Health, Marketing,
Engineering Aides
Also Being Sought

ALBANY, Dec. 6—A new series
of examinations, with wide ap-
peal, has been opened by the State
Civil Service Department. The

Positions resulting from these
exams are in the fields of educa~
tion, marketing, health, engineer-
ing and horse-racing. The salaries
for the positions, compared with
the pay of similar jobs elsewhere,
is considered good. And the State
of New York is reputedly the best
governmental unit to work for.
Now let’s have a closer look at

the jobs. Here are the titles and
the entrance salary of each:

(Guidance), $5,232.

50,000 State Employees File
New ‘Must’ Oaths of Office

ALBANY, Dec. 6. — New York
State's vast army of employees,
told recently that they must file
new constitutional oaths of office
or “face the consequences,” have
complied with the new procedures,

retary of the department of State,

Oh the county and local level,

initiated after The LEADER had
revealed widespread laxity in the
practice, and had found that em-

Fill U.S. Legal Jobs
By Civil Service,
Says Herbert Hoover

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6—If for-
mer President Herbert Hoover has
his way, all jobs of Federal law-
yers, with the exception of the
top jobs, will be filled through
civil service,

At present, Federal lawyers are
in two categories — the U. S.
Attorneys’ aides, selected by pat-
ronage, and lawyers selected
through examination. In general,
where the work would require ad-
mission to the bar, the job is ex-
empt from civil service require-
ments. Where the work can be
performed by one having legal
training — but not necessarily ad-

[zaission. to the bar — the job ts
generally filled through civil ser-
vice examination,
Offsetting Factor

Mr. Hoover, in his report on the
reorganization of government, will
recommend that all legal posts,
of whatever nature, be filled
through merit, However, offsetting
this condition to some extent, is
the former President's recommen-
dation that the Civil Service Com-
mission be stripped of its major
recruiting powers, and that the
Hn of recruiting and testing be
aken over by the agencies them-
selves,

ALBANY, Dec. 6—During the
rating years 1947-48 a new rating
plan, recommended to the State
Civil Service Commission by the
State Personnel Council, was given
@ trial, As a result, it led to a
decision to recommend a new
form and procedure for use, if
Possible, during 1948-49, with the
exception that all state depart-
ments are required to adopt the
new rating plan for the year
1949-50,

New Standards

The plan provides for perfor:
mance standards for titles en
bracing the larger groups of e!
Pployees. Since some departments
have embarked on their rating
for 1948-49, and have nearly
completed their ratings, these d
partments are advised to wo
out performance standards by|
July 1, 1949, in order to have
sufficient time for training before
their new service rating period
begins in the fall of 1949,

Conditions

The State Commission has ruled!

New Rating Plan
Goes into Effect

that departments not yet using the
new rating plan may submit their
1947 to 1948 ratings for their
1948-49 report under the fol~
lowing conditions: 1) that de-
partment copies of the 1947-48
ratings be submitted through su-
pervisors for review. If perfor-
mance of an employee has changed
during the current year, a new
rating should be prepared; if not,
then supervisors should indicate
“no change necessary.” 2) Spec-
jal attention should be given to
“unsatisfactory” ratings in the
1947-48 period. 3) New ratings
for new employees or employ:
promoted during t Past year

should be pared. 4) The de-
partment ating board should
certify to the Civil Service De-
partment that a complete review
has been made of ratin for
those employees still in the same
title.

‘The Commission said it adopted

this ruling to help state depart-
ments, so that complete new ral-
ings aren't necessary for tha
1948-49 period,

More Win Awards
For Valuable Ideas

The New York State Employees
Merit Award Board announced the
following awards:

The Board awarded $20 in cash
and a Certificate of Merit to
George A. Hamilton, Albany, an
employee of the Department of
Audit and Control.

Through the Employees’ Sug-
gestion Program, he proposed that
@ map of Albany be placed in
the lobby of the State Office
Building, showing the location of
the various State buildings and
agencies,

It is believed that such a map
will greatly assist visitors trying
to locate agencies having branches
in other buildings in the city. In
addition, it will help the guards
to explain the location of a par-
ticular bureau. The map will
provide a marked aid and con-
venience to the visiting public
unfamiliar with the city of Al-
bany the Board felt.

