Joh Freeze

Thawed

At Letchworth Village
_ And Wassaic Schools

THIELLS—It took a hungry child to convince the State
Administration that serious personnel shortages exist at
two Downstate Mental Hygiene institutions.

Because of the job freeze on hiring and filling of vacan-

cies in State departments and
agencies initiated by the Admin-
istration in December, Letch-
worth Village in Thiells and
Wassalc State School were
caught seriously understaffed
and unable to hire ward service
personnel to care for the re-
tarded children.

Protests by the Civil Service
Employees Assn., hospital offi-
cials, and a group of State leg-
islators who toured Letchworth,
over the deplorable conditions
and lack of patient care, resulted
in the State Division of the Bud-
get's allowing Letchworth to im-
mediately hire 81 additional em-
ployees, and Wassaic, 24 posi-
tions in ward service.

An administration spokesman
sald that these two institutions,
in comparison with others, were
seriously understaffed when the
freeze was imposed and that the
filling of the recently authorized
positions would result in roughly
the same proportion of employees
on the payroll at these facilities
as other institutions had at the
time of the freeze.

CSEA chapter at Letchworth,

called on the school’s adminis-
tration to concentrate its recruit-
ment on psychiatric attendants
since it is this area where the
problems are most severe.

A New York “Daily News” ar-
ticle said that “. .. many of the
retarded youngsters, unable to
feed themselves, were missing
meals because there were not
enough attendants to help them.”

Clark said: “If youngsters
were missing meals because of
an attendant shortage, it is ob-
vious that rehabilitation and
training has also suffered great-
ly. We need personnel to fill
these vacancies who have a sense
of dedication and are able to
immediately step in and com-
municate with these youngsters.”

Willowbrook Therapists Complain
As State Seeks To Reduce Jobs

STATEN ISLAND—A group of employees at Willowbrook State School who have
dedicated much of their working lives to helping retarded youngsters have threatened
an unspecified job action for March 16 if the State goes ahead with its plan to remove
these employees from their jobs.

The State told more than 30
provisional employees involved in
occupational, recreational and
physical therapy at the School,
that they would have to leave
their current positions and take
much lower-paying jobs in other
areas of the institution or leave,
although most of them have
spent years and gained inval-
uable experience working in
these therapy programs.

ALBANY—Presidents of the Civil Service Employees
Assn. ‘chapters from all over the State have voted to give
their organization’s full support to Donald M. Jurusek, a
State claims examiner at Albany, in Workman's Compensa-

tion Board pursuing a grievance
against his employer.

The commitment to back Jur-
usek was voiced by the more
than 150 chapter leaders who
considered a varied agenda at a
meeting here last week (see Page
9), on a motion introduced by
Solomon Bendet, second vice-
president of the Employees Assn.
and president of CSEA’s New
York City ehapter. Jurusek, who
is president of a CSEA chapter,
in his agency, was also present
at the meeting.

Jurusek initiated his grievance
when the duties of a position to
which he was secently promoted

were allegedly expanded. Accord-
ing to Jurusek, prior to his pro-
motion there had been a verbal
understanding that certain du-
ties of his future job were to be
reshuffled to the mutual satis-
faction of him and his employer,
Jurusek contends, however, that
the supposed changes to be made
proved instead to be an actual
expansion of duties, which in
fact turned the position into
more than a one-man job.

When his original complaint
on the matter was rejected
as being unfounded, Jurusel

and the Nation’s mayors, led
principally by Mayor John V.
Lindsay, are putting up a spir-
ited battle for Federal revenue
sharing. The Nixon Administra-
tion is galvanizing all of its re~
sources to promote Congressional
action on this major phase of
the goals described by President
Richard M. Nixon in his State
of the Union address as the New
American Revolution. Yet despite
the massive pressure being ex-
erted, it appears highly likely
that Congress will not be moved.

Two major factors militate
against Congressional approval
of Federal revenue sharing at
this time. First is the deficit
state of the Federal budget,
coupled with the characteristic
reluctance of Congressmen to
vote for tax increases where they
have no control over expendi-
tures. Second is the generally low
esteem held by the public of the
quality of performance by local
governments.

Federal Deficit

According to Nixon Adminis-
tration fiscal experts, the Fed-
eral budget will wind up this
fiscal year with a deficit of $11.6
billion. Fiseal experts of the
House Ways and Means Com-
mittee challenge that estimate
with the prediction that the def-
Acit will be closer to $25 billion.
In addition, the National debt is
at staggering levels and keeps
rising. On June 30, 1968, the Na-
tional debt amounted to $348
billion. On June 3, 1970, Congress
Increased the permanent debt
ceiling to $380 billion and the
temporary ceiling to $395 billion.
And just two weeks ago, Treas-

ury Secretary John Connally of-
ficlally asked Congress to lift
the ceiling further by the end
of March to $435 billion.

With the Federal budget op-
erating at a deficit level and
the National debt continuing to
mount, many Congressmen who
would like to share the Federal
wealth with states and local gov-
ernments find that there is in
fact no wealth to share. In their

Paterson Named
To State Commission
On Local Government

ALBANY—Governor Rock-
efeller has announced the
appointment of Basil A. Pat-
erson of New York City to
the Temporary State Commis-
sion on the Powers of Local Gov-
ernment.

