WASHINGTON — The
U. 8. Civil Service Commis-
gion has cracked down on
Government agencies with
regard to using Selective
Service records for finding
out the physical condition of

“pmployees or prospective em-

loyees. It is known that

lective Service Headquar-
ters had long frowned on the
policy of investigators’ using
data from its files.

Investigators from the Commis-

sion and other agencies had prev-
iously had access to these records.
‘They used them extensively, but

there were numerous complaints |

that the information gained was |

misconstrued and used unjustly to
fire persons and keep others from
getting jobs.

Now Confidential

‘The order prohibiting the use
of these records stated that the
Selective Service records will from
now on be strictly confidential and
it pointed out that physical exam-
inations made in accordance with
the Selective Training and Serv-

Price Five Cents

foe Act are concerned with fitness
for military duty and not with fit-
ness for civilian employment

In concurring with Selective
Service in this matter, U. 8. Civil
Service Commission issued the
following in a circular to other
agencies:

“The Commission is also of the
opinion that it would not be justi-
fiable to require employees or
prospective employees to furnish
such statements on the ground
that they would be a means of re-
vealing evidence of communicable
disease. The laws of the various

states provide for the reporting of
communicable diseases to State |
health officers, and it has been the |
practice of examining physicians
who are performing examinations
in connection with the Selective
Training and Service Act to bring
to the attention of the appropriate
civil authority any instances of
communicable disease which they
may find. Any necessary follow-
up will be made by the health
authorities to see that such condi-
tions are suitably cared for.”

eral agencies in the health of
their employees is a progressive
step which will help the Federal
service match the efforts of priv-
ate industry in protecting the
health of its employees. In such
& program, théSCommission ap-
preciates the desirability of secur-
ing an accurate appraisal of an
employee's, or prospective em-
ployee’s, physical capacities or
limitations. However, it is desired
to offer a word of caution as to
the source of such information,

It has been suggested that an
accurate summary of the physical
condition of an employee or ap-

| plicant who has been classified in

4-F could be obtained by request-
ing the individual to furnish a
statement from his local board
giving the reasons for the 4-F
classification. The Commission

Permanent NYC Bonus
Pay Plan Wins Support

The question of
the cost-of-living bonus of
New York City employees on
@ permanent basis is due for
action when hearings begin
on the 1 46 budget be-
fore the board of Estimate,

To date, two members of the
Board of Estimate—which has the

putting |

power to revise budget items up-
wards—have indicated their sup-
port behind the move to grant a
permanent increase to the City
employees.

In his budget message, Borough
President Edgar J. Nathan, Jr., of
Manhattan said:

“In my opinion living conditions
today require that the temporary

cost-of-living bonus previously
granted should be made a perm-
anent increase. This would not
increase the budget, as the amount
of the bonus is now included. It
would, however, add slightly to the
pension contribution required by
the City.”

In addition, President Nathan
suggested a $60 a year increase to

all City employees except:
1. Exempt employees; 2, those
who received individual increases
during 1944-5; 3. those covered by
the mandatory increment law; 4
civil engineers, who would receive
a new salary minimum of $4,260,
which was promised them by the
Board of Estimate in 1938, but
never paid. Police, Fire, Educa-
tion and Transportation workers
would also be excluded from the
$60 raise.
Burke Goes Ahead |
However, Borough President
James A. Burke of Queens, went
right ahead and put his employees
on a permanent increase basis, in-
stead of a temporary bonus. By
the simple expedient of elimin-
ating the brackets in the code

lines in his departmental budget,
he made the raises permanent,
For example the salary line of a
$1,200 a year olerk, receiving a
bonus of $120 reads: “$1,200
($1,320)." The departmental budg-
et for 1945-6 list him at $1,320, but
it is expected that the proposal
will meet with considerable oppo-
sition from the real estate and
taxpayer groups at public hear
ings; and from the City admin-
istration.

U. S. Senator Criticizes Civil Service Practices;
Lashes Out at Inefficient Efficiency Rating System

WASHINGTON — Civil
Service in the Federal Gov-
ernment has been accused of
the following by Sen. Ellen-
der of Lousiana:

1. Promoting war service
appointees too fast at the ex-
pense of permanent em-
ployees.

2. There is too much “favorite

playing” with the resultant un-
merited promotions and raises.

