years fighting with hook-and-

scription. .

John McElligott rose from:
ranks through promotions that
came with unspectacular regu-
larity. Having joined the force
in 1905 when he was 21, Mc~
Elligott was a captain by 1914,
a battalion chief by 1922, chief
of the department 10 years
later. In 1933 Mayor LaGuardia
appointed him commissioner,
the first man ever to hold the
two offices at the same time.

McElligott today is no arm-
chair official, He is on the spot
at all the important fires,
where he often runs into
ubiquitous Fiorello LaGuardia,
who has a small boy’s awe of
fires,

Fiorello’s Okay

McElligott is tolerant of the
Mayor's interest in fires. “I like
to have him around to watch
my boys work,” he says. “He
has practically rebuilt the fire
department since he became
mayor, Our only problem is
to keep him from rushing into
buildings and killing himself.”

Much like a country doctor,
McElligott is constantly on call.

of city test advertisements is made public.

To fill
among the 600 clerical posi-
tions in the city’s colleges, an
exam for College Clerk, Grade
2, will be held in about two
months, The Leader exclusively
learned yesterday.

The new requirement has been
set because of the fact that
many of these clerks in the col-
leges act as advisers to students.
This will be done on an organ-
ized basis, as selected lists will
be made up within the main list

resulting from the new exam.
These will be classified accord-
ing to subjects, such as mathe-
matics, languages, etc.

This will be the first exam of
its kind ever given by the City
Commission, which took over the
positions in the city colleges on
Sept. 1.

Estimates place the number
who will apply at 10,000-20,000, as
no other requirements will be

On the day of unification of the

on the two systems,

and in turn rechecked by the per-
sonnel officer and a representative
of the City Commission.

Immediately following unification,
the Board of Transportation will
send names of all employees who
have worked one year or more, to be
certified on the City’s payroll for
one year, During that year the

Here is the new ruling
adopted by the U. 8. Civil
Service Commission on execu-
tive order of the President,
which makes it mandatory for
the Commission to establish
new eligible lists after they
have been in existence for a
period of two years.

“The term of eligibility shall
be one year beginning with
the date on which the name
of the eligible is entered on
the register. This term may be
extended, in the discretion of
the Commission, for one addi-
tional year, and thereafter a
register may be certified only
for such eligibles as continue
to meet all examination re-
quirements, and where experi-
ence was part of the test only
after supplementary examina-
tion of additional and interim
experience and re-rating of
such experience, All eligibles
on a list more than two years’
old who fail to file additional
experience data as required by
the Commission or who fail to
meet the requirements or re~
ceive a passing mark on re-
rating shall be dropped from
the list. No register hereafter
established shall be used for
more than two years unless it
has been extended and revised
in accordance with the pro-
visions of this rule.”

FIRST IN FIVE YEARS
FOR SCORES OF JOBS

(Special to The Leader)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—The next nationwide examina-
tion for postal clerks and letter carriers will be announced

late next Spring or early in the Summer, reliable source said

here today.

The last examination for
postal clerks and letter car-
riers was held five years ago,

While the U. S. Civil Service
Commission has made no officia)
confirmation of the time for the
next postal exam, observers be-
lieve they will be compelled to
hold one in the Spring, if not
sooner, because of new rules
adopted last June by executive
order of the President.

Must Renew Eligible Lists

Under the new ruling the
Commission is required to renew
eligible lists that have been in
existence for more than two
years,

Authorities here believe that
this ruling will compel the Com-
mission to announce a new gen-
eral postal examination as soon
as they receive sufficient funds
to conduct one.

When the last exam was held
in 1934, nearly 500,000 applica-
tions were received throughout
the country. The postal service
has a total personnel of about
35,000, most of whom are letter
carriers and clerks.

Thousands of Jobs

Great interest is expected in
the new series of tests for the
Post Office Dept., and it is pre-
dicted that during the life of the
next eligible list thousands of
jobs will be filled from it. The
starting salary for letter carriers
and postal clerks ie $1,500 a year
and the top salary in these
classifications is $2,400.

