Earle-Baldwin Bill Passes
Council; Holds Off Salary
Increases to City Workers
A revised Earle-Baldwin bill, amending the mandatory increment law for City em-
ployees entering the service at $1,800 and below, passed the City Council on Tuesday, after
a special message by Mayor LaGuardia,
The bill provides that annual®-
increments take effect on January| rise to one cent below the grade’s| get increments amounting only to
1 and July 1 of each year, and go
only to employees who have been
in the service at least one year.
In terms of dates, those enter-|
ing the service between January)
1 and June 30 must wait for their]
first increment until July 1 of the
following year. Those entering be-
tween July 1 and December 31
must wait until January 1 of the
second year,
Thus those entering between
July 1 and December 31, 1940, will
wait until January 1, 1942, before
receiving their first salary in-
creases.
As the increment law read be-
fore the Earle-Baldwin bill, incre-
ments were due one year after en-
trance into service; a court ruling
(the famous Wexler decision) held
that employees receive increments
on the anniversary of their enter-
ing the service, The city has in-
sisted, however, that the incre-
ments start only on July 1; such
an interpretation would force those
entering the service between July
1 and December 31 to wait as long
as 23 months and 30 days for their
first increment.
Provision of the bill as original-
ly drawn up set $540 as the max-
imum total increments within a
grade. Those entering at $1,200
could rise only to $1,740, This pro-
vision does not appear in the re-
vised bill; increments continue to
top or to $1,799.99,
Under the terms of the original
a total of $540, though their class
has a salary span of $900. This

Custodial Helpers to
Enter Civil Service
LEADER CARRIES FIRST NEWS OF SUCCESSFUL FIGHT
For six years, Custodial Helpers in New York’s school system have fought to rid
themselves of the unstable conditions which their jobs imposed upon them. They weren’t
even sure whether they were public or private employees, They got no unemployment in-
surance, such as they would get if they worked for private firms; yet they were not eligible
for any pension system. as they would be if they were recognized as being in public employ.

Custodial Helpers in New York's “y.s03 the Custodian Engineers,

keeping schools clean, taking care
of furnaces, maintaining equip-
ment in good order, and so forth.
They are paid by the Custodian
Engineer, who receives his money
in a Jump sum from the city, then
doles out a part of it to his assis-
tants, retains the rest.
Among the Helpers who weren't
taking this condition lying down
was twinkling Patrick Joseph

Moral Victories
HE employees of New York City last week suffered
what looked like a bad defeat, when the City Coun-
cil passed the Earle-Baldwin bill,
But there's another way of looking at it, too. You
might very well call the Bill, as it was passed, a kind
of subtle moral victory. In terms of the original bill
introduced a few months ago, it certainly was some-
thing of a victory,
All that remains of the original bill is the provision
that salary increases start on January 1 and July 1 of
each year, and that an employee must wait from a year
to a year and six months (less one day) before his in-
crements begin. The original bill called for an even
longer waiting period, and limited the increments an
employee might receive to $540.
But moral victories neither fill the ice-box nor pay
the rent,
The fact that the sponsors have removed the more
onerous provisions proves a point: that employees pro-
tect their interests only when they fight back.
The provisions that increments begin on fixed dates,
no matter when an employee enters the service, is ob-
viously unfair. It 1s only an endeavor to get around
court decisions which have held that salary increases
are to start one year after entry into the service.
Let's continue the fight until the entire bill is killed.
Let’s make it a real victory as well as a moral one.
McElligott Must Go!
“...mo dead Firemen
haunting me...”
David John
Kidney
T saw men killed .. .”
That is what Deputy Chief David John Kidney is
likely to say first when you ask him what he remembers
most vividly from his 35 years in the New York City Fire
Department.
“I saw men killed . . . One night I stumbled over
the dead body of Bill Healy, of Engine Co. 10, in a
smoke-filled building. Bill was a boyhood pal of mine.
You don’t forget things like that easily. I said to
myself that if I ever got a crack at commanding, I'd
watch that first—the safety of my men.”
Chief Kidney, whose grandparents came over from
County Cork in '49, has a quizzical way of talking. After
making a statement, he crinkles the lines around his
warm brown eyes as though he were asking a ques-
tion, He sprinkles his conversation with rich Irish
anecdotes.
Chief Kidney is modest and reluctant to talk much
about what he’s done in the Fire Department, though
men who know him fill in the story.
Kidney has an enviable reputation of never having
lost the life of a man while he was in command at a
fire. “It’s easy enough to order men around and into
blazing infernos,” says the Chief, “but human lives
are too valuable to be sacrificed to the flames. No mat-
ter what happens to my career, there'll be no dead Fire-
men haunting me,” he adds firmly,
He’s a good friend of Firemen on the job and fre-
quently has gone to bat for them when they were in
trouble.
Kidney is a native of Manhattan. He attended St.
Peter's School and the De La Salle Academy and later
studied chemistry at night school. He joined the Fire
Department in 1905, when he was 21. Seven years later
he was promoted to Lieutenant and within another year
became a Captain, at the age of 29—the youngest man
to hold that rank at the time. Kidney’s rise in the
department continued and he became a Chief of Battal-
fon in 1919, after placing first on the Civil Service exam
for the post. At the end of another six years he was
promoted to Deputy Chief.

