Local Rating Boards
Will Examine Lawyers
WASHINGTON.—Nearly 40,000
lawyers already have applied for
the Civil Service exam that
closed Monday, August 31, It's
estimated that more than 10,000
of the applicants were from New
York State,
One or more rating committees
will be set up in New York City
and others throughout the State
to give oral and written tests to
the applicants, The committees
will he composed of judges,
prominent members of the bar
and law professors from New
York law institutions.
At least one member of the
Board of Legal Examiners or a
member of its staff will sit with
the rating committees, Commit-
tee members won't be paid salaries
but they'll receive their expenses,
Oral Tests Start October 1
Exams will get under way by
October 1, it’s hoped, and it's
planned to haye the register set
up by January 1.
Meantime, the President has is-
sued an executive order setting
up the Board of Legal Examiners
‘officially, Congress recently ap-
proved funds for the board after
a long, hard fight.
In the order, the board was told
to choose Federal lawyers on a
State quota basis. That'll mean
that New York State will get ap-
proximately 10 per cent of the
legal jobs, as it has about 10 per
cent of the population,
The Civil Service Commission
has tossed the State quota system
cut the window for the duration
of the war for all other jobs, How-
ever, the supply of lawyers is
such that the Board feels it can
easily apply the quota system to
the appointments,
‘The Board, however, has some
leeway. ‘The quota system is to
be followed “so far as practic-
able and consistent with good ad-
ministration,”
Written Tests in September
Meantime, the Board will give
approximately 600 young attor-
neys written exams in September.
These attorneys were appointed
temporarily subject to exams, The
exams will be non-competitive. If
an attorney fails the written
exam, he'll be given an oral test,
and if he flunks that one, too,
he’s out, If he passes, he'll get
civil service status,
Present appointees in grades
CAF-4 and from P-1 through 3
will take a written test, too,
Lawyers who have been appoint-
ed to higher grades will be given
only oral exams.
Meantime, the Commission has
printed some new forms which
will be used to bring lawyers
under Civil Service through the
Ramspeck Act, Not a move has
been made to date to get status
for the many lawyers in the ser-
vice, and if you're one, see to it

CIVIL SERVICE IN NEW YORK CITY
Council Acts on Increment Compromise
In the Midst of Wide Employee Dissension
Mayor to Blame for Crisis,
Says Councilman, Tells Why
Because we consider the statement of Stanley Isaacs a thorough-
going analysis of the methods used by the Mayor in his relations
with city employees, we print it in full. Because this statement cuts
behind the big current controversy—the McCarthy Increments—we
suggest that all civil employees read it thoroughly. Then turn to page
& for The LEADER'S views,
The majority group in the Council have apparently reached an
agreement with the Mayor as to proposed amendments to the McCar-
thy Increment Law. I have given considerable thought and study to
the problem. It seems very important to clear the air of the confusion
and misunderstanding that have thus far permeated the discussion—
created in some measure, I must submit, by the Mayor himself in his
address to the Council and by the Budget Director in his letter to the
Council and in his letter to the Board of Estimate,
No Genuine Financial Crisis
In the first place, I believe that the present situation is not due in
any measure to any genuine financial crisis that the City faces, except
shortage in current appropriations due to an unsound budget and lack
of foresight in its preparation, The City could have had ample funds
available within the range of its taxing powers and within the 2 percent
constitutional limit. The City might have collected from real estate
taxes over twenty-five million dollars in excess of what it chose to levy
Many City departments under the budget were substantially under-fi-
nanced—and I include education, health, parks and welfare, as well as
the protective services, Further, the accruals which generally furnish
an adequate margin of safety w heavily over-loaded, This was not
as the Budget Director claims, ‘forced upon the City to keep its fi
nancial house in order." It was due to the deliberate decision to follow
a cheese paring budgetary policy.
The budget for the first time included both the prov
lief and revenues applicable to those purposes, These are two highly
variable factors~and as might have been expected had better judg-
ment been used, the revenues will probably not produce all that was
anticipated and the relief expenditures will probably rise beyond what
‘was anticipatd in view of increased unemployment in this area.
sions for re-
The Difficulties Which the Mayor Faces
All of these factors combined are responsible for the difficulties
which the Mayor faces in meeting the recent decisions of the Court;
in paying a living wage to patrolmen; and in carrying the additional
load which the Court of Appeals’ interpretation of the McCarthy Law
has foisted upon the City.
‘There might well have been a remedy for this condition by an ad-
mission on the part of the Mayor and the Board of Estimate that their
estimates were unsound and that the expense budget must be increased.
Under some circumstances and for certain purposes, tax notes may be
issued to provide emergency funds, and these provisions of the Charter
might well have been invoked,
Mayor Has Right to Position
The Mayor desires, however, to nullify the decisions of the Court
rather than meet their terms, He has a full right to take this position—
the Court of Appeals has interpreted the law as it stands and it is en-
tirely proper, if the City authorities believe that the Court of Appeals
has misinterpreted their original intention, to amend the law so th
it plainly sets forth what was originally intended, ‘This evident!
whet the Mayor desires of the Council, His method, however, of tr3
to force this upon the Council to me is shocking. It savors far mo
of the conduct of a totalitarian administration than of a democratic
government properly run by elected officials,
In order to force the Council to pay patrolmen for the six months
of the probationary period at the rate of only $1,200 a year, he an-
nounced that if this were not done no patrolmen would be appointed
despite the urgent public need, and, further, that the then existing list
of qualified candidates would be allowed to lapse and not one of them
would be appointed, I voted for this salary reduction against my better
judgment and to save these innocent victims.
Many Are in No Way Affected
Now, in order to force the amendment to the McCarthy Act which
he seeks, he threatens the discharge not only of those who have ob-
tained the Court decision but a very substantial number of City em-
ployees in no way affected by such decision, This threat of discharge
represents unfair tactics, to put it very mildly. It is not too far-fetched
to say that the German threat to shoot several hundred hostages if
those responsible for sabotage are not surrendered represents in more
extreme form the tactics that the Mayor is using, and I, for one, resent
them,
Sound on the Merits
However, on the merits, I believe the Mayor is in the main sound
in his position and for that reason I intend to support him in spite of
his threats and his method of forcing action. I believe that the Mc-
Carthy Act was intended to cover only the lower paid City employees
and that the establishment of a maximum of $2,400 beyond which in-
crements wili not be given is sound, Further, I believe that incre-
ments should be limitcd to a total of $600, any further increases to
come only as a result of promotion to a higher grade after properly
qualifying therefor, The plight of the Park Department playground di-
rectors who find this limit unfair to them is due to the low salary at
which they start in the City employ. The soundest remedy would lie
In increasing the starting salary and not in increasing the number of
increments under the McCarthy Law, However, I find that an agree-
ment has been reached to give playground director's increments until
their salary touches the maximum of $2,100, and this seems a fair set-
tlement,
Disagreements
I do not agree with the Mayor in one respect. I do not approve at
all of the addition to the law which provides that for employees here-
after appointed in the graded service there shall be only four incre-
ments totalling $480, instead of five increments totalling $600, and lim-
iting their maximum annual salary to $2,280, as against $2,400 for
those now in service, I object to this for three reasons: because this
is a novel proposal and not in any sense a restoration of what was orig-
inally intended; because I do not believe that City employees working
side by side, doing exactly the same work and having reached the max-
imum of the same grade, should receive varying compensation; and
because this provision, in my opinion, amounts to nothing more nor
less than a salary cut for future City employees which is unnecessary
4nd which should not be made at this time, STANLEY M, ISAACS,
Under the compromise arrange~
ment reached last week by Mayor
LaGuardia and Majority Leader
Joseph T. Sharkey, acting for the
majority of the City Council, and
polished off Monday, August 81,
at a specially called session of the
Council in City Hall, sentiment
has prevailed that increments
should be given to the lowest paid
graded and ungraded city em-
ployees now in the service until
they reach $2,400. Incoming em-
ployees, both in the graded and
ungraded services, will have a
ceiling of $2,280.
Last week Councilman Sharkey
told The LEADER he was holding
out for the $2,400 top all around.
Apparently he failed.
The agreement, too, calls
for reinstatement of the 67
Welfare Department social in-
estigators slashed off city payrolls
by the Mayor recently, and de-
molition of the Mayorality plan to
dismiss 197 other city workers to
effect allegedly needed economies.
Many groups and individuals
tore into the agreement and the
method by which it was reached,
Merit Group Sends Appeal
Thus, a newly-formed organiza
tion, the Committee for Preserva-
tion of the Merit System, wrote
an “eleventh-hour appeal’ to
every member of the Council,
The letter, signed by John
Hughes, chairman, made the
point that “you must sooner or
later take a stand against ulti-
matums containing threats of sus-
pension and salary cuts, Repeated
attempts to appease or compro-
mise these demands will surely
lead to the destruction of the
merit system, Considering that
the Petrocelli decision was the
excuse used to amend the law,
and considering that the amend-
ment works to the detriment of
graded ry schedules in no
way affected by the decision, we
believe the proposed amendment
is a subterfuge te effect a gen-
eral wage cut,"’ The committee
spoke for some 30 independent
civil employee organizations.
Others, too, looked upon the ac-
tions surrounding the debate on
amending the law as ominous,
Municipal Employees Bitter
The Federation of Municipal
Employees, many of whose mem-
bers are in the ungraded cate-
gory, commented bitterly upon
the whole matter. Said its
president, Harry Feinstein, after
meeting with Budget Director
Kenneth Dayton: "You can't get
what's arithmetically impossible,
Those in the ungraded serv-
vice come into city employ at
$1,500 a year, Four annual $120
increments, amounting to $480,
bring these workers to a peak
of $1,980, reach the $2,400
provided for in the new agree
ment, those in the ungraded class
would have to come in at $1,920
=no less."
Even the $2,280 figure original-
ly proposed by the Mayor cannot
be reached under ‘this amazing
type of arithmetic,” he insists,
“The new $2,400 ceiling, more