From the next eligible. list
more than 2,000 postal jobs in
New York City are expected to
be filled.

Please Don’t Write

Readers are requested not to

Commission for any additional
information on the Postal Clerk
and Letter Carrier examinations

announcement about the exams,

eased tree standing in the south-

west corner of the Court of Peace
and load it for removal in 20 min-

Few New Exams
Seen for Expiring
Eligibility Lists

(Spectal to ‘The Leader)

ALBANY, Sept. 25.—Despite the
fact that more than 50 eligible lists
expire at the end of 1939, because
of a four-year legal limitation, it is
unlikely that new examinations w!
be held for the majority- of these,
Grace A. Reavy, president of the
State Civil Service Commission, said
today.

President Reavy pointed out that
it would be a waste of time and
money to build up new eligible lists
for many classifications in which
there are no vacancies, or in which
vacancies occur infrequently.

She also: stressed the fact that
thousands of names are now on
other eligible lists and could be
used to fill vacancies which might
occur in those lists which will ex-
pire,

It the State Commission ordered
examinations for all the expiring
lists, President Reavy dectared, it
would have to assume a heavy addi-
tional burden of work.

ates of state agriculture and for-
estry schools. Additionally all
present park dept. laborers can
compete in the exams after one
year’s experience.

Successful applicants must
demonstrate unusual physical
ability and pass a practical test
in various phases of the work.
| The physical examination is ex-
pected to be thorough.
| It is expected that the Civil
ference Commission will invite

all New York City residents who
are graduates of the Long Island
State College of Agriculure, the
St. Lawrence Agriculture School,
Syracuse Forestry School, and
similar schools in this area, to
compete in the exams.

Though the Federal Govern-
ment in recent months has em-
ployed many young men for
Climber and Pruner jobs, it is ex-
pected that many New York City
residents would prefer employ-
ment in this position here, since
the salaries in both cases are
$1,800.

Jobs filled from the new Climb-
er and Pruner exam will pay $6
a day for 300 days a year.

The Commission is expected to
hold the examination on a Sat-
urday soon after the formal an-
nouncement in order that the
largest possible number of appli-
cants may compete.

MERIT MEN

By Seward Brisbane
(Continued from Page One)
from any part of New York City, Even at his
Hotel Lexington suite he receives all the fire
alarms over a private wire,
Commissioner McElligott is a hard worker,
proud of his department, which he says is the

COMMISSIONER,

FIRE CHIEF
“...the Mayor might kill himseif..

finest and best equipped in the world. “We've
got such fine equipment,” he declares, “that
we can get a good head of water to the top of
the Empire State flagpole.” McElligott has
spent much time in improving fire-fighting
apparatus, and is credited, among other
things, with inventing a special type of kero-
sene can, use of which is now compulsory in
the department.

One of McElligott’s pet projects is the Fire
College at Long Island City, where all regular
firemen are trained. He has been active in
fostering education and training in all
branches of the fire dept. and has more pride
in this progress than anything else he’s done.

In his long career, McElligott has had many
an adventure, though he’s reluctant to say
much about them,

Started Where Others Stopped

He was one of 10 men selected for the first
rescue squad back in 1916. Those who were
picked were known as tough “smoke eaters.”
The rescue squad started work where the
other firemen stopped, They had to combat
smoke, gas, falling walls and other dangers.
Special apparatus was developed to aid them,
and they wore a special smoke-proof helmet
and mask,

McElligott's worst experience while he was
on the rescue squad came when he was called
to a fire at Park and Tilford’s, near Columbus
Circle. In the cellar, which was half filled
with water, ammonia was leaking from the
freezing pipes. McElligott tripped and fell
into the water and his helmet slipped off, He
got a bad whiff of gas,

After that he was transferred to a fire boat
to recuperate. But about that time the first
World War started, and McElligott says he
was “never busier in his life.”