word from Mayor LaGuardia de-

amended Bill, concerning itself with
the increment payments to the low-
paid city employees, provides that
these low paid employees can only
receive increment payments on
either January 1 or July 1 of each
year contingent on the date of the
employee's appointment into the
service, :
‘The Bill invalidates the Wexler
Decision in which employees were
logally entitled to receive incre-
ments on the anniversary of their
appointments instead of July 1, the
start of the new fiscal year. It will
also have the effect of an extended
salary cut over four years to the

I must disagree,
Last week I picked up a copy of

I would like to know why the

Here's the lowdown on the sud-
den retirement and suicide of
Captain Max Finkelstein, Under
the new pension law a man who
requests retirement is automati-
cally retired. Such action is man-
datory on the part of the Police
Commissioner. Finkelstein asked
for retirement and his request was
granted at noon Thursday, About
4 p.m, it was revoked, apparently
after Special Prosecutor John H.
fen presented Commissioner
Valentine with evidence gathered
in the bail bond racket investiga-
tion in Brooklyn inyolving the
Captain. At 6 p.m. Finkelstein
then had a talk with Chief In-
spector Lewis Costuma, who re-
assured him and said that on
Monday, May 6, the pension board
would retire him in accordance
with his request. But Finkelstein,

“Commissioner McE11igott,”
Shaffer declared, “was sole trus-
tee of the fire pension fund at the
time he tried to make these re-
tirements and as a trustee was
not to be judged by the rules of
the market place but by the high-
est standards and judged by the
strictest precepts. Taking care of
his friends in this way cannot be
said to comply with those super-
standards that the courts have
laid down for trustees,
“The Mayor had asked in a let-
ter that there be no retirements
at more than half pay; all five
of these were for more than half,
and as a new pension law that
the men desired to avoid was
about to go into effect, which put
pensions in the hands of a board
of ten trustees, the hurried retire-
ments were not in keeping with
the fiduciary responsibilities of the
Commissioner,”
Shaffer was careful to point out
that no question of the excellence
of the records of the men was in-
volved in the case; but he added
that the board of trustees created
by the new pension law, should
decide the amount of their retire-
ment allowances,

However, since he claims physi-

gott—who is supposed to be vigor-
ously opposed to Conway's ap-
pointment as head of department,
might bring him before the med-
ical board, and retire him for dis-
ability,
At the same time, to prevent
the Fire Chief exam from being
a farce, in that everyone would
know who was going to get the
job, the Municipal Civil Service
Commission might set entrance
requirements which would bar
Conway. However, if this were
done, Conway would probably fight

