Watson Lists Six Needs
For Civil Service Reform

James R. Watson, executive di- ,
rector, National Civil Service |
League, says that the U, 8. Civil
Bervice Commission needs a long-
range recruitment program,

“Competitive examinations can
insure the selection of top-level |
individuals only if top-level people
apply.” he wrote in Good Govern-
ment,

Tn reviewing the 75 years of clv-
fl service in the United States—
the anniversary cotneldes with that
of the league—he listed six major"
reforms as necessary.

He notes that 90 per cent of the
Federa) government's workers are
under civil service, but he cau-
tions that the real measure Ss not
size, nor even strength of pro-
tections against political influence, |
but the effectiveness with which |
commissions staff government at
all lovels.

ees find themselves under a re-
strictive salary ceiling.
“Government must provide more
and better training opportunities.

“Promotion must be based more
on ability and achievement and
Jess on seniority and what is some-
times called personal patronage,

“Department heads should have
greater authority to rgmove in-
competents, whether or not the
incompetenta happen to be vet-
erans. Better supervision must be
provided.

“More intelligent reduction-in-
force procedures must be worked
out to enable agencies to retain
the most competent, and more
equitable veterans preference in
retention rights ahould be estab-
lished ,

“The career system should be
made government-wide, The only
exceptions should be those post-
tions which involve policy de-
cisions, At present, these excep-
tions are irregular and often are
based on political rather than
personnel considerations.”

Government Needs More
7 °
And Better Recruitment
C IVIL Service commissioners, sensitive and earnest
about their recruitment efforts, become “disturbed”
over statements that infer considerable ground for im-
provement. Until recently, recruitment was on a strictly
routine basis. [f any brilliant ideas were developed dur-
ing the routine period, we'd like to hear about them, All
branches of government, hard pressed by private indus-
try’s competition, had to adopt at least some of industry's
methods, But there are fields in which industry can offer
no pattern. It does not have large police departments,

but if it did have, it would find means of ready recruit-
ment, and government could then follow that example.

Opportunity for New Ideas

Government should contribute some new ideas to it-
self, at least in those areas where private Industry does
not operate a free idea bank, New York City, for instance,
should not be at any time without an ample eligible list |
to fill all prospective patrolman vacancies, and should}
not have to open the police exam every year, or, as re-
cently happened, twice in the same year. It should try
something other than examining the same candidates over
and over again.

The hope that through some good fortune more of
the repeat candidates will pasa this time should be aban-
doned. A city as large as New York has an ample police
recruitment population. It is up to the Civil Service Com-
misson to locate the prospects, and get them to apply.
Pay is one barrier. Civil service commissioners do what
they can, or deem proper, to get pay raised, but their
voice is hardly persuasive on that score, and the com-
missions, like the candidates, must largely take the pay
as they find it.

Recruitment More Resourceful

Government is becoming active in attempting to re-
cruit collegians as trainees in scientific and technical jobs.
The State pays them $60 a week in summer jobs and
even puts them up at the State University. This is in line
with Industrial practice, except In industry the railroad
fare for plant inspection trips is paid by the prospective
employer, and theatre tickets and drinks, and who knows
what else, are on the house.

Recruitment in a difficult market requires promo-
tional talents that civil service commissions do not or-
dinarily possess. After the U. 8. Civil Service Commission
put a public relations expert at the head of its “informa-
tion” service, the Commission won an award from a na-
tional public relations association for the way it promoted
the federal service entrance examination, for excellence
of execution, if not brilliance of conception. Naturally,
close cooperation between the publicity and administra-
tive arms produced the good results.

The Overall Measuring Rod

Let's have more and better efforts at recruitment for
public jobs, and more showings that earn, or should earn,
recognition. The day has passed when civil service com-
missions are merely watchdogs, and when the com-
missions can be forgiven for prating in their annual
reports that the spoils systems has gone, and the merit
system ia in full bloom. Most of today’s candidates are
too young to have known anything about the spoils gystem,

The work of recruitment for public jobs is being
done better, but not well enough, Commissions should get
on their toes, and stay there, lest someone come along
with a report telling what should be done and how, and
startle them, Commissions, that usually do all the exam-

ining, are now under examination. Here's hoping they
all “make” the eligible list.

