Readying Resolution
On State Pay Raise

An increase; meeting In a matter of minutes,

The first proposal, offered by
Cornelius Rush of Green Haven
Prison, would have set dues at
$7.50, with fifty cents of this be-
ing refunded to chapters In addi-
to the regular refund. In
| addition, a 38-cent-per-week pay-
|ment would be considered Inter if
a dues c

tion

k-off came into effect,
This resolution was tabled.
Separate Votes

The subsequent proposals, al-
though along similar lines, con-
tained a variety of ammendments
that would have been impossible
for the body to act on with de~
gree of unity.

| At this point, John T, DeGraff,
CSEA counsel, suggested that each
phase of the increase be voted on
separately,

A motion was made to vote on
whether or not the delegates ap-
proved of a dues increase. The ma-
jority vote authorized a dues raise,

Pollowing this, it was propased
that the dues be made $8 for all
members, A roll ¢all vote rejected
this figure 407 to 217

It was at this point that a flat
dues rate of $7.50, accompanied by
a flat refund of $1.50 to chapters,

| Was proposed by Irving Flaumen-
baum, president of the Nassau
|County chapter. An amendment
to the motion d that the in-
crease be good for a single year,

and that the president in the
meantime appoint a committee to
y ond evaluate the financial

‘The Board of Directors had been
asked to consider a five-man board
as an alternative. This board would
have consisted of Mr. Meecham,
& public representative, an ap-
pointee from the Labor Depart-
ment with experience in labor re-
lations, a State employee nomi-
nated by the CSEA, and one nomi-
nated jointly by the AFL and CIO

be by the President of the Civil
Service Commission.

John T. DeGraff, CSEA counsel,

plans, sald that although the five-
man board would have employee
representation, its set-up would
“turn the board into a bargaining

one.”

Human Side

Of the Tax Dept.

Meet Nat Mitchell — The Unique Investigator

ONE of the most effective investigators in
New York State, possibly one of the best in
the nation, doesn’t Jook like an investigator,
doesn't talk like an investigator, doesn’t act
Uke an investigator, There's nothing of the
detective about him; nothing to suggest po-
ioe methods or police “environment,” There's
mo ruthlessness, no “get your man” attitude,

But Nat Mitchell, who keeps poetry in
hile desk and does magic tricks as an ayoca-
tion, is fabulously successful in guiding the
treasury of New York State, His work, and
that of his team of 40 assistants, brings more than $2,000,000 a year
te the State's coffers that would otherwise remain in the hands of |
tax-evacders, |

Civil Service Man

As Director of the Special Investigations Bureau, Department of |
Taxation and Finance, Nathan H. Mitchell is # civil service employee, |
and won the position through the arduous channels of competitive
examination,

He had been connected with Thomas E Dewey in the early
Facket-busting days of the 1930's; and as Dewey's assistant chief ac-
countant, he helped break open many a@ flourishing racket. His work |
in those days helped end the spectacular and vicious Murder, Inc,

He Works Quietly

‘This pleasant-talking accountant is no less effective than an PBI
Man when he's on the tratl of a tax-delinquent citizen, But his meth-
ods are quiet, He is not anxious to send a man to jail. He is anxious
to see to it that New York State gets the money due it Irom taxes,
He ts often likely to work this way:

He'll call in a suspected tax-evader, and in his quiet way, state
what the facts indicate. Is the tax-evader willing to act justly, pay
his debt—plus penalties? If not, there would inevitably be consequen-
ces, which the Tax Department would be most reluctant to impose,
Often the suspect will deny the charge or come up with an airtight
story that might sound convincing, But then Mitchell will say some-
thing like this; “Mr. A, you've told us about your two bank accounts,
Haven't you a third?" “No!” says the visitor, “I'm so pleased to hear
1," Mitchell might then rejoin, ‘because we have found an account
fa such and such « bank under a name that's Just like yours, and the
signature is even written the same way.”

He acts from facts.

