help restore the purchasing power

the consequent further reduction

“Association representatives have

died on January 4 after a long
illness.

Mr, Doyle was one of the lead-

Conference

ALBANY, Jan. %—In_ these
times when destructive criticism
of all phases of government seems
to be a common practice, the rec-
ord of the New York State Em.
ployees’ Merit Award Board sho
something else again! Here is a
Board serving without any com-
pensation whatever, that held 52
meetings in 1951 to examine em-
Ployees’ ideas for increasing ef-
ficiency and economy in State
government,

The Board reviewed and evalu-
ated 843 proposals submitted
through the State's Suggestion
Program, of which 179 were ad~-
judged meritorious. Cash awards
ranging from $25 to $400 totaling
$5,535, were granted to 99 em-
ployees, Certificates of Merit were
conferred on 80. Annual savings to
the State from these practical
ideas are estimated at $76,620.00
for 1951, bringing total economies
since inauguration of the Pro-
gram in 1946 to over a half mil-
lion dollars,

Ideas on Many Subjects

Ideas came from all corners of
the State on a limitless number of
subjects,

‘The top award of $400,00 went
to a Canal Section Superintendent
for suggesting that steel instea@
of wooden fenders be used to pro~
tect the lock gates. His good
thinking saves about $5,000 a
year.

CIVIE SERVICE LEADER

Once Again the Battle Rises—

Patronage vs

ITOR, THE LEADER:

‘The reprinting of the New York
Sunday Times Magazine article by
Robert Moses in your issue of
Dec .18 ,1951 is typical of the ef-
forts of the Civil Service Leader to
direct serious attention to the need
for a change in attitude of politi-
cal, social and economic leaders in
our society toward the selection of
civil servants.

In view of the fact that the
merit system is a wholly sound
plan and the result of the best}
thinking of the best statesmen the |
nation has ever produced, and fur-
ther that it is mandated in the
New York State Constitution,
seems good reason for citizens
interested in good government to
insist that it be applied.

sense and to the morality present

‘Theodore Roosevelt and Grover
Cleveland, whose integrity and ef-
ficiency as public servants consti-
tute bright spots in the United
States history, established the

merit system in New York State.
Theodore Roosevelt well stated:

“The merit system of making ap- |

Pointments in public work is in
its essence as democratic and
American as the common school
system itself.” This opinion was
shared by Chief Justice Chari
Evans Hughes, when as Governor
of the State he declared the merit
system provision of the Constitu-
tion to be the greatest in that fine
bill of rights

in holding fast to a sound, def-

application of the single test of
merit and fitness for each job in
government is the best way for
any responsible appointing officer
to fulfill a great public trust. The
same principle should apply in
promotions and in the utilization
of every modern practice and fa-
cility desirable in any large pri-

Mr. Moses refers to the limita-
tions as to public office applying
to women, Catholics, Jews, Ne-
groes, Indians and other groups.
The impression ‘should not be
gained that this is true as to ap-
pointive offices in government ex
cept where the merit system is
disregarded. The merit tem
| overcomes and prevents favorit-
ism of any sort in the matter of
appointive positions. When
through manipulation and stretch-
Ing of the spirit and of the letter
of the State's constitutional man-

date and through failure to adopt
effective implementing laws, the
top appointive positions next to
the elected, and further down the
line, are deliberately placed out-
side the merit system plan and
made the meat for political pat.

ution of the offices and jobs in
government to party workers have
no use for the merit system. Those
elected or non-merit system ap-
pointed officials who, though
knowing that they may be in office
for even a short time, frequently
yield to their egoism and decide
that they can select better than
can be done through an impartial

experience and training of the
individual and his fitness for the
governmental test to which he

aspires,
Rigid System?

