FEDERAL CIVIL SERVICE NEWS

BUDGET

Washington
On $1,440 a Year

WASHINGTON,—As if the Civil
Service Commission wasn't hav-
ing a hard enough time to recruit
low-paid clerical workers for jobs
in Washington, the publicity that
has been pouring out of Washing-
ton for the past few weeks has
made the job even more difficult,

Let's take a quick inventory of

some of those stories; A Con-
gressman suggests that Govern-
ment girls be made to go to bed

at 10 o'clock each night, .,. War
agencies are accused of bringing
hundreds of new employees here
to loaf. , Congressmen say
housing conditions in Washington
are intolerable, No rooms, apart-
ments, or homes available.

Prices are sky high and they are

going higher, Government
has taken over ges, barns,
penthouse and night
elubs for office 5}

Refusing to Take Jobs

‘The results have been obvious.
People are refusing to take Fed-
eral jobs in Washington by the
thousands, ‘They simply belicve
they are better off at thelr homes
on small es than they are
in Washington where the cost of
living is admittedly much higher.

And the givls don't even want it
suggested to them that they go to
bed at 10 o'clock.

Recent reports show that up to
&5 per cent of the Civil Service
eligibles for low-paid jobs have
refused them in Washington, At
that rate it pay to gy”
civil service

doesn't
tests!

Bursting At The Seams
‘There's no escaping the fact
that Washington is bursting open
at the seams, Within 18 months

its population has leaped from
650,000 to more than a million,
One hundred thousand’ Federal
workers have been brought to
Washington, Prices in Washing-
ton have always been among the
highest in the nation.

‘The $1,440 Clerle

But government sources say the
complainers overlook several im-
portant facts: (1jpThat a $1,440
clerk can live in Washington in
comparative comfort; (2) That
Washington has adapted itself to
the $1,440 clerk where no other
city in this Iand has; (3) There
are thousands here making $1,440
or thereabouts who send money
back to the homefolks each Gov-
ernment payday,

Washington is a city of apart-
ment and boarding houses, No
other city in America is like it
in that respect. ‘Tens of thous
ands of $1,440 girls rent one-room
$50 apartments, cook their own
meals, and live pretty well. Two,
sometimes three, generally share

a one-room apartment.

Four and five girls rent and
share, say, a two-room kitchen
and bath apartment, whieh will,

cost around $65 to $70 here.
‘Tens of thousands of others live

In the hundreds of boarding
houses in Washington, From $40
to $50 a month two girls can
get two meals a day, breakfast
and dinner, and share a room,
That’ how Government boys
and girls in Washington try to

beat the high prices,

Of course, if you believe a pay-
check of $120 a month will put
you in a swanky Connectieut Ave:
nue hotel , , . well, it just won't.

Pay Up for Action

‘The new Ramspeck-Mead bill
which would raise the salaries of
the custodial employees is due for
action in both the House and the
Senate this week.

Post Office Considers Hiring Women;
Fight for Salary Raises Gets Tougher

(EXCLUSIVE)

WASHINGTON.—The drive to
raise the salaries of “white-
collar” Federal workers appears
to have bogged down again,
though the fight will be con-
tinued unabated.

Post Offiee Department sourees
have informed The LEADER
that the Budget Bureau probably
won't recommend proposed legis-
lation to permit the payment of
straight overtime of clerks, ear-
riers, and other postal workers
who are required to work more
than 40 hours a week.

However, these postal sources

straight overtime to clerks, car-
pected to be granted, neverthe-
less. The proposal will be sub-
mitted to Congress without Bud-
get Bureau approval, agd Post
Office officials will urge the Con-
gress to o.k, the authorization.

And everyone in Washington
knows that the Post Office gets
almost anything it wants from
Congress.

Can Meet Opposition

Postal officials are fortified to
meet all opposition. They have
armed themselves with facts and
figures to show that the man-
power shortage is playing hob
with the Post Office service,
Postal employees are leaving the
service by the thousands to go

In England, women have taken over the jobs of men in just
about everything. This lass, from the little town of Glynde, is
a postman, Now, it seems as though we may soon have women
carrying the mail packs here. The Post Office Department is
giving careful consideration to such a plan, in order not to be
caught short by the thousands of men who are leaving their jobs.

In fact, the Post Office Depart.

ly-held secret, but postal officials
are seriously considering the pos-
sibility of hiring women to re.
place thousands of clerks and
carriers. Yes, some of the more
realistic postal officials now be-
lieve that they'll lose thousands,
tens of thousands of men to war
jobs, and these men must be re-
placed by women, In England,
women have long been employed
as postal carriers, and service has
been excellent, This precedent is
sure to have an effect here,
Should the use of women be
O.K,'d, the next step would be an
examination of unprecedented na~
ture, to find the women who are
best fitted to take over.

Only Post Office Has a Chance

But let's get back to the dis-
couraging news—the fact that tho
Budget has disapproved tentative-
ly of the Post Office plan to pay
its employees straight time for
hours worked over 40, It's high-
ly possible, we agree, that tho
Post Office can put over this
proposal with Congress in spite
of the opposition of the Budget
Bureau, but everyone also admits
that no other agency has a ghost
of a chance to get similar author-
{zation from Congress unless tho
President would go to bat for it.

F.D.R. Interested

The inside word is that the
President is definitely interested
in a plan to pay Federal workers
higher salaries—either through
bonuses, highér elassificatio
ay for overtime—but appa
he doesn’t believe the time is ripo
for it at the moment, Whether
the Post Office plan was taken
to the President and the President
disapproved of it couldn't be defi-
nitely ascertained, However, it’s
doubtful,

Unions Step Up Drive

Meantime, the fight for higher
salaries goes forward, The United
Federal Workers of America, the
cIo

Government.” em-
is circulating petitions
pay for overtime, Na-
tional Federation of Fedetal Em-
ployees, independent union, and
the American Federation of Goy-
ernment Employees, AFL,
also have stepped up their drives
for higher salaries in some forms.
NFFE wants pay for overtime
and also a salary adjustment
based on the increased cost of
living. AFGE is demanding 4
“bonus of $240 be paid to
“white-collar” employees.

TRAINING

Typists Into
Teletypists

WASHINGTON. —The United
States Civil Service Commission
announced last week that, because
of a serious shortage of trained
teletype operators, a plan has
been developed by which Federal
agencies may select Federal typ-
ists for training Im this particular
skill.

