Text of Dewey's Annual Message
On Topics Vital to State Workers
Governor Asks Unemployment Insurance for State's Personnel, Making
Bonus Permanent, More Income for Occupational Workers and Payment of
Vet Annuity Contributions for the Period of Service in the War
Special to The LRADER
ALBANY, Jan. 13 — Governor
Dewey, in his annual address to
the Legislature, said:
‘The largest task before us is, of
course, the maintenance and im-
es ton of the State’s services
the people. We are confronted
with a well-nigh staggering prob-
lem. During the depression of the
1930's the State’s plant and equip-
ment—our mental hospitals, tu-
berculosis hospitals, schools and
colleges, conservation and recrea~
tion projects, our highways, canals
and flood control projects—not
only failed to keep step with ex-
Panding requirements but ac-
tually ran down at the heel. Dur-
ing the war years this condition
became progressively worse.
the months since the the
demands for plant repair and ex
pansion have far exceeded avail-
able manpower and materials.
Each month or year that goes
by is bringing us a greater back-
log of urgent demands. This back-
log is rolling up faster than any
surplus is accumulating. Thus,
while the State appears, because
of our large war-time savings, to
be rolling in wealth, the truth is
that we are actually saddled with
heavy debts—debts that we owe
to the patients In our hospitals,
to the children in our schools, to
all the men and women in our
State who are dependent upon the
highways, institutions and other
projects.
This is no cold matter of mere
bookkeeping entries; no question
of the academic niceties of capital
budgeting. It is a serious human
problem. It is the problem of
feeble-minded children sleeping on
mattresses, spread on the floors of
dayrooms; of blind children, going
to school in fire traps; of prisons
where the inmates sleep with bars
between them and a bathroom;
of highways that take a weekly
toll of sudden death. Every cent
of our savings in the Postwar Re-
construction Pund is being use!
or is dedicated to the purpose of
wiping out such blots on the name
of our State, Al of you know how
strongly I feel about this matter.
I wish every person who would
like to raid the postwar savings
of our State. All of you know how
of his own could be compelled to
view the conditions which now
exist and which these savings are
dedicated to correct.
STATE FINANCES
In four years expenditures for
State purposes have been in-
creased substant/ally for many.
worthy purposes.
ployees are now paid well: Th
lowest starting salary in 1942 was
$900; today it is $1,560. Pro-
motions and reclassification of
employees are today approached
on the merits of the case rather
than first consideration being
given to dollar cost. Administra~
tive improvements and greatly in-
creased appropriations have been
provided for our mental hospitals.
Our allowances for food have been
imereased faster than price ad-
vances so that real improvements
in diet have been achieved. Our
State schools and colleges have
been strengthened and their facil-
ities extended to the utmost to
help meet the needs of veterans.
Veteran scholarships were created.
A whole new division of govern-
Our State em&>
ment to administer veteran serv-
ices was created. Juvenile delin-
quency has been attacked by
pioneering meihods. All these and
more have called for the best
management practices but they
have also called for increased ap-
propriations.
SOCIAL WELFARE AND
HEALTH
Social Welfare
New York State began 1947 with
a new public welfare system.
In place of a patchwork of com-
plexity and duplication, we shall
have a simplified and coordinated
system. For the first time, all of
our sick and our needy will be
served promptly and directly
through a single, convenient local
In | Office. Investigations of all family
needs, for all types of assistance
and service, will be made by one
agency, not several. Instead of a
variety there will be a uniform
standard of assistance and care
within the individual county.
At the same time the localities’
share of the expenditures was
stabilized and reduced to not more
than 20 per cent of the cost in
the fields of home relief, old age
assistance, ald to dependent chil-
dren and assistance to the blind.
Moreover, the costly, antiquated
settlement system of determining
locally the State and local respon-
sibilities for welfare costs is abol-
ished. Such costs are now deter-
mined on a simple human resi-
dence basis. These are complex
changes and we will all watch,
with great interest, their success
in operation.
HEALTH
Commencing January 1 the
State was fully launched upon its
expanded program for the eradica-
tion of tuberculosis and the grant-
ing of State aid of not less than
50 per cent for all the public
health services conducted by the
local units of government. These
programs, which involve an added
annual expenditure by the State
of more than $10 million, consti-
\tute the broadest extension of
public health services in the State
since the beginning of the cen-
tury.
MENTAL HYGIENE
The war years have been a
period of extreme emergency for
}our Department of Mental Hy-
giene, which ministers to more
than 92,000 patients in its twenty-
six institutions, We have sorely
lacked personnel, supplies, equip-
ment and even maintenance re-
placements, and many of our hos-
pitals have been overcrowded. In
| the face of all these difficulties, it
was necessary to keep each ward
functioning throughout the 24
ours of every day, This in itself
was a great achievement,
Partly as an outcome of the
period of war-born stress, the
mental hospitals of the country,
during the past year, have become
@ target of wide-spread public
criticism. Little has been said
against our New York State hos-
pitals by responsible people, but
we do know where and how we
can effect improvement. We have
already started.
We are well on the way toward
making the great stride from the
mere custodial care of the past to
genuine individual treatment of
every patient in our State mental
hospitals.
To illustrate, let me point out

