by the actuary, On the basis
of current available data, the
additional rates will probably
approximate 50% of he

example, if a member's norm-
al contribution rate is 4.50%
before electing, he will be re-

The higher rate purchases

How are contribution rates com
puted?
These are computed by the
actuary. When a member

enters the system, the actuary
must estimate what the mem-
ber is likely to earn during
his entire length of member
service. Normal ret ‘rement age
is now set at age 60. The ac-
tuary must, therefore, com-
pute a rate which will provide
the member an annuity at age
60 equal to 1/140 of his final

average salary for each year
of member service. This rate
is known ps the member's

normal contribution rate.

the view to presenting a united

is involved in transferring from
one pension system to another, a
matter that is of special interest
to Armory employees in the State,

described the work of the Associa-

pointed out that the mere in-

By Dr. Frank L. Tolman

WHEN YOU GROW 100 OLD 10 WORK

H.R. 6000 is a bill “to extend and improve the Federal
Old Age and Survivors Insurance System, to amend the
public assistance and child welfare provisions of the Social
Security Act, and for other purposes.”

As I stated in this column last week, I personally favor
the extension of Social Security to make reasonably secure
all those who cannot obtain security through their own
efforts. I believe the majority of the members of the Asso-
ciation are equally in favor of a more nearly adequate and
a more nearly universal security for all workers,

An Ultimate Objective

There are those who would spread security over the
entire population, whether rich or poor, whether secure or
insecure. This, of course, is not proposed in H.R. 6000, but
it seems to be the ultimate objective of some of the most
ardent proponents of the bill.

I can see no adequate reason to squander federal or
state money, derived from a tax on worker’s wages and so
badly needed to secure peace and plenty by productive means,
in order to dispense handouts to those who already have
adequate old age security. In particular, I can see little
merit in duplicating for those same persons existing retire-
ment systems of the states and the municipalities by a
Federal Old Age Plan. It seems to me that a double-headed
house of security divided against itself would not long stand.

While the plan is a Federal plan, the State is required
to pay the same relative amount as is paid by a private
employer and the public employee pays the same payroll
tax as is paid by the private worker. The administration
would be entirely under the new Federal Security Adminis-
tration, proposed as the successor of the present Social
Security Board,

An Inconsistency

It seems to me inconsistent to exempt completely in this
bill the largest group of civil service employees working
under a Retirement System (i.e., Federal employees) and
to include state and municipal employees with a pension
system.

Of course, the inclusion of such state and local employ-
ees is conditioned on the acceptance of the plan in a refer-
endum vote. I do not think the state employees would ap-
prove such a plan, but I am not sure that under the rious
coverages they might not be forced in, and judging by the
propaganda urging that two pension systems are better than
one (when as a matter of fact they are generally much worse
| than one plan) I am not sure the decision would be based
on the merits of the case,

Limited Systems—Unlimited Nuisance

New York State year

go established one limited pen-
system after another. For years the State has attempted
close the limited systems and to operate one uniform
State-wide retirement plan. This has not been easy, nor is
the solution yet found. The limited systems have become
unlimited nuisances, The proposed Federal plan would, I
fear, become even worse.

It seems probable that one of the many amendments to
H.R. 6000 removing the optional inclusion of State and
local employees working under a retirement system will be
adopted in the Senate. The House of Representatives last
year refused to adopt any similar amendment, so the bill
will probably go to a conference. I am satisfied with the
progress made, but it would be silly to rest where we are.

Do you want to take a chance on the future of your
Retirement System? That is the question as I see it,

Of UPW in State Service

Bv H. J. BERNARD

A resolution asking Governor
Thomas E. Dewey to instruct his
Commissionets, personnel officers
and others to have no dealings
whatever with the United Public
Workers of America, was adopted
unanimously at a meeting of the
NYC chapter of The Civil Service
Employees Association. The meet-
ing was held at Willy's restaur-
ant, Beekman and William Streets,

: Mr, Culyer cited the Labor Re-
lations plan, which the Governor
will institute administratively, as
an example of a gain achieved
solely by the Association. While
it was not all that the Associa-
tion had asked, it was a definite
forward step, he added.

“Even though we're 40 years
old we still have growing pains,”
declared Mr. Culyer, in discussing

deserves the fullest credit for its long campaign, under-
taken 14 years ago, to have this important advance enacted
into law.

