The Patrolman (P.D.) examination has been reopened by the NYC Civil Service
Commission on orders from Mayor William O'Dwyer. Application blanks may be
obtained at offices of the City Collector in the 5 boroughs and filled-in forms may be
filed until 3 p.m, on Tuesday, Jan. 29 by veterans and non-veterans.

The Commission's official amended notice of examination retained the provision
limiting the total eligible list to 3,000.

McDonough Hails Move
Toward Up-Grading
Of Basic Pay Scales

Addressing the Brooklyn State
Hospital Chapter of the Assosia-
tlon of State Civil Service Em-
ployees, William F. McDonough,
Executive Representative of the
Association, said that the Associa-
tion wants a proper restudy and
revision of State salaries under
the Feld-Hamilton schedule, He
said that the Association was well
fitted for this task, because it
wrote the Feld-Hamilton law and
devised the scales contained
therein.

President William Farrell and
Secretary Katherine Collins of the
Chapter greeted Mr. McDonough,
who expressed pleasure at the op-

portunity of joining again with the
Chapter members in furthering
the cause of State employees. Mr,
McDonough received a great ova-
tion, So did Leo 8S. Gurry, Presi-
dental of the Mental Hygiene As-
sociation, who likewise spoke on
salaries.

Discusses Dewey's Pay Plan

In discussing Governor Dewey's
Proposal for upward adjustment
of the emergency Increases as
contained in the Governor's mes-
sage to the Legislature, Mr, Mc-
Donough said that the employees
now have had time to glean those
proposals, They give from 4 to 10
per cent raises, and, the speaker

ation, ed a dinner meet-
ing of the Local Chapter at the

Moose Club in Dansville on Jan. 9
In his address Mr. Gurry point-
ed out that on the surface it

would appear that the administra-
tion had made 8 large concession
in recommending an increase in
the cost of living bonus for all
State employees, but that after
analyzing it thoroughly the em-
ployee gains but little and there
is no guarantee of permanency of
any part of the so-called cost of
living bonus, a feature that Men-
tal Hygiene Association has been
fighting for,

Mr. Gurry also stated that the
Mental Hygiene Association in
the past had never been & pres-
sure group, but that tt was be-
coming apparent that it might be
necessary to become one in order
to gain more favorable legislation
for State employees.

Helen Duba, to our nursing staff,

Skaters and spectators of Ray
Brook are enjoying the benefits of
the Ice Skating Rink, also the

Room,

pointed out, while the Association
had asked for more, the total
emergency increases over the basic
scales now amount to from 14.to
30 per cent. The additions that
make these totals possible will
have to be passed by the Legis-
| lature, he pointed out, as action
on the budget bill Is submitted.

‘The salary adjustments cover a
large group who have been re-
classified or reallocated since 1942,
the Governor cited in collective
bargaining conferences with rep-
resentatives of the Association,
said Mr. McDonough,

Vigorous Efforts

The speaker then quoted from
the Governor’s message, in which
Mr, Dewey said he looked upon

tinuation of the temporary adjust-
ments, which ‘should be made
permanent, and from the Gover-
nor’s favorable reference to a
general review of basic scales and
his outspoken request for in-
creased administrative appropria~
tions for the Salary Standardiza-
tion Board in line with salary
review. These matters, said Mr.
McDonough, are “an indication of
administrative intent to deal con-
structively with the future basic
scales.”

The proposed review, Mr. Mc-
Donough believed, indicated that
a “most helpful approach to sound
wage structures” Is now open to
the Association, which will “con-
tinue its vigorous efforts for such
basic salary adjustments as will
maintain the leadership of N. Y.
State in its salary lkws and at-
tention to classification and salary
allocations generally.”

Pensions to the Fore

He reported that the Executive
Committee of the Association
feels that Mberalization of the
State retirement laws will con-
stitute one of the most important
matters with which the Legis-
lature will have to deal. He ex-
pected the State, which was
among the first to establish a
| retirement system, see that the
| system maintains its position of

~eminence in line with present-
day social security concepts,

50 Bills by the Association

The Association, he revealed,
will present about 50 bills to the
Logislature, Three of the import-
| ant topies that, will be covered by
these bills he listed as:

1, Tenure increments (other-
wise known as the longevity
plan);

2. A cost-of-living salary ad-
Justment, the Association plan for
| insurance against the disastrous
| effects on State employees of any
possible inflation; and

3. Strengthening, from an em-
ployee viewpoint, of civil service
laws relating to dismissals and
demotions.

Association Going Strong

Speaking of how the Association
jitself is getting along, he stated
that its growth has been steady,
that the Association was never so
strong as it is now, and that the
loyalty of State employees to the
Association Is evidenced by the
Association membership of more
than 28,000, and that all com-
Parative analysis shows that the
Association is ahead of last year.

“Renewals of membership dues,”
he declared, “are being made at
double the rate of any previous
year.”

Mr, Gurry's remarks were in
line with those he gave at Craig
colony. (See Craig Colony report

pdoyees,” on this page.)

A SYMBOL OF SECURITY SINCE 1850

e State
mployee

By FRANK L. TOLMAN

President, The Association of
State Civil Service Employees

THE LABORER IS WORTHY OF HIS HIRE

IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE salaries are fixed by fiat rather than
by reason. They are thus very sticky and usually represent rates of
® (wo or five years past—rather than fair pay for today and témorrow,
In industry wages are supposedly fixed by over-the-table wage
conferences. This means that an acceptable compromise is agreed to
between the demands of the workers and the best offers of manage-
ment, Such agreements are strictly limited in time and are subject
to renegotiation.

For the unorganized white collar worker the wages are generally
about what the employer is willing to pay. The sume is true for the
Most part of the “company union” worker,

experts, engineers and executives in industry are said
largely to fix their own salaries, Intimate knowledge of what the
traffic will bear sets a celling to salaries in this area.