GETTING PROMOTED
Mayor LaGuardia calls it a
“career service.” In June 1937, I
received my B.A. degree, I was ap
pointed as a Clerk Grade 1 a tow
days after I finished school, A |
promotion examination was held
that December to Clerk Grade 2,
but I was not eligible to compete
in same because I was in the ser-
vice for only six months, Last
year, a promotion exam was held
for Junior Chemist but again I
could not compete although I had
more than 75 semester hr, credits
graduate and undergraduate) in
chemistry. The Commission's ex- |
cuse this time was that my title |
as Clerk was not appropriate for
the promotion examination to
Junior Chemist,
In November 1939, I finally was
allowed to take the promotion
exam for Clerk Grade 2 after
waiting 8 months from the date
of filing my application, Today
Leader says that the list will n
be promulgated before another 2
months have elapsed, That means
that the list will be promulgated |
after July 1, 1940, Therefore I
Here's another angle on the situ-
ation created by Division Chief)
Edward M, F. Conway, who won|
the right to claim veteran's pref-|
erance in Civil Service exams and)
appointments, When a new test
for Fire Chief is held, Conway is|
cannot look forward to becom-
ing a Clerk Grade 2 until July
1941, since Mayor LaGuardia’s
budget will not allow appoint-
ments to a position affected by
the increment law except at the
beginning of the budgetary period.
So, after 3 years in the service,
all can show is a wage, of $21
per week and a sevies of returned
application forms stamped “not
eligible,” Ihave my B.A. and 30
graduate credits, yet I am not
permitted to compete for a bet-
ter job—Mayor LaGuardia calls it
a “career service.”
P. K.
1, The Municipal Civil Service
Commission explains that, only
after a bitter fight with the Civ-
il Service Forum was the Com-
mission able to reduce from one
year to six months the time re-
quired for a person to serve
before becoming eligible to take
a promotion exam. The six
months provision went into ef+
fect too late to apply to Mr.
Kupchik,
2, Since a Cleri. title obvious-
ly does not ‘lead to a Junior
Chemist title, the Commission
was unable to allow Mr. Kupchik
to take the chemist exam, The
Commission cannot consider per-
sonal qualifications and still give
an orderly promotion exam,
3. Since the passage of the
Earle-Baldwin bill it is not likely
the Mayor will wait a year be-
fore making appointments, The
promulgation of the new promo-
tion list is being held up in
order that the remaining per-
sons on the old list will have an
opportunity for promotion, —

5-Day Week Fever
Federal employees in the Dis-
triet have the 5-day week fever,
superinduced by the Capital's tor-
rid weather that made its debut
of the season here last week when
the temperature hit 85 and above
on four days,
Petitions are being circulated in
almost every department calling
on Congress to approve the Mead
bill that would give department
heads authority to put their em-
ployees on a 5-day week provided
no additional cost is incurred, The
bill was introduced by Senator
James Mead of New York and a
By Charles Sullivan

Members of the United Federal
Workers of America, a CIO affili-
ate, are circulating the petitions
and the most recent count of
names was in the neighborhood of
20,000 and more than 50,000 em-
Ployees was expected to sign the
petitions,
Employees have been encour-
aged by the fact that last week
the branch office of the Tennes-
see Valley Authority here went on
a 5-day week for the summer
months. The office will remain
open Saturday morning as em-
Ployees will alternate on the Sat-
urday shift.
TVA main offices in Knoxville,
Tennessee, have been on a 5-day
week the year around for several
years,
Main question worrying Federal
employees is whether they would
get a 5-day week even though the
bill is approved. The Budget Bu-
reau estimated several years ago
that {€ would cost Uncle Sam
around $50,000,000 additional a
year to put employees on a shorter
work week, However, the cost of
a 5-day week during the summer
months should be negligible,
Ramspeck Bill Sat On
Chairman Bulow of the Senate
Civil Service Committee continues
to sit on the Ramspeck bill that
would give the President author-
ity to extend Civil Service to an
estimated 150,000 additional Fed-
eral jobs. His latest excuse is that
he wants his committee members
to read and study the extensive
hearings on the bill.
The chairman is very pessimis-
tic over Senate approval of the
ested in the extension of Civil Ser-
vice.
It’s taken jor granted here
that absolutely nothing more
will be done at this ion of
Congress toward the enactment
of an employee board of appeals.
The House Civil Service Con
mittee held hearings on nine
appeals bills last month but the
committee has not been called
together since and at this writ-
ing Chairman Ramspeck has no
intention of calling a meeting.
Committee members say it is
too late in the session to get any-
thing done along that line now.
Moreover, there still is the un-
answered question of whether a
separate board of appeals with
final power is constitutional. And
the final consideration is the fact
that under the Walter-Logan bill
that has passed the House em-
ployees would be permitted to
take their grievances to court for
review.

