Action

To Health Board

ALBA Oct. 15—Of-
ficials of the Civil Service
Employees Association last
week urged the State Temp-
orary State Health Insurance
Board to adopt a plan of ac-

tion that would get the pro-|
“out of the rarefied at-| 4

gram
mosphere of policy thinking
and down to the hard facts
of benefits in terms of dol-
lars and cents.”

John T. DeGraff, Associa-
tion counsel, along with As-
sociation President John F.
Powers and John Kelly, Jr.,
assistant counsel, urged the
board to delegate to its staff
the task of drafting the
broadest possible program it
could conceive in health in-
surance plans,

Equat Partners

Mr. DeGraff asked, then, that
the plan be sent to those interested
Bor-profit and commercial insur-
ors, ay well us employees. When
@O8t proposals with unit prices for
benefits contained are received,
then the board could sit down with
their equal partners, the employ-
es, and arrive at a specific pi
oa which to take bids, he sald.

Chairman Young Tells How It's Done

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15—Chair-
man Philip Young of the U. 8, Civ-
fi Service Commission reported on
& sampling of executives and ad-
ministrators now working for the
government. He addressed the an-
nual conference on public admint-
stration, conducted by the Civil
Bervice Assembly at the Hotel)

He found that the Federu) ca-
Teer executives’ avernge age wns

Merit System
Vs. Patronage
Debated Again

WASHINGTON, Oct, 15—The
merit system versus patronage was
Gebated again, this time by several
panels at the conference of the
Civil Service Assembly, The result
was the same as ever: the merit
system has tts place, so has pat- |
ronage, but one method should|
not attempt to encroach on the
Fightful Meld of the other.

Chairman Philip Young of the |
U. 8 Civil Service Commission |

found both methods essential and |indicated by the resolutions they have adopted. It has |
asked that a better effort be made | become a word in daily use by public employees who seek |

by the two groups to understand |
@nd respect each other, |

"The political executive,” he
said, “must learn the facilities the
career staff has at its disposal,
and how those facilities may be
used to implement policy. On the
other hand, the career man must
fook to the political official for
Polley directions,”

Mr, Young again endorsed the
plan to set up a senior ctvil ser- |
vice as proposed by the Hoover

Former Civil Service Commis

Strong Merit System

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15—Mes-

President Eisenhower wrote

Supplementation Plan
Gains Wide Support

ORDS take on special meanings when regularly ap-
plied to special events or situations. “‘Supplemen-
tation” means Social Security for public employees, an
addition to the advantages of retirement systems. It has
become the goal of many civil service organizations, as

work together.” He asserted that
‘a strong unfettered civil service
ja essential to the continued efMf-
clency of governmental affairs,”

In his messnuge, Adial Stevenson
deplored Mr, Eisenhower's Pederal
employee loyalty program, deciar-
ing: “We must defend those tn

rassment, from callous, trrespons-
ible attacks on their Integrity and
| loyalty and treat them with the
dignity and justice to which they
are entitied.”

this additional measure of security.

The progress of supplementation in New York State
government is being watched by public employees else-
where because there is little doubt that if the State enacts
such a program in collaboration with the Federal Gov-
ernment, local units of government within the State will
have to fall in line,

The problem is not simple. The budgetary implica-
tions are substantial. However, the cost can be met with
benefits to the State which will outweigh the expendi-
tures, and the employees are willing to pay their share.
State Comptroller Arthur Levitt, Democrat, the chief
fiscal officer of the State, championed supplementation
arly this year. Recently the Republican legislative lead-
ership endorsed supplementation. Governor Harriman has
now endorsed supplementation, The plan therefore has
become bi-partisan, justifying increased hope for the ne-
ceasary legislation early in the 1957 session.

Forced Resignations
A Form of Knavery

HE Sorin Law did not come easy. Last year, after a

10-year fight, civil service employees succeeded in
getting State legislation enacted, for those in the com-
petitive class, providing the right to written notice of
charges, a forma] hearing and a right to representation
by counsel,

A Value That Must Not Be Destroyed

The Sorin law is of great value. To expose a griev-
ance to an open hearing has the effect of preventing base-
less charges, It protects tenure, the most valuable right
of the public employee. The operation of the Sorin Law
has been so successful that the Civil Service Employees
Association at its annual meeting adopted a resolution
recommending its extension to non-competitive employees.
Non-competitive employees are entitled to the protection,
too.

Under the Sorin Law it is difficult for an adminis-
trator to remove an employee for personal, political or
trivial reasons, Either the agency's witnesses don’t stand
up when confronted by the accused, or are forced into
the truth on cross-examination, or the accused proves
that he had done nothing to warrant removal .

| Violations, Nevertheless

\

Despite the generally satisfactory operation of the
Jaw, some administrators apparently violated at least
fis spirit. Civil service attorneys tell of administrators
who called employees on the carpet and asked them to
resign under the threat that they would be given a hear-
ing on charges and dismissed anyway, if they failed to do
as they were requested. But if the resignation {s forth-
coming, the employee is assured that he can give the de-
partment as a reference. Thus a hearing, intended as a
protection to the employee, becomes a device for expos-
ing and humiliating him, an example of sheer knavery.

