WASHINGTON, July 12—Th:
U.S. Civil Service Commission is
planning the announcement of
scores of examinations before
year’s end. Among them are the
popular ones for Junior Profes-
sional Assistant P-1 and Office
Machine Operator, CAF-1 to CAF-
5. Both of these will be announced
in various regions, including the
Second Region (New York and
New Jersey). College grads are
wanted,

In the Second Region there will
be, as an added starter to the
JPA test, one for Student Aid and
a third title, not yet disclosed, all

we reeions will make the announce-
| ment, probably in October.

The Junior Agricultural Assist-
ant test, P-1, also on the list, will
be held in the Second Region,
where most of the applicants are
usually graduates of agricultural
schools, particularly the Agricul-
tural College at Cornell. In addi-
tion, employees of the NYC Parks
Department seek these jobs.

New York-New Jersey Starter

As for the remainder of the
titles, they require a college de-
gree and specialized experience,
and not many of them will be
conducted in the Second Region.

Suggestions and Petitions
Says William F. McDonough,

executive representative of the
Association:
“The Nominating Committees

charged with the grave responsi-
bility of selecting officers of the
clation and members of the
State Executive Committee, are
anxious that the membership ex-
press themselyes as to their choice
of candidates in order that the
constitutional intent that each
nominating committee may give
“full consideration to all facts or
petitions presented to it by in-
dividual members or groups of
members” respecting candidates
may be fulfilled adequately. ‘The
constitution provides also for in-
dependent nominations.
Nominations Decide Leadership
“Democratic procedure means
full expression and fair play and
serious thought for the officers
and board of directors of The

Civil Service Employees Associa.
tion, The Association prides itself
upon the fine record of demo-
cratic action throughout its 38
years of dynamic functioning
within New York State.”

The Association Constitution
provides;

Easier Life for Pensioners
Sought in Retirement Plan

This is the final section of a
three-part article detailing the re-
tirement program of The Civil
Service Employees Association,
Based on years of care/ul study,
the survey takes into consideration
not only the requirements of the
employees but the financial prob-
lems involved in making retire-
ment improvements. The first sec-
tions of this article, which ap-
peared in the two preceding issues
of The LEADER, took up in detail
these matters: The need for op-
portunity to purchase additional
annuity; higher minimum pen-
sions; @ 55-year plan; vesting of
retirement benefits when member
leaves public service before retire-
ment; increased death benefit: op-
tional retirement after 25 years of
service, The final two proposals—
relief for present pensioners and
the necessity for eliminating Fed-
eral income tares on pensions—
are discussed below,

Longer hours of daily duty as
well as the type of work and the
environment of institutional ser-
vice indicate sound reasons for
the strong desire upon the part
of workers in prisions and in
various public institutions caring
for the mentally or physically ill

or defective for optional retirement

after 25 years of service even
though such a plan would be more
costly to the individual. The
duties of many other positions in
public service are so exacting and
exhausting in character, that the
general application of the optional
25 year retirement plan seems
justifiable.

As stated, public employees real-
ize that retirement at an earlier
age than 60 years which would
occur in many cases under the
25 year plan wotld involve greater
expense and the plans thus far
urged by them call for greater
contribution by the worker
throughout the 25 years of service,

years ago by the actuary of the
State Employees’ Retirement Sys-
tem, The study covered 2,694 em-
ployees and revealed the approx-
imate additional annual cost
would be $319,221.

The Association has sponsored
bills in both houses of the Legis-
lature for several years providing
for the 25 year optional retire-
ment plan covering the different
groups.

RELIEF FOR PRESENT
PENSIONERS

The Association is keenly con-
scious of the plight of many pres-
ent penstoners within the State
whose monthly retirement allow-
ance is very frequently below one
hundred dollars. Actually, the
average retirement allowance re-
ceived by the 8,000 or so pen-
stoners under the State Retirement
System is only slightly more than
a thousand dollars a year. A re~
tirement system must be judged
Primarily by the degree of sup-
Port it supplies to disabled or aged
members. It must be remembered
that the aged and the disabled
often require medical or hospital
treatment not needed by younger
People. The present high prices
of essential living needs for citi-
zens generally bear even more
tragedy on the retired person, Ob-
viously, a retirement allowance
which means the food, raiment and
lodging of the retired individual
and any dependent upon him,
should be sufficient to care for
at least the minimum needs. Ob-
viously, if the employed person
needs adjustment in his income
in time of inflation, the retired
person needs equal attention along
this line also.

The Association believes that a
moral responsibility rests upon the
officials of the State to move to
amend the laws and appropria-
tions to bring the retirement al-
lJowances under the State's own
plan to a purchasing level that
will safeguard the life and the
health of the retired members of
that plan. The Association has
urged this responsibility upon ex-
ecutive, legislative and administra-
tive heads and feels that the
problem is not one which ean be
longer ignored. If this requires a
constitutional amendment. then let
us have such amendment. If it
can be done by appropriating
authorities under laws governing
appropriations and it would
not seem that either constitutional
or basic laws preclude the doing of
what is right and humane — then
let us have action and have it
quickly. Many present pensions
given in recognition of very many
years of service in civil govern-
ment, are les than welfare allow-
ance would be. It must be under-
stood . that pensions paid em-
Ployees have always been con-
sidered as an integral part of
the wage plan and therefore the
adjustment asked is not charity
in any sense but a carrying out of
a definite obligation.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX ON

RETIREMENT ALLOWANCES

Despite the meagerness of retire-
ment allowances, the Federal
Government under its laws re-
quires a payment of income taxes
on such income. The Association
has appealed to Congress to
eliminate such; taxes; or at least,

to-nelieve: @-'substantial part of

the retirement allowance from in-
come taxation. The present Con-
gress has through a general tax
bill increased the exemption of
all persons over 65 by $600. This
means that all persons regardless
of how their income is derived,
will enjoy an exemption of $1200
after they have attained age 65,
But our retirement allowances
and those of other systems begin
at 60 and sometimes at 55, and
many men and women on pension
at those ages are just as badly
in need of relief as those at 65
years of age.

