| Service

The Municipal Civil Service
Commission will release the first
job transfer list today (Tuesday,
April 1). The list contains ap-
proximately 200 names of city
employees who, for one reason or
another, desire to transfer to
similar positions in other depart-
ments.

Compilation of the first list was
completed over the week-end. The
list will be distributed to the ap-
pointing officers of all city depart-
ments and they will be asked to fill
vacancies, whenever possible, by
transfer rather than from eligible
ists.

Employees who desire transfers
must submit their names to the Civil
Commission on _ special
forms. ‘They must obtain the ap-
proval of their department head be-
fore submitting the forms.

According to the plan of the Civil
Service Commission, lists of em-
ployees desiring transfers will be
compiled every three or four months.
However, the Commission admits its

Hizzoner
Emerges From
‘Budget Retreat

Mayor LaGuardia will emerge
from his annual “budget retreat”
today (Tuesday, April 1), and pre-
sent the city with his new budget
for 1941-42, No details are available
about the budget prior to the
Mayor's official announcement this
morning.

However, it is pretty certain that
the requests of department heads
will be drastically cut. The total
amount asked for this year was
50,000,000 more than last year, and
with the city’s income remaining
more or less fixed, there doesn't
seem to be a way to meet the in-
creased requests.

Following the announcement of
the Mayor’s budget, the Board of
Estimate will hold public hearings
on it from April 7 to Aprik17. City
employees are already girding for
a fight and this year’s Board of
Estimate hearings, from all reports,
will be stormy sessions.

When the Board gets through with
the budget, it goes to the City Coun-
cil and that body discusses it dur-
ing the month of May. Then it goes
to the Mayor for final OK and must
be signed by all parties on June 15.
It goes into effect July 1,

program is an “experimental” one,
and officials will not say whether
they believe the present method will
solve the long-standing difficulty
employees have experienced in
changing jobs.

The Civit Senvice Laven carried
on a vigorous editorial campaign
last year calling for a simpler
method of effecting job exchanges.
‘The Commission's current attempt
is an outgrowth of this campaign.

The Municipal Civil Service
Commission has put off for four
weeks all discussions of the type
of physical test it will give to
fireman candidates this summer,
This action followed the post-
ponement of the test by the
Mayor for this month.

An outline of the tentative pro-
posals for the physical events as
submitted to the Commission by Pro-
|fessor Francis Patrick Wall, of
NYU, was published in the past three
issues of The Leaver, These pro-
posals are not expected to be al-
tered in any important detail.

However, one part of the physical
exam, the coordination test, has not
been discussed at all so far. The pos-
sibilities are that the Commission
will follow its experience on the re-
cent sanitation man exam and use

Fireman Exam Postponed
But List Will Be Ready When Needed

| a test somewhat similar, except that
Fire Department equipment will be
used.
List Ready by Year's End
Despite the delay in announcing
the exam, the eligible list probably
will not be postponed for any con-
|siderable period, Paul J, Kern,
president of the Commission, told
‘The Leaver this week that he hopes
to have a new eligible list ready by
|the end of this year. That would
| mean that the written exam would
| be given in July or August and the
physicals in September and Octo-
|ber. The weather would still be
warm enough to allow for giving the
physical events out of doors in the
Jatter two months.
Additional important information
about the fireman exam will appear

Drafted public employees in

The story of pay for drafted em-

one, Its. theme—high hope that

blazed weaker and weaker with each
passing day.

Lehman Asked Pay Difference

In an early address to the Legis-
lature, Governor Lehman called for
full payment of the difference be-
tween civil and military pay to all
drafted public workers in the State:
Bills to effect this were enthusiastie-
ally thrown into the hopper at the
very start of the session, but nothing
has come of them,

An exclusive report of the LeapEr
two weeks ago had it that a bill to
give 30 days’ pay would be substi-
tuted, The Ostertag-Page bill called
for such legislation, along with other
guarantees for draftees, Last week
the salary clause was suddenly re-
moved after a number of local juris-
dictions throughout the State had
protested, As partial balm for the|
elimination of the bonus, the Legis-

lature has provided full death bene- |

fits for drafted employees. The bill
as it now stands will probably pass,

Getting Back on U.S. List

The Civil Service Commission
has eased its rules to give those
ms who were involuntarily
rated from the federal ser-
vice since June 30, 1939, another
chance to get their names on the
replacement list,

Thousands of former federal
employees failed to get their
names on this list—and conse-
quently missed out on getting a
defense job—simply because they
either didn't know the list ex-
isted or else they were ignorant
of the rules governing it.

