Mead Plans 20% Increase
On Salaries Under $2,900
WASHINGTON—A new comp-
romise plan of Government pay
adjustments was presented here
this week after Senate opponents
sueceeded in shelving the Admin-
istration’s overtime pay bill.
The new plan, worked out joint-
ly by Senator James Mead (D.,
N. Y.) and Representative Robert
Ramspeck (D., Ga.) was present-
ed to the Senate in the form of
a bill carrying Sen, Mead’s signa-
ture, Here are its principal pro-
visions:
1, Overtime pay now given to
thousands of white-collar employ-
ees of War and Navy departments
and Maritime Commission—main-
ly those outside of Washington—
would be abolished, [See article
relating to subject on this page.j
2. In its place, these employees
would get a 20 percent increase on
the first $2,900 of their basic an-
nual salary—but no increase on
salary above $2,900.
8, Other Government employees,
including all those not receiving
any overtime pay whatever, like-
wise would get 20 percent on the
first $2,900 of their incomes,
48-Hour Week
4, The present law prohibiting
Saturday afternoon work would
be abolished, thereby permitting
Federal agencies to work a full
six-day, 48-hour week, wherever
they see fit.
5, The 48-hour week would not,
however, be made mandatory,
Length of the work week would
be left to the discretion of agency
heads,

eral groups that could not possibly
work hours longer than at pres-
ent, would get the s!
Two Days Off,
All in One Piece
WASHINGTON.—Reports
current here th’s week said
the Civil Service Commission
may sponsor a plar to guaran-
tee Federal workers—at least,
those in war agencies—two
consecutive days off ‘each
month,
It would be either a Satur-
day and a Sunday, or a Sun-
day and Monday, The Navy
Department now arranges to
let its officer personnel have
two consecutive days off each
month, Civilian employees,
however, never get more than
one day at a time,
Draft Status of
Male Employees
WASHINGTON, —The Civil Serv-
ice Commission is quietly instruct-
ing Government agencies to re-
examine the draft status of male
employees.
Especially, it has asked them to
make sure that employees right-
fully entitled to 3-B status are not
classified in 3A.
According to Selective Service
directives, Government is regard-
ed as an essential industry, And
Government men with dependents
are therefore entitled to be placed
in Class &-B,
‘This does not mean permanent
deferment, It does mean, how-
ever, that a 3-B man cannot be
called until all 3-As within the
jurisdiction of his draft board
have been called.

U. S. Overtime Pay Expires
‘The expired overtime pay provisions for War and Navy De-
partments have not been extended. Senator Mead’s new bill
would wipe them out, and substitute the 20 percent raise on the
If the Mead bill is sidetracked or beaten, then Congress un-
doubtedly will renew the overtime provisions that ceased on No-
vember 30, and make them retroactive,

except ‘‘those whose wages are fixed and adjusted from time
to time in accordance with prevailing rates by wage boards or
similar administrative authority serving the same purpose.’’
The sudden loss of overtime hit workers in field offices
Hundreds of thousands of workers in Army and
Navy establishments are affected, Last week saw vast bewild-
erment, and many employees wondered just how they would
manage to get along on their reduced incomes, Many pointed
out that they had only accepted the employment on the assur-
ance that overtime pay would enable them to make ends meet,
However, officials pointed out that any arrangement which
is eventually completed will be retroactive to December 1, and
stated that employees who suddenly have their overtime cut
off shouldn't indulge in undue worrying.
No difficulty is anticl-
and in department offices in
cent raises as other employees,
7. War and Navy Department
employees whose salaries are fixed
by wage boards—in other words,
the thousands of skilled workers
in Navy yards and arsenals—would
continue to be paid as of
March 30,
As seen here, the princjpal ad-
vantage of the new bill is that it
gets completely away from the
controversial question of time-and-
a-half for overtime, It was that
issue that caused the Senate Ma-
jority Steering Committee to de-
cide it couldn't possibly get action
on the Administration overtime
bill at the present session,
How U.S. Civil Service Has
Adjusted to World War II
Emergency modifications and
simplifications In requirements
for entrance to the Federal civil

are contained in full in the 59th
annual report of the U. S. Civil
Service Commission revealed this
week.
With general agreement that
the needs of war have’ made it
moreover,
the number of vacancies to be
filled frequently has been been
greater than the number of ap-
plicants who could pass an exam,
the Commission obtained author-
ity from President Roosevelt to
make sharp changes in procedure
to speed recruitment,
Authorization for the use of new
methods stressed that persons
serving~in the emergency would
be in their jobs, most likely, not
longer than six months after the
beginning of the post-war period,
Only positions in the field service
of the post office department
have been excluded from this ar-
rangement; here it has been felt
that procedures for filling jobs
had been developed over a period
of almost 60 years, that they are
still functioning satisfactorily.
The following changes, among
others, have been effected by the
War Service Regulations:

ing without prior approval of the

cation of recruiting activities, to
Although it 1s believed the
compromise measure stands a
much better chance than the origi-
nal bill, there were signs, at
week's end, that it may encounter
tough sledding. Senator Mead had
hoped to get the Senate Civil
Service Committee together last
‘Thursday to consider the new bill,
He found it impossible, however,
to obtain a quorum,
At last reports, the committee
was planning to meet Monday or

may have to be called off, because
many Senators plan to attend the
St. Louis meeting of the Repub-
lican National Committee,

cient use of resources both of the
Commission and operating agency,
Whenever the number of ap-
* plicants for a competitive ex-
am exceeds anticipated needs, the
Commission may limit the num-
ber admitted to accord with those
needs, and examine applicants in
the order of receipt of their ap-
plications, This enables the Com-
mission to limit its work in con-
nection with any particular exam
to that which is necessary to
serve the war agencies and con-
tinue to maintain the competitive
principle of the merit system, La-
bor conditions indicate this power
will not have to be invoked fre-
quently.
Maximum age limits for ex-
* ams have been abolished except
where the appointing officer es-
tablishes to the satisfaction of the
Commission that the interests of
sound administration require such
mits for a particular position,
This change reflects the emphasis
placed by the war program on the
employment of persons of ad-
vanced age,
Eligible Ratings
4, The old requirement that a
* numerical rating be assigned
each eligible has been consider-
ably eased. In general, numerical
ratings continue to be assigned
in exams for which the supply of
eligibles exceeds the demand,
while competitors are rated mere-
ly “eligible” or ‘ineligible in ex-
ams for which the demand for eli-
gibles exceeds the supply. Where
all eligibles will be considered for
vacant positions within a limtied
time, the relative order of eli-
gibles isn't {mportant, On the
other hand, where only a limited

