ALL-OUT PLEA TO CONGRESS URGED ON
FIRE AND POLICE SOCIAL SECURITY BILL

ALBANY, Aus. 19 — Swift Con-
gressional action is needed if New
York State police and firemen are
to obimin the benefits of Social
Seourity coverage, John F. Powers,
President of the Civil Service E-
Ployees Associaticn, warned this
week.

The U. 5S, Senate Finance Com-
mittee has taken an important
step toward accomplishing such
eoverage by amending a House So-
olal Security bill extending Social
Security to police and firemen.

This gives promise of Congres-
sional action on the subject this
year but the time left for such ac-
tion Is growing short,

Mr. Powers painted out that
failure by Congress to act on the
measure this term would deny So~-
celal Security to the two groups on
the much-needed retroactive basis
as provided by the New York State
Legislature tn its ast session.

‘The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, together with the Police
Conference of Police Organizu-
tions in New York State and the
New York Staite Pire Fighters As-
sociation, Aave urged the Senators
and Congressmen from the State
of New York to extend the Social
Security benefits to these uni-
formed services. The Employees
Association also has written to
Governor Harriman asking his
support in getting the measure
through, Other state officials have
addressed similar petitions to the
Congressional representatives and
leaders.

Wilson Makes Plea

Malcolm Wilson, Assemblyman,
and Chairman of the Joint Legis-
lative Committee on
Retirement System, in a statement
which was sent to Congressmen,
stated "We fvcl that it is of vital
importance that such an amend-

State Acting To Combat
Asiatic Flu Among Aides

ALBANY, Aug. 19 — Governor
Harriman, as an initial step in
preparing the State tc combat any
possible development of Asiatic
influenza, has authorived the
State Health Commissioner, Dr,
Herman Hilleboe, to provide State
aid to local communities for the
purchase of Asinn influenza vac~
cine,

‘The Governor authorized the
Health Department to reimburse
eounties and cities of over 50,000
Population for the purchase of
vaccine and essential personnel —~
those who care for the sick, police~
men and firemen and essential
industries.

Authorization was also given the
Mealth Department to provide, as
soon a8 available, vaccine for
State personnel needed for the
maintenance of rasential services
in caring for the sick and men-
tally tll, the State police and those
employed in the care of inmates
of the State's correction institu
bons,

ment be passed thi) year, The bill
which our committee prepared and
which is now the law of this State
expressly anticipates the exten-
sion of the eligibility to policemen
and firemen by Federal law, Ac-
complishment of thia legislation
at the present session of Congress
will preserve to the policemen and
firemen the benefit of retroactive
coverage provided by the State
jaw.’ Mr. Wilson concluded his
statement by urging “each of New
York State's Representatives and

Senators to give their full support

to HR 8775 or any other substan-
tally identical bill which will pro-
vide Social Security this year for
the policemen and firemen of this
State.”

Letkowlts Lends Support

Also, the Attorney General of
the State, Louls J. Lefkowitz, tele~
graphed his support to the Wash-
ington representatives for the pra-
sage of a Social Security bill. His
telegram said in part: “Time Is
running short to. . . provide retro-
active coverage for the policemen

and firemen of New York State by
the end of 1957."

All Should Help,

Mr, Powers has urged all of the
members of the Association to
write thelr Congressional Repre-
sentatives asking that the Social
Security bill just passed by the
Senate Finance Committee be en-
acted this session. “I strongly urge
all those public employees inter-
ested in having the policemen and
firemen of the State get Social
Security to write to thelr Con-

gressmen immediately, Not only
is the time short to accomplish
this benefit for thousands of de-
serving people, but also there is
opposition in some quarters
against the passage of this
amendment. Only by the welght of
your public opinion will the mem-
bers of Congress be definitely im-
Pressed by your wishes in this re=
gard. Along with the other em-
ployee organizations interested in
policemen and firemen, we have
been out in the front urging that
this amendment be adopted.”

