The State Civil Service®
Commission revealed that of
118 eligibles called for quali-
fying physical tests during the
past fortnight, 30 failed to ap-
pear and 19 were disqualified,
69 names went to the Correc-
tion Department as qualified.
Nos, 1016 and 1134 were call-
ed; it is likely that several
dozen more will be examined
during the next few weeks.

One appointment will be made
May 20, six more on June 1, The
July 1 appointments are to be dis-
tributed among the following pri-
sons: Attica, 7; Clinton, 11; Great

it is likely that another 15, in ad-
dition to those already announced,
will get jobs before the list dies.
‘The new Prison Guard test will
be among the first fall series of
State exams, Filing will probably
be open. dur’ Bag) September, and

Hundreds of jobs

the exam itself held on one of the
first Saturdays in October, Re-
quirements, according to William
E, Leonard, Deputy Correction
Commissioner, are to be the same
as those for the 1936 exam, The.
pay is $1,800-$2,280,

The previous exam set age li-
mits of 21 and 30, height min-
imum of 5 feet 9, and a weight of
at least 155 pounds. Candidates
had to be physically strong, and
free from any physical defects. In
addition, they had to meet one of
the following requirements:

“a) Not less than one year of
satisfactory, full-time experience
in the actual supervision of a
group of men, This supervisory
experience desired is similar to
that required as a foreman of la-
borers, as prison guard, police of-
ficer, or officer in the military ser-
vice, calling for the actual super-
vision of a group of men; or b)

| not less than six months of expe-
rience of the kind mentioned un-
der a), and education equivalent
to that represented by graduation
from a standard senior high
school; or c) a satisfactory equi-
valent combination of the forego-
ing experience and education.”

For the 1936 test, 4,666 filed, Of
this number, 2,221 were rejected,
leaving a list of 1,556. The test
was held on May 23, the list es-
tablished October 20.

A total of 1,900 Prison Guards
are employed by the department,
with an annual turnover of 50-60
men, A new prison at Green-
haven, to be ready in the summer
of 1941, will provide jobs for an-
other 225-250 men,

Leonard stated that the central
guard school at Wallkill is soon to
be reestablished, Guards go
through a training course of two
months,

Another public hearing is slated for this week on the
latest reclassification proposals of the Municipal Civil Service

Commission, The hearings wi

More than 5,000 employees of

Leader learned this week. Of
this group, nearly 1,000 have al-

fice. According to officials, com-
plete cooperation with this pro-
gram has been forthcoming from

The Commission announced

last week that it would complete
the reclassification of all BMT
employees in July and that it
would then immediately begin
the task of interviewing 15,000

This will be the first time©—

the Commission has held a
city-wide promotion test for
the new Administrative Serv-
ice which was established two
years ago, When a new eli-
gible list is established it will
be used to fill scores of posi-
tions created by the establish-
ment of the new service.

Junior Administrative As-
sistant jobs pay from $3,000 to
$4,000, with appointments
made at the minimum.

Open to Many Employees

From reliable sources, The
Leader has learned that the ex-
amination will be open to any city
employee in the competitive class
earning more than $2,400. Em-
ployees who formerly received $
400 or more, but who have su’
fered recent pay cuts, probably will
be admitted to the exam,

of Public Works. At that time,
the Commission outlined the fol-
lowing as the scope of the exami-
nation:

“The examination will be de-
signed to determine the candi-
date’s ability to perform the duties

cialized knowledge of some, of the
following:

“General functions and duties

ness machines and equipment;

nel practices and policies; fund,

Weights

The weights for this exam were:

It is expected that requirements
and the scope of the test will be
similar to those for this recent

Several cases in which New

act, such as voting or buying a
home, nullifies his declared inten-
tion. The Commission will declare
| its policy at its meeting Thursday,
May 23.

The matter was brought into
prominence during the recent le-
|gislative session when The Leader
| editorially called for legislation
which would exempt State employ-
ees from the restrictions of such
residence measures as the Lyons
Law. A number of top-ranking
eligibles on the recent Police and
Social Investigator lists, filling
small-paying jobs in the State
service in Albany, were declared
ineligible for employment in New
York City.

Taken Up

The Leader's suggestion was
immediately taken up by Senator
Philip M. Kleinfeld and Assem-
blyman Robert F. Wagner Jr, The
bill unanimously passed the As-
sembly, but died in the Senate
| Civil Service Committee.

During the time the bill was up
for consideration, Bronx Borough
President James J. Lyons told The
Leader that it had never been his
intention to deprive New Yorkers
of a chance for employment mere-
ly because they accept jobs else-
| where

The law has been inter-
preted to mean that a candidate
for employment must live in New
York City three years immediate-
ly preceding appointment; Lyons
recalled that he had intended it to
mean residence during any three-

lyear period,

The Firing Squad

ASQUALE VIOLA was a car maintainer working for
P the Board of Transportation. One day his foreman

asked him to get a tool. “Get it yourself,” Pas-
quale answered. This, of course, wasn't very polite,

But even less polite was the action of the Board of
Transportation in firing Viola. The case reached the
courts, and last week Supreme Court Justice Valente,
while upholding the Board's right to dismiss Viola, never-
theless admitted that the “penalty was very severe.”

The power to dismiss that lies in the hands of ad-
ministrative officials is greater than many employees
know. That the power is not always exercised with wis-
dom is a matter which Tue Leaner must sadly admit.
‘That employees in more than one department work in
day-to-day terror of losing their job is a fact which
simple observation will readily establish.

