War Dept. Cuts
Threaten Jobs
Of Employees
WASHINGTON. — The budget
estimate sent to Congress by the
President calls for a consider-
able drop in the number of ci-
vilian employees in the War De-
partment in Washington. But
it doesn’t make any reference
to field employees, and it's a
certainty that a number of bu-
Yeaus will meet the required
change by shifting groups of
employees from central office to
the branches. So , War De-
partment employees in the New
York area have no need to
worry.
The Army has about 60,000
employees in the capital, and
about 1,500,000 in the field

JOB CLASSIFICATION i 5
nothing more than grouping
jobs into groups (closs of posi-

One title, such as

The Jargon
Congress has established two
primary divisions for jobs com-
ing under Civil Service laws and
rules.
‘The “services” are broad cate-
gories of related occupational
fields. Four services of general
application have been estab-
lished: The Professional and
Scientific Service (P), the Sub-
Professional Service (SP), the
Clerical, Administrative and Pis-
cal Service (CAF), and -the
Crafts, Protective and Custodial

Will John Q. Public Help
The Poor Postal Clerk?
One of the pleasures in the
life of the postal clerk in New
York City is the annual exami-
nation he has to take to make
sure that he knows just where to
put every piece of mail that
's through his hands so that
gets to its proper destination

In the Manhattan- Bronx -

ay, the fact that mail for one
ide of a street goes here and
sor the other side there, and
such kindred items. And on
this annual test, he only has
to score a passing mark of not
Tess than 95 percent, And he
has to pass out items at the
rate of 16 each minute.
The Theory
Now euch piece of mail should
bear its district number if it’s
addressed to one of the 178
largest cities in the country.
+
‘Then in theory, all the clerk has
to do is glance at the number
and know just where to put the
piece of mail. The system is
designed to give John Q. Public
@ chance to help out the poor
clerk,
But judging from the past
record of the public in such
things as addressing mail and
looking up phone numbers in-
stead of calling “Information,”
it may not be as simple as all
that.
In Educational Stage
The thing is still in its edu-
cational stage and officially,
Postmaster Albert Goldman is
thanking the public for their
fine. cooperation, but many
people haven't yet seen a piece
of mail with the unit number
on it.
And the clerks will probably
still have to know where to put
things that come in with the
wrong number and with no
number,
So, from all indications, the
and you'll understand your job better than you have.
Professional jobs filling an ad-
ministrative function can be
found in the CAF service.
“Grades” are subdivisions of
the services. They divide jobs
into levels of difficulty and re-
sponsibility. The lowest (first)
grade in each service contains
the simplest, the most routine
and the least responsible classes
of positions in that service. The
highest grade contains the most
responsible and most exacting
classes of positions.
Each grade is defined in the
statutes, usually in general
terms indicating its relative dif-
ficulty and importance. Each
grade carries a prescribed sal-
ary range which can be changed
only by Congressional action.
Tried and Tested
Job classification is not a
newfangled idea. Systems of
one type or another have ex-
isted since ancient times. The
Hindu caste system is an ex-
ample of a rigid type of heredi-
tary position classification. Be-
fore the Renaissance the medie-
val guilds had apprentice, jour-
neyman, and master craftsman
classes for each of the trades.
Even Ungraded Jobs
For positions covered by clas-
sification statutes, job classifi-
cation is a legal requirement.
But even for jobs not subject to
statute—“ungraded positions’ —
job classification is a necessity.
Ungraded jobs—mostly in the
trades as skilled and unskilled
labor—must be evaluated for
salary administration and quali-
fication requirements.
How It Works
When an Aaministrative offi-
1 is given an assignment he
is confronted with three ques-
tions. How am I going to do
it? Who is going to help me?
How much is it going to cost?
HOW? First he calls on a
management man in the organ-
ization. He plots out, or “plans,”
organization and personnel set-
up. Then he calls for a classi-
fication man. "(We call him a
Classification Analyst.) He
writes the detailed job descrip-
tions.
The job sheet describes as
much as can be initially known
about each job in terms of su-
pervision, duties and responsi-
bilities. From these descrip-
tions the classification man
makes a job analysis to deter-

How toGetAlongWithPeople
And Work for Government
WASHINGTON—Rep. Robert
Ramspeck (D., Ga}, chairman
of House Civil Service Commit-
tee, appeared before the So-
ciety for the Advancement of
Management here last week to
suggest eight rules for “greater
efficiency in Government.”
Here they are:
1. No person should be em-
ployed, no matter what his
qualifications, whose appoint-
ment is unsatisfactory to a ma-
jority of the people.
2, No person should be em-
ployed to write regulations, no
matter how well qualified, edu-
cated or mentally well-equipped,

unless he has had practical
experience in dealing with the
public.
3. No person should be em-
ployed to contact the public un-
less he has the ability to get
along with the public.
4. Not a single employee
should be retained on the pay-
roll who is not needed.
5. Not a single person should
be retained unless he is com-
petent for the job he occupies.
6. No person should be placed
in a position where he can do
favors for those by whom he
was sformerly employed.
7. No employee should be re-
tained who fails to do a full
day’s work eyery day.
8. Care, should be exercised
that no favoritism is shown in

WASHINGTON — Here is a
job opportunity for women law-
yers who have husbands (or
perhaps fathers) in the armed
services;
Board of Legal Examiners has
decided to open its forthcoming
June 12 Federal attorney exam
to wives and dependents of
service men, Also, for them,
it has decided to extend the
filing “date beyond the May 31
deadline provided for other can-
didates.
The exam covers four posi-
tions ranging from $1,800 for
recent law school graduates

of experience. All jobs provide

UBJECT EXPLAINED FOR FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
mine the “class” in which each
job belongs.
The Civil Service Commission
is informed of the “class” of
jobs that must be filled. That's
all. By referring to its qualifi-
cation requirements for that
class, the Civil Service Commis-
sion knows the kind of man or
woman needed to satisfactorily
perform the job.
Determining the appropriate
class for a job automatically
determines the salary.
The Administrator's Part
The administrator furnishes
the classification man ‘with full
information necessary to write
an adequate job sheet.
If a job is being reclassified
to determine whether it is worth
more salary the administrator
should not have the classifica-
tion man question the employee
unless the job involves detailed
procedures. Bad morale may re-
sult from a negative decision on
the reclassification.

