Looking Inside

By H. J. BERNARD

CHECK-UP of employees to determine whether they meet loyalty
and national security standards has been marked by enough inconsist-
@ncy fo arouse the American Assembly, a conservative enough group
activity financed by the Ford Foundation, The Assembly asks that a
study be made of present methods, which admittedly can subject an
innocent employee to risk of stigma, A code would be devised that
would not deny the government the protection it deserves, nor the
employee his rightful safeguards.

‘How terrible it is to be unjustly accused, and to have fellow-
Workers and neighbors Jook on one askance, only the victim of such
mn injustice can know, In the climate of suspicion of public em-
ployees that now rules, the need for stiffer precautions for the pro-
tection of employees becomes all the more necessary. It was nice of
the Axsembly, not only to include its own suggestion about curing
the difficulty, but to make this plea its main one,

Besides a code of procedures, there should also be a declaration
of enforcement policy, Unjust penalties flow from enforcement poll-
cles overburdened with suspicion. Pair and equitable results can be
obtained from a sensible policy applied even to a stiff code, The
necessity of being Just in enforcement Is at least equal in importance
to the formulation of a code that provides necessary safeguards,

Inquiry should be distinguished from attack.

‘The disturbing results do not move only the American Assembly.
‘The courts have had their attention drawn to the subject, They have
been asked to construe provisions of boards of regents and other
bodies that try to impose oaths beyond those required by a State
constitution, while on the other hand employees may try to limit

Where agencies try to substitute their will for that of the Leg-
islature, or the voters, they fail;
the Federal constitutional oath may be required by the Legislature,
they fuil.

The legal questions usually have come up in other connections
many times before. There is no dearth of precedent. A proper, sensible
code would not seek in any way to undermine but rather to perpetuate
the decisions of the courts which, have been guided by fairness and
subject to reasonable and legal justice, while holding employees
subject to inquiry.

Democrats and Republicans Talk on Civil Service

Roosevelt: Overtime Pay,
40-Hour Week, ‘Adequate’
Wages, Grievance Plan

Below are excerpts from the ad-
dress of Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Jr., at the 44th annual meeting of
the Civil Service Employees As-
sociation. Mr. Roosevelt spoke at
Chancellor's Hall on Wednesday
evening, October 13,

There is a major difference be-
tween the mega so
Republicians on civil service,

The Republicans are good with
words — deceplive and double-
meaning words that you can’t
figure out five minutes after you've
heard them.

We Democrats say

Accept CSEA Planks

Tread in the Civil Service Lead-
er the seven planks which this
Association has urged on political
parties, f think it only fair that
I should tell you the Democratic
position on those planks.

You've asked these things:

First, enough funds to assure
adequate and equitable pay to

blic employees.

Pigecond, creation of modern In~
bor relations machinery.

‘Third, strengthening of the re~
tirement system,

Pourth, more positions placed
fn the competitive class, so that
the politicians can’t use the pub-
Me service as a dumping grounds
for hacks and clubhouse loafers.

Fifth, unemployment insurance)
coverage for all public employees,
Jocal as well ay State.

Sixth, comprehensive workmen's:
ion Mf you get hurt on

what we

Seventh, expansion of educa-
tlonal opportunities for civil ser-
vants,

Well, that’s your program, Know
what I think? I think you've been
moderate. You're acting with ma-
turity and understanding. There
isn't a single plank in your pro-
gram that we Democrats cannot

accept,

We'll work to get those planks
enacted

Now that's plain enough, isn’t
it? You've got it on the record —
and that's where we Democrats
want it,

‘Now Jet me get down to details,

Salary

Are you happy with the kind
of pay raise you got this year —
after geiting no pay Increases last
year?

A new classification and pay
plan went into effect on April 1.
Governor Dewey withheld for six)
Months sending along your pay
raise. Then, Just before election
time, you get a Jump sum check
for the whole pix months, aut
looks to me like @ crude bid for

votes. But I've been around the
State, and I've talked to State
workers. I know that some got

raises of $1.50 a week. Big deal!)
Some got $7 a year, One employee
showed me her pay check con-
taining @ stx-months’ pay ratse—
27 cents!

Will somebody tell me what
kind of a plan it is that goes un-|
der the high-sounding name of
“reclassification” and gives State
employees peanuts? Maybe we
should call (t the peanut plan?

