If Rockefeller does have
any cholce, it js reported that
he will make no announce-
ment on the subject until
after the current session of)

for this, it is said, is that
the Governor doesn’t want to|

strong sentiment to see an

that a “natural” for the post
is Columbia County's R. Bur-

Thomas Dewey's law firm and

being created about T. Paul

this writing, Lieut, Gov, Mal- |

Jaeckle, in his late 60s, is said
to be very reluctant, however.

most say, are against it,

There are no fanfares about
this race, but a race is defi-
nitely on. The post is a highly
important one in terms of
patronage power and prestige
and is more sought after than
is publicly known or admitted.
The winner will probably
emerge sometime in late
March or In April.

employees in that state,

These mechanical street fush-

Purchase and were sold to the
Greek state through the coopera-
tion of Mayor Wagner and the

Not adversely, employers and
department heads report. The
only effect it has had on em-
ployment was to better workin
jconditions and shorten hours of
employment.

} Part of the vanishing scene in
New York City is the “white
wing"—a Sanitation Department
employee who was noted for his
ever-clean white uniform. The
“white wing" was responsible for
the sweeping of a small section
of city streets. Equipped with a
|push-broom atid a trash can on
|wheels, the “white wing" was a
familiar sight in a neighborhood
until 10 years ago. Today, his
place is taken by an impersonal
mechanical broom, an odd-shaped
truck which can replace between

10 and 20° “white-wings.” The
job done by the mechanical
broom is faster, although many
jelaim that it fs not as thorough;
and in addition to clearing debris,
also flushes the street,

reports, has increased the num-

| In addition, the work-week of
jthe employees within the Depart-
|ment has been shortened and,

the type work done by the indi-

| However, the number of employees
jof the department has not de-
jcreased because of this mecha-
nization or automation—In fact
[it has increased.

also changed through automation,

Real Estate Tax Exemption

THE TAX LAW of the State of New York provides vari-
ous exemptions from real property taxation. One of these
exemptions is for real property of veterans although not

all real property of veterans is exempt from taxation,

| IN SUBSTANCE, the law provides that where real prop-
erty is purchased with the proceeds of a veteran’s pension,
bonus or insurance or dividends or refunds on such ingur-
ance, heretofore or hereafter received, called “eligible funds,”
paid by the United States or New York State and is owned
by said veteran or by his wife or unremarried widow or
dependent father or mother or by his minor children, the
| property is exempt from taxation (except for school taxes)
to the extent of such moneys so applied, not in excess of
} $5,000, provided a verified ‘application is filed with the
| Assessors,

SUCH PROPERTY shall be assessed in the same manner
as other real property in the tax districts, At or before the
meeting of the assessors to hear the complaints concerning
assessments, a verified application for the exemption of such
real property from taxation may be presented to them by
| or on behalf of the owner thereof, which application must
show the facts on which the exemption is claimed, including
the amount of eligible funds used in or toward the purchase
of such property, The mingling of such eligible funds with
other funds shall not bar the granting of a claim for such
exemption.

| Insufficient Moving
Allowance Cited By

Civil Service Comm.

The Civil Service Commission
has been making plans to come to
the aid of relocating Federal
workers. A new CSC proposal, |
which {s still in the development
stages, will call for relocation |
allowances for civil servants and|
their families who are transferred
from one place to another. |

Under the present system,
transferred employees are not)
being fully compensated for their
Moving expenses, etc. No provi-
sions are made for transportation
expenses for the employees’
family or expenses over and above
the ordinary moving expense.

The CSC legislation will pro-
pose that Federal workers and
their families receive treatment
similar to that of military per-
sonnel in regards to relocation
expenses

Questions Answered

Why do statistics show more
Korean Conflict veterans each
month and less veterans of all
other wars?

Because people are still becom-
ing veterans—that is, leaving ac-

tive service and a great number
jof them served In the Korean
| Conflict. (If they served in World
| War II also they are considered
Korean veterans for benefit pur-
poses.) They are not considered
veterans until they leaye the

Use Of Oral Exams
Should Be Suspended

F any area of the State's personnel practices Is in need of

not only close scrutiny but also intelligent and logical ex-
planation, it is the use of oral examinations in promotion
tests.