Cooperatives have their chief advantage over private industry
in lower salary costs. Cooperatives are able to obtain talent at mod-
erate prices because of the appeal of the principle of cooperation to
many of the best minds. Such able managers do not feel wholly
content in « world of ruthless competition and seek contentment in
the new economic plan for efficient non-profit production or dis-

+ * tribution,
‘a SOUND SALARY POLICY
Tt is dificult to state briefly the way salaries are determined In
cooperative enterprise, including government. It {fs evident first that
all wages paid must be fully earned or the “coop” fatls,
If, as frequently happens there are recurring surpluses, wages
may be raised, but usually only after a fair dividend to members,
and provision for sane expansion of the business,
Bes In government, New York State leads in having a sound salary
Policy, In most states and cities, salaries are fixed by the civil
* service commission on a hit or miss basis. The Commission writes a
Job specification which must go to the printer tomorrow and sud-
denly is confronted by the problem of what to pay for the particular
job. Whatever figure is pulled from the hat, it is hardly a scientific
determination of a proper salary,

5 FOUNDATION PILLARS
‘The 5 foundation pillars on which the wage structure of New
» York State rests are the following principles which form the official
salary policy of the State,

Lod

1. Equal pay for equal work.
2 Career opportunities for all State employees.
4. The same rates be paid all employees doing essentially similar
Jobs.
4 Selary scales attractive enough to draw unusual ability to the
State service, particularly in key positions,
5. Economy in Government to be assured the taxpayers and to
he) business by the resulting high efficiency in State admin-
istration,
VA PROPOSED NEW PAY SCALES
As T have frequently pointed out, the present salaries paid State
employees are obsolete and inadequate. The temporary adjustments
proposed by Governor Dewey in his message to the Legislature are
nol to be considered as anything more than a stop-gap. As such, T
think it will serve in some measure the purpose of relieving hard-
ships and suffering which thousands of State employees would other-
wise face from skyrocketing prices. It will, as far as one can row
foresee. help tide us over until the big job of establishing fair per-
manent basic salaries can be completed. For this the State employee
is much indebted to the Governor.
The Association plans to introduce a cost-of-living adjustment
bill, a time service increment bill for extra increments after 5, 10,
15, 20 and 25 years’ service at the maximum salary, time and a
half for overtime bill. an equal pay for equal work bill, and bills
for adequate pay for Registered Nurses, Matrons and Attendants
at hospitals for the insane, ete
SCE IFIC JOB LATER
- 'The big advantage in the situation 1s that the Association now

has the opportunity to do a thorough job in the scientific determi-
nation of a basic salary plan, This means a revision of the Feld-
Hamilton schedules. Those schedules were originally written by the
Association, The major amendments to the original schedules were
written by the Association. Because of its Intimate knowledge and
through the continued work of its expert Salary Committee, the new
proposed Feld-Hamilton schedules should. be largely the work of

Buffalo, John T, DeGraff, Coun-
sel, John B, Holt-Harris, Assistant
Counsel, W. F. McDonough, Ex-
ecutive Secretary, all of the Asso-
ciation headquarters staff, were
also present.

Dr. Tolman reviewed the con-
ferences held with Governor
Dewey and his advisers relative
to salary increases as recom-
mended to the Legislature by the
Governor, stressing the splendid
work done by the Association’s
Salary Committee, headed by
Charles M. Armstrong of the
Education Department, in supply-
ing comprehensive data useful at
ali stages of the salary confer-

Dewey Got Full Facts

Dr. Tohman indicated that the
Governor was given a very thor-
ough picture of the State em-
ployee's plight during the long

period of wartime prices and the
great need for bringing state

advances in wages in in-

while the recomnféndations of the
Governor did not meet fully the
requests, he felt the Association
had gained substantial relief for

pee as indicative of administra-
purposes,

Mr. DeGraff outlined the bills
carrying out the Association's pro-
gram adopted at the annual meet:
ing. He stated that the Associa-
tion would follow its usually
successful of procedure of careful
attention to preparation of legis-
lation, contacts with executive
and legislative leaders helpful to
Passage of the bills presented, and
reliance upon chapters and upon
members generally for support
with individual legislators
throughout the session.

Pension Matters Weighed

The Executive Committee gave
particuar attention to Assvciation
measures for liberalization of the
retirement law, Retirement after
25 years of service, increasing the
allowances to low paid employees
on retirement, doubling the death
benefit, providing for separation
benefits, and lower interest rate
on loans, were declared to be so
fair and so greatly needed to
bring the State's retirement sys-
tem into line with advancing
social concepts that they were
definitely “must'’ legislation from
the employees’ standpoint,

It is expected that the retire-
ment legislation being urged by
the Association will appeal strong-
ly to the municipal groups that
are a part of the System and that
they will join in appeals to their
representatives in the legislature
for support of the bills

Tenure increments at 5, 10, 15
and 20 year intervals to overcome
dead-end jobs, a bill to establish
insurance against
through salary increases matching
advancing prices of the future,
strengthening of protection of em-
ployees in appeals on dismissals
or demotions, and time and one-
half for overtime, were described
by committee members as of para-
mount importance if the astdte
service is to be improved and

eligible on a list, an appointing
officer is entitled to choose from
among the three highest eligibles
on a list who are willing to ac-
cept appointment

A State law pas:
of the century

The Rule of Three
In its stead, the present pro-
visions of Section 14 of the Civil
Service Inw were enacted
‘They provide that appointments
shall be made "from among those
graded highest" in the examina-
tion, A rule provide that the ap-
pointing officer may select one of
the first three on the list has been
held reasonable and consistent
with the present statute.
Skipping Two Names
Under the 1-out-of-3 rule, it 1s
Obvious that an appointing officer
may skip eligible No. 1 and eligi-
| ble No. 2 and appoint eligible No.
| 3 on the list

Limited Skipping of Eligibles' Names Is Permitted

appointment from the list, the ap-
pointing officer can again skip
oy nes two eligibles and appoint

0.

This process can be continued
and the last eligible appointed
while eligibles 1 and 2 remain un-
appointed. However, it is equally
clear that regardless of the num-
ber of eligibles appointed or of
the length of the list only two
eligibles can be completely disre-
gurded. This was not always the
ease,

‘Three Strikes And Out

Under a rule, repealed in 1938,
it was provided that “no person
shall be certified from an eligible
Mest more than three times to the
same appointing officer for the
same or similar position at the
same rate of compensation, ex~
cept at the request of said officer,”
An exception was made in the
case of & veteran entitled to dis-
abled veterans preference, who
had to remain on the list so long
as it continued In existence,

The special rights of preferred
eligibles generally will be dis-
cussed below. Pirst, however, at-
tention should be called to an-
other instance in which eligibles
may be skipped. This is the case
of eligibles who are performing
military duty,

Military Law Provisions

Under the provisions of the

Military Law such eligibles need
not be considered by appointing

officers when making appoint-
ments, Such skipped eligibles are,
however, assured of at least two
years of eligibility after the ter-
mination of their military duty
provided they make demand for
what is known as “special eligible
list status” during the period of
ninety days following the termina-
tion of theiir military duty,
Preferred Eligibles

