East River Tunnel
Provides 3.000 Jobs
Wide Variety of Workers to Be Utilized
Hard by New York’s famous old Battery, dreamers and practical men
have long envisioned a bridge spanning the two busy boroughs, Manhattan
and Brooklyn. But no, that couldn’t be, said the New York Tunnel Author-
ity, repeated the U. S. War Department, echoed F.D.R.
Instead, they said, build a® =

And now work is about to
begin. The federal govern-
ment has lent $57,000,000 to
New York City to begin the
project.
How will employees be selected
for this colossal structural ven-
ture?
First, the many employees of
the Tunnel Authority itself—of-
fice workers, stenographers, ac-
countants, bookkeepers, engineers,
draftsmen, designers—who would
ordinarily be laid off (now that
the mid-town tunnel is about
finished) will be retained. All of
these people are on Civil Service.
There will, in all probability, be
more jobs in all categories within
the Tunnel Authority; but Com-
missioner William H, Friedman
states cautiously that no great on-
rush of new positions is to be ex-
pected. When new people are
needed, various Civil Service lists
will be closely scanned,
years to build. The supervisory
work is in the hands of the Tunnel
Authority; the construction will
be in the hands of private con-
structors. Commissioner Fried-
man estimates that at least 5,000
men will be put to work on the
new job by private contractors,
The executives of the Authority
would be “delighted to recom-
mend” people on appropriate Civil
Service lists to the contractors,
But the 5,000 or more workers
needed will be selected from many
sources in addition to those on
Civil Service lists. Included among
those needed are laborers, sand-
hogs, plumbers, carpenters, steam-
fitters, engineers, electrical work-
ers—practically every category of
skilled and unskilled workers,

Six-Month Record
N the editorial columns, we haven't talked much
I about The Leader. But with this issue, we've reach-
ed a birthda; nyway, @ semi-birthday: we're six
months old, So we're going to tell you some of the trade
secrets that have made this newspaper brilliantly suc-
cessful in a half-year's time.
First, we've gone out of our way to give you the ne
the most complete coverage ever given by any Civil
Service newspaper. We've managed also to scoop the
daily newspapeis on & variety of occasions. Take this
issue: You'll find at least four exclusive stories: (1) the
sanitation physical exam will probably be held at the
World's Fair; (2) subway spies will be eliminated after
unification; (3) the welfare eligibles-veteran battle;
(4) the present status of the customs exams.
Second, we've given our readers a variety of services:
for example, the helpful articles in the magazine sec-
tion; crystal clear explanations of the new pension system
for Firemen; study material for a variety of exams; train-
ing hints for sanitation men; we've provided a free job
exchange service; we've undertaken to help readers with
thelr personal problems in the Complaint Corner and
through Question, Please? We operate an all-day in-
formation service available without charge to all who
are interested in Civil Service.
March 19, 1940
We've conceived the Kleinfeld-Wagner bill, now before ®
the State Legislature, which exempts State employees
from the residence restrictions of the Lyons Law.
And—our readers tell us this—we publish the liveliest
Civil Service newspaper in the United States.
That's our six-month record.
The Merit Commission
HERE'S lots of wisdom in that first report of the
Fite Merit Extension Commission, The job of dis.
covering ways and means to bring under Civil
Service some 200,000 more workers throughout the State
may be a frightening one, But not if it’s tackled in a
sensible way.
It looks very much as if this Commission is going
about it very sensibly. The members refuse to jump
the gun. Instead, they've told the Legislature that
they'd like to keep mum at least until next February,
‘Then they plan to do their talking. Between now and
then, they want to complete their survey of the State,
hear what other interested parties have to say about
the many complex problems, then quietly mull over
it all,
We all suffer from the tendency to be impatient. But
this time we're willing to wait, if that’s going to mean
that the job will be done right.
Better Late Than Never
ESIDENTS of New York City have something to
R cheer about in the latest news on the Lyons Law
front. First, it appears as if the Kleinfeld-Wagner
bill is on its way to becoming law, Advocated originally
in these columns, this measure exempts State employees
from such loca] residence restrictions as the Lyons Law.
In pushing this bill, though, The Leader has opened
the door to further lifting of the burdensome restrictions,
Tt turns out now that Borough President Lyons meant
that jobs should go to those who have lived in the city
for any three years. The Civil Service Commission,
picking up the lead, is now hot on the legal trails to see
if this intention can’t be brought over into the law books,
We hope to have more to cheer about on this matter
very soon, In the meantime, The Leader is sorry that
all this didn’t come out a long time ago, It would have
saved a lot of needless suffering.
Subway Spies to Go
LSEWHERE in this issue, The Leader reveals—on
EK the basis of absolutely reliable authority—that the
vicious system of spying on subway workers, a sys-
tem carefully nurtured by the IRT and BMT, is to be
eliminated,
Nothing will do more to increase the self-respect of
the men and their efficiency as workers. The two sys-
tems gained only ill-will by the practice.
“The care of all is the
concern of all.”
David Craig
Adie
Commissioner of Social Welfare, he has tr
mendous powers. But his guiding principle
“Let's do this thing together.” Under that principle,
he shares with 17,000 public welfare workers the responsi-
bility for giving food, care and shelter to more than a
million men, women, and children on the relief rolls
throughout the State,
Five foot seven of nervous energy; @ concentrated
dynamo generating vast power with virtually no heat;
the best-read man in social work in the country, yet the
most practical and realistic of them all — these are all
descriptive of Dave Adie.
He doesn’t mind being referred to as “the canny little
Scot.” Supervising State, local, and federal expenditures
of about $200,000,000 a year, he takes pride in burring:
“D'you think a Scotsman would waste that money?”
He knows where every dollar goes. But he knows too
that the prime object of public welfare is to help those
who need public aid.
On the Way Up
By way of Canada the immigrant Dave Adie came
to the United States—to Minneapolis—in 1913, Inside
of a year, he was assistant secretary of the Minneapolis
Civic and Commerce Association, The World War found
him reorganizing employment services for the State of
Minnesota. Newton D. Baker, President Wilson's Secre-
tary of War, then took him to Washington as assistant

