many strong developments are oc-
curing on the veteran preference
front. Question: Will the Mitchell
bill, passed ov helmingly by the
State Legislature, also pass when
it reaches the polls in a referen-
dum? This bill would apply to
every public employee of the State,
every municipality, every county,
every village.

These events have occurred:

fore is the dact that it gives ad-

tentative key answers, considers
protests against thos answers

OK for Retired Workers

ALBANY, August 8—Under a
ew law passed by the 1949 Legis-
hture, retired employees may take
part-time public jobs, The new law

bound with many restrictions,
ind the State Civil Service Com-
fission this week outlined the
fonditions,

Under the Jaw (it’s Section 84-f
Mf the Civil Service Law) a re-
tired employee member of the
ate Retirement System may take
tmployment in any public job,
provided;

l—His retirement allowance
tovsn’t exceed $1500 a year;

2,—His temporary, part-time or
Heasonal employment does not ex-
teed $750 a year,

New Employment

Such temporary employment is
hot a “reinstatement” or “re-em~-
Ployment” in the service, but is
be treated as new employment.
having no reference to amy prior
Hob held in the public service.

‘The law was designed to enable
§ retired employee with a modest
‘etirement allowance to implement.
that allowance through temporary
‘mployment only where such em-
Dloyment might be available.

Such part-time employment may

not be authorized to a position
where there is an appropriate eli-
gible list (open-competitive, pro-
motion, or preferred) in existence
containing the names of eligibles
willing to accept temporary assign~

ments.
Can't Take Same Job

Employment of any retired em-
ployee in the same position from
which he had been retired will not
be authorized. Where an appoint-
ing officer desires to appoint a
retired employee to a position
carrying the same title as that
held immediately prior to retire-
ment, a statement must be sub-
mitted to the Civil Service De-
partment that the position is not
the same as that occupied by the
employee before he retired.

No Increment Credit

When the retired employee is
given employment under the new
law, he is to be paid the minimum
salary of the position and is to
receive no increment credit for
his prior service,

The applicant must possess the
minimum qualifications for the
position. He must file an applica-
tion with the Civil Service De-
partment and get approval before
he can take the job,

Of Maintenance Income Tax

nue_ruling was first announced:

“This ruling is discriminatory
in that it applies only to units of
government which have establish-
ed modern pay schedules and in
which the value of maintenance is
ascertained and deducted from
gross salary. Employees of State
and local units of government who
are not on salary schedules and
who receive cash compensation
plus maintenance of indefinite
value are not subject to the tax
if the maintenance is furnished for
the convenience of the employer.”

Association headquarters an-
nounced it seeks volunteers whose
names may be used in the pending
case, Required are (1) a physician
who has maintenance: (2) a house-~
father and housemother, who must.
reside on the grounds. Any per-
sons desiring to volunteer are re-
quested to communicate with As-
sociation headquarters, 8 Elk

THE DAY OF DECISION

THE ANNUAL election of oldcers and directors of the
Civil Service mployees Association is important to every,
member, It provides the democratic control of the Associa-
tion by the members of the Association, It puts the ollicers
in their proper place as trustees of your interests to serve
only during your pleasure. The member is the real kingpin
of the organization, His dominant position is safeguarded
by the Constitution,

The Nominating Committee has selected a slate that gives
the members a choice between candidates for many Asso-
ciation offiees and directorate, There will doubtless be a
greater area of choice, when the petitions are in.

Why You Should Vote

Why should you vote? There are many reasons, by voting,
you help select the best possible leaders for the coming year.
You do more, You make it possible for your officers really to
speak for you in their conferences with Administration
leaders and legislators. There is all the difference in the
world in the power and potency of a President backed by
the actual vote of 46,000 public employee members and the
same President or any officer elected by a minority vote of
the members. If you want results from your Association, you
must join or renew your membership, you must vote, and
you must do your part. You must take an active interests in
your chapter, in your conference, and in your Association,

You should vote because you owe it to yourself and to
your associates to vote out of office any persons who prove
incompetent or who betray their trust, and to vote into office
only persons you believe will be faithful, honest and efficient
servants of all the members of the Association.

I do not wish you to take my words as implying that the
slate of the Nominating Committee is not above reproach,
I am glad to testify that in my opinion they are all high
on the eligible list, They all have, I think, ability, interest
in the Association, patriotism in both the large and the
lesser sense, the will to work with others for common ends,
tact, grasp of essentials in complex situations, the power to
follow the main issue in spite of false leads and detours,
the ability to give and to take without loss of equanimity,
leadership and ability to express themselves with some
clarity and occasional brevity, Like Lord Stanley’s Daughters
and their Pirate lovers, all of them are noble and all of them
are lovely candidates. What I urge is that you take your pick,

Needed: Active Participants

Long experience has demonstrated the value of an Asso-
ciation that draws added strength from each of its members,
We receive many letters from people who think that they
buy certain benefits with their annual dues. What we need
is the realization that the Association is a big team of men
and women united to win better things both for ourselyes
and for,the others through constantly working together with
understanding and enthusiasm, We do not want spectators,
We need active participants.

ment as job security, promotion
opportunity, retirement income,
and liberal paid va jons and sick

evenings students. Competition
for such scholarships was open
to municipal employees, employ-
ees of industrial concerns and
State employees in the metro-
politan area.

