Rate For

New 55-Year Plan Told

Since
deal of misunderstanding concern-
ing the of contribution under
the new 53-year plan, Section

71-A of the Retirement and So-|

cial Security Law passed during

the 1957 legislative session, an ex-)|

planation of the method used has
been issued by the Civil Service
Employees Association.

Under the new 55-year plan,
each member who elects to par-
tleipate and who under ordinary
cireumatances would have a de-
ficiency in their antiuity savings
account is being assigned a token
rate of ', of 1% as @ payment
toward this deficiency, This may

result in a different rate than
the old 55-year plan
In the case of » 4% member,

those members who became mem-
bers prior to July 1, 1943 who pre-
viously had been assigned a token

of 1% toward the defictency, such |

rate will decrease by ' of 1%
since this new rate will be one-
half of 1% less. In a case of a

3% member, thone members who,

became members subsequent to
July 1, 1943 who have elected to
participate in the 85-year plan
and who would have rad a deft-
ciency, the rate will remain the
same.

In the oase of members who
elected the 55-year plan when they
became such members during the
period from 1950 to 1954, there
was no token payment due to the
fact that there was no deficiency.
These members now will have a

deficiency, and the rate will be in-
creased by ‘4 of 1% os a token
payment toward that deficiency
‘Therefore, their rate under the
new plan will be of 1% greater

than their old rate
Where a member has liquidated

his deficiency under section 71
(the old 55-year plan), it must
now be assumed that there will

be a deficiency under section 71-4
ithe new 55-year plan). The rate
under this plan must be changed

from the higher rate that he was
paying under the old plan, to the
basic 55-year rate under the new
plan, plus 2 of 1% aa a token
payment toward the new defi-
clency

es, the deficiency wi!

In all
ber u
will be advised and given the same
cholce of repayment as under the
previous 55-year plan,

|No Trooper
Bias Found

ALBANY, Dec, 16— The State
Commission Against Discrimina-
tion has cleared the Division of
| State Police of charges it discrim-
| inated against three Negro eandi-
dates for appointment as troopers.
| The report was issued by
J. Edward Conway, investigating
commissioner, who sald he had
dismissed the complaints brought
by the three applicants on the
basis, “there is no probable cause
to credit the allegations . .

The applicants who filed com-
plaints of discrimination with the
jcommission are Albert L. Clark,
New York City, Charles M. Coop-
er, Yonkers, and Alvaro A. Dalton,
Brooklyn,

Commissioner Conway held,
however, that since there are no
Negroes, presently employed, by
the State Police this had given
“the aspect of discrimination.” He
concluded: “However, in and by
itself, it is not sufficient to sus-
tain a conclusion of discrimina-
tion

Positive Action Promised

Mr. Conway reported the State
Police had agreed " to take pos
tive action” to correct any erron-
eous belief that discrimination
exists against Negro applicants,

In reporting his findings, Com-

Mr. Dalton had passed the physi-

number of infractions charged
against him while he was per

Mr. Conway said his investiga-
tion had disclosed that the State
Police had hired two Negro troop-
ers in prior years, Both, he said
had resigned voluntarily and had
written the State Police expressing
thelr confidence in the agenoy.

also expressed satisfaction that

THE PUBLIC
EMPLOYEE

By JOHN F. POWERS
President

Civil Service Employees Association
er eCEWES roa]

New Views Needed on Local Government

One of the phenomena of modern American government Is the
rapid growth in size and complexity of the local unit. When com-
pared with the government at the Federal level, the change is marked.
About 1045, for example, the number of civil servants on the Ped-
eral Jevel equalled the number of employees on the local level. Sines
that date the curve showing the growth in number of the local em~-
ployees has been steadily upward, while the Pederal curve has re-
mained practically the same. Today there are more than twice the
number of people employed by local government as there are in the

Federn] service.
The reasons for this are many—and obvious. The increase fn
population and the definite influence of the increasing use of the

automobile are two of the most important.

this trek has brought additional problems of schools, sanitation, pro-
tection, traffic control, etc, The railroads wt the suburban stations,
hte shopping centers, and the main streets have become definitely
consclous of the growing traffic congestion during the pnst decade.

