Route To Political
Carlino Seeking

O one in political circles
doubts that Joseph EB.
Carlino, former Speaker of the
Assembly, will attempt a
comeback at the ballot box next
Fall but reports now have it that
rather than seeking a seat in the
Assembly he will try for a spot on
the State GOP ticket.
If Carlino does intend to recoup
his political fortunes via another

route than the Legislature he

Explanation Given On

Salary Effects Of

‘Upward Reallocations

By WILLIAM L. BLOM
CSEA Director of Research

It has been brought to our attention that many State
employees do not understand how the upward reallocation
(the changing from a lower salary grade to a higher salary
grade) of a State position title aflects the salaries of incum-
bents holding the position title. ; = one

earlier in the week after It was
learned the half-pay retirement
measure had moved out of com-
mittee and onto the floor of ‘he
Senate, but remained in the Pen-
sions Committee of the Assembly.

The meeting with Travia was
aimed at getting his support of
the bill.

No further action could be taxen
last week, however, as both houses
adjourned for the week because
of hearings on the Democrat ma-

jority's all-important reapportion- |

personally “carry the word” to the

ALBANY, May 10—More than 50 Correction Officers, representing every correction

ment between Democrats and Re-
publicans, to Francis Bergen, a
Democrat. The same type of “un-
derstanding” is expected to draw
bipartisan support this year for a
Republican. The post pays $36,500
@ year, plus a $6,000 expense ac-
count.

Carlino'’s friends believe there
are many reasons why he may
figure in this race. Despite his de-
feat in the Johnson landslide last
year, Carlino did do well in the
Democratic areas of his district.
Furthermore, he is an Italian and
that large voting bloc is not yet
represented on the Court of Ap-
peals. On top of all this, he ts
known throughout the State be-
cause of his service as Assembly
Speaker.

As much as Carlino might like
this, however, our Bar Association
friends say such a thing is unlike-
ly to happen. In addition, reports
still persist that Lieut. Governor
Malcolm Wilson wants the Court
of Appeals vacancy. If this is still
true, it would open up the lieu-
tenant governorship dor Carlino.

Other Ways

But if Carlino has his eyes on
other places on the State ticket for
1966, the task might not be so
easy, Of the remaining posts on
the ballot—only the nomination
for Comptroller is an open race
at this time.

Atttorney General Louis Lefko-
witz enjoys the job he is doing, is
® popular figure among voters of
both parties—and has given no
indication that he is interested In
any other position.

This leaves the Comptroller's
Post and the formidable task of

Don't Repeat This!

taking on Arthur Levitt who, as
one pro said, could probably be
elected Comptroller for the rest
of his life if he wanted it, An-
other problem in competing with
Levitt is that he has @ popular
following among upstate Republi-
cans as well as Democrats, Pur-
thermore, the amiable State Tax
Commissioner from Syracuse, Jo-
seph Murphy, has shown a strong
interest in seeking that spot on
the 1966 GOP ticket,

Carlino's friends, feel however,
that he is strong enough political-
ly to give Levitt a good fight in
the race and is a talented enough
political workhorse that he might
just pull off a victory.

One Way Or Another

However, politics being the most
unpredictable of human activities,
the picture on any of these situa-
tions could change before next
year's elections and Carlino is a
| gifted politician with the finesse
to take the utmost advantage of
any such changes. In lieu of this,
it is still highly possible that, after
estimating the political climate,
Carlino will seek to go back to the
Assembly after all.

Should it develop that there is
no room on the State ticket for
Carlino and he does not choose to
try and return to the Legislature
there is one other major job that
could keep him in the spotlight and
that is the position of National
Republican Committeeman. The
job is now held by George Hinman
but he 1s reported to be tiring of
the duties the post entails.