, Im past months, a large number of examinations where
the oral test method has been used to determine promotions
have been protested by the State Civil Service Employees
Association, the Supreme and Surrogate’s Court Attaches’
Assn, and numerous Individuals, These protests have charged
that oral exams can be used as a subterfuge to avoid perma-
nent appointments, subject eligibles to unqualified judges,
take place in settings that are out of relation to the posi-
tion in question and vary in use to the point of confusion
in what the standards are for conducting such examinations.

The State Civil Service Department itself has conceded
on previous occasions that refinement and constructive assist-
ance is needed on the oral examination process. There are
several court decisions against the use of oral examination,

Considering the confusion and concern it seems to us’
that the use of oral examinations should be suspended until)
this situation is clarified,

It would seem that so disturbing a personnel complaint
deserves the most serious and immediate attention. It ts a
grave injustice to let employees continue to suffer from £0
uncertain a personnel practice.

Tragedy Prevented

CTIONS speak louder than words. To prove this addage,

Sylvester V. Pointkowski, director of public relations for

the Transit Authority, will spend the next ten weeks with
®@ plaster cast covering a broken leg.

Constantly preaching courtesy and loyalty to the riding

BEekmen 3-6010

public as by-words of a Transit Authority employee, Mr. |

Pointkowski has changed the attitude of thousands of em-
ployees who are responsible for the safe and efficient opera-

tion of transit facilities in New York City. Through classes}

in courtesy which he inaugerated with the approval of the
Transit Authority commissioners, Mr. Pointkowski showed
employees how to effectively deal with the public. As a
by-product, employees were taught the necessity of caring
jor the needs of others and watching for their safety.

Being a man of action, Mr. Pointkowski lost no time in}

preventing tragedy while on asking holiday in New England
early last week. Seeing a skier sliding, out of control, down
a slope and heading for a perilous area, he gave chase and
caught the man, knocking him to the ground just short of
certain death, The thankful man escaped injury but the
‘T.A, public rélations director fractured his leg. The cast will
remind all employees that Mr. Pointkowski believes in what
he says.

Needing Debate

Editor, The Leader;

‘Three items that recently ap-
peared in your paper require, it
| seems to me, further discussion,

Luncheon Expense on Travel

Assignments

© Comptroller Levitt called at-
tention to the ruling of the In-
ternal Revenue Service holding
that such lunch expense was
deemed to be remuneration and

therefore taxable in those cases
where the traveler returns to his}
home and does not remain away)
overnight, This fs not a new rul-
ing but it may be indicative of
further efforts of the IRS to In-
crease the take, I believe that)
either the Comptroller or the
CSEA should resist this ruling
and take the necessary court ac-
tion. This ts not the case of a de-
duction by a traveling salesman
for a private company, The law)
of the State provides that this is
an expense and not part of wages.
It would be contrary to law for
the State to pay more than the
established wage for the position.
Therefore, I do not believe that
[IRs can successfully maintain
\their position. The State is still a
sovereign entity.

Loan Insurance and the “Death
Gamble” Law

©@ It was indeed surprising to
read the letter of Mr, Felly to|
Comptroller Levitt concerning the |
Joan insurance premium because
it was assumed that “the insur-
ance on the loan would not be
paid if his widow elected to take
the benefits under Section 77 of
the Retirement and Social Secur-
{ty Law (death gamble)..." I
do not concede that this.is neces-
jsarily so and I was glad to read|
in your last issue that the matter
{fs under study. The same situa-
tion under a comparable law
came before the Corporation
Counsel of the City of New York,
There a teacher had died and the
widow applied for the benefits
under their “death gamble"
statute, The attorney for the City
of New York in ruling that she
}Was entitled to recelve the insur-
ance as well, stated: ". . . the!
‘death gamble’ law is essentially
& means of granting benefit upon
death before actual retirement
Under specified circumstances. As
jsuch, the presumption of retire-
ment on the day immediately
preceding death, was not inten-
ded to apply or nullify the bene-
fit granted by Section B20.37
upon death before retirement.”
He then held that the amount
of insurance covering the loan
Outstanding at the date of the
teacher's death should be credit~
ed to his accumulated deductions
in the same manner as though
he had not been deemed to have
retired on the day immediately
preceding death . , ." This, it
seems to me, is the proper de-
cision under this remedial law,
It should be the same for mem-

Money In The Bank

FEW CIVIL SERVANTS realize that good public rela-
tions can mean money in the bank.

