NYC Fire Officers

The NYC Fire Department is
working out a plan to change the
insignia of officers and to add a
generous display of gold lace to
the uniforms, The old insignia of
helmet and battle ax is considered
antiquated by officials and offi-
including Fire Commissioner
Frank J. Quayle.

Chief of Staff and Operations
Frank Murphy is getting up a
proposed arrangement which will
not be effective until it has passed
scrutiny of all the top-ranking

officials in the department and is
included in the departmental
orders.

What's Proposed

The tentative form of the ar-

Smash-Grab

Supervisors
Condemned

ALBANY, Oct. 11.—State super-
isors have been urged to avoid
“smash and grab” raids on the
duties and responsibilities of their
associates.

In a bulletin entitled,
Nice Guy, But,” the State Per-
sonnel Council writes: “It isn't
only your subordinates who need
your understanding and help.
‘The other supervisors in your de-
partment need to know that you
will share your information, help
in a rush and that you will never
make ‘smash and grab’ raids on
their duties and responsibilities in
order to build an empire for your-

self.”
Don't Run The Show

The bulletin adds:

“Your associates welcome your
-but they don't want you to
try to run their shows. They want
to know they can count on you
to discuss your common prob-

“He's &

hold out your contributions until

you can go to the boss with a
solution, implying they were mo-
rons from away back.”

Written by Mrs. Helen Esray
Chase, counicl staff technician, the
bulletin describes one type of su-
pervisor as one who “never tells
you what you need to know, unless

you ask,”
No ‘But’

In addition, “He will take your
job right from under your nose,
unless you nail it down. He agrees
with what you say, and then tells
the boss why you're wrong, He
never helps when you're rushed
and he is just doing ‘busy work.’

The Council concludes: ‘‘A good
supervisor is a nice guy with no
‘But’ attached.”

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

tewey Lauds New York's
ncomparable Civil Service’

New York is fortunate in hav-
ing an incomparable civil service
group. In war and in peace they
have continually shown a stead-
fast devotion to their duties and
responsibilities as public servants
and, above all, a genuine interest
in their work. Their efficiency, as
well as their good faith, is on the
highest level. With all these quali-
ties they have been of invaluable
help to my colleagues in the ad-
n-inistration and to me in our
efforts to give the people a gov-
ernment with both a head and a
heart.

Employees’ Devotion Praised

For our part, we have done our
utmost to show the appreciation
of the people for the high stan-
dards maintained by their public
servants. As you may remember,
in four years the average pay of
the 50,000 employees of the State
had risen from $1,700 a year to

$2,450 a year, I was glad this year
to advocate and to sign an act of
the Legislature which gave the
employees of the State an addi-
tional increase to help them meet
the heavy strains upon their fam-
ily budgets imposed by inflation.

I am happy to say that every-
thing this administration has done
for the employees of the State has
been fully requited by increased
efficiency and increased attention
to the public interest.

‘The Civil Service employees, for
their part, will have the accomp-
lishments of the last five years as
the best possible guarantee that
their interests will have the most
sympathetic consideration possible
so long as this administration is
in_office.

With kindest regards and best
wishes,

Sincerely yours,
‘THOMAS E, DEWEY

by H. J, BERNARD
ILBANY, Oct, 11—An insight
where the emphasis is to be
by The Civil Service Em-
ee. Association in its cam-
n for pension liberalization
given by Dr. Frank L. Tolman,
ident Of the Association, in a
to the County Division Dele-
ps’ Conference held at the
‘| DeWitt Clinton. J, Allyn
rns, of Westchester, 4th vice-
ident of the Association, pre-
Nd.
ne conference gave the dele-
s copies of a printed circular
Ing 19 resolutions adopted by
Association at the last an-
| meeting. The question was
{ stand should be taken on
» now and what new ones
red. When Mr. Stearns read
title of No. 7 on the list, Re-
ment System Liberalization,
Tolman said:
ditional conferences have
n held with the Comptroller
nk C, Moore) on our retire-
program. Comptroller
pre is very conservative on the
‘alization of pensions because
he financial condition of many
ubdivisions~ of government
says that half couldn't afford
support a liberalization pro-
mi now, although they might be
to do so after a few years.
agreed in principle that we
should select the projects
believe the most impor-
¢ two that would have
of getting through the
islature—and I believe that we
ht nominate the minimum
sion and the additional an-
y bills,
lnderstand that the minimum
sion would amount to more
h $1,200, since on a 30-service-
i basis, the State contributes
for each year, or $900, and
annuity contributions (made
the employees) average $500.
the average minimum should
about $1,400.
Sees Good Chance
H think that if we concentrate
have a good chance of ob-
\ng pension legislation this

‘he Comptroller felt that any
! of the projects on our pen-
‘beralization program, ex~-

Ito be

cepting possibly additional
nuity, would cost too much.”

