provided by the county.

In her letter to Dr. Wenzl, Mrs.

Poston said;

As you requested we have oare-
fully, reconsidered the matter of
time off for employees organiza-
tion activities in the light of
statements made in your letter of
Feb. 6. We believe the policy set
forth in my January 5 statement
provides a sound basis for con-
tinuing employee-management re-
lations pending final determin-
ations as to negotiating units and
negotiating agents. My colleagues
on the Governor's negotiating
committee have agreed Yo and
strongly support this policy,

“As indicated to you previous-
ly, the January 5 statement was
not directed towards the Civil
Service Employees Assn. alone nor
was there any intention that the
policy should discriminate against
the CSEA. Nevertheless I recognize
that plans for your January 10
and 11 meetings were made prior
to January 5 and that some of
your delegates may have been in-
convenienced as a result of the
January 5 policy statement. In
recgnition of this problem we
have agreed to permit employees
who attended your canuary 10
and 11 meetings as delegates or
officers to do so without charge
to accumulated leave credit.

“IT would like to take this op-
portunity to again emphasize that
the policy stated in my January
5 memorandum does not apply to
attendance by employees at meet-
tings, conferences or negotiations
involving joint participation of
management and employees or
to time off pursuant to the pro-
visions of the executive order on
grievance, Employees are allow-
ed time off without charge to
leave credit for such purpose. Un-
fortunately this point seems to
have been overlooked or misun-
derstood by many employees.”

New Pay

Proposals

Are Due This Week

ALBANY — A “withdrawal of services” by State em-
ployees came with a hair’s breadth of being effected sometime
this week and was averted by an eleventh hour report that
Teaders of the State Legislature had definite plans to im-

prove on a pay proposal for State
workers made last week by Gov-
ernor Nelson A. Rockefeller.

At that, action on a work stop-
page was merely delayed ‘and
could most certainly take piace
on March 14 if disgruntled, dis-
satisfied and ‘disgusted’ State
employees do not feel they are go-
ing to get @ fair financial shake

the Civil Service Employees Assn
with the attendance of chapter
presidents of the organization
from throughout the State, it was
reported that the pressures for
strike-like action were so strong
that, at one point, it looked as
though some kind of work stop-

page would take place late this

week,

Because of a revocation of the
long-standing practice to allow
employees excused time off to at-
tend CSEA meetings, the session
was held on Washington's Birth-
day, a State holiday.

The local presidents, meeting
in conjunction with the State Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Employ-
ees Association, allegedly express-
ed great bitterness over Goyernor
Rockefeller’s eight percent, across-
the-board pay ralse, not only be-

tiations with CSEA.

One reaction was expressed by
a meeting of the Brooklyn State
Hospital chapter of the Employées
Association. Emil Impressa, chap-
‘ter president, reorted that not
only did more than 400 members
jam the hospital's assembly hall
to debate a withdrawal of services
but they voted unanimously for
such a work stoppage.

CSEA has been asking for a 20
percent, across-the-board wage
hike with a $1,000 minimum raise,
Negotiations with the Rockefel-
ler Administraton have stopped
dead pending the outcome of a
Court of Appeals case that will
decide whether or not the State

Board had the right to tell the

ing the Podell victory, was one
|of the issues that made that vic-
tory possible.

The Moss-covered Device

Dubin, early in his campaign, |
decided that an old moss-covered
device could be put to good use
once again, He announced he was
running not against Podell but
against “The Machine.” The
strategy backfired and if Dubin
had done his homework he might
have successfully attacked Stein-
gut any place except in Brooklyn.

What he didn’t understand was
that Steingut has a rapport with
his people, His clubhouse is com-
munity service oriented. A total of
48 civil, social, charitable and vet-
erans organizations use the club-
house almost around the clock,
seven days a week. These include
Boy Scout troops, Little Leaguers,
American Legion, VFW, B'nai
Brith and a host of others.