McKellar Anti-MeritSystem
Bill Gets Kick in the Pants
The McKellar Bill in the Sen-
ate which would subject thous-
ands of Federal employees to
Senatorial OK in order to hold
their jobs, has many government
workers squirming in their seats.
Opinion among informed quar-
ters around Washington is that
the bill may pass the Senate,
but it will be squashed in the
House, or vetoéd by the Presi-
dent, But last week the bill got
a body-blow from a formidable
opponent. He's Senator Hatch
of New Mexico (the same man
who designed the Hatch Act
limiting political activity of goy-
ernment employees) and now
he’s come out punching against
the bill in its present form. A
member of the Judiciary Com-
mittee which is considering the
bill, he issued a supplementary
minority report last. week point-
ing out reasons why passage of
the bill would violate the letter
and spirit of the merit system.
McKellar’s Points
Here are some of the points
brought out in the Hatch re-
port:
1 —Extension of the powers of
the Senate to control. the ap-
Pointments of thousands of em-
ployees who are not major offi-
cials and have no policy-making
functions is an invasion of the
powers conferred on the execu-
tive branch of the Government
by the Constitution.
2-The language of the bill
does not clarify the number
of employees who will be affect-
ed, or say which officials or em-
Ployees come under its pro-
visions,
3—The bill was not considered
by the Civil Service Commit-
tee of the Senate, although it
affects many civil service em-
ployees.
—In a great majority of in-
stances, under the proposed
changes “partisan political en-
dorsements must be had.”
With the final recommenda-
tion that the bill be referred to
the Senate Civil Service Com-
mission for full hearings, the
Hatch report said “Confusion
and chaos” would result from
Passage of the McKellar Bill,
and “a step backward taken
which will require years of ef
fort to regain."
Other Arguments
The measure is so drawn that
it might be stretched to include
almost anybody in the Federal
service (see LEADER of May
18). It has been attacked by
almost every employee organii\-
tion as a “pork-barrel” measure;
by the Civil Service Reform As-
sociation, and by the President
of the United States, Until
Senator Hatch presented his
arguments, others had been
brought forth against the bill
on the grounds that it jeopar-
dizes the whole merit system bY

New Listing of Spare-Time Jobs Include
Many for Men and Women, in War Plants
Reports from other cities show that the spare-time worker
has been found the answer to problem of keeping industry moving
with reduced personnel.
Here in New York, some departments still try to keep their
employees from taking outside work in their spare time, though
legally they have that right.
The majority of City agencies have
recognized the right of employees to work outside on their own time.
The LEADER has been in
touch with some cities where
the local administration has
been working hand in hand with
war industry to smooth the way
of the public worker into a

Vacation as Usual’
ForCity Employees
By FRANCIS KELLY
The Boss told me to go out
and ask the City employees
what they're going to do about
their vacations. You see, he
happened to notice that the
Office of Defense Transpor-
tation has just cut down the
mileage allowed buses. And
somebody told him the OPA has
sleuths out to stop auto pleas:
ure travellers. even
larger crowds the :
Right now, almo: S many peo-
ple are riding on their suitcases
as are able -to get seats
"Go out,” said the Boss, “and
find out what the boys and girls
are going to do about their va-
cations, See if they're fright-
ened by all this, and plan to
spend their time-off in Coney
Island.”
No Coney Island
That means
on
So I prowled around and dis-
covered that no, they're not
frightened by restrictions, and
they plan to leave Coney strictly
alone. They take the new Goy-
ernment regulations in their
stride just as if it were an-
other announcement that ex-
pected promotions aren't coming
through
Talk around the City offices
is of trips to Boston and Wash-
ington t visit friends. And
people who have been visiting
same places each summer
for years are planning to make
the same jaunt this summer.
Farms Aren't Pulling ‘Em
The Government is encourag-
ing a camprign to get City peo-
ple to spend their vacations
working on farms to make sure
that there will be enough food
to £0 around, but so far as this
inquiring reporter has found,
New York's workers aren't flock-
ing out to the farmlands to
gather the vegetables.
Another plea the Government
has made was to start vacations
in the middle of the week to
avoid the hectic week-end rush
out of the city. But no City de-
partments seem to have made
this change, and the employees
will either have to waste a few
days of their leisure time to
avoid the subway-like rail rush
or start their vacation in an
atmosphere like Times Square
Station on the IRT at 5:15.
So I'm suggesting to the Boss
that he suggest to the depart-
ment heads that they suggest
mid-week vacation starts.
The most disappointed em-
ployees around are those who
just rolled their cars to the
gasoline station to get the few
gallons allowed on an “A" card,
hoping to drive out to their va-
cation spot in style. The newest
ban on pleasure driving puts the
skids under that idea.
The Lucky Ones
It may be the reaction from a
City job, but lots of municipal
workers have invested in a little
place out on Long Island or
nearby in Westchester, Connecti-
cut or New Jersey, Those peo-
ple are the lucky ones. They
can take their ration cards
along and putter around in
their Victory Gardens, and they
needn't worry about making
reservations or having to share
a room with a bunch of other
people—unless relatives drop in,
Some employees I talked to
took an attitude of “wait and
see,’ They think the Govern-
ment will modify its rigid bans.
But the general attitude, as I
size it up, is vacations as usual
this year.
Correction Exam
Still Being Rated
The written examination for
Correction Officer (Men), which
was given on May 8 to 2,526 can-
didates, is still being rated by the
City Civil Service Commission,
which hopes to finish marking
the papers sometime this week.
No date has been set for the
physical examination for the
$2.040 a year jobs with the Sher-
iff’s offices and in the City's
penal institutions.

