‘Welfare Provisionals
‘Fight to Hold Jobs

201 provisional Social In-
vestigators serving in the Wel-
fare Department's veteran bu-
reau have reached a legal bot-
tleneck.

Justice Albert Cohn of the
Appellate Division granted the
provisionals a stay pending ar-
guments on the matter of
granting leave to appeal to
the Court of Appeals, The ar-
guments will be heard Friday,
June 28; the decision is to be
handed down by Wednesday,
July 3.

It is expected that the Appellate
Division will refuse to grant leave
to appeal; after all, observers point
out, the Court has already ruled
unanimously against the provis-

case,

Following the decision of the
Appellate Division, only one fur-
ther legal loop is open to the pro-

ionals in the Sherman y. Hodson}

But They‘ve Reached Legal Bottleneck

visionals: direct appeal to the
Court of Appeals. The high court
adjourned a week ago, but an in-
dividual judge may grant a stay
until October, when the court it-
self may decide if it will hear the
case.

Eligibles on the Social Investi-
gator list, who will get the jobs
when the provisionals are finally
ousted, cry that any stay deprives
|them further of employment les-
jally theirs. They point out that
the Court of Appeals has already
ruled against provisionals in sim-
jilar cases, and would hardly
| change its ruling in the fall, Since
they cannot be appointed now be-
fore July 3, they are already de-
prived of increments that start

Request Better
Status for IRT-BM
Employees

Protection of the seniority, pro-
motiona’ and salary rights of more
than 1,000 IRT and BMT super-
visory and administrative employ-
|ees was sought this week by the
Civil Service Reform League in an
appeal to the Municipal Civil Ser-
vice Commission,

As explained by H. Eliot Kap-
|lan, advisory counsel for the em-
ploy: the IRT receivers cut
basic salaries of the supervisory
and administrative staffs from 2
per cent to 8 per cent and did not
restore these salaries before the
line was taken over by the city
this month, As a result, employ-
ees doing the same kind of work
are receiving different salaries.

Basic Salary

The League asked that the Com-
mission place these persons in the
grade which corresponds to their
basic salary rather than their
present salary so that they will not
be deprived of the promotional op-
portunities and salary increments

| accorded to others doing the same
kind of work

When the receiver took oyer the

|IRT, he placed a large group of

|workers on a five-day week an
|eut their salaries eigh: per cent,
Others were placed on a five-day
week half of each month and their
|salaries cut four per cent, An-
|other group was placed on a five-
day week once each month and
cut two per cent

The League has asked the Board
of Transportation to restore these
salary reductions, Kaplan said.
However, if this is impossible, the
Civil Service Commission can at
least grant the employees their
Civil Service rights. Approximate~-
ly 50 per cent of the supervisory

igation of the background of these
———— eligibles is now under way,

The need to combat “subversive
activities” has brought this sudden
action, 75 men were appointed on
May 1, shortly after the appear-
ance of the list, and 20 further
appointments were expected July
1

Most of the additional person-
nel is to be located in the Bureau
of Criminal Investigation. Exper-
ienced men will be transferred to
this bureau, while new appointees
take on routine duties, The B.C.I.
ordinarily has a staff of 100; in
1939, they took up 4,587 major in-
vestigations. The staff of the Di-
vision of State Police will be raised
to about 900 troopers by the ad-
ditions,

At a conference last week be-
tween Governor Lehman and leg-
islative leaders, it was decided that
the $300,000 needed for this ex-
pansion will be appropriated by
the 1941 Legislature.

The normal life of the State
Trooper list is two years, Although
the present rate of appointment ts
not likely to continue, it is pos-
sible that the 295-man list will
be completely exhausted before the
two years are up,

Take It Easy!

yl HE Municipal Civil Service Commission is working

at top-speed to investigate and reclassify all BMT
and IRT employees who have now become city

workers.

One important phase of this investigation is an ex-
amination into the past records of every single employee.
This examination delves into old arrests and convictions;
it also determines whether a person has been in dif-
ficulties of any sort—domestic, financial, or social. If
the Commission decides that an employee's past is dark-
ened by too many black spots. he will lose his job.

Up to date the Commission has given no indication
of what offenses it considers serious enough to justify
dismissal. It has said that it will give employees “the
benefit of the doubt.”

