SENATE ISSUE

5 of 10 Committee Votes Deemed
Sure, 3 Opposed and 2 Doubtful

By HAL J. MILLER
Special to The LEADER

WASHINGTON, Nov, 20—Sena-
tor Sheridan Downey is sure of
five votes for the 20 per cent pay
raise on the 10-man Senate Civil

Service Committee, but three are

opposed and two are doubtful.
is thus a little early to start
Joicing, but there is considerable
optimism that the raise will be
approved. :

Chairman Downey is reasonably
sure of support from Senators
Mead of New York, Taylor of
Idaho, Aiken of Vermont and
Langer of North Dakota for a pay
raise, but not for all provisions of
the bill, such as the heavy
creases for Cong
and top Governn

men, Judges
Officials.

15 Per Cent Expected

In view of this situation, best
Money is that there will be a com-
promise, increasing pay of white-
collar workers under the classi-
fication act by a round 16 per
cent.

Despite delaying tactics of Sena-

in- |

fewer civil servants in govern-
ment, Senator Downey is fighting
for Immediate action on the meas-
ure.

sible that Senator George, who
has evinced sympathy in the pay

t was

of the bill Senator Hart is be
lieved to be in favor of Byrd's
appeal to postpone a decision.

Senator Byrd has lined up with
him Senator McKellar of Ten-
nessee and Senator Hickenloo;
of Iowa and he wants Mr. Georgels
vote, Should they succeed in get-
ting the bill delayed there will be
either additional hearings or an
extended shelving of the bill.

Health Bill Reported

The Downey committee reported
favorably on the House-approved
Randolph health bill which would
set up health units in Federal
agencies. Senator Hickenlooper’s
| amendment, to prevent the crea-
} tion of clinics where there were
few employees, was approved,

Exam Off
Until Jan.

No Fireman (F.D.) examination
this year. Filing will not start be-
fore January. There will be no
December series of examination
announcements by NYC, except
for the reissue of Home Econom-
| ist When the January series is
| announced the Fireman title may
be added to the list of five already
included,

It was intended to start the
filing as soon as possible, around
iddie of this month, but the
tuation in the Fire De-
t is unusually tight, Al-
ready the Department is around
a million dollars behind what it
could use. So, not having any
definite assurance of how many
vacancies were likely to be pa
within a given period, the Cc
Civil Service Commission decided
te hold off announcing the open-
ing of filing for the examination.
Some time after the first of the
year Budget Director Thomas J.
Patterson expects that the situ-
ation will clear up in the Fire De-
partment and_the examination
then can go ahead,

many can be obtained from that

tension, The general Pireman list,
that expires next month, is con-
sidered likely to die with few, if
any, more appointments from it.

Los Angleles recently Installed a
service rating program, employing
sorting and tabulating machines,
to evaluate on-the-job perform-
ance of its 12,000 municipal
employees, The International City
Managers’ Association reports.

Twice each year ratings will be
made of job performance to guide
employee advancements under the
new salary standardization plan.
‘The new salary plan, made effect
ive at the same time, creates a 5-
step salary scale for each position,
with advancement from step 1 to
step 2 aucomacic after one year's
service, but with further advance-
ment depending upon the em-
ployee’s performance,

The employees will be rated
according to the quantity of work, |
quality of work, application, suit-
ability, personal qualifications, and
over-all value to the department,

The ratings are made directly}
on specially designed tabulated
cards to permit mass sorting and

Ratings will be made by the
immediate supervisor, a reviewing
and a rating committee.
Discussion of the employee's final
score between the employee and
the rating officer is planned in
order to promote self-improvement
on the part of the employee, Em-
Ployees who believe they are un-
fairly rated may ask for a review
by the department head, and a
committee chairman from the
civil service board. If he is still
not satisfied with his score, the
employee may next appeal to the
civil service board.

signed an executive order provid-

Bureau complain that many of

effect that veterans within the

non-veterans doing very nicely,

Many chiefs are veterans of
World War I and other conflicts.
Some World War II veterans feel
slightly fed-up.

