The Commission has defined
“duration of the war” to mean the
legal end of a state of war—
Presidential proclamation or Act
of Congress.
Implication of this ruling is re-|
vealed in light of the fact that the
legal end of World War I was two
and one-half years after the
Armistice. If this war isn’t legally
terminated until two and one-half
's after the fighting stops, war
appointees might hold
their jobs until some time in 1948,

How Long Is
‘Duration’?
What is meant by “duration of
the war"?
The U. 8. Civil Service Commis-
sion explained last week the mean-
ing of the phrase “duration of the
war" as applied to the tenure of
tment of war-service em-
such persons are hired
|
the duration of the war and
not to exceed six months there-
after.”
‘The Commission stated that
“duration of the war” refers to the
duration as legally fixed, and not
to the duration of hostilities,
pointing out that World War 1
was legally terminated by joint
resolution of the Congress on July
2, 1921—more than 2% years after
Armistice. Apart from the ne-
cessity for reduction in force
which might be caused by lack of
funds, curtailment of functions,
or similar reasons, agencies and
affected employees will be given
ample advance notice — probably
six months—i it becomes ne es-
sary to end war-serviop appoint-
ments prior to six months after
the legal termination of the war.
Stay on the Job!
‘The Commission urges Govern-
ment employees to stay on the job
until the war js won. It stated
that it does not plan to return to
the practice of holding open-
competitive examinations for ap-
pointments conferring classified
clvil-service status until some time
after hostilities end in all the ma-
Jor theaters.
Under the Commission's post-
war plans, there will be a transi-
tion period during which war

6 Law Employees
Denied Chance for
Promotion Test
Six employees of the NYC Law
Deapriment have requested the
NYC Civil Service Commission to
allow them to take the forth-
coming examination to Steno-
grapher, grade 4.
They base the claim on the fact
that they were appointed from a
Stenographer, grade 3 list to posi-
tions in the Law Department as
Stenographer (Law), grade 2.
They also said that their duties
include taking transcripts of spe-
cial hearings and speeches at a
high rate of speed, and should
entitle them to participate in the
grade 4 test,
On July 1, 1944, the six were
promoted to Stenographer or
Clerk, grade 3.
Requirements Insufficient
The Commission ruled that
they didn't have the requirement
of a year's service as grade 3 to
| qualify them for the grade 4 test;
also that they didn’t have suffi-
cient experience in supervisory
work, The facts that they did spe-
cial work and had been appointed
from a grade 3 list didn’t make
any difference, added the Com-
mission.

Sanitation Man is divided into
two groups, Sanitation Man C and

An immediate goal of $1, ety te]
and a minimum of ten times that
sum is sought for the ‘saooeestal
conduct of the DAV's work over
— and expand the DAVs unique
of service officers, who di-
y - disabled veterans in all
of the nation. They assist
in the proper presentation and
prosecution of just claims for var-
jous types of governmental bene-
fits. They ald the disabled vet in
the solution of problems incident
to re-adjustment into civilian life.
The DAV works closely with the
Veterans Administration.
Veterans Administration Training
Program
Because of the increasing num-
ber of wounded and disabled vet-
erans of World War II, there is|
"| now a need for more than 600)
full-time DAV National Service |
Officers,
The Veterans Administration, |
has to cooperate in train-
to become full-time officers for
the DAV, at an ayerage vost to
the Government of $3,000 for the
training course of each trainee.
Life-Long Jobs
‘Therefore, to develop the proper
kind of personnel for these jobs,
,|% mew type of training program
has been
instituted under the
joint sponsorship of the DAV and
U. S. Veterans Administra-
ll as part of the latter's vo-
cational rehabilitation and educa-
tional program. Through this
training, disabled veterans of this
war will be prepared for the life-
long job of helping their own
battle-wounded comrades,
Jobs as full-time paid National
Service Officers of the DAV will
be given those who complete the | setu)
prescribed course. This consists
of two ten-week semesters of in-
stitutional training, followed by
»|18 months of on-the-job training
under the supervision of DAV na-
tional service officers located in
agreed
ing 400 or more disabled veterans |
One of the greatest programs ever

disabled veterans has been announced by
the Executive Committee of the National

think most highly of the
work accomplished by this organization.
C. Magnus, Chairman of the Fund,
eae out that this will be the first nation-
for funds on the part of the DAV,
the 52 regional offices of the Vet-
erans Administration.
Allowances During Training
During the period of prepara-
tion, trainees receive an allow-
‘ance from the Veterans Adminis-
tration of $92 a month, plus
$11.50 for wife and $5.75 for each
minor child. Because this allow-
ance is not sufficient to take care
of actual living costs, the DAV
has agreed to supplement it by
$25 a month, This supplementary
salary from the DAV will be
gradually increased during the
on-the-job training period.
The Immediate Cost
Under this plan, the Govern-
ment is committed to an expen-
diture of more than a million dol-
lars, and at the same time the)
DAV has undertaken an even|
greater financial obligation.
During the training period
these candidates, the DAV is)
committed to an average expen- |
diture of more than $1,200 per
trainee. After the trainee quali-
|
vice Officer, the DAV is under
ance with his ability and respon-
| sibility, The average expense of
the DAV of maintaining each
such full-time National Service
Officer will be about $3,000 an-
nually.
The Ultimate Cost
The DAV can assume the obli-
gation of training and maintain-
ing national service officers only

A trust fund of ten million
dollars is a minimum requirement

its services, which are rendered
to all disabled veterans who ask
jioe them, These services redound
to the benefit of every commu-
nity in the land.
City Hall Opinion Says
Subway Workers Will Win
‘The NYC Board of Transportation employees will win their cur-
rent dispute with the Board. That's the prediction of people in City
Hall, “It's the same as last year,”
one of them said. “While the City
Council makes a big fuss and passes resolutions; other employee
organizations loudly claim ‘victories’; Mayor LaGuardia gets together
with Mike Quill (City Councilman and Transport Workers Union
president) and they settle the dispute.”
The Mayor announced that he,
had been conferring with Quill; |
that is taken around the Hall to
mean that a solution is either ar-
rived at, or on the way.
Among the requests of the tran-
sit workers are:
1. Increased wages for increased
productivity and to relieve in-
S| equalities.
2. Extension of the increment
system to include all employees;
the maximum to be reached in
two years.

