Pay Raise Bill Studied
—Clearer, heads realize that
js the paychecks of Federal
workers should be increased as
they are compelled to work longer
hours, though no employees are
grumbling over extended hour:
To that end, the Council of Per-
sonnel Administration, an adjunct
of the Civil Service Commission,
has been studying a pay raise bill
that would get the approval of all
concerned, The LEADER can
reveal that the rough plan sug-
gests a bonus of $120 for all em-
ployees who are paid less than
$3,000. Employees paid more than
$3,000 wouldn't be affected in the
least under this plan.
9 —It's doubtful if the council
+ reports this plan to the Bud-
get Bureau, In fact, this plan is
sort of a joint project of the coun-
cil and the Budget Bureau as EB.
B, Young, personnel director of
the Budget Bureau, is conducting
the study for both the Budget Bu-
reau and the council. After all,
the World War 1 plan paid $240
bonuses only to employees who
were pafd $2,750 and less and the
fecling in official circles is pretty
much unanimous that Congress
would never raise the pay of an
employee in this emergency who is
paid more than $3,000 or $3,600 at
the most, Congressman Rams-
peck last week-end introduced a
pay-raise bill that will have ad-
ministration support.
Requirements Lowered
10,5222, cemtaments have
Js been lowered in an effort
to round up more eligibles to take
jobs in Washington. Stenos, can
now make a grade of 60 on the
typing part of the exam and still
pass the test, Seventy was the
former minimum,
11 Thousands of Federal em-
+ ployees will be called up
for military service under the Se-
lective Service Act. .This will
mean more vacancies to fill at a
time when the labor market is
critical, And that condition, in
turn, means the Government must
train more of its new employees

IF IT COMES
Congress has voted billions of dol-
Jars for the defense of our country.
Warships are being built, soldiers are
being trained, young men are learning
to fly, and factories are turning out
vast quantities of supplies to arm our
Army, Navy and Air Forces,
THIS IS FOR YOU...
All this is for the defense of our
country, to protect our shores, to pre-
vent invasion of our land and to pre-
serve our institutions.
We have learned of a new technique
in the invasion of countries, Therg is
no longer a “war zone.” An entire
country is subject to sudden, surprise
attacks. Every civilian is exposed to
danger. A vital part of our defense,
therefore, is that civilians be trained to
protect themselves and to know just
what to do in the event of an attack
from the air.
New York City is in litle danger of
attack from airplanes. But such an air
attack is not impossible. New York, as
the nerve center of the nation, presents
a tempting target which might justify
an enemy in taking great risks,
JUST IN CASE...
We must prepare now against this
possibility of aerial attack.
The Mayor has appointed an Emerg-
ency Board to draw up rules for the
protection of the citizens,
IF AN ATTACK SHOULD COME
If an attack should come Police and
Fire apparatus will sound the official
signal—a long blast followed by a short
blast repeated for 5 minutes. Learn to
keep calm—walk, never run, Do not be
frightened, Remain Calm. Obey orders,
Pay no attention to Rumor Mon-
gers. Do not listen to gossip.
Do not become panicky and above
all, do not permit anyone to cause any
fear, Even in times of peace, in
a congested city there is a grave danger
of people being injured by people be-
coming panicky, Whether it is a fire,
or a bursted water main, do your part
by not mingling with crowds, by not
rushing and running. We have learned
that it is easy to create a panic by just
a few people shouting, screaming and
racing in a given direction. Panic
stricken people impede firemen, the
police and other authorities who are
trying to protect them,
So keep cool—don’t be alarmed!
Just use common sense!
KEEP OFF THE STREET...
Avoid open spaces, streets and parks,
Leave bus, street car or auto,
Automobiles must be parked.
Seek shelter,
If you cannot find shelter in a build-
ing, lie down and protect the back of
your head,
IF YOU ARE INDOORS...

IN NEW YORK
ie Ui Di
It was Frid-y, December 5,
when every department heag i
the city got something in
mail to worry about: a request
to operate on less money next
1r—a lot less money.
On Monday, December 8, seV-
eval of the men who run New
York City’s departments hoped
that the War, whose offic’al
boginning had been on the pre-
vious day, would find it un-
necessa.y to cut budgets.
By Friday, December 12, they
knew that the original letter
od, in full, Its contents:
city's expenditures will
to be cut down drastically.
sloyees will be affected.
1e letter, over the signature
of Budget Director Kenneth D:
ton, read in part: ‘.... the City
faces a decrease in income and
an increase in mandatory expen-
if for the coming fiscal year
ating $25,000,001 .
ther must be 000,000 in ecoo-
es within departmental expen-
ditures next year. . ..