This is the second time one of
Mr. Hamilton's ideas has gajned
recognition by the Board. He
previously won $25 for his pro-
posed procedure to insure the ac-
curate control of vouchers while
being processed.

Safety Plan Wins Prize

William E. Dillon,
the NYC office of the
surance Fund, has been ay e
$50 in cash and a Certificate of
Meritorious Service by the New
York State Merit Award Board
in recognition of his “outstanding
accomplishment in assembling a
complete course in safety engin-
eering for supervisors.”

On his own initiative, outside
of regular working hours, he com-
piled material from many sources
on safety engineering into one
composite course consisting of six
unified pai There is also a
“quiz” accompanying each part.
The subject matter is not a series
of bookish technical statements,
with exhaustive statistical tables,
but has been developed in a prac-
tical style that should have wide
appeal to foremen and those en-
gaged in accident reduction ac-
tivities in industry.

The committee which investiga-
ted Mr. Dillon's comprehensive
work has indicated that the course
is now used by the Inspection and
Safety Service Department of the
State Insurance Fund, and that
it has proven to be effective. It
has been found to be a ready guide
for use by State Fund safety men
in installing safety programs and
is of material assistance for super-
visors in plants in creating active

participation in safety programs.
Another Double Winner

Moses Park, an employee in the
Albany Office of the Department
of Taxation & Finance, has just
won his second Merit Award, $50
in cash and a Certificate of Merit

H [Traditionally
Chosen By

4 | Prove public relations,

in recognition of a practical, time-
saving idea which he submitted
through the Employees’ Sugges-
tion Program.

Mr. Park proposed a schedule
for processing work in the Income
Tax Bureau that will result in a
significant saving of auditor's
time and will expedite the review
of taxpayer's returns. His prev-
fous award of $25 was for a pro-
cedure designed to speed up the
collection of delinquent taxes
which will save the State an es-
timated $1,000 annually.

“Not only are Mr. Park's accom-
plishments outstanding examples
of employee interest in increasing
efficiency in State government,
but emphasize the value of the
Suggestion Program as a means
of coordinating on-the-job think-
ing,” said the Board.

Other award recipients were:

Mary R. Mc Inerney, $20. Men-
tal Hygiene, Hudson River State
Hospital, for proposal that a
pamphlet be distributed with li-
cense plates and with operators’
and chauffeurs’ license stressing
Safety and Caution in the opera-
tion of motor vehicles.

Barnet E. Epstein, $20. Div. of
Placement & Uemployment Insur-
ance, Brooklyn, for revision of
form in DPUI, designed to im-

w. Phalan, $20. Public

Works, Rome, Suggested a change
in mail room operations to ex-
pedite delivery of mail to the
rict offices.
George A. Hamilton, $20. Audit
& Control, Albany. He recom-
mended that a map be placed
in lobby of the Gov. Alfred E.
Smith State Office Building show-
ing location of various State agen-
cies in Albany. It will be of
material assistance to guards in
explaining to visitors how to get
to a particular bureau. This is
Mr. Hamilton’s second merit
award.

Leonard Solomons, $20. Diy. of
Placement & Unemployment Ins.,
New York City, advanced the
idea of printing certain records
in colored ink to provide a con-
trast thereon and thus reduce
possibility of clerical errors.

Merit Man

Clyde E. Paull

Clyde E. Paull is a leader who
leads. A patient listener, a care-
ful diplon:at in his approach to
people, Paull has in a short time
achieved amazing gains for the
employees of Chemung County.

He has just successfully com-
pleted a campaign which resulted
in adoption of the “flexible” wage
plan -- a plan originated in West-
chester County which assures em-
ployees that they will never be
made victims of the inflationary
spiral. A year ago, it is doubtful
if anyone would have predicted
the possibility of such a plan being
adopted in Chemung. Incidentally,
a substantial wage increase goes
along with it,

17 Years of Service

Paull’s civil service title is Sen-
jor Account Clerk in the Chemung
County Building Construction and
Maintenance Department. He's
had seventeen years of public
service, and so he knows the
score — knows it from the bot-
tom up.