Mitchell The Magician

But he uses his magic effectively, too, He breaks down fear and
suspicion in visitors by showing them a card trick or a coin trick,
He loves his magic, and is active in the American Society of Magicians,

He got interested in the hobby about four years ago, when another |
accountant came in and showed him @ card trick, Since then, he has
read avidly of the literature of magic, and learned tricks from some of
the best magicians in the business. He puts on shows at many kinds
of benefits; and has become an able showman in addition to a good
magician, Now all you have to do is give him a platform and a pack
of cards,

He likes to tell stor too, Mostly about his experiences, Or about

the experiences of tax-evaders,

The Man Who Couldn't Sleep

There's the tale about a man who was suffering from high blood
pressure and insomula. Hit clan could find no organic cause for
the trouble, and adviowd fh ieit to see & psychiatrist, Under psy-
choanalysis, the f mt roveded he had evaded his State income
tax, The psychiatrist proserived coniession to the authorities, The pa-
tient took his advice. Hiy blood pressure immediately returned to
normal and he slept weil, The State dida't prosecute, |

“That's our policy,” Mitchell explains, "We don't wish to pros-
eoute—we wish to collect what's

But most violations are uncovered through painstaking digging.

Headlines Tell The Story

The headlines over the years wil a dramatic story of the work}
done by Mitchell und his staff, Here are a few typical ones, avlected

Final Victory

ALBANY, Aug, 1—The State Ci-
vil Service Commission approved
& resolution adopted by the NYC
Civil Service Commission where-
by the current NYC patrolman list
is continued for its maximum Je-
wal life of four years, or until ex-
hausted. This benofits fifty-five
under-age eligibles particularly,
They would not have reached 21
by September 29, when the NYC
Personnal Department intended to
effectuate a new police lst, About
30 under-age eligibles would reach
21 on or before September 29.

The “youngsters” formed the
Under-Age Eligibles Association
and retained Attorney H. Elliot
Kaplan to wage their case before
the NYC Commission,

It's Now The Law

Appointments to the police force
Will be made from the continued
list before any are made from the
new lst,

The “youngsters” are the main-
stay of the new list, Although
about 800 eligibles remain, there
ure few active names, and, aside
from the “youngsters,” few are ex-
pected to pass the departmental
test and the investigation, or ac-
cept appointment,

The resolution amended the
NYC rules, The amendment ts
now official.

Grows

For Inquiry on |
State Pensions \

At least three sources have re-
commended that the State investi-
gate the muddle over denial of
membership in the State Employ-
ees Retirement System to persons
employed under contract,

The Civil Service Reform Asso- |

elation called for a related inquiry
by the State Civil Service Commis-
sion.

Dr. Paul Studensk!, professor of
economics at New York University,
employed by the State on & con-
tract basis, wrote Comptroller Ar-
thur Levitt, not only asking for an
inquiry, but pointing out what he
considered flaws in the formal
opinion rendered by Attorney
General Jacob K. Javits, holding
that those employed under con-
tract are ineligible for membership
in the system, Dr, Studensk! is one
of the 10 or more whose member-
ship in the system was terminated
as the result of the Attorney Gen-
eral's opinion.

LEADER Started Disctssion

In addition, The LEADER gave
reasons (see column, Page 6) why
an inquiry by an impartial and
should be
made, starting soon, so that a re-
port could be submitted to the
Comptroller In time for any pos-
sible action by the next session of
the Legisiature that meets in
January.

‘The story about the contract-
pension situation was published
exclusively in The LEADER and
resulted in widespread repercus-
stons, Practically everybody em-
ployed by the State talked about

it and is still talking, Those em
ployed under contract are inter+
ested because they may hope to be
such after retirement on a pen-
sion, The question of whether @
pensioner may draw 4 salary from
the State as a contract worker te
at issue, too, although the At-
torney General has ruled that he
may. The question relates to the
nature of the employment.

