30-Day Notices for

Fired ULS.

WASHINGTON, July 11 — The
U.S, Civil Service Commission has
issued revised retention preference
regulations governing reductions
in force in all agencies in the ex-
ecutive branch of the Government,
The new regulations will become
effective on September 1, 1949, or
at an earlier date in any agency
as the head of the agency may
determine, The new provision
read:

“Preferential reinstatement for
one year has been substituted for
the previous requirement of one-
year notices to satisfactory career
employees. In the past, the few
persons who received notices dur-
ing the early months of a fiscal
year received one-year notices, in-
cluding eleven months of annual
leave and non-pay furlough, while
the great number who received
notices during the last three or
four months of a fiscal year, had
little more than the thirty-day
duty notice periods because their

Pay Increase Denied

ALBANY, July 11 — Some 1,700
State engineers were denied an
appeal for salary increases at the
final meeting of the State Salary
Standardization Board held re-
cently

The 1,700 engineers are em-
Ployees of the Public Works De-
partment and are located through-
out the state. Present pay ranges
from $2,070 to $10,900 a year, A
committee had asked for increases
ranging from about $700 for the
lowest paid to about $1,700 for the
highest,

Workers

agencies could not afford to pay
for terminal leave out of the ap-
propriations for the new fiscal
year, In order to avoid distinc-
tions in notice periods, the new
provisions provide for a minimum
of thirty days notice with pref-
erential reinstatement rights in
the cases of all satisfactory career
employees for a year after re-
ceiving notice,”
What is ‘Clarified’?

Among the provisions clarified
in the new regulations, with little
change in substance, are:

1, Employees in positions in the
competitive service are not in

ALBANY, July 11 — The Civil
Service Employees Association, as
well as many State Department
offices were deluged with inquiries
following Governor Thomas E.

Dewey's directive permitting the
closing of all administrative of-
fices on Saturday, July 2nd,

Confusion arose by reason of

would receive compensatory time |
off when working beyond 40 hours
regardless of the fact that over-|
time was paid for such work,

The Directive

The original directive, as i.
sued by J. Edward Conway, P:
ident of the Civil Service Com-
mission, read:
| “By direction of the Governor,
administrative offices will be
closed on Saturday, July 2, 1949

“In the institutions, employees

the skeleton forces ordinarily re=
quired to maintain offices usually

Lyons Seeks Exempt Statu
For State Prison Wardens

ALBANY, July 11 — The State
Correction Department is seeking
approval from the Civil Service
Commission for placing the job
of Warden in the exempt class, the
LEADER learned this week,

Correction Commissioner John
A. Lyons says that he has person-
ally made the request and that he
hopes for a decision soon,

From Uniformed Ranks

‘This announcement comes after
ten month's delay in scheduling a
promotion examination for Ward-
en, There are five positions in
state prisons and correction in-
stitutions now vacant.

Commissioner Lyons said, “I

want the opportunity to choose
the best qualified persons from
the uniformed ranks as Warden.”
Early last September the Civil
Service Commission announced
that an examination for warden
would be held and that the dead-
line for applications was Oct, 11,
The job of warden pays $5,000 a
year, plus full maintenance,
Almost immediately protests
were lodged with the Civil Serv-
ice by administrative and profes-
sional employees in the Correc-
tion Department over the fact
that the promotion examination
was limited to custodial workers.

what extent do they apply to

ndamentals of acceptable acad-
nic policies and procedures, Al-
yugh the State University has

jy appointed a committee to
yiy these problems, He prom-
s that they will receive care-

es with two-year post-high-
tool courses, and professional
fhools, The staffs of these in-

professor is in much the same
position except that he has reg-

hours to keep for consultation
with students, The laboratory as-

ligation. No set of regulations
which establish uniform hours of
work can be applied in any one
of the 31 units in the State

Office staffs and maintenance
personnel have duties which re-
quire their presence at definite
times during the day and night.
Regular hours can be set up for
them with provisions for overtime,

Vacations, Holidays

Vacations and public holidays
also vary among the different
types of personnel. Educational
institutions provide for extended
vacation periods during the sum-
mer and shorter vacations at
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and
Easter, Because of this, teachers
have longer vacation periods than
do others who receive, as a rule,
a month’s vacation in addition

tutions choose to celebri

And the State University

Similar protien: exist with re-
spect to sick leaves and leaves
of absence with or without pay.
Insofar as there are any regula-
tions at all in institutions of high-
er learning they apply differently
to different types of personnel.

The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation regards as State em-
ployees all personnel paid out of
State funds. It is interested in
securing for those employed by
the State University as uniform
rules, according to civil service
standards, as the needs of higher
and professional education will al~
low. The Association recognizes
the necessity for different rules
for different types of personnel,

Committee Appointed

The committee appointed by
President Eurich of the State
University is to take all of these
matters into consideration in ad-
dition to matters relating to
academic policies and administra-
tion faculty relations, President
Eurich intends that the Civil Serv-
ice Employees Association shall
be consulted on civil service

matters.

ASSOCIATION FAVORS SANE VETERANS PREFERENCE

IT IS HARD to realize that the Citizens Committee,
including The Civil Service Employees Association, are
about the only real friends the veteran has today,

We believe that veteran preference should be continued
for the non-disabled veteran as well as for the disabled vet-
eran. We cannot understand the policy of those who would
permit all preference for the great majority of veterans to
be seriously reduced, as would happen if the Mitchell amend-
ment is not approved by the electors on November 8.

