Yet Reached on

State Pay Rise; New Parley Set

ALBANY, Jan. 22 — As this ig-
Sue of The LEADER was going to
press, no agreement had yet been
reached on salary increases. The
sequence of a tense series of events
went like this:

On Friday night, a special meet-
Ing of the Civil Service Employees
Association Board of Directors was
called to consider the entire sal-
ary situation. The results of these
deliberations were then transmit-
ted to Budget Director T. Norman
Hurd on Saturday. The Budget
Director, in turn, conferred with
legislative and administrative
Jeaders on Sunday night, On Mon-
day morning, Mr, Hurd again met
with Jesse B., McParland, presi-
gent of the Civil Service Em-
ployees Association, and several
other negotiators. No agreement
‘was obtained, The Budget Direc-
tor then asked that a letter draft-
ed by him be submitted to the As-
sociation Board of Directors for
consideration. This the Association
leaders agreed to do; and that
letter will be considered at the As-
sociation's Board meeting sched-
uled for Thursday, January 24,

Parley on Friday

Another conference between ne-
fotiators on both sides will be held
on Friday. It is understood that

THE HAT of Robert F. Wagner,

Mr, Wagner told this column: “I

Special Meeting Ci
After the fifth negotiation meet-
ing, when the two negotiating
teams seemed wide apart on their
views, Mr. McFarland had called
the meeting of the Association
Board of Directors, to brief the
members to date and to obtain
their viewpoint before proceeding
with further action. The Board,
apprised of all the facts, but-
tressed the negotiators with a
resolution permitting them to
make the best possible arrange-
ment in exchange for valid com-

mitments. These commitments
would include, in addition to a
Pay raise, agreement that the

year 1951 would be set up as a
parity year for future negotiations.
The Board members also indicated

an interest in the possibility of a
freeze-in by legislation of emerg-
ency compensation, if it would be
practicable to enact such legisla-
tion for implementation in 1953.
After the Board members had
heard the complete story, includ-
ing the arguments of the Budget
Director and the practical reali-
ties of what was in the realm of
the possible, they embodied their
collective view in a resolution di-
recting the negotiators to proceed
further,
Salary Study Sought

Mr, McFarland pointed out that
the Association seeks a complete

members responded affirmatively
to this suggestion.
Offer of $8,000,000

The Board meeting had been
called after Budget Director Hurd
had offered $8,000,000 in money,
to be distributed via one of three
suggested plans. This sum, which
means about 4.6 percent increase,
was flatly rejected by the Associa-
tion’s negotiators. Information

Time and a Half Pay
Set Up in Ithaca

ITHACA, Jan. 21—The Board of
Public Works in the city of Ithaca
has established a time-and-a-half
for overtime scale, based on mini-
mum wages for Public Works em-
ployees in that city.

Superintendent Francis J. La-
verty pointed out that through
the payment of time-and-a-half
for overtime, emergencies are met
more effectively in that city. The
Common Council of the city has
adopted a new wage schedule that
has provided increases in several
of the job classifications.

The new wage increases includes
$100 raise for clerk-typists, and
$200 for Senior Stenographers and
Account Clerks, Other adjustments
were also made.

Trooper's Life

ALBANY, Jan, 21—Jesse B, Mc-
Parland, president of the 54,000-
member Civil Service Employees
Association, commented last week

on the shooting incident that oc-
curred) Wednesday, January 10,
near Syracuse, when State Troop-
er Robert Barry was fired upon

by an unidentified driver of a
speeding car.
Mr, McFarland stated: “This is

just another example of the
hazardous day-to-day work of the
State Troopers. They risk their
lives so willingly that the general
public accepts such unselfish ser-
vice as a matter of course, and is
inclined to overiook the risks and
sacrifices incident to these jobs,

Is Hazardous,

McFarland Points Out; State
Should Improve Conditions

The risks and sacrifices are
forgotten when it comes to pay=
ing these brave public servants
|desirable wages and providing
|them with proper working condi-
tions. It is to be hoped that this
| year's Legislature, now in session,
| will make & serious attempt to
|help remedy this situation,”

Trooper Barry had stopped the
car carrying the unidentified
driver and a female companion on
Route 5 for speeding, and when he
asked to see the man’s operators
license, instead of showing it, the
driver fired two shots, barely miss+
ing Trooper Barry.

ALBANY, Jan, 21 — The Per-

AMONG BILLS

INTRODUCED IN ALBANY

ALBANY, Jan. 21 — Civil serv-
ice employees would benefit under
seven bills introduced in the Leg-
islature this week by State Senator
Seymour Halpern.

On five of the measures, Hal-
pern is teamed with three of his
Queens colleagues, Assemblymen
Fred W. Preller, Samuel Rabin
and Anthony P, Savarese, The
other two measures were intro-
duced on the Assembly side by
William N, Reidy and Edward T.
Galloway

Neo Reduction on Appointment

The bills would:

1, (With? Preller): Insure that
any civil service employee who
gains a promotion would receive
no less than the salary earned in
his previous position.

