The sick leave bill, which the

Mr. Isaacs promises to support,
would grant sick leave to a per diem
employee after he has been on the
job for six months, At present, a
per diem employee must work five
years before gets any sick leave at
all, The department head has the
right to grant up to 30 days sick
leave; the actual number of days
granted varies with the department.
The Borough President allots 12
days.

Interesting Contrasts

On the matter of equal pay for
equal work, Mr, Isaacs made some
interesting salary contrasts, “An
elevator operator in the Department
of Hospitals earns $860; an elevator
operator in the Borough President's
office earns $1,200; an elevator opera-
tor in the Board of Education earns
$1,860, Yet they all perform the
same work.” Mr. Isaacs is opposed
to this sort of thing, and in general
it is his feeling that the Board of
Education has an advantage over all
city departments. “There are 46

intendents of Schools, earning be-
tween $10,000 and $12,500 each.
Compare the responsibility of a Dis-
trict Superintendent with the re-
sponsibility of a New York City.
Commissioner who may earn no
more, Why, it's ridiculous! And
there isn't anything we can do about
it, because we're hamstrung by the
state.”
Pay Differences Going

Mr. Isaacs indicated ‘that wher-
ever possible, the city is doing what
it can to wipe out pay differences.
“It ought not tc be that an auto
enginemen starts at $1,200 in one
department and $2,000 in another.”
The tall, ascetic-looking Borough
President indicated that the scaling
of pay would not always be toward
the highest, but it would always be
“fai

On the budget in general, Mr.
Isaacs thought it represented a gopd
job by the Mayor, He approaches it,
however, with an open mind, “!
can always learn,” he grinned to this
reporter, “and I'm willing to listen
to any group which has a beef about

Superintendents and District Super-

the budget.”

‘The Editor Spends a Restless Week Finding Out

he has a wife and six kids and not
much insurance.

“Okay,” the editor said,
superman, too.’

The P. E. started to leave. He
shook the editor's hand. The editor
knew that he didn’t mean to squeeze
hard, but the P, E, cracked four
knuckles, and the editor has been
using his left-handed typewriter ever
since. “Next week,” the P. E. said
with a grim look in his eye, “I expect
to see a big headline, ‘The Police eli-
gibles are Supermen.’” ‘The P, E.
walked out.

Another Tarzan

Fifteen minutes later, the girl at
the switchboard told the editor: “A
gentleman outside ii ts on coming
in to see you.” The girl emphasized
the word “insists.”

The editor looked out and saw an-
other burly, broad-shouldered, Tar-
zan-like specimen of New York
youth. He put-his hand in his pocket
and groaned, The visitor entered,
smiling,

“I know,” the editor said, “you're

“Your assumption is only partially
correct.” The visitor spoke in pre-
cise, cultured tones. “I'm on the
SPECIAL Patrolman’s list...P, D,

“Oh,” the editor said. He noticed
that his visitor carried a brief-case
and wore spats,

“May I correct an erroneous state-
ment which appeared on page 8 in
the latest issue of your publication?”

“You may," the editor said,

“A well-devgloped capacity for in-
tellectual achievement is the prime
requisite of a superman.” The visitor
smiled politely. “The men on the
Sanitation list were chosen for their
physical, not their mental, acumen.

“They took a -written test, too?

Sanitation Test Set for July 19

The date for the promotion
test to Assistant Foreman, De-
partment of Sanitation, has been
set for July 19. Originally the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion intended to give the test in
June. This early date would have
allowed many men an insuffi-
cient period in which to study so
an appeal was made to the Com-
mission to postpone the exam
until July,

The in-service training lectures
that are now being conducted by the
Department of Sanitation will be
completed on June 3. Following
their conclusion, Deputy Commis-
sioner William Powell plans to con-
duct special training classes in the

Department's School at 22nd St, and
the East River.

‘The tentative plan is to give all
men who are eligible for the Assi
tant Foreman test a three-day prac-
tical course in the handling and op-
eration of various vehicles and
equipment used by the Department,

Vacation Retreat

After several years of disappoint-
ments, it now seems that the De-
partment of Sanitation employees
are going to get a vacation retreat
in the country, A contract to buy
the Arthur B. Duel estate at Pawl-
ing, N. ¥., has been signed by de-
partment officials and the way seems
clear to close the deal, and begin
making arangements to have the re-
treat in operation by July 1,

Gives Time for Study to Future Asst. Foremen

The Duel estate includes 1,100
acres and a number of buildings
which can be used for housing and
recreational facilities. The depart-
ment will build additional dwellings
and guest houses.

Among other things the estate in-
cludes “Big Whaley and le
Whaley lakes, which are, respecs
tively, two miles and one and a halt
miles long.

A considerable part of the prop-
erty is laid out as bridle path and
it is possible to ride continously for
25 miles on one trail.

Previous attempts of the employees
to obtain a summer vacation place
were thwarted by community officials
who feared the sudden influx of
scores of families for weekends and
vacation periods,

the National Civil Service Reform

sioner William Hodson, restrain-

retain their jobs, recently lost still
another round when the Supreme
Court ordered them replaced by
eligibles from the Civil Service list
for Social Investigator. Undaunted,
they applied, through their attorney
Menahem Stim, for a stay before the
Appellate Division against the lower
court's order, Argument on this
latest action {s expected this weel.
Bills May Save Jobs
Meantime, two bills passed by the
legislature and sent to the Governor
would retain the veterans in their

jobs, One provides that a veteran
in a temporary or provisional job
cannot be dismissed except ‘on
charges and after a hearing. The
other would continue the social in-
vestigator veterans in their jobs
until June 30, 1948, at which time
they would have an opportunity to
participate in competitive tests for
the position.

Following passage of the measures,
Richard Welling wrote a letter to
Governor Lehman, urging an execu-
tive veto of the bills, and vigorously
protesting against their passage.

