requested that they be permitted
to continue in employment for @

the City’s preferred list for auto
engineman but he doesn’t know
how long that may take to get
him placed. All he knows is that
a considerable number of workers
in Queens, laid off as avto engine-
man, are now working as laborers
while their auto engineman pre-
ferred list rights are protected.
“Why couldn't I do the same?”
he inquires.
Willing to Take It
Mr. Abamonte was asked, the
other day, whether he would con-
sider taking a job as an auto lawn
mower operator at considerably
less than he was receiving. But
this is outside his line and, more-
over, he doubts whether he could
support his family on the pay that
goes with that sort of work. Next
January, he was to be due for an-
other increment rise which would
bring his salary to $1,860.
“Thad a hard enough time
working as a laborer for $1,500 a
year when the job called for no
less than $1,740," he tells you,
“put I held on till I got the $1,740.
I'm willing to take it on the chin
again as a laborer, if they'll only
let me.”

Practical Nurses
Hold Meeting
An open meeting of the Prac:

was held on Monday evening,

spite the fact that many of these
investigators have been working
for the City for 20 years and
more, despite the fact that the
shock of the dismissals would
have deep repercussions upon all
City employees.
Background
‘The decision of the administra-
tion, sudden as it was, followed
upon the backwash of a Court of
Appeals decision in the Petrocelli
vs. McGoldrick case last April.
At that time, the highest court
in the State held that every per
annum competitive city worker in
de-
the ungraded class whose ap-
pointment salary amounted to
$1,800 per year or less was en-
titled to four annual increments
of $120 each, beginning July 1,
1937. as provided by the McCarthy
Increment Law. Moreover, the
court pointed out each employee
was entitled to back pay called
for by such increments as long as
the individual signed payrolls un-
der protest.
Came the city with its tirade:
no ungraded employee should be
entitled to any increment wha
ver which serves to lift said
ary above $2,280 per year. So the
-of individuals b
city paid no increments of the
kind, Nettled, apparently, by the
Court of Appeals verdict, the city
struck back ruthlessly
This, despite the fact that even
at that time, The LEADER un-
derstands, Councilman Joseph T,
Sharkey was seeking to work out
an amendment to the Increment
Law with Councilman William M,
McCarthy that might have avert-
ed the current blowup.

vestigators were reclassified in

Park Officials Deny
Plan to Employ Aliens
A rumor to the effect that an
order directing Queens district
foremen in the Park Department
are to prepare for the assignment
of 850 aliens for maintenance
work was denied by offic
The order, in the form of a
memorandum signed with the
initials S.M.W., instructed the
district foremen to set up pro-
jects in parks on which the aliens
could work,
James J. Mallen, borough di-
rector in Queens, stated that he
knew nothing of the order
George EB, Spargo, executive of-
ficer of the Park Department,
also denied knowledge of the
existence of the memorandum.
“If anyone sent out such 2
memorandum I'll hang him,’’
Spargo said. “It would be com-
pletely unauthorized.’
Spargo admitted that an appli-
cation has been m to the De-
partment of Welfare for people on
relief to perform work formerly
done by the WPA. This work
consists of paving small triangles
and malls and of reconstruction
of lawn areas. Spargo empha-
sized the fact that relief people
would not be assigned to mainte-
nance work.
Spargo admitted that it was
highly possible that many of the
people on relief might be aliens
He stated that the plan was to
supply work for the people who
received relief checks, Formerly
the relief recipients received their
checks without doing any work,
Spargo indicated,

AsphaltWorkersGo
On Per Annum Pay
About 80 percent of the City’s
asphalt workers went to work this
week for the first time in
City’s history as per annum em-
ployees.
This action was a result of the
agreement reached recently among
Budget Director Kenneth Dayton,
Mayor LaGuardia and Henry
Feinstein, representing The Pay-
ers and Road Builders District
Council, AFL.
The agreement provides 230
eight-hour days, with a basic in-
crease of approximately $250 per
employee, as against the current
per diem appropriations in the
budget. It further provides that,
if no actual asphalt work is avail-
able, the employees would be pro
vided with work other than that
specified under their skilled trade
assignment.
The agreement, which benefits
the employee at the moment, in
that asphalt is not available, will
terminate at the end of the cur-
rent budgetary year. Or, if tho
employees so desire, at the end
of the war emergency.

