Congress OK Expected on New
Pay Setup; How It Works Out

WASHINGTON. — Here's the
probable final shape of the new
Government pay bill—the bill that
will control the salaries of thous-
ands of Federal workers for the
duration,

It doesn't apply to per diem
workers. Neither does it apply to
employees whose salaries are
fixed by wage boards, or by ad-
ministrative action.

But for the many thousands of
others —for those whose salaries
were affected when Congress
passed the so-called stop-gap pay
act last December—here is exact.y
what the new bill means:

What It Means

If you work more than 40

hours per week—you will get
overtine pay at the present rates.
In other words, if your work week
is 48 hours, your overtime pay
will be 21.6 per cent of the first
$2,900 of your income.

If your base salary is between
$4,372 and $5,000—you'll get ex-
actly $628.32 in overtime pay. At

present, you get only enough to
raise you to $5,000.

If your base salary is $5,000 or

more—you'll get exactly $628.32,

At present, you get no overtime
pay whatever.

| gli ins overtime pay won't
equal $300—you will get a flat
‘$200 bonus, instead.
ee you don’t work overtime -
you will get either $300 or a
15 per cent bonus, whichever is
larger. At present, you are get-
ting a 10 per cent bonus.
Jf you are an hourly or part-
tima worker—you will get a 15
per cent bonus, instead of the
present 10 per cent bonus.
—If you are an employee of the
Legislative or Judicial branch
—you will get either $300 or a 15
per cent bonus, whichever is
larger. At present, you are get-
ting a 10 per cent bonus.
assage Seems Certain
‘The above provisions are prac-
tically certain of Congressional
approval—probably sometime this
week, They were agreed upon
last Wednesday by House and

Senate conferees who met to iron
out differences between their re-
spective bills.

Under Congressional rules, the
conference report must either be
accepted in full, rejected in full,
or sent back to conference.

Other Changes

The conference committee also
did these things to the new bill:

It rejected a clause which would
have denied overtime benefits 10
members of unions which dis-
criminate against Negroes

It set June 30, 1945, as the
termination date of the bill.

It granted Federal agencies the
right to grant time off, in lieu of
overtime pay, for work in excess
of 48 hours per week.

It retained a clause which says
e pay cannot exceed 3)
per cent of an employee's basic
salary.

And, as Indicated above, it
knocked out the ceiling which de-
nied overtime pay to men making
more than $5,000—and at the same
time restricted the oyertime pay
of those in the brackets immedi-
ately below $5,000.

Women to Take Over as Draft
Pulls Key Men From U.S. Jobs

WASHINGTON. — In all prob-
s, in the

ability, Federal agenci
next few months, will have to
Iaunch an enormous training pro-
gram to equip replacements for
men called in the draft.

This means increased job op-
portunities for women — chances
for work at higher salaries and
with greater prestige than Gov-
ernment customarily has offered
te women in the past.

Women to Take Over

As pointed out in The LEADER
last week, many agencies stand to
lose a large number of key offi-
cials to the draft. It is still too
early, of course, to forecast the
precise fields in which the most
serious shortages will develop.
Here, however, are some of the
higher-salaried Government jobs
in which women already are mak-
ing great inroads:

Personnel Technicians — Many
agencies now rely on women for
some of their most important per-
sonnel jobs.

Administrative Assistants —
‘These jobs are low-paid to start,
but offer excellent opportunities
for advancement.

Auditors of all kinds.

Lawyers—Because of the pres-
sure of the draft, many agencies
now are hiring only 4F men—
or women.

Information Specialists — There
is a considerable demand for
competent women who can handle
Government public relations work,
This, of course, calls for new:
paper, or radio or advertising ex-
perience,

POSTAL NEWS

It Always Makes Trouble
Now that the $300 is in the
pocket, and the Post Office should
be as happy as the finale of a
movie, along comes an order from
Washington telling the Postmas-
ters to their staffs.
Here in New York City a 10 per-
cent cut was ordered, and from
the looks of things, the custodiel
s will be the ones to
own to the United States
Employment Office and tell what
they'd Like to do for a living.
About 400 will be dropped in
Manhattan and the Bronx, and

Anti-Inflation

Order Affects
Employees Little

WASHINGTON.—President
Roosevelt's new “hold-the-line”
anti-inflation order will have al
most no effect on Government
workers.

For instance, it will not affect
Mead-Ramspeck automatic pro-
motions. Neither will it affect re-
classifications, re-allocations, or
transfers to other jobs.

Civil Service and War Man-
power officials see just two ways
in which Federal employees may
possibly be hit by the order. ‘First
it may become a trifle more dif-
ficult to transfer from Govern-
ment to a higher-paid job in pri-
vate industry, Second—it may be-
come a trifle more difficult to
transfer to a higher-paid job in
Government.

Council Wants
Employees Paid
For Holidays

A resolution which would allow
City employees to take off reli-
gious holidays with pay, intro-
duced by Councilman Edward
Vogel, was referred to the Com-
mittee on Rules. Mr. Vogel nad
requested immediate action on the
resolution, but there was so much
noise and confusion on the floor
of the Council that Genevieve B.
Earle, Fusion member of the
Council, said she couldn't hear a
word of what was happening and
asked that the resolution be re-
ferred to a committee.

Ho er, the Vogel-Hart reso-
lution which allows Jewish em-
ployees a paid vacation on the
Passover holidays, and the Nu-
gent-Carroll resolution allowing
Catholic employees the same
privilege on Good Friday, were
passed,

tunnel.

Commissioner William H. Fried-
man, of the New York City
Tunnel Authority, announced that
this step had been taken by the
Authority to help conserve essen-
tial manpower for national de-
fense. He said:

“These women have been care-
fully selected from civil servico
lists when available; and when
not, preference has been given to
the wives of men called to the
army. They have been carefully
trained for their work and should
be highly efficient. ‘They are
helping the defense effort just as
much as if they were in defense
industries themselves, inasmuch
as the Queens Midtown Tunnel is
an essential interborough traffic
artery which must be kept open
and operating, especially since its
use results in savings of both
rubber and gasoline by cars pass-
ing through it. We are confident
that these women will make for
themselves an excellent record

and look forward to their estab-
lishing a precedent which may be
more widely followed in the
future.””

‘You Don’t Know What You’re Talking About,’
Employees Answer to Moses’ Attack on Patriotism

Last week Commissioner Robert
Moses attacked the patriotism of
civil employees.