Opinion Obeyed

Dr. Studenski, in his letter te
Comptroller Levitt, complained
| that the Attorney General's opin-
jon did not distinguish between @
contractual relationship under
which @ person ls employed, and
one in which an organization or
firm ts the contractor, The profea~
sor made the point that the per-
son has the same general statue
as @ regular State employee, de-~
spite Mr. Javits’ opinion, which
did not distinguish between the
two types. Mr. Javits holds that im
effect, the Iaw does not provide
for any such distinction.

Meanwhile the Comptroller ts
backing the opinion rendered by
|Mr, Javits, and takes the position
that ft ts legally unassailable, The
Attorney General is a constitu-
tional officer, and State officers
and officials are bound by hie
formal opinions. —i'

Task Involved a

A committee would have te
study the distinctions between
types of contractual employment,
whether the law, though silent om
the point, justifies a distinction om

that the reasons for high pay hold as well in the upper-
brackets of employment as in the lower ones,

We are somewhat surprised at an argument made by
the Citizens Union, in expressing reservations over the pay
increase proposals,

The CU argues that the man, as well as the job,
should be considered in fixing the salary. This is an odd
reversal of the view taken by the CU and other civic
groups during the lengthy classification study that it is
the job and its duties, not the individual who holds it,
which determine the rate of pay,

If the CU's argument were carried to its conelusion,
there could never be a classification plan of any kind.
There could never be a fixed schedule of pay. There
could be no clear determination of the worth of a position.
The pay would depend not only on the job, but on the
man who filled it. And just how his worth would be de-
termined, CU sayeth not,

Suggestion for NYC's
Uniform Leave Project
ith the first stage of the Career and Salary Plan com-

W pleted with competence, though not with perfection,
NYC now faces the task of establishing uniform leave
rules,

While the new task is less voluminous, it is more com-
plex. In the various departments a confusing variety of
rules on leaves exist, Not only annual leave and sick leave
are involved, but also holiday leave, including religious
holidays, NYC is noted for its inconsistency on all these
counts,

The Personnel Council will weigh the subject. We of-
fer a suggestion: In establishing a uniform leave policy,
the City can avoid employee dissatisfaction by providing
that no incumbent's leave privileges shall be reduced.

Time would eradicate the inconsistencies. The same
principle would be worked as in cases of downgrading of
titles. The downgraded employee's present salary is pro-
tected. The one protection is as important as the other.

Uniform Allowance

. °
As a Fringe Benefit
H ow much longer can New York State refrain from
considering payment for uniforms in State service?

In New York City, sanitation workers have just been
granted a $65 uniform allowance. Policemen and firemen
have for several years enjoyed allowances exceeding $100
for their uniforms, Uniformed Federal employees obtain
such grants, too,

But in New York State, prison guards, hospital at-
tendants, and others who wear uniforms atill must pay
for them out of their own pockets. Since uniforms are
worn for the benefit of the employer, it is logical that the
employer should pay for them, Payment for uniforms is a

fringe benefit that ought not to be withheld from State!

Comment

THINGS GETTING BETTER,
DESPITE EVERYTHING

Editor, The LEADER:

‘The NYC Career and Salary
Plan, whatever its shortcomings,
certainly goes a long way toward
setting an example for other gov-
ernment jurisdictions, as to safe-

guarding provisions for employees,
and @ realistic approach to the
pay problem, Not everybody is
satisfied with what he got, but
many thousands are surprised and
delighted to get as much as they
did.

There are still some serious
problems to be solved relating to
increments, pay inequities, Hmited
promotional opportunities, and
the like, but we City employees
should be thankful that the proper
start was made. That portends an
ultimately fine personnel and pay
structure.

‘Trail Blazers

| What has marked government
\attitude on pay, working condi-
tons, and hours in the past has
been @ reluctance to give in. Such
an attitude {s not only disastrous
to employee morale, but disastrous
to employer benefit from services
rendered. A dissatisfied employee,
however competent, ls not a valu-
able employee.