Just what did the Dewey ad-

r ministration mean by reclassifi-
cation? Of course, the answer Is,
that the State administration
didn’t want a now system at all,
and they backed into this one
with reluctance.

The Democratic candidate for
-Governor, Averell Harriman, has
said and I repeat —

“We believe in the principle of
equal pay for equal work, as writ-
ten into the State constitution
(under a Democratic governor, by
the way), Sufficient money must
be appropriated to aasure adequate

and equitable pay for all State
employees,”

There it is
that clearly? Not ot
Fringe Benefits

Now let me talk about fringe
benefits. I know you're all inter-

ested in them.
These so-called benefita hi

Record of Performance

Most of you are familiar with

Reclassification

The very latest accomplishment
is the reclassification of salaries
which resulted in increases total-

months of this year. This is a
step in the right direction but I
do not claim that it is complete.

Improvements Made

Some of the improvements in
State Civil Service are:

An increase in minimum start-
ing. salnries from a ridiculous
$900-n-year in 1942 to $2,320 in
1954. The average salary paid
State employees in 1942 was less
than $1,800 and in 1954 was ap-
proximately $3,900,

more than 40 years is nearing
completion. The rights of State

problem of keeping our govern-

fairly.

Correction Chapters Sift
Ways to Have Pensions

Come Closer

ALBANY, Oct. 18 — Deb
of Correction Department chap-
ters of the Civil Service Employe-
es Association, meeting at the
DeWitt Clinton Hotel, discussed
mostly retirement goals, The
primary goal is a 25-year retire-
ment plan for prison guards, to
assure half pay after that service
period, the State to provide the
ae pension and also, to
up the cost difference, an
additional pension.

Better survivor benefits were
other objectives that found favor.
The enlargement of retirement
choices, to include receipt of the
State paid pension, and the right
to withdrawal of one’s annuity
account lump sum, with inter-
est, instead of annual annuity,
wan debated.

Talk by Bernard

H. J. Bernard, executive editor
of The LEADER, explained the
operation of the present annuity
aystem, which he said was fairly
standard in public employee re-
tirement systems.

Assuming one retires at age 63,
he suid, with a life expectancy as
found in official tables, say of age
"3, if w pensioner dies earlier, he
might feel he or his beneficiaries
have not received full benefit, But
suppose the pensioner lives to age
83, or 10 years beyond life ex-
pectancy, Where, he asked,
would the money come from to
assure the full annual retirement
allowance until death, if the an-

Committee Asks Wider

Education in

ALBANY, Oct, 18—The educa-
tion committee of the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Association hatled
the experimental efforts made by
the Association in pilot projects
in chapters for teaching leader-
ship to officers,

The committee recommended:

"1, Continuation of the Pilot
Education Project in the chapters,

“2. Action in connection with an
annual Civil Service Institute, or
some similar project that will en-
hance the prestige of civil service
and civil service workers.

“3, Concerted action in all Con-
ferences and chapters to encour-
age and develop leadership in be-
half of civil service everywhere.”

Cost Considered

‘The committee also said:

“Education is a lengthy pro-
cess, Perhaps we should be think-
ing in terms of five or even 10-
year goals, Any plan we may de-
vise, any scheme we may evolve,
must be subject to trial and error,
modification or adjustment, The

the individual; the answer, too,
must rest with him. Por that rea-
son, we must ask each chapter,
each conference, to reassay its
own committee structure. Does
each of your unit groups have a
committee on education, or at
Jeast a chairman? If not, appoint
See to it that he or she

ideas, problems, needs, Only in
this way can we hope to develop
an educational plan truly repre-
sentative of our entire group of
over 60,000 members.