Training Program to Be Expanded

$35,000 Will Be Available July |

New York City’s training pro-
gram for its employees will be
expanded three-fold beginning
July 1 under funds authorized in
Mayor LaGuardia’s new budget
and otherwise obtainable. Alto-
gether, funds totaling $35,000
will be available from city, state
and federal funds to expand the
training program, intensify the
present types of training, and
bring new departments under the
plan,

At the same time there Is an ex-
cellent possibility that a huge new
defense training program, operated
entirely by federal funds, will
shortly be authorized and initiated.

Officials of the Municipal Civil
Service Commission and the Meyor’s
Council for Public Service Training
have been making frequent trips to

Washington buttonholing important |
army, navy, education, and defense |

officials to point out the need for
this type of instruction. If such a
program goes through it will have a
two-fold purpose: first, it will train

certain groups of employees in

purely emergency duties, such as
sefety and first aid instructions for
hospital and health department em-
ployees, and similar workers; and
secondly, by training lower grade
employees to do higher grade jobs
which will be necessary as the de-
fense program siphons off profes-
sional, sub-professional, and skilled
trade men and women.

Even if nothing happens on the
federelly-financed defense training,
New York City will train at least
20,000 of its workers next year.

‘This expansion of funds and ta-
cilities will make possible a more
concentrated type of training. For
example, in the Department of Sani-
tation, training courses are now be-

Enginemen Ask Permi

over this week for further study by
the Municipal Civil Service Commis-

ing given to a combined group of
2,500. Next year it will be possible
to hold lectures more frequently and
for smaller groups of men.

Sanitation
Men Learn
About Landfills

Its first two lectures a huge
success, the sanitation training
course held at Hunter College
every Tuesday evening launches
into one of the most important of
its subjects on Tuesday, April 8.
It's a subject which only a few
years aroused furious controversy
throughout the city, but which
has since indicated its value,
Title: Landfills,

Lecturer is Albert J. Lizee, Assist-
ant to the Comn His com-
ments are the r » ASSO
ciation with Commissioner William
B. Carey, who is an expert in land~
fills. Commissioner Lizee’s lecture

-contalhs such material as the follow-

ing:
Two Disposal Methods

“Two methods of disposal are in
general use—incineration and
fll,

land-
Incineration involved the haul
erial to a centrally located

then burning all the
combustible matter, There still re-
mains the necessity of disposing of

incinerator ash, It can readily be
seen that the cost of large inciner-
ators, plus the cost of operation and
final disposal, makes this an expen
sive method of handling tremendous
quantities of refuse, On the other
hand, landfills require only a single
handling of the refuse, with the con-
sequent saving in cost. The Depart-
ment of S tion has concluded
that refuse disposal by incineration
costs more than four times as much
as by the landfill methods,

“The personnel and equipment re-
quired for a typical landfill operation

include the following:
“Personnel: Foreman, Assistant
Foremen, drag-line operators and

oilers, tractor operators, truck driy-
ers and labore

“Equipment: Drag-line evacuating
machine, tractors and bulldozers,
road graders, crawler traction dump
wagons, dump tr and chemical
spraying equipment, The two major
items are the drag-lines and the
tractor bulldozers,"

In this detailed manner, Commis-
sioner Lizee's.lecture covers in full
every phase of landfill operation, in«
cluding a description of the new
“strip filling system." The interest-
ing point {s made that, in the course
of filling operations, 120 to 140 acres
of marsh or other waste land is re-
claimed and made available to New
York City each year,’

Commissioner Lizee's lecture fol-
lowed a whole series of last week:
“Planning,” by Assistant Engineer
Andrew Biagint; ‘Truck Measuring,”
by District Superintendent Sherwood
K. Basil; “Safety,” by Director of
Safety Elisha S, Chapin, and ‘Snow
Removal,” by District Superintends

Study Place Changed

The study sessions for Manhattan
sanitation men will be held at a new
school, beginning this week, Tt
discussion meetings have been trans=
ferred from Textile High School to
Manhattan High for Vocational
‘Trades, at 15th Street and 2d Av

And in order to give mer
the training course a bet
the Civil Service Commission has
shoved up the date for the Assistant
Foreman exam to July 19. This gives
the men more time to study.

‘The LEADER will keep sanitation
men fully informed of all matters
concerning this course and the come

ing exam,

Young Civil Service men in
New York City, no less than their
colleagues in other walks of life,
are going into varlous branches
of the nation’s armed forces, A
survey by The Leaver early this
week showed that a total of 717
men have either volunteered,
been ordered into the army or
navy from reserve groups, or
have been drafted, The vast ma-
jority were in reserve groups.

All city departments are required
to report the departure of their em-
ployees for military duty on special
forms to the Municipal Civil Service
Commission. Inasmuch as a delay
occurs before these reports are sub-
mitted and tabulated, the, actual

sion,

Meantime, the city is holding up
the salary differential checks for em+

lowing a decision by Justice Deyo of
Broome County, who held the State
Military Law unconstitutional. ‘This
decision is being appealed before the
Appellate Division and undoubtedly
will be carried to the Court of Ap-
peals, eventually, ‘This will mean
that a final ruling will not be handed
down for at least two weeks,

‘The salary checks normally due to
reservists will be held in escrow for
them until a decision clarifies the
problem,

All attempts to give bonuses to

State Trooper
Tests Continue

With the offices of the Division of
State Police in the Capital at Albany
completely painted, physical exams
for State Trooper candidates start
again Tuesday morning, April 8,
after a lapse of three weeks. Those
who passed the written last fall and
whose last names begin with Q, R.

One more group will be called,
probably next week, at which time
exams will be given for all those
who postponed original appoint-
ments,

The physical test is similar to the
medical exam for entrance into the
army, It determines if a candidate
has met the physical requirements
set for the test, and if he is in ex-
cellent physical shape It is not a
physical in the sense that New York

Unhappy Budget

HE Mayor's budget won't make yery many Civil
J Service employees happy.