These persons now will be given
another chance to get on the pre-
ferred list for defense jobs if they

make their applications before May 1.

The list was set up by presidential
order to give persons. involuntarily
separated from their jobs’ and who
didn't hold Civil Service status a
chance for Civil Service jobs in de-
fense agencies for the duration of the
emergency. WPA project workers
aren't eligible. No person can ac-
quire Civil Service by holding a job
obtained through the replacement
list.

Separated persons were supposed
to have made application for entry
on the list within 90 days after sepa-
ration through the head of the agen-
cy in which the applicant was last
employed. This provision has kept
| thousands off the list, but these thou-

Age Limits Relaxed |
Older Persons May Work for U.S. |

Because he felt that the present
government program requires the
all skilled workers,
Senator James M, Mead petitioned
il Service Commis-
to have the age limits lifted
during the present crisis to permit
men who passed Civil Service retire-
ment ages to lend their efforts. Last
week, in a letter from William C.
Hull, Executive Assistant pf the
Commission, Senator Mead received
| assurances that the limits would be

SCHOOL

Mr. Hull's letter read, in part:
“The Commission's policy has been

to extend maximum age limits for

ny of the skilled trades or occupa-

|tions in which ‘shortages exist, and

in which an extension of age limita-
Aigns would possibly make avallable

reserve of skilled workers between
Rie maciniteneniaiatnecente
prescribed (48 to 50 years) and the
retirement age. “Shipfitters, loftsmen,
coppersmiths, machinists, toolmakers,
and instrument makers are among
the large number of positions in the
artisan class for which the maximum
age has been extended to 62 years,

the retirement age for mechanics In
the naval establishments. |
“The extension of the maximum |
age limitations has not been confined
| to the artisan class of workers. In- |
| spectors, engineers, tool and gauge |
| designers, and other positions in the |
professional or  sub-professional |
classifications are among those for
which the maximum age has been |
extended to 65 years. Further, the |
Commission has given authorization |
to its district managers to extend the |
maximum age beyond the customary
limitation, in any case in which such
an extension would not contravene
administrative regulations of the de-
partment concerned, with respect to
age limits. In cases of this nature it
is necessary that concurrence of the
department be obtained. You are
undoubtedly aware that the Commis-
sion has only concurrent jurisdiction
in the establishment of age limits:
The Department: of the government
for which an examination is to be
announced must be consulted, and
must signify its acceptance of the
maximum age which is to appear in
the public announcement of the ex-
amination.”

It Couldn’t Be—
Or Could It?

E don't get it. There are 631 vacancies in the
W Police Departimcnt, as of today. ‘There has
been only one patch of appointments since

July, 1939. The Mayor says he cannot authorize new
appointments to fill the current vacancies, because the
draft may reach out and get some of the rooki This
argument has been advanced steadily by Hizzoner since
last fall. It has been put forth despite the fact that,
in a department of 19,000 men, only a handful have
been called for military service. ‘Three-fourths of the
cops whose numbers have been reached have been put
in deferred el; Even if rookies were drafted, the
city doesn’t have to pay the difference in their salaries

Still, says the Mayor, he can't make appointments to
the badly undermanned Police force, because the draft
boards won't make blanket deferments of all cops and
firemen,

And yet, the Mayor OK’s the appointment of 271 men
from the Patrolman eligibles list to jobs as Special
Patrolmen on the city transit lines, Maybe we are
dumb, But we don't get it. If the draft is blocking
appointments to the Police force, doesn't it follow that
the draft will also affect the men appointed to the
Board of Transportation? And if the draft isn’t going
to seriously interfere with the Special Patrolmen, then
it follows that it won't seriously interfere with appoint-
ments to the regular Police force,

It couldn't be—could it—that Fiorello has been using
a thin excuse as a big reason for not making Police
appointments and that the real point is to save money?

End the Runaround!