women would be hired, too, al-
though they would not be assigned
work as “heavy” as that given the
men, He described the work as
being “physically active,"

One Change Made
In Clerk Answers
A change in the tentative key
answer to question 86 on the
written promotion examination
for clerk, grade 2, permitting
candidates who had answered this
question with either B or C to get
full credit was approved by the
Civil Service Commission at its
meeting last week, Originally
credit was given to those candi-
dates who had given B as the
right answer, Two thousand, four
hundred thirty-nine candidates
took this test on July 24, Objec-
tions to the tentative key answers
were made by less than five per
cent of the candidates, the Com-
mission pointed out,
1-A_ Eligibles
Are Passed Over
‘The City Sheriff has the right
to pass over 1A eligibles in mak-
ing appointments as correction of-
ficers in his department under
section 246 of the State Military
Jaw. according to an opinion
which Corporation Counsel Wil-
liam C. Chanler forwarded to the
Civil Service Commission last
week,
Paragraph 7-a of section 243
provides that “any appointing of-
ficer or body in his or its discre-
tion, may determine to appoint as
members of the uniformed force
of a police cepartment, fire de-
partment, or a department of cor-
rection from any appropriate eli-
gible list only persons who have
not been placed in classification
1-A under the Federal selective
service act and who are not in
any of the reserve military or
naval forces of the United
States.”
The opinion was originally
sought from the corporation coun-
sel by Mayor LaGuardia after 14
1-A eligibles on the fireman li
had been passed over for appoint-
ment to the office of the sheriff.

