Forgetting ideological differences, representatives of groups which on other
matters have been as distant as the poles attacked the proposal before the three
commissioners, who sat behind a table decked with petitions and telegrams.
The resolution upon which the hearing was held calls for an amendment to the com-

Grade 3 at $2,340.

| Washington, Dec. 18,—Federal employees ordered to #

their accrued and unused annual leave, the Comptroller Gem
eral ruled last week.
His decision was in response to a
request from the Secretary of Com-
merce asking if a Patent Office em-
ployee with 16 days’ annual leave
due him could be credited with it on
returning to work after serving in
the Naval Reserve. The employee
was summoned to duty as an Ensign
in connection with President Roose-
velt’s national defense order.
The Comptroller General decided
that because the employee con-
sented to assume active duty, he
automatically forfeited his accumu-
lated leave.

Merry Christmas
‘¢
B Christmas will hav.
passed, ‘The staff of Tae Le. , therefore,
takes this oceasion to wish its thousands of
readers a most Merry Christmas and to
vk them for the splendid support they
have given a paper which was first published
less than four months ago.
The Leader is justly proud of its
record. Week after week we have been
first with the news, and in accordance
with the statement we made in our first
issue, we have been “accurate, fair and
impartial.”
We are especially happy that our cam-
paign to have December 23 and December
30 made holidays for government employees
succeeded so well,
‘Thousands of men and women, who might
otherwise have been forced to work on these
days, will be able to enjoy two long vaca-
tion periods.
Tue Leaver wishes to thank President
Roosevelt and Governor Lehman for making
these holidays possible for fede and State
employees, We hope Councilman John
Cashmore's resolution is passed by the Board |
of Estimate and approved by the Mayor so
that city employees will get additional
Christmas vacations
Pay Cuts
HAE MeCarthy inerement law was passed
T by the old Board of Aldermen and the
rd Estimate and signed by Mayor
La Guardia, who certainly knew w
provisions of the Dill the city
The Mayor always has been a champion of
the underdog, and the MeCarthy law simply
provided for gradual increases over a period
of years for low-paid city employees
responsible official has ever questioned the
wisdom of giving employees these yearly
salary raises.
But for some strange
to withhold the 0 of the increments,
For example, the last inerement of $60 added
to a salary of $1,740 would bring it technic
ally to the salary niinimum of the next high-
would cost
reason the city tried
ist $
est grade ‘Therefore, the Mayor and the
3 Director decided that none of the
last $00 should he id. ‘The courts, how
ever, did not agree and, in the Denehy case,
ruled that an employee was entitled to in-
crements up to the maximum salary of his
grade, “Thus, he could get a final raise of
$59.99 to bring his salary to $1,799.99,
‘or a long time the Mayor has been try
ing to have the MeCarthy law amended to
fix maximum salaries at $1,740, $2,040,
mid so on, instead of the present
2,100 and $2,400, The Council, how-
ever, has not acted upon this proposal,
Now the Mayor, instead of placing the re
sponsibility of reducing the salary ranges on
the Board of Mstimate, has asked the Civil
Service Commission to reclassify the salaries
of several positions,
Che Mayor's statement this week that no
more appointments would be made from
Civil Service lists until budget difficulties are
straightened out and the salaries of city em
ployces regraded is a harsh one, indeed,
If the Mayor is taking this step to bring
pressure on the City Council to amend the
MeCarthy law, he is taking advantage of
hundreds of men and women who have
passed exams, been placed on eligible lists
and haye, waited patiently for appointment.

Xmas Vacations for All
| letters =
|
Sir: Being the sponsor of the “Three-Day Vacation Period,” Saturd
| Becember: 23 and 30, 1 desire to know if you meant this to apply to
State employees, competitive and non-competitive, or only those getting
Sundays and +
Saturday afternoons,
holidays.
I have been asked by a number of
employees in this institution if the
above dates apply to those who do
not get Saturday afternoons, Sun-
days and holidays, such as ward em-
ployees, etc, who get one day a
week,
If the latter is correct, I believe it
would be an injustice to make such
a discrimination. It is my conten-
tion that all employees should re-
ceive the same consideration in this
| respect. If, however, such employees
| are not included in the above, may
j1 suggest that you make an ef-|
| fort to have this vacation period ex-
tended to them? The two half-days
could very well be given at a later
date at the convenience of the in-
stitutions,
| James P. McKrennan,
| President
| Central Islip State
Hospital Employees Assn.,
Thanks Leader
Sir: A short while ago I
wrote you, asking that some-
thing be done to utilize the
“Printer List” for appropri-
ate appointment, and as was
to be expected ‘The Leader
came through 100 percent.
Within two weeks the Mu-
nicipal Civil Service Com-
mission used the list to ap-
point four more men.
1 write this note as a salute
to the fine work which you
have done, and will continue
to do in the future.

