Service Commission announces its February, 1948, exam

State Troopers
Alarmed Over.
Sheriff Threat

UTICA, Nov, 24.—The Police
Benevolent Association’s execu-

tive committee, at a meeting here,
heard reports of increasing as-
sumption by Sheriffs of duties
performed by State Troopers. It
Was reported that only a few State
Troopers act as road police now
in Westchester and Nassau coun-
ties, and on week-ends only,
Sheriffs and their aides travel
in autos on road vigilance, it was
said; and signs exist of reduced
‘Trooper service in Dutchess Coun-
ty, with other counties to’ follow,
The fact that these Sheriffs’ staffs
are uniformed now accentuated
the alarm,

The Troopers had been assured
last year that no intent existed
to abolish the State Police, in
favor of Sheriffs and Deputie:
Recently activities by Sheriff:
caused some wonder among State
Troopers. Now the State Police
see an attempt to replace them,
after all,

The meeting discussed various
other topics, including member-
ship in the State Police Confer-
ence. Talks were given by Roman
J. Laurence, President of the
PBA (Troopers); Dr, William
Douglas, of Utica; Walter Ca-
dell, counsel to the PBA (Troop-
‘ers), and others,

The Association will sponsor a

It is anticipated that one ad-

| The State

Employee

ployees Association, Inc., and
Member of the Employees’ Merit
Award Board.

SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE

HE State is the servant of the people. Its highest duty

is to act in the interest of all the people, all the time,
and in every way.

There are those who constantly represent the State
as the enemy and the exploiter of the people. There are
those who represent it as a necessary evil. There are
those that picture it as an overgrown monstrosity. It is
damned as bureaucracy. There are few who take the
time and trouble to examine what the citizens of the State
accomplish for themselves by acting together through
their government, and the lasting value of the services
entrusted by the people to the government as their in-
strument and agent.

In every major area, the State has a large share in
building a more abundant life for all the people,

State Services Cover Wide Field

If you ask the average person what he wants most out
of life, he will place the welfare of his children first. He
wants them protected from disease and impure food. He
wants their native abilities developed to the fullest extent;
he wants for them opportunity for sound recreation, for
rewarding social contacts, a good job in which his boy
or girl is treated as a person, not merely a cog in a
machine, He wants for them a community of real neigh-
bors. He wants his boy or girl to found a family on love
and mutual respect, and to have his part in politics and
the great decisions of public policies and problems, local,
state, national and international,

Few if any of these hopes can be realized unless the
State does its full job. Health, Education, Labor, Agricul-
ture, Safety, Social Welfare, Law Enforcement, Security,
Justice—it is the activities of the State in these areas that
makes the hopes of a parent for his children’s welfare
possible of achievement. It is the State that includes the
welfare of “all of the people” and not just “some of the
people” as its chief concern.

Importance of Public Employee

Every public employee is the agent and representative
of Government. He is the means by which the State or
municipality performs its high function and responsibili-
ties. He is clothed in a mantel of service and he recognizes
the public both as his employer and his customer,

The chief handicap to good service to the people is
the deliberate attempt to degrade and abuse Government
itself by self-seeking interests. A political party that
seeks control of government for merely partisan ends; a
high official who pays political debts with patronage; a
business which seeks special tax or other favors; a person
who seeks to evade the enforcement of the law—all these
degrade and betray the highest birthright of all the
people, democratic government.

The public employee is profoundly concerned that
Democracy be recognized for what it is; government by
the people for the people. He demands

That government be allowed and required to do
a full job for all the people and he urges

That the people demand of government the high-
est in service to all the people.

It is not enough that the State be dedicated to the
welfare of all the citizens—all the people must be dedi-
cated to the cause of democratic government.

“The theory that compensating

reaction. Experience shows that
the number of positions allowed

An Association spokesman com-
mended Public Works Commis-
sioner Charles Sells for the over-

nature for his department. At the
same time, this spokesman made
it clear that the Association ob-

overtime pay schedules into effect.
Frequently such delays are not,
however, the fault of the depart-
ment head.

