Final Call for Gala Ball

Come one—come all!

It’s final call.

For the Gala Ball.

Upstate and down,

To Albany town,

It's a high time for you

On May twenty-two.

The big Building Fund ball of
The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation is rolling to a brilliant
denouement, with employees and
officials from all parts of the State
planning to be present and par-
ticipate “in the fun,

The ball is the climax of the
drive by State employees to cre-
ate a fund for their own building,

They'vé succeeded, and on May
22, at the Albany Armory, they'll
celebrate the achievement with
square dance and rumba, with
fun and entertainment, and mu-
sic, music, music.

The music is Tony Pastor's,
and he'll be there with his o
chestra, from 9 pam, until 1 a.m.
Stubby Pastor will be with him;
so will the Clooney Sisters, and
Buddy James,

And you'll want to see who gets
the building fund awards — and
this is the night the announce-
ment will be made.

‘Tony Pastor is billed as “Amer-
ica's Foremost Song Stylist’
and his fans say that’s the tip,

Because the time left isn’t long,
Association headquarters urges all
who haven't quite made up their
minds to attend to make up their
minds fast — get your tickets.
Man, bring your girl or your wife,
And girls — get a date, or come
puetioe one, you're sure to have
‘un.

Come close, lads and gals, and
listen while we tell you the price
of admission, It’s less than the
cost of a dinner in town — only
$1.50, plus 30c take in taxes for
the Federal government.

So come, boys and girls, we
want to see you there. And in ad-
dition to huge enjoyment, you'll
be helping your Association.

NYC Commission Sets Its Policy
In Veteran Disability Cases

By MORTON ¥ARMON

Veterans with less than 10 per-
cent disability rating, appointed
or promoted on the basis of pri-
mary preference, will stay ap-
pointed or promoted. These are
eligibles who were given jobs
from lists prior to a decision about
eight months ago, by the Special
Term of the Supreme Court, hold-
ing that less than 10 per cent
disability rating did not entitle
a veteran to primary preference,
The Appellate Division upheld
that decision and the Court of
Appeals recently sustained the Ap-

pellate Division, H. Eliot Kaplan
was attorney for the successful
petitioners,

After the Supreme Court deci-
sion, rendered by Justice John E.
McGeehan, the NYC Civil Service
Commission acted on no claims
for primary preference based on a
disability rating of less than 10
per cent, the so-called zero per
cent disability. The Court of Ap-
peals decision was being awaited
meanwhile, When it came down,
action was taken — primary pref-
erence denied in all such cases,

Commission’s Stand

The Commission intends to

motions stand, principally because

would have been reached by this

ALBANY, May 17—Dr. Frank L,
Tolman last week went directly to
members of the Civil Service Em-
Pployees Association, urging them
to OK a proposal for a dues in-
crease,

In a letter to all Association
members, the organization's Presi-
dent summarized some of the As-

Sociation’a achievements, and
made the point that there is no
such thing as an organ’ ion’s

standing still. “If we cease to grow

on the eve of the Association's an-

22, urged members to inform their
local delegates of their opinion on
the dues question.

Dr. Tolman’s letter:

“Dear Member:

“T have long wanted to write a

UTICA, May 17—The Mid-State
Armory Employees Chapter, com-
posed of employees of the armor-
jes at Utica, Malone, Mohawk,
Ogdensburg, Oneonta, Rome, Sar-
anac Lake,

the Steuben Park Armory, Uti
followed by a dinner in the even-
ing attended by the various dele-
gates.

tive Representative of The Civil

than 120 chapters of the Associa-
tion

Byron A, Chrisman, Secretary, of
the Mid-State Armory Chapter,
arranged the meeting and dinner.
Seek Improved Job Practices
Great interest was expressed by
the delegates in obtaining appli-
cation of employment practices in
effect generally throughout civil
service. Mr. McDonough reviewed
the legislative efforts looking to-
ward a fair pay plan and other

improvements in employment
practices,
“The Association” he said, “is

aware of great improvement in
employment conditions in State
service as compared with those
prevailing in 1930. It is conscious,

George A. Drury, President, and |

| however, that there is lack of unl-
formity in applying merit system
principles in the case of some im-
portant groups of employees.

