Congress Speeds Pay Raises,

Pushes Retirement Measure

WASIIINGTON.— Congress really has swung into action since the Jap attack.

And some of the Congressional work is greatly benefiting Federal workers.

the legislative front:

—A bil has been reported to

the House which would raise
the per diem of Federal em-
ployees sent on travel duty from
$5 to $6 a day within the limits
of the United States, and $7 a
day beyond the United States
limit: The bill is expected to
be approved by the Congress as
it has the support of the Admin-
istration,

* Committee has reported fa-
vorably the Ramspeck-Mead Re-

Congress. In general, the bill

would liberalize the retirement

4,—The House has before it an-

other Ramspeck bill which
wou'd modernize the Classifica-
tion Act. The bill is backed solid-
ly by the Administration and Fed-
eral employee organizations. The
bill would set a minimum salary
of $1,200 for adult full-time work
in the Government service, It
would raise the base pay of all

custodial and sub-professional em-
ployees; it would raise guards
from a minimum of $1,200 to
$1,500; and char, workers would
be given an increase of 5 cents
an hour.

The upper brackets, from $5,600
to $8,000, woutd be re-adjusted and
a new bracket from $900 to $10,000
would be added, The Budget Bu-
reau estimates the bill would cost
a gross of nearly $20,000,000 and
$15,000,000 net. Of the gross cost,
$15,000,000 would go to 150,000 cus-
todial workers.

Naval Employees Ask Time
Off or Pay for Holiday Work

The Navy Yard Civil Service
Association this week pressed
for swifter action on the Byrd-
O'Toole Bill providing for com-
pensatory time off or additional
pay for naval employees required
to work on holidays and on days
when the departments and estab-
lishments of the government are
elo. ed by executive order.

he Association ‘urged that the
bill be transferred from the Com-
mittee on Civil Servi to the
House Naval Affairs Committee
because it pertains to working
hours of only Navy Department
personnel,

Resulted From Injustice
‘The bill was introduced in the
House as H.R. 6222 by Rep. Don-
ald L. O'Toole, of Brooklyn, who

has since been requested to trans-
fer it to the Naval Affairs Com-
mittee. Mr. O'Toole, seeing the

affecting 35 clerks in the account-

about seeking the passage of the
legislation. The clerks were or-
dered to work to prepare the per

Navy Yard mechanics, for which
they received no extra compensa-

Rep. O'Toole has worked in
close cooperation with the Navy

press for passage of the bill but
to eliminate the word ‘‘regular"

LAWYERS WITHIN
THE U. S. SERVICE

The Board of Legal Examiners
set up within the Federal Ciyi)
Service Commission to draft ‘,
merit system for the recruitment,
selection, appointment, promotion
and transfer’? of Government
attorneys 1s struggling with tho
problem of effective testing pro.
cedure,

The steps leading to the Execu.
tive Order df April 10, under
whtch attorney positions in Fed.
eral service, with few exceptions,
were brought into the classified
civil service, as well as some prob.
lems besetting the Board of Legal
Examiners, charged under the or-
der, with the task of developing
the merit system for those posi-
tions was outlined recently
by Herbert Wechsler, Associate
Professor of Law at Columbia
University Law School, who is ex-
ecutive secretary of the Board of
Legal Examiners of the U. §.
Civil Service Commission, Mr.
Wechsier’s address appears in the
current issue of the Lawyers’
Guild Review.

The Background

The creation of the board and
the basic provisions of the Execu-
tive Order, Mr. Wechsler states,
derive from the report of tho
President's Committee on Civil
Service Improvement of which tho
chairman was U. 8, Supreme
Court Justice Stanley Reed. Tho
committee was named by tho
President following his order stay-
ing an earlier decree which would
have swept into the civil service
system some 5,000 professional
and higher administrative posi-
tions, of which attorneys consti-
tuted the large majority,

The committee was in entiro
agreement on the desirability of
including professional positions in
the government service in a broad
extension of the merit system but
disagreed in the case of attorneys,
as to how this should be done,

One Group Wanted Civil Service
One group in the committes
wanted the lawyers treated like
other applicants for other Federal
civil service posts. They proposed
that the selection be left to tho
Civil Service Commission and that
the competing candidates bo
Placed on ranked registers or lists
with certification for the top
three, This plan was rejected in
the Executive Order which put in-
to official effect the plan spon
sored by that group in the com:
mittee headed by Mr. Justice
Reed,

Board of Legal Examiners

Under this plan the selection,
recruitment, promotion and trans:
fer powers were placed in the
hands of the Board of Legal Ex-
aminers set up in the Comm
sion and qualified candidates were
to be placed on an unranked reg-
ister, from which department
heads might select any. man, with-
out limitation.

The written test was flatly re-
Jected by the committee sponsor
of the adopted plan and the board
1s now engaged in efforts to draft
a fair and effective rating plan
based on the candidate's educa-
tional qualifications, coupled with
a form of aptitude test which
would be part ofan oral examina-
tion or interview.