Paterson, an attorney, is ex-
ecutive vice-president and spe-

York Law Journal of which Jer-
ry Finkelstein, publisher of The
Leader, {s also publisher. A form-
er State Senator, he was a can-
didate for Lt. Governor in last
November's election.

The commission to which he
was named is headed by former
New York City Mayor Robert F.
Wagner. Created last July, the
commission is now engaged in a
broad study of the powers, re-
sponsibilities and fiscal affairs
of local government. Members
serve without salary.

Mayor Wagner commended the

te families,

view the Federal cupboard is as
bare as those of the states and
local governments.

Local Governments

Other Congressmen question
the ability of state and local
governments to spend money
wisely. Corruption and venality
among local government officials
have for generations been a
blight on American municipal
administration. In addition, local
government structures were by
and large designed to meet the
simpler needs of ‘a simpler so-
ciety, and have but slowly and
reluctantly adapted to modern
times. In 1966, the important
Committee on Economic Devel-
opment, reporting on local gov-
ernments, asserted:

“There are strong reasons for
disenchantment. American crime
rates in rural, urban, and sub-
urban areas are high. Several
countries with less per capita
wealth have lower infant mor-
tality rates and longer life ex-
pectancies. Public school defici-
encies are more noticeable. The
character of welfare programs
and the competence of their ad-
ministration are under attack.
Urban transportation problems
outpace attempted solutions.
Slum clearance and redevelop-
ment lag behind the processes
of decay. Economic development
of most communities is frus-
trated by want of government
power. Local units depend too
heavily on the property tax, ad-
ministration of which is gener-
ally so inequitable as to be
scandalous.”

Many local government offi-
cials will agree with the conclu-
sion of the Committee about
general disenchantment with lo-
cal government operations, but
disagree sharply with Commit-
tee views as to the causes of the
disenchantment. Many top flight
local government officials and
municipal administrators have
been frustrated by their inability
to act because of their limited
powers, because of Federal and
state red-tape requirements in
various financial grant programs,
and because of the severe limi-
tations on their fiscal resources,

‘These officials see in Federal
revenue sharing @ release from
their fiscal confinement and a
release of local energies to
achieve the goals and objectives
of local government organiza-
tions, Congress may be reluctant
to approve Federal revenue shar-
ing this year. On the other hand
progress in that direction, and
in the direction of increased Fed-
eral aid to states and local gov-
ernments, will no doubt be made
this year through assumption by
the Federal government of a
greater share of welfare costs.
This would by no means satisfy
Governor Rockefeller and Mayor
Lindsay, or other vigorous pro-
ponents of Federal revenue shar-
ing, but it will help alleviate in
some respects the fiscal crisis
that confronts so many states
and cities,

(The views expressed in this column are those of the writer and
do not necessarily constitute the views of this newspaper.)

BEAUTY, they say, is in the eye of the beholder.

THIS FIREFIGHTER is beginning to believe it’s in his
pocketbook — particularly if he is the builder of the
many new glass-and-concrete office skyscrapers going up
in Manhattan.

IN TOO MANY of these buildings, the fire exits are
camouflaged for beauty’s sake, and the people who are
there on a daily basis are either told casually, not told @ ({
all or left to their own resources in finding fire exits, sec-
ondary means of leaving a floor, ete.

TWO PEOPLE were killed and 30 injuried in the fire j
that involved three floors of the 50-story building at 1
New York Plaza last Aug. 5. Like all of its contemporaries, {
this building had sealed windows. For beauty, I have been
told.

HOGWASH!
truth.

SEAL THE WINDOWS and you can control the internal
temperature year-around — keep in the air conditioning
the Summer months and retain the heat in the Winter.
And forget about the guy who remembers what a breath
of fresh air is like, because the odds are that he would only
get a snootful of pollution if he were able to open one of |
those sealed windows, Winter or Summer. i

ONE OF the major problems in finding the fire at
1 New York Plaza was the heat. The firefighter was asked
to go — and he went — into a glass-windowed oven in |
which the heat climbed to an unbelievable 1,500 degrees!

NOW, EVEN if the structure of a building has limitations
for safety reasons, there are no rules or regulations go’
erning the interior furnishing except beauty — and, ‘
course, the ever-present dollar,

IT IS IMPORTANT to be aware of this for several rea-
sons: various new items of office equipment and decor-
aation are coming on the market almost daily, without any-
one testing to see at what temperature they will burn or ‘
what kind of gases they give off when they do burn.

AT 1 NEW YORK Plaza, for example, it was discovered |
after the fire that some of the interior furnishings were |
made of materials which produced flammable gases at 212 \
deg. — in other words, that they were capable of bursti: |
into flame at a temperature one-seventh the intensity th: in’
actually was reached in that oven! ,

THE DAMAGE in that fire, incidentally, apart from \
the loss of human life and the unnecessary suffering of those |
who survived, has been estimated at $10,000,000!

ON TOP OF THAT, I have been informed that fire in-
surance rates are to be upped some 20 percent because of |
such heavy losses.

ONE BENEFICIAL result of that fire (if there really
is such a thing) and other similar fires in the City in re-

Niagara Social Service Workers

Picket Offices To Protest Firing
Of Aides Who Refused Overtime

(From Leader Correspondent)

NIAGARA FALLS—More than 40 Social Service caseworkers from, Niagara County
picketed their offices here recently to protest the firing of two co-workers who refused

to work overtime.

