The LEADER has been in-

to place the entire Federal ser-
vice on a uniform overtime plan

However, Mead nnd others who
are interested in the welfare of
I ral workers, don't want to
get caught short and they have
gone ahcad with hearings on the

Overtime Ends Oct, 1
On Thu y, October 1, the
Army and the Navy authority to
pay overtime to tens of thousands
of workers will expire, The per
diem workers in the Army arsen-
als end Navy yards won't be uf-
fected, but the salaried workers—
the architects, engincers, mes
sengers and file clerks—will no
longer be paid overtime after that
date unless Congress acts in the
meantim:
That's why Mead said he would
push to have the bill made retro-
active to October 1 if it passes
after that date. And he's sure
Il be if it comes to that,
However, Mend and others would
much prefer to see the entire
died in the Brown bill,
's what the Administration
is prepared to do in case the
Brown bill passes:
ay time-and-n-half after 40
hours to all employces paid up to
and including $2,900, and pay
overtime on $2,900 to all employ-
earning over that amount,
‘ull time-and-a-half, incidental-
Jy, would be paid, and not time-
and-n-twelfth as is now paid to
salaried workers. ‘This provision
ia important as it would increase
the carnings of the employees
now paid overtime.
Say F.D.R. Has the Power
The truth is that some legal
minds in the Government believe
the President has full authority
under his war powers to fix the
sclaries of Federal workers with-
out any new action by Congress.
On the other hand, the more
conservative attorneys’ believe
that the Congress must act before
tho salary of any Federal worker
an be re-ndjusted, These people
ay the President hasn’t the au-
thority under his war powers—but
you'll remember that the Presi-
dent said he had the authority to
fix private salaries and farm
prices in his recent anti-inflation
message and he merely asked
Congress to back him up—nor
would he have the authority un-
der the Brown bill to fix the sal-
avics of Federal workers,
The simple truth is that the en-
tire inflation issue is so confused
and so complex that no one—not
even the President himself—
knows what will be done or when,
“Hell-Raiser”
It's no secret that the practical
politicians are fearful of whit
may happen to the employee pay
raise bill if it is sent to Congress
new after an appeal by the Presi-
dent to fix wages and form
prices. ‘A bill that would raise
the salaries of Government em-
ployees,”’ a House leader told ‘Phe
LEADER, “would be a hell-raiser
and I doubt very much whether
we could get it through unless a
powerful amount of explaining 1s
done.”
‘The best strategy, some believe,
fs another resolution which would
extend the present overtime rates
for 2 short time.
On the other hand the Congress
is aware of the coming elections
and if the Federal workers would
write their Congressmen to ex-
plain their sad plight, it is pos-
sible that Congress will com>
across, The time to do that is
now and don't put if off for an-
other day!

Retain Employees
In Sheriff's Office,
council Is Asked
A bill authorizing the sheriff to
sppoint or retain without compe-
titive exam those employees now
temporarily employed or former-
jy employed in the sheriff's of-
fice at least four years was re-
ported out of the Civil Employees?
Committee of the City Council this
week. It will next be heard in
Council, which meets again
October 6,
‘The bill, according to its sponsor,
Councilman §, Samuel DiFalco, is
designed to reward efficient em-
ployees of the city “who have de-
yoted years of faithful service to
the department.” Justification of
the efficiency of many of these
individuals, said Mr, DiFalco, is
that Sheriff John J. McCloskey,
Jr, has not found it necessary to
wade through the veterans with
an “axe? and, in fact, has capital-
jzed upon their experience in as-
signing a number of them to the
job of tutoring newly hired per-
sonnel,
“There is no attempt being
made to favor older employees by
making it unnecessary for them
to take an exam," added Mr,
DiFaleo, “A number of them, of
course, wouldn't stand much
chance of passing a legalistic
form of exam but nevertheless
know their business and do com-
nt work.” He denied his biil
; "any political aspects.”
McCloskey Takes No Stand
When the sheriff's office was
newly set up under county reform
not many months ago, no provi-
sion was made for any but compe-
e employees, This bill is to
ify that situation, explained
Councilman DiFalco,
Sheriff McCloskey told The
LEADER he doesn't ‘‘care to
take any position as to the merits
of the bill,” that he did nothing
t it introduced,
‘The bill has been amended from
{ts original form which read at
least seven years employment in

