ALBANY, Nov. 22—The highly-
ublicized college examination
ries, Which provides an oppor-.
nity for college seniors and
raduates to enter State service,
ot underway last week with the
By MORTON YARMON
NYC employees who have an
of enlisting in the army or
avy, under the present recruit-
ent program of the armed forces,
and thereby enjoy the special
benefits accorded to persons in
ithe armed forces under the State
Military Law, are laboring under
8 misapprehension, They are not
entitled to military leave, Also,
inless they get a leave of absence
rom their jobs they would be sub-
ject to charges of absence without
», for which they could be dis-
by their department head.
This interpretation of the law
Was given to inquirers by NYC
officials who said that the city is
governed by the military law,
which does not extend the benefits
to those who enlist now,
What Others Get
Promotion examinations they mis-
Sed, or, in open-competitive ex-
aminations, parts of the examina-
tion that they missed after they

aa Was clarified recently for war

Nsht to seniority was’ as of the

lover on the list was appointed or

Cleran preference were not to be
fad into that law. Clarification
I additional points on the same
feneral question were requested

Mission and an opinion on these
4 expected next month.

opening of the application period.
Applications for the series of
tests in 14 specialties, scheduled
for January 15, will be received
up until December 11.
Specialized Fields
The examining program covers
these specialized fields: Account-
ing, administration, economics,
statistics, law, education, library
science, psychology, social service
(outside New York City), journa-
lism, bacteriology, chemistry, en-
gineering and geology.
“100 Accounting Jobs
Of these fields, three are new
to the college series this year.
The department said it had added
accounting, psychology. and geo-
logy to its list. In the accounting
field alone, it is anticipated there
will be approximately 100 open-
ings for successful candidates tak-
ing the examination for profes-
sional and technical assistant.
An Opportunity
Here's what the department said
of its program:
“New York State government
has places each year for a limited:
number of college graduates with
out experience who can demon-
strate, through competitive ex-
amination, their fitness for some
of the different kinds of work car-
ried on by government.
“The piptessional and technical
assistant examination is given an-
nually to provide an opportunity
to enter government service for
young men and women about to

come from the campus into the

Can Advance Top
A clue to the reason so much
emphasis is given to this exam-
ination is found in the declaration
of purpose issued by the depart-
ment: “Because the State service
depends on promotion to fill its
highest positions, there is a special
need for persons who are poten-
tially capable of advancing to the
top of their fields.”
General List
‘For the first time, there will
be a general list consisting of the
200 candidates scoring highest on
the examination regardless of their
specialization,

WASHINGTON, Noy. 22--Top
priovity for legislation to in-
crease the pay of the U. S. em-
ployees covered by the Classifica-
tion Act, and of per diem em-
ployees as well, is the main pres-
ent objective of employee organ~
izations,
The new Congress is expected
to be sympathetic to a raise in
pay, and President Harry S, Tru-
man is definitely corhmitted to
one, for he held the last increase,
of $330, inadequate, and during
the recent Presidential campaign
wrote letters to union heads, fay-
oring an increase,
It is regarded as certain that a
strong fight will have to be made
by employee organizations to at-
tain a high enough increase. Ef-
forts are still being made to unite
on a single adequate figure, or
method, to ayoid the confusion
of conflicting requests that at-
tended the last session of Con-
gress and resulted in compro-
mise legislation,
The atmosphere will be quite
different than in the last Con-
gress, The new chairmen of the
Post Office and Civil Seryice Com-
mittees of the Senate and the
House are expected to be Senator
Olin D. Johnston, of South Caro-
lina, and Representative Thomas
Murray, of Tennessee. The Con-
gress will have a Democrati
majority in both Houses an
therefore the President's view-
points on Federal pay are expected
to carry far greater weight than
they did with the 80th Congress,
over which the Republicans held
sway. It is not to be expected,
however, that all the Democrats
will go with him all the way on
U. S. salaries, for he must expect
some opposition from Southern
Democrats who've been backing
up Senator Harry S. Byrd in his
“economy” onslaughts, Neverthe-
less, the prospects of final suc-
cess by the employees, in attain-
ing an acceptable raise, are ap-
pearing favorable.
Policy Question Arises
The pay bill affecting Cabinet
members, other department heads
and occupants of other top or ad-
ministrative posts, is expected to
be enacted without much trouble.
The President is solidly behind
that too. The old $10,000 to
' $15,000 would be increased
Employees to Seek Priority
For U.S. Pay Increase Bill
to
$15,000 to $20,000, and thus pro-
yide more pay for these positions
for the first time in about thirteen
years, Employee organizations in-
tend to support the ‘legislation,
both because they deem it just
and because a raise for the higher_
ups would be a good incentive
toward a raise for the lower-downs.
The whole Classification Act is to
be revised, according to present
plans, and the increases for the
bulk of civil service employees
included in the revision.
A question of policy has arisen
concerning the advisability of ty-
ing in the bill for raising the
bosses, with a bill for raising their
employees. It is contended by
some that the smooth path that
appears to lie ahead for those in
the upper brackets would be use-
ful in expediting and assuring
results for civil service employees
generally, Others contend that
the Cl ification Act revision is
a time-consuming process, and
that {t would not be wise to have|
a bill that requires no intensive
Study coupled with one that does,