Dr. Tolman explained that put-
ting the emphasis on the two
pension projects in no way meant
the abandonment of the rest of
the pension liberalization program
at the legislative session, but only
that the two projects with the
best chance of enactment would
be accentuated. Both benefits
would accrue to State employees
and all others who are members
of the State Retirement System.

Dr. Tolman suggested a policy
for continued success of County
Division operation: (1) activities
at the intimate local level, at
which officers, delegates and
members keep in close personal
touch with legislators; and (2),
aims that are general, and not
selfish.

Charles R. Culyer, field repre-
sentative assigned to the County
Division promotion and organi-
zation, discussed a wide range of
subjects. He cautioned his listen-
ers not to be taken in by argu-
ments of administrators that sal-
ary increments ar substitute
for salary iner explaining
that increments rewarded senior-
ity, enlarged experience and im-
proved efficiency, whereas salary

an-

increa: recognized increased
living sts and high responsi-
bilities. The additional pay re-

would about double present mem-

jmembers of The Civil Service
Employees Association, with their
own Ontario county chapter.

J. Leslie Winnie,
chapter member of the Associa-
tion Board of Directors, brought

necessity of raising salaries at the

increments for local employees in
all subdivisions of the govern-
ment.

Editorial Praised

Mr. Stearns mentioned a
LEADER editorial that protested
against the blind alley jobs that
result from employees being frozen
at the top of their grade. The
editorial praised the U. S. Civil
Service Commission for attempt-
ing to remedy this injustice and
urged other Commissions to recog-
s of the prob-
Mr. Stearns agreed whole-
heartedly with the editorial and
recommended that all present
study its informed text as a ground-
work for attaining in local sub-
divisions of the State at least
another increment after an em-
| Ployee has been at the top of his
|grade for a specified period. The
determination of the most equi-
table period was deferred, pend-
ing further study.

Vernon A. Tapper, Onondaga
county member of the Board of
Directors, stressed the need for
a 40-hour upper limit on the
work week in local jobs “as many
employees are now working longer
hours.”

“There are more employees in
local government working more
than 40 hours than those working
less than 40 hours,” commented
Mr. Stearns, in supporting Mr.
| Tapper’s argument.

Hours Get Close Attention

Charles A. Sharkey, of the Sul-
livan county chapter, another Di-
rector, indorsed the necessity of
uniform and fair hours, but warn-
ed that care must be exercised in
drafting any proposals, so that the
benefits would be shared by per
diem workers. He recalled a re-
duction from 54 hours a week to
45, during summer seasons in
the past, and a final year-round
45-hour week, whereby per diem
employees were paid at the same
rate as before, but for shorter
number of hours, resulting in re-
duced take-home pay and many
resignations. Mr, Stearns as-
sured Mr. Sharkey that the whole
plan for improvement of hours
was necessarily predicated on no
reduction in total pay, and that
only the hours, and not the in-
come, were to be lowered.

Robert K. Stilson, president of
the Schenectady county chapter,
also drew on his long experience
in public employ to make the
distinction between a 40-hour
week and a five-day work week,
for he emphasized that one could
work more than 40 hours and
have a five-day work week, and
less than 40 hours and not have
a five-day week.

Strong sentiment was expressed

ALBANY, Oct. 11—Four Junior
Electrical Engineers of the Public
Service Commission have written
to Charles L. Campbell, Adminis-
trative Director of the State Civil
Service Department, protesting the
holding of an open competitive
examination for filling positions of
Assistant Electrical Engineer. They
maintain it should be a promotion
examination and that various de-
vices have been used by the Pub-
lic Service Commission to prevent
the halding of a promotion test
for that title. The letter follows:

“We, the undersigned Junior
Electric Engineers, having been
informed that your Commission
has ordered a reposting of the
above position, which to date has
not been done, do hereby protest
the holding of an open-competitive
examination for the above posi-
tion and believe such position
should be promotional under Rule
XIV, in that we believe that these
Positions will not entail duties
above and beyond those which we
have been performing for the past
ten years and, in effect, are the
duties of assistant electrical engi-
neers; also, that at least two of
the promotional field have quali-
fied in examinations of equivalent
character,

WHAT EMPLOYE:

SHOULD KNOW

By THEODORE BECKER

__ is no excuse for you not
voting this year—and this ap-
plies whether or not your office
closes up shop on Election Day.
In other words, institutional and
public safety employees, if they
take the necessary preliminary
steps, can assure themselves at
least two consecutive hours off
from their jobs — if they need
that time to vote.