The caseworkers, all members of the Civil Service Employees Assn. walked the picket

Une with signs in hand for 7//
hours on a Saturday, their day
off, and then before reporting to
work and during lunch hours on
subsequent weekdays.

Meanwhile, Daunt I. Stenzel,
County Social Services Comm:
sioner, who triggered the dis-
pute when he fired the two
CSEA employees, was reportedly
attempting to settle the dispute
by seeking a meeting with Robert
A. Milling, CSEA field represen-
tative, and William M. Doyle.
president of the Niagara County
CSEA chapter.

One Niagara county legislator,
William Feder of Niagara Fall
a@ Republican, visited the picket
lines and tried to resolve the
issue. But his attempts to con-
tact Stenzel the first day of the
picketing were unsuccessful

‘The two CSEA employees were
discharged after Stenzel circu-
lated a note among caseworkers
asking for volunteers to work
Saturdays for compensatory time
and the two workers, both clas-
sified as temporary, refused.

Prior to their dismissal, the
CSEA caseworkers had endeav-
ored to enlist support for Sten-
zel’s work request on a strictly
volunteer basis.

Stenzel has denfed a report
that he threatened insubordina-
tion proceedings against the
pickets. The Commissioner re-
portedly said no disciplinary
action was planned.

He contends the firings of the

— CSEA Complains —
Wilton School Official
Too Busy To Bargain—
Reading A Newspaper

WILTON.

Officials at Wilton State School in Saratoga

County, an institution that treats mentally retarded chil-
dren, have been accused of “arrogance and immaturity” by
the Civil Service Employees Assn. in connection with nego-

tiations affecting
the institution

John P. McGraw, CSEA field
representative, said certain offi-
cials at the school, in the ab-
sence of the institution director
who is away on vacation, “have
shown a complete disregard for
the collective negotiating process
by displaying an arrogant and
immature attitude during the
first session of institution level
negotiations.”

McGraw said that the em-
ployees’ negotiating team “had
entered the meeting with a stn-
cere desire to bilaterally discuss
the many problems that face the

employees at

employees at Wilton, with an
aim toward mutually resolving
these issues. Instead we were

greeted with an attitude border-
ing on contempt by the institu-
tion’s personnel director and
business officer. It 1s obvious
that the recent labor relations
and negotiations workshop for,
the Department of Mental Hy-
giene’s management employees,
including Vell Avery, personnel
director, and William Foley,
“business officer at Wilton State
School, flopped.”

“The first session was sched-
uled to discuss ground rules. Our
negotiating team submitted
ground rules demands and Mr,

Avery, instead of
immersed himself in reading a
local newspaper, pretending to
be oblivious of the reasons why
we were there in the first place.
Mr. Foley treated the negotiat-
ing session as one big joke. As
@ result, our employees were in-
sulted and humiliated by the
actions of these so-called respon-
sible officers and declared an
impasse. In fact after almost
two hours of this charade, the
only ground rule agreement
reached was to declare a news
blackout until the conclusion of

responding,

negotiations
“Our members will not sub-
ject themselves again to such

treatment and will return to the
bargaining table only when the
Institution 1s willing to truly
negotiate as called for under the
Taylor Law.”

McGraw said that Dr. Imman-
uel Rechter, the institution dir-
ector, was on vacation in Europe
and that CSEA’s current feelings
in the matter were not intended
to cast aspersions on him, “Dr,
Rechter has been more than co-
operative in his dealings with us
concerning employee problems.
We are sure that had he been
here, this problem would never

cent years has been a basic internal structural change in
the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, the monstrous
buildings that already dominate the City’s skyline at the

southern tip of Manhattan.

AT A COST of $750,000, the Port Authority is installing
in the ventilation system of the Twin Towers an emergency
system for expelling heat and smoke. I don’t know how
beautiful this system will look, but I’m sure the builders
and owners can see the beauty of a $750,000 investment that
may avert fire losses of tens of millions of dollars and, hope-
fully reduce the number of lives lost and people hurt in

smoke, heat and fire.

THE NEW YORK City firefighter has been asked to do
a lot of impossible things over the years — and he’s done

them.

BUT I STILL wonder how he got through the 1,500 deg.
heat of 1 New York Plaza because, brave, heroic and dedicat-
ed as he may be, the asbestos man is yet to be invested.

IF AND WHEN it is, I'm sure it will be a thing of

beauty.

Safety Survey Needed

IVIL service employees are not required to work in
Gane conditions, yet the Division of Employment has,
for over six months, tolerated unsafe and unsanitary con-
ditions at its rented offices at 1181 East New York Ave.,
Brooklyn.

A leaking roof, loose ceiling fixtures and falling, chipped
plaster were just a few of the complaints brought by the
Civil Service Employees Assn. against the property, Only
after employees, supported by CSEA, refused to work in
certain areas of the building were employees moved to more
safe sections.

The Division maintained that they were making a
mountain out of a mole hill, but recently the mole hill coi-
lapsed—the entire ceiling section where employees had
worked, fell to the desks and floor below. Only that the
employees had been moved prevented serious injury and
possible death.

Similar conditions occurred in Rockland County in an-
other building rented by New York State.

Both conditions have been corrected, but only after
action by CSEA.

