U. S. Defense Agencies to ‘Raid’
Non-Defense Units for Employees
WASHINGTON. — Defense
agencies to get priorities on Fed-
erql employees! That's in the
works and make no mistake
about it.
The LEADER revealed weeks
ago that the plan was under con-
sideration and just a few days
ago a copy of a proposed execu-
tive order was sent to the Coun-
cil of Personnel Administration
for study and recommendations.
The purpose of the order was to

Training
(Continued from preceding 1s-
sue),
‘The courses discussed below and
in last week's issue are in service
(raining courses, available to em~
ployees of the War Department.
Administrative and Supervisory
Personnel, Some of the services
of the War Department have
conducted training programs for
administrators and supervisors,
As examples of this, the Quarters
master Corps, in connection with
expanded needs for the defense
gram, trained more than 50
administrative assistants who
y have charge of administra
tive work In new military estab-
lishments. The Ordnance Des
partment trained 10 men in ad«
ministrative procedures at each
of the six manufacturing arsenals
for a period of four months,
These men- were available for
work at other ordnance estab-
lishments after being trained. Su-
srvisory training is being care
on for supervisors at the
snufacturing arsenals, The Air
ovps is starting an administra-
tive training program at McClel-
lan Field, Sacramento, California,
Other employees: ‘Training for
clerks and stenographers is being
carried on in the Washington
office and reported from 23 dif-
ferent field establishments, Train-
ing also has been reported for
custodial messengers from four
different field establishments.
In addition to these programs,
the War Department is cooperat-
ing with the Office of Education
and the National Youth Admin-
istration in the development of
Pre-employment and in-service
courses for its employees. Such
courses are being given at voca-
onal schools, colleges, univer-
sities, or in the military estab-
lishment at which the employees

They Aren’t
ClockWatchers
Federal employees aren't “time
servers” and “clock watchers”
wh6 are “living off the taxpayers
at fat salaries,”
Luther C. Steward, president
of the National Federation of
Federal Employees, last week
entered indignant objection to
such charges, Said he: “The un-
fairness of the criticism is better
understood when it is borne :m
mind that in Washington and in
the field, Federal employees are
Working hundreds of thousands
of hours overtime without either
additional compensation or com-
Pensatory overtime,”
permit defense agencies legally
to raid non-defense agencies for
workers,
It's known, too, that the Council,
which Is composed of personnel
directors in the various federal
agencies, will approve the pro-
posed order, It may be another
month before the order becomes
effective, but you can be sure it
will soon be the law of the land,
Now what will this mean to the
Federal service? Very briefly, the
answer js; a mass shifting of em-
ployees from one job to another.
You know, of course, that an
employee today isn’t permitted to
transfer without the consent of
the agency in which he is work-
ing. If he quits, he must wait 90
days before he can be re-hired.
The effect of this regulation is
to deny defense agencies, where
the pressure {8 greatest, less oa-
pable and experienced employees,
To correct this, the order pro-
poses:
1. That bona fide defense agen-
cles be given authority to take
over the personnel of nen-defense
agencies,
2, That the employees who are
transferred be guaranteed their
old jobs or similar ones after the
emergency, This would work in
the same fashion as the Selective
Service Act: When an employee
{s drafted from the Government
service Uncle Sam promises him
his old job on his return.
Non-Defense Budgets Cut
3. Meantime, the Budget Bureau
1s going over the budgets of non-
defense agencies and re-capturing
some of the appropriations that
Congress made for the current
year. By taking away the funds
of these agencies, it means that
they won't be able to fill all the
vacancies and which means
they'll lose much of their effec
tiveness. In other words, it’s all
out for defense in Washington to-
day and many of the old-line
functions are being displaced tor

Employment in U.S.Law Work
Just How Does a Lawyer Go About Getting a Gov't Job?
WASHINGTON—By virtue of
the Ramspeck Act and Executive
Order No. 8743 of April 23,
1941, practically all legal posi-
tions in the executtve civil service
have been placed under the clas-
sified civil service. By the above
Executive Order the President, in
line with one of the recommenda-
tions made by a special commit-
tee which had been studying the
question of legal employment in
the Government service, estab-
lished a special Board of Legal
Examiners under the chairman-
ship of the Solicitor General of
This Board
will have jurisdiction over the en-
tire program of recruiting, exam-
ining, and appointing Govern-
ment lawyers. The Board’s mem-
bership has only recently been
anounced, and there has not been
time for it to fully develop oper-
ating procedure,
Although details are not known
at the present time, the program
generally will be as follows: The
board will direct the preparation
of registers of eligibles for use
in filling vacancies in the Gov-
ernment service, such registers to
be established at the earliest pos-
sible date. Many procedural
steps are required, however, and
it 1s unlikely that such registers
can be ready for use for some
time. At the time examinations
are to be held, appropriate an-
nouncements will be prepared
and given publicity,
Employing Officers Must Employ
In the interim, before establish-
ment of registers, the initiative in
effecting appointments to attor-
ney or legal trainee positions will
have to be assumed by the indi-
vidual employing offices of the
Government. By the terms of the
Executive Order of April 23, 1941,
persons appointed to attorney po-
sitions who successfully pass —
non-competitive test may later,
upon completing six months’ sat-
{sfactory service, acquire perma-
nent Civil Service status. Action
looking toward such interim ap-
pointments, pending establish-
ment of registers will, as hereto-
fore stated, have to be initiated by
the particular agency of the Gov-
ernment desiring to fill the va-
cancy.
‘Trainee Positions
‘The procedure outlined in the
foregoing paragragh is also ap-
plicable to legal trainee positions.
By the terms of a regulation
adopted by the Board of Legal
Examiners, persons who have re-
ceived a law degree but have not
been admitted to the Bar will be
eligible for appointment to such
positions; however, appointments
to legal trainee positions will be
made subject to the condition that
the appointees obtain admission
to the Bar within eighteen months
of the date of their appointment.
Name Put on List
The Civil Service Commission is
now maintaining a list which,
upon request, will be made ayail-
able to appointing officers in Gov-
ernment agencies for use in fill-
ing interim appointments pending
the establishment of registers. It
should be noted that the employ-
ing officers in the several Govern-
ment agencies are not required to
use this list in making these in-
terim appointments. Those who
wish to be included on this should
fill out the Commission's applica-
tlon Form 3214 and send it to the
Civil Service Commisison.marked
for the attention of Principal Le
gal Examiner, The communica-
tions should set forth fully the
education and training of the per-
sons desiring to be considered. Tt
would be desirable to include such
information as age, schools at-
tended, degrees recelved,
curricular activities In law school,
any specialization in the legal
field, either in training or prac-
tice. Candidates who are recent
graduates should submit some in-
formation as to grades received,
preferably a transcript of law
school credits, They should also
indicate thelr relative standing in
their law school class and a state-
ment as to whether or not they
have been admitted to the Bar,
The names of persona who can
supply authoritative information
as to character, legal training, or
professtonal accomplish-
ments should also be Included.
Persons on the list so established
will receive notification of exam-
ination which may be-forthcoming
at a later date.
‘The Commission does not have in-
formation concerning the number
of vacancies, which are now cur-
rent or likely to occur, in legal
positions in the several Govern-
ment departments.