So far, nearly 20 percent of the investigations have
turned up cases which the Commission has decided to
study more closely. In the majority of these, the in-
dividual involved will be summoned to the Commission’s
office to make a personal explanation of why he got in
a jam some time in the past

‘Tue Leaver is in favor of these investigations, But
ft wants to go emphatically on record against any at-
tempt to apply a zealous policy in dismissals; or to apply
the letter, rather than the spirit, of the law in judging
past offenses. Dismissals snould result only when an
employee, on the basis of his record, cannot fulfill his
duties as a Civil Service worker.

This warning is not untimely, Last week the Com-
mission lost a case in which it had attempted to dis-
miss a woman from her Stenographic job, because she
was a few months older than the maximum allowed
when the exam was given. The Commission admitted
that the woman honestly believed she came within the
age limit. Her error was not deliberate and only an
investigation months after she had been appointed and
had completed her probationary period turned up the
true facts. Then the Commission had her fired. The
eourts reinstated her, wisely!

‘The morale of thousands of subway workers will be
greatly strengthened if they know that the Commission's
policy in these investigations is liberal and fair. Tue
Leaver urges the Commission to give such reassurances.

Men

William B.
Herlands

“Get the facts, and your
problem is solved.”

This is William B. Herlands
talking in his modulated New
Yorkese. He walks back and forth
as he converses, intensely absorb-
ed in his work of procuring fac-
tual information for New York
City. He strikes you oddly, as he
greets you with his boyish grin
(he’s in his early thirties), and
then launches into a series of
greybeard opinions for young men
or sober discussions of govern-
mental theory.

When you're through with the
interview, you sum up your im~-
pression of the man: cool, caut-
ious, careful, clever.

The Department of Investiga-
tion, which William B. Herlands
heads, was created in 1938. The
Department conducts investiga-
tions for the Mayor, for the City
Council, or on its own initiative.
It takes within its purview prob-
lems as diversified as these: an
analysis of the administration of
relief in New York City, and
catching up with gyps who sold
examination questions to Civil
Service applicants.

Herlands has studied sales
taxes, foreign trade zones; has in-
vestigated the administration of
criminal law in Kings County and
irregularities im awarding con-
tracts, He has brought to justice
@ man who surrepetitiously prac-
ticed law in the basement of the
Board of Education building and
who dictated his briefs to another
city employee, And he has saved
the city vast sums on its printing
bills.

Investigating Insanity

The problem of insanity is an
excellent example of Herlands’ use
of scientific method. For years,
there has been a deep conflict be-
tween the legal and the medical
concepts of insanity. A man
might be insane according to the
psyehiatrists but sane according to
the lawyers. The ease with which
one could be “put away” into a
mental institution by skulldugge-
ry has long worried sensitive
souls. But few saw that anything
could be done about it, since the
doctors themselves disagreed vio-
lently on what constitutes mental
and emotional breakdown.

“FR ACTS, facts, facts!”

Dynamic Bill Herlands under-
took to bring order into this im-
portant realm. He started by
leaving theory to the theorists.
He would get the facts first. So
he called in members of the legal
Profession who had wrestled with
the problem; he gained the co-
operation of the Academy of
Medicine, and the aid of six psy-
chiatric societies. The group stu-
died thousands of case records.
They discovered early that most
of the disputes lay in definitions
vather than concepts.

The result of this work will
probably be ready for presenta~
tion at the next session of the le-
eislature. It will be a hard-
headed, factual report, and may
make history both in the courts
and in the offices of mental heal-
ers.

Background

A clue to the kind of thinking
that Herlands does may perhaps
be found in his original intention
to be a physician. He got side-
tracked into law, but the scien-
tific training he had at CCNY left
a permanent impress upon him.
At college, he made Phi Beta
Kappa, No “greasy grind,” he
worked his way through school as
a tennis instructor and pianist,
He won the Pell medal as the
highest ranking student. Later,
at Columbia, he helped edit the
Law Review.

His rise after entering the bar
in 1929 was rapid. He became, in
swift succession, an assistant U.
S. attorney, assistant corporation
council for New York City, and
eRiief assistant to Thomas Dewey.
In 1938, he was appointed Com-
missioner of Investigation.

Deeply interested in the pro-
gress of democracy, William B.
Herlands yet refuses to belong to
any political party. To young
men he says: “All of the new gov-
ernmental techniques are ex-
pressed in the jargon of the law.
Legal training is splendid equip-
ment for a public service career.
Civil Service must be the backbone
of a solid public service, In fact,
the very survival of democracy de.
pends upon the development of a
professional Civil Service.”