But the 55-year bill does not end the retirement needs
of public employees under a modern system of government.
It is significant how private industry is catching up with,
and even surpassing, in some respects, the retirement attain-
ments of government. Thus, only last week, an agreement
was signed by Consolidated Edison Co. providing for a $125
a month minimum pension, with the employer paying the
cost. This shows the way for the next advance in old-age
security for public workers.

The Minuet
In Schenectady

HE tragic little minuet in Schenectady continues.

A new administration comes into office. It preaches
economy. It fires long-term career civil service employees.
“Pure necessity,” it says, with appropriate breast-beating.

Then, it hires other employees, in number more than
the number of civil servants dismissed; and in salary more
fulsome. Only it appears these new employees vote right.
Economy?

Then, the Councilmen grant themselves a raise in pay.
Economy?

To a representative of this newspaper, the City Man-
ager moans that it is impossible to stretch his meager funds
—a budget which “is no budget at all,” he says.

He does not add that a jukebox tax was removed be-
cause the tavern owners were able to intimidate the poli-
ticians. He does not add that ‘poor, poor Schenectady is, ac-
cording to reputable statistics, in better financial shape than
nearly any other city of its size in the state. He does not
add that the present administration has rebuffed all efforts
of the employees to explore ways and means of avoiding
the dismissals.

Economy?

Now to the right, now to the left. Now turn around. |
Tread lightly. The Schenectady minuet continues.

Decisions on Wage
AppealsTakeTooLong

T is taking too long for decisions of the State Classifica-

tion and Compensation Board to come down. A deci:
on the case of civil service trademen—roofers, tinsmiths,
painters, and other workers—promised months ago, has still
not come through. The claim of interviewers and senior
interviewers in the Division of Placement and Unemploy-
ment Insurance, a claim that appears eminently just, has not
yet been processed, although it was filed last August and
heard in September. The request of hospital attendants in
eriminal hospitals for new consideration based on the kind
of patients they deal with, is still, after many, many months,
without decision.

The LEADER knows that the Classification and Com-
pensation Board is doing a good job. It works with com-
mendable speed, its employees are competent, its director
is a conscientious, hard-working, intelligent official.

But somewhere along the line the appeals get held up.
After an appeal has been heard by the Board and a decision
made, it goes to the Budget Office. Thi is reason to believe
that this is the point at which the claims are stymied.

The law gives an over-riding power to the Budget Di-
vision. It has been, and remains, our opinion that this power
ought to be reduced; at the very least, a decision made by
the Classification Board—a fact-finding body—ought to be
public information, -

In any case, whether the decision is pro or con, whether
it is made by the classification men or by the budget men
or by the two together—in any case, employees are surely
entitled to this: a swift response to their pleas. We recom-
mend that the State officials involved in this matter get
together and work out a modus operandi which will pro-

Citizens Budget Group
States lis Case on
Police-Fire Pens
Editor, The LEADER:
The Citizens Budget Commission
favors every benefit for firemen
and policemen possible within
the framework of the City’s fi-
nancial structure, A principal
point in the Commission’s recent

study of the police and fire pen-'

sion systems was that although
the proposal of the uniformed
men would appear to establish a)
system with generous benefits, it
would in the long run, do more
harm than good to the men them-
selves,

are
new item fit in?

(4) The State Constitution guar-
antees pension benefits, It does not
guarantee wage levels. If the City
cannot meet the strain of sup-
porting unsound pension systems,
it will have to cut costs, at some-
one’s expense.

(5) The younger men will suf-
fer most, They will surrender a
sound actuarial system; they
have lost its reserves of $17,000,-
000; they will have to pay. in one
way or another, for the deficits
of the unsound non-actuarial
systems.

These are considerations that
are prominent in the Citizens

the public service. It opposes the
raising of false hopes of easy
money or of a larger return than
the City's financial position can
guarantee. It has studied the
City’s fiscal affairs long and close-
ly. Its ‘broad, over-all view of New|
York's financial problems enables
it to estimate accurately what the
City's resources can be stretched
to cover.