IN ADDITION TO higher pay as a reward for good per-
formance, good public relations can mean more bond money
for government at lower interest rates. This could make
more public money available for civil service ralses.

IF IT HASN'T already, government had better learn
quickly and thoroughly all about financial public relations,
& comparatively new public relations activity.

UNFORTUNATELY, government has almost completely
ignored financial public relations, brushing it off as “good
for private industry but not for us.”

THE TRUTH IS that government goes to the financial
well more often and for much larger amounts’ of money
than private industry.

IN CASE ANYONE should doubt how much government
asks the investing public to lend it, here is a partial listing
of one day of government bond offerings printed on the

ON A SINGLE day, out of approximately 250 business
days in a year, government agencies asked investors for
$182,967,000! And this does not include the Federal Gov-
ernment which is always in the market for ready cash.

IF ANY MORE proof be needed, let’s cite the case of
Puerto Rico, This Commonwealth enjoys one of the best
financial public relations reputations of any government
agency. The result is Puerto Rico can get all the invest-
ment mdney {t needs at the most favorable interest rates
obtainable.

A GOVERNMENT entity wins good financial public re-
lations by good management, good employee relations, on-
time tax collections, and good service,

NATURALLY, AT the foundation of these activities are
the civil servants, who must assume their responsibility for
generating this good image.

GOVERNMENT AGENCIES should not try to carry out
their own financial public relations with a do-it-yourself kit,
Just as government retains outside consultants to solve en-
gineering, traffic or sanitation problems, it should call in spe-
clalists to handle financial public relations.

FENANCIAL PUBLIC relations calls for a highly pro-
fessional knowledge of security analysts, bond underwriters,
security dealers and the financial press. The comparatively
small consultant's fee may save a government agency thou-
sands of dollars in extra, interest.

uled by the State Civil Service
Department for Union Pree
School District No. 3, Township
of Tonawanda (Civil Service an-
nouncement 8805). In June, 1962,
the- State Civil Service Depart-
ment established a list of success-
ful candidates for this position. I
understand about twelve passed.
To the best of my knowledge the
list of successful candidates was
never published in any of the
local newspapers, I contacted the
‘State Civil Service Department In
Buffalo and was told that the
county Civil Service Department
would have the lst published, The
county Civil Service Department
claimed it was not in their juris-
diction to have the list published.

I know the job was filled pro-
visionally pending the results of
the examination. To the best of

y knowledge an appointment
has never been made from the
Mist.

It would, therefore, appear to
me that the Diefendorf proposal
to place the business titles in the
unclassified category of civil ser-

ability of the Civil Service De-

IENE M

By WILLIAM ROSSITER
CSEA Mental Hygiene Representative
(The views expressed in this column are those of the writer and

do not necessarily constitute the views of this newspaper or of any
organization).

Attendant Reallocation

SPECIAL Mental Hygiene Attendants Committee met
in Albany on January 23rd to conclude the first part of the
committee business, namely, the appeal for reallocation of
attendants from grade 5 to grade 7, Two previous meetings
had been held. The formal salary appeal is now being for-
mulated for presentation to the Division of Classification and
Compensation.

THIS SPECIAL committee was appointed by Joseph F.
Felly, president, CSEA, for the purpose of securing better
salaries and promotional opportunities for attendants in the
Department of Mental Hygiene. The committee has recom-
mended that a new position of trainee be created at Grade
5 and automatic promotion after one year of service to
Grade 7 and that a new title of senior attendant be estab-
lished at Grade 9, with the staff attendant position going to
grade 11, Required would be 2,500 new senior attendant posi-
tions—these would be on a competitive basis. Additional
plans and work are needed to carry out these objectives by
the committee.

THERE ARE MANY reasons why our attendants should
be placed in higher grades. Space will not permit the print-
ing of all these reasons but we will mention some of them.

