Governor Harriman thought the

apiring to their students, Goy-

Teachers’ Retirement
Age Shouid Be Increased
OVERNOR Averell Harriman is strongly in favor of
increasing the state teachers’ compulsory retirement
age ,now 65 to 70, He points out the the age is 70 for the
remainder of the state service, and can see no reason why
the teachers should be penalized. He is quite right. Be-
sides, chronologica) age is becoming less important than
biological age, in many spheres of operation and as many
disciplines, including the Presidency of the United States.
Government has set an example, on the age score,
both as to hiring and retirement. It does not have the rigid
and meagre age limits for appointments that private in-
dustry inflicts, nor does it require one in good health to
retire at a premature age. The Federal government hires
persons more than 70 years old, although on a one-year
renewable basis. Contrast this fact with the recurrence of
the age 85 limit in the advertisements published by private
industry in the help wanted columns of the daily news-
papers.
There is nothing political about a retirement age, al-
though in an election year anything can be distorted into
a political issue. The Governor's proposs!, for which he is
seeking all the help he can get, should win unanimous sup-
port in the Legislature. Fortunately the election will be
ever two months before the Legislature meets.

"The Prosecutor’,
First Novel By
Justice Botein
By PAT KELLY
Possessed of « wealth of ex-
perience beyond that of most
men — and women — Associate
Justice Bernard Botein of the
Appellate Division, has written
bia first novel, "The Proaecutor,”
published by Simon and Schus-
ter ($3.50).
Previously he waa the author
of “Trial Judge,” and co-author
of “Crime and Slum,” both fac-
‘unl, the one about alums being
& standard reference work in
remedial housing. He wrote then
of what he knew well, and he is
equally well fortified for the ven-
ture into fiction, for he was an
Assistant District Attorney of
New York County. He piucks| 1s
vivid memories from his early
deys and implants them in his
novel in @ way that makes them
grow even on the reader, in what
one might call a feat of trans-
Plantation,
He has portrayed well what
back room deals can mean,
whether in behind-the-scenes
politics or otherwise, and de-
picta lively courtroom trinis and
even a touch of Hollywood gla
mor, all with the akill of a sea-
soned novelist.
Prosecutor's Power Biressed
The prosecuting processes are
authentically presented. Only
names, places and other devia-
tons are fictitious, to conceal
real dentition.
Edgar Bailey, # young, bril-

post through political favor, and
then used tt to further his own

the fate of a defendant Regard-
lean of the rights, guilt, or inno-
cence, the prosecutor sometimes
holds more power than even jury
or judge. How this power, held
in @ hand tnvialbly scarred with
ruthless ambition, can prove to
be s most dangerous tool, the
novel shows with dramatic
power,
Justice Boteln has dramatined
also the politician who has “ice

crises encountered in every mar-

It ts based on the premise that

earnings under social security, In
figuring these, up to five years in
which you had no earnings or low-
er earnings may be Jeft out tn
order to keep your benefit from
being substantially reduced,
Is It necessary to be # citizen of
the United States in order to col-
lect Social Security benefits?—B.E.
No. However, there are certain
restrictions on payments to allens
living outside the U. 8,
Is It better for a working woman
to claim her benefit before age
65?—P.0'R.
Tf she chooses the reduced bene-
fit at any age between 62 and 65,
she will be ahead for the first 15
years, However, if she receives a
reduced benefit for more than 15
years, the total amount received
will not be as large as !f she had
waited until age 65 for the higher
benefit

Under the 1956 amendments, a
disabled child of a retired or de-
ceased worker may be eligible to

than feeling thelr pulse, according to the Civil Service Assembly, ;
A physical agility examination ts given, Some exercises dete ©
any malfunction of the body. Other exercises determine coodination
and balance, The last set of exercises tests endurance,
If & man fails to perform one or more of these exercises edequate |
ly, he ts given an opportunity to take a special performance test, Im {
this test three observers watch each candidate do the following: }
(1) Select a tool, load © wheelbarrow, whee! it wp an inclined
surface and dump It,
(2) Unload and reload three sacks of cement from a pickup truck,
(3) Drive an tron stake with a maul,
(4) Select a too) and break through an asphalt surface, On the |
basis of the recommendations of the observers, the applicant is either
rejected or his name is returned to the eligible lst.
Before applicants are examined for physical agility, however, they
Bre screened as to residence, age citizenship, and ability to read and
write. Those who pass are given an application blank and told that |
they should return with a completed application blank and proofs of
what they have said about thelr qualifications. Then, a team ef |
technicians checks the records during a five-minute personal Interview +
to detect any disqualifying police records. Also, notation js made |
of unusual mannerisms or personal characteristics that might help

