IT ISN’T generally known, but
NYC Mayor William O'Dwyer is
a classical scholar of no little
attainment, He has occasionally
disconcerted his aides by quoting
correctly did maxims which they
misquote, including quotations in
Latin, .. . In private conversa
tion the Mayor uses an easy,
earthy, salty English glowing with
visual images. He has a habit of
making an abstract idea under-
standable by describing a simple
picture of a specific case to which
it applies. .,. He prefers to learn
by ear rather than by reading.

jects.” In these strong words, Dr,
Frank L. Tolman, president of
The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, has taken measures to
rally the full strength of the
48,000-member group for passage
of the Mitchell veteran preference
amendment,

This amendment, passed over-
whelmingly by the State Legisla-
ture, comes before the people in
the November elections.

Dr. Tolman’s letter, to officials
and functionaries of the Associa-
tion, outlined a program of action
on the local front. Such action,

comprising a State-wide educa~
tional and public relations cam-
paigns, will swiftly be passed
down through all the echelons of
public employees for action. It
includes establishing contacts with
newspapers and radio stations,
women's clubs and other organ-
izations. It includes, too, a con-
tinuous barrage of information
from several sources upon the
opinion-makers in each commun-
ity and upon the individual vot-
ing citizen, emphasizing the es-
sential fairness of the Mitchell
amendment. A strong effort will
be made to recruit veterans and

has proposed legislation, intro-
duced in the Council, which will
Permit members of the higher-rate
pension system, who entered the
Department after 1940, to become
members of the Article I system
of the New York Fire Department.
This is the six per cent system,
with widows’ benefits.

John P, Crane, president of
the UFA, in making the an+
nouncement on the bill intro-
duced by Councilman William Mc-
Carthy, of Brooklyn, said that this
was the result of “more than
four years of intensive campaign-

ing by the Firemen’s organiza-
tion to rectify the inequities of
the pension systems as they af-
fected members of the Fire De-

partment.”
Aided by Television
During the campaign that

started in 1945, President Crane
and the executive board have con-
ducted exhaustive surveys of the
various pension systems to show
by actuarial figures how the pres
ent high-cost pension system for
the new men was imposing hard-
ships.

During recent months President

Crane has met with Mayor O'-
Dwyer, Fire Commisioner Frank
J. Quayle and Ist Deputy Fire
Commisioner James Moran in an
all out effort to bring the pen-
sion campaign to a successful
conclusion, The UFA sponsored
a weekly television appeal to bring
the pension problem to the pub-
lic, through the program of John

STATE AND COUNTY NEWS

Attendant Called ‘Backbone’
Of Mental Hygiene Dept.

The Public
Employee

%y Dr. Frank LL. Tolman
President. The Civil Service Employees
Association, Inc., and Member of Em-

ployees’ Merit Award Board.

YOU ARE THE BOSS

wrote you last week about the requirement in Section 10
let Article 2 of the Civil Service Law that the State Civil
Service Commission makes rules from time to time to govern
conditions of employment, including attendance, transfers,
Army and Navy establishments when the Veterans Admini-
sick leave, time allowances and the like.

Conditions of employment are as important to the em-
ployee as salaries or pensions, for nearly one-third of his
life is occupied by his work. The Association, therefore, is
in constant touch with employees and h the Civil Service
Commission on problems of working conditions, We con-
tinually urge the Commission to perform its full duty of
establishing in the rules the best possible uniform working
conditions for all the public employees in the state,

There is a long tradition of complete autonomy and
separatism in the various departments. They do not like
ily accept rules of the Civil Service Commission, if
» rules are more than pious phrases or fatherly advice.
It has, therefore, been difficult to persuade the Civil Service
Commission to live up to its responsibility in establishing
and administering rules with teeth to bring about satis-
factory uniform working conditions,

What People Li

People like to be paid promptly. People like to be paid
for overtime worked at the order of their employ People
demand uniform hours of work. People like to be dismissed
from work when weather conditions are intolerable. People
like to be treated like people and not like criminals when
the bus breaks down and they are unavoidably late. People
like to have first aid and nursing care available and think
this should be arranged on a state-wide and not merely on
a department or a building basis.

People like to plan their vacations and not merely to
have the period of vacation imposed on them. People like
to know why their efficiency rating is low, why they are
passed in promotions and how they can prepare for a
career in the service,

What People Dislike

People dislike favoritism in any form. They have no
respecs for the clever little devices used to keep them in
their “place.” They like to sign the letters they write. They
want the responsibility and the recognition inherent in their
job, They don’t want a monopoly of the best jobs for any
political party, any sect, or any sex. They want maximum
opportunity and the minimum of red tape.

Based on Realism

the best administrators and the best person-
re realizing that business personnel manage-
1 service must both be based on a realistic
knowledge of human nature including the reasonableness,
the idealism, the hero worship and the irrational obstinancies
of the male and female workers. Effort must be equally
directed toward (1) developing fundamental good emplor
ment practices and (2) training understanding alert em-
ployees who will prove equal to their job responsibilities,

The job cannot be done by the administrators alone, It
will require the best working together of the management
and the workers. pm

You are the boss in the efforts of the Association to
obtain the best possible working conditions for all the em-
ployees. You tell us of actual conditions of employment. You
tell us about the sore spots in the service, Your just griev-
ances are our first concern. They give us the facts which we
use to achieve better conditions,

Address

In one of the most interesting
letters The LEADER has ever re-
ceived on the subject, an em-
ployee of the State Mental Hy-
giene Department discusses some
of the “deeper” aspects of the
Attendant’s life and work in an
institution. Because of the wide
scope and interest, the views of
Belhomme Nicoleau, of Brooklyn,
are printed in full. The letter
Jollows, and The LEADER will
welcome additional comments
trom Mental Hygiene employees.

