Annual Meeting
Of Assn. Set for
October 14 and 15
‘Duplicate Candidates’
For Office Are Sought By
Assn. as Deadline Nears
ALBANY, July 28 — The an-
nual meeting of the Civil Service
Employees Association will be held
at the DeWitt Clinton Hotel, Al-
bany, on Tuesday and Wednesday,
October 14 and 15,
On the night of the second day
the results of the election of of-
ficers will be announced. Nearly
all the presentofficers are running
for re-election, and, besides, a
slate of “duplicate candidates”
will be offered.
Seek Outstanding Speaker
The Association is making ar-
rangements to have a person of
international repute as the main
speaker at a luncheon. Besides,
there will be a dinner at night at
which public officials and others
will address the delegates.
Plans have not been completed
yet, but the Association is ex-
pected to follow the same general
pattern as applied in the most re-
cent annual meetings.
One of the problems is taking
care of all the delegates who want
to attend, because accomodations
are limited to about 400, whereas
often nearly twice as many try to
get tickets,
Allied Meetings
Various sub-units of the Asso-
ciation will hold meetings, also,
in connection with the main ses-
sion. The five Conferences of the
Association are among them. Also,
the Mental Hygiene Employees As-
sociation, nearly all of whose
members also are members of the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion, will meet. The Correction
Conference group is expected to
hold its usual session.
One of the outstanding actions
at the Association meeting will be
the adoption, through separate
resolutions, of @ legislative pro-
gram for 1953-4.
ALBANY, July 28—The nomindt-|
ing committee of the Civil Service
Employees Association has issued | he
an urgent call to conferences, chap-
ters and individual members of the
Association to send in names of
“duplicate candidates” for office.
Under an amendment to the As-
sociation constitution, competition
for each office is required. Names
suggested for such compe
should be sent without delay te

The committee has held two meet-
~— The next and final one will be
id on Monday, August 11, by
which time all names must be in
the committee’s hands. The com-
mittee has only three days after
that date in which to recommend
the list of candidates.
Obligation Stressed
Mrs, Meskil said that as the
members voted for the amendment
whereby at least two names shall
appear on the ballot for each office,
the response to date for
“duplicate names” has not been en-
couraging, the membership must
back up its own decision with fast
and co-operative action. She ex-
pected the conferences, chapters
and individual members would do

their own decision is impressed om
them.

It is reported that nearly all of

Meeting Draws
Wide Attention
HE Civii Service Employ: will hold one
key the most important sia meet of its career,
October 14 and 15, at Albany.
This Association has been increasing»in strength and
importance with the years and now has more than 54,000 |
members who are employees of the State or waite Lge local
government. It has carried on its important work on the |
very highest plane and has an unexcelled eccsr of |
complishment, What its members and do affects
greatly the whole structure of the State and local gov-
ernments.
Many crucial topics will engross the delegates at the
annual meeting. The public itself awaits with interest the
stand to be taken by the Association.
One of the most important actions taken at these
annual meetings is the adoption of resolutions which es-
tablish the Association’s legislative program. Always this
program represents the result of sound and constructive
thinking. The conferences and chapters of the Associa-
tion should heed the resolutions committee’s request to
send in promptly their recommendations for proposed
legislation. Delay in sending in such recommendations
jams the work of this overburdened committee. Prompt-
ness is of the very highest order of cooperation.

What Is An Eligible List?
An eligible list is the official rec-
ord of the names, addresses, and
ratings of the persons who passed
an examination, Names are ranked
in order of examination rating.
An eligible Ust is used for at
least one year unless all
on the list are either appointed or
decline appointment in less than
that time. The list may be kept
in use up to four years. At the end
of four years an eligible list must
expire, Once an eligible list expires
or is cancelled no further appoint-
ments can be made from it.
Lists are used for filling New
York State positions and occa-
sionally may be furnished to cities
and counties within the State for
filling local positions. They are not
used for filling federal positions.
May I Choose Where I Work?
You may, if the position exists
at more than one location. You

naires are used fn connection with

How are Appointments Made? |
When a department has a post<«
tion to fill, its personnel officer
asks the Department of Civil Ser~
vice to furnish the names of three
or more of the highest ranking
persons on the appropriate eligible
list. This process of giving the
names of qualified eligibles to a
Personnel officer is known as cer-
bay poe pet