It appears as if Herlands, with
his emphasis om facts, is going

places.

Eligible Suggests
Wage-Hour Association

Sirs: The tetter published in
last week's “Leader” concerning
eligibles on the register-for In-
spector, Wage & Hour Division,
United States Department of
Labor, is very timely,

This particular register in-
cludes many responsible persons
who represent the very type of
individual needed for adminis-
trative or supervisory work in
the various branches of our gov-
ernment and particularly for
the expanded defense program,

requirements for substantial ex-
perience in industry or govern-
ment in responsible administra-
tive capacities and then survived
written intelligence tests and
exhaustive oral examinations as
well as investigation,

This list would appear to be
ideal for filling vacancies in
other departments where the
valuable training and experi-
ence of these eligibles ean be
used to advantage. It should
not be necessary to use this list
for positions paying less than
$2,600.00 annually, as suggested
by the author of the letter refer-
red to above, This salary is Hit-
tle enough for the valuable type
of individual on this register,
and would represent, am exeel-
lent investment on the part of
the Federal Government,

I believe that your publica-

this register and in aiding in
the formation of a suitable as-
sociation will be appreciated.

ADDBESS) si suissvantessassssuree sana RRR

by May Andres Healy

May Andres Healy is granted the widest latitude
in expressing her views, Her opinions do not ne-
cessarily represent the views of The Leader,

In a few days schools wiil close and over a million chil-
dren will be free to follow their own pursuits.

In past years an adequate playground program was pro-
vided for those children who were not fortunate enough to
go to a camp or to be taken out of the city by their parents,
As the time approaches for the opening of the school play-
grounds we wonder what can be offered to the children with
the curtailed funds at the disposal of the Board of Education,

In adopting the budget this year E—_—————
the Board of Estimate cut the) of program that will interest large
Board of Education playground | groups of children,

appropriation drastically. All
funds for principals and teachers-
in-charge of playgrounds were de-
leted. No funds were provided for
supervisors.

If the playgrounds are to con-
tinue certainly a responsible per-
son must be in charge, not only
for th fety of the children and
the value of the program offer-
ed, but also to protect the prop-
erty of the Board of Education,

I do not know what our City
Fathers were thinking of when
these slashes were made,

No Substitute

It is true that a large sum
was appropriated for the Park
Department's playgrounds, but
these park playgrounds can nev-
er take the place of the school
playgrounds, For the most part
these park playgrounds are en-
tirely out-of-doors and are use-
ss in bad weather and during
the heat of the day. Further
they are often located at such
a distance that the younger chil-
dren cannot take advantage of
them even if shelter were pro-
vided.

The school playground is the
natural place for such a summer
program, It has both indoor and
outdoor facilities. The child is
accustomed the school
roundings.

to
It is a great pity that
such scant provision is to be made
this year,

In past years a typical program

sur-

included supervision and lead
ship for Kindergarten Groups, for
boys from eight to ten years of
age and for girls of the same age
level, as well as the more mature
activities for both boys and girls
up to fifteen years of age,

Arts and Crafts attracted a
great many children—Shop class-
es, Music Groups (both instru-
mental and vocal), Dancing class-
es, a Game Room for quiet games
and Junior Clubs, as well as all
the active sports such as baseball,
basketball and the like with the
opportunity for showers after-
wards constituted a typical day's
schedule.

What is to happen this year?

Only one or two teachers are to
be assigned to each school play-
ground!

A diversified program that will
attract the children can not pos-
sibly be offered with such a li-
mited staff—teachers are needed
for each age group—the kinder-
garten child needs a teacher spe-
cially trained in that work. Wo-
men teachers for girls’ activities
and men teachers for the boys ac-
tivities are essential for each
It is therefore understandable th
one or two teachers to a pla
ground cannot conduct the type

staff.
t

Indeed, if tt were not for the
WPA Recreation Project, which
is available for playground work
the program would be even more
meager and certainly not nearly
as many playground centers
| could be opened, During the
summer, however, many of the
experienced WPA _ recreation
workers will be dropped and
others less experienced will re-
place them. The WPA is an ever
changing personnel due to the
Federal law which provides for
the automatic dismissal of these
employees after eighteen months
continuous service.