In its June 14 issue The LEADER

ublished two articles dealing with
the food service for employees in
the State Mental Hygiene Depart-
ment and with the “pay and stan-
dards” of the State Hospitals’
Attendants. With regatd to the
welfare of the State institutions’
inmates, those articles were of
the utmost importance, and it is
to be hoped that the Department,
of Mental Hygiene has given them
due consideration,

Pays for Food He Doesn't Eat

As one of those employees who
have to pay for food they did not
consume, I am entirely in favor
of any change which would do
away with such a condition. Tb is
easy to understand the “irritation”
experienced by an employee who is
made to pay for meals which he
never saw or which he did not
care to eat, and the effects of this
“irritation” upon the employee's
morale should not be overlooked. A
meal ticket service, properly man-
aged, not only would give to the
employee the satisfaction of pay-
ing only for what he has actually
received but it would also save the
taxpayers money, as it would
eliminate considerable waste. I
cannot imagine any honest objec-
tion to such a change.-

In the matter of “pay and stan-
dards” for State hospitals’ Attend
ants, I wholeheartedly share the
views expressed by Frederick J.
Walters. Certainly the time has
come for the competent authorities
to adjust the standards of the
Attendants. But, as such an ad-
justment includes necessarily a
raising of the level of entrance re-
quirements for the position, it fol-
lows that the practice of “exami-
nations at the 4 tutions” should
be replaced by a “form of exami-
nation” more consistent with “the
value of the duties and responsi-
bilities” of the position.

The position of Attendant in a
State hospital requires, beside the
usual in-service training, more
general knowledge, broader ex-
periences, sounder judgment, and
altogether a finer personality than
do many other positions because
the Attendant does not have to
deal with inorganic matters or
with normal people, but with ab-
normal human beings, and because
his position does not consist of
one definite task, but rather of
the ability to cope instantly with a
large variety of happenings and
eventualities. Such tasks as keep-
ing a ward neat and tending to the
wants and comfort of the patients

are mere incidents in the daily
duty of the Attendant, Yet, by a
strange inconsistency, the entrance
requirements for this position are
among the lowest in the State
civil service, The only explanation
for this abnormality is that years
ago prejudice against State insti-
tutions was so strong that few
people would accept employment
in them, therefore the qualifica-
tions required for the job had to
be low enough to allow the hiring
of any applicants on a trial basis,
as it were. One result of this con-
dition is the costly comedy of the
“passing parade” of the unfit or
dissatisfied Attendants. But worse
than the waste of time, labor and
money caused by the “parade”
are the misconceptions which the
practice of hiring applicants first
and examining them after has in-
spired about Alttendants in gen-
eral, (Oddly enough, the most un-
fair comments about State hospi-
tal attendants come from parents
and relatives of patients who seem
to forget what they had endured
before they decided to commit
their kin to state institutions, and
although, in many instances, the
illness itself was due to their own
neglect and shortsightedness.)
Essential Aide

Here are a few more facts to
support the statement that a good
attendant is an “essential aide to
the recovery of the mentally ill.”

In some of ‘the best-staffed State
institutions there are fewer than
five doctors for more than 800
patients, Granting that each doc-
tor is exceptionally competent and
that he spends six hours a day in
the wards, the question is: How
much time can he devote daily to
each patient? Hardly a few-min-
utes. But the Attendant spends
eight hours each day with his
patients. He has ample time to
observe their behaviors, their at-
titudes, their peculiarities. He
tends to their wants and to their
comfort; he listens to their stories,
to their complaints, to their trou-
bles — whether real or imaginary
— while he disregards abuses, in-
sults, vulgarities. He laughs and
plays with them, although he is
aware that at any moment he
may — and sometimes he does —
get hurt by them. The Attendant
talks and ehats with his patients,
and this, in the words of one
Prominent psychiatrist, is invalu-
able because “there is no substi-
tute for talking with a patient.”
Beside being an_ observer, a lead-
er, a guiding influence for his :pa-
tients, a good attendant is also,
and first of all, 2 companion, a
friend, a confident, a pal for them.
In one word, but in more than one.
way, he is the key man,

Few Nurses.

Moreover, in certain State hos-
pitals there are virtually no Nurses
acting as such, The few graduate
Nurses who work there ‘are not
enough to go around, even in
charge of wards, let alone to at-
tend to routine nursing cares. As
for the affiliated Student Nurses
who spend one school term at cer-

tain State hospitals, obviously they
cannot be expected to do more
than a fraction of the work to be
done in the wards; besides, their
services are not always available,
And so, the Attendant, who is al-
Ways present, quite often is calleq
upon ‘to substitute for Nurse oy

The Public Interest

are prepared to assume new duties
and responsibilities. But those who
are unable to keep pace with new
conditions must content them.

