As the Leaner revealed last week
after conferences with budget au-

tion will ask for an increase in the
number of Class B men from 6,050 to
6,450. ‘This means that 400 jobs will
be available. To men on the new
Sanitation Class A list, this repre-
sents a golden opportunity, for as 400
men pass from the lower to the high-
er grade, it will mean 400 additional
openings available to men on the new
list who are now waiting for jobs.

The year 1941 will witness many
promotions in the department, In
addition to the upward movement
from Class A to Class B, there will
be another promotion examination to

A completely new set of rules
for the Municipal Civil Service
Commission is now on Mayor La
Guardia’s desk, awaiting ap-
proval. These rules are a codi-
fication of the rules which have
been in effect for many years,
but which have never before
been gathered together.

Since the recent public hearing
held on these proposed rules, a num-
ber of technical changes have been
made, and certain errors of omission
in the original group have been
corrected.

decision ruled that the Commissfon
must set an actual pass mark in ad-
vance for promotion exams. The
Commission cannot limit a promotion
list to 100, or 600 or 1,000 candi-
dates, but must set the pass mark
in advance. All the candidates who
score the minimum mark, or above,
then go on the eligible list.

Major Fractions

The second new regulation adopted
by the Commission formalizes a pol-
icy which has sometimes been used
in the past to resolve major frac-
tions in favor of candidates, Thus,
on the recent Fire Lieutenant test,
the pass mark was set at 80.00 in ad-
vance of the actual exam. However,
when the test was completed, the
Commission, by special action, ruled
that all men who attained a score of
79.50 would be placed on the eli-
gible list.

of failure to meet the require

ifying the Fire

adopted by the Municipal Civil Ser- |

vice Commission last week, Ap
proval of the Mayor and the State

sary before the amendment become
final.

The resolution {s as follows:

“Resolved, that the classification of
the Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion of New York be and the same
is hereby amended by generally
amending the competitive class, Part
19, the Fire Telegraph Dispatching |

per annum,

Supervising Fire Telegraph
Dispatcher—$3,120 to but not in-
cluding $3,500 per annum,

Chief Fire Telegraph Dis-
patcher—$3,600 per annum and
over.”

The effect of the resolution is to
put a cellar on the salaries of the
different positions, so that appoint-
ments cannot be made below a cei

tain minimum, Previously, the city |

could appoint eligibles to these jobs
at any minimum salary they would

accept,

of Porter, Station Agent, Platform

flatly refused to request certification
of this list. John C. Laffan, person-

same time, to fill all future va-
cancies in the 47 present labor

cials of the State Civil Service
Commission are dipping deep
into the Hospital Attendant list
in a frantic hunt to find eligibles
willing to accept jobs. At the end
of last week, this was the situa-
tion in zone 4, which takes in the
five boroughs, Long Island, West-
chester and Rockland counties
and with a total of 10,242 eligi-
bles, or two-thirds of the entire
list

15 appointments have been made
at Creedmoor Hospital, Queens
at Brooklyn State

the last appointed.
zibles have been certified,

Questionnaires, asking the eligibles
where they will work and how soon
a ble, have gone to
n to No, 1,850.

Thus, just three weeks after the

placed in the competitive eass, one

plaint they had last week: that the
provincial New York City eligibles
in the main want to work only in one
of the three institutions in the city.
Yet only at Brooklyn State Hos-
pital, of the three, can any large
number of appointments be expected.
For the others hattan State Hos-
pital, on Ward's Island, preparing to

‘Governor on Civil Service
‘Lehman Urges Extension of Merit System

jis yet to take action on any o

Although the State Legislature
ft
the dozens of bills already in the
hopper, some idea of what the|
administration will push for can |
be found in Governor Lehman's

message to the legislators on
legislation. Here's what he had|
to say about Civil Service: |

1. “The policy of the State has
been and will continue to be di-
rected toward extending and
strengthening our Civil Service. In
recent years many measures have
been adopted to effectuate this pol-
The enactmcut of our career
salary standardization and in-
crement laws has done much to
maintain and enhance the morale of
our civil servan

This is direct approval of the Feld-
Hamilton increment law, perennially
one of the main Civil Service issues
in the Legislature. It would also
indicate that the proposed 1941-42
budget, soon to be announced, will
give increased appropriations to the

starved Civil Service Department,
thus allowing for much quicker ac-

tion on tests, ete.
Extension
2, “In addition,” said the Gov-

ernor, “the progressive extension of
the merit system has been receiving
my particular attention. I am
pleased to report that through the
efforts of the special committee
which I appointed last year to re-
duce positions in the non-competitive
class, we have increased the number

of competitive class positions in the |

entire classified service by 12,000 in
number, or 25 per cent.