A plan for training has been
worked out after consultation be-
tween the Civil Service Commis-
sion and representatives of tele-
phone companies, .

Principal provisions of the plan:

(1) The selection of trainees from
departments and agencies with
demonstrated ability to type accu-
rately at a minimum speed of 60
words per minute; 3

(2) The selection of trainees with
apparent suitability for effectively
operating teletype equipment;

(3) A brief period of training by
the telephone company of the num-
ber of operators needed by the Gov-
ernment service,

Will Get Practice

Upon completing the training
course under the supervision of
the telephone company, trainces,
before being placed in a higher
grade, will be given practice by
the employing company or depart-
ment for at least 100 hours during
a perlod not to exceed two
months.

‘The telephone company, because
of its extensive teletypewriter fa-
cilities, has agreed to notify the
associated telephone companies of
the plan developed. In this man-
ner, the field divisions of the va-
rious Federal departments and
agencies will be able to work out
training plans with lecal telephone
companies,

Vacancies caused by the upgrad-
ing of trainees into teletype oper-
ator positions from typist posi-
tions will be filled by the Com-
mission from its lists of eligible
typists,

WAR

D.C. War Agencies
May Do Own Hiring

WASHINGTON. —The growing
shortage of manpower is quite
likely to cause a further breaking
down of civil service rules and
regulations, It’s reported in
Washington that the Civil Serv-
ice Commission may give author
ity to the various war agencies to
hire persons for the duration re
gardless of civil service status.
Such a plan is known to have
been up for study,

Purpose behind the plan is to
permit the war agencies to hire
thousands of people in the District
off Columbia and surrounding
States instead of bringing peor!*
here from far-away States.
other words, the quota system
would be more or less suspended.
The plan would not affect th?
field services, where the meri
system has been holding up pretty
well in the face of war.

CIVIL SERVICE IN NEW YORK CITY

TESTS

Why Do They Want
ToBe Conductors?

Talk to the applicants for con-
guctor and trackman out there in
‘ long line in front of the Mu-
nicipal Civil Service Commission
offices at 96 Duane Street, and
you quickly become certain of one
thing: these people want to get
, civil service job and security—
ecurity to last them through
these war years,

Many wanted “any sort of a
job" and were willing to become
, trackman as well as conductor,
‘Then, again, a lot of them were
specific, They even were specifio
enough to point out that ‘'the de-
fonse job situation isn’t so hot.’”
These were the words of Frank
jarone, of 2123 Hone Avenue, the
uonx, a moving van driver.

Tried to Get Steel Job

I tried to get a job at Bethle-
hem Steel in some sort of defense
work,” he said, shivering in the
cold, “but they couldn’t offer me
\ thing. Just isn't anything, they
uid. I read in The LEADER of
this conductor-trackman tests and
maybe I can get myself placed as
, conductor. Of course, any sort
of job might be better than the

» I've got. But I'd like it to
in civil service, I'd like to
| I've got a good job with not

too much chance of losing it while
all this is going on in the world,”

Ed Weinstein, of 3806 3rd Ave-
nue, the Bronx, was not certain
just what sort of job he wanted,
“Conductor job?” he asked,

Then that's for me. Trackman?
I'll take a shot at that, too.” Ed
hasn't done any regular work
since 1938, when he was an er-

rand boy for a manufacturing
house. “I'm tired of dribs and
irabs,’* he said. ‘Give me a

civil service job—any sort of job,
and it's ok, with me.”

Money in the Bank

A packer in a meat house until
a few months ago, Salvatore Mat-
tera, of 171 Kent Street, Brook-
lyn, was interested because ‘I'd
like very much to get into civil
service, All my friends tell me
that's a good way to get some
money in the bank,"”

Albert Feldman, of 2453 East
2ist Street, Brooklyn, wanted to
be a conductor, too, Until a year
aso, he worked in a fur house,
"L tried to get a job if an am-
munition plant—defense work, you
know," he explained, “but they
didn't have anything for me, So

Trackmen at work, This is the job for which thousands of New York men stood in the cold before
the Civil Service Commission last week and waited for applications. Duties of the trackman in-

clude maintenance, inspection, and repair of subway,

and that isn’t all. Salary for this work is 63c to 83c an hour.

There will be a physical test and a written test.

here I am. service looks
good to me."*

Raymond Daly, of 2955 Brigh-
ton 5th Street, Brighton Beach,
was seeking to get a job as a
conductor but, he pointed out,
“I'd rather work in private in-
dustry. After all, the chances of
getting more dough in a hurry are
slim in civil service.” Mr. Daly
is employed as a clerical worker.

“I tried to get a defense job,
but there are none, they tell me,”
complained Albert Richardson, of
1894 8th, Avenue, Manhattan, who
was seeking a conductor's job.
“Civil service or private industry,
it’s the same to me. A job’s a
job.” Until eight months ago, he
was a bootblack,

Civil

Wants Security

Frank Masone, of 567 Chauncey
Street, Brooklyn, a WPA worker,
was looking for a conductor's po-
sition, He ‘wanted a chance to
get some security and decent
pay.” Sure, he tried to get a de-
fense job. But the outlook was

Conductor Test
About April 25

Conductor candidates have five
weeks to prepare for the written
part of their examination, tenta-
tively scheduled for April 25)
This is the date which has been
definitely set for the mental ex-
‘amination for those employees of
the subways who are taking the
promotion test for conductor,
‘There is a slight possibility, how-
ever, that another date may be
set for the mental test for the
Open-competitive candidates be-
cause of the unusually large num-
ber who have filed,

Written Test is First Hurdle
The mental examination is only
the first hurdle conductor as-
pirants will have to jump, The
Physical test will count as much
4s the written in determining the
candidate's average. So fax, the
Civil Service Commission has not
cided exactly what kind of a

“ductor examination,

‘The severity
of the physical test will depend
oo the number of candidates left
When the mental exam is over.

As reported in The LEADER
last week, Paul M. Brennan, di-

rector of the physical and medical
bureau of the Commission stated
that the physical test -will not be
as severe as the ‘‘superman’’
physical tests given for sanitation
man and fireman, The physical
test for trackman is expected to
be tougher than the one for con-
ductor, because of the heavier na-
ture of the work assigned to
trackman, Strength will be an
important factor in the trackman
physical as trackmen are required
to lift heavy weights,

One indication of what the phys-
ical examination for conductors
may be like is seen in the recent
physical exam held for court at-
tendants, a job with requirements
similar to the conductor require-
ments, Court attendants, like
conductors, had to be five feet
six inches in height, the minimum
height required for any uniformed
job in the city service. Like con-
ductors, court attendants were al-
so permitted to wear glasses and
had to have 20/30 vision in both
eyes with the aid of the glasses.