Way Cleared For Returned Aides
To Obtain Social Security On
Rejoining Retirement System

Levitt Obtains
Ruling to Help
Older Employees

ALBANY, Aug. 19—State Comp-
troller Arthur Levitt announced)
that at his request the Federal |
Department of
Heakth, Educa-
tion and Welfare a
has revised ita
Social Security
rulings to allow
public employees
who have retired
and returned to

public employ-
ment to obtain
Social Securitg ®8™HUM Laverr

coverage and to benefit from the
retroactive provisions of the State
Bocial Security laws,

Under the new rulings employ-
fea who have retired and returned
to work as temporary employees
may have Social Security cover-
age for thelr active employment
during the retroactive period if
they rejoin the New York State
Employees’ Retirement Syatem,

Employees who were eligible to
Join the Retirement System but
did not Join until after the begin-
ning of the retroactive period and
employees who were Ineligible to
Join the Retirement System but
have become eligible for member-
ship due to a change of elreum-
stance will also benefit from the
rulings. They will be given Soolal
Security credit for the entire retro-
active period providing they are
members of the Retirement Sys-
tem at the time the contracta be-
tween the State and Federal gov-
ernments are signed,

Kligthility Was in Doubt
Prior to the now rulings there
has been serious question about

the eligibility of any employee
who has retired within the retro-

s\ sons affected by

active period for eredit for em-
ployment before retirement. For

example, until this
was received an employee who re-
tired March 1 this year because
he reached the mandatory retire-
ment age and who returned to
work immediately a3 a temporary
employee would only have been
entitled to Soctal Security cover-
age for the time he worked after
March 1.. Now, if he rejoins the
| Retirement System he may be
credited with his entire employ-
ment within the retroactive pe-
riod,
Some Risk Involyed

Mr. Levitt urged all those per-
the rulings to
consider rejoining the Retirement
System. He said. “If they do 30,

new ruling) is signed they will recetve Social

Security credit for thelr active
employment during the retroactive
period, He cauiioned, however,
that “every member who rejoins
the retirement system takes a risk
and all of the people who consider
this action should be aware of it,
Any retired employee who rejoing
the System and who dies before
he is able to carn his Social Se-
curity credit and retire again, may
incur serious financial joss for his
family.”

Social Security credit for the
retroactive period Ly avatlable only
to those employees who were em-
ployed at the time the Federal-
State contracts ar signed. This

and if they are members of the| retroactive credit 1s only for the

Employees’ Retirement

System | Mime within that period which the

when the Federal-State agreement person has been actively employed.

HE LEADER was naturally delighted this week when
it received a high compliment from the Federal Social

Security Administration on the excellence and accuracy
of its reporting, comment and correspondence on Social
Security subjects, The correspondence consists mostly of
answers it publishes to questions of general interest; many
queries of only special interest are answered by mail,

In addition, the Social Security Administration ac-
knowledged that through The Leader, from 100 to 300
requests each week are received for the free Social Se-
eurity booklet, An advertisement appearing this week on
page 7 tells how to get this booklet,

President

Civil Service Employees Association

a cM Bata Se am sea]
CSEA Must Have Health Plan Voice

‘The time Is drawing near when the Health Insurance Program
will be put into effect for the State employees, The New York State
plan, which has been cited by many as tha best of its type in the
country, was outlined Iast week in a briefing session held in Albany
for all of the State's personnel officers, Unless something unforeseen
happens, this would seem to indicate the plan will be in operation
this fall.

‘The next step, however, after the plan ts put Into operation, will
be the creation of a permanent managerial agency. What form this
agency will take we cannot at this moment guess, but if a Board ts
eet up, we definitely feel that there should be a representative from
the employees appointed to it. The arguments for employee repre-
sentation are so well known they do not need repetition.

An Employee Idea

In New York State, it was the employees who first made the
Public statement calling for a Health Insurance Plan, The Civil Serv~
ice Employees Association, can take pride In the fact, that their letter,
in 1954, asking for such Insurance, was sent to Governor Harriman
within days after his inauguration, We have been active with sugges
tions while the program was being formulated, and on every possible
occasion we have kept the public employees informed as to Its devel-
opment. When progress lagged, we prodded: and when rumors of
benefits for the employees seemed not of the best, we protested.

CSEA Should Not Be Ignored

We carefully guarded the interest of the public employee at every
moment during the many months between the letter to the Governor
in January, 1954 to the present, Therefore, {t is not without reason
that the Civil Service Employees Association looks to: more active and
more formal participation in the operation of the plan, After all, we
now have 65,000 of the 90,000 state employees as paid members. We
are in essence—if not in fact—thelr representatives, and {t seems
fitting that our position should be acknowledged by an appointment
to the Health Insurance Governing Board,

Survey Tells Needs
At Woodbourne

ALBANY, Aug. 19 — A state in-
spection of facilities of the Wood-
bourne Correctional Institution
shows “a satisfactory degree of
cleanliness and order.”

