Lieut Gov. Moore Lists
‘Helpful Guides’ to Govern
Conduct, Influence Action
ALBANY, May 28—"The prim-
ary purpose of government is to
meet the needs of the people, not
to provide jobs for you and me,”
Lieutenant Governor Prank C.
Moore said inst week im an
address to the Eastern Regional
Conference of the Civil Service
Assembly, beld in Albany.
Reminding his audience that
civic patriotism is as important
as patriotism for war, the Licu-
tenant Governor set forth = list
of rules for the public servant
which he said had been develop-
ed during his 31 years service to
State and local government,
He cited these as helpful guides
which could govern conduct and
influence official actions:
1. Pay attention to detalls—
good government like good house-
keeping ls the sum total of doing
each separate thing well
2. Don't be afraid te try
something new—even our consti-
tution ts subject to change.
3. Don't be afraid of making
a mistake. You can correct any
mistake except the dishonest one
Attacking @ Problem
4. In attacking «= problem,
keep your eye on the ultimate and
don't worry too much about the
immediate, Seek the assistance
of top-notch people, You'll find
them willing to help.
5. Don't be afraid te admit
you don't know the answer. Get
your facts straight—they may in-
dicate the answer.
6. Seek out the tough

their accomplishment.

Sal Disparity
John J. y. Jr, tosistant
sounsel for the CSEA, appearing
for the enginovry, stressed the fact
that the entire diMiculty of re-
lacement and recruitment ts
by one major factor—the
salary disparity between State
@nd other employers.
In his statements, following the
» Milling of the brief fied with the
Department,
“There is on wand will con- |neers, nevertheless low pay ia off
tinue to be for a number of years,
an insufficient number of Y.
ed.”
7. Remember that big prob.
Jems in government usually are
solved by s combination of meth-
ods rather than « single spectacu-
lar device.
8. Don't promise more than
you know you can perform It’s
cruel to inspire hopes you can't
full
When You're Opposed
9, If you're against something,
be open in your opposition.
10. If you want to sell an idea,
paint a mural, not a miniature.
11. Don't be impatient. Some-
times, you must have a geologist’
concept of time,
12. Contentment may be all
right for cows, but progress in
government depends upon a cer-
tain amount of dissatisfaction with
the quality of the job you are
doing.
Give Loyalty
13. If you expect loyalty, give
it to your subordinates, your as-
associates and to the people you
serve.
14. Don't hog all the credit or
worry about getting your share
of the publicity. If you are doing
& good job, it will be discovered.
Lieutenant Governor Moore also
called for an effort on the part
of the public servant to help the
people understand government
by abandoning the use of "depart-
ment lingo or officiaiese that
transforms a perfectly simple sub-
Ject into Ianguage incomprehen-
sible to the awe-stricken by-
stander,”
He declared that by eliminating
obstacles such as this, much can
be done to promote cititen un-
derstanding and participation in
their government

Politics
On Way Out
STUMBLEBUM politics is om
the way out It isn't going to be
possible very much longer in New
York City and in New York State
to folst upon the people third-
raters whose only interests are
| themselves and their cronies. In-
evitably, it ts still possible to fool
particularly when their
natural idealism is played upon,
But it ts becoming increasingly
diMcult. In a certain very deep
sense, the people are becoming
wiser,
One Sign
One of the signs of this is the
beginning of rumbiing noises for
a code of ethics for government,
The Increasing importance of pub-
lic service in American life, and
the startling political informa~
tion revealed in recent months,
are bringing on a demand for de-
cent rules of conduct among
electedand appointed officials,
What should be contained in @
public service code of ethics?
Standards of Conduct
Pirst, a cardinal principle must
be that a public servant is just
that—a person is In public office
for only one reason—to serve the
public, Out of this principle come
certain obvious standards,
A public servant must be re.
sponsible to all the people, not te
ny special Interests,
‘There must be no peddling «
bartering of public Jobs.
A public servant must be pre
pared to challenge and expose
misdeeds, no matter what the
consequences,
A public servant must realise
that he is not out for his own
benefit but advances only on the
basis of the quality of the work
he gives.
A public servant must never
accept a reward of any kind
from any source for any service
rendered.
These principles may sound
elementary—but the ten com-
mandments are a simple documens
too.
The Stumblebum
Opposed to such a code of
ethics, we have the stumbiebum
in politics, the fellow who sub-
scribes to only one code—take
anything you can get your hands
on, including a hot stove; whose
LQ. Is judged by the number of
times his picture appears in ti
paper; who hides his ignorance
and yenality behind « curt, "No
comment”; who cynically tears up
his campaign promises the day
after election.

there ls perhaps more than broad
humor in the idea—that an auto-
matic fine of $100, payable to the