part of the economies can
be taken from such items as debt
service and pension contributions
because they are fixed by law.
‘The economies must be made in
the budgets of the operating de-
partments, They will require aver-
age reductions in present depart-
mental expenditures of seven per
cent, Departmental requests pre-
sented to this office ought to be
based on such a reduction, .. .
‘The amount of money available
1s beyond our control, Neither
the Budget Director, the Mayor
nor the Board of Wstimate can in-
crease it, For some years we
have managed to balance manda-
tory inereases partly by reduction
in short term debt and partly by
offsets which we have developed
from other funds, ‘There two
Sources of economy have been ex-
hausted, Economies from now on
must come in departmental ex-
penditures, If they are not made
by the department heads, they
must be made by this office and
the Mayor... .
In 1934, Employees Cooperated
“The department head has the
same problem as the business man
who has to continue business with
decreased income and higher costs
but who has to get results in spite
of this, It should be a matter
of pride to departments to con-
tinue to function efficiently even
under these limitations, Such a
result was attained in 1934, At
that time we had the sympathetic
ld and cooperation of all em-
ployees because they were im-
Pressed with the need for econ-
omy by the pay cuts then existing
and the threat of further pay
cuts, I am sure their aid and
©ooperation can be secured again.
Mr. Dayton offers a variety
of suggestions for cutting ex-
penses, including efficient use of
materials, substitution of less ex-
pensive items than those
used, reorganization, curta
activities which can be cur
ayoiding the use of materials over
which there are priorities, no new
equipment unless it can save more
money than it costs, elimination
of paper work.
Of particular interest to city em-
ployees is that section of Mr. Day-
ton’s letter dealing with econo-
mies in the field of personal
service. Said the Budget Director:
Employees to Be Transferred
here should be a review of
the duties and the performance
of every employee. Every large
department, and many smaller
ones, have corners where you will
find employees hidden who can be
released for other work or can
be transferred to fill vacancies
either in your department or
other departments. , Many
times your subordinates will argue
that the service of these indi-
viduals is necessary when in fact
it is not. The department head
himself will have to seek out and
identify these c Please un-
derstand that it is not proposed
to drop these employees but to
transfer them where the City
needs them, We will find’ those
places. .
More Work in View
“In many cases individual em-
ployees will have to assume more
work than they are now doing. I
do riot propose that any employee
shall be unduly burdened, but I
am sure there are many cases
where better organization and
routines can accomplish the same
work with fewer employees, Hasy-
going personnel policies will have
to be eliminated,
Most departmental representa-
tives queried by The LEADER
stated they would be compelled
to leave present and probably fu-
ture vacancies unfilled.
In the Sanitation Department,
there are at present approxi-
mately 500 unfilled vacancies.
In the Welfare Department, the
policy of not filling vacancies has
continued for some time, It {s
Known that the Budget Bureau
is now quietly investigating the
Welfare Department, with a view
to bringing personnel to its ab-
solute minimum, One rumor last
week was to the effect that if the
104 veteran provisional investiga~
tors go, the positions will be left
unfilled,
In the Finance Department, old-
timers have been asked to retire.
‘The Parks Department has been
seriously undermanned, It will
remain 80,
The situation with regard to the
Police and Fire Department 1s
obscure, They should be brought
up to full strength, but the Mayor
has consistently vefused to au-
thorize the increase, There has
been talk to the effect that re-
tired members of both forces will
be brought into active service,

City Civil Service Gears for War
Out Vast Program " Speedily, Efficiently
Commission Works
PAUL J. KERN
President of the New York City
Civil Service Commission
Moving with blitzkreig rapid-
ity, the Municipal Civil Service
Commission overnight speeded
up and revised its procedures
last week as the war emergency
immediately indicated that the
Commission's work will be a
vital link in putting the victory
program into effect.
The following facts and pre-
dictions, of importance to every
employee, eligible, and candidate
i , are already
in every division of
ission will go for de-
work, For example, such
fense
examinations as those for jobs at
LaGuardia airport will be con-
ducted and rated ahead of all
others, Not only will the t
for patrolman and conductor be
continued on schedule as usual,
but the Commission will try to
hurry them along also, on the
ground that they are vital to de-
NYC Civil
Service
Placed on War Footing
New York City Civil Service is
officially in the war.
Last week, in a short, pointed
executive order to all city depart-
ment heads,-Mayor LaGuardia is-
sued the first rules governing the
revised conditions.
Last week, too, the Civil Service
Commission sent out telegrams to
400 eligibles on the new Fireman
list, offering them positions as
watershed guards, at $1,800 a
year, The work is largely up-
state, guarding New York City's
water supply against possible
sabotage.
The Mayor's order read:
“We are in a state of war. You
will be guided accordingly. De-
fense, military and Federal ac-
tivities have precedence over
everything, All rules pertaining
to employees of the city are sub-
ject to emergency condition and
the work at hand. The work day
shall continue while there is work
to be done that day.
“No vacancies in the clerical
grades are to be filed.
“Key employees are to be on
call at all times of the night.
“Paper work is to be reduced
to an absolute minimum. Em-
ployees may be transferred wher=
ever needed.”
Meanwhile, all city departments
geared themselves to act on an
emergency footing, and to take on
all duties as they come along.
— — a ad
fense efforts. The Commission is 30,000 jobs in the price-fixing
making extra efforts to get a setup. Second, several lists, in-
large filing for Apprentice (Auto-
tive Trades), realizing that the
potentially skilled talent un-
covered will be vital to the na-
tion.
Speed Certifications
2. Delay in’ certifications and
appointments are to be cut short,
We had an example of the new
speed this week when the new
fireman list, barely out of the
Commission’s machine room, was
immediately certified for patrol-
man-on-aqueduct, a job necessary
for the civilian defense.
3. The City Commission will aid
in recruiting for Federal jobs.
This has already taken on two
aspects. First, President Paul J.
Kern spent Monday in Washing-
ton, conferring with Price Con-
trol officials on finding and ex-
amining candidates for some
cluding Patrolman, P. D., Special,
have already been certified for
Federal positions. This is but the
forerunner of greater work along
these lines.
4, The Bureau pf Training of
the Commission, engaged for
months in defense work, will be-
come even more important in de-
veloping and improving needed
skills, An example of its speed
came early this week, when with-
in two hours the way was cleared
for a course in bombardment pro-
tection in prisons, Details give
an idea of future courses. It will
be compulsory for the 1,300 em-
ployees of the Correction Depart-
ment, who will hear lectures on
Wednesdays beginning December
17 for two hours from 3-5 p. m.,
on the city’s time. Two hundred
employees will be taken in at
first, and they are to serve as in-
structors for the other 1,100.