T LOOKS very much as if the State Legislature is
I about to give drafted public employees of New
York State a legislative mickey finn, When the
Selective Service Act was first passed, nothing was too
good for the government employees, Full difference
between military and civil pay was promised to all
drafted into the army, The State administration,
speaking through Governor Lehman, called for the dif-
ferential, But the bills that were hopefully put in have
languished in committee these past few months. Then
the Legislature said, in effect; “Well, we'll give 'em half
a loaf—30 days’ pay.” Last week the Legislature struck
out even the 30 days’ pay clause, though it would have
cost the State and cities little or nothing.

The Leaver now learns that a new bill to provide the
30 days’ pay is about to be introduced. Public em-
ployees should communicate at once with legislators
in Albany. Only a few more days remain in which this
heart-breaking runaround can be ended,

A Petition to the Mayor
On the 11-Squad Chart for Cops

Dear Mr. Mayor: As a member of New York
City’s Police Force, | feel that the 11-squad chart,
which would give us a 48-hour swing each week,
will improve the morale and efficiency of the

gain the decent working hours which it provides,

Merit Men

IN THE LAST SIX years the num-
ber of playgrounds in New York
City has risen from 119 to 417, All
recreational facilities for children
and adults alike have increased cor-
respondingly, At the-head of this
program which daily gives pleasure,
relaxation and health to thousands of
New Yorkers is James V. Mulhol-
land, big, genial Irishman, who has
been a Civil Service employee for
18 years,

The Park Association of New
York recently awarded him a special
Citation of Merit “in recognition of
his outstanding contributions to the
Park system...” Mulholland him-
self p on the credit for this
progress to Robert Moses, Commis-
sioner of Parks. “Before he came
in, if we got one or two playgrounds
a year we were fortunate.”

Mulholland knows from personal
experience the need for playgrounds
in a city like New York, He was
born here in a crowded neighbor-
hood, “We had no playgrounds when
I was a kid, We played in streets,
backyards, docks, or climbed on
trains,”

Six years ago Mulholland worked
out a long-range plan for develop-
ment and reconstruction of the city’s
plalgrounds, His primary objective
was to provide maximum use of
recreational facilities all year round,
For example, the 15 large outdoor
pools, which are the most modern
in the country, are used after the
swimming season "for volleyball,
handball, basketball and badminton,
He was instrumental in closing a
number of driveways in the city
parks to motor ‘yehicles, so they
could be used for bicycle riding and
roller skating,

Mulholland also sponsored the out-
door social dancing programs in the

parks; Organized the Park Depart-
ment Band in 1937; initiated the New
York City Ice Skating Carnival in
1924; and six years agg held the first
Contest for Barber Shop Quartet
Singing.

Graduating from City College in
1915, he took a law degree at the
New York Law School in 1932, and
was admitted to the bar in 1934,

Before beginning his Civil Service
career, he taught school. During the
World War he served two years in
the Naval Intelligence. In 1923
after competing in a Civil Service
exam, he was appointed to the De-
partment of Parks as Supervisor of
Recreation for Manhattan, He now
js in charge of the five borough su-
pervisors and with them plans the
city-wide recreational program.

Vital statistics: Makes hobbies of
athletics, music (he plays the fiddle),
gardening. Plays basketball and

handball. Presides over the Catholic
Guild of Park Employees. Lives at
85-32 Warehan Place, Jamaica

Heights, with his wife and five chil-
dren,

JOSEPH SCHECHTER, genial,
portly counsel to the State Civil Ser-
vice Commission, is today the unoffi-
cial adviser on Civil Service matters
to the State of New York, His

Is This

Sirs; As a constant reader of your
paper, I would like the privilege of
using’ it as a medium for airing a
grievance of mine,

What's wrong with the DPUI?

Since my induction into the Divi-
sion of Placement and Unemploy-
ment Insurance as a Junior Clerk al-
most two years ago, I've seen noth-
ing but squabbling and dissension
among the employees, one law suit
after another to nullify promotion
exams already given, and a general
inefficiency on the part of the ad
ministration with regard to the
handling of personnel, ‘There is no
feeling by the administration toward
the employees and a spirit of help-
fulness and cooperation is entirely
lacking, All this is fast threatening
to place the DPUI in the unenvious
-position of Public Department No, 1
as far as turnover of personnel is
concerned,

1 think it is about time that this
administration started thinking things
over. Does it want the Division to
revert to the low degree of efficiency
of a few short years ago which made
it the butt of a gubernatorial cam-

2 Does it want to continue i
nt excellent service to the citi~
zens of New York State or does it
want to degenerate to a point where
it will again invite demands by the
public for an investigation of its op-
eration? The answer is in the hands
of Miller, Loysen, et al, Let's have
some consideration on the part of the
administration for the “little guys” in
the jon, Remember—satisfed
subordinates create the efficiency of

operation for which the administra-
tive supervisors should be ever striv~
ing.

