and enuncla=
tion and pronunciation,

THE SEVENTEEN petitioners having passed the written
part of the examination contended through their attorney,
A, Mark Levien, that the interview tests “were not conducted
in as competitive a manner as practicable” as required by
the State Constitution and “did not conform to measures or
Standards sufficiently objective to be capable of being chal-
lenged and reviewed by other examiners of ability and ex-
perience” under the doctrine of Fink y, Finegan.

IN AGREEING with the petitioners, Justice Beckinella
noted in a fifty page opinion:

“THE INTERVIEW test in the instant proceeding was
an oral test which turned upon ‘subjective areas of judg-
ment.’ A mere inspection of the twenty-one skills and qual-
ities upon which the candidates were rated demonstrates
that the examining panels were well within ‘subjective areas
of judgment’ when they rated the petitioners. To put it an-

| other way, when the examining panels rated the petitioners

on such items, e.g., as (12) ability to meet challenges effec-
tively, (13) understanding interpersonal aspects of problems
and proposals, (15) ability to establish rapport with other
people, and (16) resourcefulness in leading other people, the
panels were rating petitioners on qualities and skills which
could be interpreted differently from panel to panel if the
examiners were free to apply their own interpretations of
the meanings of those items, The items simply do not define
themselves. Therefore it is necessary, if every candidate is
to be measured by the same yardstick, to have someone state
for the examiners just what it is they are measuring when
they rate a candidate. If the examining panels do not meas-
ure candidates by a standard common to all the panels, the
candidates are not competing in the same examination and
so the examination ceases to be competitive. If no common
standard is stated for the panels, not only may the members
of the panel have different conceptions of just what each of
these skills means, but if left to their own judgments it is
apparent that they may have different ideas of just what
constitutes a very poor, inadequate, passable, good, or sup-
erlor performance, or even what constitutes a satisfactory
or unsatisfactory performance, This is the rationale behind
the principle, stated in Matter of Fink, that a test, to be
competitive, must employ an objective standard or measure,”

In view of the importance of the case (Nelson v. Board of
Examiners, decided March 15, 1965) to the preservation of
the merit system, Justice Beckinella’s opinion will be further
discussed in a subsequent column,

cently approved by the U.S, Public Health
Service, And young children in H.LP, are the
first group in the New York area to be pro-

measles vaccine, the new one requires no

separate injection of gamma globulin to
minimize side effects, There is no charge for

either the vaccine or the injection,

Measles itself is usually not a serious dis-
ease, but the secondary complications such
as encephalitis and pneumonia can be very

are not, really, just fire-fighters,

in part, help find ways to avold

MR. POSTLEY'S thesis ts that

¢ 70. Mrs. Murray moved that

gional attorney, be provided with
information regarding grievance
requests in political subdivisions to
determine the advisability of the

make full and effective use of the
public relations professional.

“HE (THE GOVERNMENT
EXECUTIVE) wants the public
relations worker to put out the
fire without damage, immediately,
as though it never hapepned,
without consulting the public re-
lations worker in advance of the
conflagration.”

THE PROPER procedure sug-
gested by Mr. Postley for govern-
ment officials is this:

“1. IF IN DOUBT (and often
when not in doubt) about a pro-
posed course of action, ask your
PR director (or whatever his title
is) what his advice may be,

“2. LISTEN THROUGH to the
finish and act as though you
were listening.

“3. THEN MAKE up your mind,
but only after you have consid-
ered advice of your PR counsel.
You will be better off for the
effort.”

IT 18 HIGHLY significant that
Mr. Pleydell’s newsletter led off
with an article on government
Dublic relations, It ts proof of a
sound knowledge of public admin-
istration and the human factors
involved.

AFTER ALL, government is
Deople, and it is people who run
the government, And they make
bad or good public relations for
government by their action, their
mistakes, or their achievements,

AIDES’ CRY: ‘WE WANT TO BE PAID”

(Continued from Page 1)

Feily pointed out that some 50,-
000 workers, representing a mi
jority of the lowest paid workers,
were faced with a payless pay day
April 7. Hundreds of phone calls
from disturbed employees have
been received by him and CSEA
headquarters, he declared.