Behind the Custodial
. .
Mess in New York City
HE custodial workers in New York City Schools are
| now well-damned. A small portion of them went out
on strike, and public officials went giddy with breast-
beating statements. To listen to Mayor LaGuardia, you would
think that a dastardly plot had been committed for the sole
purpose of harassing, frightening and endangering the City’s
school children. ‘
But, as so often happens in cases like this, the whole
picture isn’t the hideous one that’s stuck in your face, in the
hope that you will become sufficiently horrified to overlook
the facts.
‘The LEADER doesn’t like strikes in wartime, Let us get that off
our chests, before we're accused of something. We feel that the
custodial helpers organized in John L. Lewis’ District 50 (incidentally,
we were the first to warn about that organizing campaign) did a
strategically foolish thing in pulling a strike, and one which inevi-
tably had to work against them in time of war.
The Facts of the Case
P Tammi stated our view on that angle, let us get on with the
ac
The“custodial helpers in New York City's-school system are not,
in any real sense of the word, City employees, They are employed
not by the City, but by custodial engineers, Each custodial engineer
receives, for the maintenance of his school, a lump sum. Out of this
sum, he hires his subordinates, purchases whatever supplies he needs,
and if there should perchance happen to be a neat little nest-egg
of cash left over at the year’s end, he pockets it.
Naturally, it happens that the custodian tries to keep his
expenses down, so his nest-egg can be larger. In any tase, the lot
of the custodial worker, under the custodian, has been a pretty awful
thing. Everybody knows this. Mayor LaGuardia knows it. The
Board of Education officials know it.
Custodian vs, Custodial Helper
The custodian is under civil service. He is within the Board
of Education's pension system, He gets regular vacations. He is
entitled to all the various benefits of civil service status.
‘The custodial worker, whom the custodian hires, gets no pen-
sion. He is entitled to no vacations other than those he can arrange
with his personal boss, the custodian. His scale of pay depends again
on the good will of the custodian.
For years, now, it has been pointed out that the answer to this
whole problem is simple: Place the custodial workers under civil
service, That’s what they want. That would stop all the trouble
between them and the City, There has been report after report on
the situation, recommending civil service. But the Board of Education
just never “got around to it." It was usually impossible to get a
straight answer from the Board explaining the refusal to undertake
Placement of the men under civil service.
‘The custodial workers joined various unions; but there is a
story here that isn’t very pretty. Sometime, maybe, The LEADER
will go into it.
A decision in a court case before Justice Froessel recently said
that the custodial workers should be granted civil service status, On
September 13, the Board of Education passed a resolution saying that
civil service would be tried out in one or two schools, to see how it
would work (as though civil service were a new kind of experiment).
But after the resolution, the Board did nothing more about it anyway. |
So even though you sit back and condemn their strike, you can
see how they've been goaded and goaded—how they found no alterna-
tive, no sympathy anywhere for what are obviously just grievances.
Civil Service Impossible?
Now the high City muckamucks say: “It’s iimpossible to put
them under civil service.” A statement by the Corporation Counsel
Says they can’t be covered in except by legislation; and if not by
legislation, the custodial helpers would all have to take examinations
which some of them—it is ominously implied—might fail.
But the City knew all this years ago. If legislation is needed
to bring the custodial helpers under civil service, why has the City
frowned on such legislation? If examinations will do the trick, then
why shouldn't the Civil Service Commission prepare simple qualify-
ing exams, to indicate that the custodial worker can read and write,
and has enough strength to drag himself around in the performance
of his tasks? It’s happened before.
‘The point is, it could be done.
And the point is, the City doesn’t want it done. The City prefers
the old system,
We've used a lot of words here not because of the custodial
workers are a special group deserving special attention, But because
we believe in civil service, We believe it belongs in public administra-
tion. And that it's a lot sounder than any kind of patronage or private
hiring system in the public service,

JOHN FRANCIS XAVIER Mc-
GOHEY looks the role. He is the
United States Attorney as you
would imagine the United States
Attorney ought to look: straight, |
lean, grey-haired, dignified.
He takes over the job—one of
the most varied and dramatic in
the whole nation—of guarding the
Government's legal interests in
the Southern District of New
York, The district covers the
counties of New York, Bronx,
Columbia, Dutchess, Greene
Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sul-
livan, Ulster and Westchester.
Until recently violation of
Selective Service Law required
lots of attention from the U. S.
Attorney's Office. Now, OPA vio-
lations are high up on the list,
Narcotics cases, curiously, have
seen a recent upward spurt.
Under James B. M. McNally,
McGohey’s predecessor, OPA vio~
lations brought to the U.S. At-
torney’s office were followed with
the most vigorous action, “We in-
tend to continue this policy,” says
the present Attorney. “We are
pressing all OPA cases strongly.
They mustn't hang fire.”
McGohey thinks that the
United States has the world’s best
legal procedure. “The civil rights
of every defendant are scrupu-
lously guarded, and this is vital
in a democracy,” he says.
Long Experience
McGohey has had long exper-
jence in Government service. He
started as Assistant Counsel to the
NYC Board of Transportation in
1924, This was during the pe-
riod when the Independent Sub-
way was being constructed.
He stayed until 1933, when he
entered the service of New York
State as
General. In this post,
ducted far-reaching investiga-
tions, He led the first New York
probe of the Curb Exchange. For
the first time, he made public
the which went on in the
downtown trading center, He
found that stocks were sometimes
listed with insufficient investiga-
tion of the corporation's back-
ground, It even happened that
stocks were listed without the
consent of the corporation. Mc-
Gohey's work resulted in a com-
Plete revision of the Curb Ex-
change, long before the Federal
Government's Securities and Ex-
change Commission came into
being,
Looked Into Monopolies
In 1934, he organized and for
four years directed the Bureau
for the Investigation of Monop-
olies, He probed the. loan sharks
“Wherever you have the poor,
there you have the loan sharks,"
He probed the marketing of milk
in New York State. And he tried
cases in the State and Federal
courts, He remained with the
State Attorney General's Office
until August 1, 1943. In Novem-
ber, he took a position as Chief
Assistant United States Attorney.
Acting upon MeNally's resign:

ALBANY — New jobs and new job opportunities are being

More than a score of new positions and the reclassification of

Eaton. George William Curtis. and many others who had to grapple
Hirst hand with political and other preferences, and which was
written by the great Elihu Root in the Constitutional Convention of
1894. viz: “Appointments and promotions in the civil service of the
State, and of all the subdivisions thereof .. . shall be made according
to merit and fitness to be ascertained, so far as practicable, by exami-
Pations, which so far as practicable. shall be competitive... .”
Exempt Positions
THEY LOOK ASKANCE at the many exempt positions created
during recent years. They are displeased with the seeming readiness
of Civil Service Commissions to fall back upon temporary and war
duration appointments in promotion fields, and in the matter of
vacancies which are not occasioned by armed service absences. There
is no good tn discouraging the efficient men and women who are
‘Yendering yeoman service in the face of thousands of vacancies. The
war will go on for some years, in the opinion of the Army and Naval
experts. The ugly suggestion that war manpower conditions justify
‘ny excuse for appointments not screened by promotion or open-
Competitive tests must be crushed in its inception. All Civil Service
Commissions can overcome this by loyalty to competitive procedures
Freedom rests upon efficient, honest civil government, and efficient,
honest clvil government rests upon the caliber of the men chosen
from the citizenry solely on the basis of merit and fitness. Military
Sacrifice is in vain if civil government be a thing of spoils or special
privilege.
Threat to Merit System
OTHERS find it difficult to understand the seeming indifference
and silence of the State Civil Service Commission as to the obvious
‘threat of destruction of the merit system present in unlimited vet-
erans preference which is written into the notorious Hampton-
Devany constitutional proposal, passed by one legislature and coming
up before the new 1945 legislature. They feel that the Commission
jas a duty that goes beyond any political or other allegiance to
”ak out when such a drastic repudiation of the merit system threat-
A score of civic groups have taken a direct stand for fal
terans’ preference as opposed to destructive veterans’ preferens
making the Commission’s task of telling the truth about
Hampton-Devaney bill a must for an alert Commission.
“ Equal Pay for Equal Work
THEN THERE ARE SPOTS in the service where the State's
declared policy of equal pay for equal work is stymied by either the
Salary Board, the Classification Board, the Budget Division, or all
three. Such are the cases involving the withholding of prison guard
status from the employees at Dannemora and Matteawan; failure
to wive the canal workers reasons for denial of their appeal, which
Appeal was supported by the employees’ superior officers; the rejec-
tion of hundreds of appeals for satisfactory salary allocations by
employees in many of the mental hygiene services; and delay in
acting upon the appeal of the women guards in women’s prisons for
equality under the Todd Law as well as the Feld-Hamilton Law.
Budget Director's Veto Power
PERHAPS the most di
the
hei
tening long-range worry is the admin-
{stration’s apparent polic which the power of veto in connec-
tion with decisions of the Salary Board and the Classification Board
in the name of the Governor seems to have been magnified by the
Director of the Budget. Employees who bad much to do with the
writing of the Feld-Hamilton Law claim that when this veto power
was written into that bill it was with respect to overall budgeting
wand to assure against indiscriminate salary action and was in no
Sense intended to impose the Governor the scrutiny of every
i
upon
decision of the Inder
lary and Classification Boards acting
“with department heads. as seen to be the case with each position
bureau, institution and department at the present time. The life of
the Salary Board expires in December, 1945, unless the Legislature
«acts pon employee recommendations for tts continuance with inde-
Pendent powers strengthened and provision for needed facilities added
Living Bonus
Cost-o
ALSO, a burning question with employees is the matter of an
Adequate cost-of-living emergency bonus. The hastily arrived-at
administration decision of 1942 under which employees were given
“ea 10 or 7'5 per cent salary adjustment up to $3,975 maximum salary
was conlinued—despite strong appeals directed last year to the Gov-
ernor for greater relief—through the fiscal year beginning April 1
#1944. It was in no sense sufficient to mect more than a 25 per cent
increase in cost of necessities, and ignored entirely the fact that
present basic State pay scales were fixed upon 1937 levels when State
workers were free of any Federal income tax, The addition by law
of this tax, beginning in 1939, without change in basic pay, plus the
Jater war-living costs, has plunged countless State workers into the
‘Most distressing situation faced by white collar workers anywhere.
Retirement System
THERE IS the question of bringing the State Retirement System
jup to advanced social security standards.
‘These are major sonnel matters which the Governor, as one
largely responsible for over 49.000 workers, must face and deal with
There are other minor but irksome matters of personnel adminis-
stration which it seems will not be met without strong hints from
the Governor: uniform leave rules, enforcement of the maximum
eight-how day; unemployment insurance; overtime payments, ete

“to provide promotion opportunt-
ties for large numbers of people
who have been carrying out their
duties without award or hope of
reward under the old set-up.”
Judge Conway said:
“If our plans for re-classifica-
tion of many positions in the de-
partment materialize, it should be
pointed out that this is a re-
classification of positions and not
of persons.
All May Aspire
“Any position which is re-classi-
fied becomes a new position to
which all may aspire. There are
now too many positions on a low
level and a dead level, We believe
that thrugh re-classification we
can make available promotion op-
portunities for employees who
have the skills and the ability to
take advantage of those oppor-
tunities.
"I want to say, however, there
is no intention of haying anyone |
lose his or her job. Career op-
portunities have been lacking and
we want to make some at least
available.”
Bureau Heads
Judge Conway said the Com-
mission's intention to provide a
and division in the department and
to provide also for a trained as-
sistant so that In any eventuality
the unit always would have some-
one in charge who could be re-
sponsible for production. The pre-
sent line of organization doesn’t | establishment of a new unit to
permit this kind of set-up and
that, he revealed, is one reason
for re-classification and contem-
plated new positions.
Certification Division
The Commission, for Instance,
considers the important payroll
and certification division some-
what neglected. This unit is in
effect the “watch-dog” of proper
administration of civil service in
certification of payrolls and sees
Civil Service Reorganizotion Will Open
More Than Score of New Positions
to it that state and local agencies
comply with civil service pro-
cedure. One function of the divi-
sion is to see that the retention
of “temporary” employees ts not
abused and to aid the Commission
porary employees when and as
promptly as possible such positions
can be filled from eligible lasts.
While the operations of this
division have been strengthened,
Judge Conway pointed out, there
in ridding the civil service of tem- |
still remains the task of bringing
duties, positions, and pay harmony
in many places. The Commission
feels, he said, that for too many
years in the past the division has
been largely a training ground for
employees who quickly sought
transfer to other departments
when they became convinced there
were no job promotion opportuni+
tes in the division.
Examinations Division
In_ the examinations division,
the Commission is considering the
augment present bureaus handing
engineerings examinations, law
enforcement exams, and local
government exams. The examina-
tions division would be increased
by an “examinations pool” to con=
sist of two new personnel tech-
nicians and one new junior per-
sonnel technician, This unit would
pick up the over-load of any of the
other three units and its personnel
would become in effect “circu-
lating examiners.”
The examinations division al-
ready has been re-shuffled with
Miss Eugenie McLaughlin, formers
ly director of the entire division,
now in charge of technical exam-
inations, her title being changed
from chief of the division of ex-
aminations to principal personnel
technician, Miss Elizabeth Taaffe
has qualified and been promoted
to senior personnel administrator
in charge of all of the administra-
tion functions of the division.
Wm. McDonough Defends
State Feld-Hamilton Law
William F. McDonough, speak-
ing last week before the New York
City chapter of the Association of
State Civil Service Employees,
strongly defended the Feld-Hamil-
ton Law. Mr. McDonough, Execu- |
tive Representative of the Associa-
tion, deplored attacks upon the
law which he felt, did not take all
the facts into consideration, Said
he:
“It is somewhat amazing to read