Boards of trustees in some villages act as
boards of assessors, Several villages have
boards of three assessors; others have a
single assessor, In some the assessor is
also village clerk, or deputy clerk or
building inspector, At least one village
has two assessors, one of whom is also
superintendent of public works.
The Village Clerk
Take the office of village clerk as an-

clerk occupies no other position. In some
he is also the treasurer and assessor, In a
few he is also treasurer and building in-
spector, The offices of clerk and treas-
urer are combined in a number of villages,
In at least one village the clerk is also
street commissioner, engineer, purchasing

Central Islip State Hospital
was shocked last week by the
accidental death of two popular
employees. On Sunday morn-
ing, Attendant Charles Behonek
was instantly killed when his
car struck a tree on the Mon-
tauk Highway at Great River.
His younger brother and an-
other passenger also died as a
result of the crash, Charles
Behonek Sr. has also been em-
ployed at the hospital for many
years... On the same day, fel-
low workers noted that Mrs.
Agnes Coleman failed to report
for duty. Her punctuality was
proverbial, and suspicions were
immediately aroused. Investi-
gation found her a victim of
gas asphyxiation in her kitchen,
What probably happened was
this: Mrs, Coleman put some
water on the range to boil,

officials in the Department of
Welfare is slated to go, Not
because his work is unsatisfac-

In an editorial (April 16) we
said; “If an employer in private
industry hired employees at one
salary, and then paid them less
than the stipulated sum, the
community would consider it an
anti-social act.” The practice is
now on the way out. Holder-

Question, Please?
by H. ELIOT KAPLAN
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR
ENTERING CITY RETIREMENT SYSTEM
J.M.O.—Under the present pension
Jaws, a person appointed to a city job
may become a member of the retirement
system regardless of his age, This will
apply to employees of the transit com~
pany when they become city employees.
There have been semi-official talks of
making special arrangements for those
over 50, But until some change is made
in the law, anyone will be eligible to join
the pension system, whether he is 21 or
69,
MORE ON PENSIONS
B.M.T, Associates—You should join the
city pension system when you become city
employees after unification, regardless of
age. Even men over 60 have everything
to gain and nothing to lose. Whatever
amount you will contribute will be
matched by the city, so that you receive
$2 for every $1 you pay. Your contribu-
tions will be scaled according to your
wee, with younger men naturally paying
less than older ones.
PROMOTION IN FEDERAL SERVICE
H.S.—A federal Civil Service employee
who becomes a lawyer or certified public
‘accountant cannot be transferred or pro-
moted to a higher grade position in an-
other department even after a non-com-
petitive test, However, an employee may
be promoted to a higher grade position,
or an entirely different one in the same
department, if the officials decide he is
qualified and if the Civil Service Com-
Mission approves, Federal promotions are
not made in the same way that promo-
tions are made in the city and State ser-
vices. While the Federal Civil Service
rules provide for promotions after compe.
titive exams, in practice this rule 4s sel-
dom followed. Generally, the various
agencies and departments are permitted
to promote employees without tests if the
Civil Service Commission approves. The
Federal Commission is now working out
plans to extend the use of competitive
promotion exams,
ON PATROLMEN LISTS
R.G.Q.—The Municipal Civil Service
Commission is allowing men on the Pa-
trolman, P.D, list and those on the Special
List to retain their places on one register
after they are appointed from the other.
A man appointed from one list will be cer-
tified for a job from the other when he
is reached. He can then choose the first
position or the second one. If he takes
the latter he will have to serve a new
probationary period,
‘WHY GRADES?
T.E.—The various grades of Civil Ser-
vice positions are not set in order to fix
salaries, but solely for the purpose of
controlling promotions. A department
head, and not the Civil Service Commis-
sion, has the right to decide what salary
an employee shall get, providing that the
salary falls within the maximum and
minimum allowed. Only in cases where
the department attempts to pay a higher
salary than that allowed in the Civil Ser-
vice rules, has the Commission the right
to interfere, In such cases, the Commis-
sion can insist that only a person from a
promotion list can be appointed to the
higher salaried job,
FILLING A JOB
W.F.O.—Even if a special law permits a
state department to fill a position, and
even though the law may seem to make
it mandatory that the job be filled, the
department head can leave it vacant. If
he believes the job is unnecessary or that
other staff members can do the necessary
work, he does not have to add another
employee. It makes no difference wheth~
er the post is an “office” or a “position,”
your name and address.
This department of information is conducted as a frog

all who desire to enter the Service.

