One Head Seen

Speculaion this week in the
Wage and Hour Division of the
U. S, Department of Labor's new
Broadway office that Pre
dent Roosevelt's appointment of
Lewis Metcalfe Walling as ad-
ministrator of the division inight
well be a prelude to a consolida-

tion of the wage-hour and Labor
Department Public Contract Di-
vision

Mr. Walling, who hails from
Rhode Island, and who has been

so tied up by Congress he
ven

hasn't
irrived at 1560 Broadway to
e his new duties, has been
head of the Contract Bureau since
1937, It is entirely likely, ob-
servers feel, that President Roose
velt, in his feverish tightening-1p
activities, may choose to make
Mr, Walling administrator of both
departments, especially in view \

the fact that both interlock to a
large degree,

PAY RAISES

Immigration Men
Ask Increase

Immediate reclassification of
Immigration Guards to the grade
warranted by the nature of their
arduous work in order to obtain
pay increases of $300 a year for
those Feedral employees earning
less than $3,000 a year was urged
this week by the U. S, Immigra-
tion and Naturalization Service
Field Employees’ Association,

David R. Stein, president of the
organization, who also called for
time-and-a-half for overtime to
match the standard prevailing in
private industry, charged that
while the normal work-week for
guards is pegged at 44 hours, ac-
tual practice indicates these em-

ployees work in excess of that.
receiving no compensation,

“The salary of the Immigration
Guards is $1,320 a year, with the
bulk of the men receiving the
minimum, equivalent to §25 a
week, Try to support a family on
that in these times and you'll
know what I'm talking about,"’
he added,

Describes Duties

At Ellis Island, according to Mr,
Stein, the duties of Immigration
Guards normally include guarding
of detained aliens, including crim-
inals and enemy aliens; transport-
ing insane and criminal aliens
from institutions to the island;
deportation of aliens; escorting of
criminal ond enemy aliens for
court hearings, and verification of
alien departures from this coun-

try." Persistent efforts to have
the work classified as “hazard-
ous’ have been fruitless, Mr.

Stein said.

the mayor do with all of them?
‘The mayor this week provided the
answer: he's sending all of them
pack to department heads,

The letters are being passed
pack to the various departments
with a great aura of silence sur-
rounding the reason, Neither the
Mayor's office nor department
heads cared to comment on the

him about it last week, Mr,

“would see what can possibly be
done within monetary _limita-
tion

Borough presidents Cashmore

Bronx, have also expressed sim-

ilur friendly, but innocuous, sen-
timents,

Mr, Nathan was interviewed by
James V, Barry, civil service
chairman of the New York State
Federation of Labor; Martin God-

business representative of the In-

substantial sums of money annu-
ally because of Budget Director

Mr. Dayton told The LEADER
he was definitely peeved by word

©f $620,580,000 for 1942-43 dove-
lalled almost precisely with the
tevenue the city could pick up by

“The whole thing's purely a co-
'neidence,”’ said Mr, Dayton. “You

Ment heads didn't pool their re-
Quests, The budget increase asked
for has absolutely no connection

Should promotion opportunities
for city employees be increased ?

Should State and Federal civil
service lists be used to fill mu-
nicipal jobs?

A public hearing on these two
problems attracted a yociferou
overflow audience to the Ci
Service Commission last Wednos-
day, Opinion on lowering the
gibility requirements for promo-
tion tests was divided.

Opinion against the use of
State and Federal lists to fill city
jobs was unanimous.

Line-up of Organizations

Opponents of a proposed amend-
ment to the rules and regulations
of the Civil Service Commission
designed to broaden the promotion
chances for approximately 25,000
city employees in the clerical,
ferry, inspection, legal, prison, at-
tendance, and medical services by
reducing the eligibility requir
ments to six months were the Cor-
rection Officers Benevolent Asso-
ciation, the Captains and Deputy
Wardens, Department of Corree-
tion Association, Patrolmen’s
Benevolent Association and the
Civil Service Forum,
rederick G. Libby, president of
the Civil Service Forum, said he
was “not opposed’? to the amend-
ment in principle but ‘was con-
cernod with the new matter." H
suggested that four of the para
graphs to be deleted and replaced
withythe new amendment should
remain as they are,

Principle opposition of the ya-
rious correction department or-
ganizations was that an exper-
fence requirement of three yea:
is necessary for the correction of-
ficer to become expert in handling
criminals. Vincent J. Kane, pr
dent of the Uniformed Firemen's
Association, and Charles Mona-
han, treasurer of the Patrolmen's
Benevolent Association, wanted to
know if the amendment would af-
fect promotion requirements in
the Fire and Police departments.

Commissioner Morton informed
them that he did not think it ap-
plied to them, He stated that “it
was not the intention of the Com-
mission to have this amendment
apply to them,

In favor of the proposed amend-
ment to widen promotion oppor=
tunities was the State, County,
and Municipal Workers of Amer-

ica, Paul Ziporkis, speaking for
the union, pointed out that eli-
gibility requirements for admit-
tance to the junior administrative
assistant examination, a $3,000 per
year job, were only six months,
He said that employees in the
clerical service were deprived of
promotion opportunities because
of the present rules.

Michael Klein, president of the
Commission’s local of the S.C.M,
W.A,, stated that authorities on
personnel procedure throughout
the country agreed that the pro-
motion base should be as broad as
possible,

Old and Young in Contrast

In decided contrast on the
merits of the proposed amend-
ment were individual clerks with
many years' employment in the
city service and those who were
recently appointed. The other
clerks were opposed to changing
the requirements for admittance
to promotion tests, while the
younger ones vigorously supported
the change, The older clerks
feared that an advantage would
be given the younger employees
in a written examination because

of his more recent education.
The younger ones insisted that
the jaw, granting record and

seniority a weight of 50 percent
in the final average on all promo-
tion tests, counter-acted this ad-
vantage,

Among the older clerks who op-
posed the change were Harry
Bass and George Torre of the De-
partment of Sanitation. Some of
the younger clerks favoring the
amendment included Ben ,Alpert
and Harry Kaplan of the Civil
Service Commission, and Sam 8.
Silverberg of the Law Depart-
ment.

Unanimous on Use of Lists

Unanimous in disapproving the
proposed amendment to paragraph
6, section 7, rule 5, which would
permit the Civil Service Commis-
sion to use Federal and State eli-
gible lists were the following or-
ganizations: The Uniformed Fire-
men's Association; State, County,
and Municipal Workers of Amer-
ica; Civil Service Forum; ‘Trans-
port Workers’ Union; Patrolmen’s
Benevolent Association; the Cor-
rection Association; Association of
Competitive Employees, Depart-
ment of Sanitation; the Captains’

Association, Department of Cor-
rection; Captains’ Association,
Fire Department;’ Lieutenants’
Association, Fire Department;

Bill Would Permit
Use of State Lists
By New York City

Interesitng in view of the
hearings on the question;
“Should State and U. S. lists
be used by New York City?”
is a bill introduced in the
State Legislature last week
by State Senator Seymour
Halpern, Queens Republican,
chairman of the Senate Civil
Service Committee, Senator
Halpern's bill authorized mu-
nicipal civil service commis-
sions, city or county, where
there is no eligible list of its
own available, to request that
the State Civil Service Com-
mission furnish them with
the names of persons on ap-
propriate State eligible lists,
This would apply only to resi-
dents of the city, county, or
civil division in which the ap-
pointment is to be made.

The municipal commission
may then certify such names
for appointment to a position
in the same way that it would
certify them from their own
Civil Service list.

Chief, Offic:
Department.
Many Reasons

Reasons given tor the
State and Federal lists are the
great difference in the type of
examinations, the fact that ninety
percent of Federal examinations
are not written tests but are of
the “unassembled” type, the di
ference in the credit given vet-
erans and disabled veterans, the
fact that city vacancies should be
filled by promotion wherever pos-
sible and the possibility of the
change being unconstitutional,

Suggests Rectprocity

Visibly impressed by the com-
plete accord of the speakers and
the lack of comments in favor of
the amendment, President Marsh
pointed out that there were cer-
tain aspects which might appear
favorable, Among these was the
economy in holding a single test
for idenvical titles in both serv>

Meet Mrs. Esther Bromley

Her desk was already piled high
with®papers, less than a week
after she had taken over at 299
Broadway.

She picked up one, smiled wan-
ly. “These words—they ought
to be much easier for people.”
The paper carried a list of names,
‘At the top of the sheet were the
words “competitive provisional
employees.” “Bounds like a con-
tradiction, doesn’t it? You'd think
that an employee is either com-
petiive or provisional,”

Mrs, Esther Bromley would like
to see a simplification of words,
of civil service procedure gener-

ally, She wasn't saying, because
she was interested first ‘in learn-
ing my way around the Commis-
sion,” but it seems that the new
Commissioner may use her influ-
ence to simplify things generally.
‘ ‘he new Commissioner spent
rst week going from bureau

her

to bureau, watching how they op-
erate, asking questions,
Mrs. Bromley is pleasant and

with the fare issue, It seems to
me that the city ought to get
much-needed money from State or
emergency relief taxes or other
surpluses,”

Paul Windels, head of the Com-
mittee of Fifteen, proposed an in-
creased fare as far back as Janu-
ary 11 and made pointed refer-
ence to the city budget, which is
to go into operation July 1 of this
year, The Committee mentioned

that an increased fare would help
balance the budget.

