CSEA Sponsers Bill Calling for 10% Pay Rise |
And Continuainee of 1951 Salary Formula;

Budget Men Say Failure to Include $300
Minimum in State’ s Bill Is 'No Mistake’

New Pay Scales
‘Apply to All
‘As of Apr. 1,1952

ALBANY, Feb. 11—The follow-
Ing statement has been issued by
J. Edward Conway, President of
the State Civil Service Commis-

sion:
“Tt has been reported that the
proposed additional emergency

compensation of six per cent for
State employees will not apply to
employ: hired after April 1, 1952.
The Civil Service Commission ts
Girectly concerned with this re-
port because of the adverse effect
it might have on recrutting pros-
peetive candidates for the State
Bervice

“All employees of the State ap-
pointed on or after April 1 will
be treated in the same fashion as
other similarly situated employees
appointed prior to that date. The
bill proposing payment of addi-
tional emergency comensatian
reads in part as follows:

“Persons who enter the State
Bervico during the fiscal year com-
mencing April first, nineteen
hundred fifty-two shall be sp-
Pointed at the compensation to
which they would be entitied if
this act had not been enacted,
but such persons, subject to the
Provisions of this act, shall be
entitied to the emergency compen-
sation a8 provided by this act,

“If the bill ts enacted, it will
mean that an employee appointed
after April 1 will receive the base
salary for his position plus any
emergency compensation contin-
ued by the Legislature, plus the
additional six per cent.”

State-Wide Drive
Planned to Win
Higher Figure

ALBANY, Feb. 11—The Civil
Service Employees Association has
sponsored bills in the State Legis-
lature designed to carry over last
year's emergency pay increases
in their entirety and to euarantee
an additional 10 per cent increase
over base pay or the year begin-
ning April 1, 1952,

The bills were dropped in the
Senate hopper by Seymour Halp-
ern, of Queens.

The first measure calls for
emergency compensation at the
rate of 12% per cent on the first
$2,000, 10 per cent on pay from
$2,000 to $4,000, and 74 per cent
on all income above $4,000, ‘The
bill carries a minimum of $300 and
& maximum of $1,000,

‘This is the mensure now in ef-
fect and the legislation, if passed,
would carry over the same pro-
gram for another year.

The second CSEA bill intro-
duced by Senator Halpern calls for
& straight 10 per cent increase in
base pay for all employees, with a
top limit of $1,000,

Both bills apply to all State em-
ployees except those of the Legis-
lature and the Judiciary, Custom
has been to introduce a separate
measure to cover court attendants
and others not now included,

Active Campaign Under Way

An active campaign to win sup-
port for the Association-sponsored
bills is being undertaken through-
out the State,

Assemblyman Fred Preller in-
troductd the $300 minimum com-

panion bill to Senator Halpern's;

Assemblyman Orin 8, Wilcox in-
troduced the companion bill call-
ing for the 10 per cent pay in-
crease.

The administration bills, which
the Associaton rejected, call for
aix per cent increase over base
pay, with a continuance of Inst
year’s 12% per cent, 10 per cent,
and 7% per cent formula. The ad-
ministration’s proposals carry no
minimum,

The Association feels that a 10
per cent increase, rather than the
administration's 6 per cent, is an
irreducible minimum increase,
and points out that the cost of
living index has already risen an
additional 3 per cent since last
October.

State Employees
Credit Union
Sets Dividend

Members of the New York State
Employees Federal Credit Union
at their annual meeting held at
80 Centre Street heard ® report
of another successfuleyear of op~
erations and voted to continue
the dividend rate of 3 per cent on
shares,

The credit union's annual re-
port presented at the mesting
showed total shares of $164,641, a
new high figure. Loans amounted
to $114,808 with $66,600 surplus
funds currently available for the
making of additional loans to
State employees in the metropoli-
tan area.

fices in Room 900 at 80 Centre

$300 Minimum,
Omitted by State,

Deemed a ‘Must’

ALBANY, Peb, 11 — Introduc-
tion of bills carrying over last
year’s emergency compensation
minus the $300 minimum guaran-
tee was "no mistake,” according
to administration leaders in Al-
bany.

Representatives of the Division
of the Budget and « spokesman
for Senator Walter Mahoney, who
introduced the measures, pointed
out that two bills were intro-
duced — one to carry over Jast
year’s emergency increase and a
second to bring an additional six
per cent emergency increase on
top of base pay.

Graduated Scale

Since the 1951 measure provided
for a graduated scale of percent-
age increases based on earnings,
the $300 minimum was included to
guarantee at least that much of
® raise in the lower brackets,

However, administration leaders
explained, when this year's ad-
ditional six per cent is added to
last year's, even the lowest brack-
ets will receive an 18% per cont
increase above the base wage.
Since this works out to more than
$300 for everyone, these leaders
feel the need no longer exists to
legislate that minimum,

Answering charges that failure
to carry over the old guarantes
was some sort of surprise deal, a
spokesman for the Budget Divis-
fon told The LEADER: “It was no
such thing,”

“The Civil Service Employees
Association negotiators,” he con~
tinued, “refused to consider an
increase as low as six per cent,
so they had no part in drawing
up the legislation. We explained
that we had just so much money
for an increase—$10,500,000, to be
exact—and the six per cent figure
uses this up,”

Association View
Jesse B. McParland, president

of the Civil Service Employees
Association, had made the follow~-
ing statement on the minimum:

Lowest Paid - Hardest Hit

“There are employees in the
Jower grades who are being de~«
Drived of such sums as $70.40 un=
der the present bill as introduced
by the administration. This also
means that after four years of
service in the lower grades, an
employee only gains an increase
of 24 cents a year if the elimina~
tion of the $300 minimum remains
as an established fact. The Assocl~
ation, in drafting this bill to in«
corporate the $300 minimum
which was in last year's emerg-
eney increase, is urging its pass-
age to bring about successful re-
cruiting of competent personne! in
the lower grades for State depart-
ments.”