Determining Hourly Rate

The Public Works memorandum
provides payment of overtime at
the hourly rate of compensation
in which the overtime is worked.
The hourly rate is determined by
dividing the annual rate of pay
by 2,000. The order states: “Em-
ployees who regularly work 44 or

as practicable, receive approved

lof the 44 or 48 hours per weck

rected to select a Nominating
Committee for permanent off-cers.

Mt, McGregor Veterans Camp
is dedicated to rest and rehabilita-
tion of veterans and was estab-
lished by Governor Thomas E.
Dewey two years ago. It is beauti-
fully located at an elevation of
over a thousand feet and about
equal distance from Lake George
and Saratoga Springs. The build-

jings and grounds were formerly

used by the Metropolitan Life In-
surance Company as a vacation
resort for eniployees.

Some two hundred State em-
ployees of all professions and skills
care efficiently for the splendid
rehabilitation work that is being
carried on under the able direc-
tion of Superintendent George E,
Hubbard.

William F. McDonough, Execu-
tive Representative, and Laurence
J. Hollister, Field Representative,
of the Association, addressed the
meeting of employees. Mr. Hol-
lister outlined the functions of a
chapter and the advantages, and
stated that the 108 chapters now
active were of great help to their
members and to the upbuilding of
service and of employee welfare.

Mr. McDonough told of the ac-
tivities of the Association since its
formation in 1910 and of the pro-
gram for the present year cover-
ing salary, retirement and labor
relations legislation. He said:

“New York State is leading to-
day as it has for many years in
wealth and population and com-
mercial activities. It is failing to
meet the needs of government as
to“ respect and rewards for the
personnel essential to efficiency
and progress in service to the
people. The Association urges that
the State utilize the great resou
present in its civil service em-
ployees by establishing enlight-
ened labor relations plans with
greater attention to providing
zareer service opportunities and
the liberalization of pay and re-
tirement plans.”

CRAIG COLONY — J. Walter
Mannix was re-elected President

Part in State Work

ALBANY, Nov. 24.-The Women
in State service are responsible
for a large measure of the effec-

an award as “The Governor Who
Has Done the Most to Further
the Interests of Women in His
State.” The award was made at
the Women’s International Expo-
sition in the ‘1st Regiment

“T am convinced that our (the

sive government is due in large
measure to the number of high
minded, gifted and capable wo-
men who take part in the team-
work which produces these re-
sults,” Governor Dewey _ said.
“There is not a single department
in the State government whose
effectiveness for the public good |
has not been enhanced by the
keen and devoted services of one
or more women,” he added.

Governor Dewey
Knows the Score

OVERNOR Thomas E. Dewey himself last week gave
the decisive reasons why the State of New York must
grant to its employees substantial upward pay adjustments.
The Governor knows what inflation is doing to these
people—he knows what it is doing to everything the State
State government must purchase.
The New York “Herald Tribune” paraphrased the
the Governor spoke at a press conference last week:
overnor Thomas E. Dewey said today that infla-
tion had caused such a boost in the cost of government
that there would be no reduction in State taxes next year.”
The Governor's direct words, as quoted, were: “The
impact of inflation on the needs of State government has
become very heavy and quite serious.”

BEekman 3-6010

Time Now to Announce Stand for Raise

The Chief Executive told the assembled newspaper-
men that the cost of feeding the 100,000 patients in the
Mental Hygiene institutions had gone up 19 per cent over
Jast yea He said that expenditures for food, fuel, cloth-
ing, household and medical supplies for State institutions
operated by the departments of Mental Hygiene, Correc-
tion, Health and Social Welfare amounted to $7,800,000
more than was provided in the budget.

There’s your answer. The Governor covered every-
thing except the salaries of employees. As The LEADER
has demonstrated statistically, these salaries are now, in
actual worth, less than the 1989 salaries paid to State
workers.

The Civil Service Employees Association is asking a
minimum increase in pay of 25 per cent for State em-
ployees. It’s a conservative request. The Governor could
do much to assure the stability of State service by an-
nouncing now that he is for the pay raise, that the em-
ployees should get it. The Legislature will act on the
pay in e proposal, but meanwhile there is no need of
keeping the employees in a continued state of jitters for
several months as to where the State administration
stands.