EXCLUSIVE
The City’s Department of Investigation has had its men in the
Welfare Department.
Rumors that they were there for any “fishing
expedition” are completely erroneous, The LEADER has learned
On the contrary, they are there at the specific request of Commis-
sioner Arnstein.
Here's the story:
In January, 1942, the home re-
lief case load was 121,941. On
May 1, 1943, the home relief case
load was 64,000 or a net decrease
of 57,941 cases. The total clos-
ings during this period were
104,110. The great majority of
these cases were closed to private
or public employment,
In addition, the Department
has 6,000 persons on work relief
pending placement in private or
public employment. Also, of the
residual case load now carried by
the Department of Welfare, 4,610
are receiving assistance to sup-
plement inadequate income from
private employment.
Employment Is No. 1 Priority
The Department of Welfare
has established employment as
the number one priority for its
case staff, and with this object
in mind, an employment program
along the following lines has been
operating for some time:
—Occupationai Interview and
registration of all employable
relief recipients.
2—The development of a staff
training program directly re-
lated to the employment of relief
recipients.
—The establishment of a co-
operative relationship with
the United States Empioyment
Service for registration and
Placement of employable relief
recipients in private employment.
The direct solicitation by the
Department, of private in-
dustry, job opportunities and the
referral of relief recipients to
private employment for place-
ment,

Test Open June7
The promotional examinations
to clerk, grade 3, and clerk,
grade 4, in all city deparments,
will open on June 7 and con-
tinue until June 14, according to
an announcement of the Civil
Service Commission,
The examination will be open
to city employees who have
served for two years in their
present positions. The Commis-
sion has not yet released the list
of employees who will be eligible
to take these promotional exam-
inations, but it is expected to be
opened to a very large group of
titles,
The examinations will be held
in November. The present
schedule, subject to change, is:
Clerk, grade 3, examination No-
vember 13; grade 4, November 6.
proximately 5,000 persons are
presently employed on this spe-
cial labor force. Since the pro-
gram began in July, 1942, about
21,000 have thus been employed.
The very large number that ob-
tained regular employment were
unquestionably helped by this
previous work experience, accord-
ing to Welfare officials.

vestigation Department, who has
been asked by Leo Arnstein,
Commissioner of Welfare (left)
to look into the caseloads of the
Welfare Department.
of Investigation, making a care-
ful analysis of the residual case
load. To this end, Commissioner
Herlands’ staff has embarked on
a research project, on a sampling
basis, to determine whether there
are any other avenues which
could be pursued by the Depart-
ment of Welfare in finding em- .
ployment for persons not on the
home relief rolls, and to attempt
to isolate reasons why persons on
home relief are not placeable in
the present labor market. With
these findings, together with the
program already in operation
and the factual data emanating
from it, Commissioner Arnstein
says he will be in a position to
recommend additional measures
to the Mayor as to how the City
may best utilize the manpower
on the home relief rolls and take
such steps as may be necessary,
to rehabilitate and restore to
self - maintenance, persons now
unemployed due to physical fac-
tors beyond their control or not
amenable to correction with the
existing facilities at the disposi-
tion of the Welfare Department

97 Promotions,
100 Appointments,
In Fire Dept.
The Fire Department has re-
ceived certifications from the
Civil Service Commission to al-
low it to make 97 promotions
and 100 appointments of new
firemen.
The promotions will add the
following new officers to the de-
partment's roster: 5 deputy
chiefs, 7 battalion chiefs, 25 cap-
tains, 50 lieutenants, 3 pilots
and 7 marine engineers, One
fire telegraph dispatcher was
certified for reinstatement from
a preferred list for that posi-
tion
Still, Understaffed
When these new appointments
are made, the department will
be slightly understaffed so far as
the higher officers are concerned,
but the total of uniformed fire-
men will still be almost 400 be-
low the figure called for in the
department quota
However, should the appoint-
ment of temporary firemen ma-
terialize to fill vacancies due to
military leave, the firemen will
be a practically their full
strength to meet any war emer-
gency.

Department of Placement and
Unemployment employees are
still wondering where the axe
will fall about July 1, when the
layoffs come due. (See page 3,
last week's issue.)
Indications in the office, ac-
cording to one official, are
that vacation money will be paid
td all those laid off, and that
the great majority of lower paid
employees will be absorbed into
other bureaus.
The State, County and Muni-
cipal Workers of America, C. I.
©., which has been in confer-
ence with officials of the D. P. U.
I., is still waiting to see just how
great the drop will be in the
case load carried by the office,
and the number of employees
who will be @rafted into the
armed forces.
The Albany D. P. U. I. head-
quarters hasn’t yet come down
with any edict as to the manner
in which the layoffs will be
naged, but it is believed that
the up-State office is now ar-
ranging seniority lists to deter-
mine who goes fi

Merit Men |
BY NOW he's an expert on
all the different kinds of finan-
cial troubles that people can get
into.
One of the group which origin-
ally founded the Municipal
Credit Union back in 1916, Louis
Pittarelli is chairman of the
credit committee and sits at the
head of the large table in the
conference room when they hold
hearings on applications for
loans.
He finds that public employees
who get into financial diffi-
culties have often “borrowed
from Peter to pay Paul.” The
most frequent request for a loan
comes from the man who has
taken out a loan with a private
finance company to clear up a
bunch of small debts.
One After Another
Then he finds that he can’t
manage to meet the payments,
so he goes somewhere else and
takes another loan to pay the
first loan off. Then he has to
go to a third place to see if he
can straighten up loan number
2, and he finally ends up in the
office of the credit union with
a plea to help him get re-
organized.
The Credit Union was origin-
ally founded by a group of 17
city employees who thought
there should be a way for a pub-
lic worker to get some funds
to tide him over an emergency
without having to pay large in-
terest rates. Today the Credit
Union is willing to make loans
up to 15 per cent of a man's
salary and the interest rate is
3 per cent a year, against the
commercial rate for small loans
of about 3 per cent a month.
12,000 Loans #
The growth of the organiza-
tion is shown by the fact that
last year over 12,000 loans were
made, amounting to $6,046,000,
and the Union is owned by
and State employees residing ¢,