What the Changes Mean

The proposed changes in the
pension systems affect the wel-|
fare of the indtvidual fireman and;

sented with that thought kept)
well in the foreground, The re-
port pointed out that reopening
the non-actuarial pension systems

chain reaction:

Service LEADER quotes President
Crane as saying that the morale
of the Fire it “would
be immeasurably enhanced, with
even greater efficiency of opera-
tion, if the pension bills were
adopted.” The Commission
Neves, on the other hand, that
the above series of reactions would
inevitably lower morale in both)

JUSTICE FOR FIRED
BLIC WORKERS
Editor, The LEADER:

Before the legislature ends its
present session it would do well
to approve the liberal legislation
sponsored by the Civil Service
Employees Association permitting
public employees to present wit-
nesses in their behalf, and to be
represented by counsel at hearings
on charges which may lead to dis-
missal. The bill in question was
introduced in the Assembly by
Mr. Foy and is numbered 1687.

The public generally and most
lawyers in particular, find it diffi-
cult to believe that under the

State Civil Service Law, of having
@ hearing, and, if such a
is granted, the opportunity of

ter of fact, of even knowing who

what their testimony is. Of

will | q fair-minded administrator

not follow the letter of the law
and may grant these rights vol-
untarily, as the NYC Welfare
Commissioners have done for
years.

Some of us still recall the case
of a highly efficient Fire Depart.
ment officer who was placed on
trial for allegedly permitting «
Christmas party in his fire house;
public pressure forced a just con~
clusion of that case. Or perhaps
we can still remember the case
of the six policemen who

were
be-|sent to Staten Island after they

had made a necessary gambling
arrest which did not please Tam~
many leader James J, Hines just
before he was jailed; or of ®
State Corrections Department
employee who had to resign when,
after making suggestions which
were lauded by the then Mayor
LaGuardia for improvement of
her department, she was found
“inefficient” by her dey

and transferred from Manhattan
to Buffalo, Our most efficient and
desirable employees who stand in
the way of political authority are
subject to unfounded charges
which can lead to dismissal, if the
administrator so wills it, as the
employee has no rights of counsel
or witnesses; appeals rights are
exceedingly limited, except to vet~
erans, As stated, it is hoped that
the legislature will pass the Foy-
Dalessandro Bill, and that the
Governor will sign it, even if that
would mean the breaking of pree
cedent.

FEDERAL NEWS

Believed

WASHINGTON, March 20 — A
new plan to tighten the leaves of
1,500,000 Government workers is
being drafted by Senator Paul
Douglas (D, Ill.) who -calls the
Present leaves “excessive.”

“I feel that a graduated system
of annual leave based on years of
service would be a better system
than now exists,” he said. “The
older employees both need and de-
serve a longer vacation than a
young beginner.” He feels that his
plan would save the government
nearly $100,000,000 a year.

Senator Douglas originally
fought for a plan which would
give all government workers 20
days vacation and up to 12 days
sick leave annually, but this pro-
posal was beaten down in the Sen-
ate. The Senator's new plan is ex-
pected to be more liberal.

‘The whole move to curtail an-
nual leave is running into oppo-
sition, however. The plan is to re-
duce it from the present 26 days
to 20, but leaders in the Congress

Greatest NYC Opportunity
Is Police Service, Says
Civil Service President

By JOSEPH A. MeNAMARA
President, NYC Civil Service Commission

The Patrolman (P. D,) exam offers an unparalleled opportunity
to the candidates for a real career in City service with excellent
Promotion possibilities.

The Police Department is the only one in which a new appointee
has the possibility of rising to the highest competitive position in
three jumps. The promotion ladder is from Patrolman to Sergeant
to Lieutenant to Captain. The higher positions are by assignment,
therefore in four steps the new entrant could become Chief Inspector, |

Another incentive is the fact that in an entire generation only
three clvilians—George Warren, George V. McLaughlin and el
Whalen — have been the Police
Commissioner. All the others have
been members of the uniformed
ranks, including the present Com-
sioner, William P. O'Brien.

The position of Patrolman is
symbolic of the American idea of
Jaw and order. The department is
renowned for its bravery and de-
votion to duty under any and all
circumstances, no matter how try-
ing or perilous. Duty even beyond

This is the last Patrolman exam
that will be held until 1954.

Fire Bills
Active in
Legislature

ALBANY, March 20—Legislation
sponsored by the Uniformed Pire-)
men’s Association of NYC, of
which John P. Crane is president,
was making headway in the Legis-
lature as The LEADER went to

ress,

4 The Mitchell-Wilcox bill, to re-
quire the filling of vacancies by
Fire departments, is statewide in
application. The UFA is particu-
larly interested in getting the leg-
islation enacted so that the prac-
tice of having officers serve
higher “acting” titles at the lower
pay of their regular rank will be
stopped. Asursances have been
given to the UPA that this bill
will be enacted.