Light Shed on Pending Improvements
At 3-Day Civil Service Assembly Session
ALBANY, May 28—What for-
ward strides are being taken in
civil service, and how the near
future promises to develop new
and better methods and lift the
merit system to a higher plane
than ever, were highlighted at the
annial Eastern Regional Confer-
ence of the Civil Service Assem~-
biy of the United States and
Canada, held three days last week
at the DeWitt Clinton Hotel,
The luncheon, dinner and panel
dincussions, as well as the annual
anecting itself, gave insight into
the new accomplishments in the
offing:
1, New examining methods, in-
eluding round-table interviews of
candidates.
2. Better development of per-
sonnel administration, through
recognition of the need of at least
an experienced personnel techni-
clan in each department or agency
and in sizeable divisions thereof,
preventing causes of many griev-
ances and Improving work qual-
ity and quantity.
Better Methods Sought
3. Bronder employee service pro-
grams, for maximum employee
morale,
4. Action to achieve sounder
¢lansifications, which give the Jobs
their proper titles and describe
the duties accurately, along with
suituble pay schedules. Growing
sentiment was shown for a “half-
a-loaf” policy
¢iassification or reclassification
Would entail greater coat that the
fiscal ngency would care to de-
fray.
5. Amaressive recruitment polt-
eiex. expeciaily in the face of a
teht labor market.
6. Need for central incentive to

Pride in State
Institutions
Voiced at
Panel Session
ALBANY, May 26—Willlam FP.
McDonough, executive assistant
to the president of the Civil Ser-
Yice Employees Association, vig-
orously advanced sound applica-
tion of the merit system as a solu-
tion for the majority of personnel
problems among public institu-
tional employees. He was & mem-
ber of a panel on “Problems of
Personnel Administration for In-
stitutional Employees" at the
Bastern Regional Conference of
the Civil Service Assembly.
Mr, McDonough took issue with
the statement that the sole an-
swer to the present problem was
more money,
‘The chairman was Raymond F,
Male, director of personnel for
the New Jersey Department of
Institutions and Agencies.
L Cause for Pride
Mr, McDonough cited the tre-
mendous geowth of public atten-
tion to institutional care for the
mentally ill, delinquents and other
Groups, and the substantial im-
provements in personnel adminis-
tration and employment practices
fn institutions in New York State.
‘I'd Uke to recommend our
classification and — institutional
system to the world,” said Mr,
McDonough, “We're in a remark-
able situation as to competitive
status of employees in New York
State institutions, And whenever
competitive lists have broken down
it ts because of low salaries, There
is not a position outside of policy~
making joby in our institutional
system which can not be suc
fully competitive.”
t Nine-Point Program
Mr, McDonough declared that
140,000 persons were being cared
for in State hospitals and insti-
tutions by 30,000 State employees.
Deciaring that “we have not
gone the whole way in applying
merit system principles,” he urg-
ed that progressive planning be
directed to:
1. Placing a trained personnel
Administrator in eagh institution
to insure full attention to merit
system practices.
2. Complete duties classification,
covering all institutional posi-
tions, and insistence that workers
mot be employed out of title.
3. Adequate salaries with due
regard for the hazards and en-
vironment in such employment.
4. Porty-hour, five-day week,
with voluntary o me work per-
mitied and with pay for such
overtime.
5, Provision of modern living
quarters and good quality food
where employees are required to
live within the Institution.
6, Pair bealth and vacation
leaves
b 7. Hearings on dismissals and
pound grievance machinery.
9. Retirement after 25 years of
service at half salary.
L Backs Pension Goal
' “Our retirement system for In-
stitutional employees needs im-
provement,” said Mr. McDonough,
*It is not too much to ask for
retirement at half pay for men
and women who have given 26
Years of their lives to work within
prison and institutional walls,
caring for the less fortunate. The
Civil Service Employees Associ
tion is wholeheartedly In back of
this demand.”

topic proved wide. Even the elu-
sive definition came into the
open: "Morale is what's necessary
for an employee to do a good job.”
Some of the auxiliaries to morale
are government conducted, but in
other cases the employees do their
own share through their organiza-
tions, sald Jesse B. McParland,
president, the Civil Service Em-
ployees Association, Another
comparable president, Frank
Walker, of the New Jersey Civil

and seniority about equal to that

of the Associa-

Mr, McParland also told of how

through their careers to establish
in the public mind the correct
conception of their value to the
people they serve, and pos-