This week, it appeared certain
that the Park Commissioner may
regret his words, as employee or-
ganizations mobilized to demand,
as one of them put it, “that this
bad-tempered slur be removed.”

Snarled the Commissione

creasingly critical of civil service
employees or any kind of govern-
ment employees who are not in
the armed forces. They want
them to do their jobs and do less
bellyaching about their work,
They want them to have fewer de-
mands, , .

When Councilnian Joseph ¥.
Kinsley asked why civil service
employees were singled out for at-
tack on their patriotism, and
asked the Moses statement be re-
read, the bristling Commissioner
replied:

“You can have it read and put
any interpretation you may de-

sire on it." Moses offered no
proof that the public is “iner
ingly critical’”’ of civil service em-
ployees.

*

Commissioner Moses should
apologize publicly and immedi-
ately, says John Hughes.

He offered no proof that they
are not doing their jobs.

He offered nothing in evidence
to show what civil service em-
ployees had accomplished to aid
the war effort.

Americans Stand Up

Said John Hughes, president of
the Civil Service League: ‘It
there's any bellyaching, Mr.
Moses is doing it. We would be
less than Americans if we failed
to stand up for what we consider
our rights—especially when men
in positions like that occupied by
Mr. Moses propose to trample on
those rights, The Commissioner
should apologize publicly.”

A detailed answer to the Moses
castigations was made by Bilis
Ranen, in conference with locals
of AFL employee organizations in
the city. Mr. Ranen was until
recently a city official himself, as
Industrial Relations adviser to the
Welfare Department. He is now
Eastern Representative for the
American Federation of State,
County, and Municipal Employees

Council Puts
Workers on

The much-disputed Parks DVe-
partment employees bill has
finally been passed by the Coun-
cil by a yote 22—4, Several Coun-
ci] members admitted that they
were in doubt as to how the meas-
ure would work out, but they
were voting for it because
vice-chairman and majority
Leader Joseph T, Sharkey had
said that the employ were
solidly for it, and the bill would
be to their benefit. This despite
the fact that three employee or-
ganizations opposed the measure,
and restrained the Council from
action for almost a year.

Minority members of the Coun-
cil charged that the measure vio-
lated the principles of the Me-
Carthy Increment Law by setting
maximums for assistant garden-
evs, On both sides of the Council
there was heated dispute over the
uniform provision which requires
that park workers purchase uni-
forms, allows the Commissioner of
Parks, Robert Moses, to prescribe
the types of uniforms to be pur-
chased and to set penalties for the
failure to appear in uniform when
ordered,

Moses Appears Personally

Appearing personally before the
Council in d e of the bill, Mr.
Moses strongly defended every
provision of the measure, said
that the employees were for it,
and attacked opponents of the oil
(by implication the Civil Service

Forum, SCMWA, and the Civil
Service League) as representa
tives of groups which were not
affected by the proposed law. in
actual fact, however, all these
organizations have members in

seriously affected by the bill,
There was no mention made of
the recent public hearing at which
violent opposition to the bill was
expr provisions
attacked employees groups.
Commissioner Moses’ personal ap-
pearance, however, is taken as *n.
indication that the objections
struck home, Had he been cer-
tain of passage, Mr, Moses would
not personally have appeared 0
defend his measure,
“Best We Can G
In his nvmerous ar
other council member
Key constantly reit
“this bill js the best that we can
re and that placing the employ-
ees on a per annum basis would
make up for the wage ceilings and
the other contested provisions.
These were arguments that had
been previously, advanced by the
Greater New York Parks Em
ployees Association, the one Parks
organization that bad come out in
favor of the bill,
The SGMWA this week issued a
detailed denuunciation of the bill

Who Gets—And Who Doesn’t Get—
That N. Y. State Salary Increase?

ALBANY.—Here are some set-
tled facts for State employees
who are going to get the pay in-
crease voted by the Legislature.

—Employees paid by the hour

or by the day will get the
boost, figured on the basis of a
regular year’s employment.

2 ee and maintenance
aren't included in figuring the

pay raise.

Q—The bonus can't be figured as

“~ compensation for retirement

or pension purposes

—The increase will be subject
to Victory Tax deductions,

The Hitch

Best guess is that all employees
who have worked for six months
or more will be included in the in-
crease, However, a hitch has de-
veloped which may preclude tem-
porary employees from receiving
the increase. Experts, in taking
the law apart, have discovered
this clause:

“This act shall apply only to
State officers and employees who
are regularly employed or who
are appointed or engaged for a
period of not less than six

months.” Now it so happens that
hundreds of State employees, who
had been appointed for six months
or less, have stayed on their jobs
beyond that period, while waiting
for the establishment of eligible
lists or because their emergency
jobs required them to remain for
a longer period. or because there
fust isn’t any manpower available
on the regular civil service lists
to replace them. Question: Are
they to be included in the pay
raise? The Civil Service Commis-
sion and the State Comptroller

haven't agreea on this, and
they've sent out contradictory
statements,

Want a Headache? Just Try and Figure
Out What a Subway Worker Gets Paid

The pay raise situation in the
subways isn’t quite as simple as
we made it appear last week, and
we are sorry. The Board of
Transportation workers are in a
separate class so far as pay is
concerned, most of them working
on an hourly pay basis instead of
the per diem or per annum ar-
rangement under which other
City employees operate.

They won't get the fifty cents a
day boost as we were informed
last week, but here’s what has
happened to date as regards their
pay checks under the Mayer's
proposed pay boosts:

Here’s How It Works

A lump sum will be appropriated
to bring the earnings of Board
of Transportation workers into

line with other civic workers.
This will be about three million
dollars according to the Board of
‘Trangportation, and about a mil-
lion more according to the Trans-
port Workers Union.

Each job in the system will have
to be analyzed according to re-
cent wage adjustments, cost of
living increases and inequalities
in pay, Then a new pay schedule
will be drawn up and the Board's
employees will find out how they
are going to make out.

Union Meets Delaney

Union delegates have already
had one meeting with Chairman
John H. Delaney of the Board of
‘Transportation, and expect to get
together with him again this week
to see if they can straighten out
what seems to be one tough job.

As The LEADER went to press,

War Veterans Go to Bat
For Dismissed Char-women

ALBANY.—Representatives of
soldier veteran groups are en-
gaged in a survey of the alleged
dismissal of char-women in the
Division of Public Buildings fol-
lowing an appeal both to Gover-
n  Tewey and to John A. Mae-
Cormack, superintendent, to “go
easy” on the firings.