His work on behalf of the em-
ployees is performed in his capa-
city as president of the Chemung
Chapter, Civil Service Employees
Association. If you speak to offi-
cials of the county, you are likely
to hear this opinion: “Clyde Paull
displays such tenacity of purpose,
and works so carefully with his
facts, that it is most difficult to
oppose him when he undertakes
to make a case for advancement
of employee objectives.”

He Plans Carefully

When the chapter was first or-
ganized, Clyde played a major
role in establishing it solidly, and
became its first secretary. Last
April he was unanimously elected
its president. During his adminis-
tration the chapter has consist-
ently grown and expanded i
field of usefulness. He plans
monthly meetings with care, ap-
points competent committees, and
always furnishes a lively program.
He has represented the chapter
for two successive years as a dele-
gate at the annual meetings of
the Association, taking an active
part in the proceedings of the
county division.

One of the things that nobody
has been able to figure about
Clyde is how he has managed to
remain a bachelor for so long.
But unmarried he is. He lives
alone — with two fine hunting
dogs and a cat for company.
They don't talk back, he main-
tains. He is an enthusiastic
sportsman, belongs to several
shooting clubs, and as often as
his duties permit he can be found
afield with dog and gun. Another
hobby of his is music. Clyde is a
Bond musician, plays exceptionally
well.

He has long been active in
Masonic circles, and is a member
of the Methodist church,

From Pennsylvania

Originally he hails from Penn-
sylvania, where he attended the
schools in a little place called
Galston. He is a graduate of the
Elmira Business Institute; and has
studied higher accountancy
through the LaSalle University
extension department.

Clyde Paull’s drive, energy and
singleness of purpose represents
the new approach in public em-

ployee relations — strength plus

\YSTERANS who hold competi-
tive class jobs will be interested
to know that a fellow-veteran, in
@ recent court case, contended
that the provisions 6f Civil Ser-
vice Law Section 22 (2) which
relate to the protection against
remoyals from competitive class
Positions, are not applicable to
veterans, Section 22 (2) makes
provision for five different kinds
of penalties that can be imposed
upon a finding of guilty on charges
of incompetency or misconduct,
ranging from a reprimand to dis-
missal from the service. It also
Provides for suspension pending
charges. The veteran contended
that only subdivision 1 of Section
22 applied to veterans because its
language refers to veterans speci-
fically. Section 22 (1) provides
for a hearing on charges for
veterans, and guarantees a court
review, but does not specifically
grant the power to suspend. It
does, however, apply to veterans
in the exempt and non-competi-
tive classes as well as to veterans
in the competitive class.

The veteran contended that
Section 22 (2) was inapplicable
to veterans because he was seeking
back pay for periods of suspen-
sion pending the final disposition
of his removal proceeding.

Suspended Pending Hearing

It seems that he was suspended
for 30 days prior to his first
hearing on charges, He was found
guilty on two counts and dis-
missed from the position of Fire
Captain. An appeal, the courts
found no evidence in support of
one of the charges, annulled the
determination of dismissal and re-
ferred the case back to the Fire
Chief for reconsideration of the
penalty. A re-hearing was held
30 days later and, on the same
day, the Fire Captain resigned
“without prejudice” to a claim
for back pay. Despite the resig-
nation, he was found guilty and
again removed. He did not ob-
ject to this second removal but
sued for back pay, contending
that as a veteran (1) he should
not have been suspended pending
a hearing on charges, and (2) he
should have been restored to his

position, with full back pay, when | 2d

Vets Asked to Write

The meeting of this committee
will take place in the Hall of Rec-
ords, Room 305, 31 Chambers
Street, New York’ City. It is un-
derstood that the meeting is to|
be a closed one. One group of
veterans in civil service, however,
suggested that war veterans, par-
ticularly Legion members, should
communicate with these commit-
tee members expressing their
views upon the vet preference bills
being considered.