Reference is made to the commit-
tee which switched the Hospital At-
tendant job. Next on its agenda are
the 2,000 Nurse positions in the
State’s institutions, but the switch
of these jobs has been postponed.

3. “The joint legislative commit-
tee created by you «the Legislature)
in 1939 to study the orderly exten-
sion of Civil Service to 200,000 pub-
lic employees in towns, counties, vil-
lages, and school districts not now
covered by Civil Service is sched-
uled to report its findings to you at

this session. I hope you will give the
recommendations of your committee
your attention and consideration.”

This is the Fite Commission, sched-
uled to recommend ways and means
to extend Civil Service by February
|1. A meeting of the Commission was
held last Tuesday night in Albany,
and the minds of the members were
made up at that time. Counsel John
|". DeGraff is now working on the
| proposed legislation.

Other Bills

Civil Service again took a lion's
jshare of the bills introduced in both
| houses during the past weelg Among
other things, proposed legislation
|would give non-disabled veterans
reference on lists, give preferred
|status to non-competitive employees
whose jobs are abolished, grant Ci
Service employees 15 days sick leave.

Weekly analyses and progress ‘of
Civil Service legislation will appear
|in Tur Leaver from its Albany bu-
|reau. Turn this week to p. 10 for
an important debate between Lieut.
Governor Charles Poletti and As-
semblyman Abbot Low Moffat. Sub-

been much confusion on the
status of a number of clerical
positions in the Division of

ground: |

ready written up, rarin’ to go, but
various interested parties have per-
suaded the courts to interfere,

The Juniors contend that the As-
s ant positions belong to those who
emerge highest on the promotion
list, as the Assistants have been
working only temporarily, The As-
stants, on the other hand, feel that
permanent appointments should have
been made in the first place; per-
manent appointments should now be
made for all available positions,
Should this latter contention be up-
held, then those on top of the orig-
inal Assistant list feel that they
should be given the jobs, as they re-
fused appointment only because they
thought it was temporary.

Complications

Sounds complicated? Well, last
week Justice Schirick, sitting in Al-
bany Supreme Court, handed down
a decision, But it’s still so compli-
cated that all parties are preparing
interpretations of what the decision
means. These interpretations will be
submitted to Justice Schirick on
Friday.

The attorneys are: Albert B, Bres-
low, for the Assistants now working;
Assistant Attorney General Bernard
L, Alderman, for the Civil Service
Commission; John T. DeGraff and
Morris Zuckman, for ASCSE and
SCMWA Juniors, respectively.

These are the particularly confus-
ing sentences in the decision: “Such
permanent appointments as became
available in the first six months after

A new demand for card punchers
arose when the Alien Registration
Unit announced that it would hire
several hundred, A card for each
one of the several million aliens will
be filed, All the pertinent informa-
tion about the alien, such as his
kbirth, occupation, entrance into this
country, etc, will be punched on
the card.

The Census Bureau, despite the
fact it is laying off hundreds of
coders and editors in Washington,
needs several hundred additional
machine operators, including punch-
ers and calculating machine opera-

tors, The Civil Service Commission
itself is hiring a considerable num-
ber of punchers to set up a file on
its roster of scientists. General Ac-
counting Office has asked for a score
of punchers, and the War Depart-
ment, and the Social Security Board
each will hire a considerable num-
ber of punchers,

If a demand is made on the Com-
mission from all these agencies for
punchers at one time, it is exceed-
ingly doubtful if the demand can be
met. However, if Census punchers
finish their work in time they will
be transferred to other agencies.

The eligibles on the Customs

them if they don't know, And,
they claim, they can’t get a
straight answer from the gov-

|. Many of those on the Customs list
have received tentative offers of the
job, together with long question-
naires to fill out, Minimum height
requirement is% feet 8 inches. Yet of-
fers have been sent to eligibles 5 feet
4 inches, and even 5 feet 6 inches
tall. Physical examination is by the
eligible’s own physician and at his
own expense, Naturally, those under
5 feet 5 don't want to pay for a useless
examination if 5 feet 8 is still the
absolute minimum requirement.

