WE PARTICULARLY WEL-
COME a new book because It's

all good. In fact, excellent!
“Handbook of Practical Public
Relations” by Alexander B.

Adams (Thomas Y. Crowell Co.)
is underpriced at $6.95. There are
so many useful things in this
book, it's difficult to know where
to begin.

Gescription is about the only
Part of the book which is in
error. The handbook happens to
be as valuable to the pro as to
the non-professional. To this
we can personally testify because
we have seen professionals make
the very mistakes against which
Mr. Adams warns.

TRUE, THERE ARE many pro-
fessionals among government pub-
Nce information officers, many
of them appointed through civil
service, But there are many more
assigned to public information du-
ties who were not professionally
trained.

FOR BOTH GROUPS of gov-
ernment information officers, Mr.
Adams’ 327-page book is a “find.”
The writing is simple, straight-
forward, honest, and most knowl-
edgeable. The author endeared
himself to us particularly with
these words of public relations
wisdom :

“THE GENERAL RULE 1s
Never hold a press conference if a
press release or a telephone call
will do as weil.”

WE URGE OUR readers to
underline this in the book when
they get it, so that they can
show {t frequently to an impetu-
ous superior who feels that press
conferences are for every occa-
sion, even to announce the
furbishing of the ladies’
room

THERE ARE MANY fine fea-
tures in the book's 16 chapters
and appendixes, but what is by
itself worth the price of admis-
sion are the “don'ts” and “do's”
My. Adams has pjaced at the
close of some of his chapters. We
wish he had used the “don'ts”
and’ “do's” technique at the end
of all his chapters, They are
invaluable to both the pro and
the amateur

FOR EXAMPLE, one of the
“don'ts” in the chapter on print-
ed materia! cautions against
writing without knowing “what
audience you are trying to reach”
—sn absolute fundamental to
successful communications in
public relations.

IN THE CHAPTER on writ-
ing press releases, Mr, Adams is
at his ‘best. We have said on
[many cceasions that press re-

Mr. Adams does some outstand-

OF COURSE, THE best way to
learn how to write a saleable press
release is to write them, write
them again, and again. for many
years. Sometime during that span

Warning - Don’t
Cancel Health
Insurance Yet

ALBANY, Sept. 6 — The In-
surance Committee of the Civil
Service Employees Assn, has
urged all members not to can-
‘cel State Health Insurance or

other health insurance plans in
anticipation of coverage under
the new Federal “Medicare” legis-
lation,

The committee gave the warn-
ing as a result of discussion at
a recent meeting In Albany at
which the Medicare legislation
passed recently by Congress was
discussed. The committee sald it
would request Governor Rocke-
| feller to formulate a concrete
Statepolicy in relation to the
effect of Medciare on employees
65 years of age or older, In addi~
tion, the committee said it would
request the Governor to allow
CSEA to participate in the formu-
lation of such a policy.

The committee was particularly
concerned that the wide-spread
| publicity given to Medicare” may
lead persons 65 and over to as-
sume they are covered prior to
the effecitve date of the leigsla-
1966.

The committee pointed out that
although the Social Security Ad-
ministration’s enrollment program
will begin within a week or two,
no benefits under the program
will be available before July 1,
1966 and, therefore, unless in-
dividuals retain their present cov-
erage, they will be without pro-
tection in the interim,

of high-level appointments
through the upgrading of Gov-
ernment employees whose years
of training in government gives
the man added luster in the Prest-
dent’s eye; the gaze of a man with
a passion for administrative

Chairman Macy, who is in a way

cast his lot with the workings of
Government as an operative—an

will, and the man who is in the
best position to spot the rising

half of the appointments which
traditionally have been made
through political affilliations and
as rewards for breadcasting, have
gone to career employees. Por ex-
ample, recent ambassadorships
have gone to career diplomats at
@ ratio of three to one.

Through Macy’s catalogueing of
potential leaders and adminis-
trators within his charge and
throughout the nation, the Presi-
dent is able to make some very
surprising and unusually effec-
tive appointments. He is parti-
cularly pleased when, in time of
need for a specific talent, he can
reach out and pluck a plum of
previously overlooked talent with

ability and intelligence, one who
has performed well in a tough
and often unsung position, can
be appointed to a position for
which he may not appear to
have the accepted prerequisites. A
quick look at those who are close
to him in the administration
bears witness to this, Arthur Gold-
berg the new U.N. Ambassador
who has little background in
foreign affairs and the Presi-
dent’s special assistant and now
press secretary, Bill D. Moyers,
& former theology student and a
man who has no background in
Journalism are two outstanding
examples,

The way feels to be charted
then for an approach to admin-
istrative casting based on the
ability of the performer and an
undercutting of the political bed-
fellow gratuitousness which has
been to important a factor for
so long.