Veterans complain that they
have to wait 5 to 10 weeks for a

PBA Tests
Its Plan of
Elections

Difect election of officers of the
Patrolmen’s Benevolent Associa-
tion by the members of that or-
ganization will become a reality.
One of the most controversial is-
sues in NYC police circles is
speedily rolling to a successful
conclusion, after a vote by dele-
@ates of the PBA, instructing the
present Board of Officers to poll
the entire membership on “these
questions;

1, Shall the election of PBA of-
ficers be by direct vote of PBA
members?

2. Shall the election of PBA of-
Acers by delegates be continued?
198 to 23 Victory

The delegates voted 198 to 23
for the proposal that the issue be
solved by the Patroimen them-
selves,

For many years the question of
@irect voting has figured in the
election of officers, The PBA meth-
od of operation, whereby delegates
are responsible for everything—
no membership meeting is ever
held—has opened the organization
to widespread criticism among its
own members.

Efforts to alter the situation
have always failed, On several
occasions Ray Donovan has polled
the membership on their feelings
in this matter, At the October
meeting of delegates, Mr. Donovan
introduced a resolution calling for
direct voting, but it failed of pas-
sage.

Election Fight Recalled

The successful motion was in-
troduced this time by Patrolman
it reached
the floor it had the concerted sup~
port of Patrolman John Carton
and of the entire slate which had
run with him at the last election
of officers, Mr. Carton and Mr,
Donovan had run against the in-
cumbent, Pat Harnedy, for the
Presidency of the PBA. Mr. Car-
ton’s approach to the issue, and
the presentation from the floor by
his colleagues, won the point de-
elsively.

It is expected that the men will
yote overwhelmingly in favor of

direct elections.

Delegates Join In

A large group of the delegates
themselves have maintained that
the delegate system of ek
counted in large measure for lack
of interest in the PBA activities
among the rank and file of the
department. The younger men in
the department have viewed the
retention of the old delegate sys-
tem as a means of perpetuating
the power of the entrenched clique
ood. The LEADER has many
imes stated its view that direct
election of officers will make for
@ stronger PBA.

$2,000 Entrance Endorsed

The PBA delegates endorsed
legislation to raise the entrance
salary of new Patrolman to $2,000
At present the legal minimum for
entrance into the Police Dept.
is $1,320 a year, a reduction from
the old $2,000 figure which was
changed during the LaGuardia
administration, However, the
latest group of entrants to the
Police Department (who are now
at the Police Academy) are re-
celving $2,420 a year in salary,
representing the $2,000 plus bonus
of $420. Mayor LaGuardia pub-
Mcly announced that the former
1,320 wasn't enough for a man to
ve on, and the PBA unanimously
agreed with him and js asking that
the idea be put into law.

Patterson Sees No Obstacle

Commissioner Wallander put on
the heat for a Patrolman exami-
nation after a conference with
Mayor-elect O'Dwyer, Mr. Wal
lander will remain as Commis-
sioner under Mayor O'Dwyer. +

Mr, Patterson said that the need |

for more men is urgent in the
Police Department and that the
budget can support some more ap-
pointments. The present Patrol
man eligible lst would be used,
but that expires next year.

“T see nothing in the way of a
new examination for Patrolman,”
said Mr, Patterson,

President Marsh declared that
the Fiireman (F.D,) examination
would be held before the Patrol-
man examination and that no an-
nouncement of either examination
could be made until the Commis-
sion was apprised of the probable
number of vacancies that could
be filled. This lent further weight
to the idea that limited-sized lists
would be used.

Put Up to Commission

General O'Dwyer suggested that,
besides giving every other oppor-
tunity to more veterans to take
examinations, that the age limits
nd the 29-year maxi-
mum now fixed by law. There is
a bill in the Council to raise this
limit for veterans to 35.

