No Curfew
WASHINGTON, —Government
gals: don’t get too excited, Rep-
resentative Earl Wilson's propo-
sal that you go to bed every
night by ten so you'll be in con-
dition for a hard day at the
office the following day hasn't
got a chance in the world of
being enacted into law. The
secret is that former school
teacher Wilson, a Republican
from an Indiana town of 400,
isn’t really serious about his cur-
few proposal.
However, Wilson has the sup-
port of many of his colleagues to
the claim that Federal workers
are inefficient . . , that there are
80 many employees now that they
get in one another's way in Wash-
ington, and that Government su-
pervisors are to blame for much
of the confusion and congestion in
Washington.
But Wilson, who has proposed
that the Congress investigate
these conditions, hasn't got a
chance to get a congressional in-
vestigation, He's a Republican,
and the Democrat - controlled
House isn’t going to let a Repub-
lican steal glory, if they can help
it. However, it's generally be-
lieved the probe would be ordered
in a minute if the investigation
had been suggested by a Demo
erat,
What's likely to happen, is the
revival of the Ellender Commit
tee, a standing Senate committee
to investigate the operation of
Civil Service, Blender hasn't held
a hearing for nearly 18 months
but with the spotlight on Federal
workers again you can expect
Ellender to get Into the spotlight.
Post Office Proposes Overtime Pay;
By CHARLES SULLIVAN
Plan May Affect All Federal Employees
WASHINGTON, — A plan is
being studied whereby Federal
workers would be paid straight
overtime for work of more than
4( hours a week, The LEADER
has learned.
The plan originated in the
Post Office Department, but it
has been adopted by officials in
many other agencies.
Post Office officials are still
studying the plan, Briefly, they
propose that the law be amended
to permit the paying of straight
pay overtime to its thousands of
clerks and carriers and other em-
ployees who are not now covered
by an overtime pay provision,
The Post Office, which must get
clearance from the Budget Bureau
before a bill to that effect Is is-
sued in Congress, believes the
shortage of manpower compels it
to place most of its employees on
a 48-hour work week, In other
words, employees would work six
days of eight hours,
Straight Overtime Pay
However, the Post Office doesn’t
propose that the law be amended
to require its employees to work
a 48-hour week, The 40-hour week
law would stand, but a provision
would be added to give the local
postmaster, on approval of the
Post Office Department, authority
to extend the hours of P.O, em-
ployees, And when hours were
worked over 40 the employees
would be paid straight time. And
not time and a half as Uncle Sam
requires private industry to pay.
The reason for the overtime pay
provision is only too obvious. If