the upper-bracket bill might be

State Workers Prepare Case
For Overall Salary Increase

ALBANY, Nov with
the|
budget hearings in full swing,
hour is drawing near when’ the
question of pay increases for
State employees will be thrashed
out in top administration circles
The Civil’ Service Employ

this week its Salary Committee

ences with § appropriating
authorities to ‘The facts

Personnel Council Refuted
Meanwhile protests continued
to flood the headquarters of the
Association over “implications in
an article contained in the State
Personnel News for November that
State salaries have kept pace with
the cost of living.” The article
s distributed to some 60,000
employees throughout the

Association officials pointed out
they had refuted the “implica-
tions” in statements published in
The LEADER November 9 and
16th. It was pointed out that
State employees received no cost
of living adjustment until April,
1943.
Adjustments Lag Behind

the various grades have failed to
keep pace with the cost of livin
the Association told The LEAD-
ER. “And this is the reason,
some 41,000 State ¢employees,
members of the Association, want
a 12 per cent cost of living ad-
justment added to the present
accumulated emergency rates and
that the total adjustment be
made part of the basic salary
rates in all grades.” -
Similar adjustments, Associa-
tion leaders point out, are vital
to the welfare of thousands of
county and municipal employees
throughout the State.
Living Costs at High Point
Another phase of the case the
Association is now preparing for
its conferences with the admini-
stration is that the cost of living
is at a high point of 174.6 over
pre-war days.
The Association points out the
cost of living adjustments amount
to highs over 1940 of 49 per cent
in the $2,000 to $3,100 salary
bracket, 41 per cent in the $3,000
to $4,000 range and 29 per cent
in the $4,000 to $5,000 bracket.
“It is vital,” Association staff
members say, “that adjustments
in the forthcoming budget be sub-
stantial and reflective of econom-
ic factors.”

Correction
Held Up
cording to The Civil Service Em-

ble to that of guards in other
State Correction institutions.
In addition to the question of
reclassification, the employees have
asked corresponding pay adjust-
ment to bring their pay scaly in
line with salaries paid prison
guards.
Delay Considered Danger
Any further extended delay in
acting on the reclassification and
salary questions, it is pointed out
in Capitol Hill circles, may nullify
efforts of the employees them-
selves and The Civil Service Em-
ployees Association to obtain the
needed change in 1949.
With budget hearings nearly
completed, some observers
hoping the whole question will be
placed before the oGyernor. In
past years, bills before the State
islature had called for an ap-

salaries of attendants at the in-
prison guards.