Little Chance for Third Measure |

It is learned, too, that a third
measure — neither the Mitchell
nor the Condon proposal — may
be “sprung” on the Legislation at
the last minute. The purpose of

by the Mitchell bill. It is point

out, however, that such a meas:
ure—being an amendment to the
Constitution — must be passed
in two successive years; and if
the Legislature does accept it, non-
disabled veterans would be with-
out preference of any kind for a
full year as soon the present
measure has run its course, which
is the end of 1950. Moreover, there
is no assurance that the general
public would go for the kind of
“third force” measure being con-
templated — even if it could pass
over the legislative hurdles. The
public is much farther away from
the war than it was when the
resent law was passed — by an
exceedingly slim margin,

Among the civil service groups
who have gone on record for the
Mitchell bill, in addition to the
State firemen, are New York City's
Uniformed Firemen’s Association;

as most of the major civic organi-

zations. The civic associations
have, in fact, combined their ef-
forts to push the Mitchell bill,
“in the interests of preserving
good government.”

The Condon bill so far as The
LEADER can discover, has at-
tained no organized support of any
popular following. Within the Le-
gion, too, State headquarters has
felt it necessary to subdue posts
which might have wished to go
on record for the Mitchell measure,

Hope is expressed in some civil
service circles that The Legion
may come around to support the
Mitchell measure, in view of the
strong support that proposal has
elicited. At the very least, it is
hoped that the Legion will main-
tain neutrality between the Mit-
chell and the Condon measures,

RATION,

Plenty of Problems in N.Y. Stat
Huge New Public Works Progra

This is the first of a series of articles which The LEADER will run op,

administration. These articles have wide bearing on public service—,
interest not only to government employees and public officials but to th,
citizenry as well. The article below describes some of the State’s new coy
plans, and the problems involved in carrying out such plans in «
inflation and shortage of competent personnel.

By BERTRAM D. TALLAMY

Superintendent of Public Works

EW YORK State is now en-

gaged in the most stimulating
Program of public works con-
struction and reconstruction it has
ever known. Within the three
years which have elapsed since
VJ-Day more than 400 contracts
for all types of highway and bridge
construction work have been
awarded at a cost of $170,000,000,
These contracts alone have pro-
vided for more than 1,500 miles
of modern arteries for motor vehi-
cle travel in all sections of the
state,

As large as this may seem, it
is only a start toward the accom-
plishment of a necessary goal —
the rehabilitation of the State
highway system to a point at

which it can safely and adequately |

mect the ever increasing traffic
demands which are being placed
upon it with each passing year,
No Visionary Program

Our program is not merely
visionary. It is based on hard,
cold facts brought to light by
careful analy: of our existing
physical plant, its conditions and
its ability to perform the work for
which it was intended. Prom that
study came the positive need for
the reconstruction of more than
one third of our existing highway
system, the widening of pavements
on an equally large segment of
the system, and the construction
of important new high-capacity
arteries in regions where traffic
congestion is now a serious, though
unnecessary, burden interfering
with the welfare of the traveling
public and the health of our
economy.

The Thruway
During the next five years we

look forward to even greater ac-|§

complishments. The Thruway, be-
gun two years ago, should be a
potent part of our highway system
within that space of time. Much
traffic congestion in many of our
cities should be overcome through
the construction of high-capacity
arterial highways within them,
while hundreds of more miles of
existing though outmoded pave-
ments should be replaced by mod-
ern, well-planned arteries.

Bridges which by virtue of age
or faulty alignment are no longer
capable of rendering safe and
efficient service to the motoring
public should give way to new
structures, designed to 20th Cen-
tury standards and on safe align-
ment,

That period too should be one
in which the most hazardous high.
way-railroad grade crossings will
be eliminated through the erec-
tion of necessary structures where-
by highway traffic may move with
absolute freedom and safety over
or under the intersecting railroad
tracks.

It should also be a time in
which long needed improvements
to the New York State Canal
System can become realities and
in which flood control projects,
vital to the welfare of thousands
of persons in often inundated
areas, may be completed.

Likewise it could be the period,
with reasonable stability in the
building industry, in which mod-

ern structures are constructed to
house the wards of the State who
are now in some instances ab-
ominably quartered in antiquated
and hazardous buildings.

These are some of the things
that should be and are planned
to be accomplished in that space
of time. However, they must be
approached intelligently, and the
many obstacles which will surely
work to retard the desired rate
of advancement must be met
forthrightly and overcome.

