New U.S. Patronage Jobs
Opened During Summer

During the months of July, Aug-
ust and September, a variety of
positions has been “excepted”
from the U. S. civil service, This
means these positions are filled
without examination; or, more
simply, patronage. These posi-
tions add to the already great
number of Federal posts which
can be filled on a political basis.

The positions vary from top
policy-making posts to positions
known as “farmer fieldman.”

‘The LEADER has been able to
compile the lgtest roster of “ex-

in political appointments should
examine the titles, and make

Bator in January, President Jo-
|seph A. McNamara, of the Muni-
cipal Civil Service Commission,
announced today. The written
test will be held as soon as pos-

| of applications ends, and the pro~
; Mulgation of the eligible list will
be rushed, he added.

“The requirements in the new
examination will be substantially
the same as those in the last one,”
he revealed, “except that educa-
tional credits will be extended to
graduates of the following June,”

Hundreds of jobs will be open,

No Degree Required

The liberalization of educa-
tional credits allows candidates to
compete, subject to high school or
college graduation June, 1949, If
the candidate does not attain the
expected graduation, the credit
claim is denied. The eligible list
therefore is not expected to be
out before June next, but will be
out before the end of 1949.

“The eligibles on the present
| Social Investigator list are hereby
| warned,” President, McNamara re-
|sumed, “that their list will be
terminated just as soon as the
new list can be promulgated, In
other words, we shall terminate
the existing list as soon as pos-
sible.

fore the end of the year (1949)

Sick Leave
Credit Can
Be Lost

ALBANY, Oct. 25— State em-
Ployees going to work for a new
agency from a preferred list are
not always given credit for ac-
cumulative sick leave, The
LEADER learned this week.

A check with the legal bureau
of the State Civil Service Depart-
ment showed that the question of
credit for sick leave for State em-
Ployees appointed or promoted
from a preferred list is optional
with the agency,

‘Start From Scratch’

A survey among State em-
Ployees brought to light one in-
stance within the past month
where a state employee with over
20 days of accumulated sick leave
on the job was told by the new
department “you'll have to start
from scratch here,”

Personnel officers in several
other state departments told The
LEADER: “We always give credit
for sick leave to those employees
appointed from a preferred list,
who lost their former state job

through no fault of their own,”

‘Sniping Hits
Discrimination

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 — U. S,
civil service officials are concerned
over the sniping at the members
lof the new Fair Employment Board,
This board was set up to deal with
cases where discrimination is
charged on the basis of race,
creed, color or religion.

cDonough Says Employees
ave Duty to Organize

TFORD, Conn., Oct, 25 —
Hit) F. McDonough, Executive
presentative of The Civil Service
ployees Association, comprising
Py, State, county and local gov-
ment employees, one of the
jncipal speakers at the annual
nrerence of the New England
ployees Association, discussed
Pye Part An Employees’ Associa-
in Plays in Public Service.”
“qt is certain,” he told his at-
tive listeners, “that the art of
Fyarnment will neyer rise higher
han the character and ability of
he civil service,
Necessity of Organization
«pyblic workers not only have
ie right but the duty to organize
, strong, effective associations to
Ipbuild public service and to safe-
ard and promote the welfare of
vil. service employees, and to
articipate intelligently and effec-
vely with management at all
mes in the improvement of gov-
nental services," said Mr. Mc-
Donough.
“The civil service employees of
ew York State recognized the
eed for organization as far back
1910. In that year, a small
roup of-State employees organiz-
themselves into an association
nd pledged themselves in brief to
hese two objectives:
“First—to uphold and extend
the principle of merit and fitness
public employment and to main-
jain and promote efficiency in pub-

terests of all civil service em-
ployees,

“We have won, as an organiza-
tion, through intelligent, vigorous
and persistent pleas and publicity,
old age and disability retirement,
abolition of the 72 hour week in
institutional service and the sub-
stitution of a forty-eight hour
week for institutional employees
with pay beyond forty hours, a
maximum forty-hour, five day
week for departmental employees,
a four week vacation period, leave
for ten holidays, a twelve-day-per-
year sick leave accumulative to
150 days, and other good employ-
ment practices.

“Through our organization we
have raised the basic salary scales
from among the lowest in progres-
sive jurisdictions, This has meant
an increased income for State
workers of many millions of dol-
lars, particularly since 1938 when
the Association’s salary plan was
adopted, and emergency pay of
many more millions since 1943,
with an additional emergency ap-
propriation for the current year of
$21,000,000. The gaining of each
salary adjustment required a tre-
mendous amount of educational
work with legislators, executives,
and the people, before it was fin-
ally approved.”