The merit system doesn’t thrive well on the caprice,
whim, and temperament of officials. The community
doesn’t get the best out of an employee in fear of los-
ing his livelihood. When a man is selected for Civil
Service, he has passed through a series of exams and
investigations showing him to be, out of a large sector
of the population, eminently fitted for his job. To fire
a person in the governmental service is therefore a grave
responsibility. It is not an action to be undertaken
lightly.

And if officials insist on using their disciplinary powers
in arbitrary fashion, it may well be time to ask whether

those powers shouldn’t be sharply curtailed.

McElligott Must Go!

moss, but it does, if it’s
properly directed, gather a
degree of polish.”

This is a variation of an old
adage which Edward James Mc-
Cullen, LL.B., LL.M., uses to de-
scribe himself. He is partly cor-
rect, but it’s not quite accurate to
call big, suave Ed McCullen a roll-
ing stone these days, since he is
firmly ensconced in the job of Li-
brarian of the Supreme Court of
New Yorhb State, First Judicial Dis-
trict.

Ed McCullen came up the hard
way (“from the front end of a
truck,” he says).

His first job was selling news-
papers at the East 34th Street
Ferry. He drove a coal truck from
the East 20th Street dock; then
went into the hay and grain busi-
ness in the old gas house district.
As he rolled on he went through
business school as a bookkeeper,
jumped into Wall Street as a credit
investigator, tried the wholesale
clothing business,

Civil Service Career

McCullen’s Civil Service career
began in 1909 when he was ap-
pointed Milk Inspector for the De-
partment of Health. In this job
he traveled through 10 eastern
states and Canada on inspectional
work,

After the tragic Triangle Shirt
Waist Company fire in 1911 in
which scores of girls were killed,
a Bureau of Fire Prevention was
established in the Fire Depart-
ment. McCullen placed near the
top on the list for Inspector and
was appointed. Later he became
Supervising Inspector for Brooklyn
and Queens,

McCullen

In 1917 McCullen entered the
Court of General Sessions and la-
ter was transferred to the Su-
preme Court where he has held
every position on the civil and
criminal sides of the court, except
that of Justice. There is one more
job that McCullen would like to
have and that is Justice of the Su-
preme Court. There is consider-
able opinion among members of
the bar that this is not beyond the
grasp of career man McCullen.

Personal History

In between times, as McCullen
was stepping from job to job, he
found time to work his way

The City Marshal Mess

Sirs: Your issue of May 14th re-
ports the appointment by the Mayor
of one City Marshal from Queens.
The new appointee's name appears
on the list which contains the
names of 204 successful candidates.
This it was ed by the Civil
Service Commission in January of
this yenr a ‘
tually 50 va according to the
records, it seems fair to raise a
pertinent question, Why has only
one appointment been made?

The action by the Mayor is dif-

ficult to understand, Perhaps you |
can enlighten the eligibles why all
the appointments were not made

at the same time—instead of keep-
ing those who made the list dan-
gling in mid-air, While it is true
the Mayor need only use this list

as a guide in making lections,
the fact remains that the exam
nation conducted by the Comm
sion on May 6, 1939, and taken by

about 2,000 candidates who each
paid a fee of was given at
the express diree! y

himself, One pay

1939, repo
stated “that it was time the posi-

tions were filled by others than

Most of those on the list were
called in by the Civil Service Com-
mission for fingerprinting and in-
vestigation back in October,

‘They were then informed at the of-
fice of the commission that speedy
action on the part of the Mayor in
making the appointments was ex-

pected, ‘Three months tater, in
fanuary, 1940, the list was first
released by the commisison. Almost

and now one solitary appointment

are the Civil Aeronautics Au-

Maritime Commission, and the

No money is carried specifically

spend as he wished in putting our
national defense in order and he
could allocate part of that money

I want to register a complaint

corner
sion. I refer to the policy of

short-period filing for certain ex-
aminations, Some exams are open
only three or four days. Often it
is impossible to learn about these
exams in time to get the applica-
tions, fill them out, have them
notarized and return them to the
Commission, Has the Federal
Commission any explanation?

One reason, I suppose, the Com-
mission does this is to cut down
on the number of applications
anu thereby save itself the work
of rating a large number of
papers. if such is the case, I
brand the practice as undemo-
cratic and opposed to the prin-
ciples of Civil Service, If the
Commission wants to cut down
on the number of applicants, it is
better to make the requirements
more stringent. That would be
more fair than “sneaking” a test

by May Andres Healy

May Andres Healy is granted the widest latitude

in expressing her views.

Her opinions do not ne-

cessarily represent the views of The Leader,

I have just returned from my second trip to Washington
where I had presented to the Chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, Congressman Clifton A, Woodrum, and to several
members of the Committee, a matter which is a very great
threat to the management and control of our Public Schools

in New York City.

You are all aware that certain®

‘WPA projects have been working
in the schools. When the Board
of Education initiated and accept-
ed these projects, the agreement
was that the Board should be in
complete control of the projects.
That is to say, they planned the
program, set the qualifications of
the WPA workers, accepting only
those who were qualified to do the
work of the project; reserving the
right to reject all whom they
deemed unfit; selected the build-
ings in which the projects were to

operate and the hours of such)
operation,

Problems
It seems now that the local
WPA Administrator has served

notice on the Board of Education|

that hereafter the WPA will oper-
ate in the schools without su
control by the Board of Education.
If we were to permit these un-
trained people to step into our
schools without the management
and control exercised by the
Board of Education, many serious
problems will present themselves,

1, Who would accept the re-

sponsibility for the chil-
dren under WPA supervi-
sion?