“As an Association we need also
to ask ourselves, how do we plan
te finance our educational plans?
Our headquarters staff, notably
Phil Kerker and Bill McDonough,
have worked long and arduously.
But if we hope to cover the work
to be done, bring to our member-
ship outstanding speakers, stimu-
lating workshops, we will need to
be in a position to pay for such
services, We ask that you con-
sider how our CSEA educational
Program may best be done; that
you study what other groups are
doing; and finally that you con-~
sider what you, yourselves, want

tion committee will be published

THE ATTACK ON THE PUBLIC
EMPLOYEE—AND THE DEFENSE

A group of distinguished citizens, meeting as the
alk annual American Assembly, has considered some of
the key problems of civil service, In 1 pddition to writing up
that meeting as news, the Civil § ery ice LEADER reprints
below an editorial about it that appeared in the New
York Times for October 12. While the material deals

rimarily with Federal employees, the editorial is of deep
portance to every public employee and administrator,

whether he works in Albany, New York City, Sullivan
County or the Village of Unadilla Forks,

Out of a total of nearly two and a half million federal civil service
employees the Eisenhower Administration has “separated” 1,743 with
"information in their files indicating, in varying degrees, subversive
Bssociations or membership in subversive organizations.” And 5,183
ethers were led to resign or were dismissed for various other reasons
easting doubt on their integrity, This information, released yesterday
as the result of charges and counter-charges in the current political
campaign, followed a thoughtful and stimulating report on the civil
service made public on Sunday by the distinguished group of private
eitizens who have been meeting at Arden House at the sixth annual
"American Assembly.”

bh Attracting the Best

There can be no doubt that it is highly important for the Gov-
ernment to weed subversives and other dangerous or inferior persons
out of the civil service—and to keep them out, But it is just as im-
portant—and perhaps more important—to aftract men and women
ef character and ability into all grades of the public service. It is to
this latter nim that the American Assembly addressed itself. ‘The
assembly's emphasis was rightly on the constructive side of the ques-
tion. The Government requires, all the time or from time to time,
the best talents of the nation. How ts It to get them?

It cannot get them if the civil service is kept continually in a
state of apprehension, if It is belittled by public opinion, if its mem~
bers are hounded, suspected and investigated, if the emphasis Is upon
Mediocrity and conformity, if no clear line is drawn between the
essential political function of policy-making and the essential ad-
ministrative function of carrying out policy. It cannot get them If it
4s not willing to pay a reasonable wage. It Is of no use to argue that
the civil servant should be willing to work for less than he could
earn in private employment, though he often does just this. The low
wage is in effect an invidious and unfair form of taxation. In these
latter days it is not even offset by job security or pension rights, for
im these respects the federal employee is not much better off than
the worker in private industry,

The American Assembly recommends making the civil service far
more flexible than it is today. It would limit veterans’ preference
when the effect is to reduce efficiency; it would take the loyalty-
security program “out of partisan politics’; it would set up a com~-
mission of “outstanding citizens” to study this whole matter and try
te find “more precise criteria"; it would make It possible for qualified
Persons to serve temporarily at high civil service levels and also for
them to move “Juterally” among the agencies and departments; it
would protect civil service “employees from being nagged by Congres-
sions) committees; it would try to eliminate patronage from those
f@reas in which it still exists; it would shape the “federal career system
e..» to the pattern of American customs and institutions.”

! Understanding the Worker

| Finally, the assembly would try to educate the American public
fe understand what the civil service worker ts and does. There must
be, the assembly believes, “a fundamental change in the attitudes
foward public employees on the part of the American citizenry and
their leaders.” We just can't afford “the luxury of uninformed and
Mnreasoning depreciation of public employees,” We must respect those
who do the nation’s chores, and they must be worthy of our respect,
‘The two things go together, The cheap sneer at those who subsist at
the taxpayer's expense is out of date: can any sane taxpayer contend
that most of the work done is not essential to the national welfare?
would miss if it were not done, just as he would miss the work
@f those who provide his electricity, his transportation, his food and
bhls clothing, Federal Government in this country is not a luxury, it
fe a nocessity of life. We may decentralize it, but not completely,
f@ may reduce its functions, but not ver¥ much. We should raise
Bs standards and call to its permanent or temporary service the
Dest brains and hearts we have.

| ‘Ths i not merely @ matter of administrative reform, It ts not

Salary

What follows is a report of
Committee of the Civil Ser:
vice ployees Association, deli
ered at the annual meeting in

Albany.