In other cases the administrator does not threaten
a hearing. He calls the employee on the carpet and merely
asks him to resign. This seems fair and innocent enough
on the face of it. However, such procedure is a cireum-
vention of the Sorin Law. The head of an agency or an
agency's personnel officer is on a higher authoritative
Jevel than an employee. The request for a resignation
(without a Sorin Law hearing) thus becomes a subtle
form of intimidation,

Resignation Request Must Be Taboo

No administrator should suggest resignation. If he
wants to remove an employee he should proceed accord-
Ing to law, otherwise let the employee remain In service,

The Sorin Law makes careful provision for the ap-
pointment of a hearing officer who has authority to de-
elde under the law whether the employee should keep
his job or not, The law says nothing about the admini-
strator making such decisions,

State and local civil service commissions should study |

the operation of the Sorin Law, including infractions. If

IDEAS

TWO WAYS
OF FIRING

The employee periodical of the
Smithsonian Institution published
the following:

“There ave two ways of firing
men.

“The first kind of firing that
we naturally think of {s to dis~
charge the employee—to let him
so, This ts the line of least re-
sistance and ts often the easiest
apparent solution, But unless he
is absolutely hopeless, discharging
the employee only exchanges one
set of faults for another, The new
man will not be perfect. He, too,
will require (raining and fashion-
ing to hin job,

“The second way to fire a man
is to fire his mind and spirit with
the determination to make good.
Tnstead of letting the man go you
set a fire under him so that he
will make himself go—with en-
thustasm.,

“It the employee has basically
wood qualities, even though he
has many faults, this second way
of firing him {x often the best.
You conserve the good and you
inspire the man to grow and do
8 better Job."

CONTRAST
IN SALARY

Recently social welfare work-
er called the Civil Service Assem-
bly’s attention to an examination
announcement listing a number
of openings. He was disturbed be-
cause of the differences in the sal-
ary offered for « soclal worker TI
and an auto mechanic I, in view
of the education and experience
which were required for each Job,

‘The social worker pay was $399-
$414 and applicants needed a col-
lege degree plus 12 months’ exper-
fence, or a year of post-graduate
work. The pay for the auto me-
chante was $417 « month, He must

MODERN PUBLIC

MAAAAADAAAAAAAAAAAAAADAAADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

STILL GREATER courtesy toward the public Is the goal in all
fovernment jurisdictions, New York City has just started a courtesy
course for some of its employees, who are to pass on or to fellow-
employees what the course taught, The Federal and State governs
ments showed the same kind of Interest, Now the Veterans Admin
istration 1s taking the project really to heart.

Harvey V. Higley, Administrator of Veterans Affairs, said the VA
is going all out to improve the job it does in meeting the public,

He has issued a training guide, “You Meet the Public,” to assist
the 177,000 employees in the fine art of meeting the public face te
face, by telephone, and by letter,

“The problem of maintaining prompt, courteous, efficient and
understanding contacts with the public is a continuous challenge,”
he sald,

“No matter what the pressure may be, we must never Jose our
respect for the dignity of each individual with whom we are con-
terned, We must never forget that involved in every interview, in
telephone call, or letter are the hopes, the doubts, and the fears of

Some of his tips: Face to face: "Recognize a visitor promptly,
{f you can't avoid detay, explain the reason right away.” “Be a good
Ustener, Let the visitor talk.” “Try to achieve the human touch by
putting yourself In the other fellow's place.”

By telephone: “Greet the caller pleasantly.” “Give Information
willingly.” “Hang up the receiver gently."

By letter: “Don't repeat what is said in n letter you receive,
The fellow who wrote it knows what he said.” “Don't try to Impress
your reader with big words and long, involved sentences, Use short
words, short sentences, short paragraphs.” “Don't hedge.” “Be
human,”

He supports ail these tips with examples, exercises, and dem-
onstrations in the training guide.

Problems of City Transit

Most of the 1,500 transit systems In the nation’s cities are elther
losing money or Just breaking even, says the International City
Managers’ Association.

In some cities, the privately owned transit system has been
[abendonee without full consideration of community benefits lest
thereby, In m few cases, the system has passed by default into
municipal ownership.

Yet the only approach that gives promise of long-term solution
to the transit problem fs the one that has been most neglected, says
David S. Arnold, publications director of the association,

This approach first considers basic uses of the land and then

The fire chief of Ejizabeth, N, J., recommends a walt of at

Marked rejected because he wae

Feconcile hin statement that “we
@onducted the audit on the basis
of the dutles and responsibilities
@f the positions and not of the
particular individuals who happen-
@d to be the incumbents” with the
fact that many incumbents work-
ing out of title were upgraded and
@emented in thetr out-of-title poat-
tions which were improperly re-
Classified because it Is illegal to/
ehange the incumbent's title to
Ht the duties he wax actually per-
forming? Is it not manifestly un-
fair to the employee who ts legally
entitled to occupy such position
and who has perhaps not been
Uperaded because his superior ts
working out of title? Is out-of-title
work not legally prohibited and
Was it not one of the major ob-
fectives of the Career and Salary
Pian to correct all out-of-title
work and not perpetuate it?