137 Pegged with
New Ratings
On Sergeant List
The names of 137 Patrolmen
were pegged up on the recent
Sergeant's list by action of the
Civil Service Commission last
week,
All but one of these 137 Patrol-
men were on the list as it was
originally published on Nov. 24.
One Patrolman did not appear at
all on the original list but is on
the newly revised list. His name
is Michael Rath, and his place on
the list is 1140A.
The cause for the renduffling
was the correction o1 tne error
in computation of Record Ratings
of those candidates who had re-
ceived Department penalties in
the form of fines and repri-
mands,
Until this Sergeant's examina:
tlon, the rules of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission provided for a re-
duction in’ the record ratings in
case of departmental discipline of
50 per cent for each day's fine
and of 26 per cent for each repri-
mand received,
Last year, just previous to the
holding of the Sergeant's examin-
ation in June, the Clyil Service
Commission, at the suggestion of
the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Asso-
ciation, reduced these penalties to
25 per cent for each day's fine
and to six per cent for each
reprimand,
In the process of computing the
records of the candidates, how-
ever, and perhaps due to the
slfuffling of the Civil Service
Commission, the resolution of the
old Commission embodying the

has certain rights on promotion
exams (defined in section 245, sub-
division three of the Military Law
of the State), which entitles him
to a special promotion exam if he
has been vnavie to take one as a
result of military leave, Such an
individual should inform the Com-
mission as soon as he is perma-
nently released from military
service, and he will be notified
when such an exam will be held.
Candidates
It is impossible, as a result of
‘ currently changing conditions
of war, to determine the exact
procedure relating to candidates
for civil service jobs who are on
military leave, In all probability
any policy adopted cannot be
completely defined until after the
duration—this polfey to be based
in large measure on legislation
which may be passed at a future
date,
6, This being the case, if one
* doesn’t wish to continue with
the exam for which he has filed
and desires his fee returned, a
form slip should be filled out and
returned to the Commission. On
receipt of this, the application will
be cancelled and all parts of the
exam already taken will be void-
ed. Some time may pass before fee
is refunded,
If one has filed an M.S.I. form
during the time the old mili-
tary regulations were in effect,
the policy then laid down will be
carried out as announced In line
with the new policy, however, no
new MSI, form is being issued,
The eligible receives a special ex-
am at the close of the war unless
he wishes his fee refunded.
8, No part of the exam is to be
* held at any of the military
camps nor will any special exam
be given until after the duration.
@, If you have filed an applica-
tion for a position , or have taken
any part of any exam for a posi-
ticn, or are now on an eligible
list, inform the Commission as
soon as you are permanently re-
leased from military service and
not later than 60 days from date
of discharge, in order that noti-
fication of any pertinent action
by the Commission in regard to
your status may be forwarded,

Suggests Board
To OK Leaves
For War Jobs
Councilmen had varying views
this week regarding Councilman
Hugh Quinn's introduction of a
bill providing for creation of,a
“city labor relations board” to
judge which employees should ob-
tain duration leaves for war job:
In effect, the Quinn measure
would take out of the hands of
city department heads the right
to judge which employees are en-
titled to leaves. It would do little
nure, except possibly enable the
city to save money if it were to
ease the path of those secking
leaves.
‘The crux of the whole thing lies
in the formation of the review
board. A number of Councilmen
didn't care for that phase of it,
pointing to its rather loose terms.
‘The board, as the bill states it,
is to be composed of:
1, The budget director.
2, One representative elected by
civil service employees of the city,
3. A judge of a court of record.
The board is to serve without
pay. The judicial member of the
board would be selected by the
other two.
City-Wide Election
As to election of a civil service
representative, Mr. Quinn thought
that each city department might
offer candidates and then submit
to a city-wide election of those
most highly nominated,
He saw a need not only to save
money for the city by removing
a number of persons from the pay>
roll whose service aren't current~
ly being used “such as engincers,
for instance, who aren't doing
anything much with building prac-
tically at a standstill,” and pointed
out that, under this measure, city
department heads couldn't con-
tinue to exercise jealousy over los
ing a valuable worker, If the re-
view board thought he should be