This law is of tremendous signifi-| ber of other services affecting in
cance to State employees. It is
the outgrowth of years of study
plus a $100,000 survey by the State
Legislature. It was adopted in
1937 and applied to the Depart-
mental service in 1938, Mr. Os-
born was then in the departmen-
tal service as he is today, and ap-
proved of the law and profited by
it with oth departmental em-
ployees,
“After strenuous efforts, In
which Mr. Osborn joined, the

to the institutions under the juris

Osborn Favors
Burton Plan on
Feld-Hamilton
ALBANY. — Giving reasons for
his vote in favor of the Burton re-
vision of the Peld-Hamilton Act—
which was opposed by other mem~-
bers of the Executive Committee
of the State Association of Civil
Service Employees, Frank O. Os-
born, Mental Hygiene representa-
tive, Usted the following criticisms
of Feld-Hamilton.
1. Mandatory allocation to serv-
fees, —Frequently, he claims, lt is
impossible lo properly allocate po-
sitions because the services to
which they must be allocated do
not have the proper salary grades,
2. The wide spread between
minimums within the service,
3. A fixed number of increments,
This has resulted in difficulties
because of the inflexibility of the
to recruit
starting
requirement, In order
employees at @ higher
salary it has been ni
inerease the maximum s
also means raising all titles above
the entrance Utle
all over 12,000 workers, are favor-
ably affected under new salary al-
locations, A large number of ap-
peals, affecting about 4,000 work
ers have been determined adversely
to the employees without reasons
being given in the group cases.
The State Association intends to
appeal directly to the Governor
for intercession on behalf of the
groups concerned
Dominated the Budget,
“As the Association has pointed
out repeatedly, the Salary Board
has appeared to be under the dom-
ination of the State Budget Direc-
tor. And this was confirmed as
the Association pressed for dect-
sions by the bringing forth by
the Director of the Budget, John
E. Burton, of the plan to which
Mr. born refers, The Budget
Director's reason for the plan was
that he lacked flexibility to per-
mit him to approve allocations of
Mental Hygiene positions,
“The Association began imme-
diately a study of the proposals
which became known as the Bur-
}ton Plan. A special committee of
the Association examined the plan
as given lo the Association, They
felt after careful consideration
and after hearing from many em-
ployes that such radical revision
of the Feld-Hamilton Law would
virtually destroy its efficiency and
its value to State workers through-
out all of the services, They
pointed out that definite services,
grades and increments, together
with the Salary Board and the
Classification Board were all inter-
related ond that to do away with
the services and create a number
of codes which were nothing more
than salary grades such as existed
lin the old days, when there were
no definite lines of promotion and
wholly Inadequate salaries in most
instances would be to destroy the
heart and soul of the career law
‘They pointed out further that the
Feld-Hamilton Law could be
amended us to adding additional
services, or grades, or providing
for differentials to meet unusual
situations,
“They knew from long experi-
ence that it was better to have
any changes made by the Legisla-
ture to meet conditions as they
arose than to lift the entire pro-
tection of present in-service grade
protection out of the law and
leave the interpretation to the
judgment of changing budget
directors however capable they
might be.
All But 3 Approved
“The sub-commitiee's report
was submitted to the twenty-five
members making up the Execu-
tive Committee, one representa-
\adopted unanimously. The
tive from each department and
the five officers of the Association.
This entire Committee with the
exception of Mr. Osborn and two
others approved the sub-commit-
tee’s report.
“The report was then submitted
to the delegates from all chapters
and services at the annual meet-
ing on October 17th last, and
ciation, therefore, is definitely on
record as opposed to the Burton
proposals. Mr. Osborn knows this
and it is strange indeed that he
should doubt the position taken
by the chapters and the delegates.
That he personally may not agree
with the Association in defending
the Feld-Hamilton Law is not at
all to his discredit, That he should
accept the will of the employees
seems only proper so far ax the
rol program is concerned.
Reasons Set Forth
“The reasons for rejecting the
Burton proposal were set forth in
newspapers throuehout the State.
Doubtless you will recall also the
definite and masterly statement of
Senator Halpern of Queens In urg-
ing that the Burton plan be aban-
doned or at least deferred
A Case
“Let us just look for a minute
at what has occurred when the
budget director asked the legisla-
ture to put the hospital in
the sub-professional grade thus
making It impossible to 4 them
the $1800 to $2300 range which
they sought. In 1942 the budget
director seoured from the legisia-
ture a new grade of $1200 to $1600
which he intended to use for at-
tendants and which he abandoned
only after the splendid efforts
made by you institutional workers
through the Association, In 1943.
during the last days of the Inst
legislature, the budget director
caused to be introduced and
passed some new grades in the
Prison Service which resulted in
the guards at Dannemora and
Matteawan being given a salary
range of $1500 to $2000 in:
$2000 to $2600 gained by the
ciation in the original Feld-Hamil-
ton Prison Safety Service, This
will indicate to you the way flexi~
bility would be used by budget
directors with compelie abancon~
ment of the present Service-Grade
setup.”
Mr. McDonough also reviewed
the entire program of the Asso-
ciation as to increased emergency
bonus, liberalization of the retire
ment laws, and salary rehearings
for mental hygiene groups.