The State of New York does
not collect income taxes on re-
tirement allowances. It is fair
and just to seek like relief from
the Federal Government. The As-
sociation will continue to urge
upon the Federal Government that
it relieve the disabled and aged
from income taxes,

In like manner, the Association
is seeking to have death benefits
and benefits accruing to depen-
dents of pensions relieved from
Federal inheritance taxes, These
benefits are a part of the State
Retirement System Law. The tax-
ing of these comparatively small
benefits accruing to widows and
orphans often in the most reduced
economic circumstances, is a stret-
ching of taxing power beyond the |
reasonable or the moral. That it
occurs at all is indicative of the
neglect which often oppresses
groups small in number, It does
not compare well with the proper
intensive efforts to protect the|
interests of very large earners or
Possessors of wealth. The situa-
tion could be easily corrected and
doubtless will be as the facts are

THE NON-COMPETITIVE MISNOMER

T IS refreshing that the Civil Service Commission has

under consideration an extension of the competitive
class by including in the competitive service the Attendants
at Dannemora and at Matteawan, The Association has
pressed for such action for many years.

As Mr. Becker reminded us in last week’s LEADER,
“Positions once deemed impracticable to fill on a com-
petitive basis may become appropriate for filling on the
basis of competitive selection.” In fact, the Civil Servic
Commission is mandated “to transfer positions from this
(non-competitive) el. to the competitive class whenever
it may be found practicable to hold competitive examina-
tions to fill them.”

Laxity and Inconsisteney Found

The Association holds that the Civil Service Com-
mission has been lax and inconsistent in its jurisdictional
classification, It is surely time to halt the flagrant dis
gard of the constitutional mandate by appointing office
and the too easy acquiescence of the Civil Service Com-
mission in department requests.

As I wrote about a year ago:
“No one can read the tables of positions in the exempt
|and non-competitive classes in Civil Service of New York
State without wondering what principles guide the juris-
dictional classification and why positions are classified as
they are,

“Requests and recommendations in respect to classi-

fication of jobs as exempt and non-competitive come to
the Commi:

on from the appointing officer. They are
doubtless based more on immediate needs and desires than
on the nature of the job. The Commission and the Gov-
ernor are charged with the final decision, which must
be incorporated in the Civil Service rules,
Lack of Uniformity
“The facts speak for themselves. There is no uni+

formity or principle evident. Not all positions classified as
labor are properly defined as ‘common unskilled labor,’
Many in fact are of the highly skilled variety.

“Not all positions that ‘practicably’ can be filled by
competitive examinations are in the competitive cle
A very large number of such positions are in the non-
competitive class and some are in the exempt labor cla

“Tt would seem that the mandate of the Constitution
requiring appointment on the basis of competitive exami-
nation whenever practicable is not honored in the full
use but rather in the frequent abus

The annual picnic of the West-

most successful events that organ-

merriment.

The feature was a softball game

Saxon won by a narrow margin.

Prancis J. McNulty, Deputy

and was complimented for doing
a fine job. Mrs. Elizabeth W.

xamination for Stenog-

was revealed when the
Commission announced a two-fold
plan to help alleviate a serious
shortage of Stenographers and
Typists “in most of the large com-
munities of the State.”
Standard to Be Lower

Under the commission plan, it
is expected a new Stenographer
examination will be scheduled be-
fore the end of the year in which
the dictation standard will be low-
ered from 100 to 80 words a
minute.

Typists May Be OK'd

The State also hopes to obtain
additional eligibles for Typist po-
sitions by permitting candidates
who flunked dictation tests in the
recent Stenographer examination,
but who passed typing require-
ments, to qualify for immediate
appointment as Typists.

The commission estimated over
200 new eligibles for Typist may

be obtained by its action in per-
mitting Stenographer candidates
to pay the Civil Service fee for
Typist if they have qualified in the
Typist portion of the examination.
Similar action in lowering the
rate of dictation in Stenographer

amination. As a result, the com-

SHOULD KNOW

By THEODORE BECKER
stATUS OF LABORERS IN THE CIVIL SERVICE

WE of the features of civil
OFervice administration which
quses considerable confusion is

e status of laborers in the civil
Wrvice of the State, its civil div-
jsions

skilled laborers and such
jed laborers as are not

in the competitive or the non-
competitive class. In cities under
the civil service jurisdiction of the
state Civil Service Commission or
of a county civil service commis-
sion, Similar positions are classi~
fed in the exempt class, Such
positions in the service of the
state or a civil division, other
than a city, are likewise in the
exempt class, there being no
jabor class in such jurisdictions,

Rights Differ

By virtue of the distinction in
the Jurisdictional classification of
these laborers between different
cities, and between cities and the
State and its subdivisions, individ-
uals seeking appointment to such
jobs are subject to varying re-
quirements and those appointed
have different rights.

As to the labor class in cities
where such class is applicable,
Section 18 of the Civil Service
Law provides that vacancies shall
be filled by appointment from lists
of applicants registered by the
city civil service commission. Pre-
ference in employment from such
lists must be given according to
the date of application, subject to
the requirements of Section 21 of
such law that disabled veterans
be certified first, followed by non-
disabled veterans, and by non-vet-
trans, in that order, among each
group the date of application is
still controlling. Although a pros-
pective appointee to a labor class
position need not be known to
the appointing officer prior to
appointment, he may be required
to furnish evidence or pass such

examination as the city civil ser-
vice commission may deem proper
“with respect to his age, residence,
physical condition, ability to labor,
skill, capacity and experience in
the trade or employment for
which he applies.
How It Differs in State Service

tions in the State Service or in

volved.