At the present time many em-
ployees are certified for promo-
tions at starting salaries lower
than those they had been_re-
ceiving in the lower grade. Thus
@ qualified civil service employee
who earned a promotion might be
unable to take advantage of the
opportunity afforded him because
he was unable to afford a reduc-
tion in salary, This bill remedies
what is today an obvious inequity
in our law.

Labor Class Seniority

2. (With Rabin): Protect~ the
seniority of city civil service em-
ployees in the labor class by re-
quiring that if they are dismissed

& H. Anderson,

District 5, is retiri

his wife at © porty given in his ho

Post of the American Legion,

tment of Public Works,

wil

or separated from service, their
service will be terminated in in-
verse order of seniority, reinstate-
ments in cases of dismissal will
likewise be made in accordance
with seniority.

This bill gives the rights of
seniority which are now granted
in private industry to @ large and
important class of our civil ser-
vants who may be discharged
through no fault of their own.

‘Non-Competitive’ Seniority

3. (With Savarese): Grant the
same, protection to the “non-
competitive class” of civil servants
as would be conferred on the labor
Class by the bill described in “2”
above.

4. (With Galloway): Provide
that no civil service employee who
has served for a period ten
years or more may be removed ex-
cept for incompetency or miscon-
duct shown after a hearing upon
due notice of stated charges,

This bill gives vital protection
j to civil service employees who have
been in public service for a sub-
stantial period of time.

Retirement at Age 50

5. (With Reidy): Allow New
York City, civil service employees
who have served more than 26
years the option of retiring after
they reach the age of fifty. Since

To Permit Retirement at 50,
Raise Pay with Promotion

retirement allowances will not be
paid until the person retiring ac-
tually reaches the minimum re-
tirement age, there will be no in-
creased cost to the city. The privi-
lege embodied in this bill is now
possessed by veterans.
Evidence of Disability

6. (With Savarese): Permit
State employees to produce medi-
cal evidence of their disabilities in
support of their claims for dis-
ability retirements at hearings on
their appeals.

Under the present law an em-
ployee is permitted to be repre-
sented by counsel on such an ap-
peal but is not permitted to pre-
Sent the vital evidence of his phy-
sician. Such medical evidence is
essential for a fair hearing of the
appeal.

Change of Title
47. (With Preller): Change the
title of “court attendant” to

“court officer.” This title is more
descriptive of the important and
honorable duties assumed by this
class of civil service employees.
The term attendant, say the spon-
sors, is a misnomer which has the
effect of detracting from the
court's dignity. The change would
make easier court officers’ rela-
tions with the public since the
title will aptly descripe the job.

Up to the Members to Aid

“The Association and ~The

themselves to do their share and

Mr, Lamb asked the prison

was only a rhetorical question, of
course. Then he added: “Have
you yourself done anything to
help relieve the situation? Pos-
sibly not, because, like the rest
of us, you've been waiting for
something to be done for you.”

He mentioned that statistics

IT’S LATE, but here it is for
the record.

On December 13, the Safety
Section of the Bureau of Motor
Vehicles, Albany, opened a lively
Christmas party with a humorous
parody of the Whiffenpoof song
in which all of the attendees par-
ticipated.

Alfred Weisbard, Master of
Ceremanies, set a fast pace for the
entertainment, In rapid succes-
sion, a monologue was rendered by
Florence Stott; a pantomine of
the record "All I Want For Christ-
mas Is My Two Front Teeth” was
offered by Mary Rose Zobre; a
parody of “There Must Be A Way”
sung by Dolores Rings; a quartette
of Walter Jones, Roger Rivet,
Percy Caplan and Fred Brenau
sang a medley of old songs and a
skit was presented by Alfred
Weisbard and W. Lee McCollough.

Peg Drury stole the show with
her rendition of “T'was the Night
Before Christmas,” (a satire of
the work in the review section).
Happy LaMay furnished
music. Santa Claus (William
Mills) distributed gifts to all the

“good little children.” The dinner)

was excellent! And the Party —
a delightful memory!

Employees Don't Like
Being Made ‘Tools’

HE recent. pronunciamentos of top NYE officials con-

cerning the financial aspects of City government are
all well and good, They are having an entirely laudable in-
fluence in causing wide public discussion.

These documents have an especial importance for
the City’s employees, because they all talk about these
employees, all cry bitter tears about the sad plight of'
employees, and none does anything to help the employees
when they need help—which is right now!

A random canvass of public employees reveals these
attitudes that should be of interest to the politicos:

1, City workers seriously resent being used as “tools”
in the endeavor by City officers to obtain new taxing pow-
ers;

2. They resent equally the tactic of some officials,
who admit—often in maudlin phrases—that the employ-
ees must be helped; and then tack on a big and maybe
insuperable “if’’—such as if the City gets more State aid.