3. Civil Service Commission has
not checked the agencies closely
enough with regard to classifica-
tion and has permitted favoritism.

4. Efficiency rating boards are
dominated too much by the heads
of agencies,

5. Personnel directors are fall-
ing down on the job.

Fy’ Employees have little chance

of getting an appeal on efficiency
rating,

7. That Civil Service Commis~
sion has done a poor job of
making reduction in force regula-
tions, with the result that a 5-year
man can bump a 20-year man,
‘This is caused by too much em-
phasis on efficiency ratings.

8. Efficiency ratings are being
adjusted to provide for future re-
ductions rather than keeping them

Sen. Ellender recommended that
the Civil. Service system be put on
8 peace-time basis as soon as pos-

sible. He says the Commission
has relaxed its grip too much and
the merit is permanently

Civil Service View

‘The attitude of the Civil Service
Commission has been, however,
that the war is still on, that its
biggest problem is still recruit-

it can no more convert to a peace-
time basis now than can the man-
ufacturers of munitions.

217 Civilian
Employees Killed
While on Duty

WASHINGTON. — Figures re-
cently compiled by the Federal
Employees’ Compensation Com-
mission show that 217 U. S, em-
ployees met death in the perform-
ance of their duty during the last
three-month period for which sta~
tistics are available.

Benefits totaling nearly $1,700,-
000 were awarded to 342 legal de-
Pendents. A breakdown of the
casualty figures indicates that 136
were civilian War Department
employees; 47 were forking for
the Navy.

“gent out to all City offices ad-

the employees didn't need the con-
firmation—they were cold,

‘The memo read:

+ “The prevent fuel situation is 80

. Following his analysis of the
many communications he received,
Mr. Phillips introduced two bills

~ into the City Council last week.

The first was in the form of a
resolution to the State Legislature,
“asking the formation of a Board
of Physicians to pass on the physi-

the resolution acted upon immedi

‘that the recommendations of this

Mr. Phillips was the forcing of;
veterans to sign papers permitting

Lives and Views of A!l Job Applicants

A new form of Investiga-

into the past history of ap-
plicants for municipal jobs,
On the sheet, which is
checked by members of the
Investigation
Bureau, is this warning: “A

cational background, marital stat-
us, employment record, and resi-

| dences over the past twenty years
are all asked,

War Questions
Many of the questions on the

sheet reflect war conditions. Or-
der and Draft Board number are
asked of male applicants. Also:
“Were you ever classified 4-F or
Limited Service? If yes, why?”
Veterans must furnish a com-
plete record of their military serv-
ice, Asked also is the type of dis-
|eharge and the reason for dis-
charge as stated on the certificate,

Court Record

The Court Record is an im-
portant part of the paper. It asks
for a listing of any arrests, in-
dictments or Court summonses. ex~
cept traffic violations. Candidates
must also tell if they have ever

been sued or garnisheed, or if a
judgment was ever obtained
against them.

Medical history and American-
j ism of the job-applicant also come

A pleasant experience was re-
lated to the staff of New York's
Station WNYC by Lester Kreit-
zer, former radio operator, now
assistant radio man on a Liberty
ship.

On his last trip in, he was
naturally excited at the thought
of getting back to New York,
The ship docked while he was
asleep, and the first thing he
did when he woke was to open
the porthole for a glimpse of

NYC Officials
Held in Contempt;
Didn't Obey Court

NYC Comptroller Joseph D, Me-
Goldrick and Assistant Deputy
Comptroller Morris Paris were held
in contempt of Court by Supreme
Court Justice Cornelius Collins,
given technical fines of $100, and
told to comply with Court orders,

‘The case involved 120 licensed
electricians who had filed labor
Law complaints, charging that
they were being underpaid since
the law grants them the same rate
of pay as that received by men
doing the same work in private
industry,

However, the Comptroller re
fused to accept complaints filed
for the periods between January 1,
1935 and December 31, 1937, say-
ing that the papers hadn't been
“validated” to meet his require-
ments,

Then the electrician’s attorney,
Leonard A. Walstein, Sr, brought
the contempt, action on the
grounds that
Justice Collins
papers as filed. In his contempt
order, the judge said the City had
acted “without malice,” but or-
dered the complaints accepted and
payments of back pay to be made.

