(Special to the Leader)

ALBANY, Oct. 7—Refusal of the State Division of the
Budget to Issue a directive on overtime practices under the
new State attendance rules drew a sharp reply last week
from Josesph F, Feily, president of the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn., who had sought the directive.

“unnecessary and unwise.”

letters from Association President
| Joseph P, Pelly to:

© Governor Nelson A.
Rockefeller, requesting ap-
proval of an amendment to
the state attendance rules
that would provide vacation
credits for employees with
seven or more years of ser-
vice on an equivalent basis
with employees who were em~
ployed prior to 1957;

plementation of a change in

the attendance rules that
would allow State employees

Feily pointed out that an
amendment providing vacation

been approved by the Civil Ser-
vice Commission but still awaits
the Governor's approval. Feily ap-

the Party workers had no direc-
tion and stayed idie in the club
house," he said. “This lack of
direction hurts the Party more
than anything else because it
takes it out of touch with the
people.”
Two Major Goals

Two major goals have been set
by Costikyan during the next two
years—a change in the yoter reg-
istration system and legislative
reapportionment.

Of the first, Costikyan says
that only 50 percent of eligible
voters bother to register. One
major block is the literacy test,
he claims, “and this does not
mean we are encouraging iliiter-

| major projects now as the means
| to increasing Democratic strength
| and leadership here,” he said.
|"We have to win not only elec-
| tions but the confidence of a
| large electorate. It is a program
for the people—and I am wel-
coming help from any source to
accomplish it.”

In conclusion, Costikyan said,
“There is nothing I would like
to see more than the minority

‘Of CSEA’s Western Conference

delegates, the Resolutions Committee submits its report to
them on or before September 10 of each year.

The Resolutions Committee is
@ standing committee, receiving
its authority from the constitu-
tion of the association, Its mem-
bers, representing various sections
and departments of State and
County government, are appoint-
ed by the president. The chair-
man of the committee, by virtue
of his office, becomes a non-yot-
ing member of the board of direc-
tors.

How It Works

The constitution of the Asso-
elation provides that all proposed
resolutions shall be presented in
writing to the committee prior to
August 20 of each year, The en-
tire process is illustrative of the
democratic functioning of the
Association, Although most of the
Tesolutions are submitted by
chapters and conferences, after
debate and deliberation, a good

Number are received from indl-
viduals.

All proposed resolutions sub-
mitted to the Resolutions Com-

mittee are carefully considered
and anatyzed. The committee Is
assisted by the chairman of ‘the
Legislative Committee, by our
counsel and the assistant execu-
tive director of the Association
One of the selected officers of the
Association & member ex-
officia of the committee.
Whenever necessary the com-
mittee will submit proposals to
various special committees, such
aa the Pension-Insurance, Atten-
dance Rules and Salary Commit-
tees, for Information and advice.
Conferences have been held with
the of committees.
In this way differences of opinion

chairmen

and viewpoint have been recon-
clled. To assist the Resolutions
Committee experts from the Re-
tirement System have been In-
vited to address the committee

And to answer questions pertin-
ent to proposed resolutions.

The resolutions are divided Into
those requiring legislation, those

that may be resolved by adminis |

trative action and, finally, those
that relate to the Internal struc-
ture and problems of the Asso-
ciation.

All proposed resolutions a)
acted upon by the entire com-
mittee. When a resolution Is dis-
approved, the sponsor of the pro-
posal is notified of the commit-
tee action and the reason there-
fore. In the ease of conflicting
resolutions, a cholce is made by)
the committee and the propo-|
nent ts so advised. Resolutions
requiring administrative action|
by the president are referred to
him for disposition, In acting on|
resolutions the committee votes
on every proposal and the ma-
Jority vote of the committee is
controlling

In the Open

A further demonstration of the
democratic manner of our work Is
the open meeting held by the
Resolutions Committee during
the annual delegate meeting tn
October. At this open meeting any
delegate may appear before the
Resolutions Committee to ch:
longe its decision and to request
a further explanation of tts
action on a particular proposed
resolution.