2 Who would be responsible
Jor our buildings?

3, Who would decide what is
to be taught?

4, Who would accept the per-

sonnel and under what
conditions?
Education is a state function

and the Board of Education is
charged by State statute with the
responsibility for the education
the children in the Public Schools,
Such an obligation cannot be
handed over to outsiders, The
Board of Education must keep this
contral, must manage all projects
and must have the veto power
over personnel to be used in the
schools, They must also have the
right to plan the programs, Un-
Tess the agreement arranged for
at the conception of these projects
is continued, the combined teach-
ing force of the New York Public
Schools can no longer give the
cooperation it has so actively
given in the past,

WPA Training

It takes years of experience to

direct and conduct a given activ~|

ity. The WPA has not these
trained leaders and we cannot
permit the fine standard set by
the Board of Education to be
broken down by untrained people.
In order to make many of these
WPA workers useful, the Work
Proj Committee of the Board
of Education and the Technical
Supervisors appointed by the
Board of Education have trained
the WPA workers in the various
subjects they were to teach, With-
out such training, great numbers
of the workers would be
value to Board of Education pro-
jects.

The WPA is an ever-changing
slaf/, Many leave each week
to accept positions in outside in-
dustry, Euen those who remain
must leave at the end of 18

of no} -

months employment, due to the |

of the 18
the federal

recent enactment

months clause in

law governing WPA,

We teachers realize that our chil-
dren must be protected by capable
and well-trained teachers. These
workers are at best in a tem-
porary position. They are not
responsible to any established em-
ployer, Such haphazard educa-
tion cannot be permitted in our
fine system.

Somervell’s Plan

In the past year the Board of

Education passed a by-law grant-
ing experience
workers when applying for licenses
from the Board of Education, This
surely should not continue. Who
would attest to the value of their
experience? No Board of Educa-
tion person would have the auth-
ority under the proposed plan of
olonel Somervell.
The amendment to the WPA
Appropriation Bill was sponsored
by the Joint Committee of Teach-
ers’ Organizations. Both the
amendment and the statement ex-
plaining the need for such amend-
ment was taken up with Colonel
Somervell by Congressman Wood-
rum, Naturally, the Colonel did
not like to have his wings clipped,
so he protested to President James
Marshall,

I was surprised to discover on
the second trip that Mr, Marshall
did not endorse the amendment.
prefering to make an agreement
with Colonel Somervell concerning
the control of the projects,

Word received late today, how-
ever, indicates that no satisfactory
arrangement has been made, for
the WPA Chief Project Super-
visors may only suggest and ob-
serve,

What About B. of E.?

I cannot understand how our
Board of Education can allow
such a situation to continue,

The Teachers’ Organizations, I
am sure, will continue the fight.

Time is an element, for the Ap-
propriation Bill will be voted next
week.

Many of the New York men in
Congress are in hearty accord with
the amendment and recognize our
right to ask for same. Congress-
man James M, Fitzpatrick, the
New York representative on the
Appropriations Committee, has
been most helpful, presenting to
his committee the need for such
an amendment.

If the amendment is not ac-
cepted, the blame is not ours!
We pointed out the dangers and
continue to watch most careful-
ly this transfer of power. There
is still time for President Mar-
shall and the Board of Educa-
tion to prevent the loss of con-
trol by either endorsing the
amendment or making public
what agreement has been
reached with Colonel Somervell.

Background
Of The Week’s News

Jablonower Angle

A new group of experts have
been picked to administer another
oral test to Joseph Jablonower and
28 other candidates for Member of
the Board of Examiners, Board of
Education. But Paul Jerome
Kern, dynamic and hard-hitting
president of the Municipal Civil
Service Commission, won't say who
the experts are, He feels that if
the men were known “undue pres-
sure from the same bigoted group
which tried to upset the last
exam” would be exerted on them.
Kern's Tammany-baiting has not
abated, He received a jolting
when the courts voided the last
oral exam for the $11,000 school
post after Jablonower alone, of
29 candidates, succeeded in pass-
ing. But even this setback, along
with some harsh words from the
courts, hasn't daunted the Civil
Service Commission president who
delights in terrific word battling
against enemies of his interpreta~
tion of the merit system,

Jablonower continues in his post
at the Board of Education, serving
as a provisional appointee, Accord-
ing to Kern, the new oral exam
will not be worked out until after
the schools close in June, when the
experts will have some spare time,
As soon as they prepare the test,

Scholarships

NYU likes to give scholarships.
It renders a public service, gets
publicity, And NYU likes pub-
licity, Latest scholarships are a
pair open to school administrators.
They permit study in sweet, lazy

The courses extend from July 5
to August 9. Supervising and di-

Rapport

Rumblings in the Teachers
Union, Watch for a movement at
rapport with the Joint Commit-
tee, and for re-entrance into the
Central Trades and Labor Coun-
cil, Reasons; (1) a strong feeling
that in times like these teachers
should be welded strongly togeth-
er; (2) that the lines of division
between the Union and other
Broups is not really so great as
imagined.

