| Joseph Feily, first
dent of the Civil §

vice presi-

vice En

ees Association, recently attacked

the State's attitude of attempting
to correct it dificultios
through de;
salaries for civil servants.

Mr, Felly's remarks were made
at a meeting of the Central Istip
State Hospital chapter of tho As-
sociation where a dinner saluted
the 75th birthday of the found-
ing of Civil Service in the State.

“We have heard that one of
the answers which has been sug-
gested to correct the sagging ec-~
onomy is to deprive the State em-
ployees of thelr much-needed sal~

economic
rivation of

ary adjustment," he told the large
dence that included legisla-
‘om both political parties.

| “Industry, by contrast, when-
ever it wishes to correct any of
ita economic maladjustments ne-

first by suggesting wages be

clared.

They seek sounder
solutions to the
said.

The Association officer said he
was certain tt

CORRECTION CORNER

By JACK SOLOD
Those Albany Magicians

Fifteen years ago on the Broadway stage, a famous magician,
Fred Keating, performed a new trick which astonished theatergoers.
He stood on the stage in full view of the audience, arms outstretched
and in his hands held a bird cage with a live bird inside. He mut-
| tered a few words and, presto, cage, bird and all disappeared. His
act created & sensation and was the most talked about performance
jon Broadway,

Personally I do not

believe that anybody in Albany studied
under Pred Keating, but the disappearing act that iy now being
performed upon correction officers’ salaries makes his act look
lke kid stuff

Every newspaper tells ua that St
falses in pay, Some are supposed to ect $200 per year while others
will receive $100 to $150 per year. What the papers fall to say de
that thousands of correction officers who are in the hourly reduction
process will receive no raise at all. Only those officers hired since
April 1, 1956, or about five percent of the men, will be the recipients
of w big $100 yearly raise. This big raise will make entrance pay for
omcrrs $4,180 a year. With this grandiose remu-

Sheriffs Waging Selfish Fight on Troopers

Recently some shocking documents came Into our possession.
‘They included a statement of policy adopted by the New York State
Sheriffs’ Association at a meeting held in Syracuse on January 11,
and a copy of @ mimeographed letter which that association sent
to all of the sheriffs throughout the State,

We do not question the rsglit of any organization to adopt resolu-
tions or attitudcs upon any question, but whe the resolution or
attitude tuns counter to what we firmly believe, we have « right
and « duty to speak our mind.

Oppose Increase In Troopers
‘The Sheriff's Association ts opposed to any increase in the force |
of the State police, They frankly say so in the form letter sent to
their members urging then: to write to the legislators in opposition
to the bill increasing the State police force from 1,200 to 1,700. The
Sheriff’ Association calls the bill “harmful.” And in their resolu-
tions adopted in January they urge “before any action ts taken to
Increase the present authorized strength of the State Police” that a
study be made of the whole problem. In public practice, to urge
study" of any question by any administrative or législative group
is to cousign It for a long soujourn in the limbo of forgotten tesues.
Tt Is an unsurpassed. technique of procrastination.

Why State Police Were Formed

The State police were formed in this State becawe of the public
protest that local law enforcement agencies in the rural arcas had
broken down, The State police have earned well nigh universal
approval ond confidence from public sdministrators and private
citizens alike. There has been widespread editorial support for the
Incrense of their staff and function.

In the vast majority of the counties, the sheriff and his deputies
are nol Wuined police officers. They admit this themselves in one of
their form letters when they criticize “some district attorneys” for
“saying they need more (BCI) troopers assigned to their offices to |
do their investigating.” Thelr self-indictment is in the next tro
sentences. “Why not,” they nay in answer to the DA's “deputy sheriffs
instead? If a trooper can be trained to inyestignte, so too can a
deputy sheriit.”

A Source of Political Patronage

Th (he nilddle ages in English history, the office of sheriff was
an important factor in the social order. The cominy of the industrial
revolution, the rise of cities. and the attending technological develop-
ments in transportation, diminished its function and importance.
Under the old “fee system” tt degenerated and became a source of
public scandal. It ts still at a low ebb—being mainly used in many
places as a source and outlet for political patronage.

We are confident that the selfish, short-sighted plea of the
Sheriffs’ Association will fall on deaf ears, The Sheriffs’ Association |
fs oversiepping its function when tt seeks to dictate the size of the
State police force and to oppose much needed increases tn staff. The
citizens of this state are well aware of the desperate need for addi- |
tional woll-trained State police officers and we are confident that
their views will prevail in the legislature,

Alone, You Can't Win

HE continued failure of government to pay com-

petitive salaries for positions that are themselvese
competitive should be a lesson to employees that if they
ever expect to have their pay raised to industrial levels
they must be organized as strongly as are industrial
employees.