The final report of the Resolu-
tlon Committee ts then presented
to the assembled delegates at the
annual meeting. The chairman of
the committee presents each re-
solution separately to the dele-
gates for a volce vote. On the
motion for adoption of the re-
solutions all questions and debate
are permitted, It ls the majority

Order Or Anarchy?

W HAT programs have State, City and local administra-
trations prepared to fend off public employee strikes
against government?

We ask the question in view of the fact that the recent
threat of a strike by New York City teachers seems not to
have taught much of a lesson to government. Reports of
picket lines upstate and down are constant and the idea of
mass demonstration threatens to become a popular device for
winning gains from government.

This lead us to ask other questions. What 1s the role of
responsible employee organizations who seek sucess over the
bargaining table instead of jn the streets? What answers
does government have to these organizations when anarchy
wins a point that peace and order did not?

In the South we find elected offcials, sworn to uphold
the laws of the land, being the chief violators of those laws,
If officials deny the law, why should the citizenry do other-
wise?

The same arguments are beginning to appear here. If
brute strength can bring victory, why bother with orderly
procedures—especially when not only are violations of an
anti-strike law not punished but also when muscle produces
money where none was said to be had,

The only answer to this threatened anarchy is the
preparation by government of honest and fair employee
programs—and the courage to stick to them, The time for
such programs is now.

Room At The Top

NE way to keep good employees is to have room at the
top for them in the executive ranks. Nothing en-
courages application to the task more than the chance for
reward in terms of promotion. This is the main device used

| Hon. Arthur Levitt,

State Comptroller,

270 Broadway

New York, N.Y.

Attention; Mr. Braun, Assistant
Comptroller
Dear Sir:

An application for a loan was
made against my accumulated re-
Urement fund, No, 108868 on

in private business and industry to hold on to key personnel,
not only in the top flight jobs but also the important middle
section of management,

It so happens that this is the weakest area In public
employment. The lack of advancement opportunities (to say
nothing of low salaries) is one of the most severe problems
facing the civil service today.

Last week, this newspaper reported that there was al-
most a consistent flight of one-third of top echelon personnel
from the Federal service, New York State and City face a
similar loss in top people. In addition, good people in the |
lower ranks—who could develop their talents and become
eligible for these higher posts—leave public employment be-
cause they see the road to promotion blocked by lack of
opportunity,

The State Civil Service Department has checked this
Dight to some degree through its inteligent “in-service”
training programs, which have uncovered some first rate
exercutive talent and moved these people into higher |
positions. Career promotions in City service. are less frequent.

In the main, however, government has gone outside
to offer the really big jobs in civil service to persons trained
in private industry, This may have been necessary at one
time but the present high quality of civil servants should
now put a stop to this practice,

Government today is so complex that it would seem
common sense to put its administration in the hands of those
who are best trained in the fleld—the career civil servant,

Your Public
Relations IQ

Mr. Margolin is Adjunct Professor of Public Relations in the
New York University School of Public Administration and is Vice
President, Public Relations, of A. J. Armstrong Co., a
‘The views expressed in this column are those of the writer and de

An Intelligent Approach

INTELLIGENT public relations, carefully planned and
executed, can be most effective in bringing order out of con-
fusion.

IF A CONTROVERSY is involved, a public relations pro-
gram, implemented by well-conceived communications, can
clarify the issues and make possible intelligent decisions by
the public involved.

FOR YEARS, the misunderstanding about mental illness
has been a big “minus” mark for practically all communities.
All mental {llIness was arbitrarily labeled “insanity” and
hidden away in the most inaccessible closet that could be
found.

IT TOOK A lot of persuasion by the more intelligent ele-
ments of the various publics to bring “insanity” out into
the bright daylight, change the forbidden word into the
enlightened phrase of “mental illness.” In addition, intel-
Hgent public relations showed these were various kinds and
degrees of mental illness.