‘The plan, as outlined by M?.
Weehsler, opens attractive public
career vistas for many budding
young lawyers but it is also in-
tended to provide some oppot-
tunities for older men who are
struggling against odds in private
practice,

However, because of budgetary
limitations, the Board of Legal
Examiners hasn't been able t0
start effective work. At this
point, the hiring of attorneys for
federal positions is in a. tangled
mess. For the most part, per
nel officers are taking on men a5
they need them, Also, the 1
Service Commission has estab
lished a list upon which any
lawyer may have his name €"-
tered. Then, if an appointing of
ficer wishes to refer to the Com
mission list in hiring, he may 40

Wartime Civil Service: Report No.

Vast Changes in Federat Set-up—Non-Defense Agencies Doomed — Shortage of Competent
Employees Is Acute—Take Stenos as Young as 17 —Christmas Leaves Cancelled — Work-Week
Increase—“Selective Service” for Workers Transferred to Defense Agencies—All Alert for Air Raids

WASHINGTON.—-On the Washington war front:
1.—Figures that would have seemed fantastic only a few months ago are being

quoted here as the number of new Federal workers that will be needed to
carry on the war, It’s now being predicted, for example, that civilian employ-

ment will reach 2,000,000 within a year.

Now there

are 1,450,000 employees.

Jt’s estimated that 100,000 additional workers will be needed in Washington.

—Vast reorganization of the

“Federal government is in
prospect, Congress has approved
the Overman Act which will give
the President authority to con-
solidate, abolish and merge Fed-
eral bureaus, It’s now proposed
that the Government
placed on a defense basis,
non-defense agencies are prob-
ably doomed.

—The shortage of competent

* employees in nearly all classes
is becomingacute, The shortage of
stenos has become so urgent that
both the Office of Production
Management and the War De-

partment are begging people to
take jobs. OPM has many open-
ings for Grade 3 stenos. The jobs
pay $1,620, but applicants must
have had government experience.
If you are interested, see or write
to Helen Thomas on the first
floor of Temporary Building 5,
which is located at Fourth Street
and Adams Drive, S.W.

Stenos As Young As 17
—War Department will hire
* stenos who are as young as 17,
if they can take dictation at 80
words a minute and can type 40
words a minute. If interested,
apply at Temporary Building No.
2, at 20th and Virginia Avenue,
N.W., Room 2008, OPM will take
stenos hired in other government
a

agencies, but the War Depart-
ment won't.

5,—Federal employees and ofti-

* cials are on the alert for an
air attack. Venetian blinds must
be lowered and slats closed or
shades drawn at 4 p.m. daily.
‘They mustn't be opened until the
following morning. The char
force has been instructed to re-
port violators, Air-raid wardens
are being appointed in each Fed-
eral building.

Longer Work Week
6.—Navy has abolished Saturday
* afternoon holidays for the
duration. Its employees are on a

48-hour week. All Civil Service
employees are now on a 44-hour

work week. FBI employees are
averaging 50 hours a week and
the Commerce and Treasury de-
partments are expected -to soon
place their employees on extended
work weeks, Incidentally, the
drive to extend hours has dimin-
ished somewhat. Cooler heads
Pointed out that the war effort
should be shifted down before
hours of all employees are length-
ened.

Xmas Leave Cancelled

7,—Xias leave is being cancelled

* the Government over. Civil
Service is limiting its employees
to a single day’s leave, and only
two hours’ leave will be given all
employees on December 24 in-
stead of the full day, as is the
usual custom. OPM and OEM
have cancelled Christmas leaves
as have the War and Navy de-
partments among a great many
others,

President Sanctions Transfers
8.~As predicted in The LEAD-

* ER, the President has issued
an executive order which will give
defense agencies priorities on the

services of Federal employe
Thousands of workers are expec!
ed to be transferred to dsfense
agencies such as War, Navy, OPM
and OEM under the sweeping or-
der. The order will be admin-
istered by the Civil Service Com=
mission and it will request the
transfer of persons to defense
agencies when it is determined
these people can be replaced in
their present jobs. The employees
and agencies where they are em-
ployed must agree to the transfer
but*the order gives the Commis-
sion a big stick and the op'nion
of the agencies won't be per-
mitted to stand in most cases.

Q.—The Government gives the

* employees transferred the
same protection given employees
who are drafted for military serv-
ice. In a sense, the President's
order is Selective Service for Fed-
eral workers. After the emer-
gency, the employee can get his
old job back or one similar, But
if the job is abolished, he will be
placed on the re-employment list
and will be given preference im
filling vacancies,

Settling Civil Service
Disputes in Britain

By W. J. BROWN
neral Secretary, British Civil
Service Clerical Association

A number of meetings would
take place between the two sides
at the end of which, one of three
things would happen. We might
perhaps secure agreement upon
our claim, In this case the settle-
ment would be reduced to paper,
and copies of it would be cireu-
luted to all departments with in-

tructions that they were to put
the new seale of pay Into effect.

Or secondly, we might get suf-
ficiently near to our objective to
induce us to say that, although it
fell short of our complete claim,
we would accept it. Here again,
the terms would be reduced to

writing, and circulated to the de-
partments.

Or thirdly, we might reach a
deadlock on the claim

If this happened the next step
would be to take the claim to ar-
bitration.

