Quietly Planned

By MAXWELL LEHMAN

ALBANY, Jan. 10— Governor
Dewey's message to the Legisla-
ture last week had almost nothing
in it referring directly to the
employees of the State, The Goy-

ernor said nothing about pay
raises, nothing about the sensi-
tive veteran preference question,
nothing about the broad field of
public employee labor relations.

Nevertheless, these omissions
were not taken as grave omens,
in .State employee circles. The
Governor made it clear, near the
end of his talk, that he would
“take occasion to bring to your
attention other matters... .” And
Senator Ben Feinberg, majority
leader, emphasized this point in

What Was Left Out
Of Dewey Message

answering to Senate Democrats
who attacked the message for
what it had left out.

Behind the Scenes

Moreover, on vital employee
matters, negotiations have been
Progressing quietly, although it
is not yet possible to predict re-
sults. Representatives of the Civil
Service Employees Association have
been meeting with the Budget
Director, and have amassed an

(Continued on Page 2)

A permanent pay regrading of
the five civil-service grades for
NYC Clerk has been proposed by
Budget Director Thomas J. Pat-
terson. It would neither raise nor
reduce any Clerk's present pay,
but would end the present signing
of payroll waivers of promotion
rights arising from actual pay
exceeding civil service grade max-
imum and would provide for fu-
ture successive increases of $110

‘ontinued on Page 12)

and $120 at the minimum of the

grades, excepting Grade 1. The
plan also contains a hint of what
may be the general policy on ab-
sorption of bonus into permanent
Pay answer. Yes, but by no means
all of the bonus.

The NYC Civil Service Com-
mission will hold a public hear-
ing on the proposed regrading at
2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Janu-
ary 19 at 299 Broadway, near
Duane Street.

The promotion rights now waiv-
ed, in signing the payroll, are those

recalled.

“The Commission believes that

that grades or salaries based large-

Outstanding Veteran Leaders Sign Powerful

of the Mitehell bill
ier with @ sharp at-
as the apelin measure,

proposal,

which the veterans contend is un-
fair to the great bulk of veterans
and non-veterans alike. The Con-
don bill, although sponsored or-
iginally by the American Legion,
has produced a sharp split in that
organization, and a number of
those signing the document are
Legion post executives, The names
of those signing;

John D. Tracy, Past Command-
er, Greater New York Police Post

President, War Veterans Bar As-
sociation, President, Med. Bast

Chamber of Commerce of New
York City.

The document produced by these
men is one of the most. compre-
hensive statements to date in de-
fense of the Mitchell amendment.
Because it shows with citations
how public service in the state
would suffer if the Condon bill
were passed, and because it proves
conclusively that veterans are not
behind the Condon bill, the mater-
jal is bound to have an enormous
impact on the State Legislature,

Because of its. importance, The
LEADER runs the document in
ull:

over, his extended program of
more hospitals and clinical care
would inevitably mean more em-

Department and promotional op-

‘The drive to enact the Mitchell
vet preference measure, and to
defeat the opposing Condon bill,
has gained enormously during the
past month. It is now felt that
the chances of the Mitchell bill,
which has wide civil service, civic,
and eyen veteran support, are ex-
cellent. A number of legislators,
who passed both bills last year,
have already expressed a pref-
erence for the Mitchell measure.

Thus, on three major
employee sources feel the chances
are better than 50-50. They note,
incidentally, that the Democrats
are on record in favor of a pay
increase, and their heavier legis-
lative weight this year may be an
impelling factor to the GOP,

Retirement

On other issues, the situation
Jooks like this: Retirement gains
are probable this year, The
groundwork for such gains has
been laid over a period of years.
Comptroller Frank C. Moore has
been not sympathetic to im-
provements; and the new head of
the Retirement System, H. Bliot
Kaplan, only last week met with
employee representatives in an
attempt to work out a program.
It is felt that certain advance-
ments—perhaps ®& minimum re-
tirement program—is in the cards
this year.

to complaints about civil service

Any adjustment made in State

must be based on the rises in the

occurred, Association officials
pointed out, Salary adjustments
cannot be based on speculations
concerning the future course of

the Association program for a 12
percent additional minimal State

The Public
Employee

By Dr. Frank L. Tolman

President. The Civil Service Employ-
ees Association, Inc., and Member
of Employees’ Merit Award Board.