Civil Service Commission Abolishes
Study Credits On All Promotion Tests
The granting of extra credits
on promotion examinations to city
employees who take the courses
sponsored by the Bureau of
Training of the Civil Service
Commission or outside courses in
colleges or universities was abol-
ished by a decision of the Civil
Service Commission, Wednesday,
August 27,
Discontinuance of educational
credit on service records for em-
ployees who participate in promo-
tion tests comes after five years
of much controversy over the wis-
dom of granting these credit
Originally instituted in 1936, pr
ponents of the extra educational
credit scheme contended that such
credit would be an incentive to
employees to study, that they
would be more alert and am-
bitious, and that the City would
benefit. Objections to the plan
were raised by numerous depart-
ment heads throughout the City
service, They considered it un-
wise to grant special credits to
newer, inexperienced employees
who might still be attending
school while no provisions were
made to grant similar credit to
older, more valuable employees
for courses completed in the past.
Lots of Work
Opponents of the plan pointed
out that the employee who takes
special courses should be able to
show his superior training and
intelligence in actual performance
on the promotion test. Depart-
ment heads had also questioned
the ability of the employee to per-
form the duties of his job and at-
tend school at the same time.
Perhaps the crowning blow to the
plan was the inordinate amount
of work involved in the various
departments and in the service
Practical
rating bureau of the Civil Service
Commission in making careful
checks on the validity of em-
ployee's claims for extra educa-
tional credit. This work often
delayed the promulgation of pro-
motion lists unnecessariiy.
In a letter informing Professor
Paul A, McGhee of New York
University, of the Civil Service
Commission's action, President
Harry W, Marsh of the Commis-
sion stated that the action was
taken because the present method
of assigning special credits in
service ratings does more harm
than good to the service as a
whole.
In describing the history of the
plan to Professor McGhee, Presi-
dent Marsh said:
Efforts Since 1936
“Various efforts have been made
since 1936 to make this plan work
smoothly. Slight changes in the
method were made in 1937 and
1938 and again in 1939 in the hope
that objections raised by depart-
ments and employees concerned
could be met. The adjustments
necessary to be made by the rat-
ing board entailed a tremendous
amount of work, and from the
very beginning there has been a
tendency to decrease the amount
of credit that might be earned by
an employee through the comple-
tion of courses of study. There
has never been agreement among
the various departments and their
employees as to the wisdom of
giving these credits for completed
courses of study. Many dep:
ments have stated very distinctly
that they were out of sympathy
with the practice. A great many
employees likewise have felt that
it was unfair to give additicnal
service rating credits to newer
and younger employees who had
not yet completed their educaticn,
Aids
For Clerk Test
The purpose of the study m:
terial which follows is to aid pe:
sons who are filing for the Clerk
Grade 1 examination. It will
prove valuable, however, to those
participating in clerical examina-
tions of all kinds—including Fed-
eral. The material will cover
problems of judgment; vocabu-
lary; grammar; arithmetic; read-
ing comprehension,
Start now! The answers to the
practice questions below will ap-
pear in next week’s
gether with additional mater
Judgment in Dealing With
People
Directions: Four possible an-
swers are suggested to complete
each sentence, On the line follow-
ing each question write in the
letter which you consider the best
of those suggested,
1. Your superior, Mr. Hotchkiss,
is in conference and has request-
ed that he should not be dis-
turbed. ‘The condition under
which you would most probably
disturb the conference is (a) A
Mr, Smith, whom you have not
seen before, says he has important
business with Mr. Hotchkiss. (b)
Mrs, Hotchkiss telephones, saying
there has been a serious accident
at home, (c) You do not know
how a certain letter should he
filed and wish to ask the advice
of Mr, Hotchkiss, (d) A fellow
clerk wishes to ask Mr, Hotch-
kiss whether a particular city de-
partment handles certain matters.
2, Your superior directs you to
find certain papers. You know
the purpose for which the papers
are to be used, In the course of
your search for the papers, you
come across material which would
be very useful for the purpose to
be served by the papers. You
should (a) bring the papers to
your superior and ask whether he
wants the other materials, (b) go
to your superior immediately and
ask whether he wishes both the
materials and the papers or only
one of the two, (c) bring to your
superior the other materials to-
gether with the papers you were
directed to find, (d) bring only
the other materials to your su-
perior and point cut the manner
in which these materials are of
greater value than the papers.
3. If a fellow employee asks you
a question to which you do not
know the answer, you should say
(a) “I don't know. What's the
difference?” (b) ‘The answer to
that question forms no part of my
duties here.” (c) “My dear sir,
the thing for you to do is to look
the matter up yourself because it
is your responsibility, not mine.’”
(da) “I'm sorry, I don't know.
4, In general, it is probably true
that most people are (a) so self-
secking that they pay no attention
to the wants, needs, or behavior
of others, (b) so changeable that
no one never knows what his fel-
low employee is likely to do next,
(c) not worth the trouble to
bother about, (a) quite ready to
help others, ——_—.
5. Of the following, the one
which is not a reason for avoid-
ing clerical errors is that (a) time
is lost, (b) money is wasted, (c)
many clerks are yery intelligent,
(a) serious consequences may
follow. ———
6. Of the following, the main
reason for keeping a careful rec-
ord of incoming mail is that (a)
some people are less industrious
than others, (b) this record helps
to speed up outgoing mail, (c)
this record is a kind of legal evi-
dence, (d) this information may
be useful in answering questions
which may arise, —_—.
7. Of the following, the main
reason for using a calculating ma-
chine is that (a) a lesser know!l-
edge of arithmetic is needed, (b)
a more attractive product is ob-
tained, (c) greater speed and ac-
curacy are obtained, (d) it is not
difficult to learn how to operate a
calculating machine. _————
8. Of the following, the main
reason for being polite over the
telephone is that (a) persons who
are speaking over the telephone
cannot see each other, (b) polite-
ness makes for pleasant business
relationships, (c) it is not at all
whereas older employees received
no credit for the courses they had
completed in the past. The c'aim
was made that it was unfair to
reward an employee who under-
took courses of study while em-
ployed in the City and not to
ward the employee who nlready
completed these courses before his
entry into City service. Super:
visory officials have made the
criticism that an employee who
took such courses was unable
properly to perform the duties of
the position he occupied at the
same time. The criticism was al-
so made that if the course of in
struction was of any value to the
employee in a promotion examina-
tion the advantage would be re-
flected in his score in the e¢x-
amination anyway because of h's
superior knowledge. hus Aan
added credit in his service rating
was to give double or possibly
ple the credit; (1) for the im-
proved performance in his present
job; (2) because of the greater
proficiency in the promotion ex-
aminations, and (3) an arbitrary
credit in his service rating.

City Treasurer
Completes Hiring

With the appointment of 70
provisional investigators in the
City Treasurer's office last week,
the filling of the 150 temporary

Altogether 2,309 eligibles were
canvassed in order to obtain the
150 temporary investigators. The
eligibles came from such lists as
social investigator, engineer,
junior assessor, fireman, account-
ant, inspector of live poultry,
statistician, junior chemist, junior

CIVIL SERVICE IN NEW YORK STATE
What Salaries
For Substitutes?
The State Civil Service Come
ssion this week cleared up the
Fiblend of salaries and pay
raises to substitutes serving in the
place of those who have gone off
to the wars, In a memorandum
addressed to all appointing offi-
cers, Joseph Schechter, counsel to
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion, made the following points:
J. Salary to be Pald to Substi-
tute upon Appointment.
A. If the salary of the position
left vacant by a military leave of
absence is at or above the mini-
mum and there are no other per-
manent employees in the same
title and grade in the same sal-
ary adjustment unit receiving less
than the minimum, the substitute
shall receive the minimum salary
of the grade, or as otherwise pro-
vided in Section 41 of the Civil
Service Law.
B. If the salary of the po
left vacant by a military leave of
absence is at, above, or below the
minimum of the gi
the
re-
ceiving than the
minimum, then the substitute ap-
pointee shall be paid a salary
equal to that of the lowest paid
permanent employee in the samo
title and grade.

ai Wy a
ments will be allowed as a result
of the “military leave’ vacancy.
‘These conclusions are based upon
the fact that the Feld-Ostertag
Law, authorizing salary adjust-
ments, contemplates the existence
of a permanent vacancy, and that
it would be inequitable to appoint
a substitute employee at a salary
higher than that received by any
permanent employee in the same
title and grade.
2. Salary Adjustments,
Where a permanent vacancy oc-
curs or a new position is created,
permanent employees, including
employees on military leave, who
are receiving salaries below the
minimum are entitled to receive
regular Feld-Ostertag salary ad-
stments within available appro-
priations, In making such adjust-
ments, the item of the employee
on military leave must be consid-
ered as if such employee were still
in his position, However, the su-
stitute who is paid against the
item of the employee on military
leave cen be paid out of such item
only the amount received by the
lowest paid permanent employee
in the same title and grade and
in the same salary udjustment
unit.
3. Salary Increments.
Substitute employees who have
served more than six months are
entitled to ree e the salary in-
crements provided by the Feld-
Hamilton Law.