One thing that you can be cer-
tain of is that Carlino loves the}
political life and in some form or |
another, intends to get back into it)
just as soon as he can,

The tenure bill, also sponsored
by Lentol, and Assemblyman Orin
8. Wilcox (R-Jefferson), is one of
the major legislative objectives of
the Employees Association and
would affect some 18,600 employ-
@es in the non-competitive class
of State service,

‘The bill last year passed both
houses of the Legislature, only to}
be vetoed by Gov. Rockefeller on
the grounds that there were posi-
tions in the non-competitive class
which would be covered that

This objection has been over-
Come this year by a separate
measure which would direct the
State Civil Service Commission to

Policy-making position within the
bon-competitive class, The result-|

the provisions of the tenure bill,

The Employees Association, at
Leader press time, was expressing
Cautious optimism over the fate
of the bill in the Assembly. CSEA
Officials were particularly pleased
over the non-partisan support
promised by legislators from both
sides.

In addition, both Democrat and
Republican Assemblymen report-

favor of the bill, should a debate

of our Retirement System and
new terminology. The latter must
be understood before members can
make important decisions in rela-
tion to these benefits.

The first of these amendments
suspends compulsory member con-
tributions and hence makes the
system “non-contributory” for
state employees. A second amend-
ment reopens the new age 55 re-
tirement plan for all members.
Thus greater benfeits are avail-
able to state employee members
at no additional cost for at least
one year.

The following questions and
answers fllustrate the experience
we have had to date in explaining
the foregoing benefits to state em-
Ployees. These may be helpful to
your understanding of what is ad-
mittedly a complex law.

Q. What is meant by a “non-
contributory” retirement system?

A. The employer, in this in-
stance the State of New York,
makes the necessary payments in-
to the System, including amounts
previously required to be deducted
from members’ salaries. The state
employee is no longer required to
make contributoins to the System.
The employer, in this instance the
State of New York, makes the
necessary payments to the System,

Q. Does this mean that in the
future a member will not be re-
quired or permitted to contribute?

A. No, The present law will be
in effect for approximately one
year. Also, you may contribute if
you wish,

Q. How may a member continue
his contributions?

A. By completing a “waiver”
form supplied to all payroll offi-
cers, which authorizes him to re-

fects State employees.

for one year,

Q. Will the retirement system
loan a member the money which
the state contributes?

A. No, A member may only bor-
row his “accumulated contribu-
tions,” within limitations.

Q. What benefit does a member
get from this additional state con-
tribution?

A. The immediate benefit is a
pay check increased by any pre-
vious deduction — the additional

benefit {s the accumulation of

what your required contribution
would otherwise have been, but
the benefit will in no event be less
than 8 percent of salary, A re-
serve will be established for this
benefit which will be accumulated
at interest,

Q. If my regular rate of contri-
bution was 6 per cent, how much
is credited to my reserve?

A. If a member’s rate of con-
tribution was less than 8 per cent,
he nevertheless gets a credit for
8 per cent, If his regular rate was
more than 8 per cent, the credit
is equal to the regular rate,

Q In the event a member elects
to continue to contribute, does he

receive the same credit to a re-
serve?

A, Yes,

Q. When does the member ac-
tually receive any benefits from
this reserve?

A. The additional pension at
retirement is the notable benefit
but in addition this reserve be-
comes part of any death benefit
and disability benefit,

fer from the age 60 plan to the
age 55 plan, what will his new
cost be?

Examples

When a position is reallocated
on April Ist of any fiscal year,
salary adjustments are made in
the following two ways:

(1) If the annual salary of the
incumbent immediately prior to
the upward reallocation of his po-
sition, is less than the minimum
annual salary of the grade to
which his position is reallocated,
he shall receive on the effective
date of his reallocation (in this
case April ist) the annual incre-
ment of the higher grade, provid-
ing he is entitled to an increment,
or the minimum annual salary of
the higher grade, whichever gives
him a higher salary,