NYC Should Offer
Pay for Ideas

O economical are employee awards for suggestions on

saving and other improvements that it is lamentable
NYC does not institute such a system, which pays for itself
hundreds of times over. The reward is given once; the
benefits continue. The LEADER recommends again that
the city do so at once.

Only a glance at the results obtained by the Federal
government, from its longer experience, and by the State,
through its Employees’ Merit Award Board not yet two
years old, proves the public benefit. Also, employee
morale is stimulated, an incidental but nevertheless im-
portant factor.

US. workers in 16 departments, by their rewarded
suggestions, saved the Federal government $16,739,000.
No doubt in due course we shall hear from the State
about the savings effectuated through suggestions made
to and rewarded by it, and put into practice. The
Federal government has been quick to adopt improved
methods and even policies, on such employee recommenda-
tion, and it would be salutary for the State to follow also
the example of speed. Meanwhile NYC should not hold
off too long, because economy is what its hard-pressed
money-bag custodians are seeking. The great city must
not rely on some private agency, like the Citizens Budget
Commission, to fill a need that is a public obligation,

Social Case Workers have a case-
load far too heavy for the job to
be adequately done. Besides field
work and client-interviewing in
the office, there are a multitude
of clerical duties which each Case

responsible for the accusation
that relief is being bungled. With
such heavy case-loads, clerical

BINGHAMTON — A dinner
meeting of the Binghamton Dis-
trict New York State Employees
Federal Credit Union was held at
the American Legion Post 1194
Club House kt Hillcrest. Ernest L.

Position and urged continued and
increased support in its work.

of the Southern Tier Chapter of
the New York State Credit Union,
League, and treasurer of the
Ozalid Employees Federal Credit
Union, and Henry H. Jull, Field

Mr. Goss outlined the work of
the Southern Tier Chapter, point-
ing out the many advantages of
credit union membership in the
chapter.

Mr. Jull gave a detailed exposi-
tion of the workings of credit
unions. He pointed out the eco-
nomic advantages to the individ-
ual in holding shares in a credit
union. He stressed the financial
safety of such organizations
through the constant supervision
of the FDIC, as well as through
the credit unions’ supervisory
committees. He urged that mem-
bers should be more cognizant of
the potential possibilities of their
credit unions and recommended
systematic saving as a means of
realizing them.

Pyitete R, Brown and Helen Van

tta.

7 Who Were Dropped
Are Allowed to Resign
State Dept. Jobs

WASHINGTON, Noy. 24—The
seven former State Department
employees discharged as security
tisks have been permitted to re-
sign without prejudice, This re-
versal of the Department policy
follows an appeal made by the em-
Pployees’ attorneys, Thurman Ar-
nold, former Assistant Attorney
General; Paul Porter, former OPA
Director, and Abe Fortas, former
Under Secretary of Interior.
Meanwhile, the Department an-
nounced it 1s taking all steps to
insure its emplyoees the right of
appeal before the Lowalty Re-
view Board. They now are specifl-
cally exempted by an appropria-
tions rider which permits the De-
partment to dismiss emplyoees
with questionable loyalty without
preferring charges or granting
hearings,

mittee on Civil Employees and

was introduced by Councilman 8.
Samuel Di Falco.

‘The measure also would set a

This legislation apparently is

Hospitals Department in recruit-
ing new personnel and making a
career in the hospitals more at-
tractive to current employees too.
Reduction of the work week from
48 hours has been a major de-
mand of employee groups.
Meanwhile, Hospitals Commis-
sioner Edward M, Bernecker has
requested funds for 7,508 new jobs
as Practical Nurses, Messengers,
Hospital Attendants, Helpers and
Ward Clerks. In a message to
Mayor O'Dwyer, he outlined a
program to ease a “grave situa-
tion” which threatens the stand-

Its Survey of
Five Departments

The Citizens Budget Commis-
sion reported that all field studies
have been completed and that
section reports are being prepared
on its survey, at Mayor O’Dwyer’s
request, of the Departments of
Police, Fire, Sanitation, Public
Works and Correction.