600 Losers

This year education has been
the stepchild of the budget-mak-
ers. The budget adopted by the
Board of Estimate means the loss
of 600 positions to permanent-subs
in the elementary schools. It
means less teachers, bigger classes.
A bill will be introduced into the
City Council, either this week or
next, to outlaw overcrowding, And
because legislative rigmarole is
what is it, the bill will be drawn
up in such a way as to condemn
overcrowding not because it is
overcrowding, but because it is a
fire hazard,

Lindlof Comes
A Cropper

The ouster of Mrs. Johanna M.

organizations denied the charges.

Pre
GEORGE HERB
ENIAL,

G

cop to a skilled social worker's. A
veteran of 45 years service in New
York City's school system, Chat-
field is Director of Attendance for
the Board of Education. He, and
several hundred Attendant Offi-
cers and Supervisors, must see that
New York's 1,000,000 children don’t
play hookey.

Nowadays, as Chatfieid quickly
points out, truancy is no innocent
dereliction stemming from a kid's
desire to see the circus or go fish-
ing. Generally it is deeply-rooted
in such social and economic fac-
tors as unemployment, malnutri-
tion, poor housing, ill health, etc.

Chatfield started his career as a
teacher “in the Fall of '95.” In
1914 he joined the newly-formed
Bureau of Attendance as Assistant
Director. Today the Bureau is re-
sponsible for children between 7
and 17. This is no mean task,
considering that there are 200,000
transfers yearly from one school
to another. Each of these must be
tracked down and checked.

“We're a law enforcing agency,”
Chatfield explains. “We have to
go to the statutes to find out what
to do. I don’t think the time will
ever come when people will do all
the things they are supposed to,

simply because they should. And

white-thatched
George Herbert Chatfield
has a job which calls for
abilities ranging from those of a

file

ERT CHATFIELD

that, of course, goes for children,
too.”

Chatfield has spent a great deal
of time probing the reasons chil-
dren fail to attend school. He has
written widely on the subject,
Some of his conclusions are start-
ling, For example, he says there
are about 25,000 or 35,000 kids
(even in grades up to high school)
who can’t read, or who read so
poorly they can't keep abreast of
their work,

Getting at one of the roots of

the attendance problem, Chatfield
reasons thus soundly: if the kids
can’t read, they can't do their
work, and pretty soon they grow
to hate school. “Take youngsters
who fail in school work,” Chatfield
says, “They are really a nuisance
to schools and teachers. And soon-
or later they kmow they are a
nuisance, They get feelings of in-
feriority, This undermines their
fidence and makes them hate
chool!”
In recent years there have been
concentrated efforts to solve these
attendance problems. WPA pro-
jects, which Chatfield supervised,
have been helpful along these
lines.

Despite his long service in the
schools, Chatfield still is deeply
interested in his work and has no
| intention of retiring, though he
‘could have done so at any time
in the last ten years,

Edueational Advances

Experiment In
Democracy

Teachers are constantly talking
about democracy. . Out in
Brooklyn there's a school that
makes a practice of working dem-
ocracy, .. . There's probably noth-
ing else quite like it in America,
and other schools throughout the
country ought to take a good look
at this laboratory experiment in
good government. . . , The school
(Brooklyn High School for Special-
ty Trades) is set up like a nation.
+++ The boys vote for their pres-
ident, for senators and represent-
atives. .. . They have their own
parties, amd each party has its
platform. , . ..The Democrats may
be advocating an improved library,
the Republicans a cafeteria as
more vital. . . . Party pledges are
usually kept... . There are stump
speeches, campaign managers, all
the paraphernalia of elections ex-
cept the smokefilled room. .. .
The boys have devised several in-
novations upon the federal system.
+ +. The defeated candidate for
president enters the victor's cab-
inet, on the theory that if he was
good enough to represent a
portion of the public, he’s good
enough to advise the man he ran
against. , , , Another innovation:
the outgoing president is appoint-
ed an administrative assistant to
the new president. , .. The school
congress meets once a month to
enact laws. ... Each class is a
state, ., . The Supreme Court tries
cases against school offenders.

So seriously is the Court taken
that sometimes parents appear as

character witnesses,

Remedial English

Jesse Stuart is a teacher in
Portsmouth, Ohio. To him fell
the job of running a class in
Remedial English . . , always
@ tough assignment .. , Stuart
feels this way about the Eng-

lish language: “Highschool
principals and highschool Eng-
lish teachers have helped

Squeeze the living juice” out of
it... For textbooks, Stuart
uses not old grammars, but the
Portsmouth Times, Life Mag-
azine, Harpers, New Republic,
Household Magazine and even
Esquire . . . And he’s gotten re-,
markable results, as shown by
a variety of standard tests...
Here's how Stuart organizes his
work: Monday, a: student can
talk about anything at all...
Tuesday is spelling day... . 50
words are selected from news-
paper editorials . . , Student
writes his spelling and exchang-
es papers with another stu-
dent . Old-time spelling
bees arouse enthusiasm... .
Wednesday is the day for hunt-
“ing mistakes in the paper...
and hunting for that elusive
something called a subject—the
matter you are talking about.
followed by a search for
the words that cling to nouns—
the adjectives .. . and the kids
love it . , . Thursday is for
memory work ., , Friday is the
“great day,” the day students
can create—write about any-
thing they wish ... The boys
have learned to talk on their
feet... Maybe what they say

isn't polished, but these Re-
medial English students can
“rise on their toes and tell the
world what is wrong.” Yes, they
use the language,

‘“‘Boloney”’