eight months.
The committee, The LEADER
believes, will approve this res
quest. In fact, it really doesn’t
make much difference if the r¢
quest Is slashed by the commit
tea. The departments a
cies are legally bound to raise
the salaries of their eligible em-
Ployees and if they run out of
money they will have to go hack

Public Careers for Young People
College Dean “Outlines a Program of Large Scope
‘The development of an exten-
sive curriculum in public admin-
istration to prepare young men
and women for careers in various
fields of government service was
yecommended last week to the
faculty of the City College School
of Business and Civie Administra~
tion by Dean Herman Feldman.
Dean Feldman’s report, entitled
“Present Problems and a Pro-
posed Program” and running to
140 closely-packed pages, outlines
a program of suggested changes
for the next ten years in such
matters as housing, development
of facilities, student relations,
faculty growth, curriculum, and
community. relations,
t in Clvil Service Grows
Inters
“Until almost a decade ago,’
Dean Feldman writes in one sec-
of
tion the report, ‘‘college
were not particularly
sted in civil service employ-
ment, and conversely, the num-
ber of positions open to them was
ment requiring trained personnel
and a marked difference in the
attitude of college graduates to-
ward opportunities in public ser-
vice, College ,students have of
their own accord been looking
increasingly at the possibilities of
entering the government service.”
The report indicates several
possible methods of meeting the
demand for specialized training
in public administration, These
include setting up an autonomous
unit of the four city colleges to
administer the courses; expand-
ing the course of study already
offered at the School of Business
with the College’s present Divi-
sion of Public Service ‘Training
acting av a coordinating agency,
and introducing a curriculum
leading to a master's degree in
public administration,
It’s No Longer Limited
“Government posittons are not,
as some people still think,” he
commented, ‘a limited group of
occupations, for they embrace al-
most every kind of work done in
private business, Preparation for
tions open in the Federal ser-
vice, in the State, and in the city
impose different requirements on
the candidates, there is an in-
creasing amount of — subject
matter which may be considered
the common core of professional
background for any government
post. On the other hand, an
ever-growing need in civic posts
for special training of a technical
sort, such as accountancy or
statistics, means that proficiency
in such courses permits entry
into private industry as well as
to public service and thus yields
needed alternatives in securing
employment.”
Students Get Extra Credit

: New Fireman List Won’t
Kill the Old One
Publication of the new firemy
eligible list will not be aff Aed
by the recent decision o1 the
Civil Service Commission to
promulgate lists as soon as they
are published, according to
Wallace Sayre, Civil Service Com-
missioner.
This should be good news for
eligibles on both the old and the
new fireman lists, It is good
news for cligibles on the existing
list because it means that
publication of the new fireman
list will not automatically kill the
old list, It is good news for eli-
gibles on the new list because it
means that the new list will be
released for publication before
the old list expires.
Working On Questionnaire
The examining division of the
Civil Service Commission was
still working on the rating of the
second questionnaire as “The
LEADER went to press, This
rating is expected to be com-
pleted some time this week, ‘The
completion of the extra-credit rat-

Commission to go ahead and pub-
lish the list. As soon as the list
is released for publication, it will,
of course, be printed in The

leased within two weeks,
Meanwhile eligibles on the old
list are making a last-minute
fight for appointments, Council-
man Hugh Quinn, chairman of
the special committee to investi-
gate the delay in filling fire
vacancies, will submit his report
to the City Council at the next
meeting of the council, Quinn is

‘The list to be established as a
result of the coming examination
will be divided into two parts.
The first part which will prob-
ably consist of 1,200 names will be
used for the Police Department
exclusively, The second part of the
list will be for the title of spe-
cial patrolman, Special patrolmen
are employed in suoh city depart-
ments as the Board of Transpor-
tation, the Board of Water Sup-

and the New York City Tunnel
Authority, Correction officers in
the city penal institutions are also
hired from the special patrolman
list.
On the Iast examination, candi-

better on the mental test, were
placed on a third list called the
P.D, No, 3 list, This list was es-
tablished for the use of the Police

have been offered jobs as inves

Queens Career Man
Gets Pleasant Surprise
Forty-one years is a long time

Richard Ankener of the Depart-

Electricity was pleasantly
minded of his forty-one years of
service when William J. Laase,
borough engineer, stepped into his
office and, on behalf of employees
in the department, presented him
with a gold badge of office.
The popular head of the
DWSGE in Queens, who lives at
32-53 42nd Street, Astoria, entered
the city service November 13,
1900, as a rodman. Less than two
years later, October 1, 1903, he
advanced to the title of transit-

For Sheriff Filing
With 1,000 candidates
pected for each of the coming
tests for city-wide sheriff and

to expand the job opportunities
for those who make the lists, The
top two jobs will probrbly be
filled at $7,500 each, In addi-
tion, at least two deputy jobs are
expected from each list, paying
$6,000 in the sheriff's office and
$5,000 in the register's office.
Meanwhile the Budget Dire