Mr, Moses refers to the extreme-
ly rigid, inflexible ,expanding merit
system. We cannot believe that he
deplores that this system seeks to
promote those who have served
well in the lower positions, That
is one of the soundest of policies.
There is nothing to limit any cap-
able citizen from entering gov-
ernment employment under a real
merit system if they prove by
reasonable tests that they are

ence. The merit system calls for
the dismissal from service of
those who do not measure up to
their jobs,

Of course, to attract to govern-
ment service there must be con-
fidence that the merit system will

but as to promotion, If our gov-
ernors, legislators, mayors, com-
mon councils, boards fo super-
visors, village boards and other
appointing officers do not rise to
the level of merit system prin-
ciples on appointmens and pro-
motions, and give concrete ex-
ample and proof of following the
merit plan, then the best among
the citizenry will not aspire to
enter public service, The thing
that discourages applicants now is
not the inflexibility but the flex-
ibility that permits political pat-
ronage and nepotism and other
like reprehensible influences to
excempt from fair tests many on
the responsible jobs in public
service in the various jurisdictions.
Outspoken friends of the merit
system frequently hamper and
make impossible its use by failing
to urge the funds necessary for
sound personnel administration,
Hampering the System
Everyone familiar with present
administration of the merit sys-
tem knows that delays in exam-
inations with consequent appoint-
ment for long periods of
provisionals; exemption of top jobs
from promotional opportunities:
retention of incompetents although
| their dismissal is an important
tenet of the merit system; lack
of sound personnel relations ma-
chinery for attention to employ-
nt problems; failure
d maintain sound cl
and salary plans; lack of atten-
tion to uniformly fair retirement
and other benefits, occur and re-
occur because merit system prin-
ciples and common sense employ-
ment policies are not applied as
they could and should be. The
people are grossly misled at the
present time into thinking that
the merit system is being applied,
Countless instances can be cited
to show that it has never been
fully or fairly applied.

|was enacted, a public employee}
who volunteered for such duty on
or after January 1, 1947, did so
at his own peril, He was not en-
titled to receive a leave of absenc:
Any such leave, subject
rules of the appropriate civil ser-
vice commission, was at the dis-
cretion of his apointing officer.
The reason tor this restriction on
jmandatory military leaves was that
|i the absence of hostilities, pub-
Ke employees should not be en-
couraged to leave their jobs at
qs Otherwise, many public jobs
could be filled only on a tempo-
jtary basis, pending the return of
the enlisted employee, This would
have presented a serious stafling
problem during the post-World
War II period, Accordingly, pub-
lic employees who enlisted or

duty between January 1, 1947 and

be deemed on military leaves of
absence. What then is their status?

If the rule of the appropiate
civil service commission is similar
to that of the State Civil Service
Commission and the employee re-
signed, he can be reinstated to
his job at the discretion of his

after his resignation. In comput-

Hearing In Absentia

This employee was given notice
of the hearing and secured an ad-
journment. However, he was un-
able to obtain leave from the
Canal Zone to enable his presence
at the adjourned hearing which
proceeded in his absence. Al-
though represented by counsel at
the first hearing, the employee
was not represented thereafter. In
June, 1951 the employee apparent-
ly appeared personally before the
Commissioner but was denied rein-
statement. Thereafter he brought
suit in the Supreme Court in New
York County to obtain reinstate-
ment or, at least, a rehearing.

The Court noted that the issue
|to be decided at the departmental
hearing was whether the employee
had been absent in voluntary or
ordered military service, To settle
this issue, the Police Commissioner
was not obliged to suspend the
hearing until an indefinite future
time when the employee would be
free to appear, This was particu-
larly so because “the facts and

cireumstances of the situation
were Well known to respondent
(police commissioner) and any

claim of ordered military service
would be based almost entirely on
documentation which could well

The record of the hearing,
according to the Court, disclosed
that the hearing was properly held
and that no ordered military ser-
vice could be shown.

Accordingly, the Court denied
the application for reinstatement
or rehearing. (O'Connor Vv. Mur-

Minimum Pensions
But How Minimum?

R. CHARLES C. DUBUAR, chairman of the Pension
Committe of the Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion, is on solid ground when he asks that the Mahoney
amendment to the State Constitution be given a broad,
rather than a narrow, interpretation. This amendment
enables the Legislature to place a floor below the pen-
sions of former public employees. The need and social
desirability of the amendment were amply demonstrated
during the two legislative sessions when it was considered
and passed. But Mr. Dubuar is worried lest the amendment
be emasculated, or effectiveness diminished, via the
route of niggardly interpretation.