‘The basis for selection, as stat-
ed by the University is twofold:
‘the nominee’s. personality and
capacity for leadership as evalu-
ated by his superiors and a com-
mittee of the faculty, and his
scores in a group of examinations
administered by the college.”

Each scholarship covers all tui-
tion costs (exclusive of laboratory

sonnel in the Division of Place-
ment & Unemployment Insur-
ance, to the Training Division,
for consideration, The names of
58 canddates from various de-
partments were transmitted, by
the Training Division, to New
York University for consideration.
Out of the group, Mr, Butler was

Volunteer Fireman
Training Course

While the voluteer firemen
throughout New York State scorn
the heat to study the latest in
fire hose layouts and pumper
operations, etc., the State Division
of Safety in Albany is already
blue-printing the next round in
the State Fire Training Program.

Thomas W. Ryan, Director of
the Division, which sponsors the
program in cooperation with local
officials and firemen, said today
that the second New York State
Fire Training Instructors’ Confer-
ence will be held in White Plains,
September 12-16.

Ultimate goal of the State-local
venture is training of the full
army of volunteer firemen in the
State, so that the most modern
fire prevention and fire fighting
skills will be available in every
community.

(Continued from Page 1)
New York State Legislature is a
criterion, the overwhelming res-
idue of strength lies on the side
of the Mitchell bill. But no fore-
casts can be made.

Embree Statement

William Dean Embree, chair-
man of the Citizens Committee
on Veterans Preference, revealed
that two strategy meetings of the
23 groups had already been held
to lay the groundwork for action
next fall,

Mr, Embree issued this state-
ment:

“The present absolute prefer-
ence is granted to a limited num-
\ber of veterans under a plan
which does not reflect the extent
or degree of military service at
]all fairly, and is discouraging to
jthe great body of veterans and
|non-veterans who would ordin-
arily seek governmental service
on basis of their training, exper-
ience and interest in puble ser-
| vice. Thus the civil service of New
York State and its subdivisions
is limited largely in recruitment
to a confparatively few veterans
who hold disability certificates
issued by the Federal Veterans
Administration, y

“Thousands of

pos-
and
thousands of youth graduating
each year from our colleges and
schools, as well as many depend-
ents of veterans, will doubtless
favor the new point preference
plan as fairer"in every way when
| compared to the present plan and
to that which will result in Janu-
ary 1951 if the new proposed
amendment is not adopted. Unless
the proposed amendment is adopt-
ed, non-disabled veterans will have
no preference after 1950. It- is
therefore of tyemendous import-
ance to the great majority of vet-
erans to seek approval of the new
amendment, 2

“The proposal in brief is to re-
place the absolute preference for
veterans holding at least a 10 per
cent disability certificate, with 10
points added to their passing mark
on original civil service examna-
tion and five points added on pro-
motion examination, and for non-
disabled veterans five points add-
ed to passing mark on original
civil service examinaton, apd two
and one-half points on promotion
examination, such preference to
be used once on either entrance
or promotion examination.

“I urge that citizens generally
veterans and non-veterans study
the new proposal fully. I believe
that such study will indicate that
this is the first opportunity the
people of the State have had to
approve a@ fair form of veterans
preference.”

Scheiberling Carried Ball

‘The burden of opposition to the
Mitchell bill at the American Le-
gion convention was carried by
Edward N. Scheiberling of Albany,
who has fought the bill from the
beginning. Mr. Scheiberling was
a minority of one in an American
Legion subcommittee which con-
sidered what stand to take on the
Mitchell bill. The remaining mem-
bers of that committee, after hear-
ing Legionnaires from all parts
of the State, submitted a report
favoring Legion support of the
measure. The executive committee

veterans

ATE AND COUN

oe cee

eo

of the organization, however, ac-
cepted Scheiberling’s minority re-
\port, and the action at the con-
vention resulted.

A number of Legion posts, in-
cluding 930, the largest in’ the
State, had come out in defense of
the Mitchell bill, It is now con-
sidered problematical whether
these posts will go all-out in op-
position to the measure they had
so vigorously defended. Certainly
much inner turmoil in Legion
ranks will be in the cards. Thus,

Hanley Addresses Legion

Lieutenant Governor Joe R.
Hanley addressed the convention, |
pleading that veterans be accorded
preferential treatment by_ State
and Federal governments. In ad-|
judging the attitude of the State
administration on the measure, it |
is significant to recall that Goy-
ernor Dewey personally endorsed
the bill when it was before the
Legislature.