2, They may sue to enjoin the

City May Issue Call for More
Office Machine Operators
A strong possibility that more
office appliance operator exam-
inations will be announced by the
Municipal Civil ice Commi
sion in 1942 exisi se of the
low number of candidates who
have filed for the four tests an-
nounced in October, A total of
only 508 candidates filed spplica-
tions for the four options dur-
ing the three-week filing period.
The number of candidates who
have filed for the particular op-
tions follows: IBM Alphabetic
Accounting machine, 82; TBM
Numeric Punch machine, 255;
IBM Numeric Accounting mach-
ine, 52; Remington Rand Powers
Key Punch machine, 114,
Biggest handicap to prospective
candidates was the fact that only
operators with one year's experi-
ence were able to file applica~
tions, ‘The announcement read
that ‘candidates had to have at
least one year of experience or
one year of formal training in a
school accredited by the Univer-
sity of the State of New York."
After the applications were 1s-
sued, it was discovered that busi-
ness vchools which teach these
machines are licensed by the
State of New York but, because
of the short period of time it
takes to teach the operation of
these machines to students, are
not accredited by the Board of
Regents, Schools which are ac-
credited by the Board of Regents,
such as high schools and colleges,
do not have courses which teach
the operation of the machines in-
volved, E
Requirements Will Be Changed
The education requirements will
be changed when the new tests
announced, The LEADER has
learned from unimpeachable
sources, However, the exact re-
quirements will not be known un-
til the tests are officially an-
nounced by the Civil Service Com-

could obtain a loan of $1,000 from
banks with personal loan depart-
ments. Upon the payment of a
two-dollar fee to the Comptrol-
ler's office by the employees, the
bank would obtain the employee's
record from the garnishee division
of the Comptroller's office. ‘The
employee would then be asked by
the bank to furnish statements
from his creditors as to the
amount needed to pay off his
debts, The amount needed for the
employee would then be decided
by the bank and the employee.
With the approval of the em-
ployee's department head, the
employee's wages would then be
assigned to the bank, The em-
ployee and the bank would de-
cide on the amount the bank was
to take each payday and the
amount of his salary the bank
was to return to the employee.
Banks Won't Go Along
Principal snag in the plan is the
reluctance on the part of the
banks to go along with the idea,
Many banks which have original-
ly indicated a willingness to
enter the scheme have since
changed their minds. They have
adopted a policy of watchful,
waiting. They intend to wait and
see how the bank which is oper-
ating the plan in cooperation
with the PBA makes out.
Employees of the Comptroller's
office state that between 100 and
200 city employees in debt have
visited’ the Garnishee division,
room 815, in the Comptroller's of-
fice for information about the
plan in the past two weeks, The
garnishee division refers the em-
ployee immediately to his own
bank. If his own bank is willing
to go in with the scheme, all well
and good.
Although the plan, as proposed,
1s excellent for the unfortunate
employee who becomes indebted
to small loan companies which
charge high rates of interest,
through cireumstances beyond
his control, one authority who
claims familiarity with the bor-
rowing habits of city employees
thinks that the idea will have an
adverse affect on the type of em
ployee who becomes indebted
through carelessness. “It will
just give him” another oppor
tunity to get in trouble,” they
‘The idea for some such plan to
alleviate the condition of em-
ployees in debt originated with
Patrick Harnedy, president of the
Patrolmen’s Benevolent Associa-
tion, Harnedy proposed it to the
Comptroller's office, and for a
while it appeared that the plan
would go through, The present

ENGINEERING
TITLES IN
STATE OF FLUX
On the recommendation of op,
engineering examiner, g,
Mosher, the New York City oii
Service Commission denied 4 \_!
quest of the Department of p.°.
Me Works to reclassify 22 hip).
salaried engineering employees i,
titles above their present salar
grades. Mr. Mosher pointed ou,
that under the terms of the now
engineering and architectural gop.
vice, employees with the titles of
assistant engineer, engineer, ang
structural designer may receiyg
higher titles without examination
as soon as they are given the
minimum salary that belonge to
the higher title, The Advisory
Committee on Reclassification
concurred unanimously with Mr,
Mosher's opinion.
At its same meeting the Com.
mission approved a recommenda.
tion by Mr. Mosher that the list
for assistant engineer, grade 4, be
certified selectively for vacancies

grade 4, Board of Water Supply

ing.
The reason for this selective
certification is that several ex.
aminationg in the past have failed
to produce a sufficient number of
qualified eligibles to replace pro-
visionals in the title. Those who
ave qualified apparently refuse to
take the examinations because of
the low galary, $3,120. At present
there are 39 provisionals employed

