600 New Yorkers to Get
Jobs in Draft Program
More than 600 people in New York State will get jobs in the next 10 days in the selec-
tive service program, a survey by Tue Leaver revealed last week.
All the jobs are clerical posi- *
tions and only a small percent-
age will be filled from Civil Ser-
vice lists according to present
policy. Each local draft board—
there are 500-odd in New York
State—will be authorized to em-
ploy a paid clerk at a salary of
$150 to $200. In addition, each
of the 25 Boards of Appeal will
haye at least one clerk, and pos-
sibly two,

The positions involyed are Senior

Applications for clerk jobs in the
local draft boards must be made di-
rect to members of the boards. It|
is expected they will have the right
to select their own clerks after a
majority of the three members of |
euch board agree on a choice. The |
appointments will be non-political. |

City To Pay Salaries
Of Guardsmen On Duty
Joseph D, McGoldrick, New York City Comptroller, last
week taaded a memorandum to city departments, clarifying
the policy on payment of salaries for employees “on ordered
military or naval duty.” The memorandum covers National
Guardsmen, members of the Naval Reserve, and other re-
serve groups, who are called to active service,
employees “who are members of
the National Guard or naval’
militia, or are members of the
yeserve corps or force in the
federal, military, naval or marine
service, Who are ordered on mili-
tary or naval duty” can leave
thelr regular jobs. No leaves of
absence are necessary or will be
granted, he added, since such
employees are fully protected by
section 245 of the State Military
Jaw.
Other Provisions
For the first 30 days, an employee
receives his full salary, less amounts
already paid for any active service
already put in this year, After the
frst 80 days he receives the differ-
ence in his city salary and his mili-
tary pay. Allowances for subsistence
and residence quarters are not con-
dered part of the military com-
pensation.
An employee is required to notify
tho head of his department concern-
ing his military or naval rank, rate
of compensation, where he is as-
signed, ete, He must also inform his
department head of any changes in
McGoldrick declared that city+
hia rank or rate of pay, Photostatic
copies of the military orders verity-
ing rank and pay will be forwarded
to the Central Payroll Division of the
Comptroller's Office,
Each employee will execute
three copies of power of attorney;
one copy will be filed with the Pay
Division of the Department of
Finance, one with the head of the
department and one with the person
who is to receive the salary check.
Forms for power of attorney can be
obtained at the office of the Pay
Division of the Department of
Finance, Room 22, Municipal Build-
ing, Manhattan,
Employees who receive a differen-
tial in salary which {s less than their
regular pension payments, or those
who receive no difference in salary,
will have to make arrangements for
their retirement payments before
they leave for military duty.
McGoldrick pointed out that at
present there are no laws which
cover the payment of salaries to
Guardsmen and other reservists who
volunteer for service without being
ordered to report for duty,

The Leader staff will answer ques-
tions of Civil Service employees, ap-
plicants and eligibles on the possible
effects of conscription on them. The
only existing laws which protect em-
ployees and eligibles are those which
apply to members of the National
Guard, Navat Militia, or other re~
serve groups, Howev is ex-
pected that legislation wil be en-
acted to protect all employees and
eligibles who are drafted. The abov:
questions are answered on the as-
sumption that such. legislation will
be passed.
We Suggest - - -
In this new department, Tue Leaver will each week include
suggestions which are important to Civil Service employees, eli-
gibles, and those seeking to enter the government. Readers with
suggestions of their own are invited to submit them to the editors.
THAT ALL EMPLOYEE ORGANIZATIONS ap-
point special committees to begin work on legis-
lation to protect drafted employees, eligibles and
candidates,
THAT MEN who have taken the City Sanitation
exam, or the former Fireman, Patrolman, or Life-
{ rete exam, give attention to the U, 8, Border

THAT YOUNG ENGINEERS consider entering
the government service, It's easier now than ever
who are quietly
before, with excellent openings available in every
branch of engineering,
THAT ALL CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES AND