THE CRUCIAL ISSUE

AT ia the most important labor problem of today?
{t is not the repeal or amendment of the Taft-Hartley
Labor Law, or the re-enactment of the Wagner Law, or the
Communist infiltration of labor, or the Condon-Wadlin
“anti-strike” law, important as all these are for the mo-
ment, It is the problem of establishing full civil and in-
dustrial rights to the employees of the State, of the
municipalities and of the nation. It is full equality for
the public worker with the employee of private industry.
The issue has been frequently stated and sharply
drawn. The full rights of labor do not, in fact, extend to
the public worker. The Government generally holds itself
above and beyond the restrictions of fair employment
practices which it imposes on private industry but not on
itself. To bulwark its position it brings forth its favorite
bogey-man—“the sovereign state’—and locks its publie
relations advocate—‘‘democracy”’—in the closet for the
nonce,

‘Sovereignty’ Doctrine Outmoded

The doctrine of sovereignty belongs to the past. It is
outmoded both in the international and the domestic field.
The reign of law means the end of despotism of all kinds,
magnificent and petty alike. Democracy means more than
government by the consent of the people, it means goy-
ernment by and for all the people themselvs,

The end and the method of democracy is more democ-
racy. The end and the method of the Government’s labor
relations must be the establishment of a full partnership
and working together of all public workers who serve the
people through the State.

Everything that tends to reduce the status of the free
man to that of a serf or a second class citizen is just as
much a crime in New York as it was in Germany or is
in Russia,

There is a reason why the State holds tightly to its
powers and privileges, but this reason is not the ene most
often advanced and propagandized. There is no great
gulf immutably set between the laborer in industry and
the worker in government, The rights of the private
worker are established and protected by law. These laws
together constitute the labor law of the State and nation,

The rights and privileges of the public worker are
similarly established and protected by Jaw. These laws
together constitute the Civil Service law and the public
officers law. Some provisions of the labor law also apply
to the public worker.

Questions at Issue

The questions at issue are chiefly of two pat
terns: (1) the civil service pattern and (2) the labor
pattern, which offers the best framework for good and
ever improving personnel relations in the public service.
Labor borrows much from civil service procedures, There
is no limit to the power to borrow from induustry or any
other source or to create better labor practices for the
civil service.

We do have both labor unions and civil service
associations operating in Government. It is abundantly
evident that trade unions operate under a handicap by
failing to appreciate the law and climate of government
service, For myself, I believe it is wiser to hold fast to
that which is good in the civil service system and to press
forward for constant improvements in its structure and
methods.

Nearly forty years ago, Nicholas Murray Butler,
President of Columbia University and the sage of the
Republican party, called this problem “beyond compari-
son the most important which modern democracies have
to face.”

Employees Assn. Bills Would Aid Insecure |59 Quality
Local Workers, Set Up Labor Relations Board

ALBANY, Jan. 10—As The
LEADER goes to press, the legis-
lative program of the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Association in-
cludes between 50 and 60 bills
for the improvement of public ser-
vice in the State, in the counties
and in municipalities.

Among Association bills put into
the hopper during the first week
of the 1949 legislative session are
thes

measure involves one of the top
items on the Association's pro-

tions, The board would have pow-
er to head appeals on matters af-
fecting demotion, dismissal, or
suspension, to give advice to local
units of government on labor re-
lations, and to make certain reg-
ulations, The bill also would put.
into law the employees’ right of
self-organization. The measure is
probably the most advanced legis

if enacted would put New York

in its enlightened legislative pro-
gram.

DANNEMORA, Jan. 10—The

Dannemora on January 6, Regi-
nald L, Stark, President of the
Chapter, presided.

William F. McDonough, Execu-
tive Representative of the As-
sociation, Albany, addressed the
meeting.

Said Mr, McDonough:

“At its annual meeting on Oct-
ober 6th, 1947, over two years ago,
Association and civic leaders
pointed out clearly that a crisis
did exist in civil service admini-
stration in this State. Every day
that has passed since that meet-

the statements then made and
highligted the need for substan-
tial changes in State policy, for
additional laws, and for develop-
ment and financial support of
the personnel agencies established
to deal with examinations, classi-~
fication, salary standardization,
hours of work, payment for over-
time, leaves, retirement and other
complex problems attaching to
public employment.
What Is Sought