“Obviously the discrimination
ch now exists as to civil em-
s in the military branch of
government institutes a problem
which the authorities concerned
must face and solve fairly,

Should Enjoy More Rights

“The Association believes that
Armory employees and employees
junder the Adjutant General who
Jare not a direct part of the active
guard should enjoy the rights and
privileges as to recruitment, pro-
motion, security of tenure, sala-
ries, hours, es, vacations and
|holidays that apply to civil ser-
vice employees generally, The As-
sociation believes that these em-
ployees are so covered in Article
5 of the Constitution of the State.
The Association has called upon
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion to act to apply the constitu-
tional mandate.”

“The questions involved are di-
rectly related to the establishment
Jand development of a broad, en-
lightened labor relations policy in
State service and in the sub-divi-
sions of State government within
the constitutional provisions gov-

rite

problem confronting the Associa-
tion at this time.

“I have often addressed my col-
umn in The LEADER to you. I
had you particularly in mind
when I wrote about the ‘Case for
Higher Membership Dues’ in the
April 20th issue. The Headquart-
ers staff all contributed to a more
complete statement distributed to
Chapters and published in the is-
sue of Merit which will reach you
shortly, entitled ‘Dollars Don’t
Stretch.’ Bath articles concern
your future welfare as a public
employee,

“During the past few years
prices went up. Salaries, due to
our efforts went up and the cost
of running your Association went
higher and higher. We, have tried
to struggle along without any in-
crease in dues but have now reach-
ed the point where this is no Jong-
er possible.

Assn. Is Recognized Voice

“Your Association has accom-
plished a great deal for its mem-
bers—the retirement system, the
career law, the 40-hour week in
institutions, salary increases, over-
time pay, longer vacations, sick
leaves, reallocations of jobs, to
mention only a few. It has become
the recognized voice of all public
employees in the State. We wish
to continue this good work and
ask you to give careful considera-
tion to the proposed increase in
dues.

“Your continued coqperation
and support will give us greater
strength to accomplish the many
things that remain to be done.

More Awards Made by Merit Board

ALBANY, May 17 — A sugges-
tion made by an alert State em-
ployee will not only prevent fraud,
but will save the State of New
York approximately $1,200.

To minimize fraudulent entries
in claimants’ insurance booklets,
the officials of the Division
Placement and Unemployment In-
surance were considering the ad-
visability of procuring special date
stamps bearing the State seal, to
replace the common one then in
us The initial supply of this
special equipment would cost
about $1,600 and of course would
necessitate replacement from time
to time.

A Better Idea

J, Emery Lees, employed in the
New York office of the Division,
had a better idea, He proposed
that a distinctive color of stamp
ink, mixed to certain specifica-
tions, be used with the ordinary
type daters, thus eliminating the
necessity for the rather expensive

Killers Let Loose
Slay Patrolmen,

Keresman Declares

KINGSTON, May 17 — More
care must be exercised by admin-
istrators not to let dangerous
criminals loose, said Peter Keres-
man, Executive Secretary of the
N.Y. State Pclice Conference. He
added that the Conference favors
parole, but also extre care about
not letting potential killers go
free,

Mr. Keresman charged that in
almost every case where a police-
man is killed, it is through at-
tempted arrest of second, third
and even fourth offenders released
from confinement on parole,

“They are more dangerous to
arrest with each succeeding pa-
role,” he said, “and the “Annual
Bulletin of FBI, recently released
by Chief J. Edgar Hoover, shows
that 55 per cent of persons con~
victed Jast year had previous ar-
rests. The public should note this,
and realize their policemen daily
are engaged in a highly dangerous
job, for which the administration
of parole is largely responsible.”

The City, however, claimed that
since Brossoie was appointed after

bonus. The City refused to pay
him the higher salary, and the
chapter took the matter to court.

