Governor Lauds
CSEA; Urges Less
Rigid Civil Service

ALBANY, March 1—In a wide-
ranging discussion of employee
problems, Governor Thomas E.
Dewey Inst Wednesday made these|
points:

1, State employees would soon
be able to enter the Blue Cross-
Blue Shield hospital and medical
plans under arrangements now be-
ing consummated.

2, The new wage plan repr
sents the first really thorough-go-|
ing classification in State history.

3. The next great advance in|
retirement legislation is to gain
for public employees the advant-
ages of Social Security plus the
advantages in the State Retire-
ment System.

4. Civil service must become less
rigid, less formalized, permitting|
the best possible use of personnel
and widening of opportunity, The|
reliance upon academic degrees
for civil service is not, the Gover-
nor felt, a good thing. “We are the
worst degree-rich eountry in the
world,” he said.

Negotiation or Conference

In what was considered one of
the best addresses he had made,
the Governor spoke for 45 minutes
before an audience consisting of
delegates to the 44th annual din-
the Civil Service Employees
ion, Present too was a large
coterie of legislators, State execu-
tives, and members of the Gover-
nor’s own retinue. Mr. Dewey's
speech bristied with bon mots and
good humor. At the same time, he
made his points clearly and sharp-
ly. He stated his conviction that
employee organization is a good
thing, and specifically lauded the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion. In describing relations be-
tween management and employees,
he said: “I can't say negotiations
because government eannot nego-
tiate. But we can confer, we can
listen.”

New Wage Plan
‘The Governor stated that im
1942, the average State pay was
$1,700 a year. Now, he added, it is
$3,700; and when the new sched-

ules go into effect, it will be $3,954
“No industry in America can show
& comparable change in twelve
years,” he asserted, The recently-
announced wage plan began with
a letter which had been sent te
the Governor by Jesse B. McFar-
jand, former Association president,
the Governor told the assemblage,
He gave credit to “50 to 100 peo
ple” who worked on the plan, but
singled out Budget Director T,
Norman Hurd for special plaudite,

Next Great Objective

In discussing the possibilities ef
integrating the State Retirement
System with Social Security, the
Governor said he foresaw that the
day must come when the 80,008
State employees can take advan-
tage of the present system, and
also get for their survivors the
benefits of Social Security in case
of death. He called this “the next
great objective.” That is why “we
have breathed new life into the
Pension Commission.” The Gov-
ernor pointed out the difficulties
involved if the benefits of Sociel
Security are to be gained, but ad-
mitted that the way had not yet
been found te accomplish the
objective.

Lauds CSEA

In a tribute to the Civil Service
Employees Association, Mr. Dewey
said: "I believe that employees
ought to be represented by the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion — and that you will not be
crowded out by racketeers.” He
fet that the strength of employes
organization Mes in the fact thas
representation is from within the
service.

His Views ef Civil Service

Civil service is not something mm
which you pass an exam; it is not
®& guarantee against the best and
the worst, nor a source of medio~
erity — but rather an opportunity
for service and satisfaction, the
Governor pointed out. “Civil serw
ice was invented as a protection
against the spoils system. Bus
we're 70 years beyond that.” He
told of his experiences abroad te
demonstrate the greater flexibility
of civil service there. He explained
that in Oxford, many of the pre-
fessors do not have more thas
bachelor degrees. “They pay you
for what you are, not how mang
degrees you have.” (See Page #.

by Dr, John Punnett Peters, pro=
fessor of medicine at Yale Uni-

on the grounds of “reasonable
doubt” of loyalty.

Dr. Peters charged that he had
been deprived of @ fair hearing
and the right to cross-examine
witnesses and that the charges
against him were not clearly
stated.

Accusers complained that Dr,
Peters had been a member of the
Communist Party, had sponsored
petitions, and had been affiliated
with persons and organizations
sympathetic to communism,

In 1949 and 1952 the U. S. Civil

Employee's Guide to New State Salary Plan

Here is a description of the
mew salary plan for State em-
ployees. It constitutes a compli-
eated plan, and will not affect all
employees in the same way, There-
fore every State aide should read
the information below carefully.

‘The LEADER will be glad to
receive questions from employees,
and to answer those of general
Interest in forthcoming issues.

The newly-proposed salary
plan consists essentially of four

(a) A freeze-in, making perma-
ment the 17.3 percent average
emergency compensation above
base statutory rates which has
been temporary up to and in-
@luding this year.

(b) Establishment of a modern
pay plan which has fewer grades.

(e) Correction of — inequities
within the compensation plan,
providing the equivalent of up-
ward reallocation for about half
@f the State's employees.

(d) Establishment of an “extra
step” on each salary grade for
employees who have been at the
maximum for five years.

‘The New Salary Plan

The new salary plan (the “R”
Schedule) has 38 grades; the
present pian has 55 grades, The
ew one is entirely systematic,
with a 5 percent difference be~
tween the maximums of success-
five grades, so that it can be
changed without upsetting in-
ternal relationships.