Let’s look at the facts. On December 31, 1950 all pref-
erence will cease for the great majority of the non-disabled
veterans and shortly thereafter it will end for the small
minority as they reach the constitutional limit of five years’
preference after honorable discharge. Legislation next year
cannot prevent the lapse of the limited constitutional
mandate,

Mitchell Amendment Would Operate Fairly

The Mitchell amendment will continue veteran pref-
erence. It is fair to the veteran, be he non-disabled or dis-
abled. It provides a point preference on examinations,
both for original appointment and for promotion, It gives
the disabled veteran a 10-point advantage in original appoint-
ment and a five-point advantage in promotion, The non-dis-
abled veteran is given half the preference accorded to the
disabled veteran or five points on original appointment and
2% points on promotion. Some measure of justice is accord-
ed the non-veteran candidate in limiting the preference to
one appointment or promotion, after which the merit sys-
tem proper begins to operate and fair competition is in-
creased,

The Mitchell amendment was passed by the Legislature
because it is favored and strongly supported by most vet-
erans, both inside and outside the American Legion. It has
the support of a large number of leading citizen organiza-
tions who wish to keep government as a chief instrument
for the promotion of public harmony and the general wel-
fare of all the people, rather than an instrument of special
privilege. The Citizens Committee joins with many veterans

| in advocating a fair and reasonable preference similar to

the general pattern in the Federal Government and in many
States,

Everyone Is urged to Vote

It is most unfortunate that the present veteran pref-
erence provision was approved by only a minority of the
voters. More than 214 million ballots were reported as blank
and void; 621,436 persons voted for the amendment; 587,217
voted against it. Great issues should not be settled by de-
fault. I urge everyone to vote.

STATE AND COUNTY NEWS

Salient Points About
Freeze of County Pay

As county and city employees
throughout the State are seeking
upward pay adjustments, mostly
as freezing of bonuses, and de-
cisions are about to be made,
salient points should be borne in
mind,

Public employees, like other
middie and low income families,
are still paying about 70 per cent
more for their daily food, cloth-
ing and shelter, than they did in
1940,

The earnings of production
workers in private industry aver-
aged $52.62 in mid-April, 1949,
the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics reports, a 110 per cent in-
crease over the 1940 weekly aver-
age of $25.20. Industrial wages
have kept closer step with rising
living costs than have govern-
mental salaries, which are pro-
verbially sticky. Government

buying power in terms of 1949
prices,

Salary increases for NYC em-
Ployees varied, the larger per-
centage increases going to the
lower paid employees.

Most progressive governmental
bodies have followed the practice
of granting temporary bonus or

cost-of-living adjustments while; Headed by “Ma” Kelley, chapter

there was uncertainty about the
“permanent” rise in living costs
and comparable pay scales.
soon as it became evident that the
changes in the prices of neces-
sities and general wage scales
were relatively stable, the ad-
justments necessitated by these
changes were also made perman-
ent. The current large and rel-
atively stable increases in living
costs and industrial pay scales
underscore the need to transform
temporary wage bonuses into per-
manent salary adjustments.

There Is a Limit

Because the law is designed
Hrimarily to benefit the average
State and municipal employee, ad-
ditional contributions are not al-
lowed on salary in excess of
7,500 a year.

: ‘The additional contributions will
earn the normal retirement fund

(This does not apply to New

Members may discontinue the
additional contribution after one
year by filing a notice to that
effect with the Comptroller. How-
ever, the additional contributions
cannot be withdrawn unless the
member leaves the System before
retirement and withdraws all his
contribution.

STATE AND COUNTY NEWS

(Continued from Page 1)
went into effect February 16, sub-
ject to approval of the Commis-
sion and of the State Classification
Board. In announcing the plan,
State Industrial Commissioner
Corsi said:

‘The move, and others to fol-
low, is designed to enable the
division to provide better and
more efficient service to the
public.”

The reorganization was worked
out at Mr. Corsi’s direction by
Thomas F, Moore, ,Jr., first deputy
industrial commissioner, along with
Milton O. Loysen, executive direct-
or of the division, and Thomas L.
Evans, who directed a survey of
the division’s operations,

No Gain Seen in New Tests

Pointing out that little would
be gained by holding a new series
of examinations across the board
in the reorganization, Mr. Camp-
bell said it has been noted that:

“If new promotion examinations
were held for these hew titles,
the normal line of prdémotion
would be exactly the line of pro-
motion for the present promotion
éligible lists In each case. Thus,
the same people would be com-
peting for the new titles as com-
peted for the old titles and the
principal difference would be that
new examinations, in part, would
touch on both placement and in-
surance, Whereas the present eli-
gible lists were confined to one
or the other,”

Details of Reorganization

Here are the details of how
the reorganization is to be ac-
compiished on a permanent basis,
as reported by the Civil Service
vepartment:

1) Employment Security District
Superintendent (G-28)

This is a new position and the
duties roughly combine the du-
ties performed in the past by
Flacement and U. I, Supern-
tendents and U. L Assistant
Field Superintendents, There
will be 7 such positions, and it
is proposed that they be filled
from existing promotion  eli-
gible lists tor—(a) Assistant
Duwector of Employment (G-32),
and (b) Associate U. I. Field
Superintendent (G-28).

While the examinations held
for these 2 promotion eligible
lists covered placement and in~
surance functions respectively,
a very large part of both ex-
aminations involved administra-
tive functions and not techni-
cal functions, ‘lhe same Exam-
ination Board served in both
examinations, Therefore, it does
not seem unreasonable to de-
clare that these 2 promotion
eugsole lists are both appro-
priate for filling the new title,

‘kne question of the order in
which these lists shall be used
is more difficult. On the basis
of a preliminary survey, how-
ever, it is expected that every
person on-these 2 lists, with
the exception of 2 on the As-
sistant Director's list, will either
be appointed or decline appoint~
ment, the declinations being
primarily on the basis that the
eligibles are settled in New York
City and will not come upstate.
If this should prove to be true,
the question of priority of use
of these 2 promotion lists is of
little moment. Of the 2 persons
who will be left on the Assistant
Director list, neither is a vet-

DPUI Changes

Await

eran and they could be passed
over in any canvass for ap-
pointment.
2)Assistant Employment Security
District Superintendent (G-26)
It has been proposed that
these 6 positions be filled by
transfer, without further test,
of persons who are already per-
manently employed in either (1)
Placement and U. I Superin-
tendent (G-26), or (2) U. I. As-
sistant Fiela Superintenaent
(G-26). A preliminary survey
would seem to indicate that
every person, permanently in
these 2 titles, who is willing to
accept transfer to the new title
in an upstate area, can be so
transferred. Since the galary
is the same, most of the in-
cumbents of the present titles
will continue under those titles
in_ the Metropolitan Area or