Juntorn Cienk,

About a year ago, after a compre-
hensive study of conditions in the
DPUI, The LEADER came to conclu
sions diametrically opposed to tho
expressed in the above letter.
LEADER found that under the di-
rection of J. H, Mason, new head
of Personnel’ Administration, sloppy
conditions of previous administra~
tions had been cleared up, Morale
in the Division was very much on
the upgrade. Since that survey, we
have watched things in DPUL very
carefully, and are glad to report that
conditions are constantly improving,
Many specific grievances that still
€) are holdovers from previous
days....but even these are on the
way out. We of course welcome
official response to the above letter,
For ourselves, we know full well
that under Messrs. Loysen and
Mason, DPUI ‘is enjoying one of the
best administrations of personnel in
any jurisdiction,

Eprror.

Wants Competitive Exams

Sirs: For the past two years I have
been diligently studying and prepar-
ing for a possible open-competitive
city examination in the field of ac-
counting, So far, none have been
announced.

Lower Retirement Age

A bill introduced into the State
Senate by Senator Frederic R. Cour
dert, Jr. to reduce the compulsory
retirement age from 70 to 65 is
strongly supported by the License
No. 1 Eligibles Association, Repre-
sentatives of the Association point
out that there are 1,509 teachers be-
tween the ages of 65 and 70 in the
city’s schools, If these teachers were
retired, and replaced by young
teachers, the city would save $915,
963 annually, according to their pre-
liminary estimates.

At present there are some 2,800
licensed elementary school eligibles
awaiting regular appointment. Ap-

| proximately 1,500 of these eligibles

have been serving as “permanent
substitutes” performing the duties
and assuming the responsibilities of
regular teachers, These teachers

have been termed “regular tea-hers
in all respects but salary and ten-
ure.”

The present eligible list for the
License No. 1 teachers expires June
30, 1943. The list has been in ex-
istence since 1930.

New Eligibles

Twenty names have been added to
eligible lists for licenses as teachers
of day high school subjects by the
Board of Examiners. Eight men
were placed on the register for
teacher of applied mathematics,
eight women on the list for teacher
of Beauty Culture, four men on
Building Maintenance and Service

Swing ’Em”’

Lyrics of “Swing Your Partne’
Children,” the ditty sung by un-
named teachers on The Committee
for Defense of Public Education's
WMCA radio program, went:

“If you want to have some fun,

Try to get some teaching done

In a class of forty-one;

Swing your partners, children!
Park your pedagogy, please,
When you enter one of these

Subway jammed academies;

Swing your partners, children!"

How Long Is Sick Leave?

G. McC: There is no general
statute regulating sick leave in the
state and city service. That is
generally provided for by: depart-
mental regulation, although there
has been an attempt made in both
the state and city services to pro-
vide for uniform sick leave sched-
ules by informal administrative
action. There is a bill pending in
the legislature (Johnson _ bill)
which would provide a uniform
fifteen day sick leave for all state,
eity, county and local employees.

Who Is Entitled
To Job in This Case?

C. S. poses*the following query:
If A and B are both on the list for
clerk, Grade 1, and both are certi-
fled and appointed on the same
day, and. then both are laid off and

Mandatory protective legislation was placed upon the statute books by
a governor and legislature over the combined protest and veto of the
| mayor, over the strenuous opposition of the comptroller and the majority
| of the members of the school boards of the Bronx, Broklyn and Manhattan,
What extrardinary combination of circumstances could have produced so
unprecedented a situation? Why should members of a state legislature,
almost always amenable to the wishes of duly elected local officials, de
liberately and persistently override their wishes?