No Clerk Ratings
Till October
ALBANY — The administration
division of State Civil Service De-
partment is “working hard” to
complete tabulation of ratings in
the clerk tests Involving six types
of clerical jobs, It is hoped to
finish by early in October. The
division is now punching cards,
but since more than 100,000
papers had to be worked over
with an under-manned staff, the
task of establishing the lists has
gone slowly, Whether lists for
each of the jobs will be printed
separately or whether lists for all

Civil Service Has
To Answer Probe
ALEANY—Members of the re-
search staff of the Hollowell leg-
islative committee investigating
civil service are engaged this
week in analyzing answers sub-
mitted in response to the com-
mittee’s initial questionnaire, The
questions were sent to the State
Civil Service Commission and
every division and bureau was
required to answer those that
were pertinent, Employees on va-
cation were recalled to aid in
completing the questionnaire,
What the next move of the inyes-
tigating committee will be had
not been disclosed, It probably
will be determined by the results
of the analyses now being made.
Hospital Heads Deny
Anti-Negro
By ARTHUR RHODES
Eleventh of a series of stories on
working conditions in New York
State hospitals,
The question is:.has Clarence
Jones TB or hasn't he?
Clarence Jones, colored attend-
ant, used to work in Pilgrim State
Hospital. He worked there from
April 8 to August 8. He thought
conditions were atrocious, and
still does. Finally, he claims, he
became so unnerved he reached
the resignation stage.
Jones promptly went to Central
Islip State Hospital not far away;
he applied for an attendant's job.
He was rejected because, he was
told, ‘you are a TB case.’ Well,
Jones had had a severe cold. But
he didn't suspect it was TB.
The following day—August 12—
he entered Harlem Hospital and
was under observation for nine
days. If Central Islip could take
one X-ray, he'd submit to three
this time. He did. Result? He
was informed he had no trace of
‘TR,
Why the TB Tag?
Jones feels there is something
wrong about Central Islip pinning
a TR tag upon him,
But what bothers Jones just as
much, he says, is the colored at-
tendants' lot at Pilgrim State.
“Now there's a place for you,”

points out 39-year-old Jones, who
resides at 213 West 135th Street,
Manhattan, “They even insisted
on taking it out of my pay enve-
lope when I was sick and confined
to the infirmary.
Jones also contends he never
was assigned to the training
school conducted by Pilgrim State
inside the grounds for newly-
hired attendants. “On top of
that,” he holds, “they expected
me to know office routine,
Naturally, when I made a slip,
they charged I was irresponsible,
I hadn't even been informed of
the rules,’”
Claims He Was Hounded
Jones adds that “I was even
hounded at Central Islip.” He
points, in this connection, to a
letter from David Corcoran, su-
perintendent of Central Islip, who
writes Jones that the latter's draft
board classification card was
found on Central Islip grounds.
It says, in part: “I am natural
ly quite curious to know how this
card should have come there as
you had no business on the
grounds after your rejection the
12th.”
Jones: “What's curious
about this? I dropped my card,
sure. But I had to get off the
grounds by walking after being
rejected, They don't provide
transportation. It just shows you
how willing they are to make a
case against a colored person
even if they don’t have one.”
Dr. Corcoran told The LEADER
that the card was found “near
the doctors’ cottages’ and he felt
this was a “strange place for it”
Denies Discrimination
He denied reports about segre-
gation, discrimination and inferior
food at his institution. As for the
attendants’ shortages, he held
that “you know the military ser=
vices are cutting into our person~
nel severely, That isn’t our fault.’
Dr. Corcoran refused to concede
that conditions could be so im-
proved at Central Islip to attract
those attendants whom they
might still be able to hire,
Dr. Harry J, Worthing, superin-
tendent of Pilgrim State, was just
as insistent that virtually every-
thing was and is in good shape
at the hospital over which he
presides,
How About Food?
“Tf the food it bad, and I don’t
say it is,” Dr, Worthing informed
The LEADER, “it's because of
the cooks available these days.
The army is getting the best, you
know."’ He, too, pointed out that
the war 1s to blame for the at-
tendants’ shortage. He refused to
agree that if there were more at-
tendants the recent strangling of
a colored attendant in Pilgrim
State by a Japanese inmate would
not have happened,
I don't know exactly what
the reason was,” said Dr, Worth«
ing,
He added that the practice of
split shifts exists ‘only where
absolutely necessary,” ridiculed
the charge that male colored at+
tendants are compelled to have
living quarters only on the top
floor of Building 42, held it is no
fault of his if townspeopie in
Brentwood discourage Negroes
from the institution from patron-
izing their shops, and wound up
declaring that, if an employees’
committee cares to discuss any of
these grievances with him, he
will be happy to consult with it
with a view toward adjusting any
adjustable matters,
Dr. Worthing also admitted he
would investigate just what per-
centage of female attendants, par-
tiuclarly colored, is being assigned
to male wards — mostly alone —
nightly, It seems the percentage
of colored female attendants in
these wards is rather high,