Here I had better-explain, that
years ago we forced on the Gov-
nment in Britain the principles
of compulsory arbitration on the
wages, hours, and leave of Civil
Service Servants. At any time
when there is an irreconcilable
dispute on their issues we can file
our claim before the arbitration
court, and the Treasury or the De-
partment concerned must enter
@n appears to defend its posi-
tion. The award of the Court is
binding on both parttes. The court
consists of an independent chair-
man, Sir Harold Morris, K.C., one

representative drawn from the
panel nominated by the unions
and one representative drawn
from a panel nominated by the
government, So if we reach a
deadlock on our claim for the
Clerical Assistants, we should

then send the case to the Arbi-
tration Court. The Court fixes a
day for hearing and the proceed-
y much like

ings are rather ye

those in a court of law.
Now apart rrom the method of
direct negotiation between the
unions and the Departments,

there is another piece of machin-
ery of great importance. In every
department there is what is
known as a “Joint Whitley Coun-
cil." This consists of representa-
tives of the administration, and
representatives of the unions hav-
ing members in that department.
It meets at regular intervals and
discusses and if possible settles
by agreement any question affect-
ing the staff of that department.
‘There Is also a similar Joint Whit-
ley Council for the Civil Service
as a whole, Tt discusses, and if
possible, settles py agreement,
matters affecting-the whole ser-
vice or the staff of two or more
departments. ‘The staff sides of
such councils haye the same right
to proceed to arbitration in the
event of deadlock as the unions
themselves possess.

T have now given, I hope, a fai
ly clear picture of the general set
up of the Civil Service in Britain,
of its classification, its recruit-
ment and its trade union sture-
ture.

PATROLMAN PREPARATION

Applications for Patrolman open in January and the examination is expected in May,

Few men regardless of physical condition or education can hope to pass either the physical
or mental test with a high percentage without specialized training. During the last twenty-five
years close to 90% appointed to and promoted in the Police Department have been prepared by us.

Any young man who is interested in taking the coming Patrolman test is invited to call
and be examined by our physician without cost, attend a mental class and take a physical trial ex
amination to ascertain what percentage he can make. The special features of our physical train-
ing are the 12 laps to a mile track on the roof of our gymnasium, the agility test and the coordi-
nation machines,

2. Drill a small hole 1 inch from both

3. Cut a piece of blackout material which

longer than the window to be covered.

4. Wrap one end of the material around

material around the other stick and fasten
with tacks.

5. Cut two pieces of cord, each 18 inches

6. Push the ends of the cord through
the holes in the stick and tie a knot in
each end so that there will be a distance
of approximately 3 inches between the
stick and the cord when the center of
the cord is held taut. Fix the second cord
in the other stick in the same manner.

Whenever this blackout screen is not in use,
it may be rolled up and placed in a conve-

It may be hung over or under the draperies
and curtains, provided it extends at least 8
inches beyond the window on all sides. If all

This type of screen is sightly and inexpen-

The blackout screen may be of any dark

Boochever, secretary to Acting
Commissioner Peter F. Amoroso,
that “no prisoners in this city will
be caught like rats in a trap when
air raids come."
Bmergency lights and fire fight

for all of the city’s buildings of de-
tention, especially for their hos-
itals. Test blackouts have been

Mr. Boocheever.

‘The department believes in pre-
paring its inmates psychologically
as well as otherwise. By permitting
prisoners to walk around with their
associates during an air raid,and

ving obtained their pledges
not to try to effect any escapes dur-
ing the emergency, Department of
Correction officials believe _tney
have solved the major problems.

During raid, inmates will be
brought’ from ‘the top tlers to the
lower reaches so as tn be protected
more adequately. Hospital cases
will be removed to lower sections
of the building wherever possible,
too, Emergency crews have been
appointed for these transfers.

entire institutions have ‘to be
vacated, araragements have aiready
been made with the Department of
‘Transportation for the removal of
prisoners :n vans to other insutu-

inmates, according to Mr.
Boocheever have been extremely
willing to participate in all of these
plans because “they feel it. th
Patriotic duty to do so. All of them
are anxious to help their wardens.”
Members of the department have
been trained to help in the removal
of inmates and in facilitating the
transfer of food from one institu-
tion to another, as welt as in pie-
serving calm, They are now taking
an intensive course in this work.

Water Supply,
Gas, Electricity

ATRICK QUILTY, career man
Commissioner of the Department
of Water Supply, Gas and Elec:

tricity, stated to The LEADER that

“this’’ department is’ cooperating

with the Police, Fire, Public We

departments and Borough President
offices in all boroughs in case of
any bombing or emergency.

Specifically, Commissioner Quilty
pointed out that 200 electrical in-
spectors ‘are prepared to teach po-

Hee and air raid wardens how to

turn’ oft the time clocks which

operate the lignts on individual
lamp-posts. at the present time ap-
proximately 50 or 6) inspectors are

Instructing. air raid wardens at

night in this procedure.

Gommissioner Quilty explained
that time-clocks in” the — street
lamp-posts operate astronomically.

The clocks are set to turn the

street lights on and off at dif-

ferent times each day, depending
upon the season of the’ year. It is
estimated that in case or a bla

out, 81,000 air raid wardens will
be 'neetied to petforia this vital

as!