This is assured by a statute pas-
sed by the 1948 Legislature which
mekes this privilege clearly ap-
plicable to “all employees of the
state and all of the civil divisions
thereof, including cities, towns and
villages”. This clarification was
needed because the old law refer-
red to all employees of “munici-
palities”, thus raising a question
whether or not it applied {> state
employees and those of all civil
divisions.

As pointed out above, if your
work day is such that you have
two consecutive hours available in
which the polls are open, without
taking any time off, then you don't
really need the law and, hence, it
does not apply to you, But if your
working hours do not permit you
such two hours, then you are en-
titled to get them off without loss
of salary or any other penalty,
provided you are entitled to vote
at the election. If you haven't
registered, you can’t vote and
can’t get time off “to vote”,

Abnormal Requirements Charged

“We wish to state, and believe
we are in possession of sufficient
evidence to be sustained in court,
that the Public Service Commis-
sion has consistently required
qualifications for various positions
beyond normal requirements for
the sole purpose of:

“1, Misleading the department
of Civil Service in its de-
termination of type of ex-
amination,

Meeting special qualifica-
tions of a particular person,

“3. Discouraging the promotion-

al field.

“We are prepared to prove that
in recent examinations where the
‘proper people’ were involved,
written examinations were waived
or, where held, no charge of duties
were involved. It can also be shown
that where a promotional field
existed but an open competitive
examination was held, the em-
ployees were intimidated and dis-
couraged from filing. Further, that
where they filed and placed within
the first three, their appointment
to the higher grade was refused—

“Does it not seem strange that
the above positions have been held
vacant for over two years? It
would appear that the delay was a
stall while the administration en-
deavored to devise means to cir-
cumvent the promotional field
while the work involved was and
is being carried on by men in the
junior title, ¢

“For the above reasons and
others of which we are in posses-
sion, we, reiterate our protest of
any open competitive examination
for this position,

The letter was signed by Ken-
neth A. Valentine, Earl B. Weaver,
Gordon Courduff and David Duff.
It bore this postscript by Mr. Val-
entine, who is the department's
representative on’ the Association's
Board of Directors:

“R. P, Adams has refused to
sign the above protest. His reasons
ie more eloquent than his signa-
ure.

no good.

“2.—That the department head
always gets his way.”

hours for office workers, and that
only the county jail was regularly

as had existed previously in those
jobs. The five-day week was ob-
served, but in some few instances,
where it was necessary for legal or
service reasons to stay open on the
sixth day, a skeleton force was
provided on Saturdays, and the
hours adjusted for such rotating
employees. But this was being
gradually improved, he reported,
citing the recent change in the
law concerning the filing of docu-
ments in the County Clerk's office,
whereby the next legal day after
Friday became Monday, instead
of Saturday, and the five-day, 40-
hour week was thus extended,

“What we seek,” he explained in
regard to the statewide objective,
“ds that basic work shall not be
for more than 40 hours a week,
but with no increase in any pres-
ent hours and no reduction in
the annual pay, only in the num-
er of hours worked a week.”

Other than office employees do
not all have a five-day week in
Westchester,

and (2), Saturday closing—a five-

employees now working more days.
Unemployment Insurance

Mr. Flood also discussed unem-
ployment insurance as needing
stimulation, for although the legis.
jJature last year extended to local
governments the option of ac-
cording employees this benefit,
no municipality has yet signified
any intention of exercising the
option. The only cost would be
the actual amount paid out by
the unemployment insurance fund,
to be borne by the municipality.

The delegates hailed the ac-
tion taken by the Civil Service
Department following the adop-
tion of a resolution by the Asso-
ciation last year in favor of
prompter announcement of ex-
amination results,

Tolman ‘Great President’

Mr, Stearns extolled Dr, Tolman
and described him as a great
president. Dr, Tolman’s already
ruddy face grew ruddier. Friends
commented on how well he looked,

A resolution to make the re-
sults of County Division research
available to city groups was ap-

proved and to inform and assist

local efforts to get improvements
adopted.

The conference favored exten-
sion of the competitive system
throughout the State and voted
to make county survey data avail-
able to city groups.

