Carton Election to be Probed

APPELLATE DIVISION DENIES HIM LEAVE TO APPEAL 10 STATE'S HIGHEST COURT

The Appellate Division has de-

John E. Carton and other officers
of the NYC Patrolmen’s Benevo-
lent Association for leave to ap-
peal to the Court of Appeals from

would involve the same candid-

Thousands to Lose U.S. Jobs
To Eligibles by June 30

A June 30 deadline has been set |
by the U. 8, Civil Service Com-
mission's Second Regional Office,
of which James E, Rosse
ector, for the conversion
peace-time basis, which will in-
volve the replacement of thou-
sands of present war-service em-
ployees.

The Commission in Washington
recently reaffirmed the policy of
replacing war-service employees
with displaced career employees
who had been separated from
other jobs, so far as those dis-
placed could fill positions held by
persons who did not have per-
manent status, Also, the question
of appointing eligibles to per-
manent positions, in the order of
their standing on registers set up
after examination, is at stake.

Many non-veteran appointments
had to be made while veterans who
were higher on lists were in the
service, Rectification of this is
part of the present program,
The replacement of non-status
Port Patrol Officers is the first
action under the plan of total

conversion to peace-time basis of
operation, The papers are being
processed now to accomplish this

in the Port Patrol Officer cases,
Other titles will be the subject of
displacement orders, until the Sec-
ond Region achieves the aim of
replacing as many as possible war-

service, lower-eligible or tempor-
ary employees with permanent
ones.

Program Nears Completion
“The U. 8, Civil Service Com-
mission is approaching the com-

pletion of its post-war examining
program,” said the statement.
“During the last three years the
Commission has given thousands
of examinations leading to per-
manent appointment which have
involved many thousands of dif-
ferent categories of jobs. By June
30 the period of reconversion from
war-time procedures to normal
e-time procedures will be well

“Tt has been the Commission's
responsibility to keep faith with
the Executive Order which Presi-
dent Franklin D, Roosevelt issued
when the Federal civil service
system geared itself to the war
effort. The Executive Order im-
plied, and President Roosevelt

himself reaffirmed, that it would

ALBANY, April 4—The legislative
session ended in the early hours of
‘Thursday morning, last week,

Many matters of primary interest
to public employees, both State and
local, were consummated by the
Senate and Assembly, And some of
the matters on itr agenda were as-
signed to the Governor for accom-
plishment by executive order,

Many Gains

The major piece of legislation
which failed of passage was the 55-
year optional retirement bill, dis-
cussed on page 3 of this issue, But
as against this, the session has pro-
duced many valuable gains in all
aspects of employee interest. These
gains encompass not only matters of
retirement {mprovement other than
the 55-year bill, but also salary, in-
crement credits, veteran preference,
removal proceedings, unemployment
insurance, and other matters,

Most Important

From the brosd over-all civil ser-
vice point of view, the most import-
ant bill passed by the Legislature
was the Mitchell veteran preference
amendment, This amendment, which
ndw goes before the people in a ref-
erendum next November, provides
moderate preferences for disabled
and non-disabled veterans, and at

the same time aoes not ‘kill the
chances of non-veterans who want
to ente to advance in the
public sery The bill applies not
only to the

», but to county and
11,

Another

important
year was the freezing in of cost-of-

advance this

living bonus into base pay, This
achievement, which will be effectu-
ated as of Apri) 1, is proving to be

the most superior salary advance
made anywhere in New York State
this year. New York City and vari-
ous county employee groups have

not succeeded in obtaining a similar
bonus-

salary liberalization, The
freeze gives ty employ!
against sudden cut-off in their rate
of pay.

A third achievement, still to be
effectuated, is the consolidation into

Within less than two weeks after

In addition, certificates of award

A variety show and dancing

Fans the Breeze,

Gets Paid Off
For It by State

Fanning the breeze pays off!