By Dr. Frank L. Tolman
President. The Civil Service Employ-
ees Association, Inc,, and Member
of Employees’ Merit Award Board.
NEW HOME FOR THE ASSOCIATION
T IS SO close to the Christmas season that it seems proper
for each member of the Association to list the attractive
Civil Service Center building at 8 Elk Street, Albany, among
her or his ‘Christmas gifts.
The Association took title to the building last Wednes-
day. Work is progressing on preparing the building for
occupancy as soon as possible.
We plan to make your building really yours from the
day the Association moves in. We here and now invite you
to the open-house sessions that will inaugurate and dedicate
the building. We wish every chapter to use the building for
meetings and social affairs.
We especially invite suggestions for the maximum utili-
zation of the Center. It should now be possible to do many
worthwhile things which, up to the present, have been im-
possible on account of lack of space. Tell us your thoughts
on the most essential next step for the Association in its
wide campaign for the welfare of all the public” employee
members.
The Association now has a local habitation of which it
can well be proud. The building and its name will bear
constant tribute to the great universal idea and ideal of
the merit system. It testifies to the fact that a genuine civil
service can only survive if the public employees assume a
chief role as protagonists, and as defenders of efficient,
democratic administration at all levels and in all depart-
ments of the public service.
A proper name for the building is important. The name
should express the ideal to which the Association is dedi-
cated. It should help to keep the ideal of public service con-
stantly before the legislature, the people, the Governor and
every visitor to Albany. The name should be firmly linked
to a great immortal ideal, not to a passing event or to a
person who will be soon forgotten.
To me the name “Civil Service Center” seems appro-
priate, The name of the Association should, of course, also
appear prominently. I suggest we honor all our past presi-
dents by a commemorative plaque near the main entrance.
On your next visit to Albany, see the “Civil Service
Center,” 8 Elk Street, facing LaFayette Park.

__ CIVIL SERVICE LEADER
SONYBA, Nov. 22—"Civil ser-
vice can’t exist half spoils and
half merit,” Maxwell Lehman told
a packed audience of State work-
ers from Craig Colony. As fea-
tured speaker at the annual mee
ing of the group, The LEADER's
Editor outlined the attacks now
being made upon civil service and
concluded that “no civil service
job is safe when any civil service
Job is in jeopardy.”
“The twin powers that make
for good public service are an
efficient, merit em and strong
employee organization,” he con-
tended.
It’s Indivisible
merit system is indivis
continued. “An attack
where can hurt you ul-
ely.” As an example, he cited
the work of the Hoover Commis-
stop, which {s advocating that
the Federal Civil Service Com-
mission be stripped of its power,
an gp hat recruiting be placed in
the hands of the departments.
“If that happens,” Lehman
warned his audience, “there will
be terrific pressure to do the same
thing in the states and In muni-
cipalities. Fifty years of civil ser-
vice advance will be menaced. If
departments ever get the right
to recruit personnel on their own,
it won't be long before we're back
to the jungle days of spoils and
patronage.”
Largest Meeting
The meeting was the largest
ever assembled under the aegis
of the Craig Colony chapter, Civil
Service Employees Association,
More than 200 attended the event,
which was a combination dinner-
meeting-election-dance.
Mannix Re-Elected
J. Walter Mannix, president of
the chapter, was re-elected un-
animously to the position. Presi-
ding over the event, he conducted
a smooth-running function in Mt.
Morris’ La Delfa hotel. He told
the audience of the chapter’s
work during the year, and lauded
many individuals who had par-
ticipated in the group’s many
activities,
Elected to chapter office with
Mr. Mannix were the following:
John Welch, vice-president; Beu-
Jah Bedford, secretary; Glenn M.
Green, treasurer; delegates to the
CSEA, Sam Cipolla, with Dorothy
Preble as alternate; delegate to
Mental Hygiene Association meet-
ings, Willard Brooks, with Rus-
sel Siraguse as alternate.
Political Jobs
In the course of his speech,
Mr. Lehman cited several cases
of clearly unfit persons who had
been put into their Jobs by poli-
tical leaders. “Obviously,” he
pointed out, this setup is un-
democratic. Because whom do
these hacks: serve? The’ people?
Or the political bosses who got

Gains to Be Made

secure in what has been attained
up till now. Specific gains need
to be made quickly, he insisted,
pointing to rising living costs, the
necessity for a liberalized retire-
ment system, and machinery for
the settlement of disputes between
employees and administration.
Sam Cipolla read resolutions ad-
opted at the annual meeting of
the Civil Service Employees As-

ALBANY, Noy. 22 — The mem-
bership drive of The Civil Service
Employees Association is being
pressed enthusiastically by chap-
ter membership committees, with
aid from Association headquarters
in the form of literature and
posters. Joseph D, Lochner, exec-
utive secretary of the Association,
has done a bang-up job of back-
ing up the membership commit-
tees and many of chem have ex-
pressed appreciation,
The results are considerably
ahead of this time last year, chap-
ters reported to Mr. Lochner. This
salutary result has been achieved,
despite an increase of dues to $5
from $3, as present and prospec-
tive members realize the value of
the services and support they get
and that $5 is small compared to
the dues of other employee organ-
izations.
‘There is no resting on the oars.
Renewals are solicited diligently,
also new memberships.