& personnel officer. When he re-
celves your name it is customary
for him to inquire whether you
are interested in appointment to
the position that is available. This
is known as conducting a canvass,
If you are interested you must re-
ply promptly or your name may
not be considered, A canvass in-
quiry does not necessarily mean
that you will be appointed. It
means only that if you say you are
interested and available, you will
be one of the persons considered.
After replies have been received,
f
interviews may be held. Then any »
one of the highest three persons
who said they were available can
be appointed.
Does My Name Stay on the List?
If you are appointed your name
is removed from the eligible list,
If you replied to the canvass by
stating that you were interested,
but you were not appointed, your
name will stay in our active files
for other possible appointment. If
you fail to reply to the canvass,
your name will be placed in an in-
active file. You will not be con-
sidered for any appointment until
you request that your name be re
stored to active status.
If you declined because of the
location of the position or because
of the salary offered, your
will not be considered for any
opening at that location.
If you pointed out that you were
temporarily not available for <a
pointment, your name will
placed in an inactive file. It wa
not be certified for other appoint-
ments at any location until you
write and tell us that you are now

You may, at any time, request
that your name be taken off an
eligible list. You also may, at any
time while the list is in existence,
ask that you now be considered
for appointment at a location or
at a salary you previously declined,
Are Lists Used for Temporary
Jobs?
At times temporary vacancies
develop in State agencies, You
may receive an offer of temporary
appointment to such @ vacancy.
Whether you) accept or decline
temporary appointment has no
effect on your chances of perma-
nent appointment. If you receive
a temporary appointment your
name will still be considered for
permanent employment, If you de-

Sometimes an eligible list is used
for filling other positions for
which the examination is consid-

UPWARD RATIN
Simone v. Conway
Commenced December 3, 1951
‘The petitioner was a candidate
im the open competitive examina-
tion, held in November, 1950, for
the position of Court Steno-
grapher in the Supreme Court,
Pirst, Second and Tenth Judicial
Districts, and received a rating in
the training and experience por-
tion of such exumination of 95%.
in this proceeding he contests the
rating of his training and experi-
ence and seeks to compel the Com-
mission to revise such rating up-
wards, The basis for petitioner's
claim is his allegation that the
training and experience rating
scale, employed by the Commis-
sion in this examination, was ar-
bitrary and capricious in that it
prescribed less credit for experi-
ence as @ stenographer in the
courts of the City of New York and
as a reporting stenographer in va-
rious city and other governmental
agencies than that which was
granted for experience in the
County Courts in the First, Sec-
ond and Tenth Judicial Districts
and as a CAF-9 reporter in the
federal governmental service. The
Petitioner alleges that experience
in the City Court, where he is an
stenographer, is more
official cou
closely related to the duties of
Court Stenographer in the Su-
preme Court than any other type
of experience except actual Su-
preme Court experience and, con-
sequently, it is alleged, petitioner
should have received more credit
for his experience in such position,
‘The petitioner also alleges that
the Commission acted in an un-
fawfi, discriminatory and capri-
gious manner in consulting with
Tepresentatives of the New York
State Shorthand Reporters Asso-
ciation, all of whom were official
court reporters in the Supreme
Court in the County of New York,
as to the method of rating train-
in ad experience, and in refusing
to permit repre ves of any
other shorthand rv 'S associa-

Proposed Resolutions
For Assn. Action Must Be
Submitted by August 20
The Civil Service Employees Association’s committee on
resolutions urges that Conferences, chapters, groups and in-
dividual members wishing to have recommendations relating
to employee problems considered by the delegates at the
annual meeting to be held on October 14 and 15, submit them
in definite form before Wednesday, August 20,
The Association's constitution specifically highlights the
importance of resolutions in the following provision:
“Section 2, Article 5: Resolutions Committee. Resolu-
tions submitted to the resolutions committee for considera-
tion at the annual meeting, which are received on or before
the twentieth day of August, shall be reviewed, edited and
consolidated by such committee. On or before the tenth day
of September such committee shall report to all Chapters of
the Association on its disposition of such resolutions, includ-
ing its recommendations, if any, to be presented to the dele-
gates at the annual meeting. It shall be discretionary with
the resolutions committee to report to chapters on resolu-
tions received afte? the twentieth day of August.”
Big Job for Committee
Each year the resolutions committee is called upon to
review and study more than a hundred proposals. Out of the
proposals submitted to the committee and finally to the
delegates, the program for Association legislative action is
developed.
The work of the resolutions committee is of vital im-
portance, said the committee. Members and groups submit-
ing resolutions should put them in clear and concise form
and send them in as early as possible, the committee added.
Edward L. Ryan, State Department of Law, is chairman of
the committee. Resolutions should be addressed to Mr. Ryan,

