The New York Civil Service
Law permits provisional (tempo-
rary) appointments when there
is no list from which appoint-
ments to permanent positions
can be made. Such provisional
appointments may continue only
until an eligible list is estab-
lished as a result of competi-
tive examination. The Civil
Service rules allow a department
to continue a provisional ap-
pointee for not more than twen-
ty days after a list has been cer-
tified. The theory is that the de-
partment needs to have some
little time to provide for the
change of incumbents. He has to
have some reasonable time to in-
terview the eligibles certified, al-
low the new appointee to make
arrangements for his new em-
ployment, etc.

The Jaw does not permit pro-
visional appointments to con-
tinue beyond four months, and
successive provisional appoint-
ments are not permissible. Tech-
nically no one may continue be-
yond four months as a provi-
sional, but for practical reasons
provisional appointments are

only existing laws which protect em-

U. S. Workers: Where
To Register in Draft

The situation of Civil Service employees with regard to the draft | je<t;’ will be given around Novem-

is rapidly becoming clearer. Last week the federal Civil Service |
Commission answered one question which had been uppermost in
the minds of federal employees working in Washington or in the
field away from their homes: “Where shall I register?”

The Commission said,
“Register where you work.
Addresses given on selective serv-
ice registration cards will in no way

affect the civil service status of
registrants. Persons with legal resi-
dence in the various States will con-

tinue to be regarded as residents of
those States in all respects pertain-

Richmond Democrat, last week in-
troduced a bill in the city council
which would provide pensions for
the widows of Firemen killed in ac-

tion in saving life outside the limits.
According to the bill, such pensions
would amount to one-half the reg-|
ular city salary and would be paid
as long as the widow remained un-
married. Pensions would be paid |
after approval by the Mayor and the |
Board of Estimate, following a rec-
ommendation of the Fire Commis-
sioner,

Age Assistance, did a swell job with
his institute on “Significance of
Present Statutory Provisions in Old
Age Assistance” at the N, Y. State

Decline and Shift

‘The Richmond Welfare Center to-
tal caseload declined during the past
year from 2,853 cases to 2,355 cases,
This caseload decline and the cur-
rent periodic realignment of district
office caselonds have resulted in the
shifting of thirteen social welfare in-
vestigators to district offices in lower
Manhattan and Brooklyn.

The home relief cases dropped
from 1,791 to 1,324, and the old-age
assistance cases from 815 to 755. The
number of blind assistance, veteran
and dependent children cases in-
creased slightly during the year.

Put the 11-Squad
System Into Effect!

™ LEADER'S explanation of the 11-squad for cops

brought forth one of the biggest responses this
paper has had to a series of articles.

The 11-squad chart is a proposed system of so regu-
lating working hours that a cop gets a full day off from
work each week, He doesn't under the present 10-
squad setup.

Cops all over the city want the 11-squad item put
into effect. They point out that it would eliminate one
of the largest sources of resentment among the men on
the for They point out that morale would be im-
proved and that the new system needn't-cost the city
any additional money.

The Leaner feels that Commissioner Valentine should
give heed to this just request of his men for better
hours. It would be better for the Police Department
to put the new regulation into effect than to wait for a
bill to come up In the City Council proposing the same
thing

Beautiful Phrases

HEN the two major political parties published
W their platforms, the Leaver looked over the

+ Statements on Civil Service. Frankly we didn’t
like those statements, They looked like weasel words
to us—and we said so. Both parties talked in high-
sounding phrases about the beautiful merit system
which ought to be extended. We wanted to be shown.
And there was one way in which we could be shown.
We said:

“If both parties are so anxious to extend the merit
system, they should do so immediately, even before the
election, by passing the Ramspeck bill. It has been a
legislative step-child long enough.

The Ramspeck bill would bring 150,000 federal jobs,
now the playtoys of peanut politicians, under the pro-
tection of Civil Service.

Well, Congress passed the bill all right, but saddled
it with such amendments, made it look so different
when it left the House and left the Senate, performed
such an adroit job of stabbing the bill, that the whole
think fell with a tremendous plop.

Senator James M, Mead, who conducted a brilliant
job in steering the bill through the Senate, wired the
Leaner that no action may be expected on the bill until
aft the current session is over.

Weasel words? You said it!

To Mayor LaGuardia

1AR MR, MAYOR; The Council investigation of

Civil Service procedure, despite criticisms, is
proving to be a serious survey, It has uncovered
several situations which, on their face, cannot be
laughed off, We don’t think, Mr. Mayor, that you
should continue to look upon this probe with a flippant
air. We don't think that such an attitude aids the
advance of the merit system in New York.