Retirement Bill

‘The Greenberg-Brook bill to au-
thorize members of the NYC Re-
tirement System, on appointment
to the uniformed force of the NYC|
Fire Department, to transfer their
annuity contributions and pension
credits to the Fire Department Re-
tirement System is slated for en-
actment.

Heart Sufferers

The Halpern-Carlino bill, which
would allow sufferers from heart
ailments and related physical de-
fects to be assigned to light duty,
on the ground that their condition
is the result of their employment,
has been reported favorably by
committees of both the Senate and
the Assembly.

P. W. LEGION MEETING

The NYC Department of Public
Works, Post 1222 of the American
Legion will hold an open meeting,
“Joe Swift Night.” at the Legion
Hall, 238 William Street, New
York, N. Y., on the night of March
23, 1950.

Council Members Canvassed

All members of the Council are
being solicited for of the
Project to add 1,500

“The public realizes that crime
ean be prevented by adding more
men to the police force but it
doesn’t realize that life and prop-
erty can be saved by adding more
men to the fire force,” said Presi-
dent Crane. “The public is un-
aware of the serious shortage of
firemen, but as it learns the
facts from the solicitors of the
Eligibles Association, the UPA and
the press, it responds enthusiasti-
cally. We are happy to know that
an informed public invariably
helps us to achieve our goal. That
is why our educational campaign
is being so aggressively con-
ducted.”

President Morse was elated at

‘would go over the top with a bang.

Pay of Provisionals

(Continued from Page 1)
Jobs through political district
leaders.

Statement by CSRA

‘There are still some 16,000 pro-
visionais in NYC service.

“The problem of replacing these
temporary (provisional) workers is
made still more difficult by the

nny-wise-and-pound-foolish pol-

y of paying provisional employ-
ees on appointment from civil ser-
ice lists less than they had been

paid as provisionals,” the Associa-
tion says.

“The City will have grave dif-
ficulty in obtaining permanent

employees as long as it continues
to give provisionals the same sal-
ary increments as permanent per-
sonnel and then drops them to the
beginning salary (sometimes a
drop of several hundred dollars a
Year) as soon as they attain per-
manent status.

{ployees Organizing Committee has
|a plank on the subject. One of its
demands, to be made at the public
hearings on the budget, is that
provisionals shall retain the $250
permanent pay increase they now
lose on attaining permanency. The
Organizing Committee also favors
retention of inctements by such
provisionals.
MeNamara Reports

President Joseph A. McNamara,
of the NYC Civil Service Commis- |
sion, said that the total number of
| provisionals in NYC service was
| 16.307 as of March 1, a decrease
of about 11,000 from the 28,000
peak of October, 1948. He pointed
out that during that period the
City had made about 10,000 per-
manent appointments.

There are 11,188 provisionals in
the City departments and 5,119 in
the Board of Transportation. |

Pay

of 6,000 Hinges on

Pending Court Decision

The pay of about 6,000 NYC
skilled and semi-skilled mechanics
is at stake in @ case argued be-
fore the Court of Appeals. Deci-
sion is expected any day. In this
ease, laundry workers in the De-
partment of Hospitals seek the
benefit of the pay rates prevailing
in private industry. A section of
the State law says that certain
workers should receive the same
rate of pay as those doing like
work in private jobs.

NYC applies the benefit of the
Labor Law to mechanics, laborers,
skilled trades workers and others
engaged on construction, recon-
struction, maintenance and re-

ments with the City for an annual;
wage, instead of taking action un-
der the Labor Law.

The decision in the Pinkwater

case would affect others as well,
including some on which hearings
already have been held, like the
complaint of the auto enginemen.
Three hearings to be held this
month involve the same issue now
before the State's highest court
They are:

March 27—Rubber Tire Repair-

er. The jobs are mostly in the
Police and Fire Departments.

29—Compositor and

Printer,

March 31—Upholsterer. There i
only one NYC employee occupying
this title.

The hearings start at 2 p.m. and
are conducted by Assistant Deputy
Comptroller Morris Paris, Other
hearings over which Mr. Paris will
preside this month, concerning
which there is no denial of the
fact that the Labor Law applies,
are?

March 23—Carpenter.

March 28—Steamfitter.