workers were extended to 48 by
law it would be years before the
Congress would reduce the hours,
On the other hand, the overtime
provision could be used with dis-
cretion,
‘Though the Post Office Depart.
ment is considered a ‘‘defense!
agency, it has been hard hit by
the war, and the worst is yet to
come, Business is booming for
the department and thousands of
additional clerks and carriers will
have to be hired to share in the
work load and replace employees
who have been called up by the
Army and the Navy. The Post
Office claims that adequate re-
placements are hard to find,
Like Retirement Act
‘The department was pleased
with the passage of the Rams-
peck-Mead retirement act which
raised to 70 the automatic retire-
ment head or executive issues a
Many Post Office employees had
to be retired at 62 and 65 under
the old law. The department un-
der the new law also can bring
back into the service retired em-
ployees and it plans to do just
that by the thousands, Postal
employees, on the other hand,
don't like the new bill at all.
Word soon got around in Wash-
ington on the Post Office pro-
posal, and it’s the opinion of many
persons here that Congress will
amend the bill, once they get the
chance, to give authority to all
war heads to pay their employees
straight time for overtime,
‘The dual purpose of such a bill
would be to raise by 20 percent the
salary of the Federal employee
who works 48 hours a week, and
to conserve manpower by
making people already on the job
do more work, It would also
eliminate the demand for a war
“bonus” for civilian workers and
it would at last recognize the over-
time that’s being worked by the
“white-collar employees. Uncle
Sam's skilled workmen have been
drawing overtime pay for months,
So have the technical and profes-
sional employees of the War,
Navy, Maritime Commission and
the National Advisory Committee
for Aeronautics,
Navy Affected
In Washington, for example, the
Navy Department has something
like 12,000 white-collar employees.
More than 2,000 of these are pro-
fessional, sub - professional, and
technical; and they collect time
and a half on the extra eight
hours they are compelled to work
each week, The department is on
& compulsory 48-hour week. But
the file clerks, typists, stenogra-
phers and the many other clerical
employees, whose salaries are
much lower in the first place,
aren't given a penny for the ex-
tra. work,
‘These are problems that must
be met and some of the Presi-
dent's closest advisors on person-
nel matters believe they can best
be solved by the straight overtime
provision, Of course, discrimina-
tion would exist but it is quite
likely that the professional and
technical employees now being
paid time and a half would also
be paid straight time under such
a plan,
May a Civil Employee
Hold an Outside Job?
By H. ELIOT KAPLAN
They say you just can’t hold
outside jobs while you're boss is
Mr. Civil Service, But this isn’t
an inflexible rule at all. In fact,
it usually isn’t even a rule,
Except where expressly pro-
hibited by statute or department-
al rule, a public employee may
engage in business or hold a job
outside the civil service field just
a; long as this business or job
doesn’t conflict with his regular
civil service job.
For instance there are some
statutes affecting specific em-
ployment where any outside work
or business activity is, to put it
mildly, absolutely _ prohibited.
Policemen, firemen, court clerks
and attendants, and inspectors in
some departments such as the Li
cense Department, etc, are r
stricted by statute or depar
mental rule,
In each such case, one must be
certain to determine whether or
not his position falls within the
restrictions, If there’s no statu-
tory prohibition whatsoever, how-
ever, he must merely look to his
departmental rules, and, if his de-
partment says ‘'o.k,,’" why, it's
just plain o:k,
Of course, thése departmental
rules must be based on some sub-
stantial grounds relating to the
nature of the employment, They
must not for a minute allow them-
selves to be whimsical or so arbi-
trary as to be held by the courts
aa strictly capricious, and, there-
fore, illegal
The Safe Way
You might abide by the depart-
mental rules if there is the slight-
est doubt, That's the safe way.
Every once in a while a depart-
ment head or executive issues a
“decree” admonishing employees
in the civii service that they
must not engage in any work out-
side their State or city job, or
that they may not make more
monev in their own sweet way
and on their own sweet time after
office hours, or that they may not
do so if they earn more than
$1,200 or $2,000 annually, The
temperament or caprice of an ex-
ecutive or department head may
have more to do with decisions
of this sort than you'd think,
True, there often 1s some logical
reasoning behind such prohibi+
tions, Certainly no one can com-
plain if he 4s restricted from con-
ducting a business that would re-
flect upon his city job, or inter-
fere with his city functions, or
even conflict with them, Nor may
one defend a civil service em-
ployee who arrives at work so
tired from his outside endeavors
that he cannot do a good day's
work in his State or city job,
But, to repeat, where is there a
general law prohibiting all such
practices—at least as far as most
departments go?
What is debatable, of course, is
whether or not an executive may
arbitrarily prohibit employees
from working after office hours,
or earning extra money on their
own time, regardless of the cir
cumstances or relationship of the
outside work to his civil service
position.
In New York City
All of these facts apply to fed-
eval and to State employees, It is
my opinion that they should ap-
ply to New York City employees,
too; but they don’t, Here's why.
The Mayor has issued an edict
against holding down an outside
job~and that edict has been up-
held in one case that came to the
courts, This doesn’t mean you
must grow brain-fat in your spare
time if you work for New York
City. If does mean that you
should undertake no extra-money
task without getting the definite
OK of your department head.
School For Bosses
Federal administrators and su-
pervisors are going to school.
They are going to study the art
of human relations so they'll be

ees under them. Between 800 and

tors will be Federal officials, who

TRAINING
Course for Women
In War College
The War Department is plan-
ning to hire women college grad-
vates with degrees in physical
education, including courses in
human anatomy, physiology and
kinesiology. Women selected will
be trained at Government ex-
pense for a year, but they'll be
paid $1,440 during the training
period.
The first six months of the
course will be conducted at the
Army War College in Washington,
D. C. Upon succesful completion
of the course, the trainees will be
placed in Army hospitals for an
additional six months’ training
period,
On graduation from the second
training period, the girls will be
placed In Army hospitals, public
health service hospitals and Vet-
erans Administration institutions
throughout the country at salaries
of $1,800,
The first step to get one of these
jobs is to apply for the Civil Ser-
vice test for student physiother-