For example, let's consider the
case of the Practical Nurses who
were reallocated on April 1, 1965
from Grade 6 to Grade 7, In the
case of a Practical Nurse who was
hired in September of 1964 and
was eligible for her finst increment
on April 1, 1965, she should have
received, upon reallocation from
Grade 6 to Grade 7 on April 1,
1965, an annual salary of $4,135
(the minimum of Grade 7), since
this results in a higher annual
salary than adding the $200 inere-
ment of Grade 7 to her annual

basic 40-hour work week for all

ww %9n-leaching school employees in|

salary before reallocation, which
was $3,915,

(2) If the annual salary of the
incumbent immediately prior to
the effective date of his realloca-
tion is equal to or above the mini-
mum of the new salary grade, to
which his position has been re-
allocated, and if he is entitled to
fn increment, he shall receive on
the reallocation date (in this case
April Ist) the annual increment
of the new salary grade

Before and After

In other words, an employee
whose annual salary before re-
allocation was between the mini-
mum and maximum of the old
grade, receives th difference be-
tween the increment of the old
grade, receives the difference be-
his position is reallocated,

Now, let us consider the case
of a Practical Nurse, who is eligi-
ble for her second increment in
Grade 6 on April 1, 1965, Prior to
April 1, 1965, this person was re-
ceiving an annual salary of $4,106
(the second year salary of Grade
6) and was eligible for her second
increment of $191, on April 1,
1965, which would have given her
an annual salary of $4,297 (the
third year salary of Grade 6).
However, because her position was
reallocated from Grade 6 to Grade
7 on April 1, and she was eligible
for an inerement, she received the
inerement of Grade 1, or $200,
which was added to her annual

Blom On Reallocations

salary of $4,106, immediately prior
to April ist, to make her annual
salary of $4,306 after reallocation
Thus, she received an increase on
an annual basis of $9, which is
directly attributable to the reallo-
cation of her position,

Increment

If an employee is at the maxi-
mum or above the maximum of
his salary grade immediately prior
to the reallocation of his position
to a higher salary grade, he would
receive the increment of the high-
er salary grade upon reallocation.

For example, in the case of a
Licensed Practical Nurse who had
been at the maximum salary
($4,870) of Grade 6 for three
years, on April 1, 1965, the effec-
tive date of the reallocation from
Grade 6 to Grade 7, she would re-
ceive an increment of Grade 7, or
$200. The $200 increment of Grade
7 would be added to the maximum
salary of Grade 6, $4,870, thereby
making her new salary apon re-
allocation, $5,070.

Next week I shall atempt to
explain the salary effects of a re-
allocation which becomes effec-
tive on a date other than April
Ast. This will be appropriate for
the recent upward reallocation of
the Attendants, Staff Attendants,
Staff Nurse, Head Nurse, Head
Nurse (Psychiatric), Assistant
Childrens Supervisor and Chil
drens Supervisor,

Budget CutsA

The White House was picketed
last week by Post Office employees
from the Baltimore area protest-
ing working conditions and budget
cuts in the Post Office Depart-
ment. There was some question
about the propriety of the Federal
employees picketing but lt was
doubted that there are any re-
strictions against such actions in
the Governments code of fair
labor practice.

The pickets carried signs pro~
testing the Post Office policies
which permit substitute postal
workers to be worked up to 70
hours a week at straight time pay.
They demanded overtime pay for
these workers. The signs
called for an end to “excessive”

demanded a “salary scale that will

jmake it (the overtime)

The marchers urged the Senate
to restore the monies the House
had out from the Post Office bud-
get. It felt that the outs will “per-.
petuate the overtime,’ Other signs
called for Congress to allocate
funds to improve the postal ser-
vices and, finally, asked the Presi-
dent for support on these issues,

The march came just prior to
the initial meeting of the Senate
Appropriations Committee for the
purpose of clearing Post Office
funds, last week.

| Tighter Security Checks

Security checks on Federal em-
ployees are more thorough than
ever, according to recent reports,
Government workers who are in
sensitive positions and those with
access to classified data are hay-
ing their backgrounds more
closely scrutinized by the FBI.