Upstate Social
Work Exams
One thousand three hundred ten
candidates were admitted to social-
work exams for welfare jobs in 44
counties throughout the State, held
Saturday by the State Civil Service
Commission, ‘They followed tests for
an equal number of stenographic and
clerical titles held the week before,
with 2,787 candidates filing.
On the basis of these exams, 1,058
jobs in these counties will move into
the competitive Civil Service class.
This is in accordance with the dic-
tates of the Social Security Board,
which threatened to withdraw $25,-
000,000 from State aid unless the
exams were held. No Civil Service
exists today in these 44 counties,

Jobs for Librarians
(Exclusive)
Exams for three librarian titles in four cities of New York State, which are open
to residents of the entire State, were announced this week by the State Civil Service
Commission. Filing ends October 26, and the tests themselves are scheduled for Saturday
morning, November 16.
The titles are Junior Assistant Librarian ($1,200-$1,500) ; Senior
Assistant Librarian ($1,500-$1,800); Senior Librarian ($2,100 and over). Full requirements
appear on page 11.
+
The cities cooperating are New)
Rochelle, Niagara Falls, Syracuse
and Yonkers. Application blanks
are available at the local Civil)
Service commission in any of
these cities, or at the Examina-
tions Division, State Department
of Civil Service, Albany. Candi-
dates wishing to get blanks by
mail e asked to enclose six
cents and a self-addressed en-
velope with their request.
Other Opportunities
Announcement of these exams fol-
lows months of conversations be-
tween State and local Civil Service
officials. If the plan works out suc-|
cessfully, it is likely that other local |
commissions will take advantage of
the examination facilities of the
State Commission, thus providing
even greater opportunities for New
York State's librarians.
Both local and State-wide lists are
to be made up in each title, Al-
though the tests are open to qualified
persons throughout the State, pref-
erence in appointment will go to
residents of the city where the va-
cancy exists. When a list of legal
residents of the city involved is ex-
hausted, appointments will then be
made from the State-wide lists,
These residence restrictions hold:
1) a candidate must be a resident of
New York State for a year prior to
the date of the test to be eligible
for the State-wide list; and 2) he
must be a resident of his city for a
year prior to the date of the test|§
b
ligible for the city list.
is one exception to this in
the current series: the exam for
nior Librarian is open to non-r
dents of the State as we
As exclusively revealed last month
in a “Don't Repeat This” item, the
matter of f
§n the pr |
following compromise has been ef-
fected: 1) a candidate interested only
in the city eligible list pays his fee
to the local commission; 2) a c
didate interested only in the Si
wide list pays his fee to the State
Commission; 3) a candidate inter-
ested in both lists must pay two fees.
Typists, Stenos
Change Minds
Ten per cent of the eligibles on the
top of popular State clerical, typist,
and steno lists probably change their
minds after two years about the jobs
they will accept, This is the first
estimate made as a result of the re-
canvass of these lists, recently
Jaunched by the State Civil Service
Commission.
Tt is bass n the returns from a
mass certification of 2,400 unap-
ointed eligibles on the Junior Clerk
fist tor permanent appointment at |
$900 in the Albany office of the Tax |
Department; 250 of this number |
signified willingness to accept such a|
job, even though they may have
turned down similar offers previ-
ously,
Also being recanvassed are the
lists for Assistant Clerk, Junior
Stenographer, Assistant File Clerk,

