DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE
ON OLD AGE SECURITY?

I SUPPOSE there are people in the United States
who understand the U. S. Social Security laws, in all
their ramifications and involvements. I don’t.

I know there are people in New York State who
understand the State’s responsibilities under the Federal
Social Security laws and regulations. I am not one of these.

With this confession of ignorance, I wish to answer
some inquiries about H.R. 6000, a bill before Congress
which of immense significance to all public employees
; in New York State.

The Federal Social Security Law includes a nation-
wide retirement system known as Old Age and Survival
Insurance. Amendments to this ‘title are under consider-
ation in the U, S. Senate in hearings ‘before the Senate,
Finance Committee,

Extension — And Duplication

Personally,/I favor the extension in coverage and
the liberalization in benefits under the Social Security
System. I do not believe in the duplication of existing
machinery or benefits already existing under State Law.
The bill provides that any state may request the Social
Security Administration to include public employees of
the State and its political subdivisions under the Old Age
and Survival Insurance plan, Before becoming effective in
states with a retirement item, the employees must
approve the proposed inclusion by a 2/8 vote’ in a ref-
erendum.

If the bill is passed, it would be possible far the
after a referendum, to ask the

Gov-
administration of
ederal Security to include some or all State and/or munici-

vision, Second Department handed
down its decision: the findings of
the Yonkers administration, that
the employees had violated the
Condon-Wadlin law, were de-
clared invalid. The ruling of the
court was unanimous.

Said the court:

“Violation of Section 22-a of
the Civil Service Law may be es<
tablished only by proof that pers

sons charged with such violation /

failed to respond for duty, or wil«
fully absented themselves from
their positions, or effectuated a
stoppage of work or abstained in
whole or in pert from the full,
faithful and proper performance
of the duties of their employment,
for the purpose of inducing, in~
fluencing or coercing a change in
the conditions or compensation of
the rights, privileges or obliga.
tions of their employers.

“The record in this ease not
only does not present any evi«
dence whatever of any such purs
pose . . . but, on the contrary,
such evidence as was adduced
establishes that the proven acts
and conduct of the petitioners
were motivated by entirely dif-
ferent reasons which was innocent
of any violation of the statute,
its intent or purpose.”

Court Gives ‘Way Out’

The law is dealt a sharp blow
in this decision, showing a way out
to other employees who may de~
sire to go on strike.

Municipal authorities and others
pointed out, while the Condon-

Wadlin legislation was under con-
sideration in the Legislature, that
it was inevitably unenforceable in
many communities.

MUST Bills Before
The Legislature

he 55-year retirement bill has passed both houses of

the State Legislature, ana the Governor has promised
that he will sign it. : :

But this far from concludes the needs of civil service
employees. A number of additional bills have moved
forward, and are listed elsewhere in this issue, Many of
these are destined for passage. |

There are four measures which require the most |
active attention of State and county public employees if
they are not to die in the last days of the legislative
session. They are:

A bill providing one extra increment after an em-
ployee has been at the maximum of his grade for 5 yea
a second after 10 years, and a third after 15 years,
maximum not to exceed $4,002. (Introduced by Senator |
McKennan and Assemblyman Foy. Sen. Intro. 1127, Pr.
1164, Assem. Intro. 1688, Pr. 1734.) °

A bill providing that all employees in the competi-
tive class shall have the right to a hearing when charges
are preferred, the right to counsel, and the right to sum-
mon witnesses. (Introduced by Senator Delessandro and
Assemblyman Foy. Senate Intro. 2331, Pr. 2541, Assem. |
Intro, 1687, Pr. 1733.)

A bill amending the present law to broaden unem-
ployment insurance coverage for public employees by
extending such coverage to per diem employees and
those employed less than one year. (Introduced by Sen-
ator Halpern and Assemblyman Knauf. Sen. Intro. 1540,
Pr. 1663; Assem. Intro. 1204, Pr. 1221.)