Reform of
Civil Service

Set-Up Asked

The Civil Service Reform As
sociatidn asks that the State Civil
Service Commission should be re-
organized, with three Commis-~
sioners appointed on a non-polit~
ical basis, to determine personnel
policies, conduct investigations,
hear appeals and assume other
broad responsibilities. They would
be paid on » per diem basis, plus
expenses.

Appointments Too Political

Speaking of the present bilpam
tisan type of Commission, the As-
sociation says: “Too often Com-
missioners have been selected pri-
marily because of their political
connections and not their inter-
est in or knowledge of civil serv-
ice.” The Reform Association sent
this recommendation to the Prel-
Jer Commission, which is working
on civil service law reform.

A personnel director would be
the administrative officer of the
Civil Service Department, and the

Commission would have no au-
thority over administartion.

Some of the hie ye orgie do
not have the requ tw
of private practice required for
competing in the open-competi-
tive exam. They says that attor-
neys, junior attorneya and law
assistants frequently perform the
same duties, hence their work
performance as law assistants
and junior attorneys entitle them
to compete for the higher jobs.

Some law assistants say that
they were promised an
upward reallocation, because of
the higher duties they perform,

it | but have been told by an official

that, though he favors the project,
his hands are tied.

The attorney and head Jaw
clerk jobs pays 4.710 to $5,774,
at start and after five annual in-
crements, The filing fee ts $4.
The list from which promotions
will be made will expire in two

mental list is established, which-
ever comes sooner.

Preference promotions will be
in this order: departmental elig-
idles tn the unit: those in a de~-
partment and finally, all eligibles
on the Interdepartmental lst.

Probationary Period

‘There will be a three-months
Probationary term. Promotees may
fo back to their former job, which
will be held open for them mean-
while, if they prefer to go back,
or are found not suitable for the
Promotion Job.

The eligible titles for attorney

Three months’ permanent com-
petitive service in the title prior

ceedings on appeal by an em~

NYC departments and agencies,

President Watson wrote that the
law is inadequate because it does
not empower the Commission to
reverse a department decision, He
said that in one case involving @
motorman and a conductor a@
hearing before the Board failed to
establish either innocence or guilt,
‘The Commission, added the Presi-
dent, therefore had to affirm the
guilt of the accused parties, and
exercised its maximum power of
modifying the penalty,

Wants No Exceptions

“While the Commission will not
oppose an amendment which de-
privea it completely of jurisdiction
to review disciplinary proceedings
from whatever department they
emanate," wrote Mr. Watson, “it
does vigorously oppose a proposed
amendment which will single out
some one department and exempt
it from the purview of the sta-
tute.”

ordinary death benefit is inade-

: this is the result of a care-
study, including examination

of other retirement systems, made
the Pension Committee of the

vil Service Employees Associa~

in the event

retired on ac-
count of age. While this does not
measure the risk of an individual

as compared with attaining re-~
tirement, the figures illustrate the
importance of the death benefits in
the over-all picture, With the de-
crease in the purchasing power of
the dollar, income taxes, ete, the
average state employee ts ‘eing
forced to rely to ® greater extent
on the death benefits provided
under the retirement system,
There should be some reasonable
relationship between the amount
of Pension contributions by
the state up to the time of death
and the desth benefit granted.
Otherwise, there is a wide dis-
parity between the value of the

nefits paid to a member who
happens to die shortly prior to age
55 or 60 as compared with the
value of pension benefits paid to
® member who survives to such
age and retires.

In Table I which follows, the
amounts of the annual pension

(B) It is an accepted rule that
the amount of group life insur-

Ployee’s pension plan,

There are many large employers
throughout the country which pro-
vide a death benefit of such size,
Some companies provide more, as
for instance the Prudential Insur-
ance Company which furnishes

ts ust

non-contributory group life

surance for all employees equal to
three years’ salary. Many current
bargaining agreements with em~-
ployee representatives nat only call
for liberal death benefits but in
addition include various accident
and health and hospitalisation

ooverages.

were between 800 to 900
deaths by active members in the

ment System as compared with

since it is easily divisible) and to
have elected the option of per-
missive retirement at age 55.
Table 2 which follows is based
upon the figures in Table I it
expresses the amount of the pen-
sion reserve in multiples of the
ordinary death benefit. Thus,
where the
twenty years and elects to retire
at age 60, the pension reserve at

lly

a5 compared with the ordinary
death benefit of $2,100 or 3.3 times
the ordinary death benefit

