Mr, Powers, reminding presl-
dents of a Sept, 21 deadiine for

tinued at full-speed.

more than 70,000 if present mem-
bers cooperated fully

Mr, Greenberg said that “the
CSEA has before it a golden op-
portunity. The easy method of

vice employees should reap a

membership harvest."

The membership chairman re-
Queated the ald of ll fellow mem-

By Civil Service Vote

(Continued from Page 1)

Post Office and Civil Bervice Committee, ts already making political
speeches, to public employee conventions, denouncing the Eisenhower
administration's opposttion that killed the Senator's bill to liberalize
Federal pensions. Since this mensure has strong support from em-
ployee organizations, the Senator feels that taking the opposition
to tank for blocking pension improvement {s popular with the gov-
ernment workers,

Also, the Senator and others in the Democratic camp polnt
ut that the Republicans claim credit for legislation that could not
have been passed by Congress without the votes of Decocrata tn both
the Senate and the House. The argument ts, Sure, the President
signed the bills, but if the Democrats had not voted for them, there
would have been no bills to sign. Some of the measures, the argument
continues, originated with the Democrats, and others were more
effectively supported by them than by the Republicans,

U.S. Promotion Tests
Should Be Competitive

RESOLUTION on promotions, adopted by the con-

vention of the National Federation of Federal Em-
ployees, asks that they be made strictly on the basis of
merit and fitness,

This seems to hint at the advisability of the Federal
complex and sprawling Federal government, but not im-
as is so successfully done by state and local govern-
ments. True, the practically standard method in smaller
jurisdictions would be more difficult to administer in the
fn the complex and sprawling government, but not impos-
possible.

As it is, many a Federal promotion is based more on
personal liking for an employee than on his merit exe
ing that of other eligible employees.

Limitations of a Silent Watchdog

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR

WANTS TO KNOW
ABOUT OTHER HEALTH PLANS
Editor, The Lender:

In recent issues of the Leader
there have been full page ad~
vertisements by Blue Cross-Blue
Shield describing how thelr plan
meets the specifications described
by the insurance committee of
CSE.A, It is unfortunate that
the other major carriers of health
and accident Insurance did not
see fit to buy space to describe
the features of the plans they
can offer, with a point by point
analysis of how these also meet
these specifications, as, in fact,
they do. From reading the
Leader alone, the impression
is fostered that only by contract-
ing with Blue-Cross Blue Shield
ean employees be protected. Ob-
Viously this is not the case. Ma-
jor employers much as General
|Electric and Senra-Roebuck cover
thelr employees with a different
type of plan, economical to both
nployer and employee, and to
the general satisfaction of both,

The principal way in which
Blue Cross-Blue Shield coverage
differs from standard coverage is
the type of policy, “service” in-
stead of the usual “cash pay-
ment” type, When Blue Cross-
Blue Shield states that no other
company will offer thelr terms,
they mean chiefly that the others
do not have “service” contracts,
but the misleading tmpression
that they leave is that no other

The Federal Civil Service Commission has long been
the barkless watchdog over promotions, but has neither |
large enough staff nor clear enough authority to compel}
merit always to be substituted for favoritism,

Favoritism may be the exception, with a little of-|
fice politics or even political politics, thrown in. The prime |
necessity is to get the government's work done well. That
obligation itself limits the extent to which favoritism can
be practiced. Many thousands of valuable Federal em-
ployees have justly earned their promotions, gotten them
the hard-way, and others have been advanced undeserved-
ly, while much more competent ones were allowed to stag-
nate in dead-end jobs,

Competitive examinations themselves are no panacea,
They are, however, far different than the lessef of two|
evils. They have an affirmative value in their creation of
employee confidence in the fair-mindedness of the employ-
er, and raising and sustaining of employee morale, Once
a competitive promotion program is adopted, it is never
abandoned. That is as high a tribute as one can pay to
any method in the difficult field of employee relations.

Time to Try It Widely

The Federal government should introduce competi-|
tive promotion examinations in some of its departments
and agencies, just to find out for itself if the method sat-|
isfles requirements. |

Certainly candidates who attain the highest scores do |
not always make the best supervisors. A better selection
could be made occasionally through informal means, That
fallibility is the price of equity for the employees. Nor is
the price exorbitant, If it were, competitive promotions |
would not have lasted for decades, nor would they have
become a permanent part of all clvil service systems that}
have adopted them.

The Federal government, for only the second time,
is holding competitive tests for promotion to post office
supervisory positions. The results of the first test there-|
fore must have been satisfactory. If the same experiment
wore amply extended to other departments, the final re-
sult would be foregone.