But, whether or not it materializes
and succeeds, the obvious fact is
that for a long time to come the
Attendant will remain the pillar,
the backbone of the department,

What Goes Into Salary

As for the salary of a competent
Attendant, this should not be con~
sidered solely in terms of money,
but also of appreciation. When a
patient spits in the face of the
Attendant who is trying to clean
him or feed him, it takes more
than money to urge the Attendant
to keep trying again and again,
On the other hand, while some em-
ployees perform their duties in a
congenial atmosphere and in rela-
tive comfort, the Attendant has
to do his in an atmosphere of ag-
&ressiveness and sharpness, in the
constant expectation of some kind
of trouble. And again, while cer-
tain employees can be sent home
on account of weather conditions,
the Attendant has to carry on
under whatever circumstances. All
this would seem to designate him
for some kind of encouragement
other than money, However, as he
has to live and to support his
family in a reasonable comfort, a
Pay scale equivalent .to that of a
city fireman would seem appropri-
ate for him, An attendant who is
able to get another position in a
more pleasant ambiance than thal
of a state hospital is not going to
stick to the job by mere zeal.

MacDonald Outlines

Conference

WARWICK, Sept, 5 — Francis
A. MacDonald, chairman of the
Southern Regional Conference,
Civil Service Employees Associa-~
tion, this week outlined his views
of the “importance of conferences
in the employee picture.”

Mr. MacDonald stated that “the
full potential of the Conference
in helping to achieve new gains
for employees has still to be real-
ized.” He listed the following as
the functions of employee con-
ferences:

Educational Body

“1, The Conference is an edu-
cational body. It helps bring in-
formation on many matters of
vital interest to employees, ‘This
function should be enlarged, I
envision a time when the confer-
ence will conduct edu ional
courses that will help employees
in many wa including passive
promotional e¢ ms and learning
job-performar better.

Activates Employee

“2, The Conference helps ac-
tivate the employee for intensive
campaigning on specific 1s
Thus, the conference will pI

Functions

special role in helping to get the
Mitchell bill and better retire-
ment legislation passed, The con-
ference can help mobilize tecal
facilities persuade —_Jegislators
right on their home ground, bring
the local press around to see the
employee viewpoint.

Social Function

3, The conference serves an
important social function, It is
9 means by which the employees
in a sector of the state can get
together at intervals in enjoy-
ment of things they all like, and
can talk over their joint prob-
lems, This social function also
tends to tie the Association closer
together,

Liaison

“4, The conference is a Naison,
acting between Association head-
quarters, employees ab the local
level, and other employee units
elsewhere in the state, This uni-
fied approach, supplementing the
work done in Albany headquart-
ers, will become inet

ent during the coming
jon.’

“The association the
prompt establishment in State
and local governments of offi-

cial machinery to handle public
employee labor relations and to
provide for fair aud full hear-
ings and adjustment of griev-
ances,” he said. “It has spon-
sored legislation to provide this
machinery, the lack of which
seriously affects good employee
morale, This is a vital need that
the association will strive to
provide at the earliest possible
time. The membership support
of every civil employee is im-
portant to the success of this
undertaking,

“Unemployment insurance for
permanent state employees was
obtained by the Association, The
extension of this coverage to
employees of local governments
will be completed through coop-
eration with the members in
those units.

Legislation Achieved

“The salary, retirement, rein-
statement and other rights of
veterans was guaranteed by leg-
islation drafted by the .Associa-
tion and enacted into law at its
request during the war years,
The Association was outstanding

in championing veterans’ rights:
and welfare. The extension and
modification of veterans’ pref-

erence is one of the big issues
which the Association will help
to solve,

“It drafted and successfully
sponsored many legislative meas-
ures designed to assure seniority
rights, tenure protection, promo~
tional opportunities, transfer pro-
cedures and other refinements
necessary to good personnel prac-
tices in civil government, In many
governmental units such laws
have been overlooked or ignored,
"The Association has, during the
past two years, aided members in
many units of government to
insist that the civil service law,
rules and*regulations be adhered
to, Resort to the courts became
necessary in a few instances. The
Association counsel has main-
tained a perfect batting average
thus far on such court cases,”

What Now for
Fired U.S. Employees?

W iia is more insecure than Federal employment?
When 135,000 persons can be fired in one fell swoop from
Army and Navy establishments, when the Veterans Admini-
stration can drop other thousands, how hollow sounds all
this high-minded talk about a “career in government.”
Many of the employees being dismissed have more than
20 years of service with the government. They’ve built
their lives around work for the government, What now?
It many be that high national policy dictates such mass
firings. It is not the concern of this newspaper to deal with
such poli The lives, | ihood, and treatment of public
employees are very much the concern of this newspaper.
Let Congre:

1 at once p: a law placing U. S. em-
e ployees under the unemployment insurance system.
Thousands of those now being fired by the government are
being left destitute, They deserve this protection just as
much as do employees in private industry.

@.