Leisure time education is as nec-
essary for children as their’ reg-
ular Day School studies—the types
of recreat indulged in by chil-
dren and young adults is as much
the responsibility of the schools

In order to do the job
well a certain definite type of
training is nec 'y. A pedagogi-
cal attitude repels therefore many
classroom teachers who are not
suited to recreation work, The
everchanging WPA personnel is no
more menacing to a good job than
the great turnover ‘each year in
the Board of Education personnel
doing recreational work.

Regular License

It is time that a regular li
cense on an annual salary basis
was provided for people train-
ed to lead in leisure time educa-
tion, We have endeavored to
run a recreational program in
our schools with per diem work-
ers, At the best it has been a
part time job for these employ-
ees.

Long ago the Park Department
set up full time (civil service)
playground directors who could
devote all their time to the job.
Recently the Board of Education
has approved such a plan for our
Recreation Department. The Bud-
get director did not approve, so
we are still struggling along with
make-shift staffs,

The children of our city need
experienced recreation leaders and
must be provided with the proper
centers for after-school and even-
ing activities,
| Leading penoiogists very defini-

| I firmly believe that all chil-
| dren, even those in wealthy neigh-
| borhoods, need proper play facil-
| ities and play leadership,

Background
Of The Week’s News

Regents Show
Backbone

After a year of diligent search-
ing, the Board of Regents last
week appointed 69-year-old Dr.
Ernest E. Cole as State Commis-
sioner of Education. Behind this
appointment is a little story which
the news reports failed to carry.

The New York State Economic
Council moved heaven and earth
to persuade the Regents to ap-
point a “businessman” to the job.
The Council even suggested what
looks like a little gentle bribery,
urging that that the present $15,-
000 salary be upped to $25,000,
Lest it appear odd that a group}
given to “economy” should recom-
mend so precipitous a rise in
salary, a quote from one of the
Council statements will explain:
“The Commissioner can bring
about savings of millions for the!
taxpayer.” The same statement
goes on to say that the Commis-
sioner “can greatly improve
education,” though it doesn’t
point out how this is possible
while “millions” are being saved.

Now the Board of Regents has
never been called a decisive, firm
body, That it withstood the pres-
sure of the Economic Council |
speaks highly for its integrity and
its sense of responsibility to the
educational system of the State.
}Dr. Cole's appointment means|
| that the Department of Education |
will probably not endorse strin-
gent budget-cutting.

Cole, who succeeds Dr. Frank}
P. Graves, can have only a short
| term. He must leave by January
31, 1942, because of age. But the
Regents are now free to continue
their hunt fur the best man for
the job.

‘Trade Problems

| Dr. Campbell, Superintendent
chools, and his committee in-
vestigating the possibilities of in-
Jcreased vocational training in

New York City schools, last week
reported this progress:

1, A prospective deal with the
WPA for men to act as teachers.
| 2. A decision to throw the
schools open on a 24-hour-a-day
schedule whenever the federal
government says “go.”

3. A blunt avowal that the
dual job law will have to be re-
Pealed,

4. A proposal to hold emergen-
cy tests in cases where the reg-
ular eligible lists don’t provide
jenough teachers.

Dr. Campbell and his commit-
tee failed to discuss these prob-
lems;

1, How competent teachers
could be provided with the pres-
ent high requirements, low pay.

2, How it would be possible to
keep schools running on a 24-
hour-a-day basis (see Leader for
June 11, page 10),

Guild Proposals On
Trade Education

The proposal to use vocational
schools in New York City as a
training ground for young men
and women to meet defense needs
of this country, has been sub-
mitted to a searching examination
by the Teachers Guild Associates.
In a letter to Superintendent
Harold G, Campbell, the organ-
| ization warned that many dangers
were imminent in the program
| unless it is given careful study be~
fore being launched.

‘The committee that has been

created to further the training

program was advised to avoid the | test given last fall should be
| thing of a jolt,

following:

1. The danger of giving space,
and service to post-graduates at |
the expense of boys ana girls now |
clamoring to be admitted to!
vocational schools, whose future
usefulness depends on present!
training.

2. The danger of lowering
vocational school standards by ac-
cepting as instructors persons
who may qualify as craftsmen,
but who have had no training
and experience as teachers.

3. The danger of cluttering up
our regular vocational program
with emergency training in jobs
which could be better learned in
the factory or on the job itself.

