Harriman and Rockefeller

Woo Civil Service Vote

At CSEA Annual Meeting |

ALBANY, Oct, 20—Incumbent Govern Averell
Harriman and Nelson A. Rockefeller, his gubernatorial op+
ponent in the forthcoming election, wooed th
vote here last week in two addresses to several hundred
delegates attending the 48th annual meeting of the Civil
Service Employees Association. The Association represents
more than 80,000 state, county and municipal workers.

Both candidates pledged themselves to pushing State
employee wage levels to a closer par with those in private
industry but neither specified how far he would move in
that direction at this time, The Association is seeking &
12% per cent, $500 minimum across-the board raise for
all State employees,

Mr. Rockefeller addressed the delegates on October 13 and In a
12-minute speech said that “If Tam elected, early in November I
will designate a group to sit down with representatives of your or-

civil service

ganization to discuss what should and can be done at the 1959)

legislative session.”

Citing his wage proposals of last wear, which were turned down
by the GOP-dominated Legislature, Mr. Harriman declared “I have
kept every pledge I ever made to the civil s t. I have said 1
will continue my fight for equitable wages and I will do it"

The Governor, with the advantage of four years in office behind
him, on October 14 spoke for some 35 minutes, listing the salary,
pension and fringe benefit gains awarded state workers during his
tenure of office

Mr. Rockefeller, who has held some distinguished posts with the
Federal Government as well as undergone experience in county
and state government, assured his listenora he was well aware
their worth and pledged himself to gaining them the moral and fin-
ancial position “you deserve.”

The complete text of both messages, as delivered to the
ciation delegates, follows.

Antidote to Inertia

T is so hard to get government to move properly, if at

all, when living costs rise that the point system is gain-
ing favor, The National Association of Letter Carriers
started the ball rolling federally, Now the National Postal
Transport Association (AFL-CIO) has come out for the
plan, which would have pay rise or fall $50 a year for
every one-point rise or down in the Bureau of Labor Stat-
istics cost-of-living index.

The porposal, in one form or another, has been made
throughout the years in federal, state, and local jurisdic-
tions without any sign of government willingness to ac-
cede. Maybe government feels that it should be abdicating
some of its authority over pay if it submitted to any such
formula, But the employees realize the need of some
method of making government more responsive on the
pay score, Government inertia have has had a disastrious
effect on employee pay.

‘TIDE-OVER NEST EGG

Editor, The Leader:

The letter from James J, Mal-

eer, Office of the Manhattan Bo-
rough President, suggesting «
tide-over nest egg for pensioners,
offers an excellent idea. I am near
retirement age, but have no sav-

ceipt of my last pay check and my

Mr. Maloney's idea of building

NEW YORK CITY EMPLOYEE
EQUITY IN TAXES
AND POLICE GRIEVANCES
Editor, The Leader:

The Citizens Budget Commis-
sion has issued a report on the
New York City tax problem and
Suggested guide posts so highly
commendable that the City offi-
clals certainly will give the re-
port close attention,

One passnge in the report
struck me as being particularly
applicable, as to principle, regard-
ing the denial to policemen of the
same grievance procedures that
all other City employees, includ-
ing firemen, enjoy. In discussing
tax criteria, the report says, under
the heading "Equity": "Generally,
any tax which does not single out
any one group of taxpayers, and
which bears a close relationship
to the taxpayer's ability to pay,
meets the standard test of equi-
ty.”

In the police situation, while
ability to pay is irrelevant, the
anti-discrimination argument is
not, Any law or rule that singles
out one group for different treat-
ment than any other group {ts dis-
criminatory, whether the subject
is taxes or grievances, or any-
thing else,

Executive Editor

Lower Minimum Age For Fireman
Should Be Enacated

WHAT MAY SEEM ensy to solve in civil service may prove
otherwise, principally because of possible ramifications, Take the
simple question: “Shal] the minimum age for fireman be reduced
to 19 from 20?" Why not? At 19 a man can be as good @ fireman as
at 20. Yet the Council committee that was considering the sge-
reduction bill has taken another week to give It more study, though
it ts informally aware that Mayor Robert P. Wagner {s in favor of
the measure,

Fire Commissioner Edward F. Cavanagh Jr. started the move
to reduce the minimum age and won the Mayor over. The City Civil
Service Commission is ready to go slong with the age reduction, and
re-open the fireman examination because of the new minimum age,
if the amendment to the Administrative Code Is enacted. It would
scarcely do otherwise.