What the Court Boys Did

Court attendants were required
to lift 60-pound dumbbells in each
hand, chin the bar five times and
jump over a rope 3 feet eight
inches high for perfect scores in
three parts of their physical test.
Passing marks in these stunts
were the lifting of a 50-pound
dumbbell with one hand and 40
with the other, a 3-time chinning
of the bar, and the clearing of 3
feet on the high jump. In two
other stunts court attendants were
tested on machines to determine
the strength of their backs and
legs. In the sixth part of their
physical test, court attendants had
to lay on the ground in a reclin-

wholly indefinite. Civil service
looked like the answer.

Joe Husch, of 1559 209th Street,
St. Albans, who drives a bus to
make a living, thought the con-
ductor exam looked attractive
enough “‘to make it worth my
while." Mr, Husch hasn't given
a defense job a thought. He
wants to remain in civil service.

Bernard Boyle, of 585 West 178ih
Street, the Bronx, who is also a
bus driver, was seeking to qualify
as a conductor. ‘Naturally, I
want to stay in civil service;
one of the best ways of making
a_ living,” said he. Defense?
“Haven't had the time to get
around to it.”

Steve Bitto, of 430 East 105th
Street, Manhattan, wanted “to
take a crack at that trackman
exam.” He drives a cab and
wants “to see how good this civil
service can be."”

The conductor's job appealed to
Gus Bueck, of 218-58 100th Ave-

just as eager to qualify as a
trackman. He has been doing odd
jobs to “keep things going.”

A machinist until a month ago,
Frank Di Angelo, of 43 Power
Street, Brooklyn, was interested
in getting either a trackman’s or
conductor's position. He ‘‘natu’
ally was interested in civil ser
ice.”" He “hadn't yet gotten
around to trying for a defense
job.”

Joe Russo, of 339 East 108th
Street, Manhattan, who is unem-
ployed, wanted to qualify as a
conductor, He was a chauffeur
up to two years ago. “It doesn’t
matter where I work, just as long
as I work," said he.

Tired of Vegetables

And Louis Mannetti, of 297
Stockton Street, Brooklyn, want-
ed a conductor's job ‘because I'm
tired of dealing with vegetables,
and civil service looks swell in
comparison.”

Promotion?

Will Department of Sanitation
laborers be admitted to the next
promotion test for Sanitation
Man, Class B?

This was u question asked of
the Civil Service Commission by
George Torre, president of the
Association of Competitive Em-
ployees. The following was re-
ceived from Norman J. Powell,
director of the Civil Service Com-
mission's bureau of research:

“I may point out that laborers
were admitted to the examination
held July, 1941, for promotion to
sanitation man, class A, and sani-
tation man, class B, The exam-
ination announcement for the
latter title contained the state-
ment ‘Laborers are admitted to
this examination by reason of the
needs of the service and their
admission to this examination
shall not be deemed as a prece-
dent to future action in this re-
gard.’ Because of the recency of
this test it is unlikely therefore
that a promotion test to sanita-
tion man, class B, will be held
for some time, No general policy

LISTS

NoCommissioners,
No Lists

Three city lists which would
haye been declared ready for use

the law requires at least two com-
missioners to give their O.K, on
a list before it's made public,

available this week, Ferdinand Q.
Morton. The other two, Paul J.
Kern and Wallace 8, Sayre, were

Supermen Want
Conductor Jobs

The supermen, who know how
to rear, are rearing again, This
time its about the conductor Jobs,
Says the Santtation Hligibles As-
sociation, through its president,
John Bendetti: ‘There are a
number of conductor jobs to be
filled now, and there will be more
to be filled before the new list
comes out. We heve had a prom-
ise of those jobs, And that prom-
ise should be kept, Besides, who
would make better conductors
than we sanitation eligibles?”

‘These jobs are among the many
matters which will be taken up
at the February meeting of the
Sanitation Bligibles’ Association,
on Friday, February 27,

Another thing will be ways and
means of convincing the budget
authorities that the Sanitation
Department should be brought up
to full strength, The department
is short 600 men, and it’s antici-
pated the shortage will reach
1,000 by August or September,

PAY RAISES

Considered for
Low-Paid Workers

‘That much sought pay raise for
city employees was still gravely
doubtful this week but, insisted
‘assistant Budget Director Thomas
J, Patterson, wage boosts for the
most underpaid city employees
‘are still being seriously consid-
ered.” Indeed, Mr, Patterson in-
dicated keen progress is being
made in the study of the lower
salary brackets.

Mr. Patterson promptly denied
the authenticity of a report The
LEADER picked up'in the Board
of Estimate office to the effect
that the pay raise question will
never come up at all in any shape,
manner and form, as far ag offi-
cial consideration for it is con.
cerned,

Conferences Daily

You can say there are confer-
ences being held daily on combi-
nations of figures,” said Mr. Pate
terson, adding, “and the study of
salaries in the lower brackets is
really occupying a lot of our time,
Adjustments have been made be-
fore in the lower salary ranges,
you know, and they can be made
again,”

Of course, much hinges on tho
disposition of submitted estimates
for the departmental budgets. Mr.
Patterson did say ‘there's a
chance and only a chance" that
any increases may be announced
before the budgets officially come
before the Board of Estimat
April 1, He indicated Mayor La-
Guardia, for instance, could come
out at any time in favor of a
boost,

Meanwhile, the Comptroller's
offico maintained a calm silence
about the whole thing, content to
permit the budget director's of-
fice to take the lead in the matter,

Citywide organizations contin-
ued to press for pay increases
down the line, with a post eard
campaign still going along at a
rapid pace,

LONG WEEK

The News Behind
The No-News

Dynamic ‘Butch’ LaGuardia
this week was about to indulge
in a boisterous mayoralty meal:
eat his words, Then, suddenly,
he decided he wouldn't eat them
after all.

Net result: ‘Butch's'’ pet six-
day week for municipal employees
was momentarily called off in one
city department and possibly
others; In the same whirlwind
fashion, it was on again,

‘The trouble; ‘“Butch’s’’ decision
Was publicized—contrary to his
Wish—and he decided that, if he
couldn't eat his words quietly, he
wouldn't eat them at all.