On the county level, and as
county leader, he has a paid staff
of workers who devote all their
time to local service. Much
of the “cool” that prevailed in
Bedford-Stuyvesant last summer
was the efforts of the King's
County Community Service Com-
mittee, headed by Mead Esposito.

Steingut’s work as an Assem-
| blyman, particularly in the field of
child care and mental retardation,
has won him plaudits from one
end of the State to the other. He
has been endorsed repeatedly by

courts.
UNLIKE THE RECENT garb-
age logjam in New York City,

is a seven-year-old emergency.

sible spread of disease.

DURING THE LAST seven
years, the world has undergone
some sharp changes, the most
radical of which have occurred in
the United States. This has
brought us into a time of social
instability. One unwelcome divid-
end has been the sharp rise in
crime that is scaring the day-
lights out of most City dwellers.

organization. But the truth is that |
he had a hard corps of “peace at |

in from other parts of the City.
He did a good job, as a matter of |
fact, but he just didn’t beat Stein-

Support of LBJ
Steingut has steadfastly voiced
respect for President Johnson,
particularly for his domestic pol-
|{eles. Some of those who helped
mould the victory felt that the
National Administration had pro-
| ferred little help in an election
| that was so vital to it. On the}
other hand, there was some grudg-
ing admiration for Senator Mc-
Carthy who came into the district
to openly campaign for Dubin.
On balance there still seemed
to be more voters who favor
President Johnson because of his
domestic policies than who dis-
like him because of his Vietnam
policies. But 1f anyone in Wash-
ington is deluding themselves that
this was the reason for the Podell
victory they had better guess
again, The reason was pure and

Government Will Replace
Form 57 With 4x8 Card

Federal application form 57—the four-page form which
started millions of Federal employees on their career—
is going the way of the Edsel and the dinosaur,

The Civil Service Commission has announced that, as

cant, CSC chairman John W.

Macy Jr, added, ‘The person who }

hates to fill out long, involved
forms will find the standard form
170 a refreshing change.”

The new form is generally de-
signed for use by persons who
have passed civil service tests and
those already in Federal service
who are seeking other government
work.

The change was made after the
government discovered that per-
sonnel managers were often going
quickly through the long applica-
tion forms of prospective em-
ployees and looking at only certain
selected items on the form.

Once the government has de-
termined that a prospective em-
ployee meets the basic qualifica-
tions for a job, that person will
be called for further screening.

eee

Congressman Paul Fino (R.,
N.Y.) has introduced legislation
to allow Federal civil service em-
ployees to retire at age 55 by in-
cluding up to five years of social
security coverage with 25 or more
years of civil service coverage to
achieve the required 30-year coy-

erage,

The Post Office Department has
signed a national agreement with
the seven postal unions which
have national exclusive recogni-
tion. The agreement covers 625,000
postal workers,

The new pact becomes effective
March 9 and runs for two years.
‘The agreement was reached only
after more than three months of
intensive, complex bargaining that
included outside mediation sery-
fees for the first time.

Strong Support Needed
For Additional. Police

OUNCILMEN Carlos Rios and Sol Sharison have intro-

duced a bill in the New York City Council to increase
the size of the New York City Housing Authority Police
force from 1,085 to 2,500.

The bill has the implied support of former HA chairman
Walter E. Washington—now Mayor of the District of Colum-
bia. Before he resigned the H.A, post, Washington had urged
the City to provide the additional manpower on an admin-
istrative basis.

The question of how a police force of 250 on each tour
can patrol some 1,900 buildings, prevent crime, aid sick and
injured residents and protect Authority property is un-
answered.

During their patrol policemen must check every floor in
every building—many have 20 or more floors; check stair-
ways, incinerator rooms, laundry rooms, rear entrances, ele-
vators, mail boxes as well as parking lots, playgrounds and
the like; eat their meals, notify superiors by telephone of
their movements and make typewritten reports.

How?

The buildings should be checked even more frequently
than once each tour.

How?