In the new plan, the width of
salary ranges from minimum to
maximum narrows systematically
from 31 percent to 18 percent. The
The relationship between suc-
eesssive minimums is nearly con-
tant, ranging around 5.2 percent,
Increments increase systematically
with each higher grade, and each
increment is in systematic rela-
tionship to the grade maximum,

Successive percentage changes
fm the current plan have so dis-
torted it that annual increments
under it range irregularly from
7.5 percent to 2.9 percent; differ-
ences between successive mini-
mums range irregularly from 2.4

‘cent to 6.5 percent; differences

ween successive maximums skip
unsystematically from 2.4 percent
te 68 percent, and the width of
salary ranges wavers between 37
percent and 16 percent, The Ad-
ministration maintains that the
ide range for G-2 ($2,180-$2,985,
86.9 percent from bottom to top)
means that the State either has
to underpay at the hiring rate or
overpay at the maximum, because
the range of 37 percent is wider
than typical ranges of other lead-
ing employers

The increment — annual raise

held necessary to reduce the ex-
treme width of the salary ranges
in this part of the old schedule.
However, the new normal maxi-
all higher than the old
. and in addition an
extra step has been added at the
top_of each grade,

‘The new plan has rounded
rates, easier to work with and to
remember. It combines the former
G and LG schedules, permitting
the allocation of all graded posi-
tions to the same schedule so that
the principle of equal pay for
equal work may be extended to
situations where the present law
prevents correction of inequities,
‘The lowest rate in the new sched-
ule is $2,100 while the present LG
minimum is $2,044, thus raising
the State minimum = statutory
rate.

Extra Step Increment

The new salary schedule pro-
vides for the payment of an addi-
tional increment beyond the nor-
mal maximum of each grade to
employees who have rendered
continuous and satisfactory ser-
vice for five years after having
attained the normal maximum

ay of their grades. In the New
Pork State service, this represents
an entirely new feature in the
compensation of employees. It
provides some additional incen-
tive and monetary reward for the
large number of State employees
who find it impossible to achieve
promotions within the five year
period after they have reached
their normal grade maximums,
Studies have shown that in many
occupational fields and in a large
number of the State's promotional
units, the opportunities for pro-
motion are limited with the result
that many deserving employees
who attain standing on promotion
Usts cannot be reached for pro-
motion.

OUTLINE OF FEATURES
When and How?

The new plan would be install-
ed on October 1, 1954. Raises
would be retroactive to April 1,
1954, Present emergency compen-
sation would be continued with-
out change until the new plan is
installed. Increments would be
paid as due under present laws for
the year beginning April 1, 1954,
and under the new plan for fu-
ture years, The payment of the

to approval by the Director of the
Budget, Over 96 percent of all
positions would receive increases,
and about half would also be rals-
ed to a higher grade. About 2 to
4 percent would be allocated to
new grades providing no increase.
This last group includes many
employees now over their statu-
tory maximums who have recelv-
ed the benefit of all previous gen-
eral increases,

“Ungraded = Positions’’ — em-
ployees in the exempt class, em-
loyees of the Legislature and
judiciary, and those paid under
laws other than the G and LG
schedules of the Civil Service Law
—would receive appropriate ad-
justments after further study.
Correction of possible inequities
in compensation of ungraded posi-
tions is outside the scope of the
current year's study.

Why Won't Everybody Get the
Same Amount of Raise?

Pirst, the new schedule is sys-
tematic — the present one isn’t.
You can’t change from an irregu-
lar schedule to an orderly sched-
ule without changing some rates
more than others. And, second,
the findings of the internal align-
ment study and of the salary sur-
veys provide a very firm factual
basis for decision that some oc-
cupational groups and classifica-
tions should get more of a raise
than others.

What Groups Would Get the
Biggest Raises?

‘The biggest raises under the
new plan would go to those groups
where State pay is below the
worth of the job as measured by
comparison with other State jobs
and with outside salary data, Half
of the State service falls in this
group. Among the most populous
groups which would be reallocated
upward are psychiatric attendants
at all levels, stenographers, and
skited and semi-skilled crafts-
men.

What Groups Would Not Get
Anything?

Employees who are over the
statutory maximum of their pres-
ent grade and who remain over
the maximum of their new grade
would neither lose nor gain in
salary, except as they may qualify
for the extra step rate,

About 3 percent of State posi-
tions would not be raised under
tentative decisions
been made at this sta;
study. However, each of these
cases is to be reviewed in great
detail during the coming months,
and any specific naming of the
groups concerned would be pre-
mature. The number who get
nothing may be less than 3 per-
cent after final decisions are
reached.

Safeguards?

1. Present employees are pro-
tected against any cut in pay and
would be advanced to the maxi-
mum of their present grade by
annual increments as earned, in
instances where the new maxi-
mum is lower than the present
maximum.

2. Appropriate appeal and re-
view procedures would be estab-
lished, and adjustments resulting
from appeals would be made re-
troactive to April 1, 1954.

3, Current laws limit the rab
which =n employee can get on
Feallocat'nn +» cne Increment per
year, Ia allocation to the new
plan, this limit would be raised so
that two new increments will be
the largest raise (roughly 10 per-
cent) which an employee can get
this year. This limit doesn’t ap-
ply in cases where a bigger raise
is necessary to bring workers up
to the minimum of their new
grades, Except as thus limited, an
employee is to be paid at the rate
within the new range which cor-
responds to the rate attained
April 1, 1954 under the present
pian. However, any amount de-
‘erred by this limitation will be
paid in the next succeeding year,
subject to the same limitation. In
this fashion, the whole cost of this

long range corrective program
need not be met in the 1954-55
fiscal year,

Costs?