“We look with hope this year
to executive and legislative at~
tention to adjustment of salaries
of State employees to meet the
new level of prices, to the estab-
lishment of labor relations maoh~-
inery permitting employee parti-
cipation in negotiation and settle-

ment of public employment prob-

provide the security for disability
or advanced age in line with pres-
ent day social concepts; to a
maximum basic forty hour week

public employees; to annual basic
salaries for present per diem em~-
Ployees continued at work per-

major matters affecting different

“We are hopeful that the Goy-
ernor’s committee to study re-
organization of the Civil Service
Department will bring about im-

so vitally needed. Of first im-
portance is adequate personnel and
facilities to deal promptly with
examinations, classification, sal-
ary standardization, rating

pertinent to personnel admini-

as that involved in State and lo-

New Machinery
For Civil Service

{E Governor has set up a committee to examine the

question: How can civil service in the State of New
York be improved? The committee is an informal one,
with nothing rigid, so far as we know, and no commit-
ments as to its work. This informality may be a good
way of approaching the problem. We'd like to suggest
that the committee invite the general public to contribute
suggestions, hear the employee representatives, and con-
sider ways of divorcing civil service more decisively from
polit control. The machinery of civil service—whether
a three-man or a one-man Civil Service Commission—
seems less important to us than controls for the rehabili-
tation of the merit system. The committee, if this is within
its province, might also consider ways of utilizing more
modern examining techniques, and of enlarging the in-
genuity of civil service recruiting.

If the committee should go along with the one-man
Commission idea, it must suggest clearly the divisions of
power between the director and the so-called “advisory
counsel”; it must decide what the composition of the
counsel should be; it must consider ways of relieving the
single chief from the terrific pressures to which he would
be subject—pressures now divided among three commis-
sioners; it should examine carefully the civil service mech-
anisms of other cities and States—particularly those of
Pennsylvania, California, and the City of Los Angeles; and
it should give the most careful thought to the questio:
Can the director himself be chosen by means of nation-
wide civil service examination?

Employee Problem
Among State Troopers

EMO to State Police head John A. Gaffney:

The only group of State employees which is
afraid to exercise the traditional right of employee or-
ganization is the State Troopers. We know that, verbally
and theoretically, you have not forbidden such organiza-
tion. We also know the practical obstacles that have been
put in the way of such organization, the petty punishments
that have been visited upon Troopers interested in doing
employee work.

The Governor has on many occasions emphasized his
affirmative attitude about the right of employees to or-
ganize. He has evolved a working method—the conference
method—of dealing with employees. Negotiation in the
State has reached a high plane of maturity,

Everywhere, that is, except in your department, Mr.
Gaffney.

May we suggest, Sir, that employee organization must
come sooner or later. It would be wisdom to allow it to
grow honestly and openly, rather than hidden under
crevices of bitterness.

Council of New York oppose a

partment of Parks, A delega-
tion of the AFL members pro-
tested to Joseph E. O'Grady, City
Director of Labor Relations.

The AFL contends that reclas-
sification will deprive the em-
Ployees of valuable rights they

now enjoy and that the small
pay raise included in the Parks
Department proposal does_ not
compensate for this loss. Local
924 has charged the use of coer-
cive tacti¢s by the Department to
get employees to assent to their
reclassification. Reduced number
of working days are protested,
The NYC Civil Service Commis-
sion postponed until Wednesday,

hearing on the proposed reclassi-
fication, at 299 Broadway.

seems to “help the Disabled Vet-
eran.” ‘This universal attitude
promotes befuddled thought, half-
truths, misinformation, and even
deliberate distortions, all passed
under the guise of honorable and
equitable dealing with a situation
which is of the utmost importance
to all residents of the State.

No one would be so foolhardy
or ungrateful as to assert that
the really disabled veterans are
not worthy of any just reward
that the people of this land have
in their power to bestow. But the
reward must be truly a just one.

Under the present law, absolute
preference for all time is granted
in both entrance and promotional
examinations to veterans whose
disability may be as little as 10
per cent.
‘ny way the seriously disabled
veteran? Definitely not, because
those veterans (such as amputees,
the blinded, etc.), by the very
seriousness of their disability, are
utterly precluded from meeting
the physical and mental demands
of such employment.

‘Thus, who really reaps the ad-
vantage of disabled veterans pref-
erence? In most cases, it is the
veteran whose disability is trivial
or slight, such as one suffering
from varicose veins, fallen arches,
and the like. And who suffers as
a result? First, the entire body of
non-disabled veterans; second, the
whole civil service merit system;
third, all non-veterans who, be-
cause of age, type of work, etc.,
were precluded from entering the
service,

‘The Present Law and Proposals

At the present time, the law
with regard to Veteran Preference
in effect divides each civil service
eligible list into three separate
groups. The first is comprised
exclusively of Disabled Veterans
and they are arranged in the or-
der of their respective examination
marks, In both entrance and pro-
motional examinations, these vet-
erans receive absolute preference
for a disability even as low as
10 per cent. This absolute pref-
erence continues for all time.