The average Housing Authority project is centered in
the middle of a high crime area, These areas outside the
projects, are patrolled by policemen assigned to patrol pre-
eincts on a two-man basis, Additionally most of these areas
in which projects are located are patrolled by the crack
Tactical Patrol Force comprised of young policemen all above
the height of 6 feet, 1 Inch.

Housing policemen in most cases, work alone, yet have
a high rate of arrests for serious crimes, Their injury rate
in the line of duty 1s equally high,

We urge that the City Council and the Mayor give strong
consideration to this bill and increase the Housing Police
Department to the size that is necessary to continue to pro-
vide the fine protection they have given in the past.

LE1 1ERS TO
THE EDITOR

Praises Sen. Conklin's
Work For Fire Widows

Editor, The Leader:

In your “Letters to the Editor”
of Jan. 2, 1968, you printed a
letter relative to the financial
consideration of an added $25,000
above and beyond any additional
benefits to the widows and fam-
ies of firemen who lost their lives
in the line-of-duty. This is in
answer to Mr, Norton, the author
of the letter.

‘You state in your letter that
you propose legislation to provide
compensation for  line-of-duty
widows and orphans where none
‘exist. I do not know of any area
where no provision is made for
compensation for  line-of-duty
death. I do know that the provi-
sions of the Death Gamble grants
to the widows and orphans of line-
of-duty firemen, City employees
and some State employees, is a
direct’ result of the efforts of
Senator Conklin from your home
district.

Your letter stated that you
enlisted the sympathetic in-
terest of an Assemblyman from
Brooklyn,

May I, at this time, say as the
chairman of the Legislative Com~-
mittee of the Uniformed Firemen’s
Association, that this bill was in-
troduced by State Senator Conk-
lin of Brooklyn for some years
prior to the letter printed in your
paper.

Mr. Conklin has been assiduous
in his attempt to provide proper
benefits for widows of our mem-
bers.

It would be neither right nor
Just for anyone present now to at-
tempt to step {n and to seek to
gain any type of advantage for
the introduction of this type of
legislation,

Over the years, Senator Conklin
has shown his decided interest
in the welfare of the firefighter
and his family and has come to be
recognized as the foremost pro-
ponent for the protection which
should be afforded to the families
of our deceased brothers.

Senator Conklin initiated the
$25,000 death benefit for firemen
killed in the line of duty and,
therefore, should receive your
praise and congratulations.

If you wish to help, then en-
courage the legislative member's
to support this legislation and
similar civil service “bills.”

As chairman of the UFA Legis-
lative Committee, I could do no
more than to state my views on
this subject.

Pension Option Procedures

WHEN A pensioner changes a pension option, lega) pro.
ceedings after the pensioner’s death to reinstate the Originay
option may seem foredoomed to failure. Fortunately, howe
ever, judicial relief will be granted when the facts are ef.
fectively presented by skillful counsel. A recent examp!e js
Attorney A. Mark Levien’s representation before Judge John
N. Murtagh of the plaintiff in the case of Ortelere v. Teach.
ers’ Retirement Board of City of New York (New York Law
Journal, January 30, 1968),

GRACE W. ORTELERE, a deceased pensioner, had been
employed as a New York City public school teacher for 37
years. In June 1958 she filed with the Teachers’ Retirement
Board her selection of benefits under Option I. Option I pro.
vides that if the pensioner dies before receiving in payments
the value of her annuity, her pension or her retirement a).
lowance, the balance is paid to such person as she designates,

MRS. ORTELERE had been under a psychiatrist's care
from July 1964 until her death in April 1965. In February
1965 she signed a document changing her pension option
from Option I to one that would allow her the maximum
payments, She received a monthly retirement alowance in
the maximum amount of $450 a month for two months when
she died. Upon her death, pursuant to the terms of the revised
Option, all payments ceased,

HER HUSBAND sued to cancel his wife’s change from
Option I under which he had been named as beneficiary, He
alleged that his wife was under a severe mental incapacity
when she changed the option. At the same time there was
no suggestion that the Teachers’ Retirement Board had any
eason to be aware of petitioner's lack of mental capacity to
understand the change in options.