“Prankly, I don’t know what to

RANDOLPH V. JACOBS

advise them, “Felly said. “We look
to you gentlemen to provide the
answer.”

Zaretzki Attends

‘The importance of the hearing
was underlined by the fact that
Senate Majority Leader Joseph
Zaretzki left the session in his own
chambers to hear the remarks by
Feily and other CSEA representa-
tives.

CSEA members representing a
cross-section of State workers
followed Feily in quick succession
to emphasize the dismay, concern
and bewilderment of employees
forced to juggle their finances for
an unspecified period, Onlookers
cheered their remarks and there
was little doubt that the speakers
had deeply impressed the legisla-
tors with their pleas.

Citing the fact that Mental
Hygiene Dept. employees get per-
sonal, not financial, satisfaction

they were to announce that their
board of directors was in a dead-
lock . © that they would have
to announce they could not meet
their April 7 payroll. You would
all be up in arms!”

A Real Danger

A real danger was underlined by
Salvatore Butero, employed at
Psychiatric Institute, who asked
“What would happen if I were to
drop dead on my way home from
this meeting? Would my wife and
family get the full death benefit
they are entitled to because of my
years of State service?”

Said Arnold Moses of Brooklyn
State Hospital “I wonder, as you
meet, if you really realize what
you are doing. You are striking
panic in the hearts of State em-
ployees.”

Harry Kolothros, employed by
the Office of General Services, de-
clared “we lament the slur this
brings upon the Great State of
New York."

A double-loss was cited by An-
drew Dago, employed at the State
Training School for Girls at Hud-
son when he said “First we lost a
budget item to give institutional
teachers a normal working calen-
dar. Now it looks as though we
may not even get paid at all.”

Zaretzki later asked Feily if the
CSEA, in order to provide State

out of caring for the mentally|
ill, Mrs. Julia Duffy of Pilgrim) workers with a pay raise, would
State Hospital told the legslators| support a tax increase and, if 80,
that “As I look around this room,| what kind of increase. Feily an-
T fee) that there aren't «lv of wl) swered by saying “You people are
| the employers; we are the employ-

of them carn less than $4,500, I
said that the loss or delay of even
one week's salary represents a very
real financial disaster to these em-
ployees.

SALVATORE BUTERO

“I said, the time has now come,
however, when I must publicly |
request the legislative leaders and
the Governor to accept their re-
sponsibilities with respect to a
budget and, at the very least, to
take whatever steps are necessary
to assure us that an alternative
plan is ready that would insure
the continuation of uninterrupted
governmental services and the

Payment of salaries of State em-|
Ployees.

“IT am here today, gentlemen, to
reemphasize that message.

“Our State institutions which
employ some 50,000 State em-
ployees, have a payday schedule
for next Wednesday, April 7. Un-
fortunately this large group repre-
senting about half of all State
employees, also represents a major
share of the lowest paid em-
ployees, These institution em-
ployees, gentlemen, take home, on
an average, about $60 a week. On
this small sum, they must feed
and house and clothe and educate
and entertain and, otherwise pro-
vide their families a decent stan-
dard of living. It is difficult enough
to do this on the smiaries they are
receiving, but if they must face
one or two or three or more pay-
| less pay days—weeks without any

real trouble. Trouble that cannot be

—will even be reimbursed to them.

“We have had telephone calls
from throuhgout the State asking
us to advise these men and women
on what they should do. To be
frank, gentlemen, we do not know
what to advise them, Will they
be paid? Will the money they are
spending on State business be re-
imbursed to them? We do not
know, gentlemen, we look to you
for the answer.

“We ask you here today, and
all of your colleagues in both the
Senate and the Assembly, to ac-
cept your responsibility, as you
have in the past, We ask each and
every one of you to personally
make it his individual business to
take whatever steps are necessary
to insure 120,000 State employees
that their paychecks will not be
one week, or one day, or one hour
late. We do not tell you what
budget to pass or how to raise the
revenue to finance a budget. That
is up to you.