Total increases averaging 6.4
percent over present gross sala-
ries, costing the State $15,500,000,
and averaging about $245 per
employee. For example, an attend-
ant at the maximum would get
an increase of 6.9 percent, and an
attendant who has been at the
maximum for five years and is
eligible for the extra step rate
would get 11.8 percent,

(In terms of base pay or past
raises the average increase ts 1.5

reent which, when added to the

‘7.3 percent present emergency
compensation, equals a 24.8 per-
cent increase over present statu-

tory base rates, Except for this

In New Pay Schedules

General Rules

1) Increases for the fiscal year commencing April 1, 1954 wif
be limited to the sum of two new increments, The same rule will
apply in 1955-56.
2) This limitation does not affect overtime compensation,
3) Increases necessary to bring employees to the new grade
minimum shall not be so limited,
4) An increment paid on April 1, 1954 is considered as a part
of this adjustment.
5) Upon installation of the plan, subject to the limitations above
expressed, an employee shall be paid at the rate in the new grade
which corresponds to the rate in the old grade which he received
on April 1, 1954.
6) Upon installation of the plan the extra step increase will be
paid to employees who have been at the maximum of their grade since
April 1, 1949, subject to the limitations expressed above,

Examples

A. Assume that a grade 2 employee entered service on Dee.
1953. Since his employment commenced after Oct. 1, 1953, he is
entitled to receive an increment on April 1, 1954. Assume that his
position is allocated on Oct, 1, 1954 (effective 4/1/54) to new grade 3,
He gets an increase of $140 (see Table I) per annum to bring his
salary to the new grade 3 minimum. If his position had been re=
allocated upward to new grade 4 (see Table II) he would have beem
increased by $270 to the minimum of new grade 4.

B. Assume that this employee had started his service on Sept. ly
1953. On April 1, 1954, he will get an increment of $164 going to the
2nd step of G-2 viz, $2,344 (Table I above), On Oct. 1, 1954 (effective
4/1/54) he is brought to the 2nd step of new grade 3—$2,464, an
increase of $120 giving him a total increase for fiscal 54-55 of $284,

C, A grade 2 employee who is now at the 2nd year step ($2,344)
will receive an Increment of $161 on April 1, 1954 to bring him to the
3rd year step of $2.505. Assume that on Oct, 1, 1954 (effective 4/1/54)
his position is reallocated upward to new grade 4. The 3rd year step
of the new grade is $2,746 (see Table Il) or $241 more than he is
then receiving. The largest increase he can get in 1954-55 is $296,
Deducting from that the $161 increment he got on 4/1/54 leaves hima
with a net additional increase of $135, The balance of $106 will be
deferred until 4/1/55 which when added to the increment of $148
he will then receive will bring a raise of $254 next year.

D. Assume that a grade 2 employee is now receiving $2,637. He
will get a $160 increment on 4/1/54 raising his rate to $2,797, which
is between the 4th and 5th steps of G-2, Assume that this position
is reallocated upward to new grade 4 orr Oct. 1, 1954 (effective 4/1/54).
His maximum amount of increase for 1954-55 is $296, Deducting the
$160 he will get on 4/1/54 he gets an additional $136, raising his rate
to $2,933 with $81 deferred until next year. That added to his next
year’s increment of $148 will bring an increase of $229 and a new
rate of $3,162 on 4/1/55,

Delegates Confirm Action
Of CSEA Board Endorsing
New State Salary Plan

‘Page Three

ALBANY, March 1—More than
400 delegates of the Civil Service
Employees Association, represent-
ing 58,000 employees, unanimously
confirmed the action of the Board
of Directors in endorsing the new
State salary plan. Dozens of ques-
tions about the plan were asked
by the delegates, with answers
provided by a battery consisting
of the CSEA salary committee and
legal staff.

‘The Board of Directors had pre-
viously issued a statement (appear-
ing in last week's LEADER) which
made these points:

1, The new scientific salary
schedule with a reduced number
of grades fulfills a long-time ob-
jective of the Association,

2. Establishment of the sixth
salary increment represents adop-
tion of a valuable longevity prin-

ciple advocated by the Association
for many years,

3. Freeze-in of the emergency
bonuses removes a barrier to sound:
salary administration,

4. The Association's studies show
definitely the need for a 12 per-
cent over-all pay increase. While
the Association wholeheartedly en
dorses the principles and objeo«
tives of the new plan, it will con-
tinue to maintain with all the
intensity at its command that the
fie ge appropriation is insuff-
client.

5. Moreover, the full extent of
the suggested reallocations for in-
dividual positions is not now
known, If the contemplated ad-
justments are found to be insuffl-
clent, the Association will vigor-
ously continue its efforts to insure
fair, adequate raise for every eme
ployee.

Taylor Gives Views on Employment

ALBANY, March 1 — Oscar M.
Maylor, new president of the State
Civil Service Commission, made
fhis first appearance before State
employees at the annual dinner of
the Civil Service Employees Asso-
@ation on February 24.

Mr, Taylor was introduced by
Governor Dewey, who lauded him
as the best man he could find in
the United States for the Job. Mr,
Taylor spoke briefly, citing among
hails views these:

1, A public employee should
earn pay consistent with that paid
for the same type of work in pri-
wate industry.

2. Working conditions should be
comparable to those who enjoyed
in outside industry.

The taxpayer is the employer,
Mr, Taylor asserted, and he should

have a feeling of satisfaction
from the courtesy and service he
receives, He will then be a “more
willing taxpayer” when it comes
to such things as pay raises,

Pay Raise Is

ALBANY, March 1—An agenda
of 30 grievances from various New
York State prisons were submitted
to Correction Commissioner Ed-
ward J, Donovan by representa.
tives of employees in the institu-
tions. The grievances formed part
of the discussions on employee
conditions that took place between
the Commissioner and the Correc-
tion Officers Conference on Mon-
day, February 22.

Few of the grievances were set-
tled, most of them being referred
back to the institutions for final
determination, The attitude of the
employees is stated in these words
by one of their officers: “This is
wishful thinking; these problems
could not be solved at the institu-
tions before; they have been re-
submitted from time to time and
are still at loose ends.”