In the field of the rights of in-
sumbents, in the event of a lay-
off, veterans preference in reten-
tion applies to the labor class em-
ployees but not to the exempt
class employees. In both cases,
however, the right of veterans
and exempt volunteer firemen
(scheduled to be laid off) to ob-
tain transfer to a similar job
applies,

Evidence Needed

Positions classified as laborers
by the State Civil Service Com-
mission are set forth in its regu-
lations. In order to justify
appointment of an individual as
an unskilled laborer, the appoint
ing officer is placed under a
special obligation. Rule V (4) pro-
vides that “no person shall be
deemed an ‘unskilled laborer’, un-
Jess facts relating to the work
done by such person are presented
to the commission showing that
such work is that of an ordinary
unskilled laborer.” Appointing of-
ficers are also required to notify
the Commission of all appoint-
ments made under this provision,
upon the date of the official action
in or knowledge of each case, and
must at the time of such notifica-
tion furnish a detailed statement
of duties of the position to which
the appointee has been assigned.

SCHENECTADY, July 12 — A
firm stand by the employees of
Schenectady has paid off in a high-
er pay raise proposal.

The employees, through their
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion chapter, had last week re-
jected a proposal of the City Coun-
cil’s Finance Committee for $100
annual pay raises. The amount
was not only too small, the chapter
insisted, but employees could never
accept any proposal which excludes
all those earning above $3,000 a
year, non-teaching school personnel
and librarians.

Robert Stilson, president of the
chapter, borrowed a quotation from
the Bible to express his view:
“Rains fall on just and unjust
alike.”

Then he continued: “Our organi-
zation has just finished a down-the-
line fight with the county board of
supervisors for equal treatment of
all employees. I cannot see how
we can relax our stand where the
city is concerned.”

Strong Opposition

A meeting of employees at the

USO on Wednesday, July 7, went

$3,

on record in strong opposition to
the City’s proposals.
Council Finance Committee had
recommended a $100 boost in pay
between now and October 1, and
$200 next year. A variety of limi-
tations were included. Employees
earning more than $3,000 a year
base pay would receive nothing.
Neither would 43 secretaries,
matrons and 36 laborers of the
school system, not 37 employees of
the public library. Those earning
above $4,000 include police and fire
employees. A total of 918 em-
ployees would have been excluded.

blunt re-
jection of the plan had been
brought to the Council, a caucus
of the Republican members met
(the Council is split with 4 GOP
and 3 Democratic members), and
came out with a counter-proposal.
The new proposal provides:

$125 increase to all employees
earning up to $2,000 a year;

$100 increase to all on the $2,000-
$4,000 bracket;

$75 increase to all earning above

Strong Stand by Employees
Wins Gains in Schenectady

All employees would be included,
Moreover, in next year’s budget all
these figures would be doubled,
That is, in 1949, those earning up
to $2,000 a year would get $250
pay increases; those earning be-
tween $2,000 and $4,000 would get
$200; and those above $4,000 would
get $150.

The LEADER could not de-
termine by presstime what the re-
sponse of Schenectady employees
was to the revised proposals. Early
indications were, however, that
that would be accepted.

The Schenectady chapter of The
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion has conducted some brilliant
campaigns in its youthful history,
the most recent being the expo-
sure of a “phony” poll which would
have made it appear that residents
of the City opposed a proper pay
raise for employees,

McDonough Helped

William F. McDonough, execu-
tive representative of the Associa-
tion, had come up from Albany
to advise with the Association on
its pay problem.

Prison Guards
Find Pension

‘The Prison Guards of the State
of New York feel that the prin-
ciple involved in their efforts to
obtain retirement at an earlier
age is confirmed in a bill sent to
the President for signature. This
bill (HLR. 6454) would equalize

the pension privileges of the Fed-
eral Prison Officers with the ex-
isting 20-year retirement provided

are not their own, for they may
be called upon at any hour of the
night or day. In order to protect
our country adequately against
law violators, young men should
be encouraged to enter this vital
work on a career service basis,
with the expectation of a reason-
ably liberal retirement.

Strenuous Activities Stressed

“The Committee believes it only
fair to grant such retirement
benefits because it is physically

“We wonder, now that the Fed-
eral Government favors earlier
retirement for its Prison Officers,
whether or not our N. Y. State
will follow in its footsteps.”

overates with The Civil Service
Employees Association in striving
for a lower retirement age for

100 State employees are engaged
dustry about New York State, sell-
in a new kind of job—telling in-
ing the State to the nation, and
the facilities of the State to its
pwn residents,

You didn't think New York
State needed publicizing?

Well, it wasn’t very long ago
that U.S. Senator Irving Ives
(then a State Assemblyman) said
time to time during the course of
in a committee report: “from
its hearings the committee re-
ceived complaints that industries
are leaving the State.” Moreover,
he declared, there was no agency
to attract industry into the State,
to advertise its indusrial advan-
tages, to help retain business” al-
ready here and to make studies
of industrial problems.

Like an Ad Agency

When you enter the precincts of
the Commerce Department, you
might imagine yourself in the of-
fices of a modern advertising
agency, except for the State seal.
The artists are bustling about
with layouts in their hands, the
writers are gathered in little
groups arguing about copy, the
executives are engaged in con-

ations with ~—_ businessmen;
maps, photos, montages, and bul:
letin boards are stuck on the wall
The strange hum of the adverti:
ing office is in the air here. And
among the employees one sees the
kind of intensity that exists among
newsmen or account executives
racing against deadlines.

When you meet the industrious
members of the New York State
Department of Commerce staff, it
isn’t difficult to understand why
this youngest of the State’s de-
partments has: won praise for its
work.