Mailing and Envelope Ideas
Win Prizes for State Employees
ALBANY, July 28—Thomas F,
Norris of Waterviict, was awarded
| $125 and a Certificate of Merit by
the New York State Employees’
Merit Award Board for a suggest-
ed revision in the mailing pro-
cedures of the Income Tax Bu-
reau. He is employed in that Bu-
reau in Albany.
The revision will save the typ-
ing of more than 60,000 mailing
labels annually,
Mr, Norris proposed that a spe-
cal card mailed in by employers
ordering additional forms be used
as the mailing label in
their requests, In addition,
suggestion assures speedier service
and practically eliminates delays
Jarising from incorrect mailing ad-
dresses.
Donald Dickinson and Albert
Testo, both of Troy, and William
M. Davis of Albany, emplo of
the Department of Audit and
Control, were awarded $45 and in-
dividual Certificates of Merit for
a joint suggestion, They cleverly
designed an envelope to protect

TEST CANDIDATES
NOT SO UNREASONABLE
Editor The LEADER
You were kind enough to com-
ply with my letter of June 27th,
by inserting on page 4 of your
July 8th issue the column entitled
“NYC Test for Administrator is
Protested.”
For this courtesy and coopera-
tion, please accept my thanks, and
the thanks of many other candi-
dates in these examinations held
on June 7, 1952, in which about
1500 applicants participated.
There is one correction, how-
ever, that should be made in the
text of your column. According to
Danger in ‘Quickie’
Exams Is Recognized
he “quickie” exams for filling post office clerk-
carrier jobs on a probational (permanent) basis,
which have been held in some parts of the U. S., are ad-
mittedly a danger to the merit system, If they are made
s0 easy that almost anybody but a moron would surely
pass, the exams are a travesty. If they are so difficult
that few pass, they serve no practical purpose, and deny
to many temporaries, most of them veterans, an oppor-
tunity of gaining permanency.
Temporaries were dissuaded from taking previous
exams because the jobs offered were the same temporary
or impermanent ones that they held. Now that permanent
appointments may be made, even though within limits,
the whole situation has changed.
It would be unfair to deny to these temporaries the
same opportunity of gaining permanency as is granted
to those not dissuaded from taking the tests, and who
passed, and equally unfair to give exams so easy that all
temporaries are merely covered in through subterfuge.
Besides, giving the same exam to all, including the general
public, increases the peril.
Courageous Zeal
James E. Rossell, director, Second Regional Civil
Service Commission (New York and New Jersey), has
realized the peril in the “quickie” exam which in other
localities has taken contestants only half an hour to
complete. In some instances one-third passed, in others
one-half or more. Did the difference arise from the in-
equality of calibre of candidates? Or was it because one
exam was easier than another?
Mr. Rossell is surveying the short exams, and the
results. He is comparing both with the standard four-
hour exam, now no longer given for these jobs. He seeks
to give a short exam soon, designed to produce about the
same percentage of eligibles as the four-hour test.
Mr. Rossell is to be congratulated for his zeal,
acumen and courage.
pee
RESPONSE from NYC employees, since the an-
nouncement of the plan for a 40-hour week, indicates
elearly that all agree that the municipal staff should
enjoy the same hours as those in private industry as soon
as possible. NYC employees should not have to wait
until 1954 for final 40 hours. Civic employees are grate-
ful to the City Administration which has recognized the
inequity of existing hours, but deplore the slowness of
the staggered plan for achieving it. :
Basically the matter is one of finances. A plea to Al-
bany for aid in raising funds for getting down to 40 hours
in the shortest possible time will have the support of the
City employees and the public as well.
(SRS
EIGHT PERSONS die in a Brooklyn fire. Weeks
later 75 employees are added to the Department of Hous-
ing and Buildings, to prevent further deaths in sub-
standard dwellings. But why must lives be sacrificed be-
fore NYC recognizes that a service is inadequate? It is
a prime responsibility of government to prevent catastro-
phies, not to wait for them to occur before taking ob-
viously néeded action.