Entitled To It

claim, saying that if it were really
the intention to deny Brossoie the
20 percent bonus, it could have
beem done in the resolution ap-
pointing him, “It is therefore the
conclusion of the Court that the

mission conceded that competitive

[have held an exam for the posi-
tion if it hadn't been abolished by
the Board of Education.
Transparent Device

| “On these conceded facts,” Mr.
DeGraff argued, ‘it seems’ clear
that the action taken by the Board
of Edueation is nothing more than

an extremely transparent device to
avoid the requirements of the Con-

|stitution and the Civil

Law.”

|. It was pointed out that the
Board or Education's justification
for doing what it did was based

largely on an obsolete systein of
grades,

“But,” the legal brief argued,
“the continuance of an obsolete and
antiquated system of grades does

not confer power upon the Board
of Education to treat all positions
above $3,000 per annum as being
on the same level under the Civil
| Service Law.”
Doubled Salary

| The word “promotion” has al-
ways had two well-understood
meanings: (1) an increase in sal+

ary which brings the position into
a higher grade, or (2) the pevform-
ance of more responsible duties,
In Dr, Conboy’s case, it

as shown
that he actually was assigned to
more responsible duties, which
were reflected in his new ‘salary—
almost double what he had for-
merly received.

has been called remarkable for its

Court Deals a Blow
To Promotion Favoritism

HE DECISION of the Court of Appeals, in the case in-
volving the assignment of one of the Medical Examiners
of the NYC Board of Education to “be in charge of the
medical staff of the Board,” has far-reaching implications in
its relation to promotions in the civil service. It is the first

time since adoption of the civil service constitutional pro-| Co,

vision of 1894, providing for appointments and promotions
on a basis of merit and fitness after competitive examina-
tion, that the highest court of the State has ruled on what
constitutes a “promotion” outside of the regular graded po-
sitions.

In 1942, the Board of Education established the position
of Chief Medical Examiner and both the Board and the
Civil Service Commission agreed to fill it after competitive
examination. Because of war conditions the examination
was postponed and Dr. Conboy, who had been serving as
an Examining Physician at $4,000, was designated to serve
provisionally (temporarily) as Chief Medical Examiner at
$7,500. He served as such until June, 1946, when the Board,
confronted with the requirement for filling the position
permanently through a competitive examination, purported
to abolish the position of Chief Medical Examiner. The
Board reinstated Dr. Conboy to his old pogition of Exam-
ining Physician at $4,000. On the same day it assigned him
to be in charge of the medical staff of the Board, to perform
the identical duties he had been performing as Chief Medical
Examiner, and at the same salary of $7,500.

Effect Is to Prevent Evasions

appointment was attacked by the Civil Service Re-
ociation as an evasion of the State Constitution
and the civil service law. The Court of Appeals, overruling
the lower courts, held that where a position involves an
“advance in income and in professional responsibility and
prestige, it is certainly a ‘promotion’ in every fair sense
of that word’ as contemplated by the constitution and the
civil service law. The Civil Service Employees Association
ibmitted a brief to the Court of Appeals illustrating
ansparent’ nature of the action by the Board of

The ultimate effect of the decision in the Conboy case
is to prevent evasions of competition, either open-compet-
itive or promotion, in the higher professional, scientific,
technical and administrative positions where there is no
maximum salary limit (ungraded position). The practice
igning some favored employee to assume the duties
higher position with increased salary to avoid compet-
ive promotion will now be subject to judicial scrutiny.

For example, had the recent proposed bill in the Legis-
lature to authorize the NYC Fire Commissioner to select
any Deputy Fire Chief to act as Chief of Department,
without regard to the civil service rules, been adopted, the
Jaw would have been unconstitutional under the terms of
the Court of Appeals decision in the Conboy case:

The LEADER in an editorial, when the Appellate Divi-
sion rendered a decision upholding the Board of Education’s
action, pointed out the danger to the merit system and the
inconsistency with the constitution and emphasized the
soundness of Justice Bernard Shientag’s dissenting opinion.

How Valuable Is
Employee Organization?