The veteran organizations con-
tend that char-women, who are
the widows of veterans or the
wives or mothers of men now in
the armed services, should not be
fired for political reasons, if their
livelihood, or major income is de-
rived from their employment by
the State.

We have no quarrel with the
replacement of any other per-
sons," said one of the vet-
eran spokesmen. ‘‘We do believe
that the widow of a veteran or

the mother or wife of men now
in uniform should be permitted to

remain in the job if that job
means her living. We don’t be-
lieve that this applies to the

grandmother of a man in service
or to a woman who has a cousin
or nephew in service or to anyone
who will not be impoverished by
loss of her job, even though she
be the widow of a veteran or the
wife or mother of a man in serv-
tee.”
No Answer

The veterans say they have re-
ceived no reply to their letters to
the Governor or Superintendent
MacCormick and that they under-
stand that some char-woman have
been fired who were in the cate-
gory of their special pleading.
‘There was no comment from the
officials concerned, except that
employment records do not show
whether the employee is a widow

or theywife or mother of a man
in the service.

Of the 48 charwomen In the
Capitol, about 20 have been
dropped, it was reported, includ-
ing the forelady who has been
with the State 20 years, Several
guards and watchmen also have
been laid off, The situation fs
the same in the State Otfice

Building, Some of the men and
women who were dropped say:
“It is not surprising. We knew
when we took the job it was of

political duration ‘and that a
change of administration would
mean a lay-off.”

Governor Says
"No' to Sick Leave
For Subway Men

ALBANY — Two bills aimed at
giving employees 6f the State and
New York City the right to ac-
cumulate unused sick leave from
year to year were vetoed by Gov-
ernor Dewey.

Of the Halpern bill, applying
solely to some 20,000 employees
of the Mental Hygiene hospitals,
the Governor frowned upon per-
mitting the group to accumulate
their annual unused 12-day sick
leave over a period of five years,
as the measure proposed.

Sick leave is now provided by
law for employees in Mental Hy-|
giene, Correction, Health, Educa-
tion and Social Welfare institu-
tions, supplemented by rules and
regulations of the departments,

“This bill," said the Governor,
is unnecessary and it is much
wiser that flexibility by admini
trative rule be maintained. Fur-
thermore this bill applies to only
one special group of employecs.”

Subway Men

Of the Wicks bill which would
permit employees of the New
York City Board of Transporta-
tion (transit workers) the right to
add unused sick leave to regular
vacation allowances, the Gover-
nor, in disapproving the measure,
said:

“This is clearly a matter for
local determination . . . and would
encroach upon the local home rule
of cities." He said Mayor La-
Guardig had expressed ‘vigorous
opposition’ to the bill,

In the case of the latter bill, the
Governor made it plain that he
was “not expressing any judg-
ment’? of his own regarding the
pragfices of the Board of Trans-
portation.

the midnight oil trying to figure
out what proposals they would
bring before the board, and the
board probably welcomes the help
of the union in getting things
reorganized.

By next week, some one may
have decided something definite,
and we'll try to get you all the
latest dope.

The following TWU officials are
working on the increase problem:

Mahon, William Grogan and

Work for

Women in This War

That women have to make up
for the manpower lost to the
armed forces by industry was the
gist of speakers at a luncheon of
the Publicity Club of New York
held last week.

Speakers from Selective Serv-
ice, the Federal Civil Service,
the United States Employment
Service and the Emergency Sci-
ence and Management War train-
ing Program all stressed the im-
portance of women getting into
war-industry and the opportun-
ities offered for women to receive
training which will benefit them
after victory.

Women With Children

Commander E. B. Erickson of
the War Manpower Commission
said that women could do their
share by freeing men for the
heavier job in war industries or
for the fighting forces. He asked
women not to forget that every
job which must be done is im-
portant to the war effort, and
that holding a job which in any
way frees other Iabor for war
production is helping bring peace
closer.

Analyzing the present labor con-
ditions, Commander Erickson <aid
that women with small children
are not needed as workers in the
New York area yet, but suggested
that provision be made to care
for the children of working
mothers so that this cause of ab-
senteeism and lowered worker
morale may be eliminated.

“This is not a white collar war.’
he said, and pointed out that even
the college woman must expect to
do her share and get her hands
dirty if she wants us to win the
war.

Listing some of the fields in
which women have been placed
through the Government employ-
ment service, he listed barbe:
shipyard work, steel mill jobs,
tractor driving and farming as
some of the types of work into
which women have stepped.

He pointed out that the labor
scene in this vicinity is changing
rapidly, and that 30,000 women
will be needed by factories around
New York by mid-summer.

Constant Demand for Women

James E. Rossell of the Federal
Civil Service Commission said
that their difficulty was getting
enough women for the jobs which
have to be filled. “Despite the
freezing of Federal personnel,”
he said, “there is still a constant
demand for women to fill the
holes which the draft is leaving
in our stafis,""

Since July, 1942, he indicated,
the Government has been hiring
workers at the rate of 230,000 a
month, and each month -the pro-
portion of women is increasing
The Navy Yards are now using
large groups of women. Other
Federal establishments are re-
placing their men with women,
There is constant demand for
women who can be trained as in-
spectors of the thousands of dif-
ferent things which the Govern-
ment is making.

College women are needed badly
in many branches of the Federal
Service. Majors in the physical
sciences, chemists, economists are
all valuable to the war effort now.

And while the college women
may start at a lower salary than
she would receive for untrained
work in.private industry, she can
advance more rapidly.

Can Earn to $3,000

‘The average college graduate,
after a 10-week course during
which she will receive no pay,
can start in the Government at
between $1,750 and $3,000 a year.

Mr. Rossell estimated that the
civil service could use between 1
and 6 percent of the nation's
women during the war.

The Army General Classification Test

Continuing our discussion of Army tests from last week:

We gave several examples of “cube-counting” problems used
in the induction test which every new soldier must take. Here are
the answers to those problems (reading the cubes from left to right) ;
48; 56; 32; 27; 17,

Now let's look at some examples of other type questions used
on the Army General Classification Test. Here are some examples
of arithmetic problems similar to those which appear on the tes
Work them out as rapidly as you can.

1, The Red Cross held an entertainment for their fund, It
was held in the school auditorium, which seats 600 people. One-
third of the seats were sold for 75 cents each, one-half of them for
50 cents each and the remainder for 25 cents each, How much was
collected? -

2. The list price of a radio is $160, Find the net price if
the radio is sold with discounts of 15 per cent and 10 per cent.