Big Profit Out of Birth Certificates,
But Health Dept. Provides Poor Service
(Exclusive)
A LEADER survey carried on
over the past few months this
week turned up several startling
things in the Department of
Health,
1, That the income in the De-
partment's Bureau of Vital Re-
cords and Statistics has amount-
ed, roughly, over a year's time,
to $600,000, while its expenditures
total, approximately, $350,000,
2, That, despite the difference
in income and operational ex-
penses, the bureau is manned not
only by civil service personnel but
by many WPA workers assigned
thore to “cut expenses.” What ex-
penses?
3, That this failure on the part
of the City to provide a sufficient
number of efficient searchers, es-
pecially in this time of war, is
not justified,
4, That searches are often con-
suming more time than is neces-
sary at a time when war makes
every moment an eternity, How
many folks have lost a chance to
get a war job by minutes because
they didn’t have their birth cer-
tificatet
5. That much time could be
seved, even with the current
makeup of personnel, if some of
the ancient systems of filing re-
cords could be centralized,
ecing that your origin may
be hazy, that you are practically
propounding a $64 question for
the people in the record room, a
wartime period makes it vital that
your birth record be found in the
swiftest possible time,
It was in the summer of last
year that the work load of the
searchers leaped practically seven
times what normal would be, If
anybody thought the three times
normal of 1940 was anything, this
was indeed a shovk.
The noise for hirth certificates
became so thunderous that WPA
help was hurlee into the situation,
practically doubling the staff, And
Health Commissioner Ernest L.
Stebbins last week told The
LEADER that they haye enabled
the bureau to operate on a satis-
fuctory basis,
But have they? Not according
to constant complaints about de-
loys. In fact, The LEADER has
lourned that regardless of com-
plications that may beset a re-
cord difficult to find, there is vir-
tually no reason at all for the de-
lays still confronting folks in the
record room, Two to three days
should be enough to get anybody
a birth certificate, if the bureau
is operating efficiently, This
isn’t our say-so, It's competent
opinion.
Commissioner Stebbins revealed
something else. That the number
of transcripts for births has spir-
alled upward from 5,000 to 50,000
a month, Then you have about
10,900 paid transcripts on death
certificates a month,
‘Of course, not all the transcripts
on births are paid for. \/.: vets
erans, for instance, don't pa,, But
even {f 10,000 don't pay, you still
got a monthly income of approx-
imately $40,000, or $480,000 a year,
It the income rvom death certifi-
cates 1s $120,000 a year, which ia
seneible figuring, you'd get an ine
take of about $600,000, Multiply=
ing Dr, Stebbins’ estimates by $1
(that's the cost to get a tran+
seript), you arrive at these totals,
Now, #8 to operational expens:
about 150 civil service employees
earn, roughly, around $1,500
year each, That makes $225,000,
Let's be liberal and throw $100,
000 in the direction of the offices
of the assistant chief clerks in the
five boroughs. The WPA help, wa
understand, aren't paid out of the
same dish, And another $50,000
just for miscellaneous expenses,
such as typewriter ribbons and
hat racks, That's $350,000, Or
didn’t that fellow who is reading

“The certification procedure,"
the statement read, "will not

yond the prevaiting level of com-
pensation for similar services in

exceptional cases where such an

City. May Help Pay
Armed Men’s Pensions
Manhattan Borough President
Edgar J. Nathan, Jr., offered a
resolution urging -protection of
pension rights and benefits of
city employees now or yet to be-
come members of the armed serv-
ices when the Board of Estimate
met Friday, December 4. The
Board held it over, but it appears
that the resolution may get seri-
ous consideration,
The resolution grew out of a
proposal by City Councilman
Stanley Isaacs, who several
months ago threw the idea into
the laps of the Board. It since
remained static, awaiting spon-
sorship by a Board member. Now
Mr, Nathan has gone and done it.
In a letter to fellow Board mem-
bers, Mr. Nathan points out that,
under terms of the preesnt regu-
lation, it is necessary for city em-
ployees in the military service to
continue pension contributions
they made while employed by the
city in order to retain full bene-
fits in the New York City Em-
ployees’ Retirement System.
“These contributions,” says Mr.
Nathan, ‘constitute a serious bur-
den for the great majority of em-
ployees now in the military serv-
ice."
The New Plan
Under the plan advanced by Mr.
Nathan, the city would continue
its own as well as the employee's
contribution as long as the em-
ployee is on military leave from
his regular job.
‘The sum for such payments, Mr.
Nathan explains, can be obtained
by the city from aceruals which
accumulate while the employee is
on military leave. He adds that,
under the plan, an employee would
not only continue to receive cur-
rent benefits of the pension sys-
tem, but would be entitled to full
Board to Control

(Continued from Page Three)
spared, he'd be spared, And he'd
get his job back, too.
Councilman Quinn didn’t think
the city’s Manpower Board makes
his bid unnecessary, despite what
other Council members feel on this
point, Councilmen Louis Cohen
and William M, McCarthy thought
the Manpower Board could do the
work incorporated in this bill.
Their Views
Mr, Cohen added that the bill “tis
much too indefinite as it now
stands.'’ Mr. McCarthy prefer-
red ‘‘to think it over before saying
any more."
Councilman William A, Carroll
feared that, once valuable men are
permitted to slide out of jobs, the
city may in the post-war period
claim it isn’t financially able to
take them back; that it shouldn't
be made too easy to leave city
service. Moreover, he felt a re-
view board wouldn't be as qual
ified as a department head to de-
cide on whether or not a man in
a technical job could be spared.
Sees Complications
Councilman John M, Christensen
thought the bill “is too broad and
too likely to lead to dangerous
complications as it is now consti:
tuted.”
Councilmen Louis P, Goldberg,
Anthony J. DiGiovanna, William
N. Conrad, James A. Phillips
(who'd have civil service groups
of employees, such as eligible asso-
ciations, pick the civil service rep-
resentative) and Mrs, Rita Casey
agreed the bill, basically, is sound.
Councilmen John P. Nugent
and Peter V. Cacchione desired to
give it more thought.
Councilman Quinn pointed out
that the bill, which has been
turned over to the Finance Com-
mittee, of which he is a member,
is “nothing new.” He said he in-
troduced a measure last April 10
“somewhat similar but turned
down because it would virtually
have cleaned out the city depart-
ments," he said.
‘The former bill would have made
it mandatory upon heads of de-
partments to grant duration leaves
for military or war work in all
caseé,
employment credit for his period
of service without being faced
with a debt to the pension sys-
tem upon his return from war.
“The approval of this resolu:
tion,” Mr, Nathan holds, ‘‘will
give an increased sense of secur
ity 10 our employees now serving
their country and to their fam-
‘lie .
Councilman Isaacs expressed
pleasure at Mr, Nathan's action
and added “I'm confident the
Board will see the justice of this
proposal to have the city take care
of the pensions of municipal em-
ployees in the service.’
Here's the Resolution
‘The text of Mr, Nathan's resp-
lution folloy
Whereas, many members of the
various City employees’ pension and
retirement funds have entered and
will enter the ‘med forces of the
United States; and
Whereas, many of these em-
ployees are not financially able to
preserve their status by contribut-
Ing to the pension funds as con-
templated by Chapter 843 of the
Laws of 1941 and other statutes;
therefore be it
Resolved, by the Board of fsti-
mate that’ for the duration of his
military leave from City service
any requirement of annuity or pen-
sion contribution of each ‘City em-
ployee on such military ex-
cept those employees whose status
the City provide
such additional’ credit for all pen-
sion purposes, except refund of
contributions, ‘as would have been
purchased by such employee's con-
tribution had his service not been
so interrupted; be it further
Resolved, that any contribution
by members on military leave here-
tofore or hereafter made, shall bi
regarded as exccss contributions,
creditable in lieu of regular con-
tributions upon his nature to ser-
vice or payable in addition to other
benefits . upon separation mean-
while with benefit; be it further
Resolved, that in the event that
tho purposes of this resolution can-
not be fully accomplished without
action of the State Legislature the
Corporation Counsel be and hereby
is requested to prepare and have
introduced such legistation as is
deemed to be appropriate to carry
out the purpose of the above reso-
lution,