Vet Preference and Next War
Sirs; It was with deep interest that
I read the article by Samuel H. Ordway,
Jr, In the January 80th issue of The
Leader and the reaction it has on people
with selfish motives or a lack of true
Americanism as shown by the reply of
A, Boyarsky in the March Sth His
letter ends by saying that “Your paper
would render a great public service if
it would undertake a campaign against
this vicious preferential situation
shown to veterans,”
I think every one realizes that it is
only the disabled veterans who get a
preference of 10 points and are then
placed at the top of the Mast. The reg-
ular veteran is allowed five points and
if he passes he takes his place along
with every one else on the list.
I just begin to realize what foresight
President Abraham Lincoln had when
in his speech at Gettysburg, he said:
". .. the world will little note nor long
remember what they did, ...” The
same will be true of every war, I sup-
pose
In 1917 and 1918, thousands upon
thousands of young boys were forced
from their positions by the draft and
put in the Army or Navy to go to war
and place thelr lives in jeopardy. Many
of these boys who were lucky enough to
come back alive were not lucky enough
to get back their positions. Now for all
of this the Government allows them a
credit of five points if they ake an exam
for a federal position, I ask anyone if
that le really too much to give the
boys in return for what the Government
asked of them?
On the other hand if a veteran was
wounded but was fortunate enough to
live through it, though he may never
be the same, the Government allows him
10 points preference in an open examin-
ation and then, if he passes, he is placed
at the top of the list, Again I ask if
this Is too much to give a veteran who
offers his life so that this Government
might live? If people who think it 1s
could only visit the many veterans hos-
pitals even today after 22 years and see
the suffering that is still going on, they
would hang their heads in shame,
Another point of importance that peo-
ple fail to realize is that in the prep-
aration for war, millions of dollars are
spent for items too numerous to men-
tion, which make war costly and the
after effects of the war and the dead
and wounded are just as much a part
of the cost of war as were the prepara-
tions, It is just ke buying an auto
and complaining because you have to
pay for repairs,
Last but not least is an important
idea which might make those feel happy
who fail to agree with any of these
points, The average veteran as you may
well know !s over 45 years of age, so in
a very few years our names will auto-
matically be erased from eligible lists,
In closing I might say that I know
from personal experience what a hell
war is, as I now know what the after
effects are and I know in my heart if
thi who still feel that the kidding of
a few pointe of preference is, as one
man said, a VICIOUS thing, then I
must say that I feel positive this same
man would not go through what we suf-
fered even though they promised him
& position rather than a 10-page pret-
erence,

