Harriman Acts
To Reassure
Aides on Pay
ALBANY, Jan, 24 — Governor
Harriman acted last week to re-
assure State employees on the is=
sue of pay, He reiterated a com-
mitment he had made during the
campaign on inequities in salary,
Said the Governor:
“The equalization of pay scales
for work of equal responsibility
remains a key part of this admin-
istration’s program for civil serv-
ice. I pointed out during the cam~-
paign that large inequities existed
in the salary plan initiated last
year. Provision will be made in the
budget for taking care of such in-
equities through the reclassifica-
tion procedure.”
Political Picture
The political picture in Albany
will have a bearing on what finally
comes out of the classification
hearings. If the Legislature sould
successfully attack the Budget, and
refuse to provide new sources of
revenue, the “probables” as seen
in Albany are that employee sal-
aries would be adversely affected.
But the Governor and his closest
aldes say they ure trying, by all
possible means, to create a fale

« lasting stigma, the CTO charges. The union protests the possibility
of citinens, and as a labor organization, its own members particu-
larly, being subject to procedtres “not consonant with the guarantees
of the Constitution.” One of thoye guarantees is due process of law.
Bar Association Acts
The District of Columbia Bar Association, with the approval of
the American Bar Association, has appointed a special committee
to supply counsel, on request, to accused Federal employees, who either
are denied the right to counsel of their own choosing, or who can not
afford to retain counsel. It is nothing new that free legal aid should
be supplied to the needy, but it Is significant that even If the employee
can afford to hire counsel, if he wants to turn to the committee for
aid because he has been denied the right to be represented by counsel,
the committee will help him, and at no cost. Only « sense of outrage
could have induced so broad a policy.
Tt is clear {hat not any one case, but the increasing number of
alarming cases, prompts employee, Bar, civic, women's and veterans
groups, and other organiaations, to demand fairer security and loyalty
programs.
Mr. Ladejinaky's case happens to be one of those now occupying
the large headlines, yet it is typical, He was dropped as a possible
security risk from his $11,800 job with the Department of Agriculture,
by which he was employed in the Embassy at Tokyo as agricul-
tural expert, That post was formerly under the Department of State,
which had investigated him, and dismissed charges that he was a
Communist or a member of or allied with Communist front organiza~-
tions. The switch put Mr. Ladejinsky back in the department in which
ho had started 18 years before, at $2,000, and in which he had risen
t© Chief of the Pur Eastern Division,
Ordered by White House
Mr, Ladejinsky returned to the U.S, when Japan's Premier
Yoshida (since replaced) visited President Eisenhower last November.
But Mr. Ladejinsky never went back, because meanwhile he was
dropped by Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, Harold E.
Stassen, Foreign Operations Administrator, next hired Mr. Ladejinsky
to be an agricultural economist in Vietnam, to do the same kind of
work he had been doing in Tokyo. This was a slap at Secretary Benson
berause not only did the quality of Mr. LAdejinsky's work receive
official approval, but obviously in some circles of government he was
not considered a security risk at all, Including the State Department,
for which he had worked, and, most recently, the White
House. Mr.-Stassen did not inject himself into the controversy as a
‘busybody; he is not that kind of a man; he acted on an order from
the White House, Yet at first President Eisenhower himself, to whom
Mr. Benson bad hurried with a long explanation of why he had let
out Mr, Ladejinsky, said that the facts presented to him by the
Secretary were frightening. An ex parte argument tends to be con-
vincing. Mr. Benson had full authority to act as he did; there would
be no departure from usual routine, But a decided departure took
Place, and swiftly. Why?
As the various organizations began to clamor for justice to em-
ployees, and cited the Ladejinsky case as a new and startling proof
of the necessity, the President asked an aide to gather all the facts
he could tn the case. In this indirect way, though not through a per-
gona! opportunity, Mr, Ladejinsky was able at last to get his case
before the President. When the President found out all the information
@btainable on both sides, he decided that Mr. Ladejinsky was entitled
to a better deal, Of course it would be advantageous to the admin-
fatration to get the Ladejinsky story off the front pages, and finally
@ut of the newspapers entirely
‘The President's move put Secretary Benson om a hotter spat
even than the one Mr, Ladejinsky ocoupied,
The President: took this course becuuse he learned that Mr,
Ladejinsky, on his return from a trip to Russia, had written a
published article deriding the Soviet aystem of collective farming as
® policy of exploiting the people under guise of Ideology, and saying
that even the land systems of Asia, and the former land grant policy
fm the US,, of “a mule and eight acres,” were far superior, Other
articles by Mr, Ladejinsky found fault with the Soviet economic and
social systems, He did not discuss politics, He was writing a an
fend reformer,
At ® press conference later, the President said that a difference of
@Pinlon existed between two department heads concerning Mr, Ladejin-
wky; that Secretary Benson had acted within his authority, and that

