Special to The LEADER,
ALBANY, Oct. 27—Dr, Frank L. Tolman, President
The Civil Se e Employees Association, announced
, immediately following the unanimous action of the
egates at the Association’s annual meeting on October
id 7, in stressing the need of an emergency salary ad-
isiment to meet the soaring cost of living, and in voting
iother resolution favoring a special session of the Legis-
ture this purpose, he had applied to Governor
Dewey, asking for an early examination of

. Tolman said that the ques-
n of high prices, reduction of
i consumption to further the
ding of the starving in Europe,
id the State employees’ need for
living wi in terms of present
‘, all added to the justice of
e demand for a special session

week for the many workers not
receiving such benefit, and also
concerned the extension of both
coverage and amount of extra pay
for hazardous and arduous work,
as well as other matters affecting
State employees.

Inside Story
Of All Large
NYC Exams

Every effort is being made by
the NYC Civil Service Commis-
sion to finish up as much as possi
ble of pending examination work,
and have eligible lists promul-
gated before the end of the year,
Acting President Joseph A, Mc-
Namara said in an interview with
The LEADER. Also, there will be
one large new examination opened
for receipt of applications this
year and another early next year.
‘The two examinations are Special
Patrolman (to be used also for
filling Correction Officer vacan-
cies) and Fireman (F.D.). What
will determine the order of hold-

Reallocation Suit
Raises Hot Issue
in Plain Words

Speial to The LEADER

ALBANY, Oct, 27—The briefs |
submitted by both sides in the
proceeding brought by The Civil |
Service Employees Association to
attain immediate financial bene-
fit for all State employees whose
positions have been reallocated
being studied by Supreme
ourt, Justice Bergan The case
as argued before him by John
'T. DeGraff. Association counsel,
on behalf of Daniel DeMarco, the
representative petitioner, and by
Assistant Attorney General John |
Crary on behalf of the State Civil |
vice Commission and other de-
fendant State officials.

The brief submitted by Mr.|
DeGraft gave a comprehensive
history of the salary laws of the
State, traced their consistent
tenor of protection of employees’
pay scales based on years of sery-
ice, and showed that the laws
passed by the 1947 session of the
Legislature mandated benefits, as
of April 1 last, to all those em-
ployees whose positions were re-
allocated as the result of the sur-
y of the State Salary Stand-

vation Board.

A report had to be made by
the Board in time for action by
the Legislature, but before the
survey was completed. Since then
the work has been completed—as
of October 1 last—and the fourth
and final list of reallocations is ex-
pected to be announced as soon
as Budget Director John E, Burton
has passed on it, The report,
and the new law it induced, both
stressed the April 1, 1947, effective
date of reallocations, whether
made prior to April 1 last or sub-
sequently, if made before October
1 last.
Nothing Happens

The State, in defense, declared
that when ‘a reallocation takes
place under conditions imposed by
the Commission which exclude
immediate benefiis, nothing hap-

ount of reallocation
DeGraff contended that th
uage of the law establishing

50 new grades in one schedule, to
replace the services and grades
of the Feld-Hamilton law, and to
make the bonus a part of base
pay, was very explicit in requiring |
that all benefits must be effective
on April 1 last, whether the real-
location was prior or subsequent.

The defense cited sections of
the Civil Service law and held that
these justified deferment of bene-
fits until the employee had been

ways honored years of service in
the same position, preventing pay
reductions or denial of benefits
even to war-service and tempo-
rary employees (who also receive
increments), when they attained
competitive ‘status, The argument
was that an attempt was being
made to give competitive em-
ployees less protection when their
Position was reallocated, after
conversion to a grade in the
schedule of 50 grades, even than
was accorded to temporary em-
ployees. In addition, he cited the
specific requirement of Section 6,

| Subdivision 8 of Chapter 360, Laws

of 1947, that the reallocations
were to be “effective April 1, 1947.”
By “retroactive” the law meant

that reallocations were retro-ef-
fective, and there was not, despite
the State's contrary assertion, any
difference between the meaning of
“retroactive” and “retro-effective,”
said Mr, DeGratf,

Money Voted for It

Appropriations were made by
the Legislature for two plain pur-
poses: (1) $2,500,000 to finance
the conversion of the old grades
to the new on a basis of round-
ing out uneven salary amounts,
and (2) $3,000,000 to correct in-
equities, i.e. finance the realloca-
tions. Of the $3,000,000, less than
10 per cent would be spent accord-
ing to the restricted plan adopted
by the Commission. With few ex-
ceptions, an employee whose po-
sition was reallocated, has to at-
tain the maximum of the grade
from which his position was re-
allocated before he can get any
financial benefit from the reallo-
cation.

The exceptions include em-
ployees paid less than the mini-
mum of the higher grade. They
are brought up to that minimum,
Only 15 per cent of reallocated
employees receive any benefit, as|
only those at the minimum or
maximum benefit. Years of serv-
ice in a given position, the his-
tovical standard, is abandoned as
he criterion, although a realloca-
tion is only an upgrading of the
same position, and in no way a
different position,

Mr. DeMarco was appointed a
competitive Laboratory Worker in
the Health Department in 1945,
after having been a Laboratory
Helper, in the exempt or labor
class, His Feld-Hamilton grade of
2-1B was converted to G-2 under
the 1947 law and his position
later was reallocated by the Sal-
ary Board to G-3, one of the in.

in the new grade long enough to
reach the maximum of the old|
nrade. Mr. DeGraff called these
sections inapplicable and obsolete.
He cited successive laws that al-

tended rectifications of inequiti

vent the removal of the inequity,

lower grade, which is $1,600-
$2,200. G-3 is $1,700 to $2,300.
Each grade has five annual in-
crements of $120 each,

“Petitioner's salary should have
been changed from the fourth
year in Grade 2-1B ($1,500) to
the fourth year in Grade G-3
($2,060), plus his G-3 increment
of $120, earned by satisfactory
service during the preceding year,
making a total of $2,180,” said
Mr, DeGraff.