ASST, CLAIMS EXAMINER
SPEAKS HIS MIND
Editor, The LEADER:
You published a letter from Lee
Thorne on a feud between em-
ployment interviewers and claims
examiners in the DPUI. |
In Buffalo the placement and!
insurance staffs understand and
respect each other's problems. We
cross the line daily to help each
other,
I shall give my views on points |
raised by Mr. Thorne, a senior |
employment security manager, I
am an assistant claims examiner,
Mr. Thorne says some execu-
tives with insurance background
deprecate the “professional” wr AI
tus of employment workers, As
supervisor of a certification unit,|
I had to do most of my work on
the tailgate of a truck, since we
moved seven times in two years.
Now we perform in an unsuitable
location.
Our placemént buddies are usu-
| Which they were appointed provides that they may be dismis:

CIVIL SERVICE
THERE'LL be many more thousands of U. S. employees on vaca-
tion between now and December 20, the deadline for use of 1962
leave, than in any recent year, No accumulation of leave earned in
1952 is permitted past then, under the new law, except for those
who enter military service, and for U, 8, civilian employees overseas.
But if a U, 8. employee accumulated leave before the 1952-53 fiscal
year began, that remains his to have and to hold, or use, when and
if he sees fit,
THE FOUR-MAN commission that will study U. S. pensions will
consider coverage of all U. 5. employees under Social Security, under
which insurance and survivor benefits are considerably better; but
he | HY Move to substitute SS entirely for the U. 8, Civil Service Retire~
ment System would be fought unanimously by employee organizations,
Some employees want SS benefits integrated with their own retire-
ment benefits,
BECAUSE it is likely that Social Security coverage will finally
be applied to public employees, attempted methods of beating the
game under 8S become interesting to them.
If one ts retired under Social Security, wages of more than $50
@ month in a job covered by the law cause suspension of the SS
benefit. So one man specified he wanted to work in any of four occu-
pations, but refused to consider “covered” jobs that paid less than
$50 a week. The Appeals Board held that the restriction he imposed
constituted retirement from all work,
In another case, another man retired under SS wrote job-hunting
letters only during the period when he was entitled to receive unem-
ployment insurance benefits (the benefit year). The Board held that
the job-hunt was “more apparent than real” and that the man
showed no real interest in obtaining work. So, he, too lost out on
his gimmick for additional income. The SS benefits remained intact
in both instances, however.
THE- WAR Stabilization Board layoff points up anew the need
for a strong, effective and continuous employment bureau, in an
effort to place “riffed" U. S. workers in jobs not only in other
branches of the U. S. Government, but in private industry in coop-
eration with State Employment services, The sudden actions of Con-
ress in reducing appropriations cause great havoc among U. S. work-
ers and their families. The U. S. should be as quick on the job-finding
as it is on the hiring. Effective August 31, it is expected that more
than 400 of the 1,700 WSB employees will_lose out, and some already,
have received termination notices; also the Office of Rent Stabiliza-
tion will drop 2,000 and Civil Defense 850.
SO LONG as there is an appropriation for the job, however,
permanence is simply tenacious, in the opinion of Dr, Wilson Comp-
ton, Administrator, State Department's Voice of America, He wi
astonished, he told a Senate Committee, to find how hard it is to
rid of a misfit employee, because of civil service red tape. Inst
of too little and too late in the hiring, he admits that the VOA hired
too fast and too soon,
Speaking of job security, 500 U. S. hearing examiners seem
to have all the best of it. The District Court of Appeals in Washing-
ton, D. ©., has upheld a lower court decision that these examiners
can not be dropped, even if there's no work for them! The law under
only by U, 8. Civil Service Commission order, and only “for cau:
That means charges and a hearing, Hearing examiners sit as a sort
of court of first instance when government administrative rules are
under attack. The courts evidently take judicial notice of the exam-
iners’ quasi-judicial functions. So any attempts by agencies to include
the examiners in reduction in foree would be no go, unless Congress
changes the law.

