following statement on the salary
proposal of the New York State
administration:

The proposals which have
emerged from the long negotia-
tions between State officials and
representatives of the Civil Serv-

have both immediate and
range effects.

The Association's studies show
definitively the need for an over-
all 12 per cent pay increase. While
the Association wholeheartedly
endorses the principles and ob-
jectives of the new plan, it main-
tains and will continue to main-
tain, with all the intensity at its
command, that the proposed ap-
propriation is insufficient to bring
State salaries into proper adjust-
ment.

Moreover, the full extent of the
suggested reallocations for indi-
vidual positions is not now known,
If the contemplated adjustments
are found to be insufficient, the
Association will vigorously con-
tinue its efforts to insure fair and
adequate rates for every employee
of the State.

vision limiting the increase of any
employee in the year beginning
April 1, 1954, to two new incre-
ments. Thus, the net cost to the
State for the first fiscal year of
the plan is $13,200,000,

In succeeding years, the cost of
the plan to the State would rise
substantially.

Those employees who may
dispute their new allocations will
be entitled to appeal; and if they
win their appeals, the resulting
adjustments would be retroactive
to April 1, 1964.

In the new plan, progression
from one grade to another would
be the equivalent of about a five
per cent increase,

fo exempt the first $1,200 of pen-
sion, dividend, rent, annuity, or
other investment income from U.S,
income tax was approved by the
House Ways and Means Commit-
tee. The change would be effec-
tive on 1954 income, on which tax
is due in 1955.

Under present law, there ts no
flat exemption for retirement in-
come. If the pensioner contribu-
ted toward an annuity, he is taxed
on 3 per cent of his investment,
each year, until the difference be-
tween what has paid and what
he otherwise would have paid
equals his investment. Usually full
taxation results in a few years;
meanwhile retirement receipts
themselves are not reported as in-

exemption applicable each year.

bor Jaw. CSEA representatives

contend the present law provides

for no uniformity of hours of
work for municipal, county and
other public employees of the
State. Only the State, with certain

exceptions, has @ basic 40-hour,

government of the State of New
York.
Ulterior Motives Charged

“The entire proceedings by the
respondents (the Commissioner
of Correction, the warden et al.)
were merely an artifice to effect-
uate predetermined punishment
of the petitioners. Ulterior moti-
ves by the respondents controlled
their arbitrary determination.
Such motivation was making
scapegoat examples of the peti-
tioners under the political pres-
sure of the so-called harness
racetrack scandal and the desire
by the Executive Department of
the State to rectify such situation.
If such problem (of purifying
harness race operations) in fact
exists, petitioners urge that the
Executive Department and its ad-
ministrative heads strike
boldly at the sources and true
roots of the evil, but that loyal
employees such as petitioners not
be arbitrarily penalized.”
Not Asked to Resign

Mr. Lange was one of a group
called in by Dr.
Martin, the warden of
Attica, Mr. Callan was not among
them.

The

of

warden said he knew of
Mr. Lange's spare-time employ-
ment at the track, where he
worked principally at a cashier's
window, but while not asking him
to quit that job, remarked it would
be bad taste not to do so in view
of the adverse publicity arisin
out of the Yonkers Raceway situa-
tion, Mr. Lange set forth. He
adds he informed the warden he
would resign his track job im-
mediately.

Thanks, Followed by Charges
warden thereupon  ex-
nks to the peti-
tioner and the others present for
their co-operation,” Mr. Lange
says in the petition

Mr, Callan, on learning of the

conference and its result, also re-

Raceway to Batavia Downs,
signed his position at the Batavia bade

that Joey Pay, a labor leader im-
Downs track.

‘The two guards considered that |Prisoned for extortion, had
giving up the track jobs would|@mong his visitors prominent

end the whole matter.

The conference was held on Oc-
tober 3, 1953. Five days later they
were served with charges of vio-
lating departmental rules, partic-
ularly one that requires permis-
sion to hold an outside job.

