Book of Facts
Suggested by
John T. DeGraff
ALBANY, Noy, 16—Few employ-
ets are aware of the tax angle
when they select retirement op-
tions. Yet serious hardship can
result from failure to take the tax
factor into consideration.
John T. DeGraff, counsel to the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion, has asked State Comptroller
J, Raymond McGovern to prepare
a booklet as a step toward inform-
ing employees “and so avoid or
minimize the crushing impact of
Federal taxes upon retirement
benefits.” The Comptroller has re-
plied that he looks sympathetically
upon the suggestion, and has ar-
ranged for a meeting between Mr.
DeGraff and Deputy Comptroller
Milton Alpert on the subject.
A Difficult Problem
Said Mr. DeGraff:
“When retirement options were
originally set up, little or no
thought was given to the effeet of
Federal taxation because it was
not a serious problem at that time.
At the present time, however, the
selection of an option is a very
difficult problem. It involves not
only a choice of an option that

ve of
would be most beneficial for the
employee's family, but it also in-
volves consideration of the impact
of Federal inheritance and income
taxes on the option selected. The
problem is made increasingly diff_i-
cult because the Federal Internal
Revenue Bureau is continually
changing its rulings as to the
taxability of retirement benefits.”
“Tax Angles”
Mr. DeGraff gives an example
of the serious consequences that |
can result from failure to realize
* He says:
ple, an employee
selects Option 1, only to find that
the reserve is taxable as income
to his beneficiary in a single year,
@ serious hardship may result. It
is difficult in some cases to deter-
mine whether certain options will
be taxed under the estate tax or
under the income tax laws.”
Many Unaware
Mr, DeGraff points out also that
many retired employees and many
beneficiaries are unaware of the
problems involved in filing re-
turns on the amounts they re-
ceive from the Retirement System.
“I suspect,” he says, “that some
employees or beneficiaries may pay
the full tax on their retirement
income without realizing that they
can reduce the tax on the applica-
tion of the 3 per cent rule. Others
may treat retirement benefits as

income when they might property
be treated more advantageously
under the estate tax.”
Por these reasons, Mr. DeGraff
suggests that the Retirement Sys-
tem might well take the initiative
in preparing for the employees am
authoritative statement as to the
taxability of various retirement
benefits.
Rules Might Change
One problem involved in the
preparation of such a statement te
the fact that the Internal Revenue
Bureau might change its rulings
after the pamphlet was prepared,
Nevertheless, Mr. DeGraff argut
this does no invalidate the ni

sell, counsel to the State Tax De
partment, has assured Mr. DeGraf®
that his staff would contribute ite
services in making a comprehen-
sive review of the inheritance and
income tax laws in relation to re
tirement benefits.
New Options Possible
“Such a study,”. concludes the
CSEA counsel, “may indicate the
advisability of establishing one er
more new retirement options tha
would ordinarily be more favor
coe taxwise, than the existing op
ons.”
Comptroller McGovern pointed
out that, in addition to constant
changes in Federal rulings, there

Civil Service test. The competition in these tests is intense.
In some cases as few as one out of five applicants pass!
Anything you can do to increase your chances of passing is
well worth your while,
Franklin Institute is a privately owned firm which helps
thousands pass these tests each year. The Institute is the
Jargest and oldest organization of this kind and it is not

Distinguished Author
Dr. Wallack’s books, monographs
and articles in the fields of edu-
cation and penology have received
world-wide recognition and have
been translated into many lan-
guages. Japan used Dr. Wallack's
writings as the basis for reorgani+
zation of its penal system after
World War IL
He has been officer and member
of many professional groups
has served as lecturer, moderator
and consultant to civic, private ang
professional organizations,
A recent “Life” magazine article
dealing with penal institutions
called Dr, Wallack “one of the best
wardens in the country.” Under his
direction, it said, Wallkill “has
become the model for progressive
prisons both in this country and
abroad.”

of living possible for you after re-
tirement will be good for you. Self
aluation and self criticism are