But Butch’ had already been

The Reason for a Raise

Sirs:

To give you some idea of how we, in the City service,

feel about the $180 increment we are asking for, I, for one, have
expressed myself as follows to the Mayor:
When prices are high and sugar is scarce,

And pineapple juice is like gold,

When the City is thinking of raising the fares,
I think it is time to get “bold.”

We're asking you for a yearly One-Kighty,

Which is weekly three point Forty-si:

Won't you help to boost the morale of a lady,
And raise us all out of the sticks?

BEATRICE PODELL,
Department of Welfare.

heard grinding enamel against
syllables and licking a concoction
of verbiage and pituitary juice,
in rescinding his six-day order
temporarily,

Here's the news behind the no-
news, pieced together from many
sources:

Calls In Commissioner

1, “Butch,” depressed by raging
unpopularity of his long week or-
der, called in the head of a major
city department, confiding that an
arrangement really ought to be
worked out at everybody's leisure
to allow city employees in that
department to have alternate Sat-
urdays off, Of course, this would
amount to the old five and one-
half-day week, but “Butch” at
least would have the satisfaction
of knowing that the six-day bogey
still existed in some innocuous
form. He was only trying to say
it with synonyms.

2. The Commissioner was in-
formed by “hizzoner"’ that every-
thing was to be done softly. It
nobody on the outside knew what
one or more departments were
doing, nobody would stir up any
tempests, Somehow, the six-day
week might be slid out from un-
der with practically no tension
and no publicity,

This commissioner, and others,
were told they could allow their
employees either Lincoln's or
Washington's birthdays off, too;
that this part of the arrangement
didn’t have to be kept a secret.

Result of the whole business?
The report was made public prop-
erty and “Butch”? went right back
into hiding again,

Now They Deny It

Further results: All the com-
missioners this week, including
the one the mayor is said to have
spoken to, summarily denied the
existence of any mayorality order
to abolish the six-day week,

The heads of Welfare, Sanita-
tion, Public Works, Purchase,
Parks, and Water Supply, for in-
stance, said they never heard of
any such order, The Municipal
Civil Service Commission said it
hadn't heard of anything of the
kind, Even Lester Stone, the
Mayor's secretary, and Captain
James Hartin, aide to the Mayor,
insisted they were in the dark,

Holiday Ban

Is Eased

The easing up on the holiday
ban was received by the depart-
ments in their own individual
ways,

Exactly half the force in Pur-
chase was off Lincoln's Birthday,
and the others will have Wash-
ington's Birthday off. Employees
were permitted to choose the day
they wanted,

Half of

Sanitation’s clerical

workers were off on Lincoln's
Birthday. The outside workers
couldn't get off with less than
five hours work, and that will go
on Washington's Biithday, too.

Public Works Mixed Up

Public Works was rather mixed
up about the whole thing. Some
sections were left with skeleton
staffs and some had half the per-
sonnel missing on Lincoln's Birth-
day. That means that some
workers will get Washington's
Birthday off, too. Some chose
to work, others were assigned.

Welfare split the day as em-
ployees chose among themselves
about 50-50. Water Supply had an
even split, too, but were assigned
their holidays off, as was Parks.

last week for helping New York-

liminary stages by tall, velvety
William Hodson, Commissioner of
Welfare, is a basis for emergency

Ask Deferment
Of Firemen

Another letter appealing for the
deferment of firemen was re-

ceived by local draft board mem-
bers late last week, Previously,
local selective service officials had
received a communication from
Commissioner Walsh of the Fire
Department on the same subject,

Last week's letter was signed
by William Baybrooks, acting
chairman of the fire prevention
committee of the City Defense
Council, and endorsed by forty
members of the Mayor's business
advisory committee, In his letter
Mr. Baybrooks said:

“Under the peculiar conditions
prevailing in New York, adequate

protection against fire danger
cannot be afforded by untrained
and inexperienced men, We ap-

peal to you for assistance in se-
curing the deferment of members
of the uniformed fire-fighting

for We feel that these ex-
perienced men are vitally needed
here, where they can be of the
greatest possible service,

“Moreover, in view of the large
number of men available for mil-
itary training, the deferment of
these firemen could not possibly
result in any loss to the military
forces at the present time."

In his recent letter to the same
draft board members, Fire Chief
and Commissioner Patrick Walsh
said:

“Lam making a personal appeal
to your board to defer firemen,

am doing this because I sin-
cerely believe that, in the interest
of public safety, these men should
be kept in New York City as
members of the Fire Department,
To send these men to camps
means that we are depleting our
fire-fighting forces. It means
that our protection, the protection
of our citizens, is being lessened,”

through the past few hectic years
of depression, expansion, and

war, today sits on what are com-
monly known as pins and needles,

His $8,500-a-year job as presi-
dent of the Municipal Civil Ser
vice Commission hangs in th
balance, depending on the word
of Mayor Fiorello H, La Guardia,
for whom Kern once worked as
law secretary and whose protege

Kern has long been considered,
Along with his professional col-
league, Dr. Wallace S. Sayre,

Kern was suspended a week ago
Friday, answered removal charges
last Monday, and today wonders
whether Mayor LaGuardia will
actually remove them from office.

Meanwhile, four names have
been mentioned by City Hall inti-
mates as possibilities for the
tough job of Civil Service Com-
missioner, Elinore Herrick,
regional director of the NLRB
odhue Livingston, Jr., secre
tary of the Health Department;

ENDLY SERVICE

unusual vale
ptional service

Welfare Commissioner Hodson

has devised a plan for feeding

and housing New Yorkers in

case war strikes the city. Wel-

fare employees will help do
the job.

H. Eliot Kaplan, Executive Sec-
retary of the Civil Service Re-
form Association, and Michael
White, Secretary of the Hospitals
Department,

But win, lose or draw, no one in
the city today denies that Paul
Kern has crossed the threshold
of a new turn in his career,

If the Mayor returns Kern to
his office at 209 Broadway, the
Civil Service head goes back on
the job with the enormous
prestige of having told LaGuardia
off and gotten away with it,
‘This is the same LaGuardia who
has been quoted so often as say-
ing that he argues only with ex-
commissioners,

Backed by Many Groups

It Kern is finally removed, ha
leaves office with the cheers of
many forces amidst the cat-calls.
He leaves office only after such
powerful reform groups as tho
Citizens Union and the City Af-
fairs Committee have taken his
side as against the Mayor, Ho
leaves office with a number of
legal arguments bolstering a pro-
test against the removal that will
probably be taken right up to the
Court of Appeals, And he leaves
office with a reputation for
courage that has come from
friends and enemies alike,

The Hearing

Last week's public hearing, one
of the city's chief topics of lunch-
table talk these past seven days,
started off dramatically.