four as a basis for appointment

Employee Negotiation Bill
Gathers Further Support
The City Council’s Committee
on Civil Employees will take up
on October 1 the advisability of
holding a public hearing on the
collective negotiation bill, The
LEADER learned this week.
‘The session is to be highlighted,
according to Councilman Louis P.
Goldberg, one of the sponsors of
the measure, by a request from
representatives of a number of
employce organizations in the
city that such a public hearing be
rapidly scheduled,
“The steadily rising sentiment
for this bill that would make it
mandatory for- city department
heads to talk over grievances
with employees will make itself
felt at this hearing,” predicted
Mr. Goldberg.
Provides for Conferences
The pill provides for nothing
further than conferences between
department heads and representa-
tives of their entployees’ own
choosing.
Additional Councilmanie opin-
fons were offered this week to
add endorsement to the bill,
Said Councilman Adam Clayton
Powell, Jr.: “I’m 100 percent for
the bill, It's a grand idea, It
ought to make for democratic,
fair minded rule in the city de-
partments.”’
Councilman Frederick Schick
declared: “I'm for the bill, of
course. It ought to work out
swell,”
Councilman William M. Mec-
Carthy, chairman of the Civil Em-
ployees’ Committee, said: “I in-
troduced a somewhat similar
measure about two years ago, pro-
viding that employees be repre-
sented by counsel as well as rep-
resentatives at hearings with de-
partment heads, The current bill
will have to be at least as good
as that to get my vote.” Obvious-
ly, the current bill is as effective,
according to popular sentiment.
Councilman Edward Vogel did
everything he could to evade the
issue all week long and wound
up succeeding in a great big way.
Councilman John M. Christen-
sen: ‘It sounds like a swell idea;
the way to do things efficiently
is to have employees and depart-
ment heads ‘iron out’ thelr griev-
ances,”
Councilman George E. Donovan,
of Queens: ‘I'd like to see a pub-
lic hearing on this bill. Yes, I'm
favorably disposed to it.
Other sponsors of the bill, aside
from Mr. Goldberg, are Council-
men Salvatore Ninfo and Gertrude
Weil Klein.
One Group Says ‘No’
Among employee organizations,
only one has come out publicly
against the bill,
George Torre, president of the
Association of Competitive Em-
ployees of the Department of
Sanitation, issued a public state-
ment this week in reply to the
opinion of Councilwoman Rita
Casey, which had appeared in The
LEADER.
‘Mrs. Casey,” remarked Torre,
“said that ‘I don't see why such
a man as Commissioner William
F. Carey doesn’t want to talk over
grievances with his employees in
the Sanitation Department.’
Where she gets her information
from I don't know, I do know
that since Commissioner Carey's
inception as head of the Depart-
ment of Sanitation, I can attest
that relations between his office
and my organization have been
very friendly, He has always
listened to any grievance that I
presented to him,
“Furthermore, a statement such
as the one made by Council-
Woman Casey, should have been
substantiated by rank and file
organizations of the department
before publication, In the eycs
of the public, her statement
places Commissioner Carey in the
position of a snob, which I and a
great many other organization
leaders of the department know
is not so,”
Feinstein for It
On the other hand, Henry Fein-
stein, president of the Federation
of Municipal Employees, came out
strongly in favor of the bill. Said
Feinstein: “Of course this is no
Wagner Act for civil service
bor. Nevertheless, it is obviously
a forward step in the field
of government labor relations, It
does mean that a truculent, hard-
headed department boss must sit
down and hear his employees. It
does mean that a worker who be-
longs to an organization unpopular
with the department head needn't
fear to breathe! This bill docsn't
use compulsion—it merely sa;
sit down and talk it over.
is little step is something
which has long been necessary, As
I see it, there isn’t much to argue
about with this bill, It only
writes into the law the simplest
human courtesies.""
Patrolman Appointments
Haven’t Come Through Yet
What,
ment?
No, not yet!
As The LEADER went to press,
the Civil Service Commission had
not as yet received any request
from the Police Department to
certify names from the recently-
established eligible list for patrol-
no patrolman appoint
man, Police Department.
Meanwhile, vacancies in the
ranks of patrolman continued to
mount, hitting a new high of
1,106 this week, This number of
vacancies does not include the
248 patrolmen, who, Inspector
John W. Sutter told Wednesday's
meeting of the International’ As-
sociation of Police Chiefs in an-
nual convention at the Hotel
Pennsylvania, are in military ser-
vice, These 248 men are not
carried on the rolls as vacancies
but are assigned to the Military
Service Bureau.
‘The 1,106 unfilled vacancies plus
the 248 patrolmen on military
service only emphasize the fact
that the city has a brand new
patrolman list on file in the Civil
service waiting to be used. The
fact that appointments would not
be made by October 1 has not be-
come a certainty,
Lest the patrolman eligibles give
up all hope, it can definitely be
said that the appointments will be
made sometime in October—most
likely in the latter part of the
month. More, next week.
Water Agency
Gets Gardeners
‘The assistant gardener eligible
list established by the Municipal
Civil Service Commission for em-
ployment outside the city limits
is finally being used—but not for
assistant gazdening,
Last week the Commission cer-
tified the names of the first fifty
eligibles on this list to the Board
of Water Supply to fill vacancies
as guards on the upstate aque-
ducts maintained by the Board.
The jobs pay $125 a month and
are of a temporary nature. The
temporary employment is expect-
ed to continue for the duration
of the war.
Previously, a number of eligible
lists, including those for sanita-
tion’ man, watchman attendant
and others were certified by the
Commission to the Board of Wa-
ter Supply for the upstate jobs.
Maintainer Men

‘Twelve eligibles on the list for

were certified by the Civil Ser-
vice Commission to the Board of

nent jobs at $.63 per hour and the
names of 28 lads were forwarded
for a number of temporary jobs

gible reached on the permanent
certification was number 355, for
the temporary jobs number 720.
Welfare’s Air Hero
Honored by Employees
A plaque was presented via
short wave radio last week to
Lieut, David Hirsch, of the United
States Air Force, now in Aus-
tralia, Hirsch, a ‘clerk in the
N. Y, C. Welfare Department,
was recently cited for heroism in
the air battle over the Solomon
Islands after he brought his Fly-

spite three bullet wounds and the
loss of his bombardier.
‘The presentation was made by
James V. King, acting secretary-
treasurer of the State, County and
Municipal Workers of America.
Hirsch was a member of the
union’ in civilian life. His par-
ents in Now York received the
plaque while the young lieutenant
listened in to the short-wave
broadcast from his Australian
base same 6,000 miles away. The
special broadcast was arranged
through the Labor Division of the
Office of War Information.
Hirsch had previously been noti-
fied by cable about the broadcast,

to know that we are all solidly in

commander-in-chief, Franklin D.