He pointed out that hundreds
of veterans who might wish to do
police work now are ineligible for
the examination because they
have passed the age limit.

“We've been ssing the de-
sirability of ha
armed servi

es particularly be-
cause of the excellent training
they ave - received,” said Mr.
, after his talk with Mr,
Wallander, “These men are well
fitted to become policemen. The
question htat remains to be an-
swered must come from the Civil
Service Commission,”
Policewoman Examination
Many young women are anxious-
ly waiting to hear news of an
examination for Policewoman with
the Police Department, This popu-
lar test, with an entrance salary
of $2,000 a year, hasn't been given

With a planned expansion of the
Police Department, as announced
by Commissioner Arthur Wallan-
der, many women are looking for-
ward to an opportunity to compete
in the examination, Last time the
test was held, age limits were 21
to 28 and the other requirements
were:

(1) Graduation from Senior
High School and two years of
satisfactory full-time paid experi-
ence in social probation, parole,
penological work, teaching, nurs:

Seniority
Change Is
Under Way

Details of the proposed plan te
change the method of rating
seniority in the NYC service are
to be made public this week by
the Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission.

A report has been submitted by
the Board of Examiners to Preai~
dent Harry W. Marsh of the Com-
mission, While he is in favor of
the general principles expressed
in the report, he had some objec-
tion to a partioular part. The
revised report will be made the
subject of a public hearing, Presi-
dent Marsh said.

City employees have evinced «
great deal of interest in seniority
rating, especially since it counts
50 per cent in a promotion ex-
amination. At first there was an
intimation that the percentage
distribution was to be changed,
but Mr. Marsh has since said that
50-50 is still the rule, there is ne
intention of changing it, but thas
the weight given to particular
years may be changed.

Stresses Earller Years

The report is expected to recom-
mend that higher weight be given
to the earlier years of service, This
would involve controversial aspects
in which those employees with the
greatest seniority under the pre~
sent system of reckoning would be
most interested. However, the ex-
tra benefit to those junior in point
of service should be provoke @
corresponding interest—although
in the opposite direction—by the
younger element.

President Marsh is greatly in-
terested in improving promotional
opportunities and methods, and
the present move is part of a gen-
eral scheme. Some 30-odd promo-
tion examinations that have been
kicking about the Commission's
office for some months now, may
| get early action under a speed-up

policy. An employee group repre-
sentative is reported to have
spoken to Mayor-elect O’Dwyer
about these delayed examinations,
| The plen is to get the new
seniority rules on the books be-
fore the examinations get under
way.

Ample notice will be given te

U. S. CIVIL SERVICE MOVES
TOWARD SOUNDER HIRING

a indication that the U. S. Civil Service is now mov-
ing toward a more realistic recruitment policy is
found in the notice of examination just issued for Steno-
grapher and Typist. Although the appointments are to be
war service, they are to be made as the result of competi-
tive examinations of standard pattern, with written and
practical tests. Thus the eligibles whe accept these

VETERANS ASKING FOR TESTS
SHOULD RECEIVE THEM

The NYC Civil Service Commission is finding it more and more
difficult to answer the growing demands of returned veterans that
they shall be permitted to take the part of an examination that
they missed because they were in the armed forces, }

Some of the veterans, while in the service, received letters from
the Commission, saying that they would be given that opportunity,

On return they learned that the Commission had found it impossible
to fulfill its promise. This must create embarrassment in the Com~

attractive brunette walking down | mission, but the feeling that is generated in the breast of the veterans

positions will be in a much better position than those war-
service appointees who did not pass such a competitive
examination, but will have to pass one finally, if job
security is to be theirs,

Also, the U. S. job of Messenger is now open to
non-veterans, whereas it was formerly restricted to vet-
erans. Since jt has been difficult to fill these positions also,
there is nothing gained for the Government or the veterans
by getting fewer applicants than there are vacancies.
Veterans get first choice, but in soliciting civilians as well,
a pool may be created from which appointment may be

to deny the veterans the opportunity they ask, but that the facilities
of the Commission simply do not permit it. There is not enough
help. Also, with veterans of this class returning in small groups,
repeated examinations could mot be given without exhausting the

made. Vacancies are very numerous.