However, as usual, the Corpora-
tion Counsel's staff is readying an
appeal to higher courts.

The Answer: How
They Get Checks
Into the Bag

Tn a recent issue, The LEADER
ran a cute little item about how
Sanitation employees are sup-
posed to be able to get checks Into
a closed bag, We have an answer
from the department on this acute
‘oblem. Here it is:
ar Sir:

“In answer to the question of
the week appearing in your issue
of January 16, 1945, ‘How Do the
Checks Get Into the Bag?” it is
very simple. The employees au-
thorized to receive checks come
from the designated locations with
payroll documents in the bag se~
curely locked, in most cases con-
sisting of returned checks for
those employees whom they are
unable to pay, These documents
are signed by all authorized offi-
cers, and then placed in the bag
by the officer on duty who locks
| the bag prior to giving same to
the messenger for delivery to the
Payroll Room at 125 Worth Street.

“At 125 Worth Street, the Pay-
master has a master key to fit all

the contents, checks any returned
checks against the statement en-

current payroll and checks, lock
the bag, and gives same to the
messenger, Te messenger signs in

essarily through theft,

“In the eight years that this
practice was put into effect by me.
we have never lost a document of
any kind, and considering that

million checks and documents,
this is indeed a proper precaution

Welfare Clerk Promotions Held Up; Other Agencies May Suffer

‘The 25 promotions to. Clerk,
Grade 3 in the NYC

January
1, 1945, have been held up by the
Municipal Civil Seryice Commis-

When the promotions were
handed out, Anthony Spano, a
Grade 2 Clerk, was passed over,
despite the fact that his claim for
disabled eer preference had
been approved by the Commission
and he was entitled, by State Law,
to move to the top of the Ist.

The Commission notified the
Welfare Department that the pro-
Motions would not be approved
until Spano's promotion was put
through. Mrs. Margaret De Witt,
Welfare personnel officer, said
that the department hadn't been
able to promote Spano because
the City Budget Bureau had not
issued 1 certificate for his pro-
motion.

Approval Expected

However, it is expected that the
Budget office approve his
promotion shortly, thus validate

with the Municipal Civil Service

examine the service rating records
of other junior accountants in the |

names appear upon the present

Tt has been learned that Mr.
Steinberg is contesting the fact
that seniority credit has been
given to candidates on the pro-

inally been appointed to the lower

grade clerical titles from City-
wide promotion lists.

In 1943, the State Legislature

Verbal Prima-Donnas
In Government

T: OPA has on its payroll a “*word-psychologist”
whose sole job is to take the long, involved, legalis-
tie regulations and re-word them go that they can be
understood by anybody. Seems to us this is money well-
spent, and all agencies might profit from the serviees of a
word-simplifier on the staff. The complaints against “gob-
bledygook” language in government communications have
been widely applauded, but there is still much to be done,
We think that ‘civil-service job-announcements, for exam-
ple, can be further simplified. Sentences ought to be lim-
ited in wordage. A single thought for a sentence is enough.
Pride of authorship doesn’t he in such material. »

A Navy Department laborer has just brought to our
attention a letter from the General Accounting Office in
answer to a question about extra pay for night work, We
couldn't understand it. We read it off to a noted civil
service attorney. He couldn't understand it, either. The
letter is couched in obtruse technical terminology which
we doubt the official who wrote it could understand.

We never have cared much for the big-word complex
which afficts so many in public service. Their stuff could
never get by a newspaper copydesk. We'd like to see
somebody make a beginning at simplifying civil service
et’s banish words like “promulgation,” “certifi-
* “provisional” and substitute more meaningful
terms. In the meantime, it would be most desirable if all
those government workers who write communications for
the general public remember that verbal prima-donnas are
not performing a laudable service.