As soon as the principals had
seated themselves in the Mayor's
office in City Hall, Mayor La-
Guardia read a list of charges
against the three-member Com-
mission, He asserted, in essense,
that a news release issued by the
Commission on Thursday before
was inaccurate, and tended to
bring disrespect and loss of con-
fidence upon the city's chief legal

officer, Corporation Counsel Wil-
Mam C, Chanler,
Morton First to Answer

First to answer was Ferdinand
Q. Morton, Negro, highly - re-
spected Democrat, occupant of a
position in the Commission for a
generation, Shaking, obviously
still unrecovered from the illness
that had kept him abed the pre-
ceding several days, Morton ex-
plained that he had not been at
the meeting that approved the re-
lease. LaGuardia exonerated him,
and sent him back to 299 Broad-
way with the comment that tho
Commission has been without a
commissioner long enough.

Then S. Stanley Kreutzer, at-
torney for Kern and Sayre, en-
gaged in a brief battle with the
Mayor on the legality of the pro-
ceedings. After peace had been
made, Kreutzer read a long list
of legal objections that will prob-
ably be recited again should the
matter come to court,

But these preliminaries were
speedily forgotten as the tall,
blond Kern rose to his feet. ‘This
was the same Kern who had been
buffeted for years by news-
papers and investigating commit-
tees, about to have his day in
court,

Audience Spell-Bound

For the ensuing hour, Kern
kept spell-bound the audience of
reporters, city ‘officials, and rep-
resentatives of Civil Service or-
ganizations, He first launched a
defense of his record as president
of the city's Civil Service Com-
mission, explained the events
leading up to the issuance of the
news release, hinted at “other
reasons’ for his removal, read a
record of alleged misdeeds against
the merit system on the part of
Chanler’s Law Department.

Then, with Mayor LaGuardia
but three feet in front of him,
Kern let loose an attack on the
Mayor himself, Sarcastic, mild,
friendly, jocular, angry, even his-
trionic, Kern accused the Mayor
of deserting the liberal cause for
which he once stood,

While the reporters scribbled
furiously, Kern conjured up one
pithy phrase after another:

“The fawning sycophants who
now surround you will some day

PARK TOPICS

By B, R. MEEHAN

Park Foreman Cited
For Heroism

Today we devote a portion of
our column space to cite an ex-
emplary bit of police work per-
formed by the recently appointed
Park Foreman Aaron Hershko-
witz, He has been the recip-
ient of a civilian police citation
from Police Commissioner Lewis
J. Valentine, and a departmental
commendation for an act of hero-
ism from Commissioner Robert 8.
Moses for apprehending a fleeing
criminal,

It all began when Hershkowitz
pursued and overpowered a bur-
glar who was fleeing from an
apartment house at 527 East 84th
Street, Manhattan, While en route

in a taxicab to the 23rd pre-
cint, a struggle ensued, with
the thief breaking loose, and

jumping from the car. The chase
was soon on again, ‘The thief was
once again overpowered in an
apartment vestibule on  &7th

Street, between First and Second
Avenues, but worked himself loose
again and was finally outsmarted
by Hershkowitz at 87th Street and
Bast End Avenue, He was then
taken to Gracie Mansion in Carl
Schurz Park and held until police
arrived,

After the prisoner had been
turned over to the police authori-
ties Foreman Hershkowitz re-
turned to the park area where the
thief was first apprehended, and
found numerous articles of jewel-
ry, consisting of a pearl necklace,
silver cigarette cases, fraternity
pins, compacts and several other
articles, all of which were identi-
fied by the owner of the apart-
ment which had been burglarized,

Commissioner Robert Moses,
when informed of the feat, ex-
pressed his personal commenda-
tion for this noteworthy act. The
department, he said, “is proud to
recognize such exceptional per-
formance of an individual em-
ployee. I am sorry that budget-
ary and Civil Service rules do not
permit of material recognition of
such an act.”’

Female Park
Attendants Dine

The annual dinner dance of the
Women Park Attendants was
held at Chin's Restaurant, 44th
Street and Broadway, Manhattan,
on Monday evening, Feb. 16th,

2,778 names, Although many ap.
pointments as street-car operators
in the Board of Transportation
have been made from this list,
comparatively few appointments
haye been made to positions of
auto engineman, Departments jn
which Mr. Spiegel will attempt to
replace employees working out of
title with auto engineman eli,
gibles are Parks, Police, Fire, and

which is handling this situation

Woodside, L, I., and Vincent J:
Cacace, 80 Acacia Avenue, Great
Kills, Staten Island, All eligibles
on the list are urged by the com.
mittee to attend the next meeting.

Court Calls
Commission Wrong

Paul J. Kern was hit from an.
other source late last week when
the Appellate Division ruled that
the Commission had no right ig.
noring its own ‘regulations and
changing rules governing a civil
service test,

“The Commission, as a matter
of convenience, chose to ignore its
own regulation in order to provide
more candidates to meet the needs
of the service,” the court held in
an opinion written by Associate
Justice Albert Cohn, ‘This it may
not do, The rules of the Municipal
Civil Service Commission, having
the force and effect of law, must
be respected to the same degree."

The court made its ruling in a
suit by John Poss and eight other
provisionals of the Department of
Public Works, holding that tho
Commission's dictum “frus
trated’’ competition required by
the State Constitution and Civil
Service Law.

The court, sustained a decision
by Supreme Court Justice Denis
O'Leary Cohalan directing the
Commission to cancel four eligible
lists for stationary engineer, to
vacate appointments made from
the list and to hold a new series
of exams for the job.

Still Another
Attendant Test?