mission will also use its facilities
for training Americans as well in
the same type work.
6. Probably most important, al-
though its only in the ‘‘in-the-
wind” stage, is a tremendous
exam for retired city employees
and women to determine what
qualifications they have for war
work. They will then be used to
replace city employees called into
military service. Its significance
during a long war is staggering.
Eligibles on city lists have al
ready been urged by the Commi:
sion not to contact Federal of-
ficials about their chances for
Federal jobs, The Commission,
in informing eligibles that their
names have been submitted to the
Federal Government, states the
following:
“All Out Cooperation”
‘his is in accordance with our
policy of providing all possible
opportunities for eligibles on our
lists, and our further policy of
all out cooperation with the war
effort. If the Federal Gove
ment reaches your name, you will
be notified directly by the appro-
priate office, Under the Presi-
dent's order they have power to
appoint you as a Federal Civil
Service employee from this local
list since the standards of this
local examination are equivalent
to those of the similar Federal
test.
“Please do not trouble Federal
agencies with further inquiries
about this matter during the
present critical emergency. But
feel free at all times to inquire
of this Commission as to any
further data you may wish. Ac-
ceptance of a Federal position on
this certification will not affect
your eligibility for appointment
to a city job if and when you are
reached.”

Youngsters Will Perform
Man-Sized Jobs for City
Announced last week as a
defense measure, the tes: of the
Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission for apprentice (zuto-
snotive trades) has taken on
great significance with tho ad-
vent of the war emergency.
The purpose of the test re-
s the same: to train at the
expense a group of
talented youngster. who have
proven, by courses in high
school as well as competitive
exam, that they have me-
chanical aptitude, Through this
apprentice scheme, it is felt
that a reservoir of — skilled
craftsmen will constantly be
available,
‘Today that purpose becomes
vital to the effort.
with more an more men taken
into the military forces, skilled
youngsters may soon have to do
man-size jobs. With the prdjected
extension of the craft minimum
to 18, those under 18 may be
needed immediately, —
‘The written Apprenticestest; ac-
war For
counting for 80 per cent of the
final mark, will determine both
general intelligence and me-
chanical aptitude, ‘The remaining
20 per cent goes for the physical.
No Minimum
There is no minimum age re-
quirement on the test, although
the State Education Law and the
Child Labor Law prohibit em-
ployment generally of youngsters
under 18, However, the Appren-
tice work may be considered
training and hence come under
the heading of education, The
top age is 25, Full details appear
on page 12, |
This test was to be an experi-
ment for the city, although the
Federal Government has con-
ducted similar apprentice courses
for years. It is likely now that
the city will not even wait to see
if the automotive trades test is
successful but go right ahead
with plans for apprentice tests in
other fields.
‘Those who get the 50 Apprentice
vacancies now, open will be paid
$2.80 a day on a 250-day basis for
the first year, then get $1 a day
more each year for four years.
At the end of the four-year period
they will be considered skilled
workers
NEW TITLES FOR
HOUSING WORKERS
AND TRAINED NURSES
Two of the New
York City Civil Service Commis-
sion, revising housing and nurs-
ing titles, were approved last
week by the State Civil Service
Commission,
In the housing resolution,
titles of management assistant
(housing), building manager
(housing), and director of bureau
of tenant relations (New York
City Housing Authority) were
removed from the clerical service.
In their places now comes the
housing service, with this set-up:

but not including $1,800 per annum,
jousing assistant —$1,800 “up to
but not including $2,400 per annum,
Senior housing assistant — $2,400
up to but not including $3,000 per
annum,
Assistant buildings manager —
$3,000 up to but not including $4,000
per annum,
Buildings Manager—$4,000 per an-
num and over,
Director of tenant relations—$6,000
per annum and over,
The title of trained nurse was
removed from the non-competitive

by the order of standing on the

Why It's Puzzling
‘The puzzling problem of seniority
for _street-car operators was
tors. Eligibles high on the list
were among the first to accept
the Gommission’s offer of a
traiaing course. Thus, an elibible
with a number of approximately
1,500 could have been appointed
in July, while an eligible with a
number of approximately 750, who
did not decide to accept the train-
ing course until the fall could not
haye been appointed until October.
The seniority’ records will be
changed so that the candidates
who finished number 750 on the
list will have greater seniority
than the candidate who finished
1,500, although the latter may
have worked for a longer period
of time.

Applications for Patrolman open in January and the examination is expected in May
Few men regardless of physical condition or education can hope to pass either the physical
or mental test with a high percentage without specialized training. During the last twenty-five
years close to 90% appointed to and promoted in the Police Department have been prepared by us.
Any young man who is interested in taking the coming Patrolman test is invited to call
and be examined by our physician without cost, attend a mental class and take a physical trial ex
amination to ascertain what percentage he can make. The special features of our physical train-
ing are the 12 laps to a mile track on the roof of our gymnasium, the agility test and the coordi-
nation machines.

Increasing the Force
Now that war has been declared,
policemen will find themselves in
the front line of civilian defense.
Not only should the yacancies in
the department be filled immedi-
ately, but the force should be in-
creased considerably, , , . As soon
as the present eligible list is used
up, the department n find an
bir of trained men
in the 400 special patrolmen who
took, and passed, the same exam
as the cops on the regular list.
Not only have these boys obtained

already received one month's

trolmen point out that, under civil

ferred right into the Police De-
partment from their present jobs
becau they passed the same

We cannot over-emphasize the close relationship between the ability
to use language and successful Civil Service competition. Last week's
article explained the importance of vocabulary in the development of
your language usage. We had begun to demonstrate by several methods
how you should proceed to enrich your vocabulary. We shall continue
with each succeeding article to include additional methods and con-
tinue giving exercises in vocabulary building.
In our analysis of the General Mental Test, we demonstrated the
tionship between general intelligence and facility of language
usage. We pointed out, further, that the elements of language usage
include, among other essentials, reading comprehension, For you,
the civil service candidate, it is especially important to possess a ready
abiilty to understand reading passages. Paragraphs on diverse sub-
jects are frequently included as part of the civil service examination,
We shall, therefore, indicate here the several methods by which you
can improve your reading comprehension,
Improving Your Reading
If you analyze a paragraph, you'll find that there is a central idea
every one, called a topic sentence, from which all other sentences
The topic sentence may occur at the beginning, in the middle, or
at the end of a paragraph. The development of the topic sentence may
take the form of presenting details, of showing a comparison or a con-
trast, of listing examples, or of citing causes or results. Whatever the
method used, you must remember that the topic sentence is the clue
for the main idea or central thought of the whole paragraph. It is
similar to the headline or lead in a newspaper article, It gives you at
a glance the theme or subject matter of the article, The supporting
ideas are merely a detailed development of the thought of the topic
sentence.
re
Reading Interpretation
In answering Reading Interpretation questions, you must learn to
visualize the subject of the paragraph, Find the topic sentence, Then
you can immediately “spot” the correct alternative of those offered
in the series following each Reading Interpretation question, For
example, the following Reading passage and question appeared in the
General Qualifying Language Test of a U. S. Civil Service Commis-
sion:
(Readin,
foreign
“The mind that quickly and fully shuts out
hts and stimull, “und “concentrates quickly,
ly, and continuously upon the problems in
pected to get maximum results in terms of unde
lecting, and organizing the essentials of the s
maiter that is being reid."
The suctenon indicates that (A) the more rapidly we
read, the less information we acquire in a given time (B)
selecting the essential material enables one to concentrate
continuously upon a problem (C) complete exclusion of unre-
lated matters enables a person to acquire the best under-
stunding of what he reads (D) a definite system of organ-
izing one’s thoughts is more important than concentration
(E) the mind concentrates more eas'ly when prompted by
external stimull
Ability to grasp the main thought of this selection that the mind
that quickly excludes foreign thought and stimuli obtains a maximum
understanding of the subject being read will enable you to ‘spot’ the
correct answer, which in this sentence is (C)—the third alternative.
The fundamentals of paragrapn structure should always be kept
in mind,
Read the selection once to find the central thought or topic
Then read the passage a second time, Check your first)
tion. Eliminate all false impressions obtained from the first
reading. Observe all thoughts in the paragraph and attempt to grasp
in ideas that are stressed. Eliminate unimportant words and
Beware of reading into the selection any of your own ideas
on the subject. The correct interpretation is based upon the material
contained in the paragraph and not upon your personal opinions. (Note |
that what we are stating here is completely identical with the main
thought of the Reading example quoted