‘The reason why the Council committee wants to study the sub-
ject some more probably arises from the traditional parity of the
fireman (P.D,) and the patrolman (P.D.) evaminations, The pay is
the same, The type of examination is now the same. The height mini-
ma differ a little, but the age minimum is the same, Question; If
the fireman minimum age is reduced, may there not be pressure on
the Council to reduce the minimum age for police, and what would
Police Commissioner Stephen P, Kennedy say to that? He might
not think well of the idea of 18-year-old policemen.

Commissioner Kavanagh wants an eligible list of at least 5,000,
not likely to be obtained from the 11,000 men who applied in the
|freman examination in July. His reason is that retirements have
increased sharply, and will continue to be so numerous that ready
provision for filling vacancies must exist at all times, But the Police
Department also has had recruitment diMfoulty, and elicible lists
have been comparatively skimpy. Also, police retirements are on
the upsurge.

Since the Fire Commissioner wants the minimum age reduced
for firemen there Is no sound reason why the bill should not be
enacted, If the Police Commissioner, anticipating similar age and
retirement arguments being advanced in regard to minimum police
age, and wants age 20 to stand for the police jobs, he would un-
doubtedly have his way, too. Then there'd be two satisfied Commis-
|sioners, where now there is only one, and that would add to the

favor tying salaries io cost of living there is nothing like BRODERICK J. EDWARDS | serenity of the Wagner Administration,

unanimous approval. The holdouts are the employees who
wouldn't want anything written into law or code that
would make salary reduction possible. They would like,
perhaps, that pay should rise in step with increase in liv-
ing costs, but never, never go down, even when living costs
become lower. But that attitude smacks of all take and
no give. A policy of such one-sidedness would not be, and
should not be, acceptable to government.

Since the subject is now to the fore again, and hardly
anything is more effective in producing success than a
groundswell, organizations of state and local government
employees should bring up the living-cost plan of pay ad-
justment before them for discussion by their members
and boards of directors. One of side question would be
whether there should be a floor below which salary re-
auctions could not go; for instance present salaries could
be that floor; another would be limiting the application
of reduction only to salaries above a certain level, say,
$4,700; another that no salaries be cut so that they fall
below $5,600. The letter carriers have ideas along those
lines; the transport group would want the $50 plan to go
into effect at once, present pay to constitute the floor, and
the controversial affects left to solution after an experience
record is obtained of operation of the basic plan,

The idea of correlative pay to living costs is sound
and employees would do well to favor it. Adoption of such
a plan would make impossible the denial of increases de-
served by employees for economic reasons beyond their
control, as experienced recently in the New York State
government, when the Legislature refused to vote a pay
increase the Governor requested for State employees, and
as also experienced by New York City when an austerity
budget was given as the excuse for refusing an equally
deserved increase.

The point system can be nothing better than a pretty
theory unless salaries are adequate, even though salary
changes based on fluctuations in living costs have nothing
to do with merit and fitness, But they have everything to

do with social justice, equity, and a decent regard for
the welfare of the employees.

Law Cases Just Started Or Decided

JUDICIAL DECISIONS; |
Special and Trial Term

Healion v, Board of Higher)
Education, In 1940 the position
of laboratory assistant was re-
classified and made competitive.
‘The nine plaintiffs herein claimed
that they were appointed to other
positions, but that they eventu- |
ally, by direction of thelr super-
iors, were assigned to perform the
duties of laboratory assistants,
for which they were found qual-
ified. They sought to recover the
difference between the salaries
paid for thelr original tithes and
that paid to laboratory assistants.
After hearing testimony covering
the activities and the duties per-
formed by each individual, the
court found tiat two of the plain-
tiffs were entitled to rellef be-
cause they had performed the
work before 1940, but that the
others had not done the work of
Inboratory assistant until after
the competitive classification was
established and they therefore
are not entitled to recover,