Sources claim that the order
for this step up in personnel
checks has come directly from the
White House. New employees are
given the more thorough checks
as a matter of routine,

In the past new employees were
checked out against the FBI's
name file and no other inquiry
was made unless the agencies
specifically requested it. Usually
the agencies would make this
| quest only in case of an impend-
| ing promotion to a highly sen-
sitive position,

All Aides

Editor, The Leader;

I am writing you to request that
you intercede through your paper,
the Civil Service Leader, for an
up grading of all State employees.
The attendants received one grade
which indeed they did deserve. It
is yery sad that they couldn't get
the grade and increment together.
It's a shame they have to wait
for a year extra before they get
their maximum. I do believe that
the Civil Service Employees Assn.
in Albany should process the re-
allocation for all State employees.
I think it’s a pity that the small
groups in State institutions were
left out,

'Agree On Telephone
Operator Plight

Editor, The Leader:

We're writing to add our pro-
verbial “two cents” to the letter
written by John Harrison of the
Bronx State Hospital, decrying
the plight of the Dept. of Mental
Hygiene telephone operators. No
truer words were ever spoken, by
anyone, than by him. We are with
him 100 percent, but he only
told you half of the combined
“operator-clerk” story.

‘The average State telephone
operator also handles all deaths,
from calling the patient's family,
contacting the Clergy, and re-
cording everything ,to making out
the burial permit and handing
out clothing to the undertaker,
on nights and weekends, Add to
this, the fact that most of the
State telephone offices are also
“information” center and you
have another full-time service,
that should be a’ fulltime Job for
another employee. The operators
also handle all reports and most
of the calls about escaped pa-
tient’s, they prepare, type and
Post all directories, directives, and
memo's to and about the tele-
phone office and grounds per-
sonel, They call all buildings and
notify them of coming events,
special events and etc., etc., etc,

Yes, these devoted State em-
ployees are vastly underated and
grossly underpaid, but they still
| manage to face their daily work
with a measure of dignity and no
|small pride in their work. This
IT personally can attest to, as
I have six operators working for
and with me, and they are the
“Greatest.” When this State has
such fine employees, we agree—

Law & You

NTT ERNE AEN TITANIA! TR IR,

Oral Exams Graded Subjectively

NOBODY CAN DENY that an oral examination by te:
of examiners guided only by general instructions is graded
by largely subjective standards, When no practical necessity
yor the oral examination is proven, its impropriety under a
merit system of selection of governmental employees is in-
disputable, Yet, the attachment to this substitue for the
compeetitive promotional examination persists even in the
face of repeated judicial condemnation,

THE POINT WAS well made recently in a series of Court
opinions in John H, Donohue y. Arthur Cornelius, Jr., as Su-
perintendent of State Police, Respondent, Special Term can-
celled a promotion examination for Sergeant of the New
York State Police as insufficiently competitive because 80%
of the grade depended upon an oral examination (30%>) and
a subjective service record rating (50%). Instead of conduct-
ing a wholly competitive reexamination, the respondent’s
new examination merely cut down the non-competitive part
to 40% (20% oral examination and 20% oral examination
and 20% service record), Of course, this is still substantial
enough to bar a competent candidate, and Donohue moved
to annul the reexamination,

THE RESPONDENT contended that since a candidate did
not take the subjective portions of the examination unless
he had first passed the objective, written test, the examina-
tion met the Constitutional requirement of competitiveness,

ACCORDING TO THE announcement of the examina-
tion, the service record rating shall be prepared under uni-
form written instructions by a rating board consisting of
three Commissioned Officers for each command. The rating
covers each candidate’s performance for a two year period
of service,

THE ORAL EXAMINATION was to be conducted by mul-
tiple teams of two Commissioned Officers acting under uni-
form written instructions, If a candidate feels his personal

his request to be examined by another team would be
granted.