There are two types of preferred
eligibles—those who ure laid off
due to lack of work or funds and
placed on preferred eligible lists,
and those who are war veterans
(whether disabled or not)

The first group must be rein-
stated from the preferred eligible
list in one-two-three order

The second group must be ap-
pointed before non-veterans may
be appointed from open compott-
tive or promotion eligible lists, As
among the war veterans, all dis-
abled veterans must be appointed
before any non-disabled war vet~
erans may be appointed

Option as to Veterans

However, within each class (di
abled war veterans or non-dis
able war veterans) the usual one-
out-of-thtee rule prevails, There-
fore, if there are two or more
disabled veterans on a list, the
appointing officer can select either
one of the first two Uf only two
are on the list) or any one of the
Arst three (if more than two are
on the list) who are willing to

accept appointment, A similar

. Action on Appeal
Of Attendants

ALBANY, Jan. 22—Dr, Frank
L, Tolman, President of the Asso-
elation of State Civil Service Bm-
ployees, appealed to the Salary
Standardization Board for an
early decision on the appeal for
salary adjustments presented on
Nov, 13 last by the Attendant
group in the State Hospitals,

“The granting of requests for
‘Salary adjustments made at that
hearing is of vital importance,
not only to the employees but to
the establishment of adequate hos-
bees service to the patients of the
he wrote.

r tebocattarent of sufficient help
at the prevailing salary scales is
obviously impossible, and impos-
sible because the salary scales are
inadequate,

“I urge immediate favorable
decision by the Board on the
peals of the Attendant group.

On Jan, 16, Dr. Newton J. T.
Bigelow, Chairman of the Board,
advised Dr. Tolman:

“This is to acknowledge receipt
of your letter of Jan. 15, 1946.
The Board will announce its

Additional Retiremeiit
| Contributions Favored
_As Option for Employees

‘The fifth instalment of a serial
article on the N. Y, State Retire-
Ment System, with proposals for
it Uberalization as made by the"
Association of State Civil Service
Employees, is published this week.
Tt deals with Additional Contri-

| butions. ‘The first instalment,
dealing with minimum pensions,
| Was published in the Dec. 25, 1945,
issue of The LEADER. The second,
relating t Increased ordinary
death Kyenefits, appeared In the
Jan, 1 issue, The third in the
Jan. 8 issue, concerned optional
retirement at 55. The fourth dealt
with Vesting of Pension, It was
not completed, but the added data
will be found following the fifth
instalment herewith:
ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS

Additional contributions by em-
ployees were permitted up to July
1, 1939, but Pyve since been pro-

* hibited by Section 58 (1), presum-
+ ably because it was felt that the
* employees were using the system
| 45 & savings account in order to
obtain 4 per cent Interest, Since
| then the interest rate has been
fixed by the Comptroller from
time to time. The prohibition
arose more by reason of the abuse
vs of the privilege than any con-
\. clusion that the system was not a
proper depository for additional
contributions. Actually the privi-
lege of additional contributions
} still exists through the right of

than 15/10Q of 1 per cent of pay-
roll or about $120,000 and actually
might only be one-half of this
amount.

Option After 25 Years

(Members Share in Extra Cost)

Over and beyond the benefits
and the preceding recommenda-
in the present Retirement Law
by this Committee, there has
been & very insistent demand by
State sitplovess for tha privilege
of optional retirement after 25
years and with the employee pay-
ing a share of the extra cost. This
demand in most part has come
from Institutional employees. It
is pointed out in their behalf that
they are subject to long hours
and adverse working conditions
which makes employment in In-
stitutions far less attractive than
in other fields and explains to
some extent why the State has
not been able to retain this class
of employees. It has not been
possible at this time to make any
studies of the additional cost to
the State if such a privilege were
granted, It is believed that this
demand should be carefully con-
sidered from the viewpoint of the
better stability of employment
which would result,

Tilustrative Table

The following table tllustrates
the approximate contributions (as
| proportion of salary) for Op-
| tlonal Retirement after 25 years
| with a retirement allowance of
1/50 of final average salary times

each employee to contribute on
{ the basis of retirement at 55. Ac-
cording to the information leaflet

x The above figures assume that

of entry, If the State shared in
the additional cost, the deduc-
tions would be only a little more
than 50 per cent of the amounts
shown above, depending upon the
percentage of contribution made
by the State, Different scales of
rates would apply to employees
with prior service and such rates
might be very high depending up-
on the number of years remain-
ing to complete 25 years of service.

Vesting in Private Industry

The conclusion of last week's
instalment on vesting pensions
follows:

5. At present life Insurance
companies in New York have a
very substantial volume of group
annuity contracts outstanding,
purchased by employers for the
benefit of employees. The Metro-
politan Life, which holds reserves
of over $525,000,000 for its Group
Annuity Branch, advised the In-
surance Department some time
ago that all employer contracts
vested the employer's contri-
butions after service by the em-
ployee of ten years or more, This
is substantiated by pension book-
lets. supplied through the Pru-
dential. Table 26 of the recent
pamphlet, "Trends in Company
Pension Plans,” prepared by the
National Industrial Conference
Board, 247 Park Avenue, NYC,
shows that approximately three-
fourths of 200 large employers
vest the employer contributions
after 15 years of service. It will
be noted that this table includes
trust fund plans handled by the
employer and independent of any
insurance company. Enlightened
employers in private industries
are more and more accepting the
idea that a pension is something
which is earned annually and
which the employee under certain
safeguards should be entitled to
take with him upon resignation
rather than a reward for con-
tinuance of service with the em-
ployer until retirement

6. The examiners of the Insur-
ance Department in their last
report on examination of the
State Employees’ Retirement Sys-
tem recommended that the law be
changed to vest the share of the
pension purchased by the State
with an employee who has served
fifteen or twenty years and who
later withdrew from State service,

7. Section -7 of the United
States Civil Service Retirement

For ola Menbers Too
‘The same privilege of extra con-
tributions exists for old members
but because the contributions
must produce the same retirement |
allowance at 55 as if the member |
Worked to 60 the cost is pro-
hibitive in most cases, The Com- |
mittee feels that the objective of |
enabling employees to obtain a
More adequate retirement allow-
ance is worthy and that the above
should not be the sole basis for
determining extra contributions
and that certain flexibility should
be permitted, After all, the Sys-
tem is adequately protected by
* reason of the provision that the
i= rate of interest may be fixed by
the Comptroller, The only ques-
tion might be as to how to ac-
complish this objective with ao
minimum of accounting cost. The
Committee feels that reasonable
rules could be prepared along
such lines, To iilustrate, a mem-
ber might be allowed:

(a) To pay an increased regular
contribution of 1 per cent
of salary or any multiple |
thereof; or

(b) To make single payments
from time to tlme of $25 or
any-multiple thereof,

A limitation as to the maximum

contributions which could be paid
by any member in any year
would be necessary. Such a privi-
Jege would be particularly import-
ant during the post-war period
when the war effort no longer
requires salary deductions for |
Was savings bonds. ‘There is

| gomewhat of a precedent for the
above in the right of members
under Section 10 of the United
States Civil Service Retirement
Act and in Section B3-15.0 of Ad-
ministrative Code of City of New
York relating to City Employees
Retirement System, The privi-
Jege of making additional contri-
butions should be considered with |
the recommendation of the Com-
mittee for Optional Retirement at
55—members pay share of extra
Cost,

Option After 35 Years
At the present time the normal
retirement age is 60. However, in
the New York State Teachers
Retirement System, New York |
City Employees Retirement Sys-
tem and Board of Education
Retirement System, the privilege
exists of retirement after 35 years
of service. This gives recognition
to the fact that employees after|Act provides for @ separation

PAYMENT IS ASKED
FOR PAST OVERTIME

slate were wiped clean of accu-
multed overtime for department-
al, as well as institutions employ-
ees, this objection would not pre-
vail,

Any department employee, who
has accumulated overtime in the
past few years, has done so be-
cause he had to—not because he
was being favored, for nobody
has promised compensation for
such overtime, Many depart-
mental employees have nundreds
of hours of overtime and, while
the shortages there were not as
critical as in institutions, certain
units, such as Audit, and Control,
Tax, Budget, Civil Service and
many others, have simply had to
pile up overtime to get the work
out, No valid objection has yet
been encountered to paying over-
time for the past overtime work
already performed by these de-
partments, as well as instituitonal
employer

The State Association's pro-
posals, and reasons therefor, may
be summarized as follows:

Payment for Unused Vacation
and Overtime

Last year, for the first me in
the history of the State, the As-
sociation obtained the passage of
a bill which provided that any
employee, who failed to get the
full holidays or vacation allow-
ance to which he was, entitled
during the fiscal year\ ending
March 31, 1945, should be paid
compensation for the time he was
not permited to use, This covered
only overtime for this one year.
it did not authorize payment for
unused vacation or holidays ac-
cumulated prior to April 1, 1944,
The law expressly provided that
it was applicable to employees
who work on an 8-hour day by
law and by administrative rule
or regulation, It is not applicable
to higher ranking officers.

While many institution employ-
ees have benefited from this law
during the past year, various in-
equalities and inequities in its
administration have been report-
ed to the Association. For ex-
ample, the employees at Albion
and Westfield have failed to re-
ceive the benefits provided by the
Taw. It fs reported that Sergeants

and Lieutenants in the prisons | ulat

have likewise been excluded, al~
though they are on an 8-hour day
the same as Prison Guards,
some Mental Hygiene institutions
farm employees have been paid
while, in others, payment has been
refused. The Association prompt-
ly called this matter to the atten-
tion of Budget Director, John E.
Burton, who has just requested
President J, Edward Conway of
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion to take such steps as may be
necessary to correct inequities
that may have slipped by,

Judge Conway sald:

“This is a new law and it is
not surprising that some mis*
understanding has arisen on the
part of both administrators and
employees. I plan to take the
matter up immediately with the
heads of the various depart-
ments affected and attempt to
work out a policy under which
this law will be fairly and uni-
formly administered with res-

to all institution employ-

‘a ee rere teat bat Jus

bring about a uniform policy of
administration. The Association
is seeking not only to adjust the
difficulties that have arisen
uring the past year, but will
so propose whatever amend-
ments to the law may be neces-
sary to bring about a uniform
policy of administration when
the renewal legislation is en-
acted for the coming year.”

Th.

Covering Accumulated Overtime
For the past 3 years, overtime
compensation has been authorized
by temporary law, renewed from
year to year for employees who
work in excess of eight hours.
This law has enabled the institu-
tions to keep running during the
war period when it was impossible
to secure sufficient personnel to
fully staff the institutions, Thou-
sands of employees have loyally
worked long hours to keep State
institutions running, While most
of these employees have received
payment for the overtime they
worked, there are many employees
who were denied payment because
the law contained a provision
authorizing overtime compensa~-
tion only when there were unfilled
positions in the budget,
Consequently, if an employee
was required to work overtime,
but there was no vacant litem
from which he could be paid, his
overtime accumulated and he
could be paid only through addi-
tional time off. During the labor
shortage, it was impossible in
many cases to give these em-
ployees the additional time off to
which they were entitled.
Throughout our institutions,
there are many cases where em-
ployees are entitled to additional
time off, ranging up to 100 days
or more.
While there has been recruiting

of additional personnel during.)

recent months, it is obvious that
the critical Shortage will exist for

many months, papers who
have accumulated all this addi-
tional overtime without being

paid for it, see little hope for
additional time off during the
coming year.

‘The Association has, therefore,
Proposed to the Administration
that new legislation be adopted
this year to pay all employees for
all overtime that has been accum-

ited to their credit in the past,
The Association intends, of course,
to seek the renewal of the present
laws which have to be re-enacted
each year, but it Insists that the
present laws are inadequate and
that steps should be taken im-
mediately to authorize payment of
all accumulated overtime so that
the institutions can start the
coming year with a clean slate.

While temporary emphasis may
have been ced upon the needs
of institutional employees, because
of special obstacles encountered,
the Association's broad plan for a
clean slate actually includes also
departmental employees.

Time and a Half

Although time and # half for
overtime and double time on holi~
days is a universal practice in
private industry, State employees
have loyally put their shoulder to

hours of overtime at straight time

personal income tax will be re-

Post War Construction

The Hee: Highway System must
be largély reconstructed and
brought up-to-date. This includes
feeder and market roads as well
as through-ways. A great new
through-way from New York to
Buffalo will soon be begun and 46
gtade crossings should be elimi-
nated.

Obsolete and fire trap public
buildings must be eliminated or
reconstructed, Overcrowding in
State hospitals is chronic. “We
cannot, we must not permit these
conditions to continue,"

Conservation

Additional fish hatcheries to
provide more fish, the develop-
ment of some 350 miles of ae
streams, a new game farm
Western New York, a wild ite
conservation project in Bronx
Park, camp sites in the forest pre-
serves, reforestation, the develop-
ment of State parks—these are
the chief recommendations in the
conservation field. A Lar
program for the expansion
State parks and parkways is wall
advanced,

Rent control should be con-
tinued for another year, Ho’
will be the subject of a spec!

message. The State Mediation
Board should be enlarged.