nation-wide lack of these special-
ists came to public attention when
the Selective Service procedure
began to function. Early in my
first term we laid plans to meet
this fundamental need, and al-
most @ year ago one of these pro-~
Jects came life—a formal
training course in psychiatry,
started at Syracuse and New
York, for young physicians who
then had begun to return from
military service. Almost one hun-
dred are enrolled. Comparable
courses for senior physicians,
nurses, social workers, cooks, at-
tendants, and other personnel, are
either being expanded, inaugu-
rated or devised.
You are familiar with the
tremendous building program for
this department which will get
under way as soon as construction
is possible. This program Is de-
signed to do away with overcrowd-
ing, to replace antiquated build-
ings, and to afford living quarters
suitable for the care of the
various type of the mentally ill.
More than that, these recon-
structed institutions will provide
the physical facilities needed by
the trained, augmented staffs, to
give our patients the best possible
care and new hope for the future.
LABOR
The prevention of accidents in
industry, in places of public as-
sembly and in all establishments
subject to fire hazards, industrial
diseases and unsafe conditions of
employment is a subject of prim-
ary concern to all the people of
the State. Already we have made
great progress in this direction.
The reorganization of the inspec-
tion service of the State Labor
Department, and the setting up
in that Department of the new
Division of Industrial Safety
Standards, headed by competent
engineers, have been invaluable
not only to the workers of the
State but to industry itself. We
need to go further. The Labor
Department is asking legislation
which will remedy defects in the
Labor Law, extend its jurisdiction,
and increase its staff for an even
better job in the prevention of
accidents. I am sure the Depart-
ment’s recommendations, which
have been prepared in consulta-
tion with leaders of both industry
and labor, will have the serious
consideration of your Honorable
Bodies.
With the return of the Employ~
ment Service to the State we shall
have a closer integration of this
Service and the Insurance System
which should result in the elim-
imation of abuses which seriously
concern the people of this State.
Unemployment insurance should
not be used as @ means of lower-
ing wage standards or skills in
industry. By the same token, we
must be careful not to subsidize
voluntary unemployment. An effi-
ciently, professionally adminis-
tered employment service should
prove invaluable in matching jobs
and workers on a sound level of
skills and wages not heretofore
adequately attained. We propose
to have such a service,