Outlook Is Gloomy

Mr. Dayton painted the
financial picture
brush,

“The most drastic curtailment
of city services which has ever
confronted it now faces the city
unless the Legislature steps in
with some help," he said. ‘Man-
datory increases steeped by the

city’s
with a gloon

unassuming toward her interview-
er, She won’t give opinions on
matters of which her knowledge
is meager; and she's not interes.
ed in glorifying her duties. Of her
self, she gives snatches of per-
sonal history, She used to sing
in a choir, and this was an
important event to her. She must
have been good, because she won
a scholarship to study in Rome,
+.» But never went,

She's interested in welfare work
and has done lots of it with the
Girl Scouts, with the Board of
Child Welfare, with the British
War Relief. , . . She ministered
to the poor people in Red Hook,
through the Little Italy Neigh-
borhood Association, .. , She has
been with the Red Cross, has
spent 60 hours in a ward as a
nurse's aid,

Her appointment came to her
as a complete surprise, Political-
ly, she's a Republican, but inde-
pendent. Her colleagues are Dem-
ocrats, but they, too, are classed

as independent, Mrs, Bromley
thinks that is the best tag for a
civil service commissioner,

Legislature on the city account
for approximately $30,000,000. in
the coming budget.'’ The budget
director warned that these in-
creases would have to be met by
further economies within a con-
stantly contracting operating
budget

But Mr, Dayton refused to say
the lesser paid city employees
would have to be on the “giving

end’ again,

Exodus From
Sanitation

‘The city is witnessing the great
est excdus and influx of trans-
fers from department to depart-
ment that has happened in many
a day. As budget troubles make
things tough for the departments,
they are beginning to lend one
other employees, and even to send
some along ‘‘together with their
budget lines," which means that
not only does the employee shift
to another department but his
salary goes out of the budget of
his original department and into
the budget of the new one,

One department that as been
hard hit is Sanitation, Twenty-
three men have gone from Sanita-

tion to other agencies. Here they

Anyway That’s What

Do the better qualified indi-
viduals compete for civil service
jobs?

tionally has been answered nega~
tively by the public, Civil ser-
vice employees haye fore somo
reason or other been classified as
marginal workers, folks who
have not beer efficient enough to
obtain jobs in private industry.

qualified compete for pub-
lie jobs?" in a special survey
they have made of the fitness of
those workers who apply for gov-
ernment positions, appearing in
“Public Personnel Quarterly,"

Within the I{mitations of their
study (the authors admit the re-
search facilities of Civil Service
Commissions are too limited to
provide them with complete data),
Mr. Lorge and Mr. Blau contend
that those who take civil service
examinations are superior in men-
tal ability and education to those
who do not customarily take such
tests.

It You Take Tests, You're Smart

"The fact is, they hold, that rec-
ords made of a large sample
group of individuals over a long
stretch of years prove that habit
ual takers of civil service exams
—us measured by standardized ob-
jective tests—are a mentally supe-
rior group, Indeed, as the years

hael B, Sonn

pass by, the difference in mean
raw scores between takers and
non-takers has widened, causing
the authors to infer that tests
have kept the takers in a keenee
state of mind

“What is the meantng of this

widening gap between those who
have taken civil service examina-
tions and those who have not?’
the authors ask, then answering:

“The larger difference of the la~
ter test scores are reflections of
additional interest in education,

and of additional training."’

Strengthen N. Y.

Supermen, prime publicists

civil service, have a new Ides
they'd like to contribute to the
war effort by making New York-
evs strong. They've written the
Mayor that they're willing to give
their time if the city will only
provide headquarters in the form
of the 77 sanitation districts
throughout the city. The sanita-
tion eligibles propose to take over
these sections every night. They
say they could be of much use to
the city because they could co-
operate with the Fire Department,
be on hand in case of any emerg-
ency anywhere in the city, and
they'd be willing to do it even on
a 24-hour-a-day basis if they could,

‘They have worked out @ com-
plete set of exercises for building
up the biceps and killing the
brinks.

‘To discuss all these plans, there
will be @ mass meeting of the
supermen on Thursday, Mareh 27,
at P, S. 27.

CHANGES

Subway Men Get
Titles They Wanted

Reclassification of 371 subway
employees from maintainer's help-
er to maintainer will be made a!
a result of a decision last week
by the Municipal Civil Service
Commission.

‘The employees originally cl
fied as maintainers when they
were taken into the city service
had been placed in the category
of maintainer's helpers upon re-
quest of the Board of Transporta~
tion, Dissatisfied with their low-
er title, the employees were given
a public hearing on December 8 in
the offices of the Civil Service
Commission, Although 300 em-
ployees and representatives of
the Transport Workers Union ap-
peared at the hearing, officials of
the Board of Transportation were
not present,

The Commission was unable to
render a decision on the case un-
til the Board of Transportation
told its side of the story. Last
week Chairman Delaney of the
Board of Transportation wrote to
the Commission stating the oppo-
sition to reclassifying the 371 em-
ployees to the title of maintainer
was now withdrawn,

POLICE CALLS

By MIKE SULLIVAN

Referendum
On Pay Raise

ence of the State of New York
First news of the police, fire pay-
raise bills were published in The
LEADER, two weeks ago.

‘A bill calling for 15 per cent in. Honor Legion

policemen and firemen, upon ap-
proval of the voters, was intro-
duced into the State Assembly

ert J, Crews, Brooklyn Republi-

troduced on February 18 by As-
semblyman Crews (Int. 1178),

increase was referred to the com-
mittee on New York City affairs,
of which Assemblyman Crews is
chairman, It would go into efiect
July 1, 1943. The base for deter-
mining the 15 percent increase in
pay would be the amount of sal-
aries paid each rank on July 1,
1941,

Meanwhile State Senator Ed-
ward J, Coughlin, Brooklyn Demo-,
erat, intyoduced a companion bill’
to assembly introductory 1178,
Crew's first bill, calling for pay

CIVIL SERVICE IN NEW YORK STATE

NEW BILLS

Work Insurance
Bill Seems Doomed

ALBANY—One of the major
pieces of civil service legislation
introduced this year but which
probably will die for want of
united support of all employee or-
izations, is the Ehrlich meas-
ure to provide unemployment in-
for ate employees
wn out of their jobs.

Although of many
State agencies and the creation of

expansion

new services has tended to in-
crease Suite personnel and job
opportunities in the last few years,
the theory that all positions are
permanent and that tenure is se-
cure has been disproved by the
action of the Legislature. Many
Positions have been abolished by
budget cuts and many others
have been eliminated through con-

solidation of bureaus or services,

‘The bill is in most respects sim-
ilar to the present unemployment
insurance law—extending to State

employees the same coverage and

efits, Seasonal and tempor
ary employees would not be cov-
ered—as they are not now cov
eved in the unemployment insur-
ance law, The Bhrlich bill would
cover all ate workers of one
year of service or more.

Hospital Employees Stand to Lose Bonus
As Legislature Scuttles Lehman’s Plan

ALBANY .—Unless Governor Leh-
man is able to persuade the Re-
publican - controlled Legislature
otherwise, some 20,000 institution-
al employees will not get the $72
salary bonus he promised them for
July 1 of this year.

The Governor's budget, as re-
vised by the Legislature, is sched-
uled to pass this week, accom-
panied by a bill to give all State
employees getting $2,000 or less a
ear a cost-of-living- increase.
hat’s hard to explain and will
be harder to get.

The GOP proposal provides for
a 10 percent increase up to $1,200
and five percent additional on sal-
ies from $1,200 to $2,000. These
centages would be doubled if

pe
and when the cost of living in-

creases 10 percent, The Division
of Commerce would calculate liv-
ing cost figures with December 7,

1941, the Pearl Harbor date, as
basic.

Regarded As Gesture
This pay bonus plan, which

would be on top of regular Feld-
Hamilton increments, is widely re-
garded here as more or less of a
gesture, since three months would

have to elapse, for budget adjust-
ments, after the occasion for an
increase was set, before it actual-

ly would take effect.
The

Republicans figure their
’ pay increase would cost
To get this they threw
ernor’s bonus plan for in-
stitution employees, which would
have cost $1,400,000, into the ash-

can: substitute their over-all pay
rise proposal, and add $200,000
more to foot the bill, Now it

looks like nobody will get a pay
rise, bonus, or anything else~at
least this year, if ever.
Prison Guard Jobs Threatened
Other items of interest to State
workers in the GOP fiscal plan
are: elimination of about half the
number of State chauffeurs; elimi-
nation of jobs aggregating $255,000
in the Motor Financial Responsi-
bility Bureau; elimination of
$495,600 for guards and prison ad-
ministration personnel
Green Haven. The item includes
$55,000 to build officers’ cottages.
The prison, thus, will not be
opened this year and may not be
opened next.
Criticism

Criticism of the Republican plan
Providing ‘‘cost of living" wage
increases for all State employees
getting up to $38 a week appeared
among employees themselves late

last week.

