How the New Draft Rules
Affect Public Employees

Many government workers—Federal, State and Municipal—are
wondering about their status under the new draft rulings by Selective

Service,

The LEADER asked Selective
Service Headquarters in New York
City for the answers to some of
the questions which clear up the
situation of public workers and
their standing with their draft
boards.

‘Here are the questions, and the
@nswers. In cases where there are
unusual circumstances, Selective
Service advises that the employee
should call at his local draft board
to determine just where he stands,

‘The questions and answers:

Is Government work essential
under Selective Service Rules?

Ans,—Yes, Government work is
wonsidered essential.

Does this include Federal, State,
@ounty, and City services?

Ans. — Yes, all governmental
@gencies fall within the essential
slassification.

Is the department required to
place with the local board any

Statement for those employees it

wants deferred, or does govern-
ment employment automatically
defer the employee?

Ans—The local board should
defer most employees in govern-
ment service except those whose
work is unessential (for example,
gardening is on the list of un-
essential jobs. A climber and
pruner in @ Parks Department
might be refused deferment). In
cases where an employee is placed
in 1-A by his local board, the de-
partment may file Form 42-B
(statement of employment in an
essential industry), or Form 42-A
(request for deferment), See next
question,

Suppose a local board insists on
calling up a public employee for
the draft, and suppose the em-
ployee is willing to take another

| Job in a war industry—what is his

situation in view of the War Man-
power “freeze” affectng Govern-

Ans-—He may ask his depart-
ment for a release to allow him
to take a more essential job, If
the department won't release him,
he may appeal to the War Man-
power Commission, The fact that
his local board does not consider
his government work éssential will
be @ factor to be by the
WMC in his case.

What age limits are covered by
present draft regulations?

Ans.—I8 through 37,

Do an employee's dependents
make any difference so far as his
draft classification is concerned?

Ans,—Yes, The 3-D Classifica-
tion still defers men om grounds
of hardship dependency. And local
boards must still give this factor
some consideration,

While the State Insurance De-

The Federal Government ts making possible for New York
City Firemen and officers who face heavy losses in the pending
liquidations of Fire Department Endowment Associations, to get back

income tax reduotions.

ment ruling the firemen must
first wait until they are notified
by the State Insurance Depart-|
ment just how much they will re-
ceive after liquidation of the
membership organizations. Then
they should take a copy of the
Endowment Association policy,
the State department communica-
tion, and a record of their dues
payments to any Internal Revenue
office, where they will be assisted
in computing the amount they
may deduct from their earned in-
come,

The Ruling

Here is the text of the ruling:
“The Bureau (internal Rev-
enue) held that the transaction
was one entered into for profit)
and therefore the loss is deducti- |
ble under the provisions of Sec-

| amount received upon final settle-

tion 23(e) of the Internal Rev-
enue Code,

“The amount of the loss is the
difference between the cash sur-
render value of the contract at
the time the Association was
placed in liquidation and the

ment, except that if the amount
paid in premiums reduced by the
cost of current earned life in-|
surance was less than the cash}
surrender value at that time, then
only the difference between that)
amount and the amount received |
is deductible.”

Figuring Loss

‘This point is important: Pire-
men will not be able to figure out |
their payments into the fund,
subtract the amount they get in}
liquidation, and call that their loss,
In figuring the loss, the Govern-
ment considers that fact that they
did get insurance protection while
the Associations were still active: |
that tbe cash surrender value of}
their contract is the important
figure.

At the time, Commissioner

that he was temporarily assign-

made “shortly” to allow a method

But, employees complain, under
the new setup, they are working
under a handicap. The deputy
commissioner is well liked by the
staff, but he is head of personnel.

tion of haying to ask him to re-
verse himself, That, they feel,
means they start any negotiations
with two strikes on them,

At first Commissioner Marsh said
he couldn't make any appoint-
ments of a new Director of Staff
Relations out of respect to “Com-
missioner Arnstein’s wishes." Since
the death of the former Commis-
sioner, Marsh has just refrained
from taking any action on the}
matter, i

A staff of 3,500, Welfare em-
ployees feel, calls for someone to
handle grievances and disciplinary
matters, In addition to his per-
sonnel duties, Deputy Piccirillo
has many administrative tasks.

‘The official listing pf his duties
when he “was appointed, doesn’t
seem to leave him much time to

What They Want

More promotion opportunities,

The workers point out that they
staff a revenue-producing agency,
which brings some $40,000,000 a
year into the municipal treasury.
But they suffer from unfilled po-

say, are the employees who have

of $2,400 a year. Except for the

Permanent Status for
State Salary Board

HAT OUTFIT with the big name—the Temporary
State Salary Standardization Board—dies Decem-
ber 1, 1945. The Board should be made permanent.

