WASHINGTON. De 4.—Bar-
fing upsets, the bill to raise the

pay of U. S. employees will go
before the Senate for action this

Senator Sheridan Downey. (D.
Cal), its principal sponsor, has
sent a personal letter to every Sen.
tor, asking prompt action |

Tt is still almost impossible to
forecast what action the Senate
will take on the pay bill. |

The measure would grant a 20)
per cent pay raise to white collar |
government workers and a 10 per}
Gent boost to employees of Con- |
gress, That Congress will approve
Some increase is considered a fore-
gone conclusion. But how much
Bnd when are moot questions.

A group headed by Senator
Harry F. Byrd (D., Va.) is strenu-
ously opposing passage of the pay
bill at this time, Senator Byrd is
@emanding that the measure be
returned to the Civil Service Com-
Mittee for further hearings. And
several other influential Senators
have come out flatly against the
bill,

Downey's Letter

Senator Downey in his letter to

bis colleagues said:
“It is my profound hope that|
You will find it possible to partici-
in @ consideration of the

fain amendments, I will present to
the Senate at the earliest oppor-

the printing of the examination notice. Mayor-elect

cent for legislative and judicial
the executive branch and 10 per
employees,

“Let me emphasize that Federal
employees are now averaging in
real purchasing power 10 to 20
per cent less than in 1941, They
have been raised less than 16 per
cent while the cost of living has
increased from 30 to 36 per cent.

“Since V-J Day almost all over-
time has been eliminated thereby
reducing Federal wage costs ap-
proximately 25 per cent. While
this has resulted in a great saving
to the Government, it has
many Federal workers
ate financial straits.

“Beyond this 25 per cent sav-
ings from the elimination of over-
time, hundreds of thousands of
employees have been discharged
in the past 90 days further reduc-
ing Federal expenditures.

“May I express the earnest hope | the

that the Senate next week will
consider and finally dispose of the
Federal pay bill—and the amend-
menta to be proposed—and that
you will be able to participate in
the deliberations leading to such
a result.”
Amendments Submitted

And at the same time Senator
Downey submitted a list of amend-
which would:

1. Boost Congressional salaries
from $10,000 to $15,000 a year, in-
stead of the $20,000 proposed by
President Truman.

2. Give each member of Con-| of

gress a $2,500 annual expense ac-
count. (House members already
have such an account,)

3, Give each member of Con-
gress @ $9,000-a-year assistant.

4. Boost the pay of Cabinet

boards
major Federal officers by $5,000
per year—instead of the $10,000
suggested by President Truman.

5. Raise the

. ceiling on Federal
jobs within the classified Civil | raise

Service to $15,000, instead of the
present $9,800. This would be
done by adding two new grades to
the classified service,

6. Set up a retirement system
for Congressmen, Senator Dow-
ney's proposal would make mem-
bers of Congress eligible for re-
tirement under the Civil Service
retirement system at a fixed cost
to each member—plus five per
cent of their salaries while in
office.

7. Grant the President an addi-
tonal $25,000 per year for main-
tenance and official entertain-
ment.

8. Create a Presidential Com-
mission to make aw long-range
study of Federal salaries and em-
ployment conditions. Among other
things, this commission would
look into the possibility of a geo-
graphical pay differential for Fed-
eral workers, At present, all gov-
ernment employees get the same
pay for the same job—regardiess
of living costs and non-govern-
ment pay scales in their own com-
munities.

Murray Asks Passage

Philip Murray, CIO President,
wrote to Senator Majority Leader
Alben Barkley:

“Like other workers through-
out the nation, the Federal em-
ployees have suffered reductions
in their take-home pay which will
make it impossible for them to

standard for themselves
and thelr families. I believe it
was clearly brought out at the re-
cent hearings in the Senate Civil
Service Committee that with the
return of government to a 40-hour
week and the consequent elimina-
tion of overtime pay, a 30 per cent
increase in salaries would be re-
quired to fully restore to these
workers the purchasing power

which they enjoyed before the war
began, Yet at that time, in 1941,
their wages had not been gener-
ally increased for nearly 20 years,

“Therefore, it seems to me that
the 20 per cent increases proposed
in the Downey Bill are, in fact,
Inadequate, Certainly they are the
very least which the Congress

should consider as an immediate
step to permit the government’s
own workers to live decently and
to enable them to perform their
vital tasks efficiently.