So discovered Joffre Authier of
360 Madison Avenue, Albany, when
he received an award check for
$25.00 for a suggestion which he
submitted to the State Merit
Award Board,

Mr, Authier, a tax examiner,
became weary of hearing com~
plaints from the personnel in his
office about drafts caused by the
electric fans, So he decided to
try to eliminate the “blowing,”
both from the fans and his co-
workers.

By merely enlarging a hole in
the opposite side of the wall
bracket, he discovered that the
fan could be hung in an inverted
position, thus directing the air cur-
rent toward the ceiling rather than
on the back of someone's neck.

The Division in the Department
of Public Works which supervises
building maintenance, believes the
idea to be so meritorious that it
will be widely used.

What's Strong, What's Effee

The pugnacious instincts in man make it difficult to
determine employee policy on the basis of reason and
merit. It ii to advocate strong measures without
much consi ‘ation as to whether those “strong” measures
are really strong and effective. 7
Even labor unions are looking for a better basis of
operation through mutual respeet and cooperation be-
tween management and labor, and through the develop-
ment of Government as an agency for promoting indus-
trial peace.

Objectives

Our Association is dedicated to many things, some of
which at times seem inconsistent and even contradictory,
but which are really parts of a single broad objective.
st, our Association is devoted to promoting the real
welfare of all its members. In this, long term gains must
have precedence over short-term gains, and gains for all
must have precedence over gains for some. This does
not mean exclusion of minor gains.

The Association strives to serve all the people of the
State as well as the members. It does this in many ways,
but chiefly by doing all it can to encourage that every
public employee in his corner, small or great, do a genu-
inely good job for the public.

This aim, that the public shall have the best p
ervice, can be attained only by a civil service adminis
tion dedicated to the idea that the best shall serve the
State.

Service differs from
s, chiefly in that it is opera-
gest cooperatives in the world for service and
s from the
great body of ¢ service employees, chiefly in that they
are, for the most part, part and parcel of the political
machine and only remotely part of the Civil Service. I
do not impugn the motiy the integrity or the ability of
any top publie servants by this statement. I am merely
trying to point out an important difference, that is general
but not universal, A few Civil Service career men brez
through to the top. In some cases, they continue career
administrators. In others, they become politicians.

The Association, in seeking to serve both the mem-
bers and the citizens, has followed a policy of testing its
objectives in terms of the general good and of seeking
its ends and objectives by reason and conference as far
as p ble. It denies that there is any unfathomable gulf
between the various levels in government that good-will,
mutual understanding and respect cannot bridge,

| Integrity More Than Ability “

The great danger to our methods and our procedures,
is that human nature may not at all times be equal to the
inherent stresses and strains involyed in the process of
arriving at agreements and carrying out those agreements,
Integrity is even more essential than ability where agree-
ments cannot be firmly established by law or rule. Mis-
understanding is easy and recriminations are destructive
of good-will.

In moments of tension, we should strive to retain our

poise and our ‘sanity and to remember “there is always
tomorrow”. If we did not gain our pet tin whistle, let’s
remember what we did gain and try again next year.

machinery. A bill to achieve this
result had been introduced into the
Legislature. But by consent of all
parties, the plan will be worked out
by executive order before being con-
gealed into law. The Governor, it is
known, plans to meet with employee
representatives again before placing
his signature on such an order. But
he has already publicly committed
himself to its preparation,
“One-Man” Civil Service

One bill which caused high con-
troversy and was defeated in the
Legislature was a plan calling for a
“one-man” hossed Civil Service
Commission administrative and bir-
ing powers over those of his col-
leagues, While the idea for the bill
originated in the Governor's office,
it was not over-enthusiastically re-
ceived in any quarter.