While Scheiberling’s attacks on
the Mitchell bill were strong, no
strong specific arguments against

the measure were advanced. The
general principle against any re-
duction of veteran preference is
what motivated the action. It is
pointed out, however, that the
Mitchell bill does not represent a
reduction of preference so much
as a fairer ratio between disabled
and non-disabled veteran, and
non-veteran,
In Miinois

In the Mlinois situation, this
happened: Under the old law, all
veterans who passed State civil
service examinations were placed
at the top of the eligible list ahead
of all non-veterans. The law is
now amended to provide that
veterans are given 5 points in en-
trance exams if they pass. Dis-
abled vets get no additional pref-
erence. In promotion exams, vet-
erans were formerly given one
point for each six months of mili-
tary service up to 48 months, or a
possible total of 8 bonus points.
‘The new law restricts preference in
promotion exams to seven-tenths
of a point for each six months of
service up to 30 months, or a
possible total of 3% points. Pro-
motional preference is also re-
stricted by the following stipula-
tions: (1) promotion preference
is confined to those employees who
held regular civil service jobs prior
to entrance into service;
(2) employees eligible for promo-
tion preference can use that pref-
erence only once,

‘Th new Illinois policy, which
becomes effective September 1, was
supported by Governor Adlai
Stevenson, and had the endorse-
ment of veterans’ organizations.
The New York State Mitchell bill
is far more liberal to veterans:
both disabled and non-disabled,
than is the Illinois statute. The
New York State measure does
these things: (a) gives 10 points
to disabled veterans and 5 points
to non-disabled veterans on en-
trance examinations; (b) grants
5 points to disabled veterans and

Party Loyalty a
Basis for Public Jobs?

4 Des revelation which the New York Times carried on
page one last week, that political leaders had been the
chief source of provisional Assistant Interviewer appoint-
ments in the State Division of Placement and Unemploy-
ment Insurance, points up once again the necessity for
stronger watchfulness oyer administration of the merit
8) em.
2 he practice of making provisional and temporary ap-
pointments on the basis of party loyalty unfortunately has
been prevalent since the merit system was established; but
it is a moot question whether the practice has ever been
as widespread as it is today.
Rising Spoils System

In the case of the DPUI, the standard for job-seekers was
not “How competent are you to fill the position?” but,
only, “Have you a letter from a political leader?” Un-
the people of New York State awaken to the implica-
tions of the rising spoils system, they face a certain lowering
in the quality of public employment; they face a situation
where numbers of public employees are beholden to political
leaders rather than to the people who pay their salaries.

Two Types of Public Employment

We have two types of public employment in New York
State. The overwhelming number of public jobs is supposed
to be filled by the merit system, under the procedure in
which all who are qualified have an equal right to compete
and where the jobs go to the most fit. At the same time, a
limited number of jobs go to the political party in power.
Most — but not all — of these are policy-setting positions,
and are allocated to the party so.that the program on which
it has been elected may be carried out. That seems to be the
way in which our party system can best operate.

About Section 25

A special section was written into the Civil Service Law
— Section 25 — designed to eliminate political considera-
tions in appointment to public jobs. There is clear evidence
that this section has not been enforced ‘as assiduously as it
should be.

Even now there seems to be a curious divergence of
official opinion as to what should be done in cases like that
of the DPUI political hirings. One official of the State Civil
Service Department told The LEADER: “Our only authority
is to set up minimum qualifications and to see that pro-
visionals meet these qualifications. If they (officials of the
State Labor Department) nominate anybody for the job,
whether from a political clubhouse or from the gutter,
there is nothing we can do about it as long as the appointee
meets the qualifications. We don’t know how widespread the
practice of political appointments is, nor is it our job under
the law to look into this sort of thing.”

Another high-placed Civil Service Department function-
ary asserts, on the contrary, that “the State Commission has
law-enforcement duties, as witnessed by its constant in-
vestigations to see that local civil service jurisdictions
throughout the State hew to the line. Section 25 of the Civil
Service Law, which deals with the hiring of temporary as
well as permanent appointees, is quite explicit when it says
that “no appointment... shall be in any manner affected or
influenced by such (political) opinions or affiliations.”

‘Watchdog’ Is Needed

As one of the most important protections of the merit
system. Section 25 ought to be implemented by the addition
of a new “watchdog” unit within the Civil Service Depart-
ment for the purpose of helping enforce it; and a small
appropriation should be made to assure thé vigorous en-
forcement of this law in all departments and in all locali-
ties supervised by the State Civil Service Commission.