Leaving Jobs
Increasing numbers of experi-
need transportation workers are
leaving their jobs for better pay-
iny defense positions because of
the continuance of “pay stand-
uuds that aven’t keeping up with
ing cost of living,” Isidore
berg, representative of “the
Vransport Workers Union, re-
ported this week.
Claiming that the average in-
reuse of 8 cents an hour granted
transportation workers in some
clussifications doesn’t meet the
heeds of the department's opera-
tional staff, Mr. Blumberg called
upon the grievance board now
mulling over pay complaints to ef-
fect at least a 10 gents an hour
minimum boost because “to give
less would be offering virtually no
increase at all.””
He charged that the new 7 per
cent pension deduction binding all
employees, in addition to the
“stvingent’? double deduction af-
fecting employees who have had
to wait to be entered on the rolls
for their pension deductions, have
ly nullified whatever in-

Morton was anticipating a party
to be given in his honor the suc-
ceeding Tuesday, February 10,
celebrating his twentieth year as
a member of the civil ser
body.
Professorial Commi:
lace S. Sayre was ruminating
over a chapter of a new book he’s
writing.
And turbulent Paul Kern had no
immediate struggle with any of
his array of adversaries. He had
just lost a court battle with Cor-
poration Counsel William Chan-
ler, but had laid the groundwork
to continue that battle. It in-
volved four men remaining in the
City Register's Office. That of-
fice at the last municipal election
had been unified and placed under
the merit system. All other em-
ployees of the Register's Office
had been ousted, by edict of the
State Civil Service Commission;
but these four had been permitted
in, with the benediction of
i Service Reform Asnocia-
tion, and—as it later turned out—
of Mayor LaGuardia.
This wasn't very much more
than a routine battle to Paul
Kern, He issued a blast at the
Corporation Counsel for refusing
to defend the Commission's posi-
tion, That blast, couched in vio-
lent terms, pointed up again the
notably bad public relations of the
tall, aggressive Commissioner—
public relations which some of
Kern's close friends had in the
past warned him meant trouble,

The Deadline
Is Saturday
Saturday is the deadline. So
if you're going to file for one of
the 27 city examinations now
open, don’t wait. Applications for
conductor, telephone opera tor
(women), trackman, promotion to
_ clerk grade two and other city
tests must be filed at the Appli-
extion Bureau of the Municipal
Civil Service Commission, 96
Duane Street, by 4 p. m., Satur-
day, February 14.
There are no educational or ex-
perience requirements for con
ductor or trackman candidates,
Conductors must be five fect six
inches in height and have at least
20/30 vision in either eye, gla
permitted, The written and pl:
cal tests for conductor candidates
will carry equal weight. Conduc-
tors are appointed at $.65 per
hour and can be advanced to $.78
per hour.
Although there are no height re-
quirements for trackman, the
physical and medical standards
are more strict. ‘Trackmen must
have perfect vision, 20/20 each
eye, no glasses permitted. The
physical test for trackman carries
a weight of 60, the mental, 40.
Trackmen are paid from $.63 to
$.83 per hour.
The clerk, grade 2, test is open
to all city employees in the com-
petitive class who are earning up
to $1,799.99, and who have been
employed continuously for one
year by the date of the written
exam, Grade 2 clerks are paid

the department may not lose too

Mr, Blumberg reasoned that
“from 50 to 60 per cent of trans-
portation workers didn’t even get
10 cents an hour increases”’ in the
last pay adjustment. Many others,
he said, didn’t get any boost.
Conferences with Mayor LaGuar-

Blumberg indicated.

But for these three — Kern,

was a changed world. When they
arrived at 299, their officgs were
guarded by a squadron of men
with orders to inspect all papers
going to and from offices, who
would permit no official paper to
leave the building, who questioned
al! comers concerning their busi-
ness. This squadron was cn 24-
hour duty. It consisted of men
from the Office of Investigation.
‘And the headman of that office,
Commissioner William B. Her-

Conductor,
Trackman Tests
Not So Tough
“The physical examination for
conductor will not be so severe
as the physical tests for fireman
and sanitation man,” Paul M
Brennan, director of the C
Service Commission’s physical
and medical bureau, informed The
LEADER this week.
The number of competitors who
pass the written examination will
determine the severity of the
physical exam, Mr, Brennan in-
dicated. The test itself will be
patterned after recent physical
tests for fireman and sanitation
man in that it will probe strength,
endurance and agility, but the 1
quirements will be modified.
Where sanitation man and fire-
man candidates had to lift 80-
pound dumbells in each hand, con-
ductor candidates may only have
to lift 60 or 70-pound weights.
‘Test Comes April 25
The written examination for
conductor is scheduled for April
25. The physical requirements
will not be officially announced
until the written tests are held,
Heavy Men For Trackman
The physical examination for
trackman will be designed to test
the candidate's strength rather
than his ability, Mr, Brennan
pointed out that the job of t
man is essentially a heavy man’s
job. The trackman physical test
will carry a weight of 60, com-
pared to the mental of 40, Dates