Other speakers were Philip L,
White, St. Lawrence; Robert Bay-
jor, Ulster; Mrs. Frances Sweeney,
Clinton; Joseph D. Lochner, Ex-

tion; Catherine V. Canny, Steu-
ben; George Flach, Orange;

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

By MAXWELL LEHMAN

ALBANY, Oct. 11,— Former
United States Civil Service Com-
missioner Arthur S, Flemming
believes that—

Public employee
too low;

An obligation must be placed on
public officials to consult with
thetr employees on matters affect
ing employee welfare;

Operating officials should have
8 bigger choice in the selection of
people who work in their depart.
ments;

It. should be possible to move
good people freely from job to
fob within an agency;

Public employees must develop
a stricter code of conduct and
ethics;

‘The

salaries are

civil servant must
protection against
at the same

career
have greater
arbitrary dismissa
time an administrator should be
able to fire incompetent employee
without a lot of obstacles in
way.
Charged With Dynamite
The well-known expert, now
president of Ohio-Weslyan Uni-
versity, condensed into an hour's
address some of the major con-
clusions he had drawn from his
's as _a United Civil Service
1, He delivered his opinions
of the Civil
Association, at
in Albany,

E
before the delegate
Service Employees
their annual meeting
October 6.

Mr, Flemming knew that his re-
marks were charged with dynam-
ite, and admitted that he was run-
ning counter to prevalent opinion
on a number of issu

“What needs to be done if the
merit system is to rest on a solid
basis?” he asked.

Management Job

he argued, department

is “must participate more in

the personnel functions of @
ernment.” Because of the rava
of the spoils system, civil service
bodies in this country have been
given almost exclusive jurisdiction
over persormel, he pointed out
“We must begin to move in the
opposite direction.”

He urged that civil service com-
mirsion develop standards, and
then make sure that department
officials follow those standards.

“STATE AND COUNTY NEWS

BESS carga inte Ng

Flemming Asks Wide Change

In Civil Service Practices

“Today,” he continued, “we're
judging public officials on their
deing a good management job.
Therefore we must allow them the
privilege of helping recruiting the
men they need to do that job.
Moreover, I believe in a policy of
promotion from within. But the
department head must have suf-
ficient flexibility to move their
topnotch men around from one
job to another.”
‘Urges Higher Pay

Mr. Flemming urged that the
present Federal $10,330 job ceil-
ing be raised to $15,000, He prais-
ed the New York State policy of
paying better than U.S, salaries
for top officials. The Federal gov-
ernment has been unable to re-
crit the top men it needs, be-
cause of its niggardly pay policy,
Mr, Flemming also urged higher
pay scales at all levels. He ob-
jected to “patchwork salary
schedules”. He urged that local
governments “make it possible for
employees to purchase at least the
same necessities of life as it was
Possible for private employees to
purchase in 1941,

nsult With Emplo;

With earnest’ empha:
Flemming made the point t) ad-
ministrators must “consult” with
their employees, “Government
should say to officials and super-
visors: ‘Before you put into effect
policies and plans affecting the
welfare of employees, you must sit
down and discuss those plans with
the employees.” He suggested that

employee opinions be sought by
acministrators, and praised the
New York State merit award sys-
tem as a step in the right direc-
tion, He cited the experience of
Great Britain in seeking the ideas
of its employees. This would make
for improved management, he

feels,
Code of Ethics

In urging upon government em-
Ployees a strict code of conduct
and ethics, Mr, Flemming said:
“The career employee must be
willing to administer a program
with which he is in complete dis-
agreement.” The career employee
must refrain from political activ-
ity, must accept no favors from
the public,

The Hairline

Speaking on the question of
dismissals, Mr, Flemming talked
of the difficulty in dealing with
Federal employees who were up
on charges of disloyalty. “We were
determined, that we should give
the government maximum protec-
tion, At the same time, we real-
ized we might be attaching a label
to the employee he would never
shake in his life, a label that
would make it difficult for him to
continue to function as a member
of society,”

While urging protection against
arbitrary dismissal, Mr. Flemming
on the other hand asked that
when an administrator had to get
rid of an incompetent worker, he
should haye the support of the
rank and file,

The Work-Week

There should be a basic, maxi-
mum work week established;
which is now generally accepted
as being 40 hours, outside of ad-
ministrative offices and in office
work. In both the state and in
Westchester, the office hours are
usually from 37% to 38% hours
per week. The establishment of
@ maximum work-week does not
mean that people working less
than the maximum established
must work more, but merely affects
those who are working more than

e maximum which is established.

companion of the 40-hour week
should be a five-day week which,
while not universal as yet, is
more and more becoming the
standard.
Unemployment Insurance

the extension of unemployment
insurance to the public employee;
as it“has already been extended
by law to more than 90 per cent
of other workers, and as it was}
extended a year ago to the em-
ployees of the State of New York.
Under Chapter 844 of the Laws of |
1948, a measure which was spon-
sored by this Association, such |
Unemployment Insurance may be|
extended to local employees
the option of the municipality in-
volved. Under this law there will
be no charge for overhead or
other carrying costs against the
municipality and the only charges
made by the Department of Un-
employment Insurance will be for
any moneys actually paid out to
unemployed public workers of the
municipality.
Insurance

The local employees should be
able to obtain life, accident and
sickness insurance on a payroll
deduction basis if there are fay-
orable plans available and if they
are willing to bear the premium
costs themselves. It happens that
the Civil Service Employees As-
sociation has been able to obtain
very favorable low-cost group in-
surance plans through the power
of its large membership, and is
now able to make them available
to most of its members.