Directing the many functions of
the Department of Commerce
since December 1, 1947, Com-
missioner Harold Keller, a former
newspaperman who entered State
service first as Director of State
Publicity in this department. His
job, according to the laws regula-
ting the department, is to assist
in improving the economic condi-
tion of the State and to serve as
liais
Government. In this task he is a
sisted by a competent staff of
business consultants, economists,
statisticians, planning technicians
and public relations experts,

Part of the department's job is
to “sell” New York State to out-
of-state industrialists and busi-
nessmen as an excellent place in
which to locate their plants. An-
other job is to prove to busin:
men within the State that they
can enlarge their activities profit-
ably. The Commerce Department
also tells vacationists and tourists
about the nation’s finest vacation-
land—New York State.

The Divisions

To carry out these function:
Commissioner Keller has the sup-
port of three divisions—the Div-
ision of Commerce and Industry,
Division of Economic Development
and Division of State Publicity. In
addition, there has been set up
the Woman's Program of the De-
partment of Commerce.

General administration is head-
ed by First Deputy Commissioner
Alfred J. Worsdell, Jr.

The Division of Commerce and
Industry, headed by J. Harold De-
Nike, employs “Contact men” in
many fields who process specific
business inquiries. The Bureau of

itol in Albany, in a business of-|—

Deputy Commissioner Donald H.
|Davenport is director. This divi:
ion carries out research projects
affecting the economic weifare of
|the State and assists in commun-
jity planning and development.

The Staff
A staff of editors, writers, arti
|photographers, radio, motion pi
jture and other specialists is at
|work in the Division of State Pub-
licity under the direction of Her-
bert C, Campbell, publicizing the
|diversified business and recrea-

News magazines,

advertising, and |
posters are th emeans by which
jthe story of New York State is
|told, to stimulate its commerce
|and industry, and to attract tour-
jists to the State as a vacation
| wonderland. The Division also sup-
plies general information about
|New York State sought by the
public, |

The Woman's Program is di
rected by Deputy Commissione
Jane H, Todd, and a staff consist-
ing entirely of women,

On-the-Spot Seryice

The department employs re-
gional managers and consultants
for on-the-spot service to business-
men at 11 important centers. The
regional offices are at Albany,
|Binghamton, Buffalo, Elmira,
Kingston, Mineola, Ogdensburg,
Rochester, Syracuse, Utica and
White Plains. Branch offices are
|maintained in Washington and
New York City. The Washington
Office, established during the war
to help New York State indus~
tries get war contracts, serves as
contact with the Federal Govern-
ment agencies and with foreign
embassies interested in interna-
tional trade. The New York City
Office serves the domestic interests
of the metropolitan area and the
foreign interests of many upstate
concerns.

Limitations and Reductions

11. Additional Provisions—These
ue limiting clauses permitted by
hw and should be closely examin-
«i The most common limitations
id reductions will be described
ere, None of them is found inj
the Group Plan of Accident and
Sickness Insurance.

(a) Hernia coverage. Many in-

dividual policies exclude this

coverage.

in or on any
yehicle or mechanical de
vice for aerial navigatior
The Group Plan pays for
accidents on commertial air
tines; however, it does not
pay for injuries in private
planes. |
c) “Any loss caused directly or |
indirectly from venereal di:
eases or syphilis’. No such
limitation in the Group
Plan. :
“Any disease, illness or in-
jury affecting the organs
peculiar to women.” This is |
a most serious limitation
for a group of this kind.
This limitation is not found
in the Group Plan policy.
Tao the contrary, equal
treatment of the sexes, pre-
vails under the Group Plan. |
The premiums are different
for men and women, but |
women are not required, as
is so often the case in or-|
dinary insurance, to reduce
the amount of monthly in-|
demnity by about one-half
when past age 40 or 45, and
all policies cover pregnancy.
Recently a story came to us
Yhich highlights these points. A
policyholder in the Plan was visit-
‘d by two men from another ac-
cident and sickness insurance
‘ompany one night, and after they
d started on their sales talk,
ur policyholder informed them
she already had income protec-
tion, They asked to see her policy
ind this young woman had no
hesitancy in showing it to them.
After they had read it, they made]
{n abrupt departure. Furthermore,
they admitted they could not offer
‘nything like the same protection
Mt anywhere near the same cost.
(e) Requirement that the illness
originate before the effective date
of the policy.

Many policies state that they
will not cover a disability
“unless the disease is con-
tracted and the disability
begins while the policy is
in force.” This means that
if a person took out a policy
when some sickness had al-
ready started, yet had no
knowledge of it, nor any
medical or surgical advice
or treatment, the ordinary
individual policy would not
pay you at all. is not
true, however, of the Group

(ay

Sickness

Insurance Is Explained

Plan. Unless we can defin-
itely prove bad faith on the
Part of the applicant, the
claim is paid. =

This situation is often
brought out in heart cases.
We've had many- claims
where one member of the
family had heart trouble
but because of possible in-
jurious effect on that per-
son, the doctor would not
tell the patient what was
wrong, but would treat the
Patient for it. In this case
we would definitely be liable
under the group plan policy
while most individual pol-
icies would not pay.
House Confinement—House
confinement for the dura-
tion of the disability is re-

ie

quired, only half payment is
made for the length of dis-
ability when not house con-
fined. This is especially true
tegarding sickness. The
Group Plan has only one
requirement treatment
once every week by a licen-
sed physician. House con-
finement is not required ex-
cept during a period of va-
cation or leave of absence.
Mental Disease. This is very
often excluded. It is not ex-
cluded under the Group
Plan. It is treated just as
any other illness. (It should
be noted that many thou-
sands of persons are re-
quired in the State of New
York alone to care for the
mentally ill and they know
the value of this coverage).
Accidents occurring while
under the influence of aico-
hol are very often not paid.
The Group Plan has no
such limitation.