Since an investigation shows
that af the 800 to 900 deaths dur-
ing the 1950-1961 fiscal year, in-
volving total death payments of
around $1,250,000 some 600 to 700
deaths ocourred between ages 50 to
‘10 and 400 to 500 deaths occurred
where the member had twelve
years or more of service, st is quite
evident that on the average the
pension reserve at the time of

death was probably 245 times the |/

such deaths to the extent of about
1% times the ordinary death pa:
ment of $1,250,000 or nearly $2,-
,000. The answer can be made
that the pension reserves released
on deaths are needed in that they
are already discounted in deter-
mining the annual contributions
by the State to the Retirement
System. This answer is technically
correct, However, the present
sacrifice by the members who die
is quite evident, particularly when
it means that the largest forfel-
tures arise on account of the older
employees with the longest period
of service. The additional cost of
increasing the maximum ordinary
death benefit from six months to
one year would cost less than
$1,000,000 or about % per cent
of payroll, which would be less
than the forfeitures now being
realized,

It is dstimated that the annual
current cost of increasing the or-
dinary death benefit to one year
(graded for less than twelve years
of service) would be about one-
half of 1 per cent of payroll or
less, than one million dollars,

This Committee urges that im-
mediate consideration be given to
the foregoing recommendations,

Manhattan Stale Hospital

THE SECOND JUBILEE (Sil-
Yor) recognizing 25 years of serv-
gee and the awarding of pins was
held at Manhattan State Hos-
Pitel Amusement Hall on Janu-
ary 30. About 350 persons at-
tended, and all agreed it was

wonderful,

Dr, John H. Travis, senior di-
rector, awarded the pins, stating
that he took “great delight in
Joiuing the Department of Mental
Hygiene on this occasion in pay-
ing tribute to those who have
eared for the mentally sick, di-
rectly or indirectly, so honorably
and so well for 25 years or more.”

The following employees were
honored:

Of special interest to employees
is the bill for a 40-hour 5-day
week Introduced by James A. Fitu~
patrick In the Assembly, This
would provide overtime at time-
and-a-half rates for excess over
40 hours, The overtime pay un-
der the bill would be included in
pension compensation, but would
not be considered salary for other
purpases. Employees working less
than 40 hours a week now would
vot be adversely affected by the
bill,

Watching the administration
advance “inadequate and unreal-
intic” offers in reply to the CSEA
efforts for a better increase, is
causing many hundreds of em-
ployees to write their legisiative
lenders. State employees should
not be compelled to bear the
brunt of inflation more heavily
than other seements of the popu-
lation... .

Insurance
Underwriters
Case Delayed

Argument in the case of State
Insurance Fund underwriters seek-
ing an upward reallocation of
grade, with the additional pay,
Was postponed last week in New
York County Supreme Court un-
til Monday, March 31, Attorney
Menahem Stim, representing the
petitioners, and the State Attor-
ney General's office consented.
The request came from the State.

Senior underwriters and assist-
ant underwriters brought the suit,
‘They charge that the action of
the State Classification and Com-
pensation Appeals Board in deny-
ing thelr appenl, was diserimina-
tory, arbitrary, capricious and
contrary to law, They were not
even given an opportunity before
that Board to present oral arru-
ment, though counsel was present.
they say.

The respondents are the three
State Civil Service Commissioners;
J, Ear! Kelly, director of clussifi-
cation and compensation, whose
denial of the underwriters’ plea
was affirmed by the Appeals
Board; the five members of the
Appeals Board, and the nine Com-
missioners of the State Insurance
Pund. The petitioners work for
the Pund.

Pay Contrasted

The senior underwriters’ peti-
tion ts brought in the name of
James F. Mahony Jr., while that
of the assistant underwriters is in
the name of William A, Johnston.

The petitioners stress that high-
er pay for similar work is granted
not only in private industry but
in State service and the fact that
the Fund affords workmen's com-
Pensation sind disability benefits
insurance to the employees of
more than 60,000 employers of
jJabor tn the State.

Blunt Facts About
Pay Legislation

T is incredible, but State administration leaders blandly
admit that the failure to put a floor under the pay in-

ereases recommended is “no mistake,”

The admission means that on top of a pay raise
measure which is clearly inadequate and unrealistic, the
State is assuring that employees in the lower levels of
eivil service will face a rough deal.

Last year’s pay increase provided a $300 floor, This
meant that the minimum increase for any employee was
that much money. In the new measures introduced by
the administration at this session of the Legislature, the
minimum is omitted. The obvious and generous view, ex-
Pressed by individuals of good will, was that the minimum
had simply been overlooked when the measure was draft-
ed.

Speaking to a LEADER reporter last week, how-
ever, administration officers denied any such guileless im-
Plication. ““‘We meant it,” they said in effect.

These administration leaders make the argument that
even the lowest paid employees receive an 181% per cent
pay increase. What they fail to say is that the 1814 per
cent is not over last year’s salary, but includes the in-
erease which was provided after the negotiations of one
year ago (and those increases were considered inadequate
even then). If last year’s increase had been frozen in
as part of base pay, the new increase for some of the
low-category positions would look a lot closer to 2 per
cent.