The number of persons who
have applied to become hospital
attendants exceeds the figure of
the hospital attendant test of last
December, The written exam is
February 28,

But the fact remains that the
number who filed did not come up
to expectations, and there is a
possibility another test may be
held, ‘The turnover in the depart-
ment, it was announced, has been
large, with war industries attract-
ing many workers from their
jobs, and selective service cutting
into the remaining ranks, This

turnover is constantly increasing,
too

he complete results of the test
v in the offing will deterraine
definitely whether or not another
exam will be held,

About 5,000 Apply

Not quite 5,000 persons are ex-
pected to take the current test,
which looms as relatively simple,

Minimum qualifications include
a knowledge of reading and writ-
ing English and of elementary
arithmetic, an aptitude for exer-
cising and getting along with in-
mates of State hospitals, and a
slight knowledge of keeping writ-
ten record:

The jobs start at $54 a month
and reach $66, with maintenance.
Husbands and wives may have
their own quarters,

The hospitals in which, appli-
cants may be placed are the Man-
hattan State and Brooklyn State
Hospitals, in Manhattan and
Brooklyn, respectively; the Psy-
chiatric Institute, in Manhattan;
Central Islip; Pilgrim State, and
Kings Parke State in Long Island;
Creedmoor in Queens Village, and
Rockland State in Westchester
County;

‘The test will be held at the High
School of Commerce, 155 West
85th Street, Manhattan.

State Employees Demand Pay Adjustment;
Legislators Threaten Reduced Services

ALBANY, — Conflicting pro-
posals which would adversely af-
fect or substantially benefit state
employees were made at the last
budget hearing in the Assembly
Chamber.

Demands upon the legislators
who listened ranged from per-
sonnel reduction, pay cuts, and
elimination of “high salaried of-
ficials for civilian defense” to
petitions for more pay, extension
of the increment law, and war
“bonuses.”

On the economy side, Walter M.
Franklin, president of the Cit-
izens Public Expenditure Survey,
a private taxpayer group, urged
these budget savings:

“Reduction of five percent in
expenditures for personal service
throughout all departments, to
save $3,700,000; leaving positions
of men called into military service
unfilled; requiring other em-
Ployees to work extra hours to
make up for loss in personnel, a

Governor Is Guest

Of State Association

ALBANY. —Governor and
Mrs. Herbert H. Lehman were
guests of the Association of
State Civil Service Employees,
at its 24th annual dinner, at
the DeWitt Clinton Hotel, Wed-
nesday. Other guests included
State Comptroller Joseph V.
O'Leary; J. Buckley Bryan, the
Budget Director; Senators Joe
Hanley and John J. Dunnigan,
and Assemblyman Abbot Low
Moffat, Ways and Means chatt-
man,

In the Future

The State law says that titles
of open competitive tests request-
ed by departments and institu-
tions must be publicly announced
for 15 days before the State Civil
Service Commission takes action.
During this period employees who
believe there is a field for promo-
tion to the title are urged to com-
muntcate with the State Com-
mission. ‘The following titles are
now being advertised (the date
denotes when the fifteen days are
up):

Ted. 18 — Niagara Sanatorium,
Junior Dietician.

Feb. 18—Niagara Sanatorium,
Dietician.

Feb, 18—State Insurance Fund,
Senior personnel administrator.

pital, Assistant physician,

Feb. 20-St. Lawrence County,

Federalization

“Injustices
ALBANY. — Repercussions of
President Roosevelt's orders

transferring the placement sec-
tion of the State Employment In-
surance Division to Federal ser-
vice, last January 1, were heard
in the Legislature this week in
the form of a resolution urging
the correction of personnel “in-
justices."”

‘The resolution, introduced by
Assemblyman Malcolm Wilson,
Westchester Republican, pointed
out that more than 2,000 former
state employees in the placement
iffices are now working side by
side in the same offices with fel-
low employees who remained in
the insurance portion of the
DPUI.

The placement employees on
the Federal payroll are denied
their former rights as state em-
ployees and are deprived of a
number of privileges enjoyed by
the state employees working with
them, Wilson says.

“These former state employees,
now on the Federal payroll re-
ceive no credit for over-time, no
holidays, work an extra day each
week, receive no sick leave, re-
ceive deductions for tardiness,

practice in effect in Washington
and New York City.

Mr. Franklin also recommended:

‘Establishing a maximum vaca-
tion period to two weeks; estab-
lishing minimum sick-leave with
pay; elimination of employees
whose services may be curtailed
without serious harm; reverse the
trend toward a multitude of high
salaried officials for civilian de-
fense and restore a greater meas-
ure of volunteer service; amend-
ment of the military law to dis-
continue differential pay for state
employees in military service.

Says Immorality Exists

The other side was represented
by spokesmen of state workers
including Eugene F. Helbig, presi-
dent of Creedmoor Local, State,
County, and Municipa) Workers,
CIO, who urged that all state in-
stitution employees be brought
under ‘the Feld-Hamilton career
law, with its guaranteed annual
Pay rises. He also revealed that
he had addressed an open letter
to clergymen of the state, setting
forth alleged immoral conditions

Kondrat Discusses
Pay-Raise Bills

ALBANY.—Last week, Ernest J
Lonis, Oswego Republican, told a
LEADER reporter that nobody
had appeared in support of the
Barrett and Catenaccio bills to
raise pay levels of mental hygiene
employees at a public hearing be-
fore the Public Health Com-
mittee of which he is chairman
One of the Barrett bills would
permit employees to receive com-_
mutation when living outside in-
stitutions for other reasons than
ing’ and another
would put all employees under the
Feld-Hamilton classification law,
including nurses who would be
grouped in the sub-professional |
service class. The Catenaccio bill |
would give all employees in the
institutions flat increases.

Early this week, Bill Kondrat
president of the Brooklyn State
Hospital Employees’ Association,
protested Lonis’ implication that
hospital employees weren't inter-
ested in the bills. Said Kondrat:
“We're very much interested

and have no vacation schedules
arranged,” Wilson charges.