The rule is that public employees are not strongly
arganized. There are exceptions. In the State government,
the Civil Service Employees Association almost saturates
the membership potential, and is making great stides in

membership in the County Division, which includes em-|

ployees of local government outside New York City.

On the Federal scene the postal employees alone are
atyongly organized on a large scale, Their very strength
makes for whatever raises the Federal government grants
to both its postal and its classified employees. The postal
workers carry the ball. The classified employees get a
raise because the postal workers win one, In a sense, the
postal workers win a raise for the classified employees;
the classified employees have never gained one for them-
selves,

Employees in all types of work naturally are in-/|

eluded in the CSEA membership, There is none of that
aloofness to organization among clerks, typists, and steno-
graphers that one finds in the New York City govern-
ment, On the Federal scene, the same aloofness prevails,
except among postal employees.

What has to be done to make the holdouts see the
light ?

The Free-Rider a Bone

The bane of organization among public employees,
an effect felt even by the CSEA to an extent, is the free
rider. This is the employee who refuses to join with his
or her fellow-employ¢es for a common aim, pitch in when
work has to be done to promote employees welfare, and
pay dues, But these holdouts don't refuse gains won for
them by others.

The need for organizgtional strength is not confined
to pay objectives. Pensions, vacations, sick leaye, holi-
days, and all other fringe benefits fall within the natural
domain of an employee organization. How hard the lead-
evs of those organizations work for the betterment of the
public employee's lot, few persons can realize, What dif-
ficulties lie in the way of wresting gains from govern-
ment can hardly be imagined by anybody who has not
come to grips with them,

A list of objectives of an employee organization may
traverse the juridictions of a dozen departments and
agencies, It's not like the situation in private industry.
There the employees’ spokesmen sit down with manage-
ment, and one management gives all the answers. Sheer
diversity is a hazard in seeking employee gains from
government unparalled by anything in private industry.

How Much Closer Can You Get?

Even if there were no other objective than adequate
pay, the situation would justify public employees in flock-
ing to organizations founded for their benefit. Not only do
these organizations consist of public employees, but their
leaders themselves are usually public employees, The re-
lationship ts so elose that it ounts almost to kinship.

Government pay policies are usually Inconsistent, con-
tradivtory, and penny-pinching, To the extent that govern-
ment can keep sa To the extent
that employees can prevent it, they MUST,

es down, it does so.

RAISES PUT AHEAD OF

ESIDENCE LAW REPEAL

In “Looking Inside” in your
February 11 issue of The Leader,
H. J, Bernard made an admirable
examination of the quixotic opera-
tion of the Lyons Residence Law,
‘The least we should do is to sup-
port articulate thinking on the
subject when the statute boom-
erangs to injure the very persons
it was meant to aid, *

Promujgated in an era of finan-|

cial depression, the law touchingly
represented a paternal interest in
safeguarding local governmental
employment for those who made
thelr homes within the New York
City limits. Presently, the atmos-
phere of national economic re-
cession offers a poor political oli-
mate in h to campaign for
fepeal of a measure that was
meant to be a boon without a
doggle.

When the standard of living is
Universally low, the question of
|salary is subordinate to the
greater concern for having some
Income, no matter what, But it
was never intended that a resi-
dence law should prove to be a
Sword of Damascus ready to hurtle
down upon those feasting more
jthan sparingly at the banquet
table.

Recruitment Field Exints

Most asuredly, somewhere
within the limits of a elty with «
population aa large and as varied
a6 ours there in a qualified can-
didate for any position the muni+
clpality might advertise, If
cruitment falters, we must deck
the reason elsewhere than in the
Pealdence law, irrespective of that
law's merits or demerits,

Repremion of civic conscious-
ness among eligible residents who
will not come forward can be at-
' (Coutinuad on Page %)

we have stated our position to_

thought to preparation of the 1040, and do additional work. You
can check for yourself to see whether 10 percent of your net income
provites a higher de veiion than iemms ion.

