Democratic majorities in the

Jems-of State finance are comp-
Heated not only in fiscal terms
but political ones as well and
this delicate matter will not be
resolved in a few days.

Furthermore, as this column
pointed out last week, many new-
ly-elected legislators have a repu-
tation to make both in terms of
the Legislature and local head-
Jines in the newspapers back
home. They need the opportunity
of time—a long session—to do
this and is one of the biggest
Teasons that an early closing is
not expected.

mations have numerous minor

measures they would like to get

passed but cannot even get at-

ments of their organizations and

must pay a bridge toll to get to

working on the island under other
Jurisdictions don't have to pay
the toll. This bill has gone right
down to the wire on many & leg-
islative session but was then
snowed under in the hurry to
close down the Legislature. Its
passage would effect only @ very
small part of the Bmployees Asso-

part of the membership the toll
has been a strong irritant for
years,

As a matter of fact, It is leg-

tions for individual units of gov-
ernment that are the hardest to

so few people are affected. It's a
collection of these few that make
up the whole membership, how-
ever, and there are numerous
pieces of this type of legislation
that employee organisations feel

them to be taken up.

EVIDENCE TO
AGAINST HIM AT A REMOVAL
HEARING?

What Happened: When they
eonduct employee-removal pro-
ceedings, some agencies play their
cards close to the chest. They
fear that evidence too clearly
spelled out often exposes—and
cuts off—valuable sources of in-
formation

Conversely, the accused em-
ployee anxiously tries to learn all
hhe can about evidence against him
(particularly in advance of the

hearing.) The more he knows,
the better he can fight
charges.

@ These conflicting views often
produce such a tug-of-war at

the removal hearing that
the case winds up in the
courts.

ment of Agriculture county office

Civil Service In
Pakistan Subject
Of Recent Book

The power of the civil service
to determine the viability and di-
rection of democracy in a new
nation is the subject of a new
book by Henry Frank Goodnow,
“The Civil Service of Pakistan—
Bureaucracy in a New Nation

(Mew Haven: Yale University
Press).
During three centuries of

British rule over India, including
what is now Pakistan, the bu-
reaucracy was run by the famed
Indian civil service,

The tendency since Pakistan
became independent has been to

|follow the systematic though not
| always efficient procedures of the

Relations

to house this educational army.

ALONG WITH 850 school
buildings, these are the “nutshell”
figures of the New York City
public school system, largest
single educational complex in the
world.

HUMANIZING THESE astro-
nomical numbers ts probably one
of the toughest public relations
assignments in the books. It is
made even more difficult by ex-
traneous occurrences, which gen-
erate headlines about “sit-ins,”
“sit - outs,” “sit- downs,” “boy-
and “boycotts of boycotts.”

CURIOUSLY ENOUGH, a first
rate teacher and writer rather
than a public relations profes-
sional, has successfully humanized
the numbers which translate into
New York City’s public schools.

THE ACHIEVEMENT is all the
more praiseworthy because Miss
Bel Kaufman uses the novel to
breath life, warmth and under-
standing into the numbers, In so
doing, Miss Kaufman has ren-
dered a major public relations
peep to the cause of education.
After all, public relations involves
the two-way street of communica-
tions and understanding,

IN “UP THE DOWN STAIR-
CASE” ($4.95: Prentice-Hall),
Miss Kaufman peints a sharply
realistic picture of dedicated,
talented teachers—and those not
so endowed; gifted students, as
well as unruly, irreverent pupils,
and a bureaucracy, the ineffi-
ciency of which increases in pro-
portion ot ite size,

SOMETIMES THE picture of
the dedicated, selfless heroine,
Miss Sylvia Barrett, is painted in

bright, pleasing pastels. When
Miss Kaufman reports her
heroine's discouragements, the

canvas is heavy with shades of
black and grey, Of course bu-
reaucracy calls for a sparkling
red to color the endless tape.

THERE ARE MANY “messages”
which come from Miss Kaufman's
typewriter. The strongest seems
ty be that teachers, who comprise
the largest single group of civil
servants in New York State, have
@ tough job which ts not made
any easier by taxpaying and
parent “publics” who have little
or no idea of the problems teach-
ers face

Number of Negroes
In High-Pay Class
Increased Last Year

For the third year in a row,
the number of Negroes holding
higher-paying Government jobs
has increased over the previous
year, according to the annual
minority census report taken for
the President's Committee on
Equal Employment Opportunity,

In a statement accompanying
the committee's report, President
Johnson said, “This progress is
the result of affirmative and per-
sistant efforts by the Federal
agencies to hire, train and pro-
mote on the basis of merit alone,
without consideration of irrele-
vencies such as race and ances-
try.”