“It is unfair to such Federalized
personnel to be denied rights and
privileges enjoyed by their co.
workers in state employ,’’ he con-
tends. He then proceeds to peti-
tion the Social Security Admin-
istration, the U. S, Secretary of
Labor, and the U. 8, Civil Ser-
vice Commission “to promulgate
regulations rectifying these con-|
ditions to conform to the New
York State regulations affecting
the insurance personnel in the
DPUI."

and employee abuses in the state
hospitals, and had asked for as-
sistance in obtaining a legislative
investigation. Numerous other
speakers commented in the same
vein,

One of the clergymen interested
in the situation outlined by Mr.
Helbig, indicated in a letter, is
the Rev. J. W. Moldenhawer, for-
merly of Albany, now pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church of
New York Ci

Harold J. Fisher, president of
the State Civil Service Employees
Association, said 80 per cent of
state employees get under $2,000
a year and that “it is simply im-
possible for those in these wage
brackets to absorb rapidly-rising
living costs." He said there are
over 1,500 job vacancies in state
hospitals and people will not take
them—at state wages. There is
no such thing as “‘overtime'’ com-
pensation for state employees, he
said. He advocated adoption of
the Association’s pay rise plan
based on percentage increases in
line with changes in living costs.

ene Notes

Our delegation Albany
week was told that the Barrett
bills were in the Ways and Means
Committee, and that the hearing
would be postponed, We're for
the Barrett bill containing the
Feld-Hamilton provisions, We're
against the Catenaccio bills be-
cause they are badly drawn, and
the increases vary in an unfair
manner.”"

ties, increase the need for women's
service in the care of the sick and
in the maintenance of health. As
trained nurses are called into the
Army and Navy services in larger
numbers, the civilian population
requires, as well as the Army and

Navy. hospitals, the  prepar-
ation of qualified individuals to as-
sist with the care of the sick when
the skill of a registered nurse is
not necessary or necessary only for
supervision.

airports, transports traveling es-
tablished routes, heavier and
larger airlines and freight planes

flung networks."?

Mr. Hinckley points out that
“The present defense drive is
creating an aircraft manufactur-
ing industry far beyond the ex-
pectation even of airplane advo-
cates. This vast plant capacity

. will be used when the war
clouds are no longer in the sky.
They will be shifted to the pro-
duction of aircraft for pleasure
and commerce which far surpass
in efficiency, comfort and
economy anything we have yet
seen,""

Training Now

Those who take training now,
says Mr. Hinckley, ‘will be a
part of this future program. It
is truly said that aircraft instru-
ments are the ‘heart and lungs’
of the entire aircraft industry,
According to recent surveys made
among aircraft instrument manu-
facturers, airlines, and instru
ment service stations, installers
and technicians are needed at
once.""

Stephen Bass, of the Eastern
Aireraft Instrument School, 100
West 42d Street, Manhattan, and
116 Newark Avenue, Jersey City,
N. J., adds that any man between
17 and 50 without any previous
technical training may easily
master this field and qualify for
many positions now open,

Pay Raises Overdue

ND talking about salaries: In all services—New
York City, New York State, Federal—there has
L \ been fine talk about the necessity of raising sal-
aries: O, nobody is against it, far from it... but that’s
all it has been, just fine talk, .. , Salary adjustments
are bogged down in a morass of talk. It begins to look
as if the kindly words are designed for the very pur-
pose of postponing or preventing increases. In the Fed-
eral service, Ramspeck pay-promotion increases were
authorized months ago. They were a pittance compared
to the need, but where is even that pittance? In the New
York City service, a City Council committee specifically
asked the Board of Estimate to do something about
raises. What has the Board done? Nothing. The only
glimmer comes out of the Comptroller’s Office — a
statement that wages in the lowest brackets “might” be
raised,
It’s time to stop muddling along, gentle:nen These
pay adjustments are overdue, and everybody knows it.

What About
Engineers?

Sirs: There are many city and
state engineering departments
which are or will be forced to
reduce their staffs or shut down
completely due to curtailments of
materials, supplies and equipment

made necessary by war production
demands,

While all this is going on, our
Federal Government is badly in
need of this talent for war work.
But, unfortunately, most of these
technicians can poorly afford to
leaye their homes to join the
many far-flung government agen-
cies because of the cost Involved
in moving their families, or the
extra expense (not to count the
inconvenience) of living apart
from them, Moreover the city
and state offices that are losing
these trained men will find them-
selves much disorgapized and op-

erating at a great loss when this
emergency is over and a quick
return to peace-time work will be
essential,

Therefore it is suggested that:

The State Legislature pass a law
permitting the various City and
State departments, during the
duration of the war emergendy,
to accept and perform suitable
engineering and architectural
projects from the Federal Gov-
ernment on tne basis of cost or
for commensurate stipulated
sums,

By doing this the civil service
employees will be greatly aided,
the respective city and state or-
ganizations will be saved from dis-
ruption and the Federal Govern-
ment will be able to procure with-
out delay the invaluable services
of established well-organized tech-
nical staffs for its pressing war
work,

8, B. ARISON, P.E.
H. G. SHOCKLEY, P.E,
Don't you feel that the Federal
Government should employ Its
own engineers, under its own su-

rangements with 48 separate

. with varying administra-
tions? What do other readers
think?—Kd,

LIEUT, WILLIAM F. MALEY
looks, at first glance, like a small-
er edition of James A. Farley.
Even acts the same way. Hearty,
pleasant manner; makes you feel

immediately at ease; discusses his
work with enthusiasm.

Lieut. Maley is one of the
shortest men ever to enter the
Police Department. He's 5 feet
7% inches, and that’s one-half
inch below the present-day height
minimum, He's grown since, and
now stands 5 feet 9% inches. But
“it can’t be done” apparently
isn’t a phrase in Lieut. Maley’s
experience, He decided he wanted
to be cop—he had been apprentic-
ing as a foreign banker—and so
he beceme a cop. The physical
exam —climbing ladders, lifting
weights, chinning the bar—proved
no hindrance, though Bill had
been a sickly lad.

He overcame the disadvantages
of a puny body much as Roose-
velt I did, He performed all
those things which puny persons
aren't supposed to do. He did
hard work. He went into the
Field Artillery of the National
Guard. He devised a careful cam-
paign for building himself up
physically, and followed through
on it. You would never imagine
that the ruddy, robust man who
sits behind a desk at 400 Broome
Street and handles hundreds of
details about civilian defense, was
ever a sickly child,

How He Became a Cop

Bill's persistence about becom-
ing a member of the police force
carries a lesson for those men
who plan to take the forthcoming
New York City test for patrol-
man. Determined that despite his
small size and weight he would
succeed, young Maley studied the
exercises carefully, then began

QUESTION

Men

performing with home-made con.
trivances, To build up his mus.
cles for weight-lifting, he began
by lifting laundry irons, and grad.
ually increased the lift.