THIS TIME, Special Term refused to cancel the exam-
ination, holding that Donohue’s contention as to the possi-
bility of manipulation of the subjective portions of the ex-
amination to assure promotion for a favorite candidate or
failure for one in disfavor was without merit,

DONOHUE WAS NOT daunted. He appealed to the Appel-
late Division, Third Department, which returned the matter
to Special Term for further proceeding not inconsistent with
its memorandum opinion, The higher Court observed that
the dilution of the competitive elements by giving a weight
of 40 to subjective factors may not be acceptable under any
circumstances, and is certainly invalid in the absence of any
finding of practical necessity,

THE ONLY PROOF concerning the practical necessity
or @ subjective test for sargeant consisted of affidavits by
an Assistant Attorney General, the respondent, and another
individual and a State Police Publication entitled “A Guide
for the Rating Officer” which the petitioner submitted.

SPECIAL TERM OBSERVED that the record failed to
show that the duties of the State Police differ from those per=
formed by the police in the City of New York or any other
large city, Special Term accordingly held that the examina=
tion must be competitive as long as experience indicates that
it is practicable to get capable policemen by such examina=
tion,

AS FOR THE subjective service rating, Special Term

BROOKLYN NAVY YARD —-

Brooklyn Navy Yard Traditio.,
of “Can Do” Is Maintained In
Completion of Sandoval, Uvalde

The “Can Do” spirit of the Brooklyn Navy Yard remains undaunted amid phaseout
operations scheduled to close the yard by June 1966, The most recently completed jobs,

major overhauls on two cargo-troop transport ships, USS Sandoval and USS Uvalde, were}

finished not only right on sched-
wle but at lower than estimated
cost.

As Sandoval and Uvalde left
the Navy Yard last week to
rejoin the fleet, yard workers
were given a pat on the back in
the form of a special message re-
ceived by Shipyard commander,
Rear Adm,, J.H.McQuilkin, from
Vice Adm. JS. McCain, Jr.
Commander, Amphiibous Forces,
‘US. Atlantic Fleet.

Admiral McCain praised the
yard workers for “ the timely
completion of the regular over-
hauls of Uvalde and Sandoval at
cost below the established plan-
ning estimates.” He said “The|
fact that many ship alteration
Plans were lacking or were incom-
plete coupled with new require-
ments for security of communi-
cations systems made your tasks
more difficult but correspondingly
makes your accomplishments |
More outstanding. The comple-
tion of Sandoval on schedule is|
Additionally noteworthy as it is|
the only one of the last 28 over-|
hauls of our ships conducted over
& period of 18 months to complete
as scheduled; I extend heartiest |
Congratulations and well done to
all concerned, |

In relaying the congratulatory -
message to yard workers, Ad-| UVALDE — machinists Carl Faglio (left) and Frank Caponiti
miral MeQuilklin added, “None| take micrometer reading of reduction gear on the USS Uvalde, one

of these tasks could have been| of two overhaul job's done on troop-cargo transports,
accomplished without the dedi-

cation the skills and the ‘Can Do’
spirit of the shipyard workers,
That it has been done in these
days of turmoil and personal con-

losing makes them an all-the-
mose remarkable feat. A hearty
‘Well Done’ to all of you.”

announcement by the Defense De-
partment was not only a blow to
| our rights but to the rights of all
| Federal civil service employees.

‘We wonder what the big-wigs
in Washington were thinking of
|when they recommended the
closure? New, York City has a
higher rate of unemployment, per-
centagewise, then does the rest of
the country.

More than 240,000 people are
out of work and now the DOD
wants to add to that figure.

We have all heard of the anti-
poverty program that is being es-
poused by Washington, The plan
under this program is to spend
time and money, lots of it, in
training and retraining unskilled
people,

The “Can-Do” yard has been
doing this type of job for a long
Jong time, without aditional cost
to the taxpayers.