Pay Boards Merged

The Classification and Salary
Standardization Boards were merged
in a bill passed by the Legislature.
‘This measure, sought by the Civil
Service Employees Association, is ac-
counted one which will bring excel-
lent results to employees in more
efficient deterinination of their prop-
er titles and the proper salaries they
should be earning for the jobs they
hold,

Jobs Made Competitive

An important achtevement accom-
plished administratively was the
covering of institutional employees
(Dannemora, Matteawan, Westfield,
and Albion) into the competitive
clkss, This advance had been sought
by legislation, but the Civil Service
Commission and the Governor per-
formed the change-over through ex.
isting law.

Salary Increases

The Legislature agreed to straight
salary increase for certain small
groups of employees, including fac-
ulty members of State Indian
Schools, district school superin-
tendents, members of civilian ar-
mory employees, members of the
State Police, wardens and chief ad-
ministrative otlicers of prisons, and
others,

Unemployment Insurance

Still another measure broadens

Retirement Transfers

The Legislature also passed a
number of bills making it easier to
transfer from one retirement system
to another. Many employees have
experienced hardship in the past
when transferring from one juris-

took steps to aid such workers.

There'll Be a
55-Year Bill Yet!

HAT THE 55-year retirement bill lost out is one of the

sadder facts of the legislative sion just ended in
Albany. Employees who belong to the State Retirement
System, need not, however, feel a sense of defeat. They
made many other gatns in retirement matters, some of
them quite important. And the very fact that the 55-year
bill came so close to passage is a good omen for its chances
next year. If the bill had been allowed to come out of
committee for a straight vote of the legislators, it probably
would have won. The employees and their representatives
put up a strong battle to get this measure enacted; and the
defeat came—at the last minute—as a result of what seems
to have been political motivations entirely beyond the con-
trol of the public workers.

The LEADER predicts ther
ment law on the books next year.

John P. Crane—
A Man and a Fighter

HERE is much that can be said about the unprece-

dented rally which New York City’s firemen put on
in Madison Square Garden last Wednesday.

The LEADER wants to say one thing, however, which
underlies that unique event.

It showed that John P. Crane

It showed that he and the other leaders of New York
City’s firemen aren’t afraid to stand up to a situation;
don’t run away,; don’t hesitate to make their case to the
people in every effective way open to them; and have
the prestige to win over citizens of outstanding distine-
tion to their cause.

Mr. Crane, a:

usual ability.

With the Madison Square Garden rally he has put
himself on record. The City knows where he stands—
on the side of clean, progressive civil service; on the side
of security for the man in a public job,

Mount Vernon, held the $12,000-
a-year job of County Sheriff,
With only one year of his 3-year
term served, he died suddenly at
his desk, less than 10 minutes
after talking to his wife. Heart

attack. Age 52.

Jockeying for the Job

Now there’s heavy political
jockeying to get the job, Among
those surging forward in the race:

Mayor William Hussey of Mount
Vernon; John E. Toucher, County
Jail Warden, also of Mount Ver-
non; Fred Ruscoe, Under-Sher-
iff, from northern Westchester;
Ray Hamilton, who hails from
Rye, and holds the post of as-
sistant to the County GOP chair-
man; Harold Mercer, former
County Clerk (unlikely to get the
nod); present County Clerk Rob-
ert_J. Pield of Peekskill.

Field, whose term expires this
year, isn’t quite certain where to
move, He'd like to hang on to
his present post, but there's a
tradition in Westchester that the
County Clerk doesn't serve for
more than two terms, and this is
Field‘s second,

Energetic Margaret McGee, As-
sistant County Clerk, who has
really rin the office for many
year's, would dearly love to move
into the top spot. She's been en-
dorsed for it by the Business &
Professional Women’s Club. But
if Field can snag the nomination
again despite the unwritten no-
third term ban, Margaret will
have to remain where she is. If
Field can wangle the Sheriff ap-
pointment, then Margaret will
Move up.

Appointment by Governor
The replacement of Ehrbar is
by appointment of the Governor.
Then the appointee must run in
November to retain the job.
Whoevg is appointed, however,
is certain of election in this heav-
ily Republican bailiwick.
Meanwhile, Westchester GOP
chief Livingston Platt is basking
in Florida, undisturbed by the
maneuverings of his underlings.