Officers Re-elected

‘The Conference re-elected tts
officers for the coming year. They
are; John Mullaney, Auburn, pres-
ident; Cornelius Rush, Greenhay-
en, vice-president; Edna Ricklefs,

Dewey Wants to Know
If Any State Employees
Own Harness Track Stock

ALBANY, March 1—Governor

Thomas E. Dewey wrote to Bruce
Bromley, chairman of the More-
land Act Commission investigat-

cially he might encourage the em«
ployee to sell the stock on a ques~
tion of propriety, because of the
State's own regulation of and par=
ticipation in track income of @
quasi-monopoly,

Mr, Bromley had announced
that the Commission was about te
hold public hearings at which
every owner of one share or more
of stock in any of the seven tracka
would be called as witness, This
prompted the Governor to ask for
the names of the State officials om
employees, if any, under his juris«
diction who have a such owners
ship.

The Governor revealed his move
at @ press conference. He freely
admitted there was nothing wrong
with owning stock in @ harnesse
racing track, and added, “I just
want to know.” He explained thag
his request concerned only those
persons on the State payroll over
whom he has power, when asked
why he did not include members
of the State Legislature, He ex
plained his request does not in«
cluded political party leaders of
officials, as he understood that
every such leader or official, of
public officer, who owned any such
stock already has been questioned
by the Commission, He added he
was interested only in the 80,008
employees of the executive branch
of the State government,

“Regardless of the amount, 3
am particularly interested to know
if any member of my administra~
tion, that is, any officer or em
ployee who serves in the State
government by my appointment,
owns any such stock,” the Govers
nor wrote Mr. Bromley.

“In addition, I should ike te

know whether any others of the
0,000 employees of the adminis«
trative branch of the State gor-
ernment is such an owner, I trus®
that this will not add te your bur~
dens, but I will be grateful indeed
if you find it possible to make thie
information available.”

He admitted he had no know
edge of any stock ownership by
any State employee.

He added, that since an issue
had been raised about stock own-
ership, It would be interesting te
find out whether State employees
had any.

Overhauling NYC
Civil Service Commission

he New York City administration has now acted on

what Mayor Wagner has considered a number 1 ob-
fective — reorganization of the Municipal Civil Service
Commission.

The bill is drafted simply and to the point. It sets up
a Department of Personnel in place of the present Civil
Bervice Commission. Heading the department will be a
personnel director who is also chairman of the three-man
Commission. The bipartisan nature of the Commission is
retained; no more than two of its members may belong to
ene political party. This effectively continues existing safe-
guards against usurpation of pqwer by a single political
party. The personnel director “runs” the department —
but the Commission as a whole makes the rules, hears ap-
peals, and can put on the brakes if that should be neces-
wary.

The bill makes provision for classification and wage
plans; for aid in developing personnel divisions in City
agencies, in-service training and other advances.

The measure avoids setting up what has been de-
scribed as a civil service “czar.” Rather than the formula
advised by the Josephs Commission, it follows the com-
promise plan that was originally developed at the State
level, and which appears to be more acceptable to the em-
ployees. The essential structures of the State and of the
City Commissions would be similar.

The bill should be passed swiftly, so that the work
of setting the reorganized agency in motion can begin.

U.S. Commission Needs
U.S. Marshal Behind It
eterans want U. S. veteran preference law benefits to

Wican as they are, except for slight modifications
practice requires, and not whittled down on the argument
that the merit system is suffering because that law helps
veterans to get hired and helps protect them against
getting fired.

In line with such position they are backing a bill in
Congress that provides reinstatement orders issued by the
U. S. Civil Service Commission — usually involving veter-
ans —can be backed up by court orders, and end the ease
with which departments may circumvent a Commission re-
fmstatement order simply by disobedience.

In New York State and its localities, the State or local
Civil Service Commission is nearly always on the same side
as the department, is often party to a reinstatement suit,
and the issue seldom relates to veteran preference, In the
U.S. jurisdiction not only may the Commission be on the
game side as the employee, but in a reinstatement suit
must keep hands off.

Veteran groups want a U. S. law to authorize the
(Commission to get legal counsel, outside the Department
ef Justice. Not only does the Department of Justice habitu-
ally represent the recalcitrant department as counsel, but
pometimes is that very department itself.

The Commission must not be hamstrung, The loop-
hole whereby the Commission’s reinstatement orders may
be rendered academic merely by ignoring them must be
@losed, regardless of whether the Veteran Preference Law
fiself is modified. The bill should be enacted.

Looking Inside

By H. J. BERNARD

AMID the general incentives for public employees is the longevity
increment. This improvement would aid employees in jobs in whicl
pay is dead-ended. They are at the top of the grade, and either tee
few or no promotion opportunities are provided, although the em-
ployees are doing a good job.