MALTBIE IS ATTACKED
ON TRAVEL PAY CUT
ia} 1 The LEADER F
ALBANY, Jan. 13—Following up
Protest over failure of the Public
Service Commission to conform to
sick leave and other leave rules of
general application to State de-
partments and agencets, the Civil
Service Employees Association is
now seeking to have Chairman
Milo R. Maltbie, of the Commis-
sion, conform to the law and the
rules on traveling expenses,
John T. DeGraff, counsel to the
Association, on behalf of the As-
sociation, wrote Chairman Malt-
bie that by rules of State Comp-
troller Frank C. Moore, in
conformance with the Public Serv-
ice Law, $8 a day is allowed for
board and lodging in NYC, where-
as the Commission allows only
$7.50, with certain exceptions,
‘Mr. DeGraff calis the limitation
“picayune” and “a barefaced vio-
lation of the statute.”
DeGraff's Letter
He challenges Mr. Maltbie's au-
thority to consttiute himself an
exception. The “niggardly prac-
tices” injure employee morale, |
Mr. DeGraff warned in his letter,
which follow
“Section 13 of the Public Serv-
ice Law directs that all employees
of the department shall be reim-
bursed for ‘all actual and neces-
sary traveling and other expenses
and disbursements incurred or
made by them in the discharge of
theri official duties. |
“Under the rules of the Comp-
troller, which are uniformly fol-
lowed by all departments, except
the Department of Public Service,
the sum of $8 a day is allowed for
board and lodging in New York}
City and certain other large cities. |
You have, however, issued a spe-
cial rule which specifies that the
allowance in these cities shall be
only $.50 per day, with the follow-
ing proviso:
ASKS HOW COME?
“Allowances to be 50 cents per |
diem higher for division and bu-
reau heads, examiners and others |
approved by the head of the de-|
}
partment
‘By what process of law or
equity do you assume the preroga-
tive of discriminating between the
employees of your department to
the extent of ruling that one em-
ployee can receive $8 per day for
travel expenses, while his fellow-
worke signed to duties at the
same place, can receive only
$7.50? What concept requires you |
to demand that an employee must |
become a supplicant for your fa-
vor before he can receive his full
travel allowance? Must employees |
assume that the extra fifty cents |
is a gratuity which you can grant
or withhold, at your pleasure? Is
it not obvious to you that such

petty discrimination is repugnant
to every principle of fair play and
has no place in a democratic gov-
ernment.
Dinner But No Lunch
“Although neither the statute
nor the rules laid down by the
Comptroller make any distinction
with respect to the right to reim-
bursement for expenditures for
breakfast, lunch or dinner, your
special rules provide:
“Lunches may be charged only
when employee is entitled to full
subsistence, including either the
preceding or the succeeding
night's lodging, or both preceding
breakfast and succeeding dinner.’
“Your regulation directs that an
DORIS LE FEVER, President of the
Syrecuse Chapter ef the State
employee who, after breakfasting
| at home, is assigned to duty at a
| point some distance away, where
| he must buy his lunch and dinner,
| returning home that evening, can
| be reimbursed for his dinner but
cannot be reimbursed for his
lunch. This picayune limitation
finds no counterpart in any other
state department and is obviously
@ barefaced violation of the sta-
tute governing the Public Service
Commission. By what process of
law or, reasoning do you assume
the prerogative of denying em-
Ployees the right to reimburse-
ment for such a necessary expen-
diture, which has been expressly
authorized by the Legislature and
the Comptroller?
Small Policy Charged
“These items, no doubt, seem
small to you. By the same token,
the policy you have laid down
seems exceedingly small to us,
‘The minuscule economies which
you may effect by such niggardiy
practices are far outweighed by
the devastating effect which they
have on employee morale. The
financial loss you have imposed
on each employee is utterly un-
justifiable but, or greater signifi-
| cance, is the revelation in these
instances of an arbitrary and in-
tolerable personnel policy that has
been manifested in many other
ways that have been called to
your attention.