More Service, More Civil Servants

Whatever the problems in the cities and counties, the effort of
the community to resolve them has always resulted in greater gov-
ernmental service and more civil servants.

Obviously the increase in the number of civil servants In the local
unit has brought an increase In the human personnel problem, Some
of the communities have been realistic in facing the new issues; others
have been laggard. Some of the local fathers have recognized that
there is very little difference today in living costs between town and
country, but there are other fathers who still think of thelr com-
munitics with @ nostal; reflecting the easter and less costly days of
the plowhorse and the carbon lamp,

Programs Needed

In the light of these changes, the county chaptera of the Civil
Service Employees Association and the parent organization are con
fronted with a difficult question—how best to serve the clvll employee
in the city, county, town, village, ov district section. A formal organ-
ization exists for such servants within the employees association. What |
is lacking is a realization on the part of the local group of the part
they play in giving the organization life.

There are thousands of local government unlis in New York
State, Very rarely can a personnel problem be resolved for all of the
local unils through a legislative decree from Albany, Each unit de-
mands its own solution. It therefore is imperative that the county
ehapter carefully consider all of the questions of thelr constituent
members—and {t ls furthermore imperative that these considerations
be reduced to the formalism of a program. If each county chapter
would, each year, well before the time of the meetings of the local
Jegislative bodies, Inform the parent organization in time so that the
headquarters staff could give its support to the gaining of the local
goals, the achievement could be much greater, Unfortunately.
have been occasions when the headquarters staff, without previous
warning, has been called on a Wednesday to prevent a salary program
before a local legislative body on a Thursday, A little more planning
would result in a greater effectiveness,

NoFalseEconomy,Please

OLITICAL leaders of both parties in the State have

been murmuring the word “economy” with increasing
frequency these past few weeks and we see a dangerous
omen in this,

All of us want economy in government. Both parties
promise if, But economy has several meanings.

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR

PUZZLED OVER STATE'S
LOW OVERTIME RATES

Edijlor, The Leader:

My husband, a State employee,
gets pald only straight time for
overtime, In winter months he
often works 60 hour's a week, He
often gets called out of bed at 3
or 4 AM. The State gets after
business firms that don’t pay
{ime-and-a-half rates for work
porformed beyond 40 hours in any
given week, We cannot understand
why this disparity exists.

PROBLEMS OF GAINS
FOR MEAGRE MINORITIES
| Editor, The Leader:
| Perhaps the largest considera-
j Hon in any program of employee

higher salaries to meet cost of
living tnereases. In a large group
|of government workers, represen-

Efficient operation of the State, streamlined pro= | agenda of matters to be brought to
cedures, and cutting down waste are kinds of economies

that are a boon to all.

Any attempt to economize at the expense of the
public employee, however, not only is false economy but

also a dangerous one.

This past week, the Federal Government announced

it was raising the pa

y of thousands of scientists and tech-

nicians to keep them from leaving civil service and taking
private employment, and to stimulate recruitment, In so
doing it recognized the need to spend money where it

had to be spent.

New York State must realize it Is in the same posi-
lion. Refusal to grant a wage increase to state workers
will certainly result in a departure from service of a great
many skilled and regular employees. .

To leave salaries as they are will be tantamount to a
decrease because the cost of living has risen steadily since
these workers gained their last adjustment in pay.

To economize on the public employee is false econ-
omy. Both parties must come to the realization that sta-
bility of service ranks higher than false economies,

SOCIAL SECURITY

U.S. Employees Largest
Group Denied Coverage 3)"

EARLY IN 1956, Admintstra-
ton-sponsored bills were intro-
duced in the Congress which
would have extended old-age and
survivors insurance to Federal
employees covered by the U.S.
Civil Service Retirement System.
At public hearings before the Post
Office and Civil Service Commit-
fees of the Senate and the House
of Representatives, the Civil Serv-
ice Commission recommended that
Social Security protection be ex-
fended to the civillan employees
of the Federal Government,

‘The Administration's spokesmen
Pointed out that the retirement
and survivor protection of Federal
employees would be considerably
improved if they, like 13. million
or more employees in private in-
@ustry, had old-age and survivors
Insurance coverage in addition to
their staff retirement system,
They also emphasized that this
eoverage would provide more equi-
table benefits to employees who
shift between Federal employment
and private industry,