Employers in private industry, and the Federal gov-
ernment itself, Mr. Dubuar points out, have increased the
retirement allowances of their pensioners in recognition
of the shrunken purchasing power of the dollar. New
York State and its localities must be at least equally fair.

Mr. Dubuar re-states the cases of the needy succinctly
and with force. They should have, he says, “first call on
any public funds available.” But he disagrees—rightly—
with any who may feel that enabling legislation should
aid only those in the most desperate financial straits,
since that would mean overlooking thousands of other
deserving pensioners whose lot is also an unhappy one.
The Mahoney amendment is sufficiently broad to make
compliance with Mr. Dubuar’s suggestions possible. In
fact, those who drafted and fought for passage of the
bill had in mind something better than a meager approx-
imation of public relief standards.

The State should give fullest assurance on this, in the
form of legislation that will be acceptable to the repre-
sentatives of employees and former employees.

NYC Civil Service Board
To Answer Kogel Charges

ALICE BASS

Merit Woman
HAVING started in NYC em-

Alice Bass is now in charge of

Portation, equivalent to the chief
clerk job in City departments.
She has done such an excellent
job that she has risen by promo-
tions and merit increases to $7,500.

Although she had been trained
as a stenographer, she took a
job with the NYC Department of
Water Supply, Gas & Electricity,
as clerk, first to the payroll de-
partment, where she spent five!
years. She rose to assistant per-|
sonnel clerk, and finally, after the
retirement of John C. Laffan, was
appointed to the top job. |

The Considerate Approach

Miss Bass has a way of getting
things done without getting into
the employees’ hair. When need!
arises, as it does more than sel-
dom, to put in long stretches of |
overtime, her staff rises to the}
occasion almost to a man or wo-
man, That happened last Sep-
tember and October, when all
hands worked until about 10 p.m.
5 nights a week, to cope with the}
vast task in connection with the
transition from a 48-hour week to
& 44-hour or 40-hour week.
Finally, by July 1, 1953, the 40-|
hour week will be uniform, but the
records are uniform already.

in the transition required exten-
sive new hiring, and this was part
of the overtime cause, Miss Bass
has a capable assistant in han-
dling certifications and _appoint-
ments in Catharine V. Sullivan,
Never A Dull Moment

So, the rate changes involving
40,000 employees are finished, Bub
it must not be assumed that peak
tasks are over. Right now Miss
Bass is deep in the handling of|
appointments from the surface
line operator list, recently certl-
fied to the Board, and soon the

other taxes, and many of these
other taxes afford tax deductions,
all taxpayers should watch care-
fully for every deduction oppor-
tunity arising from non-business

taxes.
TAXES

These State and local taxes are
deductible from U. 8. income tax
returns, under Taxes, on Page 3
of Long Form 1040: Income, per-
sonal property, real estate, sales,
State gasoline tax (4 cents a gal-
Jon), auto plates and driver's and
| chauffeur’s licenses,

personnel in the Board of ‘Trans-|, The taxes, to be deductible must

be imposed on the claimant. If,
however, a percentage of the
sales price is imposed as a tax,
which the seller pays, but passes
the tax on in full to the buyer,
the deduction still applies to the
buyer.
The 100 Per Cent Rule

If one spouse owns a house and
@ other spouse pays the real

the one on whom the tax is im
posed and can't claim the deduc-
tion on a separate return, but could
do so on a joint return. It does
not matter, in a joint return,
which of the two paid all or any
part of the tax, The same princi-
ple applies to claiming a State
income tax payment which one
spouse makes for the other,

Real estate taxes include those
on house and lot and are deducti-
ble in full, even though the owner
rents the house or lot or part of
either or both, The same 100 per
cent rule applies to interest (dis-
cussed last week) and casualty
losses (discussed later on in this
article).

Where part or all of a house is
rented out by the owner, expenses,

penses, and depreciation, deduc-

The increased quotas involved)tion only applies in the propor-|

tion that the rented part of
premises bears to the owner-
occupied part. Whether interest,
taxes and casualty losses are de-
ducted on Page 2 of the 1040, or
on Page 3, the taxpayer should
not apply the reduction formula
to these three categories.