shares in the Union.
“The average public employe
who needs financial help,” Says
Mr. Pittarelli, “is basically 4,
honest man who finds that
things have’ gotten out of con.
trol through no fault of }\,
own.”
“There is generally a jon,
story of illness, doctor and hos.
pital bills piling up,” he addeq
“and we can usually help 14
straighten him out.”
But on the other hand, he hay
been in the business long
enough to spot the man who
thinks that he has figured oy,

usual requests for loans. Therp
are often cases of young men
who want to buy.an engagement
ring and need the money. 0p
the other hand, there have been
instances where a man has come
in and begged to be advanced
enough cash to get a divorse
from his wife. One time a man
eame in with his lawycr and
showed that if he could raise
$1,500, he would be able to
settle with his divorced wife and
escape alimony payments which
were keeping him continually
behind the eight-ball. P. S. He
got the loan.
He’s in Law Department
‘The business of keeping an
eagle eye on the money which
flows out of the Credit Union is
only one part of Mr. Pittarelli’s
affairs.
He is employed in the City’s ’
Law Department, and it seems
that he can’t get away from the
business of borrowing and pay-
ing—or not paying. He's a Sth
grade clerk, and is in charge of
the garnishee department which
arranges that legal claims
against city employees are paid
out of their pay-checks.
Thirty-nine years is the length
of time he has put in the city
service, He started way back
when, as an office boy for $25 0
month, and began climbing up
the ladder During the last war,
he was one of the first to take
an ocean voyage as a guest of
Uncle Sam, and came back in
1919.
He doesn’t look his 55 years,
doesn't mind a glass of beer o-
cassionally, smokes cigars, AND
lives out in Brooklyn, but has
the nerve to be a Yankee fan—
somehow this year he isn't too
crazy about the looks of that
team.

Suggests Overtime
For City Employees
Sirs: The employees of New
York City are putting in a
heavier schedule of work than
ever before. The reason for this
is that men who have gone off
to the armed forces aren't being
replaced. This means that the
work—which remains the same
—has to be done by those who
remain.
Now my suggestion is that we
be allowed to put in overtime.
This system is now used by the
Federal Government, with very
satisfactory results all around.
I would be quite wililng to put
in 48 hours a week, I truly feel
my work would be improved be-
cause I wouldn't have to sush
so in completing the job. Also,
the work would be better done.
Of’ course, the overtime should
be paid for by the city at reg-
ular overtime rates.

we yeceived a letter from Jim-

It clears up the
af the apprehensions of those
en who came into the depart-
mrt at the $1,200 salary.

fied claims for the recovery of

by them during their probation-
a period and that which they
vntend should have been paid to

Code, may I point out that:
first: Suit has been institut-
si (or each and every policeman
‘no has filed an authorization
with me.
secondly: Upon a favorable
wicome of the Adrian case,
foch claimants will be paid.
Thirdly: There has been no
eyungling” of either the
schneider or Adrian cases on
the part of these policemen or
(oeir lawyer.
In view of the fact that the
litigation is still pending, it
yould be improper for me to
discuss the Adrian case and its
pation to the Schneider case.
Wy only desire now is to correct
ie erroneous statements ap-
paring in the article “Who
Bungled It?” on page 12 of your
jsue of the 25th instant, and I
am suré you would not inten-
tionally mislead the patrolmen
affected.
JAMES H. TULLY.
We called Mr, Tully and asked
him this direct question: “If
the patrolmen win the Adrian
case, will all the men who. came
in at the $1,200 rate get the
400?
“Yes,” said Mr, Tully.
That sounds satisfactory all
around.
The patrolmen won their case
in the Appellate Division, with
the court ruling unanimously
that they should get the $400.
Now the matter goes to the
Court of Appeals, the State's
highest court, for final determi-
nation, That will be on June 14.
If the court should uphold the
previous decisions, all the men
who came in at $1,200 will be
‘titled to receive the differen-
tial in pay.
And that's good news!

See
that, by law, by moral sanction,

We don’t know what fear of
God the Commissioner threw in-
to the breasts of the Promotion
League sponsors. We assume it
might have been Rule 202, which
says that you can't collect or
contribute money “in connec-
tion with any matter affecting
the department” unless the com-
missioner gives his O.K. By us-
ing this rule—which, like many
others that the policemen work
under, is of doubtful legality—