_ job
lists,
There will remain, however,
promotion lists on our books
for Placement and U. I. Super-
intendent, containing 20 names,
and for U. I. Assistant Field
Superintendent, containing 26
names. It the proposed trans~-
fers are approved, i follows
that these promotion lists are
both appropriate for future
vacancies. The difficult prob-
lem is to determine how they
shall be used,

Since the promotion exam-
inations, resulting these 2 lists,
were again largely on admin~
istrative problems instead of
technical problems; both exam-
inations held by the same Ex-

(above) from promotion

same salary grade, the difficulty
of the examinations might be
considered equal and the eli-
gible lists combined on the
basis of the ratings of the can-
didates. This would seem to
be a most equitable arrangement
if it can be legally accomplished.
If not, some other device would
have to be approved for the
order of use of the eligible lists.
Senior Employment Security
Manager (Class A)

‘There will be 3 of these posi-
tions and there are, at present,
3 Senior Employment Managers
in the upstate area, If these 3
are transferred to the new titles
without further examination,
no one else's rights can be in
any way affected. There is no
title of Senior W. I, Manager
filled on a permanent basis,
There is a list for Senior Em-
ployment Manager, which, by
the same reasoning used above,
would then be available for
filling future vacancies.

4) Employment Security Manager
(Class B)

There will be 27 such positions
and there are, at present, 27
permanent Employment Man-
agers or U. I. Managers. It is
Proposed to transfer these with-
out further test, There are lists
also for Employment Manager
and U, I. Manager and, here
again, it is proposed to combine
these lists on the same basis
as outlined under (2) above,

5) Assistant Employment Security
Manager (Class C)

For the 23 positions of this
type, there are no comparable
jobs in the present reorganiza-
tion and a promotion examina-
tion would have to be held for
filling these titles.

Is Merit Slumping
On the Local Level?

N JULY 1, 1942, the Fite law extending classified

civil service to the counties, towns and villages of
New York State, went into effect, After long years of
struggle by the Association of State Civil Service Em-
ployees and other citizens interested in good govern-
ment, the way was finally cleared to bring the merit
system to the localities,

What has happened in the years since the adoption
of this law? What is the state of the merit system in
the cities and counties today?

A tentative answer can be found in the summary of
the 1948 annual reports of the local Civil Service Com-
missions, prepared by the Municipal Inspection Unit of
the State Civil Servce Commission,

®

Heart of the Merit System

The heart of the merit system is that employees of
governmental units shall be recruited and promoted for
their merit and fitness. These are to be ascertained,
as far as practicable, by competitive examination. During
1948, the total number of classified employees in the cities
and counties of New York (excluding New York City)
was 86,009. Slightly more than two out of every five (44
per cent) of these workers were in the competitive class
while nearly three out of every five (56 per cent) were
in the non-competitive, exempt or labor classes,

Far to Go

The merit system is by no means fully established in
the localities. This becomes strikingly evident when it
is revealed that only one out of three county employees
(82 per cent) are competitive appointees. While this
figure is weighted by the number of laboring positions in
county highway departments and other labor and part-
time jobs, it, nevertheless, remains seriously low. Two out
of eve three city appointees (64 per cent) are
competitive.

Another significant sidelight is thrown on these fig-
ures by the fact that the percent of competitive employ-
ees out of the total classified employees remained almost.
stationary between 1945 and 1948 (48-44 per cent).
This was a period which saw the addition of about 13,000
workers to city and county payrolls,

Direct Action Necessary

These facts point to the need for direct and neces-
sary action. If the merit system is to take firmer hold
and survive in the localities, the number of competitive
employees must be greatly increased, The rate of ex-
pansion of this type of employee must be accelerated.
Every position that can possibly be transferred from an
exempt or non-competitive class should be reclassified.
In most localities, a complete resurvey and reclassification
of all jobs is in order,

The Si ivil Service Commission bears a heavy
responsibil s regard. Under the provisions of the
Fite law, the actions of the local commissions are subject
to the approval of the State commission, The law is ex-
plicit on the question of classification:

“The commission having jurisdiction of such civil division shall
ermine for what, positions or class of positions competitive

examinations shall be prac ble and shall classify or reclassify
the various positions and adopt rules and regulations, subject
only to the approval of the state civil service commission, tor
the administration of the civil service law within its jurisdiction”

(paragraph 4, Chapter 855, Laws of 1941),

The State Commission is thus in a strong position to
correct and adjust many inequities and misapplications,

Local employees and local citizens interested in
efficient good government also have a stake in the proper
application of the merit system. They should make it
unmistakably clear to both the State and local civil
service commissions that every position in government
employment be filled as far as practicable (read, where-

Welfare Dept.
Summer
Hours Begin

A special summer schedule for
employees of the Welfare Depart-
ment permits all but a skeleton
staff an extra hour off each day
until September 2,

An official Welfare Department
memorandum reads:

‘From July 5 through Septem-
ber 2, the Department of Welfare
will operate with a skeleton staff
from 4 p.m, to 5 p,m, Monday
through Friday. This is pursuant
to section B40-12.0 of the Ad-
ministrative Code of the City of
New York,”

Here is how the new schedule
will operate:

Each staff member will be re-
quired to serve on the skeleton
staff one day a week during the
period, Staff members who are
required to work after 4 p.m, on
days on which they are not
scheduled to serve on the special
staff shall be credited with over-
time beginning at 4 p.m.

Rule on Supper Money

Employees will not be entitled
to supper money unless they are
required to work until 7 p.m, with-
out time out for supper, or until
8 p.m. with one hour for supper,
the memorandum said,
The new order, which affects be-
tween 5,000 and 6,000 employees,
includes the announcement that
afternoon rest periods will be
eliminated during the period of
the schedule, except for one fif-
teen-minute rest period for Trans-
cribing Typists and Telephone
Operators.