In the second group are Non-
Disabled Veterans. Their pref-
erence, which also applies to both
entrance and promotional exam-
inations ts to expire under the
present law on December 31, 1950,
unless new legislation is enacted
in the meantime.

In the third and final group are
the Non-Veterans,

Eyen among the vast majority
of veterans, it is agreed that the
present law is unfair and harmful
in some of its provisions, Public
opinion on the subject has become
crystallized in the form of two
proposals intended to remedy these
defects. One is the Condon Bill,
the other the Mitchell Bill.

Present Status of These Bills

The State Constitution requires
that any changes in the present
Veteran Preference Law must be
passed by one session of the Legis-
lature and then passed by the
Legislature chosen at the suc-
ceeding general election of State
Senators, Following this, is must
receive approval from the voting
public _at the next general elec-
tion. In the 1948 legislative ses-
sion, both bills were passed by
both houses. In the next session,
both bills will again come up for
consideration. Whichever is passed
will appear on the ballot at the
general election in November, 1949,

If neither of these bills passes
the legislature at the next session,
the permanent absolute preference
of disabled veterans, as provided
by the present law, will continue
in its present full force and effect.
In_that even, NON-DISABLED
VETERANS will receive no pref-
erence of any kind after January,
1951,

Provisions of Each of the
Proposed Statutes

‘The Condon Bill would grant
preference for a period of five
years to both Disabled and Non-
Disabled Veterans, in that order
of priority, but only in entrance
examinations, The Condon Bill
also would grant absolute pref-
erence in promotional examina-
tions to disabled veterans to the
exclusion of non-disabled vet-
erans.

The Mitchell Bill would grant
8 10-point additional credit to
Disabled Veterans and a 5-point
additional credit to Non-Disabled
Veterans, This preference would
apply in entrance examinations
only but could be used as often

as desired until the veteran se-
cures a ciyil service position. with.

Does that reward in| 1’

the aid of such additional credit,
It further provides in promotional
examinations for a 5-point addi-
tional credit to Disabled Veterans
and a 2%-point additional credit
to Non-Disabled Veterans. Such
preference could be used at any
time until the veteran would be
promoted to a higher rank or posi-
tion, unless he had benefited al-
ready by it in an entrance exam-
ination,

The idea of granting fixed ad-
ditional points of credit to vet-
erans competing in civil service
examinations is not new. The
Federal Civil Service Commission
has been using it since World War
I with considerable success and
without arousing the antagonism
and bitter feeling that exists un-
der the present Veteran Preference

We
The Mitchell Bill is Fair

The Mitchell Bill is more de-
sirable and equitable, so far as
the interests of both the Dis-
abled and Non-Disabled Veterans,
and the public alike, are con-
cerned. It grants a reasonable
preference to all veterans in both
entrance and promotional exam-
inations and this preference may
be repeatedly invoked without lim-
itation of time until appointment
or promotion is gained. At the
same time, this Bill does not en-
tirely foreclose the non-veteran
from successfully competing in
civil service examinations. In con-
trast, the Condon Bill allows pref-
erence only for a period of 5
years in entrance examinations to
both Disabled and Non-Disabled
Veterans. In addition, the Con-
don Bill by granting absolute pref-
erence to Disabled Veterans alone,
and for all time, works a hard-
ship on all Non-Disabled Veterans
as well. Consider the fact that
the number of veterans in civil
service who receive a disability
rating of 10 per cent or more is
continually growing. Permanent
absolute preference for disabled
veterans would, in effect, close
promotional opportunities in civil
service to all non-disabled vet-
erans for the rest of their lives,

Specific Instance

To cite a specific instance. The
current eligible list for promo-
tion to the rank of Lieutenant in
the New York City Fire Depart-
ment comprises 2908 names, Of
these, approximately 400 are being
accorded absolute preference as
disabled veterans. It is doubtful
if the total number of promotions
from that list during the four
years of its existénce will exceed
that figure. The same situation
also will prevail as far as the
higher ranks are concerned. Now|
consider the fact that the Mitchell
Bill would reward equitably the
Disabled civil service veterans by
allowing them a 5-point prefer-

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER —

Sanitation Man
Test Opens in July

NYC will hold a Sanitation Man
(Class B) examination this year,
Next year it will conduct @ test
for Patrolman (P.D.,).