All who pass the qualifications up to this point are then directed

(SEA'S 9 Proposals for Health Insurance
...And How New York State Blue Cross and
Blue Shield Plans Are Prepared To Meet Them
1, “The insurance should be by a group contract with
uniform rates and benefits.”
Blue Cross and Blue Shield are ready. The facilities
and know-how of New York State Blue Cross and
Blue Shield Plans haye been pooled to provide a
group experience contract with uniform rates and
benefits,
2, “The plan should include a comprehensive basic hos-
pitalization insurance under which the insured’s hos-
pital bill would be paid by the carrier except for the dif-
ference in cost of private accommodations over the cost
ol semi-private. Such basic hospitalization feature should
provide at least 120 days for any one admission and should
tie in with the major medical or catastrophe provisions of
the plan for further hospitalization coverage.”
A Blue Cross Contract with 120 days of comprehensive
hospital service has already been prepared and is
now on file with the New York State Department of In-
surance, Blue Cross and Blue Shield are prepared to
provide a program of extended benefits with payments
toward the cost of Private Duty Nursing, Visiting
Nursing Service, Care for Mental Conditions, Diag-
nostic and Professional Services, Care of Tubercu-
losis Cases, Ambulance Service, Drugs out of the
Hospital, Long Term Hospital Stays and other bene-
fits designed to meet the budgeting requirements of
State employees.
3, “The medical-surgical protection of the plan should
guarantee full payment of medical and surgical expens-
es while the insured employee is hospitalized, and for the
future care of such condition after the employee is dis-
charged from the hospital. We recommend that there be
no income limitation for the payment of medical and surgi-
cal bills, If income limitation be deemed necessary, it
should be fixed at a level high enough to have no adverse
effect on 85-90% of State employees.”
The new comprehensive Blue Shield contract will pro-
vide paid-in-full coverage for surgery and medical
care in the hospital for more than 85% of State em-
ployees, In addition, to State employees with higher
incomes, Blue Shield will make available more liber-
al allowances than now provided under present cov-
erage,
4, “We urge inclusion in the plan of s major medical or
catastrophe insurance to protect State employees
against the crushing financial burden which results from
rolonged illness, We feel that this coverage should be at
Teast $15,000 for an one illness and that it should include
hospitalization, medical and surgical care, private nursing
duty where necessary, nec: ry therapeutical treatments
and allied processes as well as coverage for drugs, phar-
maceuticals and similar expenses.”
Blue Cross and Blue Shield are prepared to provide
an extended benefit program (see #2 above) for pro-
longed illness with benefits designed to meet the bud-
get requirements of State employees, The objective
of the program is to give New York State employees
more benefits at less cost,
§, “We urge that both the basic and the major medical
coverage include nervous and mental disorders.”
Benefits for the care of mental and nervous disorders
have been included in the extended benefit program,
6, “The Association opposes any deductible or co-insur-
ance feature whatsoever in connection with the basic¢
hospitalization and medical-surgical coverage, Any deduc-
tible feature in the basic coverage could well result in an
employee paying more under the new plan than he present-
ly pays for hospit: tion under existing plans, We rec-
ognize that most major medical or catastrophic coverages
include a co-insurance feature as a part of the cost con-
trol. If such is deemed necessary in the State plan we
urge that the percentage of co-insurance be kept at a
minimum consistent with the safety of the plan.”
There are no: deductibles in the comprehensive Blua
Cross Hospital Service Contract with 120 days of paic-
in-full benefits, and the newly designed comprehensive
Blue Shield contract for surgery and medical care in
the hospital,
7, “The Association urges the most liberal underwriting
practices to the end that all State employees be eligible
at the time of the inception of the plan and that there be
no waiting period or exclusion by reason of existing phy-
sical conditions for such employees, We also urge that new
employees be given a liberal period of time to apply for the
plan and that their eligibility be without reference to med-
ical examination, previous medical history or existing condi-
tions,”
Since more than 75% of all State employees are now
enrolled in Blue Crogs and Blue Shield, there will be
no underwriting problems and no waiting periods,
8, “We urge that employees retired at the time of incep-
tion of the plan be covered to the maximum extent
which it is possible to provide consistent with the cost there-
of, We feel that such coverage should be separate and dis-
tinct from that active employees plan in order that the ex-
perience of the already retired group would not be con-
soeree in the experience rating of the active employes
plan.”
It has always been the practice of Blue Cross and
Blue Shield—and it will continue to be the practice
of these non-profit community sponsored Plans—to
provide for retired employees.
9, “We feel consideration should be given to the follow-
ing in arranging the contract:
a. Waiver of premium for employees suffering pro-
longed disability who are off the State payroll.
b, Appropriate conversion privileges at time of ter-
mination of employment other than by retirement.
¢. Non-cancellability.
d, Coverage of dependent children after 18 while at-
tending school or college.
Continuity of protection is a basic principle of Blue
Cross and Blue Shield. The employee who leaves the
group for any reason whatsoever will have the right to
continue basic Blue Cross and Blue Shield protection
ona direct payment basis.
With legislative approval, the present 19 year old
limitation for the child covered under a Family mem-
bership could be extended up to 23 years of age.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield do not cancel a sub-
scriber’s membership because of age or excessive uno
of services... there is no red tape when services are
required, Blue Cross and Blue Shield Identification
Cards assure prompt service. Blue Cross pays the
hospital while Blue Shield pays the doctor,