We Suggest -

In this new department, Tue Leaver will each week
include suggestions which are important to Civil Ser-
vice employees, eligibles, and those seeking to enter the
government. Readers with suggestions of their own
are invited to submit them to the editors,

« . the story of the.pension
system is my story . . .”

E met a man last week
Wiosose whole adult life

has been devoted to one
single job—the development of
a sound pension program for
New York City employees. His
name is Ralph L, Van Name, a
good-natured, white-thatched
career man who started in
Civil Service 30 years ago. Van
Name is secretary of the New
York City Retirement System,
which is a separate city cor-
poration, but is run as a bu-
reau of the Board of Estimate.
It operates independently of
the Police, Fire, Sanitation and
Teacher's Retirement systems,
but nonetheless includes 72,000
members at present, and by
the end of 1941, will have 100,-
000 when some 27,000 subway
workers are included.

When we asked Van Name to
tell us something about him-
self, he said simply: “The story
pension system is my

Started as Steno

Van Name got into the pres-
ent pension tem on the
ground floor, He worked for
three years as a Stenographer,
then in 1913 became Mayor
Gaynor’s confidential secre-
When Gaynor died, he
continued in the same job un-
der Mayor Kline. As secretary
to Mayor Gaynor, Van Name
wrote the letters appointing
the Mayor's original pension
commission, He took the min-
utes of the first meeting. When
the Commission began to
operate and organize a staff,

he was the fourth employee
selected in a staff that soon
grew to 100. His job was listed
as Stenographer, but actually
Van Name functioned as office
manager.

Recalling those early days,
Van Name says: “The Com-
mission spent over $100,000 in
research investigating pensions
and what is now called Social
Security. We had translations
made of foreign pension plans,
We had the Australian and
New Zealand setups as well as
the more advanced plans of
European countries—Belgium,
France, and Germany,

Big Job

“The first job the Commis-
sion had to undertake was the
reorganization of the bankrupt
Teachers’ Retirement System.
We organized the present
teachers’ system in 1917.

“Our legislation for this
present pension program was
defeated in 1918 and 1919, but
passed in 1920. It closed the
doer to future employees to the
pension systems existing then,
with the exception of the Fire,
Police, Sanitation and Teach-
ers setups. When we formed
we did not force any city em-
ployee into the new system,
though 99% have since come
in.”

Ralph Van Name, who has
labored 30 years to perfect the
retirement system of New York
City employees, is himself
eligible for its benefits, He has
reached the age, and put in the
required number of years, to
retire if he likes. But he has
no immediate plans to retire,
This decision is partly due to

Hateh

Sirs: The Hatch Act prohibits
contributing to # political fund.
The penalty is loss of job. This
meets with my approval, but what
happens to the poor individual
who refuses to con ute when
requested? Lite will be made
rather miserable, but the main fear
is that the job will be abolished,
What I would like to know is
this: Would a person in such a
predicament be assisted in getting
anoth job without going on an-
other Civil Service list? Fear
prevents people from taking a
if they knew they would
ie to go months without
a job, they wouldn't hesitate in re-
fusing such requests,

Seems to me the Hatch Act is go-
ing to have little effect until some-
thing is done to prevent pressure
from the other side.

Doxoruea M, Been.

The Leader has opposed the
Hatch Act jor a variety of rea-
sons. This intelligent letter adds

er—that the Hatch Act
t really prevent political
skullduggery, but does place a

‘ar on the Civil Service em-
yee against talking about it.

By all means, clamp down on
the political racketeers who de=
mand tribute of public employees,
But why penalize the employees
both ways? We see the Hatch Act
as one of the worst pieces of legis
lation affecting government em

Suggestions On
Conscriptions
irs: To Harry Zucker's sugges-
tion concerning the draft may I
add those of Tur Leaver published
in an editorial?

1, Permit conscripts to receive
all the Civil Service news,

2. Permit conscripts to take
Civil Service exams,

3. Provide conscripts with
study opportunities at the camps.
‘Thus, with both sets of sugges-
tions, the two groups, eligibles and
aspirants to government positions,
are protected against the loss of
rightful privileges and opportu-

nities.

a similar position in New York,
the answer is “no.” You must
secure approval of the head of
your present department and the
head of the new department also,
no matter whether either depart-
ment is engaged in defense work
or not. If your present depart-
ment head refuses your request
for a transfer, you can resign and
accept a New York position from
the different eligible list when
your name is certified, However,
you will not be given credit on
your new probationary period for
the time served in the frst posi-
tion.

War Dept. Tests

G. K—There will be very few
positions of administrator of men-
tal tests to enlisted men, They
probably will be under the Ad-
jutant General, War Department,
and will be civilian positions.