MEMBER AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS @
September 1, 1942
‘The Ch “avn Widens
HE CITY COUNCIL'S action on the McCarthy
I Increment Law leaves only bitterness and dissen-
sion, It is certainly clear that the compromise
"t arrived at by careful consideration of the merits;
those in agreement and those in disagreement are to-
gether on a single fact: the compromise was reached be-
cause the administration held 250 employees in its hand
as pawns, The situation is even more reprehensible if
Councilman Stanley Isaacs is correct in holding that the
employees were placed in this woeful plight because of
budgetary errors by the administration.
“This threat of discharge represents unfair tactics, to
put it mildly,” says the Councilman, “It is not too far-
fetched to say that the German threat to shoot several
hundred hostages if those responsible for sabotage are
not surrendered represents in more extreme form the
tactics that the Mayor is using.”
This is the view not only of a single Councilman who
felt himself forced to vote the Mayor's way; it repre-
sents the view of large sectors of civil employees, If
the Mayor doesn’t know how the civil employees in this
town fecl, he should make it his business to find out.
It's the job of this newspaper to ascertain just these
facts. And we are grinding no axes when we forward
this information to City Hall, to wit, that. . .
. «« the city’s employees are frightened;
«+. the city’s employees feel, for what reason they
can’t understand, that the Mayor, “has it in” for them;
++. the city’s employees feel that they are being
asked to carry a greater load of the war burden than
other sectors of the populace;
, the city's employees are working in an aura of
low morale.
Mayor LaGuardia knows what it means to fight a war
to win, We've got to say this, Mr. Mayor: you're not
intelligently utilizing the forces of civil service by the
methods you employed to put across the McCarthy
amendments, Nor does it help when your budget direc-
tor hints broadly that more “curtailments” may be in the
wind if your budget winds up slightly in the doghouse. We
have suggested before that you reconsider your policies
with respect to civil service. We'll continue to suggest
it, Because we see the chasm between you and the em-
ployees growing ever wider. That doesn’t help the em-
ployees; it doesn't help you; it doesn’t help the city.
In the War Effort
COG ews wants everybody in war effort,” reads
wi
a newspaper headline, The story goes on to
say that students, older persons, and even
should prepare themselves for a direct job in
housew
the war,
That's as it should be,
But with the urgency of vast production, with the
of menpower developing everywhere .
. what, Mr. McNutt, are you doing about the un-
employed in New York City, still approximately at the
400,000 f'gure?
he Governor of the State and the Mayor of the City
have shown that ways can be found to provide employ-
ment for all these people. Isn't it about time that the
Federal authorities who talk shortages begin tapping this
vast reservoir of manpower?
Fell the 1-A Men
C OMPLAINTS are coming in from men who have
ves
short
passed Federal exams and been certified to posi-
tions, that they're being rejected if they're 1-A in
the draft. The complaints aren't about the rejections —
most of the men can see the reasons—but because the
original announcements didn’t state the full conditions.
It's a simple matter for the Civil Service Commission
to state, when the information is available, that a given
agency won't take men who are close to the draft-dead-
line. It will save frustration and resentment later.
Aftermath
WHAT'S this we hear about
transfers of certain city employ-
ees who have opposed the Mayor
on recent civil service matters?
. Are City auto enginemen slat-
ed for the axe, despite
rapprochement on McCarthy in-
crement amendmentst...Low re-
mark by NYC bigwig when em-
ployee suggested compromise:
“But the City doesn’t gain any-
thing out of this.” As though the
City should gain by depressing its
employees... . Glad to learn that

sioner Powell is investigating the
business of how those baseball

umn first revealed. Plenty there,

what happened to the Mayor's

Draft Hits Home
Hint to deferred men: General
Hershey, Selective Service chief,
has told the draft boards that all
deferments, of whatever nature,
re provisional, subject to with-
drawal,” and every man 20 to 45
years old is a potential soldier,
subject to call if and when, . . «
Talking about the draft: A clergy-
man, describing his work to the
draft board, wrote, “Teach, preach,
marry, and bury.” ... A driver,
answering the same question, wrote
‘Load, drive to destination, un-
load.” . . . Wonder what the Wel-
fare Department is going to do to
replace a number of its key men
slated for the Army? ... Purchase
Commissioner Albert Pleydell is in
tor a fight from some of his em-
ployees, . . . Washington govern-
ment gals are spending their va-
cations helping nearby farmers

Civil Service Tests
For Fighting Men
Sirs: My son is in the Armed
Forces, While he was still in
the States, he filed an applica-
tion for the fireman test, He was
suddenly sent overseas and
could not, of course, take the
exam. He had gone to school and
studied very hard for P, D. and
Fireman's Exam,
There are many men serving
in the Armed Forces of our coun-
try, who like my son, are inter-
ested in civil service careers, but
because of military service in
yarious parts of our country, find
it impossible to keep up with the
Civil Service News; especially
filing for different examinations.
May I respectfully suggest that
these thousands of men, like my
son, who have studied hard, and
hoped to make this test, upon
their honorable discharge from
services, be given a special ex-
amination?
In this way many of the men