Dr. Berman stated his convic-

THE PUBLIC
EMPLOYEE
By JOHN F, POWERS
President
Civil Service Employees Anociation
mee
ee rey
IT IS MORE than a speechmaker's phrase that public employees
in New York State have a flerce pride in their work, But it is a sad
thing that the tasks performed by
our employees are so little known
to the residents of the State, They take for granted a hundred and
one services without which their
communities could not function;
without which their comfort, health, security and very lives would
be uncertain.
Quietly, the public employee goes about his tasks, performing the
duties that make civilized life possible; giving succor to the sick, the
maimed and the disturbed; protecting against fire; protecting against
criminals; maintaining streets and parks; performing a» variety of
social services for the underprivileged, the Jobless, and the aged;
holding in line the great public utilities; assuring that the food we
eat is free of contamination; guarding our forest preserves; warning
Against and fending off great natural disasters; patrolling the park-
ways and manning the barge canajs; collecting and distributing huge
sums in taxes; publicizing the Sta!
te's Industries and facilities. More
tasks are performed by public workers than by those im the greatess
private industry.
But Employees Are Litt! eKnown
But the employees who perform these many jobs are little publi-
cized. Only recently I had occasion to visit the Roswell Park Cancer
Institute in Buffalo, Research being done here, by State employees,
will one day prolong the lives of people we know, It is understatement
to say that I was impressed. I cou
id only wish that the entire State
knew about this work. I visited the Batavia School for the Blind, where
magnificent work ts being done in rehabilitation and care of those who
lack the precious gift of sight. Yet, to my consternation, I was told
that not 20 per cent of the residents in the area have ever visited the
school
Calihre Is High
‘The calibre of public employees in New York State ts high, The
pride in their work is wonderful to behold. That pride is sometimes
evidenced in contrast to the employees of certain other states. We do
not, for example, have here the rashes of prison breaks that other
states experience. Yes, there are difficulties, as in all human activities.
But for the enormous quantity of work done, the diMculties are
infinitesimal.
The pride of our public employees should be instilled in others,
particularly in the public itself, The various agencies of government
in New York State have well-developed publicity mechanisms, Here
are areas knowledge of which deserves the widest dissemination among
the people.
Tn future columns, I plan to
describe some of the works being
performed by public employees, and the public good they accomplish.