Obstacles

The first big obstacle is the
ability of the construction in-
dustry to absorb the work we
have to offer, That has been a
real barrier to rapid progress
since the war. Now, however,
there are many encouraging signs
of its being cleared away because
of two important factors. First,
the contractors have been able
to obtain the massive new and
powerful equipment they need
with which to undertake modern
work. Machinery, far more effi-
cient than any in use before the
war, May now be seen on prac-
tically every highway project in
the state. This, combined with the
new know-how required on the
part of the contractors to carry
on post-war work, their more ex-
perienced forces, and the easing
of the materials market appears
to be defeating what months ago
was truly one of our worst buga-
boos.

Seller’s Market

We are admittedly in an
flationary seller's market,
riod in which the demands for
goods and services far exceeds
the ipply. That means high
prices, Consequently, in advancing
its postwar public works con-
truction program the department
has striven mightily to obtain
maximum benefits from every dol-
lar expended. ‘The problem of
obtaining sfactory bids at
prices which will not stimulate a
rising market is ever-present. All
safeguards in this respect must
be maintained for such conditions
may continue to stare us in the
face for some months to come.
But with improvements in the
construction industry constantly
being developed and expanded,
the outlook is more encouragmg
than it has been for a long time.

For instance, during the fifteen
months between VJ-Day and the
end of 1946, we offered for bid
a total of 332 projects which our
engineers estimated would cost
about $163,000,000. Of this num-
ber, 141 were successfully bid and
placed under contract at a total
cost of almost $57,650,000. Thus
we were able to put under way
only 43 per cent of the number
of projects we offered during the
initial postwar period, and most
of these were our smaller offer-
ings as evidenced by the fact that
total contract prices were only
35 per cent of overall offerings,

Progress

Still further progress was made
in 1947 when 118, or approximately
60 per cent, of the 234 projects
offered were placed under con-
tract. During that year bidders
began taking more of our larger
offerings as contracts totaling

bilities of highway engineering to
matriculating students. Represen-
tatives of this department will go
to the institutions which are in
New York State to present to the
students the double barreled op-
portunity which awaits him in
civil service — a chance for em-
ployment with good pay and life-
time security and at the same
time an important role in helping
to build a 20th century highway
system for our motorized econ-
omy. It is an opportunity of a
Hfe time.

Striving to Build

Meanwhile we are striving with
equal zeal to build up our en-
gineering staff through the re-
cruitment of engineers who have
already graduated and are now
qualified to fit into our organiza-
tion. Once these new men have
been added to our payrolls, the
speed with which the design and
construction of our Thruway, our
arterial highways, our bridges and
grade separation structures and
all other phases of our program
can be progressed will be in-
creased materially.

The present program of our
department is based on plans and
Policies established during the
past five and one half years when
Charles H. Sells was State 'Super-
intendent of Public Works. He
has left us a great pattern for
future progress. Our efforts must
now be focused upon its accom-
plishment and the burning away
of all barriers interfering with
rapid attainment of that goal.

Lyons Seeks Exempt

ALBANY, Dec, 6—The LEAD- |

Commissioner of Correction, woutld |

like to place the job of Warden
in the exempt class. The Cor-
rection law at present specifies

that the position is in the com-
petitive class, and must be filled
by examination. Commissioner
Lyons says he favors competitive
status for all jobs up to and
including Principal Keeper. He
feels that the good of the service,
however, requires that he be per-

MacDonald
Has Badly
Infected Eye

Francis A. MacDonald, chairman
of the Southern Conference of
The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, has been laid up with a
badly infected eye since November
9 at his home at Warwick. He
suffered intense pain for a few
weeks but now that has practically
disappeared and his doctors feel
that he is one the road to re-
covery, although his eye is still
inflamed. His many friends
should drop him a get-well line
at the Warwick State School. He
is president of the Warwick chap-

ter,
Mr, MacDonald has been at}
home for the whole period,

nearly a month now. At first he
had to stay in a dark room and
apply medication to his eye. Non-
local penicillin injections have
just been completed. These are
reported as experimental, but if
they prove effective, doctors as-
sure him that his eye trouble
will disappear quickly and per-
manently.

Mr. MacDonald greatly regret-
ted that he was unable to attend
the meeting of the Executive Com-
mittee of the Association. He was
represented by a proxy.

