ALBANY, Feb, 4 — Two bills
were introduced in the State Leg-
islature last week embodying the
administration's wage offer to em-
ployees for the year beginning
April 1, 1952 and ending March
31, 1953. One of the bills continues
last year's emergency compensa~

ommended by the Governor for

on the first $2,000 of
salary; plus 10 percent on salary

Both bills were introduced by

was noted that the $300 minimum,

Cold War on Public Service
Must Be Met With Strong
Offensive, Skiff Advises

BUFFALO, Feb. 4 — J. Victor
Skiff, Deputy Commissioner of the
State Conservation Department,
has called for a vigorous offensive
against the movement which he
describes as “the cold war on pub-
Ue service.”

Mr, Skiff lashed out at enemies
of civil service, in an address de-
livered on Saturday, January 26,
at a meeting of the Western Re-
gional Conference of the Civil
Service Employees Association,
Miss Winifred Stanley, of the
Btate Retirement System, ad-
dressed an afternoon meeting of
the all-day conference, held at the
Park Lane in Buffalo, Jesse B,
McParland, Association president,
described the negotiations which
led to a 6 percent salary offer by
the State administration, and ex-
plained why the organization had
determined to turn down that of-
fer, Noel McDonald, Conference
chairman, presided.

Tendency to Discredit

Mr, Skiff, in his fiery presenta-
tion, deplored “the increasing ten-
dency to discredit public service
and public servants generally; to
break down confidence in them
and in their work; and to build
up in the minds of our people a
feeling of uncertainty and fear
that their public affairs are being
handled by incompetent, inept,
immoral and irresponsible people
who are working solely for self-
interest at the expense of the tax-
payer,”

The Sources of Attack

Calling for a proper realization
of the source of attack, Mr, Ski
sald there might be # temptation
fo assume that it is Communist
Propaganda. But, he stated, “while
our enemies are no doubt glad to
aid and abet such a program, if
We are realistic about it we must
admit that it is fundamentally the
unwitting and quite understand-
able reaction of the average cili-

ff} met with a positive, realistic of-

zen to the exposures which have
been made in recent years.”

Mr, Skiff described the snide
and uncouth remarks, “the lifted
eyebrow, the stale jokes about
those in public office.”

A Real Menace

The cold war on public service
and public servants “represents a
very real menace — not only to
those of us who are public serv-
ants but, more importantly, to our
government and the people we
serve... . The constant reitera-
tion of baseless charges acts to
destroy self-confidence, personal
dignity, and pride in one’s work.
It discourages able young men and
women from entering public serv-
ice, All of this, in turn, can only
have the most serious effect on
the efficiency of government.”

Talking of the increasingly com-
plex relationship of citizens to
government Mr, Skiff said: “Today
Wwe must have government-operat-
ed services in the fields of social
welfare, unemployment insurance,
workmen's compensation, police
protection, transportation, conser-
vation, Destroy or impair these
services and you destroy or impair
America,”

Must Be Met

The sniping at public servants
is almost wholly unjustified, Mr,
Skiff stated and added,

“This ts a challenge which must
be squarely met by those of us
who are public servants as well as
by other patriotic citizens every~
where. It cannot be met with
apologies nor with attempts to
shore up our defenses, It must be

fensive which carries behind it the
drive of everyone of us.”

Mr, Skiff called for renewed
confidence, and for a program to
bring to public attention the good
work being done by government
employees. Public servants must
themselves, he added, refuse to

ency, It can't be done, he insisted,
by legal codes of morality main-
tained by “some governmental
police force.”
Successful Meeting

The Conference, attended by
more than 100 delegates from em-
ployee units in the western sec-
tion of the State, was one of the
most successful. Miss Stanley, in
her address, described the work-
ings of State Retirement System,
and then answered a barrage of
questions flung at her by the
employees, At the afternoon ses-
sion, in addition to Miss Stanley
and Mr, McFarland, two other
speakers addressed the assem-
blage: J. Allyn Stearns, 3rd Asso-
elation vice president, who supple-
mented Mr, McParland’s descrip~
tion of the salary situation; and
Vernon Tapper, co-chairman of
the Statewide Association mem-
bership committee, who spoke
about methods of recruiting mem-

bers.