Award Winners Get Extra Credit
Sanitation Metals and Certificates Give Them Points Toward Promotion
Last week, on the steps of
City Hall, to the accompaniment
of speechmaking by the Mayor
and the playing of “Strawberry
Blonde,” 115 sanitation men were
rewarded for “conspicuous acts of
bravery and meritorious service.”
They came from every borough,
and their names sounded like a
roster of the ingredients that go
to make up America: Piazza,
Scher, Brown, Geaslin, Jakobsen,
McCormack, There was even &
women among them, Stella Baker,
telephone operator in the main
office, who received a certificate
of commendation.
Orated proud Commission Wil-
liam F. Carey of his brave staffr
“In the presence of these
herves of the Department of
Sanitation every citizen of New
York may well feel grateful.’
5 Get Medals
While 110 men were awarded
certificates, only five attained
the eminence of a Medal of Valor.
They are James Guarnieri, Dis-
trict 48, Brooklyn; Vincenzo
Sorice, District 45, Brooklyn;
Howard Sargent, Training
School; Anthony J. Giarratano,
District 1, Manhattan; James J.
Riazo, District 58, Queens.
For Guarnieri and Sorice there
was a single citation,
It read: ‘They noticed smoke
coming from the back of the
house at 240 Snediker avenue,
Brooklyn, As they ran into the
building, a woman rushed out
screaming hysterically that her
baby was inside, The two men
found that flames had almost
completely enveloped the rear
hall and stairway. They groped
thelr way through the acrid
smoke-filled corridor —_ scarcely
able to see more than a foot
ahead of them. ‘They succeeded
in locating the baby who had
been left sleeping in the carriage,
snatched the infant from impend-
ing death and carried her to
safety. They then returned and
assisted the remaining tenants
from the flaming premises.”’
Saves Man From Drownin
Of Howard Sargent, It was said
that “while instructing a group
of employees in the operation of
snow removal equipment at 22nd
street and Kast River Pier,
Howard Sargeant noticed a head
bobbing in the Hast River, Fully
clad, he dived out of the class-
room window Into the oil-coated,
joy water and swam out one
block south to 2ist street to
reach the drowning man, There
was a tussle in the water as
Sargent was pulled down by the
struggling man, After subduing
him, Sargent brought this man
to the pler in safety, In the pe!
formance of this act, he injured
both knees but returned to duty.
Anthony J. Glarratano received
his medal because he acted with
speed and coolness in emergency:
“On April 11, last,.Anthony saw
flames emanating from the win-
dows of a four-story building at
420 Greenwich street. After
turning in a fire alarm, he
rushed into the burning building
and warned all tenants to leave
immediately. Upon reaching th
third floor, he found an 81-yeai
old woman in a dazed condition,
wandering in the smoke-filled
corridor. Giarratano swept her
up in his arms and carried her to
safety. Again he returned and
found a 200-pound woman group-
ing through the smoke, unable to
find the stairway. He picked her
up and carried her to the street.
There he collapsed from smoke
poisoning and was removed to the
hospital.’

This is an illustration of the famed coordination test, which the
Municipal Civil Service Commission utilized in the sanitation
and fire exams, but which will probably count for far less in the
coming test for patrolman. Examiners of the Commission con-
sider the coordinatin test tg be still in the experimental stage
and they prefer to do more work with this particular test before
Jetting it take an important part in physical exams.
Court of Appeals Takes Up
Three Big CivilService Cases
With the Court of Appe:
convened in Albany since
day, the eyes of the Civil Service
world are focussed on three im-
portant cases. Decisions are ex-
pected later this week,
McCann Case—This seeks to de-
termine the constitutionality of
the Hampton Law, passed at the
last session of the State Legisla-
ture. This law would keep pro-
visional veteran relief investiga-
tors on the job without forcing
them to take competitive exam-
inations, It has particular bear-
ing on the situation In New York

sence, and Lillian Sorka, typist,
who was granted a leave from
September 10, 1941 to Abgust 31,
1942,
At its meeting last week, the
Civil Service Commission reserved
decision on the request of the
Borough President of Richmond
to approve the continued pro-
visional employment of asphalt
foreman George J. Nagel at $8.60
per day and asphalt worker Domi-
nick Orlando at $6.72 per day un-
til such time as the budget direc-
tor grants permission to fill these
positions permanently.
Rawlins E. Clarke, 406 on the
eligible Ist for sanitation man
has passed his medical examina-
tion and was\certified to the De-
partment of Sanitation for the po-
sition of Junior Sanitation Man

What the Well-Dressed
Auto Examiner Will Wear
What will the prospective motor
vehicle license examiner wear?
And what kind of hours does he
put in? Many of those who plan
to take the test want to know the
answers to these questions. Here
they are:
Uniform
A regulation uniform has been
adopted by the Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles which is to be
worn by examiners while on duty,
except when otherwise ordered by
the Deputy Commissioner in
charge, the District Tax Super-
visor, or the Supervising Motor
Vehicle License Examiner.
The uniform adopted for the
metropolitan and Long Island
districts consists of a jacket,
West Point poplin shirt, long
trousers, tan shoes, brown knit-
ted tie, Sam Browne belt, and
Pershing cap.
Phe regulation uniform for ex-
aminers in the Up-State districts
is the same as the above, except
that from November 15 to March
1 examiners in these districts are
permitted to wear brown breeches
and brown puttees if they so
deem fit. Boots, high-laced shoes
and similar footwear are not per-
mitted,
Serge uniforms are permitted
during summer months to super-
cede the whip-cord where so de-
sired by the examiner,
Overcoat
‘The regulation overcoat for the
metropolitan and Long Island dis-
tricts is the gabardine as speci-
fied by the Commissioner of Mo-
tor Vehicles in December, 1937.
For the Up-State districts, the
eheepskin coat standardized by
the Commissidner at the same

Must Go to School
ALBANY~—If both children and
their teachers are required to go
to school, the latter for promo-
tions and greater remuneration,
why not school superintendents?
That's what the State Education
Department asked itself, and the
answer was ‘why not?
As a result, New York State for
the first time will soon conduct a
three-day school for district
school superintendents, it was an-
nounced by Dr, Edwin R, Van