However, let’s have no more in the future. We urge
the Office of General Services to establish teams of building
experts to survey all rented facilities in New York State
for possible dangers and to force the landlords to make the
necessary repairs. Then the same team should survey State-
owned buildings for the same conditions.

Employee safety training programs are useless unless
the State itself takes an active interest in its own safety
shortcomings.

A Cruel Delay

USTERITY program or not, it is unjust—yes, even

cruel, for the City of New York to delay payment of
pension checks to its retirees for periods of over a year.
The current delay, according to a top official of the City’s
Comptroller's office, is now 15 months.

The City answers that it is giving a partial return of
contributions too “keep the pensioners going,” but this is
not enough, Pensions, as unknowing taxpayers fail to real-
ize, are not as lucrative as they are thought to be, but to
hold them up because of a lack of manpower is a disgrace
that would not be tolerated for one minute in private
industry.

One pensioner, retired over a year, pointed out that
except the fact that his wife is still working and that he
has social security and a Navy disability pension, he would
have to go on welfare. Although he was a member of the
pension system for over 30 years, his pension will be small
enough indeed, but he still doesn’t even know what the
total monthly check will be.

We ask the Mayor and the Comptroller to waive the
rules about rehiring pensioners and bring back some qual-
ified employees to the pension bureau without suspending
their retirement benefits. The emergency period could not
last very long once a super effort is made to clear up the
backlog.

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR

Westchester Unit
Clarifies Stand On
Deputy Sheriff Status

Editor, The Leader:

The following letter was
sent to Westchester County
Sheriff Daniel M. McMahon
by Carmine Lamagna, Westches-
ter unit president, in an effort
to clarify several misconceptions
as reported in the local press
concerning the status of deputy
sheriffs in this County.

MICHAEL DEL VECCHIO, pres.
Westchester Chapter, CSEA

February 19, 1971
Honorable Daniel F. McMahon
Sheriff, County of Westchester
Westchester County Courthouse
166 Main Street
White Plains, New York
Dear Sir:

Since the inception of the
Taylor Law in 1967, the West-
chester County Civil Service Em-
ployee’s Association, Inc. has
been recognized by Resolution as
the official representative of the
deputy sheriffs, along with the
majority of other County em-
ployees.

Since we are the official rep-
resentative, as per the Taylor
Law, we have the right to ne-
gotiate for said employees, not-
withstanding any other conten-
tion made by the “Deputy Sher-
iffs Association,” which indepen-
dent organization has petitioned
the Westchester County Public
Employment Relations Board for
de-certification and certification.
However, since no decision has
yet been made by the Westches-
ter County Public Employment
Relations Board under the pro-
visions set down under the Pub-
lic Employees’ Fair Employment
Act, mo other organization has
the right or authority to say
that they represent the said
deputy sheriffs or to negotiate
for their terms and conditions
of employment.

It has come to the attention
of the Westchester County Civil
Service Employees’ Association,
Inc. that statements have been
made by you, and are being made
by supervisory employees in
your department, which are sup-
posed to be “from the front of-
fice,” which are untrue.

The latest of such statements
was made individually, to each
of the Deputy Sheriff-Court Of-
ficers, by Mr, James Kretz, the
Chief Court Officer. He individu-
ally approached each of the dep-
uties In question and presumably
read from a written statement
which he had in hand, the re-
quirements and qualifications for
all deputy sheriffs when Civil
Service status becomes effective.
He informed them that any
deputy who wished to keep his
job would have to take a civil
service test, no matter how long
he had been employed in the
department. He further stated
that anyone over 45 years of
age or under five feet seven
inches in height would be ter-
minated because they would not
meet the qualifications,

Tt is our considered opinion
that this statement, as well as
similar statements made during
the past several weeks, have
been intended to harass and con-

Civil Service
Law & You

By RICHARD GABA

Mr. Gaba is a member of the New York State Bar and chair-
man of the Labor Law Committee of the Nassau County Bar Assn.

In Matters Of Time

IN RESPONSE to charges that he was absent from work
without leave or notification, a male nurse with more than
20 years of service in the State Department of Mental Hy-
giene submitted a letter of resignation to be effective Feb.
14, 1954. It was noted in the files of the hospital where he
was employed that the resignation was being accepted to
allow the employee to obtain necessary treatment, rest and
reorientation, and that no further disciplinary measures
would be taken in light of the fact the employee was suffer-
ing from emotional disturbances. The hospital’s file con-
tained the further notation, “When he is physically and
emotionally able, he can apply for reinstatement which will
be granted to him.”

APPROXIMATELY nine months after he resigned, the
employee was committed to a State mental hospital as an
incompetent, and a committee was appointed in his behalf.
He remained in the hospital for three years until 1957.

ON FEB. 27, 1959 he filed an application with the State
Retirement System for ordinary disability retirement on the
ground that he was disabled for the performance of his duties
by reason of mental incapacity. The application was reject-
ed by the State Comptroller on the ground that the appli-
cant was not “in service” at the time his application was filed,
since he had resigned some five years earlier. No determin-
ation on the merits of the application was made.

IN DECIDING this case, the court reviewed the applic-
able sections of the Retirement and Social Security Law
and the Civil Service Law and reached the conclusion that
the employee’s rights were covered by section 78(a) of the
CSL that was in effect in 1954 at the time of his resignation.
The court stated that section 78(a) should be given the
same interpretation as section 79 CSL, which covered ac-
cidental disability benefits. Section 79 had been interpreted
previously by the courts in Silson v. New York State Retire-
ment System, 208 Misc. 62, affd. 286 App. Div. 936, to mean
that the application need not be made while the employee
was “in service”; rather that the disability had to occur
while the employee was in service. Section 78(a) and 79
CSL are now section 62 and 63 of the RSSL respectively.