What Corsi Can Do

State Industy Commissioner Edward Corsi, in whose
department occurred the conditions d bed in the Times,
can perform a service to the public by taking two vital steps
immedi st, he should issue a directive to the per-
sonnel officials of his department, requiring full, unequivocal
enforcement of the law forbidding political appointments in
non-policy-making positions; second, he should have a study
made in his agency to determine how widespread such ap-
pointments are in the Labor Department.

new lease of life under an ex-
pert director.

The size of the staff has an im-
portant bearing on operation and
the badly understaffed Federal
Civil Service, particularly the
Second Regional Office (New York
and Northern New Jersey), adjusts
its policies sometimes with a keen
eye to avoiding too tremendous
overloads. Yet NYC suffers its
overloads,

The State conducts an efficient
civil service administration and
is the only one of the three that
engages in long-range planning of
examinations, the titles of which
it announces. It is also the only
one that issues reports on the
Progress of examinations. NYC
makes a fumbling effort, the U, 8.
no effort. Candidates are always
eager to know when an examina-
tion for which they’ve applied will
be held and, after it’s held, how
the rating is coming along, and
when the eligible list is expected.
Ask the Federal Civil Service such
questions and you'd think that
you were prying into the personal
and private affairs of somebody
you shouldn't dare address with-
out a dispensation from Provi-
dence,

NYC Best on Information

NYC tries hard, and succeeds
well, in giving information in gen-
eral, doesn’t consider inquirers a
nuisance, and has a full sense of
responsibility for making examina-
tions truly competitive. The State
is a close second on all these
scores, but the U. S. Civil Service
lags badly. It is unheard-of to re-
ceive notice from the U. S. Civil
Service Commission Second Re-
gional Office about the progress
of an examination. U. 8, rosters
of eligibles are a secret, never re-
leased, never offered for publica-
tion, although both the State and
NYC give out the eligible lists,
When a State list comes out,
it's in the appointment order, with
veteran preference effectuated, but
the NYC lists are in the order of
percentages only, so that one has
to apply the preference law him-
self, a trying job in the case of a
long list. The LEADER does that
reconstruction job itself, ‘and
alone publishes NYC eligible lists
in the order of prospective ap-
pointment.

U, S. Exams Tops

The Federal Civil Service is far
and away ahead of the others in
the quality of its examinations.
The State probably deserves sec-
ond place, with NYC not too far
back, although the gap between
them and the U. S. is tremen-
dous. Seldom ‘does one hear com-
plaints about the type of questions
asked in a Federal examination.
While you do not know what the
official answers are, and you can’t
get the information even if you
have a letter from your Congress-

they will do about it,

man, you know from the calibre

;of the examination paper as a
whole that men and women of su-
perior skill have applied their high
talents to the job, and feel satis-
fied. When the examination con-
cerns specialized fields, including
scientific, professional and techni-
cal ones, instead of backsliding, as
one might forgive as the difficulty
increases, the quality improves,

Another good point for the U. S.
Civil Service is the supplying of
sample examination questions and
answers, which is done normally
in large examinations, to give the
candidate an idea not only of the
type of examination he may ex-
pect, but also an opportunity to
brush up on the skill or skills in
which, from the test sheet, he
shows deficiency. This ‘service
takes effort and costs money, but
it shows how the U. S, Commission
goes to town on the academic level,
Succeeding here about as well as
it fails in public relations. Littie
praise is given for the excellence of
the U. S. examinations, especially
in the testing for technical jobs,
but plenty of squawks are heard
from candidates who can’t find
out the score when they try to turn
to the U. S. Commission for help,
NYC makes past examination
questions and answers public. The
State does not. a

Local Leeway

It is necessary to consider the
fact that U.S. Civil Service is ad-
ministered from the central office
in Washington, that there are 14
regional offices, each with a Di-
rector, and that within his own
jurisdiction the Director is given
considerable leeway. Since he is
or should be, conversant with lo-
cal conditions, his arguments will
prevail normally, even when speci-
fic permission from Washington is
necessary to proceed. Thus civil
service administration will vary,
as to quality, in the different

even from those of the central
office. For instance, advance no-
tices of examinations are custom-
arily given by the central office,
where the tests are for filling po-
sitions in Washington or vicinity,
or on a national scale, but the
Second Regional Office has a firm
policy of withholding such in-
formation until the examination
is actually open, and over a long
period of years has made only one
exception, by releasing meagre
advance notice of the Mail Hand-
ler examination, and then only
under pressure, The central office
should make the general policy of
giving advance notice obligatory
on the regional offices, which also
should publish examination re-
sults, even if only in summary, as
the central office does, If the Com-
mission in Washington is the
Policy-making body, its policies
should prevail, Sepecially when
they are more democratic. The

The list includes details of four|
senior c al positions just open-
ed by the New York State Civil]
Service Commission. These are |
Senior Clerk (Maintenance), Sen-|
ior Stenographer, Senior Stenog- |
rapher (Law), and Senior Typist
(Accounts).