70 Choice Positions in New Motor
Unit Being Filled by Interview
ALBANY—Two State depart-
ments—Civil Service and Taxa-
tion—are cooperating in a wholly
new venture in the selection of
provisional appointees for more
than 70 choice jobs in the Motor
Vehicle Financial Responsibility
Unit which opens January 1. 5
For the first time in the his-
tory of selecting personnel in any
department, a representative of
the Civil Service Department is
participating with a department
head in the interview of pros-
pective provisional appointees.
Test in DPUI
A promotion exara to assistant
stenographer in the Division of
Placement and Unemployed In-
surance has just been announced
by the State Civil Service Com-
mission. The short filing period,
ends Saturday.
To qualify, candidates must
have served at least six months
in the competitive class in the
DPUI, and must have had one
year’s stenographic experience. A
fee of $1 is charged, with $1,200-
$1,700 the salary range.
Miss Grace A. Reavy, president
of the Civil Service Commission,
and Mark Graves, president of
the State Tax Commission, of
which the new bureau will be a
unit, declared that the coopera-
tive method they have invoked
in choosing appointees is un-
precented.
The Background
Here, briefly, is the back-
ground:
The new bureau, created by
virtue of the Page-Anderson auto
insurance law applicable to some
3,000,000 vehicles registered an-
nually in this state, will go into
effect January 1. It will soon
thereafter have a personnel of
475 employees. According to Com-
missioner Graves, there will be
but one exempt job—that of the
State Director, to which post
Bernard J. Culloton already has
been appointed. The bulk of the
employees will come off existing
clerical, stenographic, accounting
and similar lists.
But there will pe something
over 70 positions paying from
$2,100 a year up. These will uv
titled thus: 21 adjudicators—
persons qualified to act in a
semijudicial capacity in settling
disputes reaching them over
damage appraisals; 30 damages
evaluators; nine senior damages
evaluators, and three principal
damages evaluators. These will
be spread around the state, ap-
proximately half to be assigned
to New York City.
For these positions literally
scores of applications already
have been filed. The applicants
are seeking provisional appoint-
ments pending subsequent written
and oral examinations, specifica-
tions of which are pretty well
settled but not definitely defined.
1,000 Claims Dally
Commissioner Graves estimates
that the new bureau may be
called upon to handle as many
as 1,000 claims daily between
motorists whose cars are involved
in traffic mishaps. It is prob-
able that the provisional evalu-
ators will be appointed first,
about December 1, while appoint-
ment of the adjudicators will
come around December 15. The
classification bureau is busy now
setting up grades. Commissioner
Graves and Motor Vehicle Bureau
Commissioner Carroll E. Mealey,
faced with the task of putting a
bureau into high gear éoincident
with the effective date of the
law, decided to cut some corners
in putting their key personnel to-
gether,
So the Tax Department went to
the Civil Service Departmeit.
Miss Reavy designated O.K.
Weaver, who has charge of all
accountants examinations, to sit
in with Commissioner
Commissioner Mealey,
sioner Culloton and Miss Hazel
A. Ford, administrative assist-
ant, in interviewing applicants
in New York City and Albany on
certain fixed days. Mr. Weaver
passes upon the qualifications of
the applicants, Those unable to
meet the essentials prescribed by
the two departments are there-
after automatically barred even
from participating in the final ex-
aminations,
Commissioner Graves, who has
personally interviewed most of
the applicants who have thus far
been given a hearing, said
“I shall make no provisional
appointments, I shall appoint no
man who can't qualify for the ex-
amination. I shall appoint only
those men who I am convinced
will subsequently pass a good ex-
amination—who will be in the
money, so to speak,
I don’t want provisionals who
may not pass at all or who may
pass but will not be high enough
on the list to be reached.”
Others to Follow
Miss Reavy said the method of
weeding out the provisional list
is ‘a great step forward in at-
taining new efficiency.’ She
said she believed that other de-
partments, faced with similar
problems, might find it advan-
tageous to follow this example.
The disclosure that the two de-
partments are working so closely
to achieve the utmost in qualified
personnel was interpreted at tha
Capitol as heading off wholesale
appointments on a __ political
patronage basis, Stories have
been current that the jobs would
be split between Republicans and
Democrats on an inter-party
“understanding.”
Plans State Pay-Raise Bill
Legislator Calls for Flat 10 Percent Increase
At least one bill to raise the
salaries of State employees will
be introduced in the State Legis-
lature when it reconvenes in Jan-
uary. Senator Phelps Phelps,
Manhatan Democrat, announced
this week that he plans to spon-
sor such legislation during the
very first week of the new ses-
sion.
Details of the proposed bill: It
will call for a flat 10 per cent in-
crease for all State employees
earning between $720 and $2,000.
Senator Phelps estimates that

of DPUI in Aibany:

‘As the first function of a publio

employment service should be to
bring about an orderly labor mar-
ket, thought was then given to
specialization and centralization.
‘The Resort Unit was set up on @
temporary basis, and proved that
the special problems of a particular
industry could be solved when
handled by a specialized organiza-
tion. The Sales Unit, established
in the fall of 1939, proved the same
point, and the further point that
service to employers means service
to_workers.
‘The present organization separates
the insurance from the placement
functions. We are moving toward
further specialization. ‘The

and skills after the present
sency.
Further summaries next week,
35,000 State employees are to be
covered, approximately 76 per
cent of the total.
“The substantial but hardly un-
reasonable elevation of pay pro-
vided in this bill will help to
modify the discomforts that must
attend the persistent rise in
prices," Senator Phel ps ex-
plained. He continued:
“The drain of present day liv-
ing costs supplementing the toll
of taxes in all forms means noth-
ing if not a reduction in the pay
checks of the small earner. This
10 per cent salary increase will
help but hardly cover the un-
anticipated exactions of this
abnormal period of price eleva-
tion. The bill is so framed as to
remain in effect only during this
emergency.
vss certain effect of such a
considerate enactment would be
to create a spirit of contentment
among the small-salaried State
workers, a peace of mind that, in
my opinion, would not only
stimulate a greater devotion to
their jobs, but would nullify the
influence of the malcontents who
recently voted in convention in
favor of strikes against the State
and its municipalities to enforce
any type of demand.
“Surely, the enactment of this
bill would act directly to
frustrate and defeat the efforts
of promoters of discontent by
creating a consciousness among
.the predominantly conservative
majority of State workers that
their interests and needs are a
matter of concern in the legis-
lature.”"

been extended to November 28. It
is confidently expected that the

A Problem of
Demotion
Last week in discussing the new
Halpern Discipline Act, which ex-
tends the type of discipline fac-
ing State employees as well as
providing an appeals mechanism,
we outlined the prospective pay-
roll procedure following removal,
suspension, or demotion.
Here is a problem raised by de-
motion that is puzzling State of-
ficials:
Employee A was a junior clerk
for_one year. He was then pro-
moted to assistant clerk, After
holding the position of assistant
clerk for one he is found
to be unsatisfactory and is to ba
demoted.
Under
year,
the procedure outlined
last week, he would he demoted
nearly
eres
to an item which most
pays $1,100 ($900 plus one
ment as a junior and one in
ment for the year's service as an
assistant).
The clerical office organization
1s as follows:
Assistant Clerk ($1,300) Em-
ployee — One junior at $990
(illed); one junior at $1,000
(filled); one junior at $1,000
(illea).
No promotion list is in ex
istcuce and the exact date that
it will be established is not
known, Therefore, it is not
known whether the assistant will
finally be demoted against the
$900, $1,000 or $1,100 item,
The question arises as to how
Employee A is going to be de
moted before a Junior Clerk is
made available through the pro-
motion of one of the Junior
Clerks.
In succeeding issues we will
discuss further personnel prob
lems arising from application of
the Halpern Act,

play a decisive role in helping to
decide the future air war, par-

necessary to fly at great altitudes
or in rough weather, It was also
pointed out that a nation

every yital instrument, then and
only then, can they bring @
battle to a successful conclusion.