Hizzoner knows it, and practically admits as
much in his message. But the admission doesn’t help
restore promotion opportunities or fill vacancies or
provide just salaries.

Here are some of the things we don’t like about the
Mayor's budget.

He knocked out the Sanitation Department's request
for 200 additional men, The Department needs them
sorely.

He knocked out an increase of $50 in the salary of
Jaborers in the Borough President's office. There can't
be any doubt that the laborers should be getting far
more than a $50-a-year increase to bring them up to
the earning standards of others doing comparable
work,

He did nothing about granting per annum pay to all
the many workers who live in constant jeopardy be-
cause of their per diem status,

While he granted raises— well-deserved onés — to
nurses and others in the Department of Hospitals, he
refused to grant a $60 increase to those hard-worked,
underpaid employees, the hospital helpers and at-
tendants.

He eliminated 91 clerk vacancies in the Police De-
partment, thus adding a heavy burden to that depart-
ment.

He made no provision for bringing the Police and
Fire Departments to full strength, though the necessity
for complete staffing of these departments has been
apparent to every New Yorker for years,

He cut down the health services of New York City by
slashing the total number of sessions which the city’s
competent-but-poorly-treated physicians and dentists
could attend. This on top of his action last year plac-
ing the medical men upon a precarious day-to-day
status,

He did nothing to man the playgrounds and parks
with more people, though it is clear that the city needs
more employees for these vital recreational services,

He reduced the city’s library service—already hob-
bling badly—still further, by eliminating vacancies and
refusing to better the conditions of present employees.

The total budget is smaller than last year’s, and the
few raises to Sanitation men, nurses, and hospital
workers don't offset the reduced promotion oppor-
tunities, the swollen burden of work upon all employees
as a result of unfilled vacancies; nor do they assuage
the chilled hopes of conscientious Civil Service em-
ployees who see looming a big void in their pockets as
the cost of living goes up.

Fortunately, the final clamp hasn't gone down yet.
Every item in the budget has to pass the scrutiny of
the Board of Estimate before final decision, But look
what's happening there: the august Board has set a
single day—April 16—for public hearings on the
budget. Is the intent to limit discussion? In past
years, several days were allowed.

After the Board of Estimate gets through with it, the
budget goes to the City Council, which has the curious
power to reduce—but not to expand—the items in-
volved. :

In the meantime, Civil Service employees must work
fast to make themselves heard. They have two tasks
before them: (1) the minor one of seeing that their
views are not sluffed off in a one-day hearing; (2) the
major one of putting up a fight for just conditions.

Director of Public Assistance
ED RHATIGAN. He's only. 31,
married, a Notre Dame man, has a
degree in journalism, studied at the
New York School of Social Work,
held various supervisory social work
jobs. Director of Camp Hayes in
1931, he acted as forum and discus-
sion leader at Greenwich House the
following two years, In 1934, he was
appointed Field Representative of
the State TERA, a post he resigned
to assume an assistant directorship
in the old Emergency Relief Bureau.
In 1936, Ed left for the State Depart-
ment of Social Welfare. Within a
few months he was offered the post
of Assistant Executive Director of
Public Assistance. Commissioner
Hodson offered him the directorship
of the Bureau of Public Assistance
in the NYC Department of Welfare—
and that brings us up-to-date,
Husky, good looking, the All-
American type, young Rahtigan

HENRY J, ROSNER. Hank has
just entered his thirties, another
youngster in a key executive job, He
was the only person to make the
Civil Service list for his job. Be-
lieve us—he’s that good. Friendly,
he has at the same time a reputation
for penetrating insight and sound
judgment. He knows public assist
ance like the palm of his own hand.
Among his degrees is a law diploma.
He's been admitted to the New York
Bar, In City College he was a star
athlete as well as a star orator.

State Should Observe Wage Law:

Sirs: This is not an April Fool
missive, nor just a letter of com-
plaint. T would like to start a move-
ment of protest, if one is not already
in effect.

The Wages and Hours Law and
many other regulations were passed
to keep wages at a good standard in
private and commercial employment,
"Therefore why does the government
itself try to cheat and evade its laws?

I refer to the State clerical list
being canvassed . for _ temporary
workers, with higher-grade positions
being offered at much less than the
minimum salary for the lowest
grade, I passed the Assistant and
Senior exams. A short time ago I
received an inquiry as to whether
T'd accept a tempotary Assistant job
at $700 in Albany, ‘The Junior Clerk
job commands $900 minimum.

The weekly salary is from $13.85
to $14.50, depending on whether the
amount ‘is divided by number of
weeks per year or of months. How
can the State Commission ask any-
one to travel to a distance from
home, lack all its money-saving con-
veniences, and lively decently at that
amount? ate

E, S. raises a problem that has puz-
zled State officials for years. The
salary offered is all that the budget
allows for the work, yet eligibles
from cities other than Albany must
be canvassed, One possible solution
is to restrict low-paying Albany jobs
to residents of the Capital area, But
then persons on the list from other
cities, particularly New York City,
would protest.—Epitor.

Pharmacy Mixup?

Sirs: In‘the April 1st issue of the
Cin. Service Leaver, an announce-
ment was published to the effect that
the State Civil Service Commission
is preparing to give an examination

for Pharmacist, State and County
Departments and Institutions,

You may recall that a list was
established in December, 1938, con-
taining 600 successful candidates who
participated in an examination for
Senior Drug Clerk, Department of
Welfare, which also’ comes under the
heading’ of State and County De-
partments and Institutions,

Since the aforementioned list was
established, a period of two years
and four months, only two appoint-
ments have been made trom the list
of 600 eligibles.

The irony of the whole situation is
that only pharmacists were per-
mitted to take the exam. Now we

. find that another exam for Pharma-

cist is being given for the same posi-

tion, while 598 pharmacists are
ing for appointment.