By ARTHUR RHODES
(Sixth in a series of stories on
working conditions in New York
State hospitals),
Perhaps it is merely a co-
incidence, But there's a shortage
of 56 attendants at Creedmoor
State Hospital, And there have
been three suicides within a
month—the last occurring only
about a week ago among the pa-
tients,
Dr. George W. Mills, superin-
tendent at the hospital, told The
LEADER this week that the ratio
of suicides to attendants on the
job cannot be considered a cause
of the recent violent deaths.
“Even if you had one attendant
for every patient,” said Dr, Mills,
“you'd probably still have sul-
cides. The whole thing depends
on the mental setup of the pa-
t if
et it seems sensible to believe
that, when there are 66 tendants
ded, when there 385 at-
tendants to care for 4,800 patients,
and when it has happened. that
an attendant in one dormitory can
be no closer to a dangerous pa-
tient in another dormitory than
300 feet, sulf-violence can be made
less difficult to accomplish than
under a fully-manned system,
The figure of 385 attendants is
used advisably, ‘There are sup
posed to be 627 attendants at
Creedmoor assigned to ward serv-
ice at the moment But 56 last
week were on special detail, four
were il], 90 were out on passes,
vacations and days off, and there
were still 56 vacancies. That drew

away from the 627 total.
Dr. Mills claims that attendants
are still ‘badly needed.” Yet
cases are still being reported of
applicants with all the require-
ments just being refused jobs at
Creedmoor,
Take the case of a man who
worked one month as an attend-
ant at Creedmoor, came in late
one day and was told ‘‘to resign
or else.” At the end of his
month's probationary period, he
resigned. Somewhat later, he
sought reinstatement but was re-
fused. Even though he passed his
test, and even though he has not
joined any union, Indeed, he was
told by a Creedmoor official that
he ought to try to obtain a job in
another State hospital because he
really would have a great chan
of getting one. He merely wasn't
wanted at Creedmoor.

list x attendants con-

Maybe this enables
the Creedmoor adminiXvation to
save money. But it doesn’t help
to eliminate the menace of
further suicides—suicides that are
now occurring at a record rate.
There has been as astoundingly
small a percentage as one attend-
ant to 168 patients in the women's
division, Yet the Creedmoor ad-
ministration is still keeping a
large number of people on special

Merit Men
ALL THIS FURORE about sub-
marine activity strikes a familiar
note in the mind of John Justin
Allen, personnel manager of the
Veterans’ Administration in New
York City. For personable, soft-
spoken J, J, Allen came out of
Harvard University Naval Radio
School in time to serve overseas
as chief radio operator on the
Navy's U.S.S. “Sylvia”, a con-
verted Coast Guard cutter,
‘I enlisted as a. seaman,” he
tells you at his desk at 346 Broad-
way, Manhattan, site of the re-
cently moved Federal agency,
‘“but I had my mind set on radio
work, My earliest hobby was to
tinker with radio equipment—es-
pecially the old crystal sets.”
ed Around
For two years J. J. Allen toured
around the world--from days in
Russia when his cutter brought
food to starving natives to days in
Marseilles, France, when the
European scene boiled and made
sea activity a hazard for every
man every moment.
Born in New Haven, Conn, 47
years ago, J, J, Allen attended
grammar school there and then
entered business school in Wash-
ington, D. C,, after his family had
decided to move, He did odd jobs
until his enlistment in the Navy
in 1917,

On Creedmoor Articles
Sirs: Allow me to commend
you for your courageous articles
exposing the un-American cond
tions that prevail in some of our
State hospitals. So many of our
100 percent American papers wax
lyrical when denouncing Hitlevism
abroad, but are struck strangely
silent when confronted with the
same thing in their own back
yards.
If we are fighting this war to
end Hitlerism, we have got to root
it out and des it wherever it
rears its hei in whatever
form it presents itself, If this is
not our war aim then thousands
of our boys on far-flung. battle-
fields are dying in vain.