THE COURT appears, however, to impose another con-
dition; that is, the application for disability retirement must
be filed within a reasonable time after the termination of
employment. In this case, the employee was confined to a
mental hospital for three years as an adjudicated incom-
petent. He filed his application within two years after his
discharge, which the court held to be reasonable. The Comp-
troller was directed to make a determination on the merits
of the case as to whether or not the retired employee was
entitled to disability retirement, since previously the Comp-
troller had determined only that the application was not
timely. (Clark y. Levitt, 316 N.Y.S. 2d 855; App. Div. 3d
Dept. 1970.)

. . *

THE EDUCATION Law gives school boards the right to
grant sabbatical leaves to its teachers. In the case to be
discussed here, the Board granted the defendant a sabbatical
leave for one year at half pay. The Board’s rules provided
that a teacher, as a condition of receiving a sabbatical
leave, had to agree to return to the district to teach for two
years after the sabbatical leave was over. The defendant
teacher received her half salary during her leave and at
th.,end of a year she requested another year off without
pay to complete her studies,

THE PLAINTIFF Board of Education agreed to extend
the leave and wrote to the defendant, “It is understood that
this action extends your commitment to return for at least
two years.” Several months prior to her scheduled return, the
teacher sent a written resignation to the District. She was
advised by the superintendent of schools that she had to
return or refund the money paid to her during her sabbatical
leave, After the defendant wrote again confirming her in=
tention not to return, the District commenced an action
to recover the pay,

Wantagh School
Employees Again
Choose CSEA

MINEOLA — The Service
Employees International
Union has been turned back
again on Long Island after
bidding for representation rights
among custodians’ in the Wan-
tagh School District.

‘The employees voted to retain
representation by their unit of
the Civil Service Employees Assn.

Nassau CSEA chapter prest-
dent Irving Flaumenbaum noted
that the outcome was a repeat of
the union's last bid on Long Is-
land for a custodians unit, when
Huntington School District 3
employees last year voted to
keep CSEA representation.

Another CSEA official con-
tributed the victory to CSEA’s
record of accomplishment for
the employees: “We had a two-
year contract, and last Spring
we went to the school board and
got an additional two percent
cost-of-living raise for the work-
ers there, The employees didn’t
forget this, and they trust
CSEA.”

fuse the deputy sheriffs, and to
alienate them from CSEA.

Should such misstatements
continue, without being refuted
by yourself, we will have no re-
course but to pursue this matter
through proper application for
an Improper Practice Charge to
the Public Employment Relations
Board.

Very truly yours,

Feels Oral Exams
Should Be Changed

Editor, The Leader:

While some written examina-
tions may be poorly validated or
unfair, one compensating ele-
ment in our civil service merlt
system is that the scoring ma-
chine never shows an fota of
partiality. Regretfully no in-
strument is available yet which
can grade candidates on their
orals as well. Consequently some
method—if the benefits of orals
are not to be eliminated alto-
gether—must be utilized which
will not pull the curtain com-
pletely on deserving competitors.

One means would be to limit
the power of the oral examiners
to the issuance of grades between
75 and 100. Such system would
not wholly circumvent partial-
ity or subjectivity, but tt would
compel a degree of restraint.

Some of the by-products of
the plan would be (a) less pres~
sure on both candidates and the
boards (b) lower State costs be~
cause lists would not be chewed
up so rapidly (c) lower costs be-
cause the number of appeals
would be decreased (d) a wider
array of talent per list would be
available (e) embarrassment
wherein one oral board flunks
while another passes the same
candidate for a similar position
would be mitigated,

There are other advantages to
the proposal outlined above but
they are too self-evident to re-
quire elaboration

The Volkswagen accelerated.

People liked the idea of a car that didn't drink
gas like water. Or oil like water. Or, for that mate
ter, didn't even drink water,

Some strange people even liked the idea that it
was strange looking.

In fact, Detroit car makers now like the idea ofa
VW so much that they decided to make their own.

And even with all those new small cars around,
the fate of the bug is still secure.

This is the first year forall of the others.

and detailed the increased costs that presently
recommend for a dues increase. The presidents
were also informed of three plans that will be

Nassau Chap. Wants
Binding Arbitration
In Doctors Dispute

MINEOLA — The Nassau
chapter, Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn., has demanded
County Executive Ralph G.
Caso submit to binding arbitra-
tion a dispute over promised pay
boosts for staff doctors at the
County hospital.

The County has notified CSEA
of an offer that was immediately
rejected by chapter president Ir-
ving Flaumenbaum as “far from
what the agreement was.” Mean-
while, the 180 staff doctors have
refused to perform non-medical
duties.

The former County adminis-
tration last year had agreed to
grant the doctors a $1,000 pay
boost this year in satisfaction of
their expressed needs, according
to CSEA. “In fact, this was the
agreement negotiated with Coun-
ty Executive Eugene H. Nicker-
son,” who left office Dec. 31,
Flaumenbaum said. “We will
pursue this matter. The Caso
offer is far from the mark.”