‘Commission Quilty revealed that a
plan to have the present system
Changed so that alt lamp-post
lights could be turned off at one:
is under consideration. “However,
the Commissioner said, “This plan
would cost several million douars
and take about one year's time to
put into effect.""

Although the full resources of
the department would be brought
into action in the event of a bomb-
ing, the chief problem facing this
vital city agency today is the
shortage of water in the city's
reservoirs. “The rain last week
helped some, but the reservoirs are
less than one-third full’

‘The work of the other New York
City departments in the war pro-
gram will be discussed in forth-
coming issue

War Hits Patrolman Test

New York City Isn’t Impossible

Police Shortage in

Although definite word from
the Mayor’s office—via the Bud-
get Director—is not expected un-
til some time this week, indica-
tions are that the Patrolman
exam will be conducted “as usual”
by the Municipal Civil Service
Commission.

It will be recalled that the test,
originally set for the current De-
cember series of the Commission,
was postponed at the last minute
when the okay from City Hall
wasn’t forthcoming in time.

Here is the way the changed
war situation affects the test, ac-
cording to the best indications of
the day:

First, the Commission would

like to give the test as soon as
possible. Which means that it
will do all in its power to an-
nounce the test in the January
series. City officials—particular-
ly those directly concerned with
civilian defense—fear a shortage
of adequate police should New
York City be attacked. One pre-
caution would be a good-sized po-
lice eligible list Should the
Commission get the go-ahead sig-
nal, all parts of the test will be
held as soon as practical, and the
list can be expected long before
the first of 1943.

Requirements to Stand

Second, there will be no slack-
ening of the requirements on the
test. Commission President Paul
J. Kern strongly feels that in
time of war, Civil Service stand-

ards should, if anything, be
heightened because of the greater
need for competent public per-
sonnel, He said as much .ast
Sunday at the round-table coa-
ference on Civil Service in wars
time, sponsored by The LEADER
over WINS. The age maximun
of 29 will stand, as will the other
requirements that have appeared
in these columns on many occa~
sions.

Third, should the city actually
be in danger of attack, emergency
police may be taken on, but they
will definitely be of emergency
caliber. The regular police force
will probably assume control over
such a for

Clerks Admitted to Steno Promunod

Commission Differs With Its Own Examiner

Grade 2 clerks will be admitted
to the stenographer, grade 3
promotion test, the Civil Service
Commission ruled at its meeting

last week.

‘The ruling was made after nu-
merous grade 2 clerks in the city
service protested in writing to the
Commission on the requirements
for the stenographer, grade 3
test, announced by the Commis-
sion this month. The Commis-
sion will re-announce the examin-
ation with the changed require-
ment in the near future. Applica-
tions will be reopened in order
that all grade 2 clerks who desire
to take this examination may file
an application.

Examiner Refuted

The decision of the Commission
was a rather startling one inas-
much as it differed from the opin-
jon of an examiner of the Com-
mission who studied the situation.
The examiner had recommended
that the requirements remain the
same and grade 2 clerks be ex
cluded from the stenographer,
grade 3 test.

Wants Broader Base

In commenting on the Commis
sion’s decision, Paul J. Kern,
president of the Civil Service
Commission said, “The broader
the promotion base, the greater
the promotion opportunity. The
Commission has a policy of estab-
lishing the broadest base possible

Supermen Get Closer to
JobsPayingMoreMoney

Sanitation eligibles who have
accepted appropriate positions
paying less than $1,500 per year,
will be recertified in the order
of their standing, to appropriate
positions paying $1,500 per year
or more, according to a ruling
of the N.Y.C. Civil Service Com-
mission this week.

Under the former set-up, eli-
gibles on the sanitation man list
who accepted appropriate jobs at
any salary were not permitted to
accept any other appropriate jobs
and were eligible only for ap-
pointment to the Sanitation De-
partment itself.

Under the new set-up supermen

who have accepted such jobs as
porter in the Board of Transpor-
tation, which pay $.57 per hour,
will be certified for other appro-
priate jobs paying $1,500 per year
or more. In turn, eligibles further
down on the list will be offered
porter and other jobs paying less
than $1,500 per year. The op-
portunities for employment in ap-
propriate jobs of all kinds should
be increased immediately to sani-
tation eligibles.

Eligibles who accept the $1,500
per year jobs will be removed
from the sanitation man list for
a period of one year. After the
year is over, they will be eligible
only for further appointments to
the sanitation department.

Furious Action on Fire Lists

Things Happen Fastas Old List Dies, New One Not Yet “Ready”

The possibility that appoint-
ments from the new fireman list
will not be made for some time
was foreseen this week by fast
and furious action on the Fire
Department front, Highlighted in
this complicated picture were:

1, Fifty last-minute appoint-
ments were made from the old
fireman eligible list which ex-
pired midnight Monday, Decem-
ber 15, The fifty men worked
one tour of duty and were
promptly given a six monthe
leave of absence without pay.
Presumably these men were
given a leave of absence because
there were no funds available to
pay their salaries.

2. As The LEADER went to
press, the new fireman list was
not yet promulgated by the Civil

Service Commission. Permanent
appointments can not be made
until the list is certified. The list
cannot be certified until it is

promulgated. When a list is
“promulgated,” it is ready for
use.