Maley entered the Police De.
partment in 1916 and was assigned
to the Commissioner's office ay
confidential investigator. Two
years later, with America at war,
he entered the Navy and was as.
signed to Naval Intelligence,
where both his police and Nation:
al Guard work stood him in good
stead, He remained with tho
Navy 18 months, and one of the
jobs he worked on during this
period was the infamous ‘'2s0
Broadway scandal,” where somo
200 men had paid to beat tho
draft. Maley was instrumental in
tracking down the high-ranking
officer inyolved.

Back to the Police Department
Maley donned the patrolman’s
uniform. In 1926, he went to the
Police Academy as, revolver in-
structor. With the exception of
a short period for field experience,
he’s been at the academy ever
since,

In 1926, Maley was on the pro-
motion list to sergeant. During
this period, the number of men in
proportion to officers had been in.
creasing to such an extent that
the efficiency of the department
was endangered. Maley wrote 4
brief on the subject, sent it to the
Commissioner. And 10 hours be
fore the list was to have died, 218
sergeants were appointed—largest
number in the department's his-
tory.

In the academy, Maley went
from revolver instructor to teach-
er of all subjects: rules and reg-
ulations, nivdern criminal investi-
gation, law.

Since June, he’s. been working
exclusively on civilian defense,
He gives talks on various defense
problems, lays out courses of in-
straction for air raid wardens,
aids out-of-towners who want to
know what to do in case it comes
His information has been impart-
ed to officials in California, Hon-
olulu, and even Turkey.

From Maley we learned some.
thing of things to come for air
raid wardens. There are soon go-
ing to be television study pro-
grams over WNBT, and they'll be
called “Fighting the Fire Bomb.”

_The shows will be put on six times

a day, 8 days a week, Wardens—
and the public, too—will be able
to view these cinemized lectures
in all the precincts, Maley an-
ticipates the department can
reach 54,000 wardens at one
smack—the’ largest e!ass in hi
tory! After the lecture, air raid
wardens are going to be given
an exam,

Vital statist Maley is may-
ried, has two daughters, Lives

bernator” in winter; summer he
lays horseshoes a lot. Has a l-
brary of 1,600 books, can quote

for her performance in Orson
Welles’ Mereury production ‘‘Jour-
ney Into Fear,” has been assigned

‘TESTS

Apprentice Boys
Take Two Exams

‘The 1,185 young men who filed
applications for the apprentice,
automotive trades, test in De-
cember will be given their writ-
ten examination at 10 a. m, Sat-
urday, February 28, in Seward
Park High School, Essex, Grand
and Ludlow Streets, Manhattan.

The written examination will
carry a weight of 80 percent, the
physical, 20, Only those who re-
ceive 70 percent on the written
test will be permitted to take the
physical test, Questions on the
written test will be designed to
determine the candidate's apti-
tude for mechanical work,

Must Do Heavy Work

The physical examination will
be a stiff one, Boys who pass this
test will be well qualified to do
the heavy work assigned to ap-
prentices in the automotive repair
shops. The test will consist of
four parts, weight lift, pectoral
squeeze, abdominal muscle lift,
ladder climb. ‘The lifting of a
100 pound weight with two hands
at full arm's length above the
candidates head is required to ob-
tain 100 percent in the weight
lift test. Highty-seven and one-
half pounds will give the prospec-
tive apprentice 88 per cent.
enty-five pounds will net him
7 percent and 60 pounds, 60 per-
cent,

In the abdominal muscle test,
the candidate will lay flat on
his back and ratse himself to a
sitting position, carrying a weight
of 35 pounds behind his neck for
a perfect score. Twenty-five
pounds nets him 85 percent and
15 pounds, 70 percent. The pec-
toral squeeze is a machine test
and the ladder climb is compara-
tively easy,

War Agencies Get
Employee Priority

As predicted by The LEADER,
heads of non-military government
agencies last week were directed
by President Roosevelt in Wesh-
ington to show immediately how
many men they can effectively re-
lease for war work,

The Chief Executive said that
all excess personnel must be re-
routed into defense jobs. The re
sponsibility for eliminating the
functions of non-military agencies
deemed to be unnecessary was left
with Congress.

Agencies which were sufficient’
ly Well staffed on the basis of the
former 39-hour week, and which
are not now saddled with an in
crease in work programs with the
extension of the work week to 44
hours in most government agen+
cies are as a result overstaffes

May Spend More
For Hiring

The amended Postal Guide, in
dealing with authorized expendi-
tures, provides that postmasters

y expend funds for hiring sub-
stitute clerks, carriers, or laborers
whenever necessary without first
obtaining in advance specific au-
thority from the Post Office De-
partment. Emergencies such as
military leave, or civil service, or
jury duty, are mentioned as situa-
tions that may call for such ex-
penditures,

NEW BILLS
Grist In the Mill

If You Work, No Pension

A bill providing that pension,
being paid to city workers be sux,
pended if the pensioner subse,
quently 1» employed by 4
Federal, State or city agency jy
among the new legislation intro,
duced in the City Council,

This ruling would not apply
where the pension or retirement
allowance and the salary or com.
pensation of the employment
total less than $1,200 annually,
Nor would it apply to persons ac.

tively engaged in the armed
forces.

More Pensions for Vets

‘There's an amendment pending
to change the retirement provi.
sions affecting war veterans, too,
It would disturb the current 19
(service)-60 (age) arrangement to
allow retirement at 50 years ot
age at half an individual's high.
est wages during only a 25-year
period of service.

Retired Men for Air Raids

Still speaking of persons under
the pension system, there's a bill
to tie in with Mayor LaGuardia's
announced desire to ‘‘streamline”’
the air raid warden system. It
provides for the appointment of
retired policemen and firemen aa
air raid wardens, at pay to ex.
ceed only slightly their pension
money. Of course, said pension
would disappear for the duration

Once on Per Annum

Of great Interest to employees
in the Department of Health is
the bill providing that those who,
prior to July 1, 1940, were ap-
pointed on a per annum basis ag
physicians, medical inspectors, in-
dustrial medical inspectors, den-
tists, supervising physicians or
assistant physicians, be put back
on that per annum basis. Under
a mayorality order, they were
placed on a per diem basis on
July 1, 1940. The per annum form
of compensation would keep them
coming in for increments,

Civilian Defense Work Counts
‘The definition of city service is
expanded under the bill provid:
ing that service in air raid
warden protection services or as
emergency auxiliary policemen or
firemen in other civilian defense
activities constitute city service.
Thus, such time spent would be
considered in computing an in-
dividual's eligibility for a city
pension,