And in another English class,
at swank new Christopher Col-
umbus High School, the Bronx, a
teacher gets spectacular results by
teaching in pantomine, of all
things. He's Edwin A. Whalen, and
every Friday afternoon he con-
ducts a “salon.” There's free dis-
cussion and debate among the stu-
dents about anything under the
sun, If a youngster begins to
shout, the teacher's face takes on
| a somber reproachful look, and the
shouting subsides, One day. Mr,
Whalen wrote on the blackboard
a quote from Macbeth:

Security is mortal’s bondage.
A student went to the black-
| board and scrawled “boloney.”
But Whalen, still in pantomine,
had the last word, For “boloney”
| had been spelt wrong, required an
” instead of an “o” in the first
syllable,

| Forward Backward

The best ecucational advance is
to go back—way, way back, pleads
| dark, intellectual Prof, Mortimer
Adler, ... A good educational sys-
tem has first to teach people to
read, write and speak , . , which
| means to think clearly... . And
one reason why so many Ameri~
cans don’t think clearly is that
they've never learned to read! ...

Question, Please?

by H. ELIOT KAPLAN
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

TAKING A TEST CONDITIONALLY

M.L.—When you file your ap-
plication to take an examination
the commission usually first de-
termines whether your experi-
ence, education and other qualifi-
cations meet the requirements,
In some instances where there is
doubt, the commission permits
the candidate to take the written
test “conditionally,”

HOSPITAL HELPERS

H.G.B.—Hospital helpers posi-
tions are now classified in the
labor class. Those who were hold-
ing these positions in the non-
competitive class continue in their
positions with status as “labor
class.” The change in the classi-
fication of these positions will not
have any direct bearing on the
salary or pension rights of in-
cumbents,

SEASONAL EMPLOYMENT

W.B.—When you were appoint-
ed from an cligible list estab-
lished for seasonal employment
you were not entitled to a per-
manent job, You were entitled to
go on a preferred list for future
Seasonal employment, or tempor-
ary employment as such vacan-
cies occurred, When you are ap-
pointed from an eligible list (es-
tablished for permanent appoint-
ments) for a temporary period
and your appointment is made
out of regular order on the list
because others higher than you
declined temporary appointment,
you may not be continued in the
service as a permanent employee
unless your name had been
reached for regular certification
for a permanent position.

NO OGPU

S.G.—I don't know where you
got the information that the Gov-
ernor and the Mayor have a staff
of investigators that examines all
the complaints made to them re-
lating to examinations, I know
of no such “special force of in-
vestigators" as you mention, Com-
plaints to the Governor or Mayor
are often referred to either the
commission or to some other ag-
ency for investigation or inquiry.

AGE AND PENSIONS.

J.B.0'T.—Both the State and
New York City retirement sys-
tems are based primarily on the
“service plan’—that is, on years
of service rendered, They are not
based on an “age plan’—that is,
age alone does not determine the
amount of pension payable, but
rather the length of service after
reaching retirement age. For that
reason the state and city have
little concern with the age of the
new entrant so far as permitting
him to come into the pension sys-
tem. His age does, however, de-
termine the new entrant's amount
of contribution to the pension
fund.

MORE ABOUT PENSIONS
J.M.M.—A member of the state
or city retirement system makes
his contribution out of his salary.
Tho contribution is deducted by
the comptroller from his semi
monthly salary check, The State
or City virtually matches the con-
tribution made by the employee
almost dolla for dollar, so that
one who has contributed $1000
during his period of service gets
credit for about twice that
amount for pension purposes, It

: thorough analysis by a well-known Civil Service authority,

is conceivable therefore that an
employee, upon reaching retire-
ment age, might withdraw his
full contribution to the pension
fund and still receive a small an-
nual pension payment, The
amount contributed by the State
or City carries the extra pension
for him, Whether he may follow
this plan will depend upon the
option of retirement he selected.

WHERE TO APPLY
ABOUT PENSIONS

M.Y.—If you wish to know the
amount you will receive as an an-
nual pension allowance should
you retire on July 1, the State
comptroller’s office (Albany) will
bo glad to inform you if you are
in the state retirement system.
If you are in the New York City
pension system application for
such information should be made
to the New York City Retirement
System, Municipal Building,

LEAVES AND STANDING

Abel, — While the department
may grant you a leave of absence
from your position to enable you
to accept a position in the Fed-
eral service, such leave can’t be
for longer than one year, When
your leave is up, you may be re-
instated to your old position, If
you resign to go into the Federal
Service, you are eligible for rein-
statement to the city position
within one year; but reinstate-
ment is in the discretion of the
department. It is not a matter of
right, You do not lose your place
on the promotion list during the
period of your leave of absence.
You do if you resign from the
service, Neither a leave of ab-

sence nor resignation would af-
fect your standing on a preferred
list for another position,

SALARY IN LIEU OF
MAINTENANCE

S.G.—Where a position carries
a provision for maintenance in
addition to salary, the employee
may in certain cases receive
additional pay in lieu of mainten-
ance. Ordinarily no maintenance
is allowed for other than the ap-
pointee himself, whether he is
married or not.

RECLASSIFIED POSITION

HLAS, — Where your position
was reclassified some time ago
from stenographer-clerk to as-
sistant stenographer and you have
been serving in the latter posi-
tion for some time, there would
appear to be no need for your
having to receive any new or
“formal” appointment to the po-
sition from the eligible list your
name appears upon now. How-
ever, in order to receive the pay
of a senior stenographer you will
have to be reached for certifi-
cation on the senior stenographer
list.