The Governor's Message
THE ANNUAL MESSAGE of Governor Dewey to the Legislature
is in part a report on the State of the Commonwealth and in part
a program for legislation for the well-being and progress of the State.
As a report, the Governor states that “the State Government
is in the strongest financial position in its history.” He immediately
adds, however, that many dangers confront the State, that might
easily lead to economic and financial collapse.
“We cannot ignore the fact that our Country, and indeed our
entire world, is now in the throes of a great post-war inflation,” he
says. “Prices of real estate, food, clothing and every other necessities
Mite
| have greatly increased.”
As to salaries, the Governor states;
“Our State employees are now paid well. The lowest starting
salary in 1942 was $900, today it is $1,560, Promotions and reclassi-
fications of employees are today approached on the merits of the
case rather than first consideration being given to dollar costs.”
As to labor, the Governor says:
“The labor policy of the State rests on a maximum of voluntary
mediation and a minimum of government compulsion, This policy
has provided free collective bargaining. It has been widely successful
in preventing strikes and violence. We propose to continue this policy.
We propose, too, to strengthen the State's role in this peaceful
process by increasing the State’s service to both labor and industry.”
Dewey's Remarks on State Salaries
The Governor spoke as follows about State employee:
“At my request, the Salary Standardization Board undertook
@ widespread survey of salaries paid privately in this State, by other
States and the Federal Government for servi comparable with
those performed by New York State employees. This is the most
instensive study of its kind ever conducted. The complete report
of the Board's work will soon be available.
“The Board has found that the temporary emergency compen-
sation presently paid to all State employees should be incorporated
into the permanent salary structure. The Board has already advised
me that, in the main, gross salaries presently pald (including emer-
geney compensation) are comparable with and in proper relation-
ship to salaries paid in private industry and in other public juris-
dictions.
Adjustments in Salaries
“After the most careful study the Board has concluded that the
| present salary plan should be modernized and simplified. In the
process of modernizing the salary schedules it i5 necessary to make
several adjustments in minimums, maximums and increments to
round out the irregular rates of pay occasioned by the variable
emergency percentages. These adjustments will involve a net increase
in aggregate salaries of about $2.5 million.
“Purther adjustments may be necessary in a certain few occu-
pational groups that were found to be out of line with positions in
private industry and in other public employment. In my budget
message, I will submit to your Honorable Bodies detailed recommen-
dations on the changes to be made and appropriations required to
improve the State's compensation procedures so that its employees
may be properly paid in accordance with their contribution to the
smooth functioning of the State's business.”
Salary Board Report Awaited
The Association has been given no opportunity to examine the
Salary Board report which is scheduled to be published on January
15. We can not and will not prejudge it. However, the information
contained in the message with respect to solaries has shocked State
employees, who confidently expected full details. The Association
will institute vigorous action in the hope that conferences already
scheduled will result in a just soltion.
We are not ready to believe that the Governor means that sal-
aries shall be determined solely by the Salary Board and imposed
on the employees. Does not the same policy of conference determine
all labor relations under the State government? Does it not apply
to the State employee as well as to the private employees in industry?
In my opinion this crucial test of the inherent right of State em-
ployees is a matter of vital significance to every civil servant.

Veterans, returning to State
service were guaranteed, under
the terms of a memorandum is-|
sued by President J. Edward Con-|
way of the State Civil Service
Commission on June 6, 1946, a
full four weeks’ vacation allow-
(April 1, 1946, through March
31, 1947.) In the absence of this
grant such veterans would be en-
titled only to the vacation cred-|
its which they had accumulated |
prior to military service and those}
earned subsequent to their return. |
This is made clear in a recent|
communication from President}
Conway, to State appointing of-
ficers, seeking to eliminate some
of the confusion that has at-~
tended the application of the June
memorandum. The confusion ap-
parently stems from the fact that
in some departments vacations
earned in a fiscal year are taken
during the same fiscal year, where-
as in other departments vacations
earned during one fiscal year are
taken during the ensuing fiscal
year.
Accordingly, the latest com-
munication explains and illus-
trates the proper application of
the terms of the June memoran-|
dum in both types of departments.
Earned and Taken in Same Year
Tf you are a veteran in a de-
partment where vacations are cur-
rently earned and currently taken
and were reinstated during the
1945-1946 fiscal year, the memo-
randum did not affect you be-
cause you would have earned four
weeks vacation during the 1946-
1947 fiscal year under the regular
procedure, anyway.

Special to The LEADER
ALBANY, Jan. 13—As a result
ot four years of vigorous efforts
by the Civil Service Employees
Association, Governor Dewey in
his message to the Legislature
recommended unemployment in-
surance to protect permanent
State employees who lose their
jobs.

the Governor included only per-
munent employees,
‘ing the next session of the
Legislature in 1948 the Association
will attempt to extend these bene-
Mts to other

ployees, The Association has held
many conferences with Lillian
Poses and Anna Rosenberg in an
effort to broaden the scope of the
benefits, A tentaive agreement
was reached that the U. 8. Gov-
ernment will not charge the State
members, Including the head of
the department or his represen-