IN EARLIER cases involving similar problems, the de-
cisions are apparently inconsistent. In Loeb y. Teachers’ Re-
tirement Board, decided in 1937, the decedent’s administrator
claimed that the teacher was mentally incompetent to make
any election as to benefits when she retired under the normal
annuity. The aplication for an order rescinding the option
elected by the decedent was denied on the ground that there
was no justification for directing an option most beneficial
to the deceased’s relatives instead of one in the decedent's
best interests at the time she selected an option.

ON THE OTHER hand, the Schwartzberg v. The Teach:
ers’ Retirement Board case, decided in 1948, received differ
ent judicial treatment. The pensioner fitst elected Option !
whereby she would have received a monthly payment with the
balance on her death passing to her son and daughters. Like
Ortelere, she changed for an option giving her the maximum
allowance payable to her during her lfe with nothing '
survivors. Upon a showing of her menta] incompetence at
the time of the change in option, the Court ruled that the
change was ineffective, One of the factors established to SUP
port the ruling was that the deceased’s childern would havé
made up the difference in support between the amounts pay*
able to their mother under the two options.

‘THE ORTELERE case like the earlier Schwartzberg 0?
presents the legal problem whether a signed document ts pind
ing upon a person who did not understand the nature of his
act. The lack of understanding need not necessarily be the
consequence of mental incapacity. For example, a perso” wt
could not read the English language signed a document wae
his lawyer told him was a receipt for $1,000 as part payment
for his injuries sustained in an automobile accident. ane
upon, the insurance company issued its check and the bs,
and client shared the sum of $1,000 equally. Subsequently, #
client discovered that he had signed a general release, vaatd
receipt. His suit against the insurance company to invalitee
the release was successful even though the insurance °
pany was not guilty of any wrongdoing. asive

JUDGE JOHN N, Murtagh, in accordance with pers)
precedent, ruled that Mrs, Ortelere’s action in changing |
election of options was null and void. Under the Loh
furist’s decision, her husband became entitled to a qund
mately $62,000 representing the balance in the yee in
under Option J, thereby vindicating the efforts of ¢O""

according to a summary report
of an evaluation by the school
aystem's Bureau of Educational
research. The report has been
made public by the Board of Edu-
cation.

The evaluation deals with a
project initiated by Deputy Sup-
erintendent of Schools Dr. ‘Theo-
dore H. Lang, in charge of per-
sonnel, The session which was
evaluated was conducted from
April 17 to June 30, 1967. Partici-
pants included 18 assistant prin-

ments in high schools who were
assigned to as many host schools
for training under experienced
principals while awaiting their

with 20 participants in the recent
fall semester and 25 in the cur-

Dr. Lang explained that the

“Ex-Teachers Come
Back” State Asks

The State Education Depart-
ment last week launched an all-
out campaign to attract teachers
who have left the classroom back
to teaching and to encourage
those who have never taught to
prepare themselves for teaching
or for nonprofessional jobs in the
schools.

The program, called the Teach-
ers Reserve, is the first Statewide |
effort to locate retired teachers |
and people who would like to work |
in the field of education if they
had the required training.

The four-part program will in-
clude finding out how many such
people are in the State; finding
out what they need to qualify
them for educational jobs; provid-
ing the courses or training they
need at a nearby college; and
actually enrolling these individ-
uals in the teaching or auxiliary
ranks.

‘The Teachers Reserve is aimed
not only at the fully certified
teacher who may have left the
profession for family or other
reasons, but at the college drop-
out who requires further educa-
tion for certification, and at the
high school graduate who, with
some training, could be employed
as a teacher's aide or in some
other auxiliary job.

Part of the plan is to provide
two day or three day workshops
which will help keep retired

achers up-to-date on education
and in their teaching specialities
until they can return to the class-
room. According to Alvin P. Lier-
heimer, director, division of
teacher education and certifica-
tion, “Many women who taught
a few years and then left the
profession to start their families
plan to return in a few years
when the children are a little
older. It {s part of our responstb-
lity to help them keep their
techniques and subject matter
current with new knowledge and
new practices.”