The general resumption

of standard examinations,

rather than reliance on rating for experience and training
only, would be a further improvement,
What is really needed, however, is an end of war-

way to future reclasifications, to

eliminate s contradiction In the
State service, This was the per-
formance of the same duties by
two different groups. Those In-
structors who are properly so
titled remain so, however,

Budget Director Burton ap-
Proved the reclassifications that
‘were recommended by J. Ear!
Kelly, Director of Classification,
and President J, Edward Conway
of the State Civil Service Com-
mission has made the reclassific-
tion official, Changes are retro-
active to Oct. 1, 1943.

Incumbents are covered into
the classified service with their
positions, and no examination Is
required. This is standard prac-
tice under Section 48a of the Civil
Service Law,

Mr. Kelly wrote to the hospital

“These reclassifications are cor-
rective of original errors, As you
know, positions In the occupa-
tional therapy departments of the
Mental Hygiene institutions were
Teclassified on October 1, 1943, to
Occupational Therapist or to
Occupational Instructor or Aide,
depending upon the personal
qualifications of the incumbents.
“Those who were registered thera-

ists or who had passed competi-

ive civil service examinations for
Occupational Therapist received
the Therapist title, The others
did not. In short, we reclassified
individuals, rather than positions.
This was not good classification
and certainly cannot result in
equal pay for equal work.

“To attain this objective it is
fundamental that Uke positions

fore, we have reviewed all of the

law provides that where an em-
ployee has been performing the
duties of the reclassified posiiton
continuously since October 1, 1942,
has been satisfactory,
the Civil Service Commission may
give to him the new title without
requiring him to be further ex-
amined for it. This provision of
law has been consistently applied
since it was written into the origi-
nal Feld-Ostertag Act in 1938 in
every department or institution to
which standard Feld-Hamilton
titles have been applied. The

is the desire of the Attendants to

have privately admitted that the
Attendants have a good cast,

Fair Play For Attendants

It Was my pleasant duty to attend the hearing of the Salary
Standardization Board on Salaries for Attendants, Staff Attendants
and Supervising Attendants. The hearing is reported in The ER

this Pgeon I wi

however, to make some personal observations,

In my opinion the employees made a very strong case. It will
be hard indeed for the Salary Board to deny their appeals.

The Attendants comprise the largest and the key group in all
the Mental Hygiene hospitals, The entire State plan for the ade~
quate care of the mentally handicapped succeeds or falls as the at~

tendants serve well or poorly.

There {s no more difficult job than that of the hospital attend-
ant. Not one person in a thousand applicants will make a success
in the job. High intelligence, courage, resourcefulness, understand~

ing of the patient’s mind and condition, nursing skill, patience, all
these and other rare human qualities are required to make a good

Attendant,

A DIFFICULT JOB
I referred to the Attendants present as “Exhibit A,” and I asked

the Board to go beyond and beneath their wor

s and to assess their

personality, their motives, thelr moral sense and the fundamental
humanity that had kept them in their thankless jobs these many

years,

The Attendant position is not easily defined or described. It is
the entering step to nearly all hospital positions except the higher
medical positions. It leads to higher mechanical, trade, protection,
laboratory, clerical and accounting positions to mention only a few,

To confine ourselves merely to the nursing care, which Js the
core of the typical attendant job, the main purpose of the hospitals
is not @ custodial but a curative job. To cure the maximum number
of patients and to return them to normal civilan Life is the chief

aim both of the State in establishing mental hospitals and for the
staff (mostly Attendants) who operate them,

Then there are the thousands of incurables whp must be cared
exactly as liltle children require loving care. To keep this group

of incurabies as small as possible, and to care for them as tenderly
as possible, is the first hatd obligation of the Attendant for this

group of patients,

even repeated threats or attacks, may be allowed to excuse any fall

or default here by the attendants. bi ya
I am told that the Salary Board plans to visit several hospitals

50 as to see the jobs described in actual operation. That is an excel-

lent idea. As literature is not life, as truth is stranger than fiction,

as reality differs from any

any painting or picture or account of reality,

50 the actual job differs from any specifications, however, expertly

set down.