Membership
When asked how many members
4 Mr, Feldman said
In a release to another
newspaper he gave the figure
3,800, Mr, Rudnick says 2,600. So
far as The LEADER could learn,
there are no membership meet-
no democratic election of
‘s, no financial statement
made available to all “member:
There is a board of directors.
Feldman gives himself the title
“executive secretary and legisla-
tive representative.” He is himself
the most assiduous collector of
funds for the group, and appears
at meetings of other organizations,
attempting to get contributions,
Asked in what manner the funds
are expended, Feldman says the
treasurer has a record of the ex-
penditure of funds,
Officers
Asked whether “officers”
elected, Mr,
that they are not. “Officers are
volunta he told a LEADER re-
porter, who put in time
were
who the officers
are to be?” he was asked,
Feldman was evasive in answer-;
ing this one, at one point giving
the impression that he himself set:
up the board of officers, later add-
ing that a list of prospective offi-
is made up and gone over by
the executive board,
THe LEADER learned that Mr.
Rudnick, the attorney, has given
his time free, He appears to be
sincerely interested in furthering
the plan for extra increments af-
ter ten years of service, Feldman
himself, however, says he drew i
the bill which was submitted to
the Legislature. Rubbing his hands
together and with a big egrin on
his face, Feldman expansively
told The LEADER: “Everything is
handled by myself, Everything is
in my hands. The bill is word for
word as I wrote it.”
Although he is a New York City
employee with the Department of
Finance, Feldman took time off
every Monday and Tuesday for
nine weeks during the legislative to
lobby for his bill in Albany. The
final week he was there for seven
days. He resents the word “lobby-
ing.” He prefers to say he “rep-
resents” the bill.
What Happens to Money
Since the attorney is unpaid
and presumably no one gets any
salary from the income, and there
are 2,600 or more members, what
is the money spent on? Feldman
wouldn't give specific details, but
with a broad gesture hinted that.
in Albany money has to get thrown
around for “parties” to be effec-
tive.
Bill's Chances Low
Although Feldman has been col-
Jecting money for the past three
years, and is now collecting too,
Mr. Rudnick frankly admitted
that “I doubt very much if a bill
can be passed this year,"
Nevertheless, on the mimeo-
graphed handouts which Feidman
distributes, {s written “eventual
success must be assured soon.”
Recruitment is among State,
County and City employees. Litule
headway has been mare with State
employees.
The Stated Purpose
The official purpose of the Civil
Service Career Associaiion is stated
in these words: “Any person who
has served or shall serve in any
salary, grade, title, or service of
Feldman admitted h
KICK IN ONE BUCK? FOR
the State or subdivision thereof
ten years and who has not re-
ceived promotion, all be pro-
moted one salary grade, title, etc.
higher, and shall not be required
to take further examination for
same position.” The bill to ac-
complish this purpose was intro-
duced at the 1948 session of the
State Legislature: by Senator Hal-
pern and Assemblyman McGowan,
It passed the Assembly.
Now a number of bills were in-
troduced last year, and in pr
vious years, to accomplish the
basic purpose, There is strong
sentiment in public employee
circles for additional increments
after 10 or more years of service
—although employees do not usu-
ally demand a promotion to a
higher grade along with the incre-
ment. The regular existing or-
ganizations of employees have
sponsored such bills.
Deemed Unconstitutional
The Halpern-McGowan bill,
, as analyzed by competent
is deemed obviously un-
constitutional. And if this is tru
overlooking everything else, then
all those employees who have been
contributing money to Feldman
and his aides are contributing ta,
a bill that could never become|
| legal, and which at the same time
disperses efforts to unite public
employees behind a really work+
able me re to accomplish the
purpose in a proper manner,
What's Wrong With It?
Why is Feldman’s baby uncon-
stitutional?
The constitution states that
appointments and promotions
shall be made according to “merit.
and fitness, to be ascertained, as
far as practicable, by examina-
tion.” Clearly, the simple fact
that a man has been ten or more
years on the job does not estab-
lish that he is fit to be promoted,
to supervise others, or to take on
additional responsibility. This
would be a stupid principle, as
well as uncenstitutional, to bring
into public service. It woulé mean
that if a person could only hold
on to his job long enough, he
would be certain to get promoted,
2. The bill is ambiguous in sev-
eral respects, and if it were ever
passed it would be subject to so
many interpretations as to be un-
workable,
3. It purports to apply to the
labor class, the exempt class, and
the non-competitive class,
es genera
are no grades and no promotig
If the bill were constitutio
could be applicable only th
positions in the competitive
where there are established
grades.