Service Commission at 641 Washing-
ton Street, and received this repl

“Since the papers sent to such ell-
gibles were forwarded from Wash-
ington you should address your in-
quiry fo the central offices of the
U.S. Civil Service Commission. It is
the opinion of this office that if the
U.S. Civil Service Commission stated
the minimum height is 5 feet 8 inches,
that statement should be accepted by
those receiving such information as
being the minimum.”

One eligible below the height mini-
mum who had received a job offer
phoned the Navy authorities in Man-
hattan about the height problem.
They referred him to the Navy Yard,
He phoned the Yard and spoke to
several officials, all of whom pro-
fessed complete ignorance,

Comment by the officers of the
eligibles on the situation was terse.
‘They told a Leaver reporter: ‘(1)
There seems to be incompetence
when the Commission sends out
offers to men under a standard height
requirement, expects them to take a
physical examination at their own
expense and doesn’t tell them wheth-
er the height requirement is waived
for them; (2) there seems to be lack
of interest, initiative and resource-
fulness when the New York office of
the Commission casually washes its
hands of the matter; (3) mental bot-
tlenecks like this which interfere
with prompt furtherance of national
defense measures are just as intoler-
able and reprehensible in their par-
ticular sphere as those that hold up
production of planes, tanks, etc."

On issue 2, it is pertinent to point
out that the New York District
bratich of the Commission is not nec-
essarily a repository of information
concerning exams given on a nation-
wide scale, and doesn’t assume re-
sponsibility for such information,

Questionnaires

The questionnaires sent to eligibles
asked whether they would be willing
to accept appointment at an entrance
salary of $1,680 per year; whether
they would be free to work any-
where in the United States; whether
they have ever been affiliated or in-
terested in any Communist, Nazi or
Fascist organization. In addition, eli-
gibles receiving the questionnaire are
required to list all previous employ-
ment and indicate outstanding in-
debtedness.

For Cop Eligibles!

HE Patrolman eligibles make a powerful argument
in their bid, for appointments.
Stile

king to facts and statistics rather than
emotions, they point out that, according to the present
draft set-up, no more than five percent of any single
group will be inducted into the
less than that percentage have bi

ied, and would be deferred in any event. Of the
aining 240 men, only 12 would be drafted in the
light of statistics issued by the Selective Service Board.
ssume even that 10 percent would be drafted, that
still means only 24 men would be

aken

With this argument the eligibles blow up the conten-
tion that no appointments should be made, because the
men are likely to be taken into the army. Surely, while
this trained, capable list of men 1s available, there is
no reason to recruit a supplementary police foree from
the ranks of WPA—and there is no reason why the city
1ould be under-policed,

Mead, calls for the creation of a body to be known
the Cate States Civil Service Board of Appeals, It
would consist of a representative of the U, S, Civil
rvice Commission, a representative of the employees
and a third person selected by these two,

The Court of Appeals is, in effect, a court of last
resort. It is only to be utilized when all other means
of reconciling differences have failed

The bill makes no
It says an employee may use the Board's
if an action of a department or independent
office effectuates removal of the employee from the ser-
vice, irrespective of the reasons thereof, his reduction
in rank or salary, or his suspension from duty...”

This is real protection. It is easy to see why Postal
workers have fought for this bill so many y It has
the support of Senator Mead and of Representative
Ramspeck, Behind the bill are the New York letter

Merit Men

WINNER of the first award of
the Vincent J, Kane medal for
valor Is a sturdy, modest, 28-
year-old fireman who has only
been on the job three years—
Charles A. Merz... . Merz was
given this high honor because of
his courage and resourcefulness
in rescuing fireman James Mc~
Glynn in a smoky cellar fire at
6708-10 Bay Parkway, Brooklyn,
on April 17, 1939... . For this
feat, Merz also received the
James Gordon Bennett Medal for
valor last year.

In making the rescue Merz de-
scended a ladder through a
chute leading from the sidewalk
to the cellar of the building,
where two of his companions
were lying unconscious from
smoke, Merz dragged McGlynn
to the ladder where Lieutenant
Joe A, Siefring and Fireman
William J. Burns hoisted him up.
‘The other fireman trapped in the
building was killed.