80c A Week Before Deductions

The actual new increases for the lower-paid employees
amounts to as little as 80 cents a week, before deductions,
By another way of figuring it comes out that a G-2 em-
ployee would have to work four years before coming out
ahead of the game by 24 cents a week,

That's why it was so hard to believe that the State
had deliberately removed the minimum,

The action is shortsighted for another reason. Re-
eruiting of competent individuals is becoming progres-
sively more difficult, A recent survey shows that nearly
10 per cent of State employees are provisionals, The new
6-per-cent-no-minimum proposal is going to make the
problem of finding personnel even more difficult.

‘The administration's measure is defective in amount
of increase and was therefore rejected by employee rep-

What
Employees
Should Know

Sy THEODORE BECKER

How Not to Defend Yourself

At a Removal Hearing

IF YOU were up on charges
of insubordination and were given
a bearing on such charges, would
so aiid what to do at this hear-
ing’

innocent and that you were the
victim of ® conspiracy to effect
your discharge. Would you boycott
the hearing? If you attended,
‘would you decline to defend your-
self? Tf you did each or both
would you then go to court to
upset your resultant distnissal? If
you went to court, what would
be your chances of obtaining re-
instatement?

& recent court case involving a
hospital attendant who had been
removed from his job after a hear-
ing on charges. He sued to set
aside the determination of the
Senior Director of Manhattan
‘State Hospital and to obtain rein-
statement to his former job.
Voluntarily Granted a Hearing
It appears from the opinion of
the Supreme Court in New York
County, where the case was heard,
that the charges against the hos-
pital attendant were substantial,
not trival, and constituted a form
of insubordination, Though not
required to do so under Civil
Service Law section 22, the instt-
tution head granted the employee
® full hearing at which the charg-
ea were thoroughly investigated.
if the employee had been an hon-
orably discharged war veteran or
an exempt volunteer fireman, he
would have been entitled to the
hearing a5 a matter of right,
But the employee apparently
failed to take advantage of the
opportunities afforded by the
hearing, granted under our law
only as = reward for the special
military or civilian service re-
ferred to, He stayed away from
one session of the hearing, At the
second session he “steadfastly re-
mained silent and refused to make
any statement, in contradiction
or extenuation or otherwise.”
Punishment Not Reviewable

In view of this wholly inade-
quate defense against the charges,
it is small wonder that the Court
declared that the determination
of the Senior Director finding the
employee guilty “is obviously be-
yond the reach of judical inter-
ference.” Whether the charges, if
established, justified dismissal
rather than less severe discipline
was « matter which the Court
felt, rested wholly in the disere-
tion of the Senior Director, as ad-
ministrative head of the institu-
tion, So long as the employee wat
not improperly found guilty, it
was up to the removing officer
to decide how severe the penalty
ahould be,

Apparently, the employee had
contended, in his action, that he
was the victim of a conspiracy
to accomplish ulterior ends in-
volving his remoyal. Aa to this
charge, the Court stated that it
was wholly unsupported and,
therefore, did not raise any issue
of fact that required a trial to
decide, Accordingly, the petition
for reinstatement was dismissed.

pital, 1.9.52 N.¥.LJ, 105 Col, 4,)

resentatives. The absence of a floor is completely inde- Hearing

fensible, because it hits hardest those employees least
able to bear the impact of inflation—the lowest paid
segment,

A State-wide drive is under way for a 10 per cent
increase in place of the administration’s 6 per cent, Leg-
islators have an obligation to examine this new legislation
before stamping an automatic OK on the administration's

measure, Both the administration and the legislators have
an obligation to amend the State’s own bill by including

the $300 minimum again—little enough, we may add.

STREET REPAIR PROGRAMMING RECOMMENDED TO CITIES

CITIES can save motorists‘ time and temper by proper program~
ming of street repair and construction,

The American Public Works Association states that the day-to-
day decisions of public works officials on street repair problems has
a direct bearing on the efficient movement of trafic,

Here are the key questions that public works men must face up
to if they would facilitate safe traffic movement;

(1) Are various city departments permitted to cut the pavement:
at any location any hour of any day they so choose? Or are sewer,
water, gas and other underground work scheduled so that the moves
ment is affected a minimum amount? Are policies in regard to such
matters carefully considered and coordinated with the police and
traffic engineer?

(2) Are streets improved where the demands of traffic or traffic
Potential will justify it or are meager maintenance dollars divided
evenly among councilmanic districts regardless of traffic needs.
(3) Are important streets being Duilt so that they ultimately
can carry traffic from curb to curb? Or are catch basins and gutters
eke A al three or four feet on each side of the street still being
inst
(4) Are traffic safety and future automotive transportation re-
quirements considered in the approving of new sub-divisions? Or
are 1920 policies which permit & maximum return to the sub-divider
and which assure the city official of an adequate supply of traffic
problems for the years to come still being exercised!

MICROWAVE RELAY SYSTEM
CLEARS POLICE COMMUNICATION
STATES as well as cities are rapidjy adopting the new high-
frequency microwave relay system,
Police departments have usually been the first to instal) this ree
Hable and inexpensive means of relaying messages. Principal ad-
vantages of microwave are: relative absence of weather problems;
almost no static and fading; cheap installation costs and practically
no need for upkeep.