The Siate Correction Commis-
tion also reported its survey
showed the need for additional
hospital equipment and improve-
ments in the ventilation of the
bakery and paint shop.

Ten vacancies in the custodial
staff existed the Ume of in-
spection, as well as two vacancies

in the teaching staff, The report
added:

“In view of the fact that the at-
tendants in the department are
not being replaced with attend-
ants as vacancies occur, it be-
Comes increasingly important to
fill the nurse's item, which pres-

ently is vacant, It Is also advis-
able that a new position of phar-
Miaclst be created.”

Expected on hand to aid work-
er in filing any appeals regard-
ing the county's new reclassifica~
tion plan will be Henry Galpin,
salary analyst for the CSEA; Har-
old Hertastein, CSEA regional at-
torney, and Benjamin Sherman,
CSEA field representative.

In order to handle the many
appeals expected, Mr, Plaumen-
baum urges all employees needing
such help to attend a session at
the clinic as early as possible,

City

New York City will open its next
examination for filling housing of-
fleer jobs under more auspicious
circumstances than ever before.
‘The salary is on the way toward
being raised, and there is a plan
afoot to increase the size of the
force, Also under consideration ts
the asstgnment of police titles, and
the creation of supervisory posi-
tions that would increase promo-
ton opportunities,

Applications will be received in
October and the written test ts
tentatively set for Saturday, Peb-
tuary 8,

While the examination has al-
ways proved popular, lately the
Housing Authority has had to can-
Yass an abnormally large number
of eligibies before it could get ac~
ceptances. This condition is ex-
pected to change, in connection
with the eligibles remaining on the
present list, and those who will be
on the forthcoming and supersed~
ing list, because of the pay im~-
provement. .

Pay Prospects

The present pry {s $3,635, or
nearly $74 a week, rising to $4,630,
$03 a week, through annual in-
crements. The salary scale ts that
of grade 7 under the Career and
Salary Plan, $3,750-$4,830, but ap-
pointments are made at $3,835 be-
cause that pay was advertised in
the examination announcement.

As an examp’e of how fast the
Present list is moving, 50 appoint-
ments are now being mfide. It ts
expected that appointments In
groups of 50 will follow, depend-
ing on the needs of the service.
Since the service 4s destined for
expansion, the job opportunities
are expected to increase consid-
erably.

‘The Housing Authority has ree-
ommended that pay start at $4,300
($34), as of January 1 next, with
maximum of $5,615 (6108) attain-
able after three year's service,

Quota Raised to 290

Although the City pay scales of
the Authority have to be approved
by the City government, to become
effective and the Authority ts
also subject to Federal control,
| since it ts partly subsidized by the
| Pederal government, the Authors

usually prevail finally, Besides,
the housing officer force — the
police force of the Authority —
has come prominently into the
public eye recently because of the
need for ‘round-the-clock police
protection for more of the HA‘s
84 projects, only 16 of which get
that service, It is not argued by
proponents of enlarging the sphere
of operation that all 64 need the
full service,

The present list started with
2,067 names. The latest certifica~
tion, consisting of 192 names,
reached eligible No. 1100,

The present housing officer
quota {8 290, Including the 50.
City Administrator Charles F.
Preusse, whom Mayor Robert F.
Wagner assigned to study the
subject, recommended that the
force be increased to 548, and also
favored police titles and the cre-
ation of the position of Heutenant.

Probable Requirements

In the last examination there
were no formal educational or ex-

perlence requirements for this
position. Other requirements were:

Candidates must be not less
than 6 feet six Inches in height
(bare feet), have 20/30 vision in
tach eye separately without glasses
and normal hearing in each ear,

No person may file an applica«
tion who has not reached his 20th
birthday on the last date for the
receipt of applications, No person
may file an application who has
passed his 35th birthday on the
first date for the receipt of appli-
cations, This position requires ex
traordinary physical effort, This
requirement does not apply to dis-
abled or non-disabled veterans,

In addition, all other persons
who were engaged in military
duty, as defined In Section 243 of
the Milltary Law, subsequent to
July 1, 1940 and in time of war,
may deduct the length of time
they spent in such military duty
from thelr actual age in determin-
ing thelr eligibility,

The requirements are expected
to be the same this time.