3. An apple grower sold his apples through a commission
merchant to the Quartermaster Corps. The shipment, which amount-
ed to 550 bushels, was sold at $2.10 a bushel, The rate of commis-
sion was 4 per cent. The cost of freight and cartage was $1.85.
How much did the farmer receive after all expenses were paid?

4. A peep averages 15 miles per gallon of gasoline and 150
the oil 30 cents a quart, how much did it cost for gasoline and oil
miles per quart of oil. If the gasoline cost 16 cents a gallon and
during a year in which the peep was driven 6,525 miles?

5. A case of cereal costs $2.40 delivered. It contains 20
packages, which retail at 15 cents a package. What is the profit
on the case and what is the per cent of profit based on the cost?

6. A man has an income of $5,000 a year. He is allowed
exemptions of $2,500 for being the head of a family and $400 for
one child. Find the amount of the income tax he must pay on the
balance at the rate of 3 per cent.

Answers: (1) $325; (2) $122.40;
(5) 25 per cent; (6) $63.--.

EDITORIAL

A Part-Time Job Plan
For Civil Employees

S LAST WEEK we surveyed the commissioners and borough
A presidents about how they feel on the question of spare-time
jobs for New York's municipal employees, we got to feeling
that this is a bigger thing than it had looked, Some of the commis-
sioners told us they were reluctant to let their employees take part-
time jobs, but they didn't see how they could prevent it. in view of
a court decision to the contrary. Some told us it’s all right with
them if their employees take outside jobs, so long as it doesn’t inter-
fere with their regular jobs. Some said, sure, let °em work, What
they do in their own time is their own business, and we won't
interfere.
But this matter of spare-time jobs has a lot of important angles.
It isn’t necessary to kid anybody—-the whole town knows that
lots and lots of city employees held down part-time jobs during the
pericd when the Mayor's order prohibiting part-time jobs was in
effect. The courts said the Mayor's order was wrong. The order
had been discbeyed so widely precisely because it was wrong—not
because civil service employees are disobedient or dishonest. To be
truthful about-it—they were squeezed between a low-wage policy
cf living. They had to find some way of increas-
The only way they could do it was by taking on
Most of them didn’t particularly like to do it.

They just had to.
Now, from the employee's point of view, the pay situation has

been only incompletely handled in the executive budget. Those earn-
ing above $2,500 weren't helped at all. Those earning below $2,500
are gett’ng but a few dollars a week more. Jn short, the budget
doesn’t begin to meet the needs of the man and woman on fixed sal-
ary who must pay precipitously higher prices for everything, plus
higher taxes and more of them. Now, one small way of helping out
in th's bad situation is to allow—in fact, encourage—city employees
to hold outside jobs.

HELPS THE WAR EFFORT

As the labor market tightens up, spare-time jobs for employees
not only a'd the employees, but are a specific and direct help to the
naticn’s war manpower problem. Spare-time jobs offer an effective
way cf utilizing the huge armies of civil service workers in the
war effort. In Albany and in Washington, many employees spend
their spare time and week-ends helping nearby farmers. There is
no recorded case where any agency head has complained that his
agency's efficiency was being harmed by employees’ holding outside
positions.

Much of the important work of the nation is accomplished by
sparc-time activities of men and women. In fact (to cite an instance
with which we are intimately acquainted), three employees of this
news>aper have written full-size books in the past year, published
by outside firms. Their work on this newspaper hasn't suffered.
Their morale is high. They have a deep sense of accomplishment—
and they’ve learned a lot which is useful to the paper.

Naturally, some types of civil employees must Le restricted in
accepting outside jobs. That's true anywhere. But the vast majority
can work cn outside jobs without in the least impairing their value
to the city. Mayor LaGuardia and other city officials should
realize this — and do something about it.

HERE’ A PLAN

We suggest a plan. Let representatives of the official family
and of the employees get together. Let them work out clearly
(1) which jobs are restricted, which aren't; (2) how the city can
help the employee meet the prospective spart-time employer. There
should be some way in which a war plant (let us say) that could use
the services of 200 employees, three evenings a week, could find
those employees by canvassing the rolls of city workers. This would
result in the least amount of waste effort, would cut out worrying
over a spare-time job, and would mean satisfaction all around.

A manpower committee could easily be set up to do this work—
which must be viewed as an important contribution toward winning
the war, We suggest this list of names, from which the committee
might be constructed :—

Newbold Morris, Council president, and, Dr. Ernest L.
Stebb:ns, Health Commissioner; Harry W. Marsh, president of the
Municipal Civil Service Commission; Joseph Sharkey, majority
leader of the City Council; Joseph A. Palma, Borough President of
Richmond, who has studied the problem in some detail; Patrick
Harnedy, president of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, and
Vincent J. Kane, of the Uniformed Firemen’s Association, who
would act as representative of the patrolmen and firemen; James
V. K'ng, of the State, County, and Municipal Workers of America
(CIO); Ellis Ranen, of the American Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employees (AFL); a representative from the Civil
Service Forum, and one from the Transport Workers Union; Henry
Feinstein, president of the Federation of Municipal Employees;
George A. Sloan, Commissioner of Commerce; H. Eliot Kaplan,
executive secretary of the Civil Service Reform Association, who
has studied the legal angles of the question.

How about it, Mr. Mayor?

BEFORE WE FORGET

And while we're at it—let’s not forget that the real solution
for the financial problems of civil employees is decent salaries. The
Board of Estimate is still able to provide better pay (o more people,

The issue was never so clear-cut before . .

The LEADER would like to hear the views of city employ-
ees about the plan for spare-time jobs presented in this editorial.

Merit Men

EVERETT GIBSON is just
about the leadingest man in the
Post Office. He’S the new presi-
dent of the Joint Conference of
Postal Employees of Greater New
York and vicinity, He's president
of Local No, 2, National Federa-

tion of P. O. Motor Vehicle Em-
ployees. And he’s second vice-
president of the National Federa-
tion of P. O. Motor Vehicle Em-
ployees.

And with all this, he’s fairly
new in the department as postal
workers go, having joined up
with Uncle Sam’s mailmen in
1924,

He thinks that the reason he’s
been able to get ahead in the
P. O. service organizations is
probably because he’s a country
boy. He was raised out in the
sticks on Long Island and in Con-
necticut, and he says that away
from the city people have more
interest in helping each _ other
than they have where you find a
couple of million of them living
together, »

Like the othe men leading the
postal groups, he finds his time
pretty well taken up with organ-
ization activities, He hasn't had
a vacation in five years, Every
day of his vacation time has been
used at some convention or meet-
ing trying to get something for
the men who handle the mail.