The Sanitation man test will
be opened for receipt of applica-
tions after July 1, The Civil Ser-
vice Commission could not say
just. when,

The test would be expedited, so
that the eligible list could be pro-
mulgated by the end of this year,
if necessary. The present list
would under no circumstances be
killed, but the new one would be
promulgated only after the cur-
rent one is exhausted, President
Joseph A. McNamara, of the Com-
mision, emphasized,

President McNamara conferred
with Samuel H. Galston, director
of examinations, on the holding
of the Sanitation Man test, and
on the possible period for receipt
of applications, but no announce-
ment was made following the talk
prior to the conference, President
McNamara said:

“From present indications, we'll
need another Sanitation Man list
by the end ot the year. No exam-
ination has yet been ordered by
the Commission, but all pro-
visionals have. been replaced in
that title and all the veterans,
both disabled and non-disabled, on
the list already have been certi-
fied for appointment.

“Sanitation Man will be the
next big exam, Holding it this
year would mean that the Patrol-
man exam would be held next

year.

“When the application period
for the Sanitation Man test will
be opened will depend on how soon

Assn. Fights
Income Tax
On Pensions

ALBANY, Jan. 10—While fight-
ing in the State Legislature for
retirement improvements, The
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion is also maintaining a drum-
fire of pressure on Congress and
the Internal Revenue Bureau to
exempt pensions from income tax.
Long research has convinced the
Association that income tax pay-
ments constitute a major hard~
ship to old people who have spent
their adult lives in public service,

It is reported that a committee
of the Social Security Agency has
found that the government ac-
‘tually gets not one cent from in-
come tax payments from public
employee pensioners, considering
the cost of collecting and proces-
sing. Moreover, pensioners under
the Railroad Retirement Act and
the Social Security Act are exempt
from income tax payments, The
Asociation is asking that all an-
nuities under $2,000 be exempt
from income tax payments,

$1,500 Annuity

Representatives of the organiza-
tion have met with representa-
tives of the State Retirement Sys-
tem to work out a program, The
Association has a detailed plan,
which it maintains is actuarially
sound, Among other things, the
Assoclation 1s demanding a $1,500

minimum retirement annuity,

the certifications appear to ap-
proach their end, from the pres-
ent list, as well as the percentage
of acceptance of job offers, which
is reported to be rising, and which
may rise even more perceptibly.

“Make it plain that we'll pro-
bec) the present eligibles to the.
end,”

The Sanitation Man (Class B)
job pays $60 a week and is @
Permanent one in the competitive
class.

The records in the Commission's
Certification Bureau, of which
Sylvester Connolly is head, show
that there are 694 names still on
the present list. The first certi-
fication of non-veterans is being
made this week, consisting of 300
names, all non-yeterans, The to-
tal number of actual vacancies
4s 200, against which are to be
compared the 900 eligibles, count-
ing the 300 newly certified and the
600 still to be certified. Promo-
tions, retirement, resignations and
ce would increase that num-

r.

The necessity for holding the
examination this year arises from
the danger of increasing the num-
ber of provisionals should there
be no new list ready when the
old one is used up, Mayor William
O'Dwyer is keen about reducing
the number of provisionals to a
minimum in all departments, es-
pecially in this Mayoralty ¢am-
paign year,

Mayor is Pleased

Sanitation Commissioner Wil-
liam J, Powell notified Mayor O'-
Dwyer that, as of January 1,
there were no provisionals in the
title. The Mayor was glad to
learn this.

It is expected that appointments
will average 500 a year for the
four-year maximum legal life of
the prospective eligible list.

Philip Bainnson, of the Sani-
tation Department’s personfiel
division, said that promotions to
Clerk, Grade 5, have been re-
quested and that two promotions
from Sanitation Man to Tractor
Operator were expected.

Heffley and Browne School
Announces Spring Term

On Mondays during January
and February the Heffley and
Browne Secretarial School will
begin new classes for high school
graduates, veterans and other stu-
dents seeking business and secre-
tarial training. The school is
located at 7 Lafayette Avenue,
in Brooklyn, where it occupies
three floors of the City Savings
Bank Building.

Flexible programs and schedules
have been planned for both the
day and evening sessions in busi-
ness, secretarial, office machine,
court and convention reporting
courses, The school is registered
by the New York State Board of
Regents and approved for the
training of veterans. Under pro-
vision of the G.I, Bill, veterans
are entitled to full tuition and
subsistence while attending the
school,

Dr. Robert Strebridge, director
of the Heffley and Browne Secre-
tarial School, reports that the
school’s employment bureau has
had no falling-off in requests for
trained office personnel,

Sipervicore Pay Ochetda

(Continued from Page 1)
the number of persons supervised
were listed by the Commission
as follows:

“(@) The difficulty, variety, and
complexity of the work super-
vised.—The job of the supervisor
or a small group engaged in diffi-
cult and varied operations is en-
titled to a higher grade than that
of @ supervisor of a large group
engaged in simple operations.