Retirement
The New York State requirement
em has recently been extended

| to the employees of St. Lawrence
County. The benefits provided by
our system, however, are not in
step with the more modern sy:
tems. The Association has bee
trying for some time to have this

stem liberalized. One of the
most important matters, we feel,
is the establishment of an equi!
able minimum retirement allow-
ance annually after a reasonable
number of years of service, At the
present time, there are instances
of employees working for 25 or 30
years at low salaries, and when
they are ready for retirement
they can get only four, five or six
hundred dollars a year allowance.

Good Government
From the chairman of the NYC
Board of Transportation:

I extend to The Civil Service
LEADER and the members of its
staff my sincere congratulations
on their achievements on behalf of
public employees since its estab-
lishment in 1939 and my pest wish-
es for its continued effectiveness
and success in that field for many
years in the future,

The LEADER has been a stead-
fast advocate of the merit princi-

Bovernment—the subject to which
your paper is devoting its atten-
tion as it begins its tenth year of
service to the public and to those
who have chosen the public serv-
ice as a life career,

We in the United State have es-
tablished the representative form
of democratic government as. the
method best suited for the main-
tenance of the ideals of democ-
racy. Those ideals, as set forth in
the preamble to the Constitution,
were “to form a more perfect
Union, establish justice, insure
domestic tranquility, provide for
the common defense, promote the
general welfare, and secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves
and our posterity,”

Cleveland’s Words

To Grover Cleveland has been
attributed the expression that pub-
lic office is a public trust. This is
particularly true of those to whom
is entrusted the administration of
the laws and regulations needed
to carry out and make effective the
policies and programs enacted by
the elected representatives of the
people. Those who exercise the ad-
ministrative powers determine in
large measure the success or fall-
ure of governmental programs,
Over the years we have expand-
ed greatly the scope of govern-
mental activity as our people have
recognized the paramount inter-
est of the village, city, state or
nation in a particular phase of
common endeavor, The promotion
of the general welftre has become
increasingly important and has
involved the government in an
ever widening circle of activities,

‘This expansion of the fields of
endeavor opened to Civil Service
employees also places on those em~
Ployees the obligation to broaden
their capacity for public service
by special training and study. It
is gratifying to note that the agen-
cies of government, our education«

Since the first issue of The
LEADER, I have been one of your
many thousands of constant read-
ers, and I therefore consider my-
self a member of your family. I
|have watched The LEADER grow
|in importance and prestige and I
am greatly impressed with the
splendid job that you have done
and are doing. Your news cover-
age is comprehensive and expert.
Your campaigns on behalf of e1
ployees are waged with fairne:
but vigor, and all told, you are
setting an example of high calibre
in journalism.

I know that the officers, men
and civilians of my department,
like myself, are absorbed readers
of -your periodical, and we all
realize that you are performing a
real public service in aiding re-
cruitment in all branches of gov-
ernment, editorially pointing the
way to necessary gains for em-
ployees, and at the same time,
taking a realistic and comprehen-
sive view of the complex situa-
tions, which after all, is the real
test of the calibre and value of
Civil Service LEADER,

federal, State and local employ-
ees!

T have been reading Civil Service
LEADER regularly and it has
helped me keep in touch with the
problems of Civil Service.

During my term as U. S. Mar-
shal and since my appointment
by Mayor William O'Dwyer as
Treasurer of The City of New
York, many items have appeared
which have interested me from an
executive's viewpoint. I think your
editorials have been splendid.
May you have many years of
service ahead of you.

SPENCER C, YOUNG,
‘Treasurer,

Sharkey Remembers
The Day

am the Vice-chairman of the
© Council:

4imes tiles. It seems only yes-
verday that you were around Vity
Hall telling everyone you planned
to start Civil Service LYADER
and make it a great newspaper in
the interest oi public employees,

A decade has passed and 1 see
that you are still in there pune!
ing and, moreover, doing a first
class job,

I have watched the paper in its
every issue and what 1 like par-
ticularly about it is the facu that
so many individuals among the
employees of our city government
are able to make theimselyes aeard
through the pages of your news-

N

paper. This is as it should be,
In my own experience of 27
years 4 city employee—12 of

them as a civil service employee—
I found that no group of people
better deserve the help and sup-
Port of leaders in their field, such
as yourself in the newspaper
game, than the many thousands
of faithful public employees in
the city, State and nation.
With congratulations and best
wishes, I am,
JOSEPH '’. SHARKEY,
Vice-Chairman,
City Council,

The Mission
To Safeguard Rights

From a majority member of the
NYC Council and candidate for
the Supreme Court:

As the month of October marks
the tenth anniversary of the pub-
lication of your newspaper, I con-
gratulate you on the splendid
Progress you haye made as a news-
paper dedicated to serve the best
interests of the federal, State and
city employees. They ‘are indecd
fortunate in having this medium
through which their rights are at
all times safeguarded and pro-
tected.