What ts even more unbelieve-
able and yet a fact, is that the
Immigration Law of the United
States has been changed to allow
@ total of 360,000 skilled mechan-
ies to come into this country while
an average of 40,000 American
workingmen are put off jobs every
week due to automation

Yet—an installation, the size of
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, with its
more than 9,000 employees is be-
| ing closed down because of the
whims of Washington politicians.

New York State and particular-
ly New York City has been
plaqued with run-away shops,
Criticism of this practice has come
from many sources including pri-
vate and governmental agencies,

Now it appears that the Federal
government is doing just what
private industry has done. It is
creating @ run-away shop by
ordering the closing of the largest
| Industrial complex in the State.

It fs an tronic thing about the
closing notice, and that is that
the only yards to be closed on the
Eastern seaboard were the two
that were building ships; New
York and Portsmouth,

The reason for this is an evi-
| dent one. High preference is being
given to private shipbuilders when
it comes to Defense contracts,
| The fact of this can be proven
by looking at the backlog of work

The Navy has set a goal of 500

public yards,

We were promised before the
last election by those running for
office that everything possible
would be done to keep the yard
open, Not three weeks passed be-

William Henneberry, 50, a tall, sad-faced man, looked
out across the suddenly silent expanse of the Brooklyn Navy
Yard and spoke in his slow soft voice. The yard, he said,
was part of a Henneberry family tradition, His father, now
retired, went to work there on
Navy ships 55 years ago; his
oldest son, a graduate of Pratt |
Institute, was employed in the
electrical design department. A
veteran shipwright himself, he had
worked at the yard for 2244 years

Bitterness crept into his voice.

“This yard,” he said, “has been
® political football ever since
the end of World War IL.”

There were others who weren't
phrasing it so moderately, Some
were expressing thelr feelings in
four-letter words, and others,
like Guilio Zeni, 37, a sheet metal
worker with 18 years of govern-
ment service behind him, were
Putting in blunt terms what most
of the yard’s 9,600 workers seem-
ed to feel.

F Discrimination
“It's discrimination, that's
what it is,” Zeni said. “They've

been favoring other yards for
years. Look, they took away the
LPD’s that we could have been
working on—and they've hardly
started them yet. It’s a pure case
of discrimination when priavte
yards, with admirals on their
boards, have backlogs, and this
yard, which has built some of the
largest ships in the Navy, can't
even get @ rowboat.”

Zent's quote points up the hid-
den issues behind Secretary Mc-
Namara’s Nov. 19 announcement
that the yard (officially the New
York Naval Shipyard in Brooklyn)
would be phased out after having
been in government hands since
1801. As navy yard workers see
it, the yard has become the vic-
tim of what former President
Eisenhower called “the military-
industrial complex,” In their
view, it has been strangled by
private war-industry interests,
exerting Pentagon pull. And Sec-
retary McNamara’s claim that the

|tug-of-war that has been going
on for the past four years between
private and navy shipyards,
Kitty Hawk Foul-Up

The prime exhibit in the cate-
logue of economy-disbelief was
the saga of the aircraft carrier
“Kitty Hawk.” Everywhere you
went in the yard, workers seemed
|to have facts and figures on the
“Kitty Hawk’ at their finger-
tips. The carrier was constructed
in the New York Shipbuilding
Yards in Camden, NJ. To make
it possible for the company to
build the carrier, the government
had to contribute an estimated
| $10 million to construct a graving

carrier, that was to be built. (“All
the time we had big docks stand-
ing idle here,” workers will tell
|you. “Is that economy?”) The
| “Kitty Hawk" had been supposed
to cost $19,900,000, but it wound

jup in

$200 million (some accounts say
$250 million), and even then, as
the Navy itself angrily said, it was
j80 badly constructed that it had
|to be “dragged out” and towed
across the Delaware to the Phila-
delphia Navy Yard for yard
workers to undo the damage, re-
build and finish,