Let additional consideration be provided,

D) by law, for
e old-time “status” civil service worke

3 Let the U. S. Civil Service Commission canvass all the
e Federal departments to find places for as many of the
dismissed workers as can be absorbed. Let there be as much
flexibility as possible in this s . It is a grave matter
to throw a man out of a job.
Let all dismissed employees be placed upon special
and let these lists be used to call the workers
i new jobs as they arise. And above
all, such lis t a sop to public
opinion, If a presidential ander is required to assure the
swift and constant use of these lists, then President Truman
should issue such an order,

5 Let provision be made to alter the retirement laws so

that Federal employees who are dismissed through no
fault of their own are not also deprived of this Deveson,
which means so much to so many.

6 Let all the available resources of government be uti-
sf lized to place the dismissed workers in private industry
jobs. These employees are nearly all skilled in some trade
or profession, Our economy can absorb them if the govern-

ment makes an earnest effort,

7 Any employee “riffed” (that’s the melancholy verb
« made out of the phrase “reduction in force’) ought to

be given extensive advance notice, in order to allow him

time to obtain another job, The employee organizations

should be asked their views of a proper severance period.

HERE'S AN UNUSUAL descrip-
tion of Governor Dewey by one
of the downstate politicos: “Dew- |
ey is @ supreme product of the |
collegiate era. He has taken the |
type of thinking we learned in
high school and college — the
topical outline kind of thinking—
amd put it to use in everyday
life. His speeches are like the
term themes in school, First
comes the outline — the roman
numeral, the capital leters, the
small numeral, the lower case let-
ters, everything in its place, Then
he builds his story around the
outline, He used to try court
cases the same way — even

brought his files into the court~
room, Most people think the
rules they learned in college
English I don't apply to every-
day life, where more rough-and-
ready standards are needed, But
Dewey transferred the whole col-
legiate system into his everyday
activities = and made it work.”

STATE AND COUNTY NEWS

Advice to appointing officers:
Do a good job in connection with
@ new employee’s probationary
period. In the State service that
period is, in general, three months.
There are some exceptions —
mostly longer periods and one
minimum of one month,

The advice is contained in a
discussion of\ the Probationary
period, in the Municipal Civil
Service Bulletin of the State De-
partment of Civil Service, the
New York State Conference. of
Mayors and the State Depart-
{ment of Education. Here it is:

“If the appointing officer de-
(ete penestine atari in oeasiel
on the day of appointment, ob-
viously there has been no on-the-
job test — no probationary per-
iod, To avoid such attitudes by
appointing officers and ineffect-
ive use of the probationary period
Civil Service Commissions and
Personnel Officers must be con-
tinually active in educating ap-
pointing officers to the worth-
while use of this test.”

Law Provides for Probation

The probationary periods which
are provided for in municipal civil
service rules have legislative back-
ing in Section 9 of the Civil Serv-
ice Law. This section of law
specifies that: “All appointments
. ++. in the classified service shall
be probationary.” The usual ex-
tent is three months but various
municipal and other commissions
have, with approval of the State
Commission, provided for a Iong-

‘What Employees Should Know

By THEODORE BECKER

WHEN SENIORITY “RIGHTS” ARE PRIVILEGES

ONE of the pet peeves of some |

critics of public employment is
the apparent importance attached
to seniority. They argue that if
you live long enough and manage
to keep out of trouble, you will,
by mere length of service, reap
the rewards that should rightly
be distributed on the basis of
competence alone, Despite this
opposition to the use of seniority
in civil service, length of service
is still an important factor, The
Civil Service Law in New York
State requires that “due weight
be given to seniority” in promo-
tion examinations (Sec. 16),
Seniority is also the controlling
factor, after veterans preference,
when lay-offs must be made due
to lack of work or funds, This
is mandated by the New York
State Constitution (Art, V, Sec,
6) and by its Civil Service Law
(Sec, 31).

Other Uses For Seniority

In addition to lay-offs and pro-
motions, however, there are other
uses to which seniority may be
but. For example, some depart-
ments set up “transfer” lists
(more appropriately called assign-
ment lists) for the purpose of
Assigning employees to vacancies
in local offices closer to their
homes, Where there is a rel-
atively large number of employ-
ees in the same title seeking as-
signment to the same locality,
the department will often grant
the assignments in the order of
relative seniority. One of the
Claimed virtues of seniority as
the test, instead of service record
or efficiency ratings, is that the
former is more objectively figured.
Length of service is relatively
easy to compute, Service record
Tatings, on the other hand, have
been assailed as too subjective
®% measure and one which is more
readily controlled by an unscru-
Dulous supervisor.

Right vs. Privilege

Tn any event, the tendency has
been in many instances to use
Seniority as the test for determin-
ing the order in which certain
Privileges will be extended to em-
Ployees. For example, choice of
lunch hours, or location of desks
in a typing pool may be granted
on the basis of seniority, Th