Fetes HOW valuable is organization of public employees?
An excellent capsule case history is that of the em-
ployees in St, Lawrence County. That county has long been
behind most other counties of the State in the treatment
of employees.
Then they organized into The Civil Service Employees
Association,
Wy ithin a relatively few months, they —
Achieved a raise in pay;
z Gained entrance into the State Retirement System;
8. Won a legal case bringing up the salary of an em-
ployee who had been short-changed by the city of Ogdens-
burg.
The lesson to all unorganized public workers is clear.

Grover Whalen’s close friends
are talking about him as the sue-
cessor to NYC’s Mayor William

Dwyer. Only 5:, they're whisper-
ing (and it’s a very big if) the
Golden Jubilee is a huge success,
« » « Organization control is with
the Mayor, of course. In the event
he doesn’t seek re-clection, lead-
ing contender for that support is
B’klyn Borough President John
Cashmore, Col. John Bennett,
Council President Vincent Impel-
litteri, and Comptroller Lazarus

Joseph remain in the running,
too... . Charles Silver, a mil-
lionaire “textile executive and

friend of Jim Farley and O'Dwyer,
stands strong in business and po-
litical circles. . . . And certainly
don’t count out Surrogate William
Collins if he wants the job... .

The Manat Bioetia Court
nomination battle is hot. Supreme
Court Justice Valenti can be seen
with Tammany leaders daily after
leaving chambers, planning his
campaign... . Friends of James
x are completely organized, as
well as the backers of Supreme
Court Justice Lloyd Church... .
Other candidates: Municipal Court
Judge Benjamin Shalleck, whose
friends insist he'll fight through
the primary with a tremendous
amount of financial backing from
members of the Young Men’s
Philanthropic League. . . . Other
possibilities: Supreme Court Jus-
tice Thomas Corcoran; William
O’Shea; Col. Tom Boyle of the
Democratic State Committee; Su-
preme Court Justice Benedict
Dyneen. Only one who can secure
ALP support—which would in-
sure victory —is Supreme Court
Justice James McNally. There'll
be lots of scrapping and maneu-
vering between now and the mid-
dle of July. And Mayor O'Dwyer
will be right in the maneuver-
ing... .

Secretary of State Tom Curran
is sitting back hoping the Demo-
erats will embitter each other,
knock each other out in a pri-
mary, and thus let a GOP man
win the victory. In that case
Curran will take the nomination
himself. Also active for the GOP
nomination is ex-Supreme Court
Justice George Frankenthaler. . .

Merit

wus A. Paterno, Chair-

man of the Pension Commit-
tee, Uniformed Personnel, State
Department of Correction, feels
deep pride in his work as a Prison
Guard. He was appointed to the
cise Institution on April 3,

Mr: Paterno is at his best when
debating the pros and cons of civil
service, especially 25-year retire-
ment for Prison Guards. He be-
came interested in civil service in
1944 when he was elected Presi-
dent of the NYC Forum, Council
93, at Napancoh. Re-elected
in 1945, Mr. Paterno foresaw the
futility of two organizations at
his institution divided against
each other and took his member-
ship of Prison Guards over to
the Association of State Civil
Service Employees, as the present
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion was then called. In 1947, he
was elected President of the local
chapter. During his tenure of of-
fice the membership grew steadily
from 67 to 120. He is at present
the delegate for his chapter, which
now has more than 150 members.

Objective of Pension Committee

May 15, 1945 saw the formation
o fan organization at Napanoch
known as the Pension Committee,
Uniformed Personnel, State De-
partment of Correction, Mr. Pa-
terno was immediately elected
Chairman. The main objective of
this organization, which is now
statewide, is to further 25-year-
service retirement for Prison Of-
ficers. He has worked tirelessly
to achieve this aim.

“We have sent out 3,000 letters
to every State in the union and
to some of the provinces of Can-
ada to learn what sort of retire-"
ment system they have, in com-
parison to our own,” he said. “We
have conferred with many State
officials, from the Governor's Sec-
retary down: We have made many
trips to various parts of the State,
attended meetings at the Retire-
ment Bureau, spoken with the
Comptroller, and with his advice
had a survey made to determine
the cost of this legislation to the
State and to the employee.