Siren Jobs
The preferred list for auto en-
ginemen is being pruned for eligi-
bles for air raid siren attendant
jobs, of which there are 87 in the
city, The LEADER learned this
week,
Currently the city's ten master
sirens, operated by gasoline re-
volving motors, are manned by 27
firemen who receive $3,000 a year
and who could be relieved of this
work for regular duty to help re-
lieve the shortage of fire depart-
ment personnel,
Air warden attendants operate in
three eight-hour shifts to provide
the city’s residents with constant
service, An additional seven men
are required for relief.
It's the objective of Mayor La
Guardia’s office and the Municipal
Civil Service Commission to pro-
vide rigid physical tests—similar
to the one provided for entrance
into army aviation (for dizziness
and all)—to ascertain that candi-
dates are properly chosen.
If a sufficient number cannot be
garnered from the auto engine-
man list, other civil service em-
ployees with a knowledge of com-
bustion engines will be tried, If
that doesn't reach the desired
goal, outsiders will be sought.

Canteen to Open
In January
On January 16, a civil service
canteen for service men will open
at 13 Astor Place, N, Y.
‘The canteen was planned by em-
ployees of the various Federal,

will be wholly supported by them.
This new place of entertainment
and recreation for service men
will be open only on Saturday
nights at the beginning, and em-
phasis will be on the cultural,
rather than on the variety type of
entertainment, Concert artists,

excess of $624 a year, However,
in order to simplify matters, the
law permits employers to deduct
a round sum, prescribed by tables
set forth in the statute, instead of
the exact amount of the tax, As
will be explained later, the fact
that the round sum deduction
made under these tables may be
less or more than the amount com-
puted at the 5 percent rate, will
not alter by one penny the amount
of tax that the employee must
eventually pay. It is important
that this be understood at the out-
set, since the deductions provided
by these tables, rather than the
exact amount of the tax on the
salary, will be used by the State.
Here's ‘The Table
The statutory table for deduc-
tions against salaries or wages
paid semf-monthly (which is, as
you know, the usual State system)
is given below:

Case of Johnny Jones
In order that there may be no
misunderstanding of these tables,
let us apply them to a couple of
typical cases.
John Jones, for example, has a
salary vate of $1,200 a year, or
$50 for each semi-monthly period.
Since this amount falls in
bracket in the above table “over
$40 but not over $50," the Victory
deduction will be ninety cents.
This deduction is, of course, in ad-
dition to any other deductions for
retirement system purposes or for
the purchase of war bonds. And,
similarly, the salary to be used in
computing the tax is the salary
before any such retirement sys-
tem, war bond or insurance deduc-
tions.
of Mary Doe
ke another typical case;
that of, Mary Doe with a sal-
ary of $2,640 a year, or $110 per
semi-monthly payroll period, Since
this amount falls in the bracket
‘over $100 but not over $120,” the
deduction heve will be $4.20, as in-
dicated by the table above pro-
vided.
Readers who take the trouble to
figure out the deduction on a 5
percent basis in these two cases
will find that it amounts to $1.20
in the case of John Jones (5 per-
cent of $50, less $26 exemption)
and $4.20 in the case of
(5 percent of $110, less
emption), Thus, for Mary Doe,
Let us ti
the deduction made under the
table is exact; but, for John Jones,
it is thirty cents I ‘h payroll
period than the sum given by the
5 percent rate.
This, however, does not mean
that John Jones is getting an ad-
vantage over Mary Doe; nor, con-
trarywise, in eases where the de-
duction provided for by the table
exceeds the sum Siven by the 5
percent rate, that the individual
is being penalized,
“Pay-As-You Go! Basis
And the reason is this, The de
duction to be made by the State
from payroll checks is
‘collection, on a
basis,
of the Victory to be levied on
salaries and wages. Put this an-
other way, The current deduc-
tions to be made from your pay:
roll checks, starting January 1,
1943, yments on a@
Victory tax imposed on your total
income, including salary. ‘The
deductions are prescribed by law.
They must be made. But when
the individual comes to figure out
and report to the Government the
exact amount of his Victory Tax
(he must do this on or before
March 15, 1944, for his 1943 in-
come), he will take credit for the
deductions made against his pay.
Thus, if the individual, when he
finally computes his 5 percent
Victory Tax, finds that it amounts
to $110, and that $100 has been
deducted from his pay for these
purposes, the additicnal amount
due will be $10, On the other
hand, if $120 had been deducted,
he would have a credit of $10 to
apply against his regular income
tax; or, if he has no regular in-
come tax, this amount will be re-
funded by the Government.
Credits
In the computation of the Vic-
tory Tax, certain credits, based
upon war bond purchases, life in-
surance premiums paid and debts
paid, are allowable, They do not
become of immediate importance
until the return for 1943 (due on
or before March 15, 1944) is made
out.
The following points regarding
these deductions should be care-
fully noted:
1, The deduction is based upon
the gross salary payable to an em-
ployee before any deductions for
retirement system purposes, inour-
ance or war savings bonds. Gross
salary includes any allowance for
maintenance, and, in the case of
employees who are provided with
maintenance, the value of such
maintenance,
2, It is not necessary for the
employee to keep track of the
amounts deducted from his pay
for Victory tax purpo The
State will notify each employee
shortly after the close of each tax-
able year of the amount deducted.
3. The amount of compensation
exempt from the deduction (name-
ly, $624 a year or $26 a semi-
monthly payroll period) is the
same for married persons as for
single persons.
4. The purchase of war bonds
does not affect the deduction, It
does, however, affect the amount
of Victory tax as finally computed,
This will be explained in a subse-
quent article.
§, The amount actually deducted
from your pay may be slightly
more or less than 5 percent of
your salary for a payroll period
less the exemption of §26, Do not
be disturbed by this. It does not
affect in any way your Victory
Tax liability to the Government.
ALBANY — Representatives of
some 20,000 State employees in
hospitals and other institutions,
after an all-day session, are mak-
ing ready a schedule of suggested
changes in maintenance values
which they will present before
December 15 to Budget Director
J. Buckley Bryan for his consid-
eration,
Recently, Director Bryan made
public a revised schedule of main-
allowances which the
State intends to deduct from the
pay of institution employees be-
ginning July 1, This includes al-
lowances for rooms or apartments
furnished institution employees by
the State, tl als, laundry,
Garage space, refrigeration, hos-
pital and medical care, and other
items.
tenance
No Maids
The new schedule would affect
not only the lower paid employees
(ile attendants at $1,200 a year)
but staff members and physicians
attached to the institutions. Bryan
ruled among other things that
maid service no longer would be
furnished gratis by the State to
staff employees and executives
and that the provisioning of em-
ployees’ tables with food from
State stores would be eliminated,
Dr. Frank L, Tolman, of the
Education Department, is chair-
man of the employees’ committee
appointed by Harold J, Fisher