The committee told Mr. John-
son the increase in employment
of Negroes and other minorities
in the middie and upper grades
was made despite a drop in over-
all minority employment in line
with the general cutback in Fed-
eral employment.

‘The report said similar gains
in Negro employment occurred
in upper levels of blue collar,
postal and other pay categories.

The number of Negroes em-
ployed by the Government in all
pay categories was 299,430 or 13.2
per cent of the total work force.

25 Of 38 Agencies

82 Years Old

Career Promotions—
Good Government

HE New York City Transit Authority last week announced

the appointment of Harold J, McLaughlin, a career em-
ployee to the Authority's highest operating post.

‘The 49-year-old McLaughlin, the son of a motorman on
the old Sixth Avenue Elevated, started his career as a change
booth agent during the Great Depression in 1935.

This promotion is just one more example of what we
hope is a trend in civil service to promote from within.

Martin Scott who started as a fire alarm dispatcher over
40 years ago rose through the Fire Department ranks to the
position as Chief Fire Marshal and executive assistant to the
Fire Commissioner. His loyal service to the department was
rewarded last year when he was named Fire Commissioner
by Mayor Wagner.

This principle of promoting top executives from the
ranks, thereby recognizing the civil service employee for his
true worth, should be spread throughout every system in the

country.

Law & You

By WILLIAM GOFFEN
TERRA
(Mr, Geffen, a member of the New York Bar, teaches law at the

College of the City ef New York, is the author of many books and
articles and co-authored “New York Criminal Law.”) |

THE LIFE of a civil service eligible list is fixed by statute /
at a maximum of four years. Upon the list’s expiration, any
rights deriving from it expire. The practical consequence
accordingly is that a petitioner for judicial relief must com-
ply with two time hazards, He must institute Court proceed-
ings while the list is still alive, as well as comply with the
four-month statute of limitations.

THE APPELLATE Division, First Department, considered sj

the problem when a group of police Heutenants moved for a
rehearing of a petition for review of their marks on an
examination for Captain (Singer v. Schechter). The appli-
cation for a rehearing was based upon facts newly discover-
ed during the trial of Cohen v. Schechter. (See this column
in the November 3, 1964, issue of The Civil Service Leader).
That trial raised the question whether the examination had
been properly graded.

THOUGH THE REQUEST for rehearing had been brought
more than four years after dismissal of the proceeding, the
proceeding itself had been instituted within the four-month
limitation. The Civil Service Commission, however, sought @
dismissal because of the interim expiration of the list. In

denying such a consequence and remanding the case for
trfal, the Court said:

This proceeding was instituted before the promotion list ex-
pired and within the four-month statutory limitation . . . Never-
theless the commission asserts that the automatic expiration of
the list (Civil Service Law, sec. 56) cut off any rights petitioners
otherwise had. Such a harsh result need not be considered, because
even if it were true that petitioners cannot be appointed after
expiration of the list, the proceeding is not rendered moot.

THE COMMISSION had also contended the petitioners
Should be barred because they had allowed four years to
elapse without prosecuting their appeal from the dismissal
(laches). The Court held this issue should be decided at the
trial, stating:

It may be that laches may also be asserted or proven with
respect to prosecution of the appeals. Petitioners, of course, ex-
plain the delay in the appeals by their awaiting the results in the
Cohen case, supra. That, too, is a matter for determination as an
issue of fact,

ANOTHER GROUP of police lieutenants sought to in-
tervene in the same proceeding. Their position was the same
as the Singer petitioners except that they had not instituted
action before the automatic expiration of the eligible list. The
petition was denied without opinion, but it is reasonable to
assume that if the petitioners had started their action while
the list was alive, they would have been granted relief. In-
deed, there are a number of precedents the effect of which
is to keep an eligible list alive for the benefit of litigants
who instituted action during the life of the list but who
were unable to conclude the suit until after the list’s ex-
piration.