Publicity and Public Relations

Mr. McDonough recounted the
growth and development of public
service in the United States from

ic service, and
“Secondly—to advance the in-

the founding of the union and the

patronage squabbles and spoils of
office up to 1883, when the first
merit system law was adopted,
The conflict didn’t stop them, he
commented, but an ideal was es-
tablished. The growth of the merit
system produced better and better
qualified public employees, he said.

In his comprehensive speech Mr,
McDonough dwelt also on public-
ity and public relations as an im-
portant arm of employee assecia-
tion activities and told of the
varied aspects of this part of the
Association's work. He told of the
important part that The Civil Ser-
vice LEADER performs in that
work. He said: 5

“We have a contract with a
weekly paper, The Civil Service
LEADER, to carry Association
news and articles dealing with
our program, and we keep the
facts as to salaries, hours, civil
service administration, and so on
currently before our membership
and as this paper is read by legis-
lators and executive and admin-
istrative heads of government we
have a medium for constructive
criticism that is invaluable. No
public official likes adverse critic-
ism. We do criticize courteously
but firmly and sharply if we find
public officials disregarding social
justice and moral laws in dealing
with personnel problems, And it is
necessary and effective to have
a weekly publication that goes
beyond our own membership and
more or less
culation,”

Assn. Resolutions Map Program

HE chosen delegates of the chapters and departments
have presented their resolutions to the Annual Meet-

ing of the Association. These resolutions have had the
careful consideration of the important and able Resolu-
tions Committee and they have, for the most part, been
accepted and mandated by the action of the delegates.

These resolutions form the basic framework for the
program of the Association for the new year 1948-9. They
include some things old and some things new, but all of
them vital to me or to you.

I plan to write about the major issues covered in these
resolutions in future columns.

Today I wish to view the resolutions as a somewhat
unified and coherent body of Association doctrines and to
indicate some of its potency and pertinence,

Problem Always Here

There are, of course, many problenis that are always
with us, and we can and should constantly try to do some-
thing about them. These include salaries and wag
working hours, overtime pay, pensions and retirement,
discrimination of all kinds, late pay checks, favoritism in
appointment, promotion and discharge, political manipula-
tion of or intrusion into civil service administration.

Salary adjustments to meet rising costs and prices will
always remain the number one objective of the Associa-
tion. We have not asked for any increase % our salaries
as measured in real dollars during the post war years of
inflation. We have merely tried to keep up with the rising
costs of living. Second only to salary problems come
Pensions and the Retirement System. Here the Associa-
tion has long had a broad program designed to bring the
retirement plan into proper relationship with present costs
and employment conditions. In my opinion, we ean no
longer be satisfied with excuses and a delaying policy.
We must redouble our efforts to get a living pension as
well as a living wage for our members.

Intelligent Civil Service

The Association is vitally interested in a Civil Service
Administration that has a conscience and intelligence and
thateuses both equally. The time will come when the
lion will sit down with the lamb, that is when the admin-
istration will sit down regularly with the employee to
consider the health of the State and Local Governments
and to work out better ways of working together for com-
mon ends,

Welfare of Members

‘As a whole, these resolutions testify to the real interest
of the Association in the welfare of every member. They
show that the Association is alert to new problems as these
arise, and is ready to deal with them. They indicate that
the Association is loyal and patriotic and will have no
truck with subversive groups or individuals. They demon-
strate that the Association exists to serve all the people
of the State by aiding its members to operate the many
vital public services of government with high efliciency
and unquestioned integrity,

which the objectives and the high
ideals of.government service are
kept before him.

The civil service is a bulwark
of democracy, It is the very heart
of government, The civil servant—
whatever his job—is a defender
of the peace, a builder of the bet-
ter world which must ultimately
emerge from the shadows now ob-
scuring our future. His role is en-
hanced in importance duifing these
unsettled times when scarcely a
week passes without a new storm
warning issuing from some part
of the globe,

The connection between a single
unspectacular job and the total
effort of the public service may
seem, sometimes, discouragingly
remote. It is not. The whole is
‘the sum of i@ parts, and this
axiom has no truer application

The Merit System
Under Attack

HE merit system is today undergoing the subtlest at-

tacks it has ever suffered,

dictions.

This is true in all juris-

On the Federal front, jobs can be filled—and

are—in a dozen ways that evade true merit selection, In
the State, the number of exempt, provisional, and tempor-

ary poi

ons remains unaccountably high; and political

considerations enter into the filling of many posts, In NYC,
employees who have exhausted their increments must fre-
quently crawl to a political bigwig to get a pay increase;
and here, too, whether or not one holds certain jobs de-
pends only on the party one belongs to.