Tn addition, the memorandum
pointed out that “those locations
where the working hours are other
than from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. shall
operate with a skeleton staff dur-
ing the last hour of their work-
ing day.”

Fireman List for Police?
Editor, The LEADER:
Applications will soon be ac-
cepted for the NYC Patrolman,
(P.D.), test. This, I think, is a
great waste of time and money.
There is a list of more than 6,000
men on the Fireman, (F.D.), list
which was published recently,
There is very little, if any, dif-
ference between the requirements,
physically and mentally, for these
two positions,

I suggest, that the present Fire-
man list be declared appropriate
for Patrolman, I am sure the
eligibles on the Fireman list
would approve.

The action was brought by 26
Attendance Officers when the

What Employees Should Know

Getting Around The Unwritten Self-Appointment Law

By THEODORE BECKER

THERE IS an unwritten law
which holds that a public agency
can't appoint one of its own mem-
bers to another appointive posi-
tion — even if it has the power
to do so,

Question: Is it possible to get
around this situation?

More than a quarter of a cen-
tury ago, the courts in this state
held illegal an attempt by a town
board to appoint one of its mem-
bers to the office of police justice.
‘The illegality was not deemed af-
fected by the fact that the ap-
pointee’s own vote was necessary
to elect, The basis for the ruling
was set forth by the court in the
following language:

“It is against good conscience
that a board with appointing pow-
er should appoint one of its own
members to office, Such practice,
even when not forbidden by
specific enactment, and when the
vote of the appointee is not neces-
sary to the appointment, is against
public morals, It cannot but re-
sult in evil.” (Wood v. Whitehall,
120 Misc. 124, aff'd. 206 App.
Div, 786).

Effect of Eligible List

Attempts to whittle down the

‘-/effect of the Wood Case, on the

basis of exceptions to the generai
rule, have been made from time
to time, For example, the question
has been raised whether or not

Case, on the assumption that the
board involved had a choice of
more than one eligible on the
list, He said:

“It is the writer’s view that the
danger of partiality against which
the law raises a safeguard not
removed because one of the mem-
bers of the board takes a civil
service examination, when the
power of appointment still re-
mains in the board from which
the member plans to resign and
carries with it the right to make
a choice,”

Effect of Prior Resignation

In a 1944 informal opinron the
Attorney-General had indicated
that resignation prior to appoint-
ment would not avoid the con-
sequences of the rule against self-
appointment of a board member.
However, in a court case decided
late last year, the Supreme Court
in Cattaraugus County came to a
contrary conclusion,

The case involved a former
member of a town board who,
after resignation from that body,
Was appointed by it to fill out the
term of a prior incumbent who
had died, After filing his oath
of office and taking the other steps
to qualify, the new appointee
sought to participate in the pro-
ceedings of the county board of
supervisors by virtue of his office,
There he was denied particip:
tion on the ground that his ap-
pointment to the town board had
been improper,

The court noted that there was
nothing in the papers to show
the new appointee had used his
official influence to obtain the
appointment; that his own town
has not challenged his appoint-
ment; that there is no statutory
restriction against the Town
Board appointing one of its ex-
members; that the Wood Case
did not involve a member who
had resigned; that the appointee
has other functions as a town
official; and that if there is any
question as to the appointee's
title to his office this can be
settled in a direct court action,
Such issue should not be handled
Indirectly by refusal to recognize
the appointee’s membership in the
county board of supervisgrs, Ac-
cordingly, the Court held the ap-
pointee entitled to participate in
the ‘proceedings of such board

tests which will be held on Sat-
urday, July 23, was marked last
‘Thursday by speeches by William
F, McDonough, executive rep-

Helen Whipple, stant Train-
ing Director, DPUI. Above 600
candidates were present,

Mr. McDonough, having been
informed that some of the State
employees present were not mem-
bers of the Association, recounted
achievements of the Association,
told about the principal objectives
for the coming year, and en-
couraged all non-members to join,
so that united strength will pro-
duce even greater results,

He greeted the students, on be-
half of the Association headquar-
ters, and aided John Files and
Martin J, Duignan in introduc-
ing persons on the dais to one
another,

Miss Whipple spoke on the
functions and operations of the
Placement activities of the Divy-
ision of Placement and Unemploy-
ment Insurance, State Department
of Labor,

The session was held at the
Central Commercial High Schcol,
East 42d Street, NYC. Donald
Bowen, chairman of the training
course committee, introduced the
speakers to the audience,

Responsibility of Employees

Mr. McDonough stressed the
importance of sound civil govern-
ment to the progress of civiliz:
tion and of a fully applied merit
system to the efficiency and in-
tegrity of government on all levels,

“Government is not only the
jargest business in the nation but
the most important business,” he
said. “The loyal civil vi
chosen under the merit sys!
forming the day-to-day task of
government without regard to
changes in elected heads, is the
sole hope of efficiency and econ-
omy in government,

“The civil service employee lives
in a glass house, All of his faults
are carefully observed, He is the
object of an ever consta
war inspired by the
few for political favoritism
profit through political office,
Nevertheless, the person seeking
@ career in public service can at-
tain success and a high degree of
happiness in his work by unyield-
ing devotion to self-improvement

a if

WILLIAM F. McDONOUGH

and watchfulness of opportunity
within the service,

“The civil service employee
needs a strong worker organization
even more than workers in in-
dustry. He constitutes a resource
of government. He has a right to ~
participate and to contribute
unitedly to the success of govern-
ment. He has a responsibility to
develop, through organization, a
way to cooperate with manage-
ment in government,

“The Civil Service Employees
Association initiated and urged
upon legislatures and executives
throughout many years and ob-
tained the adoption of each of
the present safeguards,