The Board was set up by the Legislature to do a
definite, limited job. That job proved to be bigger, and
more important, than expected. And from time to time,
the Legislature has extended the life of the Board for
limited periods.

The duties of the Board, under the law, are to eatab-
lish wage schedules for employees in the competitive and
non-competitive classes, and to hear appeals after alloca-
tion of the position. The determination of the Salary
Board has nothing compulsory about it; the Budget Office
can accept its findings or not.

The Salary Board has functioned in a singularly
democratic manner, listening to all manner of complaints
within its province, And this aspect of its work has won
it high regard.

But in the past two years the Board
creasingly subject to criticism, This criti
the fact that the Board, instead of functioning as an inde-
pendent body, has in effect become an arm of the Budget

Office. There is deep cleavage among the members of
the Board themselves: whereas, in previous years, deci-
sions had forthe most part been unanimous, 3-to-2 deci-

sions have become increasingly frequent. It has been
pointed out that a Salary Board which fails to function
independently is actually a hindrence, because it wastes
time in listening to employees and thus holds up deci-
sions which are ultimately made from the Budget Direc-
tor’s office anyway.

Nevertheless, the Salary Standardization Board on
the whole has justified its existence as an important func-
tion in the relationship between employees and admin-
istration. And assuming that it would have full freedom
to operate as an independent body, it should become a
permanent agency, with its own staff. We like the plan
advanced by the Association of State Civil Service Em-
ployees, under which the Salary Board would be set up
like the National War Labor Board—with three members
representing the employees, three representing the ad-
ministration, and three members representing the public.
Th Board would be empowered to hear salary questions
and act on them decisively. It would mark a big advance
forward in public administration.

Vets Urged To Preserve Rights
To Their Readjustment Allowance

Returning veterans who visit local offices of the
United States Employment Service are being urged
to preserve their rights to readjustment allowances
as long as possible by accepting essential employ-
ment whenever available.

As part of the USES special service program for
veterans, the Veterans’ Employment Representa~
tives stationed in the 1,500 local employment
offices haye been instructed to explain provisions
of Title V of the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act
of 1944 pertinent to allowance payments and are
attempting to correct any misapprehension on the
part of service men that the allowance is a
gratuity,

Although any determination regarding disquali-
fication of # veteran to receive readjustment al-
lowances remains the responsibility of the
unemployment compensation agency concerned,

the USES {s charged with the re-
sponsibility of providing the agen-
ey with information about refusal
to accept suitable employment
without good cause.

George Ostermann

HE STARTED to work for New
York City as a eee: -year office

boy, but today George Ostermann
feels that the Citys should raise
the salaries of new employees to
compete with private industry
and other government agencies.

As chief clerk of ‘the NYC
Health Department, his biggest
worry is getting out the work of
the department with a depleted
staff, while new employees won't

DEWEY AND THE LEGISLATURE

THERE'VE BEEN predictions that Governor Dewey and tha
State Legislature aren't going to hit it off this year.. Some of thoes
predictions go farther, say that some of the worst political antagonian

with the Legislature will be as smooth, as harmonious, as last year...
Incidentally, public employees may confidently look forward te

POLICE CALLS

The Lite of a Patrolman

“In the line of Duty," New
York City police face many haz-
ards, On the wall at Police Head-
quarters, 240 Centre Street, Man-
hattan is a plaque to the men of
the department who have given
their lives in the performance of
duty, In 1944, one name was ad-
ded to the list; four in 1943; one
in 1942; five in 1941; three in

But many others face the same
risk in the course of their job.
Some receive the honor of depart-
mental recognition—extra credit
on promotion examination, The
records of the department flus-
trate the service rendered to the
City’s citizens by the “Finest.”
Here are the reasons why some of
the cops received special awards
a few weeks ago.

He Was Off Duty

Patrolman Richard Ryan, Emer-
gency Service Squad No, 11 (was
assigned to the Emergency Sery-
ice Division at time of occur-
rence). While off duty and in ci-
vilian clothes, in the vicinity of
Hendrickson Sireet and Avenue
U, Brooklyn, observed three sus-
Picious men pouring gasoline from
® can into the gas tank of an
automobile, Upon being question-
ed, two of the men fled and the
third man jumped into the auto-
mobile and started to drive away.
As Patrolman Ryan jumped on
the running board, the operator
of the car fired @ shot at him
through the window of the car,
but missed. Patrolman Ryan re-
turned the cogs wounding the
operator twice in the left arm.)
After zig-zagging the car and run-
ning it against the curb, the oper-
ator succeeded in shaking off|
Patrolman Ryan, who fired two)
more shots at the speeding auto-
mobile, The car and revolver were
later recovered and the three men
were apprehended by other of-
ficers, who have received awards
for their performances in this
case, Those men had stolen the

of two robberies earlier that same
wenn, They were identified for

nerous other robberies within
the Borough of Brooklyn,

However, the Legislature has by statute provided that fts own
employees need not be appointed under the Civil Service Law or Rules.