Hearing? start at 2 p.m. and are
held in Mr. Paris's office in the
Municipal Building.

placement of public works. The
Present case raises the issue of
whether employees who don’t ac-
tually construct or repair public
works, are to gain the same bene-
fit. Comptroller Lazarus Joseph
ruled against the laundry workers,
and the Appellate Division unani-
mously upheld him. Now the case,
known as Pinkwater versus Jo-
seph, is before the State's highest
court.

About 12,000 employees of NYC
come under the Labor Law provi-
sions, Most of them are paid on
the basis of decisions by the Comp-
troller; others have signed agree-

Local NYC Activities

The activitites in the NYC area
are being stimulated by a group
including Patrick J. Brady, pres-
ident of the American Civic Em-
Ployees Union, who has just been
appointed local representative of
the national Organizing Commit-|
tee; Raymond E. Diana, former
secretary of the citywide Civil)
Service Forum, now director of}
organization of the Organizing)
Committee in the NYC area, and}
Stephen S, Gorey, of the Brook-
lyn Borough President's Office,
executive secretary of the NYC
Organizing Committee. Morris
Jushevitz, secretary of the NYC
CIO Council, has been a guiding
figure in the efforts of the new
group.

Aim to Capture UPW Strength

‘Throughout the country similar
activities are being carried out,

State is aimed at capturing the|

| former UPWA membership. Em-|

| ployees in the Department of)
Mental Hygiene, formerly in the
UPWA, are being solicited, also

sanitation workers in Buffalo and

| office workers in Lackawanna.

The UPWA was expelled from
the CIO on grounds of commun-
ist. sympathies of its leaders, and
the present nationwide effort is
to bring the right-wing members
into the CIO, besides augmenting |
the CIO membership with em-|
ployees who withdrew from other
groups, such as the Civil Service|
Forum in NYC and State jurig-|
dictions.

Federal Group Lined Up

The March 24 meeting will hear
@ report from Mr, Diana on re-
cert gains in NYC. Employees in
the NYC Department of Hospi-|
tals and Correction in particular
have been lined up by him, as well
as an entire Federal group in the
Veterans Administration in NYC. |

Mr. Diana will also reveal at|
meeting detailed plans for

expansion of organizing
work to bring more members into
the CIO who are opposed to the
left-wing UPWA.

Civil Service

Who Has It?

The civil service scoreboard in
the U. 8. is as follows: 20 states
have comprehensive civil service
programs; 25 have merit systems}
covering agencies administering
federal grants in aid and 3. include |
some other departments. Of the|
808 cities with populations of more |
than 10,000, 303 have all employ-|
ees under civil service and 317
have partial coverage. County civil
service programs lag somewhat be-|
hind. Of the 3,069 counties in the|
country, 185 have civil service. Al-|
most 95% of all federal employees |
are in the classified service,

Testing Hospital

Attendants

The Mlinois Civil Service Com-
mission has tried out another
new testing technique in an ex-
amination given for hospital at-
tendants who work with mental
patients. Following a short writ-
ten test, candidates were inter.
viewed by oral boards composed
of a nurse and psychologist or
a psychiatric social worker. Six
Photographs showing such at-
tendant-patient relations as an
attendant holding a patient, per- |
suading a stubborn patient, and |
atempting to stop a disagree- |
ment, were used in the inter-
view. In disoussing the pictures, |
candidates revealed attitudes |
and reactions which were evalu-
ated on a rating scale according
to their degree of desirability or

undesirability.
How Many Holidays

An Italian act of 1949 tatro-|
duced 16 holidays with pay for|
public workers and two additional |
days with reduced working hours.
Oj the 16 holidays, 11 were re-
ligious festival days... . In France,
the ‘national railways grant em-
ployees 4 days with pay to get
married but only 2 days to get

Public Relations

A Canadian public employee
union, the Saskatchewan Civil
Service Association, recently
made a novel public relations
experiment in an effort to build
public understanding of the
work performed by civil service
workers and support for their
legitimate aims and aspirations.
For 13 weeks the Association
sponsored a radio program dra-
matizing a crucial incident in
the life of a famous person.
Each story was narrated by «
well-known actor and the un-
jon sponsor's message was tied
in with the theme of the drama,
For example, Tallulah Bankhead
told how Helen Keller, though
blind and deaf, was able to over-
come her handicap and lead a
full, productive life because she
received patient and persever-
ing help from her teacher. When
the drama was completed, radio
listeners heard about the work
done by today’s staff of carefully
trained civil service teachers at
the Saskatchewan School for the
Deaf.