Pregnancy and Childbirth,
The ordinary policy does
not pay for childbirth under
any circumstances. ' Pay-
ment for one month under
the Group Plan is an ex-
tremely liberal provision. It
should be noted that the
Plan pays only for the
period of confinement after
the policy has been in force
at least ten months.

12. Starting day of coverage and
length of payment.

All policies pay from the first
day for accidents. The non-occu-
pational accident policy pays for
5 years for any one accident and
the occupational accident cover-
age pays for one year for any one
accident. All policies pay from the
8th day for sickness, for a period
of one year for any one sickness,
But remember the Company can
not terminate your coverage when
you have had a serious or chronic
disability except for certain re:
sons shown before.
aan Sick Leave and Other Bene-

No matter whether you receive
your salary from the State, or
whether you receive other benefits
from other sources, our Company
will pay you the entire amount
due according to your policy.

14, Grace Period

The “grace period” is the length
of time that the protection of the
insurance continues after the
policyholder has ceased payment.
In the Group Plan it is 31 days.
This is much longer than found
in other policies.

Questions should be addressed
to Charles A. Carlisle, Jr, 423
State Street, Schenectady, N. Y.
They will receive his personal at-
tention.

Quickest Lunch
In History

ALBANY, July 12—State Liquor
Authority employees at 39 Colum-
bia St. took an early lunch the
other day—at 10:35 to be exact,

That was the official “checking
out” time on the timeclock used
by SLA employees. When the em-
ployees checked in again at 1 p.m.
the timeclock still punched out
10:35 a.m.

Maintenance men soon had the
clock ticking away again, but not
soon enough to prevent authority
employees from chalking up the
“quickest lunch period” in State
history.

Non-vet Loses in Suit
Over Vet Getting His Job

WASHINGTON, July 12.—The
U. S. Supreme Court denied an
appeal made by a laid-off non-
veteran government worker who
lost his job in a reduction in force.
He had many years of civilian
service. A veteran with an equiva-
jent efficiency rating, but less civil
service time, was retained.

In denying the appeal the Court
upheld the Commission's retention
preference regulations as correctly
interpreting the intertion of Con-
gress in enacting section 12 of the
Veterans’ Preference Act of 1944,

Merit

MAvkicz KOSSTREN is Chief
of the Fiscal Bureau at the
NYC Civil Service Commission.
Last week his 11-year career with
the Commission was climaxed
with a promotion to the title of
Accountant, and his fellow work-
ers and superiors applauded, in-
cluding President Joseph A. Mc-
Namara. Unanimously, they agree
that it is a reward for a job well
done.

Here's a gauge of the sort of
person Mr. Kosstren is: “The sat-
isfaction you get out of working
in city service and doing a job,
more than outweighs any differ-
ence there might be in civil ser-
vice and private industry pay
scales.”

Did Well in Army, Too

Mr. Kosstren entered city ser-
vice in February 1937 as a Clerk,
Grade 1, in the Commission’s Cer-
tification Bureau, and has been
with the Commission ever since,
except for four years in the Army,

Just before enlisting in the
armed forces, he took a promotion
examination for Junior Account-
ant, and was promoted to that
title while still in the army in
July, 1945.

In the Army it was not long be-
fore is ability was recognized,
and he was assigned to Officers
Candidate School from which he
was graduated as a 2nd lieuten-
ant. He saw service overseas at
Leyte, Hollandia, Luzon and Jap-
an, and was awarded the Bronze
Star for his activities in Leyte.
He was a Ist Lieutenant at the
time of his discharge,

Mr. Kosstren returned to the
Commission in March, 1946 as
Chief of the Bureau of Informa-
tion and Records. Eight months
later he became Chief of the Fis-
cal Bureau. Last February he took
the Accountant promotion exam-
ination and got 99.4 per cent on
the written part. His promotion
came from the resultant eligible
list.

Compares Opportunities

“The opportunities offered to
people entering civil service com-
pare favorably with those offered
by private employees,” Mr. Koss-
tren says in drawing on his ex-
periences in city service. As for
himself his immediate goal is tak-
ing the promotion examination for

Commission,

By CHARLES SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, July 12.—Pres-
ident Truman announced that he
will urge Congress to enact a re-
classification of the poistions in
the Federal service “which will set
Federal pay scales at the proper
level for all employees.” He issued
a statement, in connection with
his signing of the Federal pay
raise bill, calling “intolerable” the
situation that now exists, under
which some employees receive
higher pay than the administra-
tors and executives under whom
they work.

The President very seriously
said that he had no intention of
letting the matter rest, adding:

“There are approximately two
million men and women working
in the Federal Government. They
are conscientious, hard-working
loyal citizens who are rendering
an outstanding service to the
people of this nation. I have said
before and I say again that I
have the greatest respect and re-
gard for their devotion to duty
and the work they are doing,

Asks Modernization

“I want these employees to
know, therefore, that in the in-
terest of correcting this intolerable
situation and strengthening and
improving the career service, I
shall urge that the Congress pass
legislation which will set Federal
pay scales at the proper levels for
all employees, including members
of the Cabinet and the heads of
tne independent agencies, as well
as persons who are occupying key
positions in the professional, scien-
tific and technical fields, and mod-
ernize and simplify the Classifica-
tion Act of 1923, and once again
provide a proper relationship be-
tween jobs,

Special to The LEADER

WASHINGTON, July 12—Under
a new plan just announced by the
U.S, Civil Service Commission for
speeding placements in shortage-
category jobs, agencies will be al-
lowed to perform phat practically
amounts to “direct recruiting”, the
on-the-spot test-and-hire employ-
ment method used just prior to,
and during, the war. Appointing
officers will be able to hire prob-
ationally persons found by the
civil service examining boards op-
erating on their behalf to meet
the competitive requirements for
employment. Under certain condi-
tions, an appointment can be made
immediately,

Voluntary with Agency

The plan is a voluntary one so
far as agency participation is con-
cerned, If an agency agrees to fol-
low the simpler of the two methods
presented under the plan, all elig-
ibles so recruited (to whom objec-
tions are not sustained by the
Commission) will be appointed
within 30 days of the date they
become eligible.