ALBANY, Oct, 18 — The activi-
ties of the salary committee of the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion during the past year have
been concerned with the develop-
ment of the new salary schedule
and the allocations which have

been put into effect. The new
salary plan is the culmination of
ten years of salary adjustments
made necessary by the dynamic
economic conditions resulting from
World War II and its attendant
inflationary pressures,

Tat’s go back two years and see
where we stood as we started our
1953 salary campaign, We had won
raises in 1943, ‘45 and ‘46 which
were frozen in by the adoption of
the new 50 grade schedule in 1947.
We won a 15 per cent raise in
1948 which was frozen in_ 1950,
We received 12 per cant in ‘51 and
6 per cent In 1952 but these had
not been frozen in. Although our

r cent raise, our case was not

ed on an increase in the coxt-
of-living, Since 1948, the cost-of-
living had increased only 14 per
cent while our salaries were in-
creased nearly 18 per cent, Our
arguments were based on com-
parisons with wages In private in-
dustry. Our 1953 campaign was
not successful although we spent
more money on newspaper adver-
tising and a mass meeting of the)
delegates than we ever did before |

Pay Inequities Cited

‘The Association decision to hold
the mass meeting and spend
money for newspaper advertising
came after the Governor's Com-
mittee, headed by Budget Director)
T. Norman Hurd, had refused to|
negotiate a pay raise for 1953, The
Director of the Budget stated that
the administration would not con-
sider a further over-all pay raise
for State employees until inequi-
ties in the current pay scales had
been eliminated, He stated that
some positions needed substantial
raises while others needed none—
and were, in fact, already over-
paid. One factor that had pro-
duced inequities In State pay
seales was the varying percentage
Increases granted during the 10
past years, He reasoned, for in-|
stance, that in 1046, a 30 per cent
raise was granted to lower paid
employees and only 14 per cent to
salaries over $4,000, thus creating
an inequity. Similar disparities
were introduced by the 148 and
1951 raises, And other factors af-
fected wares of employees both
in and out of State service.
Changes in Inbor markets and
duties of positions had occurred
which made many salaries out of
line, The Director of the Budget
insisted that those salaries which
were most underpaid by present
day standards must be raised up
to the level of the others before
any more general raises were
granted. He also pointed out that
many State employees were re-
ceiving salaries well in excess of
the maximum for titles they held
and that general pay raises in-
creased these salaries at the ex-
pense of others. In any event, he
made it clear that a revision of
existing classifications and allo-
cations must be made before, or as
& part of, the next increase in
State salaries.

CSEA Urges Salary Study

On June 25, 1953, the Assovin-
tion requested the Governor to
immediately start the surveys and
studies which would provide the
necessary basis to eliminate the
inequities and inadequacies of the
old pay scales and which would
permit the merging of the past
two emergency raises into bane
joey ‘The Governor ordered that

¢ studies be started at once by
the State Civil Service Depart-
ment, He also appointed an ad-
visory committee on which the
Association was not represented.

The job assigned to the Civil
Service Department consisted
essentially of three separate tasks:

1, A survey of wages paid by
Private industry and other agen-
cles for jobs similar to those in
State service.

2, The development of a new
salary schedule with fewer grades.

3. The allocation of all titles in
State service to the new salary
achedule on the basis of equitable
internal relationships and parity
with outalde pay scales.

‘The first two of these tasks were

sufficiently well advanced by De-

the; cember to enable the administra-
tion to cal) us into conference to
discuss them. We were presented
with a 200-page confidential re-~
port summarizing the findings of| amounts to more than a 7 per
their salary survey of eee on cent average raise,
dustry. In general, we agreed that ‘Selective Raises’
the survey had been conducted rs Being human, many who re«
an equitable manner. The results,|celve small increases feel worse
because some of their fellow em~-
loyees receive larger increases,
it was Inevitable that this would
happen. The whole plan was based
on selective raises for those titles
that were most underpaid. It is not
& popular type of raise but such
an adjustment had become in=
creasingly necessary to correct in=
equities that had crept into the
structure.
Allocations Not Final

However, we do not have to ac~
cept all of these allocations as
final, No one claims that no mis-
takes have been made, Further, in
many fields, individual inequities
will be corrected by reclassifica~
tion. We can also expect that
whole groups will be raised as the
result of the granting of appeals

A detalled analysis by the Axso-
elation indicates that the increase

, plus the sixth increment,

available data published by the
Federal and State governments,
the Federal Reserve Board and
other agencies, Their survey find-
ings indicated that most State
were underpaid — some more

han others, In many cases, where
the results were unfav le to a
particular title, we were able to
present evidence to refute or
modify their findings, In general,
the survey findings were favorable
to our case and, Inasmuch as it
was agreed that proper internal
pay relationships should be main-
tained, we accepted it as a satis~
factory Job within certain limits.