BEN HECKER.
Merit
GENTLE Frank Calderone, sec-
retary of the Department of
Health, who has been in that job
only a few weeks now, could
easily have become attached to
the motion picture field—a much
more glamorous occupation.
But Dr. Calderone doesn’t re-
gret the fact that he escaped the
movie realm,
“I’m doing a much more im-
portant piece of work today
synthesizing the business and sci-
entific ends of this occupation,”
he tells you. “And I feel, in a
way, I'm fulfilling my destiny.”
Dr. Calderone never practiced
medicine, though he is a bona-
fide physician. His dad was dy-
ing back in 1925 and, being the
eldest of three brothers, he had
to take over active management
of his dad’s string of seven Long
Island movie and vaudeville
houses. Did so enthusiastically,
too, for he loved it. Who
wouldn't? Despite the fact he
had just been graduated from
New York University Medical
School and apparently was eager
to try himself in that field,
Nickelodeon Tunes
The new Department of Health
secretary, as a matter of fact, had
even more interesting days; he
was stage manager, electrician,
movie operator, piano player pro-
viding nickelodeon tunes (he still
plays the piano), and ever orches-
tra conductor,
“It was the swellest fun I ever
he assures you. Doubtless
How He Became a Doctor
It was during his tinkering with
movie machinery that the future
Dr, Calderone, born March 10,
1901, on the lower East Side, was
to become sufficiently absorbed in
the technical side of things to
want to become an electricsl en-
gincer. Indeed, it wasn’t until
his undergraduate course at
Columbia University that he de-
cided definitely to become a doc-
tor, It was a biology course in
connection with his engineering
desires that led him to look upon
medicine with a new and pro-
found gaze in his twinkling eyes.
A graduate of Stuyvesant High
School in Manhattan, Dr. Cala.
erone moved away from his movie
days in 1931, He had had six
years of it,
He decided to swing back into
the medical field but this time to
concentrate upon research, Ho
enrolled in New York University
Medical School again to busy him.
self with various types of diugs
and potions and he found himse!
within six months, offered an op:
portunity to teach pharmacology
and physiology. From there he
bounded into Johns Hopkins Med-
ical School in Baltimore, Md., for
a year's training course in public
health in 1937. He was consumed
in the scientific end of it.
He was an epidemiologist in
New York State, working out of
Albany and doing a great deal of
investigating work. Then he be-
came a health officer on the low-
er East Side. That was in Feb-
ruary, 1938, That lasted until his
current appointment.
It was during his days as a
health officer that two of the
most important experiences of his
life came to him: (1) he married
Dr. Mary Steichen, concurrently
working in the merit system for
the American Public Health Asso-
ciation, and the mother of one
daughter (they live in an apart.
ment at 400 West 118th Street,
Manhattan); (2) he and his wife,
then working with him, organized
the Mothers’ Health Organization
of the Lower East Side in his old
neighborhood.
This organization, which attract-
ed nationwide attention for its
originality and effectiveness, and
which only recently was permitted
to peter out because of a lack of
funds, was dedicated toward up-
lifting of community health by
educating mothers in the art of
preparing healthier foods. In all,
7,000 mothers, 700 clubs and 70
agencies formed the network of
the organization known also as
“Builders of Democracy,”” Mrs.
Franklin D, Roosevelt addressed
one of its rallies,
“I merely thought the health of
the community was important
enough to warrant a project of
the kind,” Dr. Calderone explains
when ycu press him how he got
the idea for the whole thing.
Simple Tastes
Friendly, smiling, Dr. Calderone
is a man of simple tastes. He got
most of his exercise and enjoy-
ment out of piloting a large
schooner on Long Island Sound
“but now the Coast Guard has
taken that for war patrol," he
fells you a bit regretfully. He
loves to eat, to listen to good
music on the radio, stage and
on records, Otherwise, he’s ‘‘tco
busy to be thinking of entertain-
tainment these days.”
Dr, Calderone thinks he really
can do a swell job combining his
business and scientific experience.
After all, that’s the sort of back-
ground his job calls for more than
anything e
QUESTION, PLEASE
How McCarthy Law
Works
M. U.: Under the McCarthy In-
crement Law, as it stood before
the amendments, a person ap-
pointed in 1988 to a position in
the graded competitive class at
$1,200 a year is entitled to five
inerements which will bring his
salary up to the limit of his
grade, $1,799.99 a year.
If a person appointed to a
Position at a salary below the
minimum of the grade, he is ob-
viously not appointed to a posi-
tion in that grade. He is appoint-
ed to a position in a grade lower
and is entitled to increments
which will bring him to the top
of the lower grade. Thus, if a
person who passes a clerk, grade
2 examination for positions at
$1,200 a year, accepts an appoint-
ment to a position in grade one
at $1,080, he is only entitled to
increments which will bring his
salary to the top of grade one,
$1,199.99 a year, He is not en-
titled to increments which will
bring him to the top of grade
two, $1,799.99 a year,
Getting Your Grade
On a Test
A, W.: The passing mark for
the physical test on the patrol-
man examination was seventy per
cent. You do not add the mark
of 86 per cent which you received
on the mental test, with your
mark of 68 per cent which you
received on the physical test and
divide by two to obtain an aver-
age of 72 per cent. You are auto-
matically eliminated because you
failed to receive seventy per cent
on the physical test.
May Take Test, Even
If Once Arrested
A. L.: A past arrest will not
prevent you from taking a civil
service test. If you pass the
examination, you will be investi-
gated by the Civil Service Com-
mission. It will be up to the dis-
cretion of the Commission to cer-
tify you for appointment. Usually,
when the candidate has shown
that he has been a good citizen
for a period of time since his ar-
rest, the Commission is inclined
to be lenient.
No Guarantee
J. L.: Federal employees who
receive war service appointments
and are subsequently drafted will
not be guaranteed the return of
their jobs. The very nature of
the ‘“war-service appointment’?
indicates that the position will
last for the duration of the war
only.

Council Acts on Increments
(Continued from Page Three)
over, will affect only those who
were receiving above the $1,980
line at the inception of the In-
crement Law, who did not re-
ceive the full four increments and
who should have reached four
increments under the Petrocelli
decision of the Court of Appeals.
Under the agreement, these per-
sons receive one increment from
the present $2,280 to $2,400.
“The impression this compro-
mise leaves is that all of the un-
graded employees go to $2,400, In
reality, only 76 employees of the
ungraded services in the city are
affected."?
‘The new agreement, contends
Mr. Feinstein, doesn’t specifically
state there are to be four in-
crements bringing up salaries to
$2,400 in both graded and un-
graded classes.
Indeed, he went on, the Mayor
concedes nothing at all by this
so-called compromise arrange-
ment, that Mr, LaGuardia still
gets what he originally wanted
that the amendments do not pro-
tect the rights of those in the
service in that city workers have
lost the benefits gained by the
Court of Appeals’ ruling in the
Petrocelli case, that the “thing
is nothing more than a wage-cut-
ting proposition."’
“Governing by Force’?
Mr, Feinstein claimed that ‘‘it
never was the intention of the
Mayor to dismiss the Welfare em-
ployees in the last analysis; it
was merely his method of govern-
ing by force and intimidation to
get what he wants of the Coun-
cil. ‘To say this Is a hell of a way
to run an administration is not
even strong encugh,
“The plain fact of the matter
is that the Increment Law was
never intended to reduce the
salaries of incumbent employees
either in the graded or ungraded
service whether they were af-
fected by the Petrocelli decision
or not.
ion View
A different view was taken by
the State, County, and Municipal
Employees of America, which
characterized the compromise “as
the only sensible way out of a
very difficult situation.”
Mr, James V. King, secretary-
treasurer of the SCMWA held
that ‘the compromise arrived at
by the Mayor and Majority
Leader Sharkey on the amend-
ment of the McCarthy Law re-
moves the threat of dismissal
from more than 250 city employ-
ees and retains for all city em-
ployees increment rights original-
ly intended by the law, That's
the most significant conclusion to
be drawn from this agreement.
“As in the past, all graded em-
ployees will be able to go to the
top of their grades by incre-
ments, playground directors will
continue to receive mandatory
increases to their present ceiling
of $2,100, and present employees
who ave promoted will not be af-
fected by the $480 limit on in-
creases for new employees. The
only change for present employ-
ees is that a $2,400 ceiling is
placed on increments in the un-
graded service.
“There was a lot of howling
and name-calling when the Mayor
first presented his amendments
to the City Council, Admittedly,
there were features to this bill
unrelated to the Petrocelli deci-
sion, which therefore should
have been stricken out. The
SCMWA recognized immediately
that the most important objective
was to prevent the layoff of pos-
sibly 1,500 city employees. This,
we felt, could be accomplished by
a sensible compromise which
recognized that the law should
be changed insofar as it related
to the Petrocelli decision.
“Instead of yielding to the
temptation of exercising our
vocal chords in futile name - cal!-
ing and deluding ourselyes with
the prospect of protracted, ex-
pensive and doubtful litigation,
we set to work in a realistic way
to reach a practical solution to
the situation.
“We regret that this $480 ceil-
ing for new employees was
tained in the final compromise
measure, Nevertheless, the com-
promise must be regarded as the
only ble way out of a very
difficult situation."
Sharkey’s Views
Mr, Sharkey explained, as The
LEADER went to press, that in
sofar as employees ‘now in city
service are concerned, the Coun-
cil majority is willing to amend
the law so as to offset the deci-
sion of the Court of Appeals in
the Petrocelli case, and no
more.”
Mr, Sharkey added, by way of
explaining his motives, that ‘we
agree that the salary paid to any
employee affected by the Mc-
Carthy Law on January 1, 1942,
shall in no case be reduced, re-
gardless of whether the em-
ployee inyolved is in the graded
or ungraded service. It's my be-
lief this compromise gives the
city employee all the increment |™
advantages which were originally
Intended by the city’s legislature
when the McCarthy Law was
first adopted.
“The effect, moreover, of this
compromise proposal is to
promulgate a new salary scale
for those coming into service in
the future, while the wage level
of present employees will remain
substantially the same.”
To all of which Mr, Feinstein
said’ “Ridiculous.””
New Curtailments?
Budget Director Dayton pointed
out this week that further cur-
tailments of personal servic
may easily be made necessary
the auto engineman classification
if back pay runs too high as a
result of the Petrocelli decision.
Moreover, that everybody in-
volve . will be paid if the greater
number signed payrolls under
protests, It is extremely doubt-
ful, however, according to The
LEADER'S survey of the situa-
tion, that the majority signed
payrolls under protest while
awaiting the fruits of the
Petrocelli decision,