Women Placed in Important Jobs
In Motor Responsibility Office
ALBANY.—State Tax Commis-
sioner Mark Graves has an-
nounced the appointment of two
women, present employees of the
Tax Department, who will have
charge of the Albany and New
York City offices of the individ-
ual security section of the new
Safety Responsibility Division
which begins operation January 1
under the Page-Anderson auto
insurance law.
In charge of the Albany office
will be Miss Alice Fitzgerald,
presently the chief account clerk
in the Treasury Division, In
charge of the New York office
and working under Miss Fitz-
gerald will be another veteran
employee of the department, Mrs.
Ethel Cocheu, now chief clerk in
the administration bureau, in
charge of printing and purchas-
ing, Each of the two offices will
be staffed by five or six additi-
onal employees who probably will
be transferred from existing jobs.
No change of title is contemplat-
ed at the moment for either Miss
Fitzgerald or Mrs, Cocheu, both
of whom are being transferred to
their new positions because of the
long service, excellent records and
dependable administrative ability.
In effect the two women will
act as bankers for the State since
the offices which they will con-
duct will be the depository for an
estimated $10,000,000 in cash
surety bonds and security put up
by motorists under the law. Any
person not insured who is in-
volved in an accident resulting in
more than $25 in personal or prop-
erty damages must file with the
State sufficient security or col-
lateral to cover any subsequent
judgment resulting from the ac-
cident. The amount to be de-
posited will-be determined by the
State's evaluators and adjudica-
tors.
‘Thus it will become the duty of
those in charge of this new in-
dividual security section to ac-
cept the required cash or collat-
eral and to place it in a desig-
nated bank for safe keeping.
This means the maintenance of
separate accounts and it is esti-
mated that when the law starts
rolling a year hence there will be
not fewer than 50,000 such de-
posit accounts in each of the New
York and Albany offices. Be-
sides keeping tabs on the de-
posits when made the offices will
have to keep their books balanced
just like a bank and make dis-
bursements as a result of judg-
ments in order to do so.
More than a score of new pro-
visional appointees were mean
while announced by Commissioner
Graves.
Pros and Cons of DPUI Under U. S.
Prevailing Rate of Pay Advocated for State Employees -
ALBANY — Commissioner
Frieda S, Miller, of the State
Labor Department, speaking at
the legislative conference of the
State Federation of Labor in Al-
bany, said she could not at this
time pass conclusively and finally
upon .the proposed scheme to
bring the DPUI under U, S. su-
pervision. Governor Lehman,
meanwhile, has directed a study
of the proposal by various State
agencies, withholding his own
position on the proposition until
he knows all sides of it.
Commissioner Miller said it was
possible that federalization of so-
cial security might have the ef-
fect of bringing the entire coun-
try-wide administration to a level
comparable with “the more ad-

vanced State systems.” She feels,
too, that “it is not easy to fore-
cast federal legislation,” and that
the systent might suffer for this
reason.
Of interest to actual and po-
tential State workers was her
comment urging the Federation
of Labor to lend assistance in get-
ting an increase of $100,000 in the
Labor Department budget appro-
priation for industrial accident
prevention. She said the money
is badly needed by the division of
hygiene in the department to set
up additional laboratories and
field staffs, particularly upstate,
“to make available to the defense
industries the kind of service we
ought to give them and they
ought to have.”
Ask Prevailing Pay
A resolution passed by the Fed-
eration provides for legislation re-
quiring the payment of the pre-
vailing rate of wage to all public
employees engaged on public
works projects, The-law now re-
quires private contractors doing
work for the State or any of its
subdivisions to pay the prevailing
rate of wages to all men employed
on the job, the rate usually be-
ing the local union scale. Now
the Federation believes that pub-
lic employees themselves should
be given the same consideration
the State requires of public con-
tractors.
No action was taken on a pro-
posal to seek legislation which
would bring laborers, mechanics,
and canal employees, all paid on
a per diem or season basis, under
the unemployment insurance act.
This may be considered again
later.

Training in
Air Instruments
Although aircraft production is
booming, our next march toward
impregnable defenses is being
held back by the need of trained
aircraft instruments mechanics,
Planes alone are not the answer.
Aircraft instruments must be pro-
duced in greater quantities as
they are ‘the “heart and lungs”
of the entire aircraft industry.
Frank B, Lown, Director of
Eastern Aircraft Instrument
School invites anyone interested
to consult with him in helping to
fill this gap. The school is at
100 West 42nd Street. A branch
is at 116 Newark Avenue, Jersey