The Teachers Guild Associa-
tes suggested a three-point ap-
proach to the problem:

1, That in the survey of equip-
ment and personnel now under-
way, the committee include pos-
sible school buildings, or other
buildings, suitable for conversion
into vocational schools.

2, That, in this connection,
academic, junior high, and ele-
mentary schools which have fallen
in attendance, and are in phy-
sical condition and location suit-
able for use as trade scchools, be
considered with a view to the fu-
ture needs of the system,

3. That the committee investi-
gate the possibility of transfer-
ring to vocational high schools

ON PROJECTS

Plea: Not Guilty

Up for trial last week came
three persons from Samuel Gom-
pers Vocational High School: the
principal, Charles J, Pickett; his
administrative assistant, Fred
Siegel; and a clerk, Florence C,
Fisher, New York's investigators
had found what looked like a new
kind of racket: giving jobs to sub-
stitutes who did no teaching (for
inside story, see last week's
Leader, page 10), Before a Board
of Ed trial committee, the three
this week pleaded is wasn't so.
One explanation revealed by THE
Leaver in its story was advanced
by Pickett: that the teachers ac-
tually did their work, but that the
school was so crowded that fre-
quently two teacers had to be in
the same classroom at the same
time.

While Board officials refused to
discuss the case except generally,
it appears that the explanation is
one that can be readily checked,
nd the trial examiners look upon
it skeptically.

In a tough spot is the clerk,
Florence Fisher. She only did

what her boss told her.

of the resons why he used those
big words, Liebler got into the
jam because his lawyer wrote the
words, as lawyers will, thinking

they sounded impressive a
maybe convincing. The pee
Charles Barasch, is himst

squirming at this mess he got his
client into, and says: “To attack
a teacher pecuuse of what he said
in his legal papers would invol'?
not only the teacher alone, but
the integrity of judicial proce

Consolidation

qstricts be consolidated as an
conomy measure, The legisative

@uestions

ILLIAM Hannig heads the
W ogres of the Board of Edu-

cation...that mysterious,
aloof, silent little group of men
who devise exams to flunk people
and thus prevent them from be-
coming school teachers in the New
York City system. That was a
thumbnail description this re-
porter got from an impressionable
young lady who had tried valiant-
ly to become an English teacher,
but, alas, had gotten nowhere.

So we decided to go up to 59th
Street and have a look into this
ogre business.

We must report back to our
young lady that we found no re-
semblance to an ogre in the per-
son of Dr. Hannig. He might
pass for a country editor, but not
an ogre. And a little research in-
to Dr, Hannig’s work shows noth-
ing more mysterious than an ef-
ficient, modern system for select-
ing competent teachers. He and
his “silent little group of men”
each year examine 20,000 to 30,-
000 applicants. They must devise
exams and give them in a man-
ner designed for utmost fairness.
To their credit, it must be said
that they have kept recrimination
to a minimum.

|Stock Market

Students at Hunter Model
School now join Mother and Dad
in arguments about the stock
market .. . Teachers have been
taking classes down to the New|
York Stock Exchange, where the
pupils can get a realistic idea of|
how the world’s greatest security
market operates ,.. Back at
school, each pupil selects one
particular stock, watches its ups
jand downs, sees if he makes a pro-
fit or loss at the end of a certain
period . . . These days, the downs
are more prevalent than the
ups .. .As a result, the children
have learned of the pitfalls of
speculation . , . Many of them ad-
vise their parents what to do and
what not to do, and the harassed
parents are inclined to listen...
It all adds up to an interesting
educational procedure, with the
students given early insight into
the one of the major complexities
of modern life.

A variation on usual testing

od,” used in the selection of de-

| carefully-selected first assistants
|are released from their duties for

the record and the general quali-
| fications of the candidate, Elab-
orate questionnaires are filled out
by the candidate, by his depart-
ment head, and by his principal.

an extended conference, collate

port.

Background

Dr. Hannig 15 an articulate
man, He uses the language in a
rugged, unpretentious way, yet
he can construct phrases that are
models of verbal form. It is said
that he has held legislative com-
mittees spellbound by the clarity
of his words,

From the time he was very
young, Hannig wanted to teach.
He took his college degree at 18,
He’s been number 1 on the eligi-
ble list of every exam he ever took
except one for principal, He was
second on that, When he assum-
ed charge of P. S, 85, he was one
of the youngest men ever to hold
the position of principal.