Railway Mail Men
Get Deserved Break
AILWAY mail employees may now have lunch on Uncle
Sam’s time and work 8 hours instead of 844, and the
half-hour eating period is included in the 8. That’s fine!
It is a long overdue improvement of working conditions.
Now the idea should be put into practice generally in the
postal service. ;
At a conference of officials of the Second Assistant
Postmaster’s bureau in Washington, Gail Sullivan approved
of the elimination of lap service in terminals, air mail
fields and transfer offices. This matter was presented by
the Railway Mail Association at a conference held in Chi-
¢ago last April. Instructions will be issued to provide for
an 8-hour tour of duty commencing at the time the clerks
report for duty and ending follwing the completion of a
total of 8 hours on duty.
A Service Needed
By Annuitants
HE abrupt change from busy work for the Federal, State
hor City government, to complete inactivity such as can
mark retirement on an allowance, sometimes carries seri-
ous, and even fatal, consequences, The administration of
the retirement systems of the three levels of government
should be supplemented by a guidance service to present
and prospetive annuitants, so that they will fit the new
conditions with maximum safety.
Such a service would greatly enhance the value of a
retirement system to its members and annuitants and add
considerably to the attractiveness of government employ-
ment. Since a pension is a form of deferred payment,
liberalization would be achieved by rewards of greater hap-
piness to annuitants and a longer span of life in which to
enjoy that happiness. Annuitants now need such help, The
future need will be immeasurably greater. The humane
service therefore should be instituted without delay.

Already well up on the ladder
of public career, Robert F. Wag-
ner, Jr, NYC Commissioner of
Housing and Buildings, is fast
building a reputation as a fight-
ing Hberal and a man with lon,
range ideals. Commissioner Wag-
ner, son of U. 8. Senator Robert
F. Wagner, was appointed by
Mayor O'Dwyer as Commissioner
of Housing and Buildings, after
having served since January, 1945,
as Tax Commissioner,
He attended Loyola and Taft
Prep Schools and was graduated
from Yale in 1933, Yale Law
— gave him his LLB. in
He began his public career in
1937, when elected to the State
Assembly. He was re-elected in
1938 and again in 1940. As a
member of the legislature, Mr.
Wagner was extremely active. He
introduced and succeeded in hav-
ing passed a bill to form a com-
mision for adequate distribution
of medical care among lower-in-
come groups. That commission is
still functioning.
He introduced the first full-
seale housing bill in the State
Legislature. He caused another
stir when he proposed setting up
@ State Securities Exchange Com-
mission to protect investors.
“Here we tried to protect the
investor before the cow got out
of the barn,” said Mr. Wagner.
Notable Army Service
He became a partner in hi
father's law firm, Wagner, Quil
linan and Rifkind.
In 1941 the Assemblyman re-
signed from the Legislature to
enter the Army. He served in the
European Theater and partici-
ated in the attack at Normandy.
Third Army in
against Hitler's forces. He left
the service in December, 1945,
after having been awarded the
Bronze Star, the Croix de Guerre,
a Presidential Unit Citation and
six battle stars for his E.T.O.
ribbon. Mr. Wagner was di:
the onslaught
charged with the rank of Lieu-
| tenant Colonel.
Upon leaving the service he re-
turned to the practice of law. The
new Commissioner is in dead
earnest about his new job,
“I have always felt that a City
department should be run with
absolute honesty, efficiency and
courtesy—after all we are the
servants of the people,” he said,
At 36, Commissioner Wagner
has accomplished a great deal.
The future should see him climb
even higher in the public esteem.