Saturday is the deadline for con-

NEW BILLS
Ellis to Ask New
Civil Service Law
Wants Positions
Filled at Grades,
Salaries Stated
Emil K. Ellis, counsel to the
Council Committee Investigating
Civil Service, this week de-
nounced as “a form of deception”
the practice of advertising exams
to certain grades and salaries
when “few, if any, positions ac
tually exist at the grade and sal-
ary advertised.” He intends to
press for legislation in Albany
on behalf of the committee to
rectify this condition, he said.
Pointing out that this system
has been a source of much disap-+
pointment to many eligibles, Mr.
Ellis contended that exams aro
constantly being held for clerks,
stenograpners, typists, inspectors
and other positions along similar
lines without the existence of a
budget line.
Mr. Ellis, in a report submit-
ted to the committee, recommends
that ‘these abuses should be end-
ed by limiting examinations to
those instances in which budget
line exi: and actual or contem-
pla ist at the ad-
vertised grade and salary." Ex:
ams shouldn't be announced, he
specified,
unless departments re-
stances wherein an eligible is
forced to take a lower grade pos
tion at a lower salary after s
ing himself to have all the quali-
fications necessary for the job he
originally sought.
He insisted the committee's con-
tinued existence will depend
“upon whatever the committee
next decides to do, if anything."
He stated that he would ask a fee
for his services to the committee,

Supermen Claim
Superman Title
“We are the supermen!”
John Bendetti, president of the
Sanitation Eligibles Association,
this week laid formal claim to the
title for his 1,300 followers. The
outburst was occasioned by the
announcement last Tuesday of a
new organization, the New York
Supermen Association, Ine,
Head of the incorporated group
is Johnny Mandel, defeated for the
presidency of the sanitation eli-
gibles by Bendetti, ‘The new offi-
cers of the sanitation boys claim
that Mandel is only “confusing
everybody" by adopting the name
Supermen,’’ by which the Sanita-
tion Eligibles have been known
ever since their heroic perform-
ance at the stiffest physical test
given, up to that time, for any
New York City job,
“We intend to hold on to the
name Supermen,” said Bendetti
“Neither Mandel nor anyone else
n take it away from us, I'm
sorry that Johnny has taken this
path, He claims that his new out-
fit is a social and athletic club,
There is no social or athletic ac-
tivity which our boys can't have
if they ask for it, right within
the Sanitation Bligibles Associa-
tion itself.""
Want More Jobs
Main purpose of the organiza
tion remains, however, to get jobs
for its members, Bendetti is ask-
ing the Municipal Civil Service
Commission to certify the sanita-
tion list for all conductor and
trackman positions which may
arise before the new lists for
those positions ave ready, ''Nine
out of every ten of our members
are going to take those tests any-
way.
In addition, the organiza-
preparing a list of its qual-
ifications to present to federal
officials for possible use on U.
jobs.

The

request that civil service
continue payments to-
ward their pension fund, was at-
d this week by George Torre,
esident of the Association of

time, he called upon the
Legislature to take action
on the pay differential bill that
calls for the State to make up
the difference between the salary
paid them while at work and the