In coming months, The LEADER plans to document

deviations from merit.

But now, an observation; As bad as the increasing
power of patronage, is the lackadaisical public attitude
toward it. Public employees have an enormous task in re-
educating the general public to the concept that a good
merit system means good government,

ters the tenth year of its opera-
tion, we are gratified at the many
evidences of good-will and respect,

LEADER,
Vigorous Defender

From Fran Hogan, Dis
Attorney, New York County:

I am happy to join your many
well-wishers in congratulating the
Civil Service Leader on its tenth
anniversary,

It is scarcely more than a decade
ago that you and I were associated
together in the Special Rackets
Investigation. Little did either of
us suspect at that time that today
I, as District Attorney, would be
felicitating you on achieving your
tenth year as the succesful pub-
lisher of an outstanding civil ser-
vice weekly.

Tt has been a pleasure to watch
the progress of The LEADER.
It serves not only as a valuable
organ of factual information for
the civil service employees in the
County, City, State and Federal
offices, but also as a vigorous de-
fender of the interests of that
great body of devoted public ser-
vants. In fulfilling this worthy
objective, The LEADER. displays
at the same time an intelligent
and realistic awareness of the
problems of administration. Lib-
ere} in its outlook, constructive
anti responsible in its criticism
of public policies, it is never ani-
mated by any doctrinaire or pary
tisan spirit. In this sense The
LEADER has rendered a distinct
service to its readers and the
cause of good government,

With best wishes for The
LEADDPR's continued success and
wih warm personal regards.

‘Adjunct to Our
Own Operations’

From Harold Keller, Commissioner,
State Department of’ Commerce:

Ten years ago, when The Civil
Service LEADER embarked upon
a career that has been of real use-
fulness to all levels of govern-
ment and to the workers who
serve in government, there was no
State Department of Commerce.
Our agency was created as a Div-
ision in the Executive Department
seven years ago and as a full-
fledged Department four years
ago.

During the years of our growth,
we have come to look upon your
publication as an important ad-
Junct to our own operations, This
attitude is typical of all State
agencies with whom we are in
contact. It is a pleasure, there-
fore, for the New York State De-
partment of Commerce to salute
The Civil Service LEADER on this
occasion and to wish it many
more decades of service,

HAROLD KELLER,
Commissioner, State Department
of Commerce

Civil Service—Bulwark of
Democracy

From J. Edward Conway, President,
State Civil Service Commission:

As your flourishing enter,rise
sWings into its tenth year of pub-
lication, I am happy to exten
to you my congratulations and
sincere wishes that in decades to
come it may grow and prosper.
The Civil Service LEADER serves
a real need. The thoroughness and
regularity with which it is read
teday by thousands of public em-
ployees is a measure of its useful-
ness.
All of us who are concerned
with the improvement and streng-
thening of the public service have
before us a challenging task, Your
newspaper, besides fulfilling its
function of bringing up-to-date
information to the public em-
ployee about matters that directly
concern his welfare and progress,
serves also as & medium through

than to us who work for govern-
ment. Though each of us plays
only a minute part, we must think
of our work in large terms, of each
job in relation to all the others,
You have an enviable opportun.

ity, through the pages of the
LDADER, to keep before the goy-
ernment worker the high pur-
pose toward which we are all
working, to help him see the ur-
gency of the job to be done and
the importance of doing it well.
Your efforts in this respect rep-
resent a significant contribution
to the public good,

J. EDWARD CONWAY

State Civil Service Comm.

Kaplan Bestows
‘All Honor’

From the Executive Director of the
National Civil Service League:

Government—the biggest busi-
ness in the world—depends for its
successful operation largely on the
competence and stability of our
public service, The first front in
carrying out and giving effect to
governmental policies in our con-
cept of democratic action is our
civil, service, Our governmental
machinery would long ago have
jolted to a grinding halt were it
not for the host of earnest, con-
scientious, efficient and often in-
spired workers who make the
wheels of government go ‘round.
Too often and for much too long
these faithful public servants have
been unappreciated by an un-
gracious part of the public which
has held them in none too high
esteem, through ignorance rather
than anything else.