The first phase of the program
began this week with the mailing
of leaflets describing the Teach-
ers Reserve and questionnaires to
various organizations, such as the
League of Women Voters, General
Federation of Women's Clubs,
PTA, and others.

Information on the program is
available from Teachers Reserve,
State Education Department, Al-
bany, N.Y. 12224.

Course on Comnuters

New York University’s School of
Commerce, Washington Sq., New
York City 10003, will be host to
25 high school s‘udents this sum-
mer for a tuition-free course on
how computers are used in busin-
ess, government and science. This
1s open to students who will have
completed their junior year by
July and who have taken three
years of academic math, In addi-
tion to free tuition, the university
will provide limited funds to needy
students for travel and living ex-
penses. All applications must be

SERVICE LEAD

Proposed Rezoning
Aids Ethnic Balance

Proposed zoning recommenda-
tions for 17 academic high schools
in Queens for the new school year
beginning next fall were made
public last week. They are de-
signed to improve ethnic balance
and to make for better utilization
of the schools in the light of the
transportation problems tnvolved.

The proposals are the result of
months of study and public dis-
cussion by the seven district sup-
erintendents and local
boards of Queens. Factors in the
promulgation by Dr. Bernard E.
Donovan of the proposed new
rules included the concern of
State Commissioner of Education
| James E. Allen about the ethnic
| balance of Queens high schools
and a survey of this and school
utilization conducted by the firm
of Nelson Associates.

A special committee, headed by
Assistant Superintendent Freder-
ick H. Williams of the public
school system's Office of Integra-
tion and Human Relations, drafted
proposals which were submitted to
Dr. Donovan after public discus-
sion in Quenes school districts. The
proposed new rules are based on
these recommendations as modi-
fied by Dr. Donovan and his staff
within the framework of the com-
munity zoning plan.

In general, the new program in-
creases the percentage of Negro
and Puerto Rican pupils in schools
which previously had fewer than
25 percent and reduces the per-
centage in schools which had been
near the 50 percent mark, accord-
ing to Williams. He noted that
the plan calls both for. “enclaves”
which are non-contiguous to the
main zones and for areas con-
tiguous to schools but presenting
difficult travel problems.

Ethnic Gensus of C.U.

There are approximately 15,800
Negro and Puerto Rican students
in undergraduate courses at the
City University, representing 13
percent of the total undergraduate
enrollment and probably the
largest enrollment of Negro and
Puerto Rican students in the U.S.,
a recent survey reveals. The study
was made by the Board of Higher
Education.

A unique electronic piano class
for individual and group instruc-

"| tion has been established at An-

drew Jackson HS,. 207-01 116th
St. (Francis Lewis Blvd.), Cambria
Heights. This educational inno-
vation consists of 24 student
pianos equipped with individual
head phones, plus a teacher con-
sole. Thus, the students can play
Individually or .in concert with
each other. The laboratory gives
not only individual and group in-
struction in piano but is also used
in the teaching of theory, har-
mony and keyboard harmony.

John Doar Honored

John Doar, who has won recog-
nition for his personal and pro-
fessional involvement in civil
rights, was honored at a special
Brotherhood Week assembly at
the High School of Fashion In-
dustries, 225 West 24 Street, Man-
hattan, recently.

Video Tape Replaces
Former School Films

The New York City Board of
Education and the New York
State Education Department are
embarking upon a joint venture
which may fundamentally change
the way in which films are used
in instruction in schools through-
out the country. The Board voted
$10,000 for this purpose, all of
which will be reimbursed by the
State.

The project involves using in-

in the form of video tapes rather
than photographic prints. This
would require broad industry-wide
changes in present procedures,
However, the cost would be sub-
stantially less to the schools than
at present, and teachers would
have access to large resources of
| materials produced by film makers
and TV stations throughout the
country

Dr. Edward G. Bernard, Direc-
; tor of the City school system's
Bureau of Audio-Visual Instruc-
tion, cited as an example the fact
that a school which may now pay
$65 for a black-and-white print of
a ten-minute production may

its own video tapes, as needed,
from a rented or purchased print
for a fraction of the current cost.