LONG WEEK
AFL Head Calls
6-DayWeek ‘Fiasco’
Floyd Stickles, representative
of the New York State Em-
ployees, Local 61,SA.F.L., this
week reminded “Butch” LaGuar-
dia that his six-day’ week idea is
now no less than a fiasco,
Said Mr, Stickles:
1, There isn’t enough work
during the extra half day, or full
day, as the case may be, for city
employees to keep busy. So, he
deduces, the extra time is mere-
ly being v asted.
2. The public isn’t inclined to
take advantage of the extra hours
saddled on the back of city work-
ers, either because they find no
reason to do so or just aren't in-
terested. Or perhaps they don't
believe in the six-day week
The long week must be fought
until it is cancelled, declared Mr,
Stickles, who pointed out that
municipal workers are persisting
in a post card campaign. ‘We're
deluging the Mayor with protests
right straight along.
Wants a Conference
Mr. Stickles said his group is
seeking another conference with
the Mayor to discuss the situation
further. Upon which he confided: |
“Looks like the meeting ought to
take place the latter part of this
week or the early part of next
Martin Cooper, president of the
Civil Service chapter of the Fed-
eration of Architects,
Chemists and Technicians,
pointed out that almost 5,000 pe-
titions, complaining about the six-
day week, have been sent to the]
Mayor.
Ewart Guinier, president of the
New York District, State, County
and Municipal Workers of Amer-
ica, stated that almost 2,000 signa-
tures have been obtained for the.
same purpose.
TRAINING
Art of Becoming
A Policewoman
“My friends turn up their noses
when they hear about anybody
wanting to become a_police-
woman. So I tell ’em I’m just
taking a physical culture course
said pretty Dorothy Brierton.
She's tallest of twelve selected
applicants admitted to the course
for prospective policewoman, at
City College, and she sat down}
for her first lesson this week.
Blue-eyed, honey-blond Dorothy,
just 18, and five feet, nine inc hes:
in height, was determined not to
admit her weighs. “Say I'm about
150,"" she smiled,
Dorothy is looking
becoming a policewoman because
she ‘thinks it’s the duty of
women today to help to make up
forward to
for the shortage of men.”
Miss Brierton can't become a
policewoman until she’s 21, but
she's raring to go right now
“Action is what I want," said
she. The two-year course, which
she started Thursday, will take
up most of this waiting period.
‘Then she can always continue her
college education (she gets @
certificate in public service for
the two-year curriculum — which
includes history, mathematics and
politics—and can go on with her |[
college work, or she can get
preferential credit smoothing her
path for a Civil Service ca
or be certified for appropriate
positions.)
‘A graduate of St, Xavier Acade:
my in Brooklyn, Miss Brierton,
who lives at 545 9th Street, that
borough, claims that if “anybod:
belongs in Civil Service, I do,
Miss Brierton’s uncle, Detective
Sylvester Brierton, retired, was

Wales and for ex-Supreme Court

Her dad, Lieut, Robert S. Brier-

In discussing his bill, Senator
Halpern stated that it is entirely
probable that the period im-
mediately following the present
war will be unsettled and there
may be very few, it any, certifi-
cations made through this short
period of one year,
“Tt seems only fair," he de-

average rating for the three
periods immediately preceding
such military service, The exist-
ing law provides that an employee
should receive an efficiency rat-
ing the same as he received for
the period immediately preceding
his military duty,
Explaining this part of His pro-
posal, Senator Halpern said, “It
is entirely possible that the period
of service prior to the employees’
being called to the colors would
have caused an unsettled condi-
tion in the mind and attitude of
the employee which might result
in a below normal efficiency rat-
ng; therefore, it seems only fair
that he receive a rating based on
an average of three, rather than
the one immediately preceding his
military service,

Questions and Answers
On Federalization
Continued from Preceding Issue
10, Will the State hold sched~
uled exams?
All examinations which are now
scheduled for the Di
Placement and Unemploy
surance will be held and resulting
lists will be used if they are es-
tablished before July 1, 1942.
11, What is the status of fed-
eralized employees who are on
promotion lists for unemployment
insurance positions?
The State Civil Service Com-
mission has not reached a deter
mination as to whether the feder-
alized employees, who are on
promotion lists for employment
insurance jobs, will be eligible for
promotion without prior reinstate
ment on the State payroll within
one year fvom the date the trans-
fer to the Federal payroll became
effective.
12, Will there be further oppor-
tunities for New Yorkers taking
Federal tests to get jobs in the
Employment Service setup
throughout the country?
Employees of the United States
Employment Service in New
York State will now have the op-
portunity to transfer to other
federalized employment services
in other states under the rules
and regulations of the United
States Civil Service Commission,
and the respective Federal de-
partments concerned,
With respect to original ap-
pointments from Federal list:
however, the usual State resid
restrictions would still be applied
18. If existing State lists awe |
used for future yacancies, will
they be certified according to jt
dicial districts or on a State-wide
basis?
So long as existing State list!
are used for Federal appoi
ments, such lists will be certified
and used in accordance with the

Official State Committee Acts to Contest
Discrimination in Defense Employment
Andrew C. Doyle, newly-ap-
pointed director of field activities
for the Committee on Discrimina~
tion in Employment of the State
Defense Council, made it known
this week that, while “appeal and
persuasion” will be used to elimi-
nate discriminatory practices,
“compulsion will be resorted to as
a last attempt” to wipe out unfair
hiring in the defense indastries.