‘The deductions are to be itemized on Page 2 of the 1040 in five
separate categories: contributions, interest paid, taxes, medical and
dental expenses, and, finally, other deductions,

Contributions
Deductible contributions include gifts to religious, charitable,
educational, scientific or literary organisations, and organizations
for the prevention of cruelty to children and animals, unless the
organization is operated for profit or engaces in propaganda, Gifts
to’a veterans’ organization, or # governmental agency which will
use the gift for public purpases, also are deductible, In grneral, the
total for this purpose must not exceed 20 percent of adjusted gross
income, which in general is the income less the cost of obtaling It,
but before personal exemptions, and deductions are subtracted,
| alter the exemptions and deductions are taken the net income, or
taxed income, results,
| Ordinarily the amount for contributions will be less than 10
percent. Yet even 20 percent may be increased to 30 if the extra
10 consists of contributions to-churches, church conventions or asso-
clations, tax-exempt educational institutions, tax-exempt hospitals
and certain medical research organisations,

Interest Paid

Interest as 4 deduction refers to interest payments made on
personal Joans, including mortgages. Exceptions are interest paid on
jloans made to buy tax-cxempt securities or single-premium life
Insurance, Interest paid on another's loan, unless you were legally
obligated to pay it, doesn't count. Interest on purchase loans, as
‘when one buys a car, is deductible at six percent of the average
unpaid monthly balance under the contract

Taxes Paid
Deductible taxes do not Include Federal taxes, but do Include
real estate tuxes, even the proportionate share in cooperative hold-
| ings; the cost of auto plates, driver or chauffeur Mcense, gasoline
| purchases, State Income tax, and sales tax, The taxes nist be
chargeable directly to the consumer, for the deduction to apply, the
only exception being the gasoline tax.

Medical and Dental Expenses

Medical and dents! exnenses consist of amounts paid (o doctors,
| cost of medicines and drugs, health insurance, eye glasses, and
| hea th appliances, In all cases the amount spent for drucs und
medicines must be redyced by one percent of adjusted rors income
| (Line 11, Page 1 of the 1040). The cost of medical and dental ex-
ponses is added to the net medicines-drugs figure, and three percent
| of ndjusted gross income is deducted from the total. Thus the medi-
| elme-drugs iter in subjected to dual reduction. Persons aye 65 or
over, however, are excused from the three percent diminu'!|on, This
usually results in a considerable saving to the oldsters because their
hills of this type wre likely to be heavy, There are monetary limits
|to medical-dental deductions, but they bevin at $2,800.

Your recent article concerning
the proposed upgrading of 189

note that no provision has been
made for fishery biologists in the
Conservation Department, One of
the purposes of the upgrading
was, aa stated by J. Earl Kelly,
to place the State in a better
position to recruit teennical and

Fishery biologists fall in this
class, Freshwater aquatic biolo-
gists are accorded grade 14; senior
aquatic biologists, grade 18, In
Marine work comparable grades
are 18 and 91, Salaries and grades
are too low. In addition, promo-

Jacking, The situation in this
State in similar to that in moot of
the rest of the country and os a
result mor@ vacant fishery posl-
tions are in evidence each year,
The work carried out by fishery
biologists ix of the utmost im~
portance to sport and commer-
clal fishing In this state. But un
legs the best professional men can
be hired and retained, the econ-
omy is bound to suffer in the
Jong run. The responsibility of
each biologist, and especially those |
in research positions, ia equal to
or greater than many similar]
positions which figure so often in)
the news,
To my mind, several lines of
action are possible in this state.
1. Upgrading of aquatic biolo~
gist to grades 18 and 21
to meet the

standards of Marine grades,
Increase of all fishery salar-
ies on a general basis, The

Establishment of more pro-

the profession will continue to

Letters to

(Continued from Page 7)
there has been increasing pres-
sure from various sources (retired
teachers and others) to establish |
a statutory minimum to be guar-)
anteed to all pensioners, regard~
Yess of the actuamal situation
(eg. various legislative bills to
set a floor of $108.50 monthly re-
tirement allowance). There have |
also been various bills proposed to
guarantee a retirement allowance
of 50 percent of final average pay
after a stipulated minimum num-
ber of years of service,

‘What troubles me !s the poasi-
bility that by the time I am actu-
ally ready for retirement my re-
trement allowance (based on my
annuity reserves and the pension
provided by the State) may turn
out to be only a dollar or two a
month higher than the guaranteed
minimum which may prevsil at
such future date. Am I correct in
assuming that, under these cir-
cumstances, all my years of mak-
ing 60 percent additional con-
tributions will, in effect, go down

the drain since the other employ~
ees who, through the years, made
no such additional contributions,
will be guaranteed a legal mini-
| mum approximating what my re-
tirement allowance would be?
Question of Risk

On the assumption that T do |
not intend to quit the State's em-
ploy before retirement, 1s this not
& very real risk? If my estimate
of the situation is correct, would
it not be more equitable to calcu-

allowance on the basis of the
State's pension plus the amount
the employee is required to pay)