McElligott has no doubt that his most per-
ilous adventures. In 1918, commanding the
fire boat George B. McClellan, he was ordered
to a fire at the Standard Oil plant at Green-
point, Brooklyn, He nosed his boat up New-
town creek just as an explosion hurled a
flaming wall of fire towards him. He tried to
turn back, but couldn't, Fierce heat drove
him and his men down to the bilge, where
they expected to be baked alive.

Fortunately, a sister boat saw their danger
and was able to haul them to safety, but not
before 10-inch glass windows in the pilot
house had melted,

Some of Them Knitted

In the old days, before the advent of the
three-platoon system (eight-hour shifts for
firemen), most firemen had an excess 0,
leisure time. Some played cards or checkers,
many knitted, Today, says McElligott, a fire-
man has plenty to do in his eight-hour shift,
| and the knitting’s out. Some fire houses are
equipped with handball courts, where the
men can keep in condition,

McEliigott thinks that in general the same
| types of men that want to be cops want to

be firemen, but a fire rooky’s training, he
thinks, i:

more arduous and complex than a
patrolman’ Although he believes that the
better a man’s education, the better his
chances for promotion, he is convinced that
firemen, besides education, must have good
health, intelligence, courage. “You may find
these qualities equally in a truck driver or a
college graduate,” he says.

Though McElligott gets along well with the
rank and file firemen, one squawk he hasn't
been able to silence is their complaint that
they have to pay $58 for their uniforms.
Police, they point out, have been able to re-
duce the cost of uniforms to $38.

The Association fills every need of

In addition, the Association

Dear Mr, Brisbane:

Having just read the first
issue of the Civil Service
\f Leader, 1 want to add my
voice ta the many that will
be congratulating you on a
spirited and superbly edited
newspaper achievement.
| Quincy Howe tells me he
has been having some ses-
|} sions with you and your col-
leagues about the book I sug-
gested, and I hope to keep in
|] touch with these develop-
if ments,

Sincerely yours,

These encouraging words
from M, Lincoln Schuster,

one of the country’s foremost
|} publishers, are sincerely wel-
| comed by The Leader staff.—
|} Eorror.

Law Too Severe?

Sir: 1 would like to call your atten-
|tion to the following passage and
interpretation of the Civil Service
|Law which were used against me in
|xemoving me from my position as
|Clerk, Grade 3, in the City Treasury
|Dept. on April 6, 1938, I believe
they allow undue authority to of-
|ficials in the discharge of subordi-
nate employees.

| Chapter 22, subdivision 2, reads:
“No regular clerk or head of a bu-
reau or other person or employee
holding a position in the competitive
class of the Civil Service of the
State or any civil division or city
thereof, shall be removed except for
reasons stated in writing, and the
person whose removal is sought
shall have notice of such proposed
|removal, and of the reasons there-
|for, and shall be furnished with a
copy of any charges preferred
against him, and shall be allowed @
lveasonable time for answering the

Others ‘Mouthpieces’

Sir: If the Civil Service Leader
will endeavor to present an honest
outline .of matters affecting civil

| employees and eligibles it will truly

be a “Leader,” for existent Civil
Service weeklies are nothing but
“mouthpieces” for certain civil em-
ployee organizations,

One of the problems which face
independent civil employee axsocia~
tions is to construct an honest affilia-
tion of the number of “title” organi-
zations, free from false and dishonest
individuals who use civil employees
for selfish political gain, In the past,
some of these individuals, through
means possessed only by themselves,
have misinformed civil employee:
and eligibles—especially in the case
of eligibles and non-organized em-
ployees, who fell easy prey to their
exaggerated lasts

The Civil Service Leader should
receive wholehearted support of wll
1 employees if it follows a prac-
tice of out-lining the simple truth on
all matters affecting their number.

‘Easier to Read’

Sir: Congratulations and sincerest
hes for the continued success of
The Leader,

I rushed out to buy a copy this
morning all ready to tear it apart,
Believe it or not, I haven't a single
tear left in my system now. Every
possible suggestion I had in mind

|has been anticipated by you and

your associates,
A very striking thing about The

| Leader is that it is easier to read and

simpler to understand than the other
sheets,

The list, ‘JOBS OPEN,’ with ac-
companying pages and the list,
‘APPOINTMENT POSSIBILITIES"
are corking innovations.