FEDERAL RULES ON

JACKSON, Miss,, Aug, 19-08,
Civil Service Commissioner Chris-

relations in the Federal govern-

instead there is a hodge-podge.

“Frankly,” he declared “I found
no overall, clear-cut Federal pol-
icy. Rather, what we seem to have
in the Government is a hodge-
podge of individual agency state-

these individual statements, which

saw puzzle, are in the aggregate
adequate or consistent enough for
an organization as large as the
executive branch of Government.

urged legislation as a solution,
With this I do not agree, Because
of the diversity of Government
activities, and because of the
peculiar differences between em-
Ployee-management relations in
the Government and labor rela-
tions In industry, I do not feel
that legislation is the answer,
Passing a law is not a cure-all,
After all, this ts a cooperative
enterprise—or should be—between
management and employees in the
Government, and the problems It
presents are human relations pro-
blems and should be handled as
such.

“In my opinion the proper way
to fill this present gap ts for th
executive branch to formulate
broad policy guidelines, thus pro-
viding the framework within
which individual agencles could
develop their own statements on
employee-management relations,
In other words, this matter should
bo handled as a function of good,
fully-developed personnel manage-
ment.”

In both promotion and entrance

Furture and present employees

in presenting themselves in the
proper physical condition and this
is particularly true in regards to

VET COUNSELLING
SERVICE STEPPED UP

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19—The
U. 8. Veterans Counseling Service
ion is being realigned to provide
ateater support for Federal re~
cruitment efforts and to help
overcome some of the Govern-
ment's civilian manpower short-
ages, the Commission announced.

Under the realignment Bruce
Stubblefield, associated with the
Civil Service Commission's vet-
erans counseling and liaison staff
since 1944, will become a special
assistant to the Commission's ex-
ecutive director, John W. Macy,

tive director,

Increments on Anniversay
Of Appointment Date

Budget Director Abraham D.
Beame has announced that mem-
bers of the uniformed forces of

receive increments on the anni-
versaries of their appointment.
The new policy takes effect on
October 1

At present, employees are re-
quired to walt until the January
1 or July 1 following the anniver-
sary date.

Question, Please

I RECENTLY WAS called for
the medical examination for in-
vestigator. It has been more than
six months since the examination
was given. Will appointments be
made soon? What are eligibles’
chances for appointment? J.

‘The lint has not yet been estab-
lished, For the February 9 exam-
ination, 716 were notified to ap-
pear, 683 appeared, 436 passed,
and 147 falled. Failure notices

were mailed out on July 17, The!

list will be established soon and
certifications made to various City
Departments. If you have not re-
ceived a failure notice, your name
will be on the livt, However, since
the medical examinations were
given as recently as July 30, the
Civil Service Commission has not
had much time to prepare the
lst. The appointment prospects
for an Investigation lst—dis-
tinguished from social investigator
—are fair, But expanding sales tax
investigation promises
prospects,

It was heartening to read in
The Leader that the New York
City Civil Service Commission has
certified names of eligibles for
appointment from the present

to be issued soon, will kill the pres-
ent one, As thero was so much
certification of men only, the

only remaining eligibles, of whom
T am one, were greatly dissatis-
fled. However, since the Commis-

Westchester Has Answer

ECRUITMENT is the bane of public service today and

government on all levels has devoted many words to
the causes of inability to attract personnel to publie
employment.

These words are, in the main, wasted because none

of the phaseology contains the two words which would
solve the majority of recruitment difficulties—“adequate
salaries,”

During the ordinary year, this newspaper is the re
cipient of notice after notice from government agencies
on various levels offering careers in public service. Often
these notices are accompanied by an appeal for this news-
paper to lend a hand in helping the particular agency ac-
quire sorely needed help.

To these many levels of government service we wish
to draw attention to Westchester County, which has
solved its personnel problem in a direct and simple way.

Recently, the County's Board of Supervisors voted
nearly a million dollars in raises for its employees, Last
year, the same board voted three-quarters of that amount
in raises. Board approval of both was unanimous and not
even argued,

Said County officials: “It is the only means by which
the County can compete with private industry for per-
sonnel. Jt is the only means by which we can hold the
valued personnel we now have.”