i 4

term “privileges” is used advised-
ly. Unless the choice is given as
@ matter of law, it is not a mat-
ter of right, but of privilege,
This principle was enunciated
by the Supreme Court in New
York County in a case involving
conductors in the New York City
transit system who had received
appointments from special mili-
tary eligible lists, They had been
previously certified but not ap-
pointed due to their absence on
military duty, The Board of
Transportation had given them
credit for seniority only trom the
date of their actual appointment
on the job in fixing their senior-
ity “rights” in connection with
the selection of runs, vacation
and similar benefits, such as pick-
ing tours of duty and time of
| vacation.
| The conductors urged that they
should have been credited with
seniority from the date they were
certified while on military duty.
They cited Section 246 (7) of the
New York State Military Law
which provided that “any such
Person appointed from such eli-
gible list or such special eligible
list as herein provided shall, for
the purpose of computing seniority
credit and training and experience
credit for promotion and seniority
in the event of suspension or de-
motion, be deemed to have been
appointed on the earliest date
upon which any eligible, who was
the lower on such original eligible
list, was appointed.”
Administrative, Not Mandatory.
The Court, however, disposed of
this contention in the following
language: “The assignment

transportation to a tour of duty
or to particular runs or the al-
lowance of a specific vacation
period is an administrative func-
tion, The petitioners show no
violation of the statute; which
requires that employees absent on
military duty shall be deemed
to have been appointed as of an
earlier date not generally for all
purposes, but ‘ for the purpose
of computing seniority credit and
training and experience credit for
promotion and seniority in the
event of suspension or demotion.’”

the employees of the board of|

er period for certain jobs. For
example, for a job which under-
goes seasonal variations, such as|
Custodian, a prebationary period |
of six months is frequently
deemed desirable. In addition lo-
cal commissions msy require a}
probationary period for original
appointments only or they may
require it for both original and
promotional appointments,

The purpose of the probation-
ary periods, as set forth in muni-
cipal rules generally. is to provide
a period during which the ap-
pointing officers may determine
“the probationer’s capacity and
fitness for the position.” In mak-
ing such a determination the rule
further provides that appointing
officers must “carefully observe
the conduct, capacity and fitness
of the probationer” and report
thereon to the Civil Service au-
thorities, These reports, on pre-
scribed forms, should not only
record the appointing officer’s de-
termination but should assist him
by providing appropriate guides
in the form of characteristics to
be evaluated.

Over a period of years the law
and civil service rules on proba-
tion have been supplemented by
numerous court decisions, There
are the cases of People ex rel.
Kastor v. Kearny. 164 N, Y., 64;
People ex rel. Ziezer v. White-
head, 99-Misc, 578, In these cases
it was brought out that the pro-

tects appointing officers against
unqualified employees; but at the
same time assures the employee
a definite period during which to!
demonstrate his ability, since he
may be dismissed during the pro-
bationary period only in accord-
ance with procedures applicable
to permanent employees.
When the Period Begins |
In the case of O'Grady v. Low,
77 N. ¥. 8, 661, the court found
that the probationary period be-
gins from the date the proba-,
tioner commences work and- not |
from the date of appointment.
In the case of Marasco v. Morse,
22 N, Y. S, 2d, 315, the court
stated that a probationary ap-
poiutment automatically becomes
permanent without further action
if the appointee js retained be-
yond the end of the probationary |
period, |
With regard to veterans, the
Appellate Division in the case of |
Losee v. Wallace, 259 App. Diy.!
7122, determined that disabled ver- |
erans must serve a probationary
term in the same’ manner as/|
non-veterans, The court pointed
out that Article V Section $ of
the Constitution gives preference |
to veterans on appointments but
does not exempt them from dem-
onstrating their merit and fitness
during probation, |
“No doubt,” says the Bulletin,
“one of the most questioned as-
pects of probationary procedures
is the basis on which a proba-
tioner may be dismissed at the
end of his term. As mentioned in
most rules on this subject, dis-
missal at the end of the term
must be based on a finding by the
appointing officer that probation-
er's conduct, capacity and fitness
are not satisfactory, In the case
of Marasco v, Morse, 22 N. Y. 8.
2d, 315, as well as in the Matter |
of Silverman y, Taylor, 270 App. |
Div, 1040, the court indicated
that the exercise of this discretion
must be made in good faith, |
Specifically, in the Matter of Pol- |
enski New York Law Journal,
April 16, 1947, and January 9,
1948, the court concluded: ‘It is

| clear that if the conduct, capacity

and fitness of the probationer are
not in good faith satisfactory, the
appointing officer may dismiss the |
probationer with the same free-
dom of judgment as he may ap-
point one of three Persons cer-

tified in the first instance by the
Civil Service Commission * * *,
On the other hand, the good faith
of the appointing power in dis-
missing the probationer is always
a consideration.’

Good Faith an Issue

“The only question to be de-
, cided is whether the action of the
respondent , was in good faith,
This resolves itself down to the
state of mind of the respondent
. at the time he discharged the
petitioner.’ Later on in the same
decision the court stated; Mere
suspicion is not enough, There
must be some substantial cir-
cumstances that point to the con-
clusion that the termination of
the probationer’s appointment was
a capricious act made in bad
faith for ulterior motives.