Employees. This committee
listened to spokesmen for em:
ployees at all of the major institu: |
tions in the all-day heating in the

sensus of their recommendations
will be submitted to Director
Bryan in the hope that he will
modify or clarify his proposed new
schedule of maintenance values,

items and some didn’t. In some
institutions the more laundry
there is the better the situation,
since it keeps patients busy. In
others, patients do little or none
of the laundry work, Some em
ployees felt that medical costs
should not be deducted and some
thought they should,
One argument was that where
medical services are furnished the
institution head is certain to in-
sist upon treatment of the em-
ployee even for such ailments as
colds—as a protection to the pa-
tients, and that the charge prop-
ly should be absorbed by the State.
Another view was that if medical
services are made a deductible
item, the situation would be the
same anyway but that the em-
ployee

this wouldn't obtain and that it
would be more economical for the
employee to seek medical aid at
his own expense when he felt he
needed it,
Budget Director Bryan indicated
he would do all he could do to
harmonize the views and criti-
cisms of the employees with the
yesults of his own studies and sur-
veys of the situation,

Senior H. S. Students
Prepared for Industry
A special series of afternoon and
evening courses which are de-
signed to enable senior high school
students to enter industry as soon
as they register, was announced
yesterday by Dr. Leonard Fried-
man, principal of Abbe Institute,
1679 Broadway.
“Although the courses are in
such subjects as typing, stenogra-
phy, booltkeeping and accounting,
which seemingly have no connec-
tion with the war effort, said
Dr. Friedman, “shortages in cler-
ical help may retard the work of
the men on the production lines.
Therefore, the new courses, which
are designed to place our students
in paid part-time positions from
the start, will serve a definite pur-
pose."”

ed in the Victory program are
classes in cost accounting, filing,

Looking Around
T occurred to us, as we were thinking about a sub-
J ject for an editorial, that civil service employees
are today faced with an unusual number of unsolved
problems.
MANPOWER
The sudden announcement by the President, over the
week-end, placing ccntrol of the nation’s manpower in
the hands of Paul McNutt, adds to these problems. Will
all civil employees be frozen into jobs where they are
most needed? (A beginning in this direction has already
been made.) Will transfers of employees become more
widespread? Will civil employees be transferred to
private industry if it is felt they would be more useful
there? And vice versa? Will the selective service oc-
cupational questionnaire be used to recruit men for gov-
ernment jobs? In other words, will the Government
say: “Mr. Jones, we need you in such and such a job on
such and such a date. Please prepare to report?” Will
employees of City and State departments be permitted
leaves of absence to take war jobs?
SALARY PROBLEM
Another unsolved problem—and a very disturbing
one—is that of salaries. In the Federal service, overtime
pay to hundreds cf thousands of Navy and War Depart-
ment workers ended on November 30, as Congressional
committees wrangled with a new pay-raise bill (see page
2). In New York State, it was reported that Governor-
elect Dewey had taken up the question of a salary mini
mum with his advisers (see page 16). The Mental Hy-
giene Department, which is in desperate plight as a re-
sult of depteted manpower, has come up with a plan for
a longer work-day and time-and-a-half for overtime. In
New York City, Hospital Department employees have
received substantial raises in pay, and City Hall rumors
indicate the possibility of raises in other departments,
too. Such action is deemed imperative. Unless salary
adjustments are forthcoming in all three jurisdictions—
Federal, State, and City — further problems can be an-
ticipated.
WAR LABOR BOARD
On Wednesday of this week, the War Labor Board
meets in Washington to hear argument as to whether it
shall accept the case of the Transport Workers Union
against the NYC Board of Transportation. Its decision
will be of enormous magnitude, for it will go far in set-
tling the moot question: Do organizations of emplyees
in public service have the same rights and privileges
those in private industry? Mayor LaGuardia has sa
bluntly that government workers do not have the right
to strike; but the right to strike is not involved in this
case. He has also said that employee salaries are fixed
by law, and a Federal agency can’t do anything about i
however, the facts are that the salaries of subway work-
ers aren't fixed by law, but by the three commissioners
of the Board of Transportation.
Well, these are some of the problems employees and
administrators ought to do plenty of thinking about.