Sixth Increment

However, the proposed new 38.

first schedule shown to us that
about half of the State's em-
loyees would receive very Wttle
increase in pay. The other hall
would receive about a 5 per cent
increase because of allocations to
higher grades. We flatly rejected
this first proposal. After several
weeks of conferences, we were able
to get a more liberal pay scale.
This was not much nor enough,
but it was the best we could do
for those titles that were not to
be upgraded — except that we
were able to get an additional 5
per cent raise for all employees
who had been in their present
jobs for 10 years or more (S years
at their maximum), This was a
forward step and represented
partial fulfillment of a long-stand~-
ing objective of the Association. I
refer, of course, to the sixth in-
erement,

that we were able to complete the
negotiations and present a writ-

lJocation was first made. As you
all know, any changes made as the
result of appeals filed before Jan-
uary 1, 1955, will be retroactive to
April, 1954,

Although the Association agreed
to the general proposition that
some titles needed larger raises
than others, {t has not committed
itself to agresment on any specific
titles,

The Association is free to help
any group seck a higher alloca~
tion and wants to be as helpful as

ible. Salary appeal kits have

m distributed to all chapters
and interested groups. These kits
contain valuable suggestions for
preparing appeals and anyone
planning to appeal his allocation
should obtain one from his chap-
ter officers or from headquarters
in Albany.

Leaders Offer 10 Ways

To Improve Civil Service

HARRIMAN, N.Y. Oct, 18 —
‘The four-day meeting of the Am-
@rican Assembly, a group of bust-
bess, educational, labor and gov-
@rnment leaders, made 10 recom-
mendations regarding U.S. civil
service. The Assembly was created
by President Eisenhower's efforts
when he was president of Colum-
Bia University, and meets twice
&@ year at Arden House, The Ford
Poundation finances the Assembly.

The recommendations:

1, A study be made, as proposed
by Chairman Philip Young of the
U.S, Civil Service Commission, of
the practicubility of having wage
boards, instead of Congress, net
the pay of U.S. classified and
Portal workers,

2. The Eisenhower administra-

tion to make recommendations re-

garding possible coordination of
Social Security with the U.S, Civil |
Bervice Retirement System, A

study of this subject is being ur-
dertaken by the administration
which expects to recommend to
Congress regarding the retirement
law, in January.

3. Extension of the merit ays
fem to the filling of U.S. over
wean jobs. This project in being
fostered by the Commission |

4. Lenders in all branches of
endeavor do thelr utmost to raise
public esteem of U.S, employees,
as such employees are subject to
attacks so often, and widely
Dublicized, that the high quality
@f service rendered by U.S. em-
Ployees generally is lost to sight;
also recruitment suffers.

White House Personnel Staff

6. A system of personne! inter-
e should be instituted in the
jovernment, This would |

faciiitied by a unified pay plan.
At present there are 30 different
pay plans. |

6. New policies in checking up

on security and loyalty aspects of
hiring and rentention should be
instituted. A government study |
should be made, so that innocent
employees will be protected again-
st stigma, while fully safeguard-
ing the Interests of the govern-
ment, Present methods were found
dangerous, especially in the ac-
cusing climate of the present,

7. Approval given to President
Eisenhower's proposed study of
ntandardizing premium pay for
the inspectional services.

Vet Preference Law

8. Revision of veteran prefer-
ence so that (a) it will Iast only
for # limited period, (b) be useful
jonly once, (c), disability prefer-
| ence to ocoupations for whieh the
leapped are suitable;
Jelimination of special app
rights for veterans

9. Establish In the White House
& personnel administration staff.
The President's personnel liaison
officer is Chairman Young, but
he has no White House staff to
conduct the necessary work.

10. The idea of distinguishing
policy-making and confidential
Jobs from the permanent ones in
Civil service was approved, but
caution should be exercised in
connection with appointments to
these 1,200 positions, and reten-
tions, while administrative profes-
sional positions should continue to
be filled through competitive ex-
amination,

The plea for better esteem for
the U.S, employees and their work
was contained in a formal resolu-
tion. Some of the other propo:
tions were discussed at panels.