8. While these employees recognize the need for
mew revenues, they are utterly displeased with the spe-

tain that the proposed increases were inadequate a year
ago, are even more inadequate now, and will be still more
inadequate next July.

4. They are unwilling to continue subsidizing the
City forever, and say that such matters as the recent
demonstration by firemen in front of City Hall ie only
a mild foretaste of what is to come, if their burdens are
not soon relieved,

NYC officials had better not look too lightly upon this
situation.

Filling the Job
By Lie-Detector

E like the sharp words of U. S. Senator Wayne

Morse in denouncing the practice of some U.S. agen-

cies who subjected prospective employees to a lie detec-

tor test. Senator Morse properly pointed to such a practice

as not only abhorrent in itself, but that it is not consist-

ent with “the liberty and freedom of persons who are
seeking a Government job.”

Indications of the sorry state which has been reached
in some quarters, is this fact: Chairman Robert Rams-
peck of the U. 8. Civil Service Commission didn’t even
know that the polygraph was being used!

Robert A, Lovett, Secretary of Defense, has pro-
hibited the use of the polygraph in his department, after
Senator Morse’s protest. Good!

But that such a practice has been undertaken at all,
anywhere in the government of the United States, is a
matter to make every American citizen pause.

would cost him twice that. Big
Jim knows what it costs to live in
Washington, And Farley has his
eye in other directions.

Whom Would Liberals Support?

The Liberal Party’s stand will
be weighed with care by the Demo-
crats. The Democratic policy-
makers aren't going blithely to
reject Liberal Party support, as
they have on previous occasions.
That support would be available
to most of the Democrats on the
list: Wagner, Roosevelt, Mead, or
Ewing. The Liberals are not, how-
ever, particularly happy about
young Roosevelt's performance in
Congress or his absentee record,

Strong Vote-Puller

Bob Wagner Jr. has run four
races since 1938, winning thenr all.
In 1938, running for the State
Assembly on the same ticket with
his father (who was candidate for
U. S. Senate) this situation re-
sulted: Wagner, Sr. led the entire
State ticket by a wide margin.
Wagner, Jr., led his father by 150
yotes in his own district, In 1940,
“Young Bob" ran ahead of Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt in his own dis-
trict. That district's bounds went
from Tith street to 100th street
east of 3rd avenue—a teeming,
variegated, slum-filled district
containing in tight-packed proxi-
mity some of the nation's most
diverse racial groupings, The dis-
trict, the old 16th, has since been
altered.

Wagener spent four years in the
Army, part of the time as an aide
to War Secretary Robert P. Pat-
terson, and a number of years
abroad with various air force com-
mands. He is thus able to talk the
language of the veterans.

After his return to civilian life
in 1945, he was appointed by
Mayor O'Dwyer to the NYC Tax

Department of Housing and Build-
ings,
City Planning Commission.
When he ran for Borough Presi-
dent in 1948, he swamped his Re-
publican opponent, Oren Root,
winning by some 250,000 votes,
His vote-pulling record, on the
local level, is thus like his father's
on the State level. The elder Wag-
ner led the State ticket four times,
running ahead of the late FDR in

Simonetti-Costello Wrangle

Young Bob Wagner pulled him-
self smartly out of what might
have been a tough and lasting poli-
tical handicap last year. Here's
the story, One of his appointees, a
Tammany district leader named
Angelo Simonetti, had been men-
tioned by Frank Costello before
the Kefauver Committee, as an
acquaintance. Simonetti imme-

diately came to Wagner and told

his own accord. Wagner, who
wouldn’t fire a man on what might
have been unfounded charges,
came out of the fracas looking like
a fair-minded politician,

Worked With His Father

During the elder Wagner's years
as United States Senator,

Bob lived with him in Washing
ton, and during his father’s illness
performed many of the Senator's
tasks for him, The liberal philo~
sophy which animated the father
is part of his son's political oute
look.

‘His Viewpoint

“The Democratic Party has to
emphasize,” he says, “that while
international issues are import-
ant, we've got to keep our eye on
the domestic ball, too, and not
lose some of our democracy at
home. No matter how great our
foreign problems are, we can’t let
the enemies of democracy get
away with racial discrimination
at home. We have to fight for
more and better housing. There's
a drive to cut down the rights of
labor, The Democrats have to re=
sist that drive, In times of hysteria
like the present, the rights of free
speech are attacked. We can't al-
low McCarthyism to become a way
of life here. We must make our
nation strong on the international
front, but we must also keep our
democracy strong at home. There
has got to be planning for the
time when we can slow down our
armament program. Suppose we
have an unemployment problem
then? How will we take care of
our unemployed?”

Continuing, he says: “The
Democratic Party must be the
party of progress. If the people
want a conservative party, they'll
|go to the GOP.”

That sounds like New Deal talk
back in the thirties, like his father
expounding basic liberal principles,
Ts it powerful enough in 1952, in
a new and different world, to elect
him Senator? Wagner thinks Yes,

Who's for Him?