Nothing to Be Ashamed Of

The petitioners told the court
that when late John J. Lyons was
Commissioner, he allowed guards
to hold an outside job, if it did
not interfere with their regular
duties and was not against the in+
terest of the State; and it was
permissible to accept such jobs
without special permission, Har- |
ness racing is Hcensed by the
State, which derived $17,500,000
income from it in one year, the
petitioners point out, and fellow-
employees at the track were bank
employees, teachers, policemen
and other persons of high charac-
jter, Since the present Commi:
sioner has not rescinded or modi-
| fled the Lyons order, the petition-
ers considered it still In effect, as
a relaxation of the rule requiring
written permission of the Com-
missioner of Correction, the
guards being trusted to exercise

politicians including State Senator
Arthur H. Wicks. The petitioners

mention the Fay-Wicks situation
as one of the aspects of the in-
quiry that resulted in such sharp
action being taken regarding their
own employment at Batavia
Downs, Mr. Lange worked there
for six years, Mr. Callan for thir-
teen, at night. The petitioners say
that, since their employment
there was known to their su-
pervisors, and particularly the
warden, those are the ones who
should be up on charges for con-
doning the employment

Another accusation against the
two men is that they their ac-
tions tended to bring the Cor-
rection Department into disre-
pute, also forbidden by a depart-
mental rule, through publicizing
their connections with the Batavia
Downs track in newspapers and by
radio, The men say all the pub-
licity was given out by depart-
ment officials, none by themselves,
Even had they done so, it would

ALBANY, Feb. - A cross-
section of voters in the Ninth As-
sembly District approve salary
increases for State workers, ac-
cording to the “Preller Poll,"

The poll, conducted every two
years by Assemblyman Fred W.
Preller, Queens Republican, at
his own expense, seeks to find out
how the voter feels on the main
issues before the Legislature.

59% Favor Pay Rise

This year one of the que:
asked by Mr, Preller was:
service employees contend that
their salaries have not been ade-
quately adjusted to keep pace with
the rising cost of living. The 12
per cent average increase would
cost an estimated $22 million. Do
you favor such an increase?

Of 3,025 replies received so far,
59 per cent favored the increase,
while 41 per cont were agai: it.

Mr, Preller has mailed 16,500
questionnaires in his private poll
to constituents. The favorable re-
sponse from voters on salary in-
creases for State workers is inter-

eted on Capitol Hill as being

ighly significant,

One observer pointed out that

When an Employee
Dies While in Service—

group of interesting, and at the same time somewhat

disturbing facts have been presented to State Comp-
troller J. Raymond McGovern concerning what is known
is “ordinary death benefit” in the retirement scheme. If
a member of the State Retirement System gies while in
active service, one month’s average salary for each year
of service — not exceeding six months — goes to his sur-
vivors. A man may have worked 25 years, but if he dies
even a few days before he is due to retire, his widow would
get only six months’ salary — and that’s all. Two other
public retirement systems (New York City Retirement
System and New York City Teachers Retirement System)
have amended their plans to provide a maximum death
benefit of twelve months’ salary, A more appropriate
death benefit is vital for members of the State Retirement
also. Estimates show that the cost of increasing the present
maximum death benefit from six months to twelve months
would amount to about one-half of one per cent of payroll
for current services.

There are additional good reasons for taking this step.

(A) Studies show that of 100 clerical employees en-
tering service at age 30, some 17 per cent die im active
service, as compared with about 1714 per cent who even-
tually retire or become disabled, Thus, in terms of the
number of employees affected, the death benefit is of equal
importance with the retirement and disability benefit.

(B) Some private industries (General Motors, Socony
Vacuum, American G Eastman Kodak) provide two
years’ salary, In group life insurance purchased by em-
ployers to provide death benefits, the usual practice calls
for one-and-a-half to two years’ salary.

(C) In 1953, 1,000 members of the State Retirement
System died while in active service. Half of thes¢ persons
had twelve years or more of service.