Private enterprise can claim no
monopoly on progress, accom-
plishment and efficiency. The gov-
evrnment service shares equally in
that direction. Improvement of
the public service can only be
retarded by unfounded attacks,
or by sneering at those who man
our government agencies. The
unthinking who take peculiar de-
Nght in belittling the civil ser-
vice as a refuge for those allegedly
seeking to shun responsibility or
as a haven for the less competent,
should remember that we owe to
our civil servants many of the
greatest monuments to our econ-
omic and social progress, The
Panama Canal, the Grand Coulee
and Boulder Dams, the Garand
rifle, the macadamized road, the
Hollerith tabulating machine, dip.
theria antitoxin, radar, and the
“wonder-drug” streptomycin, and
a host of other accomplishments
—all are products of the inven-
tiveness, ingenuity and untiring
industry of public employees.

‘When, in one of his messages
to the Congress, President Frank-
lin D, Roosevelt, like many of his
predecessors, called on critics of
government employees to look be-
hind the personnel statistics to
the work the employees de, he un-
doubtedly had in mind not only
what has been done by such illus-
trious scientists, engineers and ad~-
ministrators as these, but the an-
onymous hard workers who do the
routine, unglamorous and indis-
pensable tasks in protecting and
serving the people, and the tech-
nicians and administrators who
modestly sought neither money nor
publicity and are known only
| through their.outstanding achieve-
ments for the public welfare.

All honor to these the “little
people,” who from day to day
make our government run so
smoothly and effectively, and
congratulations to The LEADER,
which serves them so well, The
ten years of your existence have
been fruitful to government and
its employees, and The LEADER'S
ever-increasing prestige and power
should indicate the still higher
peaks that it will scale in the
years to come,

Meets a Very

Particular Need

From Perry B. Duryea, Commis-
sioner, State Conservation Department:
It has just come to my attention

situation which
and hazards.

97 Duane Street,

publisher,

is entering its tenth year of pub-
lication as a newspaper devoted
to the interests of public em-
ployees,

With the many advances that
have been made and the changes
that have occurred in public ser-
vice during the last decade it has
become increasingly - important
that public employees be more
fully informed regarding the role
that they play in advancing the
service of government, Th my own
Department the large majority of
our employees are engaged in the
field and these employees are sta-
tioned over the length and breath
of the state, I am sure that the
LEADER meets a very particular
need in bringing to these em-
ployees information of interest to
them and for the dissemination of
which no other medium is avatl-
able. You are to be congratulated
on the success that your paper has
achieved since its inception and I
am sure that it will find in the
future increasing opportunity for
service to public employees,

Good Government

Is the Theme

From Herman T, Stichman, Direc-
tor, State Division of Housing:

My congratulations to you and
your staff of The Civil Service
LEADER upon entering your
tenth year of service to the hun-
dreds of thousands of employees
who keep the wheels of govern-
ment running smoothly and effici-
ently,

In one decade your publication
has become outstanding in its de-
votion to the welfare of Civil Ser-
vice employees and the promotion
of good government. It is entirely
fitting, therefore, that “Good
Government” is the theme mark-
ing the celebration of your ten
years of accomplishment,

Let me wish you continued suc-
cess in your good work,

HERMAN T. STICHMAN

U.S. Job Opportunities
In NYC for Disabled Vets
Being Prepared by Board

The U. S. Civil Service Commis-
sion is preparing a list of exam-
inations open to 10-point prefer-
ence veterans. It is expected to
be ready in a few weeks and will
contain only those examination
titles which present actual oppor-
tunities for employment. The jobs
are in the metropolitan district,

Those entitled to 10-point pre-
ference are persons who establish
a claim to preference as: (a) A
disabled veteran; (b) the wife of
a disabled veteran who is dis-
qualified for appointment because
of his service-connected disabil-
ity; (c) the widow (who has not
remarried) of a deceased ex-ser-
vice man who served in the armed
forces of the United States on
active duty during any war or in
any creditable campaign or ex-
pedition; or (d) the widowed,
divorced, or legally separated
mother of certain deceased or dis-
abled ex-service sons or daughters.

10 Points Added to Score
meet the foregoing
qualifications may apply, under

the Veterans’ Preference Act of
1944 and the civil service regula-

Those who

tions, for any position in the Fed~-
eral service to which probational
appointment has been made in the
past three years or for any posi-
tion for which there is in exist-
ence or about to be established a
list of eligibles resulting from
open-competitiye examination, but
the positions to be listed are
“those which at this time appear
to offer reasonable possibilities of
appointment,” says the Commis-
sion.