In addition to other advantages,
the tapes would be eraseable, re-

store.

300 Experimental
Projects Restudied

Superintendent of Schools Dr.
Bernard E. Donovan has ordered
® complete review of more than
300 special experimental projects
now under way in the New York
City public school system.

To be completed by April 1 of
this year, the review will be the
basis for either expansion, elim-
ination or modification of the
projects, Dr. Donovan announced.

Some of the projects to be re-
viewed are Team Teaching, Pro-
grammed Instruction, Nongraded-
ness, Correlated Curriculum, the
Pre-technical Program,
Guidance, College Bound Program
and Let’s Look at First Graders,

Excluded from the study will
be programs which are federally
funded and experimental projects
already under review, such as the
All-Day Neighborhood Schools,
More Effective Schools and the
Special Primary School Program,
which are being studied by a spe-
cial work group as agreed on in
the most recent collective bargain-
ing negotiations with the United
Federation of Teachers.

The Superintendent appointed
Assistant Superintendent Mrs.
Helene M. Lloyd to direct the re-
view. Mrs. Lloyd has experience
in school systems outside New
York City as well as in New York
City as a teacher, principal, cur-
riculum specialist, Assistant Sup-
erintendent in the Elementary
School Division and Acting Dep-
uty Superintendent in charge of
curriculum, She is now assigned
as special assistant in the office
of the superintendent.

The heart and blood vessel diseases

take close to a million lives

in our nation every year, more than all
other causes of death combined.

This coming year, more than half a
million will die of heart attacks

alone. Their number will include more
than 100,000 men in the prime of

life —ages 45 through 64.

In an effort to reduce this tremendous toll,
the American Heart Association has,
since its beginnings as a voluntary health
agency in 1948, supported research
programs to determine the underlying
causes and improve the diagnosis and
treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
Through a wide variety of educational and
community programs it has sought to

alert both physicians and laymen to the
steps that can be taken to apply

new knowledge to the care and prevention
of these diseases,

This month, the Heart Fund

campaign, through more than two
million volunteer workers, will ask

the American public for support of

the program to bring the heart and blood
vessel diseases under control.

tirement plan, only the present
active members were included,
which was an injustice to re-
tirees.” The letter further states
that “Comptroller Levitt wants
the present retirees included and
is sponsoring legislation to that
effect. To accomplish this, Senator
Flynn is backing the bill in the
Senate and Assemblyman Lifset in
the Assembly.”

Since the aforementioned bill is
retroactive to the date of ap-
pointment on a non-contributory
basis but does not include retirees,
it should not be backed by the
retirees as it is unfair and dis-
criminatory unless it is amended
to include those who have already
retired.

Differential Sought
For Canal Structure
Operators At Night

ALBANY — A 10 percent
shift differential for all canal
structure operators in New

York State has been request-
ed by the Civil Service Employ-
ees Assn.

The differential would apply to
employees who work the 4 p.m. to
midnight and midnight to 8 a.m
shifts. |

‘Thomas Coyle, assistant director |
of CSEA research, in justifying |
the request for the differential,
told 3. Earl Kelly, director of the |
State Division of Classification |
and Compensation, that Federally |
employed lock operators at the
U.S. lock in Troy are paid more |
on these particular shifts than|
their State-employed counterparts
working at the other locks along
Erie and Champlain Divisions of
the Barge Canal in New York
State.

Coyle said, “Since both Federal
and State employees in these
titles perform essentially the
same duties and have the same
responsibilities, it is our conten-
tion that these particular State
employees should be paid a shift
differential of 10 percent in ex-
ess of their basic compensation,

“Since the only non-State em-
ployee involved in this particular
matter, is the Federal Govern-
ment,” Coyle continued, “we con-
tend that a shift pay differential
be established to equalize’the sal-
aries of canal structure operators
in New York State with the Fed-
eral lock operators in the Troy
area.