The survey has been under way
since last April, when the Mayor
asked the Commission to study
and report on the fessibility of
streamlining certain functions and
of mechanization of the five de-
partments; the feasibility of con-
solidating functions in the depart
ments; and reclassifying the civil
service positions in the same de-
partments,

‘The present progress report was
made to the Mayor by the Budg-
et Commission’s Planning Com-
mittee on the Survey, composed
of Harold Riegelman, Chairman;
George R. Van Namee and Robert
Winthrop.

A first gain from the survey is
the use of findings in the prepara~
tion of the City’s forthcoming
1948-1949 expense budget. For
this purpose the reports on field
studies are being made available
to the City’s Bureau of the Budg-
et.

A first draft of the final report
will be submitted for factual in-
spection and comment to the
Director of the Budget and the
Commissioners of the five depart-
ments involved in the survey.

The final report wiil approxi-
mate 300 pages. It is being drawn
by Louis Er Yayner, Director of
the Survey, and former ity Com-
missioner of Investigation, In, this
final report will be separate sec-
tions for each of the five Depart-
ments, with collective findings and
recommendations under the head-
ings of Management and Budget-
ing Policy, Personnel Administra-
aes Office Management, Merger
ee Departments, and Mechaniza-

ion.

On Projects in PBA

Advocacy of faster action on
some of the proposals before the
Patrolmen’s Benevolent Associa-
tion was voiced by speakers at
the last meeting, held in Werde-
mann’s Hall, Action was post-~
poned 30 days on the DiFalco bill
for monetary benefits for veterans,
over the objection of Pete Schnei-
der, who wanted the Association
to take a position without delay.

Edwin D. Crane, former 1st
Vice-president, urged that action
be taken now to unite with other
employee groups in support of the
pay-increase drive,

President John E. Carton ex-
plained study of complex prob-
lems was necessary and that
action would be taken as soon as
sufficient facts were at hand. He
was not enthusiastic for action
now on a united drive with other
organizations, as the PBA and
the Fire Department groups,
UFA and UFOA, are working
together to attain a pay increase,

Opinion Sought from Murphy

Word was given at the meet-
ing that a lw suit was likely over
the veteran preference construc-
tion “as exemplified in the Ser-
geant examination, because of
retroactive seniority moving vet-
erans into the First Grade and
making them eligible for promo-
tion by counting the period of
service in the armed forces as
Police Department service. Cor-
poration Counsel John E. Murphy
now has before him a request

NYC Fireman Test
In February or March

‘The Fireman (P.D.) examina-
tion will be open for filing ap-
plications in February or March
under plans announced today by
the NYC Civil Service Commis-
Sion. Applications will be accepted
in the City Collector's offices in
all five boroughs for a 14-day
period beginning the first week in
either month, but probably in
February.

Except for the change in the
filing dates, originally planned
for January, the remainder of the
examination schedule is expected
to be the same. The Commission
hopes to establish an eligible list
by December, 1948 with Fire De-
partment needs being met until
then by the current list. A writ-
ten test w! be given in late
March or early April, Surviving
candidates will be given a quali-
fying medical test, probably some
time in May. The physical exam-
ination is planned for June at Van
Cortlandt Park.

The Commission pointed out
that this scheduled might be
shifted about because of the press

of other examinations, but a list
will be ready in December unless
there is a change in Fire Depart-
ment ni

Previt y-announced plans call
for the following minimum re-
quirements: Height, 5 feet 61%
inches; 20/30 snellen rating for
each eye without glasses; a min-
imum age of 21 at appointment;
eligibles must not haye passed
their 29th birthday at the time
of application.

Maximum age limits will be
figured as of the first day of the
filing period, thus giving border-
line cases the added advantage of
almost two weeks. Veterans will
be permitted to deduct their pe-
riod of service from their age, and
men still over the age limit will
be permitted to deduct travel time
granted them from the discharge
center to their homes.

The current eligible list, with
350 names, is expected to be de-
pleted by December, 1948 under
personnel plans announced by
Fire Commissioner Frank J.
Quayle,

KNOWLEDGE THAT IS 'MUST'

By PHILIP FINE

HIGHLIGHTS OF VETERAN PREFERENCE

ETERAN _ preference—disabled
“and non-disabled—hes been a
major storm center since it first
became effective January 1, 1946.
Much of the clash has been due
to veterans’ failure to gain a clear
picture of their rights. And even
more bitter disputes have been
developing over the interpretation
of various sections of the enabling
legislation.