(D) There is a wide disparity between the value of
benefits paid to a member who happens to die shortly
prior to age 55 or 60, as compared with the value of the
pension paid a member who reaches such ages and retires,

John F. Powers, president of the Civil Service Em-
ployees Association, has asked that the present six-months’
ordinary death benefit be modernized to meet changed
conditions and to match the benefits provided by private
industry. He is obviously right, and it should be added that
the present setup hasn’t been changed since 1923,

The Hogwash Flow
Continues Unabated

n discussing the notorious ‘numbers game” — the case
of the 2,2

I 2,200 dismissed and resigned Federal employees
who were all lumped together as “security risks’ — Con-
gresswoman Katherine St. George made this remark:

“What difference does it make who the head of an
agency is if some obscure clerk is destroying files and
falsifying records?”

Come again, Mrs. St. George. Where's the evidence?
Can you give ten cases, out of 2,000,000 U, S. workers,
who were fired, tried and convicted on charges of destroy-
ing files and falsifying records? Five? One?

Or is this just some more of the hogwash which has
been poured in such appalling quantity upon the heads of
government workers?

the attendance officer acts as lial-

school, he is in a key position to
note the first signs of delinquency
and pre-delinquency; he can then
take the proper steps to nip this
in the bud, and so reduce delin-
quency and eventual court action.
The salaries of the attendance
officers in New York City have
not kept pace with inflation. A
recent study made reveals that in
the ten largest cities of the United

that City College is planning a

THE QUALITY of Sol Gelb's
thinking resides in its unique abi-
lity to locate facts of approach
that resist other men. Short, bald-
ing, rugged-featured, Sol Gelb
looks more like a bit character ac-
tor that one of New York City’s
most respected attorneys. But
when he begins conversing upon a
subject that interests him, the
cool, clean incisiveness his
mind makes itself quickly felt,

Whatever you may have thought
of a subject, Gelb invariably finds

something in it that

that leaves a powerful impression.
Sol Gelb doesn’t move around the
periphery of a situation; he gets
to its heart, In one case involv-
ing a jurisdictional dispute be-
tween two trade unions, Gelb
listened in court as the attorneys
for the unions and for the em-
ployer haggled and argued the
theory of Jabor-management re-
lations. Gelb then got to his feet,
took some five minutes. Not a
word about the theory of labor-
management relations. Gelb had
found something else: “This is
not a labor case at all,” he argued.
“It’s just plain retaliation.” He
had proof. He won his case.

He uses theory, too. Where
other lawyers will argue miniscule
Points of law, Gelb will sometimes
locate a constitutional issue. He
will éxpound it briefly. Judges
listen to him respectfully.

Probing Welfare Funds

Gelb has been named by Gov-
ernor Dewey to investigate union
welfare funds. It is a relatively
new field. Would his work be
deemed anti-labor? Not at all,
Gelb asserts. He is not investigat-|
ing labor; he {s investigating wel-
fare funds. Some things about
welfare funds are disturbing, he
points out. There has been some
evidence of kickbacks, of exorbi-
tant administrative costs, of nepo-
tism. “It is obvious that this re-
quires looking into.” The object is
to obtain facts with a view to de-
termining if standards: ought to

first step was to send a question-
naire to all labor unions in the
State. Then came a meeting be-
tween Gelb and the Central
| Trades and Labor Council, APL.
One of the participants at the
| meeting asked: “Will this be a
punitive probe?” Gelb looked
straight at him and replied: “No,

tivit: Central Trades and Labor
agreed to advise their affiliates
to answer the questionnaire.
They knew that, with Gelb at the
head, the probe would be fairly
conducted.
His Attitudes

Talking about his attitudes to-
_—. the law, Gelb says things
like:

“I always believe the most ef-
fective work can be done when a
case is tried on its merits.” He
dislikes histrionfes and diversions.

“I am scrupulously exact in
dealing with clients.” He will
never tell a client that he will
be able to “get him off” if the
probability Is that the client faces

“I demand perfection in my
own thinking.” He searches con-
stantly for new ways of looking
at his cases. “I try to crystallize
out the crucial portions of the
situation.” He feels that perhaps

ALBANY, Feb. 22 — If public
employees, including police, are

by the State Police Conference.