The conversion to G-2 gave Mr,
DeMarco $2,080. He gets the
same money now as if his position
had not been reallocated.

Not only the Salary Board in its
report, but in its subsequent un-
nouncements of reallocations said
that if made after April 1 last
the changes were rertoactive to
that date; Governor Dewey in his
request to the Legislature stated
that purpose and the law enacted
so provides, the petitioner con-
tends,

It is expected that the final re-
allocation list, soon to be an-
nounced, will also state that the
reallocations are retroactive to
April 1 last. The whole survey,
the laws passed in consequence of
it and the reellocations all were
geared to April 1 last, All real-
locations recommended by the
Boarc on or before October 1
last_were intended to be part of a
unified survey conducted to pro-
duce a single result on a single
date, the petitioner maintains,

Special to The LEADER
ALBANY, Oct. 27,—Employees
of local government in N.Y. State
showed considerable interest in
the plea by the Conference of
Mayors for extension of local
taxing powers, especially because
of the intimation that deserved
salary increases can not be grant-
ed unless additional taxing powers
are granted by the State to local
government.
The Conference of Mayors of
the Cities and Villages, through
Mayor William Hart Hussey, of
Mount Vernon, Mayor Boyd
Golder of Utica, and Morgan
Strong, Executive Director of the
Conference, urged upon the State
administration extension of local
taxing powers under the recently
adopted local tax program to all
cities and villages of the State.
The group met with State Comp-
troller Frank C. Moore and
Charles D. Breitel, Counsel to the
Governor.

“We pointed out there are many
cities and villages with popula-
tions of less than 100,000 that
are anxious to assume responsi-
bility and straighten out their
own financial houses,” said Mayor
Hussey, discussing the interview.

“We told Comptroller Moore

On A Certain Blindness of the Official Mind

N every business there are two major essential areas
| or elements on which success or failure depends. These
may be differentiated as external versus internal or for-
eign versus domestic affairs.

By external affairs I mean direct service to the cus-
tomer or the public. By internal affairs I mean the staft
and personnel relationship of the agency.

The second element is the most important factor in
any enterprise, It represents the major cost of any busi-
ness. It is the chief variable. It is the final source of
nearly every idea improvement and advance.

It is, therefore, natural that private industry is now
more preoccupied with personnel and management fac-
tors than with any purely external matter. A great indus-
trial leader said recently: “It is people who are important,
An economic system snould be judged by what it does for
people and to people. Specifically—how does it affect the
opportunity of people as individuals to make maximum
use of their capacities and to grow intellectually, to what
extent are the potentialities of the citizen realized, how
much use is made of their inventiveness and resourceful-
ness and how well will they work together.” What is true
of an economic system is even more true of an industry
in that system. Autocratic management is on the way out.
Democratic management is on the way in.

Government, on the other hand, has been mostly
blind in the matter of new and more humane staff relation-
ships, or it has assumed that no personnel problems exist
or will occur, “Democratic management lags in the Civil
Service,” said Professor Wallace S. Sayre of Cornell Uni-
versity. “It fails to capitalize on the ability, ideas” and, I
add, the organization of the entire staff.

Waste of potential ability and ideas arising from the
staff is a major loss in efficiency. Lack of use of employee
organizations to the limit of their potential service for
improved morale, economy in operation, improved work-
ing conditions, mutual understanding and good coopera-
tion, is equally costly.

Every public employee dreams of a better day a-
borning. He wants to do a better job than he is now al-
lowed to do. He wants to think and to create in his work
life. He wants to contribute more to his real employer,
the people of the State.

The employees have built up an organization which
has already contributed much to efficiency in government
but its possible greater services are largely ignored and
unused. If the Association did not exist, something very
similar would have to be created. Why is it so little used
by most high administrators?

The machinery for democratic administration exists
on the employees’ side. Public management needs a new
outlook and a new awareness of the best thinking in
pamerica today on the art of working together for common
ends.

When will the official eyes be opened and the official
mind realize the facts of the post-war world? When will
they see the vision of a new world of public service to all
the people in which the watchword is—To eve ‘y citizen
according to his need—from every public servant to the
full extent of his ability.

Road Repairman’s Idea
Wins Him $100 Award

ALBANY, Oct. 27 — Patching
the cracks in our State highways
with hot, sticky tar would seem
@ most unimaginative job to most
folks, But not to Leon V. Smith,
a Highway Maintenance Man of
Hamburg. As he walked along,
Patching this spot and that in the
road, he was thinking about his
work; how he could do it better,
quicker, neater.

“How can there be improve-
ment in such a simple operation
as pouring tar from a container
onto the highway?” you ask,
Well, here’s how:

The container for the tar is
called a tar pot, an elongated
cylindrical vessel, tapering down
to a narrow funnel-shaped outlet
at the bottom. There are a carry-
ing handle and a rod-like plunger
to close off the opening at the
‘bottom and thus control the flow
of material. It is customary to
carry this tar pot in one hand

and to operate the plunger with
the other. Mr. Smith ingeniously
rigged up a spring attachment on
the plunger whereby he could
operate it with the carrying hand,
Not only does this device facilitate
operation and make possible a
neater job, but it also saves ma-
terial by eliminating drippage.

The Department of Public
Works sidered the idea to be
So practical that it distributed
drawings of the device f

tricts, And to Mr. Smith,

Statutory Protection

However, if you are otherwise
for membership in the
National Guard, your appointing
officer cannot prevent your join-
ing nor can you be deprived of
possibilities of civil
ployment because of National
Guard membership. Section 1480
of the State Penal Law declares
that a person who wilfully de-
prives a member of the National
Guard of his employment or pre-
vents bis being employed by him-
self or by some one else, or ob-
structs or annoys the National
Guard member in respect. of his
employment because he is such a
member or dissuades any person
from enlisting by threatening in-
jury to him in respect to his em-
ployment is guilty of a misde-
meanor—a crime.