Fired Cleaner
Reinstated After
CSEA Gives Aid

(Special to The Leader)

MIDDLETOWN—The Civil
Service Employees Assn. has
succeeded in having a cleaner
at Orange County Community
College reinstated to his job after
he was fired last fall

Edward Grispo, who received
legal aid under CSEA’s legal as-
sistance program, was fired with-
out the benefit of a hearing after
being charged with several counts
of misconduct and — insub-
ordination. The college, however,
was informed that Grispo was an
exempt volunteer fireman and
thus entitled to protection under
Section 75 of the Civil Service
Law,

Attorney Benjamin Gilman, who
is State assemblyman from
Orange, represented Grispo at the
hearing, following which the lat-
ter was found guilty on only two
of the counts. The cleaner, a resi-
dent of Middletown, was fined ten
days’ pay and reinstated to his
Job.

Assemblyman Gillman was per-
sonally retained by Grispo, but re-
imbursed by CSEA.

The college was notified of
Grispo’s volunteer fireman’s stat-
us by the Orange County chapter
of CSEA and Thomas Brann,
CSEA field representative for that
area. Grispo applied for and ob-
tained assistance through the
county chapter. He ts a member
of the County of Orange Em-
ployees unit of CSEA.

Orange Legislator
Urges Governor To
Increase State Pay

MIDDLETOWN Assem-
blyman Benjamin A. Gilman
(R-95th), again has asked
Governor Rockefeler to urge
the Public Employment Relations
Board to expedite its hearings on
determining the bargaining agent
for Civil Service employees.

At the same time, the Orange
County legislator asked the Gov-
ernor to review his proposed eight
percent pay increase for State
employees “In order to arrive at
a core equitable wage for our
highly underpaid public workers
in State employment.”

Gilman, in his letter of Feb. 19
to the Governor, said “I have been
informed that the average an-
nual wage for a State hospital
attendant is the sum of $4,500,
which is far below the average
wage of workers similarly em-
Ployed in our area,”

Gilman, who has more than
2,000 Civil Service employees in
his district, in reference to the
PERB hearings, told the Gover-
nor: “That prolonged delay in
this determination is adversely af-
fecting the financial welfare of
our State employees, as well as
the employee morale at all. of our
State institutions. Your. interest
in urging a prompt PERB deci-
sion would materially benefit all
of the State employees.”

Gilman’s action was prompted
by. talks with Issy Tessler, CSEA
representative from the State De-
partment of Social Services, and
George F. Sullivan, chairman of
the Poltical Action Committee at

Middletown State Hospital.

1/60th Pension Plan Report

By LOUIS BUSSELL

Much has been said about
our pension system, pro and
con. In the final analysis a
Pension system should be
Judged by its performance. We
must consider not the enormous |
aize of the system, but the benefit
it can pay to retirees as this is
the ultimate function of a pension
system.

Let us take a hypothetical State
employee named Joe Pauper, Joe
entered State service in 1938 and
after 30 years of service wants to
retire and live the winter of his
life in peaceful contentment,

However, before handing in his
retirement papers, Joe Pauper sits
down with pencil in hand to com-

43 YEARS OF SERVICE — nics. mary Whelan is honor
at a testimonial dinner marking her retirement after 43 years gf
State service, most of which was spent with the Motor Vehicle pe,
partment in Albany. At left, presenting a certificate to Mrs, Whelag}
for her many years of service to the Civil Service Employees Assn]
is Thomas McDonough, president of the CSEA Motor Vehicle chapteg|
while Ellis T, Riker, administrative director of the Department, looky

Holiday Inn in Albany.

pute the pension the State will| age of his “final average salary,”
pay him for his 30 years of faith-| which is the average salary for

38/120ths or 31.6 percent of his
final average salary as a pension,
this mind you, after 30 years of
service. However, Joe’s figures, get
more incredible as he continues to
compute his pension. Note that
the 31.6 percent is not on his pres-
ent annual salary, which is in
most instances an employee's
highest earnings, but is a percent-

_. Central Conference Meeting

(Continued from Page 3)
the State Department of Social
Services in the Syracuse area and
Assemblyman Mortimer Gallivan
of Syracuse Consultant to the
Panel was Joe Deasy, Jr. city edi-
tor of The Leader.