Questions for this column receiya
Even in cases in which the budget has an
appropriation for a job, the department
head does not have to fill it. However, he
cannot drop one employee, then replace
him with another, under the guise of a
reorganization,
TRANSFER INTO COMPETITIVE CLASS
R.B.—Transfer of Attendants in the
State service to the competitive class (ef-
fective January 1, 1941), will not affect
the jobs of present employees, Those who
are Attendants before January 1, and
continue in the service, will automatically
go into the competitive class without tak-
ing any exam. All appointments after
January 1 will have to be made from com-
petitive Civil Service lists, After this
transfer becomes effective, removals will
be made in the same way as they are
now, except that employees will be entitled
to a statement of reasons for dismissals
and an opportunity to reply.
TEMPORARY APPOINTMENTS
D.W.—When a person receives a tem-
porary apointment, his name remains on
the eligible lists for a permanent appoint-
ment, After his temporary job ends, he
is certified for another temporary, or pos-
sibly a permanent, job,
COUNTY EMPLOYEES
J.J.Q.—You have asked a number of
questions, but I'll try to answer them be-
cause of their general interest to county
employees whose jobs may be consoli-
dated or abolished through reorganiza-
tion:
1) Pension benefits in the State service
are virtually the same as those in the
New York City retirement system, County
employees in New York City come under
the city, and not the State, retirement
system,
2) Vacation and sick leave privileges
are similar in the city, county and siai,
services, oe
3) The privileges of veterans, National
guardsmen, and exempt volunteer ¢\;.,
men are the same in all branches of Civit
Service.
4) Under section 31 of the State iyi)
Service Law, service in the county does
not give a person seniority for State oy
city jobs. Employees whose position (n
the county service are abolished may pe
eligible for reemployment in the city oy
county services. In the former case, the
Municipal Civil Service Commission mys,
approve reinstatements,
5) If any county offices are dis.
continued, employees in the competitive
class will be placed on preferred eliibie
lists in the order of their seniority fo, r¢.
instatement. If the services are reoiyan.
ized or consolidated, there will undoubt.
edly be provisions for the transfer of em.
Ployees to new agencies,
6) The Feld-Hamilton salary increment
Jaw doesn’t apply to the city or county
services. It applies only to State em.
ployees.
7) Appointments to city positions, ¢
cept for those in the Borough Presidents
Offices, the Finance Department, the
Board of Transportation and other agen-
cles which are not strictly city depart.
ments under the law, are generally made
in strict numerical order under executive
order of the Mayor. This does not apply
to county jobs. State appointments a:
also made in numerical order, in most
cases, from eligible lists,
8) No one knows for certain whe
county offices will be abolished, con:
idated or reorganized, There is a definite
movement afoot to abolish the office
county sheriffs and registers and consol-
idating them into city wide agencies of
@ city sheriff's office and a city register’s
office, respectively.

TUESDAY'S LEADER
| ordered by the Municipal
City Marshal
Is Appointed
Last January, the 204-name City,
Marshal lst was first published,
This week, the first appointment
was finally made by Mayor La-
Guardia, Lucky man was William
P, Diviney, attorney of 41-47 56th
St., Woodside, L, I. He was among
20 eligibles from Queens.
Diviney's appointment is for six
years,
‘The City Marshal exam was the
first Civil Service test ever given
for the post. However, the job it-
self 1s not under Civil Service, and
Mayor LaGuardia will merely use
‘the list as a guide in making ap-
pointments,
No indication was given at the
Mayor's office as to the date of
future appointments.
Exams Cancelled
Four competitive
change-of-title exams,
and one
previously
Civil
Service Commission, were cancel
led last week, The cancelled tests
were for Junior Administrative As-
sistant (Board of Higher Educa-
tion); Junior Draftsman (Archi-
tectural), Grade 1; Pipe Caulker;
Superintendent (Asphalt Plant);
and change of title to Hostler.
In cancelling the first of these
exams the Commission declared
the list for Junior Administrative
Assistant (Welfare) appropriate
for the position, The Architectural
Assistant, Grade 2 list: will be used
for Junior Draftsman positions,
The other lists were cancelled be-
re not sufficient va-
‘ant the holding of
new tests,
No More Pay Fons
Provisional Firemen
Payrolls for provisional Firemen
in the New York City Housing
Authority were stopped last week
by the Municipal Civil Service
Commission and the list for Por-
ters was declared appropriate for
the jobs, The Porters who are ap-
pointed must be qualified in the
operation of oil burners or low
pressure boilers,
According to the Commission,
the refusal of the Housing Auth-
ority to employ eligibles from the
Porter's list was based on the fact
that they did not haye the nec
essary license. ‘However, the pro~
visionals were not required to have
such certificates,” the Commission
| added,
“Obviously, it is unfair to favor
the provisionals by setting differ-
ent requirements for regular Civil
Service eligibles,”
Frey Succeeds Sheehan
|In Laborers Union
Peter P, Sheehan, president of
the Municipal Laborers Union, has
resigned his post as president of
the Federation of Municipal Em-
ployees, Sheehan, who was one
of the founders of the Federation,
resigned because of the press of
other work, and recent ill health
which he has suffered. He is suc+
ceeded by Almer Frey, also a mem~
ber of the Laborers Union.