May the Salary Board base its decision on all the facts set forth
at the hearing and verified by their visits. No problem as “\mportant

as is this is settled until it is settled right.

Following are the answers to
the civil service quiz which
peared in this column last we

1, False. Although three names
are required to be certified to
appointing officer who has one
pneu to fill, only four names
need be certified if he has two
vacancies to fill. The rules require
the certification of only two more
names than there are vacancies
to be filled. Rule VII (2),

2. True. Although an eligible
must be given four business days
in which to respond to an offer
of appointment that 1s made
through the mails, this period may
be limited to one business day if
the offer is made via telegraph.
Rule VIE (2).

3. True, Where the position in-
volves the institutional or other
care of persons of a particular
sex or involves visitation, inspec-
tion, or other work the nature of
which requires sex selection, cer-
tification of eligibles may be made
on the basis of thelr sex. The gen-
eral rule, however, is that a per-
s0m May not be debarred from
certification because of sex. Rule
VEE (2),

4. False. While a nominee for
provisional appointment pending
the establishment of an appro-
priate eligible list may not be re-
quired to take and pass a written
examination in ordor for his tem-
porary a intment to be ap-
proved, still he ls required to pass
some examination, This may con~
sist of an evaluation of past train-
ing and experience to determine
whether the nominee would at
least be eligible to compete for
the position to which he has been
nominated for provisional ap-
pointiment,

5. False, The rules specifically
provide that the period of tem-
porary service of an eligible who
is subsequently appointed from the
eligible Uist on a permanent basis
shall not be counted as part of
his probationary service, No great+

Rule XV (1).

14. False. WhiTto transfer from
one competitive class position to
another will not be allowed where
it is practicable to fill by promo-
tion the position to which transfer
is sought, this does not apply to
transfers between non-competi~
tive positions because promotion
to or from non-competitive posi-
tions {s not authorized. Accord-
ingly, there is no imitation on the
provision in the Rules that “a
person holding a position in the
non-competitive class may be
transferred to a similar position
in the same class,” Rule XV (5),

15, False, Although an em-
ployee is ordinarily eligible for
reinstatement within one year
from the date of resignation, this
pre-supposes that he has been
employed immediately prior to
such resignation. An employee on
leave of absence without pay for
more than a year ls deemed to
have resigned a5 of the date his
leave commenced, He cannot ex-
tend his time to return by re-
signing because as soon as the
aggregate of time on leave and
time on resignation equals one
year, he is deemed to have re-
signed as of the commencement
of his leave. At such time also
his one year's eligibility for reln~
statement expires.

BY SCHWARTZ

of the institutions are engaged in
ward service,

Remember that patients require
attention for 24 hours each day,
and that the attendant must fit
himself to one or the other of any
of the many eight hours shifts,
regardless of how inconvenient
such shifts may be or how greatly
they interfere with home and
family life,

Remember also that the attend-
ant must live with the mentally
and physically il! during his work-
{ng hours. Not only are the duties
exacting and exhausting, but the
environment is depressing and en-
tirely different from that in most
Ines of human endeavor,

Of all of the varied types of
positions in an institution, that
of the attendant carries with it
the greatest degree of physical
hazard,

Only Substantial Way

There is only one substantial
to reward an attendant and
that is by compensating him gen-
erously and fairly for the type of
work which he performs and the
environment in which he must
work. In considering the proper
wage scales for the attendant, we
must emphasize the fact that he
works 48 hours each week. He’ is
not on a 40 or a 38 hour week.
His work year calls for 2,496 hours.
Does anyone think that a dollar
an hour ts too much for the char-
acter of work performed by the
attendant? I am sure that few
citizens visiting an institution and
spending a day—and eight hour
day—with an attendant would not
think it was too much.