Stephen Bass, admin-

Aircraft Instrument School, it 4s
unnecessary for a man to have
any previous training or knowl
edge of aircraft instruments, The
only requirement is for a man to
take a two or four month course,
day or evening; in this way he 1s
practically assured a high pay
position from the very day that
he graduates, as the school main-

A New Attendant List
™, ig The LEADER these
O ONE who has been rea
past few months can be much surprised at the an-
nouncement of a new State hospital attendant ex-
am.the third in 18 months. Lists with the names of
thousands of eligibles are exhausted in veritably no time
at all, Why?
Ss, with
With employments reaching new pec
levels and living costs on the increase, it is no wonder
that a job paying $54 @ month and maintenance finds few
takers, Add in the tales of unattractive working condi-
tions outlined by the employees themselves and printed
in the columns of The LEADER, it's simple to under-
search for attend-
stand why the State is frantic in
ants,
We don't believe we're unduly pessimistic in pre-
dicting that the fate of the list to be established
as a result of the December 20th examination will be at
least as sad as that of its predecessors. Several thousand
will file, there will be but a handful of failures, a long
list will be established...
The simple truth is that New York State is fooling
and the jobs will go begging.
itself, for the patients in its hospitals suffer from in-
adequate, unsympathetic care. It costs a good deal of
money to hold an exam of this kind, and nothing much
can come of it, We hear talk meanwhile of open regis-
ters; where prospective attendants can take exams at
regular intervals, and get jobs promptly if they pass.
Th
ekirt the main issue, Until New York State is willing
e are not even half-measures, They completely
to pay its Attendants a decent wage, one that compares
with salaries for other work, the situation cannot change.
In last week's issue we published a letter from the
t Director on the survey of positions in the Mental
ne institution now under The purpose of this
rvey is to determine if these jobs can be brought un-
the Feld-Hamilton career law. We earnestly hope
that the attendant job will be brought out into the light
rs a result of this survey and subsequent legislation.
Some months ago we dubbed the situation The Hos-
pital Attendant Mess. Th

Pay Rai:
- HEN are those salary raises coming through?
W Almost every official you talk to realizes—at
least he says so—the necessity of doing some-
ng to bring the salaries of goyernment employees in
ne with rising prices. But there’s certainly no great
rush about it.
Action is needed—action to put those lovely official
words into effect. Civil Service employees have every
right to insist on it
Fate of 11-Squad Bill
HAT is to be the fate of the 11-squad bill? This
W:
bill, which would modernize the working cgndi-
s of New York City’s cops, is now tied up
in the Board of Estimate. The LEADER learns, un-
officially, that the bill is destined for defeat.
This outcome would be disastrous. The cops have
fought for the 11-squad bill long. They, and those who
ave fought with them, won't give up now.
It would be wisdom on the part of the Board of Esti-
nate not to hinder the normal development of this large
group of city employees. This is 1941, gentlemen.

IN THE LITTLE GREEN BOOK
that lists the entire official family
of the City of New York, you will
find the name of Reuben A, La-
zarus in three different places,
He's assistant to the President of
the City Council, member of the
Board of Higher Education, counsel
to the Board of Statutory Con-
solidation,
That's quite a record for a lad
who had to leaye school after the
fifth grade to support a widowed
mother, who didn’t become a
lawyer until he was over 35 and
already @ recognized authority on
matters legal, But those who know
Rube Lazarus—and that means
every political figure of any coi
quence in all parties in New York
City and Albany for a generation—
are no longer surprised at records
from him,
Two of New York City’s most as-
tute leaders—Alfred E, Smith and
Fiorello H, LaGuardia—have relied
on the judgment of the keen-eyed
little fellow who was born on the
lower East Side 46 years ago.
Smith Started Him
It was Governor Smith who start-
ed Rube on his legislative career
by appointing him a page in the
Legislature back in 1912, Next step
was a job in the office of Supreme
Court Justice Edward J. McGold-
rick, then an assistant corporation
counsel assigned to Albany. Soo@
Rube was chief clerk of the legis-
lative division,
Governor Smith continued to
watch the lad to whom he had
once offered a helping hand , , ,
then began to depend on his abilit
One day it occurred to Smith that
Rube, who helped make the law for
millions of citizens of New York
State, wasn’t even a lawyer,
“You've been my constitutional
lawyer for years," declared thg
Governor, ‘‘when the fact is you'rg
not even a member of the Bai!
Something has to be done about
that.” Smith called in Associais
Justice Cuthbert W, Pound of the
Court of Appeals.
“Oh, yes," Pound exclaimed, “1
know Mr, Lazarus, the assistant
corporation counsel for New York
City,
‘That's just it!" exploded Smith,
“He ain't! But he ought to be,
What can be done about making
him a lawyer?””
The protesting Lazarus, who
sought no favors, was tutored for
his regents. Formal college en.
trance requirements were waived so
that he could take courses needed
for admission to Jaw school. Rul
had to sandwich studies in betwevn
Albany duties, Not infrequer
he had to explain an absense
teacher on the ground that he \

the State, But he passed both col.

ors, then was admitted to the Par

Fusion administration that was
swept into office by the Walker

When the Legislature reconvencs

Sirs: Knowing that your paper

It seems that certain groups of

low-paid labor class employees,
they were completely ignored or

and rendered long, effi-
nd faithful service to the
city, don't you think that this