My best wishes for your
tinued success,

S, SAMUEL DI FALCO,

Outstandingly Useful

From a minority member of the
NYC Council:

Ever since Civil Service LEADER
started ten years ago I have read
it with great interest. You have
made it an outstandingly useful
paper, not merely to those em-
ployed in the Civil Service, but to
all interested in sound govern-
ment. You have reached far be-
yond the special interests of the
federal, State and city employee
to discuss broad problems of

con-

interest and social importance.
Moreover, these discussions have
been inte nt, illuminating and

broadly based.

I congratulate you upon the job
that you have done and expr
the hope that Civil Service
LEADER will expahd in useful-
ness during the years to come.

STANLEY M, ISAACS.

Burke Praises Work

From the President
Borough of Queens:

Congratulations to Civil Seryice
LEADER on the 10th anniversary
of its service to the federal, state
and city employees working within
New York, You have a decade of
unselfish work in the cause of
their welfare to look back upon,
and as you look, there is much to
be proud of.

I should like to take this op-
portunity to indicate to your read-
ers, the civil service employees,
how important their work is, in
my opinion, for the smooth funce
tioning of government. Without
them, without their devotion to
the everyday tasks—the everyday
services which have to be per-
formed for the public, our goyern-
ment could not function. It is a
tribute to them that they have
made careers out of public service.

FEDERAL

Commission

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11—The
U.S. Civil Service Commission has
submitted to Congress its 1948
annual report on the number and
types of within-grade salary ad-
vancements granted by Federal
agencies to employees as rewards
for superior accomplishment.

The Classification Act of 1923,
as amended by the Federal Em-
plovees Pay Act of 1945, provid

for two types of step increases.
One type is the periodic within-
grade salary advancement which
an employee is entitled to re-
ceive if his services and conduct
are satisfactory, his efficiency rat-
ing “Good” or better and if he
has served a specific number of
months—12 or 18, depending upon
the grade of his position—without
receiving a salary increase. The
other type is the additional step
increase granted as a reward for
superior accomplishment. This re-
port concerns only the latter type.

75 Per Cent in Lower Grades

The report shows that the
Commission reviewed 686 salary |
advancements for superior ac-
complishments during the period.
Of this number, 528, or more than
75 per cent, were granted to em-
ployees in the lower grades —
CAF-10 and P-3 or below; 158
advancements went to employees
in grades above CAP-10 and P-3.

The annual salary increases
were of various amounts, as spec-
ified by law, ranging between $66

and $300, depending on the grades
of the positions.

A total of 443 employees in the
Cler Administrative, and Fis-
cal Se: e were granted advance-
ments; 141 in the Professional
57 in the Subprofessional
41 in the Crafts, Protec-
and Custodial Service; and

Is Congress

Soa

reviewed, 548 were granted to
employees in fiscal year 1948; 138
were granted prior to that time,
but were submitted too late to be
included in the Commission's pre-
vious report.

What Won Increases

Salary advancements as rewards
for superior accomplishment are
granted to Federal employees for
the following types of outstanding
performance; (1) Sustained work
performance of such a nature that
it shows the employee to be out-
standing among those given the
highest efficiency rating; (2) the
initiation of an idea, method, or
device which increases efficiency
or brings about substantial econ-
omies in the public service; and
(3) a special act or service of an
outstanding nature, in the public
interest. There were 453 cases of
the first type, 45 of the second
type, and 188 of the third. Per-
sons who initiate an idea, method,
or device which increases
ciency or brings about substantial
economies in the public service
may be given either a within-
grade salary advance or a cash
award under Public Law 600,
Seventy-Ninth Congress. They
may not, however, be given both.

The first within-grade salary ad-
vancements of these types were
granted in fiscal year 1942, when
a total of 950 Federal employees
received them. Since then, the to-
tals have been as follows:
1,575; 1944733; 1945—1,468;
1946—716; 1947—1,247; and 1948
—548.