Want Older Men

Why were appointments made
from eligibles who finished close

to 4,000 on the old list instead of
from top eligibles on the new list?
Secretary Richard Warner of the
Fire Department satd that ap-
pointments from the old list were
made because these men were
older... more likely to be mar-

ried, have dependents . . . less
likely to be drafted.
Meanwhile Mayor LaGuardia

has come out even more strongly
against the drafting of firemen,
To date 52 firemen have been

drafted into military service. An
additional 20 who were members
of guard and reserve units have
been ordered into military duty.
Boys Sent to Watersheds

As revealed in last week's
LEADER, names of eligibles on
the new Fireman list were sent
over to the Board of Water Sup-
ply before it had been officially
promulgated. The appointments
were made temporary subject to
future certifications.

CiTY COURSES

With in-service training des-
tined to become one of the most
vital branches of public service
during the emergency, New York
City’s Bureau of Training last
week launched several courses for
city employees:

An administrative conference on
municipal personnel _ problems,
with executive and administra-
tive officers discussing personnel
matters. Commissioner Wallace
S. Sayre presided at the first ses-
sion last Monday.

Two courses in supervision for
Department of Purchase super-
visors, given on Mondays and
Wednesdays, respectively.

A course in Grogg speed stenog-

graphy for employees of the
Health Department
A course in Pitman specd

stenography for employees of the

Reading for Comprehension —

A Continuation of the Third of a Series of Articles
on Preparation for Civil Service Examinations.

By Gertrude B. Slavin, B.S., M.A. and Alvin Slavin, B.A., M.A.

Our preceding artfcle discussed the underlying principles govern-
ing the use of reading passages in civil service examinations. We
presented an analysis of paragraph structure and we suggested several
specific methods whereby you, the Civil Service candidate, can im-
prove the extent of your reading comprehension. We demonstrated
the necessary steps you must pursue to increase your speed in read-
ing. We showed you how you can ‘spot’ the main ideas contained
in reading selections, We taught you how to beware of ‘‘traps’’ that
confuse the thought. Finally, we listed seven guiding principles that
you should follow in answering questions on reading as offered
in Civil Service examinations,

If you have applied yourself to the methods we outlined, you will
find little difficulty in answering the five reading interpretation ques-
tions presented in Exercise IV. These questions were selected from a
General Qualifying Language Test administered recently by the U. S.
Civil Service Commission, You will, likewise, find additional review
exercises V and VI,

We suggest that you clip these articles from week to week so that
you may compile a continual study manual,

EXERCISE IV
READING INTERPRETATION QUESTIONS

1, "An ideal is practical when it conforms to laws of nature and
when-it is worked out from actual experience, The ideal of a more
desirable future must be more than simply a plan of a faultless state
of things; to be practical, it must make use of as much as possible
of the existing order.”

According to the quotation, our ideals cannot be practical when
we disregard (A) gradual changes (B) prophecies (C) experiments
(D) realities (E) simplicity

2, The operations of Congress are largely determined by the exist-
ence of two political parties—one, a majority in control of one or both
houses and regarding: itself as responsible for the principal legisla-
tive policies; the other, a minority bound under ordinary circum-
stances to criticise and to vote against the measures advanced by
the other group.”

The quotation indicates that (A) votes in Congress are always
cast along party lines (B) legislation ordinarily is accelerated by the
party system (C) the party system of Government is constitutionally
prescribed (D) legislative policies are formulated by compromis2 (E)
major acts are usually introduced into Congress by the paity in
power.

. “A phase of work in the Department of State that is of vital
importance is the creation at home of enlightened public opfhion on

To Women of America

Now that the first days of excitement are over, we are all sete
tling down to the main job before us—winning the war.

The women of America, though they may not have to man any
of our machine guns or pilot our planes—at least for the present—
are already anxious to do their bit, They are volunteering for the
Red Cross, the Women’s Voluntary Services, and other similar groups.
That is noble work,

However, we feel that they can do an even more direct part in
winning this war,

For months now there has been a shortage of women to take
stenographer and typist jobs in Washington, to work in the expand-
ing defense agencies. These departments have actually ben forced
to take on incompetent employees, and train them while on the job.

The present shortage will be as nothing compared to what is
before us. Government and defense agencies are already planning
for expansion geared to the victory program, This growth will not
only be in Washington but in federal offices all over the country.
And the basic and greatest expansion will be among the typists and
stenographers, unsung heroines who do the day-to-day routine work
without which government would collapse. Remember that for ca h
administrator taken on, t6 plan and direct government, at least half
a dozen stenographers, typists, and clerks must be hired.

Actually with the first shots fired at Pearl Harbor could we
hear the first stirrings of our nation’s need, Early last week the U ited
States Civil Service Commission issued a hurry call for 670
stenographers to work in Washington . . . and its district off es
were told that the need had to be filled within ten days. Yet in-
formal estimates already have it that government will soon be tak-
ing on between 500,000 and one million employees.