First, non-disabled veterans
preference will be granted until
Dec. 31, 1950, or five years from
the date of the veteran's dis-
charge, which ever is later. Dis-
abled veteran preference continues
forever. Either type must, however,
exist at or just prior te time of
appointment or promotion.

The NYC Civil Service Commis-
sion does not grant either form
of preference to any veteran who
does not pass the entire examina-
tion. Those who do pass and get
on an eligible list are granted
preference in this way: Disabled
veterans are moved to the top of
the list in a group in the order
of their relative ratings among
themselves; non-disabled veterans
are next, on the same basis, and
non-veterans are last. No points
are added to veterans’ ratings.

Basic Requirements

To be eligible for veteran pref-
erence, the applicant must be a
citizen, and a resident of New
York State, who has been hon-
orably discharged or _ released
under honorable circumstances
from the armed forces of the
United States. The applicant must
have served during wartime and
must have been a resident of the
State at the time of his entrance
into the armed fore:

‘The official definition of a_dis-
abled veteran offered by the Com-
mission is this: “A citizen and
resident of the State. who has
been honorably discharged or re-
leased under honorable circum-
stances from the armed forces of
the United States, having served,
therein in time of war, who was
a resident of the State at the time
of his or her entrance into the
armed forces and who is certified
by the U. S. Veterans Adminis-
tration as having a disability in-
curred while in such service,
which is in existence at the time
of his or her application for ap-
pointment or promotion.”

Court Actions

‘The basis of this definition has
occasioned court actions, In one,
the city has maintained, through
Corporation Counsel Charles E,
Murphy, that a veteran with a
zero per cent disahility rating is
not entitled to disabled veteran
preference, and was upheld but
without a clarifying court opinion.
In another case, the State
Supreme Court ruled that such
veterans are entitled to primary
preference. This opinion has been
appealed,

Meanwhile the city is granting
disabled veterans preference to all
eligibles the VA lists as having

which exist at certification for
appointment or promotion, This
is accomplished in a new VA cer-
tificate, which eliminates the ex-
pression “zero per cent disability.”
The city hopes this will stand up,
regardless of court cases.

Veterans are permitted to de-
duct their period of service from
their actual age, to come within
maximum age allowed. Veterans
who missed promotion examina-
tions while on active duty may
apply, within 90 days of their dis-
charge, for a special military ex-
amination, For re-employment
rights, they must apply within 90
days of their discharge also.

The Five-year Limit

More trouble on the interpreta-
tion of preference rights is ex-
pected when the expiration dates
are neay. For example, what hap-
pens to a veteran who takes an
examination four years after his
discharge, is granted veteran
preference, but does not get ap-
pointed during the first year of
the list? Does he lose his prefer-
ence because five years have
elapsed since his discharge, or
does it continue for the remain-
ing three years of the list’s legal
life?

Sidney M. Stern, the Commis-
sion’s legal expert, says that the
veteran loses his preference at
the end of that year, or in gen-
eral, whenever the five-year
period ends. Opinion of the NYC
Commission is unanimous on that
point,

‘The Commission grants a special
type of preference to vetsrans who
apply for jobs in the Labor Class.
Since most of these jobs are on
a first-come-first-served basis, the
preference works in this manner:
Disabled veterans are moved to
the top of the list and arranged
in the order in which they ap-
plied; the same is done nexi with
non-disabled veterans, while non-
veterans are last.

Galston Moves Exams;

Congestion Clearing

‘The Examining Division of the
NYC Civil Service Commission,
under the Direction of Samuel
H, Galston, is expediting the heavy
load of examinations now being
conducted.

It is Mr. Galston’s Division
which has been bearing the brunt
of the work involved in handling
the examinations. The Commis-
sion during the past year has
caught up on many examinations
which could not be held during the
war years,

YORK

CITY
20 Lieutenants
And 34 Firemen
To Be Sworn In

The Civil Service Commission
certified the Fire Lieutenant
(F.D.) promotion list on request
of Fire Commissioner Frank J.
Quayle, for additional promotions,
of which 20 will be made, effective
December 1. Also, the Fireman list
was certified at Mr. Quayle’s re-
quest and 34 appointments will be
made, for the same effective date.