“There is also the

Supreme
in the case of
Copeland . Miller, Supreme
Court, Albany County, July 19,
1948, which touches on the prob-
lem of good faith. Here the court
decided that the claim of bad
faith in dropping the petitioner
was not sustained by the proof,
The court went even further, say-
ing, ‘Even if the court were en-
tirely persuaded of the... sat:
factory nature of his probation-

ary period of service which the
petitioner's proof suggests, no
judicial question is raised, Eval-

uations of this sort are for the
administrative agency and not for
the court. The judicial branch of
the government cannot undertake
to supervise in detail administra-
tive judgments, even if it were
equipped to do so, which it is not,
If the result is so arbitrary and
Unrer-onable that no sensible man
would make the determination
complained of, a judicial question
arises. But in a debatable field of
judgment, the decision of the ad-
ministrative officers must prevail.
All I find is a debatable field of
judgment in which the claim of
bad faith is not fairly sustained,

“From these cases,” continues
the Bulletii we must conclude
that dism: Is at the end of the

probationary period are required
to be in good faith and that good
faith is a triable issue of fact.
Even so, seems reasonable to
assume that the courts will sel-
subel tute the'r judg.

ment for

FEDERAL NEWS

Postal Clerk Head Backs
Protecting Career Jobs

Patrick J, Fitzgerald, president
of Local 10, National Federation
of Post Office Clerks, reported
that Congressman George P. Mil-
Jer of California presided at sub-
committee hearings on bills to
correct the injustices of the
Starnes Act which would give to
veterans retention rights over any
non-yeteran government employ-

ees, even though a veteran has
only a few days’ civil service
status, Mr, Miller heads a sub-
committee of the House Post Of-
fice and Civil Service Committee
which is considering mainly a
bill by Representative Arthur
Klein, of New York, to put seven-
year-service non-veterans on an}

equal footing with veterans.

“There is a lot of opposition
from the organized veteran groups
to any change in the present
law,” said Mr, Fitzgerald. How
ever, the rank and file yeterans
who knows the situation do not
feel that there is any justice in
displacing a career employee,
when that employee has longer

service.

“Our Local has fought for and
will continue to seek just rights
for veterans, but we cannot go
along with the idea of the vet-
eran who desires to turn out of
employment the man who has
loyally served his government 10,
15 and even 25 years, as has hap-
pened in some departments,”

What Miller Will Recommend

Chairman Miller said he would
recommend to his full committee
that January 1, 1937 be set as
the date in giving greater job
protection rights to non-veteran
careerists, Mr, Miller's proposal
is that all government employees
who had permanent status on
or before that date be allowed
to compete on equal terms with
veterans in future Government
reduction in force programs,

This idea” said Mr. Fitzgerald,
is Not designed actually to solve
the problem, as a good many
career men entered the govern-
ment service during the years of
1937, 1938 and 1939, who for one
reason or another are not vet-
erans and would be out of em-
ployment in any future reduction
in force.”

Psychologist Tes! Is Passed by 200

WASHINGTON, Sept, 5--More
than 200 persons, 143 ‘of whom
were veterans, passed the exam-
ination for Federal positions of
Research Psychologist (Grades
P-2 and 3) held by the U. S.
Civil Service Commission in May.
Notices of rating have recently
been sent to the 394 persons who
took the examination, almost half
of whom failed.

Positions located throughout
the country, having annual sal-
aries of $3,727 and $4,479, will be
filled, Applications for positions
of Research Psychologist (Ex-
perimental and Physiological),
and Research Psychologist (Per-

Comment

Postal Employee's Plaint
Editor, The LEADER:

I filed for the Mall Handler
exam in 1946, In February, 1947
I was given a rating of 88%. I am
working as a temporary employee
and I was hoping for a regular
appointment, but now there'll be
a new Mail Handler test which
will de away with the old list. If
there are so many openings, why
don’t they use the list they have,
which has so many thousands of
GI names on it?

Disappointed

New Regulation Ends
Penalty on Raises for
Suspended Workers

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 — The
U. 8S. Civil Service Commission
has revised its regulations to pro-
vide that suspension from a Fed-
eral position will no longer create
a “break” in service, which would
start a new waiting period for
within-grade salary advancement,
but will be considered as non-
pay status, Credit earned before
suspension is now creditable upon
return to duty, but the time on
suspension, as in non-pay status,
is not creditable for within-grade
salary advancement.

‘The Commission said that if
an employee serves for six months,
which is creditable toward within-
grade salary advancement, and is
suspended for an infraction of
the rules, such as continued tardi-
ness, safety violations, etc. he
remains on the rolls but in non-
pay status. After the period of
suspension, he returns to duty
and earns additional credit to-
ward within-grade salary ad-
vancement. This is added to the
six-month period earned before
suspension. Formerly, the e!
ployee would have lost the six-
month previous credit, and
started over again after his re-
turn to duty.

Eligibles to Replace
Non-Sfafus Engineers

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 — The
U. 8S. Civil Service Commission
has ordered the separation of all
war-service and temporary in-
definite employees in engineer
positions, grades P-2 through P-5,
in the Washington, D. C., area
whose appointments are not con-
verted to permanent by October
30. All types of professional en-
gineer positions are included ex-
cept highway and highway bridge
engineering positions, Grades P-2
through 4.

Persons eligible for probational
(permanent) appointments from
an Engineer examination an-

nounced for these positions will
replace non-status employees. The
examination closed June 30.

Civil Service of

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 — Re-
vision of civil service regulations
in language more easily under-
stood, was promised by the new-
ly-reorganized U. & Civil Serv-
ice Commission, Chairman Harry
B. Mitchell announced that the
following program will be pue
into operation immediately:

“1. The Commission recognizes
a need to simplify Civil Service
regulations, Every effort will be
made to reduce the length of the
regulations and to put them into
language that can be easily un-
derstood.