Jury Service Exemption

One of the incidents of con-
tinued National Guard member-
ship which, although not specially

related to civil service employ-
ment, is of interest because it
closel; resembles one of the
privileges of exempt volunteer

firemen is the matter of exemp-
tion from jury duty. Section 238
of the Military Law provides that

service em- |

concerned, the Military Law, by
amendment this year, provides
that every public officer or em-
ployee who becomes a member of
the National Guard shall be en-
| titled to absent himself from his

civil duties while engaged in the|

performance of ordered military
duty and shall be deemed to have
|a leave of absence for the dura-
|tion of such military duty. Dur-
ing his absence on such leave,
such officer or employee is en-
titled to be paid his civil service
|salary or compensation for a
period or periods not exceeding
30 days in any one continuous
{period of absence and not ex-
|ceeding 30 days in any one cal-
endar year.

The term “ordered” is em-
phasized because unless the duty
is ordered the leave of absence is
not mandatory,

No Veterans’ Preference

| It should be noted that service
in the National Guard does not
lentitle a person to claim veter-
|an’s or disabled veteran's prefer-
ence in appointment, promotion
or lay-off. Nor does it carry with
it the privileges against arbitrary
removal that are now accorded
to veterans and exempt volunteer

only new employees who apply for
the insurance within 90 days of
their date of sppointment may
apply.

Applications for the insurance,
with explanatory literature, may
be obtained from The Civil Serv:
ice Employees Association, Inc.,
Room 156, State Capitol, Alban 1,
N. ¥., or from its Westchester
Chapter headquarters in the
County Office Building,

The biggest feature of the
Group Life Insurance plan is its
low-cost. At age 39 or younger,
$1,000 life insurance may be ob-
tained at a cost of 30 cents per
semi-monthly pay day, and older
employees receive coverage at
slightly increased rates.

The plan pays for death due
to any cause whatsoever, with no
exceptions or restrictions, More
than $2,000,000.00 has been paid
to beneficiaries of deceased mem~-
bers of the plan—and claims are
ordinarily paid within 24 hours.

Payment of premiums is made
easy under the plan, as a plan of
payroll deductions for payment
of premiums has been arranged.

The low-cost Group Life In-
surance Plan fs worthy of careful
investigation by all State workers
and by employees of Westchester

NYC CHAPTER—By a vote of

to 8 the N¥C Chapter ap-
proved continuation of explora~
tory work looking toward the
formation of a Metropolitan Regi-
onal Conference, Already four

ynferences exist. The constitu-
n

of The Civil Service Em-
es Association authorizes not
than five. The Metropolitan
ference, if formed, would
hevefore be the last one,’ unless
the constitution is changed.

The vote followed a spirited de-
bule in which Victor J. Paltsits,
Representative on the Board of
Directors of the chapter from the
Bonking Department, was the
chiet protagonist for the forma~
tion of the Conference, and Solo-
mon Bendet, Representative from
the Insurance Department, led
the opposition. A letter from Wil-
liam K. Hopkins, Law Depart-
ment Representative, opposing the
chapter joining a Conference, was
read by Mr. Bendet, who is a

senting the Banking Department,
having been recently re-elected.

Eight chapters have indicated
interest in the formation of a
Metropolitan Conference. Because
of the membership of the NYC
chapter, around 3,000, compared
to the much smaller membership
of any of the seven other chap-
ters, special problems arise. These
will be discussed when time comes
to draft a constitution for the
proposed Conference. The con-
stitution would have to be ap-
proved by the Association.

Mrs. Marie A. Lauro, newly-
elected Financial Secretary, re-
ported that since October 1 the
chapter has cbtained 562 mem-
berships. These include renewals
and new members, all obtained
in a little more than three weeks.
President Michael L, Porta, com-
mented on the excellent mem-
bership showing. The Association
now has a membership drive on.
Recently headquarters sent Lau-
rence J. Hollister, Field Represen-
tative, to spend a week aiding
the chapter in getting out its
literature and bills. Nearly all the
bills are out already; the work
will be completed in a few days,
Kenneth A. Valentine, Chairman
of the membership committee,
announced.

resolutions proposed by the chap-
ter, which were adopted by the
Association, including a proposal
for a special session of the Legis-
lature to raise State employees’
pay and the hospital, medical
and surgical plan.

Mr. Paltsits suggested that in
the future resolutions to be voted
on by the delegates to the annual
meeting of the Association should
be in the hands of the chapters
well ahead of the opening of the
annual session, to assure knowl-
edge of their contents in time to
provide opportunity for chapter}
discussion and canvass of the sen-
timent of members. He spoke
glowingly of an editorial in the
October 14 issue of The LEADER,
which demanded a raise for State
workers as a must, and included
recommendation that the increase
be retroactive to October 1 last.

Mr. Porta appointed Kenneth
H. Brunjes as Representative of
the Committee for the Blind and
Martin Vulpis as Representative
of the State Insurance Fund, to
fill uhexpired terms, unless the
members in the departments
desire a special election.

In Praise of Dr. Bigelow
Editor, The LEADER:

Your report in the October 7
issue of a visit to Marcy State
Hospital states that the person-
nel of the hospital do not feel
that their Director has a friendly
interest in them, Such state-
ments can be most damaging to
the friendly, co-operative feeling
that exists between the person-
nel and management of our In-
stitutions today.

It has been my pleasure to
have been a representative of
employee groups that have had
many conferences with represen-
tatives of various divisions of
State Government, of which Dr,
Newton J, T. Bigelow, the Direc-
tor at Marcy, has often been a
member. I was on several occa-
sions a member of a committee
headed by Dr. Bigelow. I cannot
even recall one remark, one ges-
ture or action, that did indicate
to me that the Doctor was not in
sympathy with the group of em-
ployees of our Department, but I
do recall many pieces of advice,
many offered suggestions, many
actions taken by Dr. Bigelow, to-
ward representatives of the em-
Ployees of the Department that
showed definitely his interest and

Comment

his friendly attitude toward them,

I believe that you have i,
misinformed. I do not believe tha
It was your intent to raise a cone
troversy. 4

Employees recall when jj,
Superintendent “of a State Ho
pital was a supreme power, when
invitations to representatives tt
employee groups to discuss pro},
lems with him were just pj
dreams. There is a marked «is,
ference between the way Instity;
tions are run today, compared 1)
two decades ago.