Commission does not release its

When a Position
Becomes Competitive
J.F.; The so-called "three-year=
rule’ you refer to was the pro-
vision in Section 14 of the Civil
Service Law authorizing a trans-
fer of a person to a similar com-
petitive position without examina-
tion where the employee had
served for three years in the for=
mer position without his having
passed a competitive test when
he was appointed to the original
position, This provision of the
civil service law was repealed by
the legislature in the 1941 ses-
sion, ‘The elimination of that.
provision does not mean that an
employee serving in an exempt
or non-competitive position which
is later reclassified as competitive
may not continue to hold his po-
sition after it becomes competi-
tive, He need not take a test
to continue in his position, The
“three-year-rule’ had nothing to
do with such reclassifications in
any event,
Exempt and
Non-Competitive
D.F.: The primary distinction
between an exempt and a non-
competitive position is that in the
exempt class position a head of
department has an unrestricted |
right to appoint anyone he
pleases, The Civil Service Com-
mission has no authority to re
ject the appointee or to require
him to submit to any kind of ex
amination, In the case of a non-
competitive appointment, while
the head of department has a
right to pick anyone he wishe
the appointee must neverthele
at least meet the minimum re-
quirements for the position as
fixed by the Commission. The
Commission is theoretically re-
quired to examine every person
appointed to a non-competitive
position, but in practice the kind
of non-competitive examination’?
that may be used depends upon
the nature of the position to be
filled, It may consist of a writ-
ten examination, or it may be
based solely on filing of a state-
ment of the appointee’s education
and experience record; or it ma
be merely an oral interview.

Post Office Probe
Postmaster General Frank C.
Walker is making a business+
man’s survey of the gigantic Post
Office Department which was dis-
placed only a few weeks ago by
the War Department as Uncle
Sam's largest agency. The sur-
vey or investigation, whatever you
might like to call it, has been in
progress for several months and
will continue indefinitely, It cov-
ers the entire department, even
the division of inspectors; and
Post Office inspectors are making
the survey. Heading up the sur-
vey is Fred ©. Ironside, Jr, @
e.
uy yours at ts
RY DOCK
/
wy Bonk
confidential assistant, who's a
close personal friend of Walker's.
No Shake-up
The investigation is unique be-
cause it wasn’t inspired to shake
up the personnel and to oust or
discredit key officials. In fact,
the Postmaster General says the
survey to date has added weight
to his belief that the department
is operated by able and efficient
officials,
Walker hag sought the coopera-
tion of the officials in making the
survey. Before a division is
tackled by the investigators the
matter is discussed at a staff
meeting, The suryey, Walker
hopes, will produce enough infor-
mation for him to make future
plans, Post Office business is
blooming but he doesn't want to
build up a huge staff now and go
through another uch retrench-
ment period as the Post Office
experienced in 1933, Postal re
nues in the 1940 fiscal year were
766 million dollars, in 1941 they
were 812 million dollars, and
Walker estimates that they will
be 850 million dollars this year,
Walker States Purpose
In‘a recent speech at a post-
masters’ convention, Walker r
vealed the object of the survey.
He said in part: "We must
search out ways and means to
simplify procedure and eliminate
records, reports, and forms that
have become outmoded, We must
seek better and more accurate in-
formation as to costs, seek pos
sible reduction of costs and yet
retain and increase efficiency in
operations , . . I should like to
see rules, regulations, orders and
instructions which guide post-
masters in their day-to-day duties
simplified and written in plain
language, Some of our rules lack
clarity, many are outdated, many
require amendment and modifica-
tion.” Some of the rules and
regulations, {t is said, haven't
been applied in 50 years,

In the meantime, work out the answers for
1938. B is wrong. The Penal
law is a result of the laws of
1909, chapter 88, and is an act
providing for the punishment of
crime, C ts wrong. The Manual
of Procedure is designed to ef-
Police Department.
Answer to Question 30
C is correct, Although the police
equipment item of the budget
will increase as a result of pur-
chasing more motor vehicles, the
personnel item will decrease com-
paratively. Radio motor patrol
can be best assigned to areas
generally unfrequented, thereby
allowing foot patrolmen to be
spared in such areas, However,
this does not mean that the per-
sonnel of the Police Department
1s on the decrease. It does mean
that more efficient duty is being
performed by the same amount
of patrolmen with the assistance
of motor patrol. A is wrong. In
some areas of the city, motor
patrol is not as effective as foot
patrof! B, is wrong. The equip-
ment item is increased, not the
personnel item, D is a true state-
ment but it does not answer the
question. E is wrong. In the
opinion of many experts, foot
patrol will never become extinct.
It is a necessary branch of a good
police department for many rea-
fons, such as knowing who lives
on the post, who does business on
the post, what questionable char-
acters frequent the post. Also, a
uniformed patrolman has a cer-
tain amount of preventive power
and serves as a deterrent to
crime.
Answer to Question 31
A 1s correct. The objects which
seem to be cars on the city seal
are the sails of a windmill, The
city seal consists of the follow-
ing: 1. Arms: Upon a shield, sal-
tire wise, the sails of a windmill.
Between the sails, a chief, a
beaver, on the base a beaver and
on each flank a flour barrel; 2.
Supporters: Dexter, a sailor, his
right arm bent and holding in his
right hand a plummet, his left
arm bent and his left hand rest-
ing on the top of the shield, above
his right shoulders a cross staff;
Sinister, an Indian of Manhattan,
his right arm bent, his right hand
resting on top of the shield, his
left hand holding the upper’ end
of a bow, the lower end of which
rests on the ground, Shield and
supporters resting on a horizontal
laurel branch; 3. Date: Beneath
the horizontal laurel branch, the
date 1664; 4. Crest: An American
eagle with wings outstretched
upon a hemisphere; 5. Legend:
The words ‘‘Sigillum Civitatis
Novi Eboraci” (seal of the City
of New York) Inscribed on a rib.