Meal Charges
Is Widspread
Still Considerable Turnover
Besides memoranda to New
York City officials, and petitions
to the Mayor, Local 237, Team-
sters, Is using additional means
to get meal charges in the Depart~
ment of Hospitals cancelled.
One of the factors pointed out
he the union is the turnover ia
the hospital personnel affected by
the meals charge. While the enor-
been greatly reduced, the figure
fe reported to be 20 percent still,
which would be large for any oth-
er department, or service branch
of a department, and appears
smal! only becutise of contrast with
the prior enormity In the Hos-
Pitals Department.
All employees subject to the
meal charge would have to pay
alike, and would have to buy at
lonat 10 tieke! a time,
Another employee complaint ts
that payment might be required
at the very time that they cant
afford to make {t, as Just before
pay day. But thelr major object~
ive is not only simply to have the
payment method adjusted, but the
wholt project abandoned.
Personal Appeals to Officials
The idea of meal charges started
fast year, as « provision in the
1965-56 budget, and charges were
in effect for about two weeks,
@uring which time the union ma
tom was d ‘ed until the subse-
quent budget. That ts the budget
that has gone Into effect. It con-
supported the) tains the meals charge provision.

cancellation, so much so, that It
resorted to personal sppeala to

who will discuss the subject In ex-

To Be Told Job
Audit Results
Answering what he described aa
“a very serious accusation” by the
@ivil Service Forum, that secrecy
marks job audits, Personnel Direc-
tor Josep!, Schechter wrote Frede-
re Q. Wendt, Forum Preaident,
@aying that all 15,000 employees
whose jobs have been audited will
be notified of results.
Mr, Schechter's letter:
“Following accepted personnel
tices, both public and private,
@ submitted preliminary recom~-
mendations for recinasification to
department heads for their confi-
@ential consideration. This was
@one in Inte May or early June,
1956. The department's reactions
to our proposals on these indi-
Vidual positiona were conaldered,
fey fn early July department
\ds were officially notified of the
mew titles for the nearly 3,000 em-
loyees who received upward re-
jasaifieation. Simultaneously th
fmformation was released to the
sivil service press, and was given
Wide publicity. It t# our feeling
that publicity was given to de-
terminations at the earliest
gible time consonant with the
management principles.
*, Bie Job
‘Becondly, you have charged
What we have deliberately failed to
e@nnounce the classification evalu-
tions for sll positions surveyed.
‘ing the past weeks we have
been in the process of developing
plans and procedures to officially
otify all 18,000 people audited of
the results of this survey. This ts
‘understandably a tremendous cler-
Seal task. Also, the information has
Rot been released, pending the es-
fablishment of rules, reguistions
and forms by the Classification
Appeals Board. We believe that it
would be fairer to employees and
would avoid unnecessary commu-
Bications to include in the oMcial
Botice of classification full infor-
Mation concerning appeais proce-
@urea and avaliability of formy.
“Thirdly, it is our firm belief
What we conducted the audit of
Poaltions on the basis of the dutiss
and responsibilities of the posi-
tion, and not of the particular in-
dividuals who happened to be the
incumbents. An elaborate position

eystem has been developed and ls
already operating in certain areas
as & result of our desire to clearly
Gifferentinte between the position
and the Incumbent.
