their necessitous circumstances,
who have the required ability, are
unemployed, and who have de-
pendents, Postmasters should
work with relief, agencies and
war veterans organizations in se~
lecting temporary help, always
stressing the necessity of exclud-
ing the incapacitated for the ar.
duous work incidental to the
handling of Christmas mail. Per-
sons who were employed in pre-
vious years and have demon-
strated their ability should be
considered for employment this
year.”

This, however, doesn’t limit the
postmaster's choices, because an-
other paragraph in the instruc-
tions to him say this:

How it Works in Practice
“Postmasters are instructed to
conform to this program only in
so far as it is possible for them
to secure persons who are physi-
cally and mentally able to stand

the severe strain of temporary
Christmas work.'’
In actual practice, each post-

master fills these temporary jobs
as he sees fit. He has jurisdic-
tion, and he may take on whom-
ever he pleases and in whatever
manner he desires. ‘There are
few restrictions upon him, except,
, that he may hire only

ons, In actual practice, too,
it is common for those desiring
positions to ob-

tain the aid of their organizations
and of political friends, But in
any case, regular application

forms must be filled out at the
local post office.

Among the positions to be filled
are these Temporary substitute
clerks, temporary substitute car-
, and temporary substitute la-

Working Hours

Working hours are 12 hours a
day tops for classified subs; 10
hours a day tops for temporary
subs on clerical or carrier duties,
except where emergencies require
a longer period of service.

Records of U.S.

Investigator

Eligibles Go to New York

‘The General Investigator Eligi-
bles Association reports a de-
velopment of great significance
to local eligibles on the general
investigator lines, The District
Manager of the Second United
States Civil Service District is
sending out to all such eligibles
within his District on the regis-
ters for customs, customs patrol
and immigration inspector a
highly important notice and an
application form to be filled out
and returned.

The notice indicates that records
of all eligibles in the Second Dis-
trict have been transferred to the
New York Office from Washing-
ton and that this decentralization
wil lresult in ‘more effective and
extensive use of the registers’’ be-
cause it makes a much greater
number of field positions avail-
able.

List to Be Widely Used

Moreover, In addition to the po-
sitions for which the eligibles
qualified, the District Manager is
putting into effect the U. S. Civil
Service Commission's _ original
promise to use these registers for
clerical and office positions at ap-
propriate salary levels. Moreover,
positions as junior investigator in
the Alcohol Tax Unit (Internal
Revenue) will be filled from the
general investigator lists, ‘The
clerical positions pay from $1,260
to $2,000, appointments may be
made anywhere in New York and
New Jersey, and naturally those
in the lower salary brackets are
much more numerous, ‘The junior
investigator positions in Alcohol
Tax Units pay $2,000, but for va-
cancies in New York and New
Jersey those appointed must re-
side in the State where the va-
cancy exists.

WASHINGTON—Latest on the
pay-raise-for- Federal - employees
front:

1, The possibility has been dis-
cussed by Federal officials in
policy-making positions of pre-
senting members of Congress a
plan that would pay Federal
workers a bonus in defense bonds,
Remember that Treasury Secre-
tary Morgenthau has called on
private industry to pay their em-
ployees Xmas bonuses in defense
bonds. And what’s that old say-
ing about what’s sauce for the

FOREIGN AFFAIRS
ENLARGES U. S.
STATE DEPARTMENT

WASHINGTON — Latest on the
vartment is no longer the smallest
ot the 10 Federal departments. It
veposed on the bottom far years.
Yow State is a notch higher and
Labor Department is the tails
ender,

The reason: national defense,

State now has 6,388 employes
and others are being hired daily.
It has added 2000 new employes
in the past year and nearly 2500
since the defense crisis, Naturally

enough, State was the first de
partment to feel the emergency.
Its offices began a 2thour
schedule when Hitler's legions

broke the peace of Hurope by in«
vading Czechoslovakia, They ha
remained on that schedule since.
It has been almost impossible
for the State Department to fore
ee its needs, Last spring an ap-
propriation was approved for the
fiscal year that begins July 1,
1941, which carried funds for an
increase of several hundred em-
ployes, By August 1 these new
employes had been hired and the
york on hand continued mount-
ing. ‘Technically, the department
violated a law by hiring 590 ad-
ditional personnel without con-
vessional authority. Just a few
ago Congress gave this au-
thority by approving fund for the
salaries of these employes,
Most of the new State em.
es are stenos, typists, mes-
sengers, translators, communica-
tion experts, and foreign affairs
experts. Civil Service covers most
all State jobs,

Ramspeck Act Won’t
Cover P. O.
Hourly Workers

Comptroller General Warren has
ruled the Ramspeck-Mead Act
doesn't cover clerical-mechanical
employees in the Post Office De-
partment whose salary is paid on
an hourly basis,

Sec, 12 (a) No officer or em-
ployee of any State or focal
agency whose principal em-
ployment in connection with
any activity which is financed
in whole or in part by loans or
grants made by the United
States or by any federal agency
Shall (1) use his official au-
thority or influence for the
Purpose of interfering with an
election or a nomination for of-
fice, or affecting ‘the result
thereof, or (2) directly or in-
directly coerce, attempt to co-
erce, command, or advise any
other such officer or employee
to pay, lend, or contribute any
part of his salary or compensa-
tion or anything else of value
to any party, committee, organ-
ization, agency or person for
Political purposes. No such

goose is sauce

Of course, any such plan would
have to be voted by Congress and
it’s generally conceded that Con-
gress is in no frame of mind to
pay its employees a bonus now
in defense bonds or cold cash.
However, sentiment for a pay
raise is rising and it will continue
to rise along with the High Cost
of Living.

Promotions

2, Administrative promotions
under the Ramspeck-Mead Act,
the uniform promotion plan, will
be made retroactive to October 1,

No,

whether Congress likes it or not,
That's the ruling by Comptroller
General Lindsey Warren, the man
appointed to the job Congress cre-
ted to interpret its laws. The
comptroller’s decisions hold good
in any court,

In effect, Warren said that Con-
gress had no right to tell depart-
ments and agencies not to incur
a deficiency by making promo-
tions effective with October 1, the
day the act was to go into force,
but he did indicate that it would
be good policy to wait untit Con-
gree had approved funds for the
promotions.

The comptroller's decision was
requested by Archibald MacLeish,

librarianof the Library of Con-
gress, after Congress had refused
to provide the funds for payment
of the promotions and after it had
forbidden agencies to use money
on hand for the promotions.

When the money does become
available, which won't be before
another month or six weeks, the
employees will be paid a supple-
mental check covering the promo-
tions from October 1.

Several Plans

‘The bonus-in-defense-bonds plan
is the latest of a number of proj-
ects for increasing the pay of fed-
eral employees. Foughly, these
projects, some of which have al-

20 Jr. Assistant Ex ams On Way

Professional Lists Being Used Up With Great Speed

A new junior professional as-
sistant test will be announced
in January. It was hinted here
several weeks ago that the popu-
lar exam would be repeated
around the first of the year in an
effort to attract mid-year college
graduates.

The January exam, it was
earned, will be comprised of
roughly 20 options.

College graduates out of jobs

will be urged to take the tests.
The commission is making a
special effort to contact students
who will graduate in February
and interest them in the test.
Speakers will be sent to colleges
and universities to tell the stu-
dents directly about the tests.
Moreover, school officials—college
deans and professors — will be
urged to inform their students of
the exam.

Junior professional registers are
fast being depleted. In many in-
stances the Civil Service Commis-

officer or employee shall take
any active part in political
management or in political
campaigns, All such persons
Shall retain the right to vote
as they may choose and to ex-
press their opinions on all po-

take of distributing campaign lit-

ployees to contribute funds to a

Service Commission: Patterson
had called 10 employees into his
office “during office hours . , .
for the express purpose of discus-

sing contributions to the Repub-
lican campaign fund, and asking

them to convey to other em-
ployees the information that it
was lawful to make dona-

So important was the matter
considered that all three Civil
Service Commissioners — Mitchell,
McMillin, Fleming—sat as a body
of judges, The trial was conduct-
ed under the rules of evidence.
And today Mr, Patterson is out
of his job. The Commission
found that his activities ‘‘amount-
ed to coercion.” Charges against

sion could very well use more elig-
ibles. If you are on an eligible
register and haven't been offered
a job—please be patient—your
number will be coming up soon.
The register on the writing and
editing assistant was set up only
a month ago but already all the
eligibles who make grades of 87 or
above have either been placed,
disqualified, or have refused ap-
pointments.