of the rest of the community,
Messrs. Shaw and Hallstrom
told how employees in their juris-
dictions also try to pick up the
chips where the government has
left them, In Canada, for instance,
taxpayers have no enthusiasm for
tennis courts or baseball diamonds
for public employees, no matter
how far from centers of activity
their place of employment may be.
Mr, McParland told how such
courts exist in at New York State
institutions which are located in
far-off places, for the quiet and
the broad acreage that are need-
ed for the patients, and how pub-
lic_reaction is favorable.
Connecticut, said Mr. Hallstrom,
goes in for Main Streets at isola-
ted places, such nsx locations of
institutions, the appellation de-
scribing small shopping and en-
tertainment centers, where em-
ployees may join their visiting
friends In a little refreshment and
relaxation,
‘The question of communica-
tions was earnestly discussed. Mr.
Walker told in detall of how his
association had received practi-
cally no publicity, and had been
unable to make much progress,
until it had contracted with
publisher to provide an official or-
gan. Published weekly, the organ
is sent, on a subscription basis, to
all the members of his associa-
tion, some 25,000, he said, and
part of the dues defrays the cast.
Ry presenting thelr arguments

have won far greater respect for
the validity of thetr causes and

er explained. He thought it far

tion of @ house organ.
‘LEADER Very Helpful’
Commenting on the two asso-
elations’ publicity channels, Mr.
Walker said: “They have The
LEADER and we have The Shield,
so we have the same idea as Mr.
McFarland. Before we had The
Shield it was impossible to spread
the news. The newspapers wouldn't
print our side, or would print only
two or three inches about us. Now
we keep the public abreast of civil
service news, acquaint it with
our problems and safeguard the
merit system through our official
organ, We have accomplished
things that would have been im-
possible without the ald of our
Paper, No doubt you have had the
same experience with The LaZAD-
ER, Mr. McFarland.”
“The LEADER has been very
helpful," replied Mr, McFarland.
‘The various activities of the Asso-
ciation in disseminating tnforma-
tion were” explained by Mr. Mc~
Parland, They include talks be-
fore chapter and Association Re-
gional Conference meetings, and |
the annual meetings of the Asso-
elation itself. A public relations
Program, use of newspaper, radio
outlets, and also the steady
stream of informative and stimu-
lating Uterature that goes forth
to the local officers were men-
tioned.
Auxilary activities as investi-
and making comparative studies
of costs and benefits, are waged
for members, Mr. McFarland
went on, The Association also
offers a Group Life Insurance
Policy, as well as a Sickness and
Accident Insurance policy, te
members.
On the government-activity side
Mr. McParland mentioned the new
grievance machinery set up by the
State, and praised the nobility of
the chairman of the Personnel
| Relations Board, Allen 5. Hub-
bard, Jr, While the program is
new, and experience may dictate
the necessity of some changes, it
should be given a fair trial, Mr,
McFarland added,
He also talked about the State
Personnel News, published by the
State, and found it chatty and
informative, but unusually alert in
detecting Administration achieve-
ments.
Henry Galpin, the new salary
research consultant of the Asso-
¢lation, a member of the audience,
commented that communication
was in three directions, up, down
and across, meaning that it came
from the officials to the employees,
also in the opposite direction, and
cut across the entire public. He
felt that the type of service such
as The LEADER renders was most
valuable because of its success im
covering all levels, while the em-
ployer-operated type of communi
cation usually proved less inter~
esting and convincing.
ALBANY, May 28—The obstacle
of cost, that blocks so many re-
classification projects, and even
| prevents the introduction of a
| classification system where none
now exists, should be faced
squarely by the legislative au-
| thorities of local government, said
Jesse B. McFarland, president of
the Civil Service Employees Asso-
ciation. He was one of the princi-
pal speakers at a panel discussion
of “Problems of the One-Man
Agency.” Many of the “one-man”
species, from towns and counties,
participated in the discussion,
part of the three-day program of
the Eastern Regional Conference
of the Civil Service Assembly,
The meeting was held at the Ho-
tel DeWitt Clinton,
Delays
“The Board of Supervisors or
the Common Council, when con-
| fronted with the problem of cost,”
|said Mr. McFarland, “is likely to
| throw even the most excellent
classification plan into the basket.

Basic Problems
Of Civil Service
HE © sembly, an organization consisting
of people who d with government personnel matters,
met in Albany last week
For three da the group discuss civil service mat-
ters. Its deliberations have sufficient interest to merit wide
coverage in this of The LEADER. By all the usual
standards, it was a successful meeting. There was discussion

merit system is so widely violated that we should have wel-

Why do so many competent men and women refuse to
q@oter government service?
There was nothing about labor relations in govern-
ment. Yet we know well enough, from direct experience, how
impertant it is to seek answers for the problems in this
sensitive field,
The usual problems were competently discussed. But it
seems to us that the Civil Service Assembly must learn to
face fundamental problems in a more fundamental way, if
is to become a strong force in the field of government.