‘Typical of use of the new system is in Dayton, O., where signals
are relayed by microwave from downtown police headquarters to a
point on the edge of town, where the maximum police radio fontrol
range ts achieved by rebrondeasting,
Microwave operates in ultra and super-high frequencies. Like
television, it needs to be linked by a@ series of repeater stations, which
pick up the original signal, boost it and send it on to the next station,
There is practically an unlimited supply of communication channels
because the same frequency can be \sed over and over again In
different locations, or in different directions from the same location.
Because a microwave can be beamed with remarkable accuracy in @
50-mil¢ jump, it offers much closer tolerance than short-wave radio
—the only limit to the number of microwave networks using a given
frequency being that each network must be kept @ few miles away
from its nearest neighbor, For this reason, microwave systems do
not have the Interference that {a found in short wave systems.

Maricopa county, Ariz., uses a microwave span extending 26
miles from its sheriff's office to a mountain peak. The system was
designed to add 15 to 40 miles coverage to the county 2-way mobile
radio system because of the advantageous position of the repeater
station atop the peak.
Michigan's state police has installed a ten-channel microwave
network which extends a distance of 16 miles, from the East Lansing
police headquarters to the Dobie Tower.

HIGHWAYS SOUND WARNINGS TO ERRANT MOTORIST

LATEST WORD in highway safety may be a mysterious voice
of warning heard in a motorist’s car as he drives along,

According to the American Public Works Association, these
voices will not be caused by spooks but by a new invention which
makes it possible for warning words such as “danger,” “shoulder,”
and “crossing” to be transmitted from the highway's surface into
& passing vehicle,

It works like this: Special panels are set in the surface of the
paving, similar to sound tracks and having an undulating ypper sur-
face conforming to the shape of ® predetermined sound wave. The
undulations lying above the road surface cause an audible sound to
be heard within the car when it crosses over the panel because the
body of the vehicle acts as a sound box to give an understandable
warning to the driver,

CITIES COMBINE ALL BUILDING INSPECTIONS

AN INCREASING number of cities are consolidating building
inspection duties under one department,

The International City Managers’ Association reports that in
Los Angeles county, each building Inspector is capable of performing
all of the necessary inspections for a new home, This usually involves
about 22 different checks and because of the consolidation of building
inspection duties, one inspector can usually perform a number of
them in one trip.

‘These inspectors are trained and su saperstend by central office
specialists, who also handle the most difficult jobs, in architecture,
structural engineering, plumbing and electricity,

Among other cities who have consolidated inspectional work are

Kansas City, Hartford, Philadelphia and San Diego,

Longer Lunch Period
: Proposed for U. 5S.
| Workers, With a Catch

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11--About
half of the U. S. employees have
funch “hours” of only 30 minutes,
the Senate Civil Service Commit~
tee has found out as the result
of & sampling of the service, Mel-
yin Purvis, former PBI agent, now
a member of the committee's staff,
directed the check-up, Employees
were timed to the second, as to
how long they took for lunch, A
considerable percentage took more
than the allotted 30 minutes, Mr,
Purvis reported.

Now the committee is consider-
ing extending the lunch period to
45 minutes, but making the em-
ployees come in 15 minutes eurlier,
or work 15 minutes later. Commit-
tee statisticians figure that the

| |employees will take the 45 minutes,
\but the minutes above 30 will be

on their own, and the U. 8. will
save more than $1,000,000 a year.

Drape sis of 1948 Fireman
Test will Help Candidates

The questions asked in past

exam, It is therefore advantageous
to the candidates not only to
study the past questions and an-
swers but also to realize the com-

w750 | position of the tests.

‘The most recent regular NYC
fireman written test was held on
May 15, 1948, The pass mark was
10 per cent. The written test and
the physical test counted equaily,

‘tele | Le., each had a weight of 50, They

were the only competitive parts.
‘The same will be true of the new
exam. Other than such competi-
tion, the candidates must pass a
medical test and also character
investigation.

Distribution of Questions

A breakdown of the Inst exam
shows that the number of ques-
tions in the nine classifications
covered were as ollows:

Judgment, 19; comprehension,
19; definitions, 16; physics, 35;
civics, 10; arithmetis, 6; safety,
3; mechanics, 1; criminal law, 1,

‘There were 90 questions, Ordin-
arily, each question would count
1L11 per tent. Sometimes, how-
ever, questions are stricken out.
Such did not happen in the last
written test. for fireman jobs, but
i did in the police sergeant pro-
motion test and some others,

The Commission reserves the
right to approve optional correct
answers, This usually means that
two of the options presented would
be acceptable,

Multiple Choice Questions

‘The last exam was of the multi-
ple choice type. In general, each
question was followed by five
choices, marked A. B, C, D and E.
On the answer sheet the cendi-
date was to print in ink the letter
corresponding to the answer that
he considered most suitable. The
most nearly correct answer, there-
fore, rather than the only correct
answer, ts sought, Such will be the
rule in the new test because of
legal difficulties in connection with
another test which called for the
correct answer and later gave two
optionally correct ones,

Judgment and comprehension
received the most emphasis;
questions fell Into each of these
two groups,

Judgment Questions

Judgment in tested in a variety
of ways, but in the last test it was
closely linked with posstble action
by a fireman in discharging his
duties under circumstances that
required his own decision. To ar-

rive at the decision he bad to ex-
ercise judgment, rather than ap-
ply knowledge, What do you do
when you're hold hose at @
fire and the water fatls? That was
the basis of one of the questions
and iijustrates the type of judg-
ment to be exercised.