‘rough savings effected in the current*budget and not reflected in the
new budget, provision has been made for the purchase of 295 new radio
cars and trucks and 95 motorcycles, some of them with sidecars.

“Belter supervision of the uniformed force has been made possible by
the addition of a number. of new commanding officers including three
assistant chief inspectors, three deputy chief inspectors and 10 captains.

All in all, the department in the coming fiscal year will have a budget
totaling $63,036,777.81. ‘This appears to be about $898,000 less than the
department had in the current budget, but actually through the use of
savings in the current budget for equipment and for bolstering pension
funds, the decrease is only in the neighborhood of $200,000.

his reduced estimate of cost is based upon the expectation that the
Court of Appeals will sustain the Police Commissioner's plan for getting
all uniformed police officers on regular police duty, and will permit him
to relieve some 265 officers, almost all of them sergeants, from switch-
board work, by allowing him to employ trainee patrolmen for that pur-
Pose, About $700,000 worth of additional police protection will thus be
put on the streets of the city if a favorable decision comes down.”

Sergeant Test Date Changed

In response to a number of requests from Catholic and Protestant or-
fnizations, the date for the promotion exam to Sergeant has been changed
‘0 Saturday, June 14, instead of Sunday, June 15.

Also, this column has learned that the test will be held in one session.
Conferences between officials of the Civil Service Commission and Police
Commissioner Valentine established the fact that it would be possible to
sive the exam at one session, rather than two,

‘The Commission is still undecided about where to give the test, and is

The Voice

Thursday, the editorial quiet of
The Leaven’s inner sanctum was dis-
turbed by a Voice, The Voice was
deep, resonant, dramctic. The Voice
said..."My strength is as the
strength of ten...”

“I know,” the editor said without
turning to see who owned the Voice.
“Because your heart is pure....”

“No,” the Voice said, “because I
passed the last Civil Service exami-
nation for Fireman, in the Fire De-
partment...”

Just then a sharp high-pitched

siren screamed and before the
editor could turn around, the Voice
was gone,

In the afternoon a Committee of
Three awaited the editor's return
from lunch.

“Don't tell me,” the editor moaned.
“You're supermen.”

That's right, the Committee of

“Superman,” the editor said.

Last night the editor got his first

7 em. by a loud crashing noise, the
rasping, discordant sounds familiar
to all New Yorkers whose garbage
and ashes ere collected early. Mak-
ing a mental note to call up Com-
missioner Carey, the editor hopped
out of bed, leaned out the window
and yelled, “Hey, you guys, cut that

Question, Please?

by H. ELIOT KAPLAN

85 Is Top Age for

Upstate Cop Appointments

F, L.—The age limit for police
appointments in the village and
town services within Westchester,
and Erie Countie:
thirty-five years. According to a
ruling of the State Civil Service
Commission an eligible on the list
who reaches the age of thirty-five
before he has been reached for
certification for appointment is
dropped from the list.

Which College
Makes No Difference

L. L, B—The Civil Service Com-
missions do not give any special
or added credits in examinations
based on the particular college or
university from which a degree
may have been granted, All who
obtain degrees for completed edu-
cationel courses of a similar char-
acter are granted the same con-
sideration, provided the institution
granting the degree is one that is
recognized by the Education De-
partment as maintaining the re-
quired ds, For example, a

lewyer who received his degree
from Columbia University Law
School is given no more educa-

tional credit than one who received
his degree from Harvard or Ford-
ham,

Preferred List for
Temporary Laborers

H. A.-—-The status of laborers
appointed as “temporaries” from
the auto truck drivers’ labor class
list was determined in the recent
case of Angelore vs, Kern, where
the court held that those who had
been appointed and employed for
more than a month prior to the
expiration of the list were entitled
to go on a preferred labor list for
temporary eppointments,

No Preference
To Married Men
B. L. B.—There is no preference

accorded to married men over
single men or women in civil serv-
ice appointments,

CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

the Ramspeck Law who have
pessed a recent exam for their job
(or one like it) will not be re-
quired to pass a further qualify-
ing test, The determination as to
whether the examination was
equivalent or appropriate will be
in the discretion of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission, It is doubtful, for
example, whether one who has
passed the test for investigator,
custom patrol, will be deemed to
have qualified in @ test appropriate
for deputy collector of internal
revenue. It is possible that the
Commission may stretch a point or
two, The six months’ service re-
quired under the Ramspeck Law
is six months’ of service prior to
recommendation for classification,
it is understood,

Transfer
Job I
A.

i to Lower

lan’t Easy

R—I feel quite certain that
the Federal Commission will not
authorize your exchanging your
position of a classified laborer with
that of a clerk in another depart-
ment or in the same agency, even
if you ere willing to give up your
position at $1,600 for a clerical one
at $1,200. It is not a question
whether some clerk might be will-
ing to exchange positions with you
for the added salary. The Com-
mission will not authorize the
transfer of an employee from one
position to another unless the
qualifications for the two positions
are equivalent, that is, the tests
similar in scope.

Vets and Salaries

J. A, R—A disabled veteran is
not entitled to receive the highest
ar

paid within the grade of his
on as & matter of right, The
t
to determine what each employee's
salary may be fixed at within the
grade, whether the employee is a
veteran or non-veteran, In the
event of a vacancy occurring In e&
higher paid position within the
grade a disabled veteran employed
in the department in the same
ie need not be given the higher
ary, (In the state service, the
Feld-Hamilton law determines the
salary increments within the grade
based on years of service. This

“Appropriate” Test Will Do
Under Ramspeck Act

W. T. H.—Employees recom-
mended for sified status under

does pot apply to positions in the

city service) Increases of salary
within the grade are not deemed
to be promotions requiring com-
petitive tests.