Employees Strive to Get
Full Hour for Lunch | ey
ALBANY, Noy. 22-—Length of |
the lunch period is the subject of |
considerable debate among em-
ployees of thé State Civil Service
Department these days.
Those particularly concerned
over the present 50-minute lunch |! »
period are employed in depart-
ment offices on the upper floors of
the State Office Building.
Employees contend the present
allotment is insufficient for them
to “punch out, wait for an eleva~
tor, obtain service in any of the
crowded nearby restaurants, and
return to work,”
The minimum requirement most
employees feel is necessary is one | s
hour.
State Steno and Typist
Eligibles to Get 2,000 Jobs
ALBANY, Noy. 22—Between
7,000 and 8,000 persons took the
State's written examination
Stenographer and Typist. The Ex-
aminations Division of the Civil
Service Department is rushing
processing of these papers to en-|
able successful candidates to take |
the scheduled “practical” test on
December 11.
The department hopes to fill
some 2,000 vacancies from result-
ing eligible lists, Shortage of
stenographers and typists in State
service is still termed “¢ritical.”

AE RANE REN
ALBANY, Nov. 22—The DeMar-
co case, involving the question of
whether a salary readjustment ‘in
1947 should have been made re-
troactive, went before the highest
tribunal in the State last week.
On the legal
fore the State Court of Appeals
were John 'T, DeGraff, counsel for
Daniel DeMarco, an employee of
the State Health Department, and
John C, Crary Jr., assistant at-
torney general, representing the
State
battleground be-|s
The issues, which were argued
Nover-ber 18, involved a $3,000,000
appropriation to meet salary re-
adjustments. DeMarco, the plain-
tiff, contended, in behalf of him-
self and 8,500 other employees,
that a salary readjustment in 1947
ould have included the retro-
ve feature.
Mr. DeGraff, who is counsel for
the Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, contended Governor
Dewey and the Legislature pro-
vided a $3,000,000 appropriation
to meet the pay revision but that
sBESRAN ce) STAR OMA AS ORE A HIRE ER CN RS
De Marco Case Is Argued
Before Court of Appeals
only $200,000 was allocated for
actual spending.
According to briefs filed in the
case, the answer rests in the
final interpretation of the law
and what it means.
A highly technical case, it has
been argued in the lower courts.
Supreme Court Justice Francis
Bergan has ruled in favor of De-
Marco and he was sustained by
Unanimous vote of the Appellate
Division.
Court of Appeals decision is now
awaited.