NAME CHANGE

S.F.—The fact that you have
for a long time been assuming a
name that is not your original
one will not disqualify you for
certification or appointment, pro-
vided the change of name was
made in good faith. You have
an unblemished record and there
is no reason for concern, The
commission may require you to
submit evidence as to your proper
identity and proof that papers

submitted by you bearing yoy,
original name are actually yours

APPOINTMENT IN WASHINGToy

L.M.—Appointments to the By,
reau of the Census at Washint”
ton are subject to the apportion.
ment law (quotas for each stat,
according to population), 4 py...
son accepting appointment” {4
such positions would not lose «lig.
ibility for appointment from

cause of the Lyons Law, ‘Ten.
porary appointees may be grant,
ed the privilege of sick leave
vacation, etc, if the Eureay
wishes. They are generally not
entitled to the full privileges ac.
corded to regular permanent
members of the Bureau of thy
Census.

*‘PROBATIONAL INDEFINITE’
G.K.—The notice from the U, g

Civil Service Commission that
you have been appointed to a po.
sition for a “probational inde.

inite” term or period means that
there is no assurance as {o tho
“permanency” of the position, 1
may last for a long time or by
abolished at any time. If the po.
sition lasts beyond the proba.
tionary period required for per.
manent appointment you will ob.
tain “permanent” status under
the civil service rules, If the
position is dropped before yoy
complete the probationary period
your name will go back on the
eligible register for future ap-
pointment as a vacancy might
occur, “Permanent” statis car+
ries certain privileges not ac«
corded to those appointed for
temporary service or those not

ney explained, but the benefits

didate entered the race, He's

Economy

Sober citizens of Poughkeep-
si¢ are cheering a recent action
of the Municipal Ciyll Service
Commission; hundreds of dol-
lars have been sayed, they point
out. It happened this way: two
exams were scheduled for May
8, About a week before May 3,
the Commission learned that
the position of Sealer of Weights
and Measures would be vacant.
Instead of waiting until June
for tlie test, and making a pro-
visional appointment in the
meantime, the Commission
bpeedil ostponed the May 3
testa 6 May 10, then conducted

the Sealer test along with the
others, Presto—the clty saved
$3,000,

Experience Only

Nassau County's Civil Service
Commission wants to explode
the unwelcome myth that there
is unemployment without jobs
available, For example, two lists
for Field Workers in the Public
Welfare Department are ex-
hausted; new exams will be held

next month. Chief Examiner
William O, Frech explains that
many persons take Civil Service
exams for the experience only;
they never have any intention
of taking the job. Thus job op-
portunities—at least for Field
Workers—exist,

More Competition

With the exception only of
part-time, confidential, and
elective jobs, practically every
position in Middletown is now
in the competitive class, Thir-
teen new divisions were made
competitive last week by the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion, According to plans, in~
cumbents will be switched; fu-
ture vacancies, though, will be
filled only after competitive
tests. Now it all goes to the
State Civil Service Commission
for approval,

County Commission?

Democrats in’ Newburgh are

of Edward Yereance to succeed
Foster; Foster, meanwhile, feels
he should be reappointed. Just
to make things even more com-
plicated, a number of Democrats
aren’t overjoyed at a recent ac
tion of Mulholland: he took
over the temporary job of Down-
ing Park policeman without so
much as a by-your-leave from
his committee,

CIVIL SERVICE NEWS BRIEFS

Anniversary

It’s just about a year since
Binghamton’s Mayor, Charles
W. Kress, was tried and acquit-
ted as the highlight of a sensa-
tional story of vice and gamb-
ling. This week some of the final
remaining coals were raked up.
The Civil Service Commission
asked for the status of Joseph
Zyerblis and Andrew Barvin-
chak, patrolmen who were star
witnesses at the trial, and who
now remain on a suspended list,
Just to keep the records straight,
was the Commission’s ostensible
reason.

No Action

Syracuse's Fireman list ex-
pires June 3. As yet, though,
city solons are undecided as to
whether any appointments shall
be made before the death of the
list. They admit that the city’s
fire staff is undermanned; the
same situation exists in the po-
lice department. Economy-mind-
“ed taxpayers are being satisfied,
though, as the city is saving
thousands of dollars, Under
any circumstances, at least an-
other year must elapse before
new lists can be established.

Last month, Governor Lehman’
signed the Fite bill which allows
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion to lend examination and clas-
sification aid to municipalities, on
@ fee basis, Administrators have
to be found to do the job. The
Commission therefore announced
its plan this week to hold open
competitive exams for three posi-
tions: Principal. Personnel Tech-

nician ($5,200-$6,450) ; Associa
tion Personnel Technician ($4,000-
$5,000); Senior Personne! Teclinl-
cian ($3,120-$3,870),

Tuesday, May 9), r

|" City Commission’s Calendar

MASS CERTIFICATIONS

The Municipal Civil Service Commission this week ap-
proved the policy of mass certification—a new method of sup-
plying departments with eligibles for city jobs. Under the new
plan the Commission will make a permanent certification of

perhaps 200 names to a department.

This certification may

be used at any time without going through the regular process

of making appointments.

The first such mass or “pool”

certification, as Commis-

sioner Wallace S. Sayre put it, will be made to the Dept. of Hos-

pitals to fill vacancies of Hospital Helpers.

Since no Hospital

Helper list now exists, the Commission has yet to decide which

list to declare appropriate.

The Sanitation Man list, which

may be ready next fall, is under consideration.