Best-trained Prison Officers

“As yet, we have been unsuc-
cessful, but we have done much
to arouse the rest of the State into
recognizing the inequalities of our
retirement system, which is unjust
and sorely in need of liberaliza-
tion. Our fight for earlier retire-
ment is a MUST for the prison of-
ficer, whose job is more hazardous,
abnormal and nerve-racking than
that of any other law enforce-
ment body—barring none, The
New York State Department of
Correction has the finest program
of inmate rehabilitation and the
best trained Prison Officers in the
country, or perhaps in the world.
The public can be justly proud of
ithe splendid job being done in

WHAT EMPLOYEES
SHOULD KNOW ©

By THEODORE BECKER

UPERVISORS have a continual

obligation, in the public sery-
ice, to make periodic estimates
of the value of their subordinates’
services, sometimes known as serv-
ice record ratings. It has been sug-
gested that such supervisors are
themselyes subject to appraisal
by their own supervisors, hence
it would not be unbecoming for
them to engage in a bit of self-
evaluation, Such a process, if
wholly subjective, might easily re-
sult in a deceptively high rating.
Accordingly, when a set of stand-
ards, in the form of a checklist,
is prepared by a civil service
agency, as is true of the Civil
Service Commission of Flint,
Mich., supervisors should welcome
an opportunity to measure them-
Selves against the standards.

Below are 23 of these items,
slightly paraphrased, which can
be answered either Yes or No by
encircling the Y or the N,, The
rating schedule appears at the

recting your own paper and, pos-
sibly, pointing up some of your

Action Pledged
On U.S. Raises

By CHARLES SULLIVAN
WASHINGTON, May 17—U. S. employees are dis-
appointed and worried over the lack of action on Federal
pay increase bills. However, Republican leaders have ex-
plained that pressure of urgent bills involving national
preparedn and foreign aid necessitated postponement
of action, but without injuriously affecting the likelihood
of enactment
Joseph W. Martin, Jr., Speaker of the House, said that

Cong: may sit during the period between the end of
the Republican national convention and the opening of
the Democratic convention, to cope with the jam of bills,

would raise pay. He said that a
rating is being given to the pay bills.

ten test will be called for the med-
ical and physical tests.
Physicals Probably in September
The dates for the medical and
physical tests have not been set,
but the Medical-Physical Bureau,
of which Paul M. Brennan is Di-
rector, expects the medicals to
start the week of August 8 and
the physicals to be held in Sep-
tember. This is based on the as-
sumption that the medical and
physical tests for the combined
examination for Transit Patrol-
man, Bridge and Tunnel Officer
and Correction Officer will be held
ahead of those for Fireman.

(The offi medical and phys-
ical rules were published in the
March 2 and 9 issues)

The written test has a weight
of 50, and so has the physical
test, in which the pass mark is
also 70 per cent. The equal
weights mean that the written

and the physical count equally,
that the marks are averaged to
produce the final result, but a

minimum of 70 percent is re-
quired in each, For instance, a
mark of 68 percent in the written
test can not be averaged with
72 percent or higher in the phys-
1 test, to produce a minimum of
percent. The candidate, not
z attained 70 percent in the
, is not permitted to take
cal, and even if by error
» so permitted, he would
ed out later.

The med test is qualifying
y percentage marks. The
p is marked Qualified or

Not Qualified.
List of About 4.000

From the nature of the exam-
ination it is expected that the
eligible list will consist of about
4,000 names, These will be pub-
lished, in due course, by the Com-
mission in the order of relative
standing by percentages, but not
in the appointment order. The
LEADPR makes a practice of|

publishing NYC eligible lists in
the prospective appointment or-
der, by rearranging the list itself,
putting disabled veterans in the
top group, non-disabled veterans
next and non-veterans last. The
eligibles in each group are placed
in the order of their final average
percentages among themselves.