Civil Servants in War
E WILL win this war.
In the winning of it, th of you
who work for the government will
play a major role. For public service is
the first line of civilian defense. Upon
you devolves not only the efficient run-
ning of the ordinary tasks of government.
But more: the people of this nation will
look to you for guidance, for aid, for sus-
tenance. You will be called upon to share
dangers—indeed, you will be expected to
take greater risks, to help protect the rest
of the populace from the terrors of war.
Your everyday work may be in large part
war work.
You are now the leaders. Ci
must accept the’
and confidence.
What specifically can you do now—im-
mediately?
You should join one of the volunteer
services. There are many tasks to be per-
il servants
new role with courage
formed, and somewhere you'll find yours, ~
whether it be as air-raid warden or aux-
iliary fireman or ambulance driver or de-
molition and clearance worker or fire-
watcher. Both for men and for women,
there is plenty of work to be done. Get in
there and do it!
_The morale of the American people is
high. Help keep it that way. The Presi-
dent’s injunction to avoid rumor applies
first of all to you—because many lay per-
sons might think that your position in pub-
lie service gives your say-so added weight. -
A word to department heads, super-
visors, and personnel officers: Your re-
svonsibilities are great. You must do
everything within your power to keep fric-
(ion at a minimum. There must be the
highest kind of give-and-take relationship
hetween you and the people under you.
Into many departments, vast new hordes
of employees will be streaming. They
raust be selected on a democratic basis—
merit alone. This is a fight for democ-
racy, and we can’t aid that struggle by
practicing here the theories we are fight-
ing abroad.
Much will be demanded. Much must
be given.
We have a war to win.
We will win it.
The LEADER will try to keep you thor-
ughly informed of everything that af-
fects you as a government employee.
l'lease let us have your help in this task.
te us and tell us what problems, what
iestions have arisen out of this war that
wu’d like to have answered, Give us your
iggestions for the kind of news you feel
e should carry. We'll go to official
urces, comb every avenue of informa-
mn,

Height Requirements
For License Examiner
Sirs: I have addressed the fol-
lowing to the State Civil Service
Commission:
In a recent edition of the news-
papers the requirements for the
Motor Vehicle Examiner test were
published,
One of the specifications noted by
the writer was that of the height
being raised an additional inch
from the last examination,
As a man may secure a driver's
license, be inducted into the Army,
who is only 5 feet 5 inches in
height, it would appear that there
is a discrimination in this examina~
tion against short men.
Do you not agree that if nature
hasn't seen fit to grant a man
height, but has given him the in-
itiative to obtain an education and
the ability to apply it, he will be
just as good a representative of the
Department of Taxation and Fi-
nance as the tall man?
As an example for my asking for
a reduction in the height of 5 feet
6 inches or at least some allowance
made for shorter men, I am listing
some of my own qualifications:
1, Being employed as assistant of-
fice manager I have obtained 8
pervising experience,
2, Then, too, since my duties in-
clude interviewing merchants when
they call at the office I have the
ability to deal with all types of in-
dividuals,
3, As I am a stenographer and
have done correspondence work I
have the ability to write up intelll-
gent reports,
“MAJOR, how are you going to
get the training facilities organ-
ized?”
“And Major, how will blackouts
be controlled?”
“And Major, how can you absorb
all the people who have volunteered
for civilian defense activity within
the past few days?”
And Major Edward G. Riekert,
takes it all in his stride,
giving staccatto words back to the
reporters who are surrounding him,
answering his phone, pointing out
on a chart how his office is organ-
ized, giving directions to employees
who walk in and out for instruc-
tions.
Later, relaxing for a moment in
his chair, his eyes closed with fa-
tigue, the Major admits: ‘It's a
24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week job.”
Major Riekert is executive direc-
tor of the Office of Civilian De-
fense. It is his job to see to it

he enlisted in the 23rd Regiment

was a hardened old veteran of 19

service in France. In World Y

Returning from the wars a ser.

organizations and maintained his
connections with military affairs
by entering active duty in the
State Guard, 69th Regiment. In
the Guard, he rose to his present
rank of Major.
Joins Armory Board-
In 1936, iekert was appointed
secretary of the New York City
Armory Board, And it was from
this position that Mayor LaGuardia
drafted him to be executive director
of the Civilian Defense set-up,
The importance of the job will
grow. It is only necessary to
watch for a few moments the nc-
tivity of the office to see how it
will flower into a vital government
activity— perhaps the most vital
civilian activity next to actual war
production, The job which lies be

which Major Riekert now performs

Height requirements are not ar-
bitrarily set. The height require-
ment usually has a definite pur-
pose. Of course, it hits short men
hard, but the Civil Service Commis-
sion can usually advance strong
arguments for its height re-
quirements.—EDITOR.
Speaking Of
Preference
Sirs: Knowing that your paper
will publish any legitimate letter,
I’m sending you the following one
with the hope you will print it.
During the past Police and Fire-
man examinations the Civil Service
Commission granted five points
preference to all successful candi-
dates who happen to hold certain
degrees or excelled in athletics, If
anyone should be entitled to such
preference, don’t you think it
should be given to the boys who
are serving in the armed forces
of our country during the present
emergency?
‘They at least are giving up some-
thing—a year or more of their life,
comforts of home, family, ete.
Most of these boys aren't asking
for anything in return, However,
if the Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission infends to continue grant-
ing such preference, I’m sure the
boys in uniform would appreciate
themselves being included as eli-
gible for such preference in all fue
Service subject.