“Much remains to be done,
Despite improvement in person-
nel administration in State sery-
ice and in the sub-divisions of
State government, there is ser-
ious lack of application of the
merit system in recruitment and
promotion, Almost 25 percent of
present State employees are out-
side of the competitive class of
civil service which is the heart
of the merit system,

“In m litte
age is Federal stat-
istics show that there are some
$50,000 civil servic employees
within New York S Exe
for some 180,000 of these, all are
in the service of the State or one
or the other of its sub-divisions,
T believe that at least 95 per cent
of all of these workers should,
under constitutional mandate, be
in the competitive class.”

pared an analysis of the effect

dill would substitute a point sys-
tem for the present absolute vet-
eran preference.

points,

Last week the first installment
was published. It included List-
ing 1, the list as published, in the
order of percentages, and Listing

Wide Percentage Spread
The last disabled veteran on the
eligible list is Thomas F. Willoe
(6394) with a percentage of 70,70.
Under the present law, he will be
563 on the revised list. No. 1 on
the list as published is Albert A.
Jensen, a non-disabled veteran
with a percentage of 97.20, who
will become No. 564. All other
non-disabled yeterans, regardless

of how high their percentages, will
follow on the list.

Opposition to Mitchell Bill

There are two groups who may
oppose the Mitchell bill at the
coming election:

1, The veteran who feels that
the bill does not give him suffici-
ent preference and hopes for the
introduction and passage of anew
bill giving more,

We know that the average vet-
eran feels that the Mitchell bill
is fair. This is particul
of the veterans in the legislature,
as evidenced by the fact that they
refused to consider any other
proposal at the last session and
that 14 of the 17 veterans in the
Senate and 34 of the 48 vet-
erans in the Assembly voted in
favor of the Mitchell Bill. More-
over, Governor Dewey endorsed
the Mitchell bill as did Paul Fitz~
patrick, the Democratic State
leader.

2, The non-veteran who is of
the opinion that the Mitchell bill
gives the veteran too much pref-
erence,

While there may be some merit
to these contentions, particularly
in entrance examinations, it must
be admitted that the veteran is
entitled to some consideration and
it appears that the Mitchell bill

5 |is the best compromise, Non-vet-
5 |erans must keep in mind that the

benefit to be derived under this
bill can be used only once, i.e., if
used in an entrance examination,
it cannot be used in a promotional
examination, or if used in one

UNAPOC Says Hearings
Reveal Who Are Its Friends

WASHINGTON, July 11 — The
House sub-committee hearings on
postal pay legislation have brought
out enough to enable the United
National Association of Post Of-
fice Cler! to “recognize our
champions,” said William C, Am-
brust, national president.

Legislators heard by the sub-
committee were listed by Mr. Am-
brust as follows

‘Thomas J. Lane, of Massachu-
setts, who has three bills in the
hopper on salary increases and
other legislation.

George M, Rhodes, of Pennsyl-
vania, who has four such bills
listed under his name, but en-
dorsed H. R, 4495, the Miller bill,
He dwelt at length on the needs
of postal employees and the ex-
cellent service they are rendering,
“and credit. should be given this
gentleman for a remarkable pres-
entation of testimon:

Chester C, Gorski, of New York,
the author of two bills, and Ar-
thur G. Klein, of New York, also
the sponsor of two bills, one of
which calls for an increase in

annual salary of $1,100, both
spoke “strongly in our behalf.”

With the testimony of Congress-
man Thurman C. Crook partly
completed, Chairman Murray
called an adjournment,

The next day Representative
Crook testified for an hour on
the necessity of raising postal em-
ployees' pay. He cited instances
where employees had to resort to
outside industry to augment their
meager earnings on the job, He
said “the postal service is one of
the finest services in the country
and proper recognition should be
given the ever-faithful clerk and
carrier who has made the serv-
ice what it is today.”

Miller is Praised

Chairman Murray interrupted
Congressman Crook several times
during his presentation to ask
about the cost to the departinent
if raises were granted and also
to quote the Postmaster General's
statement that no salary increases
should be granted without first
considering a raise in postal rates.

Next heard was Congressman
George P. Miller, of California,

“He opened his testimony with
a great deal of forcefulness and
placed the blame for the stalling
tactics of the House of Repre-
sentatives squarely on-the should-
ers of the Committee,” said Mr.
Ambrust. “He stated that it has
taken 18 months to study and
present a true reclassification bill

Rule on Appeals

In U, S&S. disciplinary appeals
oral and written information
are both permissible, but no in-
formation orally received will be
accepted for the purpose of reach-
ing a decision unless received in
the presence of an employee who
is appealing or his representative,
so that an opportunity for ques-
tioning may be had,

The employee who is appealing
may waive an oral hearing, and the
decision may be maae on the basis
of written information — only.
Though the Appeals Board may
have proceeded with information
submitted in writing it may never-
theeless order an oral hearing at
anytime before rendering a de-
cision on a appeal

when the whole matter could have
been completed in 18 days. He
stated further that the Committee
does not have the courage to put
over and present on the floor
proper legislation to adequately
care for the needs of postal em-
ployees,

“In all of the Congressmen
heard so far, especially Congress-
man Miller and Rhodes, we have
the greatest champions of all
times. .Not enough can be said
and done to urge these gentle-~
men to carry on the fight, so
please write again and encourage
them, They can be reached at
the House Office Building, Wash-
ington, D. C.”

UNAPOC seeks passage of ELR.
4395, introduced by Congressman
Lyle of Texas, H. R, 4495 by Con-
gressman Hagen of Minnesota and
HLR, 4595 by Congressman Miller
of California, The three bills are

in the cost of living. Chairman
Tom Murray of Tennessee, de-
fended the reard of congress
regarding the employee as being
both fair and ljberal.