‘THE NATURE OF the duties and responsibilities involved
in the attendant position have changed significantly in the
past few years, It is our contention that the upward
allocation of this title should not be denied on the basis
that the vast number of positions involved or affected by
such upward reallocation would have insur ountable fiscal

implications from the State of New York To deny the)
application on the behalf of the attendants on this basis
would result in the imposition of a state of immobility with
respect to salaries forapproximately 25 percent of New York

State employee:

OF THE 2 7 WARD service positions in the Depart-
ment of Mental Hygiene, 23,759 are in the attendant group.
This appeal is a big one and also a tough one as it involves
s0 many positions. We think that It ls a deservi one as
attendants have not been upgraded since April 1958.

IN IMPROVING THE care and treatment of mental
patients, the State has found it necessary to add new duties
and responsibilities to the position of attendant but has
failed to recognize that the changing nature of this position
makes its former concept obsolete and its present salary In-
adequate,

NEW YORK STATE HAS made great strides in the care
and treatment of its mental patients through a series of
progressive programs carried out by the Department of
Mental Hygiene. These programs have involved many in-
novations which have greatly changed the type of care and
treatment given to mental patients, As a necessary conse-
Quence of these innovations the work of the attendants has
increased and their duties and responsibilities have changed
sufficiently and significantly,

THE ATTENDANT is now required to be thoroughly
familiar with the prescribed dosage of tranquilizing drugs
and administers same to patients, He must know the pos-
sible side effects of the drug on the patient as well as the
expected reaction to the drug.

THE “OPEN DOOR policy,” eliminating strict confine-
ment of many mental patients to the ward and aiding
@reatly In the treatment program has at the same time
given the attendant more responsibility. It is less difficult
to maintain close supervision over patients in a confined
situation than it is oyer those who have access to’ more
facilities within the institution,

THE SHORTAGE OF qualified nursing personnel has
made it necessary for the attendant to assume many of the
duties normally delegated to a registered nurse, These added
ward nursing functions become one of the prime respon-
sibilities of the attendants,

THE NUMBER OF our geriatric patients is increasing

as modern medicine has increased life expectancy of the
general population. These aging patients require consider-
able care because of mental and physical symptoms and make
up over one half of our mentally Ill patients.
NTENSIVE TREATMENT programs, research programs;
in child psychiatry, alcoholism, mental deficiency, mentally
Ml criminals, biochemistry and narcotic addiction, to mention
only a few, make the tasks for many of our attendants more
diMficult, And in such instances, the attendant is not offered
any additional compensation for-the performance of his
duties.

AT OUR SEVEN state schools for mental defectives,
there is an increase in admissions of patients requiring com

Again Names Rep.

the educable group, This means.a large group of patients
are unable to participate in scholastic programs and require
more attention by attendants.

WITH PROGRESSIVE in-service training; the attendant
has become an important member of the psychiatric team, He
is most valuable to the doctor and nurse in the overall ad-
ministration and care of patients, Many attendants, after
proper training, conduct ward activity classes, They are
either occupational or recreational classes. The record shows
that these classes play an important part in the rehabilita-
tion of the mentally 111.

A COMPARISON of the minimum and maximum salaries
of Grade 5 in the New York State Salary Schedule with sal-
aries paid in similar position titles in some other States show
that the attendants salary in our State is lower, while at the
same time the responsibilities of our attendants are greater.

ATTENDANTS AS A whole feel that they are doing a
g00d job. Much has been written and sald in praise of their
dedication and work. They know that they are the backbone
of every mental institution, They feel, however, that their
Salaries are too low and promotional opportunities are
limited, They contend that the State of New York has not
given proper recognition to the changing concept of the
position of attendant in terms of annual compensation and
that such recognition is long overdue and justified. We
agree heartily!

WE WOULD ALSO like to encourage other employees in
the Department to file appeals for’ reallocation. If you are
a beautician, barber, elerk, painter, carpenter, or whatever
position you hold and want to make out an appeal, this is
your right, The CC 2 appeal forms can be obtained at your
personnel office, Appeals can be made by an individual or a
group of employees. Information and help can be obtained
from William Blom, Director of Research, CSEA, at associa-
tion headquarters, 8 Elk St., Albany, New York.