NO EMPLOYER may discriminate in rates of pay because of sex,

Ah! Old Days,
$22 a Month,
13%-Hr. Day
OGDENSBURG, Jan. 24—What
was tt like to work in a State in-
stitution 48 years ago? Levi Premo
of St, Lawrence State Hospital
provided vivid picture of the
“good old days” when he recently
paid « visit to Dr. Herman B.
Snow, hospital director,
Mr, Premo, who has the longest
service record at St. Lawrence, has
decided that after 48 years, 8
months and 22 days of State serv-
foe, the time has come to do some
of the things he has put off all
these years, He plans to retire
February 1.
He told Dr. Snow that his start-
ing salary, as an attendant in
1906, was $22 a month (women’s
starting pay was $16). Dr. Ricl
ard Hutchings was hospital direc-
tor; since then Mr. Premo has
worked under Dr. Paul Taddiken,
Dr. John Pritchard, Dr. Robert
Hunt, Dr, George Etling, and Dr.
Snow,
“The satary was considered
quite good, since we also received
room and board,” Mr. Premo
reminisced,
13';-Hour Day
‘The work day was from 6 A.M.
to 7:30 P.M. nightly, with half an
hour off for each meal, Every
week, employees were given half
a day off, provided they came back
on Thursday evenings for dance
duty. Every third Sunday was
their day off, from 9:30 AM. to
7;30 P.M., provided, however, they
came in at six in the morning,
made the beds, fed the patients,
and cleaned up the ward.
In 1910, Mr. Premo was ad-
mitted to the training school for
nurses and was graduated in 1912.
Shortly thereafter, he was pro-
moted to charge nurse on one of
the wards; by that time, he had
also received his RN. certificate
from Albany. Now, he was receiv-
ing $36 a month and worked the
same long hours as before,
In 1916, he became assistant to
the pathologist, was in charge of
part of the Iaboratory, and acted
8s mortician, the position which
he now holds,
When Mr, Premo went te work
at St. Lawrence, the director and
two doctors were the only ones
who had automobiles. Mr. Premo
remembered the commotion when
the first attendant bought an
automobile, about 1910. At that
time a “run-about" Ford was sell-
ing for $360, considered quite a
high price. People in the higher
income bracketa could buy a four-
door sedan for $450,
He was married to the former
Ida May Guyette in 1909, They
have two daughters and one son,
two grandsons and two grand-
daughter

four-point plan, including aban-
donment of the merit rating sys-
tem, was asked of the White Pinins
Common Council by the White
Plains Civil Service Employees As-
sociation,
In a letter President Henry J.

made these requests:
1. Preezing the present $400
cost-of-living adjustment into
base pay.
2, An across-the-board increase | ——
of & percent, in line with action
taken by other cities, the State
and Westchester County,
3. A longevity increment plan
for employees who have been at
the top of thelr salary grade for
five years, similar to a plan adopt-
ed last year by New Rochelle.
4 Abandonment of the merit
rating plan, which has been un-
popular even with employees who
received increases under the set-
up.
Mr, Rodriguez pointed out that
only 90 of 442 employees have been
given the “satisfactory” rating
which carries a merit increase and
that the board, In effect, has rated
all except the 90 as being unsatis~
factory and below the norm of
average performance. He also add~
ed that the employee has no means
of appeal and that rating should
be prepared in the employee's de-
partment, with rights of appeal,

How About the Employees
Of Legislative and Courts
O legislators consider their own employees the pariahs of
D State government? It may be a little strong to put it this
way, but just how is it that employees of the Legislature and
of the Judiciary have not received the pay increases which
were authorized for them in bills passed last year (with
money appropriated, too). At this session, Assemblyman
Preller introduces a bill for an overall pay inerease—leav-
ing out employees of the Logistature and Judiciary. Preller
is chairman of the committee revising the clyil se e law,
and a fairly important figure in Albany. He doesn’t speak for
the leaders, and his bill has little chance for passage. Never-
theless, putting everything together, we feel the question
which opens this editorial is justified. :
Apparently the legislative leaders have decided to take
no action, although they've said several times they would
“reconsider.” When employee representatives made an agree-
ment with Governor Dewey on salary last year, that agree-
ment was intended to cover all employees;-wot just those of
the executive. Two bills were introduced, setting up an appro-
priation for increases to the employees of the two smaller
branches. The probability is that the present legislative lead-
ers have power to act under last year's bills, making a pay
increase retroactive to April 1, 1954. In any case, a new mea~
sure is going into the hopper, under the sponsorship of the
Civil Service Employees Association, to right this obvious
wrong.
Sometimes you just have to scratch your head and won-
der what's the matter with the politicians.