Meanwhile it has become ap-

parent that the House sub-com-
mittee conducting public Hear-

islation and other benefits has
little sympathy with any adequate
increase. Chairman Murray sel-

Observers were shocked when
the group comprising the sub-

and cgfticized their colleagues of
the full committee appearing to
testify for pay boosts. One of the
members, Representative George
P, Rhodes, of Pennsylvannia, was
swojected to lengthy questioning
on several bills he had introduced
and was interrupted in his state-
ment supporting a minor re-class-
ification bill, It developed that
Representative Rhodes was in-
strumental, in part in bringing
about the hearings.

E, Carton of the Patrolmen’s Ben-
evolent Association, and others,
in the suit brought by a group of
Patrolmen for au accounting of
the funds of the 1948 PBA ball,
was upheld by Supreme Court
Justice Peter M. Daly in Queens
county.

The complaint alleges that the
total receipts were about $100,000
and the PBA members have never
been apprised of what was done
with the money,

‘The representative plaintiff is
Patrolman Lander Hamilton, who
is joined by about twenty others,
while the total number of PBA
members backing the suit is sald
to be about 1,000, Saul Radin of
37 Wall Street, is counsel to the
complainants.

What Court Held

‘The court's opinion follows:

“Hamilton v. Patrolmen’s Beney-
olent Ass'n of the City of N. ¥.—
The defendants challenge the legal
sufficiency of the plaintiff's
amended complaint, pursuant to
subdivision 5 of Rule 106 of the
Rules of Civil Practive,

“Viewing the challenged plead-
ing with the liberaity commanded
by the statute (sec, 275, C, P. A),
Tam of the opinion that the pres-
ent complaint states @ cause of

action, assuming of course the
truth ‘of the pleaded allegations
of fact, as we must upon a mo-
tion of this character.

“Every intendment and fair in-
ference favors a pleading chal-
lenged for legal insufficiency vere
er v. Broadway Central Bank, 25:

N, Y., 430, 432). If a piaintltt 1 4
entttied to recover on any theory
of the facts pleaded, the motion to
dismiss for legal insufficiency must
be denied (Abrams y. Allen, 297
N. ¥., 52; Condon v. Associated

Hospital Service of N. Y., 287 N.
Y., 411, 414).
“The motion must be denied

even where the plaintiff cannot
obtain all the relief sought, so
long as the facts pleaded may en-
title him to some of the relief
(Steisel v. Gratzer, 272 App. Div.,
673, 74 N. ¥. S., 2d, 654), In
other words, the motion to dis-
miss for legal insufficlency ‘must
fail if the facts stated in the
complaint are sufficient to con-
stitute any case of action’ (Corn-
Diy., 1037, 63 N. Y. 8. 2d, 99).
ehlsen v. Dudensing, 270 App.
The motion is accordingly denied,
the defendants to serve their an-
swer within ten days after the
service of a copy of the order to
be entered hereon.”

in the New —_ County

By MORTON YARMON

An important change in the
regulations applying to the pro-
cessing of veteran preference
claims was made by the NYC
Civil Service Commission in the
interest of avoiding delay in the
“| promulgation of eligible lists,

One of the principal factors in
Res-|delaying promulgation — which
is the act that makes a list use-
ful and official — has been in-
activity on delayed preference
claims. The delayed claims are
those made after the eligible list
is published or after a previous

fas been denied, Not until
«ticient number of clearances
are obtained to cope with the
numerical requirements of the
first certification is the promul-
gation made. Delayed claims thus
have held up lists for weeks and
sometimes months,

As to the veterans who have
delayed claims, their benefits
would be postponed, although not
cancelled, by application of the

new regulation, which sets a time
limit. Heretofore there was no
specified limit, Th new procedure
provides that if the Veterans Ad-
ministration doesn’t give clear-
ance within a month, the veteran
is to be notified, and should at-
tempt to expedite action on the
claim, After another month
making a total of two months —
the preference claim is subject to

Loser of Court Case

Proves to Be

Only one name is on the eli-
gible list for promotion to Register,
Office of the City Register, and
it’s that of Lewis Orgel, First Dep-
uty Register. As the list has few-
er than three names, the ap-
pointing officer would have the
privilege of not using it, but is
expected to waive that and put
an end to disputes,

Two attacks on the examina-
tion were made in the Supreme
Court, One was by Samuel Good-
man, & Mortgage Tax Examiner,
who maintained that eligibility
should have been made broad
enough to include his title. First
Deputy Register and Assistant
Deputy Register were the Only
eligible titles allowed by the NYC
Civil Service Commission. As a
result, five candidates competed,

Orgel Loses and Wins

Mr. Orgel, in the second suit,
contended that the only eligible
title should have been his own,
Though he lost the suit before
Justice Benjamin F. Schreiber,
he found out, when the list was
published following the court de-
cision, that his legal efforts had
been unnecessary, Mr, Goodman
lost, too, but without any con-
solation,

Intervenors, who sided with the
Commision that had admitted them
to the examination, were Assistant
Deputy Registers James A. Beak-
ey, The Bronx; John C. Crowley,
Kings; John Gamble, New York,
and Arthur Duffy, Queens. They
could have benefited, had they |
made the list, especially had any
attained a score higher than Mr.
Orgel’s 86,6 final average. So,
though they won their law sui
aided by State Senator Sidney A.
Fine as attorney, they lost out in
the exam, the opposite to Mr,
Orgel’s experience.

Court’s Opinion
Justice Schreiber disposed of
the legal contentions in an

opinion:

“To uphold Orgel’s contention
would be inconsistent with the
requirement of section 1051 of the
New York City Charter that the
city register shall be appointed
as the result of a competitive ex-
amination, for Orgel claims he
alone is eligible for promotion.