Education

The State Aid program should
be completed by including or
amending aid to central rural
schools, bus transportation, de-
linquency classes under suitable
formulas, The Technical Institute
programs should be forwarded.
More aid should go to higher
education by increasing both the
number and the value of the
Regents Scholarships.

We should examine the need for
4 State University, including prot-
essional schools in order to equal-
ize educational opportunities
throughout the State,

Child care centers should be
continued through 1946 and funds
should be provided for Migrant
Labor Camps next summer,

Public Safety

A State-wide Safety conference
representative of all groups inter-
ested in safety will be called this
Spring to organize an integrated
State safety program.

Veterans

New York ts leading the nation
in consideration of the needs of
the veteran for employment,
housing and education. We have
the finest veterans’ rest-ceater at
Mt, McGregor, A separate bi-
partisan joint committee should
advise the legislature and its
various regular committees on all
legislation affecting veterans.

We have today both tasks and
opportunities almost without par-

lel in the history of the State—
We have created a solid founda-
tion and now stand in a position,
with God's help, to erect upon it
& Substantial structure of well
being, material and spiritual for

U. S. Employees With Status
Deserve q Deferred Preference —
VERY serious problem exists in the Federal civil

A service in the loss of jobs by employees with classi-
fied competitive status. Both the Congressional blunder
in reducing the U, S. Civil Service Commission's funds
when the commission's tasks are increasing, and the legal
necessity of giving jobs to veterans who are former U. S.
employees, without regard to seniority, are costing Fed-
eral workers their jobs, which were once considered
secure,

There is need of a tertiary preference. The Federal
law establishes primary preference to disabled veterans,
secondary preference to non-disabled veterans, but non-
veteran employees with status have no preference over
other non-veterans. They should have. The Commission
has the power to accomplish this by regulation, or Presi-
dent Truman could issue an executive order.

Tt is quite likely that regulations will be drawn up so
that persons with civil service status, but without veteran
preference, who are being forced out of the Government
service by returning veterans, will haye opportunity to be
selected from reemployment lists. It also seems prob-
able that these reemployment lists will last a considerable
length of time, to give the greatest opportunity to loyal,
efficient and experienced workers,

It also appears equitable that regulations should be
prescribed which will curb some of the former peacetime
prerogatives of the appointing officer. Formerly an ap-
pointing officer could fill any position by four different
means if the chose: from an open-competitive register
(which would include reemployment li if maintained
by the Civil Service Commission) ; by transfer; by rein-
statement; or by internal promotion, Undoubtedly, in the
interest of protecting displaced career employees to the
fullest extent, no appointing officer should be permitted
to fill vacancies through reinstatement or transfer so long
as there are qualified status persons available and willing
to accept appointment.

Hazardous and Arduous Pay

HE matter of additional pay for hazardous or ardu-

ous employment, as provided in Chapter 302 of the
Laws of 1945, is important to many State workers. The
Association of State Civil Service Employees urged the
placing of this provision in the statute. Recently John
E. Burton, Director of the Budget, announced that action
was being taken to accord additional pay to workers in
the tubercular wards of the various State Hospitals and
indicated that such awards, when made, and any awards
to other groups, would be retroactive to October 1, 1945.

Doctor Frank L, Tolman, President of the State As-
sociation, addressed a special request to Director Burton
on Jan, 14, requesting a hearing on behalf of the various
civilian employees of the Department of Correction, Mr.
Burton replied that it would be impossible to hold such a
hearing prior to Feb, 1,

It is assumed that hearings will be held by the Direc-
tor of the Budget at a later date. The Association will
pursue the subject for final settlement of the hazardous
and arduous pay problem and it is to be sincerely hoped
that the hearings will result in the deserved favorable
dispositions. The Budget Director is known to be ex-
tremely busy now, and the fact that he can not hold
hearings immediately, while disappointing, is not indica-
tive of any attitude on the merits.

NYC Employees Hopeful

YC employees are looking to the O'Dwyer administra-

tion, hopeful that they will receive more considera-
tion than they did during the past 12 years,

One of the first acts of the new administration was
to start action to eliminate the unpopular periodic 24-hour
tour of duty in the Fire Department. Employees gener-
ally view that as an augury that the new Mayor and Com-
missioners are aware of the problems of the municipal | We
employees and will act to remedy them.

The Board of Estimate action on teachers’ and en-
Eincers’ pay is further encouragement to employees gen-
erally

These problems, aa well as many others, were left
by the former administration for solution by its successor.
There is no disposition shown by the O'Dwyer adminis-
tration to temporize, Quite the opposite! Only the fact
that the city is hard-preased for operating funds no doubt
defers the immediate solution of many another employee
problem,

RAYMOND F. RYAN

How would you like to have a
Job in which three billion dollars
Pass through your hands in a
year? It must be sensational just
to get the feel of that much
dough, even in checks.

Well, Raymond F. Ryan is used
to it by this time, idn't swap
Jobs with you, no matter how well
you're placed, and is undisturbed
by the possible anguish that part-
ing with so much money may
cause the taxpayers.

He finds that taxpayers are
good losers and are always con-
soled by the thought that their
lives don't go with it. This is bold
borrowing of race track talk, not
altogether suitable perhaps in dis-
cussing such a serious matter as
the collection of taxes for Uncle
Sam, especially the income taxes
that make up the bulk of the take
at Assistant Collector Ryan's win-
dow. (Beg pardon again!) For-
tunately, there is no “breakage.”

Boosts Working for U. 8.

There's not a scintilla of gam-
ble in anything he does. He's
known as a methodical and highly
successful administrator and as
the one man in the office who can
find the missing cent when the
books don’t balance, if they ever
don't. He ain’t sayin’. He's a
whizz of an accountant and audi-
tor himself, came out of the busi-

ness to enter the Federal employ, |

and thinks a lot of the opportuni-
ties now presented by working for
the Government,

“The promotion opportunities
are greater in the Federal employ
today than at any time in the
past 10 years,” he said. “Working
for the Federal Government is an
ambition that enterprising people
may well entertain. Also,
are better than they wer
show signs of keeping apace of

the times. Deterrents that may}

have existed in the past no longer
exist, and, with the careful rating
system that prevails, good work is
rewarded, and public employees
rise to positions of responsibility
and Increased income, Also, they
do work that satisfies them, be-
cause it is important and con-
structive, A career in the Fed-
eral service is something that any-
body would be justified in boping |
to attein, and that attainment is
not too difficult for qualified ap-
plicants.”

