Your Answer—“As far as pay
raises are concerned, Patterson
said he would not be able to tell
what the county's financial pic~
ture would be until the 1957 budg=
et WAS prepared.

Our Answer—We agree that the
matter of salary increases is @
budgetary consideration but, in
view of the fact that Nassau Couns
ty employees have not had a gen-
eral Wage Increase in four years,
{t is our belief that the matter
county salaries should be a maj~
or consideration of the County
officials this year.

To go Into this program it ts not
necessary to wait until final ace
tion on the budget is taken to
consider necessary salary adjust-
ments,

We call your attention to the
announcement made to the press
as of July 10, 1956 by County Ex-
ecutive James C. Hopkins of Ws
chester County, that $700,000
would be allotted in that Coun
| ty’s 1957 budget to provide pay

increases or three-fourths of the
County's employees. We further
call to your attention that this
adjustment of county salaries wus
recommended to the County Ex-
| ecutive by the Personnel Officer,
a salaried employee of Westchest~
er County, who completed studies
on comparable wages in private
and government employ, and
showed the necessity of these in-
creases for the first twelve grades
of Westchester County's salary
schedule,

It ts our feeling that certainly
your County employees should not
be asked to wait until Nassau
| County's budget is published in
| November to be advised about
this important subject,

Payroll Deduction

Point No. 2—Blue Cross and
Blue Shield on payroll deduction
plan,

Your Answer—"The Health Pay-
ment Deduction, he said, was —
problem for the County Comptrol~
ler’s office.”

Our Answer—Within the last
two years several interviews were
had with the Comptroller about
the subject of payroll deductions
for Blue Cross and Blue Shield,
and the result of these interviews
were that if the County Execute
tive ordered such deductions made,
the Comptroller's office would. are

work to provide for these deduce

Levitt's Stand Brings

ALBANY. Sept. 3—The Civil
Bervice Employees Association
rive for the extension of Federal
Boclal Security appears to hare
moved nearer its goal.

‘The possibility that state work- |
@rs may soon be able to obtain
the additiona! coverage of the
Boclal Security System was spark-
ed by a recently announcement by
State Comptroller Arthur Levitt,
administrative hend of the New
York State Employees’ Retirement |
Bystem, ,

Comptroller Levitt revealed that
he requested that New York State
be specifically included tn the
benefits under a recently enacted
amendment to the Federal Social
Security laws,

According to Mr, Levitt, the
new amendment will greatly sim-
plity the problem of supplement-
ing the Retirement System bene-
fils with Social Security coverage,

‘Under the new amendment,”
the Comptroller sald, “each Indt-
Vidal employee will have the
right to decide for himself whether
or not he desires to have his re-
threment benefits supplemented by
GBoctal Security coverage, This
means that after a referendum ts
held all those who do not desire
Bocial Security coverage will be
completely free of its cost.

Problem Simplified

"Prior to the amendment all
members of the System would
have come under the supplemen-

tation plan,
decided.”
The Comptrotier indicated that
the amendiment also simplifies the
problem for the State and for the
other participating employers by
reducing the cost to them, Under

if the majority so

the amendment they will onty have

to contribute for those employces
who elect coverage.

‘The Comptroller emphasized the
fact that the amendment to the

Soctal Security laws grants the

election privilege only to eligible

employees und present members

ot the Retirement System, Puture
members of the Retirement Sys-
tem will automatically have thelr

beneflis supplemented with Social |

Kheel Begins
Duties as TWU

And TAReferee

‘Theodore W. Kheel is now im-
partial aribitrator for both the
Now York City Transit Authority
and the Transport Workers Union.

‘The union has s contract with
the TA regarding pay, working
conditions, and related matters,
Mr. Kheel will umpire the con-
tract, Just as for elght years he
has umpired contracts between
unions and private bus lnes; His
decisions are binding on differen-
ees between private lines and
unions, and will be equally bind-
ing in his new post,

In private industry bus Juris-
diction covors 8,200 employees; in
the Transit, Authority the figure
ts 32,000, all in the operating di-
vision,

Union Took Initiative

Mr. Kheel's salary as TA-TWU
umpire will be $15,000 a year, half
of which will be paid by each par-
ty, That umpire contract runs
until December 31, 1957. As bus
umpire, between unions and in-
dustry, his pay ix reported as $20,-
000 a year, :

The TA-TWU post of impartial
adviser was originally created in
a contract signed in 1955, It was
held until last July by Arthur
Stark, executive director of the
State Mediation Board, Recom-
mendations on grievance matters
were not completely binding,

Mr. Khool's present post grew
out of a union contention that the
adviser’s recommendations {n ef-
fect were binding on the union but
not on the Authority,

Impartiality In Naming

‘The union was not successful In
trying to include decisions on dis-
ciplinary actions and medical dis-
qualications of employees in Mr,
Kheel’s jurisdiction, Those mat-
ters are not included in the TA~
TWU contract.