(and disregard, for the moment, |
any additional contributions made |
by such employee)? If, after such
calculation, the employee's re-
tirement allowance falls below the |
fegal minimum, erant such em-|
ployee the legal minimum, plus
the actuarial value of any addi-
tonal contributions he has made
through the years, ‘This seems to
me to be eminently falr; anything
else would be wholly unfair and|

safety equipment, fee of income tax consultant, dues, tools and
supplies, fees to employment agencies for getting you @ job, but
not the application fee for taking examinations for government
Jobs; supplies, gambling losses to the extent that they do not exceed
gambling gains; cost of scientific or informational periodicals neces-
sary to Income-production, and proportionate share of home rent
based on the ratio of use for income production. You ¢an not deduct
the cost of travelling to and from work. This is a personal expense.
Public employees living far from the Job location frequently contend
‘hat such a deduction should be allowed, Also, ordinary expenses
necessary to produce income are deductible under “Other De-
duetions," if not already claimed, in a way to be described Inter, in
reducing gross income to adjusted gross income on Page 1 of the
return,

Ttemizing Your Deductions

‘The amounts of contributions. Interest, taxes, medical and dental
expénses, and other deductions, are itemized on the left-hand side
of Page 2, and the totals written in the right-hand side, in the
column provided. The total figure is written down, This will be
subtraction, too, Before Page 2 can be completed one must fill out
significant parts of Page 1.

‘The first thing to do on Page 1 is to claim your exemptions,
‘These are $600 for each person who qualifies as an exemption, which
includes oneself, one’s wife, (or husband), and children or other
dependents, Dependents other than one's children must be specified
lind described on Page 2, Just for the record, not that it makes any
difference in the computation, one's wife {s never her husband's
dependent, though his exemption,

Persons age 65 or over are entitled to two exemptions, $1,200,
for themselves, as are those younger who sight is seriously impaired,
while those both age 65 or over and blind are entitled to three ex-
emptions, $1,800 Tf a spouse is in any of these categories the same
claims are allowable by the taxpayer as they would be if applicable
to him alone, and If applicable to both, are cumulative.

Travel, In and Out of Town

Wages, salaries, bonusex, commissions and other compensation
wre listed next on Page 1, together with the income tax withheld,
and the totals ave struck, Here travel expenses and reimbursed ex-
penses are to be claimed. Travel expenses are those incurred on
out-of-town trips that are at least overnight, and include transporta-
tion, hotel and other expenses, Retmbursed expenses are those in-
curred for local travel in connection with income production, other
than travel to and from work, covering moneys spent against an
expense account allowed by the employer. The amount received must.
be reported as income and the amount spent subtracted. If the
amount spent is greater than that received, the difference is reported
under Other Deductions, Page 2, not under travel, reimbursed ex-
penses, ete. Page 1, Other travel expenses are deductible even in
cases in which local travel expenses are deductible on Page 1, tf in-
curred In connection with the performance of services to one's em~-
ployer, including taxt fares and cost of using your own car, though
any reimbursement must be included as income.

Sick Pay

Sick pay deductions are subject to extensions that do not In
general apply to pubic employees, but to Lose other employees who
are in a contributory system. Public employees get sick leave as
® grant from their employer, within limits, without any contribution
on their part. Thus public employees are subject to the rule of
limitation to $100 a week maximum. If the actual amount received
averages more than $100 a week, the amount deductible equals the
fotal amount received multiplied by 100 and divided by the average
weekly rate of payment. In cases of sickness only, the first seven
days of absence do not count, and payments received for that period
are not deductible, unless you were hospitalized on account of that
sickness for at least one day during any part of your period of
absence (not necessarily during the first seven days). In injury cases,
the deduction counts from the very first day of absence. No hospitali-
zation ts necessary to sustain the deduction.

Sick pay should not be included by the employer as wages, since |

not taxable, but the routine of payroll administration sometimes
results in such inclusion, so that the pay slip (W-2 form) shows too
large a figure. Enter on Line 6(b), Page 1, the amount to be excluded.
Write on that line also “See Attached,” and clip to or paste on your
return an explanation of your computation, indicating the period
or periods of absence, nature of sickness or injury, and, in case of
sickness, whether hospitalized, If you want to use a Federal form,
write to the Director of Internal Revenue for Form 2440. Do not
deduct for sick pay already excluded from income.