And from the NYC Civil Service
Commission comes word that the
popular test for Clerk, Grade 2,
will probably be in the October
series, with the Examining Divi-
sion aiming to give the test itself
around the Christmas holidays.

Federal Tests
The tests in the Federal service,

to be open for a three-week period,
are for positions with starting
salaries of 84 and $2,498, in

the grades of CAF-2 and CAF:

Among the types of clerical
positions to be filled from this ex-
amination are: appointment, cor-
respondence, accounting, time,
leave, payroll, statistical, test rat-
ing, mail, file, information, proof-
ing, editorial, purchasing, and

| transportation rate.

The LEADER will publish com-
plete details, such as requirements,
dates, etc., as soon as the exami-
nation announcements are issued
by the United States Civil Service
Commission. Applications will be
| available at the Commission's New

York office, 641 Washington Street,
Manhattan, probably within the
next. week or two.

The Commission points out that
many non-status employees %e-
ceived probatior (permanent)
appointments as a result of the
earlier tests for clerk positions,
Persons who qualified under one of
the two announcements for clerk
need not apply againu nder the
new announcement as their eligi-
bility will be continued. A person
who has qualified for a CAF-1 or
CAF-2 job must take the coming
test if he wants to be considered
for a position in grade CAF-3,

(For State jobs see P. 4.)

Papers, not published on the same
date, the test is closed on the date
that the later one is published,
which shuts out the readers of
one paper and apprises most of
the readers of the other paper too
late for any except last-minute
filing, if that. While it is not al-
ways -easy to prove the object,
the repetition of the practice by
different Boards leaves little doubt
as to the subterfuge.

Short Notice Again

If a popular examination is to
be held, over which the regional
office exercises its own control,
and is therefore not itself victim-
ized by local Boards, the period
for receipt of applications will be
short anyway, as in the recent
Clerk-Carrier and Mail Handler
examinations. It will be so short
as to prevent fullest publicity for
the examination through the wid-
est circulated and most effective
means of recruitment. Yet the re-
sponse may be large. Tt is not
Possible wholly to escape publicity,

divided by the number of children,
if there are more than three.
Benefits to children cease at age
18, upon prior marriage, or are
continuous if the child is mentally
poets ae unable to support
self.

4. A lump sum benefit contain-
ing everything in the fund to his
credit, plus interest, in the event,
employee leaves no widow or chil-
dren,

May Have Beneficiary

Each employee under the plan
has an opportunity to name a
beneficiary for lump-sum settle-
ments. If he does not, the payment
will go to his administrator or
executor, in that order.

FBI and Treasury Enforcement
men may retire at 50 if they have
20 years of service, Their annuity
is then 2% of the average salary
Tor the five years immediately pre-
ceding retirement, multiplied by
the number of years of service,
not exceeding 30,

The period of service in the
armed forces may be counted with
the years worked in covered em-
ployment in calculating basic bene-
fits. Since the annuity is based on
the best five consecutive years
there is no arbitrary amount per
month at which military service
is credited.

although most notices are sent to
periodicals that don’t publish news
of civil service examinations, and
the bulletin boards of the regional
office and post offices can't be
seriously considered as adequate
notice. There should be no escape
from the two-weeks minimum
period adopted by both New York
State and NYC, not if one wants
to be proud of having served the
public well. The broader the re-
cruitment base, the better the type
of candidates, the only full oppor-
tunity to get the cream of the crop.
Having sufficient staff to cope with
these needs is indeed a part of the

problem, but a part that can be| ofr

solved,
exists.

Civil Service in all jurisdictions
tends to abdicate to private indus-
try its recruitment responsibilities,
for without the free publicity given
to examinations they would get
few candidates. When the U. S.
Commission needs candidates bad-
ly, it requests its own agents to
get all the free publicity it can
and there is no restricted period
for receipt of applications. «It
therefore mustn't play dukes and
drakes with its supporters, any
more than with the public at large,
and if officials feel hurt because
of attacks upon subterfuges, the

Analysis of Civil Service Administration

best. policy is to remedy the |
plorable conditions.
» Honesty Paramount

The honesty of civil service 4
ministration should always
above reproach. Holding mock
aminations, as tightly confined
a few as circumstances and y
permit, does not smack of hone
Nor does the. preparation of
examination paper consisting
questions, the answers to whi
are too familiar to incumber,
only, although the examination
open to the public; nor solicitig
questions from departments
fected, so that persons who m,
ings reap their rewards
finding their own questions in J
examination they take, as ha
pened in the past in NYC.