Speeclal Term

Hamilton v¥ Kross. Petitioner
was appointed as correction om~
cer subject to investigation, At
the end of his probationary period
he was dismissed after a report
of investigation made by the
Police Department. The court
held that there was no abuse of

reasonable, The petition was dis-
missed,

Fallon v Board of Higher Bdu-
cation. After serving for three
years as an instructor on the
staff of Queens College, petitioner
wan refused re-appointment for
the fourth year which would have
given him tenure in the position.
The reason given was low regis-
tration and limited budget. The
court pointea out that the au-
thoritles did not comply with the
Board's by-laws as to giving no-
tlee of their action to petitioner,
but held that such omission 1s
Not equivalent to appointment,
and since the court is powerless
to compel his appointment for a
fourth year, the petition was dis-
missed.

Singer, et al. ¥. Schechter, Pe-

titloners, candidates in examina-
tion for promotion to captain

out that it would be ilegal for

TWU Man’s HIP Policy

A Godsend to His Wife

NEW YORK — Could you afford a “stapes operation?”

In fact, you are probably wondering what is a “stapes
operation,” It is a highly delicate surgical procedure developed
in recent years to relieve deafness resulting from certain kinds

of ear defects.

In the entire country there
aro only a handful of special.
fits trained to perform this
type of rare and difficult suc
gery. Obviously their servicer
can command high fees.

Nevertheless the wife of a

conductor will
0 & “stapes op-
out any worry
The surgery will be
performed by one of the few
doctors specially qualified to
do it.
How is this possible? The
swer is HIP — the Health
ance Plan of Greater
York. The conductor's
will receive this unique
service without charge as one
of her HIP benefits.

Hee husband became an
employee of the Independent
System in March of this year.
He signed up for HIP-Blue
Cross for himself, his wife and
three children, As a Bronx res-
ident, he sclected one of the
‘onx medical groups af-
with HIP, The family's
coverage started on June 1
and the wife visited hee HIP
family doctors on June 10 for
a check-up. She told him her
hearing had been bad for tea
yours but that it had become
worse in the last two years.

The family doctor referred
her to the medical oy bo car

specialist, He gave her special
ear tests and Gaga hac

condition as one involving
both ears, On the basis of his
examination, he concluded
that a “stapes operation”
might relieve her condition,
‘The HIP medical group ar
ranged for the wile to visit
one of the surgeons trained to
perform this intricate opera-
tion, The surgeon agreed that
her ear condition was of the
kind that tho “stapes opera.
tion” is designed to correct,
Accordingly a ments have
been mado for her to undergo
the operation lator this month,

Tho full cost will be paid
out of a special ser fund
set up by medical

to permit retain foe
HIP patients special qualified
surgeons and consultant-spe-
clalists to perform surgical and
other procedures requiring

rare skills,
techniques,

Some 6,000 HIP subscribers
per year are now receiving
medical services of this excep-
tional nature. If they were to
obtain this care outside HIP
they would have to pay doo-
tors fees ranging from $500
to $2,500,

This is one of the advan-
tages of medical group prac
tice as exemplified by HIP ia
the New York area, By prac
ticing as teams, HIP family
doctors and specialists togeth.
ee can provide fully prepaid
services of high quality.

County and here in New York
State government these past two
years as chairman of the Consti-

tutional Revision group.
My experience has given me

first-hand acquaintance with the
great ability and energy of our
civil servants and their substan-
tial contributions to the well-
being of our society, One of our

real challenges in government
the maintenance of a sirony

competent nnd responsible civil
service, We need a service respon-
sive while at the same time in-
dopendent, versatile and profes-

r ttl leadership supplies the
policy and administrative direc-
service
must translate these into detailed

tion, A dedicated civil

programs and make them work.

a| That is why, a¢ governmental
responsibilities increase and so- |
clety becomes ever more complex,
much of the future of our dynu-
mic democracy 1s in the hands of

our public servants,
is Cites Problems
Bs

the whole problem.

We can all agree that govern-
ment needs to attract and to
hold able people. But this is not

We have very able people in our

clvi service. Experience ms that
what ia needed Is to both permit
and encourage our civil servants
to realize their full potentialities,
By so doing we will immeasurably
Increase the quaity of our govern-
ment services. And one of the
ways in which such encourage-
ment may be given is through

HARRIMAN: ‘ALL PLEDGES FULFILLED’

(Continued from Page 1)
40-hour week was nowhere on the
horizon for 34,000 employees.