Salary Committee Explains
How New State Plan Works

(Continued from Page 9)

most chance of success for next
year is to correct the inequities
and inadequacies that still exist in
the new salary allocations, Pre-
sumably, this could be done by
| Seber a substantial number of

resolution which was recom-
mended by the salary committee
ts Resolution One as passed by all
the delegates to the CSEA meet-
ine.

As most of you are probably
Fware, some economic conditions
are not propitious for a general
salary increase this year, The cost
of living has not gone up during
the past year; there is a consid-
@rable amount of unemployment,
and weekly wages in private in-
dustry are down slightly ay the
result of « shorter average work
week in many industries, al-
though there is a, continued up-
ward movement of wage level.
These conditions, however, should
hot deter uy from seeking an ap-
propriation to complete the in-
stallation of the new salary plan
on an @quitavle basis for all.em-
ployee’, reqardss! of costs . 6)?

Thin hos beer Ja very! Briet) ts
gumé of the principal factors in-
volved in the salary problems of
the last few years, I have said
hothing about the tremendous
amount of work done by the sal-
ary committee and the Associa-
tlon's staf in assembling a great
volume of economic data and pre-
* paring stutistical analyses for pre-

sentation at our salary conference

with the Governor's Committee.

We could not get very far with-

out presenting the facts favorable

to our case. Emotional appeals

have little value and there has
been a minimum of “horse-trad-
ing” tactics at our conferences.

We should be thankful to the
officers of our Association and
the members of the board of di-
rectors who have been wise enough
and responsible enough to base
their decisions on hard facts
rather than to enter an apparent-
ly easy political course of asking
for the moon and basing their de-~
mands on wishful thinking rather
than on realistic Judgment. All of
our raises during the past ten
years have been won by negotia-
tions or conferences with the ex-
seutive branch of our State gov-
rnment the Governor's Office.
On the two ot three occasions
that we tried to go to the Leg-
islature direct and use political
pressure, we failed to get any-
where. One of the most valuable
assets of the Association is the
open door to the conference room
which could, of course, have been
closed to us if we had ceased to
maintain respect for our integ-
tity and sense of responsibility.

In concluding this report I want

Social Welfare Employees
Tell the Commissioner
About Working Conditions

ALBANY, Oct, 18 — The Social
Welfare Department, in response
to employee requests for the ell-
mination of split shifts, invited
the departmental chapters of the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion to submit a plan that would
apply to supervisors, and prom-
ised it would be given serious
consideration. The interest Com-
missioner Raymond W. Houston
has manifested, through his rep-
resentative, stirred the delegates’
meeting to applause.

Willard F. Johnson, acting
Deputy Commissioner, in charge
of departmental personne), ad
dressed Social Welfare delegates at
the annual CSEA meeting,

He said he would see if it were
possible to put two men on each
bus that takes charges from the
Training School for Boys, at
Warwick, to NYC. Sometimes, the
boys get too hard for one man
to handle, the employees said.

Canditians to Improve

Employees mentioned condi
tions they would like to see im
Proved. These include prompt
payment on the Sth and the 20th,
as the checks are reported to ar-
rive at the institutions usually on
the 3rd and the 17th, An old
grievance about long delays was)
cured in the past through an

agreement that they would be de-
livered on the 5th and 20th, but
employees say that sometimes
checks are not distributed until
considerably later.

The arduous tasks of cottage
Parents in running the commis-
sary for their charges were de~
scribed. Some of the cottage
parents cook the food, The time
spent preparing and serving
meals, and cleaning up afterward,
cuts deeply into a day's time,
employees said. Some of the boys
lend a hand at some of this work,

Relaxation of a rule whereby
leaves are rarely granted except
for maternity was asked by the
employces, This strict approach
was sald to apply particularly at
Thomas Indian School. vy ere an
employee suffering from tubercu-
Josis was denied a year’s leave of
absence,

Charles H. Davis, departmental
representative on the Associn=
tion's board of directors, presided,
and introduced Mr. Johnson, who
hardly needed an introduction,
for he is president of the Asso-
ciation’s Social Welfare Depart-
ment chapter in Albany. Mr,
Johnson asked those present to
treat him as a fellow-member of
the Association, in discussing
problems with him,