Here is a need which America’s valiant women—of every age—
can fill, Learn to typewrite. Learn how to take shorthand

The CIVIL SERVICE LEADER starts next week a home-
study course for typing. Each week we will present another lesson
in this course, and urge you to do the week's work faithfully.

It may sound silly—but substantial help in winning this war
may come from the army of stenographers and typists.

Join this army! !

Welfare Notes

Job, Pay Situation
In Welfare Dept.

‘The job and salary situation in
the Welfare Department moved
ahead on three fronts this week.

First, the hopes of 2,500 so-
cial investigators for an increase
in their salary maximum from
$1,799.00 to $2,099.99 dimmed
somewhat when Budget Director
Kenneth ton withdrew his
offer to push for the increase.
In a letter to two attorneys rep-
resenting investigators, he said
that “this offer was conditioned
upon the suspension or termina-
tion of the pending cases.” Since
both these attorneys have con-
tinued with their cases, he as
serted that the orde: was with-
dvawn,

That places the matter back in
the lap of Supreme Court Jus-

tice William F. Collins, before
whom the three cases were
argued several weeks ago, Day-

Veteran Jobs

The status of provisional vet-
evans, who seemed definitely on
the way out last week, was con-
tinued on a day-to-day basis by
Mayor LaGuardia while he tries
to get them employment el
where, Many of the 191 vet
slated to go last Monday have
since filled out applications and
were interviewed for positions at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the
Naval Air Station, and other gov-
ernmental agencies,

Guard jobs seem the most like-
ly prospect, with ‘the war emer-
gency increasing the need for men

to watch public buildings. ‘The

that the Welfare Department just
has too many emptoyees. There
will be no attempt on the part of

the city to drop those already
working, but future vacancies
won't be filled, And the first

vacancies to remain without occu-
pants will undoubtedly be those
to be created when the veterans
finally leave their jobs,

PREVAILING PAY
SETILENENT SEei
AS. IMMINENT

With the city about to go on a
real economy basis because of the
war, settlement of the claims of
its skilled employees for the dif-
ference between the rate paid by
private industry and their own
wages now appears imminent,

It is known that Mayor LaGar-
dia, anxious to get the matter
over with, is in conference with
officials of the Comptroller's Of-
fice, and that a decision may be
forthcoming this week, The city
has been offering a formula pre-
viously reported in The LEAD-
ER, embracing two planks

Henceforth city employees will
receive the same pay as that
given by priyate employers in
those industries where a single
wage exists (these are known as
Watson case industries, after the
Court of Appeals case that first
insisted that the city pay the pre
vailing wag

Employees will accept a percen-
tage reduction in their claims for
differences owed them,

The willingness of most groups
to accept this formula is attested
to by the fact that the bridge-
men’ and riveters, the bridge
painters, and the dock builders
are willing to take a 50 per cent
cut in their claims,

To All These, Greetings

O ALL the men and women who are performing

the tasks — sometimes humdrum, sometimes
exciting—of running the government .. .
To all who hope to work for the government...
To all who love liberty, and to those who are fight-
ing for it...
To all these, we express the hope that the spirit of
Christmas may permeate all men; that the spirit of
democracy may permeate the world.

Young Men!
Here’s a Career

S WE were going to press, less than 300 young
A men had filed in the New York City test for ap-
prentice in the automotive trades. This test of-
fers an unusual opportunity to young men for permanent
positions in the city service. It is an earn-while-you-
learn proposition, with the city paying the young men
during their apprenticeship. The test may be taken by
youngsters as young as 14,

If you feel you don’t meet the requirements (you'll
find them on page 16) here’s a tip: file for the test
anyway. Let the Civil Service Commission decide
whether or not you're to be admitted to the test. If they
don’t admit you, your filing fee will be returned. So
you have nothing to lose.

And a career to g

Disquieting Fact

7E WERE speaking to an official of the State
W Employment Service the other day. We learned
a disquieting fact.

There is an availability of labor for defense work in
New York City. There is a shortage of labor for de-
fense work upstate.

Upstate employers, who don’t have enough competent
people, won't hire New York City workers who are com-
petent to do the job. They're “suspicious” of New
Yorkers,

This is more than unfortunate. It's an obstruction to
the efficiency of our victory program.

Please, gentlemen, this is demcracy we're fighting
for,

A Training Plan

ND talking about defense jobs, here's a suggestion
Aeron training for defense jobs. You've been

reading a lot this past year about training. Yet
likely as not, if you've actually tried to get training for
defense, you've been shunted around, tripped up by red
tape, and possibly given the impression that the whole
training program isn't what it's cracked up to be.

There ought to be a single center devoted to train-
ing for war industries, coordinating the training activ-
ities of the Board of Education, Training-Within-Indus-
try, NYA, CCC, apprenticeship in private industry, the
private tuition schools, This center should be so set up
that a man or woman could go there, get a complete pic-
ture of all training available in the community. There
should be at least a minimum of vocational guidance—
that is, persons desiring training should be directed to
the best courses in terms of their own desires and the
nation’s needs. It should be easier for the untrained to
get training.

Such a plan is going to become more and more nec-
essary as our young men are drained away from private
industry into the army.

In New York City, a unit such as this could easily
be set up within the State Employment Service.