RMS ARRANGED,
me,
Mr. Doyle, who has been direc-
tor of up-State activities of the
State Mediation Board, intends to
open offices in the near future at
80 Center Street, State Office
Building in New York City. He
plans to have a group of
five engaged in contacting de-
fense industry employers — and
possibly labor unions—directly “to
sell the idea that discriminatory
hiring is basically inconsistent
with the principles for which we
are fighting today.” The Defense
Council, acting on the findings of
the field staff, is expected to
bring pressure to bear on of-
fenders.
Just. in case anybody has an
idea of storming Mr, Doyle for a
job, the fact is the field service
staff will be borrowed from
among experienced “tindustrial
diplomats” now with State De-
partment of Labor and other
State departments. Mr. Doyle
himself is on a leave of absence to
serve in this setup.
Will Work on Tips
Mr. Doyle revealed that the
field staff will function on tips ob-
tained of discriminatory hiring
and placing in defense industries,
and also on individual detective
work by members of the staff. |
“I realize we'll run into difficul-
ties,"’ said Mr. Doyle, “but I really |
think the plans now on hand will
prove this is the method to pro-|
ceed along in order to correct
many existing abuses.”
Robert Washburn, executive
secretary of the Committee on
Discrimination in Employment,
pointed out that unfair hiring
still exists despite the increased
need for greater war production,
He attributed this to “age-old
practices that are hard to erase."
Miss Frieda S. Miller, Commis-
sioner of the State Labor Depart-
ment, and chairman of the Com-
mittee, appealed to defense em-
ployers to realize that no State or
federal law forbids the employ-
ment of aliens even in defense
and war industries, and called for
a breakdown in discriminatory
hiring that sets up prejudices
against Negroes, Jews and people
of Italian and German origin, as
well as other groups.
The Committee is sponsoring a
bill which would make it unlawful
for an employment agency to dis-
criminate because of race, creed,
color or national origin, against
any person seeking employment
by a public utility or in a defense
industry. It also seeks to open
the records of employment agen-
cies.
Defense employers, the Commit-
tee pointed out, have been able to
evade the provisions of the Ma-
honey Act through the gnonymity
afforded by hiring through pri-
vate employment agencies,
Authority for compelling em-
ployers in defense industries to
abide by the findings of the com-
mittee rests in the Mahoney Act,
an amendment to the Civil Kights
Act passed last year, making it a
misdemeanor to discriminate in
defense employment.

possible. The fastest possible
time is usually 48 hours.
‘The trouble is that applicants
for defense jobs must frequently
have their certificates in less time
than that. “Have your birth
certificate here by 4:30 tomorrow
afternoon—or we can't hold the
job open,” is a frequent demand
of personnel men. Perhaps they
mean it, perhaps they don't, but
the total effect is to create a
rush in the Health Department
which “simply cannot be met,’
according to Goodhue Livingston,
secretary of the department. “In
supplying a 48-hour service we're
doing a better job than nine-tenths
of the communities. Men and wo-
men who hope to get defense jobs
should guard against disappoint-
ment and get their certificates
in advance.”
Where to Get Them
Birth certificates are issued in
the various borough offices of
the Health Department. Your cer-
tifieate is in the borough of your
birth. Here are their addresses:
Bronx—1926 Arthur Avenue.
Brookiyn —295 Flatbush Avenue
Extention.
Queens — 148-15 Archer Avenue,
Jamaica.
Pero oe Stuyvesant Place,
Manhattan—125 Worth Street.
Of course, only if you were born
in New York City can you obtain
your birth certificate here. If you
were born in another State, and
hope to land a job in one of the
war production industries, get
your birth certificate in advance
by writing the Registar of Vital
Statistics in the State of your
birth. If you are a naturalized
citizen, have your citizenship

gets around to two subjects: (1) the six-day weel

No one can doubt the loyalty of New York's govern-

their willingness to give their time, their effort, and their
ash to help win the war. And they were doing it when
the 6-day-work-week order came ‘through. They just
don't see how the increased work-week helps the war

REED HARRIS can operate a
linotype machine, make up a news-
paper page, do the production work
on a book, write the book, or run
government agency. In fact,
Reed Harris has done all these
things. Which is pretty good for a
32-year-old lad. Except that this
combination of talents once got him
an invitation from his college dean
to kindly leave the premises, and
Reed consequently hasn't a degree
from Columbia. This little story
concerns Reed's activities as editur
of the Columbia “‘Spectator."’ Reed,
probably influenced by that great-
est of journalistic muckrakers, lsin-
coln Steffans, ran lively, hard-hit-
ting editorial campaigns in his p
per. For exampl he railed
against graft in the dining hall; h
ferreted out tales of subsidized
football men; he showed up the
phoniness of intelligence tests by
having professors take them (the
profs flunked); he “reviewed” the
stores around the college.
Such activities aren't designed to
meke on beloved of the alumni;
so, less than two months before
diploma time, Reed was on his way
out.
QUESTION
They asked him to come back,
but it was already too late to maké
up the lost time, so Reed just