The report for fiscal year 1948
shows that the largest number of
salary advancements were granted
by. the War Department (179),
followed by Veterans Administra-
tion (146), Department of Agri-
culture (60), and Department of
the Interior (57)

34 Agencies Act Independently

Authority to make rewards for
superior accomplishment without
the prior approval of the Com-
mission has been delegated to 24
agencies. These agencies have
plans in effect, approved by the
Commission, for the administra-
tion of the rewards program for
their own employees, and the re-
wards are granted by the agencies
in accordance with standards es-
tablished by the Commission, All
cases are subject to post-audit by
the Commission.

The Commission approved 658
of the cases granted by the agen-
cies and disapproved 28. Agencies
which have not sent to the Com-
mission plans for making awards
and which therefore do not have
delegated authority, submit -cases

for the prior approval of the
Commission.

NYC Fire Officers are effected,
scheduled for November 1, look for
news of more administrative reor-
ganization of the Fire Depart:
ment by Commissioner Frank J.
Quayle, The Secretary of that de-

luncheon meeting at which Mayor
William O'Dwyer and many other
top NYC officials attended, on be-
half of the Histadrut campaign.
The goal is $10,000,000 to be
raised in the U. S. for rehabilita-
tion work among Jews in Palestine.

No sooner were charges hurled
by Republican Congressmen that
President Truman was leaving the
Republican vacancy unfilled on
the U.S. Civil Service Commission
for political reasons than the
President appointed James M.
Mitchell, of the Civil Service As:
sembly. Now there are two Mit-
chells on the Commission, the
president being Harry B. Mitchell.
But Madame Perkins still retains
her individuality. . , . The letter
to Fire Commissioner Quayle that
turned the trick in getting James
A. Lawlor promoted to Lieutenant,
was written by John P. Crane,
president of the Uniformed Fire-
men’s Association, so it shouldn't
be too hard to adjust the case of
the transfer to Staten Island.

Police Commissioner Arthur W.
Wallander expects to get word any
day now on how many Patrolman
he may appoint and when. He’s
asking for 500 and wants to get
them into the department as of
October 15.

A new federal Department of
Public Works under a Secretary
with Cabinet rank, is to be recom-
mended in the preliminary report
of the Hoover Commission on
Government Reorganization. A
survey was made for the federal
government at its request by Rob-
ert Moses, NYC Construction Co-
ordinator and top expert on city
planning and construction. Mr.
Moses is reported to have recom-
mended that the new department
assume the duties of the Federal
Works Agency, all civilian func-
tions of the Army Corps of Engti-
neers, absorb the Department of
Interior's Bureau of Reclamation,
and have authority to build post
offices and other federal struc-
tures.

Job Reclassification

city officials last week and re-
sulted in agreement that the
project should start soon after
the first of the year and that it
should be conducted by a com-

Preference

Vet Preference—Eye on the Ball!
Editor, The LEADER:

The existing Veterans Prefer-
ence Law, the Mitchell Resolution,
Condon Resolution, and Kings
County Legion Proposal all ap-
parently leave much to be desired.
The great majority of people be-
lieve them to be inequitable since
they grant excessive privileges to
some, and grossly handicap others,

Due consideration must be given
to the fact that six groups
of people are involved, and this
plan strives to distribute prefer-
ence in such a manner as to at-
tain relatively fair treatment to
all, The six groups referred to are:

1. Disabled Veterans,

2. Combat Veterans.

3. Non-Combat Veterans.

4. Non-Veterans.

5, Employing Agencies or De-

partments.

6. The General Public.

A. Preference to veterans should
not terminate, and should be
granted to all veterans on all ex~
aminations, including promotional
examinations.

Exam Re-opening Asked

B. Disabled veterans should be
allowed to reopen any examina~-
tion given while in service and
any held during the year follow-
ing separation from active service
or a year after discharge from a
hospital. Non-disabled veterans
who were previously employed by
the State should be granted the
right to take any promotional
exam which they missed due to
being in service and during the 6
months period following separa-
tion, This privilege shall merely
Place veterans on an existing list,
or cause a list to be established,

but nobody shall be dismissed from
employment solely for the purpose
of creating a place for a veteran,

C. All preference shall be en-
tirely on a point basis, and dis-
abled, non-disabled veterans, and

non-veterans shall take their place
on 1 list only, in the order of
examination grade after the pref-
erence has been added,

1, Non-combat veterans — 3

points.

2, Combat veterans (only those
with actual combat service)
5 points.

3. Zero per cent disability vet-
erans (service connected —
combat or otherwise) 5 points.

4, For every 10 per cent service
connected disability, an
added 1 point. (ie, A veter-
an in Class 4, with 30 per
cent disability, would be en-
titled to 5 points, plus 3
points, or a total of 8 points.
The maximum (veteran with
100 per cent disability) would
be 15 points.

5, All widows of veterans,
exception—10 points.