Social Security Overpayment
Mf yout W-2 form shows more than $9450 paid under the
Federal Insurance and Contributions Act (Social Security), by more
than one employer, you may claim the excess as a reduction of tax

due or increase in refund on Line 5, col, B, Page 1, and deseribe it | payable to Internal Rovenue Service.

as “P.1C.A, tax.” Put that description under the words "Where Em-
ployed.” But if the same employer charged you more than
then the difference must be recovered from that employ
Vhrough the income tax return,

Meals and Quarters

Meals and living quarters represent a subject of tax importance
fo many public employees. If an employee, for the convenience of
hin employer, receives meals or lodging from the employer at the
place of employment as ® condition of employment, the value is not
taxable and is not even to be reported on your return, Also not even
fo be reported are all government payments to veterans and their
families, except non-disability retirement pay. Also, don’t report

i ‘ |

a nT a

dividends on veterans’ government Insurance, or payments received
under workmen's compensation, damages collected through insurance
or otherwise, for bodily injury or sickness; interest on state or
municipal bonds, life insurance benefits received on the death of the
insured, Federal and State Social Security benefits, Railroad Retire-
ment Act benefits, and gifts, inheritances, and bequests.

Pensions

If one receives # taxable pension, income is reported on Schedule
E, Page 4 of the 1040. In the case of contributory systems, the type
of which public employees are members, the Investment in the con-
tract must be divided by the expected return, and that fraction
applied to the amotnt recelved during the tax year to determine the
amount excludable from tax. The difference ts subject to tax. This
is a tax exemption for a limited period, say, three years in the
average case, after which the allowance is fully includable for tax
purposes.

The contract provides for amounts to be received during the
life of the annuitant, The expected return ts found by multiplying
that annual retirement allowance by a factor that varies with age
and sex and which is found in a table furnished free by the District
Director of Internal Revenue. The determined multiple remains the
same for every year, Ask for the annuity actuarial table. The District
Directors’ offices are; Brooklyn 1, N. Y¥.; 245 West Houston Street,
New York 14, N. Y.: 484 Lexington Avenue, New York 17, N, ¥;
Albany 1, N. ¥\;Syracuse 1, N, ¥.. and Buffalo 2, N. Y.

Joint Returns

Only a married couple may file a joint retuwn. This usually
resfilts in a lower tax. One of the few exeeptions to lower tax would

exist If one spouse with a relatively small income had large medical |

and denial expens:s. A greater amount of those expenses could be
deducted because 3 percent of the small income results in a small
subtraction.

The benefit of a Joint return ts that the net Income of husband
and wife is cut in half, and the tax rate determined by that half is
applied to the entire net income, Thus the amount taxed remains
unchanged, but the rate ts lower, A wife may be included in a joint
return even If she had no income, but not as an exemption If some-
body else paid more than half the cost of her support. If she had
any income at all, even one cent, her husband can not claim her
as an exemption if the (wo file separate returns, Thus where both
had tncome, Joint returns are the rule. Anyone who Js an allowabie
dependent of one of the spouses may be claimed as a dependent of
both in a joint return.

Persons are considered as having been marrivd, for income tax
purposes, during the entire taxable year if they were husband and
wife on the last day of that year. If a spouse dies during the tax
year, dependents are figured on the situation obtaining at the time
of death. The surviving spouse may file a joint return, nevertheless,
and sign both names. In any joint return, algnatures of both husband
and wife are required, No joint return is allowed if either husband or
wife was a non-resident alien at any time during the tax year, But
Joint return benefits may endure for up to three years after the
spouse's death. See Page 7 of the free instruction sheet the Govern-
ment supplies. Also, widows and widowers are entitled to a special
tax computation ‘Page 7. instruction sheet), and there is a tax con-
cession to the head of a family, too (Page 11, instruction sheet),

The tax table on the back of the instruction sheet is not used
by those who itemise their deductions. The tax must be computed.
See the rates on Page 11 of the instruction sheet, but be sure to
select the right table among the three,

Opportunity for Tax Reduction

Education being so costly, there Is m move afoot for tax ex-
emption on that score, particularly to those who send dependents to
college. Meanwhile, however, it is possible to reduce tax. A person
who did not attain the age of 19 during the tax year or sooner, wax
@ student and received more than half of his or her support from
the taxpayer, may be claimed as an exemption, despite earning $600
or more, By student is meant a person who during each of five
calendar months of the tax year was a full-time student at an edu-
cational instiution or pursued a full-time course of institutional-on-
farm training under government auspices. Notice that this benefit
applies also to other than college students, The student may be
entitled to a refund, too, and should file a return to get it, taking
himself as an exensption despite the other exemption claim,

Sixteen Precautions

1, Pill out the top of Page 1 (name, address, etc.)
2, Check off the exemptions and total them.