3. As further evidence that in-
@ividuals and not positions were
@udited, consider (1) where the
poattion of an incumbent working
Out of title was improperly classl~
fied with the understanding th
when It became vacant such im- |
Proper reclassification would be
eorrected, and (2) where the pres
ent incumbent was given a higher
Une with the understanding that a
lower line would be assigned to
the position when it became va-|

BARRETT RUNNING

FOR STATE

Civil servants In New York State
may have to look for one of their
most noted champions In another
eorner of the Legislature ring af-
ter November 6.

Elisha T. Barrett, of Suffolk
County, has been an ardent sup-
porter of legislation In behalf of
public employees during some 20
years of representing the Second
Assembly District,

This year, Mr, Barrett has de-
eided to cast his hat in the dis-
trict’s senatorial ring,

In so doing, Mr, Barrett feels
he can expand the area of service
to the State and to the public,
to which he has devoted himself
these past two decades,

Few State employees need an in-
troduction to the Suffolk County
legislator

Eyes on Barrett

Tt was through his sponsorship
that a bill extending the Feld-
Hamilton Act to Mental Hygiene
Department employees was passed
The bill had been drawn up by
The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation

Albany's Finest and Fastest

SENATOR

this year, he expended great ef-
fort to push through the Associa
tion's bill on Social Security.

Mr, Barrett successfully spon-
sored Association bills that ex-
| tended the eight-hour day to cer~
tain employees denied this benefit
by a ruling of the Attorney Gen-
eral, and got rid of antiquated
“commutation” and "head of fam-
fly” salary provisions of the
Mental Hygiene Law,

While some bills sponsored by
Mr, Barrett failed to pass in the
Assembly, these same bills often
laid the groundwork for related
benefits,

Many civil servants throughout
the state, a3 well as In Suffolk
County, will be watching the re-
sults of Mr, Barrett's bid for a
Senate sent,

They would be greatly disap-
pointed, were they to lose such a

N. Y. Federation of Post Of-

President Eisenhower to establish
Lincoln's Birthday, Columbus Day
and Election Day as holidays,

Prior to 1958, employees got one
of the three days off, hence work-
‘ed two out of the three, Later the
Post Office Department issued in-
structions based on using substl-
tutes, to replace the regulars let
off.

POSTAL CLERKS ASK
THREE MORE HOLIDAYS

President Eisenhower has been
asked by the postal clerks’ union,

The union contends that sub-
atitute employees are used the
year round and the only effect of
the new order is to take away @
day’s pay a year from the regular
employee.

The New York City postal clerks

Radiation Staff
‘Asks More Pay
Because of Risk

‘The discionires made last June
by the National Academy of
Sciences with respect to the dang-
ors of X-rays have caused the
New York City X-ray and radia-
tion technicians in the Health and
Hospitals Departments to petition
the City anew for an increase from
@rade 5, $3,250 to $4,330, to grade
11, $4,850 to $6,290. The higher
salaries would include “risk pay.”

Former Magistrate Eugene R.
Canudo, counsel for the group,
submitted a new brief to the Ca-
reer and Salary Appeals Board
that pointed out the unfathomable
perils involved in X-ray use and
application, According to the Na-
tlonal Academy report, X-ray
damage {s cumulative over a life-
time, with genetic damage bulld-
ing up and being transmitted to
mucceeding generations. Mr. Ca-
nudo points out that such damage
cannot be avoided by City X-ray
workers, and on their behalf rec~
ommended raives in five salary
grades.

Schechter’s

Job Audit Reply
Found Wanting

“Inadequate and unsatisfactory.”

That was the comment of the
Civil Service Forum on Personnel
Director Joseph Schechter’s ans-
wer to its charge that secrecy
marks the results of Job audits,

It was conceded that the De-|

partment of Personnel conducted
& mass Job audit under extremely
diMcult conditions and that the

first report to New York City de-|

partment heads of the job sudit
results were properly marked con-
Adential, Interpretation of the
word “confidential” by some de-
partment heads was unreasonable,
the Forum holds, adding that per-
haps Inck of proper instructions
was the cause,
Inconsistency Noted

One complaint was « position of |

the same comparative level of |
Feaponsibility in different agencies |
Would be treated differently. Some |

ecutive committee members felt
that certain department heads were
more successful on behalf of their
Personne! than were others, An-
other complaint was that no pub-
Melty ts given to the determina-
tions of the Job audits until they
are finally adopted by the Board
of Estimate.

‘The executive committee wants
department heads to be granted an
Additional opportunity to sorrect
conaidered inequities,