Question, Please
by H. Eliot Kaplan
Contributing Editor
Military List
R.B.K.: If the present eligible
list for patrolman should expire
before you are released from the
army, you will not be affected,
provided that you have notified
the Civil Service Commission of
the fact that you are in the army.
As soon as you are released from
the army, communicate with the
Civil Service Commission and you
will be placed on a special mili-
tary preferred list which will be
good for a period of one year.
Appointments from this list will
have to be made before any ap-
pointments can be made from an
eligible list established as a re-
sult of a future examination.
Probationary Period
For Firemen
J.S.: You will have to serve the
regular probationary period of six
months when you are appointed
to the Fire Department as fire-
man. The fact that you were in
the army when reached for ap-
pointment July 1, does not do
away with your probationary
period, If, however, you had been
cajled into military service during
your probationary period, you
would receive credit for the re-
mainder of your probationary
period while in the army. Upon
your return to your job, you
would not have to finish out your
probationary period.
Eligibles May Decline
“Appropriate” Job
L.B.: You can accept or decline
any appropriate job offered to
you as a result of your place on
the new fireman list, and you will
still remain on the list eligible for
appointment to the Fire Depart-
ment, as fireman.
Late Application
J.B.: We doubt very much if
the Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission will accept your applica~
tion for office appliance operator
now. The last date for accepting
applications for this examination
was October 27. The fact that
your application, mailed prior to
October 27, was returned by the
postman because of insufficient
postage, does not entitle you to
admittance to this test. You may
write to the Civil Service Com-
mission and request that your ap:
plication be accepted, if you wish.
Explain the circumstances thor-
oughly, but do not be hopeful of a
favorable decision.
Standing on U.S. List
R.D.M,: There is no way of de-
termining your standing on the
federal list for apprentice, Goy-
ernment printing office, as the
U. 8. Civil Service Commission
does not release its registers for
publication, It is not the policy
of The LEADER to estimate
chances for appointment on fed-
eral lists because of the various
factors which influence these ap-
pointments.
F.B.I. Exams
K.M.: The Federal Bureau of
Investigation issues its own ap-
plications, conducts its own ex-
aminations, establishes its own
registers, For information con-
cerning any position in the F.B.1,
write directly to the F.B.I,, Wash-
ington, D. C,
Elevator Promotions
G.B,; The promotion test for
elevator operator is open only to
hospital helpers, hospital attend-
ants, and maintenance men em-
ployed in the Department of Hos-
Pitals. If you were employed in
any one of these titles prior to
your induction into the Navy, you
may file an application for this
examination eyen-though you are
now assigned to duty in the Naval
Hospital in Brooklyn. Applica-

Declining a Job
B.V.: When you are certified
by the Municipal Civil Service
Commission to the Board of
Transportation for a position as
car maintainer, you may decline
the certification because of tem-
porary inability. You may also
write to the Commission and re-
quest that your name be removed
from the eligible list for a period
of one year because of your em-
ployment on a vital defense proj-
ect, There is no way of determ-
ining how long your position in
this federal defense agency will
last. A permanent appointment
as a car maintainer in the Board
of Transportation should be a
lifetime job.
Transfer
A.N.I.: Write to the U. S. Civil
Service Commission, Washington,
D, C., and request them to trans-
fer your name from the male
typist register for appointment in
Washington, D. C., to the male
typist register for appointment in
New York City and vicinity, if
you wish to obtain a federal
typist position in New York City.

pointment is 10,048, The new list
has been certified down to 3,108
for women outside the five bor-
oughs, while appointments have
reached to 2,549. The new list
hasn't been touched for women
inside the city.
All male zone 1 eligibles on the
new list have been canvassed,
along with all but 70 women, A
total of 435 permanent appoint-
ments have been made from the
old list, 72 from the new Mst, In

summary of how they feel: We

anyone, ‘The trouble is that New
York City applicants won't take
jobs outside the city, where there
are relatively few jobs. In insti-
tutions on Long Island and up-
state, the situation is grave for

the help they can get. Civil Serv-

Alabaster
Smee the earliest known civiliza-
tions, the alabaster has been used
by man as a decorative stone. Be-
cause of its translucence and rare
coloring, Colorado Alasbaster casts
@ cozy rose glow when illuminated.
‘The light is not strong enough to
read by, but adds a touch of warm
color to the room, All items are
cut from solid stone, no castings
or artificial coloring’ is used. In
addition this very beautiful ma-
terial is now being taken up by
manufacturers for every-day p:ac-
tical uses such as: desk sets, fig-
ure stands, clock-shells, display