Income Tax Deductions
State income tax paid during |
1938 on income other than salary |
fs @ public school teacher can be |
deducted by teachers from their
1939 federal income tax.
‘This was just announced by the
Joint Committee of Teachers Or-
ganizations, the result of confer- |
ences with Internal Revenue
| Bureau officials, |
Next year the entire State tax |
will be deductible. If a teacher |
paid an income tax to the State
last year on an income that in-
cluded bank interest, bond inter-
jest, dividends, book royalties, etc.,
in addition to salary, that portion
paid for everything but the salary
is deductible.
It's figured out this way: the de-
ductible portion of the State in-
come tax is that percentage of
the tax which the teacher's in-}
come, other than salary, bore to
| the teacher's total income.

Wednesday, March 27, is now ten-

Both houses approved, then
dumped into Governor Lehman's

keep veterans and volunteer fire-

porarily now they would be frozen
into jobs by this measure.
Among the bills which passed
the Senate were the Ryan bill, to)
take relief out of politics, and the
Page constitutionai amendment.
This latter, to extend preference
to non-disabled veterans, has had
a long and sorry history. It was
beaten by popular referendum in
1929 and at the last Constitution-
al Convention.
Across the corridor, the Assem-

ployee except for cause or when the
force is being reduced. When the force
is reduced, lay-offs come in reverse order
of seniority—that is, the last man on is
the first man off. Men laid off for re-
duction of force go on a preferred list,
and this list is the first eligible list to be
used for all appropriate positions in the
Civil Service. Such preferred lists are
city-wide, opening the entire service of
160,000 jobs to these men—which means
that where the job is a normal one, re-
employment will probably come swiftly.
For example: Suppose @ man holds the
title of “guard.” If he is dismissed for
reduction of force, he goes onto the
preferred list, and may obtain a job as
guard in any other city department, just
&S soon as @ vacancy occurs, All this
applies, however, only to those who will
come into the Service in the future, It
does not apply to the men now at work,
who are brought into the Civil Service
through the Wicks Act. The present em-
ployees are eligible for preferred status
only on the old line properties (BMT-
IRT), The turnover on these lines is
large, however, and absorption should be
swift. Furthermore, the underground
transit system is constantly expanding
and in need of new personnel. Thus the
6th Avenue System will be opened shortly,
with a requirement of at least 600 new
men,
Salaries
How will salaries compare with those on

Salaries are slightly higher in some

lower in others. It seems that the salary

What other advantages may the sub-

After unification, the subway worker
will probably be somewhat better off, His

decent pension set-up. His vacation
rights will probably be increased. The
large sums diverted to bonuses and com-
missions (for example: $100,000 a year
went to Dahl! of the BMT) will no longer
go to single individuals, The carrying
charges on capital will be reduced. This
means that more money will be available