“(b) The degree to which the
supervisor has relieved himself of
routine details by delegating au-
thority to his employees to act
on everyday matters,—A supervi-
sor who has so organized his
unit that he has time to set ob-
jectives, train his staff, and de-
velop their working effectiveness,
has a more responsible job than
one who has buried himself in a
mass of detailed problems which

he should have trained his staff

ito solve.

“(c) The partioular content and
value of the supervisory function
exercised.—A reviewer, for ex-
ample, is not exercising a full
supervisory function, Supervision
consists of such functions as plan-
ning, organizing, coordinating, and
controlling work, delegating res-
Pponsibilities and authority to act,
making sure that each employee
knows what his job is and its
relation to the unit’s work pro-
gram, setting standards of per-
formance, taking account of ac-
tual performance, aiding employ-
ees to meet performance stand-
ards, training personnel in work
methods, stimulating accomplish-
ment, and developing morale, A
supervisor of a small group carry-
ing on full supervisory functions
may easily outrank a ‘partial’ su-

pervisor of a large group.”

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

Tuesday, Jammy 1),

The applications for the Sub-
stitute Railway Postal Clerk ex-
amination, which were limited to
veterans, except for some present
non-status incumbents, reached a
staggering number, the Second
Regional Office of the U. S. Civil
Service Commission reported.

The office does not tally the
number of applications in an ex-
amination conducted through the
central office, but it found from
results in New York and New Jer-
sey, that they greatly exceeded all
expectations.

‘The applications for the $1.39-
cents-an-hour job closed last week.
The total annual pay for a 40-
hour week, day work, is $2,890.

The announcement number of
the examination is 144.

Where Test Will Be Held

The enormous response neces-
sitates best possible preparation
by candidates for passing the
written test. No date has yet
been announced. However, it will
be held simultaneously throughout
the United States, and the loca-
tion of the examination points, in
New York State and New Jersey,
follow:

New York—Albany, Bingham-
ton, Brooklyn, Buffalo, Dunkirk,
Elmira, Flushing, Glens Falls,
Hamilton, Hornell, Ithaca, Jam-
aica, Jamestown, Kingston, Long
Lsland City, Malone, Newburgh,
New York, Ogdensburg, Olean,
Oswego, Plattsburgh, Poughkeep-
sie, Rochester, Schenectady, Syra-
‘Troy, ‘Utica, Watertown,

Batavia, Hempstead,
town, Oneonta, Riverhead,
Saranac Lake.

New Jersey—Atlantic City, Cam-
den, Elizabeth, Newark, New
Brunswick, Paterson, Trenton, As-
bury Park, Lakewood, Long
Branch, Red Bank.

High Marks Needed

Study material on sorting and
general information were pub-
lished in the December 21 and 28
issues of The LEADER. Study
books specially prepared for can-
didates in this test also offer val-
uable aid in helping a candidate
not only to pass but to pass with
a high mark.

The necessity for getting a high
earned score arises not only from
the large number of applicants
but from the limitation of the test
practically to veterans, so that,
the disabled veteran
eligibles get the vet-
preference, with 10 points

eran
added, the other candidates being |

mainly non-disabled veterans
whose advantage practically lev-
els off because all these get same
five points.
More Study Material

In connection with preparation
for the*examination it is well to
have some idea of the setup of

Rail Mail Clerk

Response Terrific;
Study Material

cerning the Railway Mail Service.
Hence the following is given as
additional study material:

The Post Office Department ts
an executive department. Its head
is the Postmaster General, ap-
pointed by the President. There
are four Assistant Postmasters
General, First, Second, ete.
original purpose of the
ment was to convey letters and
intelligence throughout the con-
tinent. Since then the purpose
and geographical area have been
enlarged. The purposes and ad-
juncts are now numerous; the
area is world wide.

Added Functions

Among the more important
functions and services added to the
department were, postage stamps,
1847; registered mail, 1855; ratl-
way mail service, 1862; city deliv-
ery service, 1963; postal money or-
ders, 1864; foreign money orders,
1867; special delivery, 1885; rural
delivery, 1896; postal savings,
1911; village delivery, 1912; parcel
post, including collect-on-delivery
service, 1913; air mail, 1918.

It may be particularly import-
ant in taking this examination to
know the actual year when the
Railway Mail Service was estab-| the
lished, 1862, and to know the
technically correct title of the
test, Substitute Railway Postal
Clerk. The phrase Railway Mail
Clerk is colloquial.