$1,300 per year means 52 cents
per hour. $1,700 per year is 68}
cents per hour, $2,100 would be
84 cents per hour,

The Association believes that if
the State of New York will take
into consideration all of the facts

taining to the attendant group,
it will establish a pay scale of at
least that of Service 2, Grade 2b
650 to $2,150.

Governor's Interest

Your decision in this matter
may not well be ignored by,the
Governor in his 1946 recommenda-
tons as they relate to all personal
service appropriations,

There is no question whatever
that the economic and social cone
ditions of the present time call
for substantial increase in the
basic scales of all State employ-
ees. If we have been fearful of
paying too high an entrance scale
during the war because of a lower

How Veterans
Should Protect
Their Insurance

State employees returning
from military duty to active
State service can have their
Group Life Insurance Policy,
obtained through the Associa-
tion of State Civil Service Em-
Ployees, which was in force
when they entered military
service, reinstated without medi-
eal examination.

Any New York State employee
whose accident and sickness pot-
icy in the Group Plan of the
State Association was In force
when he entered military serv-
ice may have his policy rein-
stated by appiying, in writing,
within 30 days of release from
military service.

All that is necessary is to
apply to the Association within
90 days of return to State
service,

Address the Association of
State Civil Service Employees,

bany 1, N. ¥.

stated purposes of the adminis-
tration.

The present State administra-
tion is rightfully seeking to ts-
tablish fair standards of living for
all of its citizens, It may not
therefore establish such low rates
of pay for attendants as to dis-
courage the returning soldier or
others from entering this neces-
sary field of service, Too long the
State has hypocritically deplored
its inability to recruit satisfactory
workers in its State hospitals and
schools for the mentally il} of
defective.

Why Jobs Aren't Sought

This Board must know that the
reason citizens have not sought
work in the institutions has been
because of the failure of the State
to adequately compensate the
workers for their services. In the
case of mental hygiene institu-
tional services, the State has ac-
tually called upon the worker to
subsidize the State by giving on
the basis of charity a tremendous
measure of service over very many
years not asked of other workers
within or without the service,

If justice as we understand jus-
tice is to be done here as to the
attendant group it will favorably
affect basic scales for workers gen-
erally, If it is not done, it will
further undermine institutional
Service and it will increase the
Reneral unrest throughout State
service because of the failure of
the State to meet the wage needs
of this period in which we live,

begin to copy the test exercise.
Type the exercise on the sheet
provided by the examiner, Space,
paragraph, spell, punctuate, cap-
itallze, and begin and end each
line exactly as in the exercise. You
will have 10 minutes in which to
show how well you can type. In
hong to pass the test you must
30 lines of copy CORRECT-
B but these 30 correct Unes =
not directly follow each other. The
exercise contains 21 lines; and
therefore if you make no mistakes
in typing, you will need to copy
the exercise only about one and
one-half times in the 10 minutes
allowed. It will be to your. advan-
tage to pay particular attention
to the accuracy of your typing.
Do not type or attempt to cor-
rect any line or part of a line fn
which you notice that you have

made a mistake. If you notice) lows:

that you have made an error in
a line, you need not finish that
line, but may proceed Immediately
to type the following line. Make no
erasures, insertions, or other cor-
rections on your typed copy of the
exercise. Errors will be penalized
whether or not you erase them or
attempt to correct them in some
other way.