Accident and Sickne
By C. A. CARLISLE, JR,
Since the Inception of the Group Plan of Accident and Sickness
Insurance for State employees through the Association of State Civil
Service Employees, the response from employees has been over-
whelming. jousands of testimonial letters have come into the office
regularly from employees who have realized the help afforded in
time of need—need resulting from the financial shortages after
| Reefdent or illness,
Many thousands of State em-,
upstate New would end the merit system if it |
ing some time in Hollywood, as-
tend the annual meeting of the
| Ployees have received benefits as
a resultof their membership in the
| Group Plan of Accident and Sick-
|mess Insurance, and many thou-
| Sands of them are happy over the
benefits they have received. Below
are only a few excerpts from the
many letters in the files of Ter
| Bush and Powell, Inc,, 423 State
| Street, Schenectady, which is the
\insurance agency handling the
| policies which are offered for the
Protection of State employees.
| Agriculture and Markets
An Infection of the toe doesn't
seem serious, but it was enough
to lay up a young clerk in the
Department of Agriculture and
Markets. The check for $55.66
| which he received, helped tide him
over the emergency, and it even
aided his recovery, A letter reads:
“This disability was shortened by
| several days by use of taxis from
my home to the doctor's office
foot, and being able to afford cab
fare speeded recovery."
A veteran employee of Agricul-
ture and Markets was struck with
@ serious heart ailment, coronary
thrombosis, The $900 she received
aS @ result of her insurance did
much to ease her recovery, She
wrote, “I have been insured under
the Civil Service Employees’ plan
ever since it was inaugurated. I
wish to express my appreciation
for your promptness and, fairness
in the settlement of his claim.”
Depariment of Audit and Control
An accountant in the Depart-
ment of Audit and Control had a
Serious breakdown followed by an
eye defect. A payment of $336.66
helped to get him back to his
desk, cured. His grateful letter
reads: “Your organization is in-
deed worthy of the patronage of
all Civil Service Employees,”
That high blood pressure can
lead to a long series of medical
|tune to become involved in an
jautomobile accident. Fractured
ribs, cuts, the loss of a front tooth
| were suffered, but he received $90
|to patch himself up. “I can say
| that my claim was settled prompt-
ly,” he wrote. “I will be glad to
hand your application to some of
y associates,”
| Civil Service Department
| A young clerk in the Civil Ser-
| vice Department had a slight cold
| that developed into strep grippe
and resulted in her confinement
| to bed, The $43.66 she received
from the insurance company
enabled her to meet her bills, “I
appreciate the way my claim was
handled, and the prompt service
| you have given,” she wrote.
Conservation
The treatment of anemia calls
for special diets. A Conservation
| Department stenographer is grate-
| ful that she had a policy to pay
| her $176.66 during her treatment,
received, and I wish to thank you
very much. I am not back at
work yet, but they tell me I will
| be able to go back to work again
| in_a few weeks.”
| Lobar pneumonia struck sud-
denly at a guard in the Conser-
vation Department. He received
$110 which enabled him to keep
his family supplied with their
| needs while he was laid up. “Need-
| less to say I was happy to receive
the check you sent me,” he wrote,
Correction Department
A timekeeper in the Correction
| Department was stricken with
| gastric indigestion, It developed
|into quite a siege and before he
was cured, he was awarded bene-
| fits amounting to $178.32. “I wish
to express my thanks,” he said.
|"I hope I'll never need benefits
gain, but I'll know that I have
| protection against loss of pay.”

New York City’s Municipal Cannery
A Unique Experiment in Cooperative Administration
By ALBERT PLEYDELL
Commissioner of Purchase
and PETER F.
“ NEW YORK CITY is just com-
Pleting the second year of onera-
¢ion of its municipal cannery
focated at Camp La Guardia,
(Chester, New York, Last year the
@amp was under the jurisdiction
Of the Department of Welfare.
‘This year the Mayor and the
Board of Estimate placed the re-
Sponsibility for running the can-
mery jointly upon the Depart-
ments of Purchase and Correc-
tion.
_. Between May and November,
1944, 334,000 one-gallon cans of
fruits and vegetables were packed.
‘This figure includes 65,741 cans

over the work in the cannery,
while the Department of Correc-
tion furnishes the manpower for
the actual production.
In addition to the cannery, the
two departments intensively cul-
tivated the 200 acres of farm
land and also managed a piggery,
which has a population of 400
hogs.
The Employees
There are 22 regular civil ser-
vice employees and 73 non-com-
petitive helpers on the staff of
the Department of Purchase,
‘The Department of Correction
has 14 keepers on the job and ap-
proximately inmates.
Joseph V. Joyce, Chief Warden,
represents the Correction Depart-
ment; Edwin F. Cunningham,
Superintendent, looks after the
interests of the Department of
Purchase,
When the canning season
started, the two departments
agreed upon a program which

able to a commercial enterprise.
Modern equipment was installed,
a complete and accurate cost-
accounting system established,
and daily wages were provided for
the inmates,
Inmates and employees work La
side by side in the cannery and
on the farm. They also share the
common mess, The many and
-varied maintenance jobs that
must be carried on around the
premises are also done by both
the inmates and the employees,
Obtaining the Food
Most of the food packed at the
cannery was obtained by the De-
partment of Purchese either in
the produce markets of the city or
from neighboring farmers. How-
ever, considerable quantities of
food, particularly carrots and ap-
ples, were ished by the War
Pood Administration. All the food
is inspected by the Comptroller's
office when it is delivered to the
camp. The inspection is even ex-
tended to the camp's own farm
products, The process of canning
is under the continuous inspec-
tion of a representative of the
Comptroller, This inspector reg-
ularly selects samples the
canned products and sends them
to the Department of Health
laboratory to make certain that
the food packed complies with all
the sanitary requirements of the
Health Department and the U. 8.
Department of Agriculture.
In {ts various institutions and
through the free lunch
program, the city serves approxi-
mately 100,000 meals a day. The
wartime shortage of canned foods
made it absolutely necessary that
the city operate its own cannery
in order to have an assured source
of supply. Many of the items
have proved to be unobtainable in
the open market.
Administration
An operation as large and in-
tricate as that conducted at Camp
uardia naturally involves
many problems of administration,
Some of these problems are in-
herent in a situation where in-
mates are co-mingled with city
employees; others arise from the
pressure caused by the city's ex-
treme need for canned foods.
Yet, despite the
many problems
that exist, throughout the entire