‘The measure that the Senate
Passed, however, liberalized the
Civil Service Retirement System
Without extending old-age and
Survivors insurance to employees

covered under the system, The
House of Representatives later
passed a bill similar to the one
approved by the Senate, The legis-
lation was eventually enacted
(Public Law 854), It contained no
provisions for extending old-age
ard survivors insurance to Federal
employees,

‘The more than 2 million Federal
civilian employees now constitute
the largest group without old-age

and survivors insurance coveraye.
Thus, Federal employment is now
the only major type of employ-
ment in which a worker does not
acquire Social Security coverage
and in which he may lose his
previously acquired other protec-
tion. Until an equitable plan for
coordination of old-age and sur-
vivors insurance and Federal re-
Urement systema is put into ef-
fect, many Fede.el employees will
have less adequate retirement and
survivor protection than employ-
een in private industry who are
covered by both social security and
staff retivement systems,

MENTAL HYGIENE MEMO |

By A. J. COCCARO |
Right or Might

Our total employment set up in the State of New York is xo
@omplex that a state official with only surface information would
pot get a true picture of our present problem)

Sometimes changes are made unintentionally that are not to
the best advantage of the employees, These people do not know
your Institution os well as you do or as well as your hospital director
doos. Your iegislators are not experts in the Meld of Mental Hygiene,
nor oan they be experts in the lterally thousands of specialties that
they are required to vote on,

Our problema must be presented to them both on the State level}
aad in each assembly district, We must know our job and be able
to present facts of our work to these representatives, As well as we
know our job, we cannot present them to persons not willing to
Waten to us. |

The strength of our 76,000 member organization should make
alert elected officials cognizant of the fact of the yery large vote
potential our members can muster

Our organization has two important tools to work with this
year. They ore right and might. Both will be used to thelr best ad-
vantage to present your case

Assemblyman Speak:
At @ recent meeting of the N. ¥. Metropolitan Conference, an
enlightened and very sincere member of our State Legislature spoke
to your CS.E.A. delegates. He told them that he is interested in
Stata workers problems and particularly those of our hospital em-
Dioyees. He knows a good deal of their work but wants to learn more,
He feels that the hospital employee {s providing a very important
wervice to the State of New York

CORRECTION CORNER

By JACK SOLOD
Somebody Is Crying "Wolf!"

Government experts and slide rule manipulators are once more
crying “recession.” From Albany we hear talk of expected falling
off in tax collections, In this supposed to be a hint of things to
come? Are State employees being told in a subtle way that money
will be tough to get this year?

| Let's survey the situation thoroughly. In 1949 we had a reces-
| sion; 3% million people were Jobless and wages rose to an all time
high. 1953-64 saw another recession with over 3 million out of work
Once again weekly paychecks hit an all time high: During 1963-54,
| m recession year, State employees went thru a complete reclassificn
tion of salary grades and won raises all along the line,

1958 will once again see weekly paychecks hitting new highs.
Most heavy {ndustries have long term contracts calling for substan-
tial Increases in salary this year, Construction, manufacturing, lum~-
ber, printing, have signed contracts calling for raises up to 20 cents
per hour, It's a safe bet that other industries will settle for no less.

Raises Reported for New Yorke City

Sources close to Mayor Wagner say that N. Y. City employee
will get raises in 1958 Police, firemen and correction officers 4
N. ¥. City start getting more money on Jan,
and Congressmen are agreed that Federal emplo;
this coming year. The President, in vetoing last year's raise, appoint
& subcommittee to study the need for a pay increase for Federal
employees

No matter how the slide rule boys turn the ruler, the answer
will be the same — more money for all labor throughout the country
in 1958.

Orders ave Deing given In Albany to take {t easy in filling non-
essential jobs. That's fine, but how about thousands of essential
vacancies which exist in Mental Hygiene institutions that cannot be
filled because of low pay? Hundreds of vacancies exist in the Cor-
rection Department which are being filled by “temps” because of
inability to recruit competent men at present salaries,

Easy? No, it's never easy to get tax money appropriated for
civil servants, The Civil Service Employees Association will need
the help of all its 75,000 members in the fight for more money in
1958.