‘The examination is expected to
be of the short-answer, or mul-
tiple choice, type. Both mean that
the questions are given, also an
assortment of answers. The an-
swer to each question is to be
registered by the candidate mark-
ing an oblong with a pencil. Thus
the finished paper may be slid
through a machine later and rated
electrically. An electric eye's light
is stopped by the pencil mark at
the position for the correct an-
swer. All papers are manually | argu
examined, to make sure that mul-
tiple answers given are not to
the same question.

The first Postmaster General,
under the Continental Congress,
was Benjamin Franklin, (1775).
Samuel Osgood was the first one
under the constitution (1789). The
present one is Jesse M. Donaldson.

World’s Biggest Business

The U. S. Post Office is the
largest business in the world. It
employs nearly 500,000 workers
and has an annual pay roll of

| more than one billion dollars,

The total annual handle is now
more than $17 billion and gross
receipts exceed one billion, There
are about 42,000 post offices
throughout the U. S.

The LEADER Bookstore, 97
Duane Street, New York 7, N. ¥.,
has two comprehensive study
books on Substitute Postal Mail

Real Reason

The real reason why some of the
GOP boys are seeking a probe is
this: Only possible way in which
O'Dwyer could be defeated for the

major scandal, They even say it
would have to involve the Mayor
himself or his innermost ad-
visers to be effective.

Moreover, the probe would have
to be completely successful, or i
would defeat its own ends. The
GOP politico who is trying to
head off a probe thinks Pe Mgt
will run for re-election. But, he

argues, if there’s a small chance
O'Dwyer might not run, why farce
him to? An investigation would

a Republican investigation, this
Politico believes the GOP is really
in the soup. Here’s why, he points
out: A man can become import-
ant, even great, if he begins as
the underdog in a feud and comes
out on top. The GOP would then
be in the position of haying built
its own Frankenstein monster —
the man who might be the next
Governor of the State.

If the GOP should start an in-
vestigation of New York City, this
ies, Republican poobah figures,
it would set off a load of political
dynamite such as the State has
never seen.

Fact No. 2—There’s a plan un-

Smoke Hides More Fire C Dep t.
Flames Than Greet the =A

In an aura of fantastic public
relations, the NYC Fire Depart-
ment last week reached what was
one of the high points in its career
of excitement and feuds,

The series of events began with
the suspension of Fire Chief Peter
Loftus for having attended a gay
party held in @ city firehouse;
it proceeded to the revelation that
Fire Commissioner Frank Quayle,
had himself held his own party
at Fire Headquarters; at that
point Mayor O'Dwyer stepped in,
and during a speech at a Police
Department promotion, castigated
the civil service status of the Fire
Chief, and using the word “graft
in connection with the Fire De-
partment, The newspaper head-
lines began screaming; and while
the general public counldn’t help
but get the impression that the de-
partment is graft-ridden, Commis-
sioner Quayle meekly explained
that the Mayor meant graft in pre-
ceding administrations, not his
own.

What Happened Next

Now the tempo quickened. Up
in Albany, a bill was introduced
making the Fire Chief appoint-

ment discretionary with the Fire
Commisioner,

In what seemed like an in-
credible paradox, machine Demo-
crat Quayle named one-time Pre-
siding Justice William R. Bayes of
Special Sessions, a 3rd Deputy
Fire Commissioner to preside at
departmental trials. Bayes is a
Republican, and this might im-
prove the Quayle public relations
situation.

Firefighters Jittery

Meanwhile, jittery groups of
flremen and fire officers gathered
quietly, They were afraid to talk.
‘They didn't know what was going
to happen next, To close news-
paper friends, they told of how
morale was down, how Quayle
and Loftus had fought one anoth-
er, of the feuding between Loftus
and Fire Chief of Staff Frank
Murphy at fires, of Quayle'’s
charges that Loftus was incom-
petent. Meanwhile, Quayle and
the Mayor pounded again and
again — but at the time of this
writing the point was lost in the
hullabaloo — the point of view
that a Fire Chief must be sub-
servient to the Fire Commissioner,
the two men must be able to work
together, and that it was impos-
sible to run @ department where
there was feuding between the
Commissioner and the Chief,

Tt was recalled that Quayle had
pushed another Fire Chief, Harold
J. Burke, out of the job, even
though Burke had built up the
Navy firefighting structure during
the war and had been concededly
jone of the finest firefighting ex-
perts in the country,

Code and the City Charter, The
Council bill would remove section
480 of the Administrative Code.
This section was put in through
the action of Former Fire Com-
missioner McElligott in 1936.
McElligott was then facing the
Possibility of disciplinary action
by LaGuardia, and if he was
booted out by the Mayor from
the Commissionership, he would
have retained his power as Chief
of the Department, The City
Charter, on the other hand, gives
the Commissioner the ultimate
power. If the City Council bill
had passed, it would haye re-
moved the ambiguity between the
two documents, would have left
the Commissioner in complete
control of the department — and
the Fire Chief would then be at
the Commissioner's disposal for
any duties the top man sees fit
to assign him. This action might
have been taken quietly, and Lof-
tus’ wings thus shorn, Now, with
the whole matter up in the air,
no one can say what will happen,

Why Was Bayes Brought In?