Teachers In or Out
Of Civil Service? \

M. A. H.—Teachers in the public
schools are, of course, in the Civil
Service, although they are not sub-
ject to the Civil Service law and
tules, Teachers in New York City,
Buffalo and Rochester are ap-
pointed after competitive examina~
tions held under the education law.
The Civil Service Commissions
have no jurisdiction over teacher
tests.

Demotion

P. 0. T—A demotion for dis-
ciplinary reasons (as distinguished
from a reduction in grade or rank
because of abolition of the higher
grade position), is equivalent to a
removal and is subject to the re-
strictions against dismissals trom
the service as provided by Section
22 of the Civil Service Law. De-
motions due to abolition of posi-
tions in higher grades are lay-offs
or suspensions governed by Sec-
tion 31 of that law,

Can’t Waive Rights

F. Q—Appointing officials or
their deputies may not require em-
ployees or eligibles to sign any
weivers of their Civil Service
rights, This is prohibited by the
Civil Service law.

Holidays

H. M, S:_ Employees of the De-
partment of Hospitals are entitled
to an Absence Allowance of one
day for each month of service. The
Jewish religious holidays of Rosh
Hashonah (second day) and the
Passover can be taken off with pay
but they are charged against the
absence allowance, The religious
holidays of Rosh Hashonah (first
day), Yom Kipper, Good Friday
and Easter Sunday can be taken
off with pay and are not charged
against the absence allowance, The
Rules and Regulations of the De-
pattment of Hospitals containing
these provisions can be examined
in the office of the Secretary,
Dept. of Hospitals, 125 Worth

For Attendant Eligibles

Here are the remaining excerpts
trom the information memo prepared
by the Civil Service Department for
eligibles on the Hospital Attendant

Pension Deductions

After six months service, State em-
ployees are required to b
bers of the retirement
means a fixed deduction, ranging
from $2 to $4 a month, from each
check, on the basis of age on enter-
ing the system and salary. The. popu-
Jar plan provides retirement at 60,
By making larger payments, how-
ever, the employee may retire at 55.
It an employee resigns from the serv-
{ce, his contributions are returned to
him,

Raises in Salary

Starting et a pay of $54, salary is
Increased $4 every six months of

tinuous, ‘The maximum in this posi-
tion is $66 a month,

In addition to salary increases,
there are the following monthly pay-

Persons Already Serving As Pern

nent Attendants

Such persons xecepting new ap-
pointments from the eligible list will
be certified ct $54 a month and main-
tenance. If such persons change
from one institution to another by
transfer, they can retain thelr cur-
rent rates of pay.

Increments

Although the Legislature did noth-
ing directly on the matter of includ-
ing Mental Hygiene employees under
the Feld-Hamilton incremnt law, in-
directly something very important

jdid heppen, In the supplementary
budget $5,000 is appropriated to the
Budget Director for a survey of ex-
actly what It would cost to bring
the institution employees under, Two
favorable possibilities now exist; the
increments may be provided in the
1942-43 budget; a bill to do the job
may be approved by the 1942 Legis-
lature, It all depends on what the
Budget Director finds,

Pressure

Delegates from the various chap-
ters of the Association were in Al-
bany last week on the matter of

Mental Hygiene legislation, They
button-holed legislators at Monday
night's session, then attended a

luncheon in the DeWitt Clinton Hotel
as the guests of Ter Bush and Powell,

bills that got through;

Ehrlich bill—Providing employees

| after one year's service with "reason-
able” sick leave with pay,

Barrett bill—Extending the eight
hour day, six-day week to employees
who protect and guard buildings and

| grounds of State institutions,
|

Last-Minute &
| Governor Lehman's _ last-minute
|appeal for Increased facilities for |

| mental patients in the State fell by
the wayside when the Legislature |
refused to do anything with his pro-
possle prion, to! nalourament, (calle
ing attention to the shortage of 9,000
beds, Lehman urged passoge of three
| bills: to submit a $50,000,000 bond is-
sue to the people on Election Day
for the erection of new institutions;
|to, provide $200,000 for repairs to

Manhattan State Hospital on Ward’s

You
and [

by May Andres Healy

May Andres Healy is granted the widest latitude
in expressing her views. Her opinions do not
necessarily represent the views of The Leader.

NOTHER legislative session is over, And again the teachers have
been successful in protecting their interests against blocks of poli-
ticians who would rob them of everything for which they have

battled (and won) over the past 50 years.

Not only were the teachers victorious in keeping what they had, but
they were instrumental in getting the Erlich Bill passed, a measure which
provides state aid for kindergartens, The bill probably will be signed by
the Governor within 30 days, thereby ending a seven-year fight for aid to
kindergartens,

Parents, churchmen, civic groups and press all joined forces to convince
the legislators that kindergartens are an essential part of the school
them and that state aid is necessary to help maintain them,

The Joint Committee of Teachers Organizations asked the legislature
to provide the differential in pay for teachers called to colors under the
Selective Service Act, but the legislature did not see fit to make that
provision, It, however, passed the Ostertag Bill which provides for pen-
sion and seniority rights for drafted teachers.

Assaults on Tenure
As in the past few years assaults on teachers’ tenure and pension rights
were launched, in the closing ¢ of the session, Senator Frederic R.
Coudert, Jr., sponsored a bill to mandate teachers’ retirement at 65 years
of age, but the teachers maintained that the bill would deprive teachers
of pension benefits now assured them under the contractual pension pro-
vision of the state constitution,

A bitter fight was the result of
Coudert's bill, but through their p

the teachers’ opposition to Senator
stent efforts the bill was overwhelm-
ingly defeated in the Assembly afte: ing the Senate by a slim margin.
“Ridicule” Legislation

We resent that type of legislation as it attempts to hold teachers up to
ridicule. Nobody should be permitted to be held up to censure just be-
cause he or she has grown old as long as he is rendering efficient service,
Teachers, like @ll others, should be permitted to work in accordance with
the laws. We resent being picked as a class for lesser benefits while
others being paid from public funds are allowed to continue until 70
years of age.