“In conclusion, I wish publicly,
to state my high regard for the
Legislature of this State, because
you members seated here today.
and indeed, your staffs, and all
your colleagues, are no less the
civil servant than am I. I accept
and acknowledge the long hours
which you work and the devotion
which you give to your work. I do
not demean the legislative process
because, during the past years
since I have been president of this

| Assocication, I have spent many | don't know

| ARNOLD MOSES

income at all—they—are in very | hours talking with you and work-

ing with you. I am not here to

who would take our places.” She
was referring to the empathy
needed to take care of people “un-
able © take care of themselves
and unwanted by others.
Randolph Jacobs, an employee

Of the State Insurance Pund, asked) that the Legislature would not | State

the legislators to “Imagine if I
were here to stop working for the
Btate because of a demand
higher pay . , . or that I were em-

ployed by General Electric Co. and| year, and that more than 30,000|on the State's business, mind you

ees, The running of this State is
the duty of the Legislature and
the Administration, not the em-
Ployees.””

Feily's Remarks

Feily led off the session saying:

“I appear here today as presi-
dent of the Civil Service Employ-
ees Assn., representing 130,000
| public employees in, this State,
| some 96,000 of whom work directly
| for the State itself

“Two days ago, I sent identical
messages to Governor Rockefeller,
Senator Zaretaki and Speaker
‘Travia, copies of which were sent
to every member of the Legisla-
ture. I asked for specific assur-
ances that the salaries of State
employees and all other vital
| State services would continue un~
interrupted during this situation,

“T said I had deliberately with-
held making any statement which
might in anyway raise fears
among our members, 96,000 of
whom are employees of this State,

provide for the payment of salar-
les of State employees.

| “Z said that half of all State
employees earn less than $5,000 a

righted by assurances

| not to] throw needless brick bats at you

worry—you'll be paid—eventually!|.. . I am here to tell you with all

“In addition, I learned just yes-| the vigor at my command, that
terday that there are hundreds! you have drifted past the April 1}
of State employees travelling on | deadline and are drifting toward|
that date of April 7 without any |
budget and, apparently, without |
any plan at all to carry out the|
|essential functions of State gov-
jernment. I urge you, in all good
faith, and with deep respect for
| your office, to settle your differ-
enoes—honest differences as I am
sure they are—in a responsible
manner —quickly and decisively
and end this uncertainty.”

Julia Duffy

“Taxpayers of our State expect
uninterrupted service by us and
we give it. Department of Men-
tal Hygiene employees are a pecu-
liar breed who get personal,
tainly not financial, satisfaction
out of taking care of those ur
fortunate people who are unabl
to care for themselves and by
and large are unwanted by their
familes, As I look around this
room, I feel that there aren't six
of you who would take our places.
We treat our patient with em-
pathy rather then sympathy and
call © mind many times a day |

throughout this

busines
| State and, indeed, the nation, at

this very moment, who do not
know if the money they are spend-
ing out of their pockets—spending

the meaning of “mercy"—room
in our hearts for the suffering of
others, We know that in the past
best interests of the patients the
employees must agree that our
differences of opinion are sec-
ondary and cannot effect the care
of the patient. We do the very
best we can with what talents
we have so that at the end of
our day we can face our judge-
ment without fear. We hope that
you can do the same. We feel
that, as members of the Legis-
lature, you owe the same unin-
terrupted service to the taxpay-
ers of our State.”
Randolph Jacobs