Resolution in Council Asks
Prompt Cut in Provisionals
By H. J. BERNARD
A resolution requesting Mayor
William O'Dwyer, the NYC Civil
Service Commission and the Budg-
et Director to reduce promptly the
“army” of provisionals was intro-
duced in the Council by two mi-
nority members. The Council re-
ferred the resolution to its com-
mittee on civil employees.
The resolution followed exclusive
publication in last week's LEADER
of a digest of the Commission's
own report.on the number of pro-
visionals, who are employees who
passed no examination and who
fill positions pending permanent
appointments from eligible lists.
The figures staggered many, as
they showed a total, as of October
15 last of 26,487 provisionals, of
whom 10,629 were in the Board of
‘Transportation.
The provisiénal problem grew
acute because of the war, during
which examinations were practi-
cally suspended, both because of
paucity of recruitment material
and in justice to men and women
in the armed forces, until they
were back to join the others in
taking the examinations.
Mere Than 1,000 in Some Titles
The tally shows that there are
five titles in which there were,
as of the date of compilation, a
thousand or more provisionals:
Clerk, Grade 2—1,766*(list is soon
to be published).
Laborer—1,672 (list to be pub-
lished as soon as salary is made
uniform).
Sanitation Man (B)—1,731 ap-
pointments are being made, 700
the other day, 1,000 or so more
expected December 15).
Railroad Clerk, 1,661 (first certifi-
cations from list have just gone
out).
Surface Line’ Operator (certifica-
tions are being made regularly,
declinations run high),
The Commission strives for ac-
tion on titles in which there are
the greatest number of provi-
sionals,
Dispute Over Old Figures
'The resolution introduced in the
Council, by Minority Leader Gene-
vieve B. Earle, of Brooklyn, and
Stanley M, Isaacs, of Manhattan,
both Republicans, compared the
total of about 26,000 provisionals
with only 9,000 during the war
years, but the provisional job-
holders under the LaGuardia ad-
ministration, countered Majority
Leader Joseph T. Sharkey, were
around 16,000, not 9,000.
Mr. Sharkey made public a let-
ter from Joseph A, McNamara,
President of the SS reset stat-
ing that the Commiésion is mak-
ing every effort to reduce the
number of provisionals,
Big Reduction in Few Months
Referring to the eligible lists
promulgated or about to
promulgated, for displacing pro~
visionals_ in titles where they
abound, President McNamara said
in the letter:
“You will see a marked decline
in the number of provisionals em~-
ployed by the city in the next few
months.”
Full information on the num-
ber and distribution of provisionals
was supplied to Mrs. Earle by the
Commission at her request, said
President McNamara.
The letter also stated that vet-
eran preference claims and the
need for special military examina-
tions, for those entitled to them,
Wallander Awaits List
For Sergeant
The Sergeant (P.D.) eligible list
will be issued by the end of the
month, President_Joseph A. Mec-
Namara, of the NYC Civil Service
Commission said, and sooner, if
the recomputation of scores is
completed earlier, All the candi-
dates’ papers had to be re-rated,
as the result of a court decision
on the key answers. Some who
otherwise would not have passed
will become eligible, while about
500 who were on the list as orig-
inally issued will be wiped off.
The Commission will hold a
special meeting, if the recompu-
tation is completed this week, and
both publish and promulgate the
list at the same time. The list. is
expected to contain about 1,300
names, instead of the original
1,852. The additions will be a
relatively small percentage, com-
pared to the deletions.
Another Court Suit
Another court suit in court,
in which the Sergeant exam key
answer is attacked, awaits deci-
sion, haying been argued last
week. Supreme Court Justice
Bernard Botein refused to issue a
stay, which wot have held up
the list still longer. The case is
that of Gruner vs. McNamara,

On Leaves

WASHINGTON, Noy. 22—Stan-
dardization of annual leave and
sick leave has been proposed to
the Advisory Council that is aid-
ing the staff of the Senate Civil
Service Committee. Employee or-
ganizations are expected to sup-
|port some recommendations for
changes, but it is believed that
their fight against any reduction in
present leave provisions has been
very effective. The chief critic
| of abuse of leaves, and proponent
of reduction, Senator Joseph H
| Ball, GR., Minn.) was defeated in
|the November election.
Some Proposed Changes
| The new Congress will assem-
|ble without any undercurrent of
opposition to the present leave
provisions. At all hazards a
strong fight will be made by em-
ployee groups against any re-
duction, this being one ‘topic on

which they are solidly united.
An effort will be made to wipe
out the difference now existing
in regard to leaves for temporary,
as against permanent, employees,
and against the lesser allowances,
also to part-time workers and em-
ployees who work abroad for the
U. & government. Some leeway
to allow for travel time for work-
ers employed abroad, when ‘they
return home for vacation or other-
wise, has been proposed, also.
A plan for a graduated scale of
sick leave, with greater time al-
lowed for greater length of ser-
vice, has been suggested, also,
but if this is to be at any expense
to the younger element, who con-
stitute the majority of U. S. em-
ployees, it is not expected to
have much chance of success.
The present annual leave is 26
days, with accumulation up to 60
days permitted.