The Directors of all of the In,
stitutions are strongly mindfy
their relationship to the person,
nel. They all want problems gy
the employees solved amicably,
They are in a position to fight
for their employees today, fight
for higher salary allocations, clas.
sifications of titles and reorganj,
zation of various divisions of thy
Institutions, so that employee
are rightfully classified and com,
pensated, and yes promoted too,
They are interested in the wo),

ployees and of the members of
their employees’ families too,
They are interested in their em.

Getting a U. 8S. Transfer

IS THERE ANY procedure for
obtaining a transfer from a Fed-
eral job in one state to a Federal
job in another state?—A.B.

The employee interested in a
transfer must apply to the agency
where he wishes to be employed.
If a vacancy exists and the
agency is willing to hire the em-
ployee, it will take the necessary
steps with the agency where the
employee currently is working.

Sequence of Eligible Lists
WHEN THE NYC Civil Service
Commission gives promotion and
open-competitive examinations for
the same title, which eligible list
is used first?—V.L,

The promotion eligible list.
When all eligibles on that list
have been canvassed the open-
competitive list is then used.

County Health Offices
I UNDERSTAND that several
State Health Department offices

Question, Please

are being turned over to counties.
What provisions, if any, are be-

ing made to protect the employery
in these offices?—L.M.

The program in operation js
substantially as follows: As {us}
as new county health departments
are established and these coun.
ties are removed from the Stites
district organization, certain
changes are made in the district
set-up which make necessary the
abolition of certain district offices,
Up until now two such offices
have been abolished, When this
takes place, the personnel em-
ployed by this department enjoy
all the benefits of civil service pro-
tection, In most instances, the
professional personnel is either
taken over or hired by the county
health department, or, if there are
vacant positions in the same tilles
the personnel is retained in \he
organization and transferred to
their districts, The clerical per-
sonnel is given the opportunity of
accepting vacant positions in
other offices of the department
and also have the opportunity
of accepting employment in (he
county health departments.

ALBANY, Oct. 27.—The Civil
Service Employees Association is
forming a group of State workers
to enter a group hospitalization

plan and a group medical-surgi-
eal plan. Only State employees
in the Capitol District are eligi-
ble for these particular plans.

Dr. Frank L, Tolman, President
of the Association, said in a state-
ment:

“On November 18, 1947 the
Association will create a new
group of State workers to enter
the Blue Cross Hospitalization
Plan, and the Blue Shield Medi-
cal-Surgical Plan. Only employees
who are enrolled, or become en~
rolled in the hospitalization plan
by November 18, 1947, may apply
for the Medical-Surgical Plan.

“Applications and explanatory
literature for both plans may be
obtained at Association Head-
quarters, Room 156, State Capitol,
Albany 1, N. Y.

“No payroll deduction plan is
available for either plan, Applica-
tions for either or both plans
must be filed at Association Head-
quarters on or before November
18, 1947. Annual or semi-annual
fees must accompany the applica-
tions when filed. These are two
separate plans. :

“Thousands of our members be-
long to the Blue Cross Hospital-
ization Plan and they and their
families have been saved sub-
stantial ~sums in hospital bills
during the nine years the plan
has been in operation. However,
the Blue Shield Medical-Surgical
Plan is comparatively new, first
being offered to State workers
last May, but it has helped ma-
terially members burdened with

FEDERAL NEWS
Pensions Should Provide For Dependents

Post Office Clerk
Federation Backs
$1,100 Raise Plea

Ephraim Handman, President
of the New York Federation of
Post Office Clerks announced
that the proposal of the postal
clerks in NYC to petition Con-
gress for an annual pay increase
of $1,100 had been unanimously
endorsed by the Bi-State Con-
vention of the New York and New
Jersey Federation of Post Office
Clerks, which cofivened at Pater-
son, N. J.

‘The convention, Mr. Handman
stated, requested that such in-
crease be made retroactive to
July 1 last.

NYC postal clerks, President
Handman declared, have long

| |

felt the pinch im by the
high cost of Living and find their
salaries totally inadequate. He

explained that before World War
II, postal salaries, while even in-|
adequate at that time, provided
a higher standard of living. In
order to restore former purchas-
ling power, it is necessary that the
| $1,100 increase be granted, he
| added.

U. S. Senators Ives, Wagner,
Langer and Congressional mem-
bers from the metropolitan area
have been requested to support
the salary increase drive, Mr.
Handman said.

would take advantage of the 50
per cent provision.

Increase Annuities

The bill now under considera-
tion provides that present annui-}
tants are to receive an peer]
in their annuities of 25 per cent,
or $300, whichever is the lesser.!
As this works out ,those who have|
lretired will receive greater annui-|
ties than future annuitants. Yor}
instance, an annuitant who has in)
the past worked 30 years for the|
government at $2,000 per annum
will, if the bill is enacted in its
present form, receive an annuity)
of $1,500; while an annuitant in
the future will receive only $1,350. |
An annuitant who was receiving)
$5,000 for 30 years will receive)
$2,443, while the same service by
@ present employee would only get
$2,250 as an annuity. While there
is general agreement that it is|
very difficult under present con-}
ditions for annuitants to get along}
on the annuities that many of}
them are receiving, it would seem}
that the additional amount nec-}
essary should be provided by the
general taxpayer rather than by

present em is estimated
that these annuities to

$25,000,000 for the first year, with
lessening amounts as the years
reduce the number of annuitants.