The Political Picture Surrounding
The Vet Preference Bills in Albany

Backed by the public approval of Governor
Dewey, the Downey-Sherman veteran preference
amendment to the Constitution [formerly the

Hampton-Devany bill—Ed.1, which gives all vet-
erans first claim on all local and civil service jobs
for which they compete by examination, seems
likely at this point to win through the Legislature.
If it does, approval of the people at the polls this

fall is probable. However, the 23 organizations
which have sponsored an alternate bill [see page
7—Ed.} hayen't given up by any means, and they
still have plenty of ammunition under their belts,
Veteran preference was recommended in Goy-
ernor Dewey's 12-point veteran program by the
State Veterans Commission in these words:

that preference be granted to veterans in public

Jesse B. McFarland
JESSE B, McFARLAND has the

look which says “official.” If you
met him on the street, you'd won-
der who the important looking
individual is, But if you stopped
to talk with him, it wouldn't be
long before the words “regular
guy” would click in your brain,

Because Jesse has been around.
He knows how the other half lives
—elther half—from personal ex-
perience. He's been on the rail-
roads as well as in the offices, in
the steel mills as well as in the
quiet chambers of the State So-
cial Welfare Department. He has
been active in helping to formu-
late new liberalized retirement
proposals for State employees, but
for recreation he likes nothing
better than to pound out a hot
lick on the drums. Up in Albany,
one of Jesse’s friends who happens
to be addicted to psychiatric ver-
biage calls him “well adjusted to
hig environment.”

Jesse McParland holds the title
of Senior Claims Examiner and
Acting Secretary of the State
Board and Department of Social
Welfare, That’s a long title, and
McFarland reached the posts after
@ comparatively short period in
State service. He came in in
‘36 ap bead account clerk in
charge of institutions, and rose
rapidly, He processes claims
through the Comptroller, and wel-
fare agencies which get money
from the State must come under
his scrutiny. Twenty-three em-
ployees work in the unit which
he heads. His reputation is one
of solid competence.

Interested in Employees

He's deeply interested in em-
ployee problems, and as soon as
he came into State service, he
concerned himself in the activ-
ities of e Association of State
Civil Service Employees, serving
on the Legislative Committee and
the Retirement Committee of that
organization, Today he is vice-
president. The problems of in-
stitutional employees have been
particularly interesting to him; he
feels that the pay of these em-
Ployees has been too low to per-
mit of the best possible efficiency.
One of his present jobs is to help
on the monumental task of wad-
ing through all the bills which
have a bearing on any phase of
civil service, and to make recom-
mendations for the State Asso-
ciation’s viewpoint on those bills,

Started with Railroads

In 1912, McParland took a job
with the Chicago & Eastern Illi-
nois Railroad as a clerk, He
worked later as a shift engineer
in the tunnels, drilling 12 and 14
feet underground, Then he went
into the great steel mills, working
at such diverse functions as cost
analysis and blast furnace opera-
tion in Virginia, He was with the
ICC for 7 years, covering 32 States
in the period, Then back to the
railroads, in Albany, N, ¥. Here
he made recommendations for
improving efficiency; and they
took one of his recommendations
So seriously that his own Job was
abolished. "I walked the streets
for a year,” McFarland says, and
he Js not downcast at it, for that
time he obtained an acute insight
into the problems of the unem-
ployed, and he feels deeply for
them.

Originally he’s a Michigander,
and started his occupational life

New York City policemen are wondering about their chances of
getting a $450 salary increase—which is the mainstay of the Patrol~
man’s Benevolent Association’s legislative program for the year 1945,

Old timers among the men re-
call that legislation in Albany

they're beginning to fear that a
guardian angel won't fly up to
Albany and convince the legisla-~
tors that the NYC cops and fire~

to their mamas, and therefore
deserve more money.

mines the quality of government, It is not a question of ordinary

It is refreshing to note the prompt reaction of so many citizens
acting through the Citizens’ Committee on Veteran Preference with
reference to the Downey-Sherman bill now before the Legislature.