The Police Conference, headed

His Most Interesting Case

The legal case in his career
which he found most interesting
was the Jimmy Hines case, which
resulted in the conviction of the

notorious political leader, Thomas
Dewey was special prosecutor at
the time, and Gelb was one of
his assistants. Why did he find
the Hines case so interesting? “It
linked the most powerful political
leader to the Dutch Shultz gang.
The evidence we found was both
direct and circumstantial. It was
an excellently prepared case from
the standpoint of a lawyer, and it
was a pleasure working on that
case with Dewey.” Gelb was in
charge of the investigation, pre-
pared the case for trial, and
participated in the trial. Gelb en-
joyed working with Dewey
throughout his stay with that of-
fice. He respects what he calls
y's quick mind—and he’s
a first-rate lawyer.” Never a yes
man, Gelb was known in those
years as one of those in the of-
fice who would unhesitatingly tell
the D.A. what he thought, bluntly,
of any matter at hand,
The Hard Way

Gelb came up the hard way,
He was born on the East Side, son
of a poverty-stricken Hebrew
teacher, Gelb was the seventh of
eight children, As each child be-
came old enough to work, each
had to contribute to the meagre
family income.

After he had finished elemen-
tary school, young Sol went to
work: an errand boy, stock boy,
laborer. Wherever he could earn
a few dollars, he took a job. When
he was 16 years old, he listened
to the numerous soapbox orators
who used to inhabit New York's
street corners. They stimulated
his interest in learning, opened
the world of books for him. At
18, he made up his mind that he
would study law.

But to study law, he would need
high school diploma. He couldn't
take time ovt from work to go to
high schol, But he could and did
study at home. finally passing the
regents exams which yield the
equivalent of a high school dip-
Joma.

How He Got a Law Job

Then, still working by day, he
went to New York University Law
School by night. Before finishing,
he decided he would need to sup-
plement his studies with practical
experience. So he decided to find
himself a job with a law firm,
He drew up a plan for himself.
Starting down at lower Broadway,
in New York City, he would go to
see every lawyer in every building
until he landed a job, At 120
Broadway, he managed to get by
the secretary of Humphrey Lynch,
who with his partner Anthony

“Td like to work for you free,”

“Why do you want to do that?”
Lynch asked,

Gelb got his law degree in three

Lynch never ceased to marvel

Rule-of-Five Bill

‘Winning Support

WASHINGTON, Feb, 22—A bill
to permit the selection of one out
of five eligibles, instead of one
out of three as now, is slated to
receive the support of the Eisen-
hower Administration, on the r
ommendation of the U. S, Civil
Service Commission. This is one
of the changes recommended by
the National Civil Service League.
The present method, propo-

on the ground that a choice of
one out of three is adequate pro-
tection against an appointing of-
ficer having some eligible wished
on him that he doesn't want, and
if the choice is widened to five,
the move in the direction of
more freedom, whereas civil serv=
ice was instituted to limit pers
sonal choice sharply.

HOW TO RETIRE SOONER

by earning a small income

Government figures prove you need mach
less money if you retire to the country, and
now a new book shows over and over a-
gain how to make the money you do need,
whether you retire with or without a lot
of money in the bank.

Fred Tyler's HOW TO MAKE A LIv-
ING IN THE COUNTRY is “virtually a
blue print for the retired man or woman
wanting to make their own way,” says
the Chicago Daily News.

With this book, you learn:

—how to make the most income from tourist
cabins and a trailer camp (including where
to locate for the most business at highest
rentals) ;

—what to do to earn $3000 a year from a week
end roadstand (even if you never raise a
green thing);

—how 500 chickens will bring you a fine liv-
ing on your own bit of land;

—the best way known to learn which business
to start;

the only sure way to get a good buy in a
business put up for sale;

—how,a $2500 investment in a part-time busi-
ness will bring you all the income a retired
family may need in the country.

—the dozens and dozens of other dignified,
easy to start part-time enterprises that pay
well in the country (from renting out equip-
ment for week end farming to dozens of other
profitable ideas).

Read this 75,000 word book now. Check
off the ways you'd like to earn a small in-
come in the country, See how easily they
make retirement possible for you — now.
Despite its big size, HOW TO MAKE A
LIVING IN THE COUNTRY costs only $1.
Money back, of course, if not satisfied.

|\Bargain Paradises of the World

Do you know where to find an isiand right near
the U.S, so nearly like Tahiti in appearance, beauty,
and color even the natives say it Was made from a
rainbow? (And that costs here are so low you not
only reach it but also stay a while for hardly more
than you'd spend at a resort in the U.S.)