SI I have a complaint to
make, I have been on porter's
list three and a half years, Where
do the sanitation men rate better
‘an we do? That they can’t wait
for their sanitation job? If I'm
willing to wait three and a half
years so far I don’t see why they
can’t wait for their own job, that
they have taken a test for sani-
tation men not porters. They have
been offering me $720 a year in-
come jobs only, How can a man
with a family to support live on
that income, Let the sanitation
men take the $720 jobs and let us
have our porter’s job in the sub
ways, What's really coming to us,

Loans to Students
, Sirs: Best idea I've seen in a
long time is President Roosevelt's
request that needy students be
given loans so that they may con-
tinue their studies and prepare to
do good work in the war effort.
I think The LEADER gives a real
service in publishing stories of
developments in Washington.

Questions New
Investigator Test
Sirs: In October, 1940, a list
was promulgated for assistant in-
vestigator (law) by the U. S, Civil
Service Commission, Require-
ments were the same as now need-
ed for the above position, Ac-
cording to your paper, the entire
list contained 260 successful can-
didates, I have written the Com-
mission several times, but usually
received form replies, giving no in-
formation or any satisfaction.
In view of the talk concerning
saving time, money, and even con-
sidering using State and City lists
for Federal jobs, I can’t conceive
how the Commission ignores the
investigator list and advertises for
investigator. Something smells
somewhere, Were there ever any
appointments made from the as:
sistant inyestigator list? JJ,
QUESTION, PLEASE
Only Vets
Get Preference
B.A.L.: AS a soldier, you will
not be entitled to any preference
in the coming City test for stenog-
rapher, grade 2, An honorable
discharge will not give you pref-
erence on City tests, You can
only receive preference if you are
a disabled veteran. Disabled vet-
erans must first pass their tests
in order to have their claims for
preference granted. As soon as
they pass their examinations, their
names are placed on top of the
eligible list,
If you are reached for appoint
ment while you are in the army,
and the eligible list should expire
before you return to civilian life,
you will be entitled to have your
name placed on a special list
which will be good for a period
of one year,

of the State Commission, the rat-
ing of the written papers is en-
tirely completed, Evaluation of

pletion of your probationary

Leave of Absence
To Join Armed Forces
G.K.: The Mayor's executive
order about leaves of absence has
nothing to do with enlistment in
the armed forces. City employees
who enlist in any branch of the
service are protected by the Stale
Military law, Enlistment in the
Army Specialist Corps is per
mitted under the Mayor's cider,
provided, of course, that your de
partment head grants your
quest for a leave of absence. |i
der the Mayor's order, the depit'

Mediocrity
In U. S. Service?
Mediocrity is finding its way in-
to the civil service under the im-
pact of war emergencies, and “the
heart of the competitive system is
suffering from high blood pres-
sure,” stated H, Eliot Kaplan, ex-
ecutive Secretary of the National
Civil Service Reform League, in
a radio address over WNYC last
week, reviewing the effects of the
war on the nation’s civil service,
‘Whether there will be a paralytic
stroke, or even fatal cardiac hem-
morhage, will depend on how
well the competitive system can
take the poundings of war de-
mands. So far the patient has
held up surprisingly well. If the
Federal Commission can continue
to meet the deadlines as well as
it has up to now, then we have
every reason to hope that the
patient will live through this cru:
cial period.”
Pointing out that it has been
necessary to gear the civil servico
machinery to meet war demands,
he warned that “not all the in-
novations will prove necessary or
even desirable in less turbulent

war fever dies down and will be
made adaptable to peace-tim
conditions. Time-saving devices
will be as essential after the war
as now. Some practices now fol-
lowed may live to plague us in
later davs,’”
Kaplan stated that reduction in
the civil service immedistely after
the war ends will add new bur-
dens to the departments and the
Commission, ‘‘He is blind who is
not able to see how much medioc
ity has already found its way inte
the Government agencies. For the
immediate future the situation
will become rather worse than
better. It is certain that the end
of the war will bring a violent
reduction in the civil service, but
it is also certain that not long
after will arise the need for
trained talent to meet the servic
ing needs of government, Under
any such transition the need for
developing and training adminis-
trators and technicians for post
war service is obvious. We can.
not start too soon on such a pro