The substitute teachers, who joined with Coudert in fighting for his

we maintain, however, would not have happened, Mayor LaGuardi
tecent slash of the educational budget proved that more consolidations
will be made and that no new appointments are possible.

Over 800 teachers were retired during the past year and every vacancy
was consolidated. This is not the solution for the substitute teacher.

Last week I explained to you the dangers of the amendment introduced
by Coudert, which would have brought teachers under city control. 'This
bill died in committee. We have not heard the end of the amendment,
however, because the home-rulers will be active at the next session of the
legislature, It is up to parents and teachers and all those interested in
the future of education to present a solid front against interests who have
every intention of placing education on the block,

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER _

The Mayor's Budget Report

What It Means to Civil Service Employees and Eligibles

Following are excerpts from the Mayor's budget report of spe-
cial interest to employees and eligibles. If you work for New York
City, if you're on an eligible list, you should read this report care-
fully. Several departments, among them the Board of Transpor-
tation, are not mentioned below. The reason is that, while the
Mayor discussed tax and debt matters of concern to these depart-
ments, his message said nothing to change or to clarify the posi-

tion of employees.

The Mayor's message is one of the most im-

portant in years. Employees who intend to do something about
it should get ready now to present their case before the Board of
Estimate on Wednesday, April 16.

ditional costs by reason of mandatory

MAYOR LaGUARDIA

While it has been necessary to| policy of preceding years, I have
{nsist upon drastic economies in| proposed no such increases in the

city expenditures
tain’ groups of c!
whom every consideration of de-
cency and fairness dictates the
provision of certain small salary
increases. I have given these to
the extent possible, notably an-
other $60 a year increase to hos-
pi nurses who have completed
their second year of city service,
an increase of $60 for cleaners in
the Department of Public Works
who have completed a year of
service, and an Increase of $60
for Sanitation Men, Class A, to
bring them up to and merge them
with Sanitation Men, Class B.

As to the hospital situation, the
nurses have been underpaid for
many years in the light of the work
which they do and in comparison
with salaries paid elsewhere. It is
only right that the city should bring
those salaries up to a decent level as
rapidly as it can, But in addition
there is the practical consideration
this year that with the salaries
pay we are finding difficulty
in getting nurses, and that difficulty
ill continue as the United States
Government draws them away from
us

In previous years I initiated a
series of semi-annual increments of
$30 each for two years for the still
lower paid.hospital helpers and at-
nd I wish that I might
ided for a third year. The
is that the numbers in-
volved rge that the sums
required to meet these increases be-
come impossible to provide, The
additional increments for the nurses
alone, together with continuance of

two years increments for other
groups, will cost us $306,105 next
year,

As to the cleaners in Public Works,
some of them have been paid les
than the rate for similar work i
private industry, and they certainly
should be brought to this level in

return for continued service with
the city. The cost of this increment
fs $20,280.

In the Sanitation Dept, the work
done by the Sanitation Men, Class
A, ls comparable in difficulty with
that of the Sanitation Men, Class
B. In addition, the department
finds that it can organize its forces
with greater efficiency if it has the
power to interchange the present
Class A and B men, Accordingly,
I have provided th. $60 necessary
to merge the two groups. The
total cost is $26,520.

These three increases aggregate

$352,905,
‘There is another group of salary
increases which deserve equal con-
sideration, but which do not appear
in the proposed new budget. They
are increases for employees who,
during the year, have assumed new
and important responsibilities, usual-
ly taking the place of retired em-
ployees drawing much higher sal
aries, and whose value to the city
must be recognized by increased
compensation if the morale of the
whole organization is not to be de-
stroyed,
inet

| because the

, there are cer-| new budget, but as money has be-
y employees for | come available during the year from

the economies which we have insti-
tuted, I have approved a limited
number of modest increases for
these employees. They should have
been larger and many more em-
ployees should have been included,
and if and when money becomes
available during the balance of this
year, I shall continue this policy.
The ‘increases to which I refer ap-
pear as modifications of the current
budget.

Dept. of Education

In the regular grades and
of the elementary schools I was
fronted with the fact that next fall
would see a decrease of the ele-
mentary register to 525,000 and in
the spring to 506,000, and that on
the basis of the present average
class size, which is by far the lowest
in the records of the Board of Edu-
cation in recent years, there would
be a large excess of elementary
teachers in the fall and a still
one in the spring term. I was
willing to dismiss these teachers, but
neither was I able in the light of the
existing financial situation to con-
tinue the schedule requested by the
Board of Education, I have there-
fore provided in my recommenda-
tions that the excess teachers shall
be used at their existing salaries to
teach in place of others who are on
long term leaves of absence and on
sabbatical leaves.
the cost of elementary instruction
will result,

The same situation exists in the
day high schools, and I recommend
the same solution.

Ihave gone slong with the request
ot the Board of Education for the
appropriation for junior high schools
me situation does not
exist there, While the proportion of
teachers in respect to resigters will
increase next year, that increase is
justified because the average cl:
size in junior high schools is alto-
gether too large and ought to be re-
duced,

In the vocational high schools a
further increase in registration is
anticipated, and I have provided in
my recommendations for a transfer
of 100 teachers from the day high
schools to the vocational high schools
to provide for this increase.