Merz joined the force largely
because his older brother was a
Fireman. . He believed the
Fire Department offered him the
best possible career, one with
many opportunities for advance-
ment. . . . Highlight of the cer:
monies in which Merz received
the award was the fact that
his mother and father, two
brothers and three sisters were
present to see him honored... .
Merz dism: his personal life,
hobbies, outside interests, etc., by
saying they are like those of any
other young man, that he likes a
little “night life” occasionally,
and ts plenty fond of his job.

Miss Adele Glogau, director of Con-
sultant Social Services, spoke at the
Menorah Home for the Aged and
Infirm in Brooklyn last Thursday.
Miss Hill described the Old Age As-
sistance program and Miss Glogau
interpreted the home relief program
as well as the Department's special
services.

Miss Ray Schmeltzer, type-copyist
and Irving Kaminsky, clerk Grade 2,
both of the Budget Control section

July 3, Not July 1

A request by the Department of
Welfare that the date of appoint-
ment of nine of {ts clerical employees
be changed on the records from July

Welfare Department News

3, 1939, to July 1, 1939, was turned
down this week by the Municipal
| Civil Service Commission, The re-
quest was made by Clifford T. Mc-
Avoy, second deputy commissioner of
the department.

In denying the request the Com-
mission points out that July 1, 1939,
was a Saturday and that the Depart-
ment operated on a skeleton staff,
so that none of the nine involved
actually could have worked. It was
added that the Budget Director's Of-
fice had allowed the employees to
receive the increment based on the
July 1 date, so that there was no
need of amending the records,

The employees involved are: tel
ephone operators, Regina McGill,
Pauline L. Biller, Gertrude M.
Frank, Katherine McGrath, Evelyn
M, Raber, and Frances A, Schultz;
clerks, Morris Friedman, Mitchell
Arkin and Edith Lesser

Management Asst. N. G.
As Jr. Adm. As:

The Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission last week denied for lack of
power a request of the Department
of Welfare that the list for Manage-
ment Assistant, Grade 4, be certified

appropriate for Junior Admin-
rative Assistant, so that Beatrice
Friedman, who is number 5 on the
list, could be reached for appoint-
ment,

The position,

which pays $3,000,
has recently been created in the
Welfare Department. In denying the
request, officials of the Commission
pointed out that since there were
others on the list ahead of Miss
Friedman, she could not be certified
and appointed to the appropriate
position,

|More Insanity

Bruce Bliven, editor of The New
| Republic, is currently writing a se-
ries of articles on “The Men Who

views with the country's leading re-
search experts in the physical sci-

ences. In the January 13 issue,
in a piece entitled “How Science

Corrects Our Mistakes,”
interesting paragrap

“Is the strain of modern life caus-
ing an increase in insanity? The sci-
entists are not sure, The number of
| persons incarcerated in mental hos-
|pitals has gone up markedly, but
|there may be special reasons for
this. We recognize the insanities
more readily than before, and people
are now more willing to accept hos-
pitalization for themselves or mem-
bers of their family, If there is
|an increase in the actual prevalence
of insanity, it is party offset by the
remarkable new cures that are be-
ing made through insulin shock and
other treatments. Moreover, many
persons who would have been con-
sidered insane a few decades ago are
now recognized as the victims of
glandular deficiency of one sort or
another and can be partly or en-

tirely cured by administering addi- |

tional supplies of the inadequate in-

shores of a vast sea of knowledge
here. Psychiatry is generations

| younger than most of the other sci- |

Jences; it is developing with great
trapidity, and its next 10 or 20 years
are likely to be of tremendous im-
part ce to man’s knowledge of him-
self.”