Divisions of the Civil Service

name in any statute; all offices filled by appointment by the Gov-
ernor, either upon or without confirmation by the Senate, except
officers and employees in the executive offices; all persons appointed
by the Secretary of State subject to the approval of the Governor;
all election officers; and the head or heads of any department of
government,

The classified service covers positions which may be classified by
civil service commissions as exempt, non-competitive, and competitive.
Although the State Civil Service Commission must certify that em-
ployees in the classified service are legally appointed to their positions
before they can be paid their salaries, such Commission is not
required to certify to the legality of appointment of persons in the
unclassified service, including legislative employees, Their appoint-
ments and the certification of their payrolls are, as noted, outside
the Civil Service Law and Rules,

Tenure ef Office

Legislative employees are not granted the protection against
arbitrary dismissal which Section 22 of the Civil Service Law gives
to all competitive class employees and to these subordinate, exempt
nd non-competitive class employees who are veterans

exempt volunteer firemen.

Furthermore, the provisions of Section 31 of the Civil Service}
Law, granting preferred eligible list status to competitive class em-
Ployees who are Iafd off due to lack of work or funds, do not apply
to legislative employees.

Legislative employees are not covered by the provisions of the
Peld-Hamilton salary law, inasmuch as they are neither competitive
Ror non-competitive class employees.

‘There is tremendous need for arousing public Interest im the
Merit system as incorporated in the State Constitution. In this
connection, we think a statement made by the Court of Appeals in
People ex rel McClelland vs. Roberts, 148 N. Y. 360, some years ago is
challenging to many of the exceptions which have been made in laws
and rules, Said the Court: “If the Legislature should all the
statutes and regulations on the subject of appointments in the civil
service, the mandate of the constitution would still remain, and
would so far execute itself as to require the courts, in a proper case,
to pronounce appointments made without compliance with its require-
ments illegal.”

Let us get back to the original merit and fitness guarantee of
the Constitution, adopted in 1894, as rapidly as we can—the clause |
of which Chief Justice Hughes, as Governor, once said: “There is no
clause in the constitution since those great clauses embodying our |
fundamental rights were written which is of greater importance to|
the maintenance of high standards of administration than that
clause.”

Vet Preference
To be Debated
Over Radio

ALBANY.—The question of vet-
erans preference will be debated
via radio on Sunday, January 7,
between 1:30 and 2 P.M.

“Should Returning Veterans Be
Given Civil Service Preference” is
the subject of a debate to be
broadcast over WGY, powerful
Schenectady station, from Union
College.

Upholding the affirmative will be
Jacob Ark, who will speak in favor
of the Hampton-Devany bill now
before the State legislature. Mr,
Ark is former New York State
chairman of the American Legion,
An opposing point of view will be
presented by John T. DeGiraff,
Counsel for the Association of,
State Civil Service Employees.
Mr, DeGraff will not oppose pref-
erence outright, but will present a

of preference under which,
feels, the merit system has a
chance of up

better standing

measure,

THE NEW YORK GUARD NEEDS MEN

As MORE and more Federal troops are sent out of the United States
and those remaining are being trained for overseas service, the State
Guards of the various States become of greater and greater importance.
They are the first line of internal defence against any disaster, be it
man-made or an act of nature.

Tue New York Guard has already supplied the Federal armed services
with innumerable officers and large numbers of men who have been
trained to speak and understand the military language. It is a proven
fact that members of the Guard on entering the Federal service reach
non-commissioned and commissione d grade much faster than any others.

Goy. THOMAS E, DEWEY, by recent legislation, has decreed that
members of the New York Guard employed by State agencies or
municipalities will lose no pay or vacation time because of time spent
in the service of the State through the Guard up to thirty days a year.
It is the earnest desire that all employers within the State voluntarily

adopt such a ruling.

Ir IS understood that there are some 300,000 civil service employees
in the New York State area. It is earnestly hoped that that great force
will supply the Guard with a substantial number of members.

Discounts and Tax Exemptions
Practical Ways In Which a Community Can Save on Its Purchases

By JOSEPH W. NICHOLSON
City Purchasing Agent, Milwaukee, Wis.