‘The Board of Education itself
reduced its request for the number
of teachers-In-training in the day
high schools, but I have reduced it
further because it Is perfectly ev
dent that with the decrease
register and the necessity of elim
nating all vacancies in the teach-
ing staff as they occur, there
simply will be no positions for
graduates from these teacher-in-
training positions, and I will not
be a party to their deception by
holding out to them a false hope
of employment,

With the decrease in expenditure
for other educational activities, I
have felt justified in continuing and,
indeed, increasing slightly the pro-
vision for community centers. I

ses
on-

None of them are in the | hawe not, however, felt justified in
ment grades, Following my | restoring the day classes for adults

A large saving in}

I have also recommended a de-
crease in expenditure in the evening
elementary and evening high schools.
|The decrease in the evening ele-
mentary schools is minor and is
based upon the actual and pros-
| pective register, That in the evening
schools is substantial. It is partially
based upon the register and the re-
quest of the Board of Education for
a number of teachers which seems
unjustified. But the principal re-
duction is due to the fact that the
Board of Education requested an ap-
| propriation based upon a payment
of $7.50 per session, whereas, in fact,
they were paying to the @rge ma-
jority only $6 per session.

| For playgrounds and summer
schools I have recommended slightly
more than the amount spent during
the last year, but considerably less
than the Board of Education asks.
1 reduced this amount last year be-
cause of obvious overstaffing of
these facilities, and no reason has
been presented to me for restoring
that overstaffing.

In the Bureau of Attendance I
have recommended the elimination
ot vacancies, as there is no reason
| why this Bureau should not be re~
duced proportionately to the reduc-
| tion in registration.

There have been certain elimina-
tions of vacancies in the administra
tive force. I am certain that reor-
ganization and economies will absorb
| the reduction without impairing the

service,

_ Board. of Higher
Education

I made one saving in this bydget
| about which I am sure I will hear
for a long time to come. From the
time I first became connected with
the City government, and my serv-
lice dates back to 1920, when I be-
|came President of the Board of
| Aldermen, I have heard of plans for
the discontinuance of Townsend
Harris High Schol. Through all the
years, however, no one dared brave
the sentimental hue and cry sure to
follow any such step. I, too, have
hesitated. ‘The only way to abolish |
an activity is to do it. It will be|
noted that the new budget reduces
the cost of Townsend Harris High

and manufacture of sera, the typing
of pneumonia, tests for syphilis and
gonorrhea and many other routine
functions in keeping with the best
practices in curative and preventive
medicine,

Welfare and Child
Welfare

The budget provides for the con-
templated transfer of the functions
and jurisdiction of the activities of
the Board of Child Welfare to the
Dept. of Welfare.

It is my intention to continue the
present Board of Child Welfare as
an advisoty board during the re-
mainder of the terms of each of the
present members of that Board.
The merger will result, I am sure,
in more uniform and efficient ad-
ministration and at the same time
will effectuate some economy which
I now estimate as at least 10 percent
of the cost of administering the
Board of Child Welfare.

Anyone even slightly familiar with
the administration of relief generally
will recognize that in a very large
number of the cases there is in over-
lapping of jurisdiction in the same
family.

‘The Dept. of Welfare's overall
budget for the coming fiscal year,
including the absorption of the
Board of Child Welfare and funds
from all sources, will be $41,638,-
402.57. This is an overall decrease
of $745,842.38 from the total current
budgets of the Dept. of Welfare and
the Board of Child Welfare, despite
the fact that we made provisions for
substantial increases in cost for the
care of the aged and blind,

Fire Dept.

The Fire Dept. will have a budget
of $36,588,574.85, This is an increase
of $786,715.01 over the current bud-
get. It should be noted that the
present budget does not provide for
additional necessary equipment for
this department in the event of war,
Complete plans have been made and
essential inventories of necessary
equipment in that event have been
prepared. The department knows
exactly what it will need if the
worst happens, Such plans call for

School by $100,000. This is the first
step toward its complete discontinu- |
ance, es

| Dept. of Hospitals

| In 1934 there were 10,863 direct
patient care employees handling 17,-
551 patients; in January of 1942 there
will be 20,045 such employees caring
for 20,673’ patients.

Working conditions prior to 1934 |
Were bad. Salaries were of the low-
Politicians dabbled in hospital
institutions merely as sources of
| patronage. The public was forgot-
ten. Favoritism was rife.
| Today all of that sorry picture is
a thing of the past. Nurses are on
an eight-hour day, as well as the
| personnel of the entire department.
| There are mandatory increments,
|higher salaries, better standards,
|better morale, and better working
conditions generally.

Health Dept.

|. The Health Dept. will have a tax

levy budget of $4,547,450.67. This is
| $25,737.03 more than the depart-
| ment’s current budget.

A new item appears in this bud-
get. There is an appropriation of
$100,000 for the Public Health Re-
search Institute of the City of New
York. This institute will be a
scientific, non-profit organization,
entirely controlled by The City of
New York through its Health
Dept. It will have a staff of scien-
tists to carry on scientific research
work in the preventive and other
fields of medicine, This staf will
cooperate with similar scientific in-
stitutes throughout the country,

Within the last few years the City
constructed and now operates one
of the most modern laboratories in
the country. Right now, the entire
time of the present staff is occupied
in keeping abreast of routine work,
This work includes the preparation

additional equipment suited for war
purposes, and necessary precaution-
ary protection against fire resulting
from conditions under modern war-

|fare, to the extent of slightly over

$16,000,000. Additional hose has been

| provided for the department to meet

experimental wartime conditions,
but the amount is almost insignifi-
cant when compared to what actual-
ly would be necessary in the event
of war.

Dept. of Sanitation

It has been my feeling as well as
that of the Commissioner of Sanita-
tion that there should be no differen-
tiation between those employees
known as Dump Laborers or Sanita-
tion Man “A” and those known as
Sweepers or Sanitation Man “B.” 1,
therefore, have provided in this bud-
get that the 442 Sanitation “A” Men
now getting $1,860 shall be raised to
the $1,920 level paid_to Sanitation
“B" Men.

I have discussed this situation
with the Civil Service Commission
and have been assured by the Com-
mission that a reclassification resolu-
tion will be passed before July 1 to
permit the proposed equalization.
In addition, I have secured assur-
ances from the Commission that the
8,000 men on the existing eligible
list for Sanitation Man “A” will be
permitted appointment to Sanitation
Man “B,” whenever vacancies occur,
upon their proving their ability to
operate automofive equipment.