Do you know where to find the world’s best
mountain hideaways or its most dazzling surf-
washed coastal resorts, where even today you can
live for a song?

Do you know where it costs less to spend a while,
the surroundings are pleasant, and the climate well
nigh perfect in such places at Guatemala, Mexico,
the West Indies, Peru, France, along the Mediter-
ranean, and in the world’s other low cost wonder-
Jands?

Or if you've thought of more distant places, do
you know which of the South Sea Islands are as
unspoiled today as in Conrad's day? Or which is

Where Will You Go In Florida?

If You Want a Vacation You Can Afford
Florida needn't be expensive—not if you
know just where to go for whatever you
seek in Florida, And if there’s any man
who can give you the facts you want it’s
Norman Ford, founder of the world-
famous Globe Trotters Club, (Yes, Florida
is his home whenever he isn’t traveling!)

His big book, Norman Ford’s Florida,
tells you, first of all, road by road, mile
by mile, everything you'll find in Florida,
whether you're on vacation, or looking
over job, business, real estate, or retires
ment prospects.

Always he names the hotels, motels, and
restaurants where you can stop for the
best accommodations and meals at the
price you want to pay. For that longer
vacation if you let Norman Ford guide
you, you'll find a real “paradise”—just the
spot which has everything you want,

Of course, there's much more to this
big book.

'f You Want a Job or a Home in Florida
Norman Ford tells you just where to head,
His talks with hundreds of personnel man-
agers, business men, real estate operators,
state officials, etc. lets him pin-point the
towns you want to know about if you're
going to Florida for a home, a job with a
future, or a business of your own, If you've
ever wanted to run a tourist court or own
orange grove, he tells you today’s inside
story of these popular investments.

If You Want to Retire on a Small Income
Norman Ford tells you exactly where you
can retire now on the money you've got,
whether it’s a little or a lot. (If you need
a part-time or seasonal job to help out your
income, he tells you where to pick up ex-
tra income.) Because Norman Ford alwa)
tells you where life in Florida is pleasant-
est on a small income, he can help you to
take life easy now.

Yes, no matter what you seek in Florida
—whether you want to retire, vacation,
get a job, buy a home, or start a business,
Norman Ford's Florida gives you the facts
you need to find exactly what you want,
Yet this big book with plenty of maps and
well over 100,000 words sells for only $2
— only a fraction of the money you'd
spend needlessly if you went to Florida
blind.

5 More Competitive
Jobs Transferred
To Schedule C

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22—Five
of six positions most recently put
into Schedule C by the U. 8. Civil

Service wummission were formerly
in the competitive service, The
five: an executive assistant and
three legislative management of-
ficers, all in the Office of the As-
sistant for Congres-
sional Relations, and a private
secretary to the Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Administration.

‘The sixth position, private sec-
retary to the Assistant Secretary
for Administration, was transfer-
red from Schedule A.

Of the 879 positions placed in
Schedule C since last April, 236
were formerly in the competitive
service, 97 are new, 445 re
transferred from Schedule A, and
one was transferred from Sched-
ule B. These new net totals take
into account the cancellation of
6 positions previously authorized
for inclusion in Schedule C.

Schedule C jobs are supposedly

licy-making or confidential,

chedule A jobs are of the non-

competitive type, but without the
security that goes with them in
other jurisdictions.

Wagner Reveals Personnel Director
Will Be Civil Service Commission Head;
Promises Raises, Discusses Wide Plans

or Robert F. Wagner of
NYC, addressing a conference on
public personnel at Town Hall,
fully revealed his plans for im-
proving civil recruitment and ad-
ministration. The Mayor said:

I am convinced that our City
civil service machinery is badly
in need of a thorough overhauling
and some repairs. Furthermore, I
know that many of our civil serv-
ants are underpaid and that some-
thing must be done about it.

It is perfectly ridiculous for the
City of New York to keep stumb-
ling along with an antiquated ma-
chine. We in government fail in
our task if we do not keep pace
with what fs happening in the
world and age in which we live.