Wagner has always received a
j Sood press. Even though he is an
outspoken New Dealer in his views,
the potent conservatively-oriented
New York Daily News, with the
Jargest circulation in the United
States, is friendly to him. Wagner
has been singularly free of the
kind of attack to which nearly
jevery other figure in New York

City public life is regularly sub-
Jected.

Two individuals close to Wagner
have been guiding his public rela-
tions. One of them is Charles
Hand, an astute practitioner of
the art of public-opinion molding.
The other is Nelson Seitel, an in=
telligent research mentality, who
has been with Wagner since the
Borough President's Assembly

jays.

When Wagner's people go into
caucus they know that they can
count on the good-will of the
State's biggest Democratic poos
bahs. It may or may not be of
significance that when State
Democratic chairman Paul EB
Fitzpatrick last week listed the
potential Democratic Senate can-
|didates, Wagner's name was fir:
}on the list. Vincent Dailey, one
op party strategists, and Jim

are Farley, wouldn't oppose Wagner's
the choice as the candidate. He is high

WHAT EVERY EMPLOYEE SHOULD KNOW

HOW MUCH SERVICE IS NEEDED FOR PROMOTION?

employee should be required

to review.
6 Month te 36 Months

1946, only six months of service
as Title Examiner were required
for eligibility. In the 1951 exam,
three years of such experience
were required. Some Title Exam-
iners who had more than six
months but less than thirty-six
months service brought suit to

the} dural law. It urged that only time
and experience

have the six months requirement

that the Increase in the require-
ment had not resulted from a
sound or fair exercise of discretion
and was unfair, discriminatory,
arbritary and capricious.

in_ reviewing this contention,
the Court took note of a communi-
cation addressed to the State Civil
Service Commission by the At-

Emergency Dictated

Lower Requirements
Referring to the lower require-
ment for the last promotion ex-
amination, the Attorney-General
explained that then, due to the
creation of a new bureau in the
Law Department, the number of
Title Examiners had of necessity

been greatly increased and the
need for a larger force of Title At-

staff had been urgent and impera-
tive. There had been no way to
obtain the required number of
‘Title Attorneys save by reducing
to a minimum the prior service
requirements for admission to the
earlier exam. He concluded by
urging that the policy dictated by
the previous emergency should

cause adequate field from

Was noW available.

Reasonable Basis For
New Requirements

The Court, after stating that
omunis~

the L-certy Civil Service C
sion had adopted the
Attorney-General's

deliberation, and for the reasons
given, quoted a recent Court of
Appeals declaration that “In the
absence of some express limita-
tion the action of the Commission
in fixing such tests must stand,
unless it is so clearly,irrevelant
and unreasonable as be pal-
pably indefensible and improper.
If any fair, reasonable argument
may be made to sustain the ac-
tion, the courts should not inter-
fere, even though they may differ
from the commission as to its ad-
visability.”

Holding that the State Civil
Service Commission’s action in
fixing the three years requirement
was not discriminatory, arbitrary
or capricious, the Court dismissed
the proceeding. (Patent v, Con-

primer would have it—on how to
answer inquiries about what routes
to take.

Secretary William Jerome Daly
is author of the primer.

Employees are informed “never
to tell any one to ‘take’ the sub-
way, trolley, or bus.” It is prefer-
able, states the primer, to sa;
“Use the (Washington Heights ex-
press ‘A'" or “Travel on the BMT
Brighton Line,” or ‘Board a Smith

inquirer should be
formed” because—

“Never ‘advise’ the public, ‘In-
form’ or ‘report’ is preferred. On-
ly professional persons, such as
engineers, doctors, jurists, lawyers,
or clergymen advise.

How to Address Leters

Stenographers and typists are
informed how to address envelopes
and letters, use carbon sheets and
stencils, keep the filing system's in-
tegrity unblemished, are given in-
formation on proper performance
of other office duties, as well as
being warned away from cliches
and long sentences or paragraphs.
Also, employees are told. “Keep
yourself informed about public af-
fairs.

“in-

Courtesy to All

Courtesy toward all is stressed,
including nice acknowledgements
even to complainants who are
wrong. If somebody seeking in-
formation or making a complaint
addresses a letter to the Board,
though it should have gone else-
where, the pattern is to forward
the letter to the department that
should get it, and notify the writ-
er on what's been done. When a
request has to be denied “it is al-
ways soothing and good public
relations to say: ‘It is with regret
that this office (or Board) is re-
quired to report’ and then break
the sad news gently.

Although the current firema:

400 names remain, will not expire
by operation of law until Septem-
ber 13, 1953, the number of ap-

intments during the interven-

ie 20 Rech based on Rg 2s
year previous average, woul
about 420. Therefore the
would die, after its four-year life,
[bog about 4,000 names remain-
ing.