ment of Justice. Today he is one of the world's most famous peta
becauise of the brilliant and courageous job he did In the Federal
ureall of Investigation. Name please? Director J. Edgar Hoover.
But he's not so good at picking the horses,
ally at our side because our emer~-
gencies are guaranteed to be a
continuous performance.
Mr. Thorne fears that ‘“veter-
ans” may replace regular people |
in a big lay-off. I don’t scare,|
Bud. I met some of them. They are |
People just like us.
Mr. Thorne tosses a big bouquet
of roses to Messrs. Loysen and|
Brockway who, he says, uldn't |
like a trainee program. We
told that the placement staff
doesn’t want it, insurance doesn't
want it, the Civil Service Com-
mission doesn't want it, and the
top administration doesn’t want
it. Who does?
Mr. Thorne complains the in-
surance boys offered a “loaded
brief” in their appeal. That’s cor-
rect. Tt was loaded with facts, a
new and deadly weapon for the
theorists.

tailored to gi

exam, as a matter of fairness, is

being offered to them nationwide.|

Where to Apply for Jobs
Each regional office holds its tests
at times that best suit its operat-
ing requirements,
Since the test would be the same
one to which the general public is
invited, the unanimous conclusion
is that the short-type test, which
in some localities has been com-
pleted in half an hour, will be
easier than the old, four-hour
scrutiny, Though not a push-over
in the Second Region because the
exaM™ will be stiffened to produce,
as nearly as possible, the same
percentage of successful candi-
dates as did the old type long test.
PAY RATES
‘The exam will be entitled Sub-
= Clerk, Substitute City Car-
rier,
After one year of, satisfactory
service as @ substitute an ap-
pointee's basic pay of $1.61% an
hour is increased 5 cents an hour,
and 5 cents more an hour for
each succeeding year until the pay
is $2.01% an hour. The basic work
week is 40 hours. Night work pays
10 percent above the basic rate.
Overtime is usually compensated
by equivalent time off, and ar-
rangements are made in each of-
fice, so that regular days off and
compensating time off for extra
hours become cumulative. That
gives many postal workers the va-
cation feeling.
Applicants must actually reside
within the delivery area of the
post office for which the exam is
announced, or be employed in that
post office.
The exams for filling jobs in
the New York, N. Y., and Brooklyn,
N.Y. post offices, it is expected,
will be held simultaneously, and
will be identical. Exams held later
would contain entirely different
questions, to avoid any possibility
of candidates in a succeeding exam
benefitting from having taken a
previous one,
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
The following are the standard
general requirements :

total of 1,280 persons filed for the
competitive exams recently an-
nounced for the new post of direc-
tor of internal revenue in 26 cities
throughout the country, the U.S.
Civil Service Commission an-
nounced. This is an average of
49 applicants for each exam,
‘The Commission compiled its
figures for reply to a letter re-
ceived by Robert Ramspeck, Com-
mission Chairman, from James R.
‘Watson, of N.Y.C., executive di-
rector of the National Civil Serv-
ice League. Mr. Watson questioned
whether sufficient qualified can-
didates were applying for the new
jobs,
Chairman Answers Watson
In his reply, Mr, Ramspeck also
answered Mr. Watson's criticism
that “more than half” the new po-
sitions of director are to be filled
by non-competitive appointments
from within the Federal service.
Mr. Ramspeck said that the new
Internal Revenue openings could
be filled either by promotion or by
open-competitive exam, and that
he made this fact “unmistakably
clear" in testimony that he gave
at Congressional hearings.
‘The post of director yas created