Enjoys a Joke

Assistant Collector Ryan knows
a lot about it. There are some
700 employees in the Internal
Revenue Collector's office in the
Custom House, NYC, of whom
about 250 are in the field, 50 are
auditors and the remainder
clerks and stenographers,

He got a kick out of the Joke on
the Fred Allen radio show about
the man who entered the Collec~
tors’ office, said; “I'm a taxpayer,’

and was told, “All right: start
lying.”
As a soldier Mr. Ryan helped

to chase the elusive Villa in Mex-
jeo, Though Pershing was there,
too, Villa escaped, But a tax-
payer is not @ Villa and Villa was
never a taxpayer. Nobody should
take too much for granted with
Mr. Ryan, He knows how to han~
die the tricky ones, as he proved
against the enemy cn Flanders
field, as an officer in World
War

He stands square-ehouldered
and erect, in true soldierly style,
at 53: has all the energy of a
man 33; enjoys a joke like a lad
of 23. But definitely not on the
Joke list is his huge task, dey in,
day out, for which his waining as
Comptroller of Internal Revenue
fitted him snugly, Four years in
his present post have taught him,
he says, this outstanding lesson:

“Taxpayers always should en-

Federal Pension Aims
Editor, The LEADER:

ral civil service employees
were pleased to note in a recent
issue of The LEADER that your
grand fighting paper is being given
recognition In Washington and
other Governmental circles as be-
ing authoritative in civil service
problems. You represent the vast
thousands of employees in Federal
civil service in voicing their views
and hopes,

Tt would indeed be a blessing
if, in that direction, you could
come to make yourself heard in
responsible circles on the Retire-
ment question. This perennial
question never seems to get set-
tled, bills by the score get intro-
duced and piegonholed in com-
mittees, every Congress, bul never
does a concrete settlement get
made, Meanwhile, Time Marches
On heavily for the poor old-
timers, who «re getting infirm
with age and its sicknesses, await-
ing a break.

Why don't you militantly spon-
sor a 30-year-service, regardiess-
of-age Retirement for Federal
employees? Many are even 35 or
more years in service, yet that old
devil, “Age-Pactor” keeps them
from getting out and thus mak-
ing vacancies for younger folks,
or for returning veterans. Vet-
erans organizations ought to really
get behind this, too, What with
the Government cutting expenses,
reducing the fo) abolishing

being abolished, it should be a

point out how to CREATE, ‘not

It has been suggested In your
paper that all Federal enmyployees
now may have the opportunity of
becoming permanent, This Is very
fine, Employees who are now per-
manent should get a break,

‘The “war service indefinite”
employees have held higher pay-
ing positions, which have made
permanent employees look on en-
viously, but with one consolation,
that after the war they would
still have their jobs. For this
reason and others the following
should be taken into considera-
tion:

1. All married women holding
good positions or owning busi-
nesses should be weeded out and
given their notice. Veterans, em- 4
ployees with families to support
and employees who are self-sup-
porting should be given these
Jobs,

2. All employees with perma-
nent status should be considered
first for the higher-paying posi-~
tions and given preference if they
are qualified. Are they not en-
titled to a little more than the
war-time employee, since they
| have worked longer with the Gov-
ernment?
| a All war-time employees
should be reduced in grade to give
| veterans, needy employees and
permanent employees an oppor-
tunity for advancement. The
war-time employee can feel very
lucky if he is given a permanent
status,

tape as possible should be cut out,
Too much favoritism has been the
basis of promotions and efficiency

ratings.

House To Tackle

Pay Bill

Feb. I;

Eyes Industry

Raises Granted in Strike Settlemen!

Expected to Affect U. S. Workers’
Salaries — General Motors
Seen as Yardstick

‘S$ SULLIVAN n
ant to My LRADIER

WASHINGTON, Jan, 22—Keep
an eye on current industrial dis- |
putes for a key to the probable |
fate of U. S. pay raises.

That's the insiie word in Wash-
ington today. And it appears to
be the correct word,

In a sentence: If General
Motors and other firms accept the
18 per cent pay raise formula that
seems to be gaining favor in In-
dustry, then chances will be good
for more generous U. 8S. raives.
More generous, that is, than the
average boost of 11 per cent pro-
vided in the pay bill recently
approved by the Senate.

M. as Yardstick

Sponsors of the Government pay
bill think the General Motors case
particularly, is extremely import: |

per cent increase recommended by

By CHARL

Mr. Truman's fact-finders, then |
they think prospects are very |

see fit to go considerably farther
than the Senate on the Federal
alary bill

Specifically, they think there's
a good chance the House | ap-
prove more adcquate raises for
U. S. workers in the middle and
upper pay brackets

What Senate Bill Provides
To review for a moment

increase on the first $1,200 of the

That averages out

rage 15.9 per cent
which went into effect ,
would give Federal workers

at 1
with

per
cel

an

average boost (aver pre-war rates)
of 26.9 per cent

By contrast, General Motors
employees already have received
@ 15 per cent boort under the war-
‘me Little Steel formula. And if
they get an additional 17.4 per
cent now, their total increase will
Stand at 32.4 per cent,

As the approaching pay bill
debate in the House draws clocer,
it is evident that Federal em-
ployees will concentrate practic-
ally all their efforts on winning
better pay boosts for middle and
upper bracket workers. The feel-
ing is that these brackets offer the
best opportunity to win the’ ear
of the House, And a good many
insiders think they may be suc-
cessful.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

January 22,

DOCTORS AND DENTISTS ASK
ANNUAL PAY IN HEALTH DEPT.

Stating that their treatment by
the LaGuardia administration set
& precedent which threatens the
whole structure of civil service, a
group of Health Department phy-
sians and dentists are appealing
to Mayor O'Dwyer to put them
back on a per-annum basis in the
1946-7 Budget.

‘The Chairman of the
Dr. Maurice Wollin, recalled that that
until July, 1940, the doctors and
dentists were employed on a regu-
lar per annum basis. earning be-
tween $1,800 and $2400 a year.
Then, although they had taken
written and oral civil service ex-

aminations and had been ap-
pointed from competitive eligible
lists, they were changed to a
session fee basis. This cut their
earnings down to between $1,000
and $1,200 a year. This, Dr,
Wollin added, affected some 300
doctors and 60 or 70 dentists. In
addition, they also lost sick leave
and vacation time and a substan-
al portion of their pension
rights,

Many Now Over 50
At present many of the doctors
and dentists in this group are

over 50 years old and face retire-
ment on a very small annuity, he

added. Most of them have seen
from 18 to 30 years’ service with

r-|the City

Even if it were necessary, for
financial reasons, to cut down the
amount paid to doctors and den-
tists, Dr. Wollin says, new en-
trants only should have been put
‘on a per-session basis. Kaige ha
ready in the civil service
should have retained their rants,
he insisted.