The veteran preference law will
afford primary preference to vet-
erans with a disability rating of
10 percent or more. Veterans with
zero percent disability rating, i.e.,
less than 10 percent, will be in-
cluded among the non-disabled
veterans. Those who served in the
armed forces during war are
granted preference, if they also
meet residence _ requiremen
‘Those who enlisted or were draft-
ed after September 2, 1945 are
not granted veteran preference,
because of a State law, which so
provides, but the law is being dis-
puted on constitutional grounds
in connection with other lists.
Whatever result will accrue from
that test will apply to other ex-
aminations, including the Fireman
test.

Reservations Specified

The official notice of examina-
tion set forth the following con-
cerning the medical and physical
tests:

“The competitive physical tests
will be designed to test competi-
tively the strength, agility, stam-
ina and endurance of candidates.

Medical examination may be
required prior to the physical test
and the Commission reserves the
right to exclude from the physical
test any candidate who is found
medically unfit.”

The medical test, in general,
relates to the condition of the or-
gans of the body. The physical
test is addressed to strength, agil
ity, ete, as stated in the quota-
tion from the examination no-
tice, above. One of the medical
requirements is 20/20 Snellen vi-
sion for each eye, separately,
without glasses.

The reservations could have an
effect in veteran disability cases,
as it sometimes happens that the
very disability on which a veteran
depends for getting high on the
list, is of a nature that excludes
him from the examination for
either medical or physical reasons.

The following high schools were
used for holding the examination,

By H. J, BERNARD

A policy on equivalent incre-
ments, granted to provisional em-
ployees, whereby they will keep the
increments when and if they're
appointed permanently from an
eligible list, has been agreed on
by the NYC administration. The
decision was made by Mayor Wil-
liam O'Dwyer after conferences
with Budget Director Thomas J.
Patterson.

The loudest outcry against any
possible denial of the benefit of
the increments earned through
two years or more of City service
came from provisional Social In-
vestigators in the Department of
Welfare. The fact that they would
keep their increments was pub-
lished several weeks ago in The
LEADER, when Mr. Patterson said
there never was any contrary in-
tention. Now the added news is
that the same policy applicable to
them will be made general.

New Entrants Problem
The question of whether or not
prospective City job entrants will
receive the $250 raise has not been
definitely settled yet, but the Bud-
get Director's office sees no pres-
ent probability of the raise being
granted to them. The City’s finan-

cial needs are cited by the Budget

Director's office. If, after the pro-
visionals’ equivalent increments
are included, and all voted raises
met, there’s any money left, the
raise would be given to new en-
trants in City service—those not
yet appointed.

‘Mr. Patterson smiled on reading
reports that the raises would be
granted and that the decision had
been made. His recommendations
are likely to be to the contrary, on
the ground of necessity, not
choice, one of his friends said.

“It’s hard to tell, until we have
made a canvass of all vacant jobs,
and find out what has to be done
to amend the civil service grades,”
Mr| Patterson declared. “In the
meantime I would be inclined to
say No to the raises being granted
to prospective entrants.”

Will Go the Limit

Mr. Patterson said that the in-
crements would be retained for
provisionals who get appointed
from eligible lists if they have a
minimum service record of two
years. He said that the policy of
recognizing the worth of the pro-
visionals’ experience and the fact
that they had filled a gap when
the City sorely needed their ser-

Excerpts From Notice
Excerpts from the examination
Notice, still of importance, follow.
Ages: The Administrative Code
provides that to qualify for mem-
bership in the Fire Department
a person shall have passed his
20th, but not his 29th, birthday on
the date of the filing of his appli-
cation,
However, Local Law 51 for the
year 1945 provides as follows: Any
person who heretofore and subse-
quent to July 1, 1940, entered or
hereafter, in time of war, shall
enter the active military or naval
service of the United States, or
the active service of the women’s
army corps, the women’s reserve
of the naval reserve or any simi-
Jar organization authorized by the
United States to serve with the
army or navy, shall be deemed to
meet such maximum age require-
ment if his actual age, less the pe-
tiod of such service, would meet
such maximum age requirements.

Also Chapter 590 of the laws of
1946, provides as follows: If maxi-
mum age requirements are estab-
lished by law, or rule or by action
of a civil service commission for
examination for, or for appoint-
ment or promotion to, any posi-
tion in the public service, the pe-
riod of military duty as hereinbe-
fore defined of a candilate or eli-
gible shall not be included in com-
puting the age of such candidate
or eligible for the purposes of such
examination or appointment or
promotion.