Postal ‘Temps’ Get Chance
For Permanency Under
Order Signed by Truman
WASHINGTON, July 28—Thou-
of “indefinite” postal em-
employees in post offices throughout
the country will benefit from the
executive order signed by President
‘Truman authorizing the Post Office
Department to resume anent
‘appointments in its field service,
t Aad 8. Civil Service Commission
said.
The order goes into effect Aug-
wat 17.
Opportunity for 60,000
Up to 60,000 workers in the postal
field service appointed as “indefi-
by selection in regular order
service lists will be con-
sidered for permanent appoint-
ments under this order. In this
group are employees appointed in
regular order from lists, or who
could have been appointed from
lists if permanent appointments had
1 authorized in the postal field
service.
The number of “indefinites” who
will be changed to permanent will
be limited by the authorized quota
of permanent positions set for each
post office by the Post Office De-
artment, and by effects of the
hitten amendment. This amend-
ment limits the number of perma-
nent kag ig in the Federal serv-
ice to the number on the roils on
September 1, 1950.
Appointments made from lists of
eligibles to positions outside the
authorized quota will be indefinite
or temporary.
1946 Date Controls
‘The order applies to employees
who were, or could have been, ap-
inted competitively to indefinite
bs from civil service lists set 2p
since February 4, 1946. To be eli-
zible for a permanent appointment,
in employee must not have had
break im service of more than 90
days, unless for military service.
Excepted from the order's provision
postal accounting offices.
Workers will be changed to per-
manent in the order in which they
inted or in the order in
| uld have been within
|reach for appointment. There is
also provision for those “indefi-
nites” who did not take exams
which were open for their jobs
| while they were serving because
\only indefinite appointments were
being offered. These will be given
a test and, if they pass, will have
an opportunity of becoming per-
manent.
Additional List
“Indefinites” who are not changed
to permanent because of quota lim-
itations will ve their names
placed on civil service lists for their

considered for permanent appoint-

ments im the future as vacancies
occur.
Postal workers who entered mili-
tary service will be eligible for the
a a
for
of honorable discharge or
pitalization which lasts no. longer
than a year after discharge.
Employees changed to permanent
under the executive order will have
seniority dated from August 17,
1952. Among employees who are
changed to permanent on this date,
hose who were reached, or would
have been reached, earliest on the
list of eligibles will have greater
seniority. Returning veterans who
receive permanent appointments
under this order will have their
date of permanency and seniority
made as of August 17. :

workers. Seniority, which tradi.
tionally runs from the date of per-
manent appointment, determines
the order in which employees will
be moved from substitute to regu-
lar positions, from less desirable to
more desirable assignments, and to
some higher posts.

tended to other than postal em-
ployees, but organizations of such

ment or to the minimum salary of
the next higher grade, whichever
results in a higher annual salary.
If his previous salary was
greater than the minimum of the
next higher grade, then he is en-
titled to the next annual incre-
ment of the new salary grade.
If his previous salary was at
the maximum of his previous
grade for one year before the re-
allocation, he is entitled to the
next annual increment of the new
salary grade,
Gets Annual Increments
After the initial adjustment of
salary following the reallocation
of his position, an employee is en-
titled to receive annual incre-
ments in the new salary grade,
until his annual salary corresponds
with the rate of compensation for
his years of service, and there-~
after to continue to receive an-
nual salary increments until the
maximum salary of the new grade
is attained.
Satisfactory and efficient ser-
vice during the preceding year is
a requirement for the receipt of
annual salary Increments in the
State service, Where an employee's
services are rated unsatisfactory
or inefficient, he is not entitled to
any salary increment for that year,

appointed before October first are
entitled to their first increment
on the following April first.
Promotion
Upon promotion to a higher
grade, an employee is entitled to
not less than his former salary.
If he had been receiving the maxi-
mum salary of his former grade
for one year or more, his initial
salary upon promotion should be
the next higher salary of his new
salary grade.
Demotion
Upon demotion or transfer to a
lower grade, for reasons of eco-
nomy, an employe is entitled to a
salary and increments in such
lower grade, on the basis of the
total number of years of his ser-
vice in the positions from and to
which he was demoted or trans-
ferred. Upon demotion as a disci-
plinary punishment, an employee's
salary and increments in the low-
er grade are based on the total
number of years of his service in
the positions from’ and to which
he was demoted, except that, in
the discretion of the department
head, he may be paid a higher
salary, not exceeding the maxi-
mum salary for such lower grade
position,
‘Transfer
Upon transfer to a similar posi-
| tion, or upon appointment to a
Position in the same salary grade,
the transferee or appointee shall
be paid the same salary in such
new position as he received in his
former position or the most near-
jy corresponding salary,
Whenever an employee is ap-
pointed, promoted, demoted, trans-
ferred or reinstated in the State
service, he is entitled to credit for
his previous years of State ser-
vice for the purpose of computing
his years of service and his an-
nual salary increments in his new
position. Such previous service de-
termines the number of annual
salary increments which are pay-
able to him immediately upon
such appointment, promotion, de-
motion, transfer or reinstatement.