HAVE YOU solemnly sworn or
affirmed that you will support the
| Constitution of the United States
and the Constitution of the State
of New York and that you will
faithfully discharge the duties of
your office or position, according
to the best of your ability?

If you are a laborer in the Ex-
empt Class or in the Labor Class,
you are not required to take such
oath or affirmation. All other State
or local employees are required by
Section 31 of the Civil Service
Law to take and file one before
théy may be considered entitled
to start work on their respective
|Jobs. If they refuse to take and
file such oath or affirmation or if
they wilfully fail to do so, their
respective) employments “shall
terminate” until such time as they
comply with the 1}

New Oath for Each Job

A new oath may properly be
taken and filed for each new posi-
tion which an employee acquires,
whether by reclassification, change
of title, promotion or otherwise.
This is in accordance with a 1948
ruling by the Attorney-General
covering State employees. By ana-
logy the same rule would appear
applicable to local employees.

Oaths or affirmations, in the
form prescribed by Article XIII
Section 1 of the State Constitu-
tion, are filed by State employees
in the office of the Secretary of
State; by employees of a munici-
pal corporation in the office of its |
clerk; and by every other officer |
in the office of his county clerk,
unless another place is specified.

‘The oath or affirmation may be
taken by any officer authorized
to take within New York State
the acknowledgment of the exe-
cution of a deed of real property,
or by the officer in whose office it
is required to be filed.

Filed Too Late?

Suppose an employee has not
yet taken and filed his oath or
affirmation, can he still file and
preserve his employment? This}
question was recently considered
by the Appellate Division, Pint |
Department, in a proceeding me
lenging the it

WHAT EMPLOYEES
SHOULD KNOW

By THEODORE BECKER

received a promotion from an ell~
gible list during the 30-day period
for which the certification of his
name was valid, he had not filed
his oath until after this period
had expired. The list had been
certified August 20, the appoint-
ment made September 16, and the
oath filed September 23.

No Time Limit On Filing |
Said the Court: :
“While appointment must be

made during the life of a certifi-
cation, there is no requirement
that an oath be taken and filed
before the certificntion expires,
The oath requirement is a condi
tion subsequent to appointment
and must be complied with
before the employee enters upon
the discharge of his duties. No
time limitation for compliance is
prescribed by the statute. Section
30 of the Civil Service Law mere-
ly provides that in the event there
is a refusal or wilful failure to
take and file an oath the em-
ployment is to terminate. It im<
plies the existence of an emplo
ee-employer relationship befo:
the oath is taken.”

The Court thereupon held that
the filing of the oath more than
30 days after certification did not
upset the appointment — validly
made during the effective period
of the certification. (Lopinto ¥,.

Dillon was nominated as the As-
sociation candidate for employee
representative on the Service Rat-
ing Appeals Board in the annual
election for this position. This is
the Board which hears employee
appeals from annual service rat-
ings, Members were urged to sup-,
port him and vote for him in

cussed, The 6 per cent offer was
called inadequate.

ALBANY, Feb. 4—The Legisla-
ture has full authority to raise
3-6010/| the pension of retired members of
the State Employees Retirement
System, and also to compel units
of local government to raise pen-
sions, Attorney General Nathan-
fel L, Goldstein ruled in constru-
ing the pension amendment to the
State Constitution, enacted at the
Polls last November.

The question of how to im-
plement the constitutional amend-
ment, which was known as the
Mahoney bill, with adequate statu-

to provide for such increases nec-
essarily includes the power to au-
thorize or require the use of local
public moneys for that purpose.”

The Civil Service Employees As-
seciation, through its pension
committee, has argued in favor
of a liberal. construction of
the amendment, so that pen-

amounts, in recognition of the re-
duced purchasing power of the

are in desperate financial straits.
Aid to needy pensioners was en-

regarded as being broader in
scope.

Relief Law Unpopular

‘The amendment was supported
by the State Administration, al-
though not until persuasive ar-
guments had been repeatedly pre-
sented in favor of it. Also, the
Welfare Law was amended, so
that needy pensioners could get
additional income, up to a total of
$900, including the additional aid.
‘The extra amount, however, was
in the form of relief, and hasn’t
proved popular, Only 629 former
State employees and 775 former
local government employees have

restraints, the authority of the
Legislature over municipalities is
otherwise sufficient so that power

amount paid out was only $88.~
783. This law was enacted experi«
mentally, in the Administration's
hope that it would prove a solu-
tion, but the poor response has
shown that the experiment was
@ failure. General raising of pen=
sions is out of the question under
the statute.