A Letter to
Police Eligibles
SI In the interest of Civil
Service and out of the respect for
individuals for whom the list wes
established, will you kindly print
this letter.
To Special Patrolman Eligibles;
Dear fellows—for your interest
and benefit I quote this letter,
hoping that it will awaken you
to fucts and bring some actio:
Our list has been out a fe
months now and there has been
about as much snap and life in it
as grandma's grandfather, Evi-
dently you are aware of the tact
that I-As and 3-As who do not
meet standards are being re-
fused appointments, This is an
awful slap in the face to many
of us boys who as it is, face an
awful future,
Now that most of us are defi-
nitely denied a job, other depart-
ment heads, acting like vultures,
are beginning to peck at the rest
‘of the fellows who are still eli-
gible for appointment. They are
offering you or going to offer
you military replacement jobs,
which is unquestionably tempor-
ary work, Is this what we all
trained and spent money for,
money that could have been used
for far better purposes? What
good is it to take any Civil Serv-
ice exams, unless we: start fight-
ing for our rights? Please fellows,
I beg of you do not accept these
temporary jobs, if you can pos-
sibly help it, for if you do, you
will never be a cop and say I
have a steady job. If you accept,
other departments will follow
suit with temporary jobs, then
what will be left? Remember our
list will last only one year and if
we don't act wisely and quickly
and fight together we are wasting
our hopes and prayers, Good luck
{0 you all, JOSEPH LYONS,
JOSEPH F. McLOUGHLIN is a
man you've got“to like, first _mo-
ment you see him. There's a dig-
nity in his bearing, but a twinkle
in his eye. Joe gives you the im-
pression that he can weigh every
side of a complex problem; but,
too, that he can swap good jokes
with the best of ‘em:
We paid a visit to Joe the otner
week,after we had looked up some
facts about him. This is the con-
clusion we came to: A specimen
of the finest sort of development
under the merit system; a man
who might have shrivelled men-
tally under the impact of his de-
tailed job, but instead has growr.
with it; an amiable Irishman who
has developed an interest in more
things than do most men; a good
family man, and a leader of his
fellows.
We're not alone in this impres-
sion of Joe; we've talked to. those
who've worked with him, and they
size him up about the same way.
His civil service title is Ap
pellate Term Clerk. His job, as
we size it up in terms of its mani-
fold duties, is to act as adminis-
trative and executive head of the
Appellate Department which hears
appeals from city and municipal
courts in Manhattan and the
Bronx.
Number 1 Man
Joe has one sorrowful memory
about his civil service career; he
was once number 2 man on a list.
On all other exams in which he
had participated, he had come out

QUESTION, PLEASE
“Publication’ ’
And “Promulgation”
A.R.: The difference between
the publication and promulgation
of an eligible list is this: publica-
tion of an eligible list is the re-
leasing of the names according to
their final averages of the success-
ful candidates after the competi-
tive parts of the examination have
been rated. After a list is pub-
Ushed, qualifying examinations,
such ag the medical, sometimes
must’ be completed. The candi-
dates’ statements concerning
training and experience, their
character, citizenship and _resi-
ence must be investigated. All
steps having’ been finished, the
Commission formally decl the
list ready to be certified. ‘This
* formal act is called the promulga-
tion of the list,
Certification
And Appointment
W.T.: The fact that an eligi-
ble’s name is certified is no guar-
anty that he is about to be ap-
pointed. In the first place, a de-
partment may appoint one of
three persons on the eligible list
and an eligible could be passed
over (those departments coming
under the direct supervision of the
Mayor may pass over an eligible *
only with his permission, how-
ever.) Secondly, the Commission
usually certifies three names for
each vacancy. For example, if a
Person is number 10 on a list and
the list is certified to fill yonr
vacancies, that person would ap-
pear as number 10 on a certifica-
tion of 12 names, The first four
Persons usually will be appointed
and number 10 wil! not be reach
ed; instead, his name will moit
up so that he will be number #*
on the next certification.

The new scales have been de-

They are to take effect early in
january, affecting some 350 posi

request for the boosts is now be-

Dayton.
‘And here's another thing: the
maintenance men are also going

Ambition
Mrs. Catherine Kay, clerk, grade
2, in Kings County Hospital, who
has been with the . department.
since 1926, doesn’t permit a vaca-
tion to interfere with her duties.
She has taken advantage of her
time-off period to put in 150 hours
in a volunteer nurses’ aid course,
Now she serves as-a yoltntzer aid
at Kings..County in addition to!
her regular job.
Appeal
It'is when you speak of yolun-
teer nurses’ ids that Eugene R.
Canudo, Hospital Department sec-
retary, really feels the urge to
stress a need among need: ‘Tel!
them volunteer nurses’ aides are
vital, There are only about 500
of them at present and actually
we need a minimum of 1,400."”
Figures
Talking of vacancies, as who
isn’t the days, here are tho lurid
details regarding Hospital Depar'
ment vacancies, which are worse
than ever:
As of November 30, there are
3,571 openings—an increase of 291
in all categories since the October
15 checkup, which showed 3,280
vacancies in all divisions. Back
‘on September 19 the calculations
revealed 2,800 vacancies,
Among helpers and attendants,
there are 1,118 openings, in com-
parison to 1,072 in the October 15
checkup. There are currently 892
vacancies among nurs And
don’t forget that 1,000 attendants
are serving as nurses, thus help-
ing to reduce the vacancies the-
oretically but not actually.
‘Then there's the matter of mili-
tary leaves, now 1,701,