An answer to charges by Hospi-
tal Commissioner Marcus D, Kogel
that unqualified persons were cer
tifled and civil ice operations
are slow and archaic, is being pre-
pared by the NYC Civil Service
Commission.

Each of the three
sioners is diagnosing the state-
ments by Commissioner Kogel in
his report and reports by others
at a hearing on the report,
beld by Comptroller Lazarus Jos-
eph.

What Commission Will Say

It is expected that the Commis-
sion’s reply will point out that Dr,
Kogel has directed against the
Commission criticism of acts for
which it is not responsible. For in-
stance, if the Hospital Department
budget line caljs for a mainten-
ance man, an eligible from that
Uist is sent, and he may not have
the qualifications of a mechanic
that the department requires. The
answer will point out that the de-

Commis-

partment should see that budget
lines carry the specific title de-
scriptive of the work. [This is evi-
dence of the importance of
accurate duty-statements in a
classification system.—Ed.}

Won't Take It Lying Down

The Commission has a policy of
not taking official adverse criti-
cism lying down, A report by an-
other group of consultants for
submission to the Committee on
Management Survey, but not yet
released for publication, com-
plained of slowness in establish-
ing eligible lists, A tentative draft
was submitted to the Commission,
which promptly challenged some
| parts, It is understood certain as-
pects of the draft are being re-
vised,

Also, reasons for devoting con-
siderable time to eligible lists were
explained by the Commission, tn-
cluding the necessity of investi-
gating citizenship, veteran pref-
erence and possible criminal
record.

‘Hiring Pool!

Resumption of “hiring pools” is
being considered by the NYC
Civil Service Commission.

At these pools large numbers of
@ligibles on a given list, like that
ef clerk, grade 2, would be called
for one day to a large examining

a claim would be allowable if

“Promotion ladders must be set
up,” he suggests, urging that the

Commission get together “and ap-
ply the necessary remedy without
delay.”
Lauds Commissioner

Mr, Wurf praised Dr. Marcus D.
Kogel, Hospitals Commissioner,
for appointments he made to the
medical service, but said that on
the administrative side there was
room fér improvement. Mr. Wurf
feels that having physicians fill
administrative jobs is not the best
practice, and that in instances
where non-physicians headed hos- |
pitals or branches the results were
usually better, He cited the psy-
chopathic ward at Bellevue Hos-
pital.

Budget Treatment Deplored

Mr. Wurf also feels that on the
administrative side the Commis-

welcome lasts. The only

Fate of Some

In NYC Hospitals Dept.

Some employees in the NYC De-|sioner had yielded

to political
|pressure, while resisting success-

Discussing the report of Boo,
Allen and Hamiltgn to the Mayor's
Committee on Management Sur-

| vey, Mr. Wurf's opinion is that the

findings had failed to point out
how the Budget Director “kicks
around the Hospital Department
budget.” He added that the prac-
tice of issuing fewer budget certi-
ficates for filling jobs than called
for by appropriations of the Board
of Estimate, has long been a
stumbling block to proper admin-
istration.

Mr. Wurf bitterly described how
“decisions of Comptrolicr Lazarus
Joseph and the courts are cir-
cumvented, When it is decided
that employees are entitled to
hourly rates of pay prevailing in

rivate industry, the number of

of maintenance men who were
awarded $11.25 a day, but had
their workweek cut from six to
five days, thus sharply cutting
their earnings. “The Budget Direc-

LEADER Article Brings Rush
Of Applicants to Fill NYC
Subway Conductor Posts

All the existing provisional jobs
as conductor have been filled by
the NYC Board of Transportation,
‘The last group hired, a large one,
consisted exclusively of applicants
who appeared at Room 610 of the
Transportation Building, Wil-
loughby and Jay Streets, Brook-
lyn, as the result of a story in
last week’s LEADER stating that
the jobs would be filled at once,
As soon as the men were accept-
ed they were put to work. The
total number of provisionals hired
was about 300.

The Board is still anxious to
receive applications, even through
no prospect of immediate hiring
now exists. Apply at the same
place, 9 to 5, Monday through
Friday, until further notice.