‘Administrative Experience’
Defined by Commission
The Municipal Civil Service Commission this week de-
fined seven types of “administrative experience” to guide
examiners who are grading candidates for positions in the
Administrative Service,
The definition, which applies to
‘ny position using the phrase “ad-
ministrative experience,” includes
dlanning, ofganizing, staffing, di-
tecting, coordinating, reporting
and budgeting,
Each of the seven types of ex-
Perience were defined by the Com-
hssion as follows:
4 Planning
Wherever the position involves
the planning of work programs or
the development of public or ad-
ministrative policy, the experience
‘s administrative, whether the oc-
“Wpant has authority to enforce
the plan or whether he has mere-
ly the staff authority of recom-
mendation and advice,
b. Organizing
Wherever the occupant is en-
gaged in the organizing or reor-
Ganizing of work programs or per-
sonnel assignments, the experience
is administrative, whether the oc-
cupant has line or staff authority.
c. Staffing
Wherever the occupant of the
position is engaged in the selec-
tion, assignment or reassignment
of staff, the experience is admin-
istrative, whether the authority of
the occupant is that of a line agent
or advisor,
d. Directing
Wherever the occupant of the
position is engaged in directing or
supervising a production program,
the experience is administrative.
Coordinating
Wherever the occupant of the
position is engaged in the coor-
dination of departmental or di-
visional units or wherever he acts
as liaison between administrative
units, the experience is adminis-
trative, whether the authority of
the occupant is line or staff.
f, Reporting
Wherever the occupant of the
Position is engaged in reporting
or appraising or interpreting ad-
ministrative activities, the experi-
ence is administrative, This would
include research experience of
many types.
Budgeting
Wherever the occupant of the
position is engaged in the man-
agement or development of the
fiscal program of an administra-
tive unit.