Last week, Tue Leaver published

5 Civil Service Bodies
For New York City?
One of the possible recommendations which the Fite Commission
will make to the State Legislature in January on the ways and
| means to extend Civil Service throughout the State is the establish-
ment of Civil Service commissions in each county, New York City
is not directly involved in the working of the Fite Commission, as
it already enjoys Civil Service. But one quirk does exist: New York
City’s commission takes in five counties; should county commissions
be set up, what will happen to the New York commission?
This problem will be before the
members of the Fite Commission
Wednesday, when it holds a public
hearing beginning at 10 am. in the
State Office Building, 80 Centre
Street, This hearing immediately
follows a meeting the day before In
Elmira.
Kern to Appear
Scheduled to appear at the New
York City hearing is Paul J. Kern,
nt of the Municipal Commis-
Testimony on various prob-
lems bothering the Fite Commission
is also expected from Civil Service
officials in neighboring cities and
New Jersey, and from local employee
groups.
President Kern's name entered into
the record of the Fite Commission
at last Tuesday's hearing in Buffalo.
In discussing the matter of covering
in 150,000 present incumbents, Bart
A. Oddo, of the Buffalo Council of
|the Civil Service Association (up-
ite counterpart of the anti-Kern
Civil Service Forum), lashed out:
“We favor covering in those em-
ployees who have been working at
least one year, And we don't want
this law distorted in the way the
Wicks Law is being distorted in New
York City by Paul Kern,”
Oddo was referring to the fact that
President Kern, in reclassifying 25,-
000 subway workers into Civil Serv-
ice under transit unification, has de-
volved a formula to explain the “ane-
year prior service” requirement of
the Wicks Law. This formula, hold-

Latest Appointments
On Jr. Examiner List
Numbers 32 and 33 on the Junior
Examiner of State Expenditures list
were appointed to the Department
of Audit and Control as of October
1, This brings to 24 the appoint-
ments made since the list was estab-
lished two months ago. Departmet
officials say that ull of the remain-
ing provisionals will be replaced by
eligibles by November 1,
Meanwhile, Frederick Hollowell,
Secretary to’ Comptroller Morris 8.
‘Tremaine, had this to say on an
anonymous letter complaining about
the prevalence of provisionals, that
was sent to the department and to
the Civil Service Leaven:
“I feel sure that Comptroller Tre-
maine would consider it unwise and
unneccessary to enter into any con-
troversy with anonymous persons,
“If anyone has any legitimate com-
plaint and has courage enough to
reveal his Identity, such complaint
would, of course, be given every con-
sideration, but to pay any attention
to anonymous communications of this
nature would appear to be merely
useless shadow-boxing.”

Dozens of eligibles on the list for
Assistant Mechanical Stores Clerk

manent $1,200 appointments to the
Public Works Department offices in
Albany, Rochester, and Syracuse.

the President is expected to sign.
Navy Yard Raises
Congress already has authorized
more than 40 hours at overtime pay
in Navy Yards and Army arsenals,
But the most important bill fs the
Walsh measure, because it marks one
of the few times clerical help was
covered by overtime provisions
“The committee is of the opinion,”
Chairman Walsh stated, “that we
cannot discriminate between two
persons working side by side, and
gay to one, ‘Because you are a ste-
nographer, you cannot receive over-
time pay,” and say to another, ‘Be-
cause you are a mebhanic you can
receive overtime pay!’ ”
In those tew words the chairman
has stated the main grievance of so-
called white collar workers, It!
time, many department heads feel
including Navy Secretary Frank |
Knox, that all employees should be
treated alike and if one is given over-
time, all should get it.
However, the joker in the Walsh
pill is the fact that it in itself spreads
discrimination as departmental em-
ployees in Washington would be de-
nied overtime pay while every other
Navy employee in the country would
get it.