know they are all fighting for Helen

ON PARK ROW
Shortages Grow
If the military forces continue
to take the Parks Department's
personnel at the rate they have
been up to the moment—330 are
in the armed services today—the
shortage will reach an alarming
stage by the end of the year, For,
by that time, another 175 will
have been pulled from the ranks,
according to indications, This
covers all titles.
As a matter of fact, serious de-
terioration of the parks system
is the probability.
The solution? Appointment of a
batch of substitutes from eligible
lists. Budget Director Kenneth
Dayton’s office now has this un-
der consideration,
The point is just how far the
City will be willing to go in hir-
ing. these substitutes. The City
has been complaining feverishly
about a lack of money.
Subs to the Rescue
If substitutes are rushed to the
rescue, they will fill as many jobs
as possible except those of a
small section of the regular p.
sonnel getting pay differentials,
‘Thus far this year, 180 have left
the department for active partici-
pation in the war, which indi-
cates that the personnel is being
cut into at a faster clip than
ever. One Parks official told the
LEADER that, if this sort of
thing continues, “quite a dent
will be made" in the personnel
division, He said no serious effect
has been felt, to date, but that
the danger line has already been
reached,
In view of the situation, Park
Commissioner Robert Moses in-
sists upon not granting leaves of
absence to those employees seek-
ing duration war jobs. The only
instances where he is willing to
relent is upon a request made by
the armed forces for some trained
technician to work in a civilian
capacity,
Temporary Help
Currently the temporary help
annually hired for summer work
is enabling the department to get
along though this aid amounts to
less this year than last.
‘The fact is, this department of-
ficial admitted, the burden on
this temporary help has been
rather severe, for ‘'we are trying

FREQU ENCY MODULAT
radio, Introduces the principle
By MIKE SULLIVAN
Cops, Beware!
Tip to the 8,000 patrolmen who
took that sergeant’s test a year
ago last June: Beware of the
“official'' telephone call inform-
ing you that you're number 1 on
the list. More than one anxious,
fretful patrolman has been fooled
by the precinct practical jokester
in recent weeks. Also, beware of
rumors to the effect that the list
is out or that it will be out next
week, We don’t know when the
list will be out—and neither does
anyone else, not even the exam-
iners who are ‘‘still rating the
sergeant’s test,’’ but we do know
this; The sergeant list will not be
out this month!
The Captain’s List
The sergeant rumors have even
affected the presumably more
alert lieutenants who took the re-
cent captain's test. Only last
week, one rumor spread like wild-
fire that the captain's list was
already completed and ready for
publication. The rating of this
two-day, three-session essay type
examination in such a short
period of time would be a physical
impossibility on the part of the
examining staff of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission. Take it from
Samuel H. Galston, assistant di-
rector of the examinations divis-
ion of the Commission, The pub-
lication of the captain's list is
“a way off!”

Will Clerk Test Be Used
‘To Lower Wage Scale?
Will the eligible list established
as a result of the clerk, grade one
test be used to lower the pay-
scales of New York city jobs?
Fears that the announcement
by the Civil Service Commission
of the list’s use under the
process of selective certifica-
tion to fill vacancies in such titles
as attendant, telephone operator,
and messenger would mean the
lowering of salaries paid city em-
ployees in these positions were
expressed by numerous employ-
ees during the week,
In effect, employees in these
titles who are paid from $1,200
a@ year to $1,799.99 a year asked,
“Wiil we be laid off? Will our
e taken by $960 a year
Bligibles who pass the clerk,
grade 1, examination can only be
oppointed to positions paying up
to the maximum limit of grade
1, or $1,199.99 a year. The official
announcement of the Civil Ser-
vice Commission stated that the
list ‘may be certified selectively
where necessary for such posi-
tions as attendant. messenger,
ticket agent, telephone operator,
office appliance operator, typist
and other positions of a similar
character,
Veteran Objects
One of the city employees who
appeared in The LEADER office
and objected to this paragraph in
the clerk, grade 1, announcement
was Alexander Delgado, chairman
of the Veterans Committee of the
Civil Service League, an organ-
ization containing a large nun
ber of attendants. Said Delgado:
“The fact that no attendant test
has been ordered and the Com-
mission has announced that the
clerk, grade 1, list will be used
to fill vacancies as attendants
shows conclusively that the city
intends to cut the pay of at-
tendants."”
Delgado linked the announce-
ment of the clerk, grade 1, ex-
amination with the proposed
amendment to the McCarthy in-
erement law which, he said,
threatens the lowering of attend-
ants wages by $600 a year.
Filing Slight
Meanwhile, filing for the clerk,
grade 1, examination was slight
during the first few days, The
applications are issued each
day except Sundays from 9 a.m,
to 4 p.m, at the Application
| Bureau of the Civil Service Com-
mission, 96 Duane Street, until