New Developments in Fire Fighting
By GEORGE
W. BOOTH,
Chief Engineer, National Board of Fire Underwriters
THE PRACTICES of fire
fighting are as old as civiliza-
tion, When man started using
fire he soon found that his
campfire would be extinguished
“by 4 downpour of rain, and
from this he learned to use
4 Water to put out fires,
The history of fire fighting
has been largely taken up with
“methods of applying water in
Such a way that it would reach
the burning embers.
* __ As fire is a product of a burn-
@bie material, the oxygen of the
, @ir and some form of heat, then
Conversely the reduction of any
of these three—material. air or
hheat—will lessen the extent of
the fire,
The development of the auto-
Mobile fire engine, or pumper,
, the improvement in hose, the
“better design of nozzles and the
@pplication of automatic sprink-
lers, are improvements which
ave come along through the
years and have served to in-
Crease effectiveness in the cool-
ing value of water.
Spray or Fog
Of more recent use, but still
mot new, has been the applica-
tion of water in the form of
@pray or fog. The development
Of this has been brought about
largely in connection with fires
* dnvolving Mammable Nquids, es-
eclally “spills” of such liquids,
uch work has been done in
the past few years on the de-
Sign of nozzles to produce spray
or fog, and many claims have
been made as to the superiority
of some particular feature,
either in the design of the
fozzle, size of the droplet or
pressure used,
The value of these spray and
, fos nowzles on fires other than
those involving flammable liquid
the cooling effect produced by
fine spray is being studied ex-
tensively by the 8. Coast
Guard and the U. 8, Navy in
connection with fires on ships,
where access below decks can be
obtained only after the heat has
been reduced. Modern thought
is that fire fighting by municipal
departments, in the interior of
buildings, and especially in base-
has its limitations, the most
serious of which is the lack of
knowledge as to when and how
to be used.
Application of Gas
Following along with the con-
verse of producing fire, it is
self-evident that fires can be
extinguished by reducing the
percentage of oxygen in the air.
This has resulted in the appli-
cation of gases which would mix
with air and thus dilute its
oxygen content.
Carbon dioxide and the vapor
Wondering about the new “fog nozzles"
you've been reading of? About the use
of new chemicals in fire fighting? An out-
standing engineer and fire expert tells
you some of the facts,
ments and cellars, can be much
improved through the use of
these appliances which produce
fine sprays,
No New Principle
Tt must be recognized still that
where fires are of considerable
magnitude the water must pen-
etrate through the “flames and
impinge upon the burning mi
terial, It may be said ther
fore that there has been no new
principle developed in the use
of water. Some greater knowl-
edge has been obtained as to
how and when water can be
used as & spray and when as a
Solid stream, Its use as a spray
for small fires is of long stand-
ing, as shown by the value of
automatic sprinklers, That spray
and fog can be advan-
tageously by fire departments
on certain types of fires cannot
be denied, wi actual experi~
ence is considered; however, it
from carbon tetrachloride have
been the principal gases used for
this purpose, The more recent
development in these, especially
of carbon dioxide, has been the
increase in the amount of the
gas provided, such that exten-
sive eas could-be flooded.
been
Here, too, there have
changes brought about by the
demands of the armed forces of
the country.
Automatic Devices
Probably the outstanding de-
velopment in the fire exting-
uishment has been the great in-
crease in the use of automatic
devices to protect the hospitals,
warehouses and plants of the
armed forces in America and
thelr extensive use in industry.
The recognition of automatic
sprinklers and automatic fire de-
tecting systems has been in-
creased during these war years,
‘and it is believed the value of
such equipment will be appre-
ciated in after years by those
responsible for the safety of the
high value stocks so necessary
for the welfare of the country,
Owners of plants and stores will
realize the need of such equip-
ment, and those who are respon-
sible for the enforcement of
fire prevention ordinances will
Ba ample precedent as to their
value.
Electronics Finds Leaks
In Water Supply Systems
Electronics has heen put to
work by many communities to
effect savings in locating leaks
in their water supply systems.
The traditional willow wand
divining row which, according to
folklore, would locate water
underground, has been replaced
by a highly sensitive apparatus
which can detect a leak under
an eight-inch concrete pave-
ment,
In essence, the device is a
sensitive crystal-type amplifier
which picks up sound waves
from the leaks, translates them
into electrical current and mag-
nifies them in the headphones
so that s total gain of more than
100 times the original sound 1s
achieved. Besides the earphones,
the device has a visual dial in-
dicator of extreme sensitivity
which records sound variations
too delicate to be distinguished
in the earphones. Increase or
decrease of the sound intensity
tells the searchers whether they
are approaching or moving away
from the leak.
In Philadelphia
The Philadelphia Suburban
Water Company uses two such
devices to maintain a constant
leak-hunt along its 11,000 miles
of mains and 80,000 service lead~
in pipes for the small leaks that
might develop into big breaks
and service interruptions.
With most present water in-
stallations under paved roadway,
it is seldom that a small leak
will show surface indications.
Water takes the easiest path ani
usually follows underground
crevices to some relatively dis-
tant outlet in a stream or gutter,
Water Erosion
Constant water erosion, how-
ever, tends to undermine large
sections of ground or roadway
and by the time the leak is dis-
covered there's a big replace-
ment and repair job—unless the
leak is discovered in time,
The leak-finder used by Phila~
delphia is the M-Scope Water
Leak Detector, developed by the
Fisher Research Laboratories,
Palo Alto, Cal. The accuracy of
the device is such that it will
locate a leak within a radius of
two or three feet, Usually, say
the manufacturers, it will hit the
leak “right on the nose,” with
resultant economies, particularly
when the leak occurs under
thick pavings. Leaks the size of
@ needle point will register on
the visual dial,

by this company includes pipe
and cable locators, electrical re-
sistivity apparatus and radio tele-
phones. Complete information