During the course of the broad-
cast, it was learned through
Hirsch’s sister that the young
lieutenant, prior to his recent ex-
ploits, had also been part of a
plane crew accredited with the
sinking of a Japanese submarine
in the northwest Pacific.
City Refuses Extra

Extra service rating credits will
not be assigned City employees

cision of the Civil Service Com-

McGoldrick
Comptroller Joseph D, McGold-

motion of three employees to im«

William R. Bradley, formerly,
chief inspector of the office, was

candidates appeared in the offices
of, or wrote to the Civil Service
Commission requesting changes in
the schools to which they were
assigned for the test, Candidates
from upper Bronx and Manhat-
tan complained that they had|
been assigned to schools in Brook-
lyn or Queens, Candidates in
Brooklyn and Queens said that
they were assigned to schools in
Manhattan and the Bronx.

Representatives of the Civil

In the office of the Chief Medical
Examiner, and the elevator oper:
ator list in the Department of
Hospitals,
‘Thirteen names on the Finance
Department, clerk, grade 2, list
were certified tor seven promo-
tions at $1,200 a year. Highest
number reached for certification
was 1,051. For three similar pro-
motions in the Law Department
the Commission certified eight
names up to number 933 on the
list. One eligible on the clerk,
grade 8, promotion list in the
Chief Medical Examiner's Office
was certified for that promotion,
To fill permanent and tempor.
ary jobs as elevator operators in
the Department of Hospitals, 50
names on the promotion list, up to
number 168, were certified by the
Commission, The yacancies pay
$720 a year with maintenance and
$960 a year without maintenance,
This same promotion list was
declared appropriate to fill yacan-
cies as watchman, grade 1, in the
als Department, ‘Twenty
cligibles up to number 168 were
certified for these jobs which pay
$600 a year with maintenance and
$840 without maintenance.
Asst Foremen Get
Higher Ratings
Slight upward changes in the
service rating assigned 57 eligibles
on the promotion list for assistant
foreman, Department of Sanita-
tion, were approved by the Civil
Service Commission at its meeting
Wednesday, September 23, The
changes will result in new marks
assigned record and seniority for
these candidates with consequent
changes in final averages. In many
cases, these changes will mean the
shifting of the candidates one or
two places higher on the promo-
tion list,
The changes were made because
credit for participation in in-
service training courses conducted
by the Bureau of Training of the
Civil Service Commission had not
been assigned to them. ‘The in-
service training courses attended
by the assistant foremen eligibles
were those entitled ‘Technical As-
pects of Sanitation Work” and
“Functions and Activities of the
Sanitation Department.”
The Ciyil Service ‘Commission
will revise the assistant foreman
promotion list in accordance with
these changes. The Commission
will notify the eligibles of their
changed averages and new stand-
ings in the near future, ~

Rumpus Over City’s Engineers
By MICHAEL SULLIVAN
Should maintenance ongineers
in the New York City Transit
System be reclassified in a special
Rapid Transit Service, to be set
up outside of the scope of the en-
gineering and architectural ser-
vice?
This was the subject of lively
debate between city officials, en-
gineering employees and represen-
tatives of civil service organiza-
tions at a spectal joint public
hearing of the State and Munici-
pal CivilsService Commissions in
the offices of the City Commis-
sion Thursday, September 24,
On opposing sides, speaking pro
and con were two veteran offi-
cials of the city government—John
H. Delaney, chairman of the
Board of Transportation and John
C, Reidel, chief engineer of the
Board of Estimate and member
af a special committee which
worked on the recently-effected
reclassifications in the engineer-
ing and architectural services.
Delaney's View
Grim, gray-haired Chairman De-
laney contended that the New
York City Transit System with
its 36,000 employees is a special
industry within the structure of
the city government, second only
to Education in size and speciali-
zation, He said that the knowl
edge, experience, and abilities of
the engineers required to operate
th city’s transit systems consti-
tute a “separate, unusual, neces-
sary, distinct engineering servi
not found in the type of wor
performed by engineers in the
other services.”
The construction engineers who
built the subways were competent
men in thelr own field, Delan
said, but they were not compe!
to operate a railroud,
that there was a vast difference
in building concrete boxes and in
operating railroad power or signal
systems. ‘The safety of the pub-

