Firemen Saves Two
To Win Citation

Two daring rescues from @
seventh story window ledge, using
@ sealing ladder to breach the
Jast ten feet, won a citation of
“Pireman of the Month" for Pire-
man 3rd Grade William V. Russo
of Ladder Co, 25.

The story, a real thriller, was
wryly told in the official report

“On arrival... our immediate
attention was focused on two men
at 7th floor level whose plight
was apparent. One victim, Mr.
Riles, was hanging outside the
window by one-arm and hand and
his position was extremely pre-
carious, The second victim, Mr.
Diaz, was on a window ledge out-
side the building holding onto the
window frame of adjoining win-
dow to the west, trying to shield
himself from the heat and smoke
isnuing from the windows. The
screams of agony and fright were
audible to tis on the ground and
++- quite apparent the time they
could maintain this position was
short.

“.. ‘The aerial, when positioned,
was slightly above the 6th Moor
window sill and this left mpproxi-
mately 10 feet between Fireman
Russo and the victim. The scaling
ladder was brought to the top of
the aerial Indder and then Fire-

against accepting gratuities at
Christmas or any other time.

Beside issuing ® written notice,
the Commissioner personally
warned more than 1,000 DS super-
visory officers and others in the
Department, He said that this is
the time of year when abuses —
by Department personnel and
often well-meaning citizens — are
likely to occur,

“Whether gratuities are -olleited
or volunteered,” Mr. Screvane
sald, “thelr existence can lead to
various kinds of abuses. For the
good of the service and all con
cerned, now and throughout the
year, gifts must be refused.”

State Investigators
Look for “What's
Wrona With N.Y.C.”

The New York State Commis-
sion on Governmental Operations
spent 5 days in New York listen-
ing to a variety of opinions on
“What's wrong with City Govern-

ment.” As might be expected, there |

were plenty of opinions. Under
particular attack were the Bor-
ough Presidents’ set-ups, the two-
house council-Board of Estimate
system, the dual-capital operating
budgets, and the adequacy of the
City management system. Stanley
Isaacs picked four city depart-
ments for oblivion: Labor, Com-
merce and Public Events, Civil
Defense and Air Pollution Control.

Probable recommendations
More separation of legislative and
administrative functions of Board
of Estimate members; less power
for the Comptroller, more for the

City Administrator, no more
“home rule.”

Editor, The Leader:

Who ts New York City trying
to kid? T read your story last week
about the test for electrician’s
helper, paying $17.50 a day. That's
Jess than $2.20 an hour, which is
ridiculous for the experience re-
quired,

T have been waiting for a job
Uke this to come up for aver six
moniths, but now when I find out
what the salary is I guess Tl stay
where I am—doing wiring, non-
union, for a contractor at $2.85
an hour, which ts punk and I
can do better,

T sure would like to take a City
Job because the work is good, it's
secure and you generally get your
rights, especially promotion, but
with three years’ experience I can
do a lot better.

I just want the City to know
they are losing a lot of good
people with thelr crummy pay
rates.

haye been campaigning tirelessly for pay raises were

“granted their wish" by the Career and Salary Plan's Sal-| NEW YORK CITY
ary Appeals Board on Dec, 11. The unfortunate result of the | owe

one-step upgrading most of them got, however, is that only
new employees will profit $250 a year or more, while the
veteran employees who fought for the upgradings won't see
any extra money until they near the top step of their titles,
by which tlme most of them may have been promoted
through competitive examinations,

The City policy governing title upgradings seems de-
signed to save money and make recruiting easier — not to
do justice to the employees, Either of two things would ac-
complish the purpose fought for by these continually under-
paid clericals: increased pay for each present grade or up-
gradings of more than one grade,

The Board of Appeals saw its way clear to lay over for
after Jan. 1 decisions on ypgradings for the clerical titles
above senior clerk, thus insuring a delay of at least six
Months for any upgradings then recommended. The Board
must see its way clear at Its next meeting to grant at the
very least, upgradings of one step for the nine high clerical
titles laid over.

McGarvey Stalling Again
On Trooper Work Rules

UPERINTENDENT of State Police Francis McGarvey

appears to be as reluctant as ever over glying up one
fota of contro! over State Troopers, whom he prefers to look
upon as the troops of a semi-military body under his per-
sonal generalship,

It took a lot of hot publicity and strong action by the
Civil Service Employees Association to get the troopers’
work week cut down a few months ago from 120 hours to
60 hours per week. When this slave schedule was sliced, the)
CSEA was also assured that troopers would get a set of
attendance rules to protect their working rights by estab-
Ushed order instead of whim.

1 Right — Not a Faver

Despite asurances to the troopers that they would get
such rules, and assurances to the Employees Association
that !t could see any proposals on the matter before they
were effectuated, Mr. McGarvey is on the stall again and
has done neither to date.

Surely someone must point out again to the superin-
tendent that he is not supposed to grant the rules as a
favor — the troopers are entitled to them and immediately.

Further delaying tactics by Mr. McGarvey are bound to
eventually pull the whole trooper problem back into public
debate instead of administrative action,

This method worked once and if Mr. McGarvey doesn't
act soon, he may find it happening again.
whole problem is being handled the wrong way unnecessar-
ily.