“Section 16 of the Civil Serv-
jee Law provides that promotion
shall be made from persons hold-
ing positions in a lower grade in
the department in which the va-
cancy exists. No grades are spec-
ified in the department in which
the offices of register, first dep-
uty register and assistant deputy
register are classified, If the or-
dinary test of the compensation
applicable to the office is ap-
plied, the assistants deputy reg-
ister are in the next grade below
the office of register, since the
compensation of their positions is
the next lower compensation be-
low that of register (excluding
positions which have nothing to
do with the office of register),

Commission Upheld

“Furthermore, subdivision 16 of
Rule V, Section X, of the rules of
the commission, authorizes the
commission, to open examination
to persons in two or more lower
grades, thus creating an excep-
tion’ to subdivision 4 of the same
rule and section which limits eli-
gibility for promotion ordnarily

to persons who have served in
the next lower grade or rank.
Whether the assistants deputy
register are treated as being in
the next lower grade is immaterial,
in view of the provisions of sub-
division 16 (supra),

“The court holds that the com-
mission had the right, in endeay-
oring to comply with the require-
ment of section 1051 of the char-
ter that the examination be com-
petitive, to open the examination
and eligibility to promotion to the
assistant deputy register instead
of limiting eligibilty to the first
deputy register to the exclusion of
all others,

“The court further holds that
Petitioner Goodman has failed to
establish that the action of the
commission in not extending eli-
gibility for promotion to mortgage
tax deputies is arbitrary, cap-
ricious, whimsical and without
substantial basis. Insufficient is
shown to justify the court's sub-
stitution of its own ideas as to
who should be eligible to pro-
motion for those of the commis-
sion. The matter is one peculiarly
for the commission to decide ac-
cording to its specialized and ex-
pert judgment.”

Deadline on Delayed Vet Preference
Voted to Expedite Eligible Lists

ance from the VA, However, if
the clearance finally aoes come
through, the preie:ence would be
in effect as of then, but not re=
troactively, It may always be ef-
fective, if validatea, any time prior

Official Vext

The official text of the new rege
ulation follows:

“1, A delayed claim is a claim
for veteran preference or disabled
veteran preierence which has been
filed by a claimant after the pub-
Mcation of an eligible list upon
which the game of the claimant
appears, or a case where a claim
of veteran preference or disabled
veteran preference has been denied
previously and a new claim has
been subsequently filed by the
claimant,

“2. In the case of all such dew
Jayed claims the Veteran Service
Bureau will not take affirmative
action in connection with making
any entry upon the eligible list
in respect thereto unless and until
such delayed claim has been com=
pletely processed and action taken
thereon by the Commission on its
calendar,

“3. In all cases of delayed claims
where a return has not been made
by the Veterans Administration
within a period of one month from.
the time that the necessary
Papers were forwarded by the
Veteran Service Bureau to the
Veterans Administration, a warn-
ing letter shall be sent to the
claimant advising him of that
fact and advising him to com~
municate with the appropriate
Veterans Administration Office in
respect to his claim,

“4, After a period of one month
from such warning letter if no
return has been made by the
Veterans Administration, the Vet~
eran Service Bureau shall be
authorized to recommend the de-
nial of such claim for failure to
have it processed within a reason
able time.”

List of

The LEADER continues this
week the serial publication of the
NYC Fireman (F\D.) eligible list,
in the order of probable appoint-
ment. This listing, prepared by
The LEADER, is the only one
published that indicates where
& candidate actually stands on
the list. The arrangement of
names, in order of percentages,
as supplied by the Civil Service
Commission, does not take into
consideration the effect’ of vet-
eran preference because vet pref-
erence claims have not been clear-
ed.

The list below ‘assumes all vet
preference claims granted, and
other investigation satisfactorily
passed count down from the
number at the head of a para-
graph to ascertain probable ap-
pointment order not specifically
enumerated. The order of stand-
ing as sent to the candidate by
the Commission is to be ignored.

The Dime’ of Brooklyn
To Start Baby Banking
Windows This Month

Another exclusive service, baby
carriage banking has been an-
nounced by the Dime Savings
Bank of Brooklyn. “The Dime”
is the first Savings Bank in
Greater New York to offer the
innovation,

Canopied outdoor windows for
“baby banking” are now under
construction at “The Dime'’s” con-
venient branch offices in Flat-
bush and Beneonhurst, Brooklyn,
Deposits and withdrawals may be
handled at these windows with
ease and despatch.

Designed primarily for mothers
of small children, the baby car-
riage banking plan will relieve
Parents of many fears for their
babies’ safety and welfare. The
dangers of falls and accidents
are virtually eliminated, since par-
ents may keep a watchful eye
upon their infantss while trans-
acting their business at “The
Dimie”.

The baby carriage banking win-
dows are located on the Coney
Island Avene side of the bank’s
Flatbush branch (Avenue J and
Coney Island Avenue), and on
86th Street at the Bensonhurst
Office (86th Street and 19th Ave-
nue), and will be opened to the
Public the latter part of the
month.

This service is the latest in a
long series of “Dime” firsts. With
& 90-year record of service to the
community behind it, “The Dime”
can point with pride to a pion-
eering attitude that has resulted
in such services as the amortized,
pay-like-rent mortgage plan, the
free parking facilities at the Main
Office at Fulton Street and De-
Kalb Avenue in Brooklyn, and the
unique Home Buyers Exhibition,
also at the main office, which has

AFL Employee Unions Meet,
Support O'Dwyer-DeGraff

Career and S

A special meeting of the New
York District Council No. 37
American Federation of State,
Ceunty and Municipal Employees
(AFL) will be held on Thursday,
July 14, at 5 p.m. for the purpose
of discussion and_ information
about Mayor O'’Dwyer's new
Career and Salary Plan,

Henry Feinstein, president of
the local, said that material is
available to all local presidents in
advance at Room 2017, Municipal
Building, New York City. It is
available from Assistant Secretary
Marie Anzalone,

Stake in Good Government

Mr. Feinstein, who has been
strongly behind the Mayor on this
Plan, has told the leaders of the
AFL locals in the City that ‘you
have a stake in good government,

of strength!

‘That's the gas and electric business
in this country! Turn page after
(page in our new review of the in-
‘dustry—"Utilities"—and you'll see
why it’s a business that must always
grow with our living standards,
population—can’t even be hurt
much by depression because
houses still haye to be heated,
meals cooked, rooms lighted.