Mr, Kheel was named Theodore
for Theodore Roosevelt, and was
riven the middle name of Wood-
row for Woodrow Wilson.

Men with a Zeal
For Serving Public

Regardless of what Administra-
tion is in power, the U, S. De-
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare has the reputation of
consistency of policy—service to

the public. Other government
agencies have the same reputa~
tlon—the mail goes through on
time whether the White House

occupant, or the majority of the
Senate or the House, Is Demo-
eratie or Republican. Also, in

agencies of state and local gov-
ernments, the same policy of pub-
lic service rules, The U. S, De-
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare, however, is specially
equipped by circumstances to for-
tify and exiend Its policy, because
it deals directly with so many
people, and on matters of such
Vital importance to them.

Take the Social Security aspect

alone. This is only one function
of Health, Edveation and Wel-
fare. Yet as many a5 700 persons
have visited the district office In
New York City in one day, the
fame day during which 500 tele-
phone calis were received, What
do all these people want? An-
awel's to Their Social Security
questions. And they get ‘em—fast, |

| Association {f every State member would elect to participate in the
payroll deduction plan for the payment of dues.

All of the cards have now been distributed, so that everyone

This plan is voluntary. There are no strings to it. It will be as
easy for every member to leave the plan as to come into it. If at
jany time a member desires to stop his payroll deduction for dues,
\all he has to do write the Compiroller,
| There are some misconceptions regarding this plan. It is held

By-Laws knows. Dues can only be raised at a regular delegates’
meeting by the vote of « majoriiy of the delegates,

How Plan Helps Association

| Another misconception is that participation in the plan will
not be of direct help to the Association because the most important
thing ts to pay the dues, and the method does not matter, It is true,

{gone into the payroll deduction plan it Is important for all of our

Postal Pay Interests
All Public Employees

HE fact that government pay levels have increased

in recent years does not deny that, in general, they

have lagged behind the advances in raises granted to em-

ployees in private industry, nor is it any secret that gov-
ernment is really hard to move,

While employees of government do not have at their
command all the weapons open to private industry em-
ployees, and therefore results are slower and less, never-
theless of equal importance perhaps is the inertia of gov-
ernment when faced with the necessity of making proper
pay adjustments,

Any time a convention of public employees is held,
pay is certain to be the main topic. The employees as a
whole, faced with the same demands put upon them by
high living costs as are the employees of private industry,
find themselves unable to make both ends meet. They
run into debt. Their borrowings from their pension sys-
tems, and from credit unions, attest to that. Fortunately
for them, they can borrow at such low rates. They are
thus able to escape the legal but exacting rates of private
lending organizations even if they cannot perhaps satisfy
all the requirements of a bank, which has rates much

Jower than those of its demanding competitors. |

But debt is not the answer, Never will the public em-
ployee attain his proper status until he is properly paid.

The Weather Vane

Government has a far-reaching responsibility on this
score, What it pays determines the quality it gets, Natur-
ally, it wants the best, and sometimes pays the least, hence
it doesn’t always get the best.

The Federal government has been frankest in ad-

mitting that its recent hirings at higher than the normal)

beginning rates have been for the dual purposes of getting
the quality of employee it requires, and retaining the
competent employees it has who otherwise would be at-
tracted by the fairer inducements of private industry.

In a large measure, what happens to postal pay is
a guide. When the post office clerks and carriers get a

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR

WANTS COURT TO DO
LOT OF DECIDING ON JOBS
Editor, The LEADER:

Litigation recently Instituted to
test the validity of upgrading un-
der the Career and Salary Plan
without holding promotion exam~-
inations was inevitable,

T shudder to contemplate what
will happen if the architects of
the Plan are not upheld by the
courts. I therefore suggest that
the following be given due consid-
eration: that all upgrading be
halted pending the court's final
decision, with the understanding
that any salary Increases upheld
shall be retroactive. The court
should also rule on whether or not
an incumbent, who holds a posi-
tion having no salary Hmit, may
in the future be upgraded with-
out a promotion examination, The
court should also decide whether
an incumbent who, at the time of
the desk audit, wax working out
of title, may be upgraded and ce-
mented in his job neverthless, The
court should also decide whether
or not an incumbent holding a po-
sition with a salary ceiling may
also be upgraded without promo-
tion examination.