pens not to like. In other words,
gentlemen of the P.D., the cards
are stacked. Where the organ-
ization lays out for itself a pro-
gram that is insipid, uninspired
and prosaic, the P.C. will prob-
ably not concern himself about
it. No one remembers that any
Promotion eligibles organization
was ever subjected to pres-
sure—official or sub rosa—on
the part of the Commissioner.
But when the proposed organiza-
tion presents a program that is
alive and forthright, a program
which might hurt some of the
“in-rights” even though it might
be beneficial to the bulk of the
men—why, that’s different.
Freedom of Action
In taking up the cudgels for
the Police Promotion League,
this column isn’t endorsing its
Platform. That's for the men in
the department. What we are
concerned about is that police-
men should have freedom of ac-
tion where such freedom of ac-
tion is their right as American
citizens,
We frequently hear from po-
licemen that the job, in many
respects, is improving all the
time. If this is true, we attrib-
ute it among other things to the
fact that superior officers, by
treating policemen as ‘men and
not as automatons, have helped
provide an atmosphere in which
free men can breathe.
‘The killing of the Police Pro-
motion League is the type of
thing that restricts, binds, -and
oppresses men of good will in
their efforts to act for them-
selves in a responsible, open and
above-board manner.
To Commissioner Valentine:
‘You are a man of integrity. Un-
der you, the Police Department
has achieved many good things.
The men under you have not,
however, achieved a sense of
freedom and democracy, You
know—and we credit you with
far more understanding of hu-
man beings than you are usual-
ly credited with—that the gen-
eral atmosphere in your depart-
ment is not healthy. It is an
atmosphere of fear and sus-
picion, You ‘know that - one
thing you have failed to achieve
is high morale among the men.
Your action in this case shows
one reason why, We think your
relations with the men can be
changed for the better. Why
not start now?
Pian for Promotion
Organization
One officer came in this week
with a substitute plan for the
Police Promotion League. Here
are his thoughts:
“The PBA should undertake
the organization of just the type
of organization that the Police ||
Promotion League was intended
to represent. Since the PBA in-
cludes within its membership al-
most every member of the uni-
formed force, irrespective of
rank, a concern over promotions
in kil ranks comes properly
within its realm.
“The PBA should invite each
of the line organizations to se-
lect three of its members to
serve on a Promotion Commit-
tee. A fair method of selection
of these members can be worked
out without much difficulty,
with the provision that where a
promotion list is established
these members must be eligibles
from that list.
Semi-Autonomous
“The Promotion Committee
should be a semi-autonomous
organization so as to enjoy the
greatest latitude in its action.,|
The expenses of the Committee,
which should be very small,
could be apportioned in some
equitable manner among the
line organizations.
“The Promotion Committee
would have as its function the
drafting of an intelligent pro-
gram and a plan of action. All
promotion eligibles could easily
be recruited to take an active
part once such a program and
such a plan had been estab-
lished.
“If the PBA takes some
prompt action towards these
ends it will do much to over-
come the adverse effects that
the scuttling of the Police Pro-
motion League has had upon
the morale of policemen. Mor-
al courage is as much an attri-
bute of a good policeman as
physical courage and the main-
tenance of both these qualities
among poliremen should be en-
couraged.”
PBA Election News
On June 8, that’s next Tues-
day, the PBA election returns
come in. If we were asked how
it looks now, we'd say it looks
like a Pat Harnedy vic-
tory. Joe Burkhard has been
working hard, but Pat has the
inside track to the majority of
delegates. Maybe Joe will pull
off a stunt between now and
next Tuesday which will swing
the election his way, but as of
now it looks like another Har-
nedy year.
The big news of the week is
neither Harnedy's nor Burk-
ard’s campaigning, though
they've been holding their little
get-togethers and told the dele-
gates their stories. The srhack
news has been made.by the two
lesser contenders for the PBA
presidency, Aplhonse Smiles
and Raymond Donovan.
Al Smiles came up this week
with as biting a piece of politi-
cal literature as we've seen, He
charges the Harnedy regime
with 8 failures:
1. Failure to obtain wage in-
crease.
2. Failure to obtain compen-
satory time-off for election duty.
3. Failure properly to attack
the temporary patrolman bill.
4. Failure to present the
names of persons suitable to
handle PBA public relations.
5, Failure to get police legis-
lation enacted in the City Coun-
cil—and this an election year,
too.
6. Failure to solidify the or-
ganization by bringing the
younger and‘ the older men to-
gether.
8, If Harnedy were fair to the
members and to the delegates,
whose support he seeks, he would
have a referendum immediately
of the entire membership to
determine whether the men want
to vote for the presidency.
With this, Smiles definitely
By ARTHUR LIEBERS
Listening to conversations
around the building make
feel that it isn’t all the super-
visor’s fault that everybody isn’t
as happy as he or she might be.
Even a lot of the little “chiefs”
let the petty authority go to
their-heads. Detail clerks and
reviewers have their pets around
the office and have been known
to mess up counts for the benefit
of their friends. Then there are
little cliques around the office.
| The Washington crowd sticks to-
gether, and the local kids stick’
together. All this adds up to the
fact that things would be a lot
different if everybody played
square with everyone else.
The Ratings
What brings this to the fore
is what happened to some rat-
ings, according to one of our in-
formants who hasn't been wrong
yet.
Chiefs of section who work
closely with their people are the
ones who should be able to tell
what ratings they deserve. They
give out ratings, and this time, it
is interesting to note that about
twenty people who had been rat-
ed as “very good” were reduced
to “good” on the Second Floor.
And we hear also, that one pret-
ty gal had herself promoted from
“good” to “excellent.” There's
liable td be some excitement
about all this, as letters have
been sent out demanding an in-
vestigation of How Come?
A Pipe Dream
One little girl in Vets sent us
this message which she says she
typed out under the benign eyes
of her Chief, who was happy that
she was fulfilling an old ambi-
tion to see her thoughts in print.
She tells how the Chief urges
her not to work too hard, and
how it is O.K. to saunter into the
office anytime between 8:15 a.m.
and 12:45. She complains that
the quota is so low that the girls
are miserable because they can’t
really get started to work. AS
soon as they begin to get warmed
up, the day's work is over She
is happy because no.one watches
to see that she doesn’t close her
typewriter a second before the
bell rings. Her only worry is
that she may lose her figure be-
cause she and her friends are al-
ways walking around the build-
ing eating candy.
But for some strange reason,
she signs her letter “Wishful
Thinker” . . . I wonder why?
Violent Vets
The boys’ softball team is hav-
ing trouble. The other teams hear
about them and don't show up,
so now they're starting an inter-
mural league in the building.
Policy Issue and Coding have or-
ganized teams and are challeng-
ing all comers for the champion-
ship of 846 Broadway. Any de-
partment that wants to meet the
Demon Issuers or the Collapsing
Coders should get in touch with
Herbert Altschuler at 8rd floor
west, Policy Issue Section.