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER
How to Get
A Civil Service Job
by HOWARD P. JONES ;
State Civil Service Commissioner
What is it like to work for the government? What are the
rewards to those who wish to make a career of public service?
A noted authority explains what's what.
ETTING a job is one thing. Hold-
G ing it is another, Advancement
is a third,
If you're the kind of person the gov-
ernment wants, you're not going to be a
“holder-on.” You're going to want to do
things. You're the kind that will want
two satisfactions in your job: first, a
sense of doing something worth while;
second, a chance for advancement.
‘These days the bright young people, the
boys and girls with their heads in the
clouds and their feet planted firmly on
the ground, are turning more and more
to the government as a place where
shining careers can be made and reputa-
tions won. The older ones too, those with
a solid reputation built up in private en-
terprises, are more ‘and more being
tempted into government work, where
they can apply their knowledge and abil-
ity to new and challenging problems at
little or no financial loss to themselves.
In other words, local and state and
federal governments are now building a
career service, This is in complete con-
trast with the old days when appoint-
ments were usually a matter of “pull,”
pay was low, promotion was and
xcessive red tape routinized even im-
portant work. Now examinations test
ability for the job, and experience is
highly weighted arting salaries in
most positions are as good as, if not
better than private work would yield
and the chances for promotion both in
rank and in pay are steady and numer-
ous.
How About Promotions?
Now here's another point at which you
may pick up your ears. On what basis are
promotions given? How about politics
Will a good man be sidetracked for some
political favorite?
The answer is that the law requires
examinations to be held for promotional
opportunities, so your chance to get
ahead is based on the same proce:
your original entrance into the service,
except that the only people who com-
pete are your fellows in the same grade
in the service. Furthermore, the law in
New York State recognizes the desirabil-
ity of encouraging employees already in
the service, so that an open competitive
examination may only be given when
there is no field for promotion, The man
in the service gets the break, where pos-
sible.
But mere seniority in the government
service isn't enough now to go to the
You've got to have “something on
MI," York State Civil
Servic aw also si “Vacancies in
positions in the competitive cl shall be
filled, so far as practicable, by promotion
from among persons holding positions
in a lower grade in the department, of-
fice or institution in which the vacancy
exists.” This means that a person who
starts on the bottom rung of the ladder
of government service is given preference
over outsiders in climbing the next rung
Experience within government service is
becoming more important than experi-
ence outside the government service,
Is that a desirable tendency? Civil
rvice administrators argue about it
frequently, but no final decision can be
made until more experience is gathered.
h Experience
This is in contrast with the situation
in England, which has been pointed to for
generations as the place where govern-
ment work has had the characteristics
of a genuine career. Some people would
have us copy their system. In England
the class system of social life, so much
more apparent than in America, is trans-
lated into government service, To obtain
positions from which promotion to the
top is possible, young men and young
women have to be university graduates.
If you're not a university graduate, you
automatically start at a lower level, and
it is almost impossible for you to rise into
that top group of positions which are
occupied by the university people.
In England, however, experience is un-
important in getting a government job.
They prefer to train their people after
they hire them. Hence, examinations
are based entirely upon education, and
resemble academic college mid-years. In
order to get anywhere in the British civil
service, therefore, you've got to start
right after you finish school: either high
school or college, Waiting till you pile
up some experience won't do you a bit
of good,
Do You Require Experience?
Ought we to have a system like that
here? The strong democratic tradition of
this country has thus far prevented it.
We believe in the self-made man. There
are plenty of instances where a man or
woman who has started as a government
clerk, and has had perhaps only an
elementary school education, has become
head of the department. We have valued
experience so much that our recent college
graduates have complained there is too
little chance for them to get a job with
the government, because admission to
most government jobs calls for so much
previous experience at specific types of
work,
That complaint is no longer as valid as
The number of positions for
jus experience is unnecessary
increases every day. Federal, state and
local governments are realizing that
there is something to the idea of catch-
ing ‘em young and training ‘em right.
Young men and women right out of col-
lege can now take examinations which
test only brains and general knowlesge,
then get jobs in government departments
which are equivalent to apprenticeships.
To illustrate the vastness and variety
of government jobs, it need only be
pointed out that one in every nine wage-
earners (not including WPA) in the
United States works for one of the levels
of government—federal, state or local.
1,202,000 work for the federal government
alone. New York City employs 118,456.
Outside New York City, in the state and
its subdivisions, there are 272,920 more.
A new book, Opportunities in Govern-
ment Employment, by L. J. O'Rourke of
the United States Civil Service Commis-
sion, discusses the different kinds of jobs
available, and they range from manual
labor to the most complex technical and
executive jobs imaginable. Salaries cover
just as wide a range. Dr, O'Rourke shows
that in the United States Civil Service
Commission Classification Pay Scale sal-
aries go from $600 to in excess of $9,000,
with the bulk of salaries under $4,000, of
course, New York City and New York
State salary scales are comparable to the
federal,
Is It Good to Work for
The Government?
When all is said and done, is it a good
thing to work for the government? Or
is a man or woman better off in private
work?
What has been said about the growing
career service answers that question in
part, for it is.clear that if a career is
what you're after, every day the chances
are better for finding it in government
work, no matter what your specialty,
With the expansion
work so that it takes in most important
lines of human endeavor, with the in-
creasing importance of government work,
the government desperately needs good
people, people with ideas, in almost any
line. Do you know that some of the
most significant scientifie discoveries,
some of the most important cultural
of government «
achievements (government is even pro-
ducing pioneering movies) are chalked
up nowadays to people who work for the
government? Of course, in any large or-
ganization there are many routine jobs!
But this is as true of private as it is of
public business,
Suppose you're not the ambitious type?
Suppose you'd be satisfied with a good
job, fairly interesting, fairly well paying,
secure, respectable? The government can
give you that too. I have already pointed
out that government pay is better than
private pay except in the top positions.
Most of the executives in government de-
partments today hold their jobs at a
sacrifice, for they could often double or
triple their salaries by stepping into pri-
vate industry. These people stay in gov-
ernment work because they like the
combination of challenging problems and
the feeling they are rendering real pub-
lic service.
In any position, high or low, that op-
portunity to serve is an important aspect.
of government work. Even in the lowliest
position, a government employee may be
sure that he is doing something for
everybody, rather than for himself or
for one private employer, He can have
real pride in his responsibility.
The security of government work is
another factor which makes it very at-
tractive. As long as this country lasts,
the government is sure to “stay in busi-
ness.” And individual employees are sure
to stay, if they want to, unless they have
committed a serious breach of discipline.
The law usually sets up safeguards to
prevent your being fired just because
someone dislikes the color of your hair
or your political belie: A forma] hear-