‘ransferring Eligibility
G. W. O'S.—Unfortunately, you
cannot transfer your eligibility for
Substitute Postoffice Laborer from
the city where you qualified to
Washington, D. C., in spite of the
fact that you have changed your
residence to Washington. If you
want to accept the position when
your name is reached you will
have to go back to your home
city.
Illiterate

G. R.—In spite of the fact that
you are a war veteran, your in-
ability to read and write English
makes it almost impossible for you
to qualify for any civil service
position. It is possible you might
be able to qualify for unskilled
laborer in the federal or state
service.

Narses Entitled To
Preference

J. F.—Members of the Army or
Navy Nurse Corps. who served in
the World War are entitled to the
same preferences in all branches
of the civil service as are soldiers,
sailors and marines who are war
veterans,

tion, will not be permitted to com-

ment to a permanent position,

Subway Workers
And Lyons Law

P. O. McD.—Since subway
workers are employees of the
Transit Commission—a state agency
—they are not covered by the
Lyons residence law. Moreover,
there is nothing in the state civil
service law which requires them
to be residents of the state, I
think it would be wise, however,
for them to establish a legal resi-
dence in New York State.

When Job Is Abolished

G. F. M—It your position is
abolished because of lack of ap-
propriation, you will be placed on
a preferred list for the position
you now hold, not for the position
to which you were originally ap-
pointed, You will be eligible for
reinstatement from the preferred
list to a vacancy anywhere in the
state, irrespective of the fact that
your original position was located
in Albany, If you are drafted and
the position is abolished while you
are in military service your name
will be placed on the preferred
list and payment of your salary
will cease as of that date.

Reinstatement

HIS, and J.C—A person who
resigns from the service may be
reinstated to his old position or
a similar position if he applies for
reinstatement within a year, pro-
vided the department head wants
to take him back. He is not re-

quired to do so, It more than a

Why Doesn't

Sirs: Why hasn't the Civil Ser-

or the’ other on the Telephone
Operator appointments to the
Police Department? Commissioner
Valentine and Commissioner Kern
say that Police eligibles will be
used. But, so far as I can find out,
there has been no official ruling
to that effect, Meanwhile, the pro-
visionals now in the jobs are work-

that reasonable hours, good working

other such boons (usually won

R.F.—In the federal Civil Serv

Jewish holidays) have that time

the general practice to ¢: em-
ployees without loss of pay. In
institutions where employees do
not work on a regular Mond

the needs of the service require
that they be given some other day
off than Saturday or Sunday, it
is not always possible to permit
all Jewish employees to absent
themselves from work on a Jew=

it is the practice to give them

Schools for $1

if the Board of Education can
build new schools on one dollar, then
they can go ahead—but that is all
the Board can get, for that purpose,
goys the Mayor. Approximately
eighteen million dollars was ap-
proved as the capital outlay budget
for education, This was the same
amount received last year, and rep-
resented a cut’from the sixty mil-

lion dollars requested for the pur-

chase of sites and construction of

new schools,

Better Speech

Inviting new methods and aids to
teaching school children better
speech, Dr. Elias Lieberman, Asso-
ciate Superintendent of Schools, in
charge of junior high schools, last
week asked that a concerted drive
be conducted by all school teachers
to improve the address of students.
In a memo to assistant superin-
tendants and junior high school
principals, Dr, Lieberman requested
that: this idea be incorporated as a
permanent feature in the service that

each teacher gives his students. The
development of such a program
comes as a natural adjunct of the
modern education theory of develop-
ing the student's personality.

“No Sentiment”

Superintendent of Schools Harold
G. Campbell announced last week
that drastic changes could be ex-
pected in the current system of re-
porting on the services of teachers
on their probationary periods. He
called upon the principals, under
whatever system is decided upon, to
make their reports objectively and
honestly rather than be lenient out
of humane sentiments,

the problems that face the sys-
tem in absorbing 27,000 subway
workers.

The city assumed all the ob-
ligations of the former transit
companies when it took over
control of the lines. “They
have a rather unusual system,”
Van Name explains, “They
both organized or reorganized,
pension systems some time be-
fore Social Security came
along. When it did it largely
superceded the former sys-
tems,

“Subway workers are due to
get their future pensions from
three sources. The city has
agreed to pay an annuity for
a stated period of years for any
liabilities the companies had
before 1937.”

Subway Men Left Out

However, he adds, the sub-
way workers mostly get left
out in the cold for payments
they made for Social Security
from 1937 on, “Men umder 61
have completely sunk their
rights, They can’t get any
pensions from Social Security
or get back any money they
paid in. Men from 61 to 65 are
all right, They can hold Social
Security rights for as long as

They can collect pensions
whether they are working or
not because they are in an ‘un-
covered’ class under a ruling of
the Social Security Board.”