“I therefore urge you to do ev-

Federal government.” saul
‘omment Fast Action

ted to be # lively debate.
PeThe Committee's fast action on
the bill caused comment that the

better tf the committee had taken

Anyway, Senator Downey, com-
mittee chairman, forced the bill

bitter fight by economy advocates.

Burns Wants Armed Forces
To Quit Civilian Jobs

Apeolal to The LEADER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4—Civil-
jan jobs in the Federal Govern-
ment should go back to civilians,
says James B, Burns, President,
American Federation of Govern-
ment Employees (AFL). He said:

“During the war of
these jobs have been assigned to
commissioned officers and enlisted
men and women of the Army,
Navy and Marine Corps. At a time
when job opportunities in Gov-
ernment service are drying up s0
rapidly and when men and wom-

en in uniform are so eager to get

| back to civilian life, there appears |
to be no further justification for
retaining uniformed personnel on
civilian jobs.

“Military personnel on duty in
civilian jobs should be discharged
from the service, if they quality
on points, or transferred to other |
duty of military nauure.
Essentially civilian jobs in the
War and Navy Departments

| should be restored to civilian oo- |

| CUipancy at the earliest date pos-
sible.”

were sent to the 500 Officers who
were working or about to start
working the 8-hour day; these
Officers were asked to signify
whether or not they would be
willing to temporarily work the 67
hour week. 234 ballota were re-
turned; 48 were negative and 186
agreed to work the Elimination
System; this ratio was about 4
to 1 in the affirmative. The Ex-
ecutive Board cannot tabulate un-

tified in believing that these re-

“Unfortunately this was not
true, because Commissioner Walsh,

U. S. PHANTOM AID TO VETS
STILL CAUSING HEARTBREAKS

T™ number of veterans seeking Federal jobs keeps
gaining apace with the increase of the number of
men and women discharged from the armed forces. The

U. S. Civil Service Commission's generosity in handing out
application blanks to veterans, largely for non-existent

jobs, keeps generating more and more heartbreaks,

s Examinations may be reopened for veterans, in some
instances only for disabled veterans, and while the gesture
was no doubt sincere at the start, experience has so

OHN D. J. MOORE

“The professional level in pub-
He jobs has risen considerably
in the past 10 years,” said Assist-
ant District Attorney John D. J.
Moore. “For instance, legal work

the Commission should do is to restrict applications to
those titles which give promise of job opportunities. Why
it does nothing to rectify a situation that is fast becoming
notorious is very difficult to understand,

EXPERIENCE CREDIT OVERDONE
IN ONE NYC EXAM

| ia examination for Borough Superintendent (Depart
4 ment of Housing and Buildings) was voided by
the Court of Appeals a few years ago because of an
accurate prediction by the President of the NYC Civil
Service Commission, then Paul J. Kern, as to who would
be on the eligible list, although the oral examination had
not been completed, Certainly the candidates had nothing
to do with that. The voiding of the examination was
wholly without fault of the candidates or eligibles.

Now that the examination is to be held again, the
NYC Commission, under the leadership of Harry W.
Marsh, evidently wants tobe very fair to those appointed
from the original list who may be candidates again, so
grants them experience credit from the date of their
appointment to the date of the voiding of the examination
by the Court of Appeals.

It is quite possible that the attempt to be very fair
may lead to results far different from any that the Com-
mission has in mind, because the voiding, in legal effect,
So back to the very inception of the examination. There-
‘ore the appointees were. in very likely legal effect, pro-
visionals from the date of their appointment, and no more
experience credit can be given to them than to any other
provisionals. The present doubt, fortunately, will relate
only to those appointed from both lists, and will not affect
the whole new list, but the invitation to trouble in an
already overtroubled examination should be withdrawn,

NON-DISABLED VET PREFERENCE
IS FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS IN NY

HE Public Administration Clearing House, discussing
the veterans’ preference amendment ratified at

the polls in N, Y, State on Nov. 6 last, says:
“One provision of the constitutional amengment
places a 5-year limit on preference for non-disabled vet-
evans, These veterans are entitled to preference until

mit himself, but left the impres-
sion that, in one field or
another, it Js up to the employee,
by skill and industry, to create
his own opportunities, rather than
‘0 rely on some predetermined
condition.

Got Busy Early

Mr, Moore has been an up-and-
coming type of fellow ever since
anybody who knows him well can
remember, He was s serious sta-
dent even in his high school days,
when spirits are least subject to
being bounden.