Heavy Blows
To Merit System
HEN will public employees realize that the heavy
blows to the merit system are blows to them per-
sonally?
At all levels of government—Federal, State and local
—the merit system is taking a beating. The firings in Fed-
eral agencies, the efforts to weaken bipartisan control of
¢ivil service commissions, the reduction of protections now
afforded to public employees, the continued treatment of
eivil servants as second-class citizens in labor relations and
the violations of the merit system, are alarming.
Public employees have much at stake and cannot de-
pend on civic organizations to do the job for them. A radio
news commentator comes out publicly—time and again—
for removing hundreds of thousands of U. 8. jobs from
eivil service protection. This could enable such positions
te go to political hacks. A New York State legislative re-
port on civil service advocates greater flexibility in the
ene-in-three rule, which is a primary protection to eligi-
bles. If the recommendation were adopted, it could intro-
duce factors other than merit in appointment and promo-
tion.
A change in atmosphere is essential. Leaders of public
employees must undertake the task of re-educating the
better government for the people is the goal.
public, The creation of dignity in the public service and
Question,
Please
WE ARE State employees, re-
quested to work overtime In emer-
gency, but the emergency has last-
ed six years, Some of us don’t like
the overtime idea, Does the Con-
don-Wadlin anti-strike law pre-
vent us from refusing to work
overtime? Upstate Group.
Answer — No, but attendance or
departmental rules have the full
force and effect of Jaw, Such rules
usually cover the situation you
describe,
AS I AM a provisional, and on
fan eligible list for permanent ap-
pointment, I look forward to per-
manency. I'm told that there may
be a gap in my employment be-
cause I'm not high enough on the
list. As I passed the test, is is fair
that I should lose out, even tem-
porarily? Cc. E.
Answer — Yes, it's fair, since
eligibles are appointed in the or-
der of their relative standing on
the eligible list, which gives weight
to merit. Provisional employment
carries no weight, except for a
limited experience claim. Also, the
law requires appointment in the
order of standing. Even if drop-
ped, you'd be rehired when you be-
come the next eligible entitled to
appointment.
80 THAT my U. 5S. annual leave
won't grow outdated, I'd like to
take my accumulated leave first,
and save some of the current leave,
Can this be done? G. V. O'C.
Answer — No, Current leave
must be exhausted before accumu-
lated leave may be used. Also, all
accumulated leave must be used
within m= period set by your de-
partment. The maximum period
allowed by any department is 10
rs, Pro-rating, on an annual
‘is, is the practice in requiring
the exhaustion of accumulated
leave,

CIVIL SERVICE
MAARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
THE LETTER that Vincent R. Impellitteri, NYC's Mayor, sent
to Governor Thomas E. Dewey, asking him to include Social Security
coverage on the agenda of the special session of the Legislature
called for November 17, included one important point that received
no emphasis anywhere. The Mayor would make Social Security cov~
erage retroactive to January 1, 1951, which the State did not de
when including 10,000 in Social Security, and local governments out~
side NYC aren't doing.
The retroactive benefit is important and valuable, representing
& grand buy, though to the employee it represents an investment of
about two weeks’ pay. The employer puts up an equal amount foe
the two-year back period.
Who Would Benefit?
The coverage, In all these cases, is for employees not members
of a public employee retirement system, hence not now under either
that or Social Security. Many, though eligible, didn't join a public
employee retirement system. The reqeusted law would authorize exclu-
sion of these titles from eligibiilty in the NYC Employees Retirement
System, and that would permit putting them under Social Security,
A HOUSE Appropriations Subcommittee thought that the U. &
could save a lot of money by hiring private contractors to cleam
Federal buildings. The General Services Administration found other-
wise. Bids for the work in Washington, D. C., locations were for
amounts far in excess of the present cost of having the U. S. do the
work itself, with its own employees, Bids for the same work in NYC
Indicated there'd be no saving. Result: the U. 8. continues to cleam
its own house,
THE DIFFICULTY of devising any rule or law that will be equalty
fair to all, is no secret to civil service administrctors.
The enforcement of the new U. S. annual leave law, for instance,
produces particularly obnoxious results in the Veterans Administra-
tion, Thousands of employees accumulated annual leave because dur=
ing the war they were denied permission to use their leave, or volun
tarily refrained from using leave, for patriotic reasons. Now the law
puts a limit of 30 days on the amount of annual leave that may be
accumulated in the future. Meanwhile, previously accumulated leave
must be used up, but only after currently earned leave is taken,
Liberal Policy
Different periods are allowed by different departments, but the
VA goes along with the other liberally administered departments,
allowing 10 years, at the rate of at least 10 per cent in each year, te
Nquidate accumulation. Employees with 60 to 90 days’ accumulated
leave would have to add six to nine days a year to normal annual
Jeave, although their personal interests might be better met by a dif-
ferent distribution, However, the law is the law, and Harvey V. Higley,
VA Administrator, is sorry he can't do better,
“This plan,” says Mr. Higley, “is tantamount to reducing employ-
ment.”
So the new annual leave law can even run counter to the needs
of the service,