Welfare Dept.
‘The Department of Welfare has
withdrawn its order to place all
of its employees on a six-day
week and has decided to put into
effect a 514 day work week, The
new plan also increases the lunch
period to a full hour and reduces
the regular work-day by one-half
hour, A skeleton staff will hold
down the department offices on
Saturday afternoons, Each em-
ployee will have to work a full
Saturday probably once in each
seven or eight weeks,
Prior to the summer months,
when the staff worked on a
lighter schedule, the department
worked a full six-day week which
had been ordered by the Mayor
for all departments under his
jurisdiction, Two weeks ago,
Deputy Commissioner Arnstein
stated that this schedule would be
resumed on’ September 26th.
Despite some improvements in
the proposed six-day schedule, em-
ployees protested on the ground
that there was no justification for
city employees working more
than 40 hours a week without
overtime pay. The SCMWA
pointed out that this was the
labor policy of the national goy-
ernment in deciding disputes in
private industry. After several
conferences with union officials,

decided to withdraw its order and

Used Interchangeably
Since the department has

they will be used interchangeably
whenever efficiency er econo:
80 dictates, according to offici:
of the State Tax Department,
which the Motor Veiicie Bureau
and Motor Financial Respons'-
bility Bureau are part.
Originally there were 21 ad-
judicators, all of them provision-
als. Several have entered military
service. But the 21 original posi-
tions will be slashed anyway to
six because of curtailment in
auto driving and accidents and
because officials expect more
drastic gasoline rationing will re-
duce motor vehicle travel even
more.
Three Provisionals Passed
Only three of the 21 provision:
passed the statewide civil service
examination for adjudicator. The
test was the first in which the
State used the “flexible passing
mark’ tem to weed out in the
first if of the test all those
failing to make the highest rating
of the first 200, Harry I. Kutz
New Rochelle, Carlos Toan of
Perry and Joseph J. Schmitt of
Bata
were the only three pro-
s who passed,
of the Depart-
ment, with the aid of a represen-
tative of the Civil Service De-
partment, personally interviewed
every candidate for the provision-
al jobs, selecting only those they
thought could compete suc
ly in quent tests. But
the tests proved stiffer than an-
ticipated and the competition
keener,

Losing Its Men
ALBANY.—The thinning ranks
of the New York State Police lost
another this week with the retire-
ment of Sgt. James G. Welsh,
50, one of the few “originals”
who were left, The resignation
of Welsh reduces to 20 the num-
ber of men still remaining in the
trocpers who joined that organiza.
tion when it was founded in 1917.
Major John A. Warner, superin-
tendent, is one of the “originals.”
Welsh for the last 19 years had
been stationed with Troop B. He
was reputed to know “every cor-
ner of the north country.’*
Strength Way Down
The draft and voluntary elist-
ments have thinned the ranks of
the troopers to a point consider-
ably under their authorized
strength. So far as the existing
list of eligibles is concerned, it is
valueless, since practically all the
men on it are in the services,
Moreover some 400 men who
hadn’t completed their examina-
tions have gone into the Army or
Nav:
Since those on the list and those
who didn't complete their ex-
amination come first, no new list
is being contemplated. Indeed,
the State Police will welcome any
man who. can meet the most
minimum of qualifications — but
the appointment will be on a
strictly ‘for the duration only”
basis. If you're a good, healthy
specimen, of better-than-average
intelligence, and not in 1-A, it
won't harm you to write to State
Police Headquarters, Albany,

How to Improve

(Continued from Page Two)
we have set them down for the
first time as an open declaration
of our intent in handling the civ-
iiian personnel responsibilties of
our various jobs,
The statement says that from
the viewpoint of employees,
good personnel management in-
cludes the right of empioyees to
obtain and hold a job on the basis
of ability and performance with-
out discrimination or prejudicial
action, opportunity for advance-
ment both in money and in p
tion, adequate pay for services
rendered, recogntion as individ-

work performed, the policy stat-
ing that ‘there shall be like pay
for like work and positions in-
volving duties of equivalent diffi-
culty and responsibility shall be
allocated to equivalent salary
grades in accordance with Fed-
eral ls
May Join Union
Regarding employee organiza-
tion, the policy states that ‘“‘em-
ployees are considered free to
join or refrain from joining em-
ployee organizations or associa-
tions without interference, coer-
cion, restraint, or fears of dis-
crimination or reprisal because of
such membership or non-member-
ship.
“It is considered to be a right
of employees to present for con-
sideration matters in which they
are concerned affecting compen-
sation and conditions of employ-
ment, This right may be exer-
clsed individually or collectively
through committees of employees
selected by the employees them-
selves who are involved."

Hospital Attendant Spoke
Up, So She Faced Loss of Job
Sally Mann, a girl who works
at Creedmoor Hospital, spoke up.
This is what happened.
In 4 letter sent to Governor
Lehman last week, James V.
King, acting secretary-treasurer
of the SCMWA, charged Creed-
moor State Hospital ‘with “flag-
rant violation” of the executive
order of the Governor guarantec-
ing to State employees the right
of representation of their own
choosing when faced by disciplin-
ary action.
According to King, Superin
tendent Mills of Creedmoor State
has refused to permit the union
to represent Sally Mann at
a hearing at which she was re-
quired to answer charges of in-
subordination. Sally Mann several
weeks ago wrote a letter to the
Civil Service LEADER exposing the
poor quality of food served at this
State institution. The LEADER
published this letter.
Although there is no reference
to this letter in the charges of
insubordination filed aaginst Miss
Mann, the fact that her suspen-
sion took place a few weeks after
the publication of this letter, has
led union officials to wonder
whether a desire for retaliation
may have been behind the formal
charges.
Disputes Charges
In a brief prepared by Miss
Mann in answer to the charges
of insubordination, she disputes
the five counts enumerated by
Superintendent Mills and counter-
charges that she has been sub-
jected to “repeated threats of dis-
cipline and unwarranted brow-
beating.” She also asserted that
she was “being discriminated
against” because other employees
were not “bullied and harried as
was I.”
Three of the charges against
Miss Mann allege that she did not
arrange to take accrued vacation
time after being instructed to do
so by her superiors. The other
two charges are that Miss Mann
took an afternoon off without
permission and that she failed to
report to see one of the institu-
tions doctors on the day of her
suspension,
In his letter to Governor Leh-
man, King referred to a meeting
the Governor had with SCMWA
officials two months ago at which