Today over ten thousand scien-
tists, engineers and technicians,
supported by tremendous resources
of private industry, are engaged In
research and development of
atomic energy.

‘At the same time, scientists tell
‘us that we are witnessing only the
beginning of a vast electronics age.
Mechanical devices can be ¢x-
pected to cover a wide scope of
activity. Electronic devices al-
ready smell, feel, taste, see ant
hear. They measure distance,
speedily record temperatures, pres-
sures, flows and countless other
things useful to man in his every
day tasks. With these things hap-
pening all around us, how can we
in government resist the demand
that we modernize and streamline
the governmental machinery?

NYC Plans for Future

Now just what are we going to
Go and why?

First, I have decided that the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion itself should be reorganized.
Accordingly, I have instructed the
Corporation Counsel to prepare &
bill to send to Albany under which
a new Civil Service Commission
will be created. The proposed bill
provides for a Commission in
which the Chairman takes on a
new role and a new importance.
He will be the Chairman, but more
than simply a moderator, he will
be personnel director charged with
the duty of carrying on the day-
to-day administrative and person-
nel affairs of civil service.

But, at the same time, and let
me make this very clear, T am not
in favor of, nor am I advocating,
the abolition of the Civil Service
Commission. Indeed, quite the
contrary.

Under my plan, we will have a
three-man, non-partisan Civil Ser-
vice Commission which will have
rule-making, appellate and policy~
making power. It will continue to
be the stanch advocate of the
merit system on behalf of the pub-
lic as well as the employees.

What I want is a personnel di-
rector who will be a strong, com-
petent administrator who ts able
to say “no” as well as “yes” when
the occasion demands it, and who
can, where necessary, knock heads
together. He will have a rough,
tough job — no question about
that, For I will expect him to in-
stall and administrate a civil ser-
vice system second to none in the
United States, In the accomplish-
ment of that task, he will have
my fullest support

Broadened Seope

Working with such a person, T
want a professional personnel of-
ficer in each department, so that
personnel operations can be
streamlined and modernized at all
levels of City government. As soon
fas we have such personnel officers
in the departments, they will con-
stitute a citywide Personnel Coun-
cil, meeting under the leadership
of the personnel director to deal
with citywide work conditions and
problems.

While the new personnel pro-
gram must be started from the
top, I believe that in the end what
we are seeking can only
achieved when the departments
and the direct supervisory officers
in Me bureaus and divisions come
to take the major responsibility in
the personne! operation, Good op-
eration and efficient operation is a
matter of human relations, It is
for this reason that T put so much
emphasis on a constructive ap-
proach in personnel administra-
tion.

The Four Main Areas

In addition to the importance of
food general supervision and
leadership, there are four main
areas which determine the quality
@f personne! administration, They

are recruitment, training, promo-
tion and salary standardization.
New York City has room for im-
provement in all four of these

areas. =

Recruitthent requires that up-
to-date methods be used to at-
tract people into the civil service.
We have been notoriously weak on
recruitment; in the past our Civil
Service Commissions have not util-
ized the best possible means of
locating talent. It is not enough to
issue a printed examination an-
nouncement and hope that you
will get the most able people to
take the test. That just does not
happen. Recruitment must be ac-
tive, not passive, and it must on
occasion reach all over the coun-
try. We must go after the people
we want, and provide them with
sufficient inducements to make
them desire positions with the
City. This kind of recruiting pro-
gram, together with a modern
examining system and training
plan, should raise the quality of
our employees — and therefore
of our municipal operation — by
several notches,

Furthermore, the time that
elapses between ordering of an
examination and sending to the
departments the first certified
names is far too long. While this
is partly the result of our large
lists of applicants, and partly the
lack of staff to process the work,
the fact remains that long gaps of
this sort tend to discourage the
best and most energetic prospec-
tive employees, This situation must
be remedied,

Once a valuable employee has
been hired, the City must do all
in its power to retain him, and
this means more than merely pay-
ing him a good salary, important
as this factor is,

Opportunities for advancement
must be opened up, and if ad-
vancement through competitive
examinations requires training,
the City should provide in-service
training, Because of so many other
pressing needs, this type of train-
ing is seldom provided now. How-
ever, we hope to institute some
training programs in the not too
distant future.