Admittedly, the “Kitty Hawk”
was an extreme case, but at least
jit illustrates that the underlying
issue, the warfare of private ver-
Sus navy yards, is not as simple
and not as black-and-white as it
has often been painted. To ap-
preciate this issue and all that
remains at stake in Secretary Mc-
Namara's decision, one needs to
| visualize the enormous resources
jof the Brooklyn yard, known
jthroughout the service for its
| often incredible performances
junder stress as the “Can Do
Yard" of the Navy,
| The yard has often been called

erated in the Atlantic in a war

In its 22 shops, 98 skilled trades
are represented, It’s facilities for)
rolling heavy plate are unsur-|
|passed; for example, all of the
| massive steel used by private con-
tractors in the building of the
|Brookhaven Atomic Laboratory
|was fashioned here. And, above
all, the base has six enormous,
modern drydocks,

These docks can accommodate
at one time twice the number of

ships that can be handled in any |

other installation in the world.|
They represent about 40 percent
of the entire major drydocking
facilities along the East Coast.
Nine destroyers could be berthed
at one time in just one of the
largest docks, Three Forrestal-
type carriers, the largest afloat,
could be drydocked simultane-
ously ;most other docks on the
East Coast cannot accommodate
them at all, and no other yard
can handle more than one, such
|the resources that the Navy has|
decided to discard.

Past Construction

Tn the huge drydocks where
some of the mightiest ships in
|the Navy have been built—the
| battleship “Missouri” on which the
Japanese capitulated at the end
of World War II and such huge,
modern aircraft carriers ag the
|“Saratoga” the “Independence”
and the “Constellation”"—work-
men today are pushing to com-
|Pletion the last of the yard’s new

construction, three  14,000-ton
amphibious transports, called
LPDs.

These are ships of a radically
new design, perfected in the yard's
own design division. Over 600 feet |
long, they have empty, cavern-
like interiors, each capable of
holding a battalion of Marines,
fully equipped and loaded in
Janding craft. The LPD's built in
Brooklyn are currently in use land-
ing troops in Viet-Nam,

“The excuse was,” says James

Metal Trades Council, “that we
were busy with other vessels and
| weren't ready to lay the keels yet
So they told us, ‘We'll give the
job to someone who can get at
it right away.”

That “someone” turned out to
be the Ingalls Shipbuilding Com-
pany, operator of a medium size
yard at Pascagoula, Mississippi.
Ingalls is @ subsidiary of Litton
Industries, one of the major war |
contractors, and Litton’s board|
chairman is Charles B, “Tex”
Thornton, one-time organizer of
Ford’s famous Whiz Kids and the
executive who gave Secretary Mc-
Namara his first job at Ford.
Though the excuse for the trans-
fer was that Ingalls could hop
to the task right away, the Navy's
own 1964 shipbuilding schedule
shows that Ingalls wasn’t even to
lay the keels until more than 6
months later.

Idle Drydocks

“In the meantime,” reports a
spokesman for the Mechanics and
Foremen’s Association, “we've
launched the ships we were work-
ing on (yard workmen cut six
months off the estimated time of
the LaSalle, which was launched
in August, 1963), and we've had
docks standing {dle for months,
We could have laid the keels and
had the ships 30 percent completed
by the time they were started by
Ingalls.”

Some of the past achievements
of the “Can Do Yard” seem to
support such boasts For the
Brooklyn Navy Yard has a his-|
tory and @ tradition that dates|
back almost to the birth of the|
nation,

The first ship built in the yard
by the Navy was the 74-gun ship-
of-the-line “Ohio”, whose keel
was laid in 1817, The “Ohio” was

the largest vessel constructed in
the United States up to that
time,

During the Civil War, the yard}
laid the foundation for its en-
during reputation, Its workmen
Set fantastic records for the speed
with which they converted mer-
chantmen into warships. On one
occasion, the steamer “Monticello”
which had been on a regular run
from New York to Southern ports,
was ripped apart and converted
into a warship in 24 hours,

After the Civil War, there was
an economy-minded hue and ory
for the closing ef the yard, but
the Navy argued that, without
the yard, the wartime blockade

impossible—and the yard survived.