Bertha Onley, charge nurse at
Hudson River State Hospital, is the
first employee of the Mental Hygiene
Department reported as answering
the call of the U. S. Army under the
defense program. She's already
down at Fort Bragg, Fayetteville,

soon by Isabelle Gierisch, also at
Hudson River State, who has al-
ready passed the physical exam and
now awalts the call.

pointed out that the number of day

pupils increased from 2,043 in March, |
440, to 2,453 in October, 1940,

Joint Committee chairman |
characterized as “shaxp practice” the |
Board's policy to refuse appointment
: teachers

js tenchers-in-charge to
ho have been placed in charge of
s and day high schools in

trier to save the salary difference:
folieving it to be a deliberate eva-
sion of the law, Mr. Whalen said that
the Board, “while refusing assign-|
ment as teachers-in-charge to those
persons, continues to require the
ork for which the salary schedule |
vas established, to be done by teach-
evs withgut assignment,” Mr. Whalen
termed the refusal of advanced sal-
schedules to _newly-appointed |
first assistants, “a flat contravention
of the legal salary schedule, without
any warrant whatever.”
Joint Committee of Teacher
sanizations requested the Board |

to pay the maximum wage scale of
$1,800 to junior clerks as provided by
a vote of the Board in 1937, At
present the junior clerks receive a
top scale of $1,500, Mr, Whalen
pointed out that associations of
supervisors, consisting of principals
and superintendents who see the work
of the junior clerks every day, also
endorsed the $300 salary increase.

Mr. Whalen stated that teachers
who are ill continue to appear in
the classrooms because of the short-
sighted policy of the Board in re-
fusing absence refunds, He said that
the Joint Committee would seek re-
lief in legislation, although the situ-
ation could be cleared by Board
action.

Dual Job Law
And Defense Training

Serious curtailment of emergency
defense training classes and possible
closing of evening trade schools was
foreseen as a result of the decision

on the dual-job law by the Appellate |

Division in Brooklyn last week. ‘The
Appellate Division ruled that
Board of Education had exceeded its
powers in interpreting the phrase
“one schoo] year in the aggregate”

|to mean 1,000 clock hours of actual
teaching when granting exemptions

from the dual job law.

James Marshall, president of the |

Board of Education, said that school
officials were left in the dark
what was meant by the statute.
decision,” he said, ill affect the
academic’ eyening schools, too, be-

the |

to |

cause it will require the appointment
of new supervisors each year, there-
by interfering with the continuity of
instruction and administration.”

Mr. Marshall added that if the Cor-
poration Counsel did not appeal the
decision or obtain a declaratory
judgment clearly establishing the
meaning of the phrase “one school
year in the aggregate” in reference
to exemptions, the only remedy
might might be an amendment to the
statute.

Mayor LaGuardia issued a state-
ment to the effect that he agreed
completely with the decision of the
Appellate Division and that he had
instructed the Corporation Conusel
not to appeal it. The Ma:
that he had worked four years for
the passage of the dual-job law and
its purpose was to spread employ-
ment among teache

“The one thousand hours’ pro-
ons was not in the city’s original
draft. We meant one year—one
|calendar or one school year, The
Appellate Division caught that very
| point and decided accordingly.”

Not Delighted With

Coudert Committee
Sirs

I have just finished reading
Miss Healy's column in The Leaver
for January 14, 1941, I am very
happy to note that her views do not
necessarily represent the views of
The Leaver, I feel quite certain that
her views do not represent the views
of a majority of the teachers.

| Teachers are definitely not de~
lighted to learn that the Coudert
Committee has been extended.
Teachers know, as does any wide-
awake Civil Service group or pa-
rent-teacher group, that the basie
aim and purpose of the Coudert

Committee have nothing to do with
subversive groups,

Even if we take the sponsoring or=
ganizations and individuals who
have backed the Coudert Committee
at their face value, we can see quite
clearly that the “job” that the Cou-
dert Committee has undertaken has
been and will continue to be to lay
the ground-work for destruction of
free and higher education, for con-
tinuing and deepening the budget
slashes which have curtailed state
aid and crippled the school system,
to achieve a 25% pay cut for teach-
‘ers, and, possibly, to point ultimately
to the goal of the Chamber of Com-
merce as plainly expressed last year,
to see to it that our educational sys-
tem is geared to do no more
“prevent illiteracy.”

Pay for Civil Service Draftees?

The Big Civil Service Issue This Year in the State Levislature Is the Pay Differential for Drafted

State and City Employees.

Governor Lehman Has Urged it, and Several Bills Have Already Been

Introduced. But There's Much Controversy Over the Differential, from Employees Themselves as
Tue Leaver Has Asked Two of the State’s Foremost Citizens to Tell What They
Think. New York State’s Aggressive, Hard-Hittiny Lieutenant-Governor, Coordinator of Its Defense

Well as Others.