By FRANCES PERKINS
United States Secretary of Labor
LOOKING at our tremendous
wartime increase in productivity
it is plain that American indus-
try and agriculture have written
the beginning pages of a new
era in this nation’s history,
There js the clear promise of
higher living standards, added
security, and increased well-
being for all of our people—pro-
vided that we can gear our vast
resources in men, materials, and
machines to the peacetime pro-
duction of needed goods and
services.
I believe we can make the as
yet unwritten pages an “adven-
ture in prosperity” and at the
same time strengthen our dem-
ocratic system of free enterprise
with fair rewards for individual
effort and initiative,
The welfare of those millions
of wage earners and salaried
workers who largely make up
our labor force is a fundamental
consideration in any sound post-
war program. The recommenda~-
tions which follow are designed
to facilitate the swift and order-
ly return of our working force
to useful peacetime employment.
The program is not a complete
blueprint, but it does present
those actions which I believe
should be taken as soon as
peace comes. Semne of them, 4
deed, can be initiated when Ger-
many is defeated. Moreover, these
recomendations are essential to
any broader program which
seeks to balance our economic
equation at high prosperity
levels.
This Needn't Wait
One step need not wait for
V-E Day. Rather, it will be more
effective if it is carried out now,
1 refer to the expansion of our
social security system to embrace
all workers, including farm and
domestic help. It should be made
available to self-employed per-
sons who wish to buy into the
system, that is, business and
professional people, farm opera~
tors and others who “work for
themselves.”
We now have unemployment
insurance, old age insurance, old
age public assistance and public
assistance for dependent children
and the needy blind, This firm
foundation has reduced economic
hazards for millions of workers,
From July 1936 when the pro-
gram began, to the end of 1943,
state-administered unemploy-
ment benefits totaled $2,112,095,~
000. Other benefits under the
Social Security Act included
three billion dollars to needy
aged persons, $101,400,000 for the
needy blind and $865,300,000
spent in behalf of dependent
children.
There is no way to measure
the human dividends that have
flowed from this pooled protec-
tion. But we do know that a few
years back, old age, unemploy-
Ment or a long illness often
spelled real want and bitter pri-
vation, Today that dark shadow
has been lifted from the lives
of millions,
The Nation Has Gone Far
Seen against the backdrop of
American history this nation has
gone far in providing for the
security of its wage earners, But
we cannot afford to be com-
placent—there {s more to be
done. Especially in view of the
transition that lies ahead, An
extension of the social insurance
system should provide
term benefits for
rily unemployed and their de-
pendents, Larger annuities
should go to the aged workers
who normally would have re-
tred in 1940 but who are stick-
ing to the job until the war is
over, Under the expanded se-
curity program permanently dis-
abled persons. cripples, the
chronically sick, and persons
suffering non-industrial injuries
would for the first time share in
the program.
Workers temporarily disabled
by illness would be eligible for
weekly benefits comparable to
unemployment benefits, and
when sickness involyes hospital-
ization, payments would ease the
heavy burden of cost, Widows,
orphans and other survivors of
workers who die could get ben-
efits which would partly replace
thelr loss of support, With this
broader program in eifect we
ean look forward to a post-war
period of steady economic and
social gains, Moreover, we may
peed pe backlog of confidence
such added security can bring
during that immediate
i>
tion period which {fs neither
peace nor all-out war,
Steps for Peace
Whether we broaden our s0-
cial security system now or put
that on the agenda for later ac-
tion, I believe the following steps
should be taken promptly when
peace comes,
Revoke all permite which have

In April 1944, young workers
numbered close to 3,000,000,
About two million of these were
16 or 17 years old, the remainder
being only 14 or 15. These figures
do not include thousands of
younger children known to be at
work though official records
make no count of them,
Two very serious consequences
have resulted from this influx
of youngsters into wartime jobs.
The first is a sharp decline in
high school enrollment from its
all-time peak of 7,244,000 in
1940-41, In three years the
shrinkage amounted to 1,000,000,
The second result is less far-
reaching but more dangerous.
As work permits increased, both
industrial accidents to minors
and their illegal employment rose
sharply. It would be tragic in-
deed to. let this trend continue
in the months ahead.
Women's Working Hours
Revoke all permits allowing women to
work beyond 8 hours a day or on the
praveyard mbifis:
Here, too, the pressures of all-
out war have weakened hard-
won peacetime standards pro-
tecting women workers, and the
number involved is much greater
than many of us suppose, Among
the 164 million women who
were employed in March 1944,
close to five millions were en-

The Communities
The magnitude of this task is
not greatly lessened by the fact
that many communities have
been relatively stable during th:
war and others have made pre-
parations to deal with the prob-
Jem locally, There are eleven
states in which the estimated
military and industrial demobil-
ization is 35 percent or more of
total 1940 employment. In those
localities where large war plants
that are not adopted to recon-
yersion drew workers from out-
side the community, the problem
may be acute. And there also are
larger regions now devoted main-
ly to aircraft production or ship-
building, where severe dislocation
is almost inevitable. It would be
both unwise and unfair to expect
that local action can solye these
complex prblems,

Community Research-
By the Community Itself
By DAVID KING ROTHSTEIN
Instructor in Government, Columbia Me dail
Economist, National
I'VE BEEN ASKED:
@ community set up its own
research organization?” This
question came in response to my
article which appeared in The
LEADER for November 14, I
described the many sources of
information available to a com-
munity—"for free,”
Let me say et the outset that
the problem is not a difficult
one to solve. The community
need only draw upon the facil-
ities which it already possesses.
There is no doubt that an ex-
ecutive of a municipality, sup-
plied with ample funds, could
easily equip his agency with a
staff of experts, thoroughly
versed in the problems of mu-
nicipal administration,
Universities, colleges and pri-
vate industry abundantly pro-
vide such recruits who are more
than eager to render service to
& growing municipality and
make municipal research a life-
long career, Such bureaus are
already functioning in a num-
ber of our great cities, among
them Detroit and New York.
Where There Are No Funds
In my previous article, I em-
phasized the need for assisting
those executives who unfortun-
ately have little or no funds
available for such an agency,
Since actual research, as con-
trasted with mere fact-finding,
is seldom carried on by a
small municipality, the true
function of a municipal research
agency should be to try to solve
only the most urgent problems,
Long range research projects
should be avoided.
But only through a research
unit can a municipal executive
coordinate all the investigative
work done by his own municipal