The UPA president added that

Increase in fees is one answer

Pursuant to this recommendation,
the board of trustees of the pen-
sion fund retired the employee on
October
if the retirement is for a service-
incurred disability, the board of
trustees must allow a pension of
not less than three-fourths of an-
nual salary on the date of retire~
ment. On November 22, 1950, the
hoard met and considered two
resolutions—one granting retire~
ment at #4 pay, the other at %
pay. Both resoiutions failed to
passage by & close margin, The
retired employee asked for an ex-
tract of the minutes of the meet-
ing, but was told by the board's
secretary that “I regret to inform
You that compliance with your re-
Quest is impossible for the reason
that such extract is confidential
and can only be divulged on sub-
Poena as provided by law.”
Thereupon the employee ap.
ied to the Supreme Court in New
ark County for an order com~-
pelling the board of trustees to
grant him a pension of at least %
pay, His contention was that the
board of trustees had nothing be-
fore it but the conclusion of the
medical board that his disability
occurred in the line of duty and
that the refusal to allow him a
pension, based on such disability
was, in the circumstances,
trary and capricious,
Guess May Be Wrong
The court, in considering this
argument, pointed out that:
1, In view of the letter from the
secretary, any assertion that the
board of trustees had nothing
more before it except the medi-
cal board's report was a mere sur-

ALBANY, May 28—Non-teach-

of the State do not have civil ser-
vice protection. Working hours,
vacation and sick leave, holidays,
ete, are entirely at the discretion
of the individual Boards of Edu-
cation.
A survey made by the Munici-
Service Division, a branch of
the State Civil Service Department
reveals the following facts about
the working conditions of non-
teaching employees:
HOURS: Clerical employees of
& schoo! district appear to work
from 35 to 44 hours per week.
with = probable average of 40
hours. Custodial employees usually
OVERTIME: Most school dis-
tricta have set hours of employ-
ment for both their clerical and
custodial employees. Most school
districts provide for either over-
time pay or time off, in the event
that overtime work {fs required.
Res action i not mandatory,
ver,
VACATIONS: Most school dis
tricts grant two weeks of vaca-
tion per year to clerical and the
custodial employees. In a few dis-
tricts, clerical employees are al-
lowed four weeks of vacation per
year,
SICK LEAVE: Many districts
have regulations whereby employ-
@es are allowed six to ten days per

year leave with pay. In some dis-
trict the sick leave ts allowed to
accumulate, if unused; in others
it is not, but is forfetted at the

tricts have no regulations for
non-teaching employees, but make

PBA Contesting 30-Day
Pension Bill in Court
announcement that the
Patrons Beorvolent Associa-
tion was contesting in court the
law provides that members of the
uniformed force of the Police De~
partment, who became members
tor to 1940, must walt 30 days
fore the application for retire-
ment can be made effective. The
20-day wait applies to members
appointed since 1940, under ex-
isting Taw.
The objection is based on a
section of the State constitution
which provides that pension bene-
fits are contractun! and shall not
be impaired or diminished.
The bill took effect on May 7,
applicable only to the Police De-
partment. Other bills passed by
the Council would include mem~-
bers of the uniformed force of
the Pire and Sanitation Depart-
ments, as well as certain em-
ployees of the Health Depart.

Lieutenant Pehling gave the
history of the pension Jaw and

City must not violate, and that
requiring a 30-day wait, where
none was required in the original
nw, would constitute such « vio-
Intion, He asked that the Board

An Example
Let's get down to cases. In New
York City—to cite an example—
there is soon to be an election
for President of the City Council,
and not too long after that an-
other election for Mayor. Let's
apply our developing code of
othics to real.life matters:
Por one thing, the man in pub-
Ne office must be careful of the
company he keeps. He must
choose his men with full respect
for merit and the merit system,
He must be prepared to estab-
lish modern labor relations in
municipal government, and pay
salaries that will attract compe-
tent personnel
He must face current problems
firmly. He must know that the
sales tax increase fs inequitable in
every respect, He must apply
imagination and vision to intri-
cate financial problems, and plan
|to solve them, not expecting that
Jald worn-out formulas will al-
|e do the trick.
He must recognize that New
York can no loni ontinue to
grow haphazardly. There is a
shortage of good city planners. One
jway to remedy this ix to estab.
| lish courses in City Planning in
the municipal colleges. Maybe
then, among other thin the de-
vastating city traffic problems will
become unsn
He must do e about hous- |
ing, more for the Negroes, more
for slum-dwellers, more for yet-
erans living pre jously with In-
|inwa or in ramshackle huts loft
over from World War Il. He must
find ways to make it ® cleaner
City, free from smoke and smog
and ‘dirt underfoot
And he must be aware of the
civil rights of all Now Yorkers—
perhaps even consider setting up
a civil rights bureau in the offices
of the yarious District Attorneys
|or, better perhaps, in the Depart-
|mént of Investigation.
‘The people would respond. to
such m program and give their
| officials the confidence and affec-
|tion that up till now has been
i missing.