to work in a jewelry store says
it's three karats.
About Windows
I got a complaint that the win-
dows in the young ladies’ after-
noon conversation and smoking
rooms had been nailed down. I
looked into the situation, and
here's what happened.
Number 1—The window sills
are so low, that there's too much
of a chance of somebody taking
a dive, and falling ten or so
floors isn’t good for the health,

the parking lot next door caught
fire from a cigarette which was

Number 3—So that nobody
will suffocate, the windows will
be fixed so that there will be a
few inches left open at the bot-
tom. That will let in air, and
leayes enough room to throw out
cigarettes. Happy now?
A Gracious Lady
A letter signed by a bunch of
people from the 7th Floor, East
Wings is sorry that Mrs, Cath=
erine Neary is leaving. They
hope that she'll be back in the
fall, but according to rumor,
she's off to take up teaching
again ..
that she ‘isn’t staying around to
become their supervisor. They
all wish the best of luck to
“Mom.” Typists, Reviewers and
Examiners joined in asking a@
mention of her in this column.
She has a son in the Air Corps.
She was always ahead on her
war bonds, and all in all, her de-
parture is a loss to Vets.
Holidays
A new order down from Wash+
ington says that the only holiday
for the duration of the war wilh
be Christmas. Looks as though
July 4 and Labor Day are just
two more spaces on the calendar.
until the war ends.
From the Mailbag
Here's another letter {from
Miss Dick's section which. pre-
sents a different point of view,
so I’m running it in full. Every-
body can have their say in this
column.
“Dear Sir:
“Tt is true that the certain
gang referred to in last week's
column has a sound basis for
resentment, but there is a cer~
tain situation which is the rea~
son for it. Miss Dick has been
requested to try to remedy it,
but she has refused. There is
one girl who is in her own way
doing her best to stir up race
hatred and antagonism and has
even ridiculed certain races and
nationalities.
“The girls feel that if she were
either entirely separated from
the group, or transferred to an-
other unit, peace would reign
again.
“The girls asked for a hear-
ing with Mr. Reichert but for
some reason this request has
been ignored.
“Besides this, certain girls feel
somewhat resentful because their
friends who have been with the
and enough of /
. they're sorriest of all |
Administration half as long as .
they, are now drawing grade 3
pay, while they plug along at
the starting salary. I hope that
you will publish this letter since
we feel that it may help to
smoothen the unpleasantness a
bit. Thank you,”
goes on the Ray Donoyan band-
wagon for direct election of of-
ficers.
In addition to these “fail-
ures,” Smiles lists two “accom-
plishments”;
1. Members in over 20,years
are permitted to buy additional
time towards their pensions.
(But, adds Smiles, this was
started before Harnedy came in-
to power),
2. A medical plan was put into
effect. (But, adds Smiles, it
hasn't had good enforcement)
Sailing Isn’t Smooth
For Donovan
Ray Donovan, who has been
distributing petitions calling for
direct election of officers by the
men, will have collected about
3,000 signatures by the time this
goes to press. Donoyan reports
that he has met almost universal
approval among the men,and now
has several delegates on his side.
However, it appears improbable
that he will have a majority of
the signatures by June 8, the day
when elections come off.
Freedom of Action
Donovan hasn't had all smooth =
sailing, however. Reports from
his men indicate that in several
instances petitions with signa~
tures have been destroyed or re-
moved.
However, even if he doesn't get
a majority of the men to sign up
before election time, Donovan is
continuing to collect the signa-
tures for what he calls “ultimate
victory” for the rights of the men
as against the delegates.

The sole qualification is a sin-
cere desire to help that man in the
Armed ‘orces get the fighting

Therre are no dues and no obli-
gation other than a person’s own
obligation to himself to live up to
his pledge to save “A-stamp-a-day,””
Choose now. Either we give our
boys the planes, tanks, guns, and
ships they've got to have to win—or
we're letting them march to their
defeat and our destruction. Planes
cost money, Tanks don’t grow on

We've got to pay for them. “We”
means all of us—ineluding you.
How? By buying War Bonds

sayings amount to $18.75 we get a

City Again Opens Jobs

In another attempt to fill military vacancies in the Police and

vice Commission has just announced that it will again
pal Civil Se
the Munici-
accept applications for $2,000 a year jobs in both departments.
Applications will be
This extension of the examin-
ation was made necessary by the
; that the turn-out of older
posts has been
disappointing, although the ap-
plication period has already been
extended in an effort to attract
more middle-aged candidates
Older Men Preferred
The official notice of the ex-
amination says “preference in
appointment will be given to
men over 38,”
As an extra inducement to at-
tract older applicants, the an-
nouncement also indicates that
men in these jobs between 38
and 45 will be regarded as doing
essential work, and that the
City may make application for
the deferment of such ap-
pointees.
The top age limit for appli-
cants is 50 years. Men under 38
who take the examination have
slight hopes of being appointed,
as the primary purpose of the
teri, is to provide a source of
draft-free eligibles for the pro-
tective forces.
Testing the Candidates
A somewhat unusual procedure
will be followed by the Commis-
received at the 96 Duane Street office of
the Commission, and they will be accepted
‘until further notice.”
those positions. The medical and
physical examinations will be
given first, and then successful
candidates: will be given the writ-
ten test
The Commission is unable to
say when the tests will begin, as
this depends on the number of
suitable applicants in the de-
sired age brackets.
The examination is “qualify-
ing.” This means that when the
list of those who have passed
the examination is established,
appointments may be made
without regard to the grades ob-
tained on the examinations, pro-
vided that the tests are passed.
A rigid character investigation
will be made of every candidate.
Physical Requirements
Here are some of the physical
requirements: Vision, Patrolman,
20°30 glasses allowed; Fireman,
20 40 no glasses. Candidates
must be physically able to per-
form the arduous duties of the
post, and can obtain exact physi-
cal and medical standards from
the Civil Service Commission
Applicants in 1-A will not be
appointed. Applications may be
filed by mail.
Positions are for the duration
sion in testing candidates for of the war.