The 10-point preference refers
to the fact that those entitled
to it get 10 points added to their
earned score in a test, hence the
pass mark for them is 10 points

Higher Nursing Pay
Argued Before Board

ALBANY, Oct. 25—The State
Salary Standardization Board
listened intently to the impressive
arguments of speakers favoring
upward reallocation of positions
in the nursing service, at a hear-
ing on Friday. The arguments
were made by The Civil Service
Employees Association, which has
made the reallocation of nursing
jobs one of its top projects.

William F. McDonough, Execu-
tive Representative of the Associa-
tion, opened the presentation with
a plea to the Board to view the
subject with a new outlook pred-
icated not only on the intrinsic
value of the services rendered but
also on the social significance of
the nursing service, the need for
encouraging it and the heavy de-
mands placed upon nursing per-
sonnel by official duties.

Seven titles were discussed. The

titles, present allocation and re-
quested reallocation follow:

Present Requested

Title Grade Grade
Staff Nurse . 13
Head Nurse ..... 9 18
Supervising Nurse ....12 23
Chief Nurse ..... 28
Instructor Nurse . 10 19
Asst. Principal Nurse, .14 24
Principal Nurse .. 20 29

Others who spoke, and the group
for which they asked reallocation,
were Mrs, Frances Barnard, of
Brooklyn State Hospital, Staff
Nurses; J, Blazowski, of Central
Islip, Head Nurses; Frederick J.
Walters, of Middletown State Hos-
pital, Supervisors and Chief Su-
pervisors; Elizabeth McSweeney,
of Manhattan State, Instructors,
and Mrs. Marion Ves, of Hudson
River State Hospital, Assistant
Principal and Principal Nurses,

Decision was reserved.

from the large number of dec-
linations for temporary reasons.
These declinations may be with-
drawn by the eligibles, by so noti-
fying the Municipal Civil Service
Commission, 229 Broadway, New
York 7, N. Y. Their names would
then be certified without delay as
the Welfare Department still has
provisionals in the title.

The present eligible list, except
for the expiration of time periods
imposed on declinations, and the
possibility that of withdrawals of
declinations, is exhausted.

Last ‘Live’ Name Certified

The last name has been certi-
fied to Welfare Commissioner
Raymond W. Hilliard. Some addi-
tional certifications will become
practicable within a few weeks as

declinations accepted for a lim-

ited period will have expired.

Commissioner Hilliard wrote to
Budget Director Thomas J. Pat-
terson, giving the statistics of ap-
pointments and resignations, Of
1,222 names certified, only 689
have been appointed, and there
are 824 present vacancies. The
resignations exceeded the ap-
pointments.

President McNamara inclined
to agree with Commissioner Hil-
liard that the experience in filling
jobs as the result of the examina-
tion was disappointing,

Jobs Pay $52

The total pay is $52 a week,
$2,710 a year.

There is no possibility of higher
salary being offered for the posi-
tion in the present budget, Thom-

Rules to include candidates who
attained 60.01 to 69.99 among the
eligibles, if it did not result in
the Commission ascribing 70 per
cent, for then the test would not
be competitive.

The case, that of Lane versus
McNamara, was one of two in-
volving the Sergeant examination
that were argued before Justice
Steuer.

Commissions Wins Second Case

In the other one, George Blum-
enthal as representative petitioner
complained that the Commission
had not conformed to a Court of
Appeals decision that, where best
answers were called for in the
Sergeant examination paper, a
single answer was necessary. The
Commission, in reconsidering nine

Key Answers
in Sergeant
ed by Court

questions objected to for multipli-
city of answers, decided to strike
out two questions as not permit-
ting a best answer. Justice Steuer
held that the Court of Appeals de-
cision had approvingly anticipated
deleting of some questions.

President Joseph A. McNamara,
of the Municipal Civil Service
Commission, announced that, un~
less Corporation Counsel John P.
McGrath objected, the Commis-
sion would promulgate and certify
the Sergeant list to Police Com-
missioner Arthur W. Wallander at
his request. It is known that Com-
missioner Wallander is desirous of
making permanent Sergeant pro-
motions, as there are numerous
Acting Sergeants.

The Commission is prepared to
certify as soon as the order ef-
fectuating the decision is signed
by Justice Steuer. Such signature
would terminate the stay which
prohibited use of the list for pro-
motions.

An appeal is expected to
taken in both cases, but such
tion would not continue any ex
ing stay, although under special
and unusual circumstances it is
Possible to obtain a stay pending
appeal.

Clerk Jobs

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 — A
movement is under way to provide
written examinations for entrance
into the higher-pay clerical jobs
in government service — those
paying up to $5,600 a year. Until
now, employees have been selected
for these posts on the basis of ex-
perience and education. Their du-
ties cover so wide an area, how-
ever, that this method of selection
is not eonsidered entirely satisfac-
tory.