time he was informed of the ra,
fusal by superintendents of Stats
institutions to meet with repro
sentatives of the union on individ,
ual grievances, The Governor at
that time advised the union that
he would look into this matter,
In view of the urgency of the
present Mann case, King asked
the Governor to “use your gocd
offices to correct what seems to
us to be a flagrant violation of
your announced policy in conn!
tion with the right of employees
to representation of their own
choosing."
Miss King has since been por
mitted to retain her job, and hay
been granted sick leave; but she'y
been fined eight days pay.

means wasted money. Wasted
money is wasted lives in wartime,

go toward War Bonds to help your

“Call Me Miracle Man” Kaiser
Gotham headquarters at 381
Fourth Avenue, Manhattan, near
East 27th Street, That's the re-
cruiting center for Kaiser's Port-
land shipyards spurring the war
effort,
They expect to be grabbing
every man who can tote a tool.
Only big provision: are you will-
ing to go to Oregon almost im-
™mediately? And are you willing
to leave your family here in the
meantime (unless you've got the
dough to pay its way)?
==-l¢ of experience 1s to be no
bar at all. In fact, here's the
way Thomas Murphy, hiring spe-
cialist for the Kaiser organization,
likes to put it:
“Tt they know one end of a
monkey - wrench from another,
we'll take 'em, And if they don’t,
we'll label each end.”
Here’s What They Want
Here's the order that came in at
the dawn of the past week-end to
unions and the U. S. Employment
Service headquarters in Manhat-
tan (the USES is the clearing
house for selecting unskilled per-
sonnel): wanted —an unlimited
number of skilled plumbers,
steamfitters, boilermakers, elec-
tricians, plasterers, carpenters,
steamfitters and painters at
$1.20 an hour, (They're to be
placed in appropriate jobs). Also,
5,000 helpers, all crafts, and just
as many laborers,
Employables must be in
good physical shape, 18 to 60 in
age, not have a 1-A draft classifi-
cation, and not be employed in a
war industry, Men above 36 with
families will find it easiest to be
hired,
They are offered a 40-hour week,
seven days a week, with every
eighth day off. This rotating sys-
tem is preserved until the seventh
week, when they get both Satur-
day and Sunday off.
Helpers are needed to aid clec-
tricians, boilermakers, shipfiiters,
welders and painters, and receive
95 cents an hour.
Laborers, sought for general
“Jaboring work,” are offered 88
cents an hour on the regular day
shift, 96 cents cn hour for the
“swing’ shift and $1 an hour for
the so-called “graveyard” or night
shift.
Overtime is allowed at time-
and-a-half and most of the work-
ers currently engaged in the
Kaiser West Coast jobs are work-
ing on a 48-hour a week basis.
Pays Your Fare
Recruits are advanced approxi-
mately $75 train fare by the
Kaiser organization to Kaiserville,
Ore., just outside Portland, and
are required to pay it back, start-
ing with a $7.50 payment the first
week. Withi: 20 days after start-
ing work, they must also join an
AFL Building Trades Union, Lo-
cal 296; Kaiser has a closed shop
agreement only with AFL unions
on the const. The initiation fee
is $25, So it’s not all ‘gravy’?
from the start.
Day’s Work for Day's Pay
But it's a wide open field and,
as Mr. Murphy points out, “All
we ask is that the boys have the
ability to do a day’s work for a
day's pay. Let them come with
an open mind; if they are in-
experienced, we'll teach them.
We've taught plenty so far."
Recruits are being sent out in
waves as soon as possible; the
first detachment has already left
New York by train, They are
asked not to bring their fam’lies
along unless they want to have
the people live in tents, The
workers themselves are being
crammed into barracks, some
sharing space with others,
Where to Report
Applicants from Manhattan,
Bronx and Queens must report
at -he USES offices at 44 Bast
23rd Street, Manhattan; those
from Brooklyn and Staten Is!and
at the USHS office on the eighth
floor of 205 Schermerhorn Street,
Brooklyn,
Cooperation of the Federal of-
fices of the USES has been an-
nounced by Monroe D. Dowling,
manager of tlre Building and Con-
struction Office of the USES, act-
ing jointly with Mrs, Anna M,
Rosenberg, Supervisor of Man-
power for Region Two.
Skilled Recruited by Unions
Skilled workers are being re-
cruited directly by the unions in
the metropolitan area. Men are
given referral cards and ‘shot
up” to the Kaiser headquarters
without delay, The Building
Trades group is being contacted
most urgently, But here as well
as elsewhere the unemployed are
being sought as recruits.
The hirings which began last
week were halted— apparently