“THE MEN IN KER LIFE,”
a Columbia Picture at the Radio
City Music Hall, starring Loretta
Young, concerns the story of a
young circus bareback rider in
the middle 1800's, with a burning
ambition to become a great bal-
lerina,
The men in her life include
Conrad Veidt, as the stern but
kindly ballet-master; John Shep-
perd as her first love, and Dean
Jagger as Lina’s American Hus-
band. Otto Kruger and Eugenie
Leontovich turn in fine perform-
ances,
On the Music Hall Stage is
another spectacle of music and
dance titled, “Do You Remem-
ber?”
“BIRTH OF THE BLUES,”
Bing Crosby's new Paramount
picture, under the direction of
Victor Schertzinger, at the Para-
mount Theatre, {s first-class en-
tertainment and sure to please
the Crosby fans for its sweet, hot
and blue rhythm all at the same
time.
‘The story is set in New Orleans
at the turn of the century, and
depicts young Jeff Lambert cap-
turing the strange rhythms of the
colored folks on his clarinet, He
forms the first white band to play
that type of music, and as the
plot progresses Bing has a chance
to sing such popular numbers as
“Melancholy Bab; Wait 'Til
the Sun Shines, Nellie,” (with
Mary Martin) and ‘By the Light
of the Silvery Moon,” Mary Mar-
tin, Brian Donlevy, Rochester
and little Carolyn Lee round out
the cast very effectively,
On the stage, Orrin Tucker's
band presents a smooth combina-
tion. Clever, lighted musical notes
are used in an original novelty
number and Wee Bonnie Baker,
‘The Bodyguards and an acrobatic
team featuring Walter Dare Wahl
are exceptionally well received,
You won't be disappointed in
this Christmas program at the
Paramount, so make a date to
see “Birth of the Blues.”

hostess—the bad girl. Others in |
the cast include Priscilla Lane,
Lloyd Nolan and Jack Carson.
Anatole Litvak directed the pic-

On the stage is Count Basie and

announced by Brigadier General
Lewis B. Hershey on Sunday, who
said frankly that women would
replace men wherever needed. It
is confirmed by the New York
State Employment Service, which
says that the number of women
will rise precipitously in these
trades:
. . assembling
“process labor operation
«packing
drill press operation
<Power press operation
manufacture of electrical
machinery.
In the clerical field, the short-
age is already enormous. Here's
an important tip—and this goes
for women over 40 as well as
younger women: LEARN STEN-
OGRAPHY. Any competent sten-
ographer can get a job today.
The government just last week
sent out an urgent call for sten-
ographers to come to Washington
at once, Women who prefer some
other clerical occupation, such as
card punch operation, or working
an addressograph machine—even
addressing by hand—should either
begin at once to learn the field,
or if she is already accomplished
in it, she can find a job immedi-
ately through the Civil Service
Commission, the State Employ-
ment Service or directly in pri-
vate industry.
There will be no prejudice
against women in government
service. Those agencies which
have practiced discrimination in
the past, won't do it in the future.
Married women needn't fear that
their status will deprive them of
employment.
Roughly, the situation after one
week of war can be summed up
What war has done in Eng-
land: Here's a lass in the
British civil service — acting
as a letter carrier,
thus: Any woman with a useful
vocation can get a job. Any
woman who would like a job but
has no vocation ought to begin
training at once. She should
train in a field that interests her
—and she needn't fear to learn
one of the defense trades. Re-
quirements on civil service ex-
aminations may be expected to
lower, and in the majority of
cases no written test will be nec-
_ essary.
We talk in terms of a war-
time government taking on any-
thing from 500,000 to 1,000,00¢
persons. The bulls of this expan-
sion will be for such tasks as
stenographers, typists, clerks, etc.
Remember that for each adminis-
trator hired, we need half a dozen
to many times that number of
minor employee:

ilities already
in existence. Upstate, pre-em-
ployment training courses have
already been open to women, and
in th this will spread to New
York City as well. The State Em-
ployment Service offices can in-
form you of all training courses,
Among the defense occupations
in which training is necessary are
solderin, lens grinding, welding,
electric crane operation, engine
lathe, milling machine operation,
Upstate training courses for
which women are eligible are in
soldering, drill press, coil wind-

reading, operation of lathe, drill-
press, shaper, and milling-ma-

In the metropolitan area, the
State Employment Service ex-
pects openings in the manufac-
ture of communications equip-
ment, production of meters and
instruments, making of small
products or iron and steel, air-
craft in Nassau and Suffolk.
Training courses in riveting, fab-
rication, and blueprint reading
are expected to have 50 per cent
female enrollment, with only resi-
dents of the two Long Island
counties eligible.
What you should do:
1. Follow the civil service exam-
ination announcements carefully.
2. Register with the State Em-
ployment Service.
3. Begin immediately to train
yourself for an opening—there will
be shortages in most industrial
fields, and the need for stenogra-
phers and clerical workers will
increase. Women over 40