On the other hand, Federal
examiners haven’t determined just
what kind of written test will show
who is really good and who isn’t.
They’re working on the problem
now.

Decision Expected Soon
In Vet Counselor Case

ALBANY, Oct, 25—A decision
will soon be rendered by the Sup-
reme Court in the proceeding in-
stituted by Frank J. FitzGerald
and others in April to void the
[eligible lists for the positions of
State Veteran Counselor and Sen-
for State Veteran Counselor, Div-
ision of Veterans Affairs.

Mr, FitzGerald heads a group
of approximately 40 Veteran
Counselors, presently employed,
who charge illegality and irreg-
ularity.

Samuel Resnicoff, counsel for
the group, who obtained a stay
restraining the State Civil Service
Commission from making any ap-
pointments, explains that a con-
siderable number of intricate legal
questions were considered by the
court, requiring extensive research,
‘The decision will be of paramount
importance, said Mr. Resnicoff, as
the court will be called upon to
Pass upon the authority of the
Commission to delegate its func-
tion to prepare examination
questions.

Appeal From Rate of Pay

The actions instituted by the
Maintenance Men employed by
the Department of Welfare and
the NYC Housing Authority to
reverse @ prevailing rate determ-
ination made by Comptroller Laz-
arus Joseph will be argued short-
ly in the Appellate Division.

Appointments Nov. 15

Names of Sanitation Man, Class
B, eligibles have been certified to
Commissioner William J. Powell
so he may make 762 permanent
appointments. The certification
exhausts the number of disabled
veterans. All the others certified
are non-disabled veterans.

‘The appointments will be made
as of November 15. However, it is)
not certain that the full 762 can

A rather large number of candi-

partment will not appoint them
as long as a leave is required for

‘The November
inations to be he

ries of exam-
by NYC will

be open for receip! of applica-
tions from Tuesday, the 9th, to
Friday, the 26th, The Civil Ser-

vice Commission will decide
week exactly what

r2cted that three of the open-
competitive tests will be for

for medical titles.

No Steno Test Yet

Not included in the list is the
examination for Stenographer,
‘When this is announced the Com-
mission will begin an experiment
in having an examination con-
tinuously open. The experiment
probably will start with the Dec-
ember series, and Typist, Grade
2, may be included, on the same
continuous basis

this
examinations

in November

The fact that a new Typist
examination is being considered
for the December series indicates
that the list in this title that was
published recently will be ex-
hausted rapidly,

For Typists the rate of 40 words
a minute will be the pass mark in
the performance tes instead of
45, while for Stenographer dic-
tation must be taken at 90 words
a minute for five minutes, instead
of 110 words,

Seton Hospital Employees
To Be Reclassified

The NYC Civil Service Com-
mission, at a special meeting,
adopted a resolution recommend-
ing the reclassification of the em-
ployees of Seton Hospital, The
Bronx, which the City has taken
over, The hospital was run by
the Sisters of Charity, There are
about 200 employees.

The reclassification will be ef-
fectuated under the laws as they
exist at the time that the effec-
tuating resolution ts adopted, Such
a resolution would constitute ad-
mitted employees as City workers,

For Bill on Fire Hours

Paul O'Dwyer, Democratic can-

didate for Congress in NYC's 21st
Congressional District, urged voters
to vote Yes on Proposition No. 1
at the November 2 election, to
legalize Firemen's hours,

Mr. O'Dwyer had_ previously
urged a liberalized retirement sys-
tem with minimum pensions, he
additionally calls for a proper
grading of civil service positions
and more adequate salaries for
public workers. His campaign is
being managed by former Senator
Abraham Kaplan, who for 13
years had been President of the
NYC Municipal Civil Service
Commission,

To Be Issued Nov. 4

The eligible list for promotion

Welfare, is scheduled to be pub-
lished by the N¥C Civil Service
Commission on Thursday, Nov~
ember 4, This is the last of the
departmental promotion lists in
this title and was delayed because
record and seniority ratings were
challenged by the Commission.

‘The medical-physical tests were

be promulgated fast, because of
the large number of provisionals
in the titles. The promulgation
was advanced ahead of that for
Fireman (F.D.), as there are some
names left on the Fireman list,
and no appointments from the
prospective Fireman list will be
made until after the first of the
year.