A Motor Vehicle Man

He has always worked in the
motor vehicle department of the
Post Office and has avoided pro-
motional opportunities in order to
be able to stay in the ranks and
work for the men around him,
He wants a word put in for the
wives of members in his groups.
He says that the “Post Office
widow" is a common thing. She
may get a glimpse of her husband
once or twice a week, for about
ten second while he is changing
his clothes between getting home
from work and dashing down to
a committee meeting. And he
says that the postal wives know
as much about their husbands
jobs as the men do, He'd like to
See the department make a prac-
tice of filling temporary jobs for
the duration with wives of men
who are in the fighting forces.
Most of them, he feels, could step
in with five minutes training and
do as good a job as the old man
What the Postal Men Want
Here are some other things he'd

like to see, and is @ safe guess

Pay-Referendum
Launched °

After having been buffeted
around by the State Legislature
and by the City Fathers since the
beginning of the year in its ef-
forts to win a pay increase for its
members, the Patrolmen’s Ben-
evoient Association this week
launched a new attack.

‘The new attack is a drive for a
sufficient number of voters’ sig-
natures to place a referendum be-
fore the public at the next elec-
tion, ‘The referendum would pro-
vide for a 15 per cent bonus for
all members of the uniformed
force of the Police and Fire de-
partments of this city, up to the
limit of $150.

‘The drive for voters’ signatures
is being conducted jointly by the
PBA and the Uniformed Fire-
men’s Asrociation in cooperation
with al! the other line organiza-
tions, Petitions and lists of vot-
ers’ names are now being distrib-
uted to policemen and firemen
through Station-houses and Fire-
houses. ‘The deadline for present-
ing the minimum number of pe-
titions is June Ist but all petitions
should be submitted to the PBA
office by May 15th so that the
validity of the signatures may be
checked. .

Whirlwind Campaign

‘This means that for the next
month or so a whirlwind cam-
paign will be conducted by the
uniformed organizations. News-
paper publicity will not be sought
until after all the required peti-
tions have been filed and the fact
that the referendum will be held
definitely determined,

Before election day, however,
there will be an intensive educa-
tional campaign conducted to in-
form the voters of the plight of
the ‘uniformed men in meeting
costs of living that have soared
more than 25 per cent while their
salaries have remained unchanged
The officers of the PBA claim
they will make every effort
to prove to their members that
they are capable of obtaining
good publicity for them when they
are convinced that the necessity
exists,

Don't be surprised if, by that
time, the PBA has a Public Re-
lations Counsellor, by whatever
title they may give te job,

(See also story on Page 3).

Outside Jobs

The problem of patrolmen hold.
ing outside jobs has never bother-
ed the Department as it does now.
Tn an effort to catch up with the
rising costs of living many patrol
men have been thinking seriously
of chancing a violation of the De-
partment’s rule forbidding outside
activities and a few have been
known actually to take such jobs

Commissioner Valentine knew
how seriously the problem was be-
coming and for that reason he
took the unusually harsh measure
of suspending two patrolmen who
had obtained positions as guards
at a pler during their vacation.

Joseph F. McLcughlin, who will

serve as judge in the straw

poll of candidates for the PBA
presidency.

This summary suspension served

notice to all patrolmen that the

commissioner considered the prob-

lem acute and would not counte-

nance violations of the Rule bar-

ring outside employment for cops
Case for Outside Jobs

Some feel that a good case can
be made out for permitting such
outside employment where it docs
not interfere with the perform-
ance of a patrolmen's duties. No
one can dispute the financial ne-
cessity that drives men to obtain
these outside jobs and ccrtain-
ly there are jobs that can be held
down without disturbing the avail-
ability of a patrolman for emer-
gency duty. Besides, the recent
Court of Appeals decision which
invalidated a sim‘lar prohibition
against other City employees hold-
ing down part-time jobs properiy
raises the question as to the le-
gality and validity of the Police
Departmert Rule.

Certainly there is a difference
in the nature of a patrolinan's
job from that of a clerk’s, but
this difference does pot provide
assurance that the general prin
ciple established by the Court of
Appeals would not apply to both.
The principle is that outside jobs
may be held where they do not
interfere with the duties of the
City job. Could not the Court
find that the same principle
should be applied to patrolmen?

Take a Case Like This
For what yood reason, for ex-
ample, should a patrolman who
may happen to be a skilled
cabinet-maker be barred from
building cabinets on his own time
and at his own home and selling
them? What taxpayer could com\-
plain that such a patrolman is
rendering less than full services
to the City because he happens to
be occupied in this fashion during
his time off? If such a patrol-
man built cabinets merely as a
hobby and presented them as gifts
to his friends he would be violat-
ing no Department rule. But as
soon as he sclls them instead of
giving them away he becomes
guilty of violating the rules.
The wh.le problem of insisting
upon the right to hold part-time
Jobs is extremely delicate for th>
officers of the PBA. A fear that
such insistence might present the
City Administration with an op-
portunity of demanding more
service from patrolmen, even of
demanding the institution of an
Emergency Chart, must cause
hesitation among PBA officials to
create an issue of the matter.
Meanwhile, let it be noted that
the commissioner's bark is wor:
than his bite. The two patrolmen
who were suspended amid a great
fanfare were quietly reinstated
within twenty-four hours. Wher
the commissioner announced their
reinstatement at the Holy Name
Communion breakfast he was
loudly cheered.
(See Editorial—Page 8).

Bonds and Blood

The Police Commissioner had
brought home to him last week
the desperate financial plight of
his men. Within two days after
starting the Bond drive for a
$350,000 bomber to be mamed the
“Spirit of the Police Department
of the City of New York,” the
commissioner suddenly held up the
drive while he could figure out
some way that the face of the De-
partment could be saved,

‘The simple fact is that the ordi
nary member of the force is un-
able to cope with his current hy-
ing expenses. Let us not forget

By ARTHUR LIEBERS
Back to Washington?

The latest rumors floating
around haye it that Vets will pack
up and hie back to Washington
come July, With other govern-
ment bureaus still moving out of
the Capital, it doesn’t make sense
for Vets to move back, but that’s
why people think there may be
something to the talk, Here's
what the Boss has to say about
it: He's just back from a trip
to Washington and he says ‘taint
so. In fact, he wouldn't be sur-
prised to see the government taki
over the rest of the building, so
the candy store and the barber
shops may be gone with the wind
ere long.