Eligible List
Can’t Be Extended
A.G.: The attendant-messenger
eligible list expired on December
20, 1941. The Civil Service Com-
mission cannot extend an eligible
list beyond a period of four years,
except by direction of the State
Legislature, There is no way by
which you can be appointed to a
vacancy as attendant messenger
as a result of having been on that
list.
Name Off the List
D.1.: You may request the Civil
vice Commission to remove
your name from the eligible list
for maintainer’s helper, group #,
until such time as you are & iy}
to accept appointment as a main
tainer's helper from this list. The
removal of your name from the
list for an indefinite period of
time is discretionary with the
Civil Service Commission, Be-
cause of your employment as a
machinist in the Navy Yard, the
Commission most likely will grant
you this request. When you fi-
nally decide to accept an appoint-
ment as a maintainer’s helper in
the Board of Transportation the
Navy Department cannot refuse
to release you.
Mathematics
E.T.: In order to get 70 per-
cent on the particular section of
your promotion examination con-
taining 80 questions, you were re-
quired to answer 56 correctly.
Clerk Tests
M.H.; The examination for
clerk, grade 1, is a test conducted
by the Municipal Civil Service
Commission for employment in
New York City departments and
agencies, ‘The examination for
junior clerk was conducted by the
New York State Civil Service
Commission for employment in
New York State departments and
agencies. If you take the New
York City test and fail, your fil-
ing fee of $.50 will not be te-
turned. It is too soon to esti-
mate your chances for appoint-
ment as a result of your taking
either of these examinations,
If You Plan to Join
Merchant Marine
A. W.: The special military

Of course, your eligibility for

PROVERB PROBLEMS
Improving Your Reasoning
The tenth of a series of articles on proper
preparation for Civil Service examinations.
~~ By Gertrude B, Slavin, B,S., M.A, and Alvin Slavin, B.A., M.A.
Proverb problems in civil service examinations are another method
of testing a candidate's ability to think clearly, ‘These problems indi-
cate to civil service examiners the extent of your ability to cope with
new situations, and demonstrates your ability to follow directions, We
vecommend that you apply yourself to learning how to analyze
proverbs, discover their original connotation, and interpret them with
regard to specific situations,
A typical proverb question in a clyil service examination may read
thus
Example: One swallow does not make a summer.
(A) An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening,
(B) All things that are sharp are short.
(C) One tree does not make a forest,
(D) There is no summer but it has a winter,
(E) The longest night will have an end.
The candidate will find it easiest to answer such proverbs by
translating them into his own language—this is done mentally, For
example, one may interpret the above proverb to mean that one inci-
dent of good fortune does not insure success; or, that a few good books
do not make a brary, Particularly, this proverb means that a single
clement does not necessarily indicate an entire grouping or generaliza-
tion, ‘Therefore, of the alternatives enumerated above, (C) is naturally
the best answer.
In this type of question, the candidate is warned against selecting
4 choice which may have the identical subject matter as the proverb.
For example, in the proverb, ‘When Twe Ride on a Horse, One Must
Sit Behind,” oné of the choices given is, ‘Always in the Saddle But
Never On One's Way,'' Cleariy, while both the proverb and the choice
refer to riding, the thought of both are different in meaning, Proverb
questions always fist choices which have similar subject matter as the
proverb, The candidate must learn to discard such obvious traps,
In answering proverb questions, keep these general guides in
mind:
1, Read the proverb carefully, and interpret its meaning into your
own words.
2, Beware of alternatives which have a similar subject matter as
the proverb itself but differ in essential meaning,
3. Select the alternative which best interprets the meaning of the
given,

the recent State examinations for Clerk, ‘Typist, and Stenographer.