‘United States plans are proposed, and bills introduced to effeo~
tuate them, but nothing has ecome of them yet. The U. S. Civil
Service Commission favors increments for employees in grades GS-11
through GS-15, ($5,940-$6.940; $7,040-$8,040; $8,260-$9,360; $9,600-
$10,600; $10,800-$11,800, for the ascending grades). This may seem
more like neglect than attention, but it may be a concession te
practicality. A full-scale plan would be costly, and with a general
salary increase as the main objective, Involving considerable eosty
gradual approach to other goals is sensible,

If the Federal plan is enacted it will give an impetus to the ex-
tension of the principle to other grades, and set an example for
State and local jurisdictions, just as New York State's sixth increment,
for longevity, will set other States thinking. New York is all set te
adopt such a law,

Applying benefit to U. S. grades in which the employees are only
& small percentage of the total, limits the cost and also applies the
principle of rewarding groups who have received relatively little
salary benefit. Flat raises or percentage plans under which those
in the higher brackets received the smaller percentage, reduce pay
spreads between jobs. A scientific pay plan provides salaries com-
mensurate with duties and responsibilities, and with comparable pay
based on comparable examinations. If flat increases became the in=
violable rule, the spread between the supervisor and the supervised
would ultimately become ridiculously thin. This contracting process
has probably nearly reached its permissible limit. It is sheer demagogy
to neglect the higher paid because they are numerically small, It also
makes employees in lower paying titles lower their sights, because
the higher paying positions are their goals and incentives. To the
extent that the spread disappears, so incentive disappears, too. That
does not mean the lowest grades should be neglected.

There is no reason to find fault with the Commission's effort
just because of limited scope of its first effort. The final possibilities
are not limited.

The Federal bill requires an employee to be at the top of his
grade at least three years for each successive seniority increment, up
to a total of three increments, their monetary value equalling that
of an in-grade or step-up promotion. For grades GS-11 to 14, inclu-
sive, the amount is $200 a year; GS-15, $250.

GENERAL PAY INCREASES, curing of special inequities and
reclassifications, must finally wind up in a single end result, Each
employee receives only one salary, not two or more salaries. A general
pay raise may be taken as recognition of living costs, but a reclassifi-
cation deals with the relative value of the services to the employer
the relationship of grades, and establishes the promotion “ladder,”

AN EMPLOYEE of private industry hesitated to take a NYC job
because his employer was contributing in full toward his pension,
whereas a NYC employee has to make annuity contributions from
salary. When computation showed that the private industry pension

| would be $100 a month at maximum, and the public pension maximum

pays 1 per cent of final average salary, multiplied by the number of
years of member-service, which produces 25 per cent pension in 25
years, more or le proportionately, for longer or shorter service,
Add the annulty, 6 ced by the employee-paid contributions, and

the retirement allowance can be double the pension, By purchasing
| additional annuity, the retirement allowance is almost sure to be a&
least double the pension. By additional years of service even retires
ment at full pay is within reach.

‘The full-pay possibility is greater for those who became members
of the NYC Employees Retirement System on or before June 30, 1947,
for the interest rate paid on their annuity savings account is 4 per
cent. Those who joined subsequently get 3 per cent, It makes quite @
difference, in the final reckoning of the annuity, particularly because
of the compound interest.

Assuming the best conditions, age 63 would not be an unlikely
ene for full-pay retirement, after 35 years of service,

AN ODD PROBLEM about the correctness of an answer arose
fm the NYC patrolman exam held recently. Certain definitions were
to be matched with an equa) number of optional answers. One of the
definitions was “a false statement under oath.” The tentative key
answer gives “perjury” as the correct answer,

Tt is true that a false statement under oath comes much nearer
to the idea of perjury than any other option, but is it all right for
the Municipal Civil Service Commission to be authority for the false
statement that in Jaw perjury consists of only making a false state-
ment under oath? Suppose a fellow writes # girl a letter, saying hee
in love with her, (but isn't), takes it to a notary, and swears to M,
then matls her the sworn statement, Perjury? Maybe in the moving

Southern Co

Constitution

ALBANY, March 1—The South-

auditorium at Civil Service Em-
ployees Association headquarters,
opposed the admission of County
chapters into the five Association
Conferences, now somposed of
State Division chapters.

The Southern group felt ‘that
the County chapters should have
the opportunity of creating their
own Conferences, because their
probiems are different and the so-
lutions are obtainable from differ-
ent sources, Instead of looking to
the State Legistature for statutory
salary improvements, they turn to
the Board of Supervisors or Com-
mon Council, and are not included
in the classification and realloca-
tion powers of the State Civil Ser-
vice Commission. When a pro-
Posed amendment to the Associa-
tion constitution came up at the
delegates meeting, later the same
day, to allow County chapters to
Join present Conferences, it was
tabled.

as toastmaster at the annual din-
ner of the Civil Service Employees

Mental Hygiene Benefits
Sought by Reallocation

ALBANY, March 1 — A a two grades, except that tt i

meeting by the Mental Hygiene
Employees Association, held at the
Hotel Wellington, urged the ne-
cessity of proper pay differentials
being established by administra-
tive upward reallocation after the
new salary schedule goes into ef-
fect on April 1. This schedule,
which will provide increases under
an entirely new plan, payable
1, in lump
sum, will raise attendants from
the present G-2 to the new R-4,
R being the designation of the new
grades. Thus, the effect is the same
as that of an upward reallocation

done by statute.

Speakers pointed out the dif-
ferences in duties and responsi-
bilities, now recognized in the law,
and which would not be carried
out under the new pay plan, hence
the spread would have to be re-
instituted to reflect difference in
duties and responsibilities.

The meeting was given to un-

derstand that Mental Hygiene em-|

Ployees whl benefit most from the
upward reallocations.

Be Doubled to Year's Pay

ALBANY, March 1 — In a det-
ter to Comptroller J. Raymond
McGovern, John F. Powers, presi-
dent, Civil Service Employees

benefits. He wrote:

“I would like to bring your per-
sonal attention to one element of
our Employees’ Retirement System
which In my opinion, requires ad-
justment, i.¢. Ordinary Death
Benefit.