‘The judgment questions were,
in general, linked with fire-fight-
ing problems, It was not necessary
actually to have a technical
knowledge of fire-fighting, but the
suppositions were nearly all re-
Inted to such activities. While
fire-fighting aspects are used tllus-
tratively, it would be possible to
ask judgment questions, and other
ones, on & basis independent of
fire-fighting, The examiners like
to give the questions the apprar-
ance of close relationships to
what a fireman has to face,

Comprehension and Definitions

Comprehension has to do with
ability to tell what m statement
means, including interpretation of
orders, A supposed order, given in
full text, was the basis of one of
the comprehension questions.

Closely linked to comprehension
of text is the meaning of Indi-
vidual words, Hence there were
16 definition questions. For in-
stance, @ fireman is nimbie. What
does nimble mean? Five choices
were given. One of the optional
answers was “Quick and Nght in
motion,” Others were: able to per-
form taska of great importance;
fatiqued by heavy work; capable
of learning efficiently; injured
seriously.

Examples of Physics Questions

Physics deals with the science
of matter, It includes chemistry,
some aspects of which arise im-
portantly in fire-fighting and fire-
prevention. Which of five stated
materials is the best conductor of
heat? Which of five alternatives ts
best-as a fire-retarding coating of
wood? A large stream of water
should be used under what clr-
cumstances, in comparison to a
small stream? The physloal effect
of the two different has
to be considered,

relation to
various circumstances, including
the distance of the fireman from
the burning building.

Physics questions of this type
require no actual computation,
but do call for knowledge of the
physical aspects of materials and
material masses.

Other physics questions in the
test were based on three diagrams,
telating to water flow, turning
wheels and a pressure relief device,
No calculations were needed. so

the only calculations in the whole

test were those involved in the
arithmetic questions,
Physics Well Represented

The only other topic under
which as many as 10 questions
were asked was civics. Only one
Question concerned U. 8. civics.
The others had to do with NYC,
Any question concerning govern-
ment comes under the heading of
civics, including which officials
are or are not appointed by the
Mayor of NYC, which official ts

A Glimpse into the Future

Since emergencies arise in
which a ote ag has to use his
head to save Ife and property, the
judgment questions may be ex-
pected to be included tn fireman
tests. Comprehension must also be
given considerable attention, too,
because a fireman must have a
book of rules, keep it up to date,
and know what the rules mean.
Definitions are likely to be in-
cluded again as they are considered
one of the best ways of testing in-
telligence in an exam for which
there are no educational or ox-
perience requirements.

Nothing about world affairs, so-
cial, political or economic trends,
ideologies, and no controversial
questions, were included in the
last test,

The preparation for the new
fireman test therefore may well
start with the questions and an-
swet's In the last test, and include
discussion of subjects covered in
the Official Action Gulde and com-
mercial books on the subject of
fireman exams. ‘The LEADER soon
will start serial publication of ‘the
questions and answers in the last
test, and will follow with addi-

tlonal helps toward passing the
test.

‘The court effort of 58 NYC fire-
men who failed the tough test for
promotion to Heutenant to have
key answers changed proved un-
successful. Supreme Court. Justice
Samuel H. Hofstadter in Now
York County refused to substitute
the Court's judgment for that of
the Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission and said that there had
been no proof that the Commis-
sion had acted capriciously or
arbitrarily,

The politioners wanted four ‘of
nine disputed answers changed,
four others either changed or
eliminated, and one absolutely
eliminated,

92 P. C, Failed Test

The exam attracted $,714 can-
didates, 92 per cent of whom
failed. The Commission was
flooded with protests against the
fontative Key answers, but also
tecetved about 100 letters of praise.

‘The final key modified answers
to two questions and deleted an-
other question because of a typo-
graphical error in the question
Paper, so there were 99 effective
Questions, with 69 acceptable an~
awers required for getting a pass
mark.

“The answers finally chosen by
the Commission and under at-
tack here,” wrote Justice Hofstad~
ter tn an opinion, “have been

tion (B) Nobody but him won a
prize (C) The committee have cast
its ballots.

5, Surprise Is indicated In which |
of the following (A) T went to his
home and found him there (B) I
went to his home, and found him
there,

6, Which is correct (A) Both

bankas the work el rot} eo
verbose, pompous offic a,
ANSW!

1, (C) is_wrong. The choice ilies
between Smith and Jones, It
would be stilted, though techni-
cally correct, for a man to say
to his wife, “It ts 1,” but quite
proper for a distinguished author
to write “It is I."

2. (A) Is correct, Agenda Is sing-
ular, despite its plural origin, while
data is plural, consistent with its
plural origin. This is an arbitrary
inconsistency based on usage.

3, (A) Is wrong, An alibi ts the
defense that one could not have
committed the act because he
wasn't present. Alternatives are
choices and not limited to two.
While “between for two and
among for more than two" ts an
old saying, it's not true. “Choose
between” is correct in the sentence
quoted, for differentiation of sev-
eral and individual objects; among
indicates similarity, where per-
sons or things are considered col-
lectively or vaguely.