For one thing, the pay-boost
bill recommended by the GOP
members of the Legislature in
their ‘Tuesday caucuses, does not
include hundreds of employees of
the Legislature. The measure is

limited to State employecs in the
competitive and non-competitive
civil service,

Another objection

Governor Lehman had recom-
mended that these people be given
a $72 increase, on July 1, to tide
them over until they are placed

But are the GOP proposals really a gold brick?
The bill contains a clause which calls for its automatic repeal if
a ceiling on prices should exist for a 3-month period.

The bill says specifically

legislative plank in the program
of the organized civil service em-

this with the Go nor and his
Budget Director was reached only
after long studies and negotiations
with them.
Workers May Oppose New Plan
In throwing out the immediate
cash increase for the institutional
employees and substituting instead
a general cost of living pay boost
for all employees getting $2,000 a
year or under, the Republicans
may find their proposal opposed
by the State workers themselves.
In the first place, according to

representatives of the employee
groups, the State institution em-
ployees should be taken care of
first, because of their recognized
plight.

In the second place, the repre-

Budget Slash
Brings Job Slash

New Motor Bureau
Is Badly Hit

ALBANY—Tnhe slash of $255,000
in the lump sum appropriation for
the new Motor Financial Respon-
sibility Division in the Motor
Vehicle Bureau will mean [oss of
jobs for a lot of people, Motor
Commissioner Carroll E. Mealey
said this week,

The Legislature, he said, had
cut about one-fourth out of the
expected appropriation and that
means a corresponding cut in per-
sonnel and maintenance of the
division.

With the passage of the Ander-
son bill providing that auto acci-
dent reports need not be filed un-
less the accident results in at least
$25 damage to one vehicle (except
where personal injury is involved),
the work of the division will be
cut measurably. About 3,000 re-
ports a day are being filed now,
Commissioner Mealey said, since
all accidents, no matter how trif-
ling, are reportable.

With a reduced number of re-
ports coming in the clerical staff
probably will be’ cut first. But
Mealey said there would be many
victims among the 20 adjudicators,
who get $3,600 a year and up, and
among the 51 evaluators who get
from $2,100 a year up. No Repub-

licans will suffer because there
ave none—which fact really star

LISTS

Prison Guard Boys
Seek U. S. Jobs

Eligibles of the State prison
guard list, elated by their success
in being certified to the federal
positions of custom guard, went
ahead last week with plans to
convince U. 8, officials that they
should be utilized for other guard
jobs. Along with this went a
resolution to bring themselves tc
the attention of private concerns
engaged in defense industry.
These concerns, say the eligibles
will need guards in ever greater
numbers; and there is no list bet-
ter suited for the position than
than we, said Joseph Lehmann,
one of the officials of the Prison
Guard Eligibles Association,

To prepare for their duties in
advance, the prison guard boys
are starting a pistol club. Ii
meets for the first time Wednes
day evening, March 11, at the
New York School of Firearms.
All eligibles on the list are in-
vited to attend.

Civil Service Arithmetic

PART III: REVIEW PROBLEMS
The Fourteenth 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.

Last week's article dealt with percentage problems ‘in civil service
arithmetic questions, Unfortunately, through typographical errors,
several misrepresentations of the percentage’ formulas were printed,
May we apologize for this error and present the necessary corrections.

Percentage Formulas should read as follows:

I. Base times Rate equals Percentage,
IL, Rate equals Percentage divided by Base.
TIL, Base equals Percentage divided by Rate.
Note: The article as printed last week substituted the word minus
for the words divided by in the above formulas,
Discount Formulas:
I. Price times Rate of Discount equals Discount.
If, Rate equals Discount divided by Price,
IIL. Price equals Discount divided by Rate.
Interest Formulas:
I. Price times Rate equals Interest.
II. Principat equals Interest divided by Rate.
III, Rate equals Interest divided by Principal.
IV. Principal times Rate times Time equals Interest.
V. Principal equals Interest divided by the product of Rate
times Time.
Time equals Interest divided by the product of Principal
times Rate.

NEW BILLS

If You Enter
The War Machine

ALBANY — Albany is prepar-
ing changes of vast importance
to the future status of persons in
the competitive civil service, mu-
nicipal or State, whe enter the
Federal war-time machinery in
some civilian capacity,

One of these, by direction of
Governor Lehman, tightens re-
quirements by which leaves of ab-
sence may be obtained for such
purposes, but also provides for
virtually unlimited absence with-
out loss of civil service rights.

Another will clear the way for
reserving all retirement rights of
absent employees, but on the ba-
sis that they must continue not
only their own contributions but
those of the State as well, Mr.
Lehman is reported
against any proposal by which the
State would continue its pension
fund contributions on behalf of
any absent employee.

There is in effect now a law
which expires June 30, a stop-gap
measure, under which the State
has been paying contributions of
employees called into Federal
service. This act will not be re-
newed.

The Governor is represented
holding that when State or mu-
nicipal civil service employees,
members of the retirement sy
tem, leave to enter some civilian
war-time pursuit, either for the
government or a private employer,
they probably will be paid as
much or more than what had been
their civil compensation, Under
such circumstances he feels that
they should be willing to pay the
entire cost of their pension as-
sessments. This bill is slated to
go through without a hitch,

It ties in with an order from
the Governor to the Civil Service
Commission, under which the
Commission revised its rules to
permit leaves of absence, termin-
ating six months after the end
of the war, without the necessity
of complying with the previous re-
quirement of returning for a min-
imum of one payroll period. Cath-
erine B, Shanahan, senior munici-
pal research assistant for the
State, has sent copies of the Goy-
ernor's order and the Commis-
sion's action to the’ Mayor and
municipal commission of every
city in the State, She has urged

Policy,

In his letter to Miss Grace Ay

clared that leaves of absence

“If it has been demonstrated
that the work to be undertaken

essary for the department head to

covered by the leaves of absence.’

Aircraft

Aircraft plants in and around
New York and in New Jersey ex-
pect to hire many thousands of

cuts which might affect the qual-
ity of work.

‘The shops which have army and
navy contracts with high priority
ratings are going full blast, while
those having no defense contracts,
such as the electric sign industry,
are definitely threatened with
shutdowns.

In the shops I have reference to,
the union controls the referral of
workers to shops, and algo the se-
lection of apprentices.

Busy at drafting, these students are engaged in the same sort of
work offered to winners of The LEADER'S prize scholarship

essay contest.

and interesting

Drafting is one of the appealing fields of defense
ing so many young men today. The work is pleasant
s well as a valuable aid in the national defense

program,

The main classifications of jobs heral prospect for this industry

are as follow
Sheet Metal Workers
Assemblers
Riveters:
Welders
Drill Press Operators
Turret Lathe Operators
Milling Machine Hands
Tool Makers

In certain localities, training is
provided by the local vocational
high schools for given manufac
turers, and as soon ag a pupil has
reached a certain degree of skill,
he is absorbed by the plant for
which he has been trained. Na-
turally, there are here and there
some bottlenecks which prevent
hiring the trainee immediately
after he has reached the grade,
but normally this is the pro-
cedure,

Furthermore, a great number of
private schools are training. air
craft workers, primarily aiyeraft

jority of these classes are day and
night full-time classes for 13
weeks and more.

In an article by Sherman B, Al-
tick, reference was made to the
President's demand that 60,000
planes be delivered this year by
American plane manufacturers,
It was stated that the enlisted
personnel of the Army Air Force
would probably have to be in-
creased to 360,000 during the next
eleven months, Right there are a
great number of jobs waiting for

The Chemical
Industry

According to reports from the
field, the chemical industry has
plenty of work, particularly the
manufacturers of

Pharmaceuticals

Dyes

General Chemicals

and Explosives
"Manufacturers of cosmetics as
well as manufactur‘ of paint
and varnishes both suffer from
lack of raw materials.

In the metropolitan area, most
chemical fivms have increased
their staffs during the last twelve
months, In general, however,
these increases have not exceeded
10 percent in personnel although
output has increased many times
that amount, ‘This is due primar-
ily to the nature of chemical
manufacture, Equipment is the
primary requirement for increased
production and labor only secon-
dary, In other words, chemical
plants may step up their produc-
tion 40 percent but may hire only
10 to 15 percent additional people.
‘There are shortages of qualified
chemists and chemical engineers
as well as trained laboratory as-
sistants,

In certain New Jersey chemical
plants, there seems to be even
some shortage of unskilled labor
which might be difficult to over-
come because of existing housing
conditions.