Options that most likely will be
announced in the January test
are: engineer, chemist, economist,

What They Can't Do

In Washington, in New York,
wherever federal employees are at
work, this decision will cause deep
rumblings, For it confirms that
federal employees are no longer
free, as they were until July 19,
1940, to act as political individ-
uals,

‘These are the acts which an em-
ployee of the Federal Government
may not indulge:

He may not serve in political
conventions ag delegates.

He may not act as an officer
of a political meeting, convention,
caucus, nor make addresses, nor
assist in preparing resolutions,
However, he may attend and cast
his yote if he goes no farther.

He may not serve on a political
committee.

He may join a political club, but
he is forbidden to be active.

He may not solicit, collect, re

—
ceive, or even handle funds for
Political purposes.

He retaing the right to express
his opinions on political subjects
or candidates, but not in such a
way as to “constitute taking an

active part in political cam-
paigns,"

He may not coerce or intimidate
anyone in a federal election—and
if he does, it becomes a criminal
offense. Nor may he promise em+

ployment to anyone
for a and
criminal offense.

He may not solicit votes,

He may not be with a news-
paper having a partisan political
complexion, nor even write a
letter for publication, favoring or
opposing a candidate or party,

He may not participate in a po-
litical parade,

He may sign petitions, but not
ask to sign them.

He may not distribute campaign
literature, buttons, or badges,

CIVIL SERVICE

IN NEW YORK CLTY

andidates Polled On Civil Service

Leader Questionnaire Reveals Trend Toward Higher Salaries, Wage Minimum, Freedom of Organization

O'Dwyer Fayors Civil Service Salaries
Adjusted to Living Costs; States

Views on Variety of Employee Problems

William O’Dwyer's response to The LEADER'S questionnaire
follows, in full:

“The questionnaire of the Civil Service LEADER brings up a
number of points of vital interest and concern to the Civil Service
employees of this city and I shall answer it as fully as possible.

“The whole question of salary schedules of Civil Service em-
ployees should be treated as an entity and not in piecemeal fashion.
It requires, and as Mayor I shall have a comprehensive study made
of the entire question by a competent, impartial body, guided by the
principle that Civil Service salaries must be directly related to the
actual cost of living. There are many inequities presently existing;
they must be ended, then a minimum salary can and should be
determined.

“I believe that city employees should receive the prevailing
rate of wage which obtains in private industry for comparable work
and service. They should be paid on a per annum basis, except for
that limited group of workers who are specifically hired to perform
day to day services for short periods of time. Before attempting to
solve th® problem of a particular group, the first requirement, as I
have said above, is a complete survey.

“Obviously, Civil Service employees ought to be free to join
organizations of their own choice, unhampered and uninfluenced by
any department official, As to their political activities I make this
distinction—they ought to have the same right as any other citizen;
but they should never be subject to political control for the benefit
of any political officeholder or political party.

“There is no difficuty in finding competent men and women
who are residents of the city to fill every post in the city's service,
and I believe that the city owes a duty to its citizens to choose its
employees from city residents,

“You ask if I know of any cases of inefficiency or low morale
in city departments. Of course I do; the extent of it amounts to
an open scandal in many instances. I intend first, to point them out,
and as Mayor, to weed them out. How, you ask? First, by appoint-
ment of competent and experienced commissioners and officials pos-
sessing force of character and capacity for decision, The present
fault lies at the top; that is the place to attack the problem.

“I know that many, perhaps most Civil Service employees per-
sonally favor a uniform city-wide system of disciplinary procedure,
and they have been led to the belief by abuses in several depart-
ments. I am not at all sure that that is the proper remedy. Dif-
ferent services, different departments may require different stand-
ards of procedure, A unifom city-wide system would inevitably lead
to a one-man control, which I oppose. But I do believe that there
should be a reviewing board to which a disciplined employee could
take his appeal.”

L—————“Welt Built Is Well Built”

New Yorkers are going to the
polls, to elect the men in whose
hands will rest the affairs of the
city, in some cases for two years,
in some cases for four,

It is a fighting contest, and
large numbers are arrayed
against one another in the battie.

For civil servants, such an elec-
tion is of enormous significance.
For in the hands of the candi-
dates, in large measure, lies the
future of government employees.
To learn what these candidates
think about important civil ser-
vice issues, The LEADER sent
each of them a questionnaire. The
eight queries were simple and di-
rect, avoiding the smaller issues.
We asked the candidates:

‘The Questionnaire

1, Do you feel that the salaries
of New York City civil service em-
ployees should remain at their
present levels, or rise in line with
the increased cost of living? If
you favor an increase how would
you put it into effect? What, in
your opinion, should be the mini-
mum salary paid to New York
City employees?

2, Should city employees be paid
the prevailing rate of pay in pri-
vate industry?

3. Do you believe that all city
employees should be paid on a per
annum basis? Or, would you make
certain exceptions, and pay those
exceptions on a per diem basis?
(City doctors and dentists, for ex-
ample, are paid on a per diem
basis).

4, Should civil service employ-
ees be free to join organizations
of their own choosing? Do you
feel that departmental officials
should exercise any influence
whatsoever in the conduct of em-
ployee organizations?

5. Should the political activities
of New York City civil service
employees be in any way ‘cur-
tailed? Or should they have the
same right of political activity
that all other citizens have?

6. Should a residence require-
ment. be placed upon all city em-

. Ployees?

7. Do you know of any cases of
inefficiency or low morale in any
city department? If your answer
is in the affirmative, what do you
intend to do about it?

8. Today, each city department
determines its own disciplinary
procedure, Do you prefer this sys-
tem, or would you rather see a
uniform city-wide system of dis-
ciplinary procedure? Please state
the reasons for your opinion, Do
you believe there should be a
Board of Appeals to which a dis-
ciplined employee could bring his
grievance for ultimate disposal?

Favor Wage Ratse

Most of the candidates have an-
swered, The replies, tabulated for
a quick view of each man’s views
on the problems, appear on page
14, An analysis of the replies re-
veals certain significant trends,
and surely casts a light upon what
civil servants may anticipate from
their legislators in the coming
year. First, there 1s surprising
unanimity among the candidates
upon the question of civil service
salaries; and the unanimity cuts
across party lines completely, The
candidates recognize the funda-
mental fact that as the cost of
living goes up, so must the salar-

jes of civil servants. There is
little hedging upon the necessity
of salary raises, though the can-
didates are not yet certain in
what precise manner the increase
will be brought about. Upon the
questions of salary minimums,
there is a strong division of opin-
ion, While most of those who an-
swered the questionnaire favor
such a minimum, a smaller num-
ber name a definite amount,
Among those who state a figure,
the sum most frequently men-
tioned as a minimum {s $1,200,
This does not mean that hospital
workers and others in New York
City who earn less than $1,200 will
be brought up to that level as
soon as the election is over. It
does mean, however, that among
those elected will be many who
recognize the validity of a proper
minimum wage in civil service,
and who will be inclined to help
put such a minimum into effect.

Per Annum Pay

Should city employees be paid
on a per annum basis? The ques-
tion has sorely aroused tempers
and created strong antagonisms in
recent years. And here, too,
among the candidates there seems
to be something less than cer-
tainty. The over-all maximum of
opinion favors a per annum wage
except in cases where the work
done is on a temporary basis.
Should civil service employees be
free to join organizations of their
own choosing? Here, too, with-
out regard to party lines, a strong
liberal trend is clear in the re-
plies. Almost all candidates favor
freedom of choice for employ-
ees in joining organizations
and freedom from interfer-
ence by officials. The same feel-
ing carries through with regard |
to the question of political activi-
ties on the part of civil servants.
Regardless of the fact that the
federal government has drastic-
ally curtailed the political privi-
leges of governmental employees,
New York City candidates strong-
ly feel that the right of private
Citizens inhere in civil servants,
too—and they should not be pre-
vented from exercising any po-
litical right, Where there are res-
ervations, it is on the other side:
to the effect that city employees
should be free from coercion by
political bosses.

Present Residence Law Stays

The problem of residence has
chafed many, and the Lyons law
holds that to work for the city one
must not only live in the city, but
must have lived here three years
prior to appointment
will stand,
firmly stated, but few in number.

Trouble in Sanitation

One question invoked an inter-
esting response: number 7, It in-
quired of each candidate whether
he knows of any cases of inef-
ficiency or low morale in any city
department. Many of those who
answer say frankly No. But an
unusual number have pointed fin-
gefs at one department—Sanita-
tion—and referred to the Four
Horsemen who have long been
under scrutiny, It may be pre-
dicted, as a result of this ques-
tionnaire, that the Sanitation De-
partment and its personnel are in
for further reckoning to New
York's public.