Low Requisites Viewed
As Lure To Candidates
Vying For Toll Positions

In view of the waiving of formal requirements—that Is
training and experience—the State is anticipating an ac-
celerated influx of entries for toll collector, a $7,930 title.
The application barrier comes down March 22, with an

April 24 written exam on the
horizon.

Primary requirement revolves
sround having a valid State
driver's license, with evid-
ence of good character also a
necessity. Passing of medical
and physical standards, more-
over, leads to appointment by
your potential employer: Rock-
land or Westchester County.

The exam, candidates should
observe, will cover subject mat-
ter like clerical and change-
making accuracy, understanding
and interpreting written ma-
terial. Such tabular data can be
anticipated,

In brief, toll collectors check
vehicle classifications, toll re-
ceipts and handle various emer-
gencies on the road adjacent to
the booths. Collection of tolls on
bridges and highways 1s a basic
part of the responsibilities. The
East Hudson Parkway Authority
is expected to have similar va-
eancies and may differ slightly
in pay. The written test is slated
to be held in White Plains only.

‘Alert Men In 18-29 Age Bracket
To Recruiting For Firefighters

Metropolitan area recruitment continues in full swing for firefighter jobs, termed by
a recent National Safety Council study as “most hazardous” among all occupations. Never-
theless, because of the degree of challenge to be found in these jobs, the response has

been high.

‘Age range remains the same—
18 through 29—but height has
been reduced slightly to 5-foot-6
‘0 permit more men who can
meet the other physical require-
ments to be chosen. Demonstra-
tion of stamina and endurance
‘as well as evidence of good char-
acter, in addition to a high
school diploma, are the general
qualifications. There is no need
for experience to be appointed,

extensive training is provided.

Residence eligibility extends
beyond the five City boroughs
and includes persons who live
in Nassau, Putnam, Rockland,
Suffolk and Westchester. The
original filing period has been
broadened, allowing for candi-
dates to file through Aug. 31.

Situation On Salary
On entering service as a fire-
man, at present salary scales,
earn $9,499; three years of
mure brings you incrementally
$10,950 in pay plus the chance
compete on the next promo-
tional test for the rank of fire
Neutenant at $13,524. Contract
negotiations are now in progress
between the City and the Uni-
formed Firefighters Assn., and a
salary hike is expected to result
from these talks.

In addition to a written, mul-

“le-choice test, weighing 100,

qualifying medical and phy:
cal test will be administered.
Portions of that test will in-
clude agility, strength in dumb-
bell lifting, abdominal strength,
pectoral strength and a power
broad jump. “Candidates must
qualify in every one of these
sub-tests,” says the official ex-
am notice.

The written test, moreover, will
se questions on verbal ability,
Teading comprehension, City gov-
ernment and current events, sci-

entific and math aptitude. On
the medical test, candidates will
be rejected for “any deficiency,
abnormality or disease that tends
to impair health or usefulness.”
One opportunity will be given
for re-examination if a written
request is submitted.

Fullest details on medical and
other standards appear on the
Department of Personnel job
bulletins, available at 49 Thom-
as St., Manhattan, weekdays be-
tween 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. For the

Cite Pair Of Titles

Janitors: Many Pickings
Offered In State Service

The last day of collecting applications for various jani-
torial jobs, observes the State, will be March 22; moreover,
those filing will be able to compete on an April 22 test for

supervising and head janitor.

The first title pinpoints a re-
quirement of two years in care
and maintenance of buildings.
Offering $6,890-8,130, this post
allows high school graduation to
substitute for one year in the
experience ledger. Such items as
building cleaning, supervision,
operations and maintenance are
to be subjects stressed on the
written exam.

Head janitors will need three
years in care and maintenance
work, one of which must in-
clude supervisory functions. The
pay goes from $8,170 to $9,582
in annual increments. Candi-
dates for chief janitor, at $10,-
255-11,935, must produce two
years of background in supervis-

ing the cleaning “of a large
building complex.” Both these
titles will have questions on pre-
paring and interpreting written
material as well as covering the
areas noted for the supervising
janitor test.

Exam Bulletin No. 22-719,
which explains requirements for
the janitorial job group, can be
obtained at any regional office
of the State Department of Civil
Service by writing or phoning.
Locations of offices are Albany,
Buffalo, Syracuse and New York

A HEALTHY CONCERN

What is the state of health of your health insurance

policy?

When did you last look at your health insurance policy?
Over 160 million Americans have some form of health

insurance.

It sounds great.

But.

Why not set aside a night this week to read your health
insurance policy? Put the benefits listed in your policy
under the hot white light of today’s soaring medical
costs, today’s demand for medical services, today’s
complex medical procedures.,

However.

If you belong to H.LP.’s prepaid group practice health
care plan you do not have to worry about where you'll

get your medical care or how you'll pay for

under one “roof”, prepaid.

At H.I.P. we urge you to use your health insurance
plan coverage.

We urge you to seek preventive health care.
We urge you to bring your children to see their pedi-

atrician.

. It’s all

We urge you to seek medical attention before minor
aches and pains become chronic.

H.LP.’s prepaid group prac’

e means truly paid in

full medical, surgical, specialist and maternity care
for however long the medical need exists.

P.’s Social Services, Nutritional and Health Edu-

cation programs help you to use your medical bené-

fits wisely.

This is what tomorrow's medical care is all about.