When The Year Is Up
ORE and more, officials are recognizing the wis-
M dom of the suggestion—first offered by The
Leaper—that men who are drafted be permitted
to take Civil Service exams,
New York State, for example, has made arrange-
ments for one young man now in military training in
Illinois to take the Prison Guard exam, He might
have precisely the qualifications that make a good
Prison Guard. The State Civil Service Commission
doesn’t see why it should take the chance of losing a
good public servant,
The Leaver applauds this attitude.
In our opinion, every young man who goes away for
® year of military training should have the same
privilege.
To Civil Service officials everywhere, to legislators,
to military auhtorities, we say. ..
Don’t deprive the community of any possible talent
that may be inherent in America’s conscripts. . .and
don't deny to the young men away for a year’s training
the hope of returning to a government Job which they
may be well qualified to handle,
To prospective conscripts, we say...
The opportunitles 1n government service are con-
stantly enlarging. Ask your government officials to
protect your right to take Civil Service examinations.
Remember, you're !n the army for a year, . Make the
most of your time to study, so you don’t have to go
back to a cheap little Job or no job at all,
Insult to Injury
sd Me first step in the observance and enforce-
ment of the merit system 1s the complete
abolition of all forms of political activity by
employees.” The man who uttered this insult to
Americas Civil Service workers is the same man who
has already curtailed their liberties as citizens. He is
Senator Carl A, Hatch, father of the bill that says (1)
government employees must keep their mouths shut
about Issues that affect them vitally; (2) 1f they don’t
like it, they can get the hell out of the service,
Police Appointments
EW YORK CITY will indeed suffer if it decides to
N make no more Police appointments for a year.
That was the implication in a statement two
weeks ago by Commissioner Valentine, He said there
wouldn’t be any appointments for “obvious reasons,”
meaning that the city might have to make up the
difference in salary for any rookie who was con-
scripted,
The need for an adequate, well-trained police force
4n the world’s largest city is apparent, Today, the force
is 400 short of the allowable quota, These vacancies
should be filled immediately. No appointments were
made to the Department from July, 1939, to July, 1940.
Meantime, deaths, retirements, dismissals and resigna~
tions built up a large number of vacancies, The 300
appointments last summer did not fill all of them,
Another extremely bad feature of further delays in
appointments is the effect it has on the police eligibles.
They took a severe exam nearly two years ago, They
survived out of a field of 32,000, Now they do not know
when they will get Jobs and many are beginning to
feel they will never be appointed.
We urge the Mayor and the Police Commissioner to
adopt a more liberal policy, to go ahead with the ap-
pointments scheduled for the first week in November.
Spencer
Clifford
Young
+. I'ma great believer in
selective service , , .'
N the fifth floor of the Mu-
nicipal Building men and
women are working at top
speed to set up machinery to ad-
minister the draft. One of the
key men in this work is Spencer
Clifford Young, assistant director
of selective service for New York
City, Young is a long-time Civil
Service employee who entered
the city service in 1922 and is
now chief of the bureau of mu-
nicipal investigation and statis-
tics of the Comptroller's Office,
For the last few weeks Young
has been assisting Colonel Ar-
thur V. McDermott, director of
selective service for New York
City. Once the preliminary work
4s finished, he will assume regu-
lar duties. “Immediately after
Registration Day, I will be in
charge of inspection and investi-
gation of complaints, I will also
have charge of efficlency studies
and surveys.” To assist him in
checking the inevitable com~
plaints that will follow registra-
tion and later selection of men
for military service, Young will
have a staff of volunteer lawyers.
“All paid employees for this work
will come from federal Civil
Service lists,” he explains,
War Vet
Young is a World War veteran
who served as a signal quarter-
master on the U,S.S, Seattle on
convoy duty to Europe, He enlist-
ed three weeks after this country
entered the war and was not dis-
charged until September, 1919.
Since then he has been extrem:
ly active in American Legion af-
fairs. In 1933 he was Vice Com-
mander of the New York State
American Legion, As a promi-
nent Legion official he has re-
eatedly urged that this country
uild up adequate defenses,
“I’m a great believer in se-
sective service,” he says. “It
makes a man who hasn't thought.
he belonged, become a part of
this great country. I have al-
ways said that we owe a great
duty to the country in times like
these.”
Many a young man today is
perplexed over the draft and its
effects on him, Young, however,
is reassuring on this point. He
doesn’t believe the draft boards
will select men to whom military
service would mean a serious dis-
ruption of their ordinary life.
“Due to the fact that this is for
training rather than actual war-
fare, the draft boards will un-
doubtedly be liberal,”
School in Detroit
Young went to school in De-
troit and held his first jobs there.
One of these was with the Ford
Motor Company as a foreman’s
clerk. As soon as the United
States entered the war he en-
listed. After the war he held
a number of Jobs in New York
and the Middle West including
an accounting position with a
large manufacturing concern.
Young's first Civil Service job
was Bookkeeper, Grade 3, Later
he took promotion exams for the
two higher grades and placed
No. 1 on both eligible lists, In
1930 he was promoted to chief of
the Bureau of Real Estate in the
Comptroller's office and had
charge of buying and selling mil-
lions of dollars worth of property
for the city.
Young manages to find time
for many extra-professional ac-
tivities. Besides his activities in
the American Legion, he 1s also
prominent in political circles.
Young likes baseball, basket-
ball, swimming and golf. He's
treasurer of the Huntington
Crescent Club, where he fre~
quently plays a round of golf.
Young 1s married, has a son 17
who's preparing for Princeton