smart to be friendly.
Department are trying to heal
the
rgest line organizations in tia
breach between two of the
force,” the Patrolmen’s Benevo-
lent Association, headed by tall,
likeable, Patrick W. Harnedy, and
the Detective’s Endowment A:
sociation, led by popular, friendly,
politically shrewd Denis Mahoney.
Here's the Background
Why should two such amiable
men be inyolved in a squabble? It
all goes back to Monday, Janu-
ary 16, when the police Pension
Fund, of which both are mem-
bers, met in full for the first
time. At that meeting Mayor La-
Guardia introduced a resolution
which deferred for one month the
pension applications of 111 police-
men under 55 years of age who
wanted to retire. The resolution
was seconded by Mahoney, op-
posed by Harnedy. The voting on
the resolution was close, 7 to 5.
Lieutenant Nicholas P. Sussillo,
president of the Lieutenant's
Benevolent Association and Ser-
geant Ross P, Monroe, head of the
Sergeants’ Benevolent Association,
sided with Harnedy, Captain Mat-
thew Skea, president of the Cap-
tains, Surgeons and Inspectors A:
sociation sided with Mahone;
thus going along with Valentine
and the Mayor.
Friends of Harnedy insist that
he is protecting the rights of all
the patrolmen on the force
What would nt the Mayor,
rring the pen-
sions of all applicants under 65
the next time?
Friends of Mahoney think it ws
good political strategy for him to
vote with the Mayor. They point
out that the lution did not de-
ny the 111 patrolmen their pen-
sions. It merely deferred decision
on their applications for one
month, LaGuardia, they state, will
be the Mayor for the next four
years. By giving him one month
how, much might be obtained in
return in the near future.
Bill Is Prepared
Meanwhile, preparations are be-
ing made to pass bill through
the State Legislature granting sal-
ary increases to policemen. It is
certain, observers point out, that
the bill will not go through un-
ernor’s office know the Mayor
would approve it, It is equally

PROMOTION
Propose to Enlarge
Opportunities
A public hearing will be held at
8 p.m. Thursday, February 12,
Lincoln's Birthday, in the offices
of the Civil Service Commission,
299 Broadway, on a proposed
amendment to the civil service
rules to widen the promotion op-
portunities for city employees.
The change proposed by the Com-
mission would make employees
who have served only six months
eligible to take promotion tests.
‘The amendment would affect em-
ployees in the following services:
clerical, ferry, inspection, legal,
prison, attendance, and medical.
The amendment, if adopted by
the Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission, okayed by the Mayor,
and then adopted by the State
Civil Service Commission, would
revolutionize the chances for ad-
vancement for almost 26,000 city
employees.
Clerical Force Affected
Most affected by the proposed
amendment would be the 15,000 or
more clerical employees. Employ-
ees in the second grade of this
service must work at least two
years in the title in order to be
‘or a grade 3 promotion
ade 8 clerks must have
served three years before they
can take a promotion to grade 4
‘As these tests are held in-
uently, the majority of the
city’s white collar employees have
only a limited opportunity for ad-
vancement,
Under the proposed change, the
Civil Service Commission would
retain the right to fix longer pe-
riods of. service for promotion if
such longer periods would best
serve the public interest.
The proposed amendment to
Rule V, Section X of the Civil
Service Commission's rules, re-
placing paragraphs 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
U1, and 12, reads as follows:
“Wligibility for promotion shall
be limited to permanent employ-
ees who have served in the eligi
ble title or titles for not less than
six consecutive months immedi
ately preceding the examination
in the department, office, or insti-
tution for which the examination
is held, provided that nothing
herein contained shall prevent the
Commission from fixing longer
periods of service for promotion,
when such longer periods may
best serve the public inter

had come a long way toward
gaining statutory protection for

Justice Denis O'Leary Cobal-
an's decision that probationary
patrolmen are entitled to payment
at the rate of $2,000 per year not
only has brought broad smiles to
18 new patrolmen who had much
at stake in the decision but to
every uniformed member of the
department, according to the gen-
eral fecling among police through-
out the city.
Tt was regarded that the de-
ision is a victor too, for the
300 patrolmen appointed June 5,
1940, as well as for the 400 patrol-
men appointed since June 5, 1940.
When the latter group's action for
a $400 pay differential is begun, a
stipulation may be entered into to
waive the trial of their issues and
make their case depend on the
outcome of the city’s appeal—that
seems almost certain to be made

Deputy Sheriff
Appointments Soon
| Appointments to deputy sheriff
will be made in the very near fu-
ture, possibly in the early part of
next week. As The LEADER
went to press, Sheriff John: J.
McCloskey, Jr, had interviewed,
over 100 of the eligibles certified
to him by the Civil Service Com-
mission from three lists, sheriff,
city marshal and p, d. (special)
numiber 3.
It is expected that approximate
ly 55 deputies will be appointed at
basic salaries of $1,800 per year.
Although the position of deputy
sheriff is now in the ungraded
service, Sheriff McCloskey will
move to have official steps taken
to place this title in the graded
service, If this is done, deputy
sheriffs will receive annual incre
ments of $120 per year for five
years, until they are paid the
maximum of $2,399.99 a year.
‘The duties of a deputy sheriff
are the same as those of the
sheriff, i.e., “to serve and exe
cute process.’