Nurses Ask Full Civil Service
Status in New Title Change

The path to elimmating the
title of trained nurse from the
city service, and establishing two
grades each for registered and
practical nurse, was cleared last
week when the Municipal Civil
Service Commission approved a
resolution so amending the non-
competitive class. Approval by
the Mayor and the State Civil
Service Commission must be
gained before the change be-
comes effective.

Under the terms of the amend-
ment, the titles of registered
nurse will pay $900-$1,680 plus
maintenance, and $1,260-2,040 plus

maintenance, while practical
nurse is to pay $540-$1,200 plus
maintenance, and $780-$1,440 plus
maintenance,

‘At hearings on the amendments
before the City Commission, rep-
resentatives of the nurses have
pleaded for competitive status.
Officials of the Commission have
explained that two obstacles re-
main in the way, even though
they favor competitive status;

1, The shortage of nurses
brought on by the defense effort
severely limits the number of ap-
plicants.

2. Competitive status is opposed
by the Hospitals Department and
the medical profession,

Promotion Tests Don’t Attract Subway Men;
Wide Open Exams May Come for 500 Jobs

BULLETIN

At a late hour yesterday The
LEADER learned that the 500
subway jobs mentioned in the
story below will probably be
opened to the public in December,
‘The Commission plans to readver-
tise for the promotion tests dur-
ing a short period in November,
but frankly has little hope that
there will be extensive filing. At
the end of this new filing period
the Commission will further con-
sider the matter, and open com-
petitive tests seem the only solu-
tion,

Unfamiliarity with Civil Ser
vice procedures as well as the
fact that promoted subway em-
ployees frequently have to shift

from day to night work were
listed by officials of the Munici-
pal Civil Service Commission
yesterday as chief reasons for
the disappointing number of can-
didates for the October series of
subway promotion exams.

Although definite figures on the
number of applicants were not
known as The LEADER went to
press on Monday-the filing dead-
line—it is certain that only a frac-
tion of the 8,500 men eligible will
take the nine promotion tests—for
motorman, railroad clerk, and
towerman on the BMT, IRT, and
IND divisions.

Commission officials explained
that similar difficulties were en-
countered when the first group of
promotion exams were given some
years ago for employees of the In-
dependent line. Under subway pro-
cedure, the preferred day shifts
go to employees enjoying senior-
ity. When an employee is pro
moted, he usually is placed on a

City Engineers Willing
To Accept New Titles

Re fication of the city’s
engineering service, which sets
up 50 titles where 1,000 now
st, moved one step closer to
lity last week when the Mu-
pal Civil Service Commission
approved an amendment making
the reclassification mandatory. It
expected that Mayor 1
Guardia and the State Civil Ser-
vice Commission will speedily ap-
prove the new set-up, ax all op-
position has been won over.

When the reclassification reso-
lution was originally approved
more than a year ago, hundreds
of the city’s 7,500 employees in
the engineering service asked that
it be made optional, ‘They wished
to be able to choose whether they
would assume a new title or con-
tinue work under the old title,

Commission officials agreed, but
predicted that all would seek the
new titles before long. Their

prophesy came true two weeks
ago when delegates from all engi-
neering employee groups appeared
before the Commission to register
approyal of an amendment mak-
ing the new titles mandatory,

Minor Matters

The Commission, at last week's
meeting, also ruled on tvo minor
matters in conjunction with the
engineering reclassification:

1, The title of senior engineer
was removed from the engine!
ing and architectural service. The
Civil Service Technical Guild op-
posed including the senior engi-
eer within the service on the
ground that it further disturbed
the set-up of new titles and added
to confusion,

2. The request of Board of Edu-
cation employees that they be in-
cluded in the titles engineer and
architect was denied on the
ground that they belong as assis-
tant engineer and assistant ar
tect.

SUPERMEN DO
ALL RIGHT,
SAYS QUEENS

The supermen are doing a good
fob in Queens.

The supermen, in case you
didn't know, are the lads who sur-
vived the tough sanitation man
examination a year and a halt
ago. Of 80,000 who filed applica-
tions, only 8,826 passed, The test
was purely a physical examina-
tion, It consisted of lifting 80-
pound dumbbells in each hand,
slinging a 120-pound ashcan over
your head, running, jumping,
climbing ladders, scaling walls in
a limited amount of space and an
even more limited period of time.
The boys who passed this test
were considered to be such per-
fect physical specimens by such
expert authorities on the subject
as Professor Francis Patrick
‘Wall, head of the physi¢al educa-
tion bureau of N. Y. U, and Paul
Brennan, chief medical and physi-
cal examiner of the Civil Service
Commission, that they quickly
earned the sobriquet ‘‘supermen,”

Appointments

When the sanitation list came
out, only a few hundred of the
boys were appointed to the
Sanitation Department during the
first half year of ‘its existence.
Under the process of selective
certification, the Civil Service
Commission certified them to
other departments to fill ap-
propriate jobs as laborer, cleaner,
porter, etc, One of the first de-
partments to make use of the
Supermen was the Highway
Bureau of the Borough President's
office. The Highway Bureau used
the top of the list, tne very cream
of the crop, To date 75 eligibles

on the Sanitation Man list have
been appointed to the Highway
Bureau in Queens as laborer:
And how do the supermen shape
up in Queens?

Busy, laconic, Cyril BE. Fyles,
superintendent of Highways
paused in his work to say, “The
services of the men from the
Sanitation list are yery satisfac-

tory. ‘The boys are doing a good
job.”

Just Don't Know How

The Transport Workers’ Union
was impressed into service last
week by the Commission in an at-
tempt to break down the apathy
of the employees, It was felt that
the subway employees, recently
taken under Civil Service follow-
ing unification of the city’s transit
lines, just don’t know how to go
about filing for promotion tests.

Subway workers queried by
Leader reporters with the ques-
tion: “Why don't you file for the
promotion test for which you are
eligible?”” gave a variety of inter-
esting replies.

Among them were these:
‘Not interested in night work,"
‘You take the test, then you’
not sure you'll get more money

“I'll wait and see what hap-

ens.’?

“I like the job I've got now bet-
ter."”

What promotion test?
“The boys who know the ropes
tell me it's a tough test, So why
should I pay out my good money

for an application when I’m gon-
na flunk anyway?”

Actually, whe LEADER is able
to say on the authority of Com-
mission officials that there will be
no attempt to make an unusually
difficult test. One of the primary
purposes of the tests, they say, is
to bring order out of the chaotic
condition on titles as they now ex-
ist in the subway systems.

Probable result of the puny fil-
ing will be open competitive ex-
ams for motorman, railroad clerk,
and towerman, More than 500 va-
cancies exist in these titles for
the three lines, The Civil Service

Commission is aware that the sit-
uaton is a ticklish one,
Although talk of open tests in
the future has not yet come out
into the open, we can get some
idea of details from the announce-
ments for the promotion tests,
Motormen earn 83 cents to $1.06
an hour, railroad clerks get 5¥
cents to 65 cents an hour, and
towermen are paid 80 cents to 88
cents an hour. One year's experi+

passed the bill providing for the

11-squad system. The bill still
has two hurdles—the Mayor's
signature and the OK of the

Board of Estimate, But ultimate.
ly the bill must pass.

Passage will be compelled by the
terrific force of a simple truth
voiced by the 18,000 members of
the greatest police department in
the world. ‘That truth, expounded
as well by doctors, public health
officers, sociologists, personnel ad-
ministrators and efficiency ex-
perts is this: An employee must
have a full day of rest from his
Inbors every week,

Under the present 10-squad sys-
tem the patrolman does not have
this day of rest, At present, after
terminating six 8-hour tours of
duty, he “swings? for 32 hours,
Since the ‘swing’? between any
two tours in a series of six tours
is 16 hours, a 32-hour “swing” ac-
tually represents a “‘day" off of
only 16 hours, In practice, for ex-
ample, a patrolman who finishes
his last 12 p.m,-8 a.m, tour at 8
a.m, on Saturday returns to work
Sunday at 4 p.m, This shifting
from one tour to another is eu-
phemistically referred to as a day
off, It is not that, It is a shift
from one tour to another accom-
panied by a grinding of the
nerves and stomach, caused by a
too rapid change in sleeping and
eating schedules and by the lack
of a sufficient period of rest be-
tween this shifting of tours.