Efforts, Favors t.

he Differential,

mittee in the Assembly.

Yes! SAYS LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR CHARLES POLETTI

HEN Governor Lehman called
upon the State Legislature to
provide the difference in pay

WwW

between military and civil salary for

State and municipal employees con-
scripted under the Selective Service
Law, he put into words a deep-felt
sense of obligation, The answer of
the Legislature will color, in no
small part, the fate of millions of
young Americans going into military
training.

New York State, notably under re-

cent administrations, has been in the
forefront in social legislation, Labor
relations, adequate housing, insur-
ance for the unemployed—these are
but a few of the humane advances in

| which New York State has led.

Today, when the defense program
is uppermost in the nation's concern,
the spotlight again plays on New
York State, What will be our an-
swer?

By providing this difference in pay

|for drafted public employees, New

York State will do two very
portant things:

Burden of All

First, all citizens will assume some
of the burden which the Selective
Service Law places on the shoulders
of those men between 21 and 35.
None can gainsay the sacrifice our

im-

| young men are called upon to make. |

Most of these young men are just
about getting launched in their life
work, yet they willingly give one
year of their lives for the safety of
our country. Their dispatch on regis-
tration day last October 16 shows
the eagerness with which this sacri-
fice is being met. We will never be
able to return to them the year they

| spend at camp—nor would they ask
for it. But we can lighten the bur-
den somewhat by making up to them
that portion of their salary which
| they otherwise stand to lose.

The cost of government will be in-
creased, only slightly, The State Ad-
ministration will not fill vacancies
except in the most urgent cases. The

employees, not called into military |

| service, will increase their own ef-
| forts since they will understand that
|the program is one of enlightened
| humane treatment of employees.

Lead to Private Employers

Second, we give the lead to private
industry everywhere, Payment of
the differential to New York State's
public employees will serve as a
great force for moral persuasion
upon private employers here and in
other States, Many private employ-
ers are already paying a differential

Those who argue that this is dis-
criminatory legislation setting gov-
ernment employees above all others
fail to appreciate the facts. There is
no attempt here to give to public
employees something refused to
workers in private industry. Quite
the contrary. Instead of reducing all

Opposed Is the Chairman of the Powerful Ways and Means Com-

benefits to a common low, as oppo-
nents of this legislation seem to seek,
it hopes to raise all by raising one
important segment of the employ-
ment scene. For we hope that the
very act of giving the differential to
| government workers will bring the
same benefits to their brothers work-
ing in private industry.

I need only mention that both the
| State Federation of Labor and the
New York State Industrial Council
of the CIO have placed themselves
vigorously on record for the differ-
ential to show that organized labor
|does not believe in the superficial
| argument that this is discriminatory
legislation.

During the World War, New York
State's Legislature passed legislation
similar to that now being urged by
Governor Lehman, Right now, pub-
(lic employees inducted into Federal
| Service as members of the National
Guard, Naval Militia, or Reserve
Corps enjoy the benefits of the pay
| differential. By extending these
benefits to all public employees, New
York State will be faithful to genu-
ine belief in progressive labor stand-
ards for all employees, public and
private,

Nol! says ASSEMBLYMAN ABBOT LOW MOFFAT

T IS my opinion, and I am speak-

] ing for myself, that the
proposal to pay salary differen-
tials to State and municipal em-
ployees who are drafted is unsound

the best interests of State and mu-
nicipal employees as a whole.

It is unsound from an economic
point of view because it would im-
pose a terrific financial burden on
the public at a time when they can
least afford such added burden, ‘The
national defense program is not to
be entered upon lightly with the
thought that it will all be over
within a few months. If, as is quite

number of years, the cost of the pro-

by the public would be staggering.

Undemocrati

It is undemocratic because it pro-
poses to set up class distinctions and
reintroduce the concept, which was
partly eliminated when the income

|tax exemptions were removed, that
| the public is divided into two groups

—those who work for government
and those who support government.
There is little doubt in my mind

but that the Legislature will protect

the jobs and pension rights of men
drafed from the State or municipal
service, They will thus start with
a security which no other draftee in

ct will possess. If, in addition, they
draw from the public treasury the
salary differential proposed, they
will be given a preferential treat
ment which no other draftee in fact
will possess, It would be a mockery