G. B—The New York City, Com-
mission fixes the passing mark on
the highest rating received by the
tooth, 500th or 1000th candidate in-
stead of the usual passing mark of
70 per cent for this reason: it be-
lieves this is a fairer gauge for de-
termining a reasonable passing mark
than an arbitrary fixed percentage
mark; that it enables the Commis-
sion to meet requirements for ap-
pointment for any reasonable period
during which appointments may be
needed; and permits the City to ob-
tain better qualified persons, without
doing injustice to those taking the
examination, The Commission points
out further that the 70 or 75 per cent
average generally required in exam-
inations is an arbitrary and often
unrealistic basis for determining
eligibility for appointment, particu-
larly for the larger examinations.

Win Seniority
In Court Test

A victory for those battling to
have eligibles in the Division of
Placement and Unemployment
Insurance, State Labor Dept., re-
ceive seniority rights according
to original standing on the list,
was recorded this week.
Supreme Court Justice Peter
Schmuck denied an application
in the Tilles case to have the
State Civil Service Commission,
the Division of Placement and
Unemployment Insurance, and
intervening employees examined
before trial.

Involved is the issue of whether
eligibles highet on the lists can
stay in the service in face of lay-|
offs, ahead of those lower on the}
list who received appointment
before them.

Questions Rule
On Dual Jobs

Theodore Fred Kuper, Law
Secretary of the Board of Edu-
cation, told ‘Tue Leaver yester-
day that he is doubtful about the
legality of any teachers on an-
nual
experts ant examiners
for the Municipal Civil Service
Commission

“The Board advises them," he
explained, “that they are vio-
lating the Dual Job Law unless
the Board grants them exemp-
tions on recommendation of the

or

Board of Superintendents, How-
ever, such exemption cannot be
granted unless the applicant

shows that the work is not only
for the yood of the Board but
also that no one else is available
for the work.”

This last ‘provision, he said,
will eliminate the possibility of
many such “in face of the
fact that thousands of substitutes
are available who have qualified

in competitive exams and are
either unemployed or, at best,
receive salaries by the day.”

League Requests

Greater Funds

For Commission

|
Maintaining that the Municipal |
Civil Service Commission is now)
working on a budget 15 per cent be-
low its normal quota, the National |
Civil Service Reform League sent a|
letter this week to Mayor Pee
dia, urging the expenditure of
additional few thousand dollars” for
the City Commission. |

Three bureau head posts are va-
cant, and at least 15 in the examin-
ing ‘division and clerical staff, the
letter pointed out.

“The failure of the Commission to
get approval of the Budget Direc-|
tor to fill most of these positions, ap-
propriations for which have been|
made in the 1939-40 budget, has re-|
sulted in slowing up the work of}
the Commission,” the letter asserted. |

As a result, such important exams
as Social Investigator, Proportional
Representation Canvasser, and Ste- |
nographer have not been held, the
Jetter continued, Other harmful re-
sults mentioned are delays in pro-
mulgating eligible lists, and dis-
couragement of qualified persons
‘from competing in exams. |

State Series Postponed

(Special to The Leader)

ALBANY, Sept. 25—Because of the change in this year's
Thanksgiving date, the State Civil Service Commission hi
decided to postpone the next series of open competitive exami-
nations until Saturday, Dec. 2.

Among the examinations which the Commission is expected
to announce within the next few days are those for Title
aminer (Dept. of Law); Payroll Auditor; A ant Physician;
Interpreter (Yiddish); Interpreter (Italian); and’ Bridge
Operator.

It is believed that there will be considerable interest in the
new series of examinations, especially those for Title Examiner,
which will require a law degree, and Payroll Auditor. An eli-
gible list for the latter position will be used to fill vacancies in
the State Insurance Fund.