TO THE MEDICAL men and women and the social work-
ers—both groups aided and abetted by community opinion
leaders—who brought mental illness out into the open, the
community owes everlasting gratitude.

NOW THAT MENTAL illness is out in the open for all
to sse and think about, still another problem has arisen:
Where does one got to treat mental illness, or get informa-
tion to handle a prospective mental problem?

TO GOVENMENT, particularly the State and City govern-
ments, has fallen the problem of dealing with mental illness,
The State of New York runs nearly all the mental illness
hospitals, but in New York City the municipal government
has accepted no small part of the responsibility.

THE CITY HAS established and runs the New York City
Community Mental Health Board, which coordinates mental
health services and acts as a central information agency
for the various facilities, private and public, where mental
iiness can be treated.

AN EXAMPLE of a fine communications within the
Board's public relations program, is its 30-page “Guide to
Mental Health Services for New York City Residents 1963"
which was published recently.

UNTIL THE BOARD began issuing its listings two years
ago, confusion reigned whenever the “where” question arose.

THE BOARD'S guide lists more than 200 places where a
person needing mental illness help can go, Each group of
facilities is listed with address and phone number, Each
facility listed is licensed, although the Board makes no en-
dorsesment of any facility.

IN PRINTING the facts about the outpatient clinics, the
Guide tells precisely what groups each facility serves. In
addition, there is an index which records facilities for emo-
tionally disturbed children, alcoholies, narcotic addicts, and,
importantly, walk-in emergency service,

THE STAFF members of the Board should be congratu-
lated for their intelligent public relations approach in solving
@ wexing problem. All government agencies can cooperate in
the dissemination of valuable information by obtaining
copies of the Guide from the New York City Community
Health Board, 93 Worth St., New York 13, N.Y.

Jer has the staff and time to make

ROBERT M. REIFFIN

Dismissal Appeal

Box 100:

I was employed by the Depart-
ment of Correction as an woman
correction officer for a period of
eighteen months. I worked very
hard for thirteen months as a
provisional and after that period
I was appointed, through com-
petitive examination to the posi-
tion, At the end of a six month
Probation period—Iin fact on the
very last day—I was dismissed.

Here ure the facts: The Cor-
rection Department said I was a
good officer. I passed a civil serv-
ice examination which, to my
mind, proved I could do the job.
They hired me for nineteen
months, and got me used to work-
ing for the Department. Then
they closed the door in my face
without telling me why or giving
me the benefit of hearing or a
warning,

the Editor

The Commissioner has the right
to pick one officer out of three to
pass probation. There two
lists; One for the men and one
for women,

As a female officer I came into
the Department alone, I was
sworn in alone, I went on proba-
tion as the only female alone and
I was terminated alone. Where Is
the consideration for a one out of
three rule?

How can an officer work for
nineteen months in an institu-
| tion, understand the rules, work
all shifts, be respectful, and have
good public relations and then be
| subjected to such hard and final
Judgement?

I need my job badly and I was
thinking of the Correction De-
partment as a lifetime job. Please
let me know what, if anything,
can be done in my case?

DIANE COLEMAN

Editor's Note: The Correction
|Department, while refusing to

out that the former employee may

k nom @ few hundred mem-

bers at its founding to the
largest single employee organi-
zation unit in the State of New
York, the Civil Service Em-
ployees Association has been the
most vital instrument of progress
in the history of public employ-
ment in New York State.

The capsule history of CSEA
presented below captures the
highlights of this unique growth
and development. What it does
not describe ave the efforts of
the thousands of individual,
dedicated CSEA members who}
gave of thetr time and devotion
to make this story possible. The
history below is, in itself, a tri-
bute to those unnamed soldiers
in the ranks of CSEA—

What's Doing In City Departments

Everybody knows that the
Health Department is seeking
permission to exterminate the
City's 3 to 5 million pigeons be-
cause they are spreading fatal dis-
eases. But nobody knows which
City employees will do the job
+». or how.

Employees of Air Pollution,
Buildings, Health, Sanitation,
Parks, and the Housing Authority
could be called upon to haul out
the butterfly nests. When the
Leader tried to answer the ques-
tion, nobody would say nuthin.”