Former ‘ conference president
Bmmett Durr of Ray Brook and
his wife, the former Eunice Cross,
wore honored at the opening eve~

‘The Durr's were married re-
cently after their retirement from
the State hospital at Ray Brook.

A mock wedding preceded the
presentation of gifts from the
98 ehapier presidents and other
friends of the couple.

Coordinator of the conference

dinner was Helen Callahan of
Syracuse chapter. Chapter presi-
dent, Mrs. Mary McCarthy was
general chairman, Among the
guests attending the conference
meeting and annual dinner of
the Syracuse chapter were: Dr,
Theodore Wenzl, CSEA president;
vice presidents Raymond Castle,
Irving Flaumenbaum, Hazel Ab-
rams, Claude Rowell, Richard
Tarmey; and CSEA secretary Mrs,
Dorothy MacTavish, Other guests
included Sidney Grossman, deputy
attorney general, the dinner toast-
master; Frank Costello, president
of the State Mental Hygiene Em-
ployees Assn.; State Senator Tarky
Lombardi, Jr. and Assemblyman
James F. Barry.

added to the pittance,

of pension, would be the annuity
which his own contributions to
the system would purchase, As
Joe digs deeper into his pension
rights, he gets more and more
disgusted with his findings. The
figures cited above are for the
“No Option” choice which leaves
no protection for a retiree’s fam-
fly when he dies. Should hé take
any of the other four available
options, his already meager pen-
sion would be substantially Fes
duced.

Certainly the most appropriate
characterization of our State Re-
tirement System is “grossly in-
adequate.” State employees just
cannot afford to retire and those
that do retire often must seek
other employment to maintain a
minimum standard of living.

Why don't you sit down, relax
and compute your own pension
benefits. Then write to Governor
Rockefeller and Comptroller Le-
vitt, expressing your feelings re-
garding your pension system. We
belleve a fully retroactive non-
contributory 1/60th law would
help solve Joe Pauper’s retirement

Thruway Authority
Rapped By CSEA
For Not Bargaining

ALBANY — Sharp criticism
has been directed at the State
Thruway Authority by the
Civil Service Employees Assn.,

over the Authority's refusal to
meet with CSEA on pending and
current matters affecting mem-
bers of the Employees Associa-
tion.

“It appears that the only ave-

nue left that CSEA can take in
order to meet with representatives
of he Thruway Authority to ade-
quately present the day-to-day

problems of our members is

—
through the use of grievance proj
cedures,” said Joseph D, Lochner,
CSEA executive director.

The Authority said it woul
not meet with us, until the ques
tion of unit determination andj
representation is resolved by thil
Public Employment —Relati
Board, said Lochner.

“We cannot sit and wait {or
@ determination by. PERB," thd}
CSEA executive director declared

Lochner recommended that “‘anj|
and all problems normally req
viewed by our Special Committes|
‘and. the Authority be submited
jin accordance with the grievanca|
procedure.

reported that the crisis point of
the session was reached when
those attending were torn be-
tween a recommendation to con-
duct a withholding of employee
services this week and an urging
by other spokesmen that the ac-
tion be merely held in abeyance
until it could be seen what of-
fer would be forthcoming from
the Legislature, where it is now
known that Assembly Speaker An-
thony J. Travia’s fiscal advisors
have been meeting almost daily
with CSEA representatives and
similar meetings have been held
on the Senate side, first with
Majority Leader Earl W. Brydges

| and, subsequently, with Sen, War-
{ren Anderson, chairman of the

Finance Committee.

By a close vote, it was agreed