The chemical industry on the
whole offers good opportunities
for technical personnel as well as
highly skilled maintenance me-
chanics, .e., pipe fitters, ete. But
most of the work in chemical
plants is of an unskilled and semi-
skilled nature,

Jobless Insurance
For Civil Employees

— E learn, from our Albany correspondent, that

\ is up in Albany.

This is the bill, introduced by Assemblyman Ehrlich,
which would provide the equivalent of. unemployment

an important piece of civil service legislation

insurance to State employees who lose their jobs,
Such legislation is needed by government employees as
much as by workers in private industry—who have this
security. The bill was worked out with competent au-
thorities, and is carefully drawn,

Nearly 400 jobs in the Public
Works Department, some of them occupied by men of
10 and 15 years
executive budget this year and probably will be elim-
inated when the budget bill is finally passed. These
men, loyal public servants, lose their positions without
the benefit of any protection.

The bill doesn’t call for a payroll assessment like
the unemployment insurance law for private employees.
The State would pay into the Unemployment Insurance
Fund whatever sum is needed — and it is estimated
the amount would be small for the security provided.

State civil service employees, in their own interest,
should get behind the Ehrlich bill and push,

Example of the need:

service, have been bracketed out of the

Merit System Going?
W AR brings changes. Civil service is no excep-

tion, Within recent weeks, the Federal civil

service system has undergone changes of vast
import. Every Federal employee is likely to be affected.
Every eligible is affected. The methods of recruiting
and examining mean that every prospective U. S. em-
ployee is affected.

There has been grumbling in some quarters that the
current changes herald a breakdown of the merit sys-
tem. Many readers have asked us our opinion,

Frankly, we don't think the merit system will
crumble, When a war is being fought, it is just as neces-
sary to cut through red tape in government employment
as in private industry. We have an enemy to beat—one
who won't wait until all the meticulous regulations are
observed before an employee is taken on, The govern-
ment needs men and women to do its war work. The
government is going about getting these men and women
in the most straightforward manner. That is the mean-
ing of the President's recent order simplifying ¢ v1
service procedure.

Better to simplify civil service now, than have to
dump it overboard later because it hasn't worked in an
emergency, The LEADER will fight any attempt, how
ever, to undermine the merit principle.

The merit system emerged strenger after World Wer
I. We anticipate the same result this time.

Meanwhile, we'll try to keep you informed of these

THOMAS W. HOLLAND has
one consuming ambition: to see
that civil service maintains a
system as downright efficient as
anything in private industry.’

Mr. Holland, you may srecall,
was acting administrator of the
Wage-Hour Division of the U. 8.
Department of Labor until the
other day, when President Roose-
velt named L, Metcalfe Walling
to the post. He’s back now as Di-
rector of Research and Statistics,

Gracious, charming, premature-
ly gray, Mr, Holland was sitting
there looking out the window of
1560 Broadway, new home of the
division, gazing at Times Square
—the “heart"’ of the world,

“I've been in Government ser-
vice and in private industry, 1
ought to know. I prefer working
in civil service. Its security,
stability and opportunity] for pro-
motion make it really appealing.”

He's Friendly

A soft-spoken, understanding
sort of fellow, the kind of gentle-
man whom you can interrupt
without making him feel peeved
about it, Thomas W. Holland has
a right to believe ao firmly in his

way of life, Twice he turned down
jobs in private industry paying
more money just because he was
more interested in ‘‘seeing that a
good job’? was done while he was
part of the last surviving element
of the NRA,
First on List

It was after this that he went
to Washington as special attorney
for the National Labor Relations
Board, then to the U. S. Depart-
ment of Labor in 1936 to handle
NRA matters in the department,
When NRA perished, he became
chairman of the Labor Depart-
ment's Contract Division's boar
Then he took a civil service ex-
amination as principal economist
and was first on the list. ‘Rather
unprecedented in my specialized
ficld,”” he says, In 1940, this net.
ted him the job of director of 1
search and statistics in the Wage-
Hour division, with an automatic
upgrade promotion even before he
had started. Last December Pres.
ident Roosevelt placed him in the
administrator's seat when Brig,
Gen. Philip B. Fleming was
shifted.

Born in Woodville, Mich, near
Grand Rapids (population 50),
Thomas W. Holland is a country
hoy of Irish heritage and got his
first learning in a backwoods
schoolhouse, He didn’t have the
faintest idea at the time he in-
tended to specialize in economics.
“Technical stuff,’ Mr, Holland
calls it,

He didn’t dream, either, that he
would get a law degree in Colum-
bia University Law School and a
doctor's degree in economics in
the U, of Wisconsin, Nor that he
would be an assistant professor of
economics in the U, of North Car-
olina,

“I'm a family man,” he said,
“T like to play with the children
—the family's in Florida until we
can get settled here—and they
give me most of my exercise . . .
and what I don’t get that way, I
get in horseback riding.’

Five-ten, blue-eyed, 175 pounds
in weight, Mr. Holland wag a sec-
ond lieutenant in the Coast Artil-
lery during the latter portion of
the First World War, but never
went across to Europe. The war
ended too soon, Now he’s seeking

QUESTION

PLEASE

Firemen Get

Conductor Jobs

GJ.F.: Only those eligibles on
the fireman list who are over 21
years of age were certified by the
Civil Service Commission to the
Board of Transportation for ap-
propriate positions as conductors,
If you are over 21 years of age
and have not passed your medical
examination conditionally, and
have not declined previous offers
ot appointment, you should be cer-
tified to every appropriate posi-
tion in the order of your standing
on the list. Bring your notice of
rating to the Certification Bureau
of the Commission on the 6th
floor of 299 Broadway to find out
your exact status on the list.

If you accept a position as a
conductor, your name will be re-
moved from the fireman list for
a period of one year.

Deferment

H.C.: There is no provision for
the automatic deferment from
military service of any civil serv-
ice employee in any department
of the city, State, or Federal Gov-
ernment. Such occupational de-
ferment is left to the discretion
of the local draft board,

When Position
Is Abolished

M.K.P.: A city employee whose
position is abolished while he is
on a leave of absence is entitled
to be placed on a preferred list.
Certification and appointment to
any vacancy in the title in any
city department must be made
from the preferred list before an
appointment can be made from
any | open-eompetitive list,

No Refund

AM.: The Civil Service Com-
mission will not refund your filing
fee if you were unable to appear
for the qualifying lit
on the assistant gardner exumuina-
tion because of illness, If the
Commission should schedule an-
other qualifying literacy test for
assistant gardner candidates, it
will notify you,

Special Tests

J.B.: Drafted conductor cindi-
dates aren't entitled to a special
military examination upon their
return to civilian life, as the Civil
Service Commission was com-
pelled to revoke its military rules
calling for these special examina-
tions, because of theewar. How-
ever, it is not the intention of the
Commission to deprive any candi-
date of an opportunity to take an
examination. Even though you
are not automatically entitled to
@ special examination, write to
the Commission upon your return
to civilian life, Perhaps future
arrangements may be made to as-
sist you,

Temporary
Appointment

P.S.: If you are on a perma-
nent preferred list for assistant
gardner, you can decline the of-
fer of a temporary appointment
and still remain on the permanent
preferred list.

The granting of a leave of ab-
sence from the post office is en-
tively up to the discretion of your
superiors in the Post Office. We
doubt very much if they would

WASHINGTON AGENCIES

Welcome to New York

A SURVEY OF REASONS FOR MAKING NEW YORK THE SECOND CAPITAL

Why ShouldaU.S.Employee WanttoCometoN. Y.C.?

T WASHINGTON’S decentralized employees |

who ask “Why New York?” the answer has al-
ready been given by those Federal employees who
have already come to New York.

These employees say they like

w York be-

cause the city offers them three important values:

1, A stabilized life.
2. A secure life,
3. A full life.

‘The Washington employee com-
ing to New York finds immedi-
ately that he can become a part
of the community, When he
moves into his Manhattan, Brook-
lyn or Bronx apartment, or into
his little house in Queens, he is
beginning to create for himself a
home with all the traditional sub-
stance of that word. He need no
longer fear—as he had to in

Washington—the mushrooming of
Government buildings over him;
he need no longer fear that he
will become the victim of a hous-
ing shortage—for New York can
comfortably absorb thousands like
him and hardly feel it; and for
his rent, less than he paid in
Washington, he will obtain good
value, good service watched over
vigilantly by a housing-conscious
city administration,

In New York, the Federal em-
ployee has churches of every
creed, and he need never worry,

They’veComefromD.C.;
Here’s What They Think

“Sure, New York’s got it all
over Washington, We can get
a bed here!

Thus, the reaction of pretty, di-
minuitive Jean Carlson, the miss
from Scottdale, Pa., one of the
stenographers in the Wage Hour
division of the United States De-
partment of Labor. With several
hundred other employees, Jean
has just eome from Washington
to work in the new Fedenal bu-
yeau at 1560 Broadway, plumb in
the enter of the bright-light
district, ~

What are the first reactions of
this group of out-of-towners who
sud-

have been transferred here
denly—pushed out of the nation’
capital because Washington is
bursting at its war seams?