This is why prepaid group practice health plans, such as
H.LP. are being talked about all over the country. Be-

Suffolk Chapter Will Accept

Fact-Finder’s Recommendation
Imholz Tells Cty. Legislature ,

County Executive’s refusal to accept a fact-finder’s report

Wilton Talks
Are A Farce

(Continued from Page 3)
haye come up. But, unfortunate-
ly, while the cat's away, the
mice will play.”

Richard McKeon, director of Lemoyne
College Institute of Industrial Relations, the prin-
cipal speaker at the annual banquet of the Syra-
cuse chapter, CSEA, gives the invocation while
Richard Cleary, chapter president, looks on.

The CSEA field representative
said that CSEA and the institu-
tion must reach agreement on
local-level negotiations by March
18 and that he told the Wilton
Officials that the CSEA team
would be willing to meet any
time, day or night, or on week
ends, but that Avery sald he
would only be able to meet to-
morrow (March 3) for an hout
and a half. “It’s apparent that
Mr. Avery and Mr. Foley haye
no intentions of negotiating
with us despite the fact that
they are mandated to under the
State-CSEA contract.”

McGraw further condemned
the Wilton officials for refusing
to allow CSEA regional super-
visor John D. Corcoran Jr. to
act as an observer during the
first session, despite the fact
that Corcoran had obtained per-
mission to sit in on the talks
from Mental Hygiene headquar-
ters in Albany.

“This amateurish approach
to employer-employee relations
will not be tolerated,” McGraw
concluded.

that could settle the contract
negotiations.

Imholz told the board CSEA
would accept the report’s recom-
mendation for pay boosts rang-
ing from 8.5 to 13.22 percent for
the County’s 8,000 employees and
other major new benefits.

County Executive H. Lee Den-
nison had rejected provision for
binding arbitration on a ninth-
step increment, which Imholz
said was already in effect for
some employees. Dennison also
rejected CSEA’s right to select
a carrier for a new dental in-
surance program, although Im-
holz said that that had been
agreed upon in earlier negotia~
tions.

The legislature is expected to
take up the questions at its next
meeting, March 9. It is up to the
legislative body to resolve the
dispute,

Where Tax Is Rex

A BEST-SELLER written by civil servants is at the top
of the list these days, eclipsing even “Love Story,” which
seems to be pushing the Bible as an all-time best-seller.

THE CIVIL SERVANT best-seller is the 160-page “Your

Federal Income Tax 1971 Edi-
tion.” At 75 cents, it is selling
better than hot dogs at an
amusement park.

OF COURSE, the subject mat-
ter of the civil service best-seller
is currently on the minds of
more than 100 million taxpayers,
and will be until the payment
deadline on April 15, 1971.

ON THAT DATE, Uncle Sam's
giant vacuum cleaner will scoop
up about $120 billion of our
hard-earned cash.

AS WE HAVE written many
times before, Federal tax col-
lection is the most efficient op-
eration of its kind in the world.

BUT THE CIVIL service best-
seller — officially designated as
Internal Revenue Service's Pub-
Meation 17—gives all individual
Federal taxpayers a better than
fighting chance to keep their
tax bill reasonably accurate.

CIVIL SERVICE authors—
anonymous, as usual—have done
@ superb writing job. In fact,
we must report that this best-
seller is better written than
many of the $5.95 to $10 best-
sellers on last Sunday's “N.Y.
Times” best-seller list.

ONE EXPLANATION is that
the civil service authors aim
primarily to be accurate and in-
formative, rather than literary.

IN WRITING clearly, suc-
cinctly and authoritatively, the
civil service authors give the
taxpayers an opportunity to ex-
plore every possible legal meth-
od of reducing their taxes.

IF DOUBT STILL exists in
the minds of any of our readers
of how good this civil service
best-seller is, let us tell you of
the greatest accolade that can
be given any book—plagiarism
and lots of it.

SINCE NO FEDERAL Gov-
ernment publication can be
copyrighted, “Your Federal In-
come Tax” is plagiarized as
quickly as it rolls off the huge
presses of the U.S. Government
Printing Office.

BY THE SIMPLE expedient of
putting on a new cover with
another title, then photograph-
ing the 160 printed pages for
offset reproduction, “Your Fed-
eral Income Tax,” suddenly be-
comes another book from a
private publisher at $2.50 to
$3.50 a copy.

OUR CIVIL SERVICE readers
are too intelligent to fall for
that plagiarism ploy.

PLAINTIFF moved for sum-
mary judgement. The defendant
argued that the agreement to
return was not in writing and
therefore not enforceable. The
court said, however, “There
is no valid defense to this ac-
tion.” Pursuant to section 1709
of the Education Law, the Board
had adopted rules and regula-
tions governing the granting of
leaves of absence with or with-
out pay. “Acceptance of the sal-
ary was acceptance of the con-
dition imposed. Since she did
not fulfill the condition, she
must refund the monies paid
her.” (Board of Education

Seek Nurses” Opinions
On Pending Legislation

ALBANY—Several bills that could revolutionize the
concept of nursing in New York State have been sub-
mitted to the State Legislature.

The Civil Service Employees Assn., which repre-
sents several hundred publicly employed nurses in
the State, but which did not submit the bills, has called
for a canvass of all nurses to determine whether nurses
want the Employees Association to throw its weight
behind the bills or oppose them.