“At the present time im the
event of death while im active
service, one month's average
salary for each year of service
not exceeding six months is al-
lowed. This benefit was first in-

systems (Teachers’ Retirement

their plans to provide a maximum
death benefit of twelve months’
salary. A more appropriate death
benefit is vital since State em-

ees do not come under the

‘al hog Act and depend-
ent coverage is lacking, Previous
estimates show that the cost of
Increasing the present maximum
death benefit from six months to
twelve months would be around
one-half of 1 per cent of payroll
for current services.

More Training Courses
Needed, Says Lawton

LANGLEY FIELD, Va, March
1 — Wider use by the Government
of employee training methods
which have proved their value
in private industry is a “must”
item in « true Federal career ser-
vice, U. 8. Civil Service Com-
missioner Frederick J. Lawton
told the graduating apprentice
class of the Langley Aeronautical
Laboratory, National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics,

‘oof Expected

“There are many good training
programs in the Government to-
day,” he said, “but the scope of
training varies widely among
agencies, There are specific pro-
visions for training in certain
agencies or parts of agencies, for
certain kinds of work, for vet-
erans, and so on. This is partly
due to the variety of legislative
provisions, some permissive and
some restrictive, that appear in
appropriation acts and in separate
Inws affecting individual agen-
cles.”

He said the Government needs

resenting sergeant’s salary for a
year,

® unified genera! policy on train-
ing and a and more ¢o-

ordinated authority for establish-
ing and participating in programs
to meet a wide variety of needs,
“These,” he said, “should include
both in-service, or on-the-job,
training, of which the apprentice
programs are one example, and
Programs to make use of the fa-
cilities of educational institutions
and private industry.”

“As more people come into
Government executive positions
from progressive private industry,
where the value of training has
been well established,” he said, “I
think we will see some lessening
of the mistaken belief that train-
ing is simply a gift to employees
at the expense of the taxpayer.”

MARINE ENGINEERS
NEEDED BY U. 8,

‘The New York District, Army
Corps of Engineers, needs marine
engineers (general), $5,940 to
start, and engineering aids (sur-
vey), $2,950, Apply to Mr, Pagliaro,

sonnel branch, at 60 Lafayette

years’ salary). While the cost of
the Group Life Insurance is in
some instances contributed to by
the employees, tt is reasonable to
say that the employer's cost pur-
chases at least one year's benefit.

“(2) Previous studies show that
of 100 employees (clerical) enter-
ing at age 30, some 17 per cent die
in active service as compared with
about 1744 per cent who eventually
retire or become disabled. Thus,
as regards the number of em-
ployees affected, the death benefit
4s of equal importance with the
retirement and disability benefit,

“(3) Tt is reasonable to assume
that close to one thousand mem-
bers of the retirement system died
in active service in 1953, and that
®pproximately half of such mem-
bers had twelve years or more of
service,

“(4) There is a wide disparity
between the value of benefits paid
to @ member who happens to die

pension benefits paid to 2 member
who survives to such ages and
retires.

“As president of The Civil Ser-
vice Employees Association, Inc.,
I fee] that the foregoing data prove
conslusively that the present max-
imum ordinary death benefit in
our Retirement System, of six

raises was held. Speakers
nailed that the pay question
became so technical this year, that
it was impossible to get a full pice
ture of the Administration's pro-
posal In advance of the MHEA
meeting. It was given the next day
at the meeting of the Civil Service
Employees Association, to which
most of the MHEA members be-
long.

Emil Impresa, chairman of the
publicity committee of the MHEA,
reported that eagerness for the
40-hour week, at 48-hour pay, was
running higher among Mental
Hygiene Department employees
than ever. The MHEA resolved to
ask the CSEA to continue making
every possible effort to get a bill
enacted instituting the 40-hour
week for institutional employees at
this session.

In answer to & question at the
meeting of the CSEA, John F.
Powers, president, said everything
was being done that could be done,
and maximum effort would con-
tinue unabated.

Mr. Impresa ran into Governor
Thomas E. Dewey at the DeWitt
Clinton Hotel, he said, and men-
tioned to the Governor how
strongly the Mental Hygiene em-
ployees feel about the 40-hour
week, Mr, Impresa reported the
Governor showed interest and
askd him to send a letter to his
secretary, stating full particulars,

Expansion Program

Much interest was shown by
MHEA members in the expansion
Program of the department, to be
financed by a bond issue. Some
members felt that the proposed
scheme would be amended, not all
the additions made at all the in-
stitutions as presently listed, be-
cause of other alterations making
those tnstitutions capable of han=
dling additional types of guests,
and other reasons, However, it was
agreed that the expansion pro-
gram, if it carries with it increase
of personnel, would be a subject
of increased interest to the em-
ployee group. Close study will be
made of the expansion program.
Enthusiasm was expressed for the
State's interest in improved care
of the mental patients, and fore-
seeing the need of caring for more
patients,

Other speakers were

HOW TO RETIRE SOONER

by earning a small income
Government figures prove you need much
less money if you retire to the country, and
now a new book shows over and over a-
gain how to make the money you do need,
whether you retire with or without a lot

ING IN THE COUNTRY is “virtually a
blue print for the retired man or woman

| wanting to make their own way,” says

the Chicago Daily News.
With this book, you learn:
—how to make the most income from tourist
cabins and a trailer camp (including where

to locate for the most business at highest
rentals);

—what to do to earn $3000 a year from a week
end roadstand (even if you never raise a
green thing);

—how 500 chickens will bring you « fing liv
ing on your own bit of land;

—the best way known to learn which business
to start;

—the only sure way to get a good buy In a
business put up for sale;

—how a $2500 investment in « part-time busi~
ness will bring you all the income a retired
family may need in the country.

