The Meaning Of
‘Vested Rights’
(Special To
‘The Leader)
ALBANY, March 8 —- In request from numerous readers
of The Leader, State Comptroller Arthur Levitt made the
following comments on the
vesting benefit available to
members of the New York State Employees Retirement Sys-
tem:
“Under ‘vesting benefit’, a}
State employee who has com-|
pleted, 15 years of service — in-
cluding five as a contributing
member of the Retirement Sys-
tem — and who then leaves gov-
ernment service, may upon reach-
ing age 60 apply for and receive
@ retirement benefit, This ben-
efit will be calculated on the
basis of his total government ser-
vice and his contributions on de-
posit with the System. If he has
been contributing to a 55-year |
plan, his benefit will be calculated
on this basis, even though he
may not — under the existing
law — recelve the benefit until
age 60,
‘Major Improvement’
“The vesting benefit, which took
effect April 1, 1960, is a major im-
provement in the Syst
vice to its members. P:

date, & member who leaves his

Public Employees STILL
Need A Salary Increase
EGISLATURE budget hearings are an annual event in
Albany and are the public platform for various groups
to make proposals and requests for funds in the State bud-
get. The real work, of course, goes on in meetings with vari-
ous Legislature leaders and members of the Administra-
tion’s staff.
On both scenes, the 130,000-member Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn, has been hard at work these past few weeks
to firmly underline the need for salary Increases for public
employees, As CSEA President Joseph F. Feily pointed out
last week, the lag between public and private pay still exists
and will only lengthen if something serious isn't done about
a salary increase for State workers this year,
The CSEA leader also noted that the lesson of the ter-
rible effects of inflation on set pensions should certainly
have been learned during these post-war years and urged
that some kind of built-in protection be provided for em-
ployees retiring in the future,
A number of other needed measures, solidly backed by
appropriate statistics, were proposed and they all add up
to one undeniable conclusion—public employees STILL need
pay raises if they are ever to be the rightful equals to their
counterparts in private employment.
Lower Pension Age
ENATOR Jacob Javits and nine other senators intro-
duced a bill recently that would lower the retirement
age for Federal employees whose jobs have been abolished
or relocated so that they can collect their full pension, after
20 years of service, at any age.
This amendment to the Civil Serbice Retirement Act
will affect 3,000 or more workers at the Brooklyn Navy Yard
and a total of 149,000 throughout the country. The bill is a
good one and will certainly help those employees who can-
not or don’t wish to move from the New York City area.
‘The sponsors of the bill, in a letter to Senate cs Com-
mittee Chairman Olin D. Johnston, (D.-SC), asked that the
bil be considered and approval given by the committee.
The same bill was presented in the House by Congressman |
Abraham Multer, (D.-Bklyn).
Prompt action is required on this matter and both the
House and Senate should seriously consider bringing this
to a vote as quickly as possible and to pass it.

AN ILLUSTRATION of this premise is provided by the

The investigation report of the Department of Personnel re-

of fornication, Following his honorable discharge, he sired
two children out of wedlock. He wanted to marry the mother
of his children, who was five years his senior, but she re-
jected him because “he ts too young for me and I don’t
think it is right to burden him with my three other chil-
dren.” He has been supporting his children since their birth.
Older people are pleased by the

of us hope for some practical

THE CANDIDATE married another girl and is the father
of two children of this marriage, a stable and respectable
relationship. The Personnel Director marked the candi-
date not qualified for “social status” although the investi-
gator urged he be marked qualified for continued employ-
ment “in view of the fact that candidate is presently mar-
ried and has taken all the legal steps available to correct
his social status and fulfilled his obligation to his natural

It’s not hard to see If you picture each H.I.P. Medical Group as a sort of “‘super-
doctor”—a kind of family doctor who at the same time possesses all the specialist
skills, knowledge and equipment of modern medicine, Since he combines all medical
training and experience, he needs to maintain only one professional office and pay
only one technical and nursing staff,
Furthermore, instead of giving this “super-doctor” a fee each time you see him,
suppose you decide it makes more sense to pay him a certain amount every month to
take care of all your family’s medical needs. You pay him the same amount whether
everyone In the family is sick or well during the month, Since this “super-doctor” has all
the skills and experience to be found in the medical profession, you would know your
family was in capable hands. And you would know that the monthly amount you pay
him is all you have to pay.
That’s the idea behind H.L.P, But since there is no such person as this “super-
doctor”, H.1.P. offers an even better alternative—the combined services and combined

With Every N.Y.C, Arco Book—
there were no printed weight tic-
kets in many of Moore's files, we
do not think that the City has
even begun to prove its contention
that it established procedures for
Moore to follow.” |
As for gross negligence: “To|
categorize Moore as guilty in the|
Performance of duty—because in
three transactions no weight tie-
kets were found in the files, but
only memoranda of weights —
seems to us unwarranted when
there was no procedure requiring |
any specific form of weight certi- |
fleate nor its retention.” Moore
was cleared of the charges.
Should he then get back his old
job, the Commission asked. It
thought not. “While we have no
doubt that Moore should not be
dismissed from the civil service,
we have considerable doubt as to
whether he should be restored to
the position he previously held,
which apparently givés the in-
cumbent considerable breadth of
authority and responsibility with
respect not only to the handling
| of money—but also with respect
| to the creating, maintaining and
retaining a system of records to
document the propriety of that
handling.
“Even though the procedures
Prescribed with respect to tran-
actions in which Moore engaged
did not require the submission of
the weight tickets as vouchers for
collections he made, it seems ele-
mental that they are the basic
records of original entry and re-
quire meticulous preparation and
necessary to protect himself
against a reasonable audit.
His own lack of diligence in
that area resulted in his dif-
fieulty, and only after # thor- |
ough investigation and full
hearing could he be exonerat-
ed.”