EMOCRATIC leaders are trying to
D e to it that the number of Fed-
eral employees doesn’t reach 1,-
000,000 before the November election.
They have been tipped off that GOP big-
wigs are planning to make the most of
it during the forthcoming presidential
campaign if the 1,000,000th Federal em-
ployee is hired by Uncle Sam soon.
Prospects are only fair for the 1-
000,000th Federal employee to be hired
in time for the Republicans to get their
issue. The all-time high of Federal em-
ployees was recorded in December when
there were 987,538 on the payroll, This
was an increase of something like 50,-
000 over November which was caused
by the hiring of extra Post Office clerks
needed for the Xmas rush.
In January the number dipped to 936,-
689, but the trend likely will be upward
again when the February figures are an-
nounced by the Civil Service Commission,
Substantial increases in personnel are
expected to be registered by the War and
Navy departments, both of which are en-
gaged in extending our national defenses,
Both departments have added 30,000 em-
ployees each to their staffs within the
past 18 months.
Census, of course, is taking on new em-
ployees daily to take the deciennial cen-
sus, The 140,000 enumerators, however,
won't be counted as Federal employees as
they will work only on an average of two
weeks.
Panama Canal has been adding em-
ployees, nearly 1,000 during December
and January, in connection with the
strengthening of our defenses at the
canal, The Mississippi flood control work
requires a horde of extra workers during
March and April,
It is a distinct possibility that the
1,000,000th person will be placed on the
Federal payroll before summer, but ad~
ministration leaders are hoping it won't
be so,
There were about 565,000 Federal em-
ployees when the Republicans lost con-
trol at Washington in 1933.

Question, Please?
by H. ELIOT KAPLAN
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR
Promotion Lists
A. N.—When an employee on a depart~
mental promotion list is transferred to
another department before promotion, or
‘accepts appointment to another depart-
ment from a competitive list, he loses his
right to promotion from the old list. Only
in cases where an employee is involuntari~
ly transferred is his name put on the pro
motion list for the new department. In
any event, he remains on the city-wide
promotion list,
Hospital Helpers
O, D.—The reclassification of Hospital
Helpers from the non-competitive to the
labor class has not yet been okeyed by
the State Civil Service Commission,
though approval is expected soon after
April 1.
uves, Vacations
——An employee on a year's leave
it pay isn’t entitled to a vacation
»wance, even though he may have
d it before he took the leave. In
sases, however, the department may
ow vacations after an employee returns
rom leave,
PD. Clerks
, O—The plan to replace policemen
filling clerical Jobs with appoin-
from the Clerical and Typewriter-
»pyist lists hasn't been abandoned, but
Civil Service Commission and the
xe Department are giving the matter
iuscher study. The dozen or so ap-
pointed from the Typewriter-Copyist,
Grade 2, list, are still retained, Undoubt-
edly more appointments will be made in
the future,
Holidays
C, J, K.—City employees generally are
given leaves with pay on important legal
holidays. In emergencies they may be
required to work, however. Each depart-
ment has the right to determine which
employees will remain on duty, and
whether they'll be given extra pay for
such work, Asa rule, the only employees
who are given extra compensation are
per annum employees.
Males Only
H.. M.—Frequently departments re-
quest the Civil Service commissions to
certify only males for appointment. Gen-
erally the commissions will not comply
with such requests unless the departments
give valid reasons for wanting only men
for a particular job, I believe the com-
mission will be glad to explain why it
certified only males for Bookkeeper in the
cases you mention,
Gambling
B, M—Frankly, I doubt whether there
is much chance of your son’s reinstate-
ment as his removal was for gambling in
the office. Because of his good record
over a period of 10 years, however, it
might be that the department will re-
consider his case upon application for
a further hearing. Such a decision is
entirely up to the department and its
action is final. The U. S. Civil Service
Commission has no jurisdiction in cases
of dismissal unless removal is made for
political, religious or racial reasons.