Its effect on the civil servant
should be as important as Presi-
| dent Kennedy's emphasis on youth
was to the political consciousness
of the country’s young people.
The added incentive to the Fed-
eral employee of knowing that he
can advance, through excellence
all the way to the top in the
service of the country ts an in-
tangible that could take the onus
of medocrity, where it exists
from the image and the reality
of @ career in government.

Early Recognition

OVERNOR Nelson A. Rockefeller last week put into words

something that State employees have known with con-
yiction all the time—that the State's workers deserve sub-
stantial pay adjustments.

Speaking at the New York State exposition in Syracuse
last week, Rockefeller told a group of newspaper reporters
that pay adjustments would be needed in order for the State
to maintain its competitive position in the labor market.
Naturally, the governor did not mention any specific figure.

Rockefellef’s announcement, which came without any
forewarning, was unusually early but not entirely unexpected.
‘The Civil Service Employees Assn, produced undeniable evi-
dence during this past year that State employees needed a
pay raise, But this evidence was ignored by both the admin-
istration and the Legislature. It would have been incredible
to have believed that such evidence would be dismissed for
the second year in a row.

We must congratulate Governor Rockefeller for his early
Tecognition this year of the need to publically state his sup-
port for wage boosts, State employees should be thankful
for the persistance of the Employees Association in hammer-
ing away constantly for salary increases,

Both efforts, however, are only the beginning. The sup-
port of the Legislature must still be confirmed and the fina)
formula must provide fair pay boosts in all grades.

In essance, the State salary picture is a good one now.
It will take united and total support of State workers to in-
Spire that the final picture is a rosey one to all concerned,

Buck Passing-City Style

HENEVER something goes wrong in government and

the press finds out about it, it seems that responsible

Officials must find an underling as a scapegoat. This, it ap-

pears, is standard procedure designed to show super-effi-
ciency and speed In remedying a situation,

In most cases the order goes out to suspend the individ-
ual—guilty or innocent—who happened to be in the neigh-
borhood at the time. Often the unhappy victim has no re-
course but to find another job to undertake a long, involved
and expensive legal proceeding to clear his name and—if he
Still has a taste for it—resumes his career in government.

Last week the Department of Water Supply, Gas and
Electricity in an unusually speedy announcement exonerated
two civil servants who had been accused of negligence in
their duties.

The Departmental hearing came about because the Com-
missioner of that department, Armand DeAngelo, decided
that the “buck had to be passed” to someone for the water
problems that New York City is having.

We are pleased to see that the hearing, in exonerating
these two men, in effect, placed the responsibility of running
the department at the doorstep of the one who js in charge,
namely the Commissioner.

A study of the problem in this department should be
undertaken by the City Administration and their findings
made known, and as quickly as possible,

Well Deserved Honor

civil service union leader 1s being honored next week |

by members of his own organization. This man has
@one more to place the story of the Brooklyn Navy Yard
before the people then any publicity agent could,

Since the announcement that the Brooklyn Yard would
be cloosed, he has been in the forefront of every effort to
bring reasonableness and understanding to the problems of
the workers at the yard,

He has placed his own career in jeapordy, a career that
has spanned over 13 years, because of his moral obligation
to the men that he represents,

We congratulate Jim Dolan of the Brooklyn Metal Trades
Council on his day in Brooklyn,

Seeks Reclassification
Editor, The Leader;

We are still wondering why we
have not been mentioned in the
October ist reclassification of
Mental Hygiene telephone opera-
tors. We have gone to Albany
for conferences, we have written
to our delegates, and yet we are
not even considered or men-
tioned for reclassification, won-
dering if we are working for
the State or not.

We work two and a half hours

“|@ week longer than other State

telephone operators, we are sched-
uled for seven days a week with
two days off, we work Satur-
days, Sundays and Holidays, three
shifts with the 412 ‘and 128
shift alone with the responsibility
of the entire hospital, we have
checked salaries of government
and city telephone operators sal-
aries and We are approximately
20 to 30 percent lower than their
rate, yet we still have all the ad-
ditional duties, too numerous to
mention, which we have submitted
to our representatives in Albany,

There must be someone in Al-
bany who likes us.