We aim to establish a proper
salary for every job and a proper
salary relationship between all
jobs. I consider a sound classifi-
cation plan basic to civil service.
A bureau within the present Muni-
cipal Civil Service Commission is
at work on an over-all modern
career and salary plan. During my
recent campaign for the Mayor-
alty, swift establishment of a
classification structure, with an
orderly progression of jobs and
promotions, clear job definitions,
and proper grades, constituted an
important plank in my program,

Making Good

I am_now carrying out my
pledge, Public hearings will com-
mence soon in several of the com-
petitive services. The work of the
Classification Bureau (of the Com-
mission) will be pushed ahead

as possible a scheme based upon
the principle of equal pay for
equal work. I do not consider the
Present organization for classifi-
cation within the Civil Service
Commission as necessarily the best
or final one. I am determined that
we shall have a classification and
compensation agency that will be
superior to that of the States and
gqual to that of the Federal gov-
ernment. It will be the task of this
gency to keep our item of
grades, jobs, and titles, promotion
lines, job analyses and pay struc-
ture, up-to-date at all times. It is
my belief that establishment of
this plan will be as important for
the City today as was the estab-
lishment of the Feld-Hamilton
plan under Governor Lehman at
the State level in 1937. This step
will once and for all put our civil
service system on an efficient,
modern footing. Moreover, it will
establish equality, not only of pay,
but of opportunity, for services of
the same value to the City.

Tustice in Pay

There remains another aspect
of the problem — wages. Salaries
have to be high enough to retain
able people in the City's service
‘We must make up our minds that
we will have to pay more if we are
going to obtain and to hold good
employees, Wage scales of muni-
cipal employees must be improved.
‘The greatest City in the world is
entitled to the best people to run
it, and we cannot attract such
people unless they are paid ade-
quate wages. Our loyal civil ser-
vants, who have continued to de-
vote themselves to the interests of
the people despite their low sal-
aries, are entitled to recognition
through wage increases which af-
ford them decent standards of liv-
ing, In the past, the efficiency of
municipal operations has deterior-
ated because underpaid employees
who have gone heavily into debt—
not infrequently to loan sharks—
have had to take second jobs be-
cause they simply could not live
on their City salaries. I wish to
Project a concept of public employ-
ment which holds that the pay at-
tached to a public post should en-
able an employee to live in dignity
and self-respect.

‘The various discrepancies, in-
equalities, inequities and ineffici-
encies accumulated through the
years cannot all be remedied over-
night, nor all at any one time,
Since the money to provide even
the benefits we consider most es-
sential is hard to obtain, and the
over-all undertaking so large, we
shall have to institute improve-
ments step by step. It is only
logical to make first the reforms

| that are most needed, thereby in-

troducing some improvement early,
and setting a pattern indicating
what is expected for the re-
mainder,

rapidly so as to provide as quickly | grievances in the City service. I

have always favored the develop-
ment of a workable system, As a
practical step in this direction we
have now set up a genuine De-
partment of Labor, one of whose
three major functions is develop-
ing a system under which griev-
ances could be brought before the
proper City officials, It is my feel-
ing that this needs to be done
after full and careful study, As we
evolve a constructive personnel
system under the new Civil Ser-
vice Commission and the new
chairman-personnel director, it ts
my thought that the personnel de-~
partment will handle all the gen-
eral personne! activities, while the
Department of Labor will deal
with the labor negotiations and

grievances, I think this will meet
the needs of the City and of the
employees. What we are doing dif-
fers from the plan adopted in Al-
bany and in Washington. These
Plans are not satisfactory or suc-
cessful, as I observe them, It is
for this reason that I have struck
out along a new line.

Goal Is to Make NYC a Model

Modern personnel methods are
as necessary for New York City,
one of the nation’s largest em-
Ployers, as for any other creat
corporation or any business. With
your help and with the aid of a
fine group of advisors, ‘his Ad-
ministration means to make New
York City a model of good govern=
ment and sound municipal prac
tices for the nation.