4, (B) makes most sense. (A) is
wrong. The biguest bottleneck
would be the one that reduced
Production the least. “Nobody but
him” is good English; but Is treat~
ed as a proposition, like the word
except. “Nobody but he" also is
correct, for but is treated as a
conjunction, The committee state-
ment uses committee a5 a singular
and as a plural noun. It may be
elther, but not both.

5. (B) indicates surprise, (A)
is colorless. The comma in B
‘ives the effect of transition, Le.,

from the commonplace to the un-

xpected. The effect could be
heightened: “I went to his home,
And found him there.”

6, (B) is correct. No comma

should be used after the species

noun official. In (A) “capable of

provided by revised regulations
just issued, the U. 8. Civil Service
Commission has announced,

‘The revisions affecting employ-
ees who transfer are in. accord
with the Commission's policy of
encouraging the transfer of Fed-
eral employees from non-defense
to defense activities.

The regulations were effective

to operate under them at any
time before that date,

Principal Features

Principal features of the re-
vised regulations are the follow-
ing:

1, Pormer indefinite employees
who were separated to go into
the military service may be ap-
| Pointed in any agency without
competitive examination within 90
days of separation from military
service. Before, such employees
generally had to compete in ex-
amination before they could be re-
appointed.

2, Employees who move from
one agency to another while they
ere serving thelr probationary or
trial period will be allowed to
complete this period in the new
agency, Before, they generally had
to start a new 1-year trial period
unless they had completed a pro-
bationary period during some ear-
Mer period of service,

3. Several changes have been
made regarding reemployment
rights, as follows:

a. An employee who has trans-
ferred with reemployment rights
will be able to apply for reem-
ployment in his former agency
when he is faced with a reduction
in his present agency below the
grade of his last permanent posi-
tion in his former agency as well
as when he is about to be separat-
ed by his present agency, Before,
he could apply for reemploy-
ment only when he was faced with
separation,

b. If an employee who has been
granted reemployment rights fails
to apply within 40 days of separa-

reemployment he refuses an offer

a defense agency automatically re~
ceives reemployment rights except
in those few cases where the
Commission rules, on appeal from
the losing agency, that the loss of
the employee would jeopardize an
activity essential to the public
welfare.
Job Rights Protected

4. Jobs of permanent employees
who go into the military service,
or who transfer to another agency
with reemployment rights, will be
protected by @ provision that their
positions may not be filled by pro-
bational (permanent) appoint-
ment. (Only one per cent of Fed-
eral jobs are now being filled by
Probational appointment. )

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

By HERMAN BERNARD
The following installment in The

LEADER's special series discusses
tax reductions particularly appil-

cable to public employees and pen- | only.

sioners. Next week capital gains
will be explained and the following
week the series will end with a»
discussion of Joint returns.
NUMEROUS PROVISIONS of
the U. 8. income tax law are of

special importance to public em-| would

ployees. They relate mostly to re-

ceipts that do not constitute in-
with

come under the Jaw, or to allow-
able deductions from income.
Tax-Exempt By Law

The principal non-income re-
ceipts would be from disability
pensions and awards, If such a
pension or award is tax-exempt it
does not even have to be reported.
If a pension is taxed, it may be
subject to modified tax exemption.

The disability pensions of vet-
erans of the armed forces, known
&s compensation, are tax-exempt
and don't have to be reported; but
the tax-exemption to public em~
ployees, In the civilian branches of
government, are not that broad,

If the disability pension i
granted under a statute providing
for pensions to those disabled in
the performance of the duties of
thelr Jobs, then the disability pen-
sions are tax-exempt, Cases up-
holding this interpretation deal
with NYC and District of Colum-
bia policemen and firemen and
employees of New York State and
its localities, The disability pen-
sion Is in @ strict sense a pen-
sion, meaning that it is wholly
paid by the employer.

Combination Retirement

A combination case may exist
tn which the public employer re-
tires an employee on a@ disability
pension upon which is superim-
posed an annuity, Of course, the
annuity was wholly financed by
the employee, through deductions
from salary, or lump-sum pay-
ments, or both. The part repre-
sented by the annuity may be tak~
en to represent retirement on an
ordinary basis; the part resulting
from disability incurred on the
job as special disability retirement,

Cini disability pension ie tax-free.
The 3 Per Cent Bule

If he took both, the disability

pension remains tax-free, but the

rule of limited taxation would ap-

ply to the annuity part. This rule

is that, regardiess of what the an-

he subtracts from the year's an-
nuity receipts the amount he re-
ports as annuity income, and finds
the amount forgiven. He finally
Teaches the point where the
amount forgiven equals his cost,

Some close questions may arise
whether or not the so-called dis-
bility income ia special disability
income within the meaning of the
tax-exemption provision. For in-
stance, the Public Health Service
of the U. 8. Government retired
some of its employees for dis-
ability but they were not allowed

No tax is to be paid on Federal
compensation awards for disabil-

were from college seniors, From

one college, not even located in
either of the two states, it ap-

Without the required experience,

if they don't have the ex-
perience, they won't fall in the

‘Those to be investigated for loyal-

from accumulated contributions of the member.