ARE career-conditional U.S.
employees under the seat

Answer — Yes, from date of|
appointment. If they leave the
Government before completing 20
years of service, they can get their |
deductions back plus interest for
the time the money was in the
retirement fund.
MAY carecr-conditional U.S.

privileges for three years.

tenance freed from tax, When
the regulations be issued? EV.

tions, no regulations will be issued,

WHERE I5 the U. S. Income tax
deduction claimed, on the form,

Answer — Usually sick pay ts
not reported by the employer as
income; the employee does not re~
port it, either, and the beneft
frises automatically, Such pay ts
not required to be reported. Be-
cause the W-2 forms were de-
signed before the new law was

HOW CAN a U, 8, employee who

Answer He can look at the
Standard Form 50 he received
| upon appointment. If the item 7,
“Civil service or other legal auth-
| ority,.” refers to a numbered civil-
service certificate, and does not
refer to Regulation 2.116(a), his
appointment can probably be con-
verted, If the Standard Form 50
reers to Regulation 2.115(b), he
is probably not eligible for con-
version, In any case, however, al)
the facts will have to be taken into
consideration before a decision
ean be made, and the employee

SOCIAL SECURITY A BOON
Editor, The LEADER:
Tt in an excellent and far-sight-
ed idea to coordinate Social Se-
curity with the State Employees
Retirement System. The more
than 66 million Americans who
are covered by Social Security
can't be wrong.
if you are covered by Social
Security you have the best insur-
ance policy in this country. Your
employer pays a early premium
of 2 per cent, matched by wage-
earning employee, on your in-
come up to $4,200 a year.
‘This money ts set aside in a sep-
arate insurance reserve fund.
More than nine billion dollars
have been paid out since 1937
as benefits, and more than 18 bil-
lion dollars still remain in the in-
surance fund for future protec-
tion, This money in invested in
government bonds,
What is your policy worth? If
you sre a man averaging $70 a
week, with eight quarters cover-
age, and with a wife and minor
children, how much would your
family get if you die suddeniy?
They could get $197.10 each
month, not subject to income tax,
and not charity, but Insttrance
payments, How much would a pri-
vate insurance policy of that kind
cost?

CANDID PHOTOS SHOW OWNERS NEED TO FIX UP HOUSES
SEEING yourself as others see you — through candid photos of
rundown houses — is a technique used by the new bullding and hous
ing department of Louisville, Ky., to show homeowners the worth ef
rehabilitation,
The department called meetings of property owners in two areas
that had been picked as places in need of better housing standards,
Officials showed photographic slides of houses in the areas, Reports
were that a number of the viewers had not realized — until the camera
showed them — that their houses needed repairs and the grounds
needed care,
The department used the candid picture technique to stimulate
formation of neighborhood groups which would support clean-up and
rehabilitation campaigns.
CITY URGES PROPER DISPLAY OF HOUSE NUMBERS
HOPEWELL, VA., has sent its citizens a letter telling them the
advantages of putting in plain view the correct numbers on thelr
houses and business places.
“You will get better delivery service from stores,” the letter sald,
“and we will be able to organize the city more effictently for civil
défense. In adiilion, our local poxt office will be able to give you better
mail service,”
.
TAXES GOR P EVERYWHERE
The year 1954 saw increased activity by cities in imposing new
taxes and service charges and raising old rates,
Activity in the municipal revenue field for last year was sume
marized as follows;
Retail sales taxes: A number of California cities rained them one.
half of 1 per cent to « full per cent, Washington, D, C, adopted a
new 1 per cent tax on wrocery purchases of more than 28 cents,
Auburn, N, ¥., and Yuma, Ariz, adopted new 1 per cent sules taxes,
In Phoenix, Ariz, where a pending court case threatened imposition
of one-half of 1 per cent gross retail sales tax, yolers approved @
charter amendment that oknyed the tax.
Municipal income tax: Two major cities — Pittsburgh, and Cine
cinnati, — adopted 1 per cent taxes, although Cincinnati's was only
in force for seven months. Voters in St. Louis, Mo,, approved a charter
amendment allowing the city to levy an income tax, Dayton, O., citizens
approved continuation of that city’s one-half of 1 per cent tax.
Cigurette taxes were adopted by Carbondale, Murphysboro, Pekin,
Peorin, and Springfield in Mlinols and by Tallassee, Aln. Lancaster, Pa,
and New York City adopted admission taxes, Mobile, Als. imposed @
1 per cent a gallon tax en gasoline. Washington, D, C., raised its
hotel room tax from 2 per cent to 3 per cent,
Phoentx also upped the rate for an electric power franchise from