—the dozens and dozens of other dignified,
easy to start part-time enterprises that pay
well in the country (from renting out equip-
ment for week end farming to dozens of other
profitable ideas),

Read this 75,000 word book now. Check
off the ways you'd like to earn a small in-
come in the country, See how easily they
make retirement possible for you — now.
Despite its big size, HOW TO MAKE A
LIVING IN THE COUNTRY costs only $1,

Do you know where to find an island right near

Where Wili You Go In Florida?

If You Want a Vacation You Can Afford
Florida needn’t be expensive—not if you
know just where to go for whatever you
seek in Florida, And if there’s any man
who can give you the facts you want it's
Norman Ford, founder of the world-
famous Globe Trotters Club, (Yes, Florida
is his home whenever he isn’t traveling!)

His big book, Nerman Ford’s Florida,
tells you, first of all, road by road, mile
by mile, everything you'll find in Florida,
whether you're on vacation, or looking
over job, business, real estate, or retire-
ment prospects.

Always he names the hotels, motels, and
restaurants where you can stop for the
best accommodations and meals at the
price you want to pay. For that longer
vacation if you let Norman Ford guide
you, you'll find a real “paradise’”—just the
spot which has everything you want,

Of course, there’s much more te this
big book.
if You Want a Job or a Home in Florida
Norman Ford tells you just where to head,
His talks with hundreds of personnel mam
agers, business men, real estate operators,
state officials, etc. lets him pin-point the
towns you want to know about if you're
going to Florida for a home, a job with a
future, or a business of your own. If you've
ever wanted to run a tourist court or owm
orange grove, he tells you today’s inside
story of these popular investments,

If You Want to Retire on @ Small Income
Norman Ford tells you exactly where you
can retire now om the money you've go’
whether it's a little or a lot. (If you nee
a part-time or seasonal job to help out your
income, he tells you where to pick up ex-
tra income.) Because Norman Ford always
tells you where life in Florida is pleasant.
est on’a small income, he can help you te
take life easy now.

Yes, no matter what you seek im Florida
—whether you want to retire, vacation,
get a job, buy a home, or start a business,
Norman Ford’s Florida gives you the facta

‘ou need to find exactly what you want,
et this big book with plenty of maps and

well over 100,000 words sells for only $2

— only a fraction of the money you'd

eee needlessly if you went te Florida

ALBANY, March 1 — The first
start was made at the meeting of
delegates of the Civil Service Em-
Ployees Association, held in Chan-
celior's Hall, Education Building,
to authorize County chapters to
become members of Conferences.

A formal resolution authoriz-~

D;|ing their admission to any of the

five existing Conferences which
cover the applicants’ area was tab-
led because of interest shown by
County members in having Con-
ferences consisting of County
; {chapters only, The present Con-
ferences are composed solely of
.| State Division chapters, and the
idea embodied in the resolution is
one of unity by the composite
method.

Mrs, Lulu Williams, of the
Broome County chapter, offered a
Lresolution to authorize the creation

‘of Conferences consisting only of
County chapters, on the ground
that the problems of County em-
Ployees are different and
authority to act on employee re~-
quests for better pay, hours and
working conditions resides in local
government bodies, not im the
State Legislature or State depart-
ments.

‘The delegates favored the print-
ing of Mrs, Williams’ resolution,
and it will come up for = vote at
the next meeting of Association
delegates, to be held possibly in
October.

tabled, also. @ne point members

ed among themselves was
whether the terms of other mem~-
bers of the board of directors of
the Association should be con-
sidered.

Article I of the bylaws was
amended to permit other officers
to sign checks when those pri-
marily authorized may be unable
to do so, as because of fliness. No
point about successiom to office is
involved. The new amendment, ef-
fectuated by the vote, since it is
not a change in the constitution,
follows:

While there were controversial
aspects of the proposed constitu-
tional amendments, Mr, Shemin
felt that other embodied proposals
would have passed, had they been
voted on separately, It was not
Possible to vote on them as sep-
arate proposals because the reso-
lution had to be voted as ordered
printed at the last meeting, with-
out change. The constitution does
not admit of waivers of the his
necessity. Shemin’s committee is
now considering offering the so-
called non-controversial proposals
at the next meeting, They are:

The filling of president vacancy
by succession of vice presidents,
down the line, but the secretary
and treasurer vacancies to be
filled by the board of directors.

Members of the nominating
committee not to be eligible for
candidacy in election for which
they served as slate selectors.

Vacancies in State department
representative posts on the board
of directors to be filled by special
election at which the members in
the affected department will vote.

portion of Governor Dewey's re-
cent report to the Legisiature re-
lating to Social Security benefits.
Apparently the Administration has
reached the conclusion that it
would be to the advantage of em-
ployees if our retirement system
was in some way integrated with
the Social Security system, since
among other things this would
provide dependent benefits. As
the Governor indicated, the bene-
fits under our own retirement sys-
tem cannot be reduced or modi-
fied, since they are guaranteed
under the Constitution. Conse-
quently, it would have to bé left
optional with each employee as
to whether the employee prefer-
red to come under the integrated
plan or to continue under our
present retirement system.”

When the meeting heard the
announcement about Blue Cross
an¢ Blue Shield, applause was
tremendous.

Blue Cross covers hospitaliza-
tion, Blue Shield surgical and re-
lated additional health benefits,

tested to Mayor Wagner by the
Government and Civic Employees
Organising Committee, CIO, John
P. Power, CIO regional director,
complained the increase was con-
trary to the Mayor's intent to re-
duce the work-week to 40 hours

giving complete reasons for its re-
quest, and a historical record.

the proper relationship of the
Commission to public employees!
and their employer, the public.