Pays $60 Week.

The job pays $1.3637 an hour
for a 44-hour week, or about $60
&@ week. Applicants must be phy-
sically agile and willing to work
at night. There are no age limits,

Stationary engineers are needed
by the Board to fill five provisional
jobs at once. There is no eligible
list and no exam is under way, so
Prospects of provisional job re-

rention will last for at least six
months, The provisionals could
compete in»a future test and if
they pass {t high enough, could
attain permanence. The pay is
$15.75 a day and the work is
steady.

35 Appointments a Week

From thé surface line operator
list the Board is appointing 35
new employees a week. The num-
ber exceeds 35 to the extent that
provisionals on the eligible list are
reached. Appointments are made
to bus or trolley car operator or
conductor jobs.

‘The Board especially needs con-
ductors from the eligible list. The

romotion opportunities in that
job are excellent, Conductors are
appointed from the surface line
operator list if they meet mini-
mum height requirement of 5 feet,
6 inches, An eligible’s name is re-
moved from the list after he is
appointed to either an operator or
@ conductor job,

The clerk, grade 2, list has been
certified to the Board, and from
among 255 names 30 will be select-
ed. The handsomeness of the new
Transportation Building, and its
accessible location, have caused
acceptances by clerk, grade 2.
eligibles to increase, The Board
hopes to fill all 30 fobs quickly.

Miscellaneous

Itemized deductions not claim-
fable elsewhere on Page 3 of the
1040 are entered under Miscellan-
eous. Deductible are dues to un-
ions and other employee organiza~
tions, including civil service em-
ployee associations, also those paid
to scientific, educational and lite-
rary and other learned societies,
in connection with one's profes-
sion. Many public employees are
members of legal, -ngineering and
medical societies, and may de-
duct not only for dues but also for
subscriptions to technical publi-
cations.

The cost and upkeep of tools and
supplies necessary to earn income
is deductible. So are employment
agency fees, and these may possi-
bly include the fees charged for
+ entering exams for public jobs.

The cost of safety equipment,
ike safety shoes, gloves and belts,

expenses are on her separate re- ¥

there’s no deduction.

Alimony payments, if periodic,
and under a court decree of di-
yorce or separation, are deducti-
ble. But lump-sum payment, in
settlement of all claims, and non-
periodic, or temporary alimony,
are not deductible. The payments
need not necessarily coincide ex-
actly with the periods ordered by
the court; the deduction would
still apply. Only when alimony is
deductible to the one who pays, is
it taxable to the one who receives.
A wife or ex-wife receiving a
lump-sum payment or temporary
alimony pays no tax on it and the
husband gets no deduction for
paying out that money.

Not deductible is the cost of
commutation or transportation to
and from work, no matter what
the distance or the cost, nor the
cost of entertaining friends, But
entertaining customers is @ de-
ductible expense under Miscellan-
eous, Educational expenses, tui-~
tion fees, bribes and other illegal
ee are not deductible.

~ Engineer

Test

Upheld on Appeal

‘The Appellate Division, First De-
partment, reversing Special Term
of the Supreme Court, held recent-
ly that the exams for promotion
to electrical engineer, taken by
92 NYC employees of 11 depart-
ments on October 22, 1949, were
legal. The exams were in court
because seven questions had been
lifted from William Giendinning’s
engineering book, which also con-
tained the answers. The candi-
dates were permitted to bring to
the original exams any tables,
handbooks or other literature be-
cause of the mathematical com-
plexity of the required calcula-
tions.

The Court sustained the con-
tentions of Representative Sidney
A. Fine and Morris Weissberg,
joint attorneys for 35 employees
who passed the test.

‘The petitioners, all of whom had
failed the first tests, counting
credit, if any, on disputed ques-
tions, also failed the second. They
sought to have all the previous
tests voided and a new exam
held.

Unanimous Court

of the 35 questions for
Board of Transportation em-
Pioyees and two of the 30 asked
of employees of the Department
of Public Works had been taken
from Glendinning’s book, There
was no evidence that any candi-
date had brought that book to the
first test. A limited ‘re-test, sup-
Posed to cover the same subjects
as the disputed questions in the
first exams, was not of the open-
book type.