ON THE OTHER hand, in the leading case of Cash y,
Bates, the Court of Appeals reversed the dismissal of a peti-
tion by a group of disabled veterans for appointment to the
position of motor vehicle license examiner, even though the
proceeding was brought after the expiration of the list and
four years after the act of which Court review was desired,

THE HIGH COURT disposed of the defense of the statute
of limitations on the ground the failure to appoint the petl-
tidners was a continuing wrong, Concerning the expiration
of the list, the Court ruled:

On the other hand, the respondents are right when they say
that appointment of any of the petitioners after the expiration of
the eligible list was a legal impossibility, and they are right, too,
when they say that they could not stop themselves from asserting
the fact of such expiration . . . Even so, the erroneous appoint-
ments—though made in good faith—ought to be open to attack by
the petitioners, because as citizens and taxpayers they are entitled
to an opportunity to insist upon the construction which this court
placed upon the civil service article of the State Constitution ,

YET, ONE wonders whether Judge Fuld’s lone dissent was
not more realistic in recognizing that since the voiding of the
erroneous appointments could not lead to designation of the
petitioners from the dead list, the petition should have been
dismissed,

Arthur Kasson Jr,, Onondaga

Kasson noted that the Chapter
had asked—in one of its five re-
quests submitted early last year—
that employees’ hours not be ex-
tended,

He also had made similar re-
jaueete in several oral discussions
}with Mulroy during the year.
Mulroy, last week, announced
he would wait unti} next year be-
}fore deciding whether a 35-hour
work week would be set for all
County employees. He did not
want to institute longer hours for
about 800 workers now working)

|

he could boost wages at the same)
time, the County executive said.

Pay Plan Dissatisfaction

Mulroy also said he was “not
satisfied” with the new County |
salary plan, which has been at-
‘tacked privately by many employ- |
ees and executives. Critics say the
plan, which went into effect this
year, gave a large number of the |
County's approximately 2,300 em-

ployees “token raises” of under
$25 annually. |
About 800 County employees

work 32%,-hour weeks, 200 work
35 hours and 1,300, or more than
one-half, 40 hours weekly, Critics
also have pointed out that many
employees who work less than 40
hours for which they receive no
| pay. Court attendants and clerks,
for example, receive no extra pay
for hours over time waiting for
juries to return verdicts,

Compliment Paid

Kasson also expressed the

Working Hours,

mbers and officers were “very

| pleased” with the decision of County Executive John H,
Mulroy not to increase working hours of County employees,

chapter president, said,

gratitude of the Chapter to Mule
roy.

“And.” he said, “this means
that County Executive Mulroy te
taking a further look into the

YOU DON’T GAMBLE

The sporting instinct has {ts pleasant side. But you'll agree that gam-

bling is foolhardy when the stakes are your family’s health and a big bite out
of your paycheck,

In comparing medical plans, why not do a little handicapping on your

own and see what kind of odds each plan offers you. You might ask a few
questions on past performance, such as:

Qa

A.

HiP

Would I be taking a chance on having to pay extra doctors’ charges in a
cash allowance program, even though it talks about “paid-in-full” benefits?

You certainly are taking that chance in a cash allowance plan. Programs
of that kind can’t protect you against unexpected doctor bills for many
services. A major New York City union found that two-thirds of its mem-
bers who had been hospitalized under a cash allowance plan had to pay the
doctor more than the plan allowed. The “extra” payment averaged $177! In
11 percent of the cases the extra payment was $300 or more! Another un-
jon found that two-thirds of its members had to pay doctors’ fees over and
above the plan’s allowances for care in and out of the hospital.

It was to overcome just such extra payments that H.I.P. was founded by
Mayor La Guardia and selected as the best plan for City employees by
later administrations, Only H.1.P., with its newer way of paying in advance
for medical care provided through groups of highly qualified family doc-
tors and specialists, can really protect you against extra charges,

Am I willing to take a chance on maternity care?

In one New York cash allowance program, maternity care is never a “paid-
in-full” benefit. In another program it is a $125 “paid-in-full” allowance only
if a doctor is picked from a panel of “Participating Family Doctors”, But
this panel is made up mainly of general practitioners—not obstetricians. In
H.LP, there is never any question of cost for complete maternity care by
obstetrical specialists.

H.1.P.’s high standards require that babies be delivered only by obstetrical
specialists—not by general practitioners. This reduces another very im-
portant area of chance, Perhaps you remember seeing this headline in
the New York Times, “Maternity Study Favors H.I.P, Care”. Or this one
in the Herald-Tribune, “Birth Record Found Better Under H.I.P.”