While at Yale, both in the aca-
demic and law courses, he was al-
ways active in studies, campus life
and business. Yes, he was a busi-
ness man; had to be. You see, he
worked his way through his col-
lege courses, selling advertising
for the football program, being &
correspodent for NYC and Boston
newspapers, and selling phono-
graph records in the dormitories,
not forgetting a bit o' time out
for studies, The book learning
didn't pay off at once, the others
did, but now he's not so sure that
a little learning is a dangerous

AS I AM a veteran, with 10
per cent disability, what is neces-
sary so that my U. S. war service
indefinite appointment may be-
come permanent?—T.U.V.
It is necessary that your de-
partment or bureau head should
recommend you for probationary
status, In any event a proba-
tionary period of one year would
have to be served satisfactorily
before classified (permanent)
status would be conferred. Under
new regulations the probationary
period can be retroactive to the
date of war service indefinite ap-
pointment. Thus one who hse
served satisfactorily in a war-
service capacity for a year could
obtain permanent classified status
without further walt.

Terminal Leave
I AM on terminal leave from
the Army Air Forces until January
12, 1946. Before I entered mili-
tary duty, I was employed in the

Merits and Demerits of the Merit System

OPINION REGARDING the merit system is sharply differentiated

they do. The outs have no equal chance to serve
it at the public’s expense.

The third and largest group look on Civil Service as a useful
government device, with-its good and its bad points. They see it as
® very human institution, partly good, partly bad, but capable of
much improvement, Much of Civil Service procedure belongs to the
horse and buggy days and should be discarded. The protective shell
of lnw, rule and custom that makes improvement difficult should be

shattered and the system should be appraised purely on its merits
and on its defects. 7

WHAT THE ADVERSE CRITICISM IS

The critics of the merit system point out the following:

1, The examination system often fails to attract the ablest,
most ambitious young people to public service or to measure and
test abiltty for the particular job.

2. Narrow residence requirements often rule out the best possible
candidates.

3. Appointment of one of the three standing highest on the
lst of eligibles often compels the appointment of unfit candidates.

4. Too many positions are classed as Non-Competitive, Labor
or Exempt when the skills required can best be secured by Competi-
tive appointments.

5. Probationary periods are too short to determine the ability
of new appointees.

6. Temporary and provisional appointees are allowed too often
to serve permanently or for long periods.

1, Promotions are too restrieted by narrow promotion units. Dead
end jobs are multiplied.

& Veterans’ preference creates a near monopoly of Public Service.

9. Lack of in-service training causes Inefficiency and loss of
interest In the Job to be done,

10, Public service has not adopted industry's plan of encouraging
employees’ suggestions for better methods of getting work done. The
loss to the State is huge, both in terms of money and morale,

ATTITUDES ON VETERANS PREFERENCE

Many public employees criticize the veterans’ preference pro-
posals merely because they are in and the veteran is out. This
may be » human attitude but it is not sound. The sole questions
are two; (1) Who is the better qualified to do the job, and (2) Who
best understands the social significance of the job, the fact that
the public interest is supreme over every private interest in every job.

To the founders of Civil Service, the merit system was a faith
—# creed. It symbolized their belief that government was no better
than the men and women in public office and that the best must
serve the State if the public welfare was to be the supreme end of
government.

‘The merit system has its ups and downs. Under a partisan and
Political administration, the spoils system operates in defiance of
the law. Reform administrations, on the other hand, rely on and
use the merit system as the chief arm of the administration,

Our Association of State Civil Service Employees was organized
to protect not only the Civil Service employee but the Civil Service
system, It has been during all its history the watch dog, the chem-
pion of the Merit System. It labors to correct the abuses of the
merit system, to n and to extend its operution, to multiply
the service of the State to all the clizens of the State.

EMPLOYEES HAIL GOLDSTEIN'S

MERIT SYSTEM POLICIE

ALBANY, Dec, 4—The policy
instituted by_ Attorney-General
Nathaniel L. Goldstein of provid-
ing an incentive to top-ranking
students to decide upon a public
career service is expected to be
followed by other State depart-
ments. It is reported that the
pian is to be tried next in the
office of the State Comptroller,
of which Frank C. Moore is the
head, Mr, Goldstein ts said to
have convinced Comptrolier
Moore to give the system a trial.