“Tf any of them had taken
Glendinning's book to the exam-
ination, it did not enable them
to pass,” said Justice John Van
Voorhis to the petitioners, in the
Prevailing opinion. Presiding Jus-
fice David W. Peck and Justices
Ed. J, Glennon and Albert Cohn
concurred with him. Justice
Edward S. Dore concurred in the
result and said, in a brief separate
opinion, that the petitioners had
a choice in the first exams and
had exercised it, “They were not
entitled to a second choice,” he
observed, holding that the action
of the Civil Service Commis-
sion was gal, fair and reason-
able.” The prevailing opinion re-

Pive

flected the same attitude toward
what the Commission had done.

Petitioners Held Undamaged

Because somebody might have
brought to the first exams the
book from which questions had
been lifted by the Commission's
examiner, the Commission gave
all candidates who had answered
any of the seven disputed ques-
tions an. opportunity to answer
questions on similar subjects in
the re-exam. In the new test, un-
like the former exams, no optional
questions were included. The pe-
titioners made a point of this ab-
sence, but the Court held that was
immaterial.

The majority opinion stated/

that attempts by the Commission
to make out a case of similarity
between the disputed questions and
the substitute ones were confus-
ing, since the second set of ques-
tions was different, otherwise
there'd be no purpose in holding
the second test. All Justices agreed
that the petitioners were not
damaged by the possibility that
some other candidates may have
used Glendinning’s book.

The case was that of John
Chironna and others against
President James S, Watson and
the other members of the Com-
mission.

Better Hours
On Way for
Transit Police

PLEASE STATE when the tran-
sit police will be put on a 44-hour
week, as I notice that nearly
everybody but these employees in
the NYC Board of Transporta-
ne heed are on such a week.

The transition to # shorter
week is now being worked out for
the transit police by the Board of
Transportation, which explains
that special problems concerning
this group made it impossible to
include them in the general tran-
sition otherwise accomplished fully
by December 30, 1951.

RIGHTS

By MORRIS WEISSBERG

COST OF LIVING BONUSES
(Continued from last week)

ONE CONDITION which is fre-
quently attached to the granting
of @ cost of living bonus is that
the payment to any employee of
his regular compensation plus a
cost-of-living bonus in @ gross
amount which exceeds the maxi-
mum compensation for the em-
ployee’s grade shall not, without
any examination, automatically
promote the employee to the next
higher grade. This condition is
necessary; otherwise the em-
ployee could not receive s gross
salary which exceeds the maxi-
mum of his grade, unless he were
promoted to the next higher grade.
Usually, employees are required to
sign an agreement or waiver of
claim to a higher grade by reason
of their receipt of a cost of living
bonus, This expedient is cumber-
some, when one bears in mind
that section 16 of the Civil Service
Law provides that an increaSé in
compensation beyond the maxi-
mum fixed for the grade by civil
service rules constitutes a promo-
tion, and section 8-a of the Civil
Service Law prohibits officials
from requiring employees to waive
any rights given them by the Civil
Service Law. In my opinion, a
simpler method of dealing with
this problem would be to amend
the civil service rules so as to in-
crease the maximum range of the
grades by the amount of any cost
of living bonus.

Another Condition

Another condition frequently
attached to ® cost of living bonus
is that the bonus shall not affect
the employee's pension or retire-
ment allowance, One effect of such
@ conditionsis that deductions for
employees’ membership contribu-
tions to retirement systems are
made on the employee's base sal-
ary only, without any deductions
on account of any cost of living
bonus. Sometimes employees are
required to sign and agreement
or waiver of any claim or
right to have their pension and
retirement allowance computed
and fixed on the basis
of their regular compensation plus
any cost of living bonus. There
have been contradictory court de-
cisions as to the validity of any
such agreement or waiver. In one
case, an appellate court sustained

such a waiver was not binding on
the State Comptroller, as head of
the State Employees’ Retirement
System, and that the State Comp-
troller could disregard

of a cost of living bonus on con-
dition that it shall not affect an
employee's pension or retirement
allowance, is not binding on any
employee who

STENOS AND TYPISTS
HIRED FAST UPSTATE

ALBANY, Jan. 7 — The pro-
gram of continuous recruitment
for State typists and stenographers
in the NYC area has been deemed
so successful by the Civil Service
Department that the system is
soon to be installed upstate.