It would be well if each ch
service jurisdiction studied 4
methods and procedures of ij
two other Commissions, compar,
them with their own, adopted sug
improved practices they discoyy
discarded the bad ones und
which they themselves are wo]
ing, and leveled off to the gen
ally higher plane resulting fr
mutuality. But the three jurisaj
tions go their separate ways, har
ly paying any attention to of
another. The day for change is
hand.

FEDERAL NEWS

Postal Aims Get Strong Backing

two representatives of the
New York Federation of Post Of
ice Clerks—Patrick J. Fitzgerald
nd Frank A. Grippo—attended
ihe State Federation of Labor
convention in Syracuse. The 1,200
jclegates represented almost 2,-
900,000 members of the American
federation of Labor throughout
ine State and are deliberating on
ction to better the conditions of
bor in the coming year.

The postal representatives
ought support for legislation now
ending before the 81st Congress
jo benefit postal employees.

The role of the A. F. of L, in
postal legislation is today one of
top importance and Local 10 will
hus have the support of a very
powerful group, said Mr, Fitz
jerald.

Merit System Sought

Among the resolutions submit-
led by the postal clerks is one
calling for the establishment of a
merit system of promotion
nroughout the postal service. They
yecifically asked the convention
to endorse bill H.R. No. 5260, in-
troduced by Congressman Chris

uipervisory grades through written
xamination and length of service.
Also, they asked endorsement of
i. R. 4495, introduced by Congress
man George P, Miller, of Cali-
fornia, and recently brought before
ihe House through petition of
Co! sman John R. Walsh of
Indiana, This bill gives $150 sal-
y increase, the same vacation
nd sick leave as other Federal
rorkers get, longevity credits and

Arrangements for the 14th an-
ui installation dinner-dance-
entertainment of the J. L. Noonan
Post, American Legion, Depart-
f Marine and Aviation, were
ct.

The affair was held on Sat-
jisday, August 6, at Post Head-

rs, Slip 3, Whitehall Street,
:30 p.m,

Among the guests were Com-
missioner G, Joseph Minetti and
County Commander Paul J. Reu-
theiser and his staff.

The committee for the event
tonsisted of Robert S. Hunter, Ed-
ud Sloane, Dave Roache, Milton
Grey, Ed Donnelly, Vincenzo Pus-
0, Leo Pariser, and chairman

other benefits, Another resolution
calls for the abolition of those
restricting clauses of the Hatch
Act that Local 10 says, makes
Federal employees “secondary citi-
zens” in respect to selection and
support of political candidates.
Eye on Ives and Dulles

The need of calling to the at-
tention of New York Senators
Ives and Dulles to the totally in-
adequate provisions of S 1771, as
reported by the Senate Post Office
and Civil Service Committees,
which only provides for $100 sal
ary increase, was stressed. Origi-
nally this bill called for the simi-
lar benefits as contained in the
H.R. 4495. The convention asked
the Senators to restore it to its
original intent.

this end. There does not seem to
be any valid reason why a fixed
and uniform period for receipt
of applications ought not to be
set for all examinations,

Deficiencies

“This particular practice only
serves to spotlight the deficiencies
of the present Federal Civil Serv-
ice in any comparison with that
of New York City. At the risk of
repeating much that may already
disturb your sense of proper and
fairminded civil service policy and
practice, I should like to list a few
the procedures to which I take
private objection.

“1, Short filing periods for the
receipt of applications.

“2. The conducting and rating
of examinations by Boards of Civil
Service Examiners set up within
an Agency.

“As you know, these Boards are
actually composed of the personnel
of the individual agency desiring
to hold an exam to qualify its tem-
porary-indefinite employees. The
purpose of the test is to ‘reach’
these provisionals on the resulting
register for the conferring of’com-
petitive status. The objection I
make stems from the conducting
of @ so-called ‘open-competitive
exam which naturally attracts

tual vacancies’ to be filled, the

test being given to confer status
on provisionals; and second, where
this action fails (because incum-
bents may be too low on resulting
registers) the provisionals will be
Promoted from within so that no
use at all will be made of the final
eligible list.

“In addition, with regard to the
actual rating of papers by exam-
iners who are themselves agency
personnel, it is difficult to dis-
jcount the tendency to favor the
experience of provisionals actual-
ly performing the work.