The constitutional amendment
was enacted to make an exception
of pensions, just as relief is an

prohibits gifts, The word
“gift” is peculiar to the constitu-
tion. Now direct pension increases
not be a “gift” and are
not restricted.

Dewey to Send Message

‘The pension relief statute ree
quires that the pensioner must be
at least 60 years old and must
have been in public service at
least 20 years. There are other
restrictions, Employees and pene
sioners now striving for a liberal
interpretation do not want any
such stiff restriction imposed in
the amendment.

Bill Would
Freeze Pay
Bonuses

ALBANY, Feb, 4 — A bill to
make permanent the cost of living
pay increases granted to State
employees has been introduced im
the Legislature by Senator Sey-
mour Halpern and Assemblyman
Fred W, Preller, both Queens Re«
publicans.

Currently the additional com-
pensation must be approved by
new legislation each year.

“Similar action has been taken,”
they say, “in many counties and
cities throughout the State."

Jobless Aid for Per Diems

In a second bill introduced by
Senator Halpern and Assembly-
man Samuel Rabin, public em-
ployees who are paid on a per
diem or hourly basis would be
hrought under coverage of the
State Unemployment Insurance

W.

“At present,” the sponsors ex-
plained, “public employees paid
on an annual salary are covered
by unemployment insurance, By
the very nature of their compen=
sation they are usually guaran=
teed a full year’s work,

“On the other hand the per
diem or hourly paid workers are
more apt to be seasonal or tem=
porary and thus subject to lay~
offs. It only seems fair that these
employees be given unemployment
protection.”

Accident Disability

A third Halpern bill, this time
teamed with Assemblyman
Thomas A. Dwyer, (Dem. Kings)
would give New York City civil
service employees the right of re~
view in accident disability cases,
A trial committee would be es-
tablished within the Board of Este

Mr, Waterbury didn’t have to
think a moment before replying,
“Tt was just like killing a rat.”

A rat Polonius might have been;
but was there justification for
Hamlet killing him? Is a man ever
justified in killing another man—
outside of war or in self-defense?
This is a weighty moral issue, The
average person would be inclined|
to give a negative answer. Mr. Wa-

the person is real—thought differ-
ently.

Who They Are

All the students were men.
They showed deep interest in their
studies, They looked intelligent,
too, and you wouldn't have sus-
anything amiss, unless you
noticed that they weren't
dressed in business suits, that they
did not return to their quarters
unescorted, and all the rooms
through which they passed had
barred windows, Indeed. the class-
room itself had barred windows.
Yes, the men were prisoners, and
Mr. Waterbury, a former laborer,
is serving 20 years to life for mur-

He is deeply interested in liter-
ature now, his classmates,
and looks forward to each session

with eagerness, At night, after the
“Lights out” order, he lies on his
cot, thinking about the works of
the masters of literature, and
questions he'll ask at the next ses-
sion, which he'll address to Mr.
Hertz, who will address him as
Mr. Waterbury. It’s Mr. This and
Mr, That both ways.

Great Books fnovement has re-
ceived a co-operative and stimu-
lating impetus that comes near
setting the mark for prisons,

So, when time comes to be re-
leased, it’s not uncommon for an
ex-convict to ask the warden
where he can keep up his studies.
Contempt for the “educated fel-
low” might have existed when the
prisoner entered the gray walls,
but after he’s spent some time—
up to three years—studying the
great works of literature, he feels
that he's a partly “educated fel-
Jow” himself, and looks with awe

Rent Commission Lawyers
See Promotion Prospects Dim

Applications are being received
by the State Civil Service Depart-
ment until Friday, February 15
for two open-competitive jobs for
Jawyers. These are junior attorney,
$3,846 to $4,639, and attorney, $4-
710 to $5,774. The jobs are with
the Temporary State Housing
Rent Commission. The salaries are
those at start and after five an-
nual increments, But any raise
that is granted by the State Legis-
Jajure is not to be applicable to

filled after April 1, The like-
hood of either of these lists be-
eo, established before then is re-

mote,

The application fee for the at-
torney job is $4 and that for
junior attorney is $3.