Final Average Salary — The average salary of any five consecu-
five years of service while a member of the Retirement System, or
Mladen salary for the last five years of service, whichever is

igher.

Allowable Service — Any paid service rendered at any time to the
Btate or any employer participating in the system.

Member Service — Allowable service after the date the member
became eligible for membership,

Prior Service — Allowable service prior to the date the System
became effective (January 1, 1921), or prior to the date when the

Griffenhagen Hearings Go
Into Third Week, With Same
From Employees

Critici

Public hearing on the Griffen-
hagen NYC eureer-and-salary plan
continued into the second week,
on « three-a-week basis, and prep-
arations were made to continue
them into the third week, with
more public employee groups sche-
duled to be heard,

Public Employeo groups are still
being heard. They will be followed
by civic organizations and finally
by department heads.

Criticisms Repeated

Criticisms of the proposals were
constant, repeating in essence
those which had been Jald down
the first day of the hearings. How-
ever, despite all the criticisms,
there runs through the many
statements two single discernable
threads; (a) a fair classification
end pay plan or the City is de-
sirable; (b) pay raises must come

fast.

‘Typical of the approaches made
by the various employee organi-
mations is the carefully-prepared
document presented by the United
Housing and Building Inspectors
Association. Its president, Timothy
J, Noonan, stated

“The Griffenhagen plan correct-
ly assumes the nec for an
over-all and complete revision of
the classification and pay struc-
ture. The plan's proposed revision,
however, is too often more ap-
Parent than real.

Major Defects

Mr, Noonan cited four “major
defects” as seen by his organiza-
tion: *

1, The plan fails to correct long-
standing injustices suffered by
yeteran employees In the depart-
ment,

2, The pay scales established
for the various classes in the
Housing & Building services are
below those of private industry.

3. It betrays an “amazing lack
of understanding” of the needs
and requirements of the depart-
ment.

Present Pay Attacked

The Inspectors Association, as
had all other employee groups ap-
pearing before the Formal Hea:
ing Board, strongly attacked pres-
fd rates of pay in the City Sery-
en.

While documenting their critic-
fama, the Inspectors said:

“We realize that no plan can
be perfect. We know that much
must depend upon administra-
tion. We believe that the urgency
of immediate revision of the pay
and classification. structure of ss:
City demands that the plan to
be adopted reflect the practical
85 well as the ideal. We ask that

the plan be reasonable, logical and
intelligible to the City employee
whose needs and worth are equal
to those of the private employee,
but whose bargaining powers
thruogh collective action are ser-
jously restricted... .”

Presiding at the hearings tn
Thomas Toszi, a member of the
Mayor's Committee on Manage-
ment Survey. Sitting with him are
Dr. Luther Gullick, executive di-
rector of the Committee; and John
Carty, of the Budget Office. Other
members of tie Committee have
rat in from time to time, including
Morris Tlushewitz, of the CIO;
James C. Quinn, of the APL;
George Hallett of the Citizens
Union; and Abe Beame, Deputy
Budget Director.

Bill for 18 Days’ State
Sick Leave Introduced

ALBANY, Feb. 11
Minority Leader Elmer Quian (D.
NYC) sald that he favored tn-
Creasing pensions to retired State
employees and rats! the salaries
of prevent State workers

“T have always stood for main-
taining the pay level of our
lic employees at place compar-
able to prevailing rates in outaide
Industry,” Senator Quinn sald,
“and that opinion has not changed
ot all

“If a bil to guarantee @ proper

Senate | gets to the floor of the Senate, I
| will support it,”

Senator Halpern and Assembiy-

jman Rabin introduced companion

bills to give employees sick leave
with pay at rate of 18 work days
® year, The bills would main-
tain the cumulative aspect of

b-|the present law to a maximum of
| 150 days. Legislative observers in-

dicated strong sentiment smong
lawmakers for the measure on the
ground that most employers tn
Private industry offer @ compar-
able number of days sick leave

minimum for our retired workers’ for employees.

its steady upward climb and is now
im full possession of 2nd place.
The Medics did this by winning
three points from an Underwriting
team, which provided plenty of
opposition in winning team figh
game with a score of 860 in the
first game.

Some of the fcllows had pretty
nice averages for the evening's
bowling. Epstein of Payroll
helped his team win three points
with his ovoning’s average of 179.
Bill Price of Accounts did his part
in his team’s four point victory
by bowling a 3 game average of
177.

At,the end of the evening's ball
throwing activity the team stand-
ings were as follows:

Team
Orphans
Medical
Personnel
Claims Soph
Accounts
Claims Sr.
Payroll
Safety
Underwriters
Policyholders

‘Team highs for the second and

third games go to Payroll with
867 and Accounts with 850, Re-
computation of the scores for the
January 22nd meeting showed up
an error in crediting the Medical
team with team high game of 621
jin the second game that evening,
That prize really wemt to the Un-
derwriting team whose score was
832, Ahd when the Bowling dinner
rolls round every one of these
team highs will be remembered
and prizes for them will be award-
ed.

The Actuarial Department rep-
resentative reports that two new
members have joined the chapter,
They are Ted Altrowitz and Ben
Meltzer, The chapter bids them