CSEA collective bargaining specialist Bernard J. Ryan
said, “CSEA wants to know how the nurses feel about
each of these bills. We are asking the nurses who would
be affected by them to familiarize themselves with the
content of the bills and to let CSEA know whether they
want us to support or oppose each one.”

“CSEA will take a stand on each bill after we hear
the will of the majority of the nurses. Nurses are asked
to read carefully the following summaries of the new
bills and to fill out and return the accompanying ques-
tionnaire to Ryan, at CSEA Headquarters, 33 Elk St.,
Albany 12207, as soon as possible,” the CSEA aide said.

1. LAVERNE-PISANI BILL S. 191-8-A-2065, pro-
posed amendment to professions bill defining the prac-
tice of nursing—proposed definition:

“A, The practice of the profession of nursing is de-
fined as diagnosing and treating human responses to
actual or potential health problems through such serv-
ices as casefinding, health teaching, health counseling
and provision of care supportive or restorative of life
and well-being.

“B. The practice of nursing as a practical nurse is
defined as performing such tasks and responsibilities
within the framework of casefinding, health teaching,
health counseling and provision of supportive and re-
storative services as are delegated by the profession
of nursing.”

OPPOSE THIS BILL ——

2, LAVERNE-ET AL AND COOK-ET AL—350-A-359,
proposed revision pertaining to use of title (Sec. 6902,
Practice of Nursing and use of title “nurse” Or “prac-
tical nurse”’

“Only a person licensed or otherwise authorized
under this article shall practice nursing and only a
person licensed under sec. 60-904 shall use the title
“nurse” and only a person licensed under sec. 60-905
of this article shall use this title, “practical nurse.”

3. LAVERNE-PISANI BILL S. 1920-A, 2064, proposed

Sions:

for biennial registration shall be required to present
evidence of having participated in continuing education
approved by the respective professional societies.”

State OK’s Time For

Special Presidents
Meeting, Feb. 22

ALBANY — Chapter presi-
dents of the Civil Service
Employees Assn. who attend-
ed the special meeting of
CSEA chapter presidents in Al-
bany Feb. 22 will be allowed
time-off from their jobs for that
meeting without charge to their
accumulated leave credits, CSEA
Officials have announced.

President Theodore C. Wenzl
said that CSEA had obtained
permission from the Department
of Civil Service to allow the
presidents or their duly appoint-
ed proxies time off for necessary
travel time occurring during
working hours on Feb, 22, to a
maximum of four hour each way.
No overtime or compensatory
time off is to be approved.

Narcotics Control
Commission Pact
Suggestions Sought

ALBANY—State employees
who work in the Narcotics
Addiction Control Commis-
sion should submit their pro-
Posals for negotiations to the
Civil Service Employees Assn.,
CSEA leaders have announced.

Negotiations, between a CSEA
team and the NACC on items
affecting employees of NACC
will begin shortly, said Thomas
J. Linden, CSEA collective bar-
gaining specialist who will co-
ordinate the talks.

“All employees should send me
their proposals so our negotiating
team can make up its list of
demands for the talks,” Linden
said. “Remember, Statewide
items such as salary and retire-
ment will not be covered in these

negotiations. Instead, we will
concentrate on those problems
which affect NACC employees

exclusively.”

Suggestions should be sent to
Linden at CSEA Headquarters,
33 Elk St, Albany, N. ¥, 12307,

Explaining some of the difficulties with the State
austerity program is Robert Guild, left. Modera-
tor Thomas Delaney, the chapter president, is
controlling the questioning. e

‘No Thanks For Dedication’ —

(Continued from Page 1)
sitions to enter a new career
program in the therapy field
with the promises of advance-
ment, for specialized training and
personal satisfaction. Instead,
they were forced to take an
open competitive examination
for these positions without any
training whatsoever, and as a
result, many of us éailed.”

The spokesman also questioned
the validity of the examination,
saying it did not pertain to spe-
cific work they are involved in,
but concentrated on reading
comprehension, “You don't teach
a profoundly retarded child how
to exercise his unused muscles
through reading comprehension,
It requires love, dedication, pa-
tience and perseverance. You
don’t acquire these qualities by
passing an examination which is
geared toward testing our in-
tellectual capabilities or with
two years of college

Love And Affection

“Many cf these youngsters,
who have been patients at the
School for years, have never
known any family, care or af-
fection other than that which
they have received from these
dedicated employees who are
now being told they are no
longer wanted, These same

workers watched these children
admitted as hopelessly mentally
and physically retarded cases
and worked with them until they
were able to walk, talk, play,
write, tie their shoes and per-
form other functions never ex-
pected of them. It was thelr
love and affection and simple@
thines, such as taking the kids
to the School commissary and
buying them soda, cookies and
candy out of their own pocket,
that made these children re-
spond. The employees look back
with pride at the accomplish-
ments they made with ‘their
children’ while receiving pitiful
salaries and working under the™
most intolerable conditions.

“The Civil Service Department@
has boasted in recent years of
opening State employment to
minority groups through train-
ing and education programs and
career fields, What {s the De-
partment going to do about these
minority group employees at
Willowbrook who have been do-
ing the job right along at low
salaries without the benefit of
education and training pro-
grams? We seriously question.
whether the spirit and intent
of the Civil Service Law ts be-
ing applied in the case of these
employees,”