‘The jobs are to be filled “imme-
diately" in both instances, No
statement is made of how many
vacancies there are,

Promotion Tests Also

In addition, there are two pro-
motion exams, for which applic:
tions close also on February 15,
Both are interdepartmental, Any
State employee in an eligible title
in any department or agency for
three months prior to Saturday,
March 22, the exam date, may ap~
ply, but eligibles, prior to appoint-
ment, must have been in the eli-
gible title for a year. The occu
pancy must have been on a per-
manent competitive basis in both
cases, These exams are (a) junior
attorney and principal law clerk,
$3,846 to $4,639, and (b) attorney
and head law clerk, $4,710 to $5,~
714. Thus the salaries are the
same for the equivalent open-
competitive and promotion exams,
and the question that bothers
some employees of the Rent Com~-
mission is whether or not they'd
be promoted, should they “make”
the list, instead of open-competi-
tive eligibles being appointed.
They are mainly junior attorneys
who filed for both open and pro-
motion attorney exams,

Fear Jumping of Gun

The rule is that promotion lists
must be used before open-competi-
tive ones. The open-competitive
title is common to part of each of
the two promotion tests — junior
attorney and attorney. Anxious
employees maintain that the pro-
motion list should and must be
used. They're afraid the open-
competitive lists will be estab-
Mshed first.

The fact that the Rent Com-
mission jobs are in NYC limits the
Bumber of persons who would
@ompete in a statewide open-

competitive test, while the num-
ber of employees in eligible titles
mits the number of promotion
test candidates. It is expected,
however, that the candidates for
the open-competitive jobs in’ NYC
will be more numerous than those
for the statewide promotion exams,
in which vacancies total only six,
with no mention of Rent Commis-
sion vacancies, which further dis-
porn employees of that Commis-
ion.

The requirements, aside from
present State jeb-holding, are
about the same for the respective
pairs of jobs, and in all of them a
Jaw degree is required. Also, the
tests will be about the same for
each pair, judging from the offi-
cial announcement of subjects, al-
though higher skills and broader
knowledge will be tested for the
higher pair of jobs.

‘The written test in all cases
will deal with administrative law,

legal terminology and forms, law

office and court proc legal
research, individual f tnveliibation,
rules of ‘evidence, analysis of evi-
dence, writing of reports and
opinions, legislative procedure and
bill-drafting.
Minimum Requirements

The detailed requirements in the
Promotion tests are given in the
State exam announcements,

The requirements for the open-
competitive jobs are:

4353. Junior attorney. Admission
to the Bar and either (a) two
years of the practice subsequent
to such admission, or (b) one year
of such practice and a college de-
gree, or (c) satisfactory equiva-
lent of (a) or (b).

4352. Attorney. Admission to the
Bar and either (a) four years of
law practice subsequent to such
admission, or (b) three years of
such practice after such admission
and a college degree, or (c) a
cs apes equivalent of (a) or
(b).

In State Work

ALBANY, Feb. 4—John J. Ber-
gin, popular figure in the State
Public Works Department, was
honored at an informal ceremony
in the State Office Building on
Friday, Jan. 25. Tokens of es-
teem were extended by Superin-
tendent B. D. Tallamy and Mr.
Bergin’s fellow employees in the
office of Bureau of Contracts and
Accounts, in which he {s employed,

The occasion was completion of
forty years’ service in the Depart-
ment. Mr. Bergin, chief account
clerk in charge of highway main-
tenance records, entered State
service in 1909 in the Education
Department. During World War I
he served in the Navy on a sub-
chaser in the Mediterranean in
the well-known “Suicide Fleet.”
During World War IL he directed
the activities of the Aircraft

County.

Mr. Bergin resides with his wife

Man Turns

Radiators Upside Down, _
Wins $500, Biggest Award

ALBANY, Feb. 4—For the sec-
ond time this month an alert em-
Ployee of the New York State
Public Works Department will re-
ceive @ cash award for a sugges-
tion to reduce the cost of main-
taining the Albany State Office
Building. Richard J. Glander, of
404 Washington Avenue, Rensse-
jaer hit the New York State Merit
Award Board jackpot for a record
amount of $500.

Public Works Superintendent
B. D, Tallamy made the presenta-
tion in his office on Monday, Jan-
uary 28, acting on behalf of the
Merit Award Board, of which

5. | Henry A. Cohen is Chairman. Mr.