‘The New System

The 11-squad system will abolish
all this, Under that system the
patrolman will enjoy a 48-hour
“swing” in place of the present
32, In the case already men-
tioned, that of the patrolman who
completes his last 12 p.m.-8 a.m.
tour on Saturday at 8 a.m., this
patrolman's next tour would be
Monday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m,
Here, for the first time, will the
| patrolman have a full day off.
Not only that, but in every 21
weeks he will have three Sundays
off—to spend with his family and
friends—a great Juxury which is
taken for granted by the average
person, but which the patrolman
considers a rare occasion,

How will this change from the
10 squad to the 11-squad system
actually affect the total number
of hours that a patrolman will
devote to his job?

tem a patrolman theoretically

The patrolmen’s 11-Squad Bill
passed the City Council last
Wednesday by the overwhelming
vote of 16 to 3, This successful
ending to the first round in the
fight of the Patrolmen's Bene-
volent Association, led by Presi-
dent Pat Harnedy, and of the
Civil Service LEADER, to obtain
for patrolmen a full day off each
week gave hope to the advocates
of the Bill,

‘The Bill, sponsored by Council-
men Louis Cohen and Joseph EB.
Kinsley, grants patrolmen (48
hours off after 6 tours of duty.
It now goes to the Fusion-domi+
nated Board of Hstimate, where

the sentiments of the Mayor
towards the Bill are likely to
prev: These sentiments are

1, IF the Board of Estimate

fails to pass the Bill, that will be
the end of it for the present,

2, IF the Board passes the bill
it will then go to the Mayor who
must hold a public hearing and
act upon it within 30 di

3, IF the Mayor then signs the
bill, or fails to yeto it within 30
days, it becomes law.

4, IF the Mayor vetoes the bill,
the Council may pass it over his

What Happened

The high-light of the heated

Mrs. Earle yoted against the Bill,

Why the 11-Squad System?

‘Men On the Job’ Explain in Their Own

Words What’s What

works 50 4/10 hours a week, It

- is not a 48-hour week, as it may

appear, because after performing
six successive 8-hour tours fol-
lowed by a 32-hour “swing” a pa-
trolman returns to perform an-
other 8hour tour; and this tour
is within the same week as the
six tours already performed, But
even this figure of 50 4/10 hours
is computed, however, on the as-
sumption that the patrolman’s
working day is only eight hours—
that he walks into the station-
house, for example, at 8 a.m,, and
walks out at 4 p.m. Actually,
however, he must be in the
station-house at least a half-hour
before his tour begins in order to
obtain the Teletype Alarms and
the orders of the day. Actually,
at the end of his tour, he must
wait on his post until he is re-
lieved by one of the patrolmen
who does not turn out of the
station-house before the hour is
struck, When the patrolman is
then relieved he must return to
the station-house to make out the
necessary reports, He cannot,
therefore, possibly be through be-
fore a half-hour after his tour has
theoretically ended,

It is plain, then, that a patrol
man's &hour day is actually at
Teast a 9-hour day, His theoreti«
cal 50 4/10-hour week is actually
at least @ 56 7/10-hour week.

Under the 11-squad system the
patrolman's work week, theoreti-
cally, will be 45 9/11 hours, Ac-
tuaily, it will be 51 6/11 hours,

A Few Other Things

This, then, is the case for the
Ji-squad system, Let us forget
the inconveniences, discomforts
and dangers of the job. Let us
forget the loss of a normal family
and social life that is the patrol-
man’s lot, Let us forget the time
he loses in court regularly
throughout the year; the extra
time he puts in at regular events
such as Registration and Elec-
tion; the extra time for special
duty on strikes, war emergency,
etc, Let us forget all these sacrt-
fices—they are an inseparable
part of the patrolman's job.

But forgetting all this thereets
still one simple fact that illumi-
nates the argument like a million-
watt lamp, a simple fact that
amplifies itself a million-fold to
drown out the voices of the cap-
tious critics and professional com+
plainers of the Merchants Associa
tion and Citizens Budget Commis-
sion:

The 11-squad system will reduce

T1-Squad Bill Passes; But
It’s in High Jeopardy

as did Councilmen Straus and
Baum.

The Commissioner estimated
that 1200 additional patrolmen
would be needed to maintain the
Police Department at its present
strength if the Bill were passed.
Making no mention of the fact
that there are approximately 700
vacancies in the Department at

the present time for which
budgetary appropriations exist,
the Commissioner added:

“Whe I am in favor of any

legislation that would improve the
working conditions and efficiency
of the police force, and which
would contribute to the mainte-
nance of the fine morale of the
force, in the absence of any as-
surance that I will be able to ob-
tain a substantial number of ad-
ditional patrolmen, and in view
of the questionable status of our
young men under the selective
service training act and national
and international conditions, T am.
compelled to oppose the enact-
ment of this measure at this
time."

Draft Problem Unimportant
Councilman Vogel replied to the
Comnzissioner’s letter in the de-
bate that followed, He argued
that less than 40 of the 1427 men
on the patrolmen’s eligible list
promulgated in 1939 were likely to
be called for selective service. He
pointed out that there are be-
tween 3000 and 4000 patrolmen
who are eligible for retirement
and who would be less likely- to
retire if the 11-squad bill were
passed, and that the savings in
pensions would more than off-set
the salaries for the additional
patrolmen,

TrafficFines—They
Make It Painless

Biggest headache to Queens
residents is the lack of proper
parking and garage facilities in
the borough, Annually, over
200,000 automobile owners visit
the modern, streamlined traffic
court in the basement of Borough
Hall, Courteously, efficiently,
quickly, fifteen traffic court em-
ployees receive their none-too-
happy visitors, collect fines, and
speed them on their way.

It you plead guilty, you won't
have to sit around a half hour
waiting for your name to be
called out, There is no unneces-
sary delay in this court, You get
on a rapidly moving line, proceed
quickly to the window, give your
name, pay your fine and go. It
ig just as quick and painless as
walking up to the cashier's
window in your bank, deposiling
two or five bucks and leaving.

On an average day—Monday,
Oct, 20, for example—566 people
visited the court, paid a total of
$1,437 in fines, Over 50 percent
of these fines were for parking
violations. Approximate monthly
take in the court {s $25,000, Each
year, the traffic court collects
‘about $300,000, which ain’t hay,

‘To date, no one has been
drafted from Traffic court. Be-
cause of the small number of em-
ployees, promotions are ‘infre-
quent, Most recent promotion
was that of Martin Glass, who ad-
vanced from clerk, grade 1 to
clerk, grade 2.

Temporary Employees
Can Be Fired Any Time

Dismissal of city employees in the

inverse order of their appoint-
ment, does not apply to tempor-
'y employees, the N. ¥. C, Civil
Service Commission ruled this
week, The ruling was made
when a temporary employee in
the Board of Transportation ob-
jected to his dismissal, The em-
ployee contended that the board
acted unfairly in dismissing him.
On the recommendation of Exam-
ining Assistant W. J. McCue, the
Commission backed the previous
decision of the Board of Trans-
portation in this matter.

the patrolman’s actual work week
from its present 56 7/10 hours to
51 6/11 hours.

In this day and age a group of
men are asking for a 51 6/11-hour
week!

‘That is why the 11-squad system
must come,

Where Should the Bill Go?
Delegates of the P.B.A. who at-
tended the Council debate ex-
pressd surprise upon learning that
the bill, after passing the Council,
would go to the Board of Hsti-
mate. They told The LEADER
that they had been informed, at
the time the bill was introduced,
that it would be sent directly to
the Mayor upon its passage in the
Council, of which they had been
assured, They had apparently
hoped that favorable considera-
tion of the Bill on the part of the
Mayor was more likely before
Election Day then after.

Several legal luminaries familiar
with local legislation were inter-
viewed by The LEADER on the
question whether the 11-Squad
Bill could have been sent directly
to the Mayor after the Council
passed it, Opinion was divided
on the subject, both sides quoting
Section 39 of the City Charter as
their authority.

The date of the next meeting of
the Board of Estimate, and
whether the 11-Squad Bill will be
on the calendar of that meetings
have not yet been announced,

Are YouDeeply in Debt?

New Plan Will Help City Employees

A new plan to help city em-
ployees who are deeply in debt
to refinance their obligations was
made public this week in a joint
announcement by Patrick W.
Harnedy, president of the Patrol-
men’s Benevolent Association,
and the office of the Comptroller,
The plan has the approval of Po-
lice Commissioner Lewis J. Val-
entine. Full credit for the idea
goes to the Patrolmen’s Benevo-
lent Association, following a con-
ference at which the plan was
discussed with representatives of
a dozen banks having personal
loan departments. The plan is not
applicable to brand new loans but
is available only to employees al-
ready embarrassed by debt.

The new policy provides that
the Comptroller's office will issue
to employees, at their request and
on payment of a two dollar fee, a
certificate indicating whether or
not there are any garnishees,
judgments or assignments out-
standing against them, With the
approval of the department head,
wage assignments may be made
to the lending institution, which,
in turn, will agree to reduce inter-
est rates and will not require a
co-maker on the loan, Such loans
will, of course, be subject to new
federal restrictions on borrowing
which will go into effect on No-
vember 1.