Outside of his work in the
Board of Education, Hannig
|makes no claim to a spectacular
jlife. He likes the theatre and
besebell but he doesn’t cultivate
any hobby intensively. Nonethe-
less, he is a photographer of abili-
ty, judging from the photos which
hang artlessly over his office.

MATERNITY LEAVE

I plan to take a maternity leave
next month, Can I expect to be
paid for the entire summer vaca-
|tion? Ans. Yes.

LANGUAGE TEACHER

Would you advise me to begin a
college course leading to an A.B.
with a French major. It is my
hope to teach the language, Ans.
Dr, Huebner, of the Foreign Lan-
guage Division of the Board of
Education, advises new students
to avoid language study at this
time, since the prospect of a job
is slim. See the article “Language
Curve” on the preceding page.

AVIATION STUDENT

Where can I obtain a course in
aviation mechanics? Do I have to
pay? Ans. Courses in aviation
mechanics are given at the Haaren
High School, Manhattan High
School of Aviation Trades, Brook-
lyn Evening Technical High
School, East New York Vocational
High School, Jamaica Vocational
High School, and at a number of
private schools. The public schools
do not charge; the private schools
do.

VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOLS

How many vocational high
schools are there in New York?
How many teaching and super-
visory positions are there? Ans.
According to the latest report of
the Board of Education, there are
24 vocational school organizations
and 2,232 teaching, clerical, and
supervisory positions,

REAL ESTATE |

M.O.—1I am in the real estate |
business, and I want my son to
follow in my footsteps. He is
about to enter high school. Is
real estate taught in high school?
Ans—No. We suggest that he
take a commercial course if his
inclinations and aptitudes are in
accord with your desires as to his
future, and if you do not intend
to send him to college. If you can
give him a college education, have
him take an academic course, and
then study real estate and real)

of the colleges in New York City |
give such courses,

Question, Please?

by H.

ELIOT KAPLAN

CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

YOBS FOR YOUTH

P.K.—I well appreciate your
situation and that of thousands
of other young men just out of
high school, Jobs are hard to
get even though you have am-
bition, sincerity and idealism,
since you have little or no ex~-
perience, It is not easy to point
out specific positions in Civil
Service which you can expect to
get within a reasonable time.
There are some clerical jobs
that are open to persons with
little or no experience, such as
junior clerks, messengers, etc.
‘These may seem unimportant to
you now, but they are starting
points. Many of the high grade
administrative, supervisory and
executive positions in the pub-
lic service today are filled by
former office boys and clerks,

You should watch the an-

@nouncements of all city, state
and, federal examinations, for
jobs which you are eligible to
apply for.

Those of you who are me~
chanically inclined or have @
bent for a skilled trade posi-
tion, such as shipbuilding or
aviation construction, would do
well to get some intensive voca~
tional training. If you have
such training, you will un-
doubtedly be able to get an ap-
prenticeship in the Navy or
‘War departments. The govern-
ment will soon develop a pro-
gram for training young people
pee want to go into public ser-
vice.

Don't be impatient and don’t
wet discouraged, If you are
really persistent enough you will
find some job in the service to
fit your needs.

LEAVES FOR VISIONALS

J.C.—As a rule leaves of ab-
sence are not given to provi-
sional or temporary appointees.
The department, however, does
have discretion to grant leaves
for illness or other reason, with
or without pay, Leaves must be
applied for through the regular
channels of the department;
that is, through your superior
officer, No particular formali-
ty is required, It may be oral
or in writing. Resignation of a
temporary appointee may be
oral or by letter, While no pre-
vious notice is required, as @
matter of courtesy it is well to
inform the department as far
in advance is possible.