The action of bringing in Judge
Bayes was taken so that any pun-
ishment of Loftus would not have
an air of predetermination and
Republicans would have no kick
because one of, their own men
made the finding. With Bayes’
appointment, Nat Horwitz, who
had held the $7,500 job of 3rd
deputy commissioner, was put
back to his civil service status
as Law Assistant, with about a
$2,000 reduction in pay. However,
he'll later be back as Third Deputy
Assistant. Bayes will not stay in
the department long.

Some ‘Inside’ Facts

Some of the sidelights concern-
ing this situation are interesting:

Several priests had called Mayor
O'Dwyer on Loftus’ behalf. O’-
Dwyer gave Loftus, at their be-
seechment, two deadlines to hand
in his retirement papers. Loftus

“Minute Message?

one of Governor Dewey's cab-
inet officers advised him to cut
down the message to a 15-minute
summary, The advisers argued
that people don’t like to listen to
an hour-long exposition of budget
figures, His advice: the Governor
should lay down his major policies
in a short message, let the Legis-
lature and press read the details
in the printed version, Dewey
may do it like that next year,

Department. The reason is that
Murtagh’s father and Loftus were
from the Mayo county in Ireland,
and warm friends, Ironically,
O'Dwyer is from the same county
too, So the job of digging up the
dirt was turned over to First
Deputy Fire Commissioner James
P. Moran, the Mayor's trouble-
shooter in the department,

Speech Didn’t Work Out

‘The Mayor had planned his ad-
dress to the Police Department, at
which he contrasted the two de-

artments, with care. But once
he used the word “graft” the
whole point was lost. And mem-
bers of the Fire Department went
around whispering that it would
be difficult to prove that there
had ever been more graft in the
Fire Department than in the Po-
lice Department, In response to
the Mayor's contention that it
was good to have a wide choice
of men, from Captain up, from
which to choose inspectors, men
in both the Police and Fire De-
partment argued that once a man
becomes a Police captain, he
spends the rest of his time pulling
political strings to get an ap-
pointment as Inspector.

6,398 on Fireman List;
300 Not Yet in the Clear

‘The Fireman (F.D.) eligible list,
containing 6,398 names, is ex-
pected to be published by the
NYC Civil Service Commission
next month. It is the next large
list for publication, after the one
for the triple examination—Tran-
sit Patrolman, Correction Officer
and Bridge and Tunnel Officer—
which is due this month,

The Fireman exceeds what the
Commission expected. The prob-
able vacancies during the four-
year legal maximum life of the
list are figured at 2,500. Some-
where around twice as many vet-
erans alone will be on the list
than there are expected vacancies,
therefore the non-veterans would
have small likelihood of a job
offer, unless declinations run high,
which they never do for the Fire-
man job, or the veteran prefer-
ence law is changed, or is
lowed to expire for non-veterans,
by the present law's terms, on
December 31, 1950,

The Commission is considering
using the list also for other titles
than Fireman. Jobs of an in-
spectional or enforcement nature
might be offered. Any one de-
clining would remain on the Fire-
man list. The acceptance of an
offer for an “appropriate” job

cepted who will have to remedy
curable medical defects before
they can be appointed. They are
said to number about 300. After
the list is published, but not be-
fore, they must apply for @ re-
medical examination, The Com-
mission does not call them in of
its own accord,

The defects are principally
teeth, varicose veins, hydrocele,
hemorrhoids and a case histo

Those accepted conditionall
will find their names on the list
as published, and even as pro-
mulgated later, that is, made of-
fictal, when certifications can be
begun. However, they will not be
certified until the condition that
kept them out of the clear is
remedied.

There is an existing Fireman
list of around 150 names, and
that will be used up before any
appointments are made from the
new list. There is no city need
for the new list until the old one
is exhausted.

No decision has been reached

on when the next batch ef Fire-
man appointments will be made.
When the January 1 promotions
were put through no Firemen were
appointed. Thus the number of
Fireman vacancies increased, since
any promotion affects the Fire-
man rank, When a Fireman be-
comes a Lieutenant, @ vacancy is
created .