Meanwhile eligibles have to de-
cide whether or not to accept ap-
a be for any other jobs that

might be offered to fireman eligi-
bles. The list is occasionally de-
clared appropriate for filling jobs
in a limited scope of other titles.

The decision would be governed
in many instances by the candi-
date’s standing on the list and
whether he wants to gamble on
an upswing in appointments. If
any emergency should arise, the
number of appointments would far
exceed the annual average of 247,
Also, any sizeable increase in the
draft quotas would improve job
opportunities for those not sub-
dect to early call. Those drafted
would have appointment rights on
their discharge from military ser-

vice.
New Exam Seon

The NYC Civil Service Commis-
sion is to receive applications in
a new fireman exam early this
year. It is expected, in the light of
the increase in applications gen-
erally for Federal, State and City
Jobs, that more than 20,000 will

Each candidate in the new
exam is doubly compelled to pre-
pare himself to the utmost, so that
he gets high on the list. If a vet-
eran, he gets 5 points added to
his earned score; if a disabled vet-
eran, 10 points. Neither can use
veteran preference benefit more
than once, and even then not to
help him achieve the pass mark.
First he must pass the written test

the only other competitive test,
the physical. The points are add-
ed to the final average.

No Easy Test Expected

The maximum age is 29, For
veterans the age is higher, by the
length of time they spent in the

Faces Reclassification

ALBANY, Jan. 21 — The State
Civil Service Commission has
under consideration approval of
a reclassification of the Dental
Service in NYC. A_ resolution
adopted by the NYC Civil Service
Commission was approved by
Mayor Vincent R, Impellitteri and
sent to the State Commission,

The NYC Commission had in-
tended to receive applications | 64
from January 8 to 23, for senior
dentist, to $6,500, especially to
fill NYC Health Department jobs,
However,
hold off until the reclassification
goes through, so that there would
be no doubt about the pay.

If the State Commission ap-
proves the resolution, the NYC
Commission would be prepared to

go ahead with the test. It is be-| 0!

lieved here that the resolution will
be approved. Within not more than
two months thereafter, and possi-
bly in a matter of weeks, the test
would be included in a NYC series,

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

Fire Officers, Firemen
Unite on Legislation

The NYC Uniformed Fire Offi-
cers Association, of which Batta-
Non Chief Gilbert X. Byrne is

resident, and the Uniformed

iremen’s Association, headed by
Howard P. Barry, are united on a
six-point legislative program,
Some of the bills already have
been introduced; all but one of
them are ,expected to be in the
Albany hopper before the week is
out.

Senator Seymour Halpern and
Assemblyman Louis A. Cioffi have
introduced on behalf of the joint
organizations a bill for overtime
Pay at time-and-a-half rates.

Heart Ailments

Another bill would require NYC

to recognize as service-connected (7

any heart ailment suffered by a
member of the uniformed force of
the Fire Department who entered
the department with his heart in
good condition. All candidates
have to pass the heart test, on
becoming firemen, so the bill in-
ferentially would apply to all
members of the uniformed force.
Eight states have enacted similar
legislation. Six years ago the UFA
had a bill introduced in Albany to
the same effect.
Gas Mask Bill

Senator Paul D. Graves and
Assemblyman Harry Morr are
sponsors of a bill requiring all
cities that have paid fire depart-
ments to which appointment is
made from competitive lists
provide gas masks for their fire-
fighters. A similar bill, backed by
the NYC fire groups, passed the

Senate and the Assembly last year, |

Governor Thomas E. Dewey
vetOved it because it was broader
in s¢®pe and he feared the cost
would be a burden on small lo-
calitifis, This time the small lo-
calilfes are not
meagure.

Widows’ Pensions

‘Another bill, sponsored by Sen-
ator Thomas Desmond and Assem-
‘blyman Morr, provides for a
widow's pension of 30 per cent of
salary. Now the figure is $600 a
year. This bill is Assembly Intro-
ductory No, 51. A message of ne-
cessity is required from the Mayor
Vincent R. Impellitteri or the
pols Council before a vote can be

en,
The fifth bill would provide for
® mandatory pay raise of 30 per

affected by the

cent, but hasn't yet been intro-

duced. Meanwhile. attempts to ne-
gotiate or otherwise accomplish
an immediate raise are being
made, and introduction of the bill
has therefore been temporarily
withheld.