Messenger Department

Last week we told you about the
white truck that had so strangely
vanished, This week it's back
again, Mr, Braden had a posse
out scouring the building for the
truck and it was finally located
down on the second floor where
it wes being used as a waste-
basket. Now the boys on the 10th
floor are stuck with it again, The
ith floor gang has the well-
behaved little green truck and
they're guarding it to make sure
that no one sneaks down and
swaps it for the ‘‘coffin.”

Supervisor’s Corner

The mailman came in t’other
a, m, carrying a letter with ice
tongs and dropped it on our desk.
It was so hot he singed his
fingers when he touched it. The
missive said, among other things,
that this little section of The
‘ADER is disgusting (nice way
a lady to talk), Letter said

Kate Blount is the fairest
person in Section 4, 5th Floor
East, and that we were all kinds
of a louse if we said otherwise.
Also that she was still in the in-
firmayy—we're sorry to hear that
anybody's sick, and hope she'll be
back at her desk soon making all
her underlings happy.

Letter No. 2 calls down
Crosswell of the 8th floor,
that now that she has found out
the difference between a white
ecard and a buff card she is de-
vouting herself to giying all the
kids in N4 nervous breakdowns.
I'm rot saying this—an employee
is. Miss Crosswell may be a very
nice lady and a good supervisor,
for all I know, I'll go up and
meet her sometime.

From the 11th floor come a sug-
gestion that Miss Newberry be
transferred from the supervisors
to the maintenance department.
Now she's helping out the janitors
by walking around picking up
scraps of paper to make sure that
no notes are being passed around
with important messages like
“Can you lend me 40c for lunch?
T'll pay you back on payday.”

Her habit of whispering from
behind her hand to her assistant
is also making the whole section
jittery. And if the girls want to
take a deep breath of the beauti-
ful ‘spring air, one second comes
off their annual time.

Tidbits

Mildred Ogarsh, 3rd Floor East
Wing is rumored engaged . . .
Dotty Pershing from the 12th has
a crush on a handsome marine
. . Loretta, 3rd Floor East, is
still carrying that torch for the.
same coder (that's what she con-
fides to her pals).

FE. M. B. on the 10th floor. . .
Why don’t you either tell that guy
you'll go out with him or make
him stop asking you for dates?
. .. Odds are even money now
that you'll break down and go to
the movies with him . . . Lot's of
the boys are trying to get the
phone number of Blossom on the
10th floor . . . line forms to the
right. . .

Candidates for the best looking
gal at 346 Broadway are still
being accepted . . . Rita Goldberg,
10th floor clerk, Lily Kasten and
Evelyn Goldstein on the 11th, are
the latest entries . . . Come on
kids, make with the postcards so
we can announce the new cham-
peen in Veteran pulchritude . . .
and while we're on the subject,
some of the gals would like to
cast their ballots for the hand-
somest male in the building . . .
Go ahead girls, we'll be glad to

that

Power of the Coding Room or the

the gal who looks best in slacks
+. . you're wasting your time
boys. Her heart belongs to a guy
who's wearing Uncle Sam's best
quality tailor-made khaki uniform

. She was one of the first to
appear around the campus in
ladies’ trousers, , .

Hey!

I can still use more entries for
the super Vet-Gal race. Send in
your choice for:

The Prettiest

The most Vivacious

The one who looks best ins lacks

The best worker

The brainiest

The one most likely to succeed

The best liked

Just the name on a penny post
card will do, If you can send in
a photo we'll try to use it, If
you send in phone numbers too,
I promise not to get mad,

Mr. Reichert Says

The an who sits behind the
big desk on the 4th floor is fully
ia favor of our idea to pick out
the mostest gals in the building.
He won't express any choice of
his cwn—he’s not sticking his
neck out, but he's interested in
secing if the employees choice is
the same as his. He's noticed
that there are some mighty at
tractive girls on the premises.

Incidentally, if any of y boys
and girls decide you want to write
a letter to this column about your
entry, Reichert says it’s OK.

More Work Coming

There ts going to be an increase
in the work at Vets very soon,
Tho the staff is frozen, permission
may come through to do some

Jerry’s Letter

Here's more from Jerry Nazer’s
letter, which we began last week:

“Tired, sleepy, we were assigndt
to tents, and before we had a
chance to get all of the sleep woe
hoped to get, some character, who
had nothing else to do but blow
his brains out on a bugle, started
to do his stuff. ... I would't have
minded ‘hoogie-woogie,' but
straight ‘corn’ was too much arid
I arose and joined the shiveriag
group of ‘reasonable facsimiles of
soldiers’... the PFC had a more
liberal expression which will have
to be deleted due to technical rea-
sons...

“Special details were assigned
everyone, and before very long
we were called for our Classifica-

tion Tests, which ranged from
book problems, math, spell'ng,
word comprehension, to radio,

mechanics, ete. The group I was
in. qualified quite high . the
lowest grade being 110... . high-
est, 138; yes, I was one of the
lucky ones to achieve 138, (All
persons receiving 110 or higher
are eligible for Officers Candi-
date School.)

“When we got back, the PFC
general asked us who could type,
Several of us, expecting to secure
office details raised our hands
and received quite an ‘office de-
tail,’ that of scrubbing the kit-
chen! Suffice it to say, this
smart ‘city-slicker’ fell for it, too,
Before we were at the Recep-
tion Center very long, we re-
ceived paragraph numbers to
move to our Training Centers,
and each of us found ourselves on
a troop train going to an un-
named destination.

turned out to be Camp Croft,

most beautiful Infantry Replace-
ment Centers in the United
States.’

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

THE 2°¢ WAR LOAN DRIVE

IS ON!

America... you've

got to get tougher!

so far, many of us back home have

been fighting this war from an easy
chair. Many of us have bought War Bonds
out of extra cash, out of money we didn’t
miss too much. We haven’t been really
tough with ourselves.

But this war is a hard, down-to-reality
war, And many of our boys are dying in it.
We've got to buy MORE
So your government asks you to buy
Bonds and more Bonds—to get really tough
with yourself. We’re asking you to give up

the frills and “extras.”

We know how human it is not to make
sacrifices until the crisis drives us to it. In
England they felt the same way until the
bombs started falling.

Bombs are such persuasive things. But
just as persuasive ought to be the spirit of
our brothers, sons, husbands.