As one of the most active lead-
ers of the Association, Mr. Mac-
Donald has travelled to various
parts of the State, especially to
attend other Conference meetings,
and has practiced his hobby of |
Photography. Some of the fine
Pictures he took of Association
activities will soon appear in The
LEADER. They hark back to pre~
eye-trouble days, but show in-
teresting aspects of the Associa-
tion’s effective work.

Early Action

Split Shift

Institutions in the Department

split shift still are deeply
concerned about having it ended
as soon as possible. The Civil
Service Employees Association is

endeavoring to work out some fe:
{ble plan with Commissioner F
erick MacCurdy,

od.

The split shift makes it im-
ssible for employees to do a
8 work in continuous sequence,
and the “break,” although con-
stituting time off, produces on

them the effect of a lengthe

Those who live outside the in-
stitutions feel that they are par-

Want Meal Tickets

Also, Mental Hygiene employees
are greatly interested in having
a meal ticket system instituted,
so that no meals would have to
be paid for unless actually eaten
Experiments in methods of meet-
ing grievances on this score are
being made in some of the in-
stitution

Commissioner MacCurdy has
expressed sympathy with the em-
ployees’ requests and maintains he
is eager to keep morale high. It is
expected that some conferences
with the Budget Director's offi
will be held and that the Com-
missioner will go into the whole
subject. extensively with repre-
sentatives of the Association, Wil-
liam F. McDonough, Association
field representative, has been
lending a hand in trying to get
the two problems solved.

Progress has ben halter because
of Commissioner MacCurdy's ill-

ness. He fainted in his office.

Fire Officers Give

Quayle Te

By H. J, BERNARD

Fire Commissioner Frank J.
Quay'e was given an embossed and
illuminated testimonial by the
Uniformed Fire Officers at Fire
Headquarters last Thursday. Later |
he was their guest at a luncheon,
The testimonia archment
in a frame 1) nd, with
its gold, red and blue coloring,
made a highly attractive gift. The |
Commissioner responded with an
sssion of gratitude

The testimonial set forth that
Commissioner Quayle's administra-
tion of the Fire Department, “has
been marked by striking improve- |
ments and advances that are a
boon alike to citizens, taxpayers,
Firemen and Fire Officer |

It added: “Never before have|
the people of hte City of New|
York had occasion to feel that
Ife, limb and property were sub-
ject to such careful and thorough
protection against fire hazards, ...
Never has the morale of the Of-
ficers and Firemen been as high as
it is today.”

It recalls that the National
Board of Fire Underwriters hon-
ored the Commissioner's admin-
istration by voting the department
first in the State in fire prevention
work

the testimonial continues.
mmissioner Quayle reduced
hours as speedily as circumstances
permitted, so that now the hours
of the entire uniformed force com-
pare very favorably with those of

“Mayor William O'Dwyer may
well, be proud of having appointed
Hon. Frank J. Quayle as Fire
Commissioner, for the Commis-
sioner has proved himself a strong
pillar of the O'Dwyer administra-
tion, by his devotion to duty, his
demonstrated qualities of leader-

ability and his fairness and con-

of heart and purpose as their

State Weighs NYC Plan
On Seton Hospital Workers

ALBANY, Dec. 6—The State
Civil Service Commission, while
adopting two minor resolutions
submitted by the NYC Civil Ser-
vice Commission, reserved action
on a@ third resolution from the
same source that would transfer
into NYC service all employees
of Seton Hospital. This is an in-
stitution run by Catholic Sisters
of Charity. They are giving it up.
The city will take over.

The resolutions were adopted
by the NYC Commission. The one
concerning Seton Hospital was
broader than previous classifica-
tion resolutions, such as those
affecting bus line employees, when
the city acquired the lines, be-
cause of the general nature of
the new inclusion.

Employees thus classified go

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

500 More
Sought for
Promotions

By MORTON YARMON

Police Commissioner Arthur W.
{Wallander will seek permission to
g@ppoint 500 more Patrolmen, as
of February 1, The last group
wppointed consisted of 350. These
recruits are now being trained
at the Police Academy, including
actual service. They are on the
YC streets in their own uni-
forms, aiding in patrol work, and
practically all of them will be
assigned to similar duty for the
holiday season.