Tf an agency will not agree to

select all eligibles so recruited, it

of the closing dates.

Junior Professional Aided

A Junior Professional Assistant
exam, and its running-mate, the
Junior Agricultural Assistant exam
will probably be announced in
October, The U.S. Civil Service
Commission recently asked the
agencies which use the JPA lists
to submit any suggestions they
may have as to changes desired
in the requirements or in the
types of positions which should be
included as options under the JPA
announcement. In determining
which options to include, the
Commission will have to consider
also the number of eligibles still
on tap from the exams given last
year, and-the needs of the service.
It is likely that some kinds of
positions which were included in
the 1947 JPA exam—those for
which there is a considerable de-
mand for eligibles, such as Lib-
rarian, Patent Examiner, Chemist
and Engineer—will be handled as
separate announcements before
October. The Patent Examiner
announcement, which was released
early this month on an “open
continuous” basis, automatically
eliminates the Patent Examiner
option from this year’s Junior
rotexslonel Assistant examina-

ion.

Flemming to Become
University President

WASHINGTON, July 5.—U, S,
Civil Service Commissioner Arthur
S. Flemming will resign in the
fall to accept the presidency of
Ohio Wesleyan University, Dela-
ware, O.

Prior to his appointment to the
Commission in July, 1939, Mr,
Flemming was director of the
School of Public Affairs at Amer-
ican University, Washington, D. C,

Commissioner Flemming is rec-
ognized throughout the govern-
ment as one of the country's most
conscientious and energetic cham-
pions of the merit system of public
employment, says a Commission
announcement.

No intimation has come from
the White House as to who will
be appointed to succeed Mr. Flem~
ming, a Republican of Kingston,
N. Y. The job would go by law
to a non-Democrat, as the two
other Commissioners are Demo-
crats.

2,900 Out of 10,000
Pass Typist-Steno Tests

Out of 10,000 candidates, the
U.S. Civil Service Commission,
Second Region, has obtained reg-
isters consisting of 1,900 Typist
eligibles and 1,000 Stenographer
eligibles. The Commission re-
garded the examination as being
‘not stiff”.

Examinations for jobs in the
same titles are now open to 17-
year-olds, particularly to attract
the June graduates of high school
and commercial schools. The ex
pectations are that the percent.
age of candidates to pass the new
examination will be higher than
the 30 per cent who passed the

Social Investigator
List Is Certified

The Social Investigator eligible
list was rtified to the Depart

ment of Welfare by the Municipal
Civil Service Commission, it was
announced,

‘There will be about 200 appoint-
ments every payroll period until
the provisionals are replaced by
eligibles. The probationary period
leads to permanency after six
months of satisfactory service.

‘The first certification was of more
than 600 names, to cover the
first two payroll periods and allow
plenty of lee for declinations.
There is some speculation as to
whethe! declinations will run
higher than usual, because some
provisionals who received three
equivalent increments are now
felling $2,160. The appointments
will be made at $2,050, instead of
at the old rate of $1,800, as So-
cial Investigator is one of the
titles in which the $250 permanent
pay increase is allowed on original
appointments.

a year less as regular appointees.
He said that they will have to
make up their mind whether to
take it or leave it, when the
steady job offer is made, and in-
timated that there was no need
for any further conferences on
the subject.

Some of the Social Investigators
held a rally recently opposite
City Hall Park, in which placards
were carried, decrying “Pay Cuts
in the Welfare Department.” It so
happened that Mr, Patterson was
on his way to a conference at
City Hall on the work of the
Mayor's Committee on Adminis-
tration, saw some signs in the dis-
tance and heard protesting voices,
but did not know the exact nature
of the event. President Joseph A.
McNamara, however, was on his

Broadway, two blocks
away, and, arriving at Warren
Street, looked in for a moment on
the demonstration. He found that
the rally was inciting the public
to believe that wages were being

had occupied positions they had
been most eager to accept, had
been granted equivalent incre-
ments, although provisionals do
not come within the compulsory
benefits of the increment law, and
were complaining because they
would be offered $250 more than
the salary at which they were will-
ing to take the job when it was
advertised in the civil service ex-
amination,

There are nearly 1,000 provi-
sionals in the Social Investigator
title and Commissioner of Welfare
Raymond Hilliard is anxious to
have eligibles appointed as soon
as possible. Eligibles include a
larger number of _ provisionals
than normally obtains in exami-
nations, but the appointments
from the list must be made in the
order of standing, giving effect to
veteran preference. Some provi-
sionals will lose out, only to be
reached for appointment later.
Meanwhile they will not be work-
ing for the City, even as provi-
eonne at least not in the same

tle.

Ruction from Start

The Social Investigator exami-
nation has been a source of
trouble both to the Commission
and the department, At the start
there was objection to the ab-
sence of requirement of a college

McNamara Seeks Raise
For Examiners and Aides

Undismayed that he was un-
able to attain salary increases for
the Examiners and Assistant Ex-
aminers in his office, beyond the
$250 general raise, President Jo-
seph A. McNamara of the NYC
Civil Service Commission says that
he will keep right on trying.