The general impression is:
reat place to be, New York."
To return to Miss Carlson:

“In Washington we had all we
c do to get somewhere to
‘The rent is raised on you
and then you have to go scurry-
ing around for another place. But
there are so many people coming
into town that you can’t even find
& place to rest your head at night.
I wasn't in New York ten minutes
before I located a spot.’

Miss Carlson, just as a number
of other Wage-Hour employees
Tresh in town, has been to the big
city before . . . week-end vacation
stuff,

“Now I'l really get to see the
place," she beamed. ‘And I want
to tell you something: the traffic
nd food are so much better in
New York I'll bet the people we
left in Washington won't believe
it. The only trouble, as I see it,
is that I'm two or three hours
farther away from my home now
than I was in Washington.’*

No Kieks Coming

Joseph Cvitkovich, a filing clerk,
of Hast Chicago, Ind., chirped up:
I haven't a kick in the world,
If the draft will only stay away
for a little while, I'm going to
have the time of my life. The first
thing I'm doing is to go out to one
of those automats, I brought
Plenty of nickels from Washin;:-
ton, “And I'm gonna take in as
many. sights as I can in the first
few weeks, It'lf be fun, all right,
Working in a wideawake town.”
Arthur Rice, another filing
clerk, of Arlington, Vaj,' was go-

ing to ‘take in as many shows as
I can right off the bat. I've been
waiting for this opportunity.””
They're Delighted
Mrs. Sarah Laufer, of Leaven-
worth, Kan,, and Miss Nadine
Petherbridge, of Flint, Mich,
typists, were delighted with the
“reasonable rents” and variety
of eateries." They weren't sure
just how mueh they were going
to like “working in this big, bust-
ling city,”” but they were confident
“everything would be at least as
good as in Washington.’*

Clinton Lasher, a clerk, of
Kingston, N, ¥., actually was
nearer his home. “But I don’t

think I'll commute much," said
he. ‘After all, I’m still some dis-
tance away, though it's good to

y I'm getting nearer to the
Clinton thought the six
floors weren't roomy enough for
the division. “Look at the way
things are crowding up already,”
he pointed out, “Before long,
we'll think we're in Washington."*

What do the employees feel
about working in the midst of the
theatrical district, of all places?
Frankly, they love it.

HOUSING FOR
THE U. $. WORKER

The U. 8. Office of Decentrali-
zation Service, which has a ground
floor office at 33 East 47th Street,
off Madison Avenue, Manhattan,
doesn't concern Federal workers
coming to town but it is a
beacon light of information
for those Washington employees
settling in New York and the met-
ropolitan area.

It not only informs Federal
employees of available housing in
the metropolitan area and the per-
centage of vacancies, it actu-
ally directs these individuals to
reputable real estate brokers who
pick up from there and show
them all of what this area has to
offer in the way of housing and
facilities.

Here's Friendliness

And there's**more than | that,»

Brokers, at the request of the»De-

as perhaps he did in Washington,
about the possible lack of places
where one may worship.

In New York, the Federal em-
ployee can stabilize his life by
working in terms of his future,
for this is a city .. . constantly
changing . . , which nevertheless
is solid, and will not overwhelm
him—ever—with the bitterness of
boom-town collapse.

For a Future

In New York, the Federal em-
ployee can become a New Yorker
—not, as-in Washington, a resi-
dent of some other part of the
country temporarily employed at
Government work.

Yes, New York ts a city in
which to grow, to build a stable
life.

: . . And a secure one.
York's index of crime is sur
ingly low among the big cities
of the country, Safety is estab-
lished by the nation’s best police

force, by a community which en-
deavors in Many ways to remove
the sources of dang
dent rate in New York,
tmarkably low, The chan
beimg hurt by an automobil:
much lower in the nation's metro-
polis than in many a small town,

On the positive side, New York
offers to the Federal employee
health services, hospitalization,
medical care unsurpassed in all
the world. The best doctors are
here, and the latest research in
medicine is applied in the bright,
pleasant, hospitals which dot the
city. The city’s health is good; it
will continue that way. And this
is a facet of the secure life.

Salary Goes Farther

Security means other things, too.
It means Making salary go a
longer way. The $1,440 salary in
New York is not the same as the
$1,440 salary in Washington, It is

too, is New York. Gotham's magnificent spires and sump-

tuous dwellings have this for contrast in the most interesting

city in the world, All of which just goes to show you why you

never can get bored 4n NYC—the town's always got something

you didn't expect and always something new for something
you did expect.

centralization Service, actually jn-
troduce the Washington neweom-
ers into the community life they
have selected, make sure that
they're called upon to participate
actively in community life and,
in general, infuse them into the
bloodstream of things if only for
the reason they may feel at home.
“These transferred Federal
workers are going to like their
new home, if we can help it,”
smiles Charles T, Upjohn, man-
ager of the Office of Decentrali-
zation Service, who has 18 years
of New York real estate experi-
ence behind him to qualify him
for his job, and who is assisted
by Robert G. Morgan, whose ex-
perience goes back just as far,
Most of the single employees,
according to Mr. Upjohn, are !o-

cating right here in Manhattan—

in hotels and rooming houses.
Many are using these quarters
temporarily while looking for
something more in the nature of
a home, Families are locating in
the suburbs. Others ‘expect and

hope to bring their families in,
and will then make changes.

Mr, Upjohn's office tries to fit
the needs of the Federal workers
into localities in the metropolitan
area, and this iXits primary con-
cern, "

“We don't reeommend anything
in Manhattan to a woman who
says she must have a plot of grass
for junior,” Mr, Upjohn points
out. ‘We send her to a real es-
tate broker who will be glad to
show her something way back in
Queens.”

To get down to what New York
as a city really offers Federal

workers, here is an accurate idea:

Several years ago the bureau moved about 4,500 of its employees
to Baltimore “temporarily” until a new building could be constructed
in Washington, The building w: cted alright, but just in
time for the Army and the new war ag s to take it over. The em-
ployees- 4,700 of them now—are still in Baltimore,

Last Dec the 1,800 employees of the bureau's central office
were ord out of Washington to Philadelphia, Adequate quarters
couldn't be found in Philadelphia, A dozen dickers for space in Bal-
timore have fallen through and besides Baltimore housing facilities
aren't plentiful. It’s now a possibility that the entire bureau will be
ed together in a third city such as New York,

There have also been reports that some other housing agency, pos-
sibly some of Federal Housing, would be sent to New York City.

New York City is certain to get one more of the new batch of
agencies that will be next on the decentralization list.

Incidentally, the State quota system is still supposed to apply to
jobs in the decentralized agencies, However, the Civil Service Com-
mission will draw most of the people for low-paid jobs, up to $1,800,
from the cities in which they are located,

The salaries of the decentralized employees will be at the same
rates and seales as they are in Washington. It will be possible for
the employees to arrange for transfers back to Washington,

Here’s the scoreboard on the decentralized agencies:

Ruial ctrification will begin its move to St. Louis on Maren

Administration will move to Cincinnati in a month and 250 employees
of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration will go to Columbus in

National Park Service, and the Office of Indian Affairs—having 850
employees between them were scheduled for Chicago but it is doubt-
ful whether any of them will be sent to the Windy City, However,
each of the bureaus will move, but probably to cities nearer to Wash-
ington

The 1,600 employees of the Immigration and Naturalization Sery-

ember

ice will leave for Philadelphia this weekend. And the Securities and
Exchange Commission will also be moved to Philadelphia in ten days.
Securities Exchange Commission has 1,400 employees. It also was

originally ticketed for New York City but the story is that the Presi-
dent t ed the Wall Streeters would influence the commission if it
was sent to the Big City.
m Credit will go to Kansas City in six weeks. It has 1,800
employees. Railroad Retirement Board and its 1,600 employees will
definitely go to Chicago in a month and the Grazing Service has al-
ready been moved to Salt Lake City. The eastern regional office of
the Forest Service and a regional office of Farm Security Administra-
tion also were moved earlier to Philadelphia ‘

of Washington

pre-war year, (1938), over 9,000
vessels sailed into, and out of,
New York harbor, Guided by ex-
pienced tug pilots, through the
heavy, unceasing traffic of New
York Bay, this vast maritime
fleet brought into the country 50
percent of its imports, took away
85 percent of its exports.

125 Shipping Lines

In tall structures of granite and
steel overlooking the harbor are
the offices of the 125 shipping
lines which own these 9,000 ves-
sels and control the shipping of
other ports as well.