MUNICIPALITIES can obtain
special trade discounts if they or-
der the right amount of merch-
andise. For instance, many com-
Modities, such as electric lamp
bulbs and steel products, have a
sliding scale of yade discounts de-

ding upon the quantity con-
Fractea for, so that by purchasing

our
hundredweight lower

to municipalities an additional
trade or “customer classification”

lowest bidder,

While cash discounts may seem
insignificant, the City «£ Milwau-
kee saves from $26,000 to $54,000
per annum.

Federal Sales and Transportation
Tax Exemptions

Municipalities are exempt from
paying Federal excise tax
vided exemption certificates are
signed with yendors at the time
of purchase. These taxes were re-
cently revised upward so that
they now represent a large addi-
tional expense to those who do
not take advantage of exemptions.
Every person who spends muni-
cipal funds for materials, equip-
ment and services should be given
a list of taxable items so that
none of these charges are paid
through oversight, For example,
municipalities use cameras and
other photographic equipment on
which there is a sales tax of 25%.
On sensitized paper, films and
Plates the tax is 15%. There is a
15% tax on telegraph and tele-

phone toll services and a 20% tax }y

on electric light bulbs as well as

How One Community

Tapped New

Columbus, Ohio., has devel-
oped a six-polnt program to ob-
tain needed money to help fi-

Hance city government opera-
tions, the International City
Managers Association reports.

The ideas are of interest to of-
ficials and employees of other
communities.

‘The city entered 1944 with a
heldover deficit of about $1,100,-
000, which brought about a sub-
stantial reduction of the city
budget to $2,953,332 for this year.
With the city property tax pro-
ducing hardly 50.per cent of the
budget money, the city began a
search elsewhere, As a result;

1, The city council levied a
5 per cent consumers’ utility tax,
under which 5 per cent is added
to all utility bills—gas, electric,
telephone and water—to obtain
about $850,000 annually,

Low-Cost Sanitation

2. The city council adopted a
low-cost garbage and rubbish
collection service program, which
is offered to those desiring it
Cards were printed and sold for
$5, $6 and $7 depending upon
the size of the container used.
This provided about $325,000
during 1944,

3, Money was needed to in-
crease city recreational facilities,
so the city raised the price of
taxi licenses from $25 to $125
annually and the revenues ear-
marked for recreational pur-
poses.

Utility Pays License

4, A plan was worked out be-
tween the city council and the
local public utility company un-
der which the company, which
has been operating its trans-
portation system for years with-
Out paying the city a license fee,
agreed to pay the city $1,500.000
for a five-year license, The first
Payment amounted to $500,000.
which was applied against the
million dollar deficit,

Revenue

the services; factories outside
the city limits which for years
recelved fire protection without
cost were required to sign con-
tracts with the city for such pro-
tection and pay for the service,
Following these financial in-
novations and readjustments, the
administration received a vote of
confidence in a popular subscrip-
tion of $40,000—$25,000 to launch
a smoke abatement program, $10,-
000 to establish a scientific crime
laboratory and $5,000 to organ-
ize a junior police movement.

NYC Fire Dept.
"Sold" on Use
Of Radio Aids

New York City's Fire Depart-
ment, which answers over 60,000
fire alarms each year, finds radio
communication an invaluable ald.
Other fire departments can find
equal results from the use of
radio apparatus.

After five years of successful
use, the big City Fire Depart-
ment is “sold” on the advantages
of aerial communication, Outly-
ing central offices keep in con-
stant touch with the central office
through two-way radio installa-
tions.

‘Two-Way Equipment

Chief officers have two-way
equipment in thelr cars which
keeps them in touch with head-
quarters, enables them to know
what's happening at all times, to
receive reports and issue orders,

Rescue squads have sets
mounted in the cabs of their
trucks which assure communica
tion while responding to calls
at high speed, and at the scene

of the emergency.

‘The radio sets are particularly
useful to the department's fire
boats. Pack sets carried on the

Court, Says Attorney
\ New York City’s Comptroller
Joseph D, McGoldrick and As
sistant Deputy Comptroller More
ris Paris will be singing the pris<
oners’ song if Attorney Leon M,
Walistein has his way.

‘The attorney for a group of
NYC electricians has charged the
Comptroller and his assistant with
contempt of court and has asked
the Supreme Court to issue a con~
tempt order against them.

It’s all because the Comptroller
refuses to recognize some wage
complaints filed by electricians
which haven't been validated to
meet the Comptroller's requires
ments. The lawyer charges that

"| he’s deliberately y violating @ Court

order of Justice Timothy A, Leary,
in the case of Rooney vs, Mo~
Goldrick. ‘The Comptroller says
he didn’t violate anything, and
the Supreme Court's decision is
due soon,