The three Senators are mem-
bers of a subcommittee of the
Senate Civil Service Committee
which plans to open hearings in
mid-December on a bill to raise
government executives’ salaries.
‘The U, S. Civil Service Com-

Its Tenth Anniversary
Ace Secretarial School, 226 West
42nd Street, Manhattan, celebrates
10 years of service to Stenogra-
phers and Typists, successfully
preparing them to pass the Civil
Service performance tests of Fed-
eral, State and city Governments.
More than 12,000 students have
taken brush-up and dictation
[courses at the school; more than
50 percent of these students pre-
pared for and successfully passed
the examinations.
When the school opened 10
ears ago, it had only oné class-
room accommodating 40 students,
Now the school occupies a whole
floor and can accommodate 200
students at each session. This
growth is due to the diligent work
of Sarah Goldstein and William
Seymour, owners of and teachers
at the school.
The material dictated in the
speed development classes is taken
from past tests given by the
branches of government. ‘These
tests are augmented by similar

Pay Discrepancies
Hold Up
For Labo
Pay discrepancies are holding
up the promulgation of the La-
borer eligible list, The NYC Civil
Service Commission has requested
Budget Director Thomas J. Pat-
terson to decide what shall be the
entrance pay, in the hope that it
could be made uniform. Otherwise
the departments offering less pay
would be hard-up to get Laborers.
mples of salary paid show
that provisionals who have been
hired during the last six months
or so at $1,260 base pay, $660
bonus, total 1,920, and that pre-
y appointed provisionals and
now get $1,380 040). If
one goes back more than a year
for appointment dates, one finds
provisionals and others now re-
ceive $1,450 ($2,040), because they
got the $250 increase in permanent
pay, even those impermanent jobs.
Variation Considerable
As soon as the list is promul-
gated, certification of eligibles
would be made and within 30 days
the provisionals would have to
yield their places to eligibl
Quite a number of the provisional
however, are among the eligibles,
the List
rer Jobs
but would have to be within reach
for certificatton—high enough up
on the list—if they are to retain
their jobs without a gap, while
attaining permanency.
The Borough Presidents’ offices
have been appointing new La-
borers at higher salaries; since
jJuly 1, at $1,500 ($2,160). Those
Laborers on the job for a consid-
erable period prior thereto get
$1,750 ($2,410), again reflecting
the $250 addition.
In the departments increments
were given,
The Commission is anxious to
have the discrepancy straightened
out.
1,672 Provisionals
The Commission, in its report
on the total number of provisionals
in NYC, listed 1,672 under the La-
borer title. There are 26,487 pro-
visionals all told, in all titles, in-
cluding war duration provisionals.
‘The Commission has until Decem-
ber 31 next to get examinations
going, to fill these places perma-
nently with eligibles, and six
is, | months thereafter within which to
fulfill the requirements absolutely.
Fire Dept. Holy Name Society
Attends Memorial Mass
The annual memorial Mass of
the Fire Department Holy Name
Society, Manhattan, Bronx and
Richmond, was celebrated in St.
Ann's Roman Catholic Church,
Manhattan. Special prayers were
offered for the deceased mefhbers
of the department, Several hun-
dred members of the Society, to-
gether with relatives and friends
of the deceased, attended.
The Rev. Joseph A. Doyle, de-
partment Chaplain, was the cele-
brant of the Mass, assisted by
The Rev. Daniel Fant, pastor of
St. Ann’s, and the Rev. Joseph
Smyth. The Rev. Merritt Yeager,
department chaplain, also assisted
at the Mass.

ent in the sanctuary, Both are

ciety in their annual campaign to
provide a Christmas party for the
foundling children of all faiths
who are at the orphanage, The
affair will be held at the Found-
ling Home, East 68th Street, Man_
hattan, on Sunday, December 19.
The Rev. Joseph McCowan, S.J.,
chaplain of the Goldwater Memor-
ial Hospital on Welfare Island,
who -has worked with the Holy
Name Society in providing out-
ings for the chronic patients, as-
sisted at Mass. The department
Glee Club, under the direction of
Acting Lieut. Paul Griffard, pro-
vided the musical program. All
|the acolytes serving on the altar
were uniformed Firemen of the
Sociéty. Firemen Edward Fox was
master of ceremonies.