The following exercise is a
sample of Copying from Plain
Copy, which must be typed line
for line:

‘This practice exercise is similar

in length and in difficulty to the
one that you will be required to
typewrite for the Plain Copy Test.
You are to space, capitalize, punc-
tuate, spell, and begin and end
each line precisely as in the copy.
Make no erasures, insertions, or
other changes in this test because
errors will be penalized even if
they are erased or otherwise cor-
rected. Practice typewriting this
material on scratch paper until
the examiner tells you to stop,
remembering that for this exami-
nation it is more important for
you to typewrite accurately than
to typewrite rapidly, There are
several ways in which a typist can
prepare herself to be an efficient
worker in a business office. First of
all, she should know her type-
writer thoroughly,the location of
all the keys, even those used in-
frequently, the use of the marginal
stops and the extra devices fur-
nished on modern typewriters, In
addition to being completely 28 fami-
Mar with the typewriter, she shi
know how to use the dictionary
to verify the spellings and mean-
ings of unfamiliar words. Even
though a letter has been typewrit-
ten neatly, without erasures or
strike-overs, 1 will still be con-
sidering unsatisfactory if it con-
any misspellings whatsoever.

POLETTI 1S CONFIDENT—

That Italy Will Vote for Democracy, Civil Service Will Be

Col. Charles Poletti supervised the feeding of hungry people in Italy.

(The author of this article, for~

mer Governor of the State of New
York, who was a Colonel in the
Army, was discharged the other

day a/ter spendirio 2% years in

North Africa, Sicily and Italy as

an officer of the American Mili-
tary Government. He was deco-
rated by the American and British
armies, the Italian Government
and the National Committee of
Liberalization. Pope Pius XII,
in recognition ,of services to the
Italian people in moving refugees

and rehousing the homeless, made}

him a Commander, with Star, of
the Order of St. Gregory.

By CHARLES POLETTI

If the United Nations will give
substantial help during thig trying
winter, there is no reason. for
alarm over Italy's future, either
political or economic, We may be
fully confident that Italy will take
her rightful place in the family
of nations, There is a resurgence
of the true and traditional spirit
of liberty and justice.

‘The maturity and balance rooted
in Italy's deep heritage of common
sense and culture will supplement
the efforts being made in her
behalf by friendly nations,

‘There is need to fear either

& revolution to the right or to the
left; nor to fear the holding of
the Spring elections or their re-

sults,
Justifiable Optimism
The Italians themselves—men

they will have a monarchy or be-
come a Republic. We are justified
in being optimistic about the
future, especially as Italy is
equipped for self-government, tn-
| deed “is maintaining it demo-
cratically right now, and, as we
observed, liking it, Shaken by
destructive bombing, and bitterly
| conscious that Italy was forced by
Fascist dictatorship into the
wrong side of the war, the Itali-
ans are showing signs of great
energy and industry. There are
divergent and vociferous forces
in operation in Italy elsewhere,
They are the fruit of democracy,
But thelr existence is no excuse
for indulging in dire prophesies,
There will be food shortages, no
doubt, but the Italians are equal
|to them, There will be cold, lack
| ot shelter and scarcity of warm
clothing. The Italians can take
it. But our task is to reduce their
suffering, to give them all the
assistance we can, We should
as they do, we will not
to prevent all hardship.
The situation is ac The devas-
tation alone is a barrier to imme-
¢ well being throughout Italy.
\Transportation, both ygil and mo-
tor, are not ample efiough, But
Italy has the spirit to see itself
through to full recovery, spirit-

politically,
Italy’s Great Strength
Though weakened by two de-
cades of Fascism, Italy has great
residual strength, and that

ually, morally, economically and |

clative. people. Italy knows that

the United Nations want it to re-

cuperate fast and fully and its

spirit is stimulated by that knowl-
edge.

‘There is good feeling in Italy
toward the Americans, not only
because of the many family ties
with citizens of this country, but
because of the good treatment re- |

ceived at the hands of the Ameri-

cans and the great interest in

Ttaly and Italians that the Ameri-

cans have shown, plus the tangible

examples of eagerness to help.
Labor Unions Active

Employment conditions in Italy
are precarious, The need for raw
materials and fuel is great. Yet
some gains are being made and
more are to follow.