Under the program, developed
to speed up the hiring of candi-
dates, persons seeking appoint-
ment to one of the tities in the
New York City area have been
able to present themselves at the
New York City office of the DPUI
and be tested providing they meet
the same qualifications heretofore
asked in admissions for the post-
tions. If qualified and able to pass
the performance test for typist,
the candidate is then given the
performance test for stenographer.
If successful in these tests, the
candidate is then referred to the
NYC office of the State Civil Serv-
ice Commission for discussion of
job vacancies. New applicants who
qualify have been getting a pretty
good choice of valuable jobs, de-
Pending upon their qualifications.

In the first three weeks of the
program ending December 14, the

system in New York City pro-| 450 vacant or provisionally held
duced close to 200 permanent ap- jobs in the two categories covered,

pointments and it is expected to
produce another 200 in the next
month,

67 Appointed

Continuous recruitment has pro»
duced permanent jobs for 27 new
stenographers and for 40 more
who had been provisionals, Forty-
three typists received new per+
manent positions, while 57 former
provistonals were made permanent,
Another 36 provisional stenog-
raphers who fatled their own exam
passed as typists, and at least 30
of them have accepted appoint-
ments.

Working closely with Civil Serv-
in the New York City program
have been Harry Smith, Director
of Personnel for DPUI; Katherine
Davis, Supervisor of Special Cer-
vices, including testing, and Mrs,
Marguerite Colman, State Con-
sultant for Special Services, in-
cluding testing, both of DPUL

Spreading the system to Albany
in particular and the rest of up-
state in general is expected as soon
as plans can be worked out for the
necessary testing.

In Albany the program would
be expected to reduce the present

~ DON'T REPEAT THIS

(continued Praga 7)
dead duck is nuts, and doesn't

know the facts.”

If this move for Mead gains
ground, his supporters have to
fight a number of strong New
York City contenders for the
nomination; among them being
Manhattan Borough President
Robert F. Wagner Jr., Congress-
man Pranklin D. Roosevelt Jr.,
New York County District Attwor-
ney Frank S, Hogan, Federal Se-
curity Administrator Oscar R.
Ewing.

‘The Farley Factor

This column is able to report a
factor of utmost significance: that
Mead would not face, as he did
once before, the bitter opposition
of James A. Farley. Par!
popularity and influence are tre-
mendous, and if he were to issue
an anti-Mead.blast—as he did on
a previous historic oc
would probably
chances, however favorable other
Political factors might be. But
this column has learned, directly
from Mr. Farley, tliat he will not
oppose Mead for the Senate noini-
nation,

This means that the upstaters
who want Mead can argue that he
would have a united Democratic
Party behind him. He stands O.K.
with the big State potentates, Paul
E. Pitzpatrick and Bronx boss Ed
Flynn. The smaller political chief-
tains and the lesser party work-
ers consider him one of their own.

‘Their Facts

‘The upstaters cite these facts
fm pushing the claims for their
man:

Labor has always been pro-
Mead. He himself comes out of a
trade union background, and his
votes while in the House of Rep-
resentatives and in the U. 5, Sen-
ate were always on the side of la-
bor. During the Roosevelt regime,
he was a New Dealer. He is a
strong civil service advocate, and
while in Congress sponsored nu-
merous bills extending the classi-
fled civil service to agencies not
previously covered. Postal workers
look on him as a special friend,

Close to Truman

Mead is close to President Tru-
man, whom he succeeded as chair-
man of the Special Senate Com-
mittee to Investigate the National
Defense Program, when Truman
was nominated to the Vice Presi-
dency. Mead, incidentally, ap-
pointed Rudolph Halley as coun-
sel to this committee. Halley had
formerly been serving as assistant
counel. Halley's influence could
now be important throughout the
State.