Saga of the
Shakespeare
Of the Sanitation Scowmen
The business of spending long
hours on a City garbage scow
seems to bring out the literary
in a man. Some years ago,
John Cabbage, a scowman, pub-
lished a book of verse which
brought to the Sanitation De-
partment considerable fame and
led Mr. Cabbage forth to Holly-
wood.
Now comes another lyricist
from the scows. He's Myron
“Spike” Glazier, who made his
first appearance in print in The
LEADER about eight
ago with a poem about the soul
of a scowman. .
Now It's Serious
Now, after 13 years of writing
as a hobby, Myron feels ready
to do some serious work. As he
explains it, two narrow escapes
from death—once when he was
almost drowned, the other when
a defective damper flooded his
cabin with coal gas and almost |
finished him—made him sit
down and think.
As he explains it, “I said to
myself, ‘Spike, if you kicked off.
would there be anything you'd
be sorry for, anything you'd
missed doing?’ So, today I'm
writing.”
He's been spending his spare-
time showing his lyrics to some
of the big music publishers and
they seem to think he’s got
what the public wants.
In a few months he expects
to hear everyone walking around
humming his songs. “I Lost My
Heart in the Subway.” “Block
Buster Baby Be Mine.” and
“Letter From Camp,” are some
of the titles of the lyrics that
he's written. |
He finds that when he was
stuck in the cabin of a scow for
two weeks he had plenty of
time to write and polish up his|
work.
Better Than Saroyan
Besides the song lyrics, he ha
a two-act play, a musical, which
he firmly expects to see on
Broadway before long. He thinks
his writing is pretty much like
Saroyan, but that he’s got a
better insight into human na-
ture, His play “American Years
is a dramatic portrayal of men
at work in America with a mes-
sage of faith and hope for the
future after the war.
He'll be getting his vacation
soon, and expects to devote
every minute of it to getting a/
composer to arrange the music.
and a producer to get his play
before the public.
He worked at United Features
Syndicate before taking his City
job, and while there met writers |
like Heywood Broun and F.P.A.
who, he says, gave him the am-
bition to succeed in the ‘literary

About Saturdays Off
The staff at Welfare is burned
up again at another change.
This time it’s about jaturdays
during the summ 1 memo
“which went around to all de-
partments says that the sum-
mer schedule again will provide
for a skeleton crew to remain on
deck on Saturday mornings
{rom 9 to 12, Staff members
who work more than one Sat-
urday during the summer will
g@et equivalent time off. So far
O.K.
But every other year, the sum-
mer schedule went into effect
son Decoration Day. This year
it doesn’t start until June 19th
And another angle is this, Every
other general memo that has
come down proudly bears the
name of the issuing authority
(usually a Commissioner) on the
upper right hand corner. This
little memo just came down with
no by-line. Probably somebody
was too” modest to want credit
for this charming gesture to-
wards the employees

The Employment

I chanced to drop into the of-

of the Division of Social Sery-

knows about the work they're
doing in their corner of the 11th
floor.
With jobs going around call-

that there is much need for an

City relief rolls who are ca-
pable of working have jobs by
now, but there is still plenty of
work to help those not normally
employable to find their spot in
the production picture.
The psysically handicapped are
being placed in jobs that they
can handle, Work relief in City
departments and jobs in private
industry are being filled regu-
larly . . . and each job filled
means that another person has
regained his self-respect.
With a very smati staff, only
four job solicitors, and two oc-
cupational interviewers at each
Welfare Center, they still man-
age to give each person individ-
ual attention.
The records show that some
people have been sent on half
@ dozen leads until they were
able to find a job. Others were
given training. Young members
of relief families were encour-
ages to attend NYA or Board of
Education schools and were
What Job Classification Is
(Continued from Page Two)
helping him to solve them
through a sound and consistent
salary structure.
It is the classification man’s
responsibilitiy to determine the
grades of positions, but he will
need the backing of top man-
agement and the cooperation of
supervisors all down the line
if his work is to be of the max-
imum benefit
How the Job Analysis Is Made
All job analyses are based on
five job characteristics or fac-
tors. They are:
1. Subject matter, function,
profession or occupation repre-
sented,
2. Difficulty and complexity
of duties.
3. Non-supervisory responsi-
bilities. =
4. Supervisory and adminis-
trative responsibilities
5. Minimum qualification re-
quirements,
These five factors are eval-
uated in the individual job to
discover likenesses and differ-
ences and the relative degree of
difficulty or importance of
duties compared with other jobs.
This determines its class.
Minimum Requirements
Only minimum qualification
requirements enter job analysis.
Only the essenial requirements
to get the job done are a valid
yardstick of its difficulty and
responsibility.
Ordinarily the classification
man does not determine qualifi-
cation requirements, That is
the job of the “recruitment ex-
aminer.” However,, a close
working relationship must exist
between them so that qualifica-
tion requirements conform
closely to performance require-
ments.
The classification man may
also refer to the department's
class specifications, The speci-
fications define the criteria—the
duties, responsibilities, alloca-
tion factors and qualification
requirements — which
tiate one class of jobs from all
others, particularly from the
classes immediately above and
below in the same occupational
series, The Civil Service Com-
mission also has some specifica-
tions, primarily for the lower
classes with emphasis on the
departmental service. Class
specifications are considerably
more detailed than standard job
descriptions,
Righ Man for the Job
One of job classification’s
most important uses is in get-| %
ting the right employee for the
job, After a job is evaluated
by a classification man, he will
assign it to its proper class and
give it the established title for
the jobs in that class,
If, for example, the classifica-
tion man says a vacant position
belongs to the class of Senior
Statistical Clerk, CAF-5, the use
of that title (Senior Statistical
Clerk) will tell the Civil Service
differen- | }
helped to get their start and
assist their families.
Thousands who had made the
rounds from employment agency
to employment agency, from fac-
tory to factory, without any re-
sults were given a small job
through work-relief. And once
they developed work habits, they
managed to get into private in-
dustry.
“The charge that relief clients
are unwilling to work, lazy, ma-
lingerers, is most unfair,” says
Mrs. Mason,
“Our books show that as soon
as the employment market
opened our ,case-load dropped.
Some of our clients went hun-
dreds of miles away from home
to get a job and escape from
public support.”
Camp LaGuardia, at Orange-
burgh, just outside the Bear
Mountain Park, is another proj-
ect of this division. Here over
500 men are accommodated, and
the results have been amazing.
And with each passing month,
as the last few employables
leave the Welfare Rolls, the
work of this bureau will become
more important.
Commission what qualifications
are desired.
Away With Dead-End Jobs
Job classification eliminates
morale - destroying dead - end
jobs, by defining the normal
lines of promotion. It outlines
qualification requirements for
an employee to advance to a
better position with more salary.
Classification alone cannot
guarantee the success of any
promotion - from - within policy.
It will be up to the administra-
*tor to select the most qualified
employees for advancement.
A Quick Summary
Job classification simplifies
salary problems.
It helps the Civil Service
Commission fill vacancies.
It gives information for the
budget officer to justify staff
needs.
It increases production.
It helps you identify eligibles
for promotion,
It helps you make assign-
ments and instruct new em-
ployees in their jobs.
It is a record of the positions
of the organization.
It is useful in rating the effi-
ciency of your employees.
And for Employees Too
It assures equal pay for equal
work,
It sets up a ladder of promo-
tion.
It eliminates blind-alley jobs,
favoritism, discrimination.
It encourages equitable
ciency ratings.