“You can't see the trees for the
cars,” or 80 some people are say-
ing in regard to Traffic Commis-
sioner Barnes’ new proposal.
‘Traffic wants to build an under-
ground low-cost parking garage
beneath Madison Square Park in
Manhatian on 23rd Street.

If the garage is built, the trees |

will have to be removed and re-
placed by shrubs, Citizen groups
are opposing the plan with hopes
of “seeing the park for the trees.”

Two women and 24 men were
officially promoted recently in
ceremonies held in the office of
Sanitation Commissioner Frank
J. Lucia.

The promotions in the unl-
formed force included two Distriet
Superintendents, seven foremen,
and ¢ight assistant foremen. Up-
grading in the clerical force ad-

improvements of the program.
The chairman of the Pension-
Insurance Committee advises the
CSEA president relative to in-
surance coverage covering Asso-

ciation property, staff, ete.

In recent years, this Commit-
tee has met more frequently than
ever because of increased respon-
sibilities concerning pension pro-
grams and ever-expanding CSEA
insurance programs, as well as

Public Relations--Before,
During And After The Act

By FOSTER POTTER, Chairman, Public Relations Comm.

One of the least understood and yet one of the most far reaching, influential com-
mittees of the Civil Service Employees Association ts Public Relations. "

It ts easy to see why there

In renouncing the use of

vade the provinces of the Asso-|
ciation officers, the directors, the
staff, other committees. Por ex-|
ample, I have been asked the |
question; “Your responsibility ts)

exists a general impression that|
the Public Relations Committee
is concerned chiefly with pub-
licity. That belief can be related
to the misconception that public
relations and publicity are inter-
changeable terms.

Establishing and maintaining
good relations with the associa-
tion’s various publics are achieved
by numerous means. The various
publics themselves comprise the
mombers and thelr families or
the internal public, the elected
and appointed representatives of
the governmental bodies which
employ our members, and the
public-nt-large. Both of the latter
categories may be described
simply as external publics

Some Methods

How does your Public Rela-
tions Committee, as presently
consiituted, urge that deservediy
good impressions of the public
servant and his job be communt-
cated to the largest publics? By
pleasant answering of the tele-
phone, by prompt, courteous and
unsticky replies to correspon-|
dence, by first doing something |

of yours if the field men receive |
specialized training for thelr
work?" But the field men are
important to the complete public |
relations effort and how they)
perform their job ts definitely a
matter for consideration by the
Public Relations Committee.

The Civil Service Employees Assn. was formed in 1910. Its first president was William
the committee seemingly may in- | M. Thomas, a court reporter who was director of the stenographic bureau of the State Law)
| Department. Its initial membership was limited mainly to several hundred people in the

istrative leaders in state and local
government and has been the
outstanding champion of the
Civil Service Merit System in all)
levels of government in New York |
State since its organization.

Hay Fulfilled Purpose

32 years’ of service to CSEA has
been the opportunity to meet so

many fine, dedicated people
whose dedication makes the basis
of success for CSEA a continuing
one.

because of their conviction that the people are entitled to

ervice, Civil Service Employees

Assn, members rely heavily on their Grievance Committes
for help in arriving at just and equitable solutions of their

mittee, it was said that “a mile~
stone in Association history has
been attained.”

Recognizing that, at times,
grievances deal with bread and
butter issues affecting individuals
in the 112,000 membership of the
Association, the Grievance Com-
mittee at the October, 1961 dele-
| gates’ meeting sponsored, and
had approved unanimously a re~
solution which called for an ex-
panded legal program providing
for full and complete legal repre-
sentation of aggrieved members.
Previously, legal assistance had
been limited to a maximum of
$150,

Chapter Level Study

| The committee recently made
an exhaustive survey of grievance
procedures at the chapter level
which resulted in improving re-
lationships of field representa-
tives and chapter officers; and
in making more effective the
techniques and services rendered
by the chapters to members with
grievances. In connection with
this, the committee is now pre-
baring a grievance handbook for
distribution to CSEA member-
ship.