“Imagine gentlemen if I was
here threatening to stop working
for the State because of a demande
for higher pay. Imagine, gentle-
men, your reaction if I refused to
work, Or, imagine gentlemen, your
anguished comments and sym-
pathy if I were employed by say
the General Electric Company,
| and they were to announce that
their board of directors was in an
insoluable dispute —or deadlock,
60 that publicly they announced
that they wouldn't meet their pay-
roll on April 7, You would all be
up in arms! You would say this
is a travesty and that it is fllecal
to refuse to pay employees under
| the State Labor Law. And you
would be right. But here I am,
| maybe you are all kidding me—
}and I'm just the goat—and I
{t. But responsible
statements have been made, with-
|out a budget, we won't be paid
poe I'm prepared, after what has
| transpired, to belleve it now.
| “Without any question, I want
you to know—that as a civil ser-
| vice employee, I won't shirk my
| Pesponsibility—I'll go to work. In
fact, I won't walk off the job even
|if you won't pay me. And T'll
wager, under the leadership of the
State Civil Service Employees
Assn. of which I have the honor
to serve as chairman of the State
Grievance Committee, that the
Mental Hygiene attendants won't
walk off and leave the patients he
Serves, without that care so neces-
sary for the very continuation of
life itself, nor will the correction
officers leave the prisons un-
| guarded, nor the State police per-
| mit this State to revert into a
wanton wilderness if you won't
Pay us on time.”

Salvatore Butero

“I consider myself just a little
guy, doing a job for this State
in the best way I know how, I
have been in this State a lot of
years of my life—years I don’t
regret, But I have always felt
that the great Empire State would
play it square with me,

“There is a lot of talk these
days about the “Great Society”
and about poverty programs and
the “War on Poverty.” All of this
is going to be very real for thous-
ands and thousands of State em-
ployees if you people here don't
do something quick.

“What would happen, God for-
bid, if I were to drop dead on
the way back home from this
meeting? Would my wife and my
family get the full death benefit
they are entitled to because of my
years in State service? Would the
wives and families of other State
employees be taken care of under
existing programs if tragedy were
to strike while there was no bud-
get to finance these programs’?

Arnold Moses

out the State as the party had
never won before.

For Humphrey

Guided by the principle that a
leader must lead—and not merely
follow — MeKeon stuck his neck |
out several times before the cam-
palgn really got under way, how-
ever. While respecting Mayor
Wagner and his ambitions, he
wasn't really an inner member of
the Wagner machine. And so Mc-
Keon boldly informed President
Johnson in writing some time be-
fore the national convention that
his personal discussions around the
State showed that the strongest
Democratic Vice Presidential can-
didate for New York voters would
be the then Senator Hubert H.
Humphrey.

‘The weight given to New York's
strong endorsement of Senator
Humphrey {s well known on White
House levels because New York
was a “big state.” And it was also
known that Vice President Hum-
phrey has a widespread reputation
as & Man who appreciates and re-
members friends.

For Kennedy

‘The confetti had not yet been
swept out of convention hall in
Atlantic City before McKeon’s po-
Mtical neck was put on the line a
second time—when it became ap-
parent that Robert F. Kennedy
would be receeptive to being the
party's candidate for U.S. Senator.
Even as Kennedy was being ac-
claimed on the floor of the State
convention there were strong in-
timations in the press that no one
had more to do with the nomina-
tion for the now Senator Kennedy
than did Bill McKeon. McKeon did
not think of Wagner's interest or
disinterest because Wagner never
suggested arv opinion to him,

For Weisl

And, of course, there was the
question of a National Committee-
man to replace Carmine G. Do-
Sapio. Up to now, perhaps only
insiders had been aware of Mc-
Keon’s work to convince Presi-
dent Johnson's close friend and
top New York City lawyer, Edwin
L. Weis], Sr., to take on this post.
It was like pulling teeth. Weis) did.
n't really want the job. McKeon
met with Weisl many times, When

McKeon felt Weisl could be per- | _

suaded from his initial, really

adamant refusal, he asked Mayor |

Wagner to make the final request
of President Jobnson that he inter-

cede and ask his old and dear)

friend to take the job.

can be demonstrated by the fact
that the plurality alone was ex-

cratic vote of just three states,
| California, Mlinois, and Pennsyl-
vania,
Credit Johnson

Nothing is taken away from the
tremendous attraction of the
Johnson-Humphrey victory when
appropriate credit is given to the
Jong and meaningful spade-work
mounted throughout the State by
a revitalized Democratic organiza-
tion and the “New Breed” organi-
zation man and woman.