Salaries were based partly upon the grade taught, partly upon the order
of assignment, and greatly upon political influence. Teachers in the same
| school, teaching the same grade for the same number of years, were re-
ceiving vastly different salaries- Teacher morale was low and the chil-
dren suffered as a consequence

The Home Rulers
| Such a deplorable situation prevailed when the Home Rulers dominated,
that the press, the public and the forward looking legislators sought to
bring order out of chaos. The Ahern bill which was vetoed the first year
finally passed and was signed by Mayor Van Wyck, an ardent Home Ruler,

From the Times, February 18, 1901:

“No such conditions can be counted on if the que:

or the Munjcipal Assembly. "The proof of experience settles that, The
costly, disastrous and demoralizing condition of things existing as to pay

Law) was due to the stubborn refusal of the Board of Apportionment to
provide the funds for payment absolutely due the teachers, and the wrongs
thus inflicted were most cruel while the injury to the school was incal-
culable. To go back now to the crude, barbarous system would be in-
excusable.”

Political patronage has not changed during the years and the opportuni-
ties in the schools offer much to the political bosses,

With the increased interest in Civil
Service that came during the late
thirties, the legal work of the Com-
mission took on huge proportions
The greater number of candidates
with a greater awareness of their
rights has made Civil Se liiga-
tion a frequent issue in the courts.
Civil Service is one of the major
subjects of legislation each winter.
The launching by the State Com-
mission several years ago of a cam-
paign to inspect regularly the
activities of local commissioners
throughout the State added to the
legal work of the Commission, end
such duties are to increase geo-
metrically when the full extension
job is done,

Joe Schechter is sold on the idea
that lawyers and Civil Service make
a first-rate team. He's much inter-
ested in the recent recommendations
of the Reed Committee that all law-
yers in the federal service come un-
der Civil Service—all but »those in
policy-making posts. <

“An adequate exam—not necessari- |
ly written—ean be devised for all
others jobs.” That's the considered |
opinion of one who's devised many
such tests,

Beyond that, Joe Schechter urges |
lawyers to file for other than legal
jobs in public service.

Personal history: he’s close to 40, |
though it's hard to believe; he’s been
married for the past four of these
years; he’s rarely without a cigar; @
real native New Yorker, he's agree- |
ably surprised to find that he likes |

What Every Sergeant Should Know

Study Material for Coming Police Test: Part 14

Question 14

Efforts have been made by the)
Legislature to take the stigma of |
criminality out of the voluntary
surrender of a firearm, How does
the Police Department cooperate
in this respect?

Answer to Question 14

1, During 1940, Section 1897 of
the Penal Law was amended by add-
ing thereto new subdivision 6a which
ads as follows:

“Where a person voluntarily de-
livers to a peace officer any pistol,
revolver or other firearm or any
other dangerous or deadly instru-
ment or weapon mentioned in this
section, undee circumstances not sus-
picious, peculiar or involving the
commission of a crime, such volun-
tary delivery of such revolver, pistol,
firearm or other dangerous or deadly
instrument or weapon shall preclude
the arrest of such person, and, in-
stead, the officer or officers who
might make the arrest shall issue or
cause to be issued in a proper case,
a summons or other legal process,

For Court Attendant Candidates
| With onfy a month and a half to
study, Court Attendant candidates
are brushing up on their Civil Prac-
tice Act for basic material, There
|are four study manuals in the field,
prepared by Arco, Aid, Sheedy, and
Capital Publishing Co,, but these can
only begin to cover the field. Be-
sides the C.P.A., it is advisable to
brush up on State civies (the Legis-
lative Manual and the State Red
Book are handy) and the Judicial
system (Delehanty has a chart on the
subject).

A few miscellaneous books that
may be helpful are Horowitz's “Man-
ual Law Clerks and Stenogra-
phers” and Sayre’s “Outline of
| American Government.” * ;

Study Corner

Gardeners are finding some diffi-
culty getting study material for their
promotion exam, principally because
there is so much that they ought to
know. The Municipal Reference
Library has a fine collection of pam-
phlets by the Department of Agr
culture and Cornell University, as
well as “the other study material,
Best bet for the administrative an-
gles is a two-volume 1928 book by
the Playground and Recreation As-

sociation of America, “Parks—A
Manual of Municipal and County
Parks.” For gardening material,

there is Louis Vanderboe's “Planning
and Planting Your Own Place” (Mac-
Millan, 1938), And, of course, can-
didates should read the reports of the

Now we are glad to be able to report
that there is no question about it—
Deanna is a nice girl. Oh, even bet-