About OT
OT, over in the Hospital Depart-
ment, may well mean Occupation-
al Therapy, As a matter of fact,
it does,
For more than two years
patients made 723 war relief ar-
ticles; in 1941, before Pearl Har-
bor, 1,528: since Pearl Harbor,
4,673. Or a total of 6,919 items.
These include women's and
girls’ dresses, sleepers, petticoats,
trousers, boys’ shorts, surgical
gowns, They're turned over to
agencies such as the American
Red Cross, Canadian Red Cross,
Bundles for Britain, Friends’ Serv:
ice Committee, and Women's Vol:
untary Services,
Even hand-lettered signs for air
raid precautions, stamp and bond
sules and conservation of ma-
terials posters have been made in
great quantities.
Old men in one institution mend-
ed, and patched 750 old burlap
bags, anticipating use of sandbags.
Patients at Sea View cut stencils
and do all the mimeographing for
the institution. In this hospitat
they're also working on model air-
planes for the Navy.
‘The motto of the sick js: "Mke
everything go a little farther and
Inst a little longer.”
Tip to patients: With your doc-
tor’s consent, volunteer for vic-
tory. Apply at the Occupational

Division of Occupational Therapy,

small share in helpmg to win the

Intra-Departmental Exams
Older men have forgotten, and
younger. policemen may have
never heard, that under the police
administration of Commissioner
O’Ryan the commanding officers
of the various commands selected
one or two patrolmen to compete
in intra -departmental examina-
tions, The examination was
termed an ‘'Adaptability and In-
telligence Test’, and those who
topped it were subsequently as-
signed to tho Detective Bureau,
Patrolman Bernard Kessler, now
Lieutenant Kessler, was one of
these. sticcessful patrolmen, Lieut,
Kessler—or Barney, as anyone
who knows him for five minutes
calls him=is 86 years old and has
13 years’on the job. ‘Two years a
Heutenant, he overcame his senior-
ity handicap in both his Sergeant's
and Lieutenant's examination by
turning in an excellent paper,
He had studied optometry at Co-
lumbia University, and worked as
» & musician before his appointment
to the police force in 1929. He
blows & hot saxophone and clari-
net—he thinks Benny Goodman is
tops, but like Benny Goodman he
turns -to- the classics for real
music, He played in the Police
band while a patrolman,
As a patrolman, first in the 48th
Precinct and later in the 28th Pre-
cinet, Lieut, Kessler took the
Adaptability and Intelligence Test:
As a result of his excellent marks
on these exams he was assigned
immediately to the Crime Preven-
tion Bureau and after. a few
months he went into the Detective
Bureau, where he remained until
his Sergeant appointment four
years later,
Three Citations
Tn his four years as a Detective
he received three citations for out-
standing arrests, The first was for
arrest of four hijackers of a truck
with 60,000 pounds of sugar. The
second was for tX» arrest of two
stick-up men who had perpetrated
@ stick-up with loaded revolvers.
Lt. Kessler is an extremely mod-
est gentleman and would be the
first to insist that chere are a few
Detectives who were appointed as
a result of that Adaptability and
Intelligence Test who have even
better records as Detectives.
To a newspaperman who is for-
ever running into bureaucrats who
believe that words were invented
to hide their thoughts rather than
to express them, Lieut. Kessler is
a breath of fresh air, He hates
can’t and hypocrisy and has the
perspicuity to recognize it at once,
He is tough enough mentally to
appreciate the limitations of peo-
ple, but he is not so cynical as
to believe that the best we can
expect of the human race is its
worse, He is really an idealist
with his feet on the ground—for
our money the realest kind of
realist,
Lieut. Kessler has just the traits
that such an idealistic realist
would be expected to have—a
sense of humor and a capacity
for indignation, Neither trait is
ever misapplied. He can laugh at
human foibles but never at hu-
man cruelties, sufferings or in-
justices.
He is the sort of officer who
would resent the levying of unjust
criticism upon the shoulders of
patrolmen, His thinking is deep-
ly imbued with the tradition of
democracy and tolerance.
He {s truly one of "New. York's
Finest.”’

contending for the presidency of

Next week we'll give you the

think it’s only fair to run it now.
Says Frank:

No New Clerks Yet
The department hasn't gotten
permission yet to hire additional
clerical aid, and to promote a
number of grade 1 clerks to grade

ter news next week, That is, if
the Budget Director relents.

Two employees of the Sanitation
Department have joined the Met-
ropolitan Unit of the Ordnancs

Metropolitan Unit is a special out-
fit for men with mechanical in-
clinations. The two are Edward
Payton, of Harry Langdon's ot-
fice, and Anthony Gambino, of
Commissioner Diserio's off ce.

That honor roll unveiled the
other day contains 700 names,
‘The background is made of hand-
carved wood, The names are ap-
plied in strips. No Sanitation em-
ployees have thus far been killed
in battle, but several have lost
their lives in accidents.

Assistant Commissioner Powell's
son flew in from Panama on an
Aimy bomber last week. He was
the only member of the Powell
family unable to be present at his
mother's funeral, But it was a
real comfort to father and son to
be together again, if only for a
short time.
Carey In
We've noticed, by the way, that
Commissioner Carey devotes lots
more time to his job than he used
to. In fact, he seems to be in al-
most ali the time these days.
With a growing manpower short-
age in the department, the snows
coming on, a budget to be made
up, that's all to the good. Carey
probably has more outside inter-
ests than any other City official,
and these interests extend in many
parts of the world.
Versatile Labden
Charles Labden is quite a fel-
low. He heads the Holy Name
operation with the other line or-
ganizations; for placing the organ-
ization on a sound financial basis
and for maintaining an intelligent,
practical program designed to
benefit all members of the lieu-
tenants Eenevolent Association.”
That Matter of
A Fund Shortage
‘Well, it got into the newspapers
at last, and the boys throughout
the city that we talked to didn’t
feel happy about the news
articles concerning that alleged
fund shortage in the Patrolmen’s
Progressive Association. The in-
vestigation will be completed this
week by the D.A.'s Office, and
frankly, some of the boys we
talked to #aid they felt it didn’t
look too good for somebody, We
learned, incidentally, that there is
no departmental supervision over
the affairs of the Progressive, or
of some six similar organizations
in. the department. One official,
who has a detailed knowledge of
actuarial matters, told us that he
considers the actuarial basis of
the various insurance plans of
these organizations could be much
stronger than they are, but we're
not experts in this field, so we're
only passing on the statement
with the comment that we don't
know, one way or another. How
ever, it does appear that the or-
ganizations have been getting Jess

years, and the younger men seem
to be shying away.