The merit system can never be any better than its
recruitment,

ment. Somehow, private industry does not go in for down-|
grading. Government seems to have a monopoly on it, |
like in paying supervisors less than the employees they|

supervise. |

Wide Ramifications |
The ramifications of downgrading can be wide. If
retroactive downgrading can be practiced, an employee
could be compelled to return the difference in salary for
the downgraded period. Also, prospectively a downgraded
employee could have his salary reduced by downgrading
so that he will suffer the loss all his working life.
Mrs. Mae E. Hotaling, a New York State employee,
was singled out in downgrading, and retroactively, at that.
But she was fortunate to be a member of The Civil Sev-
vice Employees Association, which fought the attempted
downgrading also on behalf of all other State employees
similarly situated. The Association won a victory in the
Supreme Court in Albany. The opinion, written by Justice
Kenneth S, MacAffer, is a landmark. It brands retroactive
downgrading as illegal. It says the whole attempted down-|
grading, affecting other employees, was illegal. These}
were the contentions made by John T. DeGraff and John}
J. Kelly, Jr., Association counsel and assistant counsel. |
Congratulations to the Association, and to them, on win-)
ning a most important and far-reaching victory. |
Public employees everyhere in the United States
owe a debt of gratitude for what the Association has ac-
complished in the field of safeguards against dow ngrad-|
ing.

A Jurisdiction-Wide Poliey |

The principles on which the decision fs based are
generally applicable in civil service in the State and its
local governments, even though the laws regarding re-
classification may be differently phrased than those af-
fecting State employees. Even New York City and Buffalo,
with their semi-independent civil service administrations,
must be governed by similar principles.

Danger Mitigated in Federal Government |

In the Federal government the downgrading danger |

that menaced the future even of employees who had high}
seniority and ratings was so acute that legislation was |
required to safeguard the pay of a downgraded incum-
bent. That protection, limited though it is, now is the law.
An employee who has had at least two years’ service
will not suffer pay reduction, even if his job is down-
graded, and without time limit to the protection. How-
ever, where downgrading results from reduction in
force, or lessened duties, or is practiced for disciplinary
reasons, the protection does not apply, One may well
question the wisdom of recognizing downgrading as a
means of personal punishment, but at least the new law
provides some remedy for what was a festering wound.
} Government well deserves a sharp reminder that it
| was not founded for the purpose of perpetrating reprisal
through downgrading, and that an employee's livelihood
is something with which it must not trifle,

THANKS TO
MR. SILVER
Editor, The LEADER:

It has come to my attention
that President Charles H, Silver |
of the NYC Board of Education
has once again come to the ald
of the senior clerks of this eity
by writing letters to each and
every one of the members of the
Board of Estimate in support of
our claim for Salary Scale 9,

President Silver bos shown a@
vast Understanding of our needs
in this matter, As a practical ad-
ministrator he also knows that
the principle of equal pay for equal
work certainly pays off in employ=
€e morale and employee efficiency,
Purthermore, he has read the Ca-
freer and Salary Plan and realizes
that we cannot even hope for the
promotions that we once looked on
for which we should be adequate-
ly compensated, as were others
as & matter of right, and for
grades and services.

It is passing strange that only
this one Department head hae
shown the initiative and the coure
age to speak out for Senior Clerks
at this time, when the chips are
down and we reach the point of no
return, Where are the others?
And what are they doing, knowing,
88 they most certainly do, the dea-
perateness of our plight?

EXACTLY WHAT
DOES MR. KAPLAN MEAN?
Editor, The LEADER:

In your issue of July 11 you
report H. Eliot Kaplan as have
ing told the House Post Office and
Civil Service Committee that some
Jeaders of public employee groups
“are expressing a decidedly blased
viewpoint on plans to coordinate
Social Security with public retire-
ment systems”, and as misieading
many employees by misinforma-
lon, Mr, Kaplan is further re-
ported as having stated that @
plan of coordination is now be-
ing devised for New York State
employees and that “many state,
county and municipal workers
have voted already" for a plan of
coordination,

If you have correctly reported
what Mr, Kaplan stated to the
House Committee, it appears that
Mr. Kaplan is himself gullty of
spreading misinformation, If mem~
ory serves me correctly, many

retirees, as this is a real problem,

One retired man we all know
and admire for his untiring ef-
forts for Civil Service employees
is an expert administrator, Harry
R. Langdon, He worked his way |
up through Civil Service by open
competitive examinations, was
cited time and again in the
LEADER for his many and varied
activities, Personally, we could
never Understand why he reticed,
although he had worked for 40|
years, because he was still young |
in spirit and quite activp, He was)
founder of the In ice Train-

POLICE-FIRE COMBOS
CALLED AN ANOMALY
Editor, The LEADER:

Every once in a while I see @
squib somewhere, never in The
LEADER, telling about small com-
munities experimenting with the
operation of a combined police-
fire department. No matter how

small the community is, the two

duties do not mix. They require
different training and skills, It
is too much to expect anybody
except a genius to be able to cope
with both diverse duties, Besides,
the pay offered is not of the level
that attracts gentuses.