At the time of investigation, ap-
plicants will be required to submit
proof of date of birth by tran-
script of record of the Bureau of
Vital Statistics or other satisfac-
tory evidence. Any wilful material
misstatement will be cause for
disqualification.

At the date of filing applica-
tions, candidates must be citizens
of the United States and residents
of the State of New York. At the
time of appointment, candidates
must be citizens of the United
States and residents of the State
of New York. At the time of ap-
Pointment, candidates must com-
ply with that section of the Ade
ministrative Code which provides
that any office or position, com-

Grover

pensation for which is payable
solely or in part from the funds
of the City, shall be filled only by
a person who is a bona fide resi-
dent and dweller of the City for
at least three years immediately
Preceding appointment. Service
in the armed forces does not in-
terrupt residence.

Proof of good character will be
an absolute prerequisite to ap-
Pointment. In accordance with the
Provisions of the Administrative
Code, persons convicted of a fel-
ony are not eligible for positions
in the Uniformed Forces of the
Fire Department.

Applicants must be not less
than 5 feet 6% inches (bare feet)
in height and must approximate
normal weight for height.

Required vision—20/20 for each
eye, separately, without glasses.

Subjects and Weights: Written
test, weight 50, 70% required.

The competitive physical tests
will be designed to test competi-
tively the strength, agility, stami-
na, and endurance of candidates.
Candidates will take the physical
tests at their own risk of injury,
although the Commission will
make every effort to safeguard
them. Medical examination may
be required prior to the physical
test and the Commission reserves
the right to exclude from the
physical test any candidate who
is found medically unfit.

Medical and physical require-
ments as posted on the Commis-
sion’s Bulletin Board must be
met. Physical tests will be con-
ducted chiefly outdoors or in an
adequate indoor space, Specific
tests will be announced in The
City Record as soon as finally de-
termined.

Candidates may be rejected for
any deficiency, abnormality or
disease that tends to impair
health or usefulness, such as de-
fective vision, heart and lung dis-
eases, hernia, paralysis and de-
fective hearing, Persons must be
free from such physical or per-
sonal abnormalities or deformi-
ties as to speech and appearance
as would render their admission
to the service undesirable. Candi-
dates are warned to have teeth in
perfect condition at the time of
the medical examination. Defect-
ive teeth are cause for rejection.
Examination by a qualified den-
tist 1s a wise precaution in ad-
vance of this examination. Candi-
dates rejected medically will re-
ceive only two opportunities for
re-examination thereafter. All re-
mediable defects must be cleared
not later than six months from the

date of the publication of the list.

more or less voluntary compliance
on its part.

One Man Didn't Need Aid

The V.A. says that it can not
guarantee certificates of greater
recency than one year ago. In
some instances, of course, and al-
ways where a later medical or
physical examination was given,
the certificate does not turn out
to be that old.

An oddity is that No. 21 on the
Lieutenant promotion list would
be promoted on merit, regardless
of the aid of primary preference
he got.

State May Do the Same

ALBANY, May 17 — While the
State Civil Service Commission
has not yet decided what policy
it will follow in regard to veterans
with zero per cent disability rat-
ing who were appointed or pro-
moted prior to the Court of Ap-
peals decision, it was indicated
that the same policy would be fol-
lowed that the NYC Civil Service
Commission will use.

The State’s situation is a little
different than the NYC one, be-
cause for eight months NYC had
not been honoring zero per cent
disability as entitling a veteran to
primary preference, while the
State had been doing so up to the
time of the Court of Appeals

10 per cent or|decision, The State had a reason

—there was a court order against
it to that same effect in another
case.

The Commission will meet on
May 25, 26 and 27 and is expected
to take action on the preference
policy. Tf not, the final decision
will be made the following week.