The ‘Draft’ of
Federal Workers
EOPLE have been asking us what we think of the
P power granted the War Manpower Com: cn to
transfer Federal employees at will, without their
consent or the consent cf the agencies for which they
work, The order provides that Federal employees shall
be utilized where their ab es will serve best to further
the war effort, They may even be transferred to private
industry, though in this case their own consent would be
A survey by The LEADER'S Washington cor-
respondent indicates that the authorities plan to use
these vast new powers with circumspection. An appeals
board is being set up to hear the cases of employees who
may object to transfers. Every effort will be made to
keep femilie And the directive of the Man-
power Board prohibits the transfer of employees “beyond
reasonable commuting distances,”
It probably wasn't easy for President Roosevelt to
issue this ord It marks a revolutionary departure
from the system of free employment which we have
always accepted as part of our mode of life. And if
one may be permitted a bit of conjecture, it looks as
though this policy—placing Federal workers where they
will do most good in the war effort.-is but a prelude to
far wider application of the same procedure. Government
workers are in all probability participating in a crucible
of experiment.
What do we think about it? We think that it will
help win the war. We think that the nation is suf-
ficiently flexible to utilize its manpower to the best
possible purpose. We think this is part of the flowering

to this is the importance of getting the right man and the
right job together. The Army does it, as described last

the plan of “drafting” Federal workers as one design in the
pattern of fighting the war—and it makes us realize
that the pattern is larger than most of us know, a pat-
tern intelligently directed despite many minor weak-
nesses, a pattern for winning the struggle.
[ P.S,—Item of information: In the first two weeks
of operation, the new plan has evoked many queries from
Federal employees, but practically no complaints. ]
Commissioner Walsh
SureStartedSomething
LSEWHERE on this page, there appears an inter-
- view between Col. Arthur McDermott, chief of
New York City's Selective Service setup, and a
LEADER reporter. Significant in the course of that
interview is the fact that Col, McDermott was much less
ain, and much more circumspect, about the chances
of 3-A men in the draft than is Commissioner Walsh of
the Fire Department. The Commissioner has arbitrarily
refused jobs to 3-A men married after September 15,
1940, when the Selective Service law went into effect,
The LEADER learns that conversations are taking
place among the various officials involved to find a
solution to the problem which Commissioner Walsh has
posed, Whatever the solution, it must ‘not be at the
expense of the eligibles, And whatever the solution, it
must not be such that a precedent be set up for jimmying
the merit system at the whim of an official, Because if
an official can get away with this sort of thing, how-
ever great his need, what's the sense of having a Civil
Service Commissiow, holding exams, or pretending that
we have a set of protective civil service laws?

Sensation
Civil service sensation of the
year is in the making with Wel-
fare Department's private hunt for
the Nazi-minded individual who's
been defacing walls in Welfare
Office 26... Since the story was
first revealed in this column a
while back, the filthy anti-demo-
cratic smears continued to appear
. «+ So the Welfare Department
is checking the writing-on-the-
wall against the handwriting of
employees . .. Officials consider
it so serious that they intend to
push the probe until the culprit is
found... Rumors among some of
the higher-ups that the FBI has
been called in aren't true—yet
To Miss Emerson, who's adminis-
trator of the office, goes this col-
umn's merit award for her at-
tempts to inculcate the spirit of
democracy in her staff—a spirit
which couldn't penetrate the dirty
Nazi mind which poison-penned
its scum on gents’ room walls,