SIN,
‘ous assistance that we obtained from
Central Islip, L. 1.
Ed. Note: The Leader fully agrees |
jwith President McKiernan, In our]
campaign to have Dec, 23rd and 30th
made holidays for public employees,
we specifically have asked that alt!
city, Slate and federal workers be re-
leased from their duties on these |
days, whether they are competitive,
non-competitive, or labor class.
Every indication points to the fact
that alinost all employees will enjoy
the extra vacations; and that only
such employees as are indispensible
will be kept on their jobs,
| Police Eligibles
Sir: On Tuesday evening, Dee, 5,|
at the auditorium of Washington
Irving High School, the organization
of the Patrolman Eligibles Ass'n was
successfully completed. The fact
that almost a thousand men attended
that meeting attests to the foresight
|and thoroughness with which the
Temporary Executive Committee
| planned that event.
Now that the spade work has been
completed and the P. is fune-
tioning with full foree towards the
solution of the numerous and diffi-
cult problems with which it is faced,
we would like to expr
gratitude of the Tempe
tive Committee towards 14
| for its invaluable aid.
We know that without the advice
1 of Jerry Finkelstein certain
obstacles that lay in the path of our |
organization might not © been
overcome, Long after the Commit
tee had decided just what rights po-
jlice eligibles do have and ought to
have, we struggled with the problem
| of the proper, judicious, and effective
that might be employed for
ining and protecting these rights.
If it had not been for the g

Jerry Finkelstein, Morton Yarmon,
and other members of The Leader's
staff in the solution of this delicate
problem, as well as the assistance in
the actual mechanics of the or-
ganizing process, we might never
have reached our primary goal.
Needless to say, these sentiments
are those of every member of the |
Committee. If your staff will find |
time from its task of advancing the
interests of civil service through ad-
herence to decency and honesty i

that that Committee will be as fortu- |

have it, too.
Inside—and accurate — infor-
mation is that the committee, set up |
top legal, administrative and pro-
fessional positions, will recommend
that veterans’ preferences be pared
to the bone for those positions, but
that the benefits be left as they are
for all other jobs.
5,000 Top Jobs
In other words, in its report to
President Roosevelt, the committee
will recommend that the existing
provisions which give ex-service
men and their dependents first and
best chance for federal jobs be
drastically curtailed—but only as
they apply to about 5,000 federal
jobs, mostly legal positions,
| Veterans Group Angry
These are, however, the key jobs
in the Government. They have long
been exempt from Civil Service re-
quirements, In recommending that
the exemption be cut, the committee
will urge that in the competitive ex-
aminations to fill them, veterans re-
tain only one of the benefits they
enjoy for other jobs, namely the ad-
dition of five points (or 10 points in
the case of disabled veterans) to
their earned examination mark. To
this will be attached the proviso that
a veteran must first earn a passing
grade and that he must be within
the age limits set down for other,
hon-veteran applicants,
At present the veteran gets his five
or 10-point bonus no matter what his
ned grade, has a waiver of age
imits in his behalf, and, if disabled,

naturally, anger the powerful vet-

Recent use of eligible lists for appropriate positions in de-
partments other than those for which they were originally
given has emphasized the procedure of the Municipal Civil
Service Commission to fill vacancies by existing lists when re-
quirements and duties are similar.
Within the past few weeks, the Comm:
lists for Law Clerk, Law Examiner, Grade 2, and Patrolman,
P.D. special as appropriate for jobs as Investigator, Dept, of
Finance, and Special Investigator, Dept. of Welfare.
Investigator positions in the Dept, of Sanitation will be filled
from the Special Patrolman’s list, it was revealed, ‘The Special
list could not be used as the position requires extraordinary
1 ability, Paying $1,500 at the start, the jobs involve the
ment of those sections of the Sanitary and Administra-
tive Code pertaining to the Sanitation Dept.
While the position is now in the ungraded service, a study is
being made by the re sification committee of the Commis-
sion to formulate organized career opportunities.
Finance investigators start at $1,800, with mandatory incre-
ments to $2,400, They ald the Emergency Relief Division in
carrying out emergency tax laws. Special Welfare investigators,
in the $1,200-$1,800 ification, make non-social
service investigations to enforce the department's rules and
regulations and the public welfare laws.
The Municipal Commission, which has been a forerunner
and staunch supporter of this practice of declaring lists ap-
propriate, maintains that it provides greater appointment pos-
sibilities for eligibles, at the same time saving money,

More Air Cadets
(Special to The Leader)
WASHINGTON.—Possibili-
ties of enlarged Civil Service
opportunities in training air-
plane pilots were revealed
this week when the Civil
Aeronautics Authority an-
nounced that advanced
training will be given 90 of
330 student pilots who com-
pleted basic aviation courses
last year in colleges.
In addition, the War Dept.
announced that 400 more fly-
ing cadets will be chosen to
start basic courses during the
Winter months,
The supplementary work
which will be given to the 90
pilots will include courses in
engines and aircraft, naviga-
tion, radio, night flying,
cross-country practice, and
instruction in manoeuvres.
With the increased concern
in the nation’s air corps,
Civil Service tests for in-
structors can be expected.

With approval from Fire Commis- |
sioner James J, McElligott already
in hand, and a proposal of the Uni-
‘tormed Firemen’s Association's ex-
|ecutive committee ready for a vote
by members this week, the Munici-
pal Civil Service Commission yester-
‘day predicted that eligibility re-
quirements for promotion to Fire
Lieutenant would be reduced.
As exclusively reported
Leader several weeks ago, the com-
mission has suggested that Firemen
who have served two years be per-
mitted to take the promotion test.
At present they are required to put
in three years of service.
The commission proposal provided,
|however, that no promotion appoint
ments should be made until afte.
four years of service,
| It is expected that this original
suggestion will be modified some-
what before final adaption, and re-
|liable sources have informed The
Leader that the term of service be
fore taking a promotion exam might
be abolished altogether, but the
years of service before appointment
| might be raised to five y
Final action on the ell
quirements is expected before the!
first of the year, since the next Lieu-
tenant’s test is set est is set for Jan. 6.