‘This ts the old Hampton-Devany bill approved last year and

de-

nounced by this Association as striking a death blow at the merit
system. The Citizens’ Committee on Veterans’ Preference has brought
before the Legislature a bill that would give all veterans a substantial
advantage in competing with their fellow citizens, a bill which would
not bar the thousands of youths who graduate from our schools
every year and who will have had no chance to enlist in the armed
defense of their country, a bill which would not discriminate aguinst
the sons, brothers, sisters and wives of veterans themselves as does

the Downey-Sherman Bill.

the veterans of this war. Certainly the

Downey-Sherman bill with

its radical and ambiguous proposals, unfair to veterans and non-vet-

erans, should not be forced before the people for referendum, as it hourly

does not give the people the opportunity to express a fair preference
for veterans. Certainly, the studied judgment of the Constitutional

Convention of 1938, which passed upon a

similar proposal and re-

fected it, should have some consideration at this time. The late
Governor Alfred E. Smith, a true friend of veterans, voted against
the proposal in the Constitutional Convention. Pormer Governor
Herbert H. Lehman, who as Governor for a number of years, stood
with Governor Smith as an outstanding friend of all veterans, sent
special message to the Constitutional Convention opposing the pro-

posal. Wrote Governor Lehman:

“This proposal, if adopted, would be a very serious blow to the
merit system of the State. It would

seriously weaken efficient admin-

istration of the State and all of its municipalities, It would be a
denial of the fundamental principle that every citizen is entitled to

STATE CIVIL SERVICE BRIEFS

Duration Leaves and
Appointments

WHAT IS a duration leave or a
duration appointment? The an-
swer to this question depends on
the type of appointment and on
the type of leave to which you
refer. There is no one kind of
so-called “duration” appointment
or leave. The term “duration” has
been loosely used to cover at least
three different kinds of leaves
and appointments. None of these
was in existence before World
War II started in Europe. All are
directly attributable to war-time
conditions. A discussion of these
leaves and appointments and an
explanation of their purposes
should help to distinguish them,

Military Leaves and Appointments

Let us first consider the mili-
tary leave of absence. This is
granted by law, and not at the
discretion of the appointing offi-
cer, tc a State employee who en-
ters the armed forces of the
United States, engages in mer-
chant marine service as described
in the New York Military Law or
Performs service with the Amer-
ican Red Cross while with the
armed forces of the United States
on foreign service, Such leave of

~| absence ts not really a war dura-

tion leave. It may terminate be-
fore the end of the war or it may
continue for a long period after
the termination of the war.
Strictly speaking, this type of leave
fs a military leave of absence.
The vacancy caused by an em-
ployee going away on a military
leave is filled by making a sub-
stitute appointment. The substi-
tute appointment, like the military
leave, is not given for the dura-
tion. Not only may a substitute
appointment be terminated at any
time in the discretion of the ap-
pointing officer, but even if not so
terminated, it eam continue only
so long as the military leave of the
former Incumbent continues. If
the employee on leave should re-
turn before the end of the war,
the substitute appointment termi-

the war. It is not Hmited to the
“duration.” The substitute ap-

State's Rule VIII-12,

Mandatory Substitute Leaves

In connection with ‘substitulc
appointments, an Interesting pro-
vision of the New York State
Military Law should be noted,
This has the effect of granting a
military leave of absence to a
State employee who takes a sub-

, stitute appointment. even though

such substitute appointment is in
another department. In other
words, without the consent and
even against the expressed wishes
of his own appointing officer, an
employee in one department must
be given a leave of absence if he
accepts @ substitute appointment
in another department.

‘Temporary War Appointments

‘The type of appointment which
comes closest to being BT duration

By THEODORE BECKER

service pursuant to Rule VITI-A,
and is designed to keep positions
requiring special, technical or edu-
cational qualifications available for
filling after the war, It is based
on the fact that many of the best
qualified prospective and present
eligibles for ‘such positions are
either in the armed forces or in
war work. In order to maintain
the high standard of permanent
appointees it is deemed necessary
to delay filling such positions until
the best qualified eligibles are
again obtainable.

Temporary war appointments,
lke substitute appointments may
be terminated at any time in the
discretion of the appointing offi-
cer. Hence, even these appoint-
ments may terminate before the
war does.

Leave Not Mandatory

But what about a State em-
ployee who gets a temporary war
appointment? Is he entitled to a
leave of absence in the same man-
Ner as a substitute appointee? The
answer ix no. A State employee
who accepts a temporary war ap-
pointment under Rule VILI-A
“with the consent of his present
appointing officer shall be granted
a leave of absence from his for-
mer position until the termination
of such ‘
employee 8
sent he is not entitled to a leave
of absence from his
while serving as a temporary war
appointee.