3. Enter wages, salarise, etc, where employed, amounts; also
state the withholding,

4. Deduct travel, reimbursed expenses, sick pay.

5. Add up adjusted gross income, and write the figure on Line
1, Page 2.

6, Enter the tax (Line 12)

7, Enter other income (Lines 13 to 15}.

8. Repeat amount of tax withheld (Line 17),

9. If you owe current tax state amount on Line 19, Make check

10. If you are entitled to credit or refund, state amount, Line
20, and whether you want credit or refund,

11, Specify county in which you live,

12, If married, state whether your spouse ta making a separate
return, even if this is a joint return, and the answer is No,

13, State whether you owe Federal tax for any year prior to 1957,

14. Sign your name and the date (Por Joint returns, both sign)

15. Paste Copy B of your W-2 form on Page 1

16, Cheek all arithmetic,

No amounts need be carried out to the last cent. If you Uke, you
may eliminate any amount Jess than 50 cents and Incregse any nnount
in the range, 50 to 99 cents, making It $1.

‘The last day to file a return is April 15.

cern over the State financial picture.

in the hospital workers need for salary improvements and stated
that he would keep in contact with all developments regarding the

Health Plan
For Retired
Workers

(Continued from Page 1)
full operation by June 1, 1958.

The Civil Service Employers
Associution has been pressing for
4 full plan since health insurance
for public employees was insti-
tuted last year.

The Blue Cross plans of New
York State and the Blue Shield
plans of New York State, which
provide coverage under the State-
wide Health Insurance Plan fot
current State employees, will be
the carriers of the retirees plan.

Benefits to which retirees will
be entitled will be the same as
those provided by Parts I and 11
of the Health Insurance Pian for
current State employees, These
include hospitalization for up to
120 days in semi-private accom-
modations, therapeutic and diag-
nostic services which are normally
provided by hospitals, and basic
Surgical and in-hospital medical

Assn. Has Waged a Long

Fight to Give Troopers
Proper Place in Service

For the past several months,
the Civil Service Employees As-
Soclation has waged a running
battle to secure members of the
Division of Police their right to
be included in the merit system
Of civil service.

In a letter Inst summer to Al-
exander A. Palk, president of the
Btate Civil Service Commission,
dohn J, Kelly, Jr, Association
@ounsel, argued that troopers were
Properly under the Jurisdiction of
of the Civil Service Department
and were thus entitled to the
fame rights as other civil service
employees regarding hours, wages
and grievance machinery.

Mr, Kelly said in his letter;

“T am writing concerning a
situation in the Division of State
Police which was called to my at-
tention by the recent salary legis-
lation, but which I believe has
even broader implications,

“I enclose copy of memoran-
dum of the Superintendent of
Biate Police stating in essence
that State employees were en-
titled cither to the increase pro-
Vided In the budget or to the sal-
ary increment, whichever ts gre
ter, This is essentially a correct
statement but the point to which
I wish to call your attention is
the fact that it ts stated that all
Civilian employees of the Division
are State employees, I investi-
gated this through Inquiry to

ir department and was in-

appropriate jurisdictional classi~
fleations,

“Por the purpose of formalis-
jing this letter, we respectfully
| demand that appropriate resolu~
|tona be adopted by the commis~
sion covering these employees into
the appropriate jurisdictional
classifications retroactive to the
| date of thelr original appointment
and that such of the positions as
jare assigned to competitive and
| non-competitive classes be as-
| slaned to proper salary grades un-
der Section 40 of the Civil Service
Law."

Last December, Mr, Kelly re-
ceived the following letter from
William J. Murray, Civil Service
Department administrative direc-
| tor, on the subject,

Tt read:

“We have received certain re-
commendations from the com-
mittee designated by the Gover-
nor’s Office to explore the matter
of the application of elvil service
requirements to civilian person~
hel of the Division of State Police.
We have made tentative plans to
wo ahead with a program In con-
nection with this matter. Briefly,
our conclusions, with respect to
| the requirements of the law, and
| our proposals, are as follows:
| Position Classification and
| Salary Allocation

“It 1s our opinion that there ts
| authority in law for the classifi-
cation of civilian positions in the
Division of State Police by the
Director of the Classification and

tions by the Director of the class
ification and Compensation Divi-
sion,

Attendance Rules

“We do not regard the Atten-
dance Rules of the State Civil
Service Commission as applicable
to civilian personnel of the Divi-
sion of State Police. The super-
intendant's rule-making authority
avems to us to encompass such
matters as prescribing the work-
week, vacations, and other time
allowances, As a practical mat-
ter, the division follows our At-
tendance rules substantially in
granting vacations, sick leave,
and other time allowances to its
civilian employees, It is planned
that the superintendent will in-
corporate into his rules for the
civilian personnel provisions pat-
terned upon our own attendance
rules,

Kelly Replies

Mr. Kelly recently replied to
Mr. Murray, refuting some of the
points outlined by Mr, Murray.