It is as simple as that Mr. Budget Director, Mr. Ex~
ecutive Officer and Mr. Bureau Head.

The labor supply in America is constantly getting
tighter, There is only one way to get help. Pay for it!

week ts a highly successful busi~-
ness man who works hardest at a
Job that doesn't pay him so much
as a dojiar a year,

He is a man who says he “never

Time Often Decisive Of
Social Security Benefits

When an insured worker dies,
® lump-sum death payment may
be paid under Social Security, be-
tween $90 and $255, Application
oust be filed no later than the
second anniversary of the wage-
@arner's death,

Survivor benefits on a deceased
wage earner's account may be
paid to his dependent parent or
parents, A necessary part of the
parent's eligibility is proof of sup-
port, The time allowed for the

fite to a dependent husband.

A period of disability may be-

ein retroactively as for back as
1041, After June 30, 1958, the
retrocative period may be one

year. Faiure to report disability
before that date could result not
nly in « loss of disability insur-
ance benefits, but insured status
ay well

Applications for benefite, whe-
Wher original or subsequent, in

ny cases, cover retroactive per-
Ba on which benefits may be

paid. Later filing could mean a

plan to retire at that time. I ex-
pect to be receiving a pension of

Do I have to come back here to
file my application for benefits?

—F JIB.

No. You may file your spplica-
Mon for benefits in Florida,

1 HAVE WORKED in employ-
ment covered by Social Security
for about eight years, Several
months ago I had an accident
which prevents me from working
at my old job, However, I have
another job doing easter work,
Am I eligible for disability bene~
fite under Social Security law?

—PL,

You are eligible for dinability

benefits only if you are not able

Little-Known Facts About Social Security

IF HUSBAND and wife are both working in Jobs covered by
Social Security, each may retire on # separate pension, when qualified,
In other words, there would be two full pensions instead of one.

There {s 4 prevalent notion that it ts impossible for both to
draw pensions on their own accounts,

if the woman earns an average salary that ts at or over $4,200,
the separate retirements, each under {ts own individual coverage,
may double the pension payable to one worker,

The maximum benefit is now about $1,300 a year, so the retire-
ment on the separate-card basis would yield about $50 a week totel,
But if her average pay is low compared to her husbands, even
though she may have a suffielent number of quarters of coverage,
she may receive higher benefit under her husband's card,

The wife's retirement on her husband's card, however, would
hot be possible unless he retires unicr Social Security, Thus, al-
though the minimum retirement age for men {s 65, and for women
62, she could not collect a wits's benefit at 62 If he was not retired,
But if he is retired, she ri€edn’t wait until she’s 65, to benefit under
his card. The additicu:al pension she ts entitled to under his card
would be less than one-half of his, and stays at the reduced value
even after she reaches 65. But on her own card she could retive at 62
even if her husband is still working, though at the reduced benefit,

In addition, the wife who has a card of her own has disability
yetlvemont coverage, otherwise not applicable to her.

Tt Is assumed there are no children, and no parents who could
be prospective beneficiaries, either. If there are such dependents,
then they, too, are better protected under the two-card system, be-
cause there is no telling what the salaries of husband or wife will
be in the future, and by having coverage assured from two cards,
instead of one, there arises the possibility of Jarger benefits, Also,
since earnings of a husband who's retired may reduce or suspend
his pension, a wife retired on her own card is not subject to that
precarious haaard.

The assumption must not be made that if a husband and wife
are in covered employment, or self-employed, that they have a choice
to go on with Social Security or drop tt, While at present public
employees of New York State and its communities have the privilege
of accepting or rejecting Social Security for themselves personally,
nobody belng forced into it, in private industry Social Security cov-
erage Is obligatory for those in covered employment, and for those
hired by the State or its communities in the future, who fall with-
in the groups for which Social Security was authorized by jaw and
voted by employees, it will be obligatory, too.

Another misconception is that persons who are already retired
under Social Security do not have to make any further Social Secur-
ity payments because of any Job held during retirement, even under
covered employment, or self-employment on earnings of at least
$400 a year, Anybody in covered employment has to pay a Social
Security tax.