“2, The Commission proposes to
take immediate steps to encour-
age promotion programs in all
Federal agencies with particular
emphasis on seeing that all qual-
ified workers are given considera-
tion for advancement when there
are vacancies,

“3. Chairman Mitchell is con-
cerned with the need for more
concise and simple letters in an-
swering the Commission's cor-
respondence. The Commission
will stress to its staff that the

Its Jargon

letters give full and plain ex~
Planations in answer to questions
and that as far as possible tech
nical language be eliminated.

“4. The Commission will
strengthen and enlarge its test
development unit, with a view to
improving the written examina
tions that the Commission gives,
80 that they will produce qualified
employees with greater certainty
in a shorter time, This is in line
with the program to speed up the
whole examining process, as an+
nounced August 23.”

Chairman Mitchell emphasized
that a more rapid handling of the
Public's business with the Com-
mission, and faster action on the
Problems of Federal employees,
will characterize the reorganized
Commission,

Chairman

Examiner, The office of Executive
Director and Chief Examiner is
abolished, In its place the Chair-
man is empowered to appoint a
new Executive Director, whose
position would be in the com~
petitive civil service, The Chair-
man is designated by the Presi-

is the presiding head of the Com-

new plan provides that the full-
time personal assistants to the
Commission shall be appointed by
the full Commission and that the
regional directors and the heads
of major administrative units

appointed by the Chairman after
consultation with the other Com~
missioners. The Chairman will
direct the employees of the Coni-
mission in the performance of
their work, and the internal man-
agement of the Commission’s af-
fairs, He will enforce the civil
service rules and regulations, In
other words, he will be the real
administrative head of the Com~-
mission.”

He added that the merit system

of selecting public servants.

“It is not without its faults,
but no one has yet devised a
better method, and it daily proves
its superiority over the old spoils
system, as it has for more than
65 years.” he continued. “It is,
and can be, only as good as we
Americans make it. If we insist
that its principies be upheld then,
and only then, can the system
work with its full efficiency,

Wants Attendant List Used
Editor, The LEADER:

In the August 23 issue of The
Leader appears a statement that
the Male Attendant List is not to
be used by NYC for filling positions
as Railroad Porter, The article
states that “Sec. 14 of the Civil
Service Law provides that appoint-
ment shall be made from the eli-
gible list most nearly appropriate
for the group in which the position
to be filled is classified.”

Some time ago there appeared
in the press an article to the effect
that the Civil Service Commission

The Uniformed Fire Officers
Association is already making
complete plans for energetic sup-
Port of a bill to be introduced in
the Legislature, which convenes
in January, to require the filling
of Fire Department vacancies by
Permanent promotees.

Delegates of the UFOA to the
recent State Firefighters’ con-
vention at Saratoga and the State
AFL convention at Syracuse in-
troduced a resolution, which was
unanimously adopted by both
sessions, aimed to end the prac-
tice of having Officers and Fire-
men occupy positions of the next
higher title, in an “acting” cap-

acity, without the promotion that
should be made and without re-
ceiving the higher pay.
60-Day Limit
The resolution related to mem-
bers of paid Fire Departments in
the various civil divisions of the
State and set forth that many
members of the UFOA are work-
ing out of title without compar-
able compensation, although va-
cancies and promotion lists exist.
The resolution asked that a law
be passed making it compulsory
for appointing officers to fill posi-
tions by promotion.
In the case of any county, city,
town or village maintaing a paid

President Crane delivering per-
sonal appeals each week for sup-
port of the pension problem. The
LEADER advocated the plan
editorially,

In a meeting with Mayor O'-
Dwyer and Commissioner Moran,
the UPA president recommended
that the pension question be pre-
sented to the people of the city
of New York as a referendum.
The Mayor agreed this would be
the fairest and most equitable
way to resolve the question. As
@ result of this conference as well
as talks with Vice-Chairman Jo-
seph T, Sharkey, of the Council
the UFA referendum bill was
introduced last Tuesday.

With the news of the Uni-
formed Firemen's Association’s
success, the PBA quickly followed
and submitted its own pension
bills. relating to members of the
police force. The Police Depart-
ment is very fortunate in the
fact that it is believed hardly
likely that Mayor O'Dwyer will
pass the Firemen’s legislation

Object of Report

The main object of the report
forth what might be done

Wémen Correction Officers of
Forum Back O'Dwyer Career Plan

The Women Correction Officers
Council, 136, Civil Service Forum,
representing the female prison
officers on duty at the Wo-
man’s House of Detention in
Manhattan and in City Prisons
and Court Detention Pens
throughout the city, announced its
support of the re-classification
study now under consideration by
a committee consisting of the
president of the Municipal Civil
Service Commission and the Di-
rector of the Budget.

In urging the administration
to go through with the proposal,
the organization noted its long
experience over many years in
suffering from a pay inequity
which found women prison of-
fiers paid at far lower rates than
policewomen, ‘The fact convinced
its members of the need for out-
side experts to make detailed
studies of prison dangers and re~
sponsibilities,

In announcing its stand on the

proposal originated by Mayor Wil-
liam O'Dwyer, the group indicated
its recognition of the administra-
tion’s wisdom in acknowledging
the need for obtaining supplemen-
tary expert help in carrying on
the study, which is a vast pro-
ject.