If the appointing officer does
give his consent, then the tempo-
rary vacancy resulting from the
leave of absence thus granted must
be filled, {f at all, on a temporary
basis for the duration of the leave.
In other words, the granting of a
Rule VII-A leave authorizes an
appointing officer to make a Rule
VII-A appointment so that upon

termination of the leave the
former it will have a job
to which he can return.

Rule XVI-1b Leaves

Another State leave loosely
termed a duration leave is the one

period to extend beyond six
months after the war. Before this
leave can be granted or renewed

the | the consent not only of the ap-

pointing officer but also of the Di-
rector of the Budget is required.
It may be given only .in cases
where the employee desires to
enter the Federal government ser-

noted that each
leave granted under Rule XVI-1b
is for a period not to exceed one
year, Therefore, the appointment
of a replacement to fill a tempo-
rary vacancy resulting from such
leave cannot exceed one year, un
less renewed. If a State employee
is appointed as a replacement, he
is not entitled to a leave of ab-

consent of his appointing ofMleer,
As @ replacement, his tenure is
temporary and can be terminated
at any time, im the discretion of
the appointing officer.

A SPECIAL SECTION OF THE CIVIL SERVICE LEADER
AMERICA'S LARGEST WEEKLY FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES

Design for Pub lic Administration i

By NORMAN J. POWELL

Government base x= School of Business and Civil Administration,
College of the City of New York

NOTHING is more depressing
than the sight of agencies which
had out-lived their usefulness, Lu-
ther Gulick once 1amented the ab-
sence of an administrative coron-
er to pronounce these agencies
dead. But there is another gap in
governmental design. As necessary
as the coroner is the obstetrician
and the pediatrician. Real as life
and quite as earnest is public ad~
ministration as a profession and
as a career.

It’s Growing
See how dramatic are the data.

The public service is growing at
@ rate several times the employ-
ment rate in private industry.
And this growth proceeded apace
before the war. It is accelerating
in wartime; and it is as certain
as taxes that the expansion will
continue after the war is over,
Research indicates that the pres-
tige of the public service, though
mounting to no diszying heights,
has increased. Courses of study
in preparation for government
service are all but universal. A

Basis of Retirement
By Mr. Carroll—

Whereas, A measure has been
Introduced which will allow a
member of the New York City Em-
ployees' Retirement System to se-
Ject any five consecutive years of
City service as the five years on
‘which his retirement shall be
based instead of any five consecu-
tive years since he last became a
member; and

Whereas, Many employees of
‘The City of New York who have
"been subjected to lay-offs have
been forced by press of circum-
stances to withdraw their funds

from the Retirement System,
thereby breaking their member-
ship; and

Whereas, Upon their return to

service those employees have re-
ceived reduced salaries; and
Whereas, Those employees by
Practices of economy have been
Unable to again reach the higher
Salaries that they were receiving
prior to their separation from the
Service and as a result have suf-
dered a diminution in their pen-
sion rights under the existing law,
which has inflicted undue and un-
Mecessary hardship ypon them and
their families and in some in-
used. them to remain in
bervice ‘han they would

have remained had they been able
to retire on a pension based on
any five consecutive years; there-
fore, be it

Resolved, That the Council of

wishes to point out in this con-)

nection that—

(1) Under the Selective Service
Regulations, all information re-
garding a registrant's physical or
mental condition is confidential

and the registrant is so informed |

at the time of his physical exam-
ination; and

(2) The Selective Training and
Service Act recognizes that every-
one is not capable of becoming a
solider, and an examination made
in accordance with that Act is
concerned solely with an™ in-
dividual’s fitness for military duty;
it is not concerned with his fitness |
for civilian employment.

The Commission is also of the
opinion that it would not be justi-
flable to require employees or

physicians who are performing
examinations in connection with
the Selective Training and Service
Act to bring to the attention of

instances of communicable
ease which they may find,

dis-
Any

by the health authorities to see
that such conditions are suitably
cared for.