The intention of the idea was

"not to encourage additional bor-
rowing but merely to enable em-
Ployees in debt to refinance their
obligations, The new procedure
was adopted on the basis of an
opinion from the Corporation
Counsel.

Under the new plan, with the
various banks competing for the

business, interest rates should be
sharply cut for the benefit of bor-
rowers.

How It Would Work

What was the origin of the
plan?

‘The Police Department and tne
Patiolmen's Benevolent Associa-
tion have for some time been
deeply concerned by the bofrow-
ing habits of many policemen,
who are in “over their necks” to
so-called Shylock"? money-lend-
ers, More than once, officials
have attributed the depressive
attitude of some cops to the un-
bearable debt-burden they had as-
sumed. Until the present time, no
feasible solution for the problem
had been found.

Roughly, the present plan would
operate like this: a man will add
up all his debts, and be permitted
to borrow enough from a single
loan company to pay them off. A
portion of his salary would then
be assigned to the loan company,
and the entire loan would be but-
tressed by an insurance company
against dismissal, resignation, and
disability. Because of the insur-
ance, no co-makers would be
necessary. How could insurance
companies undertake the risk?
The LEADER learned this weelt
that they have available sufficient
information on employee salaries
and credit habits to be able to
work out the risk. No employee
could go into the plan without the
OK of the department head,

Originally, the Patrol men's
Benevolent Association planned to
work with one bank. After con-
ference at the Comptroller's Of-
fice, some 15 banks with person=
nal loan branches were called in,
and the element of competition
will probably lower the rates,

While the whole plan originated
with the PBA, the probability is
strong that it will operate for all
New York City employees,

Ellis to Submit Bill

Emil K. Ellis, who so far has
ssumed costs running well into
five figures in his work as coun-
sel to the City Council commit-
tee investigating the Municipal
Civil Service Commission and its
president, Paul J. Kern, plans to
submit a bill to the city within
the next few weeks,

The LEADER learned this yes-
terday, on the eve of publication
of the third and final section of
the report of the committee's
findings, The third section, a
catch-all and summarizing report,
comes to more than 300 printed
pages, bringing the full report
close to 600 pages. Ellis has paid
for it all.

Ellis explained that he never
realized the size of the work when
he accepted the job as counsel
more than a year ago, and feels
that the city has benefited con-
siderably from his work.

Recommends Changes
Many subjects are covered in
the third report, including the
Personnel of the Commission it-

self, the Borough Superintendent
case, the Grade 4 Tax Counsel
exam, the Bacon case, and spe-
cific recommendations for change
in the Civil Service law, rules,
and regulutions.

Ellis intimated that his findings
show that its rules and regula-
tions are being especially flouted
by the City Commission within its
own staff.

Ellis and Kern spent another
few days in headline fisticuffs
last week. The second report fea-
tured the political activities of
Kern, charging that the Commis-
sion head, though not proved to
be a member of the Communist
Party, has materially aided the
Communists through the support
of a number of allegedly ‘‘front"
organizations.

Kern, in his answer, pointed to
the fact that he has never been
connected with five of the men-
tioned organizations, He also gave
a detailed answer to charges made
by Ellis in the first report, list-
ing the charge and the answer in
parallel columns, He termed the
answer “Ellis and the forty lies.’

RESOLUTION

ALBANY—A last-minute and
wholly unexpected contest for rep-
yosentaative of the Audit and
Control Department on the execu-
tive committee of the association
of State Civil Service Employees
marked the election and induction
of officers at the annual meeting
of the group last week,

By less than 50 votes, Benjamin
J, Newell defeated Charles Swim,
incumbent, as the Audit and Con-
trol representative, while Joseph
Reilly of the DPUI won easily
over John Henry, incumbent, as
the Labor Department representa-
tive on the committee. Reilly's
margin of victory was about 2 to
1, The Newill-Swim contest de-
veloped at the last moment.

Resolutions adopted by the 120
delegates representing some 35,000
members included one amending
the by-laws to prohibit strikes in

publie service. Another urged
emergency increases in salaries
“commensurate with the —in-

creased cost of living,” and others

urged extension of the career

service law and enforcement. of

the eight-hour day law in institue
tional employment.

‘We're True Supermen,’

Say Prison

A crimp in the superman claims
of the sanitation eligibles has
just come to light from those on
the State prison guard list, We
publish this information with con-

siderable trepidation, trusting
that the two supermen groups
won't clash head-on, But in the
interests of truth we are forced
to report the following:

When the Sanitation exam was
first announced, a group of 35
hopefuls observed with horror the
requirements of a mile run, They
took their woes to the athletic di-
rector of one of the city’s oldest
settlement houses, Morris Kule-
kofsky, of Riis House.

Kulekofsky took the gentlemen
in hand, mapped out a full ath-
lelic program for them, and put
them through paces that allowed
most of them to pass the rigorous

How a State Employee
Answers Discipline Charge

The LEADER is publishing lat-
est available data on the proced-
ures to be used in putting the new
Halpern Discipline Act into ac-
tion, This act, which went into
effect October 1, extends possible
punishment to include demotion
in title and grade, suspension
without pay up to two months,
fine up to $50, or but
permits appeal to the State Civil
sion or the courts.

Last week ve outlined the form
for transmitting charges to em-
ployees about to be disciplined.
This is the procedure to take
place after such charges have
been forwarded:

(1) The law requires that the
employee be allowed “reasonable
time for answering same in writ-

ing.” Ten days would appear
reasonable for most cases, A de-
partmental hearing is not re-
quired at this point unless the
employee is a veteran or a yolun-
teer fireman, In fact, such a
practice would duplicate the pres-

ent law because a hearing must

be held by the Civil Service De-
partment if the emp appeals. »

(2) The employee is notified of
the final decision of the departs
ment, as in the following sample
letter
STATE OF NEW YORK
SPARTMENT OF - \{

An Important
Question Left Out

TT Civil Service Assembly is the prestige organi-

zation of personnel administration. Important

public officials and individuals interested in the
advancement of the merit system belong to it. The As-
sembly has undoubtedly done a splendid job of helping
to preserve and extend the principles of merit through-
out the country.

It is all the more disheartening, therefore, to find
that at its 33rd annual meeting held this week in Jack-
sonville, the Assembly completely fails to take up the
question of Civil Service in wartime. Closest approach
to the subject will be a discussion under the title “Meet-
ing Personnel Problems in the National Emergency.”
This discussion deals largely with recruitment methods.
That same national emergency has opened questicns
which are greatly troubling civil servants and prospec-
tive civil servants everywhere. In the event this nation
would go to war...

+ will the merit system tend to break down?

. .. what happens to the living standards of govern-
ment employees?

. is it feasible that government employees should

e “frozen” into their jobs?
. + Which jobs will become
transitory?

. which government services will be curtailed, and
what happens to the employees responsible for admin:
tering those services?

. what changes are to be anticipated in the tech-
nique of Civil Service — promotions, retirement, age
limits, training?

. shall women be given a larger place in govern-
ment employment? And what subsequent problems may
be anticipated as a result of the great influx of women
into government service?

+ ++ what will the post-war problems be? How can
we prepare now to cushion them?

. is there anything we can learn from Great
Britain’s experience?

There is little indication that these questions, and
countless others like them, are coming up for full dis-
cussion, Yet those who attend the conference are emi-
nently qualified to give their knowledge and thought to
these problems.

It seems a little academic, in October, 1941, to dis-
cuss such a subject as “Planning a Public Relations
Program,” while completely overlooking “Civil Service
in Wartime.”

The LEADER has sent a questionnaire to the As-
sembly. We hope, in the remaining days of this week,
that the questions will come up for discussion.

Civil Service wants the answers now.

The next annual meeting of the Assembly may be
too late!

Don’t Hurt the Cops!

NTLEMEN of the Board of Estimate:
( ast Wednesday, by the overwhelming majority
of 16 to 3, the City Council passed the 11-squad
bill to assure a decent working week for members of the
police force. The bill now goes to the Board of Esti-
mate, and it is sadly that we must report its chances for
getting through aren't as good as they should be. There
is widespread feeling that the Board of Estimate may
not take the enlightened view, may kill the bill.