Paul M, Brennan, director of the
medical-physical bureau, reported
to President Joseph A. McNamara
of the NYC Civil Service Com-
mission, on the results of the
triple test, The report showed
that 5,461 passed the written test,

Department, who at that particu-
lar time were working 84 hours
each week. Aside from fire and
smoke, fatigue is the worst enemy
of a fire-fighter. The NYC Fire-
men, during World War IL, were
compelled to work these arduous
hours. The frequency of line of
duty injuries reached an all time
high of 400 each month—these
men being injured responding to
alarms or injured in fighting fires.
cae fatality rate was exceedingly
igh.
Statistics Confirm Improvement

“During the past 12 months,
seven Firemen were killed in the
discharge of their duty, consider-
ably fewer than during the war
period. The line-of-duty injuries
have been reduced to approxim-
ately 200 a month. In the early
part of this administration, the
average man-days of sick leave
amounted to approximately 12,500
each month. On the occasion of
inaugurating the new system of
hours during the month of Janu-
ary, 1948, sick leave was reduced
to 7,500 man-days for that par-
ticular month.

“At the time of the establish-
ment of the straight three-platoon
system, the quota of Firemen for
carrying out these working hours
was 9,444. During the past two
and one-half years, I have been
able to change assignments and
adjust the working conditions so
that this quota has been reduced
to 8,756, a saving to the City and
to its taxpayers of $2,855,200 each
year.

“Under the above circumstances,
I sincerely appeal to my fellow
citizens to vote ‘Yes’ on Proposi-
tion No. 1 and by so doing legalize
the present hour system and con-
tinue the improvement of the
efficiency, morale and health of
the NYC Firemen.”

UFA Rally for Eligibles

The Uniformed Firemen’s As-
sociation, which is leading the
drive for the enactment of the
Proposition, will hold a mass rally
tomorrow (Wednesday) at 8 P.M.
in Washington Irving High School,
Irving Place and 16th Street, to
insure active support by present
and prospective Firemen eligibles.
President John P. Crane invited
all present and imminent eligibles

Zaretzki Favors Adoption
Of Mitchell Preference Bill

Senator Joseph Zaretzki, the
regular Democratic and Liberal
Party candidate for re-election in
the 23rd Senatorial District, Man-
hattan, has made several talks
before American Legion Posts in
his district, urging the adoption
of the Mitchell Bill for veteran
preference in civil service, rather
than the Condon Bill. He feels
that the point system provided in
the Mitchell Bill is fairer to both
veteran and non-veteran civil
service employees, as well as the
community at large. He has al-
ways been a staunch supporter
of the civil service employee.

The 23rd Senatorial District
covers the territories known as
Marble Hill, Inwood, Washington
Heights, Sugar Hill and Upper
Harlem.

about 5,880 names will be pub-
Mished by the NYC Civil Service
Commision next month,

‘fhere are more than 2,000 pro-
yisionals in the title,

‘The Commission is already ap-

lying the policy of rushing the

igible lists for those titles in
which there are the greatest num-
er of provisionals,

The Medical-Physical Bureau,
of which Paul M, Brennan
director, would have to process a
large number of prospective eli-
id quickly, so that around

000 medically acceptable would
be on the list, and the Bureau
of Investigation, of which Edward
Dobbins is director, likewise would
have to approve an equal number,

Ready for Fast Pace

“I have notified the Commis-
sion, said Mr. Brennan, “that the
Medical-Physical Bureau is ready
to proceed at a fast rate, just as
soon as the Auto Engineman med-
icals are completed.”

The scheduled date for the
completion of the Auto Engineman
medicals is November 15, and the
Medical-Physical Bureau would be
ready to start the next day on the

with character, take more time,

The policy of combining the in-
vestigation and medical test on
the same days for the same can-
didates, inaugurated in the Ty-
pist Grade 2, test, is being pur-
sued also in the Clerk, Grade 2
examination, The candidates fill
out the personal history cards
when they appear for the medical,
which is only a qualifying test.
This method makes matters easier
for the candidates and also ex-
pedites the work of the Commis-
sion, said President Joseph A.
McNamara, He added that the
Commission probably could pub-
lish the list next month,

The Commission has refrained
from publishing lists wholly sub-
ject to war veteran preference
claims, medical test and investi-
gation, to avoid appointments that
may have to be revoked. The Com-
mission would promulgate the list,
so that it would be useful for ap-
pointments, as soon as all dis-
abled war veteran preference
claims are cleared by the Veterans
Administration, There are not
many such claims, as the list
consists mostly of women. The
disabled veterans would be cer-
tified at once and non-disabled
veterans next, as soon as @ sub-~
‘stantial number of their claims
is perfected,

The list is now in the Com-
mission’s computing room, where
scores are being checked and rel-
ative positions of eligibles estab-
lished on the basis of percentage.
The appointment order will be
different because of war veteran
preference,

Court: to Hear’ Pelition

To Grant Prevailing Rates
For Graded Employees

Comptroller Lazarus Joseph's
determination dismissing claims
for prevailing rate of wages for |
Board of Transportation Struc-
ture Maintainers, Car Maintain-
ers and others will be argued)
shortly in the Apellate Division.