Inquiries concerning this eir-
cular may be directed to the Medi-
cal Division of the Civil Service | na:

To Our Electric

of the issuance of Utilities Order U-9 prohibiting certain uses of
electricity: You will note that the purpose of the order is to
save fuels used in the generation of electricity as a part of
the over-all wartime fuel conservation program of the United

States Government.

The uses of electricity which are prohibited under Paragraph (c)
of the order are:

(1) Outdoor advertising and outdoor promotional lighting.

(2) Outdoor display lighting except where necessary for the
conduct of the business of outdoor establishments,

(3) Outdoor devdiative and outdoor ornamental lighting.

(4) Show window lighting except where necessary for
interior illumination. ;

(3) Marquee lighting in excess of 60 watts for each marquee,

(6) White way street lighting in excess of the amount deter-
mined by local public authority to be necessary for

public safety,

(7) Outdoor sign lighting—with limited specified exceptions*.

You will wish to comply fully with the
order, and we urge that you undertake
immediately whatever arrangements are
necessary to be sure that you do not
violate the order when the mandatory
provisions become effective on February
1, 1945.

Any consumer who violates the order
is subject to penalties prescribed by
Federal Law, which may include the
discontinuance of electric service at the
direction of the War Production Board,
Under the terms of the order we must
report to the War Production Board
the name and location of any consumer
who refuses to discontinue a violation
of the orden, »

We have been requested by the War
Production Board to urge your imme-
diate voluntary compliance in eliminat-

Board has also requested that we urge
upon you maximum conservation in
your other uses of electricity.

2 A. SEA

“* Directional or identification signs required for fire

and police protection, traffic control, transporta-
tion terminals or hospitals; or directional or iden-
tification signs for any similar essential public
services the lighting of which is specifically certified
to be necessary by local police authority. Certifica-
tion shall be made in writing to the appropriate
slerarlo supplier and need not be in any particular
rm;

Also directional or identification signs using not
more than 60 watts per establishment for doctors,
and not more than 60 watts at each public entrance
for hotels and other public lodging establishments,

The above order of the War Production
Board has the full force and effect of
law.

I know the people of this city will
obey not only because it is the law but
because it is their patriotic duty to dono,

ance of veterans who return
physical disability; and even
their own medical examination
shows no obvious defects, they des

aminations. In some cases, em~
ployees have passed a -

Want Records Confidential
To remedy part of the situationy
the Committee cleared a bill intro~
juced at last week's council meet~
ing (see story on page 3 of thif
week's LEADER for provisions of
the bill) to make it a misde,
meanor for any department of
official to force the veteran to
produce confidential sent
records. This will come up for
vote at the next Council meeting.
A Council resolution was.
{ntrodticed last week, to ask
Mayor to form a ittee of
physicians to serve as an Appeals
Board for veterans who lose re-
instatement because of their mili-
tary service-connected disabilities:
However, this was changed in the
Committee and placed in the form
of a proposed law to set up &
three-dpctor committee which will
have the power to review, and
override the verdicts of departe
mental physicians, Present plans
call for one doctor appointed by
the Mayor; two represent
erans’ organizations. The
of other representatives from the
public is also under consideration
Meanwhile, however, Mayor La-
Guardia has appointed his own
three-man committee to “investie
gate and report” on returning
servicemen.
‘This was described as a face~
saving gesture on the Mayor's part
by Councilman Phillips. “Pirst,”
sald Phillips, “they haven't the
qualifications to examine @ case
and tell whether or not the medi-
cal examiner of the department
had erred in his decision on the
treatment of the veteran. Then
again, the Mayor controls the ac?
tions of two of the three members
of his committee and the
won't get impartial treatment.
Members of the mayoral commit~
tee are: Council ee ae
bold Morris, Deputy
E, McGaghen, Bronx Borough
President James J, Lyons.

Classes in Critical .
Optical Work ~

Courses in occupations which,
have been declared critical in the
War Manpower Commission's new
list will begin during the month
of February at the School of Op?
ties, 182 Henry Street, Brooklyn.
The school conducts day and eve-
ning sessions in Optician anc
Spectacle Lens Grinding courses.