A possible harbinger of future
harvests of this work lay in the
1964 registration figures. Por the
first time in history in many large
and important counties — includ-
ing Westchester, Nassau and Suf-
folk—more new voters were reg-
istered as Democrats than as Re-
publicans,

predictions, McKeon never waver-
ed in his belief that the party

would capture both houses of the |

State Legislature for the first time
in 30 years. Beyond this, the
party's Congressional delegation
moved from a 21-30 minority to a
whopping 27-14 majority—in ad-
dition to electing Senator Kennedy
and giving the Johnson-Humphrey
ticket the largest landslide vote in
history. The Johnson-Humphrey
Ueket, it must be remembered,
carried every one of the State's 62
counties,

The previous landslide record
was achieved in 1936. How-
ever, Franklin Delano Roosevelt
managed to carry only 11 of
the State's 62 counties — and
in two of these 11 the winning
margin was supplied by the now
defunct American Labor Party.

Capital Conf. Hears Blame
Swapped On Budget Failure

(Special To The Leader)

ALBANY, April 5 — Two leading Legislators—one a Dem-
serat, the other a Republican each, last week, blamed the
other's party for the confusion which has caused the State
to move into a new fiscal year without an approved budget.

Speaking before the March
meeting of the Capital District
Conference of the Civil Service
amployees Assn., Senator Ed-
rard J. Speno, (R-Nassau) blamed
the utter confusion facing the)
State Legislature on the “Demo-
rats lack of knowledge”. Speno's
emarks drew fire from the other
tuest speaker of the evening,
Senator Manfred Ohrenstein (D-
Manhattan) who noted that “we
‘Democrats) had trouble select-
ng our leadership but that is all
ettled now. We have no respon-
tbility for bringing out a budget.
The problem is that Governor
Wwockefeller had a ‘pay as you

Feily Assures
Members On
Insurance

ALBANY, April 5—Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn, president
Joseph F. Feily today advised
The Leader that protection
under the CSEA Group Life
Insurance and its Accident and
Sickness Insurance Plans will
not be interrupted because of
temporary delay in payment of
State salaries that may be
caused by delay in adoption of
@ State budget.

CSEA members pay premi-
ums for these insurances by
deductions from their salaries
on State payrolls.

Felly indicated that if the
delay in payment of State sal-
aries persisted for an extended
period, which is unlikely, that
further adequate notice would
be given CSEA Group In-
surance policy holders before
coverage under such insurance
is possibly affected,

‘As to the State Health In-
surance, Feily likewise express-
ed belief that temporary delay
in State pay would not inter-
rupt protection thereunder.

TOM RANGER

Tom recalls that he was easily
able to handle the Center's mail
distribution and pick up and of-
fice supplies by himself. With the
Medical Center's rapid expansion,
Tom's original operation now
staffs elght people. A mail room
was organized by him to handle
the now great amounts of mail
which flow in and out of the
Center. He is also in charge of
receiving which handles office
and medical supplies being sent in
to the Center. And, in 1960 Ran-
ger set up the Center's Central
Stores operation. Prior to that
time each department ordered its
own equipment.

Also, Ranger was chairman o!
the Medical Center's Safety Coun-
cll and organized its first safety
program.

He was born in Chatham, Eng- |
land in 1900, and came to Syra-
cuse in 1908 where he has been
a resident since. He and his wife,
Hazel, have two children; a son
Robert, who works at the New
York Telephone Company in Endi-
cott and a daughter Nancy, who
works at the Onondaga County
Welfare Department's Child Care
Division.

Ranger and his wife have plan-
ned a trip to the West Coast fol-

“Just two weeks ago, I and my

told that money was in the budget
to provide us with a regular public
school calendar year—which we
don’t have now. This money,
which amounted to about $300,000,
would have allowed us to improve
our ability as teachers. Three
nights ago, however, this money
was cut out of the budget. Now
T'm told that in addition to this
loss, I'm probably am not even
going to get paid next week."@