Further, in the new budget, op-
portunities for appointment from
this eligible list have been widened
by the creation of three classes of

Junior Sanitation Man for which

Positions the same eligible list will

be appropriate,

Park Dept.

I don't claim by any manner of
means that we have been at all lib-
eral. However, it is a fact that the
Park Dept, budget has been permit-
ted to double since 1934, Within the
new budget is absorbed over $100,000
in mandatory increments, and pro-
vision for 182 new positions totaling
about $250,000 for the staffing of 60

new playgrounds and seryin,
i

parkway mileage.

Law Dept.

Although the Law Dept, is trying
from two to three times as many
cases as it did annually prior to 1934,
and although it has absorbed ap-
proximately $115,000 in mandatory
increments since 1937, it will have a
budget in the fiscal year of 1941-42
closely approximating that of ten
years ago.

Because of a Charter requirement

shifting charges formerly made
against assessment and other funds
from these funds to the tax levy
budget, the budget totals for this
department do not present a true pic-
ture of the change between the new
budget and the current 1940-41 bud-
get.

This department is involved

County Offices

There has been very little change
made in the new budget for the
County Offices. Savings were et-
fected where possible, but manda-
tory restrictions prevented me from
making any substantial deductions.

In the office of the Sheriff of Kings

in

was employed an auctioneer at $5,000 | Municipal Court, Court of Special
per year whose services resulted in | Sessions and the Magistrates’ Courts

auction fees being returned to the |are concerned.

I did drop one

City Treasury during the year 1940 | magistracy to make up for the addi-

totaling only $369. All other sheriffs |
in the City, I found, hire auctionee:
gn the established percentage bs

is |

to conduct these sales of attached |
| tions, however, following an inten-

property.

‘This position is mandatory and the
Sheriff of Kings has a perfect legal |
right to make an appointment at the |
salary of $5,000. However, I felt that |
when he looked into all the facts the
Sheriff would agree with me that
this was hardly sound business, so
I dropped the position from the new
budget.

A serious shortage of account-
ants and auditors developed dur-
ing World War 1. Thousands of
accountants have been hired by
Government departments since
the war emergency last summer,
and U, 8, Civil Service Commis-
sion officials recently made a
study to determine whether an-
other shortage will.appear during
World War 2,

The officials don't believe it will,
but they plan to speed up changes so
they will be better able to produce
accountants when the departments
call for them, Frankly, the War De-
partment has been hiring hundreds
of accountants in the fleld without
Civil Service status.

First among the Commission's
plans is to set up new registers for
accounting and auditing test given
some weeks ago, The papers are be-
ing graded in a rush. and it is planned
to set up the registers within six
weeks,

Thirty-flve thousand applied for
the accounting and auditing assistant

jobs, which pay $1,800, The Commis-
sion anticipates an eligible list of
15,000. More than 16,000 applied for
the account and auditor exam—there
were five grades, with salaries rang-
ing from $2,600 to $3,800—and the
Commission believes around 6,000
will pass the test,

The Commission is certifying ac-
countants from about a dozen regis-
ters now, some of them old and of
little use, and when the new registers
are set up it plans to wipe out some
of the registers and possibly give
other exams.

‘The accounting and auditing aasist-
ant register which was set up in 1939
has been a failure, It has around
4,000 names on it and it will be
wiped out when the new registers
are set up under present plans,

Construction cost auditor registers,
set up last year, have about 1,750
eligibles—250 on the principal, 500
‘on the full grade, and 1,000 on the
Junior grade, ‘The register 1s active
and it will be continued,

‘The Junior income tax auditor reg-
ister, established in 1938, also will be
wiped out,

On the Screen

Gay new garb in the shop windows
only hints the epproach of Easter,
\but now the holiday season may be
declared officially here, for Radio
City Music Hall is presenting “Glory
of Easter” once again on its stage.
All in all, the entertainment at 50th

St. and 6th Ave. lives up to the
theatre's best Easter stai ‘ds, with
“That Hamilton Woman!" serving as

|the screen fare,

In this, history and Hollywood
combine to write a romance whose
pages are intertwined with the des-
tiny of the English Empiree Lady
Hamilton and Lord Nelson.are the
principals of this romence, portrayed
by a famous pair of modern lovers,
Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier,
The background is an England at as
momentous a time as the ‘Britain of
today, and the analegous situations
can't help but be noted,

“Pot o' Gold” is the new picture at
the Roxy Theatre, Its namesake
radio program's most important con-
tributions tp the film are the title
and Horace Heidt's orchestra. Which
is fortunate, for the film thus be-
comes, instead of 2 movie-ized radio
program, a tuneful and. lively musi-
cal film with a gay story gayly told
by Jimmy Stewart, Paulette Goddard
and Charles Winninger, The other
| interesting fact about “Pot o' Gold,”
which may excite the interest of the
curious is that it is James Roosevelt's
first Hollywood production, The
Roxy's stege show headlines Larry
Adler, the harmonica virtuoso,

At the Capital Theatre, one of the
screen's best bad men has returned
as “The Bad Man.” One of filmdom's
best good men also is in the cast.
These gentlemen are Wallace Beery
and Lionel Barrymore—now you
guess who is which!

Partisans for comedy and drama
will have their pick this week. For
the former, there will be the new
Bing Crosby-Bob Hope-Dorothy
Lamour film at the Paramount The-
atre, “Road to Zanzibar,” opening
tomorrow; and on Friday the Strand
Theatre will offer Bette Davis in
“The Great Lie.” The stage attrac- |
tions will be Benny Goodman's band
at the Paramount; Jimmy Dorsey,
with Bob Eberly and Helen O'Con-
nell, at the Strand,

Loew's State Theatre will pre-
sent one of its favorite sons, Joe E,
Lewis, as the vaudeville headliner,
along with “The Great Dictator” on
the screen, starting Thursday.