In January, 1947, the Comp-
troller made a determination dis-

ig all of the claims filed for}

ailing rate of wages on the|
grounds that the provisions of
the Labor Law were not appli-
cable to employees who were
graded,

In February, 1947, Michael Cor-
rigan, on behalf of the Structure
Maintainers and Structure Main-
tainer Helpers, instituted a pro-
ceeding to set aside this dete
mination, Samuel Resnicoff
counsel for this group,

The other group, representeg,
by Bernard A, Abrashkin, Sena-
tor Sidney A. Fine, and Monahan,

Idberg, McNamee, Bredin &
Shea, instituted similar proceed-
ings. Upon consent, ali of the
proceedings were consolidated and
referred to the Appellate Division.
These hearings have been going
on since 1938 and voluminous min-
utes have been taken,

The case on appeal has been
printed and is now being checked,

Commission to Speed Up
Issuance of Eligible Lists

The normal average time be-
tween the date of a written test
and the publication of the eligible
list has been eight months, but
the NYC Civil Service Commission
expects to reduce the gap mater-
jally soon after the first of the
year, President Joseph A, Mc-
Namara said, Also, it will try
to get out before the end of the
year, all lists now being processed.

‘This year, he explained, ‘the
Commission had to contend with
large examinations, such as those
for Fireman, Sanitation Man,
Class B, Social Investigator and
the Board of Transportation ex-
aminations and the wind-up of
the Patrolman (P.D,) examina-
tion, hence the average length of

Transportation Board
Bulletin Gives Employees
Advice on Office Practice

Secretary William Jerome Daly
has sent to heads of departments,
divisions, bureaus and offices, by
authority of the Board of Trans- |
portation, the first of a series of |
five weekly bulletins constituting
an office primer on correspond-
ence, office practice, forms and
styles, with some hints on how
to write letter

Under the heading of “General”,
the bulletin counsels employees to
keep abreast of events by reading
daily newspapers and civil service
newspapers “about matters con-
cerning your City and your job
in the Board of Transportation.”

‘The employees are advised that
the title “Honorable” should be
used only for those elected to pub-
lie office, or cabinet. members or
representatives of foreign govern-
ments.

Here's another pointer:

“Neyer tell any one to ‘take’ the
subway, trolley or bus. It is pre-

Nwferable to say ‘Use the Washing-

ton Heights express A’, or ‘Travel
the BMT Brighton Line’ or ‘Board
the Smith Street bus.’ ”

Unions Want Eligibility
For Auto Enginemen

NYC District Council 37, Amer-
ican Federation of State, County
and Munitipal Bmployees, AFL,
through its president, Henry Fein-
stein, has requested the Municipal
Civil Service Commission to make
city employees in the title of
Auto Engineman eligible for the
current examination for promo-
tion to Foreman of Asphalt
Workers,

The District Council asserts
that many Auto Enginemen are
directly concerned with asphalt
work operations ahd therefore are
fully qualified to compete in the
designated promotion examina-
tion,

In view of the above fact the

District Council has requested that
the examination be postponed un-
til after a hearing to determine
facts as to the eligibility of Auto
Enginemen and reasons for deny-
ing them opportunity to compete.

“The previous examination for
this title was open to Auto En-
| ginemen,” declared Mr. Feinstein,
|“and we cannot understand why
they have been denied entry into
‘this subsequent competition.”

The NYC Civil Service Com-
mission has set December 1 as

aminations that must be held so
that provisionals will be replaced
by permanent employees.

“The program of examinations
will be tentative, as emergencies
and other necessities may oc-
casion changes, but the list will
Bive a good insight into what's
ahead,” said President Joseph
A. McNamara.

279 New Exams

in the order of the largest number
figured at about 2,000,

of provisionals. The examinations
will be held in the direct order
of the total number of provision-
als in the titles. To accomplish
this, the Commission required in-
formation on the number of pro-
visionals in the various titles, re~
gardless of department, As it had
only the department-provisional
ist, it asked John Curren, head
of the record department, to pre-
pare the new list, which he is
doing.

The total number of examina-
tions will be 279 and the Com-
mission is faced with a problem