DO I NOT have a right to be

five months ago? ©, E.
Rehiring of resigned employ-
ees is a matter of Indulgence, not
of right, If the resignation took
place not more than a year pre-
vious, rehiring may be done, with-
out the applicant haying to take
another test, Department heads
may exercise thelr discretion about
rehiring, but seldom knock them-
selves out to comply with the
wishes of someone who quit, The
idea that a public job can be used

nobody was appointed unless he was a member of Presi-
|dent Washington’s Federalist Party. Still, Washington's
| bounded respect for merit was in sharp contrast to the
spoils system prevailing then—and perhaps even now—
|throughout the remainder of the world.

In our own day party allegiance has not gone un-
rewarded, either, in filling jobs of the type we now call
non-competitive, of which there were many in temporary
agencies, We recall Michael DiSalle, when he was head
of the Office of Price Stabilization in Truman's Admini-+
stration, being cross-examined by Republicans on his non-
competitive appointments. Mr. DiSalle, former Mayor of
Toledo, a man with a real sense of humor, said that he,
too, appointed only the most competent. Thus was he
aligning himself with the nation’s number one hero, not
a bad move. Preaséd to explain why the appointees all
turned out to be loyal Democrats, he remarked casually
that there didn’t seem to be many Republicans left in this
country any more.

Mr. DiSalle will be running for Governor of Ohio in
| November, but not against Governor Frank Lausche,
who'll probably be bidding for a Senate seat. The contest
will be against Aftorney General William O'Neill, and
may decide whether the disappearance of Republicans
is as complete in Ohio as Mr. DiSalle’ reported it to be
nationally, in his amusing testimony before a Congres-
sional committee.

Court Orders Hearing
On Claims Examiners’

Raise Denial Protest

TROY, July 30—Supreme Court
Justice Donald Taylor, sitting in
the Troy County Supreme Court,
signed an order directing J. Ear)
Kelly, of Classification
and Compensation, and the Clas-
sification and Compensati Ap-
penis Board, to show cause why
principal compensation claims ex-
aminers should not be upgraded
from R-23 to R-28.

‘The petitioners are Joseph A
Angione, Walter B, Blake, Jacob
J. Goldman, Perry Moss, Philip E.
Mulry and Abraham Schwarts. All
are lawyers permanently employed
by the State.

Hearing Set for August 24

On May 25, 1955 the Director of
Classification and Compensation
denied the petitioners’ appeal for a
reallocation from R-23 to R-28. On
March 30, 1956 the Classification
and Compensation Appeals Board
confirmed the director's action.

Represented by Attorney Sam-
uel Resnicoff of New York City, the
men claim that the State in viola-
tion of the principle of equal pay
for equal work jgnored compar-
able salaries in private industry.

The proceeding will be argued
in the Albany County Supreme
Court on Friday, August 24.

Convenient Dues Payment
Offered Through Payroll
Deduction Available Now

‘The big push is on to sign mem-~
bers to the Civil Service Employees
Association through payroll de-
duction of CSEA dues,

In letters to chapter presidents
and representatives and to individ-
uals, Association President Jolin
F, Powers outlined procedures for
obtaining payroll deductions of
dues authorizations, as well as the
advantages for so doing,

Speaking to members and non-
member, Mr. Powers pointed out
the fremendous gains made for
employees through Association ef-
forts In the State Legislature and
other Jegisiative levels this year,

In effect, suid Mr, Powers, the
easy payment of membership dues
through payroll deduction should
bring an even greater membership
to the Association, And, the great-
er the membership strength of the
CSEA, the greater strength will

the Association have to argue the
case of the public employee, Mr.
Powers declared ,

Pietured on this page is an au-
thorization card for such deduc-
tions, An employee's signature on
this card will allow him member-
shop in the largest public employ-
e¢ Organization in America for leas
than 15 cents a week during the
fiscal year, Deductions will amount
to 90 cents per payroll for 23 pay
periods,

Mr, Powers letter to chapter
presidents and representatives tells
not only procedures for obtaining
authorizations but the importance
to the Association and for public
employees of payroll deduction,

Tt reads as follows:

Letter to Presidents
We urge the full cooperation and

| special effort of you and your fel-
tow Chapter Officers and Commit-

tees on this very important mat-
ter, It is vital to the future suc-
cess of CSEA,

duction authority cards

fc) Blank cards which may be |
twed by members and non-mem-
bers who misplace or destroy the
card furnished them. |

2. Supply ef form letters signed

ers—this letter should be distri-
buted with each payroll deduction

3, Supply of membership ap-
piications—one of these should