This would be most unfortunate. We feel that the
cry of “politics” when the bill came up before the Coun-
cil was unfortunate, too. We don't think it’s “politics”
to give a large sector of civil servants the same working
conditions as are enjoyed by almost all other employees,
public and private. And we don't think that budgetary
considerations should dissuade the Board of Estimate
from affirming the action of the Council.
Department is undermanned now, and if it costs the city
another 1,000 men on the force—it's well worth it to the
city. Just read what two patrolmen say about the
11-squad system elsewhere in this issue.

comes from a distinguished back-
ground, but the first characteristic
that impresses you about Mrs.
Lucille Foster McMillin is her com-
plete friendliness. She converses
with frankness, There is no
endeavor to impart to the visitor
the fact of her importance in the
government, She smiles easily,
isn’t averse to telling little jokes
about herself, and frequently, after
a statement, she'll ask her young
secretary for confirmation: “Isn't
that so, Vera

This informality, contrasted with
the dignity of Mrs. McMillian’s ap-
pearance, gives one the impression
of a delightful, Alice-in-Wonder-
land personality. And the more you
learn about Mrs. McMillin, the
more you feel t Her heavy
duties—aiding in the examining of
millions of persons each year, lend-
ing her words and thoughts to the
solution of the colossal recruiting
problems occasioned by the de-
fense program, using her influence
to advance the interests of women
in civil service, the Commissioner
has not wearied under the task, has
not lost her delicate humor.

She was born in Shreveport, La.,
in the cotton-growing part of the
state. The tradition of the old
south, with its culture and genti-
tlity, was deep in Lucille Foster,
deep in all the members
rge family—there were 11,
of whom 8 grew up. Lucille’s edu-
cation was that of other girls in
her class—she went to boarding
school, studied diction, music,
languages. She sang, played the
piano. It was an interesting back-
ground, but who could have fore-
told that it would lead eventually
to the grueling, pitiless hurly-burly
of civil service administration?

She Marries a Governor

Lucille Foster travelled, and in
the course of her travels she met
and married Governor McMillin of
Tennessee. As the governor's wife
for two terms, she learned for the
first time, the tough realities of
Political life. She adjusted quickly,
and later, when her husband went
to South America as Ambassador
to Peru and to Guatemala, she ful-
filled her role as “wife and assist-
ant Ambassador” to perfection.
She explained to this interviewer
just what it means to be the wife
of a public man:

“A woman in this position must
work hard. She is constantly en-

Merit Men

tertaining or ‘being entertained,
and this isn’t the carefree sort of
thing that a woman in private life
undertakes. These functions are
important to her husband's work;
they must be carefully planned;
they must be attended no matter
how one longs for the quiet of the
home. When my husband couldn't
be present to the laying of a cor-
nerstone, I had to fill in for him.
I had to pitch in and make
speeches when he was upon other
business. I had to placate, and
make suggestions—all in a way
that could be unnoticeable, yet ef-
fective.”

Mrs. McMillin’s speechmaking be-
gan when she was 21. It was when
she was on the platform with her
husband, who was scheduled to
speak to 600 Tennesseean farmers.
The chairman rose and introduced
“the first citizen of this state.”
‘As the Governor was about to rise,
the chairman continued,” No, I
don’t mean you, Mr. Governor. I
mean Mrs. McMillin.” So, while
her husband sat frozen, the young
woman rose and addressed the
farmers, making a clean, extem-
Poraneous speech. The farmers
gave her a rousing cheer while her
husband wiped his brow in relief.

While in her early 20's, Mrs. Mc-
Millin was drafted to become
president of the State Federation
of Women’s Clubs, Her interest in
women’s problems has carried over
to this day, and she recently wrote
a book about women in civil ser-
vice.

Good Speaker

Mrs. McMillin, who freely admits
that she knows all the tricks of ef-
fective public speaking, tells the
story—of- one embarrassing oc-

“It is éommon for public speak-
ers to pick out one person in the
audience and speak directly to that
person. Well, I was addressing a
large group of women, and on the
right side of the audience my eye
caught one woman who seemed to
follow everything I said with great
intentness. Not for 2 moment did
she remove her gaze from my face.
It was a real inspiration to me.
When I had finished, the woman
edged her way to the platform, and
I squeezed her hand in gratifica-
tion.

“She said, dryly: ‘There's a hair-

ning. Please fix it.’
Goes Into Dramatics

Mr. MeMillin died in 1933. There-
after, she put her early training
to good use, giving dramatic re-
citals all over the country. She
became interested in the little
theatre movement, and did much
to further its progress. She did a
good deal of lecturing, too. She
became so popular that she began
to draw good fees, And of these
Mrs. McMillin says, philosophical-
ly: “You don’t know you're doing
good work unless you're paid for
it?

And with all of this, she found
enough time to study the Mayan
civilization in Peru, and had fun
contributing to our knowledge of
this abstruse subject.

Mrs. MeMillin’s opinion on many
subjects strike one as delightfully
quaint. Here’s an example:

“Men are more creative than
women.”

“Why?” you ask her,

“Why? Because the majority of

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

Page Thirteen

Civil Service in England—After the War

By WILLIAM J. BROWN
General Secretary, Civil Service
Clegical Association of
Great Brittain

In this article, the third of a se-
ries exclusively written for the
Civil Service LEADER, Mr.
Brown outlines points in the Brit-
ish Civil Service set-up where re-
form is necessary. These articles
are published with an eye towards
American public service, to point
out the pitfalls of our British
cousins so that we may profit by
their experience. on

‘The experiences of the war have
convinced a wide and influential
circle of people in Britain that
important reforms in Britain are
necessary. In the Civil Service
not everybody who is interested in
this matter would go as far as I
myself demo to go. But many
administrators in the service,
many business men and many
politicians would come with me a
Bood part of the road,

I wish to secure four major re-
forms in the service, These re-
forms are as follows:

1, A modification of the system
of ‘Treasury control’’ of the Ser-
vice,

2. The abolition of th
system in the Service,

3, The establishment of the right
of voluntary retirement at any
time with accrued pension rights.

4, Such changes as will give to
the civil servants in peace time a
reservoir of knowledge of indus-
trial and commercial conditions in
Britain,

Controlled by Treasury

To understand the first I must
repeat what I said in an earlier
article, that the Civil Service in
Britain, so far as pay, hours,
leave, overtime, and conditions of
employment are concerned, gen-
erally is controlled by the estab-
lishments division of the ‘Treas-
ury. We have Civil Service com-
missions in Britan but that body
is concerned only with the recruit-
ment of civil servants, It lays
down the syllabi for examinations.
It conducts the examinations, it
judges papers, it determines the
Successful listings, but after jt has
recruited the civil servant dnd al-
located him to his department, it

‘caste"”

has no further concern with him,
Thereafter his conditions of ser-
vice come under the control of the
Treasury,

This control is exercised in
meticulous detail. Not even a Cab-
inet Minister can increase the pay
of a stenographer by $1 a week
without the consent of the Treas-
ury, The Treasury controls not
only pay and conditions of ser-
vice, but also all major promo-
tions within the service. It allows
the department to make minor
promotions, such as from Sub-
Clerical to Clerical, without refer-
ence to itself, But all important
promotions, especially to the very
top posts of the service, require
Treasury sanction.

This means not only that the
Treasury has a general controlling
power over the department in
staffing affairs, but because the
way to higher promotion depends
upon Treasury approval. It has
its nominees, so to speak, firmly
entrenched in each of the min-
istries.

Under Exchequer or

The establishment division of
the Treasury comes under the
Chancellor of the Exchequor and
the Chancellor of the Exchequor
is not very much concerned about
the civil servants, His primary
function is to determine what
taxes should be raised and how
revenue should be allocated be-
tween the various departments,
and in this set up the civil ser-
vice is very small beer indeed. So
that in effect, control by the
Treasury means control by a
handful of men in one of the back
rooms of that department.

‘The test which the department
brings to bear upon every staffing
problem, because the department
is under the control of the Chan-
cellor, is a narrow financial test.
The function of the Establish-
ments Division of the Treasury,
may be described as being to see
that as little public money as pos-
sible is spent on the civil service.

I do not deny for a moment that
in any well-ordered government
there must be control at the cen-
ter of the expenditures of public
money, But I affirm that all sorts
of other things besides the narrow

financial criterion enter into good
administration and into good
staffing arrangements.

Wants Commission

What 1 should like to see in
Britain is a Civil Service Commis-
sion with its functions as widely
extended as to transform it into
a Department of Personnel. This
department would be responsible
for negotiating with the unions on
questions of pay and conditions
of service and it would deal with
the Treasury only in terms of a
block grant for the requirements
of the service just as other de-
partments deal with the Treasury
in terms of a block annual vote.

I would have a Ministry at the
head of this Personnel Depart-
ment so that the civil servants
would have a voice in the cab-
inet—apart from the yoice of the
Chancellor of the Exchequor
whenever civil service matters
were discussed by the govern-
ment.

In many modern businesses it is
usual to have one member of the
Board of Directors especially
charged with the problems of
staffing and personnel. It is this
idea which I would like to see
embodied in our civil service
structure in Britain.