‘The sixth bill would require the
City to fill all vacancies in the
uniformed force of the Pire De-

ment within 60 days, and if

ere is no eligible list, an exam

to provide such a list must be held

within 90 days. Senator Rath will

introduce this bill in the Senate,
Eligibles Meet

The UFOA held a meeting of
promotion eligibles, who heard a
report from President Byrne of a
conference with Budget Director
jomas J. Patterson on providing
promotions for the six remaining
eligibles on the captain list which
expires on February 11. Mr, Patter-
son was reported favorably dis-
posed to increasing the quota to
enable the promotions and will see
the Mayor about it, in time for

Estimate. Fire Commissioner Jacob
Grumet requested the budget mod-
ification several weeks ago,

Also, an attempt is being made
to have the Pension Board meet
on Pebruary 7, a few days carter
than ordinarily, so that any re-
tirement applications may be act-
ed on in time for any resultant
captain vacancies to be filled
from the list. Either method, or
both, would be  satisfactor
spokesman for the eligibles sal
provided the six eligibles realized
their lifelong ambition to become
captains,

Membership Meeting

The UFOA will hold a member-
ship meeting at the Hotel Martini-
que on Thursday, January 24 at
8 p.m. It is expected to bring out
& record attendance. The main
topic is to be a salary increase.
The UFOA’s plan of action on
raises, in the light of today’s sit-
uation, is expected to be vote

Question, Please —

IF I RETIRE from my NYC
job on a pension, could I get my
name put on a preferred eligible

to| list, so that if I want to return to

work I may do 50?—-E. A.

No preferred eligible lists of the
type you describe are established.
Preferred eligible lists are nearly
always of persons who have
been laid off because of not enough
work, or in other instances mili-
tary lists. However, a retired em~-
ployee could get back, if he passed
an open-competitive test and was
reached for appointment, or if he
could get a department head to
recall him to the same or « similar

) which would require approval

‘the Civil Service Commission,
On return to City service, the pen-
sion would be suspended.

Labor Class Promotions
AS I AM in the Labor Class, and
would like to hold a higher job, I
was looking for some promotion
exams, but don’t see any, Can I

vice?—J.P.0.

Study Aids for NYC
Railroad Clerk Test

The ps gaan begins a weekly
dg special articles The
LEADER will publish on Le ype ie
tion for the NYC railroad clerk
exam. Analysis of the last exam
will be followed by other study
material for the test.

WHILE no special education or
training is needed to apply for
the NYC railroad clerk exam, if
the coming test is like its prede-
cessors, it will not be a pushover,
For instance, 40 of the 100 ques-
tions in the last test dealt with
rules and regulations of the Board
of Transportation. They concerned
what a railroad clerk should do
under 40 different circumstances,
It can be expected that duties will
constitute an important part of
the new test.

Travel was the second subject
in order of importance, with 19
questions, The candidates were
asked to tell an inquirer what
train to get from one specified
place to another, and where trans-
fers are issued, or what are the
terminals of certain rapid transit
Iines in NYC. The terminal ques-
tion got quite a play.

Arithmetic Got Big Play

Arithmetic, as was to be ex-
pected in an exam for jobs in
which money has to be handled,
counted, and reported in writing,
played a big part. There were
14 questions on that. The arith-
metic was easy, but some of the
quesions made one stop and think,
because they involved two opera-

tions.
The Board is seeking bright
candidates and the NYC Civil

Service Commission may be ex-
pected to include a goodly num-
ber of intelligence questions. In
the last test there were 16 of
these. They are the kind that are
answerable on the basis of knowl-
edge or judgement and are used
to determine whether the candi-
date can meet emergencies by ex-
ercising judgment, or, in gen-
eral, can think out the solution of
@ problem posed by simple cir-
cumstances.
Greater Need for Study

‘The drop was considerable, after
the intelligence grouping, with
five questions on the location of
important public buildings, three
on equipment, two on organiza-
tion of Board functions as they
might affect a railroad clerk, and
one on NYC geography.

The considerable response that
the Commission is getting from ap-
plicants indicates that close study
of the rules and regulations of
the Board, as affecting the opera-
ting division, and railroad clerks
particularly, is of extreme im-

portance, and that a study must
be made of the rapid transit
routes (subways and elevated
lines), particularly subways. One
should know, in general, how best
to get in fastest time from one
part of the City to another, and
where the terminals of NYC rapid
transit lines are located. For in-
stance, if one had answered cor-
rectly all the questions on rules
and regulations, travel and arith-
metic, he would have attained 75
per cent, The pass mark was 70
per cent. It is the same in the
current test, for which applica-
tions will be received by the Com-
mission at 96 Duane Street, Two
blocks north of City Hall, just
west of Broadway, until Wednes-
day, January 30, at 4 pm. On
Saturday, closing time is noon.
Rules and regulations, travel
and intelligence, and arithmetic
accounted for 89 questions out
of the 100.