The day of competitive promotions in the Federal
government must come, Somebody in our lifetime might
like credit for accomplishing the improvement.

company will give as good a con-
tract as theirs, CSE.A. members
could hardly make up their
minds on the latter polnt unless
they were given more facts, on
both aides,

‘The “service” contract guaran-

tees payment of certain types of}
expenses, regardiess of price
(hospital room, surgeon, ete)
subject to various limitations on
tueome, maximum price, affilla~
tion with hospitals, etc; it ts
completely dependent on staying
in a hospital. This ts an expen-
sive form of coverage, since it
contains no incentive for the pa-
tent to keep expenses low, Prac-
tieally all “cash payment” pays
cover whatever expenses occur,
bur reduce overall costs by in-
troducing patient participation tn
the bill.
In deciding on the best plan
for civil service employees we
should compare not only the ser-
vices offered but also the price
tag. No insurer will give us some-
thing for nothing and it ts up to

Starting pay is what you get
when appointed. Annual increas-
e* are granted. After the normal
number of such increases is ob-
tained, no further automatic in-
increases result, until one has been
at the highest grade of a title for
& specified number of years. In
the New York City government
the number of years Is three. Ap-
pointments to higher than the low-
est grade are made in only some
tests, and then only from among
top rated eligibles, No postal ex-
amination ts tn sight for New York
or Brooklyn jobs for a year or
more.

SOCIAL SECURITY

HOW CAN I get tnformation
about the 1956 amendments to
the Social Security Act? P. K.

Free booklets on the new
aimendments are obtainable and
may be obtained from your So-
cial Security district office. Also,
for particular information, phone,
write, or visit your district office,

IF I BECOME eligible for di-
ghility payments beginning In
July, 1957, how much will my
benefit be? A, J. P.

The amount of your monthly
Clsability payment depends on
your average earnings under So-
cial Security. It is the same as
the amount of the old-age in-
surance benefit you would be en-
titied to If you were 65, your
benefit ia reduced by the amount |
of any other Federal disability |
benefit or any state or Federal!
workmen's compensation you re-
ceive,

MAY I INCREASE the amount
of my old-age insurance benefit
by returning to work? C, E.

If you apply for benefit pay-
ments and later return to work,

your additional earnings may
make you eligible to have your
benefit refigured, Whether you

would be eligible for an increase
depends on the amount of these
earnings and the length of addi-
tional employment. You must
file an application for any such
increase, Your payments are not
refigured automatically.

DMITTING that New York City has improved its
budget-making techniques, the Citizens Budget Com-
mission nevertheless remarks that this is far from saying
that the present method is perfect, or even adequate.
The CBC analyzed budget-making methods used by
other cities, including Chicago, Cincinnati, Denver and
Baltimore. The cities sampled were found to be tackling

the problem in new and unusual ways,

The CBC notes a trend toward greater public dis-
closure of budgetary matters, but finds public officials)
often resisting that trend.

Too Much Mystery Now

Public scrutiny, the CBC adds, is the essence of bet-!
ter budget management, So it is. An important part of |
that public are the public employees themselves. They
should be more freely consulted, and before it’s too late.

to an accomplished fact, for the budget hearings granted
them, as by the Board of Estimate in New York City, are
generally on issues already decided, Thus the hearings
take on much the aspect of a bitter farce.

All too often, the development of the budget within
the city government, stretching over many months, has
remained virtually an inscrutable mystery to anyone but
|those immediately engaged in its preparation,

the budget may not reflect the public will.

would not be proper for the Di-
vision to return the $1,000 to
Mr. Spass.

On the third question, the
board decided, in part: “It is
ebvious that Mr. Spass has suf-
fered loss as a result of his in-

\These credite will not, uniess
veatored, be available for future
use in the event he becomes tl,
Had Mr, Spass instituted no
third party action, or had
failed to recover, his own loss
would be the same as it la under
the present conditions, The loss
to the Division of Employment
under the six months discretion-
ary grant of leave would have
been greater than would have
been the case tf there had been
no action fnstituted by
Spass, ,

Conclusion

“It Is the conclusion of the
board that recoveries in third
{parties action stiould be applied
Hfirst against the discretionary
|leuve, if the granting of the
|leave ls conditioned on an agree-
ment to relmburse,

“However, In view of the pe-
cullar facts and circumstances
in this case, we are of the opin-
}ion that equity requires the re-
|otediting to Mr, Spass of all ac-
crued time used by him as a re-
sult of the injury and not pre-
viously restored to him,"

On the final question, the
bard concluded that the re-
quirement of a reimbursement
|ogreement is not sound person-
bel practice and recommended
[that the Division of Employment
and other state agencies should

jury. He has tsed accrued time!

Statement From Falk

The folowing statement was
made last week by Alexander A,
Falk, president of the State Civil
| Service Commission and chair-

man of the Temporary Health

Insurance Board:
| "The Temporary Health Insur-
| ance Board considered at its meet~

ing September 20 a variety of
benefits that could be incorpor-
{ated in a health Insurance plan
for state employees. It tentatively
established priorities as to the
| desirability of these benefits. Staft
| members were directed to cone
| tinue the work of preparing de~
tailed specifications fo a plan and
to have them ready for submis-
sion to the Board at its next
meting on October 9.

"No determinations have been
made a3 to the amount of mon-
Jey that will be available, to fi-
| nance the plan, The cost to the
state, and to the employees, will
depend on the type of plan and
the benefits to be included.

“The Board Indicaged at ite
meeting that before Tnal dects-
jons are reached, interested pare
| tes will have ful opportunity to
present their views to the Board
as to the nature of the health
insurance plan and the bene-
fits to be provided. In th emean-
time, mombeys of the staff and
T will continue to confer with em-
ployee representatives and other
Finterested parties, as we have

previously, whenever it ls neon
sary.”