employees and feel confident
that these reports will be dis-
tributed to the officers of other
branches of his administration
who may have further use of
them.
In this writer's opinion, if no
opportunity presents itself to
create an autonomous research
unit, it is essential that an ex-
ecutive have his budget director
ume such function. In small
communities, the finance director
or the- executive himself often
undertakes this responsibility.
In any case, it is best that the
budget director get some train-
ing in municipal research and
have his office conduct a run-
ning inquiry into the activities,
organization and procedures of
the municipality. There are a
few cities who already maintain
such distinct bureaus of effi-
ciency and carry on specific
studies undertaken by them.
Public Works
Research should also be under-
taken in the field of public
works by the engineering divi-
sion of the Department of Pub-
lic Works and by technicians
employed in other services,
Cost accounting, which today
is a basic tool in industrial man-
agement, should be installed by
municipalities, especially in those
departments where the theory
of unit cost has not been ap-
plied as a means of measuring
performance and efficiency.
Educational resources of the
community as stressed in the
previous article should be tapped
for help on technical subjects.

comed the opportunity to make

The Citizens Themselves
Many citizens in a community,
if properly approached and ap-
pealed to, would be happy to
belong to a Citizens Planning
Council, organized as an asso-
clation with unrestricted mem-
bership, fully representative of
all interests in a municipality,
This council would function as
&@ spearhead for action in the
solution of urgent problems, A
smaller group could composed
of a semi-official body of repre-
sentatives from the local Cham-
ber of Commerce and other
elvic-minded organizations in the
community, interested in com-
munity planning or service. This
council would serve as a clear-
ing house for ideas or commu-
nity problems. An alternative to
these two organizational forms
would be an official planning
body, set up as part of the mu-
nicipal government
Always the Librarian
If all these suggestions are
found not feasible, the executive
can still depend upon the ser-
vices of the local municipal
librarian, These already play a
prominent role in New York City
and Milwaukee.
A_ small _referenc library
available to city officials, fact-
finding techniques and reporting
services can be highly valuable
to hard-pressed City officials
seeking guidance from the ex-
periences of other Cities.
A group of community em-
ployees, working under the town’s
executive, could form themselves
into a research committee. Such
@ group, properly utilized, could
accomplish wonders,
A City executive, determined
to utilize the sources and meth-
ods mentioned by the writer,
would unquestionably advance
his municipality, insure its
progress and prepare it to meet
the numerous post-war problems
with which our ever-growing de-
mocracy will soon be confronted,

necessary both to patient and

ter element frequently, (Every
other oll change is a good prac-
tice.)
6, Keep proper amount of wa-
ter in battery, (Add water when
starting, never when shutting
down.) Keep terminals covered
with grease to avoid corrosion
In gasolnie engines, keep
spark plugs and distributor

Hearings on Charges |
Not Required
ALTHOUGH a_ competitive
class employee is entitled to an
opportunity to answer written
charges of incompetency or mis-
conduct before he can be removed
from his position, he is not en-
titled to a hearing on such|
charges unless he happens to be
a veteran of one of the prior wars
or an exempt volunteer fireman.
This holds true even where the
charges involve the elements of
a crime, All that is required
that written charges be served
on the employee whose refoval
js sought and that he be given a
reasonable opportunity to answer
such charges in writing. This con-
clusion is drawn from a_recent}
decision of the Appellate Division
which reversed a lower court re-
quiring the reinstatement of a
State employee removed without a
hearing on charges that he had
falsified his expense accounts.
Lower Court's Opinion |
The lower court had decided
that the employee should have
been given a hearing on these |
charges, prior to removal, ex-
plaining its determination, in
part, as follows:
“While it is true he was not
strictly entitled to such hearing
by law, nevertheless, since the re-
sult of sustaining the charges)
would be to brand him as a petty |
thief, ordinary decency, if not|
Jaw, would prompt any unbiased
person to at least permit an ac-|
cused to confront in open hearing
the witnesses against him. | te
“When an administrative agen- | p
ey acts in a quasi-judicial capa. |
city, the employees brought to}
trial before it on charges in the|
nature of theft or embezzlement
should be given, so far as is pos-|
sible, a public and impartial hear-
ing, A record should be made
sufficient to permit review by the
court and findings based on the
record should be made to show
what the hearing official or board |
determined from the evidence|
presented. In this proceeding the
minimum protection for the safe-
guarding of petitioner's rights was
not accorded him,
Charges Criticized by Lower Court
“Previous to the enactment of
subdivision 3 of Section 22 of the
Civil Service Law, a discharged
employee had no right of appeal
from an adverse decision, but now
& person aggrieved has the ab-
solute legal right of a complete
review of the facts and law by the
Supreme Court. The courts now
have plenary power to review all
the acts, the procedure and the
evidence relied upon by respon-
dents to uphold its decision, The
accusations against petitioner give
rise to suspicion that the real rea~
son for his discharge has not been
given. The acts of wrongdoing
charged are stale, musty and
vapid, and in criminal and civil
actions would be barred by the
Statute of Limitations, The im-
proper and unlawful acts are
charged to have been committed
more than seven (7) and more
than four (4) years ago, The
charges are of a petty character.
They involve an alleged misap-
Ppropriation of Fifteen ($15) Dol-
lars or Sixteen ($16) Dollars by
petitioner for dinner which the
respondents at this late date say
he should not have charged the |

BERLIN IS ONLY A WHISTLE STOP
Yeah, that was Berlin we just passed.
Seemed like we'd never get there, didn’t it? And now
that we made it, anybody feel like a stopover? Little
celebration or something like that?
Forget it, friend. This is a through train we're on.
And before we get to where we're going, Berlin will seem
like a whistle stop. A dot on the map, once removed.
Tokyo’s our destination. Half a world and billions of
bucks away and one thing is sure! If you're going our
way, you pay your own freight.
That means you keep on buying more and more bonds
until you’ve bought every bond you oan dig up the
dough for. And then you buy another one!
Remember, you might be making this trip the hard
way. From island to island, Through the jungle. In a
B-29. In a submarine.
So don’t feel too sorry for yourself. Get that first extra
bond today ... right now . . . this minute!
b KEEP ON BUYING BONDS TILL IT'S OVER, OVER THERE!