With WILLIAM LEWIS:
What It Takes...
This being the first week of the
new fiscal year, perhaps an in-
ventory is in order, A recent let-
ter to the editor, written by Mar-
garet G. McConnell, wallops the
nail on the noggin. Speaking of
certain municipal employees, and
the efforts they put forth last
year, she said: “They just didn’t
put up the kind of fight it takes.”’
As my Aunt Matilda would say:
“If the shoe fits—put it in your
pipe and smoke it.” Let us begin
our inventory assuming that the
lady's remarks are applicable to
park employees, First of all, to
cry over what has happened in
the past avails nothing, list the
experience gained as an asset and
let's take stock from there. What
have we on hand that will help
park employees to put up ‘the
kind of fight it takes?’
Item I; The Right to Organize
It must be evident to everyone,
that in order to wage a success-
ful fight, organization is nece-
ssary, There are many types of
organizations, but only one ca-
pable of gaining success; the
ideal, of course, is one strong or-
ganization comprising every last
employee in the department, Fail-
ing in this, the rank and file of
one group of Park employees must
not allow their leaders to waste
ammunition sniping at other
groups, So, stop knocking your-
self out and keep your leaders on
their toes by demanding a report
of progress from time to time,
Item 1; On Order
While organization is absolutely
essential, this in itself does not
mean the end of the rainbow and
the pot of gold. A war cannot
be won by merely building up a
large army; the army must fight
and win many battles in order to
gain the final victory, Park em-
ployees must battle to win favor-
able public opinion, to further im-
press public officials, to enlist the
aid of outside allies and to gain
favorable publicity.

Confidentially,
I Think...
It's a shame such an excellent
cartoonist will waste his talent on
a subject with which he is totally
unfamiliar. . , I won't mention
the name of the paper, of course,
but he doesn’t know what in the
world he is talking about...
maybe he was just trying to evoke
a telegram or two... according
to this guy, you'd need a pass
signed by Haille Selassie, Lana
Turner and Charlie McCarthy to
even get into a park serious.
ly, an annual vandalism bill of a
quarter of a million dollars is
nothing to joke about.
This story is entirely without
foundation . . , the saboteurs who
came over on the submarine are
supposed to have told the FBT
men that, ‘they heard they could
get a job in the parks.”
‘The forthcoming issue of ‘The
Sycamore’? should be a huge suc-
cess... from what Gerry Cough.
lan tells me, it is all but ready
to go to press. , , a feature will
be the listing of all the names of
Park employees who have joined
the armed forces.

MINIATURE RAILROAD
SET FOR HOBBY SHOW
One of the entrants in the elaborate Civil Service Fair August
3 to 13 being sponsored by The LEADER will exhibit a model rail-
road and boxcars, coal cars, locomotive and tender, caboose, and
two tank cars, ‘n’ everything.
Another will show a model fire engine, which will be taken
from its exhibit stand in a local museum for the exhibition. The
model is eight inches high, four wide and 14 long, is painted red
and has brass trimmings, a bell that rings, detachable hose and—
rubber tires!
Poetry Book Entered!
And here are other exhibits being entered: collection of
sterling silver, a bracelet and a pin; a flow chart history of the
visual arts; a book of poetry that has been begging for a pub-
lisher; picture frames made of cardboard and bits of cloth; pen and
ink drawings; a needlepoint picture of a country home made with
wool on a canvas setting, Mexican embroidery, and boat replicas.
The Fair is scheduled to be held in Sachs Auditorium, 35th Street
and Eighth Avenue, Manhattan, Exhibits will be insured. Prizes
will be awarded. And there’s no entrance fee,
All you need do to enter is to fill in the coupon appearing be-
low and mail it to the LEADER. The only requirement is that
you work for New York City, New York State or the Federal gov-
ernment.
Model Railroad
Here’s what Warren D. Shipp, a special patrolman for’ the
Board of Transportation, has to say in writing in from his home at
206 Audubon Avenue, Manhattan (he has the model railroad):
“I think your Civil Service Fair idea is great and I would like
to participate. I have built a model train of locomotive and tender,
three box cars, two hopper (coal), two tank cars and a caboose. I
also have a collection of photographs taken by me of various
airplanes. The photos are & x 10 inches, available tor exhibi
Mr. Shipp is no different from others who are writing in to
The LEADER in enthusiastic fashion and glowing over the show's
prospects. These civil service workers have definitely interesting
hobbies and they are all too willing to put them on display.
a Cg
Field Day for Women
One of the more absorbing things about the whole show is the
fact that virtually none of the hobbies being entered is of a costly
nature. They can be made, in fact, from such odd materials as egg
shells, burned matches, scraps of cloth, pebbles, seashells, empty
spools, old orange crates, orange wrapping papers and tree twigs.
Incidentally, the women won't possibly have a dull time, if our
guess is correct. For there'll be special sections of the Fair de-
voted entirely to them, such as needlework, crochet, knitting, em-
broidery, quilting, weaving, lace-making, needlepoint and dressmak-
ing,
And there'll be daily cooking contests for the feminine ele-
ment, such as pie-baking exhibitions, cake and cookie-baking com-
Petitions and similar events .. . the sort of contests that do so much