He's Clean

‘The upstaters add that Mead is
elean—considered a valuable assest
fm these days of corruption and
scandal headlines, As head of the
Federal Trade Commission, Mead
has operated an agency against
which no breath of scandal has
been directed. It is an agency
which, while dealing with delicate
problems of business practice and
monopoly, has built high prestige
for the quality and dispatch with
which it performs its work,

So, as to record and background,
Mead’s supporters are building up
a case to make him out a candi-
date of valid political appeal

About the GOP Opposition

Another factor may be the
revelations made in @ recent sur-
vey by the Princeton Research
Service, examining the political
appeal of GOP Senator Ives, who
will be renominated. Among all
the politicians, Democratic as well
as Republican, Ives rates as @
smooth, strong candidate and a
campaigner of winning manner.
But tho Prniceton Reserch Service
made an interesting discovery—
that 49 percent of the State's vot-
ers don’t know enough about Ives
to be either for or against him.
‘The ignorance of Ives’ record was
found to extend through all seg-
ments of the population. However,

of those who are aware of Ives’
record, 36 percent approve and
only 15 percent disapprove of it,
The poll-takers found the ignor-
ance of Ives about the same, per-
centage-wise, among Republicans,

Democrats, and independent vot-
ers. The Princeton Research group
draws these conclusions: Half the

people don’t know about Ives; but
of the half who do know of him,
his supporters outnumber his de-
tractors by two to one.

But—

Politicians will read other con-
elusions into these statistics, The
Republicans will realize the ne-
cessity of building up the base of
Ives’ supporters to encompase

more of the “neutralists.” The up-
attempt to prove that Mead, hat

30
the State, with all kinds of con-
tacts in New York City as well as

more widely known to the people
than Ives, The question they
haven't been able to answer so far
is: How does Mead’s popularity
stack up against that of the other
Democratic potentials from down-
state?
Lost Only Once

The upstaters say that in a po-
litical career extending back to
1913, Mead has lost only once—in
1946 to Governor Dewey. And this,
they point out further, was out of
18 elections in which he was a
candidate. They use this in an en-
deavor to offset a wide impression
that Mead is not a powerful man
in a political race. An examina-
tion of voting records would ap-
pear to bear out the upstate Mead
men, He has consistently been—
with the spectacular exception of
his defeat by Dewey—one of the
strongest vote-pullers in the State.
When Al Smith ran for Governor
in 1918, and Mead for Congress-
man, on the same ticket, Mead
ran only about 1000 votes behind
Smith in his district. Four years
later he ran ahead of Smith. In
1926, with Smith again heading
the ticket, Mead outran the party
leader. In 1922, Democratic presi-
dential candidate James M, Cox
received 14,908 votes in the 42nd
congressional district. Mead got
nearly twice that total—28,152. In
his own district he exceeded
Franklin D. Roosevelt's vote when
FDR ran for Governor and again
in 1932, when FDR ran for the
Presidency. In 1934, he polled
more votes than Herbert H, Leh-
man, in his district. He repeated

against Corsi for U. S, Senator;
receiving in Erie County 152,150
votes while Lehman, then running
for Governor on the same ticket,
received 124,561 votes. And in
1940, renominated for Senator,

Roosevelt in Erie County,

Citing this record, the upstaters
say that his one loss ought not to
put him on the political shelf for-
ever. They point out that many
politicians, including Governor
Dewey, have lost political cam-
paigns and then come back even
stronger than before.

Is This Their Year?

They say this is their year and
Mead is their candidate. They add
up his assets, and include in these
the support of business (resulting
from his handling of the FTC job)
as wel as albor, They feel Mead
could certainly count on Liberal
Party support. And they're trying
to convince the Democratic Party
that their man has an unbeatable
combination.

It Won't e Easy

downstaters are going to take it
quietly. Cautious young Bob Wag-
ner won't let the nomination slip

fight. Young PDR wants the post
dearly, and his father’s name is
still magic to lots of people. The
adherents of other potentials will
bring forward their claims with
blandishments perhaps as strong
as or stronger than those to Mead,
‘The upstaters won't have an easy
time winning the nomination for
their man, But they're starting
early,