Some exceptionally able legal
work has been done by Assistants
whom Mr, Goldstein has selected
from lists submitted at his request
by law school deans. There
been distribution among various
schools, Also, the Assistants’ pro-
gress has been rewarded by
salary increases,

What Record Discloses

A study of Attorney- General
Goldstein's administration of his
office shows that not only has he
appointed law students of out-
standing. scholastic record as
Assistants, but that he has
rescued able employees confined
to dead-end jobs despite their
ability, and has been very success-
ful in obtaining promotion exam-
inations for his competitive staff.
His record shows that appoint-
ments and promotions are made
straight down the list,

Mr, Goldstein has about 80)
exempt Assistants and Deputy
Assistant Attorneys-General, of
whom 11 are Democrats, though
he Is a Republican, and besides he
has retained qualified Democrats
in other positions, and moved
some up to key positions. This
has impressed his employees with
his nonpartisanship. The progress
that civil service employees are
able to make, when they deserve
Promotion, has impressed his com~-
petitive staff that they are faring
well, hence they have no inclina-
tion to have existing conditions
or contacts altered.

NATHANIEL L, GOLDSTEIN

Gokistein's office—a Democrat, by
the way—said that Mr. Goldstein
“believes in the merit system and
puts it into full effect.”

“He doesn't render mere lip
service, but he puts his ideas into
action,” said the employee.

The Law Department has been

so that all cases are, or are soon
to be, current, and no idling
backlog is permitted. ‘This mod-
ernization has been a huge under-
taking. Much of the credit for
this achievement is ascribed to his
insistence that every man carry
his own weight. Exempt em-
ployees must do their full share
of work, They have the same
working hours as competitive civil
service employees, Nobody gets
his check by mail—a phrase that
describes employees in public
service who do nothing but draw
their pay, which has to arrive in

| the home letter-box to spare the
recipient even that one trip to
|the office, Formerly civil service

| employees, as some of them admit,

|had to carry a bigger load than

| they considered their just share,
No Casualties

The streamlining of the Attor-
ney-General's office has been ac-
complished without a single civil
service employee losing his job,
title or grade.

Five competitive employees are
bureau heads, another record for
the office,

The promotion examinations
have been notable in the Clerk
and Stenographer grades. Such
examinations had not been held
for years. He actively supported
the competitive Accountants in
their successful fight for reclassi-
fication. He appointed every man
on the eligible list—13 was the
lucky number—of Title Attorney.
‘He supported legislation to extend
the life of the eligible list for
Title Examiner, which was about
to expire.

A Model Bureau

He set up a model Highways
and Rights of Way Bureau—model
in administration and office ar-
rangement and conditions. He
provided better offices for the
Stenographers in the Albany office
and at 80 Center Street, NYC, he

reorganized under Mr. Goldstein,| had neon lighting installed on

each Stenographer’s desk, Also,
he had time clocks removed. He
said that he was not running «
factory.

His selection of Personnel
Officers has met with marked em-
ployee approval—Mrs. Jessie Ellis
in NYC and George Loveys in
Albany.

“Civil service employees should
| be grateful for the positive sup-
port they have received from Mr.
Goldstein,” said a spokesman for
an employee group. “He Js our
friend and we should not forget
it,”

Employees Move Up

One of the plans that Mr. Gold-
stein carried to successful con-
clusion was to have Assistant
Attorneys-General who were at
the of their grade reclassified
into next higher grade. Mr,
Goldstein himself represented ALBANY, Dec, 4—Here in Al-
bany everybody, especially his
wife, is expecting Joe Lochner
back soon, She is working in
Joe's old bailiwick,
quarters of the Association of
| State Civil Service Employees.

Like all GI's, Joe is anxious to
be home, too. He's been in a long
time now,

fication Bi

Also in Mr, Goldstein's favor is
cited the fact that he permitted
exempt employees whose services
were of value to the State to re-
main on their jobs up to one
year, to qualify for retirement on
half-pay allowance.

The Deputy Assistants who
were appointed from the deans’
lists numbered 5, They received
an entrance salary of $2,100, but
have since been raised to $3,300,

All applicants for jobs have to
go through a thorough investiga-
tion, For exempt positions, since
the responsibility is practically
entirely his own, Mr. Goldstein
has candidates investigated by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
and the State Bureau of Criminal
Identification, If they survive
these investigations it doesn't
necessarily prove that they are
good lawyers, but at least that
they are not bad characters, Mr.
Goldstein attends to the legal
competence inquiry himself.