The Federal government has
shown the way to fringe benefits
that, on the whole, are far and
beyond those that exist in NYC
and other local governments, or
in the State government as well.
In some respect NYC has showed
the way in the past. It was first
with health insurance, more than
a decade ago, in the LaGuardia
administration, The Health In-
surance Plan (HIP) has been a
boon to City employees, I can
think of nothing that the State
did that paved the way, except
the enactment of the Feld-Hamil-
ton Law, that set up a scientific
pay structure and promotion pro-
gram.

Public employment promises
soon to have most of the attrac-
tions that the most ardent propon-
ents of the Merit System claim for
it,

THE HACKNEYED
AND THE SUPERFLUOUS

Editor, The LEADER:

Tam amazed that elvil service
commissions continue to issue ver-
bose and stuffy examination an-
nouncements, While the notices
are now a little clearer than they
used to be, they are still burdened
with hackneyed and redundant
English,

Did you ever see a Federal exam
Announcement of @ supervisory
Job that didn’t demand progessive-
ly responsible experience, or a NYC
exam notice that set a tentative
date for a written test without
adding the superfluity that the
date Is subject to change, should
circumstances so require?

The writing of an exam notice,
the advertisement that expresses
the minimum requirements for
competing in test, is far more
important than some persons im~-
agine, If a notice does not clear~
ly state what the job is, what are
the requirements for competing,
and otherwise give the true picture
in al) necessary fullness, an exam
that's supposed to be competitive
would turn out not to be competi~
tive at all, but illegal, Why? Be~
cause fully and properly in-
forming all about the nature of
the test is one of the fundamental
requirements to constitute a com-
petitive examination, This is not

tututory provision but case law.

Some women are easily equal to

Answer—The exam will be open

SINCE the Federal government
ls now opening its life insurance

partment, they are on federally

Answer—No, The extension ap-
piles only to Federal employees,
State employees on reimbursed

though the original demand of his
union was for $132.75, the $65 in-

crease did triple the first uniform
allowance for sanitationmen
adopted by the City,

‘The allowance will go to 10,600
sweepers and drivers and will cost
the city $689,000 a year,

A plan is in the making to pro-
vide uniform allowances for super-
visory and officer personnel but
no details have been announced,

The two unions met with the
Budget Director, Labor Commis-
sioner Nelson Seite! and Assistant
to the Comptrolier Howard Pish-
bach to accept the new uniform
allowance figure.

Last October, a 2,000-man de-
monstration by members of Mr.
DeLury's union indicated the
strength of feeling in the Sanita-
tion Department about an allow-
ance for uniforms.

Meet Larry Gerosa

@ne thing Lawrence E Gerosa
doesn’t run away from is & con-
troversy. He learned from early
youth that life can be rough, and
you don't win the battles by slink-
ing off. When he thinks he's right,
be stands up strongly to the op-
ponent, whoever he is. He even took
on Robert E, Moses, whom other
oMicials normally dread to tackle.
And while that battle — revolving
om the question of whether NYC
owned property should be used for
parks or for private tax-producing
purposes is far from over, the
first round was won by Getosa.

Could He?

There were some raised eye-
brows when the little Bronx con-
tractor and trucker won the nomi-

;: ;
Pension Inquiry
(Continued from Page 3)
the basis of legislative intent, and
how the constitutional guarantee
that pension benefits are contract-
ula, and may not be diminished or
impaired, would affect persons al-
ready retired, who got their pen-
sions wholly or partly on the basis

of contributions made from pay
received as contractual contract-
ual basis, Also, how others are ef-
fected would be involved. The
Comptroller received the sugges-

tion that able counsel therefore
would have to be appointed, and
also expe on pension and act-

warial phases, and that the com-
mittees should consist of distin-
guished citizens, none of them on
the State payroll, so that no pas-
sible self-interest would be in-
volved.

LEOML Se

alttxed.

oealw's Cu

nation for Comptroller, Would he
be able to do a job?

‘Well, since he came into office a
year-and-a-balf ago, these things
have happened:

A simpler payroll procedure has
been developed. The unnecessary
signing of the payroll register has
been discontinued, The pay check
acta as its own receipt. Separate
tabulations of pensions and with-
holding tax have been ended. This
enabied a reduction in the volume
of key punching and eliminated
the necessity for preparing and
indexing thousands of cards.