A bill permitting a member of the retirement sys-
tem who leaves the service after 5 y for any reason
to leave his contributions on deposit and have pension
credit vested to produce deferred retirement allowance
at age 55 or 60, depending on which age the plan member
has elected. (Introduced by Senator Halpern and Assem-
blyman Noonan. Sen. Intro. 1242, Pr. 1290; Assem. Intro,
1617, Pr. 1662.

These are moderate measures. They ought to be
marked MUST on the calendar of every legislator. Em-
ployee units should communicate with their legislators,
by telegram, immediately. Do the same with reference
to any other civil service measure in which you are in-
terested,

Don't Resign
Under Pressure!

HE

is evidence that some State employees have occa-

sionally been asked to resign under compulsion, It is

important that no employee s

ticcumb to pressure for com-

pulsory summary resignation. If charges are preferred,
then something can be done, but if you sign away your right

to the job, then reinstatement

is practically impossible.

DON'T REPEAT THIS

es

(Continued from Page 1)
would not be easy to accept defeat
if it should come. Why should he
take that risk?

A Bitter Battle

A risk is there always. No one
denies that the coming State bat-
tle wilk be a bitter one. The Demo-
crats want control, and will fight
hard to get it, seeing it within
reach. If Mr. Dewey, as GOP can-
didate, is defeated, he loses some-
thing more: he loses his power in
his party, and is wiped out as an
important factor in State or na-
tional politics.

‘The Family

There is evidence that his fam-
ily would like him to devote more
attention home. His sons are

rowing up, one of them will soon
leave for college. The family can
hardly be anxious to have him
stand up again in the tough, slug-
ging lists of a New York State
gubernatorial battle.

The Money Question

If Dewey retires now, he does
so with honor, and is able to make}
for himself a significant place in
private industry or in the practice
of law. Mr. Dewey is not a wealthy
man; and more than one of his
associates has urged that he “go
out and make some money.” It is
a temptation which a man, must
consider,

elections, he has regained as high
@ prestige as he has ever had.
Quite apart from agreement or
disagreement on principles, he has
earned the reputation in all sec-

governor.
Compelling Motives

He is an ambitious man. The in-
toxicant of power is a heady one.
How shall a man give it up? It is

tons and get things done, to per-
form in an arena so vast, the de-
sire to go down in the history
books as “important”—these are
matters which can become com-
pelling human motives. It is
doubtful whether Mr. Dewey
would want to leave politics.

The National Scene

And this has nothing to do with
the question of the presidency in
1952. It may be taken as certain
that Mr. Dewey fs not thinking of
this, and that his associates have
given up any hope in the possibil-
ity of achieving this aim, But to
remain prominently before the
public beyond 1952—that is im-
portant. If a Republican is elected
in that year, other possibilities
than the Presidency, possibilities
on the national scene, open up to
Mr, Dewey, And from this nation-
al scene there is always the view
across the chasm to 1956.

But to enter this panamora

Is It Worth While? ~
In eight Albany years, a man as|
dynamic, hard-headed and forth-}
right as Governor Dewey create:
many antagonisms, many animosi-|
ties, Persons in his own party
snipe at him constantly. The po-|
litical pressures are terrific, and|
to resist them is always a problem. |
A man must sit down in the quiet
of night, occasionally, and ask
himself: “Why? What am I get-
ting out of this? Is it worth it?” |
These are the negatives, But
like a debate in court, it is only|
one side of the case.

and to help mould its form, it is
necessary to be on the fringes of
it now. It is necessary to be able.
to control New York State's elec-
toral votes at the next Presidential
convention, Those 47 votes are 47
powerful bargaining points, and
may enable the naming of the
GOP candidate. As Governor, Mr.
Dewey could contro] those votes.
Not as ex-Governor. And not even
as U. 8, Senator.