THINKS GRADS SHOULD
GET HIGHER PAY
Editor, The Leader;

Tam a blue-collar worker for
the Pederal Government and I like
|a large pay check as much ax the
hext guy, but I was really shocked
to read in your U.S. Service News
Items that blue-collar workers with
little or no experience start some-
times at a higher salary than col-
lege graduates, in engineering yet,

Now, I would not advocate lower-
ing the salaries of blue-collar work-
ers, but it certainly seems that the
salaries of college graduates, men
who have worked very hard and
spent much money for their edu-
cations, should be quite # bit
higher,

Salaries for college graduates in
private industry are much higher
usually and I would hate to think
that all the good engineers and
others were working there instead

was made when the handling of

and do not have to be in order,
one ofter the other.

the so-called Labor Relations Plan
for the City clvil service was
placed in the hands of the Depart-
ment of Labor, This department
is not an Impartial agent. Tt Is con-
trolled by the Mayor and all Labor
Commissioners to date have been
persons close to the Mayor, We
believe an impartial agency should
be named by the Mayor to deal
with matters concerning City-em-
ployee relations, or the function
| should be “dflegated to the Civil
apd Comfnission,

3, The City’s Career and Salary
| Plan has been in effect for five
\years. It originated in a position
jand pay study urged for a genera
|tlon by this Association and other
civie groups, and finally author-

sults of the first study, made pub-
He in 1952, met with such violent
hostility from employee organiza-
tions that, under pressure, the pro-
Ject was reorganized, and handed
over to the then Municipal Civil
|Service Commission's unprepared
| starr, Many basic errors were in-
|evitably made, For example, desk
audits (on-the-ground —investiga-
tons of actual duties of positions)
| Were made the last, instead of the
first step in reciassifying the cha-
otic Job structure.

As a result, many real work sit-
|wations were ignored. Political
|commitments were made. For in-
| stance, persons {n the former “'un-
graded” service and in the top
grade of the former graded service
(where positions had no salary
maximums) were given favored
treatment by adoption of a resolu-
tion which insured them continu-
ous opportunity for unlimited pay
increases regardless of any salary
maximums to be set in future and
promotion to higher positions with-
jout any examination,

As a result of this resolution,
City employees have been divided
for promotion purposes into two
groups: those who were in posi-
tions with “‘unlimited'’ salaries be-
fore the Career and Salary Plan
was adopted, and those who were
in positions with maximum sal
aries, Not only as part of the gen-
eral reclassification of the City
service, but since reclassification
has been accomplished, persons in
the first group have been up-
graded into higher titles and sala-
ries by “designation” of the de-
partment head, while those in the
second class have been required
to pass competitive promotion ¢x-
aminations.

‘The inequitable and expensive
results of such basic errors are be-
ing perpetuated, They will not be
vemedied by the Personnel Depart-
ment’s Career and Salary Appeals
Board, which acts on complaints of
inequities from the employee point
of view—not inequities which ad-
versely affect the City,

The Career and Salary Plan
should be examined to find out how
costly the whole operation is;
whether it has been used to up
grade personal and political favor-
ites among employees; how the
Appeals Board functions, — what
standards it follows and what erl-
teria ft uses in making Its deel
sions, and who is actually respon
sible for the ultimate determina-

MENTAL HYGIENE ME

By A. J. COCCARO
A Christmas Letter

A short time ago this writer sent a letter to the Governor of
New York explaining his views on the pay equalization problem as |

expressed in w recent Mental Hygiene Memo, He would like to

share this letter with you.
Dear Governor: |
sed you will find a suggestion in handling the State }

emplo: pay equalization problem.

Working close to the employees I have had the opportunity
to discuss this matter with workers in many divisions of our
State service.

I hope that you will review the content and consider its
advantages, I wish that T were able to give you a real true
picture of the feelings thes employees have in subsidizing the
State programs by accepting substandard salaries. When an
employee of the great State of New York has to wait until pa
day to buy orange juice for his children then things are more
serious than they may appear.

Association Rejects Delays
On Trooper Attendance Rules

(Continued from Page 1)

We want your assurance that
the proposed Attendance Rules,
before adoption, be submitted
to our Association for study
and recommendation, which
will furnish the views of our
1200 members employed by
your Division, before final rules
are adopted

We wish to volee the thor-
ough dissatisfaction of our 1200
members employed by your
Division over the delay in the
establishment of Attendance
Rules

adoption of Attendance Rules

In your letter of December
9. 1958 to us d
“This classification survey
course, has tind priority over
the other matters under con-
sid and when a final
decision ts reached, then, of
course, the Attendance Rules.
as well as the rules and reg-
ulations concerning competitive
examinations for civilian post-
tions, will be formulated with-
oat any delay.”
The classification survey was
all completed and civilian em-
Ployees assigned classified ti-
tles before April 1, 1959, but the
assurance in your letter that
the Attendance Rules would be
formulated without any delay
carried out because
mber 8, 1959, eight
after the classification
was concluded, and
ats after an
urgent request for establtish-
ment of Attendance Rules was
made, you advice us:

now being studied.”