Gerlach to Run
Another significant _ political
event is shaping up. Popular
“Uncle” Herbert Gerlach, County
is preparing to run
again for a third term.

County Clerk Field is saying:
“If Gerlach runs for a third term,
then I can run for a third term.”
But the County Executive post,
established in 1941, is unburdened
by the no-third term tradition |
which haunts the County Clerk |
and the Sheriff positions, Only
one other man, before Gerlach,
has held the title, former Judge
William Bleakley, who is one of
the truly formidable GOP powers
in the State. No Republican in
the County is presently even in
the running against Gerlach;
Platt is known to be in his cor-
ner; so is Bleakley, The prob-
ability of his retaining the pos!
tion is strong.

Gerlach as State-Wide Possibility
Gerlach, now 58, thus becomes
a man to watch as a possibility for
an important place on the GOP
State-wide ticket in 1950, if there
should be a vacancy. The reason-
ing is this:

Governor Dewey is in a mood
to heal the internal rift which
engulfed his party during the
recently-ended legislative session,
He has acquiesced to the choice of
Walter B. Mahoney, of Erie Coun-
ty, who fought him strongly on
the budget, as chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee. Now
he must do something about West~
chester, the oniy other county
which “ganged up's on the Goy-
ernor in that budget fight,

What would be more natural
than to-seek as a candidate on
the State-wide ticket a man who
was uninvolved in the budget
machinations, but who stands well

and with the poli-

Gerlach fits that

framework, If Gerlach goes on
the State ticket, Assemblyman
Malcolm Wilson might then moye
to the County Executive Post.

(In the matter of public employee
relations, Gerlach has attempted
to develop the same kind of ap-
proach that Dewey has often pro-
fessed to favor.)

On the Democratic

The Democrats in Westchester
are showing some interesting ac-
tivity, although they're far from
being important in county mat-
ters, Peekskill has been going
Democrat in about half of the

ide

Jrecent elections, And Stanley
{Church, Democratic Mayor of
|New Rochelle, is demonstrating a
political acumen that has some

destined to go places. He wants a
spot on the Democratic State
ticket, but Democrat poobahs are
Saying: “O,K., you’ve proved your-
self in New Rochelle. Now prove
yourself in Westchester.” That's
a tough assignment.

Friends of

Civil Service:
The Windup

WELL, here's the windup.

The number of individuals nom-
inated as friends of civil “service
has pyramided week by week. In the
last few days, great volums of post-
cards, letters and petitions came to
the Don't Repeat This desk. Nom-
inations have been coming in since
this column set out to find, some
two months ago, whom civil service
employees consider their friends,

Two recent events strongly in-
fluenced the voting in this informal
Poll—the Mitchell vet preference bill
and the DeMarco law case. The first
of these events put State Senator
MacNeil Mitchell up to first place
and kept him there, It reflected the
public esteem which followed when
he “stuck with”
preference bill In the face of for-
midable opposition until its success-
ful conclusion, The names of Goy-
ernor Dewey and Democratic ‘State
Chairman Paul F, Fitzpatrick sprint-
ed upward among the first ten when
they announced their support of
that vet preférence measure. ‘The
second event—the winning of a case
that could mean up to $4,000,000 to
approximately 8,000 State employees
—precipitated the name of attor-
ney John T, DeGraff among the
first flve. Mr. DeGraff handled that
case without fee.

‘The others among the first ten are
all well known for their activities
in behalf of civil service employees.
Up to the last minute, great num-
bers of votes and petitions kept
rolling in for NYC Treasurer, Spen-
cer C. Young.

Close Voting
The voting was so close in many
cases that a change of one nomina-

134 Vet Aids |
Get Call for
State Jobs

ALBANY, April 4—Letters to]
“all candidates who can possibiy |
be reached” on the newly estab-
lshed veteran counselor lists went
out last week, according to in-
formation reaching The LEADER.