The First Six Questions
‘The first questions in the last
exam dealt with organization. It
asked candidates, as did the other
questions, to select or pick one
of four optional answers as the
“best.” In the present exam the
request will be phrased differ-
ently, to avoid legal difficulties the
Commission faced in asking only
for the “best” answer in some
other previous test, The first ques-
tion:

1, RR Clerks are classified as
part of the (A) Transportation
Dept. (B) Bureau of Revenue Re-
ceipts (C) Maintenance of Way
Dept

The scond question might ap-
pear to deal with rules and regu-
lations, but is answerable on the
basis of intelligence. The ques-
tion:
2. Employees must know the
rules and regulations governing
their jobs so that they may (A)
justify mistakes (B) forsee all
emergencies (C) avoid antagon-
izing their superiors (D) perform
their duties properly.
Another

answer by using judgment, was:
3. The change board light in a

the light is directed (A) down-|
ward (B) forward toward front’
window (C) upward (D) back-
ward at the RR Clerk in the
booth.
Should Know City

The next question required
knowing,that Delancy Street is
in Manhattan and Prospect Park
in Brooklyn, as well as the sub-
way route to get from the first
place to the second:

4. A person desiring to use the
IND Division to go from Delancy
Street to Prospect Park should

Express (B) Queens-Manhattan-
Brooklyn Express (C) Queens-
Brooklyn Local (D) Concourse Ex-

tong question. It asked, in effect,
many times does 5 go into
200, 10 into 100 and 25 into 200,
with the selection of the right
number of times one quantity
goes into another. The three other
options are wrong,

5. A Rit Clerk having $2.00 in
nickels, $1.00 in dimes and $2.00
in quarters has (A) twice as many
nickels as dimes (B) twice as
many quarters as dimes (C) five
times as many nickels as quarters
(D)) the same number of nickels
as quarters.

Another question on rules and
regulations:

6. Lost articles turned over to
employees by passengers must be
sent to the lost property office
(A) immediately without examin-
ation (B) as soon as practicable
(Cc) the next day (D) immedi-
ately after they are examined.

Tt can be seen that the rules
and regulations must be studied,
for there is practically no way to
guess the answers to such ques-
tions, The rules may be anything
that the Board provides, so how
could one possibly tell, without
knowing? It would still be pos-
sible to guess, but rather danger-
ous; also there's no need for
guessing. The LEADER study m:
terial will include rules and regu-
lations,

An enthusiastic meeting of Ia-

borers employed in — various
NYC departments heard Jerry
Wurf, general _ representative,

American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees,
voice confidence that their pay
difficulties would be satisfactorily
solved soon.

Comptroller Lazarus Joseph is
surveying the pay of laborers and
is expected to introduce a resolu-
tion in the Board of Estimate, Mr.
Wurf told 800 laborers who at-
tended a rally in Werdermann’s
Hall last Wednesday evening.
The meeting unanimously
adopted a resolution supporting
the project for which the AFL
union's negotiating committee is
fighting, to establish a $3,500-a-
year salary, with $2 a day back
‘pay from the date of filing claims
with the Comptroller,

Wurf Reports on Conferences
Many questions from the floor
were answered by speakers. Most
of the questions dealt with condi-
tions under which back pay would
likely be granted.

Mr. Wurf told the gathering
that the committee had confer-
red with Comptroller Joseph,
Council President Rudolph Halley,
and Brooklyn Borough President
John Cashmore, and had talked
with other members of the Board
on the telephone, but that no re-
sponse had been received from

The committee, all of whose
members spoke, consists of Thomas
Brennan, Department of Parks;

Charles Egbert, Water Supply,
Gas and Electricity; Pasquals
D'Amato, Hospitals; Michael

Strammielo, Sanitation; Dominick
Genovese, Board of Education;
Pasquale Saele, Public Works,
and Thomas Pugnette, Marine &

William Evans of the union's
headquarters staff presided.

Expects 3,000 More Members

Meetings of departmental groups
were held after the main meeting.
Some additional departments
were organized, Mr. Wurf re-
ported, including Purchase, Ma-
rine & Aviation and sewer work-
ers on Staten Island.

Dues Collection

The dues collection at the main
meeting was unexpectedly heavy,
Ushers had to use paper bags into
which they dropped the money
fast and handed out receipts
while aides sharpened new pen-
ceils. The next day at the union's
office the staff postponed luncheon
ees the task was finished, at

p.m,

Mr. Wurf said that the drive is

expected to increase membership
by at least 3,000.

The large response to NYC's
call for candidates for railroad
clerk jobs brought into prominence
the question of eligibility of those
who do not live in NYC, The exam

order, in addition, would depend
on their standing on the list.
The problem was confusing to
some who knew of NYC employees
who don’t live within the City
limits, These employees are vet-
erans and were in City eraploy
when they joined the armed
forces. On their return, they
pleaded that they couldn’t find a
place in NYC in which to live,
The NYC Civil Service Commis-
sion broadened its regulations to
permit them to retain their jobs.
But no approval is given to job
applicants who don’t meet the
three-year NYC residence law,
for original appointment to City
service. The Commission admits
that it enforces this law strictly
and that there have been some
heart-breaking cases,