Van Name is proud of the
pension setup in New York,
calls it the “best-balanced”
one in the country He's fond
of stressing its flexibility: the
numerous options it allows;
the fact that it is possible to
borrow substantial funds from
it; that anyone who leaves the
program gets back all his con-
tributions with interest, etc.
“We try to avoid what Social
Security does, They put a man
in a straight-jacket.”

Van Name has few outsic
interests besides his work, an
of course, his family. He h

employee groups on various
pects of pension, tries to fill
many of these as he can,

What Makes A Good Social Worker

(Continued from Page 6)

Under the Public Welfare Law in
lew York State, Home Relief means
hi fuel, food, clothing, light,
ry household sj

cal,

not include hospital or institutional

care or the categorical forms of as-
stance, Although Home Relief is
limited to care in the recipient's
home, its administration cuts acro
the total social welfare program.
The problems which arise in families
are as complex and as broad as life
itself, They may inyolve hospital or
county home care, care of children
away from their own homes and
other phases of social welfare to
which the State Department has a
supervisory if not a finance-sharing
responsibility.

A Social Worker’s Duties

‘The duties of the social worker in
meeting this vast array of needs are
outlined in Section 78 of the Public
Welfare Law which states:

“Whenever a public welfare of-
ficial receives an application for re=
lief, or is informed that a person is
in need of care, an investigation and
record shall be made of the cireum-
stances of such person, The object
of such investigation shall be to a:
certain the settlement of such pe
son, the name, age, the religio’
faith, physical condition, earnings or
other income, and ability for labor
of all members of the family, the
cause of the present condition, the
ability and willingness of the family, |
relatives, friends and church to as-
sist, and’ such other facts as may be
helpful to determining the treatment
which will be most helpful to such
person, If it shall appear that such
person is in immediate need, tem-
porary relief shall be granted pend
ing completion of the investigation.

An analysis of the content of this
section shows that comprehensiv
knowledge of the client’s situation is
required. The application of the
provisions of the section demands
skill of high order.
tion that need exis
to the applicant's eligib’
ance, requires knowledge of his
personal capacities, his immediate

ly environment, and of the
‘ources within the communit;
Knowledge of the community

sites of the social worker in the
uublic assistance program. For upon
this knowledge of the community’s
agencies and resources, one or sev
eral of which may have current re-
sponsibility, nges the — public
y's determination to accept or
eject the applicant for Public As-

The type of community also enters
into the case worker's functiaping,
Greater skill may be needed to
mobilize resources both for the un-
ding and treatment of s
difficulties in a community of fewer
and smaller organizations,
reliance m:

cipient and upon the equipment and
resources of the social worker,
These community limitations, if it is
agreed that they are such, has
its compensations in neighborliness,
keener interest in and more inti-
mate knowledge of people in small
localities,

A Growing Program
The Public Welfare Program is a
developing and growing one. The
social worker has to be alert to de-
velopments in this complex field, to
have an understanding not only of

changes in his immediate assistance
program but also of the develop-
ments in the total security program

therefore, one of the primary requi- |

|
|

| accept’ a recipient for

‘which impinges upon his area of
responsibility. This is not merely
an academic interest in desirable
social insurance measures, but is
definitely related to the pximary
function of the case worker who de-
termines need and, in consequence,
eligibility for public assistance,

Eligibility for unemployment in-
surance benefits, for old age and sur-
vivor's insurance benefits, for wor
men’s compensation and for a multi-
tude of other resoifrces, which are
non-relief, mgy affect an applicant's
financial status to such an extent as
to make him ineligible for assistance,
‘or may greatly alter the size of his
relief grant.

Knowledge, skill, and philosophy
are all part of the necessary equip-
ment of the social worker. Knowl-
edge of the law which determines
the function of the agency in which
he operates, of the requirements of
eligibilty, of the applicant's rights,
and those of the taxpayer, of the
policies and procedures of his own
local, as well as the State super-
visory agency are all part of the
equipment which he uses daily in
the public assistance job.

The ability to determine that need
exists, to establish and document it
by securing proofs, and during this
investigation process to utilize the
capacities and abilities of the client
to help meet his own difficulti
brings into play the skills, the att
tudes and the philosophy of the s
cial case worker,

Understanding Is Needed

The ability to accept as well as the
need to reject applications so that
these decisions may be as constr
tive to the client as they are desi
able to the taxpaying members of
the community calls for the ability
to understand and work with people
in a vital relationship. If failure to
stance is
based on the ability to discover ca-
s and potentialities within the
jual, if the applicant does not
feel rejected but ie given an under-
standing of his ability to manage
and if the way is left open for him
to return when his resources are ex-
hausted, or his ability to manage his
own situation no longer exi
ice in terms of human conse!
and the conservation of public funds
may be attained.