Nobody but veterans and ex-
empt volunteer firemen had the
right to a hearing in disciplinary
actions, and if an employee was
wrongfully dismissed it was his
tough luck untess he went to the
courts to fight it out.

The grievance machinery — if
you could call it that — was slow
and cumbersome and practically
worthless, (Employees only had
“complaints” then — they were
never called grievances.)

If there was an employee re-
lations policy nobody knew what
it was, One thing was sure, though.
Representatives of employee or-
ganizations weren't invited to take
part in the planning of Import-
ant new programs.

Employees had to pay fees to
take promotion exams, and if they
got promoted they weren't even
assured of a raise. They didn’t
get cash payment for overtime
and vacation upon separation
from service. There weren't any
Payroll deductions for dues in your |
organization, or in any other,
Pay checks came twice a month}
Instead of every two weeks and
they were, on the average, small-
er than they are now.

Another View

That's one view of the picture.
Thore’s another, so let's look at
that too,

Where was the prestige of the
olvil service?

Public confidence in the merit
system had declined, and the con-
fidence the employees in their
employer, the State of New York,
had correspondingly slumped, |

Many valued employees were)
becoming discouraged and looking
to other fields for employment

Such a situation was not a
happy one for a new Governor,
but i¢ was a challenge and
there's nothing I lke better than |
® challenge. |

Well, so much for my prologue.

You know how the outlook has)
changed

Tt has
rewarding

been one of the mont
of my experiences as
Governor to see a new era tak-|
ing shape, Now people are be-
ginning to understand the good)
Job you are doing, Thus, they
are xccording government employ-
«the respect that is thelr due.
This is no accident, my friends.

jed with

jare

In the first place, together we
have done a magnificent Job.
That's the first requirement of «
good reputation, We have put
important new programs into ef-
fect, strengthened and revitalized
old ones, and we have met emer-
gencles with an energy and emf.
clency that are little short of
remarkable, Our record is good.
I take pride In it, and you should
be proud of it too.

So I have felt that there was
good reason for calling public al
tention to the character and a-
chievements of New York State's
employees, and whenever I have
trad the opportunity to talk about
it I have done 89, You have heard
me do it before, and I will con-
tinua to do it.

‘Two years ago we began some-
thing new In State government.
We opened the doors to the peo-
ple and invited them to come
and see us at work. Our first Open
House was successful. Our second
one was even more successful, We
are going to keep on doing this
because it Is one of the most ef-
fective ways of getting acquaint~
the people. Now they
know us a Wttle better and un-
derstand more about what we do,
why we do it, and how it is im-
portant to them.

Everywhere I go — and there
few spots in this State I

| have not covered — I see evidence

of a more friendly and under-
standing spirit in our commun-
ities, and that ix why I say to
you today that the government
employee is coming Into his own.
I was amused to note that in
his acceptance speech last August
my Republican opponent made so
bold as to say that I have “un-
fermined clyil service morale.”
Well, he said a number of peculiar
things which he’s found have
boomeranged on him,
So much for prestige and morale
those two all-important in-
tangibles, They're up, and no-
body can deny it,

Says Pledges Fulfilled

Now, let's talk about platforms
and campaign promises

Perhaps you remember the
Democratic platform of 1954. I
will recall tts pledges to you, and
T will tell you what we did about
them, We not only kept thom
all, but we went « lot farther

We saw that there were other
needs, and as we went along we
took care of them as fast as we
could,

Now what were these promises? ; worked 44 or 4% hours, and they

is the hard time Al Falk gives

they ask for a new exempt or

The Future

Now what's the prospect for the
hext four years?

You can see for yourselves that
we take our pledges and promises
seriously, We keep them, We can
be trusted to go on keeping them

If we gay we'll continue to fight
for equitable wage levels for all
employees we'll do it. We did say
it and we wit do it. This ia a
1958 platform pledge.

Here are other things wo're
committed to work for:

Making permanent the increase

Improvement of supplemental

Improvement of local civil ser-

for local governments,

These are specific measures we
now believe are needed, This docs
not, however, mean that we'll stop

there — any more than we limited

I want the civil service in New