[Senators to Study
U.S. Exams, Pay
And Low Pensions
By William Langer
U, S. Senator from North Dakota and newly-chosen
Chairman of the Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committees
T= field of public service has long held a deep interest for me,
I believe the public service will be just as attractive to men and
women with abilities as we make it. I believe that every person
working for the Government is entitled to receive the best deal
Uncle Sam can possibly provide and in return the employee must
demonstrate undivided loyality and unstinting energies toward effec~
tiveness in Government administration,
I shall seek out the best brains in industry and elsewhere to
Present to our Committee their views on methods for improvement
of the Government service. At the same time, we will continue to
welcome constructive advice from those already in the Government
service, in places of high responsibility and in the lower levels.
A considerable volume of information will be sought from many
sources, outside and inside Government. All such information can
serve to point up the ways to wpich the Government can be a better
place in which to work:
Proper Rewards for Good Work
I have long been jealous of the good name of the Government
employee because the good name of the Government itself is at stake.
I want to see the employee, fully capable of doing his job, diligent,
well-respected and properly rewarded during the period of active
service and in those years when he shall have leisure to enjoy the
fruits of his savings in the Retirement Fund. Government employees
should not be forced into a rear-guard action continually to defend
themselves from carping criticism. If we do not have the right types
of employees, let us find that out. And if we do, let us make the
most of such asset,
We shall insist upon a good day's pay for a good day's work,
The Committee will want to have contact with the rank and file,
as well as the administrator and his assistants. The best method
of conveying individual employees’ views to our Committee obviously
is through the long-established Unions and organizations which are
amply equipped through their convention action to tell us how we
can be helped toward final decisions,
We value fully as much any contributions our Postal field em-
ployees will have to offer for the good of the order so long as we
know they are in good faith and designed for the greatest good of
the greatest number, The opinion of the man who packs a familiar
brown mail bag and is on his feet in all kinds of weather is just as
valuable as that of the Postmaster General when !t contributes to
the welfare of all concerned. And in the Postal service, as highly
efficient a sit is, there continues to be much room for improvement,
Why should not a Postal employee have reasonable assurance that
some day he can become a postmaster—or even Postmaster General?
These are but a few of the many questions to which we are entitled
to have the answers,
Study of Exams Will Be Made
Examining techniques for civil service examinations will be
studied, as will all phases of Government employment. The fact
that staff asks questions will in no way indicate that our Com-
mittee is dissatisfied with present methods. After we have the com-
plete picture will be time to pass judgment.
Iam not too sure that the Civil Service Act of January 16,
1883, under which the Civil Service Commission was created, should
not be brought up to e,-all the way from the beginning, to meet
modern requirements. Perhaps many of the rules and regulations,
at least those portions which are needed, should be incorporated
into law while others should be eliminated.
Determinations in this direction must await receipt of all the
facts involved. These, our Committee staif is charged with assembling.
The Committee looks forward to holding of joint hearings of
of House and Senate Office and Civil Service Committees. The entire
tempo of the Congressional process is being stepped up, so that for
the sake of expeditious action I shall exert my energ! in this diree-
tion as often as practicable.
T expect to ask my colleagues to serve on sube
as possible, In this manner, our Senate Committe: n will acquire
considerable 8] alized knowledge, Our subcommitteemen will be
selncted on the basis of the background best suiting them to such
ends.
Our Senate leadership will be seeking ways of curtailing Gov-
ernmental expenditures. In the fact of this, our success in demons
strating fairn toward all parties concerned with Federal empioy-
ment, therefore, must be within the framework of fiscal realities,
There must be a curtailment of personnel to the limits of required
services as stipulated by the Congress. There must be no overload-
ing of the payrolls beyond actual needs. This means our Commitice
will want to do much more scientific job than otherwise in order to
arrive at full equities to which everyone is entitled
Social Benefits to Be Increased
Now can be the opportunity to weigh the social aspects
| Government employment. Depressions, emergencies, defense prepa-
rations and Wars have delayed our moving into this field. There
jmay be some cries against increased costs in establishing long-
deferred benefits as part of the Civil Service Retirement System,

|
ittees as far
all the customary so-called actuarial objections which are raised,
Tam of the belief that hereafter we will want the reasons why and
how things can be done rather than why they must not and ecan-

Ik is my definite desire and intention that our Committee issue
periodic reports on our program and that every employee of the
United States Government shall know through direct and first-hand
information from us just what we are doing to make his job more
attractive and more useful to all other citizens of the Republic and

these cuts are being made, other

Browsing around 2 Park Ave-

noted the many desks that were
not being utilized, and when, he
queried this was told that they
formerly belonged to staffers who
had been terminated. Actually a