Change Takes Place

In the beginning of his term,
which started on January 1, 1943,
oe of the first 15 applicants 7
found, Que they were through | ja to load 35 tons of rubber

What a returned Veteran

and variety of the weapons that poured forth from his old
home town. He hadn't realized (few people do!) how many
tools of modern war were forged in New York's many plants.
Here are just a few eye-openers: K-rations, gunsights, aircraft,
bomb sights, life-caving drugs, barges, uniforms, gun armor,
shells, radar, battleships. .:

Here's another little-known fect about New York: we're
the leading manufacturing city in the country! We out
produce Chicago (next largest industrial center) by nearly
50%! In one field after another, New York makes the
most ...and generally the best of its kind . ::

The OPPORTUNITIES it offers!

Best news for our returned veterans (and
you) is this: local plants tell us they expect
to employ many thousands more people than
they did before the war.

All a city nepds to give its citizens pros-
perity...opportunities for all...is here in
abundance in your own New York.

There’s a pent-up buying power soaring
into the millions. Business has ambitious

plans for expansion. The switch from war to
peacetime production should be easy and
quick. (The city’s manufacturing facilities
are tremendous and distributed among
27,000 plants.)

‘© And—to make all plans for expansion
workable— there is ample, dependable elec-
tric power, supplied by efficient private man-
agement,

driver of an engine in a fire com~-
located on Z Street, a long,
extremely narrow, one-way street
in lower Manhattan on which the
traffic runs from north to south.
‘The fire station is in the middle
of the block. There are traffic
lights on both ends of the street.
In responding to a fire directly
east of your fire station, it would
usually be preferable for you to
drive
(A) South along Z Street, be-
cause the south end of the block
will be free from traffic more
frequently than the north end;
(B) north along Z% Street, because
traffic is moving south to north;
(C) south along Z Street, because
traffic could move out of your way
more quickly; (D) north along

are easier to make in one-way
traffic; (E) south along Z Street,

building will be caught in the
water projected by firemen on the
other side; (C) the pressure of
the water is less likely to collapse
the walis; (D) fire apparatus can
be assembled more readily on the
fourth side; (E) continuous ob-
servation of the degree of control
of the fire is permitted from the

” Of the following,
the most valid inference that may

fire; (C) the apparatus and men
sent immediately to a fire should
be sufficient to handle practically
any confiagration that may be
found; (D) the full potentialities
of a fire are usually realized; (E)

doing more harm than good; (Z)
that the Fire Department should

“Saratoga Trunk,” the Warner
Bros romantic film drama based
on the Edna Ferber best-selling
hovel, with Ingrid Bergman and
Gary Cooper in the lead roles, is
one of the most entertaining
“period” pictures Hollywood has
turned out. The film is currently
showing at the New York Holly-
wood Theatre.

Faye Emerson, who has turned
out to be quite a glamour gal, and
Z Scott, who did such a
wonderful acting job in “The
Southerner,” are teamed in the
absorbing film drama at the Vic-
torin Theatre, “Danger Signal.”

“Spellbound,” the story about a
woman psychiatrist who falls in
love with one of her patients, is
as engrossing a film as I have
ever seen, Top acting honors once

stars with

Steno and Typist
Filing Period
Is In Last Week

Both men and women are eligi-
ble for Stenographer and Typiats
examinations which will be held
by the Federal Government in the
metropolitan area in the near
future, The Regional Office of the
U. 8. Civil Service Commission
has announced that applications
will be received until December 10
for the positions, which pay $1,902
and $1,704 for Stenographer and
$1,704 and $1,506 for Typist.

Application forms will be issued
and received at the Commission
office at 641 Washington Street,
Manhattan, The Commission noti-
fles applicants by mail when to
appear for the examination.

These testa are open to both
veterans and non-veterans, Com-
mission officials point out that

while the appointments must be
made on a war-service basis, the
shortage of such help in the Fed-
eral Service is a good indication
of continued employment. Also,
the fact that the positions are
being filled through a regular ex-
amination and appointment mafe
from a register may make it pos-
sible later to transform the posi-
tions to permanent status.

In last week's LEADER ap-
peared the complete official an-
nouncement and an official sample
of the type of test which will be
used on the examination.

Terminal Leave Bill
Signed by Truman

Special to The LEADER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4— The
Terminal Leave Bill (S. 1306) has
been signed by President Truman
and is now law.

Passage of the bill makes it pos-
sible for officers of the Armed
Forces to receive pay from a Fed-
eral or State agency while on ter-
minal leave from the armed forces.
Previously, such officers had to
waive their rights to military pay
to work for a public agency be-
fore the end of the terminal pay
period.

As finally adopted, the bill in-
cludes officers of the Coast and
Geodetic Service and the Public
Health Service.