The department is being held
up on promotions to Lieutenant
and Sergeant by legal proceedings,
The Sergeant examination was
recently upset again, this time
by a decision by Supreme Court
Justice Bernard Botein_and the
appeal was argued on Friday in
the Appellate Division. Supreme
Court Justice Aaron Levy later
decided a case involving the
Lieutenant list, ordering a ques-
tion stricken out of the written
test. This case will be appealed.
Both cases attack key answers
of the NYC Civil Service Com-
mission.

Vacancies Listed

There is only one vacancy above
the rank of Lieutenant in the
entire department, and that is a
Captain vacancy. This has caused
Commissioner Wallander_consid-
erable regret and the officers in
general share his feeling.

There are six Lieutenant va-
Cancies, also a considerable num-
ber of vacancies as permanent
Sergeants. The Acting Sergeants
would have to be replaced by
eligibles, after the list is promul-
@ated. Whether “Actings” keep
their job(s) and get the higher
Pay that goes with promotion,
will depend on whether they are

within reach on the eligible list.
About 500 eligibles were knocked
off the list as the result of the
first law case.

The second proceeding is being
appealed by Corporation Counsel
John P. McGrath.

Justice Levy held that the ques-
tion must, be stricken out because
none of the optional answers was
or could be correct. The question,
No. 8, was:

“Where should a person be di-
rected when he comes into a sta-
tion house and asks where he can
obtain a good conduct certificate
to travel in foreign countries?”

‘No Best Answer’

‘The Commission is best answer
was: “The 18th Division, Police
Headquarters, 240 Centre St.”
Sergeant Sanford Garelick and 11
other maintained that the 18th
Division had been transferred to
Bergen St., Bklyn., two months
before the examination, although
after the test paper had been pre-
pared.

Justice Levy’s decision held:

“In the court’s opinion there is
no reasonable basis for the ruling
that Answer D (240 Centre St.)
is the best possible answer to
Question 8, The petitioners have
established to the court’s satis-
faction that none of the answers
to Question 8 which were submit-
ted to persons taking the exam
was factually correct. In the cir-
cumstances the question was not
capable of a best answer.”

The city will appeal the case.

“We must appeal when a judge
attempts to trade places with us,”
said President Joseph A, McNam-
ara, of the Commission, “for the
effect on future examinations. We
claim that we have the authority
we exercised in the exam.”

Disabled Vet
Candidates
On Increase

During the first 10 months of
this year the number of disabled
yeteran preference claimants who
competed in NYC examinations
Was 3,175, compared to 2,781 for
all of last year.

In 1946 the first large increase
took place, although the total
number was only about half of
what the following year produced.

The tally from 1940 to date:
1940 1945, 7
1941 1946,

1942 1947,
1943 1948
1944

All of the disabled veteran
claimants included in these fig-
ures were examined either medi-
cally or physically, or both, by
the Medical-Physical Bureau of
the Commission. The bureau dir-
ector is Paul M. Brennan,

The number of candidates gen-
erally — veterans and non-veter-
@nms — increased during 1946-7-8.

ORK CITY NEWS

As the NYC Civil Service Com-
mission is experiencing difficulty
in obtaining a sufficient number of
acceptances for some jobs, the
Proposal has been made, from
within its ranks, that the former
practice of issuing and receiving
applications by mail should be re-
stored. A resolution to that effect
was on the calendar at a reecnt
weekly meeting, but action was
deferred.

There is disagreement among
Officials at the Commission's office
as to whether or not the restora-
tion would effectuate a cure.
Some contend that the Commis-
sion really does not lack a suffi-
cient number of candidates, but
rather that in some instances too
few eligibles are ready to accept
job offers. This proved particu-
larly true of the Surface Line Op-
erator list for Board of Trans-
portation jobs, which is being cer-
tified subject to investigation, as a
lone experiment.

What Others Do

Heretofore all investigation was
complete prior to certification.
However, there are so few eligibles
on the upper part of the list whose
cases have not been completely in-
vestigated that the Commission be-
lieves that only a negligible num-
ber could possibly lose out finally,
after being appointed. The saving
is that no investigation need be
made of declines. Where the de-
clinations run inordinately heavy,
all the time spent in examining

the candidates, including the in-