A possible benefit from the supplementary payments is that on
“second retirement,” the pension may be refigured, and could be
larger,

‘The idea of eslablishing Social Scourity was to provide for retire-
ment and survivor benefits for the medium and jower-paid, There-
fore no tax was imposed on any part of salary in excess of an
enacted amount. From 1961 to 1954 the figure was $3,600; after
1954 it is $4,200. The present tax rate ts 214 percent. Therefore the
maximum tax on any individual or employer, for any one employee,
since both pay equally, Is $94.50 @ year at present rates. The rates
are scheduled to rise, but there have been instances of Congress
postponing a previously voted Increase, There ts less likelihood of
postponement now than then, because of the demands for larger
benefits and earlier retirement age.

How does the amount one pays compare with the benefite one
may possibly get?

The complete answer would require a full discussion of Social
Security benefits, But at least it ts clear that the older persons can
benefit most hetause the older ones are nearer 65,

‘The required number of quarters depends on age, The rule for
men is summarized in a table, A man with covermge in 1956 and
reaching 65 in the second quarter of 1958 could retire then after hav=
ing paid in only $2396.25.

If his average salary was $4,200 or more, he gets $1,300
pension, and his benefit would have an actuarial value of more than
$20,000, And in the case of survivor benefits after a member with
sufficient number of quartera has died, leaving widow and minor
children, the actuarial benefit could rise to $39,000, In that case
he would be younger than the other man taken as an example, and
would have paid more, but still the benefit compares as a windfall
to a drop of water,

One frequent question Is, What do I have to do to receive Soolal
Security benefits? Qualify for them. Apply for them. No application,
no benefit

Schechter Says City

By THOMAS D. MANN
Chairman Joseph Schechter of the
New York City Civil Service Com-
mission at his regular press con-
ference said that 155 patrolmen
are slated to take the special ex-
amination for sergeant (P.D,), As
yet, no date has been set, The ex-
amination is designed to provide
an opportunity for promotion for
the men who were unable to tuke
the original test because of ill-
ness, or other legally excusable
causes,

Only those qualified for the
original examination, and who
showed cause of previous Inability

to appear, are qualified. Candi-
dates had 60 days from January 5,
the date of the original test, to
file for the special one. Successful
candidates will have thelr names
inserted in the sergeant list in the
order of relative standing.

Fire Captain Appeals

Chairman Schechter has acted
on 22 of the 59 appeals of candi-
dates in the test for promotion to
captain (FD). One protest was
successful, and 21 were denied.
Action on the 37 other appeals
will be taken soon, he promised.
Transit Patrolman Requirements

Although the requirements for
the transit patrolman test have
not been officially adopted, chair=
man Schechter believes that a
high school diploma or an equiy-

Mency certificate will be required.
He mentioned the
of requiring a diploma from one
group of policemen and not the
other,

“The physical part of the tran-
sit patrolman examination is
competitive,” he said. "The duties
of transit patrolman have been
shown by Job evaluation to be
More strenuous than thuse of the
police patrolman. The transit pa~
trolman Is constantly going from
level to level in the various
tions, and frequently must pursue

culprits along the tracks close to

the third rail.”

‘The age limit would be set at 31

years, with concessions for veter- |
ans.

‘There are numerous instances of persons being entitled to bone-
fit6 but who don't get them, because they didn’t apply for them, and
who refrain because they do not know that they ave entitled to them.

Even latecomers can get benefits,

although they will lose al} benefits

for any period more than twelve months back.
A divorced woman, with a child or children under 18, by her
former husband, is entitled to receive widow's pension, and monthly

allowances for the child or children, even if her former

husband

remarried, and had children by his new wife. Also, the second wife,
now also a widow, would be entitled to benefits. This is an instance

of double benefits, with payments

in full to each widow, and to the

children. But a divorced woman does not recelve death benefits when
she reaches retirement age, on the basis of her living ex-husband’s

Social Security account

He must die, Nor is she entitled to bene-

fits if he does die, if she has remarried, although the dependent
children she bore the décedent are entitled to monihly allotments

until they reach age 18.

There are two types of coverage. One {s knOwn as fully insured,
required. before any one may obtain pension benofits,

You are fully insured if, when you either die or reach 65, you
have at least one quarter of coverage for each two calendar quarters

since December 31.

1950. The minimum requirement Is six quarters,

You are fully insured for life, without having to reach 65 or die, if
you have 40 quarters of coverage (10 years in the Social Security

System).