3. He was a member of Commu-
mist front organizations,
4 The State Department port-
folio on him contains information
@ufficient to indicate he might be
& security risk,
8. He has three sisters in Russia
and is therefore subject to reprisal
by the Russians,
2. The trip to Russia was to
visit his family, and had the full
approval of the Department of Ag-
riculture (under « different politi-
cal administration) at that time.
3. He was not and never had
‘been a member or supporter of the’
Communist Party, nor of any Com-
munist front organization.
4. The State Department had
investigated him thoroughiy, on
loyalty and security grounds, and
had exonerated him, including
dismissing charges that he was or
ever had been a Communist. The
Department of Agriculture did not
give him a hearing, though the
Department of State did; and Ag-
riculture produced no new evi-
dence, so fired him on the same
state of facts on which the State
Department retained him,
5. He has not seen or heard from)
his sisters in six or seven years.
He does not even know where they
are.
As an afterthought, the Department of Agriculture said that a
man familiar with American farming methods was needed tn the
Tokyo job. There were two things wrong with that. First, i€ Mr.
Ladejinnxy was fired as a possible security risk, any issue of technical
Competence wus irrelevant, and belatedly indicated a determination
te get rid of him first, and find any plausible excuse later; second,
the question of technical competence was decided in his favor by the
Depariment of Agriculture itself in the beginning, and since Mr,
Ladejinsky 1s to do the same job in Vietnam as he did in Tokyo, the
President himself was affirming the technical competence the Sec-
retary of Agriculture was denying. Te is not good policy for a Presi-
ential aproinice to cross swords with the President
The President would not have caused the appointment of Mr.
Ladejinsky to the new post if he himself had any qualms about the
Mative Riwssian’s loyalty or security, Nevertheless, on the records of
the Department of Agriculture ains the stigma on Mr, Ladejinsicy’s
Feputation, and he remains barred from working in that department,
The President, as a matter of practice, could ‘hot insist that Mr.
Benson should have taken Mr, Ladejinsk
the sume as aking for Mr. Benson's re:
hower did the next best thing
Now it would be nice if the Department of Agriculture admitted
back; that would have been
ation, But General Eisen-
Eisenhower Himself
Will Decide Conflicting
Federal Security Cases
WASHINGTON, Jan, 24—When-
ever there is a difference of opin-
fon between department heads on
whether a Federal employee may
be a security risk, President Fisen-
hower will study the case himself,
and decide it, He said so at #
press conference.
The President seeks to avoid
the public controversy such as at~
tended the case of Wolf Ladejin-
-. dropped by the Department
of Agriculture on the possibility
he might be a security risk. The