Purpose of the new type of certification is to provide a sim-
plified method of appointment for positions which have a rapid
turnover. If the experiment proves successful, it will be used

for other types of jobs.

Other items on the Commission’s weekly calendar follow

Welfare Veterans

2340 and 2341, The Commission cer-
tified the Social Investigator list to the
Dept. of Welfare to replace war veteran
provisionals. This action was taken as
the result of the court decision in the
Sherman v, Hodson case,

Health Nurse, Playground Director

2343. A public hearing was called to
consider the reclassification of Public
Health Nurses and Playground Directors,
If reclassified, salaries would not be re-
duced, but the range for salary incre-
ments would be cut from $1,200 to $600.

Management Assistant Keys

2345. The final keys were approved
for the tests of Management Assistant
(Housing Authority), Grade 3, and Man-
agement A: (Housing Authority),
Grade 4, Part 1A.

Junior Engineer

2347. The Commission denied a re-
quest of the Civil Service Technical Guild
to cancel the exam for Junior Engineer
(Signal), Grade 3, Electrical Engineer
employees, who are members of the Guild,
were seeking a promotion exam to the
position,

Electrical Inspector

2348. The Commission approved a re-
port advising that the lists for Junior
Electrical Engineer and Electrician not be
used to replace provisional Electrical In-
spectors.

Transit Commission Transfers

2349. Because the Office of Comptrol-
ler discovered it could not accept 25 Tran-
sit Commission employees who are seek-
ing transfers, the Commission had to
delay another week a decision on the

matter. The possibility that the Board
of Transportation may accept the men
will be investigated this week,

Park Foreman

2350, Until the new Park Foreman,
Grade 2 list comes out, the Arboricultur-
ist list will be certified to fill vacancies
in the title.

Lunch Room Helper

2352. The Commission once again
started on a search for persons to fill
positions as Lunch Room Helper in the
Board of Education. The preferred wo-
men’s list for Nurse’s Assistant was with-
drawn because the Board prefers men in
the jobs; so for the second time the
Porter's list will be certified. First, how-
ever, @ canvass of men on the lower
part of the Porter register will be made.
The vacancies probably will not be filled
until Fall.
Clerical Service

2364. A public hearing was ordered to
consider abolishing 15 titles in the Legal
Service and the Court Office Service
(Municipal Court) and placing the titles
in the Clerical Service. This proposal is
in line with the Commission’s policy of
consolidating the services.

Section Stockman.

2366. The request of seven Stock As-
sistants in the Dept. of Welfare to take
a promotion exam to Section Stockman
was denied. There are not enough quali-
fied persons eligible for such a promo-
tion exam, and therefore only an open
competitive exam will be given.

Emergency Revenue Division

2371. Employees in the Bureau of
Welfare Payments will be included in the
same promotional unit as employees of
the Emergency Revenue Division, and
will appear in the same promotional list.
Because of the questionable status of the
Bureau of Welfare Payments, no one
knew exactly to what department it be-
longed.

Core Drill Operator's Helper

2377. The Commission redrafted its
resolution classifying the title of Core
Drill Operator's Helper so that the sal-

ary reads, “maximum and

$1,500 per annum.” iin,

Exam Requests

2383. Requests for exams for
Placement Interviewer and
Typewriter Repairman were

Chief Parole Officer

2384. ‘The promotion exam fo,
Parole Officer in the Parole Coin
was cancelled and the advertisem,..
the exam withdrawn, at

Hospital Helper

2393. The Commission disapprove
transfer of James Phillips from
sition of Hospital Attendant, in the ny
competitive class, to Hospital Helps,
the labor class.

Telephone Maintainer

2404. The Board of Trans;

ments.

advertisement and reopen filing

ray Hill High School that vocational
school training be considered equal
technical high school training.

ecver into Civil Service the legal
of the transit system, when taken o
by the city, was voiced by the st
County and Municipal Workers of Am
ica. Decision was reserved.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

DPUI=-Whats All the Fuss?

Why Has the Spotlight Been Constantly Focussed
On One of the State’s Most Important Divisions?

By H. ELIOT KAPLAN

January 1, 1938, was a red-letter day for the working men and women
of New York State. On that day, the State started payment of benefits to

its unemployed.

It was also a red-letter day for the courts and the State Civil Service
Commission. For ever since, many have been puzzling over the personnel prob-
lems of the Division of Placement and Unemployment Insurance, the agency
which supervises payment of benefits to the unemployed and tries to find them

jobs.

What's all the fuss? Exams
are announced, then can-
celled. Personnel officials are
kept busy by disgruntled em-
ployees. The Legislature is
peppered with bills to move
the Division’s offices.

When the DPUI was established
in 1936—before Milton O. Loysen,
the present administrator, was ap-
pointed and before Frieda S. Miller
became head of the Labor De-
partment—there was little experi-
ence to guide the Division or the
State Civil Service Commission as
to the kind of staff it should have,
what positions would be actually
necessary, etc.

A large number of provisional
appointees, most of them from
the former Nationa! Reemploy-
ment Service offices, were taken
on because of their apparent ex-
perience.

At first, attempts were made by
some of the friends of the pro-
visionals to transfer them to the
DP sitions without any ex-
tions by the State Commi:
the il Service Reform A:
sociation opposed this plan, and)

forced the positions to be filled |
f m open competitive tests.