ANSWERS PROTESTED IN ANNOUNCER EXAM

By F. X, CLANCY
The written examination for An-
nouncer, Grade 1, presented vex-
ing judgment questions. The ten-
tative key answers to some of
these have stirred candidates to

protest. Tight situations were de-
vised by the examiner who pre-
pared the questions

Horse players got a jolt from a

key answer that recommended the
description by an announcer, un-
versed in the improvement of the
breed, of a race which an expert
was supposed to broadcast but
couldn’t, because his throat sud-
denly went bad. The race hadn't
started, so it was not a” case of
jitters arising from a horse, on
which the announcer bet, having
been left at the post

The question concerned a gen-
eral oral portrayal of the scene—

clubhouse aristocrats, the ladies’
fashions, the crowd reactions | and

Best Bet is Among Four

The question:

“22. As an announcer, you are
doing color on a horse race broad-
cast. Your job is to set the scene.
and introduce an expert who will
call the race. Shortly after he
takes the air, the expert develops
throat difficulties and cannot con-
tinue. You yourself are not well
versed in horse racing. Under the
circumstances, the procedure you
should adopt is to (A) direct your
technician to pick up the public
address announcer’s description of
the events; (B) fill with general
color material, not including the
race, on the chance that your ex-
pert will recover sufficiently to
continue; (C) make an appropri-
ate apology and return to the
studio for a musical fill; (D) make
the most of a bad situation and
describe the events yourself.

The Commission is told by these
candidates that an announcer
“not well versed in horse racing”
shouldn't attempt to substitute for
an expert, when the listeners
have been led to expect horse news
from a man who knows the
horses, their sires, dams, jockeys,
weights, odds and past perform-
ances. The race is over in a jiffy,
even on a sloppy track, yet is the
feature that the audience wants
most to hear about, and in drama-
tie, accurate detail. Why disap-
point the audience, when it can
be well served by the calls of the
track announcer, picked up from
the public address system, of the
horses’ positions at the poles, and
the incidental, staccato descrip-
tion that accompanies the shifts
And the
drive down the back stretch, on
which decision often hangs—how
can the novice at racing cope with
the informed requirement of such
a tense situation? So goes the pro-
test.

Another Plight

The throat trouble suddenly suf-
fered by the racing expert was as
nothing compared to the dilemma
that marked the intended broad-
casting of a recorded eye-witness
description of the assassination of
Ghandi. What ill luck overtook
that program, do you suppose?
It was of a type as sudden and sur-

prising as the sorrowful twists
@ soap opera, but, fortunately not

interminable, like the others. Read

Service Commis- | on:

“35, You are announcing a spe-
cial news broadcast, which is to
feature a recording of an eye-
witness description of the assassi-
naton of Mahatma Ghandi. Your
introductory remarks point ip the
importance of this recording.
While you are reading the intro-
duction, you see the engineer in
the control-room waving franti-
cally. If, as you continue your in-
troduction, you see the engineer
holding up bits of a broken record,
you should (A) announce that this
recording is expected momentarily
and that, until such time as it is
available, you will continue with
news copy; later in the broadcast,
apologize for not having the re-
cord and say that it will not be
available because of technical di-
ficulties; (B) apologize for the
accident, explain it could happen
to anyone and then ad lib your
own description of the assassina-
tion with as much drama as possi-
ble, based on your knowledge of
what the eye-witness reporter saw;
(C) stop where you are and ask
your listeners’ indulgence while
you confer with the engineer to
verify the unavailability of the re-
cording arf@ quickly make a deci-
sion on the best way to continue
the program; (D) stop where you
are, explain what has happened
and apologize accordingly; then
fill out the period with news copy
concerning Ghandi; if copy is not
at hand, announce a recorded in-
terlude while you dash out for
copy.”

Key answer, D.

Protesting candidates think A is
the right answer, because an an-
nouncer just can’t go rushing
around in blind search for perti-

4 | ent substitute material. There's no

|likelihood of its existence in the
|studio, Even if he found some,
he'd have lost his breath and
|couldn’t announce properly. Also
|the audience that expected a news
|broadcast would be disappointed
to hear music instead.

| Objections are made principally
|to those key answers and.11 more
relating principally to judgment.