The livelihood of 500,000 Amer-
icans employed in cotton mills in
New England and the deep South,
from Maine to Texas, depends on
the business done in the cotton
capital of the nation, New York’
Worth Street. Just as the na-
tions finances are concentrated in
a few short blocks on Wall Street,
so is the country’s cotton and tex-
tile business concentrated in a

few short blocks on Worth Street. °

Annually, the sale of over eight
million square yards of goods are
directed from this less-publicized
street, about one mile up Broad-
way from Wall, Here, 90 percent
of the nation’s cotton and textile
firms have offices.

Commercial Center

Downtown again, nearer Wall,
is William Street and Maiden
Lane, the commercial insurance
center of the United States, Each
year, brokers and agents with of-
fices in the tall buildings lining
these narrow streets underwrite
over nine million dollars in fire
and marine insurance, over nine
hundred million dollars in casual-
ty insurance. Total assets of the

ing was pretty geneyal in Washington that someone wrote down the
agencies without proper study and the President approved the entire
plan, Political considerations also were suggested

‘That side of the picture—how the agencies are selected—isn't clear,
for it's a fact that the Budget Bureau didn't approve of the decen-

tralization plan in its entirety,

Now, however, the heads of agencies are called in by the Budget
Bureau and some sort of an agreement is worked out before agencies
are ordered out. Department heads are warned, in other words, and

the whole affair is more orderly.
But once the

How to Live on $1,440 a Year

It Can Be Done

Can Federal employees expect
to live in style in New York at
$1,440-a year? Or at $2,000?

Well, maybe not in high style.
But comfortably, anyhow” Pro-
viding, of course, you know how
to apportion your income, And
this goes for married as well as
single men and women.

In the firat place, living in New
York is not quite as costly as liv-
ing in Washington, Almost any
authority will tell you that. Such
items as food and transportation,
among other things, are more rea-
sonable,

Take the single individual with
an annual income of $1,440. What
can he or she get for $120 a
month in New York?

Well, the Savings Division of the
American Bankers Association
suggests the following distribution
of income: ~ $30 for rent (which
includes home or hotel and
garage, if any); $30 for food; $15
for operating and fuel, which in-
cludes such items of upkeep as
heat, light, telephone, water, ice,
Jaundry and cleaning bills, domes-
tic ‘help, transportation and car
expenses resulting from necessary
rather than from recreational use;
$13 for clothing; $12 for advance-

ment, or recreation, education,
church and charity, cigars and
cigarettes, candy, magazines,

newspapers, books and expenses
on your car, if any, resulting from
rereational use, and $20 for sav-

looking youngsters whose eyes have been caught by an attractive

ings. ‘The last item includes
payments on life irisurance and
any funds placed. in investment
securities.

If you'd like a more comfortable
apartment, you might re-distvibute
these figures to allow a $40 ren-
tal, cut down on one or more of
the other items, and still find
yourself doing all right. Finding
an apartment won't be a problem,
and the city itself will help you,
if you wish. If you haven't a
car, you can distribute the other
$10 a month accordingly.

Purchasing Clothes

There is a record-breaking num-
ber of shops where clothing may
be bought at unusually reasonable
prices. The fact is that a wise
young lady who gets around can
before long spot any number of
bargain centers where she can ob-
tain average merchandise and
clothing for much less than the
cost would be in Washington—
and in some sections of the metro-
politan area itself. (We could
name one clothing center for the
girls where this could be proved

Entertainment and Food

You must realize, of course, that
more money will doubtless be
spent on entertainment and cul-
ture here than in Washington, and
the temptation will probably be to
shorten up on the savings account.
But Gotham offer ny number of
places where satisfactory recrea-
tion may be had cheap, and that'll
help the budget, too, Food is go-
ing up all over, but New York is

ENTERTAINMENT,
SPORTS IN NYC

Ever hear out-of-towners say
of New York: “It's all right to
it, but not to live in”?

The reason? They're usually
dazzled and left exhausted by
the rounds of entertainment—
and, if they’re interested in
sports, they’re left all the wear-
ier. New York is one place that
will never be second in the en-
tertainment and sports field.
There is so much of it, in fact,
that native New Yorkers live
and die and never get to see
even half the amount offered. |

‘And much of the recreation and |
sports can be had at no cost, too.

Trying to be alphabetical about
it, there are the art galleries, such |
as Frederick Keppel and Boyer,
Manhattan; athletic facilities,
such as Madison Square Garden,
(all sorts of activity, especial
boxing, wrestling, bicycle races,
dog and horse shows); Ebbets

Birth Certificates
In time of war requests for

merous than usual. In 1940, a

New York's birth rate dropped

1930 to 10.2 in 1940.
Department of Hospitals

Directly under the control of
Commissioner William C, Rap-
peleye are the 27 city hospitals
with a daily bed capacity of 19,764
patients, Few cities in the U.S. can
boast of a population as large as
the amount of people treated each
year in New York’s publicly op-
erated hospitals, New York's
private hospitals are the best in
the world. Some of them are
world renowned, and amazing
magic of medical research goes
on in them, A

So skilled are the staffs of New
York City hospitals in the task
of curing disease that the death
rate for patients afflicted with
mortal maladies is constantly de-
creasing. More than half of the
beds in the city’s hospitals are
now occupied by persons with
chronic mental and physical dis-
orders, more than one-fourth of
the patients are over 45 years of
age.

Although there was a slight epi-
demic of scarlet fever~ in New
York last year, 4,287 cases being
admitted to hospitals, mortality
rate was confined to .1 percent,
a decrease from 1.08 per cent in
1930. Mortality rates in diphtheria
cases was 1.9 percent. "Ten years
ago it was 9.9 percent, In 1930.
the death rate of patients with
measles was 3.0; in 1940 it was

strain,

For the Federal employee, par-
ticularly for the Federal employes
who has been obsessed with tha
Washington-neurosis, New York jg
a place for expansion, for living
completely. What is it you want
to do?, Have fun? Go to the
movies after midnight? Listen to
& symphony—or  boogie-woogie?
Dance? See a play? Indulge your
hobby of stamp-collecting or pho-
tography or model-making? Go
to it? New York has all these
activities in vast abundance; they
cost little, and often nothing, to
indulge. There's no crowding, A
girl doesn’t have to, as so often
she must in Washington, go alone,
Here there is no shortage of men
—and no basis for the psychologi-
cal repercussions such a shortage
makes. And here there is no such
thing as boredom, For everyone,
there is an interest, And schools,
For children and for adults—every
type of course, every conceivable
subject—defense training or life
drawing, mechanics or radio
script writing—whatever it is that
human ingenuity has devised to
study, that is available, The cost
1s small—and there are more free
courses available in New York
than anywhere in the world.

It's a good, friendly town, New
York, A town in which Uncle
Sam's employees can come and
settle down, Can come and do
their work peacecMy, without
nerve-killing tension. A town to
work, to play, to live in. A town
where one can find stability, se-
curity, fullness,

ARoundup of Good Eateries

By TED BALDWIN

Interested in food?

‘The Chamber of Commerce is
still waiting to hear a solid com-
Jaint from any solid citizen to
the effect that he can’t find the
ind of food he’s looking for, and
to fit his purse,
ct is you can usually have at-
phere with your dinner in

York.
Take the Gaslight Cafe at 56th

street. and First Avenue, Man-
jattan. Here you can get gay
nineties’ atmosphere, gas lights
id a huge, old-styled icebox, for
chilling beer, an_ old-fashioned

tesselated floor and a black wal-

nut bar, to go along with your

meals, They're known for their

steaks—with all the trimmings.
Ola Paris

If you want to be reminded of

‘a small, neighborhood restaurant

in old Paris, take a trip to Mars,
at 340 East 66th Street, Manhat-
tan, where the table d’hote din-
ner with wine is as reasonable as
you could expect, Nothing stylish.
Suffice to say, the cote de veau
is tasty enough.

Two thoroughly Parisian res-
taurants, in the modern style, are
Bonnat's, at 230 West 3ist Street,
and the Cafe de la Ville, at 65
East 54th Street. Inexpensive,
too.

A breath of old Vienna can be
had at 313 East 55th Street, site
of the Hapsburg Restaurant,
founded by Walter Chrysler, Jr.,
son of the automobile manufac-
turer, This is the place that used
to instruct its hat-check girls to
give each customer a new dime

* when she handed back his hat—
just to be different, But the idea
has since been deemed a bit un-
economical, Anyhow, they still

hot popovers. ‘This little eatery
specializes in old-fashioned, home
cooking.

Sure, if it’s roast beef you're
liking, mostly with noise, go to
McGinnis’ on Broadway (they
also have the old place in Sheeps-
head Bay, Brooklyn). It's at
Broadway and 52nd Street, and
you can have it at the counter—
standing up-or at a dinner table—
sitting down, of course.

Hungarian dishes, to the strains
of a string quartet that makes
everything rather romantic, are
offered at the Budapest, 117 West
48th Street. Ask for the goulash.

Hawaiian Atmosphere

Hawaiian atmosphere exists at
the Hawaiian Room of the Hotel
Lexington, Lexington Avenue and
48th Street. Clouds can be seen
across the make*believe sky and
occasionally a tropical rainstorm
makes the realism the more real.