Storage space was recaptured by
microfilming 35,000,000 paychecks,

Electronic Equipment

New electronic equipment was
Installed to reduce the workload,
and to place the retirement system
on a current basis, Changes in the
Division of Pensions eliminated the
issuance of receipts each month
and reduced clerical work by 30
per cent. The changes also cut the
volume of mail by 132,000 pieces a
year.

Office layout is being modern-
ized. New, easy-on-the-eyes light-
ing fixtures are being installed.
New desks and other equipment
has been Installed, making work
for the employees more pleasant

Twenty-five tons of old records
were sold for salvage.

In negotiation, too, the new
Comptroller showed his mettle:
Por example, he purchased ferries
for the City at $2,000,000 — rather
than the $4,000,000 asked.

Winning at Both Ends

By scheduling investments of
City funds so that the “money
will be working for us all the time,”
Mr, Gerosa has enabled the City
to pick up an additional $4,000 a
day in interest.

Por the first time in ten years,
the Comptrojler has conducted
public sales, selling City securt~
ties to private investors on a short-
term basis. Result: the City was
able to borrow money at a lower
rate of Interest. “In this manner,”
he says “we were able to take the
pension funds from which we had
borrowed before, and Invest them
in securities yielding a higher tn-
terest rate, thereby making money
for the City at both ends.”

8 sensitive subject — has been go-
ing along with exceptional evi-
dences of harmony.

In his own department, he has
initiated action calling for pay
raises up and down the line.

In his own firm, he always paid
his engineers more than the unlon
rate. “I wanted good men,” he
says.

Invented a Chassis Device

Born in Milan, Mr. Gerosa came
to the United States at age 3, and
spent his early years in Vineland,
N. J. His father was im the hay
and feed business, And while In
his teens, Larry went into the
trucking business. Some of his as-
sociates may he early showed «
genius at welght displacement, He
invented a mechanism called the
“Hudford™ which developed the
strength of « truck chassis. But he
lost the patent on It.

moved to Connecticut, but the boy
remained in New York. He put
in an application for a fireman's
Job — but then he asked himself:
“Why should I go into the Fire
Department?” Why, Indeed! He
was earning $200 a week in sales
work!

He built his business until it
became one of the largest construe-
tion and heavy transportation
companies in the United States,
And he extended himself into re-
Inted businesses as well.

In Civie Activities

‘With all of this, he found time)
to get into civic activities, How)
diverse these activities are may be
seen from citing s few of them:

Co-chairman, Bronx County
Division, National Conference of
Christians and Jew:

Member, Advisory Board, Mor-
risania Hospital;

Member, Bronx Committee, Al-
bert Einstein College of Medicine;

District Governor, Good Roads
Assoctation.

If there's a cancer or heart fund
drive in the Bronx, Larry Gerosa's
name ia sure to figure in it some-
where.

He admits politics ls a tough,

unpredictable, and sometimes
heartbreaking game, He has been
slipped a sharp right on the chin
how and then. But he expects it
of politics, And he has an ambi-
tion; to help make of New York
& better-run City, so that he can
say, at his term's end, with pride:
“I was part of this.”

Ben Adhem, which he says expresses his philosophy, It reads:

Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!)

Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,

And saw, within the moonlight in his room,

Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,

An angel writing in a book of gold:

Exceeding peace had made Ben Aithem bold,

And to the presence in the room he sald,
the vision raised its head,
And with » look made all of sweet accord,
Aunswer'd, “The names of those that love the Lord.”
“And Is mine one?” said Abou, “Nay, not so,”
Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low,
But cheerily still; and said, “1 pray thee, then,
Write me as one that loves his fellow men.”
‘The angel wrote. and vanished. The next night
It came again with @ great wakening light,
And show'd the names whom love of God had blest,
And lo! Ben Adbem's name led ali the rest,