In commenting on the ability
of the present Civil Service Com-
mission to provide in its classi~
fications with equal pay for equal
work, the organization called at-
tention to the fact that the Com-
mission had not initiated steps to
raise the pay of women Correc-
tion Officers to the salary levels
of comparable female police posi-
tions, in’ spite of the fact that it
had advertised and held a joint
examination for women prison
and police officers, resulting in a
joint eligible list for the two
similar types of positions.

Veronica McNamara is presi-
dent of the Women Correction
Officers’ Council.

the first and final divident of 45
per cent, amounting to $150,119.-

allowed claims in the liquidation
of the Firemen’s Cooperative En-
dowment Association, NYC Fire
Department, The Association was
4 voluntary unincorporated asso-
ciation of members of the Depart-
ment, organized in 1915, whose
primary object was to pay bene-
fits on the death of its members or
their retirement from the depart-
ment,

The Association became unable
to pay its benefits as they ma-
tured, largely on account of the
disruption caused by the recent
war; and on April 29, 1944 the
Superintendent of Insurance was
directed by the New York County
Supreme Court to liquidate the
association.

The liquidator filed his report
with the ourt in August 1947; but.
objections to the report were filed
by certain claimants, resulting in
4 delay in the distribution of the
assests until determination of the
question of the validity of the
‘wnendment to the constitution
and by-laws of the association ef-
fective as of September 23, 1942.
‘A referee appointed by the court
held that the rules and regula-
tions of the association for adopt-
ing amendments had not been
fully complied with, and that the
‘‘inendment was therefore invalid;

cision was to increase the liabili-
ties of the association by approxi-

this week by Robert Weisberger, |

Mr. Weisberger pointed out
that progressive increments at all
salary levels is a logical step, and
would give increased stability to
the City’s civil service structure,
He added that he favored such
increments in all civii service
positions, and that it would “tend
to attract into City service qual-

SERVICE LEADER :

THE NYC EMPLOYEE

~ Candidate

Was Every
Inch a Lady

By H, J. BERNARD

THE CANDIDATE couldn't lift
B dumbbell, so they knew she was
@ lady!

When the medical-physical test

‘as given by the NYC Civil S
e Commission in the Attendant
examination, it was in two parts,
one for Attendant (Men) and the
other for Attendant (Women).
One of the candidates just didn’t
Consider that what's in paren-
theses can make much difference.
‘When she appeared, wearing men’s
pants (not just feminine slacks or

ven masculine slacks) and with

air crew-cut and redolent of that
men’s lotion advertised for its
fomantic effect on the fair sex.
Besides, she had the flatness of
Chest which is a man’s.

So she got into the men's di-
vision and didn’t mind at all
being the only woman among 40
persons. Moreover, nobody noticed
@nything amiss, But when it came
time to lift the dumbbell, the can-
didate just couldn’t get started.
‘The light dawned and she was po-
litely told that she would have to
be tested with the women. She
smiled and left quietly, although
hot until she'd asked, “Will a
grand larceny rap keep me out?”

Social Investigator
Dilemma

Within about a week the Coni-
Mission expects to have the final
key validated in the Social In-
tigator examination, The num-
of provisionals keeps _in-
sing in this title in the Wel-
Department and the Com-
mission is anxious to promulgate
the list. Tt is expected that the
failures will run more than 70
per cent, but whatever eligibles
are obtained, they'll be the only
ones on hand until the next test i
held. President Joseph_A. McN:
mara said that the Commission
already has started work on that
test and that “it will be quite
different from the last one,” In
that test questions were based on
social science theories of welfare
administration long since dis-
carded in NYC, so-called social
therapy and pseudo-pyschology,
methods. The questions on the
mext exam will be more down-to-
earth, it is expected, although
they will not require knowlege of
the rules and regulation of the
Welfare Department.

‘The questions wil not be chacked
with the department.

Welfare Commissioner Raymond
M. Hillard blasted against the last
exam as not properly testing the
candidates, and was bolstered with
information that, on the basis of
the tentative key, more than 80

er cent of the provisionals in
that title in his department had
failed, That was particularly irk-
Some, as the training course given
to those provisionals didn't help
the criticism. But he found the
Commission readily accepted the
candidates.

A suggestion from another
Source that questions based
lar on what w taught in

that course, because experts in the
department itself had given the
course, met with no sympathy at
the Commission's office. The re-
jection of the suggestion was based
on the argument that exawina-

tions aren’t given to for the bene-
Mit of any particular group and
certainly not keeping provisionals

in jobs, “for if we ever started
doing that, we wouldn't be here
very long.
The idea this: “We don’t
write exams exclusively for pro-
visionals; we'll never write an e:
am to keep provisionals, We do
do not test candidates in open-
competitive examinations on the
es and regulations of a depart-
ay quote those rules
nd ask candidates
to interpret them, to evaluate in-
telligence, but not see whether
the candidates knew before what
the rules are. Such questions fit
into a promotion examination only.
We'll have a new examination, no
matter what happened in the ex-
amination recently held, Mean-
while we're having a study made
to ascertain just what did happen
in the last examination,”