Schwartz Resigns
From School
Eugene B, Schwartz, well-known
and popular instructor on Civil
Service exams and formerly a
partner in the Schwartz-Caddell
School on East 13th Street, has
withdrawn his connection from the
School. In the future Schwartz
will instruct ® number of private
courses for Fire and other exams
at 147 - 4th Ave, The Schwartz-
Caddell School will continue under
the management of Walter B. Cad-
dell. Associated with Mr, Caddell is
J. P. Casey.
\Interpreter
List July 1
Two interpreter exams were held
by the State Civil Service Com-
mission December 9 for Kings
County positions; the titles were
Interpreter (Yiddish) and Inter-
preter (Italian, with knowledge of
Spanish). This week The Leader
learned that both lists will be
ready about July 1.
The rating of both written tests
has been completed. A number of
disabled veterans are known to be
on the Yiddish list; it is possible,
therefore, that they alone will be
interviewed for the first Jobs. An
interview will be given soon to the
150 who passed the Italian test.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER
Policewomen Get Jobs
BUT NOT MANY; AND CHANCES FOR
MORE ARE SLIM
Some comforting statistics
and others not so comforting |
were offered up last week by the Municipal Civil Service|
Commission to eligibles on the
list for Policewoman.
On the one hand the Commission announced that it
would use the list for a numb
the next few months, and th
exams for the appropriate jobs.
fence, the Commission stated
flatly, and pointed up its remarks
with figures, that chances of ap-
pointment as Policewomen for
most of the eligibles on the list
were pretty remote.
The last eligible appointed to
a job as Policewoman was number
23, There are only 150 such jobs.
But there are, or were originally,
308 names on the list which ex-
pires in less than two years.
In the past the Commission has
used the list for a number of ap-
propriate jobs, with number 80 the
last receiving a permanent ap-
pointment,
er of appropriate jobs within
at it would begin qualifying |
On the other side of the
The new positions which will be
filled from the Policewomen’s list
will be Attendants (female), Park
Department; Parole Officers; Cor- |
rection Officers; Prison Matron; |
Inspector; and several others:
The qualifying tests, starting
with number 81, will begin this
week. Others will continue through
the rest of this month and next.
Eligibles who accept permanent
appointments to appropriate jobs
will lose their rights to future ap-
pointments as Policewomen. In
most cases these appropriate jobs
will pay $1,200.
A Question of Accuracy
The Leader's reputation for
accurate reporting was
strengthened again last week.
A story about the next State
test for Prison Guard appear-
ed in Frank Prial's newspaper,
The Chief, which completely
contradicted several of its ear-
lier stories. The Leader had
taken pains to correct The
Chief's inaccuracies.
In its February 2 issue, The
Chiej ran the following banner
head across page 1: STATE
TEST FOR PRISON GUARD.
The subhead read: Applications
may Be Issued Shortly.
A checkup by The Leader
indicated that no applications
for Prison Guard would be is-
sued “shortly”; in fact, that
there would be no Prison Guard
test before the Fall, In the next
issue of The Leader it was stat-
ed: “The Leader has learned
that the State Civil Service De-
partment is not planning to an-
nounce a test for the position
in the near future.” The Leader
quoted Miss Grace A. Reavy as
_ saying: “We certainly wouldn't
announce a Prison Guard test
before next Fall.”
In its issue of February 23,
The Chief quoted Miss Reavy
as saying she would “like” to
hold the Prison Guard test in
June. Miss Reavy told a re-
porter from The Leader that
she had been misquoted by the
Chief and that “We have no
surplus money to hold a Prison
Guard test before the end of
the fiscal year.” The Leader
added that the test would be
held in the Fall,
In the May 3 issue of The
Chief there is the following
statement: Prison Guard Test
to Be in October,
This final story in The Chief
is a complete backtracking from
its report in February that the
test would be held “shortly.”
On the other, hand, every
fact made public by The Leader
has proven correct. The Lead~-
er’s statement that the test
would not come before the Fall
is admitted by The Chief in its
current issue. issue.

ance, urged the managers of
the 94 Employment Service of-
fices in the State—40 in the
metropolitan area, 54 upstate
—to mention the forthcoming
exam to eligible candidates
who enter their offices.
At the same time, the State
Commission forwarded an-
nouncements and application
blanks to each office. Blanks
will also be given to those who
are not registered.
The examination, set for June!
29, is open to all men and women
between 18 and 45. No previous
training is required. As jobs will
be available in every part of the
State, the exam is open to persons
no matter where they live. The
filing deadline is June 4. $54 to
$66 is the Attendant salary, plus
food and lodging, with promotion
opportunities. Where food and
lodgirig are not available, there
will be a larger salary.
Count 100
The written examination is to
count 100 per cent of the mark, but
medical and physical requirements
must be met by each candidate.
A zone system will be set up af-
ter the exam; appointments are to
be given residents only in institu-| %
tions within the zone in which they
live.
Unofficially, employment office
managers have in the past told
unemployed: clients of Civil Ser-
vice opportunities open. This is
the first time, however, that the
job is being done through official} v
channels. In ail likelihood, many
managers will communicate di-|
rectly, by mail or phone, with
those whom they believe to be
good prospects for the Attendant
test.
The State Commission expects |
to work through other agencies as
well, including CCC camps, NYA|
offices, relief offices, and county |
welfare commissioners. Private |
agencies to be contacted include |
the “Y’ the Knights ‘of Colum-
way workers who will come under

BMT lines are taken over by the
city, A special staff of 40 persons
is at work in the Commission's
offices sorting and tabulating the
information on the questionnaires. |
Meantime, field parties are
checking the functions of the men
while they are actually on the |
job, These parties also finger-
print employees.
Up to the present time, 4,000
BMT workers, and 1,000 IRT men |
have been interviewed by field
parties.