SOCIAL SECURITY

My wife and I will both be 65
in a few months, I have had a
steady job for over 10 years at
$300 a month, What would our
situation be for social security if
I decide to work part-time for
$150 a month?

Your monthly payment would
be $105 and your wife's would be
$52.50, for a total of $157.50. This
amounts to 1,890 per year. But
the extra $50 & month would
mean a reduction in your benefit.
Earnings of $1,800 a year would
cut off $350 of the $1,890, leaving
you $1,540 a year plus your sal-
ary, And, incidentally, no taxes
would be payable on the social
security benefits,

eee

I have changed my address and
have notified the post office. Is
this enough to change the address
on my social seourity checks?

No, You should also notify so-
cial security of your new address,

Civil Service
Law & You

By WILLIAM GOFFEN

(Mr, Goffen, a member of the New York Bar, teaches law at the

College of the City of New York, is the author
articles and co-authored “New York Criminal Law.

iny books and

IN THE DEVELOPMENT of American law, the philosophy
of jurisprudence still plays a significant role, The essential
characteristic is the conviction that law is discovered by
research, and the result of such research is conclusive no
matter what the social consequences. The jurist who adheres
to the school of historical law may demonstrate a high degree
of scholarship in discovering the law, Yet, the decision
reached may be sociologically unsound and, indeed, accom-
panied by the jurist’s expression of regret for its necessity.

ON THE IDENTICAL facts, the equally scholarly jurist
who is a follower of the school of sociological jurisprudence
may reach an entirely different determination from his
brother on the bench, Such determination is influenced by
the belief that legal abstractions must yield to the social
good.

ILLUSTRATIVE OF THESE two schools of legal phil-
osophy are the Second Department's majority and minority
opinions in Chavich vy, Board of Examiners, (N.Y. Law Jour-
nal, August 24, 1965). The majority opinion, reflecting the
historical jurisprudence philosophy, is the subject of to-day’s
column, I shall write about the minority opinion which was
influenced by sociological jurisprudence in a subsequent
column.

THE PETITIONER, CHAVICH, 1s blind, He passed the
written, interview and performance tests for appointment
as @ vocal music teacher in the junior high schools of the
City of New York. Yet, he was not appointed because a rege
ulation of the Board of Examiners of the New York City
Board of Education requires at least 20/30 vision in one eye,
with or without glasses.

CHAVICH SOUGHT JUDICIAL review, contending that
the Board's regulation violates the Education Law, section
3004, This section prohibits the State Commissioner of Edu-
cation from prescribing, for the public schools of the state,
regulations disqualifying teachers solely because of biind-
ness, Special Term decided for the petitioner,

BY A THREE to two decision, the Second Department
reversed Special Term, stating apologetically in the hess
traditions of historical jurisprudence;

“Although my sympathies are with this petitioner
because of his unfortunate affliction, it is my opinion
that the refusal to certify petitioner as eligible for a
teaching license was within the power of the Board of
Examiners.”

THE COURT’S SCHOLARLY discovery of the law is based

upon consideration of relevant statutory and decisional pre-
cedents, Section 3004 empowers the Commissioner of Edu-
cation to prescribe regulations governing the certification
of teachers employed in all public schools of the State. How-
ever, the Commissioner's certification is not required for
qualification of a teacher in the New York City public schools,
Such teachers are certified by the New York City Superinten-
dent of Schools after examination by the Board of Examiners,
Accordingly, stated the learned Court, prohibiting the Com-
missioner from disqualifying a teacher solely by reason of
blindness places no restriction upon the Board of Examiners
of the City of New York,
THE MAJORITY OPINION also relied upon a provision
of the Education Law authorizing the New York City Board
of Education to prescribe higher qualifications for its teach-
ers than required in other parts of the State, The sight re-
quirement is an example,

AN INTERPRETATION APPLYING section 3004 to City
teachers was stated to conflict with the Administrative Code
of the City of New York. The Code provides for retirement
for physical disability, and a teacher who becomes blind may
be retired for such disability, The Court reasoned that the
Code provision is inconsistant with the hiring of a new
teacher who is blind,

AMONG THE PRECEDENTS relied upon, the Court cited
Matter of Bart, a case in which the Commissioner determined
that a sighted person who did not have the minimum vision
prescribed by the New York City Board of Education 1s not
entitled to a license. A fortiori, a totally biind person may
not be appointed.

IN SUSTAINING THE Board's regulation, the majority
opinion noted the problems facing a junior high school
teacher which may reasonably disqualify a blind person,
Such problems include maintenance of discipline, preventing
children from fighting or throwing erasers at each other,