after the firing, the

tion hired him, with the Pres!-
dent's approval, even, it is re-
ported, at the President's request,
Where departmental opinion
differs, the President sald that he
would have an investigation made,
adding that “there would be a
bam pated investigation of both
es"
In the Ladejinsky case, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Bera Taft Ben-
fon gave his side of the contro-
versy to the President, who was
Jed to feel alarmed at what he had
heard, but when the case gained
nationwide publicity, and it ap-
peared that Mr. Ladejinsky may
have been unjustly treated, the
President himself got the facts
concerning the other side, ‘too,
The hiring of Mr. Ladejinsky as
an agricultural expert for assign-
ment to Vietnam, followed.
General Eisenhower is trying to
get satisfactory programs for
checking up on both loyalty and
security qualifications of Federal
employees. While much fault has
been found with the present pro-
grams, the President believes they
are the best that can be operated
at present. However, he has turned
to the Department of Justice for
suggestions of Improvements, and
expressed hope that the Associa-
tion of the Bar, NYC, would make
valuable recommendations. The
Bar Association of the District of
Columbia is offering free legal
bervice to accused employees.
‘The Senate Committee on Post
OMfice and Civil Service unante
mously asked Congress for $125/~
000 to pay for an investigation of
the two programs, which the com~
mittee will open next month, All
members of the committee ap-
proved the request, including the
Republicans, Senator Frank Carl
son (R., Kan.), former chairman
of the committee. still a member
of it, hoped that the investigation
would not turn out to be “another
Army-MecCarthy affair."
Donegan
torney, a former FBI agent who
helped gather evidence against
Alcer Hiss, William Remington,
Judith Coplon, and the 12 top
Communists, has been assigned by
Attorney General Herbert Brown-
ell, Jr.. to take charge of the de-
partment's part in giving Presi-
dent Eisenhower a life on the two

Division of Internal Security, of
which Assistant Attorney General

Like Falk
ALBANY, Jan, 24 — When
Governor Harriman sent the
name of Alexander A. Falk to
the Senate for confirmation as
] civil service commissioner, the
Senate leaders expedited the
appointment with unique speed.
The nomination was moved Im-
mediately by Senator Francis
J. Mahoney, Democratic leader,
although usual procedure is to
seod the nomination to com-
mittee, Then Walter J, Ma-
honey, GOP lender, made a lit-
tle speech praising Palk as “a
devoted public servant” and
former senator. Mr. Falk's term
extends for six years beginning
February 1.
Patient Clubs
Attendant at
State Hospital
OGDENSBURG, Jan. 24 — A
State hospital attendant, lying at
the point of death with a com-
pound fracture of the skull and
other injuries after a sudden at-
tack by a crazed patient at St.
Lawrence Hospital, lustrates
graphically the perils of attend-
ants’ duties in Institutions.
James Heagle was working at
his desk in a sick ward in the
Pritchard Pavilion when a 21-
year-old patient leaped to his feet,
selzed the lead handle of a mop
wringer and beat Heagle on the
back of the head. Patients rushed
to Heagle’s assistance and saved
him from being murdered on the
Spot. Other patients pounded on
the door for help.
Normally, there are two attend-
ants on duty in the ward, but the
second man was out to dinner,
The patient who attacked Heagle
had a long history of trouble.
However, Dr. Herman B. Snow,
director of the hospital, explained
that although the attacker was a
type that tends to be suddenly
aggressive, impulsive and assaul~
tive, he had been behaving well
during the day. Dr. Snow added
that proceedings would be started
to have him committed to Mattea-
wan.
Employment

is obvious, but so should be the

victimize the Innocent, but since
the effect is there, absence of in-
tent matters not.
Not only is It necessary to pro-

to be heard, but it {s also neces-

know that they are not being
hibitive circumstances,
If the Federal government can
not get a sufficient number of col-
lege seniors interested in the fine
career opportunities it offers, and
since the starting pay is not too
insignificant, and the promotion
opportunities not bad for alert and
resourceful workers, could it not
be that seniors who would other-
wise apply are frightened away by
the possibility that they, too, may
be made the Innocent victims of

SUGGESTS SAVING
LEGISLATOR ARTICLE
Editor, The LEADER:
I would lke to congratulate you
on your splendid article “A Young
LegisIator Comes to Albany.”
| Having spent some years gala-
vanting about the capital attempt-
ing to have bills introduced and
passed, I oun readily understand
the tremendous tas involved,
IT am certain your article will
give all civil servants a better un=
| derstanding of the difficulties of
bill-making, and the amount of
work needed to have a bill passed,
Perhaps some of our fellow
workers will realize the futility of
just throwing bills In the hopper
in « haphazard manner.
AN those interested in civil sery=
ice would do well to file the article
some place where it may be