Glander, who holds the position of

sorauwn COUNT, pxoNx COUNTY. fa plumber and steamfitter in the

State Office Building, received the
cash award for a suggested pro-
cedure which will double the life

‘jof some 3,000 steam radiators in
bem |the Office Building, at an annual

saving of $14,000 in maintenance

-|cost. Although his suggestion was

& simple one, it is deemed all the

more worthy because the savings
can be made with a minimum ef
labor and expense.

They're Leaking

After some 23 years of service
the radiators in the building are
starting to leak around the nip~
ples, which seal the numerous
sections along the bottom of the
radiators, This is a characteristie
of steam radiators, which have a
normal life expectancy of approxi-
mately 20 years. Such leakage does
not occur in the nipples near the
top of the radiator, for the simple
reason that they are not exposed
to water and sediment inside the
radiator, In carrying out Myr,
Giander's suggestion, the mainte~
mance crew in the building will
simply disconnect the radiators,
turn thenr upside down, and re-
connect them. Thus, the unaffect-
ed portion of the radiators will be
placed at the bottom, so that an-
other 20 years of life may be
realized from them,

tenance; H. Arnold and W. La
Shure, Clerical; and President W.

The membership campaign was
discussed and results showed the

campaign. Tt was decided that a
breakdown of the delinquent mem-
bers and non-members be sent to
each department represented in
the chapter and a final campaign
be made this month,

A discussion on joining the
Western Conference was also held.
Tt was decided to put the issue
to vote of members during March
when the nominating ballots are
prepared.

Plans were formulated for the
annual dinner-dance meeting to
be held at the Hornell Country
Club during the third week of
April. The president appointed a
committee to make arrangements
for the event,

C. Pixley, assistant civil engin-
eer, is recovering from a@ serious
fall, Trust he'll be back with us
soon,

Mrs. Gladys McCullough, senior
stenographer, retired February 1
after nearly 33 years of State

Monroe

HAROLD B, McELWAIN, presi-
dent of Monroe chapter, CSEA,
was appointed Commissioner of
Public Works for the City of Ro-
chester to fill a vacancy which
has existed for several months. It
is an honor to have our President
appointed to such a responsible
position, but it is a great loss to
the chapter, as Mac feels that his
new duties will take so much of
his time that he will be unable
to continue as president. The
chapter wishes him the best of
luck inf his new position.

Elmer Conrad has submitted his
resignation as treasurer because
of lack of time. Elmer did a lot
of work for the chapter and we
will miss him greatly.

State Is Asked to Continue
Industrial School at Troy

ALBANY, Feb. 4 — A bill has
been introduced in the Legislature
which would insure continuation
of the Veterans Vocational School
at Troy for five years. The meas-
ure is sponsored by Assemblyman
‘Wheeler Milmoe, chairman of the
Committee on Education, and
Senator Gilbert Seelye. The bill
has the support and backing of
veteran groups and prominent in-
dustrialists,

The bill would change the name
of the school to the New York
State Industrial Technical Insti-
tute, continue the school for a
five-year period under the juris-
diction and control of the State
‘University system and provide
post-high school courses, not to
exceed two years, designed pri-
marily for industrial technical
employment, A seven member Ad-
visory Board would be created, to
be appointed by the Governor. Ad-
mission would be limited to high
school graduates, or equivalent, or
those who can meet the entrance
requirements, The admission would
be $250 minimum, An appropria~
tion of $300,000 is sought.

1,440 Graduates

‘The school was established in
1945 and has graduated 1,440 vet-
erans, representing every county
in the State. Of these graduates,
69.4% found employment in the
field for which they trained.

In 1950 permission was granted
to admit non-veterans, who were

required to pay the tuition of $705
per year, This tuition charge has
discouraged non-veterans from
availing themselves of the train-
ing opportunities offered by the
school. With the lower tuition fees
and State support, the school
would attract many non-veterans.
At present, 13 courses are offered
in the various leading fields,
taught by 42 experts.

The school has equipment and
supplies valued at $2,400,000, ac-
cumulated during the six years it
has been in operation, Unless ac-
tion is taken by the State, there
is danger that the program will
be terminated.