A basement hideaway apartment
is Christ Cella’s, at 144 East 46th
Street. Here you can find the
speakeasy atmosphere preserved.

For delectable spagiietti, you
might try Barrow’s, at 48 Barrow
Street, near Sheridan Square, in
Greenwich Village.

If it's a fish dinner that appeals

to you, you can try Lake and
Anderson's, at 2 Fulton Street,
Manhattan. No pretense, and

waiters almost as old as the res-
taurant itself. Right nearby, 500
million tons of fish pour through
Fulton Fish Market every year. If
it's lobster ycu're anxious for
above everything else, there's
Harry and Eddie's, at 52 West
56th Street.

Watefront Pub

Eating in a noted water-front
pub might be fun, This can be
done at Pitman’s, at 7 Front
Street, off the lower New York
waterfront. Salty atmosphere,
here, and large oil paintings
with ‘undraped females scattered
around the walls.

There are countless others, of
all sorts. For example: the Rain-
bow Room, atop Rockefeller Cen-
ter, the best of the best; Lindy's,
Leon and Eddie's, Jack Demp-
sey’s, Dinty Moore's, Sardi’s—all
in the bright-light district, within
& few stones’ throw of the wage
and hour division; the Golden
Horn (Armenian); the Bayrischer-
Hof (Bavarian); Lum-Fong's and
Freeman Chinn's (Chinese) ; Little

man); Apollo (Greek); Hebrew

Center (Hebrew); Budapest (Hun-
garian); Xochitl (Mexican); Po-
lish National Home Restaurant;
Estrada’s (Spanish), and Swedish
Rethskeller.

Smorgasbord

There's smorgasbord to fill you
right up to here, and music, too,

at the Wiver Restaurant, 254
West 45th Street; there's “
berian’’ meat at the Russian

Kretchma, 244 East 14th Street,
and low-priced food and hominess
at Kavkas, another Russian res-
taurant on 14th Street; there's
airplane atmosphere at the La-
Guardia Field restaurant at the
field in Flushing; there's an only-

Ye Olde Chop House in the Wall
Street, financial district; there's
the swank of the Stork Club in
mid-town Manhattan; there's the
N. Y. Telephone Company res-
taurant in the basement of the
Telephone Building, at 140 West
Street, where the appeal is almost
exclusively for ladies, and there's
the Tavern-on-the-Green in Cen-
tral Park, for park atmosphere.
For quick lunches, there's the
famous Green Line string of res
taurants. For something even
quicker, there's Nedick's ‘hot

Night after night, bad weather

Facts and Figures

Ten million workers must be
added to the production lines of
war industries during the next
calendar year.

Industry an@ vocationat schools |
will have to go in for intensive |
training in order to place these
workers in production

On-the-job training, and train- |
ing to “upgrade" workers where
they will be most efficient, is ex-
pected to include 2,000,000 men |
and women, |

The U. S. Office of Education
expects to train 350,000 in short
intensive courses for engineers,
chemists, physicists, and produc: |
tion managers. This is college |
training.

Vocational schools will instruct
another 2,500,000 in supplementary
courses and in pre-employment
courses to provide workers with
new skills,

‘These facts and figures were re-
vealed last week by Lt. Col. N

ers in New York City who have
wondered whether they would
ever be allowed to utilize hand

Low-Paid Must Get Increase

“T have intentionally omitted
the possibility of reducing city
employees’ salaries," pointed out
the budget director, adding “and,
with the rising cost of living and
high Federal tax burden, I believe
the low-paid groups of city em-
ployees must have some increases
to balance the rising cost of liv-
ing.” He said the Board of Esti-
mate and Mayor LaGuardia
“ought to decide just who is to
get the increases, if any."

Mr, Dayton said this requested

budget increase “isn't the usual

appeal for more funds than neces-
sary. Debt service and miscel-
Janeous accounts of a mandatory
nature make up a $15,000,000 in-
crease in themselves, Hospitals,
Police and Fire Department re-
quests make up another $15,090,-
000, It's going to be tough to
avoid real increases in these three
appropriations.””

‘And, Mi, Dayton went on, the
city appears about to take a loss
of revenue in the general fund
and in declining real estate values,

Cohen Has Different View

Councilman Louis Cohen, of The
Bronx, ridiculed the budget direc-
tor's gloomy picture as “evasive
and serving no purpose but to
make an ordinarily bad situation
appear worse, The budget director
knows that the city’s cupboard
has been bare for some time and
that it’s the fault of the city,
which has picked up money from
practically every available source
by now. Why, from the picture
Mr. Dayton describes,
the City Council was
We haven't added to the
expenses in three years, It!
to the Board of Estimate and the
Mayor to think up another way
out—as usual.’’

Councilman Stanley M, Tsaacs,
of Manhattan, looked upon the
budget requests as ‘normal’ and
pointed out he is ‘confident the
Mayor and the Board of Estimate
can work things out in the best
possible way."

“Mr, Dayton’s favoring increases
for some employees," he com-
mented, “is a good sign, Some ad-
vance should have been included
in the city payroll some time ago
to meet rising living costs.”

City Gets More Cash

While Mr. Dayton was being
gloomy,“announcement was made
in Albany that the city will prob-
ably receive around $7,000,000 ad-
ditional revenue for its general
fund,

This added cash will come from
the 1 percent tax on revenues of
public utilities which the city is
now extracting and earmarking
for unemployment relief, With re-
lief declining, the city is slated to
be given the right to divert all of
this revenue into the general
fund, Mr, Dayton has referred to
this as ‘reallocation of existing
taxes."

In addition, the city expects to
get part of the cumulative relief
surplus for general fund purposes
and more because of the restora;
tion of full State aid for educa-
tion,

Should Increase Prestige

Civil service, then, is definitely
bulging with competent employees
the, figures show. And “any ef-
fort made by government authori-
ties to increase the prestige of
civil service will help’ in making
government more efficient,

“Civil service should," the au
thors conclude, “fight constantly
against the popular impression
that it is a last resort for the
economically hopeless.” What is
more, they would humanize per-
sonnel procedure in the merit sys-
tem more than ever

Public Hearing

ices, He suggested that, inasmuch
as the Federal Government was
using city lists, there should be a
certain amount of “reciprocity.”

However, the new Commission
president hastened to add that he
had no vested interest in the mat-
ter but made these suggestions
just for the record, as no one ap-
peaved in favor of it,

This was the first public hear-
ing attended by all three of the
commissioners: President Marsh

NYC on One Nickel

During the World's Fair, pub-
licity men called New York the
“wonder city’’ — and with reason.
However, the biggest wonder
about New York was often over-
looked, This is the fact that the
magnificent splendor of the city,
its greatest attractions, are free.
With the expenditure of a fiv
cent subway fare, the visitor or
new resident can be transported
swiftly to a section of the city
noted for its character, beaut

rare quality peculiar to itself,

Drop a nickel into any subway
slot in midtown, uptown, or in
any one of the boroughs and take
a train to downtown Manhattan,
Get off at City Hall, at Wall

If you make your downtown
journey in the small hours of the
morning, be sure to visit Fulton

on the opposite shore of Manhat-
tan, the Washington Market near
‘West Street.

On other

days, your five-cent

A five-cent subway ride will
take you to any one of the

bridges. No visit to New York is
complete without a walk across

its unparalleled view of downtown

Williamsburgh Bridge, the Man-

Fire
Facts

PHACE-TIME GAS is a danger
which has been sadly overlooked
in war-time preparations.
Military officials and civilian de-
fense leaders have given. the
American public intelligent infor-
mation on why NOT to expect a
gas attack from our enemies.
Their claim that, from a military
standpoint, it would be foolish to
load a plane with gas bombs when
the same load in demolition bombs
would be more effective, war-
rants every consideration, And
the fact that Japan has been ex-
perimenting with bacterial bombs
does not alter the situation to any
great extent.

But it is the peace-time gas
which should be given much
thought, What is peace-time gas?
It is the plain poisonous fumes
which emanate from almost any-
thing which burns, And its gas
is just as deadly as any which our
enemy may attempt to use on us,
Yes, what I am calling peace-time
gas is the same poisonous fumes
which have "knocked-out" hun-
dreds of firemen, but—which fire-
men know how to handle, But
what about the general public?
Hundreds of incendiary bombs
dropped on an inexperienced pub-
lic could cause a poisonous screen
just as deadly, just as damaging
as any gas bomb dropped by our
enemies, Has the general public
been taught what to do for smoke
narcosis, arising from carbon mon-
oxide, or other poisonous gases
let out by incomplete combustion?
Hundreds of fires started simul-
taneously by incendiary bombs
would leave off enough poisonous
fumes that would effect us just as
greatly as if the enemy dropped
hundreds of poisonous gas bombs.
What then? More another week
on this subject,

and a course in drafting and of-

POSTAL NEWS

By DONALD MacDOUGAL
Poll on Tie-Up

A committee of ten men, com-
posed of five members of the
United National Association of
Post Office Clerks and five mem-
bers of the New York Federation
of Post Office Clerks, has been
formed to set up machinery for
taking a poll among all post office
clerks in the city on the question
of the amalgamation of the two
existing clerk organizations.