Editor, The LEADER:
Evidence on Low Pay Rates
IN A RECENT ARTICLE in this column, we pointed out some of
fhe inequities that exist in State service, One of the areas in which
these inequities exist, is at the entrance level for professional person-
mel. In this*article, we pointed to some internal inequities and sug-
gested that the hiring rate of slightly over $1.50 per hour for a col-
Jege graduate is not sufficient to attract the right kind of people as
employees that New York State taxpayers are entitled to. Grade 8 in
Btate service pays an annual salary equivalent to $1.54 per hour on
@ 2,000 hour work year,
‘We also pointed out a variety of grades in G-8 to G-17 now being
@pplicd to entrance leve) professional salaries. To prevent any mis-
wnderstanding we would like to state unequivocally that, first, the
genera! level of entrance professional salaries is entirely too low, and
second, it would be unrealistic to propose a single entrance level for
these types of jobs Into the State service,
Junior Insurance Examiner
Just as there are a variety of levels of entrance to the manual
fwade in the State service which depend on training and education
s well as work experience, so are there different requirements for
Jobs requiring professional training, To illustrate this point, let us ex-
amine the minimum job requirement for the position of junior in-
wurance examiner as announced this past September, which was placed
@ a nationwide basis. This position called for college graduation with
@ecialized education and two years of specialized work experience.
‘These requirements call for much more than @ raw college recruit can

College aduates Average $362 Per Month
According to the hnometer" of October, 1953, which ts a pub-
Beation of the Illinois Institute of Technology, “the average starting
galery of the 1053 June class of Diinois Tech reached an all-time high
@f $362 per month. The same article states this salary was an increase
@f $20 per month above the February class which had an average start-
bea salary of $342, $362 per month is $4,344 per year, This is the our-
ant average Ilinols Tech hiring rate, Last February the salary was
$342 which is $4,104 per year. Now let us look at the State wide of the
coin.
Grade 9 starts at $3,251, Grade II at $3,571, Grade 14 at $4,053.
All of these college graduates’ salaries are below the February Dlinois
salary which has since increased
salaries have stood still,
Area wage differentials will not account for such a great disparity
between the Illinois survey offers to New York State college graduates,
‘When one also considers that many entrance professional jobs in
State service call for specialized work experience, the significance of
the disparity increases.
Primary Consideration Is Salary
‘The position of junior insurance examiner in State service starts
The Kaplan Committee Js about
to submit a preliminary report te
Congress of its study of all Fed-
eral pension systems, and no doubt
it will include subjects classed as
controversial, One of these would
be the opening of the possibility
of Social Security coverage for
public employees who are members
of, or eligible to membership in, a
public employee retirement sys-
tem. Such employees are now ex~
cluded by Federal jaw, and one
may expect that the committee
will broach the subject of hberal-
ising the Jaw in that respect,
The advantage of having both
Social Security and public em-
about $240 per year while State
at $376, but when one places this salary against $362 quoted above
being offered and paid to a green college graduate, it is littie wonder
that the recent examination offer was made on a nationwide rather
than a. statewide basis in order to recruit. After all, the primary con-
sideration of a prospective employee is the salary, and no amount
of excuses of an increased Jabor market potential by making an ex-
amination nationwide can change this,
We have, plenty of large insurance companies in this State to
draw from if the State as employer competes in wages. Even when
made nationwide, only 92 applications were made, This proves that
the potential State employees are not exactly rushing to get a New
York State job,
Other Pay Rates
The “Technometer” article goes on to say: “Top average salaries
were off to architects at $399, followed by mechanical engineers at
$377; electrical engineers $371; industrial engineers $370; civil engi-
neers $367,”
Less the reader concludes that these levels apply only to technical
Professional personnel, pioase note that none of these specific salaries
are as low as the average of $362, Obviously, other lower paying jobs
have been included in the survey, but not listed in the news article.
The article siso contains some interesting historical wage data.
Fifteen years ago Dlinois Tech salaries started at $100 per month, 10
years ago at $169, five years ago at $265, If the State salaries 15 years
‘ago and now are compared, it will be seen how far behind State sala~
ries are now, especially compared to then,
ployee retirement coverage are
numerous and can be proved easily.
Reasons for objections to such
dual coverage for the same public
job have appeared in the past, but
have never sounded convincing te
me, Therefore I think the com- -
mittee will have to inform the
Public employees fully of all the
aspects of the subject, so the em-
ployees themselves can decide,
Once the majority of the member=
ship of an employee group comes
to a firm decision on such an im-
portant subject, it is unlikely that
any employee leaders would at-
tempt to commit their organiza-
tions to a contrary stand.
Spreading the good word is @
difficult task and requires expert
handling,
The committee no doubt started
out with the idea that the sole task
it had devolved about the tech-
nical aspects of pensions, but will
find that eventually the bigger
task ts to sell its ideas to those
who are to benefit, especially those
who for some strange reason have
strongly resisted all moves toward
such benefits in the past.