My second reform would be the
abolition of the ‘caste’ system.
The Administrative Class is re-
cruited from university men who
went into the service at the age
of about 24. When they come in
they are usually attached for a
few years to a senior officer and
then’ they blossom forth as full
fledged administrators. They have
had no practical experience in the
executive or clerical work of a
department and so they have not
a very clear understanding of the
way in which the orders they give
will work themselves out.

I think this is wrong. No man
should be in a position to give an
order without being fully aware,
by the virtue of his own expe:
ence, of the consequences of that
order.

I would not exclude university
men from the civil service for
they too are God's creatures, but
I would insist that they should
sfend their early years in ac-

Recent amendments to the

Maine State Personnel Law in-
clude: the separation of the State
Budget Officer from the position
of chairman of the Civil Service
Board and the appointment by the
Governor of a wholly lay-member
board; the elimination of control
over the rules and regulations and
the appointment of the director
by the Governor's executive coun-
cil. ‘These two functions under
the new law are restricted to the
Civil Service Board and the Gov-

quainting themselves with the
clerical and executive processes of
the department before they were
allowed to do any administrative
work whatever. This reform will
be strongly contested in Britain,
but it very essential in my view to
the efficiency of the service,

‘The third reform £ should like
to see, is the establishment of the
principle that men can retire vol-
untarily at any stage with a pro-
portion of pension which he has
earned by his service.

Pays Own Pension

I want to see this reform for
two reasons, First is that if a man
receives less pay than he would
otherwise get because he is pen-
sionable, then, in effect, he is pay-
ing his own pension. Therefore
whenever he goes out he ought to
be entitled to the proportion of
the pension which he has earned.

The second reason is this—many
men after some years in the ser-
vice discover that they have no
vocation for the work, but by the
time they discover this their pen-
sion rights would have become
valuable, If they were free to take
their proportion of pension with
them, they would probably go out
of the service and find an occu-
pation tor which they were better
fitted, but they are unwilling to

sacrifice their accrued pension
rights and so they stay on as
square pegs in round holes to

their own damnation and to the
disadvantage of the public service,
whose efficiency could be much
improved if they went.

The fourth reform I should like
to see would be to make expert
knowledge of industrial conditions
permanently available to the Civil
Service.

Get Practical Experience

There are two ways we have
of securing this result. One would
be to arrange for an avenue of
entry into the civil service at @
much higher age than is now the
case, In that way we could draw
into service people with practical
experience of industrial and com~
mercial life.

Another way to achieve the
same results would be to develop
the system of ‘“seconding’ se-
lective civil service for a period

of service with big industrial con-
cerns outside, We have already
developed this conding”’ sys=
tem to a certain extent. For ex-

ample ‘seconding” customs offi-
cers in Britain train for service
with the customs systems of col+
onial countries,

I think it should be perfectly
possible to arrange that from time
to time we could send selected
men for service in industry, there
to acquire knowledge and experl-
ences which would be at the dis-
posal of the State service on their
return after the end of the ‘‘sec-
onding” period.

These are the four main reforms
which I should like to see. I think
that at the end of this war there
will be an opportunity to carry
these reforms through, and it is
my intention to do so if it is at all
possible.

ANSWER TO QUESTION 21

B is correct. Belief in any re-
ligion does, not relieve a person
from obeying a general law, if
such law is not aimed or made to
promote, help, restrict, or inter-
fere with any religion or religious
beliefs, The Supreme Court of
the U. 8. has, by an 8 to 1 deci-
sion, decided that if a law tis
passed to promote patriotism such
as making school children’ salute
the American flag, this is not
idolatry to an image, (which is
contrary to the teachings and
doctrines of many sects), but it
does help the promotion of
patriotism to our country, A is
wrong. If a law is unconstitu-
tional it does not have to be
obeyed, C and E are correct
statements of Constitutional law,
but they do not answer the ques-

tion, D ts wrong, On June-8, 1940,

ANSWER TO QUESTION 22

E is correct. The area within
the barriers erected in this par-
ticular situation is known as a
frozen zone,

ANSWER TO QUESTION 23

A is correct. According to the
regulations governing the election
of city councilmen by proportional
representation, the lowest num-
orical figure gets the credit on the

Assume that Patrolman Black
was assigned to direct traffic on
the Queens side of the Queens-
borough Bridge. At a time when
traffic was far below normal, he
observes a car slow down, after
the operator had given the proper
hand signal, and approach him in
manner which apparently indi-
cated that the operator wanted to
seek information. Patrolman
Black should (a) give the opera-
tor a scowl and wave him on (b)
ignore the operator completely (c)
courteously signal the operator to
proceed past him and keep going
(d) be courteous, make sure that

victim of a hit and run accident,
It appears that the victim has
suffered a fractured leg. In the
absence of suitable material to

lance the best of the suggested
action for Miller to take is to (a),
hang the victim by the armpits

Jow the patient to remain ag he
was found for he may have inter-
nal injuries (c) place patient on

No Pay Difference

M. M, R.: Dfafted employees of
New York State or city are not
entitled to any differential in pay
between the civil service salary
and the amount they receive in
military service, It appears un-
likely that legislation along these
lines will be adopted other than
the possibility of what is popu-
larly known ag ‘‘severance'’ pay,
that is, there may be an allow-
ance of 30 days’ pay upon an em-
ployee's entering the military ser-
vice and 30 days’ pay upon his re-
turn to the service—an adjust-
ment pay to permit an employee
to become alienated in his chang-
ing responsibilities, However,
there is no assurance that even
this will be adopted, The New
York State legislature struck this
provision out of the bill last year,

Following Orders
Which Conflict

J.P.B.: Yours is a rather novel
situation, Where two superior of-
ficers give you diametrically con-
flicting orders the most you can
do is use your good judgment
which order to follow. Your fail-
ure to follow both conflicting di-
rections will not render you sub-
ject to dismissal for insubordina-
tion. Where it is shown that an
employee has followed the direc-
tion of one supervisor which con-
flicts with the direction or order
of another of his supervisors, such
employee, it has been held, is not
properly subject to discipline for
failure to carry out a conflicting
order, You had better be sure
that the orders or directions are
conflicting before you determine
which order to follow. Naturally
you cannot be two places at the
same time,

Contributing to

Campaign

Q. E. D,: As I understand your
question, you want to know
whether members of a civil ser-
vice employees’ organization can
contribute, through their dues or
through a special fund, toward a
political campaign being con-
ducted by an officer of the organ-
ization who is running for office,
without violating Section 88 of the
Charter, My answer is No. I be-
lieve this would be a violation, no
matter whether the members con-
tributed voluntarily, knowing for
what purpose their money was to
be used, or whether they were
asked to contribute, Either way,
they are doing indirectly through
their organization what they can-
not do directly and in person.

ing solutions to the problem of |

finding men and women to care
for mental cases at $54 a month
plus maintenance when defense
work is offering boom wages.
The distressing news of the
week was the announcement that
the new hospital attendant list, |
barely two months old, has al- |
ready been exhausted for men in
all zone 4 institutions with the |
exception of Manhattan State
Hospital, Ward’s Island. The pre-
vious list is already exhausted for
women in zone 4 Institutions out
side the five boroughs. (Full de-
tails on the progress of the two |
lists appear in ‘Mental Hyg!
Notes,” page 18.)
Job Switches |
The Hospital Attendant job was |
switched from the non-competi- |
tive to the competitive class on

(

January 1 of this year, in a move
hailed by all devotees of the merit | -
system. It soon developed, though, |
that the switch had come at a|
most inopportune time, as most |
of the eligibles quickly turned
down job offers. Another exam |
was held last June, but the list
that resulted has met an equally
sad fate. |

The LEADER has commented
on this situation on many occa-
sions, We believe that the only
problem is for
fate Legislature to raise the
ries of Attendants so that
with the
and only

real solution to th
the

then will spealinsr,
We will keep plugging this
thought.

Even If You’re in the Army Now!

You might be able to pass a
literacy test in the U, S. Army
but that doesn’t mean that you're
smart enough to pass a similar
examination given by the Mu-
nicipal Civil Service Commission.
You might think that you're in
pretty good physical shape just
because you've been okayed by
army doctors, but to the Civil
Service Commission, you're just
another guy named Joe.

Can’t Waive Tests

At it's meeting this week, the
Commission denied a recommen-
dation that candidates in the
armed forces be permitted to
waive literacy and physical tests.
The Commission agreed that in
perhaps 95 percent of the cases

the army physical tests would be
on a standard equal to their owny
It would even save them a lot of
work by solving the problem of
administering examinations to
candidates in military service
But it wouldn't be Kosher. It
would be a delegation of the
examining function vested in the
Commission by the Civil Service
law to persons who are in no way
responsible to the Commission,
According to the Civil Service
Commission, “it is a fundamental
principle of Administrative law
that delegated power cannot be
further delegated."