The bill now under considera-
tion will increase future annuities,

ployees. It
increased

-|particularly in the salary grades

of from $2,000 to $4,000, which
do cover a very large proportion
of employees. The increases in
these grades are unequal, but they
do result in more equitable an-

|nuities. For instance, the $2,000

employee retiring after 30 years
of service will receive an annuity
equaling 67 per cent of his salary;
and the $4,000 employee 49 per
cent. All employees receiving
$5,000 or over will have annuities
equalling 45 per cent of their sal-
aries.

Less Than Money’s Worth

It is this Jast group that may
find cause for complaint in the
new law, if it becomes a law in
its present form. Those in it
starting in the government serv-
ice now and paying 6 per cent for
30 years cannot get back in an-
nuities—not to mention the in-
terest—an amount to equal the
additional deductions made from
their salaries meantime. To take
an extreme case, the $10,000 man
would have $3,000 more deducted
from his salary during the 30
years because of the increase. Por
this $3,000, waich with compound
interest would about double dur-

"| ing the 30 years, he would get an

increased annuity of $214. His ex-
pectation of life if he retired at
65 would be a little over 13 years,
so that he would only get back

American Federation of Public

The bill is particularly advan-
tageous to persons who remain

vide for dependents. It hears so}

all life insurance is carried for

appointments from an eligible list
in December, 1948, This means
that a written test will be given
in mid-March, Surviving candi-
dates will take a qualifying medi-
cal test in May at 299 Broadway.
A competitive physical test will
begin in June at Van Cortlandt
Park. This permits the Commis-
sion time enough to compute rat-
ini id publish an eligible list

preference then will be checked
and the list promulgated by

quirements: A minimum height of

NYC Fireman Exam

January

at time of application; U. S. citi-
zenship, residence in the State at
filing and in NYC for three years
prior to appointment.

Age requirements will be figur-
ed in this way: Maximum age
will be computed on the basis of
the first day of filing, thus giving
borderline cases an added advan~-
tage. Veterans will be permitted
to deduct their period of service
including terminal leave time,
from their age. Men who still are
a few days over the age limit will
be permitted to deduct travel
time that the army or navy
granted from the discharge cen-
ter to their homes,

Fire Commissioner Frank J.
Quayle has announced that eligi-
bles on existing Fireman lists will
not be overlooked, These men will
be used to meet Department needs
until the new list is ready. All of
these eligibles probably will get

job offers.
The LEADER will publish the
complete, official requirements,

filing dates and other pertinent
information as soon as they are
made available by the Commis-
sion. Do not apply for the test
until the official announcement
is made in The LEADER.

for Special Patrolman in Decem-
ber, according to tentative plans
nnounced by the NYC Civil Serv-
ice Commission. Requirements
will be designed to qualify men
who were a little too short or a
little too old for the Patrolman

to fill jobs as Special Patrolman,

up the following requirements:

only 5 feet 7% inches; the age
limit will be 20 and 32 years;
20/30 vision in each eye, There
will be no formal education re-

borderline cases. All applicants
must be residents of NY State

filing. At the time of appoint-
ment eligibles must be resident

of the candidates will be tested
in a competitive physical test
next Spring. There also will be a
qualifying medical . examination

fill Watchman vacancies with the
Welfare Department and the NYC
Housing Authority, and Assistant
Fire Marshall th the Fire
Department.

for those applying will have top

These dates will be used ex-
clusively for Labor Class applica-

staff will be required to process
the operation. Hence the Special
Patrolman applications, when the
dates for their issue and receipt

December 2, 3 and 4, and most
likely will begin on December 9

Incentive to Relief Clients

One of the unusual features of
the Labor Class examination will
be a request, to be made by the

| Commission, through Acting Presi-

dent Joseph A. McNamara, to
Welfare Commissioner Benjamin
Fielding, that every effort be
made to get men and women who
are on relief to apply for these
jobs. This is in line with a policy
recently set by Mayor William
O'Dwyer that every effort be
made to obtain jobs for relief
clients, to reduce the relief rolls
by the number of recipients able
to get a job.

‘The filling of Labor Class jobs
in the past has not been wholly
without favoritism, as when the
Sanitation Department, in a pre-
vious administration, obtained a
crack baseball team by arranging
to have professiona} players smug-
gled at night in to an armory
where applications were to be
issued the next day, so they'd be
right up front and get appointed.
This result actually occurred by
the rule of first-come-first-served.
The Commission is going to take

3 MORE TESTS ON WAY

‘Three examinations have been
ordered by the NYC Civil Service
Commission. They are Chlorina-
tor Operator, Water Supply, Gas
and Electricity (Prom.); Labora-
tory Assistant (Bacteriology) and
Laboratory Assistant (Chemistry).

Another unusual aspect of the
recruitment for these jobs will be
the enlistment of the aid of
churches and synagogues, especial-
ly in selected areas from which
the recruitment is expected to be
preponderant.

The Columbus avenue building
is between 59th and 60th Streets.
It was inspected by a committee
headed by Dr. Frank A. Schaefer,
Secretary of the Commission, and
including Maurice Kostrin, Chief
of the Fiscal Bureau, and Joseph
Zweig, Chief of the Examining
Service Bureau, They approved it
completely.

The Commission will send
between 15 and 20 of its personnel
to work at the building on each
of the nine days. Also, notaries
will be there to take the candi-
dates’ acknowledgments, as all
applications for NYC jobs must
be made under oath. There will be
specialists also to watch for im-
personations, always a source of
trouble in such examinations.
The Commission means to catch
every impersonator and see that
he or she is punished.

The Welfare Department, where
Commissioner McNamara used to
work, will be asked to put up
placards at all its district offices,
and elsewhere, and have Social
Investigators notify each relief
client, of the job opportunities.
Comparison of response with the
effort toward recruitment will be
up to the Welfare Department.

U.S. Ruling Is Issued
On New Annual Leave

Special to The LEADER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27—Comp-
troller General Lindsay C. War-
ren has issued a ruling clearing
up administration of regulations
limiting Federal workers to 60
days of accumulated annual leave,
effective last July 25.