Any medical expense plan can claim to offer complete

found in the number of doctors who support it ..,

in the freedom of choice your members have in

20,000 Participating Physicians—twice as many as
the next largest plan,

Oneida County Rejects
8-Point Plan Without
Facts, Mathews Charges

(From Leader Correspondent)

UTICA, Feb. 1 — The executive council of the Oneida County chapter, Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn., has criticized the Board of Supervisors for rejecting a Chapter
request for County assumption of 8 percent of employees’ contributions to the retire-

‘ment system.

‘The rejection came in a report
from the planning, research and
personnel committee of the board.
‘There was no comment when the
report was submitted at a meet-
Ing of the supervisors.

Reasons For Rejection

Pive reasons were cited by the)

committee in rejecting the re-
quest. They were:

(1) The cost to the County
would be too high. (2) The Coun-
ty contributes “generously” to the
retirement fund. (3) The retire-
ment system would become virtu-
ally non-contributory for employ-

ees. (4) Assumption of the con-
tribution would amount to
‘across-the-board salary in-
creases” for only the employees

in the system
ig being studied.
After the committee report, the
CSEA council met and authorized
Joseph A. Mathews, president of
the Chapter, to refute the state-
ments made by the committee.
‘The report “again demonstrated
® lack of progressiveness and in-
terest in the welfare of the em-
ployees by the Board of Super-
visors,” Mathews said. “Through
the lackadaisical attitude of some
Members and action without facts
of others, much progressive leg-
islation for the county is allowed
to be killed or die a slow death in
committee without an opportunity
for action by ‘the full board.”

Mathew’s Rebuttal

(5) A salary plan

Mathews then commented on
the reasons cited by the commit-
tee

As to the point that the County
already contributes generously at
the rate of 7 to 7% per cent of
employees’ salaries, Mathews said
this was a mandatory payment
for munictpalities participating
in the State Retirement System.
‘The payment is applied to the
pension portion of the retirement

and not the annuity to which the president,

employee contributes.

Mathews also said that State
Comptrotier Arthur Levitt has
advocated that the State Retire-

|ment System be made non-con-
|tributory and that Governor
|Rockefeller has endorsed legisia-
tion to this effect

“Assumption of 8 percent will
not make it non-contributory as
| employee contribution rates range
|from 6.45 to 13.6 ‘percent of em-
ployees’ salaries,” he added

“Two of the five reasons are
contradictory.” Mathews sald.
“One states that it would be un-
|fair to employees who are not
|members of the system and an-
other states that if the County
assumes the payments non-mem-
bers would Join, making the cost
high.”

“In the first place, the 8 per-
cent can not in any way be con-
sidered a salary increase. It mere-
ly increases the take-home pay of
the employee. This money Is ap-
piled to the pension portion of
|retirement and not the annuity
portion. Any member may elect
to continue his normal contribu-
| tion thus building up the amount
he’ will receive at retirement.”

Can't Afford It
| “Those employees who are non-
members, other than elective and
exempt employees with question-
able tenure, are largely in lower
|paid salary grades and cannot
jafford the rement deduction
from their salary checks.”

Binghamton Hospital
Credit Union Names
Board Of Directors

The Binghamton State Hospital |

Federal Credit Union elected its
board of directors at a recent
meeting.
The following officers were
selected: president, Ralph M.
Hutta; first vice president
Aloyisious Sweeney; second vice
Helen K. McAndrews;

treasurer, William Carter; secre-
tary, Gr Lord and board
members, Bessie Easterwood and

| Leslie Newton.

“By the same token, these em-
ployees have no provision for their
retirement years and if by the 8
percent assumption they should
join, the County would be fulfill-

ing an obligation to these employ-)

ees and thelr morale would be im-
proved.”*
As for postponing action be-

cause of the salary plan study, )

Mathews said the increased con-
tribution would be a fringe bene-
fit and should have no bearing
| on the plan.

“Although this Association was
jand is in favor of the salary plan,
any review made should be con-
| centrated on placing of positions
in a salary grade which adequate-
l. recompenses the employee,” he
said.

He also said the Association
had been led to belleve in 1963
that the salary plan would result
in better salaries.