After considerable delay, the
State Commission finally estab-
lished a number of eligible lists.
Over a thousand positions had to
be filled from the lists,

Easy At First

The clerical positions had been
gradually filled from the lists
without much difficulty. Appoint-
ments from the other eligible lists
which would displace the large
number of provisionals were fur-
ther delayed. Again the State
Commission and the DPUI had to
be persuaded into displacing the
provisionals. When appointments
were finally to be made from the
1 there was a scramble for the
job Naturally, every effort was
made to keep the provisionals on
the job because they had already
been trained for the work,

Entire List Certified

Just what was done with the
eligible lists First of all, the
State Commission, in order to fill

hundreds of jobs, certified the en-
tire eligible list in each case, let-

ting the DPUI have a free hand in| »

making appointments. The per-|
sonnel bureau then designated by
the Commission and the DPUI
used the then existing privilege of
appointing ‘one out of three.”|
The DPUI “passed over” many
persons on the eligible lists in or-
der to select persons it believed
ready for the work!

Let us take a few examples of
what actually was done. Eligibles
who stood as low as 600 on the list
for Employment Interviewer were
appointed first on December 15,
1937, while some eligibles right
near the top of the list weren't
appointed until March 15, 1938—
three months later, It is claimed
that some were not available im-
mediately and others lost in the
shuffle,

Courts Forced Ouster

In the case of the Payroll Ex-
aminers, the DPUI tried to fore-
stall displacement of their provi-
sionals, After many months, the
State Commission and the DPUI
were required by court order to
oust the provisionals and appoint
the eligibles, The DPUI, however,
was glad to follow the list.

Later, in December, 1938, when

jon.

the staff had to be reduced, new
attempts were made to save the
earlier appointees, if possible. In-
stead of suspending or laying-
off the employees on a basis of
their original standing on the list,
the DPUI laid them off in accord-
ance with the “date of original
appointment.” This meant that
many of those higher on the list
were to be let out while those be-
low them were kept,

Another Law Suit

And this isn't the whole story.
Beginning with March, 1938, the
budget director would not permit
the DPUI to appoint more than a
certain number of employees in
each group as “permanent” em-
ployees. More than 300 employees
were appointed as “temporary.”
‘The DPUI was, of course, helpless:
in this situation, Although Direc-
tor Loysen wished to employ them
all on a permanent basis, the bud-
get director would not permit it.

Unfortunately the budget of-
fice misapprehended the effects of
“permanent” and “temporary”
tatus, In fairness, it should be
stated that the DPUI insisted up-
making permanent appoint-
ments, but misguided economy
zealots refused to budge,

Stayed 15 Months

These temporary appointments,
ranging as a rule from 1 to 3
months, and often renewed and
lasting in some cases for more
than 15 months, included all sorts
of p ions, from Employment In-
terviewers to Clerks, Typists, and
Counsellors. Naturally, many per-
sons on the eligible lists declined
temporary appointments. Others
accepted them,

Pressure from the Civil Service
Reform Association and from the
employee associations finally in-
fluenced the Civil Service Com-
mission and the budget office to
permit the DPUI to make perma-
nent appointments. The problem
later arose because of certain
court decisions as to whether the
temporary appointees holding the
positions were to be permitted to
continue in permanent status, or
Whether the Commission should
recertify the eligible lists and let
those who had declined temporary
appointments also to have oppor-

tunity for permanent appoint-

ments,
Enter Complications

To add to the complications,
those holding permanent positions
in the lower grades insisted that
the higher places should be filled
only by promotion, They urged
further that those on the open
competitive lists, even those who
had been appointed in the higher
grades as temporaries at the same
time as the permanent employees
were appointed from lower grade
eligible lists, should be dropped
and have no further chance for
certification for permanent ap-
pointment,

At first the Civil Service Com-
mission thought it would drop all
the temporaries and not certify the
original eligible lists. It would hold
new promotion examinations and
use the resulting promotion lists,
(In many cases, no promotion
lists were available). The DPUI,
of course, was at all times anxious
to make promotions wherever pos-
sible. After protest, it was be-
lieved that those on the original
lists were entitled to reconsidera-
tion, since their names would
have been certified long ago if
the positions had originally been
treated as permanent ones. For
this the State Commission, it is
expected, will decide to certify the
original lists down to a point where
original permanent appointments
would have been made.

It is expected that with these
recertifications and appointments
to permanent positions, the old
confusion of appointments in the
DPUI will be soon forgotten.

A Unique Unit

It should be remembered that
the DPUI is unique among de-
partmental units in the State in
having the largest number of em-
ployees (approximately 4,000) dis-
tributed in 89 local offices, besides
operating bureaus in its Albany
headquarters, Something like 87
per cent of its total staff is now
on a permanent Civil Service
basis, The remaining 13 per cent
is composed of temporary em-
ployees appointed from Civil Ser-
vice lists, in accordance with Civil
Service rules and regulations.

Four new forms to be used by
department heads in requesting
promotion exams, authorizing
temporary and provisional ap-
pointments, and ordering labor
exams, have been adopted by the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion, The forms used for ordering
new exams in the future will be
signed by the Budget Director, as
well as the department head.

Thumbs Down On Tests
For Interviewer,

Repairman

The Municipal Civil Service
Commission turned thumbs down
on requests that exams for Senior
Placement Interviewer and Fore-
man of Typewriter Repairman be
ordered, According to the Com-
mission, the list for Assistant _Su-
pervisor is considered appropriate
for Senior Placement Interviewer.
The Commission also said that an
eligible list for Typewriter Fore-
man is nearly ready and that it