By SOL DROGIN
In conscious recognition of
long-standing demands for cor-
rection in the methods used in
appointments* within the postal
Congress explicitly in-
structed postmasters in section 11
of Public Law No. 134 that “Regu-
lar clerks and carriers of grade 9
and above in first and second-
class post offices shall be eligible
for promotion to the higher posi-
tions in their respective offices,
and if for any reason such clerks
and carriers of grade 9 and above
are not available those clerks and
carriers in the lower grades in
such offices shall be eligible for
such promotions.”
Recognition, however, is only
the start in correcting an imper-
fect situation. Congress should
have seen fit to restrict postmast-
ers to appointments from grade
9 only and above.
Everett G. Gibson, President of
the Joint Conference of Affiliated
Postal Employees of Greater New
York and Vicinity, representing
25,000 AFL post employees, stated:
For Mandatory Seniority
“For these reasons, our organ-
ization is solidly behind the de-
mands of the personnel for man-
datory seniority legislation. While
it is true that, according
presidential executive order and
regulations of the Civil Service
Commission, a clerk passed over
for appointment can ask for a
written explanation, the evil of
the discretionary exercise of the
appointment power of the post-
master in question, remains.
“At such time when seniority
and merit, which should be the
¢riterion for appointments to the
higher positions available in the}
postal service, are candidly rec-
ognized as the prerequisites for
for these positions, only then will
the postal service be the govern-
pean career that it was meant

meant to be a realistic concept,
no man past his mental and
physical prime should be retained.
He is a detriment to the service.
However, in lowering the age to
make retirement possible, and fi-
nanclally attractive, it is impera-
tive that the annuity should be
adjusted in accordance with the
present standard of living condi-
tions. This adjustment is long
overdue. Purthermore, there
should be no sinecures for any
men based solely on years of
service or old age. To provide
these sinecures is to defeat the)

State Assn. Ready
With 35 Bills
Special to ‘The LEADER
ALBANY, Jan. 13—It was an-
nounced by the Civil Service Em-
Ployees Association that they
would arrange for the introduction
of 35 new bills into the legisla-
ture this week.
John T. DeGraff, counsel to the
Association, was busily at work
Preparing the measures for pres-
entation, after conference with the
| Executive Committee and the
| Directors of the First U. 5. Civil! Legislative Committee.
Study material for the Patrol-
man written exam, the tentative
date for which is Saturday, March
15, is continued this week from
last weeks LEADER:
22. “The experienced patrolman
knows that his mere appearance |
on a scene is usually sufficient to
halt a dispute or to quell a dis-|
turbance.” This statement implies
most accurately that: (A) disturb-
ances are difficult to quell; (B)
disputes usually develop from dis-
turbances; (C) a patrolman is not
rarely halted by patrolnen,
23. “Many good cases of detec-
tion have been attributed to care-
ful study of evidences of the
means criminals used in traveling
away from the scene of the}
crime.” The one of the following |
which best illustrates this state-|
ment is the: (A) examination of
the markings on bullets found at
the scene of the crime; (B) study |
of the fingerprints on articles not}
taken by the criminals; (C) ex-
amination of the tracks left by
the tires of an automobile at the
scene of the crime; (D) matching |
of fragments of cloth found at
the scene of the crime with
samples of fabric; (E) analysis of
the handwriting characteristics ot |
any written notes found at the
scene of the crime.
24. In a recent address a pas
commissioner said, "Many juve-|
| nile offenses, which are considered
delinquent or potentially delin-
quent, are but evidences of mis-|
directed play.” This statement |
emphasizes chiefly that the solu-|
tion to many of youth's problems |
lies in: (A) providing opportuni-
ties to youth for the constructive |
use of leisure time; (B) securing
es of juve=
nile delinquency; (C) increasing
the severity of punishment for
juvenile offenses; (D) considering
| juvenile offenders as delinquent
rather than potentially delin-
quent; (E) avoiding direction of
play activities of juveniles by
adults.
| 25. “In taking the ante-mortem
statement of the dying victim in
a homicide case, the police officer
is to ask the victim, ‘Have you
any hope of recovery from the}
effects of the injury you have re-
ceived?’ This instruction is most
likely based on the theory that