Following VE Day there were
no coal deliveries to Northern
Italy, which nds on imports
to fill its coal needs. Now 350,000
tons of coal are being delivered
monthly, and it is to be hoped
that this can be stepped up, es-
pecially since the pre-war con-
sumption was 4 million tons a
month. The steel mills are getting
started again, Other industries
are beginning to produce,

Labor unions operate all over
Italy. There is one large central
union, the National Confederation
of Labor, It has three directing
heads, one re enting the Demo-
cratic Christian party, another
the Socialist party and the third

the Communistic party. ‘There are |

city and provincial chambers of
labor, which are non-government-

gaining exists and there are other

rights similar to those enjoyed by

labor in our own country,

Brody Gets
Health Job

William Brody is the new
Personnel Officer of the NYC

on the open-competitive exam-
ination for the $5,500 a year post.
To take it, he gave up a position
in_ Washington as Personnel
Officer of the War Labor Board,
where he supervised 2.600 full-
time employees and 5,000 per diem
workers,

He started with the NYC Civil
Service Commission in 1937 as an
Examining Assistant at $1 an hour.

In_his new job he'll handle all
personnel matters for almost 4,000
Health Department employees. His
plans include a reclassification of
titles in the Department, and a
“suggestion box” setup to spur
employees’ interest in their jobs,

The Personnel Officer title {s
new in the city service and carries
with it duties to suggest per-

and fighting, particularly in
Northern Italy, were put into the
Police Jobs that had been occupied
by Fascists and by Nazi sympa-
thizers, And it was even necessary
to dismiss policemen who had
merely carried out Nazi orde:
because so many whom they had
arrested were never seen again,
and the feeling against such po-
lice officers was strong.

In Milan City alone we cleaned
out between 85 and 90 per cent
of the police force, Each case was
carefully sereéned. In each in-
stance a board, consisting of Ital-
ians, did this work, first, because
they could do it more quickly and,
} second, because they knew more
about it. And, as an evidence of
the democratic process, each po-
iceman recommended for dismis-
wal had the right of appeal.

Civil Service Jobs

The civil government employee
in Italy normally holds a job un-
der ciroumstances not much dif-
ferent than those obtaining in bur
own country. He has civil service
protection, or permanent status,
in our terminology, and retention
on the basis of inverse order of
seniority under present new con-
ditions, There is a veteran pref-
erence for Partisans, where pos-
sible, for they were the ones who
kept fighting the Nazis. There
are very many temporary employ-
| ees in Government jobs, somewhat
| similar to provisionals under New
| York State law, A primary re-
| quirement for any appointment
\is 8 clean bill of health, which

means no possible taint of Fas-
cism.

Competitive civil service
aminations

ex-
will have to be held,
so that Italy can build a strong
civil service, which is the back-
bons of civil administration, The
examinations can not successfully
be based solely on past experience
of the applicants in government
work, because under Fascism sub-
servience to the Fascist system
was a condition of public employ-
ment. A full opportunity must
be afforded to the Partisans in

entrance examinations and in pro-
motion examinations.

More Pay Advised
Also, the pay must be increased.
A public employee should be paid
enough to enable him to live on
that income alone. Thus
these temptations, which Fascism
fed on and encouraged, be re-
moved.
Fascism’s credo was that every-
one was dishonest. Now Italy is en=
jJoying the advantages of honesty
in its public officials, Men of abil-
ity and integrity occupy the top
civil posiitons and set an example
to their employees,
The Fascists boasted that they
had no unemployment but investi~
gation proved that they “solved”
the unemployment problem by
putting on the Government pay-
roll those unemployed adults
whom they had not already put
in the armed forces. The Italians
know how ‘pitiful that fallacious
device is, as only a victim can
know tt.

Tt will take a# considerable
amount of hard work and un-
| relently courage to revitalize the
| civil service of Italy. ‘Phere is
room for vast improvement. But
the anti-Fascist forces which now
dominate the government are de-
termined to achieve it, because
they appreciate that an honest
and efficient civil service is essen-
ital to public administration in
a democracy.

3 Prevailing Wage