Fewer Fired
Than Expected
WASHINGTON — Only 5,287
persons have actually been sepa-
rated from the Federal payroll as
a result of Budget Bureau's re-
cent personnel reduction orders.
These are Civil Service Com-
mission figures, They contrast
sharply with Budget Bureau's es-
timate that the reduction would
total 41,000. Here, however, is
the explanation:
1, In many agencies, normal
turnover absorbed the cut,
2. In other agencies, employees
slashed from one unit were
moved to other units to fill legiti-
mate vacancies.
3. In some agencies, the full
reductions are not scheduled to
take effect until June 30.

How Draft Deferment
Works for Federal Men
If you're a Federal employee
and think you're entitled to a
deferment, or a change in draft
status because of your job, you're
® not supposed to take the matter
up with your draft board.
Under the new setup, review
committees are established in
each of the three branches of
the Government, Executive, Leg-
islative and Judicial,
The major committee for the
executive branch has already
been set up by Paul V. McNutt,
‘War Manpower Commissioner.
Chairman is Robert M. Barnett,
assistant executive director, War
* Manpower Commission; Kenneth
Vipond, Civil Service Commis-
sion, and Colonel Edward A.
Fitzpatrick, Selective Service
System.
Monthly Reports
The Director of Selective
, Service must make monthly re-
Ports to Congress on the num*
ber of Federal employees who
hhave been granted deferments,
Here's how it works out:
In each Federal agency, there
is a committee which makes
requests for deferment of key
employees to the President's
committee. Under terms of Ex-
ecutive Order No. 9309, the em-
ployee can’t ask his departmen-
tal committee for the occupa-
tional deferment.
Only One Deferment
And only one deferment, not
over six months, may be granted
to any employee on occupational
grounds. In practice, your de-
partment head will ask the com-
mittee to consider deferring you.
If they feel that you are abso-
lutely essential, and cannot be
replaced in less than six months,
they will pass the request on,
The executive order makes no
provision to extend any defer-
ments beyond six months, but it
is felt in governmental quarters
that some arrangements will
have to be made to allow more
extended deferments for highly
specialized workers,
But once the President's com-
mittee O. K.'s the deferment,
the local draft board has to
honor the request,
Procurement Inspection
~~ Jobs With the Air Forces
Procurement inspection jobs with the War Department Air
Forces are now open to women as well as men, the age limit has
been lowered to 19, and experience requirements have been reduced.
‘The salaries ranging between $1,620 and $2,600, and overtime pay
after 40 hours are inducements of these civil service war tenure jobs.
Positions are to be filled in the
following States: Connecticut,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
South Carolina, Vermont and
Virginia and the District of Co-
lumbia.
No written test will be given
but applicants will be rated on
the basis of their experience,
and applications will be received
until the needs of the service
haye been met.
Duties will consist of inspect-
ing and checking materials in
the various flelds.
The following tables list the
Interchangeable
Subway Lists
Proposed
In order to equalize promo-
tional opportunities in the Board
of Transportation, and in view
of the labor shortage, the New
York City Civil Service Commis-
sion last week suggested to the
Board of Transportation that its
promotional lists be used inter-
changeably among the various
divisions,
The mechanics suggested are
similar to the setup by which
municipal promotional lists are
used on a city-wide basis, As
soon as any promotional list in
one transit line (B. M, T. con-
ductor for instance) becomes ex-
hausted, available lists in the
other divisions will be used to
make appointments.

City Proposes to Change
Titles in Civil Service
The Municipal Civil Service
Commission is holding a public
hearing on Tuesday, June 1, at
1:30 p.m. on a proposed reclassi-
fication of the City’s civil serv-
ice.
The Commission describes the
proposed changes as merely be-
ing a restatement of existing
conditions in order to bring their
records up to date.
These three types of changes
are being made:
Grade lines are. being
changed in many titles by
adding one cent to some salaries,
and one dollar to others. This
is intended to conform with the
City Budget, and ease the book-
keeping problem. (Grade 2 clerks
for instance, have been listed as
from $1,200 to $1,799.99; now
the range will be from $1,201 to
$1,800.)
Q—Existing titles which have
not been placed formally
in the classification will be in-
serted in their proper place in
the various services.
‘Titles which. are believed
obselete and no longer
likely to be used are being
stricken out.
No Controversial Changes
‘The Commission has indicated
that it has avoided placing any
controversial changes in the pro-
posed classification. Resolutions
now pending before the Com-
mission, the Mayor or the State
Civil Service Commission have
not been included in the new
list.
State Promotion
Tests Announced
The State Civil Service Com-
mission has announced the fol-
lowing promotional examinations
which are open for employees in
the departments mentioned who
meet the requirements of the
announcement.

‘Law Suit Starts

charging that the Commission's
action was arbitrary, and that