A spokesman for the State Diy-
ision of Veterans Affairs says can-
didates are being canvassed to find |
out preference in location, if ap- |
pointment js offered, and other
questions affecting certification of
the lists.

Interviews Next

The next step, the division says,
will be to arrange for interviews
of candidates with the division's
area directors. At this time, it
is believed 134 counselor positions
and 8 senior counselor positions
are to be filled permanently.

The lists are set up by judicial
districts with the exception of Al-
bany, seat of the State govern-
ment, where a statewide list is
used.

The Appellate Division, Third
Department, in a memorandum
opinion, vacated the stay which re-
strained the State Civil Service
Commission from making certi-
fications to the positions of State
Veteran Counselor and Senior
Veteran Counselor, Division of
Veterans Affairs.

Samuel Resnicoff of NYC, is
counsel for the group that orig-
inally obtained a stay which re-
strained the Commission in March
1948, After Justice Elsworth va-
cated the stay and dismissed the
petition, Mr. Resnicoff, after oral
argument, obtained a stay from
the Presiding Justice of the Ap-
pellate Division in Albany, pend-
ing argument of the appeal be-|
fore the Appellate Division. In|
its memorandum opinion, the
court held: |

|
|

“No impelling reason has been
shown upon the argument for a
continuation of the stay, Stay
vacated.”

No decision has as yet been
rendered by the Appeliate Div-
ision on the merits of the appeal.
According to Mr. Resnicoff, the
vacating of the stay before a de-
cision on the merits is. very un-
usual.

If the decision is against pet-
itioners, an application for a stay
will be made to the Co of
Appeals.

Handman Draws Bill

One year ago when the oath
was first taken, it was considered
by Professor Sterling D, Spero,
of NYU, as a signal step towards
the winning of a true merit sys-
tem of promotion in the postal
service. In a ‘book -Professor
Spero commended the action of
the New York Postal Clerks.

It wastannounced at the in-
stallation that a new promotion
bill written by national vice-presi-
dent Ephraim Handman would
soon be presented to one of the
NYC Congressmen for sponsorship.

At the installations was Con-
gressman George P. Miller, of

California, a member of the House
Post Office and Civil Service Com-

mittee. He is sponsoring a bill
to give veterans of World War II
credit for time spent in the armed
services in computation of pay.
He is also sponsoring bills to in-
crease present postal salaries by
$650 to restore the 1939 purchas-
ing power, Also present were rep-
resentatives of the National Fed-
eration of Post Office Clerks,

How'd You Like
To Take a Test
Once a Month?

ALBANY, April 4 — Here's a
group of State employees who not
only take an examination to qual-
ify for their job, but take a.test

-— |every month after their appoint-

ment,
Since the first of the year,

'|the Legal-Research and Training

unit of the State Division of

| Veterans Affairs has been giving

State veteran counselors
monthly quiz.

Results of the quiz aren’t pub-
lished or even kept under an em-
ployee’s name. Actually, the div-
ision explains, its quizzes are just
to keep the counselors on their
toes and familiar with the mater-
ial distributed to them each month.

In the Market
For a Used Car?

ALBANY, April 4—If you are
in the market for a used car,
New York State will sell you one
of 23 used automobiles, but the
State assumes no_ responsibility
whatsoever as to the mechanical
condition or mileage of the cars,

The State cars, which are to be
sold “as is’ where is,” may be
seen at the State Garage, 230
Hamilton Street, Albany. Offers,
said E, Haines, manager, will be
received up until 10 a.m. April 12,
They include Buicks, Chryslers,
Fords, Chevrolets and other makes,

Employed as a Chief Canal Lock
Operator in the Department of
Public Works, Mr, Heilbronn de-
veloped and installed an ingenious
device which makes it impossible
for the valves to be closed while
the gates are still open. Should
the valves be closed before the
gates, there is the danger of the
gates being slammed thus causing
damage to the lock operating
machinery.