And as far as literacy tests are
concerned the Commission ruled
that it is questionable’ whether
the standards established by the
Army for such tests are equive-
lant to those of the Commission
and whether they would be
adhered to as strictly as they
would by the Commission's
examiners,

Notes

By FRED ASHLEY
Real Estate Editor

Tweny dollars is not much
money, If you have that amount
and can afford to pay $5.00
monthly, you can get a wonder-
ful buy on a % acre lot near
transportation, stores, and schools
for a total amount of only 100.00.
Contact Dolan at 152 West 42d
Street or call WIsconsin 7-0635,
for full details,

Many New Yorkers think that
‘Westchester County is too expen-
sive for them. The main trouble
is that often the buyer expects
too much, Usually this buyer is
the one who gets less in the long
run for his money. There are
hundreds of fine used houses in
all sections of Westchester which
will make really fine homes for
people who want to live at rea-
sonably fair costs, In fact, many
homes are listed as low as $5,000
and $5,500, which have possibill-
ties if the buyers are willing to
do a certain amount of repairs
and decoration, In the Scarsdale
area alone, about nine old homes
are sold for every new one. For
full details about homes in the
Westchester area, write to M

ownership by workers which may

soon multiply by many times the
number of cooperative dwelling
units in this country has been
initiated by the Defense Housing
Division of the Federal Works
Agency. Known as the Mutual
Home Ownership Plan, it will en-
able workers in specified defense
housing projects to acquire group
ownership of their homes through
monthly payments and to operate
the projects in accord with estab-
lished cooperative methods. 500
families of shipyard workers are
being housed in the first project,»
Audubon Village, already com-

pleted at Camden, N. J. Funds
have been allocated to accom-
modate more than 4,000 addi-

tional families tn similar projects
inothercities, These projects alone
will more than double the total
number of cooperatively owned
dwelling units in the United
States, Under this plan 100 per
cent of the original financing Is
provided by the Government
which builds the projects. This
follows one type of cooperative
housing in Holland and Sweden.
There will, however, be no rental
subsidies, the projects being self-
liquidating. The by-laws of the
Audubon Mutual Housing Cor-
poration a non-profit agency set
up to operate the only project
opened thus far, provide opened
thus far, including one member,
one yote, and no proxy voting,

not used, ‘The bylaws also per-
mit the mutual home ownership

Burke Promises
Wage Increase

Councilman James A. Burke,
Democratic candidate for borough
president, promises “fair treat-
men and fair wages for civil ser
vice employees at borough hall’
after he takes office Jan. 1

“I was a civil service worker
myself for eight years,” Burke
declared. “I know these public
servants need a friend in office
during years of inflation such as
these. Wages in private industry
are going up. So are prices. Only
the civil servants pay is at a
standstill.

“Knowing the problems of civil
service, I know I will take to
Borough Hall a true understand-
ing and a desire to help. I promise
@ square deal to civil service.”

MIX-UP IN CITY
CARD PUNCH TEST

(Exclusive)

A drastic change in require-
ments for future city office ap-
pliance operator tests is probable
as a result of a mix-up in connec-
tion with four tests for which fil-
ing ended yesterday.

In announcing its tests for office
appliance operator, grade 2, for
work on the I.B.M., alphabetic ac-
counting machine, the I.B.M. nu-
meric accounting machine, the
I.B.M. numeric punch machine,
and the Remington-Rand Powers
key punch machine, the Municipal
Civil Service Commission required
candidates to show either one
year's experience or ‘‘one year of
formal training in a school ac-
creditéd by the University of the
State of New York.
Soon after filing was opened, it
turned out that 12 weeks—not one

year—was the maximum time
given for any appliance
operator cours: also that no
accredited schools offer such

arses,
Starts Inquiry

The Commission, which strictly
adheres to a policy of rejecting
training gained in non-accredited
schools, plans to disqualify those
who applied under the training al-
ternative. It has also directed an
inquiry into the situation among
the various training school.

Here are some other factors
that should reasonably be constd-
P

The federal government qualifi-
fies candidates who have com-
pleted intensive training courses
lasting only three weeks, yet finds
difficulty in locating sufficient

n the City Commission al-
lowed in to its exams candidates

with neither training nor experi-|

ence, it found that most of the
eligibles could not work the ma-
chines,

Possible Solutions

‘There are several possible solu-

tions

Promotion exams may be held,
with grade 1 clerks admitted.

The City Commission may in-
sist that all candidates have one
year’s experience, But then ade-
quate competition is unlikely.

It’s all frankly very much up
in the air today. The LEADER
will continue to follow the matter.

20 Attendants’ Names
Go to Housing Agency

Twenty names on the attendant
messenger list were certified to
the New York City Housing Au-
thority to fill three jobs as
Process servers at $1,200 per year.
The jobs are for an indefinite
period of time and are therefore
considered by the Civil Service
Commission to be permanent. The
highest eligible reached was num-
ber 732.

Nineteen additional names from
this list were certified to the De-
partment of Hospitals for two
jobs as stock assistant at $1,014
and $774 with maintenance, The
highest eligible reached on this
particular certification was the
lad whose number is 840.

Next week, because of election,
‘The LEADER comes out on Mon-
day, November 3, instead of Tues-
day, as usual. Remember to get

Films of the Week

“You'll Never Get Rich’’ teamo
Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth
as gay, romantic dancing partners
against a comedy background of
army life, at Radio City Music
Hall.

Fred Astaire, a fine comedian
plays the part of a dancing diree-
tor, who joins the army to get
away from a gorgeous dancing
chorine, Rita Hayworth, only to
find himself in more trouble at
the army camp. Bob Benchly
turns in a humorous performance
as a producer married to Frieda
Inescort, who keeps getting Fred
Astaire in trouble by shifting his
romanics to him, until Frieda gets
wise.

With Cole Porter songs as a
background, Fred Astaire en-
hances with his rhythmic dancing
feet, ably aided in the intricate
tap numbers by the enchanting
loveliness of Rita Hayworth, The
cast is well supported by John
Hubbard, Osa Massen, Guinn Wil-

liams, Donald McBride, Cliff Naz-
zarro, Majorie Gateson, Ann
Shoemaker, Boyd Davis. The film
is a fast moving musical, put
together skillfully under the di-
rection of Sidney Lanfield, a
tribute to Columbia Pictures,

On the great stage, “Up Our

Alleys,” a presentation about
Manhattan's side streets.
OTHING BUT THE

TRUTH” with Bob Hope changes |
the pace and keeps the Hope fans |
amused at the Paramount. Hon- |
esty is the main theme and Bob
Hope, as the bewildered stock- |
broker, bets $10,000 of Paulette
Goddards cash that he can go on |
for 24 without telling a single lie— |
not even a little one. |
From the start, Bob, amusing as
ever, runs himself frantic trying |
to keep from losing the wager
which means $20,000 and Paulette
Goddard, if he succeeds. Edward
Arnold, Leif Ericson and Glen
Anders, help Bob and Paulette
keep the audience amused while
Paramount turns in another laugh
riot. Featured on the stage are
the Andrews Sisters, Johnny Long
and his orchestra and Larry
Adler, virtuoso of the harmonica.

Elect a Real Friend

of Civil

Service

*
JAMES A.

BURKE

REGULAR DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
FOR

A former Civil Service employee and a former teacher of Civil

Service, he knows your problems. He has always been

a friend of the merit system.

*

He Deserves your Support on His Record

IM BURKE headed the special aldermanic

committee that inspired legislation at
Albany ending discrimination against the
middle-aged in Civil Service.

E passed bills giving State and City hos-

pital employees the eight-hour day. He
supported mandatory increases for City em-
ployees.

E sponsored bills extending sick leave
with full pay to police per diem em-
ployees.

E fought to pass a bill putting hospital
internes on a $1,000-a-year salary.

E is serving as a member of the Council-
manic Committee investigating the Muni-
cipal Civil Service Commission.

E led the fight in Queens to prevent a

wholesale layoff of Civil Service em-
ployees in the county offices when photostat
machines were installed for recording of rec-
ords. He organized the committee that brought
about transfer of employees to other positions
in the city government.

E is sponsoring a bill before the current

session of the City Council protecting
the pension rights of Civil Service employees
drafted for the emergency auxiliary police
and fire service.

E has consistently supported all legisla-

tion favorable to Civil Service workers
coming before him as Assemblyman, Alder-
man and City Councilman. z