Cops Want 11-Squad Chart
Sirs: A'number of men in my
Precinct have been following the
articles you have run on the 1l-
squad chart. We are all very
much interested in this, and ap-
preciate the support you are giving
the plan,
It's pretty tough on men who
have to work day in and day out
with never an actual day off, You
can readily see that this is so, A
man who gets off at 8 a.m, one day,
comes back to work at 4 pm, the
next day. He gets 38 hours off, all
right, but he works every day.
You know that in any sort of
work a man needs a day off now
and then to refresh himself, and to
allow the strain to go away. .
I believe the adoption of the 11-
squad chart would cost the city
nothing and would, in fact, greatly
increase the efficiency of the
Police Department,
All the members of the force
should get behind the 1l-squad
chart and really push it,

Selective Certs
For Tyro Cops
Sirs: The Municipal Civil Serv-
ice Commission's recently an=
nounced Selective Certification
plan seems eminently suitable for
application to the Patrolman P.D,
Special (3d) List. According to
the original announcement of the
exam there were prospects in the
Police Department for college
men trained in the physical
sciences, languages, mathematics,
law, Of the 30,000 competitors,
2,600 passed. At least 700 on the
Special List are trained in one of
the enumerated subjects and are
awaiting the call for~e qualifying
examination.
Why can't the Commission now
go ahead with the original plan for
the Special List by giving the
qualifying examination and then
- certifying selectively down the line
to fill positions requiring men with
particular training and qualifica-
tions? There are often openings
for which the Commission certifles
appropriate lists, The Special List,
with all its latent talent, offers a
fertile fleld for appropriate ap-
pointments, not only in the Police
Department, but for the-.many
other departments and bureaus of
the city service,

HIGH SCHOOL COURSES
L:T.—I cannot give a categorical
answer to your question whether
high school courses in bookkeep-
ing or accounting are acceptable
when completion of such a cour
is required for entering a Civil

on the particular examination in
each case. The appropriate Civil
Service Commission {s the only
safe source of information. I am
sorry that in this column we can-
not answer questions about duties,
educational requirements, etc., of
various positions, I suggest you
go to the Municipal Reference
Library in the Municipal Building
and consult the announcements of
the examinations which have been
held in the past for these posi-
tions,
AGE CORRECTION
Worried—Since apparently you
added only a year or two to your
real age when you entered the fed-
eral service 15 years ago, and the
mistake has never been ques-
tioned in all that time, it is likely
it never will be. If you were en-
tering the service now, I would
advise you to write to the Civil
Service Commission and ask them
to mak the correction as to your
age in their records, I cannot tell
just what the penalty would be if
you did decide to notify the Com-
mission. of the error, but I doubt
whether it would be removal after
such @ long lapse of time. Pos-
sibly you would be suspended with-
out pay for a certain period.
JOB REQUIREMENTS
M.L, and J.A—Probably the
federal Civil Service offers more
opportunities to persons who lack
high school education or business
experience, or both, than do the
state and city Civil Service. Gen-
erally the federal requirements
for clerical and stenographic po-
sitions are less stiff than the state

nounced that staff elections to the

5. Typist’s Line Count, It is the
opinion of the Department that with
the publication of the Civil Service
Rating norm for transcribing typists,
in the preparation of which Local 1
participated, the problem of the line
count was satisfactorily adjusted, No
consideration will be given at the
present time to any change of the

service staff as well as other clerical
methods and procedures, Staff or-
ganizations have been invited to sug-
gest personnel for these committees.