Arguments. in Favor

PERMANENT STATUS:

All employees of the State who
have served as temporaries, pro-
bationaries, or substitutes, either
appointed or otherwise, shall au-

tomatically be granted permanent
civil service status, if:

A, In 2 years they have received
in both years an annual rat-
ing of Excellent,

. In 3 years they have received
no lower rating than Very
Good.

In 4 years they have received
no lower rating than Good.
In 5 years they have received
at least 3 annual ratings of
Good, and 2 of Satisfactory.
For the sake of brevity, a full
set of arguments in favor of this
plan is not presented, however 3
points should be emphasized:

I. Under existing laws, many
highly capable and con-
scientious workers are fre-
quently dismissed after sev.
eral years of service, to be
replaced by less competent
and less experienced per-
sons, to the definite detri-

no

Comment

ment of the agency, By
affording employees the op-
portunity of attaining per-
manent status as outlined,
the efficiency ratings would
have a tangible value to the
employee, the Agency, and
the public, By establish-
ing an incentive system
based on ratings, the civil
servants would be inspired
to exert more conscientious
efforts resulting in higher
standards, better service,
and a strong possibility of
substantial savings to the
tax payers.
Veterans who have had
combat service, experienc-
ing the rigors of battle, and
exposure to the elements,
frequently suffer impair-
ment and injury to their
constitution which is not
always apparent, and does
not develop until later years.
. It seems only proper that
veterans with a fairly high
degree of disability should
be granted some advantage
over those with barely per-
ceptible impairments so
that they can be given as-
sistance in overcoming
their handicaps. Therefore
the amount of preference
should be increased as the
degree of disability in-
creases.
M. W. UHLMANN

from the Mayor's office. Wallace
Reid, chairman of the Board of
Transportation, was also men-
tioned, with the possibility of
John C. Laffan lending a hand.
The present prospect is that the
roject will be undertaken under
‘ayor William O’Dwyer's auspices
His official word on the subject
ig yet to be received, but unoffi-
cially it is learned that he is
interested in the undertaking.
President Joseph A. McNamara,
of the Commission, first suggested
that the reclassification be under-
taken jointly by the Budget Dir-
ector's office and the Commission,
and when The LPADER con-
veyed the idea to Mr. Patterson
he heartily accepted. Meanwhile
the idea has broadened somewhat
and sponsorship by the Mayor
himself now becomes a possibility

There hasn’t been an overall
reclassification in more than 30
year! The last one ¥ made

by the Mitchell administration.

Mr, Patterson would assign John
Carty to head the Budget Direc~-
tor’s contingent engaged on the
work. The Commission would se-
Ject Sidney M. Stern as its staff
representative.

New Exam Early Next Year
For Social Investigator

The NYC Civil Service Comm
sion expects all present Social In-
vacancies to be filled
from the existing list, ‘Chere will
be about 50 names left, after ex-
tensions granted to eligibles run
out, and these are sald to be
enough to complete the filling of
the 900 original vacancies,

The Commission's examination
shedule already is practically
filled up for the remainder of the
yoar, therefore such a large ex-

vestigator

amination would not likely be
held until early next year, an in-
formant at the Commission told
‘The LEADER, The statement was
added, however, that a ex-
amination certainly will be held
without loss of time.

Welfare Commissioner Raymond
M. Hilliard may try to get an
earlier date for holding the test,

clinations These ranged around
35 per cent and set a record in
NYC service,

The list contained 2,529 names,

The minimum requirements in
the new examination, the inform-
ant said, would likely be the same
as those in the last test. No col-
lege degree was required then and
there is no intention of making
such a degree a condition to ad-
mission to the new examination.

The total appointment pay is
$2,710, or a little more than $52
a week, An effort will be made to
obtain a higher pay scale for the
position, particularly for incluston
in the prospective budget which
will go into effect on July 1 next,
Budget Director Thomas J. Pat-
terson gave no encouragement to
any possibility of an increase in
the pay in the present budget.

Civil Service Reform Group:
Opposes Fire Dept. Bill

‘The Civil Service Reform Asso-
ciation has written a letter to Fire
Commissioner Frank J. Quayle,
opposing a Council bill to reor-
ganize the Fire Bureau.

The Association said that the
bill would take out of the hands
of the Chief of the Department
direct responsibility and control
over fire-fighting. ‘The group
deemed placing the Chief of De-
partment over the Chief of Staff
and Operation unwise, and spe-
fically mentioned that’ the Chief
of Staff does not ne arily come
from the competitive ranks, nor
acquire his position as a result of
passing an examination,

The Association also

deplores

the transfer of Joseph A, Lawlor |

from Harlem to Staten Island, and
intimated that the trans was
made because of views that he ex
pressed on legislation,