mission, although the test is
planned for the latter part of
October or the first two weeks
of November. The complete an-
nouncement of the test appears
on page 12.
Union Plans Action
To Speed Passage
Of Grievance Bill
Plans for the speedy passage of
the bill which guarantees to city
employees the right to organize
and to meet with their depart-
ment heads for the adjustment of
grievances were mapped out at a
special legislative conference of
the New York District of the
State, County and Municipal
Workers of America, according to
an announcement made this week
by Edward Phillips, the union's
legislative director.
“Mayor LaGuardia has re-
peatedly steted the policy of the
city administration on the organ-
izational rights of its employees,”
Phillips said, ‘That policy recog-
nizes the right of city employees
to organize and to be represented
by their elected officials, Unfortu-
nately, various department heads
and administrators have not
implemented this policy by ob-
serving the logical practice which
should flow from it.
“Such failure on their part is
serious in any period,’ Phillips
continued, ‘But in wartime, it
adversely affects the morale of
city workers and makes impos-
sible a fuller contribution to the
war effort in the various city de-
partments through the voluntary
organizations of its employees."”
Cites Sanitation Department
Phillips cited the situation in
the Sanitation Department where
Commissioner Carey has refused
constantly to meet with elected
representatives of the SCMWA as
“the outstanding example of how
the passage of the recognition
bill would aid the war effort."”
He said that additional thou-
sands of tons of vital war ma-
terials could be salvaged if Carey
would adopt the Griesi Plan, pro-
posed several months ago by the
union,
Phillips referred to two recent
7 Out of 10 Pass
Trackman Test
At least seven out of ten track-
men candidates passed the phy-
sical examinations which ended
Monday, August 31 in the City
Building, Flushing Meadow Park,
Corona, L. I., according to esti-
mates made by physical exam-
iners of the Civil Service Com-
mission, The results of the test
are being computed by the Com-
mission now. The list is expected
to be compiled and’ released for
publication in October.
Although no count of candidates
scoring 100 per cent in the phy-
sical test was made, it is known
that at least seven or eight
aspirants for the subway jobs
were able to get perfect marks.
The list will be published in The
LEADER as soon as it is re
leased by the Civil Service Com-
mission,
Fire List Used
For Sheriff Jobs
Jobs as correction officers in
the city-wide office of the
sheriff are being offered approxi-
mately 200 eligibles on the fire-
man list whose names were certi-
fied to Sheriff John McCloskey,
Jr., for appointment by the Civil
Service Commission last week.
The jobs open are permanent
and pay at the rate of $1,769 a
year. The certification reached
as high as the eligible who stands
number 2,309 on the list.
Fire eligibles who accept these
positions will have their names
removed from the eligible list for
a period of one year. Only those
eligibles who are not classified
as 1-A by their draft boards will
be appointed.
Sanitation Promotions
Await McCarthy
Amendments
Promotions to assistant foreman
in the Department of Sanitation
will not be made until the Me-
Carthy increment law is amended,
Thomas J, Patterson, assistant di-
rector of the Budget, stated this
week,
Requests had been made by the
Sanitation Department to make
fifteen promotions from the list
recently established by the Civil
Service Commission. The promo-
tions were planned for the payroll
period beginning with the first or
fifteenth of September.

NewMeritSystemGroup
Takes Ist Public Action
Making its first public appear-
ance after several weeks of plan-
ning, the Committee for Preser-
vation of the Merit System took
a stand against the proposed Mc-
Carthy amendments (see page 3).
A unique organization, the CPMS
is the only association of its
kind in New York City, probably
in the country. On its letterhead
appear the words ‘A Committee
of Civil Service Executives."’ Con-
sisting solely of the heads of civil
employee organizations, the group
plans to take action upon issues
on which all the component or-
ganization heads agree. ‘he com-
bine came into being because of
the feeling among its members
that they could work more effec-
tively on certain broad issues by
pooling their efforts.
Statement of Principles
At its second meeting, the Com-
mittee voted upon a statement of
principles which broadly repre:
sented the ideals upon which the
new group has been founded. The
principles:
1, The Committee for Pres-
ervation of the Merit System
shall safeguard the principle of
merit in recruitment, hiring and
advancement of State and mu-
nicipal employees.
2,The Committee will con-
sist of delegates and/or officers of

sincerely and honestly for remem-

pages to the postal employees
recently, it was most gratifying
to all of us. We appreciate it
more than words can express. We
feel you have a great understand-
ing of our problems, written by
men who. know the business as <
well as our problems.
“Also we think if we had more
straightforward, free thinking,
liberal papers with your policy
devoting time and space to hear
both sides of a story and let the
public read and digest it, being
written by unbiased people who
want no personal gain, we would
more easily gain some small re-
compense which we rightfully and
justly deserve.
“Thanking you again, may your
policy continue in behalf of the
underdog, and may your paper
grow and prosper for the good of
all civil service and government
employees, I remain,

(Continued from age Three)
list will be divided as stated in
the original announcement.”
Two Lists
The patrolman test announce-
ment called for the establishment
of a list for patrolman, (Police
Department) and special patrol-
man (all departments). Specifi-
cally, the announcement said, the
two lists will be set up as follows:
“All candidates who pass both the
written and the physical tests will
be arranged in the order of com-
parative final ratings; the pass
mark for the patrolman (P.D.)
list will be the final rating of
the candidate falling in the middle
of this group. The rest of the
candidates will form the list for
special patrolman,”
‘As revealed exclusively in last
week's LEADER, 3,475 candidates
passed all parts of the patrolmgn
test, Approximately 60 or 75 of
these, however, will not pass the
complete physical test, as they
will have failed to obtain a gen-
eral average of 70 percent in the
physical test, according to Paul
M, Brennan, examiner in charge
of the medical and physical bu-
reau of the Commission, Conse-
quently the total number of can-
didates passing all parts of the
patrolman mental and physical
test with an average of 70 percent
or better should be 3,400, The first
half of these will be on the list
for patrolman (P.D.), the second
half on the list for special patrol-
man, all departments,
1,036 Vacancies
As there are 1,036 vacancies for
patrolmen in the Police Depart-
ment, the prospects for appoint
ment will be excellent for the
1,700 candidates who made the pa-
trolman list. Prospects for ap-
pointment from the second list
should be even better for eligibles
on this list. The various depart-
ments maintaining special police
forces, such as the Board of Trans~
portation, the New York City
Tunnel Authority, the Department
of Correction, the Board of Water
Supply, and others, have been