Parkchester Liquor Store Opened by War Hero

Milton Kornfeld, 29-year-old
war hero, has just opened Crown

[ | Liquors at 1439 Olmstead Avenue,

half a block from the southeast
edge of Parkchester and a block
from the Castle Hill Station on
the IRT subway line,

“We guarantee the very best in
service, including prompt free five-
minute delivery on any order,
whether it be the smallest order
or a case,” said Mr, Kornfeld. “We
will be open from 9 a.m. to mid-
night, and of course we have the
widest variety of wines and, lquors
to_meet every need.”

Kornfeld, who holds the Purple
Heart and other decorations, lost

a leg early in 1945 while fighting
with Merrili's Marauders for con-
trol of the Burma Road, A Plat-
oon Sergeant, he was hit by a
shell while directing his men from
an observation point.

Kornfeld has long been active
in bettering conditions for his
fellow-amputees. For several
months prior to his obtaining a
license to conduct a package store,
he lobbied in Congress for cars
for amputees so that they could
get mobility necessary for en-
gaging in normal business pursuits.

Kornfeld asked that his neigh-
bors, who have helped him to get
started, be TuRAE ES

RELL EMT

To Cover in Employees
With Five Years Service

President Truman is expected to;
act soon on a proposed executive
order which would cover into the
permament class those Federal em-
ployees who have been continuously
employed for a sufficient period to
bring them within the precedent set
by the Ramspeck act after the|

‘World War I, The National Associa-
tion of Employees of Internal Rev-
enue is striving to have the order
include all those with not less than
five years of such service, as against
the ‘proposals of others that the
reckoning date be March 15, 1942,
‘The question already has been dis-
cussed with President Truman's clvil |

service representative at the White
House.
Wide Appeal Asked

Joseph J. Lerner, president of the
Local 655 of the American Federa-
tion of Government Employees, em-
phasized that the project for broader
inclusion is of vital importance to
employees in every Collector's office
who hold a war service rating
Speaking of the March 15, 1942, date,
he said:

“This would exclude all those who
have served meritoriously for five
years, who desperately need their
jobs.”

In a letter to President Truman
he said chat these employees are
thoroughly trained in the technical

processes and have proved their
value to the government.

“The Government should discard
the fiction,” he wrote, “that these
employees are temporary, By hard
work during many years of employ-
ment they have earned the right to
permanent employment.”

The proposed five-year clause
would be generally effective, if in-
cluded in the executive order, and
not refeqto any one class of U. 8.
workers. Therefore the argument
has been made that all organiza-
tions should get behind this move-
ment, especially as all of them have
considerable membership from
among the employees who otherwise
would be excluded.

Postal Alliance Votes
3-Point Reform Program

By ANNA LEE KRAM

By cooperating closely with civio
groups, the N¥C Branch of the Na-
tlonal Alliance of Postal Employees |
hopes to put more punch into its
program for eqitlity of opportunity
in the postal service for Negro em-
ployees,

To this end, a newly-formed ad-
visory committee met at 106 West
55th Street last week, Headed by El-
mer F, Armstead, of the Branch
Board of Di , the committee
includes representatives from the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, the
National Urban League, and
New York State Commission Against

imination as well as other civic
nizations.

Branch’s three-point pro-
gram calls for: 1) strict. obser
ance of seniority proper on-the-
job training and 3) more equitable
promotions within — supervisory

des.

Of a total of 1,309 supervisory em- |
ployees in NYC post offices, it was|

the |G

declared, only 51 are Negroes.
The Branch’s three-point program
number is way out of proportion
with the total number of Negroes
employed, And the higher the grade
—and salary—the lower the number
of Negroes serving in it, right up
through top supervisory positions
“We are seeking within the New
York Post Offices an equality of op-
portunity based primarily upon mer-
it, ability and sentority, as laid down
in the Postmaster General's man-
ostmasters throughout the
-y," said Mr, Armstead,