Whether or not an incumbent
working out of title at the time
of the desk audit may get a for
different and even higher title
without examination should be ad-
| judiented, All upgrading should
be halted until all appeals In con-
| nection with such upgradings have
been heard and finally decided,
because stich decivions may ad-
versiey alfoct some of the up-
‘grading resulting from the desk
| audits,

ADEQUATE PAY FOR BRASS,
WHAT ABOUT LITTLE GUY?
Editor, The LEADER:

The Board of Estimate raised
the salary of Personnel Director
Joseph Schechter to $25,000, This
salary compares with the $16,000
paid to U. 8, Civil Service Com~
mission Chairman Philip P, Young,
and $18,500 to the State's Per-
sonnel Director, Alexander A, Fatk,

New York City's Police Com-
missioner gets $25,000, while the
FBI director, J, Edgar Hoover,
is paid $20,000, The state's Super-
intendent of Police gets $14,500,
while Chicago's Police Commis-
sioner is paid $13,500, These sal-
aries compare with the national
‘average for cities of more than
500,000 population of $12,666.

MODERN PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATION

In Case Applicant Can't Read

A San Francisco examiner has worked out a new method for
giving oral examinations to applicants for driver's licenses whe
cannot read English well enough to take a ‘written test.

The applicants are given printed forms with pictures of standard
California road signa, numbered to correspond with numbers on
4n answer sheet, Then a slow, precise voice ts played on a tape re=
corder which instructs those taking the test to “mark on your paper
the number of the sign which means ‘Signal Ahead.’ "

When the road sign part of the test has been completed, the
applicant is examined on his knowledge of the rules of the road.
The recorded volee asks true-false questions, and the applicant
marks symbols for right or wrong on his answer sheet,

The Department of Motor Vehicles is pleased with the prelim
inary results. The field chief believes its main advantages are its
thoroughness, the fact that {t will provide uniformity in testing,
and manpower-saving possibilities. With the tape recorder method
a single examiner can test a dozen or so applicants at once, re«
lensing other examiners for road tests and other duties,

After the technique has been improved, it may be translated
into other languages for testing non-English-speaking Californians,

The Cincinnatt 200 has an amusement section. Children pay
a small fee to drive gas-powered, miniature cars over a quarter-
mile course. Ten miles an hour is as fast as the cars can go, The
city's Safety Department furnished standard traffic signs so that
the youthful drivers see the same signs on the small course that
they will have to watch on highways when they have a driver's
Heense.

New Keyboards Don't Click

The General Services Administration of the Federal government
has turned down the idea of using typewriters with rearranged key-
boards, GSA assigned Dr. Earl Strong of Pennsylvania State Uni-
versity to experiment with the simplified keyboard. Dr, Strong’s
study Indicated that on five-minute drills, typists using the newly
designed keyboard showed less improvement In speed and were less
sccurate than typists using standard machines,

The door ts not completely closed on the new keyboard, how-
ever. GSA has decided that although it Is impractical to restrain
typists to learn the new method, further tests will have to be made
on the performance of typists whose skill is originally developed
on the rearranged keyboard,

How Much Can a Road Stand?

A method to enable engineers to make better judgments about
the weight a road can stand in being sought at Ohio State Uni-
veraiy, the American Public Works Association reporis,

The university's engineering experiment station is working on
sy of photographing the "give" of a road surface under the
eels of a moving vehicle. Now engineers more or less guess about
the effects of design, surface materials, soll composition, moisture,
and temperature on the carrying ability of roads.

The new mothod seeks to measure by photographs the amount
that a road bends under weight. Strips of tape are put on the
highway surface and are photographed by a special camera first
when there is no weight on the road and then as a loaded vehicle
passes over. The hopo ts that after mbout m year of testing, the
method may be ready for practical use in highway construction
and design.

vice Committees saying that when Congress reconyenes it
will certainly vote a postal raise,

All Eyes on Congress

If a postal raise is granted, and an increase enacted
for classified employees, the whole level of pay in other
branches of government is likely to be affected, It is cus-
tomary to compare state pay with Federal pay, and if
the Federal scale is higher, the state scale more likely
would be raised, Local communities compare their own
pay with that of the state for the same or similar jobs,
and in due time can be persuaded to bring theirs up to
the Federal standard. Also, if Federal pay is less than
state pay, state raises are difficult to obtain, The same
difficulty exists in local government, when the compar-
ison with State pay shows up in favor of the local gov-
ernment schedule,

For these reasons, employees in all jurisdictions will
watch with keen interest the pay developments on the
Federal scene, Not only is salary of the immediate future
affected, but also pensions, which aye based on salary,

WHAT TYPES of benofils are
paid under Social Security?