If he steps out of office, and into
private industry, seeking to amass

a lot of money, who knows how to)

STATE AND COUNTY NEWS

The firing of civil service em~-
Ployees by the City of Schenec-
tady will not “down.” The matter
is roiling in the City itself, and
repercussions have been felt in all
parts of the State.

The LEADER is able to say au-
thoritatively that one of the lead-
ing Democratic State Senators has
undertaken to bring the matter to
the attention of State Democratic
Chairman Paul E. Fizpatrick, The
legislator feels that the Demo-
cratic administration in Schenec-
tady has handed the Republicans
a campaign issue, and he feels
that the dismissals cannot be jus-
tified. It is understood that_he will
present this view to Mr. Fitzpat-
rick and urge that the State Com-
mittee indicate to the Schenectady
administration how serious this is-
sue is considered politically.

Economy?

In the City itself, the original
“economy” motive, given out as
the reason for the firings, seems
to have fallen flat, with more new
employees hired than the number
dismissed. A check made by the

Few State E mployees

Found to Have T. B.

ALBANY, March 13 Dr. Herman E. Hilleboe, State health
commissioner, reported Jast week that a total of 11,571 non-institu-
tional state employees received free chest x-ray examinations in the
Albany phase of the statewide State employee chest x-ray campaign,

Chest x-raying of the state employees in New York City and on
Long Island started February 20 and ts nearly finished. Approximately
11,000 have taken part in the Metropolitan area so far.

130 employees in Albany were re-x-rayed and studied because
their original x-ray plates either showed shadows suggestive of
tuberculosis, or were unsatisfactory,

Followup examinations showed that of the 66 Albany employees
with either definite or suspected tuberculosis, 10 are considered as
Probably active cases, 50 probably inactive cases, and six, considered
as suspicious, are deemed to require further x-ray, laboratory and
clinical study, Dr, Hilleboe said. Of the 10 probably active cases,
three were already known, having been reported previously, Seven are
considered to be newly discovered tuberculosis cases, two of which
are now receiving hospital care,

In addition to the 66 cases of either definite or suspected tuber-
culosis, another 73 employ were found to have abnormal chest
conditions, other than tuberculosis, imeluding heart and circulatory
diseases, which indicated the need for medical advice and supervision,

The project is slated to get under way in Utica and Rochester
today, and in Syracuse and Buffalo, March 20. These locations rep=
resent the points of the largest concentrations of state employees,
outside of the Albany and New York City areas. Binghamton, Elmira,
and Poughkeepsie may be included in the survey.

The survey is being conducted, on an entirely voluntary basis, by
the State Health Department, with the cooperation of the Personnel
Council. It is part of the state's long-range program aimed at the
eventual eradication of tuberculosis in New York.

WASHINGTON, March 13—
Seeking a high-grade Federal job?

In the future, you may get p
thorough going-over via a “per-
sonal” examination.

The U. 8, Civil Service Commis-
sion is setting up a research proj-
ect to find out how effective such
investigations are in revealing
qualifications for a civil service
job. In a “personal” probe the
candidate's background gets lots
of attention—not only his educa-
tion, but the people he worke:

Tipping?
Tsk, Tsk, Tsk!

Tipping of city employees tends
to lower the prestige of public em-
ployment,

This was the conclusion of the
Philadelphia Bureau of Municipal
Research which investigated the
problem recently, As a result of
the bureau's study, Philadelphia's
register of wills has forbidden his
employees to seek or accept tips
of any kind.

Part of the

ate,

favors, the study pointed out. “In-
sofar as the average it for
a permit or Tense in concerned.

however, the tipping custom
insult to injury. Tipping inevitably
penalizes the Fagen who fails to
tip’ and since the equal protection
of the law is a basic principle of
American justice, the practice
should be banned.”

The only way to curb the tip-
ping abuse is for the offering of
tips by citizens and the acceptance
of the tips by officials and employ-
ees to be prohibited, both by ordi-
nance and by administrative ac-
tion, the Bureau concluded.