Women wailed on the floor of
the Board of Estimate, Men lost
their tempers.
Result was exchange of acid
remarks between Councilman
President Newbold Morris, acting
for Fusion, and Majority Leader
Sharkey.
“If you keep the investigators
working," said Sharkey, ‘we wil
get to work in the Council and
amend the law so that it wall not
place any undue burden on the
city. There Is no need to remove
them, You are acting arbitrarily
if you drop them,"
Opposing the action of the
Board of Wstimate were a num-
ber of astute minded observers of
civil service workings.
Former Alderman James Kier-
nan, ourrently New York organ-
izer and representative of the
American Federation of State,
County, and Municipal Em-
ployees, Local 61 (AFL), de-
nounced the dismissals as the
‘most outrageous things I have
ever seen in 35 years of public
life.” ‘To which he added: “I had
always thought that in this coun-
try the courts had a chance to
function."
Mr, Kiernan reminded the
Board that “your corporation
counsel took this case all the way
up to the Court of Appeals. If the
people get licked, fine, but if you
get licked, you chop their heads
off." Kiernan pointed out that
cost of increments wou!d be very
little. For 46 persons, it would
come to only $10,520 of which half
is paid by the Federal and State
Governments, Budget Director
Dayton admitted this to be cor-
rect.
David A, Savage, counsel for
Local 61, who had filed a brief as
amicus curiae on behalf of a
group of more than 30 ungraded
employees at the Court of Appeals
in the case of Petrocelli ys. Me-
Goldrick, protested the firings on
the ground that “this Board has
already put into the budget funds
to pay these employees, When
you pre e the budget you told
the taxpayers of this city that
these funds were going to be
use to pay the ries of thost
employees, There is work for
thom to perform but now you re-
fuse to let them work and intend
to use the funds for other pur
he hat is fraud and the
Courts of the State will not per:
mit such action."
contention of Mr. 8!
The budget divectoy clai
that the cost of giving back pay
to all the ungraded employees af-
fected by the decision of the
Court of Appeals would be $1,000,-
000, ‘This has been grossly exag-
gorated, Because 90 percent of
such employees had not signed
their payrolls under protest dur-
ing all of the time that the case
was pending in the courts, More-
over, more than 150 employees of
the Department of Welfare were
to receive increases of $300 each,
under the budget for the year
1942-1943, which amounted {o
much larger sum than the cost of
giving the legally won increments
to the 71 employees whose posi-
tions they were dropping.”
One parting word from Mr.
Savage: “If cily officials do not
give the 71 employees their rights
under the decision of the Court
of Apprals, court action will he
instituted at the end of this
month.”
Mr. Leopold V. Rossi, of the
Ciyil Service Forum, appeared us
representative for a number of
those involved,
H, Bliot Kaplan, executive sec-
retary of the Civil Service Reform
Association, gives it as his opin-
ion that the McCarthy Increment
Law (designed to provide four
$120 increments a year to bring
those getting no more than $1,800
up to $2,280) was interpreted by
some as an instrument for giv-
ements to those ungraded
es making $2,400 and
He held that the present
trouble would have been ayoided
if the Municipal Service Commis-
sion in 1989 had graded those in-
volved in the investigators’ case,