“Finally, it does seem that, at
this late date, the needs of agen-
cles for personnel ought to have
been better anticipated by the
Preparation of suitable registers
on “an open-competitive basis so
that there would be no need for
the emploment of provisionals who
would later require a special ‘rig-
ged’ examination to confer sta-
tus on them,

Failure to Use Registers

“3. Failure to make any use at
all of open-competitive registers
for positions of Grade CAF-5 and
higher.

generally made on the well-recog-
nized and widely accepted princi-
ple of promotion from within, it
is not easy to understand why any
exams for positions of Grade CAF-
5 and higher are given-on @ so-
called ‘open-competitive’ basis
It does seem that the conduct of
such exams can only serve to in-
crease the burden of the Civil
Service Commission’s exmainers

U. S. Commission Asks

Uniform Job

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 — Ad-

mitting that there is a wide dis-
parity of pay for the same or
similar work, and that the mul-
tiplicity of pay statues makes for
confusion, the U.S. Civil Serv-
ice Commission asked the Con-
gress to adopt a new Federal pay
plan.
The Commission stood ready to
make recommendations as to the
number of grades, and the pay-
spreads between grades, to be es-
tablished by a uniform law cov-
ering all classification act em-
ployees and others, excepting the
postal service. It wants Congress
to enact grade mimimums and
maximums and let the Commis-
sion set pay within grades. The
Commission selection would be
based on job market conditions
at the time of hiring,

Wants Power to Enforce Rules

Also the Commission asked full
authority to establish rules that
would be standard for all execu-
tive departments and others, ex-
cepting the postal service, with
authority to compel enforcement.
The violation of U. 8. civil service
rules by some departments and
and agencies is an open secret.

‘The Commission, which looked
with disfavor at the recommenda-
tions of the committee headed by
ex-President Herbert Hoover,
which studied the U. 5. govern-
ment structure and made civil
service reform recommendations,
came out pointedly against the
main recommendations of the
committee. T h e Commission
wrote Chairman McClelland, of
the Senate Expenditures Commit~
tee, “that this question has not
been thought through.”

Transfer Promotions Opposed

The recommendation for an
inter-agency promotion program,
so that employees could be trans-
ferred to promotion jobs, was
frowned on by the Commission
as “an impossible administrative
task.”

But simplification of the effi-
ciency rating system, the Com-
mission agreed, should be at-

tempted, Scoometialed and all the
laws, rules
that suiject no now
should be repealed.
The Hoover committee's plan for
layoffs was disfavored by the
Commission as “too cumbersome
to be practicable.” The Hoover
group wanted employees analyzed,
with the poorest ones the first to
go, but the Commission wants
some regard paid to service dis-
abilities, whether incurred in mil-
Itary or civilian duty, tempering
of veteran retention preference so
as not to dislodge tried employees
of long years’ service and status,
and also wanted appointing officers
to have choice of the first five, in-
stead of the first three, on a
register of eligibles.

“Inasmuch as promotions are’

as well as to give rise to false
hopes to competitors. In view of
the remote possibility of any ‘out«
side’ appointments from such reg~
isters, there can only result a
lessening of public interest in
careers in civil service.

“Where there are agencies with
an interest in such registers for
appointive purposes, a real con-
tribution to Federal career service
could be made by the holding of a
‘promotion examination’ open to
federal employees so that the ‘wall’
between agencies might be broken
down,

“4, The practice holding
Junior Professional —_ Assistant
exams every year—thus denying to
all but the top dozen any oppor-
tunity for appointment.

“It would be of interest to have
a count of the actual number of
appointments made each year
from such

“5, The scheduling of written
exams during the summer months,

“It was my understanding the
Commission had already expressed
itself against this practice. But
the recent exam for Immigrant
Inspector does not bear this out.

Hiring Non-Status Workers

“6. The continuing practice of
hiring non-status employees (evi-
denced by the recurrent special
exams by agency boards of exams
iners) in the face of long lists
of qualified status employees who
have been .reduced in force’ and
are seeking reinstatement.

“Much of the foregoing would
appear to indicate that the Civil
Service Commision has abdicated
its chair. Rather than to mold
and shape a splendid Federal
Civil Service System in the in-
terest of Good Government and
Career Service, it appears to be
catering to the wishes of indi-
vidual agencies and their admin-
istrators. This does seem to be too
closely related to the long-dis-
carded spoils system, of another
era, and does not merit our silent
support,

‘Much to Be Done

“It was a pleasure to see you
take your stand against one of the
abuses demanding correction.
There is so much that remains
to be done in Federal Civil Serv-
ice as regards seniority rights, unt-
form displacement and reduction-
in-force regulations, appeals by
employees and eligibles, publica-
tion of eligible lists with an ef-
fort to indicate appointment pos-
sibilities, that only an active and
interested public support can as-
sure the gradual and progressive
attainment of the improved Fed-
eral Civil Service we all desire,"

mittee on

O'Dwyer’s Career and Salary plan
last week continued to cite in-
stances of inequities in their de-
partments

Nearly all agreed that those in-

equities must be wiped cut by re~
classification, but at the same
time a number continued the line
“Do it now!" and brought up ex-
trancous issue:

Civil Service Commission Presi-

dent Joseph A, McNamara, who
with Deputy Budget Director
Abraham D, Beame is listening to
the employees, remarked time and
again that those appeariag before
him larg failed to confine their
statements to the matter at hand,
and didn't understand the limited
scope of the hearings or the na-
ture of changes contemplated in

Couft Attendants are, accord-
ing to his comparison, the lowest-
paid in the United States. He
hoped that an examination for
Court Attendant would be held,
ad of some other list being
sf an appropriate one for

used
filling Court Attendant vacancies.