There are three types of pay-
ments under Social Seourity—re-
tirement, survivors, and disability
benefits, Monthly benefits are
payable upon retirement to an in-
sured Individual and certain de-
pendents, Upon the death of an
insured person, a lump sum if
payable and, in addition, monthly
benefits may be paid to certain
survivors, Beginning July, 1957,

quirements for disability insur-
ance payments \inder Socin) Se-
curity may recetve monthly bene-
fits, There are vo payments to de-
pendents of the disabled individ-

payments from another Govern-
ment agency, Will the Social
Security Administration accept
this as proof that I am disabled
50 that I ean qualify for the dis-
ability insurance benefits?

You can meet the requirements

for a disability bencfit only if you
are so severely disabled that you

sre not able to engage in any subs
stantial work, ond only if this
condition 1s expected to continue
indefinitely. If you are temporare
ily disabled, or if you axe only
partly dixebled, you are not elie
gible, The determination whether
you are so severely disabled as to
qualify under these provisions is
made in accordancé with the So~
celal Security Law, The fact that
you may be receiving payments
for total disability from another
agency does not necessarily mean
that you will be considered dis
abled under the social security
law.

MENTAL HYGIENE MEMO

By A. J. COCCARO
The Progressive Hospital Director

Our Hospitals and State Schools, although in the same Mental
Hygiene Department, still differ greatly depending on the local ad-

nilnistrative polley,

‘The differences in various positions, classification and alloca-
tlon among the schools and the hospitals In the department are ine
dicative of the effect the loca) administration has had through the
years in establishing the philosophy and character of each tnstitution,

In a modern hospital the director, physician administrator, {s
one who ts dedicated to the comfort and welfare of his patients, |
understands that to accomplish his mission, he must stso be tnter-
ested in employee morale and an active public relations programy

Patient Welfare — The welfare of the patients ts a prime con-

cern of this
this object in mind,

‘pe of director, The complete hospital program has

Proper and adequate drugs, medical supplies, food safety, laun-
Gry, housing facilities and therapy prograims are planned to provide
en environment for the patients that ts conducive to their early |
Tehabilitation, It takes a large group of able and Joyal employees |
aad staf to establish this wholesome environment,

Employee Morale

A contented employee ts loyal, courteous and kind. The pro-
gressive director does what he can to bring out these qualities in
the employee, He encourages Supervisors and Department Heads to
assist him with this assignment, He meets regularly with the em-
ployee committees to discuss thelr problems, He cannot make im-
mediate use of all suggestions submitted,

Urgent matters recelve his prompt attention. Less urgent matq
ters also recelye his consideration, Out of the many suggestions
come some that are not only good, but also rather easy to adopt,
and are promptly put in practice, After all ie bas one, two or three
thousand minds working for him,

Public Relations

‘The publte relations program

must be of the tone which shows

that the hospital understands it has aa obligation to the public

aud to the community,

‘This must be practised and expressed by all employees who meet
with the public, the patient's visitor, the volunteer worker, the

Montul Health Associations, the

focal officials and the numerous

elvlc and religious organizations as well as the community at large,

Having personally visited 18 Institutions ta the Department of
Mental Hygiene, I am pleased to note that this type director ts fot
alone, Fortunately, there are quite a few to his ranks, They will go
@ long way towards making our institutions @ place where our pub-
He will be glad to send their patients for early care and treatment
and ovr employees proud to be Mental Hygiene workers,

A bomb scare In the State Of-

an employee of the Department of

pose the following verse:

LET THE WORLD TAKE HEED
By Claudette Kelsey
‘Twas clear and cool

that August day,

The office stail was working away
Then came the news

A BOMB near by
But for As, and Markets we'd

slave tho die,

T'was almost 3;
no sound was made
Some thought of heaven
and some of hade
The air was ploomy,
the sky was dim
The future was looking
mighty slim

Some were feared,
the others were brave

They laughed and joked
about the grave

The clock ticked slower
each mintite repeat

| The time came closer

as each heart beat,

Tam telling this story,
to the world T'll send
How Ag. and Markets
worked to the end
The panic filled the little room
Cause Ag. and Markets
Just went boom,

P. S, This was no joke
We just all wont up in smoke

Epltaph

Here we lie In one big group

Cause when they found us,
we were like soup.