Mathews also pointed out that
the cost to the County would be
5.92 percent, not 8 percent, be-
cause of the actuarial tables used,

No Meeting

“The committee did not meet
with employee representatives in
considering the request,” Mathews
said. “Had we been granted this

consideration, the committee
would have had all facts
presented and we feel  cer-
tain a more intelligent report

would have been issued. In the
face of this, and the lack of a
minority report, the Chapter and
its watchdog committee can only
assume that all committee mem-
bers voted against our request,”

Mathews said the Chapter
would continue to “fight for this
benefit.”

would reduce to 7.5 cents per
mile the reimbursement for per-
sonal cars used in preference to
available pool cars. The Associa-
tion claims that the current nine-
cents per mile for the personal
ear reimbursement does not fully
reimburse the employee for the
actual cost in making his car
| available for State business. Con-
sequently, CSEA does not feel
that the use of the personally-
owned car should be ‘reimbursed
at 7.5 cents just because a State
car is available.

recommendations:

@ Space be made available on

Feily, Bendet Statement

In a joint statement, Feily and
Solomon Bendet, chairman of the

“The Governor's budget mess-
age is ample testimony that we

will go from Grade 5 to 6; staff
attendants from Grade 7 to. 8;
practical nurse, from Grade 6 to

7; staff nurse, from Grade 9 to
10, and head nurse, froré Grade
11 to 12. In addition, new super-
visory positions will be estimated
for evening and night shifts to
supervise wards. An appropriate
title will be established for this
position and will be allocated to
Grade 7.

In all, some 30,000 employees in
the Department of Mental Hy-
giene will be affected by the re-
allocations. An effective date will
be announced, Procedures under
which the veallocations are ex-
pected to be implemented will be

POUGHKEEPSIE, Feb. 1 —
Thirty persons submitted, in
writing and over their sign-
ature, examples of inequities
in the vresent Dutchess County
salary schedule, including classi-
fications, promotions, vacation
and sick leave, reinstatements
and longevity payments, at an
annual grievance meeting of the
County unit, Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn., last week at the
Dutchess County Courthouse.

‘The more than 60 persons at-
tending heard Matthew Netter,
president, declare, “I feel concrete
examples of inequities will fur-
ther point up to the County Of-
ficers and Compensation Com-
mittee of the Board of Super-
visors the urgent need for @
thorough study of the salary
schedule to be started imme-
diately.”

The officers of the unit, who
met three times with the com-
mittee last year, plan to collate
grievances as they are submitted
and request a series of meetings
with the committee, the first
tentatively set for this week. Mrs.
Margaret Seymour, vice presi-
dent, and Mrs. Beatrice Shef-
field, recording secretary, will
join Netter in meetings with the
committee.

cedure for State employes.

CSBEA made known its objec-
tions through its president, Jo-
seph P. Feily, to Samuel R. Pierce,
Jr. and William J, Isaacson, of
the Grievance Appeals Board.
‘The objections pertain to new
regulations which state that no-
tice of determination of agency
head should be made within fif-
teen days In cases where no hear-
ing is requested or held; and
within thirty days of the date
of hearing where a second stage
hearing is held.

“Stage Three” Cases

Also announced by the Board
was ® modification to forty-five
days for determination in stage
three cases where a hearing be-
|fore the Board is held. The new
|regulation states that, “Determin-
\ation of the Board shall be made
wtihin forty-five days after the
Board’s hearing or the date fixed
for submission of briefs or sup-
plemental statements requested

by the Board. The employee, his |

2y\ (SEA Objects To New
Grievance Time Limits

ALBANY, Feb, 1—The Civil Service Employees Assh, has
objected to new time limitations under which a decision must
be announced at the agency head level of the grievance pro~

notified in writing of the decision
of the Board.”

Concerning this procedure,
Feily said “We feel that a 45-day
wait for decision after a hearing
is much too long a period, and
we urge that this be reduced te
15 days.” Peily also said this
would seem to be “sufficient”
for a final determination by any
agency head.

“Disappointed”

‘With respect to the thirty-day
Umitations on agency heads,
Peily said “we are very disap-
pointed by the action taken.” He
said “We understand that the
previous five - day limitation,
which was removed, was removed
through error, and now we find
that your Grievance Appeals
Board has reinstated a time limit
which is far less liberal to our
members than the previous limi-+
tation which was removed."

CSEA also asked that the
Board urge all agencies to rein-
state in their grievance proced-
ure the time limitation finally

The plan still under discussion
for use of accumulated sick leave
credits upon retirement is to use
the credits to pay for the pre-
mium of the State Health In-
surance Plan of retired employees
jat a time when they need it
most,

“Although this is not every-

area,” a CSEA spokesman said.

Bank examiners has given
unanimous approval for the