If you could see
Look at it this way—suppose you had a
magic carpet that could take you to Africa
and New Guinea, Suppose you could hear
the groan of American boys wounded, and
American boys dying. ... Say now, how
many Bonds would you buy?

That kind of war
THEY... are dying. And they will keep on
dying until we drown the enemy in an over-

Avett. — Let’s be frank about it...

whelming torrent of bombs, bullets, guns,
tanks, planes, ships, and shells.

That’s why we're asking you, in this one
month of April alone, to lend Uncle Sam 13
billions of dollars—by buying War Bonds.
13 billions of extra dollars—over and above
any buying that you’d be doing anyway!

A lot of money
Of course, 13 billion dollars is a lot of
money. It'll take sweat and tears to raise it.
Ill mean going without now. But also—it
will mean savings now—to buy later. It'll
mean giving up everything you can’t square
with your conscience, so that we, us, our
children, can have a better, more decent
place to live in when this war is won.

The drive is on
So during this month of April, if someone
calls on you to ask you to buy War Bonds
in this 2ND WAR LOAN DRIVE, will you
buy to the limit—and then buy more?

Better yet, will you go to your Bank, Post-
office, ‘or wherever you’re used«to buying
your Bonds—and buy NOW? Will you lend
extra money this month? Money that can
hasten the day of Victory? Money that can
help to save American lives,

Money buys money
Remember, what you're really buying with
your money is still more money. For after
all, these Bonds are money! Money plus!

Every dollar you put into War Bonds will
bring you a dollar plus interest.

So the more Bonds you buy the better,
for you. Americans — Get Tough — with’
yourselves — for your country.

There are 7 different types of U. S. Government Securities
se the ones best suited for you:

United States War Savings Bonds—Series E: The
perfect investment for individual and family say-
ings. Gives you back $4 for every $3 when the
Bond matures. Designed especially for the
smaller investor. Dated Ist day of month in which
payment is received. Interest: 2.9% a year if
held to maturity. Denominations: $25, $50, $100,
$500, $1000. Redemption: any time 60 days
after issue date. Price: 75% of maturity value.

244% Treasury Bonds of 1964-1969: Readily
marketable, acceptable as bank collateral, these
Bonds are ideal investments for trust funds, es-
tates and individuals. A special feature provides
that they may be redeemed at par and accrued
interest for the purpose of satisfying Federal
estate taxes. Dated April 15, 1943; due June 15,
1969. Denominations: $500, $1000, $5000, $10,+

months’ notice. Price: par and accrued interest.

men to make these contributions

Champ

Mark up another champ for the
Police Department. He is Patrol-
man Henry Wittenberg of the
32nd Precinct who on April 10th
won the National A A. U. wrest-
ling championship for the 191 Ibs.
class. Wrestling for the West
Side “Y," Wittenberg pinned his
opponent to the mat in one min-
ute and forty-two seconds, break-
ing several records in the process.

Though only twenty-four, Wit-
tenberg is a veteran at winning
titles. In 1940 and 1941 he cap-
tured the National A. A. U. title)
f@r the 175 Ibs. class and in 1940
he also won the N. Y. State A,
A. U. heavyweight title, beating |
contestants fifty pounds heavier. |
In 1941 he won the Nat Pendle-
ton trophy for the outstanding
wrestler in the country. 1942 saw
him inactive, the National meet)
being held that year in New Or-|
leans and wrestling not being one

of the more lucrative amateur)
sports. |
Wittenberg is captain of the

“Y¥" team and has led it to the
National championship in those
years in which it competed—1940,
1941 and 1943.

He's Some Athlete

‘Wrestling is only one of Witten-
berg’s accomplishments. At col-
lege he was also on the varsity
swimming team and track team,
But college was not all sports. At
City College where he received his
BS. in 190, and at Columbia
where he obtained his M. A.
1941, Wittenberg was a bi
student and graduated with hon-
ors, While attending college he
worked for the Park Department |
during the summer, first as life-
guard and later as sup
a pool,

He takes his wrestling quite
seriously. He spent his vacation
this year training for the wrest-
ling meet. Offered a lucrative
contract to enter the professional
ranks he turned it down, Vaude-
ville, he says, belongs on the
stage and not in the wrestling
ring

In contrast to his powerful
physique, Wittenberg is soft -
spoken and his soft blue eyes be-
speak a modesty—almost a shyness

that one does not associate with

wrestling champions, He is the

that I have just left (and where
I served the City for 11 years),
1,000 men out of a staff of 7,000
are in military service, During
my directing the War Relief Ac-
tivities, the employees of Welfare
alone bought last year three-quar-
ters of 2 million dollars worth of
bonds and stamps, have contribut-
ed over $23,000 in cash to various
relief agencies, and more than
1,000 men and women donated
their blood to the American Red
Cross, Add the above to the va
rious voluntary services of civil
servants to the Emergency Wat
Services, take into considerati.n
the additional work that fell on
their shoulders because of military
leaves, which call for hours of
overtime without pay, and you
have a picture of patriotic partici-
pation and activity that you wilt
not be able to equal in any one
field of private employment or en-
deavor. The record of patriotism
and devotion to the country and
our city, of the City employes
in the subordinate categories is
yet to be matched by many chal-
lenging that record.

Haye Right to Ta

“What is, however, more signifi-
cant in Commissioner Moses’
statement, is the attitude on the
part of some executives in the
City Government towards employ-
ees and employee organizations
who permit themselves to disagree
with rules, regulations, legislative
proposals and working conditions
enforced by their superiors, —
Whether or not some employee or-
ganizations were right in opposing
the per annum bill supported by
Commiesioner Moses 1s beside the
point. ‘The fact is that they have
a perfect right collectively to ex-
press their opinion relating to
bills affecting their working con
ditions, salaries, promotional op.
portunities, ete.

No Avenue for Grievances

“Unfortunately, personnel man-
agement in New York City, in
most of the City departments,
does not provide tormalized sen-
sible avenues for collective nego-
tiations and round-table confer:
ences between the employee or-
ganizations and their commission-
ers on matters dealing with the
welfare of the employees, the de-
partments, and the City. Because
of lack of foresight and sympa-
thetic understanding on the part
of executives, employee organiza
tions are forced to adopt means
of calling the public's attention to
their plight that are not always
conducive to harmonious relation-
ship between supervisors and su-
pervisees in our City Government.