The third member of the Com-
mission is Alexander A. Falk, a
Democrat, whom Governor Dewey
appointed to a term expiring Feb-
ruary 1, 1955, the shortest one;
Miss Krone gets the intermediate
one, expiring im 1957, and Presi-
dent Taylor the longest one, expir-
ing in 1960.

Florida Girt

Miss Krone was born in Gains-
ville, Fla. Her parents moved to
New York while she was a small
girl. The family spent the winters}
in the south, where Miss Krone
then received her early schooling.
She attended grade school at
Chappaqua, N, ¥., where she still
lives. It adjoins New Castle. After
graduation from grade school she
attended Pleasantville High
School. She had to walk four miles
to school and four miles back.

“No bus service in those days,”
she explains.

She completed high school in
three years, one under par, She
took business courses thereafter,
including stenography, at which
She developed high speed. She
studied a year at Sweet Briar Col-
lege, in Virginia. Returning to
Chappaqua, she became secretary
to a law firm, and did much work
also as a hearing stenographer.
The excellence of her work at-
tracted the attention of Robert B.
Stewart, supervisor of New Castle,
who appointed her clerk.

Governor Dewey named her
Deputy Commissioner of the De-
Partment of ‘Taxation and Finance
in June, 1943. She assumed the
duties of director of the Commodi-
ties Tax Bureau. The next year the
bur dealt with alcohol, cigar-
ette and gasoline taxes. The next
year the bureau's duties were en-
larged to inchide stock transfer,
pari-mutue!l and mortgage taxes,
and the name was changed to the
Miscellaneous Tax Bureau. Three
rs later transfer and estate
taxes were added. The seven forms
of taxes now yield the State about
$300,000,000 a year,

Successful Reorganization

During the last few years she
gradually reorganized the bureau
on modern principles of business
management and mechanized
much of the work. She introduced
sctentifie accounting and auditing
systems, Divisions in her bureau
were consolidated and employees
were given on-the-job training to
perform the duties in tax
branches handled by her office,
One of her reforms was eliming-
tion of duplication of work.

Personnel Work

Meanwhile the Governor ap-
pointed her Chairman of the Per-
sonnel Council, an additional duty
at no additional pay, as part of
the activities of the Civil Servce
Department to coordinate person-
nel activities of departments on a
standard pattern. At the outset the
work was largely educational
through the dissemination of in-

formation to om ual-

form practices, as established by
the Commission, or by statutes, in=
cluding court interpretations, For
the first time, also, through th:
Personnel Council, the State made
an effort to handle employee griev=
ances at a central point, but the
Counetl staff was limited In num-
ber. However, services were rend-
ered to departments, through liat-
son activities, and to employees,
as well. The Council acted as a
clearing house for attempts by
employees to obtain transfers.
Minimum transfer requirements
were established, and a personal
interest shown in employee prob-
Jems. In this connection she made
her first hit with the Association,
She was a guest speaker at one of
their panels, at which she de-
seribed the functions of the Coun-
cil and defined the limited scope
of its authority, Actually, that au-
thority was advisory, but repre-
sented a tentative approach by the
Dewey Administration toward
broader scope in dealing with em-
ployee grievances, The result was
the creation of the Personnel Re-
lations Board. The new Board had
power to go somewhat farther, but
the method under which it, too,
operated left employees hoping for
a more effective law. 4

Always one of Miss Krone’s con-
cerns to have policies uniform,
as best for both the employee and
the employer, The same idea per-
vaded her work in tax matters, in
which she engaged additionally
through various associations of
taxpayers. Not. only simplified,
standard forms but, so far as prac-
ticable, uniform laws were sought
in the different States.

She was elected president of the
National Tobacco Tax Association,
and was vice president of the
North American Gasoline Tax
Conference, as well as active in
other joint efforts, through which
simpler tax forms were developed,
taxpayer cooperation obtained,
and modern techniques introduced
generally in the taxing operation,
Representatives of industry also
were called in for consultation, and
even given hearings, so that one-
sided results would be avoided, to
mutual benefit. The simplified
forms saved both the taxpayers
and the States much time, hence
money, Practically all of the tax-
payers concerned are large corpo-
rations taxed in all 48 States. At-
tending meetings im connection
with this extra-mural work, Misa
Krone had to travel over to vari-+
ous parts of the country, and eapi-
talized on opportunities to study
the taxing operations in her fleld
in those States.

She has frequently been princt-
pal speaker at meetings of indus-
tries and State tax offices. With the
experience gained as law secretary,
and later as Commissioner, she be-
came an expert on the tax laws,
She ts able to present m highly
technical subject in clear, simple
words, @ gift that she has demon-
strated to the Civil Service Em-
ployees Association, also, om civil
service matters.

Outdoor Girl, Tee

Miss Krone has an engaging pet
sonality. She is distinctly the out-
door girl type. She greatly enjoys
fishing, and not only baits her owa
hook as deftly as she sews « dressy

off stubbors

but gets the fish

hooks without calling for help
She's an expert fly-caster, and am
ardent cross-country hiker, Her
only regret about her job is thas
they keep her indoors more tham
she would prefer, Under the re-
organized Civil Service Commis-
sion, various proposed reforms are
under study, and she has abouts
abandoned any hope of spring
trout fishing this year, She's all
ready for her confining job, having
just returned from her annual va-
cation in Florida, more tanned
than ever.

One of her stanch beliefs is ta
the benefit of the conference
nethod, and she would favor full
consultation with employees,
through their representatives, be-
fore action is taken. This has
Commissioner ews way, too,
President Taylor ls expected to
just as enthusiastie bows