For survivorship benefits to apply, the fully insured status

is not required. All that is necessary is to be currently insured,
attained by having six quarters of coverage during the three years

preceding death.

Fully insured status ls required for widows’ benefits at age 62 and
for parents’ and widowers’ benefits.

Social Security credits are cumulative. Any credits obtained are
retained, desplie gaps in employment, or employment in non-covered
jobs. No break makes any difference, Also, the credits follow you
wherever you go from one job to another in covered employment.

am now on compensation. I don't
know when or if I can return to
work. Would I have to put more
time in than the retroactive per-
fod to get Social Security bene-
fits? —s.c.

You would have to be reemploy-
ed by the State to obtain Social
Security coverage. At your age it
would be highly advisable to re-
turn, but your physical condition
may make that diffiguit, A mini-
mum of six quarters of coverage
would be required for Social Se-

curity pension, with age 65 the
minimum. You could benefit
greatly

1 AM OVER 65 and receiving a
monthly old age insurance bene-
fit. T am working part-time and
jam earning $800 a year, I have
been told that Soctal Security
taxes should continue to be deduct-
ed from my wages. Is this correct?

—PL,

Yes, Social Security taxes must
be deducted from wages up to $4,-
200 a year of all employees who
work in employment covered by
Social Security regardless of their
age or even If benefits are being
paid to them.

I WORKED under Social Se-
curity for about a year jn 1937.
After that I began working for
New York City and haye not used
my Social Security number since
then. I do not remember the
number, Should I apply for a new
number? PY.

No. You should apply for a
duplicate Soctal Security card at
your nearest Sooial Security office,
Indicate on the upplication that
you previously had « card, The
central office in Baltimore will
locate your original number from
the identifying information on the
application and a new card with

have what one could not call
hobby but what Mr. Silver termed
a “pet project,"

He hopes more and more to
turn over the use of the many
schools of the city for recreation
purposes during the time the
buildings are not in actual use for
teaching.

But to talk of one facet of Mr.
Silver's many interests would be
comparable to describing a build~
ing by only telling about its facade.

Long Civic Career

The tenacity and devotion of
Charles Silver have probably giv-
en more impetus to school build-
ing and school betterment than
any preceding president in the
New York public schools. He
works full-time in this Job with
greater intensity than most men
put into a high-salaried executive
post.

While still Vice-President of the
American Woolen Company, Mr.
Silver was at various times, call-
ed to serve as president of the
‘Clty Council of New York and as
interim mayor with more than
© fair certainty of re-election He.
declined each time for personal
reasons, but accepted readily
when appointed to the non-re-
munerative Board of Education
in 1952, He has been elected pres-
ident four times. He administers

the nearly half-billion dollar an-
nual budget of the City's schools
with a businessman's acumen, He
has already furthered his objective
of making the schools of New York
“not only the biggest anywhere,
but unquestionably the best,”
An Alger Story

Here is a figure woven from
the tradition of the great Amer-
fean legend of self-made success
—brought up in the streets of
the lower East Side, self-taught
for the most part, sincerely be-
Meving that America is the land
of opportunity—and proving it
not only for himself but for the
many he has helped on the way.

Charles Silver's sphere of in-
terest is the whole spinning globe
and all the people on it, This man
without a moment to spare, ap-
pears to have time for every cause
that calls on hin for help, His
moments of relaxation are few.
His walks and luncheons are usu-
ally interrupted; his telephone is
rarely ailent

For more than thirty years, he
has been a member of the Board
of Trustees of Beth Israel Hospi-
tal. This is his eleventh year as
President, The Charles H. Silver
Clinic, named In his honor, rend-
ers over a million dollars of an-
nual free care and treatment to
the ill and needy of New York.
It has become a model for hospi-
tals all over the world.

Mr. Silver is Vice-President of
the Alfred E, Smith Memorial

Foundation, s major source of
support for St, Vincent's Hospital,
He is w member of the Board of
Overseers of the Jewish ‘heologic~
al Seminary, Vice-President of
the Federation of Jewish Philan-
thropies, President of Congrega~
tion B'nai Jeshurun, one of the
nation's oldest, Vice-President of
the Grand Street Boys' Associa~
tion and President of the Amun-
Israeli Housing Corporation,

He {s also x member of the
Board of Higher Education and
a Trustee of the Urban League.
He has served as Chairman of
drives for the Greater New York
Pund, the United Jewish Appeal,
The Salvation Army and the
American Fund frr Israel Institu-
tions.