In the six years, 15,000 inquiries
have been received. Mr. Holliday,
director, states that any inquiries
regarding the school and the

dressed to him at Veterans Voca-
tional School, Broadway and

the regional Association attorney,
Mr. Harold Herzstein, will repre-
sent any member in court in cases
arising out of assaults and other
hazards entailed in line of duty,
Mr, Herzstein will not, of course,
supplant the work of district at
torneys in such cases, but will see
to it that employee has a friend
in court. The situation arose out
of a case in which a State Un-
employment Insurance employee
was fired at last week... .

At a meeting of the chapter
held last Thursday, a motion was
Passed urging a meeting of Asso~
station delegates before February
15 on the salary question. The

the Metropolitan Conference for
such a meeting.

Committee

Makes Progress in Talks

With Tallamy

ALBANY, Feb, 4—As prepara-
tion for reports to be submitted at
the annual dinner meeting of the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion, to be held at the DeWitt
Clinton Hotel, Albany, on Thurs-
day, March committee of Pub-
lic Works Department employees
met with Superintendent Bertram
D, Tallamy and Joseph Ronan,
executive assistant, The commit-
tee consisted of William Green-
auer, District 10; Joseph Corr,
District 1; Roland Schoonmaker,
Grange County public works chap-
ter of the CSEA, and Charles J.
Hall, Employee problems were dis-
cussed,

The question of whether any
truck driver, light maintenance
foreman, ceneral maintenance
foreman or tree pruner would be
reduced in pay because of reclassi-
fication beginning April 1, was
brought up by Mr. Greenauer,

From a survey of District 10
employees made by Mr. Green-
fuer, it looked as if a number of
men would be reduced.

New Shop Titles

Mr. Ronan directed Mr. Green-
auer to check his figures and send
them to him and if reductions
threaten, further action would be
taken by the department.

The question regarding titles in
the shops, already approved by
the Reclassification Board and
now in the hands of the Budget
Director, was answered Mr,
Ronan. He stated that these titles
would probably be approved by
the Budget Director by the end
of this month,

The question of allowing com-
mon laborers to operate expensive
equipment was discussed. The an-
swer was that the department was
trying to get more jobs allotted.

The question of a larger allow-

remainder of the privately

Overtime pay for electricians,
in lieu of compensatory time off,
was discussed. Now such pay
granted in the Buffalo and Baby-
lon_ Districts.

The department is endeavoring | the

to obtain similar treatment for
the electricians in Poughkeepsie,

Sanitary facilities for the em-
ployees in the counties was again
brought up, Mr. Tallamy made
suggestions that should solve this
problem.

The question of up-grading sign
painters was discussed. Mr. Tall-
amy agreed that these men should
be put in a higher grade and said
he would try to find lution,
It may be a change of title.

The question of time clock reg-
ulations remains unanswered.
Many formulas have been submit-
ted but none has been satisfactory.

Committee Thanks Officials.

The question of raising the
$3.75-a-day subsistence for the
field.engineers and the $4 rate for
maintenante men to $6 per day
was again submitted. Mr. Ronan
said the Budget Director has
agreed to an increase but not yet
settled on a figure,

The committee felt that this
meeting was a very favorable one
and thanked Mr. Tallamy and Mr,
Ronn for their cooperation,

tinue in succeeding weeks, with
additional employee group, civic
organizations,
heads stil to participate.

More than 400 groups have ask-

ed permission to address the
Formal Hearing Board.

Six Major Complaints

Criticism levelled at the plan in
the first week of hearings center-
ed around these major charges:

1, The pay scales are too low,
especially at teh lower levels;

2. An
field audits has resulted in many
erroneous classifications;

3. The increment plan doesn't
provide frequent enough or large
enough increments;

4. Seniority is ignored;

5, The employees’ present rights
are reduced or in some cases de-
stroyed;

and department

While there were many specific
criticisms, there was no great en-
usiasm see the Griffenhagen
plan abandoned. Both AFL and
CIO spokesmen offered support
for the classification, but with al-
terations. The Civil Service Forum
and John DeLury called for scrap-
ping it; the United Public Work-
ers called for scrapping most of it.
Several unions offered strong sup-
port. But criticisms came from all,

Vet Preference

Issue Ris

ALBANY, Feb. 4 — A growing
Movement is under way among
veterans to amend the Mitchell
vet preference law so that addi-
tional preferences would be ex-
tended to veterans,

And a committee of policemen
and firemen, which had been ac-
tive in getting the Mitchell bill
passed, is quietly organizing in an
attempt to forestall this action.