A mass meeting to which: all
civil service employees are invited
will be held tomorrow (Wednes-
day) at Pythian Temple. 135 West
70th Street, Manhattan, at 8:30
pm.

P.B.A. Votes Down
Popular Election;
Issue Pressed

‘The move to install popular
balloting In the Patrolmen’s Ben-
evolent Associaiton failed at the

last meeting by a voice vote, but)

the issue fs still very much alive
in P.B.A. circles.

Al the next meeting of the or-
ganization, scheduled for Monday,
Feb. 11, it is expected that a new
resolution will be introduced,
elimjpating features of the de-
feated measures which met with
objection.

Among the features which were
opposed from the floor were:

1. An outside organization to

conduct elections. This, some
felt, reflected on the internal
honesty of the PBA

2. Death of an officer would

necessitate a new election, Some
fel. that it was sound parliament-
ary procedure to allow the pre

dent to make an interim appoint- |

ment In sucn cases

The meeting was attended by
about 280 deb es. Proponents
of the direct vote felt certain that

an qmended resolution would pass
at the next meeting. A two-thirds
vote is necessary

Workers Under
Compensation

The New York District of the
State, County and Municipal
Workers of America (CIO) wants

mented to cover all NYC em-
ployees.
* President James V. King stated
that Assemblymen Bernard Austin
and Pred G. Moritt introduced a
measure extending the coverage.
Mr, King claimed that there are
thousands of NYC employees not
presently protected by the law.
Unlike employers in private in-
dustry, the city is not compelled |
to cover its employees, unless they
are engaged in so-called hazard-
ous occupations, Mr. King stated,
Every year hundreds of employees
suffer accidents and disabilities on
the Job which would normally be
covered by workmen's compensa-
tion in private industry, he said.
He announced that efforts would
be made to have the NYC Council
adopt the necessary resolutions
under the home rule provisions of
the State constitution,

national task,

“It is a job for every man and

“In sharing that job, the Dis-

work. I refer particularly to the

PATROLMAN STUDY AID

The LEADER publishes this
week “ sixth consecutive instal-
ment of study material for the
ek NYC Patrolman examina-

tion, These questions are from
the last previous Patrolman exam-
ination and are official. At the
end of this article are the official
key answers to the questions,

Question 77

Suppose that a police officer
asked a man: “Did you see Jones
snatch the pocketbook from Mrs,
Smith?” Of the following, the
reply which the police officer may
most reasonably interpret as
®vasion of the question is

(A) “Yes”; (B) “No”; (C) “Yes,
if the man’s name is Jones”; (D)
‘What do you mean by ‘see Jones
natch the pocketbook’?”; (E)
“No, if this lady’s name is Mrs.

Smith.”
Question 78

Clothes to the value of about
$200, as well as $171 In cash, were
stolen from the home of one of
the residents of a patrolman’s
post, The patrolman learns that
Albert Jones, a man 27 years old
and not known ever to possess
a te sarin at one

ston of the robbery,
what seemed to be a large roll of
bills, The patrolman may most
profitably take as the basis for
ae | (ap ein the position that

) Among the more plausible
sesmuatne for Albert Jones’
“wealth” is the possibility that
certain debts were repaid to him;
(B) despite the fact that the
clothing is valued at $200, a con-
siderably smaller sum is likely to
be realized when the clothing fs
sold to a second hand dealer; (C)
Albert Jones may recently have
obtained a job; (D) reputation
must be distinguished from char-
acter; (E) a large roll of bills is
sometimes obtained as the result
of a- burglary,

Question 79

Suppose you heard a complain-
ant say, “I know that these people
are criminals inasmuch as they
are professional gamblers.” The
statement made by the complain-
ant assumes most nearly that

(A) No person who is law ubid-
ing is either a professional

gambler or an amateur gambler;
(B) some people who are profes-
sional gamblers are not criminals;
¢C) all professional gamblers and

criminals, but ot, boul

Question 86
nt iat Aca a
sometimes have to record
identities of witnesses. You arrive
at the scene of an accident and
you ask that all persons who wit-

nessed the accident give you their

Kl cantte: Neer iale ox vomiina 6 our

lice”; (C)
Paid (E) “rubber.”

A patrolman, off duty, is asked
"nat do Fou suppose is

it do you suppose is the pur~

pose to be served by having fre-

names and addresses, A group of | quent

eight persons step up to do so,
‘The group is of
position and

women. In heen the cred-
ibility of these itnesses
should take the autiees that

(A) Race is quite surely related
to credibility, though sex may be
unrelated; (B) sex is quite surely
related to credibility, h race
may be unrelated; (C) both race
and sex are quite surely related
to credibility; (D) neither race
nor sex is likely to be related to
the Issue of credibility unless the
accident involved either very
young or very old persons; (E)
both race and sex are probably
unrelated to the issue of cred-
ibility,

« Question 81

A police officer finds a man
dying in one of the city parks,
There are several stab wounds in
the man’s chest and his skull is
fractured. Just before dying the
man manages to say that he was
the victim of an assault and rob-
bery. Upon investigation by the
officer, a  bloodstained shoe-
maker's awl is found nearby. Of
the following, the most useful as-
sumption to make first in at-
tempting to solve the crime is
that

(A) For some reason the man
Hed so that, tentatively, his state-
ment ought to be disregarded;
(B) there were no witnesses to the
Possible crime; (C) the awl was
deliberately placed near the scene
of the crime to mislead the police;
(D) the murderer had access to
shoemaker's tools; (&) the blood
was present on the awl prior to
the commission of the allegéd
crime,

Question 82

Suppose that a patrolman
knows one of the residents on his
post to be a drug addict. The
addict has served several prison
terms but has, for the past few
days, been telling his acquaint-
ances that he has reformed, The

| addict is 47 years old and has just

been married for the second time,
The most intelligent position for
the patrolman to take under these
circumstances is that the addict
will probably

(A) Continue to have difficulties
with the law; (B) reform; (C) be
a law abiding citizen if his wife
has sufficient respect for the law;
(D) lapse into crime unless ade-
quate recreational facilities are
provided for him; (E) substitute
another vice for his drug addic-
tion.