13 of the Civil Service Law). Exemptions
in the State service must be made with
the approval of the Governor. The State
Commission can exempt positions in a
muiinicipal service only after notice to the
local commission and after a unanimous
vote by the State Commission.

For Local Governments.
“@ T HE LEGISLATURE will have to wait
until February 1, 1941, before the
Fite Merit Extension Commission
will recommend ways and means to
bring 200,000 more employees under Civil
Service, ‘The Commission stated this in
its first report, handed in Friday to the
clerks of the Senate and Assembly,
‘The Commission had some startling
things to report nevertheless. 391,217
persons are estimated as being in local
public employment, or 3.1 per cent of
the entire population, This is the first
Wis,
* at
time a survey of this kind has been at-
tempted in the State, The figures are
only tentative, but shouldn't be much out
of the way when the full report is made
in June,
Of the total figure, 129,349, or 33.05 per
cent, will probably fall in the unclassified
group, and 261,868, or 66,94 per cent, in
the classified group, Of those in the
classified group, 14,285, or 5.45 per cent,
will ‘fall in the exempt class; 88,294, or
83.71 per cent, in the competitive cla:
26,378, or 10.07 per cent, in the nol
competitive class, and 132,911, or 50,75
per cent, in the labor class,
Following its expressed purpose ‘to
outline the problems before the Com-
mission rather than to answer them,”
the Commission comes to a conclusion
on only one of the many troublesome
phases of its work,
“although the Commission is open
minded,” it protested, “and has formu-
lated no conclusion with respect to the
other problems before it, it is convinced
that it would be impracticable to require
present offices and employees to take ex~
aminations in order to continue in their
present positions.”
‘The 200,000 men and women now filling
the jobs under question were appointed
in good faith, the report continues, They
didn’t comply with Civil Service rules
because no method of administering the
Civil Service Law has been set for the
governmental units in which they work,
The Commission pointed to the Wicks
Law. ‘This provides that employees of
New York City’s privately-owned transit
lines automatically come under Civil
Service when unification puts them under
the City's jurisdiction, Similar legisla-
tion can be drafted for these 200,000, rea«
sons the Commissions.
Thousands of exams would have to be
prepared and graded otherwise. The cost
would be prohibitive, warns the Commis-
sion, even if an agency to do the job
were created. Not only that, but the
time consumed would delay the contem~
plated extension,
Other questions were posed by the re-
port: 1) in which Civil Service class shall
the positions go? 2) shall administration
be centralized, local, or under a combina+
tion of the two? 3) residence require-
ments? 4) shall transfers be permitted?
5) should membership in the Retirement
System be compulsory or optional?
Public hearings will be held in various
parts of the State soon. Officials, or-
ganizations, and all other interested
parties are to be asked their opinions,
‘The Commission will brood over all this,
then submit its report to the Legislature
by February 1 of next year.
Two years ago the Court of Appeals
said: under the State Constitution, all
appointments and promotions in public
service must be governed by merit. The
1939 session of the Legislature then ap-
pointed the Commission, with Governor
Lehman assenting. No Civil Service,
members were told, exist today in 44
counties, 900 towns, 500 villages, 8,000
school districts, and several thousand im-
provement district. It's the Commis-
sion’s job to recommend how to bring the
merit system to these places,

man of the Assembly Civil Service Com-
mittee, heads the Commission. Senator

Failing a departmental medical examination no longer

as the Police and Fire, give a strict medical exam in addition to
that given by the Civil Service Commission. Heretofore, where
a person has been rejected by a department for failure to pass
the medical, the procedure has been to drop him from the list,
even though he has previously passed the medical exam of the