Question 32
The three R’s in relation to

FEW OBJECT T0
CLERK ANSWERS
ALBANY. — Although but five
days were announced originally
as the period for filing objec-
tions to answers in the October
4 clerk examination, the State
Civil Service Commission {s not
going to stick to that limitation.
At least 10 or 11 days will
allowed, dating from the day the
key answers were sent to com-
petitors, which was November 6.
During the first seven days
after the keys went out, the ex-
aminations bureau reported but
23 protests filed, but no attempt
was made to classify them. They
were shelved to await the com-
pletion of a reasonable period for
filing.
Some time this week the burea
will pull out the protest letters
and look them over. If there are
sufficient grounds for disputing
the Civil Service Commission
own answer to any question, one
of two courses may be taken.
Hither the newly proposed an-
swer, if it appears meritorious,
will be declared the right answer,
resulting in cancellation of all
other answers, even the Com-
mission’s; or the Commission
will accept both Its own answer
and the proposed new answer.
All this, of course, 1s contingent
upon the number of appeals on
any one question and answer.
All the exams—New York City,
New York State, and United
States — open at this time are
listed on the exam pages. For

Foe of Pyros Dies
Assistant Fire Marshal Henry
W. Walthers died of a cerebral
hemorrhage at the Holy Family
Hospital Wednesday — evening.
Stricken at the Brooklyn office
less than two weeks ago, he
lapsed into a coma from which
he emerged only briefly, The
best brain specialists available
were summoned by the Fire Medi-
cal office in a desperate effort to
save the investigator's life, but
the damage had been too severe.
In his 24 years with the Fire
Department, Walthers established
an enviable record, He served
with the 79th Regiment and saw
action in three major battles, be-
ing gassed in the Battle of Bi
leau Woods. By virtue of his
service with the armed forces he

Henry Walthers was rated one
of the most efficient investigators
in the arson field, but more than
that, he had a fine character and
a sense of humor such as is pos-
sessed by few men. But what
puts a lump in my throat is that
he was marriea only four months
ago, after knowing his bride for
many years. He was the main
support of his mother who died
eight months ago, and home ties
prevented an earlier marriage.
His loyalty to his home was ad-
mired by Hermine Wegner, and
she remained faithful throughout
their long courtship. And now
after only four months of wedded
bliss . . . this column extends its
deepest sympathy to the widow.

Passing Is Not Enough
The First of a Series of Articles on Proper
Preparation for Civil Service Examinations

A. and Alvin Slavin, B.A. M.A.

within the last two years.

The future outlook for candidates who seek Civil
Service jobs in the Federal, State, and Municipal governments prom-
ise even greater opportunity for those who achieve the highest
ratings in competitive or promotion examinations,
With this unprecedented growth of government personnel has come
a corresponding increase in the number of persons taking Civil Service
examinations.
Competition among candidates becomes keener.
‘There exists a popular misconception, however, that the achieve~
ment of a passing grade in an examination is sufficient.
On the con-
trary, merely passing an examination is not enough . One must pass
with a sufficiently high rating to be within reach of appointment.

Thorough Preparation Important
‘Thorough preparation, therefore, determines the difference between
being appointed or remaining as part of the deadwood on a list. A
study of the Civil Service examination reveals that it consists, usually,
of two parts.

fess
edge or skill for a particular position.
‘The first part, called the General Mental Test, measures
‘Te second part, the Pro-
The extent of preparation for
the professional or technical part of an examination can be determined
by the quality of the candidate's training and experience. The Mental
Test, the eliminating factor in Civil Service examinations, is too often
the stumbling block for many highly-trained and well-qualified candi-
dates,
For example, a skilled bookkeeper may achieve a high rating
in the professional part, yet will fail to place high on the register be-
eause he did not receive a maximum rating in the General Mental Test.
‘The technique of tests and measurements used in the General Men-
tal Test indicates that there is a high correlation between the intelli-
gence quotient of an individual and three measurable aptitudes:
qa)
language usage, (2) logical reasoning, and (3) general information,
Language usage measures a person's yocabulary, reading comprehen-
sion, grammatical speech and writing, and accuracy in spelling and
punctuation, Logical
reasoning tests judgment,
comprehensioh of
arithmetic problems, and abilily to make decisions and follow direc-
tions. General information consists of a person's knowledge of current
events and understanding of the functions of government and private
enterprise,
The General Mental Test of a Civil Service examination
measures these three elements of general intelligence.
It is our purpose in subsequent articles to discuss proper methods
of preparation for
the General Mental Test.
We shall show, by meth-
ods and specific exercises, how a candidate may improve his language
usage, develop his logical reasoning, and enrich his store of general
information,

Description of Property
Priorities amongst many busi-
nesses dealing in produce or serv-
ices necessary to a home have
caused an increase in the ex-
penses of running your own home
today, However, after some in-
vestigation we have found that
thrifty constmers can save on
thelr fuel. Facts show that six
per cent carbon dioxide nets the
home-owner a loss of 18 per cent
on every fuel dollar he spends
but by readjusting the oil or coal
burner to read about 10 or 11 per
cent carbon dioxide, the loss will
only be approximately four cents
on every fuel dollar you spend.
This is done by eliminating excess
air in filtration. After having
discussed this problem with the
Fuel Saver Co., at 4183 Park ave-
nue, the Bronx, N, ¥., we readily
recommend a consultation with
them concerning your heating
problems, Most owners take their
heating systems for granted as
long as there is a flame in their
boiler. Fuel Saver Co,, with their
knowledge in heating, will check
your entire heating plant for de-
fects and will make a thermos
bottle out of your boiler by the
use of their exclusive patented
method. In many cases enough
heat {s wasted in the basement
to heat the entire first floor. If
there {s any further information,
reference of demonstration with-
out obligation that you desire,
just write to Fuel Saver Co., 4198
ena

And still sticking to the point of
defense priority, we find that they
have curbed considerably the
building of new homes in and
about New York, However, there
are innumerable beautiful homes
for sale in Westchester County,
If you are interested in these
homes we advise you to write to
the Yonkers Savfhgs Bank, 16
South Broadway, Yonkers, New
York, for a free booklet on West-
chester homes for sale,
If there’s any information you
desire about lots, houses, fur-
nished or unfurnished apartments,
or any other Real Estate problem
on which you require assistance,
just write to Fred Ashley, Civil
Service LEADER, 97 Duane
street, N.Y.C.