the dying victim in «a homicide
case: (A) is probably too upset
mentally to make any coherent
statement; (B) will probably be
more anxious to tell the truth if
convinced he is about to die; (C)
will probably be more anxious to
tell the truth if he is conyinced|
the police officer is anxious to|
help him recover; (D) will prob-
ably be more anxious to tell the
truth if convinced he will live to
testify against his assailant; ()
is usually not very eager to help
the police to solve the crime,
26. “Blackmail is an especially
troublesome problem for the po-
lice.” Of the following, the best
justification for this statement is |
that the: (A) victim of a black-
mail plot usually hesitates to co-
operate with the police for fear
of publicity; (8) blackmailer is
usually a hardened criminal who
will not hesitate to murder his
vietim; (C)
subject matter of a blackmail are
seldom known to the victim; (D)
victim of a blackmail plot is
usually anxious to expose all de-
{E) black-
matier is usually well acquainted
with the most modern techniques
of criminologp.
27. “In some States, statutes
forbid the payment of ransom to
kidnappers.” Such statutes are:
(A) actually in violation of the
due process of law clause of the
Federal Constitution; (B) neces-
sary to encourage kidnappers to
return the kidnapped person un-
| harmed; (C) harmful because kid-
napping is encouraged by such
legislation; (D) examples of laws
which protect society although
sometimes working hardships on
individuals; (E) useful in pointing
out new ways of coping with
problems of nepology.
28. "Criminals are frequently
known to commit extraordinar:
acts not associated with the pur-
poses of the crime.” An extra-
| ordinary act of this type is best
demonstrated when: (A) nin
als leave a loft build just
looted by them and rush into a
waiting automobile; (B) & ¢
inal, after plundering the apart-
ment of a weelthy banker, sits
down in the apartment to smoke
a ciyar; (C) a criminal who in-
tends to forge the signature of a

lowing, the best reason for repor

et that thousands of
servicemen are returning to this
country with souvenir weapons
creates a problem for law enforce-
ment agencies, Strict supervision
of such weapons must be exer-
cised.” Of the following, the chief
argument for supervising souvenir
weapons in the possession of vet-
erans js that: (A) souvenir weap-
ons ordinarily possess strong sen-
timental value; (B) the incidence
of crime is related to the avail-
ability of weapons; (C) souvenir

to you and insists that you arrest

of beating her with a hammer.
After you have apprehended him,
the woman informs you that she
does not wish to prefer any
charges against him and requests
that you release him. The best
nt refusing this request

Barbers, Beauticians
Won't Need a License
Special to The LEADER
ALBANY, Jan. 13 — Attorney}
General Nathaniel L. Goldstein
has ruled that barbers and beautl-|
cians employed in State institu-}
tions are exempt from State}
licensing. |
‘The licensing law, passed by the
legislature last year and effective
next July 1, provides for the
licensing of all barbers and
beauticions who worked in the
State for one year between July
1, 1945 and 1946.
In regard to employees of State
institutions, the Attorney General
stated:
“It is my opinion that the Leg-
islature did not intend in any way
to regulate the operation of State
institutions or to interfere with
the activities of State employees |
controlled by civil service regula-
tions, and it is not necessary for
such employees to be licensed.”

employees have expressed disap-
pointment over the fact that
Governor Dewey did not mention
the 40-hour week in his message

In September, 1946, the Civil
Service Employees Association ob-
tained a pledge from the adminis-
tration that the 40-hour week
Mag ag granted, effective April
» 1947.
While the message made no
mention of the change, the Asso-

ter would receive attention, and

eluded in the budget bill.

RECLASSIFICATION

PAY RAISE DODGE
Like other employees, public
employees are continuously trying
to better their economic position.
This desire is especially evident!
at the present time due to the
increased cost of living. As a mat-
ter of fact, current conditions re-
quire salary increases to main-
tain economic standards, to say
nothing concerning improved
standards. The vast majority of
public employees, who serve in
competitive class positions, have
long known that they could bet-
ter themsedves only by means of
promotion examinations, How-
ever, there have been some who
regarded the classification process
as a quicker means of obtaining
promotion and a means which
avoided the unpleasant aspects of
& competitive promotion examina-
tion. One such case reached the
court in Erie County where the
civil service authority denied an
appeal for reclassification and
forced to defend the action
court,
tion and Training Service,
The court proceeding
brought
Case Workers in the Welfare
partment who claimed their

Workers.
Qualifications the Factor
“the question is not whether
formed by both classes is
same but. whether there is
difference
required and the duties which
to perform.”