Twelye eligibles already have
been promoted to Lieutenant, the
20 more bring the total to 32,

Eleven additional promotions to
Lieutenant would have been ar-
ranged, except that the service
papers of an eligible, a former
military officer, are in the Wash-
ington office of the Veterans Ad-
ministration, and preference en-
titlement can’t be decided by the
Commission until it receives a
report from the VA on this el-
igible. As soon as the report is
received, showing whether or not
he is entitled to disability prefer~
ence, if it is affirmative, he will
be promoted; if negative, the
next eligible. Then the 11 more
Promotions will go through and
10 more Fireman appointments.

Budget Director Thomas J. Pat-
terson felt that the delay in this
one instance was justified as a
protection to the city, because if
the city guessed wrong on the
VA outcome, an eligible not pro-
moted might be entitled to re-
troactive seniority and offer other
complications.

Induction Ceremony

Joseph J, Scanlan, Acting Dep-
uty Chief, in Charge of Office,
said that the new appointees and
promotees would be sworn in at
ceremonies at Engine Company
31, Lafayette and White Streets,
on Friday, November 28. Commis-
sioner Quayle will address the
group. The Fireman eligibles are
being given medical reexamin-
ations now.

Fire School Operation

‘The probationers will be as-
signed to fire houses and, as va-
cancies in the Probationary Fire-
men’s School occur, will attend
classes there, Even during such
attendance ‘they work between
Saturday morning and Sunday
morning in fire houses, and dur-
ing other days, when free of
class work, There are separate
morning and evening classes at
the school. The probationary per-
iod is six months and is required
by law. The schooling takes 30
working days.

Marine Engineer Prospects

Commissioner Quayle would like
to make promotions to Marine
Engineer, if the published list can
be promulgated in time, ‘effective.
also on December 1. There are
six vacancies. The Civil Service
Commission will try to get VA
reports back in time to enable Mr.
Quayle to request the necessary
budget certificates from Mr, Pat-
terson.

2 Transit Promotion
Lists Made Official

Two Board of Transportation
promotion eligible lists have been
promulgated by the NYC Civil
Service Commission. They are

sion, and Senior Accountant, Gen-
eral Administration.

Medical-Physical
Tests Much Improve

“Better medical and physical
tests are being given by NYC
than ever before,” said Paul M.
Brennan, Chief of the Medical-
Physical Bureau of the Municipal
Civil Service Commission. He will
complete 20 years of NYC service
on February 6 next,

After having completed a heavy
work load in the four Maintainer’s
Helper tests (A, B, C and D),
7,000 examined, and Surface Line
Operator test, 5,800 examined, the
Bureau has started work on the
Trackman candidates, and will end
this on December 31. What comes
next isn’t certain; possibly Social
Investigator, rather than Rail-
road Clerk, because of the urgent
need of the Welfare Department
for that list. If the Transporta-
tion test is given the green light,
it will require all of January,

Mr. Brennan said that increased
knowledge, because of scientific
research, and actual field exper-
ience have caused the improve-
ment. Incidentally, the 40-year-
old eyesight test boards and the
dim lighting of them are gone;
in their place are neat clear
letter-number placards and fluor-
escent lighting.

Improvements, he recalled, in-
clude the pack run, substituted
in the recent Patrolman (P.D,)
test, for the mile run, as a
measure of muscular endurance,
rather than the cardio-vascular
strain of the long run. In the
new test the candidate carries on
his outside shoulder a 70-Ib. pack
around a 176-yard course. The
rating is 100 per cent for com-
pletion in 27 seconds to zero for
45 seconds or longer. Recovery is
fast from the exertions of the
pack run, The same test will be
given in the new Fireman exam,
applications for which are to be
issued during February or March,

Patrolman candidates did well
in the pack run, but only 40 out
of 5,000 got 100 per cent in
another new test, called strength
pectorals. In this—also to be in-
cluded in the Fireman physicals—