He holds that these employees
particularly are underpaid, The
Examiners should get the same
pay as high school teachers and
the Assistant Examiners the same
pay as elementary school teach-
ers, he maintains. In substantia-
tion, he submitted to Budget Di-
rector Thomas J. Patterson the
preliminary requirements for the
Foouninee and Assistant Examiner
es

“Anybody who was admissible
to the Examiner and Assistant
Examiner tests had _ sufficient
qualifications, respectively, for the
high school and elementary school
teaching tests,” Mr, McNamara
told Mr. Patterson, |

Mr, Patterson scrutinized the
the data and nodded. From then

Budget Director Thomas J. Pat- |

Firemen to Lieutenant, one Fire-

appointment of 85 Firemen, as of |
August 1. This is in line with the
Fire Department’s request and
confirms the forecast made two
weeks ago in The LEADER.

The City Planning Commis-
sion, of which Bob Wagner, Jr.,
is Chairman, has unofficially ap-
proved the request of Commis-
sioner Quayle for two new fire-
boats, total cost $1,500,000. If one
boat is purchased the cost is $800,-
000; buying two at a time saves
$100,000. Commissioner Quayle
convinced the Commission that
two are needed, to replace boats
more than 40 years old.

Of the fleet of ten fireboats the
department owns, one isn't being
operated, as it was condemned by
the U.S. Shipping Board, and only
six are ship-shape. The fireboats |
are important in fighting fires on
Piers and on ships in the harbor:
also for emergency water supply
to the City. The Golden Jubilee
exhibit will show that.

Official approval of the appro-
Priation will be voted on July 22.

There were more than 6,000
fires in automobiles last year.
During the first five months of
this year the number of false
alarms increased about 600, the
number of fires decreased about
160. The monetary losses increased
although the quantity of merchan-
dise and material loss decreased.
That only reflects inflation.

‘The Fire Department is willing,
ready and able to take over the
Emergency Squad work of the
Police Department, and the trans-
fer of function would involve no
additional cost, so the city would
save $1,500,000 a year. Budget Di-
rector Patterson has the Fire De-
partment’s report of how it would
perform the work.

“We can take it over without
any cost,” said Commissioner
Quayle.

Latest to have their grades ad-
vanced on the strength of credit
for service in the Police Depart-
ment are Emil J. Knips, E. 320;
Vincent Pandolfo, H. 124; Charles
I. Ostrander, H. 277, and Pinn N.
Schanke, E. 223. Fireman Pand-
olfo went from 3d Grade to 2d,
the others from 4th to 3d.

State To Decide

On NYC Leeway
For Provisionals

Special to The LEADER
ALBANY, July 12—The State

was a medical as well as a dental | Civil Service Commission has re-
| ceived the resolution adopted by
the NYC Civil Service Commis-
terson has approved budget certi-| Sion and approved by Vincent R.
ficates for the promotion of 18 | Impellitteri, as Acting Mayor, to

extend the war-time provision hir-
Man to Marine Engineer and the|ing rule for another year, until
June 30, 1949. It allows a longer
period for employment of provi-
sionals.

The NYC Commission is anxious

to have the resolution approved/
by the State Commission. Tha’
would make the amendment
fective. In support of his request,
President Joseph A. McNamara, of |
the NYC Commission, sent a let-|
ter to President J. Edward Con-

way, of the State body, explain-
ing why approval was in the pub-
lic interest and giving his word
that there would be no slackening

of the effort to replace provisionals

with eligibles.
Faster Improvement Soon
The non-existence of eligible

lists, he explained, which brought
about large-scale provisional hir-

ing, as a consequence and after-
math of wartime conditions, was
being cured, he added. Soon all
the large eligible lists will be
ready for certification and the de-
crease in the number of provi-
sionals would be at a far more
rapid pace.

If the resolution were disap-
proved, and provisional hiring
were limited to six months, a
large amount of clerical work
would have to be performed to
no advantage, he pointed out.

It is estimated that there are
now 25,000 provisionals employed

by NYC, the largest number in

history. The NYC Commission ex-

"| pects to reduce this to the peace-

time norm for provisional em-
ployment, about 2,000.

Welfare Dept. Reorganizes
Service Rating Methods

By PHILIP FINE

Instructions have been issued
by Welfare Commissioner Ray-
mond Hilliard to Mrs. Margaret
Burke, Director of the Division of
Personne] and Training, to insti-
tute a simplified and expeditious
method of service rating and to
conform the rating method to
what prevails generally through-
out the city departments.

The action was taken on com-
plaint of the Municipal Civil Ser
vice Commission that service rat-
ings from the Welfare Department
habitually came in late—the very
Jast ones, in fact—that they were
verbose and that they showed a
decided trend toward favoring
particular employees because of
excessively high service ratings,

Over-Rating Charged

In _ promotion examinations,
Record and Seniority have a com-
bined weight of 50 and the other
competitive element, the written
test, a weight of 50 also. Anybody
who gets a superior service rat-
ing is given a substantial lift in
the examination, since the two
percentage ratings are ayeraged to
produce the final score, Veteran
preference then remains the only

Waivers Must
Be Signed for
‘Pay Increase

The first official action in re-
gard to making the $250 perman-
ent pay raise legally effective will
follow the holding of a public
hearing on Friday, July 16, at 2:30
pm. at the NYC Civil Service
Commission, on a resolution waiv-
ing the classification rules, so that
jemployees can sign waivers to get
{the extra money.

The raise pierces the grade
maximums in many instances and
otherwise affects nearly all the
grades. Pending the adoption of a
general plan of regrading, to in-
corporate the raise, waivers will be
authorized, This practice has
been followed in the past and
many employees are still signing
waivers on account of an old raise
of $120.

‘The final solution of the grad-
‘ng problem will be reached after
conferences between representa-
tives of Budget Director Thomas
J. Patterson and the Commission.