‘That's why we think there’s so
much interest in this industry now
—why we feel you might want a
copy of “Utilities” yourself.
1) It starts with a brief history

of gas and electricity, traces
their tremendous growth since
World War I. Then it focuses on
electricity .. . cites facts and forces
affecting cost trends, sales, produc:
tion, outlook.

‘There's a clear explanation of
the “peak load problem”—and
how it’s solved .,. a good look at
government competition, the REA,
and their influence on the industry.

‘Then the booklet does much the
same thing for gas... stresses im-
portant factors to consider
points up the startling expansion
expected as natural resources are

exploited,
) It covers government regu:
lations on returns, tells why
the “death clause” of the Holding
Company Act often means new life
—and shows by actual example how
earnings on the common stock
capitalization of a utility can easily
run to well over 10%!

The booklet ends with some
general advice to investors . . . lists
selected issues for four different
objectives . . . and gives detailed
reasons for choosing each issue.

If you already own public uti
securities, or have “just been wait-
ing” for a sound opportunity to
invest, we think you should read
“Utilities”. It tells a powerful story
—and is yours for the asking, Just
write—

and this plan is the greatest at-
tempt in 50 years to improve city
government, and correct the job-
jumble under which most City
2mployees operate. The Mayor
showed his complete sincerity by
getting the best man in the coun-
try to direct the study, John T.
DeGraff.
‘Stick to the Subject’

Mr. Feinstein also demanded
that a two-man committee set up
to hear interested groups on the
Career and Salary Plan “stick to
the subject — which is the setting
up of safeguards for the employ-
ees under the proposed plan.

“There is no reason for talking
about a thousand irrelevant mat-
ters. The Mayor has given as-
surances that employees will be
fully protected. Now-he wants to
hear what protections we seek,
We strongly condemn any at-
tempt to make a talkathon out
of the hearings or use them as
a delaying action. The sooner we
zet started, the sooner will this
great event get under the way, and
the sooner will it be finished.” The
committee hearings will be held
before Civil Service Commission

Declaring that a deadline of
July 11 for requesting permission
to speak at the preliminary hea®

Career and Pay Plan Was too
short a notice, Budget Director
Thomas J. Patterson and Presi-
dent Joseph A. McNamara of the
NYC Civil Service Commission
have extended the date to Friday,
July 15, at 4 p.m.

Doubts regarding the scope of
the hearings and tHe types of
speakers were resolved by Mayor
O'Dwyer after President McNam-
ara had conferred with him, Mr.
McNamara said. Only City em-
ployees, or representatives of
City employees organizations, will
he heard. The time limit on each
speaker is 20 minutes, but the
subject matter of discussion 1s
not restricted, except that it
should have something to do with
the pending Career and Pay Plan,
said President McNamara.

The hearings will start on
Wednesday morning, July 20, and
continue as long as necessary,
but to avoid having them po:
pone actual work on the reclassi-
fication project too long, they will
he held frequently enough to wind
up the preliminaries within three
weeks, Mr. McNamara estimated.

City employees and the represen-
tatives of City employee organiza-

claim. It is my opinion that the Career and Pay Plan will
go down in history as among the two or three top achieve-
ments of the O’Dwyer administration.”

THE CIVIL SERVICE TECHNICAL GUILD favors
the plan. Philip Brueck, President of the Guild, has re-
ceived the Mayor’s assurance that an upgrading of en-
gineers, now pending, will not be held up while the new
system is being put into operation.

THE POLICE LIEUTENANT BENEVOLENT AS-
SOCIATION through its president, Joseph J. Regan, ex-
presses its support of the plan “‘to set up the arPangement
of City jobs in some sort of decent order and system.”

THE UNIFORMED FIREMEN’S ASSOCIATION
President, John P. Crane, says, “knowing Mr. DeGraff,
we know that he will conform to Mayor O’Dwyer's policy
of maintaining adequate working and wage standards for
civil service employees of the City.’ (Mr. DeGraff has
been appointed the Director of this new study).

THE JOINT BOARD OF SANITATION LOCALS,
AFL: “This is in line with our great Mayor’s policy
toward Civil Service.” — Herbert Bauch, President of
Clerical Union 1140.

THE CORRECTION OFFICERS BENEVOLENT
ASSOCIATION, through its president, Richard Walsh,
announces its approval of.the plan.

THE PROBATION AND PAROLE OFFICERS
ASSOCIATION hails the plan through President Lloyd
V. Thomson, as “ a long overdue step in the right direc-
tion” and endorses the Mayor’s action in approving it as
holding promise for the remedy of long-standing
grievances.

THE CITIZENS UNION commends the Mayor for
his leadership in the Career and Pay Plan.

THE CIVIL SERVICE REFORM ASSOCIATION be-
lieves a comprehensive study of salary schedules is es-
sential and is extremely gratified at the Mayor's choice
of Mr. DeGraff for Director of the study.

THE LIBERAL PARTY has “strongly endorsed
Mayor William O’Dwyer’s new Career and Salary Project,
upheld his appointment of John T. DeGraff to direct the
survey, and roundly condemned ‘the clamor and bickering
of sub-organizations’ which have opposed the Mayor,”
(Quoted from The Civil Service LEADER, 6/29/49).

THE PRESS says YES: N. Y.#World-Telegram, N. Y.
Times, N. Y. Herald-Tribune, N. Y. Sun, Civil Service
LEADER.

HERBERT H. LEHMAN, former Governor of New
York, says: “I am heartily in favor of the Mayor's Career
and Pay Plan because I believe its achievement would
raise the dignity and improve the security of public
service. .. Mr, DeGraff is able, fair-minded, and has a
long record of benefits obtained for the employees.”

EVERY CITY EMPLOYEE must support Mayor
O’Dwyer’s project for a new, modern Career and Salary
Plan, It means job security, equal pay fox equal work,
and better promotion prospects. i

“The heads of departments

but it is doubtful whether any will

dent McNamara,

The hearings will be held at
the offices of the Municipal Civil
Service Commission, 299 Broad-