Future plans of the commitice
Include urging action to have
CSEA declared sole representa-
tives of State employees and to
have the State's grievance
machinery enacted into law in-
stead of operating under execu-
tive order,

Other members of the griev-
ance committee are, Vincent
Alessi, Anna Aungst, L. Carl
Berry, Nicholas Cimino, Daniel A.
Daly. Thomas Dobbs, Helena

Harold Raymond, Issy Tessler
and Claude E. Rowell, consultant.

CSEA has fulfilled, during its
53rd year history, tts stated pur-
pose to uphold and extend the
principle of merit and fitness in
public employment, to maintain
and promote efficleney in public
service and to advance the in-
terest of all civil service em-
ployees.

Probably the best evidence of
the quality of performance of
CSEA Is its present membership
of over 115,000.

Contributing to this tremen-
dous growth Is the fact that
CSEA enjoys the active efforts
and interests of the most unsel-
fish ciyll service employees—its
officers and committee, and those
of its 200 chapters—who receive
no salary from CSEA. It is a co-|

Under the directive Feily want-
ed, employees forced to work
more than 40 hours without
equivalent time off would receive
greater protection from excessive
overtime. Marshall said that the
“blanket scope” of the suggested
directive might be construed as
eritical of the manner in which
supervisors have implemented the
new overtime rules,

As a result, sald Marshall,
supervisors might be reluctant to
order overtime work when needed
and that employees might “resort
to the (suegested) directive” as a
basis for refusing any overtime
service, even when the request ts
Teasonable and necessary,

To this, Peily answered that it
appeared that the Administration
already did not have much-faith
in the responsibility of State
agency heads if they thought
such a‘simple directive would be

misinterpreted,
No Concern For Aides
“It ts quite apparent.” sald

Feily, “that the unfavorable de-
cision conveyed in your letter ls

what may be ‘unnecessary and
unwise’ for the State Administra-
tion, without any consideration
of the interests of the employees.”

Social Committee

Although the activities of the Social Committee of the
Civil Service Employees Asssociation are confined, generally,
to two main functions annually—the delegate meetings in
the Fall and Spring—the committee actually is hard at
work preparing for these two events months before they

take place,

Our committes 1s specifically
charged with developing and re-
commending adequate plans for
entertainment and soclal satis-
factions of delegates and mem-
bers at all state-wide meetings
and affairs aproved by the presi-
dent.” Over the years, the social
committee has taken on more
and more responsibility necessar:
in making the Association's an-
nual meetings the success we
trust they are.

Plenty of Detail

In addition to working closely
with the president in choosing the
site of our annual meetings, we
also assist in making complete
arrangements with the manage-
ment of the site chosen for the
annua! dinner and other social
activities offered at each of the
meetings

It is the responsibility of our
committee to not only set up and
execute the complete dinner
plans, from selection of menu to

seating arrangements of all
guests and delegates, but to be
physically present at the dinner
to receive guests, supervise staff,
handle reservations, seat unex-
pected guests, accommodate late
arrivals and to cope with all the
many last minute detatls that

necessarily arise at complex af-
fairs where 600 to 700 people are
tn attendance
Program Arrangements

The mittee also supervises

Civil Service Procedures

Nassau, Perrott said, “50 percent
are evading proper procedures

employees.” These would include
cleaners, custodians, and super-
intendents of buildings and

must act to set up proper stan-
dards and procedures to solve
these problems,

The Nassau CSEA officials are
particularly angered by the

failure of the school districts |

which request examinations to
make use of the lists. A recent

“Unfortunately,” he added, “in
districts where the local favorite,
or political son, failed the test,
the district will ask for @ short

fames on it, they are allowed to
wait until next year. This gives
their man another chance to pass
the test. In districts where only
the one they wanted passed, they
will take him from the existing
list, whether there are three

CSEA Is fighting against.”

Kenyon directed similar com-