TREMENDOUS is the word for
Paul Lockwood. ‘Tremendous in
physique, in breadth of vision, in
zeal for his work.

You go in to get a story about
the life and achievements of Man-
hattan’s Executive Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney, and at once you are
so absorbed in what the man has
to say that you decide you ought
to write a kind of psychological
profile of him. He talks of many
things—of newspapers in the old,
glamorous days, of sports ‘when
they didn't have steam-hented
press-boxes,"” of mechanical engi+
neering, of ‘‘the poor suckers who
get involved in crime.” He tells
stories about Fritz Kuhn, about
curious relies of crime collected in
the past six years, about some of
the tricks of investigating, and
wonders aloud about why we have
crime at all, He doesn't look like
a lawyer; in proper dress, he could
pass for a Viking seaman, There
is something about his face which
reminds you vaguely of novelist
Ernest Hemingway; something in
his solid, earthly laugh which re-
minds you of Rabelais.

That's Paul Lockwood, as un-
usual an assistant district attorney
as ever graced New York's Centre
Street.

Enthusiasm

His enthusiasm for his work is
boundless. You feel it with an im-
pact that is almost physical. He
works furiously, and long hours,
“because I love it.” Since 1913 he
bas never missed a y away from
the office for illness. But he can
relax, too, and as he sits at his
finely-made lightwood desk, in deep
green upholstery, puffing serenely

at his pipe, it’s hard to realize that
this is a man who has come to
grips with the city’s toughest,
dirtiest gangsters.

Lockwood has a theory about the
luxury of the new District Attor-
ney’s office, occupying several
floors in the recently - finished
Criminal Courts Building. It’s
this: ‘There's a psychological
value to the dignity of an office
like ours. When the little people
used to come into our old, unkempt
offices, they frequently would get
the impression, ‘Huh, just another
cheap lawyer.’ Today, such an im-
pression is impossible. They feel
the man they are dealing with is
important—and the men with lesser
jobs have impressive offices for
this reason.”

A Place For Young Men

Tom Dewey's quarters are over-
run with young men, That's good,
thinks 39-year-old Lockwood. ‘This
isn't a quiet harbor into which a
lawyer battered and bewildered by
life comes for comfort and shel-
ter.” The young men in Dewey's
office set to do a job, “we have
done it, and we are doing it.” ‘The
pride which goes with this state-
ment has no pomposity in it. Paul
Lockwood isn't a pompous guy.
His pride arises from this attitud
“The work is more vital than go-
ing to the movies or reading de-
tective stories.""

‘The Lighter Side

There's a big notebook which
he has collected over the years...
the lighter side of his work. Some
of it is a little sad, lots of it is
bawdy or funny. All of it deals
with the “little people’ who have
passed before Lockwood—the little
people for whom, with their
troubles ‘and their perplexities, he
feels a deep compassion.

He reads some of the stories. A
mild one is about a man and
woman living together without
benefit of a license, ‘Is it a com-
mon law marriage?" asks Lock-
wood, ‘No, indeed,” they insist,
“it's a gentleman's agreement.”

Blacker is the color of a story
about Fritz Kuhn, Nazi Bund lead-
er now languishing in jail. One
day, while Fritz was being investi-
gated, he phoned Lockwood, roar-
ing into the phone that Lockwocd’s
assistants had robbed him of $1,700.
“The only way to handle a chap
who roars is to roar Jouder,”’ grins
Lockwood, and he roared at Kuhn
that if there was a complaint, the
Bundman could come to Leck-
woods office and state it in person,
Kuhn came, and told a story that
he had left $1,700 in small bills
under a smal] wooden desk tray,
then had gone to California. In

The Man Over 40

Sirs: Knowing how your paper
has given publicity to the big ques-
tion, ‘men of forty and over" try-
ing to get Federal jobs, I, at this
time-want to make a positive state-
ment that a man of forty years
and over has not a ghost of a
chance in securing employment in
the white collar class.

I talk from experience, having
been certified three times in the
storekeeper class, and I am still
out of a job. The reason is obvious
st 40." I believe there should
be an executive order from th
President to all employing officers
or officials in the Federal employ,
stressing the point that if a person
of 40 or over comes up for certifi-
ation, that person should be
ven the same consideration as is
shown to younger people. Only
merit and qualification should be
taken under consideration, not age,

I am 40 years of age, a veteran
and my rating is 94.75 on the
storekeeper list. I have been given
a runaround three times since
August 15, 1941, I am available at

once, but still can't connect

with a job. We are supposed to

haye a merit system—where?
OURAGED.

Age limits on many Federal jobs
haye been raised in the past year.
We cannot pass on this individual
case, but we agree that it is repre-
hensible to deny a Federal position
to a person who meets the quallfi-
cations purely on the ground of

Manpower Shortage

Sir: Having read your piece
“Manpower Shortage’ in the De-
cember 2nd issue of The LEADER,
I got quite a surprise if not a laugh
at the way the State Civil Service
Department contradicts itself. It
read that the State Public Works
Department is crying for Drafts-
men, and also says that several new
lists have to be established, such as
Junior Draftsman and Junior En-
gineering Aide,

Iam on the present list for Junior
Draftsman, established in January,
1939. Qualifications for the test
required us to be qualified Junior
Draftsmen with some years of
architectural schooling and some
years of actual drafting experience.
Getting by those requirements, we
had to pass a drafting test which
really qualified us to be first-class
draftsmen for a Junior Dvrafts-
man’s position, Then what hap-
pens? They make a few appoint-
ments and let the list die.