THE House Post Office and
Civil Service Committee is work-
ing on plans for a new appeals
system for Federal employees who
are dismissed.
Proposals receiving considera-
tion from the committee’s staff
are:
1, Non-veterans with five years
or more of service be granted the
right to appeal dismissals to the
Board of Appeals and Review of
the Civil Service Commission.
Now, only veterans have this right.
2. Appeals by non-veterans
with less than five years service
be only to departmental boards as
at present.
3. A streamlining of procedure
to require only one hearing on
each appeal. As many as three
hearings may be held on a dis-
missal appeal at present,
AT BEST, it's unpleasant to get
& dismissal notice, but the Office
of Price Stabilization is trying to
soften the blow to its employees.
Under the OPS pian, employees
may accept a 30-day notice, then
get a lump sum payment for ac-
cumulated leave, and say “good
bye” to Federal service. Or, they
may take a furlough until next
April 30. Under the furlough op-
tion, they draw regular paychecks
until their annual leave is used
up, then co on leave without pay.
Furloughed employees gain the
ment system ,easier transfer to
another Federal opening, hold
their permanent status, and avoid
payment of heavier income tax on
the lump-sum separation check. |
570 Lose OPS Jobs
By September 1, about 570 of
the thousand Office of Price Sta-
bilization employees in the New
York-Northern New Jersey area

because of reduced budget, James

The stand of NYC firemen
against proposed reduction in the
number of firehouses has been up-
held by the N. Y. State Firefighters
(APL), the state body of the Inter-
national Association of Fire-
fighters.
At the convention of the State
group held in Rochester, resolu-
tions were adopted stressing the
need of keeping the NYC Fire De-
partment fully manned and to fill
all officer vacancies permanently
The NYC Uniformed Fire ene
‘Association has also been wor!

resolution. aa
Tini Elected Vice President
Anthony J. Tini, financial-record-
fing secretary of the NYC Uniform-
ed Firemen’s Ass’n., was elected a
vice president of the State group at
the convention. A veteran of 13
years’ service in the NYC Fire De-
partment, Mr. Tini has been espe-
cially active in social work among
firemen. He is an organizer of the
medical, dental and surgical plan
for firemen, and was instrumental
organizing a departmental blood-
ank.

The complaint on the inadequacy

That statement caused not a
few raised eyebrows in the N.Y.C.
Fire Department.
In the recent list for promotion
to lieutenant, F.D., 87 names out
of 346 active ones on the list were
those of candidates who got below
the required 70 per cent. Who
caused one question to be elimi-
nated, making more than 25 per
cent of the candidates fail? The
Commission printed on the ques-
tion sheet, first page: “Part I.
Weight 50, 70 per cent required.”
Who lowered the standard?
Cites Captain Exam
In the exam for promotion to
captain, F.D,, held February 2,
Part I consisted of 80 questions,
with 70 per cent required, or 56
correct answers to pass. Who is
working to reduce the rating
standards here? Already one ques-
tion has been eliminated. Why?
Now, out of 79, only 55 correct an-
swers will, no doubt, enable a
candidate to make the list, but
with less than 70 per cent. Who
is reducing the rating standards?
Will another 25 per cent of the
captain list attain less than the
required 70 per cent but still pass?
Publicity on why questions are
eliminated might be in’ order.

5 Bridge Toll Men
Reinstated by Court
Five toll-bridge men who had
been suspended by the Triborough
Bridge and Tunnel Authority have
been reinstated by an order of the
Court of Appeals. The Authority
had accused the men of “mishan=
dling” toll tickets and had sus-
pended them after an investiga-
tion,
The Court decided that the men
had not been given an opportunity
to confer with counsel in confi-
dence, as the Authority had used
an undercover agent who pre-
sumably acted with the suspended
five and even attended their visits
to their attorneys,
The Court said that the Author-
ity could serve the men with no-
tice of charges and try them
again.