Not All Newcomers Benefit

One rub concerns inclusion of
the raise in the salaries of those
yet to be appointed to city ser-
ve been appointed
ince July 1 last. As to some titles,
it has already been decided that
the raise applies, and it is being
applied in appointments recently
made or about to be made. The
included titles are Patrolman
(P.D.), Fireman (F.D.), Sanita-
tion Man, Transit Patrolman
(Board of Transportation), Bridge
and Tunnel Officer, Correction
Social Investigator.
Other titles are about to be add-
ed. However, Mr, Patterson is
convinced that not all titles will
be included in the raise group.
Just what plan will be worked
out, so as to justify the granting
of the raise to some while deny-
ing it to others, is not yet even
in the surmise stage.

were numerous and handicapped
other contestants in the promo-
tion test for promotion to Clerk,
Grade 3. The lists in this title for
all the other departments have
been issued, but the Welfare De-
partment list won't be out for a
couple of weeks, because it will
take that long for an Examiner
and four Assistant Examiners to
mull through the wordy service
ratings.

Commissioner Hilliard is most
anxious to have his own depart-
ment’s lists processed as fast as
the lists of other departments. He
has completed his check-up of the
accusations made by the Civil
Service Commission and finds
them substantiated. The condi-
tions arose long before he, or even
his predecessor, Benjamin Field-
ing, became Commissioner,

The Accountant promotion list
in the Welfare Department was
the last one issued in that promo-
tion series, for the same reason.

Favoritism Charge Explained

The charge of favoritism arose
from the fact that there were
hundreds of service ratings higher
than 1% in the Clerk, Grade 3
promotion test, compared to only
dozens, or less, in the reports from
other departments,

‘The Commission holds that no-
body is entitled to a service rat-
ing higher than 1% just for doing
a@ routine job well, but that to
support such a superior rating the
work must. be of a calibre far
beyond the call of duty and evi-
dencing originality of thinking in
attaining efficiency, economy, im-
provement of methods and pro-
cedures or other attainment in
the higher reaches of adminis-
tration.

Ratings Being Trimmed Down

The Commission felt that the
department, whose supervisors
had prepared the service ratings,
had “thrown the book at us,” as
some of the service ratings were
accompanied by tomes that ran
into 3,000 words or more, Then,
when the book was thrown back
at the supervisors, the Commis-
sion reports that they, as well as
employees who would have been
benefitted had not a halt been
called, “yelled blue murder.” The
yelling did no good. The service
ratings are being scaled down by
the Commisson, so that they will

be on a par with those of the

nual basis, When they decided in-
stead to receive the benefits of the
Labor Law, and submitted their
case to Comptroller Lazarus
Joseph, they got a finding of $9.28
a day which, for 250 days totals
$2,320. They were $510 a year
worse off financially,

Mr. Patterson had argued with
them in favor of accepting the
annual basis, because of the as-
sured steady income, the vacation,
sick leave and other provisions,
and especially the possibility that
the prevailing rate in private in-
dustry might be found to be less
than 1/250 of their. $2,820 salary.

Other Groups Affected

Two other groups affected by
the current stress are the Auto
Enginemen and the Asphalt
Workers. Here, too, there is divis-
ion of opinion among the men,

In the Auto Enginemen’s case,
those favoring the prevailing rate
method also want the $250 salary
increase added and bonuses frozen,
but Mr. Patterson pointed out that
they could not eat their cake and
have it, too, but if they wanted to
be paid on the prevailing rate
|basis, as was their right, they
|could not share the extra bene-
fits, and particularly not have
| bonuses frozen into base pay, as
requested, a benefit that_no other
| city employees received. One group
of Auto Enginemen is signing
| waivers, to get the $250 perman-
ent increase in annual pay.

Mr. Patterson felt hurt because
charges were made by a represen-
| tative of one group of Auto En-
|gineman that he was persuing @

Board Is Liberal.
In Hardship Cases

A liberal policy is being followed
by the NYC Civil Service Com-

same time Welfare Commission,
Raymond- Hilliard, new on 4,

in his own department that
could drap employees who y,

The Character Yardstiok
The Commission notified 4
Welfare Department that clipijs
are entitled to be appointed,
long as there is nothing sho,
against their character, and th,
slowness of work was No reflectig
on character. Therefore some »
ployees who lost out as provisioy
als will go back as probationey
and under the law, as the Comm
sion exlained it to Mr. Hilliard
they are entitled to complete the;
probationary period, unless ¢
missed on proven charges. Th
can’t just be dropped, so long

budget provision for them exis

mission in disqualification and
residence cases. The standard
being applied, said President Jo-
seph A. McNamara, is one of fair-
ness and humanity, consistent
with the best interests of the city,

A Car Cleaner in the Board of
Transportation has just com-
pleted his probationary period
satisfactorily. He was approved
for appointment, because he had
done well in the examination, even
though he had served 13 years in
prison for murder in the second
degree. During the seven years
preceding his appointment, the
Commission's Division of Investi-
gation ascertained, the eligible
had led an unblemished life, was
the father of a family of young
children and had been industrious
and penitent.

Triple Yardstick

The Commission therefore ap-
plied its three-fold yardstick; (1)
nature of the offense; (2) time
elapsed since its commission and
the conduct of the candidate dur-
ing that period; (3) the nature of
the position,

Since a Car Cleaner job is not
one of trust and confidence or
one dealing with the protection
of life and property, and the of-
fense was old and expiated, sub-
sequent conduct good and the pe-
riod since the crime substantial,
the Commission approved the
candidate unhesitatingly. It now
feels an added justification.

In the Welfare Department
some internal effort had been
made to prevent the appointment
from the forthcoming Social In-
vestigator eligible list of provi-
sionals who had worked in that
title but who had been dropped
for slowness of work or work
quantity below average. At the