The Federation is confident this
1s the first concrete step taken by
the rank and file membership of
both organizations toward accom-
plishing the unification that seems
to be so necessary if benefits for
all post office clerks are to be
had.

‘This decision to take a poll was
made at a meeting last ‘Tuesday
night in the office of the Local 10
of the Federation.

Off to Capital

A delegation of about 100 substi-
tute clerks of Local 10 left for
Washington, D. C,, to present the
amalgamation resolution, adopted
by the entire membership at the
last regular membership meeting,
to Postmaster General Walker.
The group will also seek an ap-
pointment with President Roose-
velt, The resolution was later

adopted by the Joint Conferency
of Affiliated Postal Organization,”

British Viewpoint

Being excerpts from a@ lettey
from an English postal worke,
making his rounds under wa,
clouds in London to the editor o¢
“Live Wire,’ postal publication
of Local 64 in-Los Angeles;

“Believe me, the British work.
ers are not in this fight from q
spiirt of nationalism, nor to main.
tain the glories of ‘Empire.’

“We are sick of war and totally
disillusioned in regard to the re.
sults of war against any nation,
but in this war we feel we are not
fighting a combination of nations
but an adominable creed, against
tyranny. Our governors in tha
years before the war let us down,
We have to get on with the job
of remedying the deficiencies.

“American help is vital to us,
You can be sure you will be help-
ing us to retain and advance lib.
erty and democracy and not
merely to maintain the old stand-
ards of the workers and the ex-
clusive right of a small class to
govern the nation.

“We have many items on our
Union programme identical with
yours as to working conditions,
We have a well-organized branch
here of 3,500, with nearly 1,000
others absent on military service,

Mental Hygiene Notes

By JOHN F. MONTGOMERY

Nurses’ Suggestions

The New York State Hospital
Employees’ Association has gone
‘on record as favoring the classifi-
cation of the nursing staff as pro-
fessionals when the mental hy-
giene employees’ wages are regu-
lated by article three of the Civil
Service law,

The group also has requested
that department heads may not
be allowed to withhold an incre-
ment, as well as creation of an
unbiased appeals board to which
State employees may address their
grievances. A metropolitan area
unit of employees has added this
contribution to the resolution
drawn up: that the board of vis-
itors should be enlarged from
seven to nine members, to include
two former employees.

BARGAIN BUYS

By Prudence Shopper

Spring and Summer, you can use
them beautifully for gardening or
just around the house, doing
painting, Spring cleaning and odd
jobs.

In the pastel range, the garbar-
dine suits are wonderful! To
wear, to look at, and to feel!
‘They are usually tailored on sim-
ple boyish lines, single-breasted,
B-button, patch-pocket style jac-
kets, inverted pleated skirts for
action, deep hemmed and with
padded shoulders. They come in
the most lucious colors; a soft,
dusty blue-gray, a warm biscuit,
a “‘seafoam’ that reminds you of
& Miami ocean and sky. If pos-
sible, see the ones Saks Fifth
Avenue is showing in the Teen
Size Shop (sizes 10 to 16) on the

2nd floor. They sell the skirts
and jackets separately. I bought
the blue-grey one, skirt and
jacket, all for $29.95, and I
love it.

Hosiery Repair

Just got a call from Ace Hos!

& Repair Company, $17 Broad
at 12th Street, New York. They
do silk and nylon hosiery repairs,
at 15c per stocking, exclusive of |
postage, and offer to send back
hosiery within 24 hours after re-
ceipt. Payment may be in pos-
tage stamps.

Auto Cleaning

Have to devote this last line to
the Men, This is a tip that’s too
good to keep to myself.

At 720 Southern Boulevard, in
the Bronx, is the DAVIS AUTO
LAUNDRY. In six minutes your
car is thoroughly cleaned and you
can jump in and drive off with-
out the loss of a step.

Here’s the streamlined system.
The car is rolled onto @ conveyer
which carries it along under sep-
arate power, and as it proceeds it

is systematically washed. No loss |

of time, and a good clean job.

The DAVIS AUTO LAUNDRY
also has a modern lubritorium
where the car can be oiled and
greased in no time. We suggest
that you visit this plant, and get
@ good fast modern job at very
low costs.

U. S. Hiring Will
Reach New High

WASHINGTON —A survey just
completed shows that Uncle Sam
will continue to hire tens of thou-
sands of new employees in the
fiscal year that starts on July 1,
1942,

Civil Service officials estimate
that more than 1,200,000 persons
will have to be recruited for Fed-
eral jobs in the 1942 fiscal year,
or 100,000 a month,

Recruiting is now being done at
the rate of 140,000 a month.

However, all the new people to
be hired won't fill new jobs. At
least 40 percent will be for re-
placements. The Government is
losing thousands of people each
month to war industries and the
fighting front. And replacements
are getting tougher and tougher.

It now appears that there will
be 2,750,000 Federal workers by
the end of the 1943 fiscal year
which will be 17 months from
now.

The latest count made on the
Civil Service Commission—on Jan-
uary 1, 1942—numbered 1,670,922.
But an unofficial estimate of the
number now is 1,800,000 and by
July 1 the figure is expected to
zoom up to 2,150,000.

of courses in the evening high or

Complete courses are offered in
academic, technical and commer-

Brees Bill Ends Pay Differential to
Employees Entering Military Service

By H. ELIOT KAPLAN
Two weeks ago, legislative lead-
determined to push
through the Brees bill with all
possible speed. The LEADER'S
Albany correspondent learned of
sspaper so
ders in the issue

ers quetly

. of the
week at Al
certain as The LEADER was go-
ing to press, constituted one of

measure this

ny, which seemed

the important
Slate Senate as the Legi
hurried the measure to
Lehman to stop payment of wage
differentials to public employees,
State and local, entering the mil-
itary ov naval services, The
measure has already passed the
mbly.

‘The bill stops payment of the
differential to all persons enter-
ing the military or naval service
after the effective date of the law
=the day when the Governor
signs it. But anybody accepted
meanwhile in the Naval Reserve
or the Marine Corps Reserve, the
only services still open under the
old pay differential law, is eli-
gible to all the benefits of the
act even if not called to “ordered
duty” until Jate

This includes everybody able to
meet the deadline, which is the
time Governor Lehman puts his
pen to the measure and writes
“Approved.”

Big Exception

While the bill will put a stop to
differential payments for new en-
listments afier it becomes law, it
will not affect the status of most
of those who got into the New
York State National Guard, the
Organized Reserves, or the other
r © forces, before the effectiv
date of the bill, They will co
to dvaw thetr differential
Tt will take nothing from
them EXCEPT:

There is one big EXCEPTION
in the measure which may affect
a lot of employees. That to
do with substitutes, [t is aimed
at alleged abuses that grew out of
the differential law. It prohibits
payment of the differential to a
substitute who moved
higher salaried job val
someone who quit to go into the
service and is obtaining his differ
ntial, Instead of getting the dif-
ferential at the higher salary, the
Substitute who also vacated the
job will get a differential on the
busis of the pay he received in
his lower paid job.

The chject of this section is to

objectives of the
lature
jovernor

Ass

thwart the appointment of substi-
tutes to higher pay grades and the
appointment of persons eligible to
vacant jobs but where the appoint-
ment was obviously merely to en-
able the appointee to clinch the
differential.

One Job Pays 3 Differentials

One of the members of the Sen-
ate said he knew of one State
job that today is paying differ-
entials to three different men.
He said he had heard of another
job through which six men had
passed, each of them now drawing
the differential from the identical
job. He said these instances were
typical and that such tacties were
being carried on widely through
State and municipal agencies,

"It is to end such abuses that
we wrote that provision into the
Brees bill,"” said one of the legis-
lators. ‘When the bill becomes
law none of those fellows will
draw the differential in effect
when they went into the service.
If they were in the public service
before being promoted, advanced,
or appointed ag a substitute to
take the place of somebody who
left and is drawing the differen-
tial, they will get the differential
based only on the pay they were
getting before moving into the
other job as a substitute.”

There will be one differential
only for one job. It was under-
stood, as The LEADER was going
to.press, that a slight amendment
might be made in the section of
the bill concerning substitutes.

Civil service circles buzzed with
the “unfairness” of the Brees bill
to those who weren't able to conie
under the deadline, There was
also objection to the fact that re-
cent enlistment in some of the ser-
vices brought the pay difference,
while enlistment in other services
did not. A thfrd argument of civil
employees is that all employees
should get the pay difference
whether civil service or not. This
point of view has been supported
by important State officials and
organizations, who have held there
is nothing unpatriotic in the pay
differential principle.