Questicn, Please
apply for reinstatement, and you
could be appointed to any State
department. However, there is no
absolute right to reinstatement,
‘and your reappointment would be
subject to the discretion of the
department head.
Tenacious Provisionals
WHEN an eligible list is estab-
isn’t it required that eli-
Mshed,
gibles shall replace provisionals?
K. EF.
Answer: Yes. The replacement
should be accomplished in 20 days.
However, there are sometimes ex-
tenuating circumstances whereby
Pg gig who are on the eligt-
bans ist, but not high enough to
be reached, manage to remain in
their jobs until they are reached,
because the Loregbeo ag values the
experience
special training
that they have . thase jobs.
‘While a technical violation may be
detected, some small leeway under
such circumstances has come to
be pretty much accepted, especial-
ly as the only effect is to post-
pone for a while the appointment
of some eligibles higher on the
list. Pressing the technical right
to appointment, whereby an eli-
gible forces himself on a depart-
= has its practical drawbacks,
Sick Leave Pay
IF I AM on sick leave from a
government job, does the pay I
Feceive constitute sickness pay?
G. B.
Answer. No. It is salary. Sick-
ness pay is pay that one receives
solely for being sick, and refers
in general to payments made from
some special sickness fund or un-
der some sickness insurance pol-
icy. Salary paid while one is on
sick leave Is salary or compensa-
tion, for income tax purposes, and
Sickness pay is not.
Salary during sick leave is not
is taxable.
paid because one is sick, but in
spite of the fact that one is sick
and away from work. It is the
same salary received regularly and
is not payment made only during
® period of sickness. That is the
big difference.
Retirement Problem
WHEN I RETIRE I would like
to make provision for my wife, so
that if I should predecease her,
she would begin receiving a pen-
sion where I left off. Also I would
like to make sure that she re-
ceives a pension even if I should
return from retirement to my for-
mer NYC job, which, because of
seasonal aspects, is possible. I
would like to have her receive a
Pension during my resumed City
service. R. B. H.
Answer. Your premises are
somewhat conflicting. What you
probably seek is to retire on a
basis whereby your wife would re-
ceive an annuity and you would
receive a pension, when” you re-
tire, and should you return to
your job, her annuity would con-
tinue. This could be dove by hav-
ing her benefit based on your an-

Inconsistency Detected
HOW DOES it happen that the
same jobs are in the Competitive
Class and in the Non-Competitive
Class, since if it is practical to
hold competitive exams in one In-
stance it should be practical in
the other? L. L,
Answer. If the jobs are in the
Competitive Class for one purpose
they could be in that class for all
purposes, The main reason for the
difference is that employees in
the Non-Competitive Class may
prefer to remain in that class. Al-
80, officials sometimes argue that
when there are recruitment diffi-
culties, it is easter and faster to
fill the jobs non-competitively.
This is a vexing problem and both
the State’ and the NYC Civil Serv-
ice Commission are grappling
with it constantly.
AS YOU HAVE given valu-
able U.
in the past, I wonder if you would
enlighten me about combat duty
pay, which is exempt from income
tax?—T. H.
Answer: Each member and for-
mer member of the uniformed serv-
ices of the U.S. is entitled to $45
& month combat pay for each
month, beginning May $1, 1950, for
being a member of a combat unit in
Korea for not less than six days in-
any such month, or six consecutive
days in two months, in either case
one month’s combat pay would ap-
ply. Any member killed in action,
wounded, captured, hospitalized or
entered as missing in action, during
such combat service, or his benefi-
*|ciary, shall receive in such period,
and for not more than three months
thereafter, similar benefit. No per-
son shall receive more than one
combat pay for any one month, nor
does combat pay apply if incentive
pay or special pay is received.

Last Chance to Join
55-Yr.Retirement Plan
ALBANY, July 28 — Jesse B, McFarland, president
of The Civil Service Employees Association, advised all
civil servants contemplating
changing to the 55-year re-
tirement plan, to do so immediately,
“Governor Dewey,
said President McFarland,
“has
signed a bill extending the time of changing to this plan
to September 30, 1952. This is the second extension which
the employees of the State have succeeded in obtaining
through efforts of the Association. However, this may
well be the last extension.
“Those eligible to participate in this plan have had
ample time in the past few years to make the change, It
is not reasonable to expect the Comptroller to keep open
this opportunity for conversion for an unlimited period.
Therefore, I strongly advise all those employees who wish
to convert to the 55-year plan to do so by September 80,
1952,
If they don't do it, they may be sorry,”