Tt continued to build famous
ships. One was the battleship
“Maine” (again the largest vessel
built in the United States up to
that time), and it was the
“Maine” blown up in Havana har-
bor, that triggered the Spanish-
American War and it its
rallying cry, ‘Remember the
“Maine!” Another of the yard’s
creation became a symbol in a
far more horrible war—the 31
400-ton battleship _ “Arizoni
Igunched in 1914 and sunk by the
Japanese in the sneak attack on
Pearl Harbor, where her top
hamper was left protruding above
water as a grim reminder of “the
day of infamy.”

The onset of World War II

jbrought work in the yard to Its

most feverish pitch. Some 70,000
men worked around the clock,
building new ships for the fleet,
repairing the  battle-scarred
wrecks that struggled in from the
sea, One feat of these years sticks
in memory. In August, 1944, the
destroyer “Menges”, her stern
blown off by a submarine attack,
limped into the yard, About the
same time the destroyer “Holder”
lost her bow to an aerial torpedo,
Workmen at the yard cut away
the debris, fitted the stern of
the “Holder” to the bow of the
“Menges”, and sent a new hy-
brid “Menges” back to join the
fleet.

A similar and even more dra
matic bit of ship surgery was
performed in 1952 after the 32,-
000-ton carrier “Wasp,” on man-
euvers in the Atlantic, sliced
through the destroyer “Hobson”.
The collision sank the “Hobson”
with the loss of 176 men and
left the “Wasp” with a gaping,
10-foot gash in her bow at the
waterline. The “Wasp’ backed
1,000 miles across the Atlantic

'T GAMBLE
NH... PB.

The sporting Instinct has {ts pleasant side. But you'll agree that gam-

bling {s foolhardy when the stakes are your family’s health and a big bite out
of your paycheck,

In comparing medical plans, why not do a little handicapping on your

own and see what kind of odds each plan offers you. You might ask a few
questions on past performance, such as:

Q.

A.

Would I be taking a chance on having to pay extra doctors’ charges in a
cash allowance program, even though it talks about “paid-in-full” benefits?

You certainly are taking that chance in a cash allowance plan. Programs
of that kind can’t protect you against unexpected doctor bills for many
services. A major New York City union found that two-thirds of its mem-
bers who had been hospitalized under a cash allowance plan had to pay the
doctor more than the plan allowed. The “extra” payment averaged $177! In
11 percent of the cases the extra payment was $300 or more! Another un-
fon found that two-thirds of its members had to pay doctors’ fees over and
above the plan’s allowances for care in and out of the hospital,

It was to overcome just such extra payments that H.I.P, was founded by
Mayor La Guardia and selected as the best plan for City employees by
later administrations, Only H.I.P., with its newer way of paying in advance
for medical care provided through groups of highly qualified family doe-
tors and specialists, can really protect you against extra charges,

Am I willing to take a chance on maternity care?

Maternity is not a “paid-in-full” benefit in either of the two cash allowance
programs offered to some city employees. In one plan, the allowance for a
normal delivery is $75 and in the other, it is $125! Compare these allowances
against today’s going rate of $250-$300 for a delivery by obstetricians in the
New York area, H.LP. obstetricians delivered 6,700 babies last year and there
was never any question of cost for the doctors’ services.

H.LP.’s high standards require that babies be delivered only by obstetrical
specialists—not by general practitioners, This reduces another very im-
portant area of chance, Perhaps you remember seeing this headline in
the New York Times, “Maternity Study Favors H.I.P. Care”, Or this one
in the Herald-Tribune, “Birth Record Found Better Under H.LP.”

The Difference?” — A Comparison of Benefits,