Federal employees will be per-
mitted to charge all annual leave
not exceeding 26 days against the
26 days granted during each cal-
endar year. Leave taken in excess
of the 26 days will be deducted
from employees’ accumulated
leave.

For example, suppose an em-

ployee has accumulated 70 days
annual leave as of July 25. He is
| permitted to carry over all of this
\leave to the next year. Suppose
| this employee takes 36 days an-
nual leave during the next year.
| This is 10 days more than he is
given for the year. This 10 days
| is deducted from his accumulated
leave and he now is permitted to
carry over only 60 days for the
following year. Thereafter he is
subject to the 60-day limitation,

During the war Federal em-
ployees were permitted to
cumulate a maximum of 90 days
of annual leave.

both the Fire and the Police De-
partments will be giving what are
usually called Christmas presents
to eligibles. More than that, the
promotion lists are being ex-
pedited for those departments, so
that promotions, as well as ap-
pointments, will be included in
the “Christmas honors.”

The Police Lieutenant eligible
list is not coming along as fast

reason is not too recondite. The
Police list will expire on Monday,
November 10 (the technical date
of November 9 being a Sunday).
Eligibles on the present list there-
fore would be left holding the

bag.
Rendering a Service

To avoid this, Commissioner
Wallander has obtained co-opera-
tion from Budget Director Thomas
J. Patterson and the Board of
Estimate, so that appropriations
for Sergeants could be used for
making Lieutenant promotions.
This operation unduly alarmed
Sergeant eligibles, who saw their
Promotion opportunities dwin-
dling, if not disappearing, The
official reason given by the Com-
missioner for his act was that it
conformed with “the recent re-
organization of the Police Depart-
ment creating additional divisions
and precincts,” and it did so con-
form, but the real reason was to
do justice to the Lieutenant eli-
gibles. Recently 45 Lieutenant po-
sitions were added, and only
Friday the Board of Estimate ap-
proved 35 more, always Sergeant
“vacancies” being dropped, to pro-
vide the money. As soon as the
present Police Lieutenant list is
exhausted, the light will turn
green for the new Police Lieu-
tenant list.

Stalemate Over a Resolution

There are 41 names on the ex-
isting Lieutenant list. Budget va-
cancies will provide jobs for 35
eligibles, while vacancies in pre-
viously-filled jobs will account for
the remaining six. Thus the list
will be cleaned up and the light
will change.

The Commission -recently pub-
lished its Rules and Regvlations.
These are as of September 30 last,
and arrangements were made with
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion to postpone action on four
pending NYC resolutions, so that
any possible change in the rules
would occur after, and not before,
the rules appeared in book form.
One proposed change that the
State Commission will not receive,
at least until President Ferdinand
Q. Morton returns to the NYC
Commission from his sick leave,
concerns authority to promote
without examination persons in
the title of Inspector of Markets,
Weights and Measures, under an
agreement made with the late
James E. Finegan when Presi-
veer of the NYC Commission, in
Commissioner McNamara voted
in favor of honoring the terms of
the agreement, a copy of which
is on file in the Commission’s
office, but Commissioner Esther
Bromley voted against it. Linked
with the resolution is the request
to extend the same benefit gen-
erally to the inspectional service,
on the ground that those who

Terminal Leave
Deductible From
Age in 3 Tests

The NYC Civil Service Com-
mission has eased maximum age
requirements for veterans in the
examinations where age
limits are set by law. Veterans
will be permitted to deduct ter-
minal leave as well as military
service from their age.

This affects veterans who were
over the maximum age limit by
a matter of days or weeks. Ex-
cept for the Patrolman (P.D.)
examination, this easing of re-
quirements is not retroactive. And
in the Patrolman test it applies
only to those persons who have
taken and passed the entire ex-
amination.

Dr, Frank A. Schaefer, Commis-
sion Secretary, said that the new
ruling applies only to the Patrol-
man, Fireman and Policewoman
tests. The Commission will con-
sider the feasability of including
other examinations with age
limits as they come up.

‘Until last year, terminal leave
applied only to officers. However,
Congress passed legislation grant-
ing retroactive terminal leave to
all enlisted men and former en-
listed members of the armed
forces.
Sel,
were in it at the time reclassifica-
tion was to benefit the Markets
Inspectors were equally entitled
to be promoted without examina~
tion. The 1-to-1 vote leaves the
whole proposition stymied.

McNamara Praises VA

‘The co-operation of the Veter-
ans Administration with the Com-
mission, in regard to difficulties
over disability ratings, received
high praise from Commissioner
McNamara. He said that the Fire
Lieutenant list was sent up to VA,
in connection with the new cer-
tificate forms for disposing of
wero per cent disability problems,
and that the VA is sending back
about 30 certificates a day. The
important questions on the new
certificate are whether the eligible
had a war-service disability and,
if so, whether it is in existence at
present. About two-thirds of the
so-called zero per cent cases
answered affirmatively to both,
Commissioner McNamara recalled,
the remainder negatively. The
primary preference to disabled
veterans applies only when the
answer is yes to both.

Mr. NcNamara thought that the
new certificates solved the prob-
lem of disposing of zero disability
cases and that the solution would
stick, regardless of court cases,
one of which was argued last
week before Supreme Court Jus-
tice Meehan by Attorney Robert
H. Schaffer, for the petitioners,
who seek primary preference, and
by Assistant Corporation Counsel
Frank Piazza, for NYC. Attorney
H, Eliot Kaplan appeared for
other eligibles than the petition-
ers. Briefs must be submitted by
counsel by November 5.

Fire Dept. Medical
Center Soon to Open

Fire Commissioner Frank J.
Quayle plans to open the new
quarters of the Medical Division,
at 278 Spring Street, on Novem-
ber 5 or 6. Dr. Arthur Wilsen,
Medical Officer in charge, report-
ed that conditions are satisfac-
tory for the opening.