Recent Developments

Capital observers noted the
following recent developments.

1, The formation of a united
committee under the sponsorship
of the State Advisory Council of
Veterans Organizations, of which
Edward A, Fitzgerald, Mayor of
Troy, is chairman.

2. Approval by the state legis-
lative committee of the American
Legion of a resolution calling for
modification.

3. Indications that the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, Catholic War
Veferans, Jewish War Veterans

would adopt similar legislative
Programs.

Modifications desired include a
plan that would insure the ap-
Pointment of a veteran once his
name was reached on an eligible
list, Under the one-out-of-three
leeway allowed appointing officers,
sponsors point out, it is now pos-
sible to skip veterans,

Proposals which would allow
the present law without destroy-
ing it entirely were made,

To date, except for the Legion
resolution, activity has been con-

the veteran groups.
‘Counter-Measure’

and fire group have prepared a
measure which would forbid the
use of veteran preference except
on original appointment,

very far at this session, with the
Legislature anxious to adjourn |{
rapidly and without adding any
major controversies to its calendar,

more than once on each type of
examination also are sought.

~The entire campaign this year
is a sign that the organized vet~
erans, who fell flat in their frontal
assault aimed at outright repeal
of the Mitchell law, are trying to
achieve their aims by amendment,

50 Veteran

ALBANY, Feb, 4—The Division
of Veterans affairs faces the pros-
pect of laying off some 50 veteran
counselors as the result of the new
State budget submitted to
Legislature last week.

One of the largest cuts made in
funds for any agency, Veteran's
Affairs was slashed $464,591 from
what it received for total opera-
tions during 1951-52,

Percentage-wise the cut amount~
ed to nearly 25 per cent of last
year’s ,

At a conservative estimate, at
Lae 45 and possibly as many as

"0 jobs of veteran counsellors or

senior veteran cotinsellors will
haye to be dropped.

Wie uae are 130 counselor jobs in

No Replacements

How the reduction of force will
come remains a problem. Asked
about this when the budget was
announced, the Governor's office
said the Division of Veterans Af-
fairs was “not replacing those
who leave,”

Members of the Division itself,
however, point out that such a
slash in funds does not allow for
anything but reducing the coun-
seling staff markedly, since the
budget specifies that $452,850 of
the reduction will come in “ser-
vices and expenses for veteran
— clerical and other ser-
vices,”

“This will mean laying people
off April 1,” said one representa-
tive of the Division.

Pressures Begin

The jobs, which pay $4,710 to
$5,774 for counselor and $5,774
to $7,037 for senior counselor, are
high enough in the salary scale to
make certain the incumbents will
do all they can to hold them.

ready pressures are being felt
in Albany looking for some other
method of reducing the budget in
order to maintain the counseling

jobs.
Pros and Cons

Arguments are advanced in sup-
Port of the cut to the effect that
the caseload has declined and is
continuing to decline, that there
has been duplication of effort be-
tween state and federal counseling

| facilities, and on-the-job training
¥.| Programs are rapidly tapering off.

Arguments in support of the

"| fobs are that the load of work is

not declining as markedly as some

rsons state, that in view of

orea we should not cut a service
we may need when the full im-
pact of the returning Korea vet-
erans is felt, and the gow
that.once gone it would be dii
cult to replace the training ise
experience of present counselors
should any future need arise,

WHAT'S your civil service problem?

Tuceday, February 6 1988 |

|
]

As an editorial service to its State and local q
readers, the Civil Service LEADER will undertake ‘

to answer the problems of employees and give assist-
ance wherever possible.

In writing, please be as specific as possible. Give |

all the details. It may take a little while before

4

we can respond, because we'll want to check, of |

course, and give you the best possible service. It may
not always be possible for us to help or to provide
satisfactory answers—often there aren’t any satisfac-

tory answers.

But we'll try. We want to be as helpful as we can.
Something about an eligible list? A question about
your retirement rights or privileges? A grievance you
want to have processed? Are you being hurt by a merit
system violation? Want to know how to make an ap:

peal on title or salary?

Let us have the facts. Of course, we’ll keep all com-

munications in confidence.

New York City 7,