“The public protestations on a
number of issues that could be|
settled within the departments ave
of ‘management making’ and tt
does not do to call this manifesta-
tion ‘bellyaching’ and let it go at
that, The grievances of our City
employees are too many to be enu-
merated here, Some are city-wide
and are subject to adjustment on
@ broad basis by the Mayor, Comp-

Name-Oalling

"Tt is time that the executives
of such a large employment unit
as the City of New York recog
nize the part played by employees
and their organizations in making
our city what it ja and give
thought to the creation of machin=
ery within each department that
would permit the employees and
their unions to discuss mutters
amiably with their superiors in-
stead of antagonizing the employ-
ees who are anxious to cooperate
by calling them ‘rdieats’ and
‘hbellyache every time they raise
their voices for the improvement
of their working conditions and
for the recognition of their rights
as citizens and patriots,

“Such remarks as the one made
by Commissioner Moges do not
serve for either harmonious rela-
tionship, proper personnel man-
agement, building the morale of
180,000 employees, or for @
Joint patriotic endeavor on the
part of all of us who want to work
together in this hour of national
rit,’

and is responsible for understand-

the agency to hose who seek or
are receiving help from the de-

eral, so that there will be un-

the agency decides to grant or

“In fulfilling these functions, it
is essential that the social inves-

Holidays

It was O.K. for Welfarities to
get an afternoon off to watch the
baseball game for the CDVO, but
when it comes to religious holi-
days it's a different story at Wel-
fare. Seems that any employee
in the department who wants
time off for the Passover holidays
or Good Friday may have it
When he asks for it he only has
to say whether he would rather
have it taken off his vacation
period or just forgot about being
paid for the day... . At the
same time, the City Council
passed a resolution allowing city
employees to have these holidays
off with pay. That's a resolution

Outside Jobs

With the new pay raises still
leaving plenty of space between
the cost of living and the amount
of money coming In, lots of Wel-
farities are looking around for
outside jobs. But the front office
refuses to come out and say that
it's O.K, to pick up a few dollars
after working hours. This, after
the Natilson case which started
in the Department of Welfare and
led to the highest State court's de-
cision that the city didn't own
your body and soul after business
hours, The LEADER polled the
city departments on this question,
‘The other departments answered,
in most cases, that there was no
objection to employees working
outside if it didn't interfere with
their efficiency at the City job.
That’s the gist of the court de-
cision, but Mr. A hasn't said yes
or no. Some time ago, the little
man who appoints Commissioners
said that he didn’t like the idea
of sharing his employees with

In a continuation of the survey
begun last week by The LEAD-
ER to determine how the vari-
ous New York City departments

feel about spare-time jobs for
their employees, the findings re-
corded last week were largely
confirmed: namely, that most de-
partments are abiding by the
Ccurt of Appeals decision which
granted to employces the right to
hold spare-time jobs on their own
time. Some department heads

and personnel officers hedged a
bit, but on the main issue there
was substantial agreement, with

ough. pre: view of the
growing manpower shortage, ef-
forts should be made to overcome
many of the normal objections to
employees engaging outside
employment after working hours,
It is commonly realized, however,
that workerg cannot do justices to
their jobs if they are required to
work the extremely long hours
that double employment might
entail. Such outside work cannot
be permitted to interfere with the

in

performance of City work, and
shoul! therefore, be restricted
both as to hours and to type.
“This problem has not arisen in

Borough Works

The Department of Borough
Works, of which Commissioner
Walter D. Binger is head, is

ded by the same policies in-

ed by the Office of the Man-
hattan Borough President.
Parks Department

The Parks Department person-

nel office says that “We are do-

ing nothing contrary to the Court

of Appeals decision permitting to

employees the right to hold jobs
in their spare time."
Sanitation
‘The only outright "No!" to the
question "Are employees in your
department permitted to hold out-
side jobs in their spare tite," came
from Commissioner \Wittiam F.
Carey, of the Sanitation Depurt-
ment, Informed of the court de-
cision which declared the Mayor's

order forbidding outside jobs to
be invalid, Carey responded
“What decision? I don't know

anything about a decision. Never
heard of it.”
Welfare
Commissioner Leo Arnstein of
Welfare wouldn't give a straigat-
forward reply, confining bimzelt
to the ambiguous statement that
no policy had been set by his de-
partment, Curiously, the decision
which brought this whole matter
toah d arose in Arnstein's own
department, now-famed
case of Nat In
this case, an employee who had
beon dismissed for accepting out-
side work took his case to court
and wor. in the Court of Appeals,
While Arnstein did not give a di-
rect answer, it is known that
many Welfare employees work at
other jobs on their own time; and

cepts the situation,

So far as State and Feders! em-

Fingerprint
Exam Brings

Protests

It looks as though the city list
for the position of fingerprint
technician will run into trouble.
One of the failing candidates,
Herman Siegel, who is an attor-
ney, plans to ask for an
injunction to prevent appoint-
ments from the list. He will
probably also request a new
examination, on the ground that
the grading on the present test
was questionab!

At the same time, Hélen M,
Sherburne, a fingerprint instruc-
tor, this week sent a letter to the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
ston challenging the examination.

Wrote Miss Sherburne:

“Being a member of the Inter-
national Asscciation of Identifica-
tion (LAL), a group of recog-
nized technicians, I feel qualified
to again challenge, in behalf of
my former students and myself,
the results of the practical test
givpn for Fingerprint Technician,

de 1, on June 20, 1942, Ample
time has been allowed for correct
answers to be formulated by those
charged with scoring the exa
ination, and fairness should have
been shown these technicians who
have given their time, energy and
money in preparing themselves
for this much-needed work,

According to Henry System

“This was supposed to be a test
in classification according to the
Henry System, which does not in-
clude any part of the extension.
The R and U, as shown in No. 1,
10 and 12 and 13 are extensions
and therefore incorrect. I should
like to have anyone prove to me
that a rule exists in the Henry
System instructing their use.
(Rating states any omissions of
R and U calls for a deduction of
7 points, and this immediately de-
ducts 28 percent from any cor-

You Can Borrow Only 25%
Of Sum Put Into Pension

Under a State law members of.
the Municipal Retirement Sys-
tem are allowed to borrow up to
40 percent of the amount’ they
have paid into the fund.

Recently, city employees who
needed a bit of cash and hopped
up to the offices of the retire-
ment system to get their loans,
were surprised to find that they
would only get up to 25 percent
of their contribution to the sys-
tem, instead of the 40 percent
which they have been getting
for the past four years.

Rulph L, Van Name, secretary
of the Retirement System,
that this new state of affal

status of the fund.

He blames it on the shortage of
errployees,