The quarters have X-ray, fluor-
oscope and other diagnostic elec-
tronic devices. An elevator is
large enough to accommodate am-
bulance No. 3, already assigned
there. The department’s Surgical
Plan Staff will be located on the
Premises, moving from head-
quarters, and both the Manhat-
tan and Brooklyn Medical Divi-

+|sion will move there, also,

The Honor Emergency Fund
supplied the equipment. Opera-
tion will be under the Welfare
Committee of the department.

rapidly,” Commissioner McNamara
reported with supreme satisfac-
tion, “and we shall be able to
certify eligibles from the Fire
Lieutenant list either on the day
it is promulgated or the next day.
The first 40 names have been
cleared and we are now working
on the next batch.”

The significance of this remark
relates to the number of promo-
tions expected to be made. The
certification of 40 would take care
of 30 promotions expected. If
any report from the VA is un-
avoidably delayed, as is true in
the case of two men who were
officers in the army or navy, and
whose papers are in Washington,
either Commissioner Quayle would
leave two vacancies, for their pos-
sible early appointment if their
Papers clear, or would appoint
from the list as certified, on
which their names would be too
far down to be reached. However,
no problem exists, as Lieutenant
vacancies occur, through retire-
ments, deaths, resignations, etc.,|
and the two eligibles could be pro-
moted to two of. these, instead of
having to wait for the next gen-
eral batch of Fire Lieutenant pro-
lela which might be months
off.
The Fire Lieutenant list is ex-
pected to be ordered on next
Tuesday to be promulgated, so far
advanced is the veteran prefer-
ence claim work. This is good
news also to Fire eligibles, be-
cause every time any promotion
is made there is an additional
job for the Fireman eligible. If
the promotion is to Lieutenant,
present Firemen are promoted,
and the vacancy is obvious. Even
if the promotion is to Captain,
or higher rank, the lower ranks
move up to fill the next higher
vacancies, and the Fireman eligi-
ble again gets a break, because
@ present Fireman who becomes
tomorrow's Lieutenant creates a
Fireman vacancy.

Transit Exams Discussed

Asked about Board of Trans-
portation examinations, in which
there is high interest, Mr. Mc-
Namara said that as soon as the
Surface Line Operator list is
promulgated the Board of Trans-
portation will be prepared to ap-
Point 35 a week, and in addition
appoint all provisionals reached
for certification on the list as cer-
tified. The problem is one of train-
ing new men, which takes a
month. The provisionals have
been trained already. There are
about 1,000 provisionals in the
jobs, so 1,000 permanent appoint-
ments will be made as fast as
possible, including the granting of
permanency to provisionals who
are eligibles, provided they satis-
factorily complete their probation-
ary period. Provisionals who make
eligible lists have a very good
record regarding successful com-
Pletion of probationary periods.

The same problem of training,
though less in degree, exists re-
garding Railroad Clerk appoint-
ments. Training carfbe completed
in a few days. The rating has
been completed. The Commission
will try to get the list out as soon
as possible. The certifications will
be made at the rate of 250 a

Sanitation Man List

The Sanitation Man list is in
process, Mr. McNamara said in
answer to another question, and
estimated that it would be three
months or so before that list could
be promulgated, it is so large. He
would like to have it officially in
existence before the year is out,

but it doesn’t seem possible, He’s
hoping, howeve

if numerous, also are not absolute
disqualifications. If a man drove
taxi or truck he would likely ac-
cumulate some _ traffic tickets
over the years, whereas a pleasure
driver who had a stackful might
be considered impervious to the
need of obeying the law, as guilty
of a high percentage of infrac-
tions, compared to driving hours;
the truckman or chauffeur's per-
centage, even with far more nu-
merous tickets, would be com-
paratively insignificant. This is
not to be read by truck or taxi
drivers as an incitement to viola-
tions!

NEW YORK CITY NEWS

Decision by Court of Appeals
Affecting Pay of 15,000 Men
Expected to be Rendered Any Day

The LEADER

ALBANY. ‘0 t. 27.—A decision |
is expect to be handed down
any day now by the Court of

Appeals in a case involving, direct~

ly or indirectly, the 15,000 em-
ployees of NY ubject to Sec-
tion 220 of the Labor law, which

concerns payment to city mecha-
nics and others in the skilled and
semi-skilled trades of the rates of
pay prevailing in private industry.
The case was argued July 2, but
the legal issues were so involved
and so important that the Court.
of Appeals has had to study them
extensively,

The case is that of Evadam
Realty Company against NYC
Budget Director Thomas J. Patter-

son and other city officials. The
legality of agreements made by
the city with General Mechanics,
Motor Grad Blacksmiths and
Blacksmith's Helpers is the ob-
ject of attack, The petitioner,
through Attorne Harry Ba

formerly Law Secretary to ex-
Comptroller Joseph D, McGoldrick,

asserts that the Labor Law pro-
visions leave the city without
authority ke agreements,

to x

Pacts Held Up

NYC is holding in abeyance
about 35 similar agreement!
pending a declaration by the

Court of Appeals as to their legal-

Besid about 25 agreements
already are in force. If the legali-
ty is stained, the agreements,

past and prospective, would cover
about 6,000 employees of NYC. In
addition, however, all the other
employees who come under the
Labor provisions could be affected,
since agreements would then be
possible with all, if the employees
consent. There is a difference of
opinion among unions of em-
ployees as to the advisability and
legality of agreements.

The Evadam case was brought
as a proceeding under Article 78

jof the Civil Practice Act to enjoin
Mr. Patterson from honoring the
agreements, on the principal
grounds that there was no legal
authority to make them; that they
provided for retroactive pay,
which was said to be prohibited
by city laws; that they violate
the State labor iaw, and also that
the Budget Director and the
Board of Estimate have no legal
authority to dispose of claims, a
function given in the Charter on-
ly to the Comptroller.