“There's nothing wrong with a|
Court Attendant’s job that a de-
cent salary wouldn't cure,” he
| asserted.

Joseph E. Keegan, of the In-
spector Union, submited a brief.
Idea is Approved Generally

At Priday’s session general ap-
proval of a reclassification project

was expressed by employees, A
| safeguard suggested was that no
titles should be assigned to jobs

that would deprive skilled and
semi-skilled laborers of benefits
they now enjoy under the Labor
Law, which requires that they re-
ceive the rate of wage prevailing
in private industry.

Budget Director Beame and Wil-
|liam FP, Shea, Chief Examiner of
the Bureau of the Budget, heard

ance in the Board of Estimate.
Project Approved

Eugene J. Murphy, president of
the Association of Inspectors of
School Buildings, said that the
City Administration has started
something that should have been
started years ago. He believed that
reclassification would bring less
benefits to the employees who
have been long in City service,
since they have fewer years before
retirement, but that for the others
it could bring about improvements.

Speaking on behalf of Heating,
Sanitary, Construction and Elec-
trical Inspectors, he said that the
pay scale of those they supervise
far exceeds that of the Inspectors,
another example of payment un-
der the Labor Law being higher.
The figures he gave were $5,040 as
compared with $3,670.

He complimented the committee
on its stated objectives (publish-
ed three weeks ago in The LEAD-
ER).

William J, McDonald, also of
the Association of Inspectors,
asked that the salary of Eric Keb-
bon, architect and superintendent

older, although they can perform
valuable services.

“I remember,” he said, “when
I was practicing law, and my
stenographer was on vacation, I
hired a fill-in, @ woman over 40,
She was very competent. I asked
her why she didn’t have a steady
job, She said nobody would hire
er because she was over 40.”

The opportunities for Stenog-
raphers and Typists, as well as for
office machine operators and wo-
men with other capacities, or even
those who may not have any spe-
cial skill but who could do clean-
ing work and the like, is good in
the NYC government, he believed.
Just now there are Cleaner and
Attendant lists, recently issued,
and used for replacing provision-
als, but his thoughts as to those
titles were long-range. As for
Stenographers and Typists, the
City needs good ones badly, and
the examination for such jobs is
continuously open (more or less),
with a break because applications
are being received for some large
examination, or because of the
summer vacation period,

“It is well for women who are on
the mature side to consider the job
opportunities offered by NYC,” he
advised.

Plan was a smoke screen?
“The answer to that is, No!”
ident McNamara assured him
he smoke screen he feared
was that skilled and semi-skilled
employees would fall victim to
title reclassification, as happened |
to others in the p: but Presi-|
dent McNamara gave assurances.

“The Labor Law still stands,
Mr. McNamara commented,

Welcomes Reclassification

“Eyery City employee welcomes
reclassification,” said Mr, Masuccl,
“and the upgrading of salaries, but
you should do it right here, now.”
| ‘The pay of Laborers in private
| industry—$13.62 a day with time
and a half for overtime above
|40 hours a week—was compared
by Louis Perrine, president of the
Richmond Laborers ‘Council, of the

| Forum, with $8.77 paid by the
Ci 48 hours, no extra pay for
| overtime. He said that of the

$2,650 City pay, the Laborer, after |
| pension and tax deductions, ha
| take-home pay of only $2,000 a
year, which he called “starvation
wages.” He asked that the City
do something to assist the Laborer
to live like a regular American
citizen, and not have to borrow
against his annuity account in the |
Retirement System, or make out-
side loans, and pay out $12 or so
every pay day, to take care of
only some debts.
Insurance Aspect

The speaker recounted that in-
surance agents know about the
plight of such City Laborers and |
|show up on the 15th and the!
30th of each month to collect
|premiums in industry insurance
| Policies, knowing that if they
| come a day late, the City Labor,
| paid the day before, won't have
| have enough money to keep his
insurance going. At food stores,
| where employees run up charge
| accounts for 2 week periods, they
|don't pay off the entire previous
| indebtedness, but let some of it
carry over for fourth weeks, for
lack of money, he ‘reported.

Mr. Beame asked him if he had
ever made application to have the
Laborer title paid under the
Labor Law, and the speaker an-
|swered in the negative.
| Mr. McNamara thought that the
value of the pension to the City
|employee, and the job security,
should be considered.
| “That may be,” said Mr, Per-
rine, “but what we're asking for
is enough money to live on now.”