A Man of High Honors

Mr. Silver rece'ved the Times
Square Club citation of The New
York Times for outstanding con-
tributions to American education,
and was recently named to the
Board of Directors of Loews, In-~
corporated. He holds an honorary
degree of Doctor of Laws from
Fordham University, and of
Doctor of Humane Letters from
Yeshiva University.

Cardinal Spellman's Tribute

His Eminence Francis Cardinal
Spellman said this of Mr, Silver:

“Charles Silver, proud of his
Jewish btood, proud of his Amer-
jean citizenship, ts also all things
to all men in his charity, And I
wish to add my tribute to those

wiven by others in praise and
gratitude of this truly great Amer-
fean citizen, and I speak only of
@reatness In one phase, and that
is the greatness of his charity.”

‘On another occasion, the dedica-
tion dinner of Yeshiva University
at which Mr, Silver presided, the
late Vice President Alben Barkley,
guest of honor, sald this of him:
“I appreciate his friendship, as
you do, and cs an American I
appreciate the great contributions
he has made to the cause of lib-
erty, of Justice and education, and
a better understanding among all
the people who make up this great
nation and thir great city.

"If I should designate a man
in this company or in this city
who has been able not only to
make a living and make an ample
one, but also to make a life by his
contributions to making others
able to make 9 life as well as
® living, it would be Mr. Silver.”

Bi-Partisan Admiration

Figures in the political world
are bi-partisan when it comes to
My. Silver,

On the walls of his office he
can be seen in photographs with
President Eisenhower as well as
the ate and popular “Veep,” Al- |
ben Barkley, and with the noted

elder statesman, Bernard Baruch,
Pormer U. 8, Secretary of Lab-
or Maurice Tobin once declared
“New York is richer because of
the fact that he (Mr, Silver) is «
¢ltizen of this community.”
Although flooded by honors
from many high sources, few have
touched Mr. Silver as much an
that rendered by his own Con-
wvegation, which this year named
him “Father of the Year” at &
Father's Day Sabbath, The father
of three children and a grand-
father six times over, Mr. Silver's
devotion to family life has been
carried to its fullest extent In his
concern for the children of this
city.

“I want them to have the best
in education and at the same time
I want to make them happy,” said
Mr., Silver,

Mr. Silver ts obviously working
fiercely to accomplish both of
these goals.

Lefkowitz Says Villages
Can Pay Health Plan Cost

ALBANY, “Aug. 19 — Attorney
General Louis J. Lefkowita has
Tuled that vilinges may assume the
entire cost of hospitalization,
medical and surgical insurance
for village officers and employees.

‘The ruling wis made in an In-
formal opinion sent M. Ambrose
McCabe, village attorney for West
Haverstraw, N, ¥,

Mr, Lefkowlte quoted from sub-
division 21 of section 89 of the
Village Law, adding:

“In my opinion the above-quot-

ed language concerning the per-
centage of cost that may be as-
sumed by a village board auth-
orizes it to asvume the entire cost
of the hospitalization, medical and
surgical insurance,”

‘The subdivision referred to by
the attorney general authorizes a
village board to pay a sum equal
to the total amount of the con-
tributions of the individual officers
or employees who have subserib-
ed to the plan of insurance “or
any percentage of the total cost
including the whole thereof.”

advice for state employees plan-

lined in “Strictly Personnel,” house
organ for the State Civil Service
Department,

So things will
while you're away;

(1) Plan to complete as many
chores as you can before you leave
and arrange to have one of our
co-workers handle the others later.

(2) A week before you go,
elean out your files, Arrange and
Jabel all folders so even the boss
ean find anything at a glance,

(3) Make up a special file right
on your desk for all projects that
are currently your special prob-
lems. In the folders put Msts of
names, addresses, and telephone
numbers of all people you've con~
tacted for help on each project.

(4) On the final Priday, pack
up the old sweater you brought in
the day it w: ‘slightly cool” and
the six persona! letters stuffed
under the hankies in your tissue
box, and any other items you'd
rather someone else didn't dis-
cover while you're away,