I can’t see very much sense in
taking a new test for Junior
Draftsman as I'm sure that every
eligible on the old list will certainly
make the new list. Being three
years since the last test gives us
three more years’ experience. You
can be sure that I as well as every
other eligible on the list will be
just as good a draftsman if he is
taken off the present list as we
would be if we were called from
the new list. It all adds up to a
waste of valuable time and money,

Question, Please

by H. Eliot Kaplan

Leave of Absence

M.F.: You may apply for a
jeave of absence from the Wel-
fare Department of New York
City by writing to William C.
Hodson, Commissioner, Depart-
partment of Welfare, 902 Broad-
way, New York City. Leaves of
absence are discretionary with de-
partment heads.

Pay Difference

N.LC. ‘You will not be entitled
to the difference in military pay
and your city salary if you are
again called into military service
because of your status as a mem-
ber of the enlisted reserves. Only
employees who are members of
State Guard and reserve units be-
fore these units were federalized
receive the difference in pay.

How Long Is
Navy Yard Job?

B.B.B.: There is no way of
telling how long the position in
the Brooklyn Navy Yard for
which you have received a perma-
nent appointment will last. A

permanent’? appointment to @
civil service position does not
mean that the position is a life-
time job. Undoubtedly, there will
be a cut in Navy appropriations

when the war is over. However,
it is impossible to estimate
whether your position will be

among those which will be ex-
cuded from future budget appro-
priations,

Standing on U. S. List

J.K.: There is no way of esti-

Fantastic Episode
Recalled by
Lt. Seufert’s Death

The death last week of Lieut.

Jack Seufert, retired from Eng.
11, recalls the most fantastic, al-
beit true, episode ever to be re-
corded in the arcnives of the
N.Y. F.D,
“The scene—a 3rd alarm fire on
Roosevelt Street, Manhattan; The
building—an old structure housing
a rag shop; The time—10:30 p.m.,
the night of January 6, 1907; Of
ficers in charge—Chief Binns for
fire-fighting and Dr. Archer for
first-aid,

Suddenly at 11:15 p.m. the
building collapses burying three
firemen, including Lt. Siefert,
(then a fireman). While rescue
work continued at a frantic pace,
the families of the buried men
are notified,

When a fireman arrived at the
Seufert home, his wife said, ‘I
know why you came. My hus-
band is buried somewhere, At
11:15 tonight while sitting here
with my family, I felt my hus-
band’s hand on my shoulder and
he said: ‘Maime, I am buried uw
der a building, but I am aliy
I let up a shriek and scared my
family. They assured me it was
only imagination.” ‘The family
testified to Mrs. Seufert’s state-
ment.

Reach the Body
Four hours later the body of the
first fireman was reached by the
rescurers and the next morning
the other one was recovered.
An undertaker at the scene told
Mrs. Seufert that he had secured
the burial of the other two men
and that if she would consent to
him handling the’ funeral of her
husband, he would give a discount
to all three. To which Mrs. Seu
ied: “My busband is not

The morning of the second day,
38 hours later, Chief Binns and
Dr. Archer were still directing
the digging for Seufert’s body
when tapping was heard on a gas
pipe coming from under the
collapsed building. Dr. Archer
listened attentively as tap, tap,
tap; pause, then tap, tap, came
over and over again. “Engine
82," shouted Archer, “it must be
Seufert.”" An elbow over the top
of the pipe was eut and Doc
Archer called down. “Yes, I'm
alive, but get me the h — out
of here, I’m hungry,” Seufert
called up from under tons of
debris.

The good Doc poured malted
milk (hie) down the pipe and or-
dered renewed speed in rescue
work. Thirty-eight hours after
the explosion, Seufert was
reached and carried to safety.
none the worse for his harrowing
experience,

Had there been no elbow on the
top of the gas pipe, Seufert would
have been drowned, because, he
was in such a small spot, that
he couldn't even remove his hel-
met. He could not even bend
down a few inches in order to
drink the malted milk poured
down by Doc Archer,

As for Mrs, Seufert's dream of
her husband's predicament, well,
you may call it anything you
want; premonition, mental tele-
phathy or clairvoyancy, or what
have you. But it was true.

Progress of the Lists

Here’s the latest on the prog-

lists:

The new list was recently ex-
hausted for men in all zone four
institutions with the exception
of Manhattan State Hospital on
Ward's Island, That takes in
hospitals both within the five
boroughs and outside.

As for women, the old list has
been exhausted for institutions
outside the city. Inside, latest
certification is 12,114, latest ap-
pointment is 11,052, The new list
has been certified down to 3,101
for women outside the five bo!
oughs, while appointments have
reached to 2,956. The new list
hasn't been touched for women
inside the city.

All zone 1 eligibles on the new
list have been canvassed. A
total of 436 permanent appoint-
ments have been made from the
old list, 79 from the new list. In