Thanks!
Sirs: Your recent four-page
publicity on the Postal Em-
ployees’ problem was very much
appreciated by the Woman's Aux-
iliary to the New York Federation
of Post Office Clerks, Although
this ‘Thank you’? is a little be-
lated, it is none the less sincere.
For the first time, New York-
ers got an accurate picture of the
problem facing their most faith-
ful Federal servants, No doubt,
your generous space allotment
contributed to the early introduc-
tion of two pieces of vemedial
legislation,
May we express our gratitude
once again for your interest.
Mrs, CHAS, SCHOENER,
Secretary, National
Women's Auxillary,
N. Y, Federation of
Post Office Clerks,
WE WENT UP to 1 East 44th
Street the other day to have a
talk with Col, Arthur V. Mc-
Dermott. Any individual who has
aword in the destinies of 1,008,126
men should be interesting copy,
we thought. Heading up the Se-
lective Service system in New
York City, is a job that we'd like
to know something about.
We discovered a sparkling,
ed genial Irishman, who talks
engagingly. We were somewhat
surprised to find a handsomer
man than we had expected (he
doesn’t look tough like his
photos), and somewhat slighter in
build. But ‘“Army'’ is stamped
all over Arthur McDermott: he
looks the part completely.
What shall we ask him? we
ruminated es we approached his
desk, just as every reporter
ruminates when approaching a
distinguished desk. We wanted to
learn something out of this inter~
view
“Colonel,"’ we began, I wonder
if you'd be kind enough to tell
us vome of your problems as head
of the Selective Service setup in
New York, We're constantly
hearing the other side—the prob-
lems of the registrant. And so
the public isn't always aware of
the difficulties besetting a job
such as yours.”
‘The Colonel smiled—an exceed-
ingly pleasant smile, “Well, may-
be I'm sticking my neck out,'’ he
scratched his chin, "but one of
our toughest problems is an emo-
tional one. These young fellows
in 1-A who get married, and then
they're wives maybe get preg-
nant, and then the boy gets a
call from his draft board. ‘The
girls come running here. ‘They
can't stand to lose their men.
It's tragic, it’s tough, and it hurts,
and there's nothing we can do
about it. The man and the girl
knew when they were getting
married that induction was im-
minent."”
Important Dates
We asked the Colonel if he
could give us some idea about the
dates which would control
whether a married man with de-
Tuesday, September 29, 1949
Merit Men
pendents could expect to be callea
within a fairly short period. Any
man who married before Septem,
ber 16, 1940, who has bona fide
dependents, will probably remain
in 3A or 8B for some time io
come, may never be called. The
same is true of men who married
between September 16, 1940 anq
prior to May 27, 1941, provided
that they hadn’t received their
selective service questionnaires in
the meantime and have wives
who are really dependent on
them, Men over 28, who werg
married before December 7, also
have a fairly good chante to stay
out, The gulding principle seems
to be this: Did the man marry
when his induction was immi.
nent? At the time he married,
did he have reason to believe ha
would be called to service?
You might be interested in what
those dates mean. December 7
you know. May 27, 1941, was tho
date the President declared tho
existence of a national emergency,
September 16, 1940, js the date
the Selective Service law went ins
to effect.
Occupational Deferments
Another headache with which
McDermott must cope is occupa,
tional deferments. More and
more, as the Army's call for men
grows heavier, Selective Service
must pull draft-age males out ot
the factories, ‘Industry is un
willing or unable to realize that
they must replace the younger
men with those over 45, We
done everything—we have written
to the personnel men of the fac:
torias, we have confronted them
with the whole problem—but so
far we haven't had the coopers
tion we should, ‘This despite ho
fact that jn most cases the older
man will do just as good a job-
and in some cases a damn sizht
better!”. McDermott feels that
draft-age men who are semi
skilled or have taken short
periods of training and then got
war jobs shouldn't expect defer-
ments. Says he: “Industry can
take substitutes for its young
men. The Army can't.” He also
favors the greater use of women
in industry.
‘The Aliens
Still another headache 4s the
problem of classifying the large
New York alien population. An
elaborate procedure has been set
up to determine whether an alien
is from an allied nation, a bel
ligerent nation, a co-belligerent
nation, a neutral nation, or 1
enemy nation, And of course a1
individual from an enemy nation
may be a great friend of der
racy and might wish to enlist
And the status of nations chanst
as the war continues, ‘This is tha
realm of ticklish legal questions.
“A citizen of Cuba wishes to join
the Army, Shall we permit hint
to do so? What if Cuba thea
calls him for her own forces?”
“Raiding”?
One of the minor problens
might best be described as ‘rails
ing.” The Navy, for example
takes a man who has been class!
fied in 1-A, and his draft board
doesn't know about ~it. Some

man who joined the Nav:
was then rejected because
didn't quite meet the high physi-
cal standards that prevail. Now
he's sitting around and his draft
board just gnashes its tecth be-
cause of a law which says that
once a man has entered the serv-
ice and been disqualified for phy-
sical reasons, he is released from
the operations of selective service.
Another case is that of a young
man who joined the Army Air
Forces, and js now doing nothing
because he must wait around un-
til August, 1943, when they'll be
able to place him. Meanwhile his
draft board sweats away trying
to meet its quota.
McDermott thinks a lot of these
minor problems would be solved
by banning direct enlistments al-
together and servicing all the
forces through selective service.
He also believes that 18 and 19-
year-olds should be drafted.

From 1-A to Induction
This Article Gives You Detailed Answers to Your Questions
What happens from the moment
a man is classified 1-A until he is
inducted? Can the registrant get
a little more time if he needs it?
Just how does the whole process
work
Let us start at the point
where our registrant has already
en classified 1-A, and has al-
ready been ordered to report for
induction. The time specified for
reporting will be at least ten days
after the mailing of the notice
which tells the man to report.
Suppose the registrant has a
death in his immediate family,
or falls seriously ill himself,
after he receives his notice to
report for induction, In cases of
imperative necessity, the local
board may postpone the time
when a registrant reports for in-
duction for a period not to exceed
60 days, ‘This period be
terminated before the date of ex=
piration if the local board de-
cides to do so.
It should be understood that the
local bonrd will be very hesitant
in granting such extensions, and
will do so only when an emer-
gency arises which is beyond the
control of the registrant,
If You Want to Volunteer
Suppose, however, that before
he gets his notice to report for
induction, our registrant decides
to volunteer, He goes to his local
board to signify his intention,
and, if he is under 21 years of
age, brings with him the consent
of his parents or guardian in
writing, Had he been deferred for
dependency instead of being
classified in 1-A, he would also
have had to bring waivers of de-
pendency from all his dependents
over 18 years of age. Had our
registrant not been classified
when he decided to volunteer, the
local board would have sent him
his questionnaire immediately,
and would have classified him at
once. The draft board dosn't
ordinarily let a man volunteer
who, upon the basis of his
questionnaire, is put in a deferred
classification, However, some of
the services do take on men us
volunteers without regard to the
draft board,
Arriving for Induction
When our typical registrant ar-
rives at his local board at the
time set for his induction, he will
find other inductees who are go-
ing to accompany him to the in-
duction station at Governors
Island, First, the local board
calls the roll of selected men,
Then, after having considered
each man's age, experience,
character and personality, the
local board designates one to be
the leader and one or more to
be assistant leaders of the group.
To the lender, the local board
turns over the transportation
tickets and the records for the
induction station, It is his job to