i n is under study which
would provide for a more flexible
procedure in the assigning and shift-

Strike-Off Law
|Amended by Board
To correct what it considers abuses
of its “strike-off” by-law, the Board
of Education last week adopted a
new tule which provides that eli-
gibles on lists awaiting appointment
as teachers must accept any job that
is offered or be striken from the list,
|Under the Board’s former policy,
after a second declination of an ap-
| pointment, an eligible was taken off
| the list. However, eligibles were al-
lowed to indicate their preference
for appointment in certain boroughs
of the city, And refusal to take an
appointment in a borough which had
not been indicated as the preferred
one did not carry a penalty.
This fact, the Board believes, was
a loophole which defeated to a large
extent the purpose of the “strike-off”
rule. In the future, the Board will
have a strict “either or” policy. ‘The
Board will continue to assign
teachers to locations which are con-
venient to them as far as possible.
At present, if a teacher is offered |
an appointment and doesn't report
after 15 days, it is considered that
the teacher has declined the job.
Another position henceforth will not
be offered for a full year, instead of
in six months as hitherto,
Dual Jobs Saved
'For Time Being
One hundred and two evening
school teachers whose dual job status
was recently attacked in a suit
brought by the Evening School As-
sociation, last week were given pro-

preme Court Justice May issued a

livered some time ago, in which he

had made a mistake in interpreting
the dual job law's exemption at 1,000
teaching hours rather than # school

Justice May's order was issued in
the interests and efficiency of the

among those parents who desire to
keep religious discrimination out of

Campbell Plans
Military Policy
Harold G. Campbell, superintend-
ent of schools, sent a memo to prin-
cipals, and other school officials last
week, informing them that a definite
policy will soon be set on the pro-
tections and rights of teachers who
are drafted for military service. At
present, he pointed out, members of
the National Guard and Naval
Militia, as well as members of other
reserve groups, are protected by pro-
visions of the State Military Law.
When they are ordered to active
duty, they receive their full salaries
for 30 days, then the difference be-
tween their regular salaries and
their military pay. They are also
protected in any examinations that
are given during their absence,
Such protections, however, are not
in force for drafted employees, But

F.D.R. and Willkie
Laud Merit System
The President of the United
States and the Republican
nominee, Wendel Willkie, last
week issued statements to the
Civil Service Assembly meeting
in Cleveland. Both men indi-
cated their high interest in the
merit system,
Said the President: “It is be-
coming increasingly clear that
the major objectives which we
have set for ourselves can best
be realized if governments are
administered with the aid of
personnel programs that are
squarely based onthe merit
principle.” ‘
Mr. Roosevelt indicated his
interest in the Ramspeck bill,
which last week came.out of
Congress for the President's
signature (see story on page
5), He pointed out that he
had issued executive orders en-
larging the orbit of positions
under merit wherever possible,
and he showed his apprecia-
tion of the task of the federal
Civil Service Commission in
filling a vast number of de-
tense jobs on short order.
Willkie Asks Good Manage-
ment
Said the Republican candi-
date for the presidency: “It is
imperative today that the tests
of good management shall be
measured just as strictly
against the executives of gov-
ernment as against the execu-
tives of business and industry.
Thus the nation will surmount
the crisis which it faces. , ,
No factor ig more important in
the achievement of this objec-
tive than the extension of the
merit system to cover the ad-
ministrative service of every
level of government.”
Mr, Willkie called for the
widest opportunity for partici-
pation of all interested citizens
in the competition for public
positions,
12,000 Federal Employees
May Be Drafted
Approximately 240,000 Federal em-
ployees throughout the country will
register October 16 under the Selec.
tive Service Act, and 12,000 are ex-
pected to be called for service the
first year.
Because of the many government
positions essential to national de-
fense, it is expected that a smaller
percentage of Civil Service employ-
ees will be taken than in private
business,