He declared:

“Tn accordance with the dis-
|cussion had in your office last
Department and with Capt.
Hoyt of the Division of State Po-
lice, I am reducing to writing
the substance of our comments
which were basically in reply to
your letter of December 19, add-
ressed to me,

“There is no need to discuss

Yon of your department since raw. This would be the first step

1938 when Andresen y, Rice, 277
N.Y. 271 was decided,

"As I read this case, it merely
held that where there ts speci-
flo statutory authorization for
Another State oficial to hold the
Gompetitive examinations which
@re mandated by both the con-
stitution and luw, such statutes
are valid providing the officer en~
trusted with the duty conducts
@xaminations which are open,

the conventional)

protections which are required
for competitive examination,
Opinion Cited

“Tt f# my opinion that the State
(roopers themselves remain un-
@er the jurisdiction of your de-

wiment for all purposea other
tas the holding of competitive
@xaminations and that the other
@mployees of the Division, Le, so
Palled civilian positions, are un-
@er the jurisdiction of your de-

rtment for all purposes, in-
luding examinations, This should
follow since the Andresen case
@nd the statutory provisions

which would be undertaken, and
would form a basis for going
ahead with examinations and ju-
| risdictional ‘classifications.
| Examinations
| "it is our opinion that the su-
|perintendent of State Police ts
| vested by law with authority to
conduct examinations for ap-
|pointments to civilian positions
jin thé Division of State Police,
| Following the classification of po-
sitions, Jobs for which examina~
Yon is found to be practicable
would thereafter be subject. to
examination requirements, Al-
though the superintendent has
the examining authority, it Is ex-
pected that as a practical matter,
for most positions, our depart-
ment would furnish him with
names from appropriate eligible
lu However, such eligibles
| would necessarily be subject to
| the usual character Investigation
conducted by the State Police,
| Jurisdictional Classification
| of Positions

“In our opinion, the examining
authority vested in the superin-

conduct a position classification
of civillan positions in the Divi-
sion and allocate to appropriate
gvades under Section 40 of the
Civil Service Law,

“As a mutter of law we are also
agreed that the superintendent
has statutory authority to ex-
amine for civilian position in the
division, This, I should point out,
18 merely agreement with the ex-
isting law, not agreement with
the plan which the statute ex-
presses. There is certainly no ap-
parent reason why the superin-
tendent should elther be entrus-
ted or burdened with the respon-
aibilty for examining for posi-
Mons which are common through-
out the State Service, We would
recommend an intelligent revi-
sion of that portion of Section
215 of the Executive Law in or~
der to put the legal as well as the
practical responsibility for ex-
amining for such positions in the
Civil Service Department,

Where Responsibility Lies

“Your third point involved the
responsibility for jurisdictional
Classification of positions, We
cannot agree with your conclu-
sion that the examining author-
ity vested by statute in the su-

Which {t interpreted apply only|tendent carries with it, as a ne-|porintendent carries with it as

fo troopers and not to other em-
Ployecs in the division.

"In view of these clreumstan-
ges it ts our feeling that t he civ-
on employees of the Division of

tate Police as a matter of law
fre under your jurisdiction and
that {¢ is the duty of the com-
Biission to assign these positions
fo proper Jurisdictional classifica-
Won, As a result of the foregoing,
B ls also our feeling that they
@e entitled to the salary treat-
Ment which would be accorded to

| Cessary incident, the authority to
| determine for each position whe-
|ther oy not examination Js prac-
|ticable and, if 30, whether com-
petitive examination is practice
able, Such determinations are, in
effect, jurisdictional classifica-
tions, and, consequently, it la the
view of the committee that the
superintendent has authority to
adopt rules for the Jurisdictional
classification of positions, These
rules would, of course, be effective
only upon approval by the Gover=

them when they are properly | nor. This would be done follow-
Placed in the classified service in| ing the adoption of Job classifica~

| an Incident the authority to de-
|termine jurisdictional classifica-
ton. As we see it the statute now
delegates for some unknown rea-
son the ministerial task of con-
ducting examinations to the su-
perintendent. It does not men-
tion either expressly or by rea-
sonable implication the authority
to determine what jurisdictional
| classification the position shall
| occupy. The entire body of law
having to do with jurisdictional
classification is found in the Cir
vil Service Law, Indeed, the va-
rious classes and names given to

of the necessity of additional per-
sonnel, We realize, as we are
sure you do, that there is no more
time honored device for delaying
activity on important legisiative
matters than to urge that a study
‘be made,