In a letter to Comptroller La-
zarus Joseph, the NYC Civil Ser-
vice Commission voiced resent-
ment over accusations directed
against it by Hospitals Commis-
sioner Marcus D. Kogel. Mr.
Joseph is chairman of the Mayor's
Committee on Management Sur-
vey. The letter was addressed to
him because he presided at a hear-
ing at which Dr, Kogel presented

discussing recommendations made
by a group that had surveyed the
Hospitals Department for the com-
mittee. At the same time Dr, Ko-
gal called the Commission's
methods archaic and said it was
sending him the wrong type of
personnel,
Misleading

President James 8. Watson and
Commissioners Paul P. Brennan
and Paul A. Pino called Dr. Ko-
gel’s statements in reference to
the Commission “misleading or
inaccurate” and “a distorted pic-
ture of the activities of this Com-
mission in relation to his depart-
ment.”

when he asked for a mechanic he | that he couldn't get a physicist

plained, as The LEADER predict- |

ed two weeks ago, that the budget
line was maintenance man, and
that’s what Dr, Kogel got. If he
desires a carpenter, a plumber or
an electrician, and has a budget
certificate for one, that’s what
he'll get, the Commission stated.

The three Civil Service Com-

missioners declared that of the 28,-|

000 Hospitals Department em-
ployees, three-quarters are in the
non-competitive class “therefore
selected by Dr. Kogel in the first
instance,” The remaining 7,000 are
selected by competitive or Labor
Class exams.
Type of Personnel

To the complaint that the de-
partment wasn’t getting the high
type of professional personnel it
requires, the Commission answered
that he had mentioned only phy-
sicist jobs. The problem had to do
with insufficient pay to attract
the type of candidates Dr. Kogel
wants, rather than any activities
of the Commission, was the reply.

the same reply was made, and in
addition, the statement that
there are not enough persons to
fill radiological needs. The mini-
mum requirements for this job
were established only after con-
sultation with the Hospitals De-
partment, the three Commission-
ers wrote,

‘The Commission denied that it
was hamstringing the Hospitals
Department, sympathized with Dr,
Kogel because of the many per-
|sonnel problems he faces, but said
that personnel difficulties “are due
primarily to an economic situation
which faces the country at large
and over which the Commission
has no control.”

Pat DeMurio, the highly ef-

Association, engaged in his
favorite sport — bowling —
performed a feat never before
heard of. He was bowling in a
regular match game in the Elks
Bowling League, The first game
he knocked the pins for a total
of 204, Nothing unusal ,about
that, you say, The second game
he had a score of 204. Yes, that
was a bit strange, two scores
exactly alike, The third game—
@ recount, and another recount
—but there it was, 204 for the
third consecutive time!

Yes, the total for the three
games was 612.

el
Charles R. Culyer is working in

NYC and is in touch with the
NYC chapter office every day, The
NYC chapter has 61 members on
its executive committee and they
represent about 45 departments
and units of State government.

In one department alone, DPUI,
there are more than 40 offices.
Mr, Culyer has recently visited
some, will visit all.

He has visited almost all de-
partments or units on membership
problems, including the 14 chap-
ters in the Metropolitan Confer-
ence.

He has also been spending some
time every week in Nassau County,
working with the Nassau chapter;
and the Suffolk Chapter has been
visited during the past week,

He is holding membership meet-
ings in the nine Rent Control of-
fices, This is all new membership

Prison Bakers

ALBANY, Jan, 21 — John F.
Williams, of Great Meadows Pris-
on, Comstock, has conferred with
J. Earl Kelly, Director of Classifi-
cation and Compensation, to urge
that bakers in the State prison
service be so classified and allo-
cated as to reflect the importance
of the position.

Mr, Williams pointed out that
under present policy, regardless of
the extent of duties and responsi-
bilities, bakers and certain other
employees have their titles and
salaries based largely upon the

Ask Raise

population of the institution. This
plan overlooks the greater respon-
sibility and duties devolving upon
the single cook who must not only
plan the needed bake goods for all
meals and be responsible for their
quality, ordering of supplies, ete.
but must supervise a substanti
number of prison inmates who as-
sist with the large baking service

State Insurance Fund

THE BOWLING LEAGUE at
the State Insurance Fund, NYC,
moved into action again after a
long holiday recess and the pins
went flying. The Orphans re-
mained at the head of the League
and after the last ball was thrown
that night led it by 7 points. Even
though a fighting Payroll team
took the first game, the Orphans
came back to win the other two
and to win 3 points and to stay
at the top.

Bert Profeta of Personnel took
individual high score honors for
the night with a high score game

9 | Of 214. His other scores of 157 and

181 for an average for the evening
of 181 led his team to triumph
over the Medical contingent and
to their jump in the standings to
4th_ place,

‘The team standings as of the
January 8th meeting are as fol-

lows:

Team highs for the night went
to Claims Srs., 894, and to Ac-
counts 870 and 899. Responsible
in good measure for the two high
games of the Accounts was Bill
Price who bowled only in these two
games for @ score of 187 in each,
for the best average of the even=
ing. That team must be pretty
well loaded with talent if it can
dispense with the services of such
a bowler for one game!