PORT OF EMBARKATION

ANCHOR CLUBS

“written tests and the applicants’
statements of experience do not
provide a basis for adequate eval-
uation of such qualities as success
in public contacts, ability to pro-
mote high working morale, and
effectiveness as a leader.”

In 1939, most high-grade posi-
tions were exempt from civil serv-
ice. But the Rampspeck Act of
1940 put the majority of these
posts under the provisions of the
Civil Service Act. Many more ex-
ams for the higher-paying jobs
have to be held now.

In the Commission's research
project, the value of investigations
in various types of examinations
will be checked by comparing the
standings of competitors rated]
solely on information shown in}
their applications with their)
standings after they have been|
rated on the basis of facts gath-|
ered by the probers.

YMCA Cop Test

More than 500 candidates for the
coming Patrolman mental exami-
nation took review tests at five
YMCA Civil Service Institute
branches Saturday, March 4.

After taking the simulated men-
tal exams, the candidates were
divided into sections where they
obtained help in solving questions
they had failed. The event, spon-
sored by the Institute as a public
service, was free to both students
and non-students, Similar review
tests will be held Saturday, March

| Successful Candidates
The Police Academy located in
Brooklyn is the next step for suc-
cessful candidates. Here they will
be given a six-month intensive
training course which also serves
as a probationary period. If any of
them fail to show a genuine ap-
titude for police work while taking
part in the training program they
will be dropped from the list. At
the Police Academy they study law,
scientific crime detection, judo,
fingerprinting, target shooting and
telegraph and radio operation.

ably not be released before Janu-
ary, 1951—the physicals won't be

subject to litigation.

List Likely to Be Used Up

If Police Commissioner William
P. O'Brien's request for 20,000
more policemen passes the Board
of Estimate, the eligible list will
be used up long before its four-
year life is over, But this depends
entirely on the status of the bud-
get. Por example, $800,000 must
be added to the budget for every
200 cops appointed. This is only
the initial expenditure. For 200
additional patrolmen there must
be appointed 20 additional serg~
eants, and more lieutenants and
captains. Altogether, nearly a mil-
lion dollars is involved in the ap-
| paintment of only 20 policemen.

Seniority

Two NYC firemen who served in
the armed forces, and had gained)
[ PReceden da seniority as a result,

were informed last week that this |
additional advantage fs rescinded. |
The seniority would have given
them additional credit on promo-
tion examinations and for other
purposes,

Reason for withdrawing the se-
niority was; When serving in the
armed forces, the men were under |
21, and would therefore have been |
ineligible for Fire Department)
Jobs, If the additional seniority!

had been allowed to stand, it
would have meant that giving the
men credit for a period that they

on the grounds that the cost would
be too heavy.

The $17,000,000 reserves would
be dissipated in a year, if the re-
quest were granted, ahd there
would be an “eventual” direct cost
to the City of $30,000,000 a year,

Council

Crane’s View
| “Obviously, said President
Crane, “the Commission didn’t

study the matter thoroughly, or
review our case, or it wouldn't
have made such a statement.”

“The Commission must have
been reaching sixty years ahead to
get a $30,000,000 cost figure, and
applied that cost to the second
year of operation of the proposed
plan.

“The Commission shows partic-
ular lack of concern for the effi,

which depends greatly on the
morale of the fire-fighters. That
morale would be immeasurably en-
hanced, with even greater effi-
ciency of operation, if the pension
bills were adopted,”

arton’s View

President Carton said that the
City is benefiting by $12,000,000 a
year by having 6,000 Policemen
stay on the job who are eligible
to retire and who are thus, in ef-
fect, working for half pay. He
added that the City's own actu-
aries reported the first year cost
for Policemen would be only $1,-
824,000 for the 8,000 appointed
since 1940,

“If these professional reform
groups had their way they'd suc-
ceed in demoralizing every cop in
the City,” remarked President
Carton.