“We think that it is high time
that the Legislature realized and
recognized that the Sheriffs’ As-
sociation is this year, as it has
done for many years past, oppos-
ing all legisiation which gives
promise of good, effective, State-
wide law enforcement, In these
days when Appalachin has become
& byword for organized crime and
when local enforcement agencies
have been closely scrutinized and
investigated as in the Saratoga
hanging case in the summer of
1987, the activities of the under-
manned and overworked Division
of State Police are heartening to
observe.

“It was not the local law en-
forcement ngency that discovered
and broke wp the oppalachin
Convention, but rather a small
detail of State police that by
careful grass roots investigation
had learned of the conclave,
Again in the Saratoga case, @

few days after the State police
were called in, the homocide was
made evident and the State po-
lice arrested the accused.

“We feel that continued recog-
nition of the traditional self-in-
terested opposition to good State-
wide law enforcement by the
Sheriffa’ Association constitutes =
clear and present danger to the
citizens of the entire State.

“Modern law enforcement and
crime detection and modern lines
of communication mandate State-
wide professionally trained and
professionally capable law officers
as are exemplified by our State
troopers.

“Modern crime prevention and
crime detection does not lend It-
self to politically appointed, un-
trained organizations such as now
exist In many counties of the
State.

“We respectfully urge your
committee and the honorable
bodies of the Legislature to con-
sider carefully the problem raised
by the above Jegisintion and to
evaluate the opposition of the
Sheriffs’ Association for what it
is, manifestly selfish opposition to
good law enforcement and crime
| detection.”

such classes are a creature of
the Civil Service Law and the au-
thority and responsibility for
making such determination in
the public service are vested in
the Civil Service Department.

“We recognize that the super~
intendent would undoubtedly, if
he had the authority, classify
positions in the same jurisdic-
tional class as the comparable
civil service titles. Our point is
not that the present superinten-
dent might abuse the power but
the principle that the appoint-
tng authority should not and is not
as a matter of both practice and
luw the person charged with re-
sponsiblity for jurisdictional clas-
sification.

“We therefore again urge that
the ultimate responsibility for de-
termining the jurisdictional cli
ses of positions in the Division
of State Police belongs in the
Civil Service Department.

“This is not to say that the
superintendent would not play an
important part in such determi-
nations since it would be up to
him to point out facts and rea-
sons for whatever classification
he feels is proper, just as must all
other appointing officers In State
government,

Attendance Rules

The fourth item waa the At-
tendance Rules,

“Our position with respect to
the Attendance Rules is sub-
stantially similar to the position
we take with respect to juris-
dictional classification. The sta-
tute confers on the superintend-
ent the right to make rules and
regulations concerning the "dis-
cipline and control” of the divi~
sion, It is our contention that
this by no manner or means en-
compasses a» broad an urea as
does the term "Attendance
Rules.” For example, the authe
ority under which the Civil Ser-
vice Department establishes At-
tendance Rules, Section 10 of the
Civil Service Law, reads in part as
follows; “The Commission shall
from time to time make rules...
in the State servioe, for sick
leaves, vacation, time allowances
and other conditions of employ-
ment".

‘Thie lo the matter which we

refer to by Attendance Rules and
from which the Commission de-
rived its authority to establish
the existing Attendance Rules for
the State service, It also should
be noted that there ts no excep-
tion in the statutory direction to
adopt rules for the State service.
In accordance with the ordinary
rules of statutory construction
statutes should be read to be con-
sistent rather than inconsistent
where possible.

“Without going into detail
there Is ample room for rules
having to do with discipline and
control which do not effect time
allowances, sick leaves, vacations
personal leaves, hours of work
and other similar matters which
are properly the subject of At~-
tendance Rules.

“We therefore respectively sub-
mit that It ts not a matter of dis-
cretion or Judgment whether or
not the question of Attendance
Rules should be one for the su-
perintendent or the Civil Service
Department but it is already an
accomplished matter of law and
the Civil Service Department ts
mandated thereby to cover the
division by appropriate rules,

“This summarizes basically our
contentions with respect to the
items discussed in your letter and
discussed at our conference, and
we respectfully request reconsid~
eration of items three and four
and your early advice as to de~
termination thereof, or in the al~
ternative an early opportunity to
discuss these matters.”