and the acquiring of the necessary
degree of training, qualification,
or skill,”
‘A post-graduate student who is
undertaking further studies in the
fields listed above may be granted
deferment, but only it he is doing
“graduate assistant” work while
taking his advanced degree.
Naval Reserve,
‘The second class of deferments
comes to those students who, while
pursuing their courses of study,
sign up in one of the reserve plans
made available by the Army and
Navy,
Let us look first at the Navy’
V-l, V-5, and V-7 plans, V-l is a
plan through which college fresh-
men and sopnomores, and even
high schoo} graduates planning to
go to college, sign up in the Naval
Reserve and continue their studies
until the end of the sophomore
year, Men signed up in the Naval
R e are no longer subject to
the draft, At the end of the sopho-
more year, they enter either V-5,
which is Navy Aviation, or V-7,
which prepares one for deck or
engineering duties, In some cai
a V-7 candidate may remain and
finish his entire college course
before being called to active duty
They receive Ensign commissions.
A number of colleges have units
of the Naval ROTC, and students
joining these units may be per-
mitted to complete their college
course, after which they will be
given active duty as Hnsigns
However, they must be prepared
for active duty at the end of their
second year if conditions demand,
Army Reserve,
The Army has three
plans which will keep the student
in college ,until the end of the
present academic year, or in some
cases for the entire four years of
college, These plans are:
a, Enlisted Reserve Corps — For
men who will stay in college and
acquire special knowledge which
is of importance to the Army.
b. Reserve Officers ‘Training
Corps—Training in military sel-
ence and tactics as part cf the
college education, leading to a
commission in the Officers’ Re-
serve Corps of the Army,
c, Army Air Forces Cadet Pro-
gram—Here men are accepted for
enlistment who do not expect to
continue their education beyond
the present year,
‘All colleges now have full de-
tails on these yarious plans which
are available to students,
Another plan of deferment, pre-
viously described in The LEADER,
is Signal Corps training. In this
case, the student enters a school
giving special radio courses ap-
proved by the Signal Corps, and
remains in the Reserve until he
finishes the course, lasting up to
eight months, after which he goes
into the Signal Corps as a private.
In forthcoming issues, these re-
serve plans will be’ discussed in
detail.

look after these and to see that
the men get there. To that end,
the inductees are specifically
ordered to obey the leader and
assistant leaders, their first taste
of Army discipline,
1-C or 4-F
At the induction station, all in-
ductees are given a thorough
physical examination, Those found
acceptable are inducted into the
Army when they take the oath of
allegiance, Those who are not ac-
ceptabie, are told so, and the re«
port of their physical examina+
tion is returned to their local
boards, so that they can be ree
classified, Those found acceptable
are classified in 1-C, Those found
not acceptable are classified in
4-F, as being physically, mentally
or otherwise disqualified for any
kind of military service, Formerly,
those with minor physical defects
wore placed in 1-B as qualified
for limited military service, but
that class has been done away
with and all those who are now
in 1-8 are to be reclassified,
either in 1-A or in 4-F,
Furlough,
When our typical
finds himself at the induction
station, he can apply for # four:
teen-day furlough to take placo
divectly after induction, if he
needs that extra time, when he is
certain he is going off to camp,
to wind up his civilian affairs.
‘This system has been set up so
that no registrant will be com+
polled to give up his job or sel
his business unless he knows that
he has passed his physical ex+
amination, While fourteen days

it may be extended or
shortened 1 or 2 days, in order
to avoid travel on Sunday cr a

well for our typical registrant to
check with the local board severat
days before his furlough is up, it
he has not received his notice to
report for the trip to the Recep-
tion Center, When he tales the
oath of allegiance, he becomes a
member of the Armed Forces anit
is placed in the Enlisted Rescrves
until he is called for active duty
at the end of his furlough. Asa

What happens to New York
City employees who are dismissed
from their jobs because of budget
reductions and placed on preferred
of Anna V, McKenna,
t,, Brooklyn, is typical.
On July 1, Anna McKenna, a
widow with one child, was dis-
missed from her job as attendant
in the office of the Borough
President of Brooklyn because of
the administration's budget slash-
ings. Her salary at the time of
dismissal—after five years of serv-
in the Brooklyn Borough
sident’s office--was $1,799.99 a
top salary for her grade,
. week the Civil Service
Commission certified the name of
Anna V. McKenna from the pre-
ferred list of attendant (female)
to three city departments for em-
ployment. First certification was
to the Park Department for a
temporary job, not to exceed two
months, as attendant at the pay
rate of $4 a day or 50 cents an
hour, The second certification
was to the office of the Sheriff
for a permanent job as a cleaner,
The salary—$840 a year.
Just as The LEADER went to
press, it was learned that Mra.
McKenna was certified to a job
at least within her grade. The
job for which the preferred list
of attendant, female, was de-
clared appropriate was that of a
cleaner in Brooklyn College ‘at
$1,200 a year.