CLERK-CARRIER LIST

J.W.—The clerk-carrier list
(Fed.) will terminate on the
date fixed by the Commission
for its expiration unless its life
is extended, My guess is that
certifications and appoint-
ments will continue to be made
from the existing lists until new
registers are established after
new examinations,

PROMOTION FOR WATCHMEN
B. Y.—Watchmen in the Park
Department and others were
appointed generally from the
eligible list for Attendant,
Grade 1, They are eligible to
take promotion tests for Grade
2 positions, These carry @

Future State Tests

The State law says that titles
of open competitive lists re«
quested by departments and in-
stitutions must be publicly an-
nounced for 15 days before the
State Commission takes action,
The following lists are now be-
ing advertised (the date denotes
when the 15 days are up):

would then get.a passing mark,

Commission, but the “Fite”
Commission, named after the
Chairman of the Commission,
Assembly Emerson D. Fite of
Poughkeepsie. It has nothing
to do with the Boxing Commis-
sion. Its function is to maf a
study of the practicability of
extending the Civil Service rules
to the smaller jurisdictions of
the State now excluded from
them,

PERMANENT STATUS

AK—An eligible appointed
to a position in the federal ser-
vice for an “indefinite proba-

at any time without charges. If
he serves for a continuous pe-
riod beyond the usual proba-

EMPLOYEES TO GET BENEFIT OF DOUBTS

Ten thousand BMT employees®-

and 1,200 workers on the IRT
have been interviewed and inves-
tigated by field parties from the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion. These interviews are being
made while the employees are at
work, so that their actual duties
can be discovered
an overall reclas
the Commission is making; event-
ually it will fit the IRT and BMT
workers into existing job titles,
or, if appropriate ones do not
exist, it will create new ones. Not
until this reclassification work is
completed can the Commission
transfer the subway workers into
the Competitive Civil Service. In
the meantime, they remain in the
non-competitive class.

While the field parties are hard
at work, investigators in the
Commission's office are checking
character records. So far they
have worked on 2,500 cases, com-
pleting 1,904. 464 cases were re-
ported to the Commission because
of records of arrests or other dif-
ficulties which cast doubts on the

employee's background, When
there is a question of an em-
ployee's record, he will frequently
be called down to the Commis-
sion's office to make a personal
explanation. However, not all of
the 464 cases thus far reported
will necessarily be summoned, ac-
cording to officials of the Com-
mission, , Some will be cleared up
without personal interviews.

The first batch of those who are
summoned will be asked to ap-
pear on Thursday, June 27,

So far, the Commission has
given no indication of what kind
of record an employee must have
to be disqualified for a Civil Ser-
vice job; but the Commission has
stated that it will give the em-
ployees the benefit of the doubt
in any event.

Transfers Completed

The Commission has completed
the transfer of payroll cards for
all IRT and BMT workers. It has
also set up 4,270 service rating
cards and 1,677 personnel folders

She ‘Didn't Know Her Age,
Court Gives Job Back

Sylvia Resnick, of 94 Hamilton Place, last week won the
right to be reinstated as Stenographer and Typist, Grade 2, in

the Municipal Broade:

ting Station.

She was removed from

her job after the Municipal Civil Service Commission disqual-

ified her,

Miss Resnick was appointed to the Department of

Welfare in January, 1939 and transferred to WNYC several

months later.

Last October, after she had served her proba-

tionary period, and apparently gained a permanent status, the
Commission ordered her removed on the grounds that there
were discrepancies in her statements about her age at the time

she applied for the position.

An age limit of 18 to 32 had been
set by the Commission. Miss Res-
nick was proved to be over-age.
‘The Commission did not contend
that her statements regarding her
age were deliberate, According to
Justice Aaron J, Levy, who de-
livered the opinion in the case,
“the petitioned was at all times

under the impression that her
Stated age was correct until doc-
umentary evidence proved the
contrary,”

In defining the powers of the
Commission in removal proceed-

ings, Justice Levy said: “The
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion had no authority to cancel
the certification of a permanent
appointee. Such right of cancel-
lation might perhaps be supported
in a case where the appointee is
disqualified by reason of lack of
perscribed education attainments,
or lack of experience, or willful
fraud in attaining a place on the
list. Here the statement of the
petitioner was clearly an inadvert-
ence, Under these circumstances
the motion for reinstatement
should be granted.”

for the respective employees.

The complete task of investiga-
ting, checking, and reclassifying
subway employees is expected to
proceed rapidly. The Commission
has a special appropriation and a
special staff which is doing the
work,

Weekly reports of the progress
of this work will appear in future
issues of THe Leaver.

Temporary Workers
Await Court Action

Temporary employees in the
State service anxiously await the
arrival of October, During that
month the Fite law controlling
temporary employment goes into
effect; and the Court of Appzals
is expected to rule in the Hilsen-
rad vy. Miller case, which concerns
the matter of when a “temporary”
job becomes permanent.