Then induction day dawned—tare-
wells reigned supreme and my
shoulders dripped from the dewy-
eyed mothers of some of my ac-
quaintances who said, taking me
aside, ‘You look like an older,
quiet boy, see that my son has
plenty to eat, plenty of blankets,

imbedded deep in my fatter cheek,
as I complacently murmured, ‘of

kept picturing myself as a cherub
in the clouds, a harp on one arm
and a gentle hand waving in the

ture was continuously being inter-

He Speeds It Up
‘Today, as one of his duties, Mc-
Loughlin sits on matters of pro-
cedure in his court. He is some-
times able to bring down 250 cases
to 50 before presentation to the
judges. It is his job to separate
procedural matters from legal
propositions, If, for example, a
jJawyer requests an extension,
briefs will be submitted to Me-
Loughlin for decision. He pre-
pares the calendar of the court,
and must keep a careful watch on
all papers so that they may be
readily available when needed.
Every paper is filed with his of-
fice. He conceives his function to
be “relieving congestion, expe-
diting business.” His appoint-
ment to his present positiun was
made by Presiding Justice Francis
Martin, of the Appellate Division,
First Department, in 1935.
Jury Pooling
During the preceding six years,
he had worked on a jury Pooling
System. This system, which has
since been copied by 40 states,
provides for a pooling of prospec-
tive jurors for the various parts
of the Supreme Court. The pre-
ceding ‘method had been to
summon separate panels for cach
Part. The McLoughlin plan cut
down the number of prospective
jurors from 1,500 to 600. No time
is wasted in assigning the jurors,
and their own convenience is
greatly served, At the same time,
it has brought larger savings to
the court. Here's what the plan
has meant: ‘In four full years.
Jury Pooling has saved in the Su-
preme Court alone in New York
County $306,833 in jury fees, and
1,639 hours of court time, It has
saved 58,950 mer from being called
for jury service. The money saved
would have been $411,196 if the
jury fec had not been raised from
$3 to $1 a day for two years.”
This, we submit, 1s quite an
; achievement.
But Joseph F, McLoughlin has a

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER.
Dewey Takes Up
Civil Service,
Job Problems
The LEADER has learned that
Governor-elect Thomas E. Dewey
is giving over a good deal of at-
tention to the State's civil serv-
ice problems, It is known that
the Governor met last week in
New York City with several of
his closest advisers and GOP
leaders. Among the propositions
said to have been placed be‘ore
him are two which have received
extensive discussion in The
I DER: (1) the advisability of
a $1,200 sa minimum for
State employe: (2) the advisa-
bility of a 12-hour day, 6-day

that Dewsy has named a new bud-

other hand, some individuals close
to Dewey that the plan had
GOP consideration, and wouldn't
have been mad» at this Inte date
without rome k’nd of discusston
with the leaders of the new ad-
ministration, Other sources say
that hospital workers will be
given 1 flat pay increase, and a
substantial one—and that this mat-
ter came up for full considera-
tion during the Dewey-GOP talks
Just woek.
No Complete Turnover
nwhile, a snag appears to
have hit thoge job-hungry
politicos who had hoped to see
a complete turnover in the State's
personnel—that is, jobs to the
faithful in all open positions, The
snag is this, as reportedly put to
the Governor in (he form of a
question: Can there be a whole-
Listing of Trainee O
Available Under U.S. Government
The United States Government
has plenty of positions for men
and women in the various phases
of war production. What’s more,
the Government will train you for
these positions, and pay you dur-
ing the training period. This
article will tell you about some
of these opportunities now avai!-
able.
Junior Inspector Tralnee,
There is an examination that
goes under the title of Junior In-
spector Trainee, Ordnance Mater-
ial, open to both men and women,
Employment is in the Ordnance
Department, New York District.
‘Trainees receive instruction in the
fundamentals of the inspection of
ordnance materials to determine
whether those materials comply
with technical specifications, To
be eligible, ycu must have at least
a high school education, includ-
ing training in mathematics, plus
physics or chemistry. Lower age
limit is 18, ‘There is no upper age
lmit. Unele Sam pays you $1,440
sale clean-out of all temporary
employees and exempt Democrats
or iy the labor market too tight to
permit such action?’
It is felt that. the Dewey camp
holds to the latter half of the ques-
tion, A last-minute round-up of
opinion seems to indicat» that
thoso who hope to see wholesale
firings in all State departments
are destined to be disappointed.
Key and policy-making officials
will be replaced and so will many
who work with them, But the
probabilities. are that the Dewey
broom will stop far short of cre-
ating turmoil in the State depart-
ments. ‘There is wide agrcement
among Dewey forces, moreover,
that he is seeking the best pos-
sible personnel with which to
make replacements
a year during your training
period,

tended until the needs of the serv-
ice are met, Those selected are

morning on the second floor you
could have bowled anybody over
with a supervisor and hardly ex-
pected a stir, Then it happened:
girls shrieked until the rafters
on the sixth floor trembled, they
rushed to the tops of their desks,
they lifted their skirts and
pants (oh, Miss Maureen O'Don-
oghue!) and yowled some more,
and gentlemen such as gallant
Ben Cohen started throwing
waste paper baskets—and even
supervisors cried for mercy. A
rat (or was it a mouse?) was
loose. It probably came up
from the excavations outside the
building.
While such timid ladies as Miss
Myrtle Newton, the socially ele-
gant supervisor, huddled in a cor-
ner, Big Chief Supervisor Frank
Hoerch grasped a window pole
and proceeded to chase the rat—
or mouse,” But it disappeared as
mysteriously as it had come. Al-
most an hour, in fact, disappeared
with it, Then, lttle Corinne Es-
posito, a typist, opened her desk
drawer and—you guessed it. Out
leaped the rat—or mouse, Corinne
leaped too, into a heap, Promptly

Hoesch cornered it and somebody
did the rest, Hero Hoesch then
strutted around—holding it aloft