DELEGATES of the New York
City chapter, CSEA, reported on
the Albany convention before a
membership meeting held at

The chapter backed all succes:
ful candidates except those run-
ning for secretary and treasurer,
according to Max Lieberman, who
chaired the meeting in the absence
of chapter president Solomon
Bendet.
Delegate Frank Newman report~
ed that the chapter members had
been disturbed by some of the pro-
posed resolutions, such as the one
to give the Board of Directors full
wer to amend any chapter's by-
ws. Mr. Newman added that the
delegation had helped lead the
Dght to defeat these resolutions,
Henry Shemin cautioned the
mew members present against
thinking that the internal struggle
at Albany represented a source of
discord within the CSEA. “Every
organization has these routine
matters relating to tts own affairs”
he said, He pointed out that the
convention had also extended
democratic procedure by providing
for a vacancy on the Board of Di-
rectors to be filled according to a
regular system of succession,
rather than by appointment.

Specifications
For State
The following continues the
publication of new specifications
for State Jobs. It is part of the
first installment issued by the
State Civil Service Department.
Completion of the new specifica-
tions, covering all titles, is ex-
pected to take three years.
MAIL AND SUPPLY CLERK
SERIES
Mail Nes Supply Helper, Labor,
Grade 1.
Mail and Supply Clerk, Grade 2,
Senior Mail and Supply Clerk,
Grade 6,
Principal Mail and Supply Clerk,
Grade 10.
Head Mail and Supply Clerk,
Grade 15.
These employees provide mess-
enger, mail room, supply, storage
and sometimes mimeograph, repro-
duction and other general services
for a department or agency. Re-
current manual work — delivering
packages, moving furniture, etc, —
is expected of positions in the
series.
Factors considered in distin-
guishing between grades in this
series include variety of services
performed or supervised, volume of
mail and of supplies, number of
subordinates, seasonal peak in
workload, operation of office ma-
chines, and difficulty of sorting
operation.
Mail and supply helper picks up
and delivers messages, mail, inter-
office material, supplies, publica-
tions, packages and similar ma-
terial for distribution to or from
State offices and agencies. Manual
work includes moving desks, office
machines and other furniture,
wrapping and unwrapping parcels,
opening crates and delivering
packages, Employees may
assist in sorting mail and mess-
ages, and often operate office ma-
chines such as the mimeograph,
addressograph or envelope slitter,

Standards and Purchase, receiving
and storing supplies, filling requist~
tions and keeping perpetual inven-
tory; operating postage meters
and other office machines such as
mimeograph and addressograph.
filling requests for forms and pub:
Ucations, Although much of the
work is the same as that of Mail
and Supply Helper, the Grade 2
ition is distinguished from the
lelper by the presence of more
clerical and less manual or mess-
enger work — computing parcel
Post rates, maintaining inventory
and registered mail records are
typical of these positions but not
of Helpers. Mail and Supply Clerks
sometime supervise Helpers. Quali-
fications: Appointments are made

believe the long working hours and
low pay are the reasons New York
State has been unable to recruit
enough prison guards. The stiff
experience and educational re-
quirements for the jobs, and the
responsible duties are deterents,
too. State prison guards run shops
im the prison, teach in prison,
schools and, at times, have hun-
dreds of inmates under their
immediate supervision. Pay is
$4,212, Guards must buy their own
untforms, They work seven days