Budget Issues, Too

Also at issue are the questions
whether the Board of Estimate
can establish budget positions
after the adoption of the budget,
and whether it can change the
base pay of a position after such
adoption, In previous cas the
Court of Appeals has tended to
answer the budget questions in
the negative—in the Broderick
case, affecting Acting Battalion
Chiefs, to frown on modifying the
budget, and in the Rushford case,
involving reduction of Court
Clerks’ pay, to prohibit a proposed
salary reduction,

In Special Term, N.Y. County,
a motion by Assistant Corporation
Counsel Harold Fishback to dis-
miss the petition was denied, on
the ground that there were tri-
able issues. The Appellate Divis-
jon dismissed the petition, but
wrote no opinion, On July 2, as an
emergency, along with cases in-
volving election disputes and rec-
ognition of zero per cent disabili-
ty as justifying disabled veteran
preference, the Court of Appeals
heard argument on the Evadam
issues.

Joseph Deeply Interested

Nearly half of the 15,000 em-
ployees of NYC who came under
Section 220 would be affected by
the Evadam case, because covered
by agreements already in effect or

agreemems already signed, but

If the Court of Appeals reverses
the Apellate Division, the whole
system of agreements in cases in-
volving employees subject to the
Section 220 will be terminated.

Comptroller Lazarus Joseph,
and his aide in labor cases, Deputy
Comptroller Morris Paris, are
eagerly awaiting a decision, as
it would importantly affect the
work of their office. If the Court
of Appeals sustains Attorney
Baer’s contentions, the Comptrol-
ler's contention, made at a Board
of Estimate meeting some months
ago, that such agreements are
illegal, would be confirmed,

CIO Group Protests

More than 200 mechanics
crowded into the office of Mr.
Paris the other night protested
against delay in the processing
of backpay checks and payment
of new wage rates covered by
agreements approved by the Board
of Estimate,

‘The men represented mechanics

Brooklyn Dime Bank
Past $500 Million

The resources of The Dime
Savings Bank of Brooklyn have
passed the half-a-billion dollar
mark. The Dime is the largest
savings bank in Brooklyn and Long
Island, the third largest in New
York State, and the fourth largest
savings bank in the United States.
George C. Johnson, President of
of the bank, issued the following

statement:

“It is our depositors who have
built this large accumulation of
wealth, They have numbered

gross
totaled more than $2,000,000,000
on which they have received over
$160,000,000 in interest dividends.

“A major part of the accumu-
lated wealth of our depositors is
invested for their benefit in U. S
Government, State, Municipal,
Public Utility and Railroad Bonds.
This money earns interest for
them and at the same time helps
to extend and finance such vital
public services as health, educa-
tion, police and fire protection
and transportation for the entire
community.

“Another important share of
the wealth of our depositors is
invested in mortgages on houses
and industrial buildings.

“Long Island too, in which the
Dime has invested great sums in
mortgage loans on homes, has
grown tremendously. We have
made mortgage loans of over
$412,000,000, mainly to home
owners.

“To our depositors we express
our thanks for the confidence they
have placed in us. They have
made us guardian of their savings.
We are constantly alert to this
responsibility.”

‘The Dime now pays 2 per cent
interest to its depositors—it has
never paid less—and interest is
paid from the day of deposit.
Depositors now total more than
274,000.

Recently The Dime has set
up a mortgage Consultant Depart-
ment with nine specially trained
mortgage consultants to give @
broader and more helpful service
to home loan borrowers.

studied. They depend on the
promigation by the NYC Civil
Service Commission of promotion
eligible lists and also on budg
possibilities. It is figured at he:
quarters that putting the officers
on the 9-and-15 plan would cost
about $200,000 a year, as around
40 more officers would be required.
There is no budgetary appropri-
ation under the personal service
code for such addition, but ways
are being sought for raising the
money by transfer of funds. No-
thing definite about this been
arranged yet.

Fire Commissioner Frank J.
Quayle is eager to effectuate the
change in hours just as soon as
Possible, especially as it now rep-
resents the sentiment of a plural-
ity of the officers.

The next regular meeting of
the UFOA will be held at 8 p.m.
on Monday, November 3, at the

Hotel Martinque, 32nd Street and
Broadway. That is the final op-
portunity for submission of peti-
tions nominating candidates for

e e
W. are pleased to announce that the resources of The Dime B | | | I on Dol la rs |
Savings Bank of Brooklyn have reached one-half billion dollars. e

Our Bank is the largest Sayings Bank in Brooklyn, the third »
in New York State, and the fourth in the United States.

It is our depositors who have built this large accumulation of
wealth. They have numbered more than a million and a half since
the founding of the Bank in 1859. Within that period their gross
deposits in our Bank haye totaled more than $2,000,000,000 on
which they haye received over $160,000,000 in interest dividends.

A major part of the accumulated wealth of our depositors is
invested for their benefit in U. S. Government, State, Municipal,
Publie Utility and Railroad Bonds. This money earns interest for
them and at the same time helps to extend and finance such vital
public services as health, education, police and fire protection
and transportation for the entire community.

Another important share of the wealth of our depositors is
invested in mortgages on houses and industrial buildings. The
growth of the Dime, founded before the Civil War, has paralleled
the great growth and prosperity of Brooklyn. We have financed,
and are continuing to finance, the building and purchase of a vast
number of Brooklyn homes to house the more than 2,798,000
people in “the greater City’s greatest borough.” As Brooklyn
industry has rapidly expanded, we have also met in substantial
degree its increased need for mortgage financing.

Long Island too, in which the Dime has invested great sums in
mortgage loans on homes in its thriving communities, has grown
tremendously, not only in the number and extent of its residential
developments, but also in its industries.

We have made mortgage loans of over $412,000,000, mainly
to home owners.

'To our depositors we express our thanks for the confidence they

We are proud (and we know our depositors are glad),

have placed in us. They have made us guardian of their savings. that The Dime has been able to maintain this rate of
We are constantly alert to this responsibility. In the future, as interest for so long a time,
in the past, we shall continue to aid the prospective home owner
to buy or build his own home under a prudent financial plan that Open an account from $5 to 7,500. Interest paid
will enable him and his family to possess in time a debt-free home from day of deposit. For your convenience, we're open