to popular attitudes, and the rank
and file of the police, who enjoy
an unusual degree of personal and
official security, must be made
responsive to civie influences,” On
the basis of this statement, it may
most accurately be sald that

(A) The police should be the
Servants of the public; (B) stand-
ards of law enforcement fluctuate
with the degree of police activity
exhibited; (C) the unusual degree
of personal and official security
enjoyed by law enforcement
officers Js responsible for the high

dents on his post complains to a
patrolman, “The government's

rationing program is entirely un-
necessary, I think that we have
enough materials. There is no
sense in worrying about the
future.” The patrolman’s reply
may most effectively emphasize
as the chief reason for the ration-
ing program

(A) Aluminum; (B) blackout;
(C) conservation; (D) sugar; (EB)

were to conduct a survey of the
extent to which motorists are
making improper use of gasoline
rationing cards. Automobiles
leaving the city by an important
highway are being stopped on a
Saturday afternoon and the
drivers are being questioned. The
police officer may most reasonably
assume improper use of rationing
cards where the motorist states
that he holds
(A) An “X” card and fs on_ his
way home from work in a New
York City defense plant; (B) an
“xX” card and is taking his family
for a two-week tour through New

In Heart of Times Square

A reclassification of the NYC
Jobs, on the basis of duties and
responsibilities, and not on the
mere basis of salaries, was recom~-
mended by Wallance S. Sayre,
former NYC Civil Service Com~-
missioner, and now connected
with the U. 8. Civil Service Com-
mission In Washington, at a panel
discussion under the auspices of
the American Society of Public |
Administration, at the NYU Fac-
ulty Club, NYC,

The discussion topic was the
future of personnel administra-
tion in the N¥C government, in
the light of changes that have
taken place,

Mr, Sayre outlined the general
problem of administration—fiseal
control and management — and
appealed to public-spirited citi-
zens to show @ greater interest in
public administration,

Recommends Survey

He added that there ought to)
be a general survey of the NYC
service, with emphasis on what
are the real possibilities, and ad~-
mitted that “it takes political
courage to tackle it.” He said,
however, that such a task, proper-
ly done, would help the employees
{n their salary ambitions, and
would ultimately save the city
money. There are, he asserted,
both sub-standard wages and un-
necessary jobs. The low pay
would have to be brought up to a
decent level, he insisted, and the
unhecessary jobs would have to go
eventually, through transfers and
retirements, the nonfilling of vac-
ancies and the final abolition of
the job line in from the budget.

At the very first opportunity
there should be an inventory of |
the jobs really needed, he said

He then cited the history of the
Federal and State reclassifications |
and mentioned that there never
had been any proper classification,
much less reclassification, of NYC
jobs, in least in 40 years. He
described NYC as being behind
the times in personnel mhtters.

Stronger Board Asked
He recommended strengthening
the NYC Civil Service Commis-
ston, doubted the wisdom of a bi-
partisan board, and preferred a
non-partisan one. He added that
the method of obtaining recom-
mendations for appointments to
Commission membership from the
deans of colleges, from judges,
ministers, lawyers and bodies of
public-spirited citizens, had pro-
duced a much higher type of
Commissioner than the political
appointment method. Mrs. Esther
Bromley, one of the three NYC

Commissioners, was present,

NYC Job Policy

Lags, Personnel
Forum Is Told

Association, another speaker, sald
that real personnel directors were
not mere appointment clerks or
liaison officers, but persons versed
in the Internal management of
civil service,

He found the close effect of the
budgetary officers upon the work
of the NYC Civil Service Commis-
stoners not a healthy one in NYC,
and felt that the personnel mat-

ters should be solely under the
practical jurisdiction of the Com-
mission,

Budgetary interference causes |
poor conditions, he observed, be- |
Cause penny-pinching stifled real

consideration of the personnel
needs of the city. He thought
that the NYC Commission does

not have the examining staff of
experts that It deserves and that
much greater monetary induce-
ments must be made, to attract
the highest possible type of men
and women. He said this did not
reflect on the good work done by
the existing staff under trying
conditions, but did point up the
need of the greatest city offering
the greatest inducements to obtain
the greatest minds in civil service

to fil positions of rexponsibility
and authority.

“The Commission has got to
have more money,” he added, “and
it will be a good investment for
the city.”

He said that personnel was by
far the biggest cost item in the
NYC budget, but that you'd hard-
ly think so, when you noted the
relatively small amount of money
besa Neca for the Commissio:
work.

Training Program
He favored a well-deyised train-
ing program and said that tt was
particularly necessary for the
benefit of returning veterans, who
have been away from the city, or

from their city jobs, for long
periods, because of military duty,
More co-operation is needed

between the city departments and
the Commission, and all aloofness
must end, he insisted.

He agreed, up to a point, with
comment by Mr. Sayre about lack
of co-ordination in the manage-
ment of the city, due to diffused
and scattered functions. Mr.
Sayre wanted the Mayor's office
to be an overall management
center, Some changes in
direction already have been mer
by Mayor O'Dwyer. although
nearly to the extent recomme:
by Mr. Say) who also suggested
that the City Council's funclicns
are so slight that they could be
taken over by the Board of Biii-
mate, and the Council abolished,

AGE LIMIT STUDIED
The interpretation of Local Law
51, which waives age limits for
veterans on NYC tests, is being
studied by the Municipal Civil
Service Commission

Officers Benefited By Added Change

Mayor O'Dwyer is slated to an-
nounce any day a change in the
tour of duty for both Firemen
and Fire Officers. The Firemen

which they had been objecting s

the 24-hour tour or “long day.”
The Officers will all have the 8-
hour, added-duty system, except-
ing on Staten Island, and when
Promotions are made Staten

fits, thus establishing universal
hours for Officers as well as for.
Firemen.

Lack of promotion, Inadequate

that's the story of Louis Cohen

office across the corridor from
Mayor O'Dwyer and who is liaison

How does one dart from a low

“We call attention primarily to
the inequities of salary ranges
among the men doing Auto En-

that morale and loyalty of a group
of employees cannot be built when
for similar work and exactly the

from $1,860 to $2,520. In addition
to that there seems to be no known

civil service operating with more
and more freedom from political
and personal favoritism,

“It's the only way, if the sys-
tem is to work perfectly,” he ob-
served, and made this declaration:

“You will find that during the
O'Dwyer administration the merit
system will be administered wi
complete impartiality and in-

that I suffered as an employee
struggling to attain even a sub-
