Cost of the proposal, which was
recommended by the White House
Committee on Scientists and Engt-
neers, is estimated at $4,500,000
a year, The Commission would
have the authority to determine
which positions fall in the short-
age categories. The legislation
would be limited to a five-year
period and would cover only jobs
in the continental United States
und Alaska.

The Commission pointed out
that a recent survey of factors
which influenced persons not to
accept Government scientific and
engineering positions shows that
more than 50 percent of those who
declined Federal appointments
said that one of their reasons was
the failure of the Government to

First to Suffer in Crisis

The civil servant has always been sensit the role he 4s
continually asked to play at the moment of any fiscal crisis in the
public eranomy. When taxes need to be reduced, it has seemed that
one of the easiest ways to do it is to cut the public servant's payroll.
On infinite occasions, all public officials recognize ally the worth
of the public servant, He ts extolled and eulogized and called In-

TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 1958

Assault on Pay Raise
Blow to Civil Service
uring 1958 it is assumed that there will be large

1 D aks celebrations of the 75th birthday of the crea-
tion of civil service system in the State of New York. Al-
ready there has been a great deal said about the merit
system and any number of tributes have been paid — and
will be paid — to the civil servant and his contribution
to the development of our great State.

If there is any sincerity in these salutes the State
employee is certainly being handed one hell of a birthday
present — a decision by the majority leaders in the State
Legislature to kill even the minimal pay raises proposed
by Gov. Averell Harriman in his 1958 budget.

We also call this a hell of a way to beat the Russians, |

The civil servant has become an ever more vital
part of the race for superiority, Government has the res-
ponsibility of protecting our future and the Government
functions through the work of its civil servants.

The GOP action, should it be carried through, will
deliver a severe shock not only to the morale of the
State service but also to the recruitment of new blood
In public employment.

Last year the Republican Jeaders found innumerable
reasons why State employees should be given a raise.
This year they can see none — even when the State's own
surveys show there is a need for salary increases and
the State Civil Service Employees Association has argued
and heavily documented the proof for needed pay boosts,

Such an irresponsible attitude will effect not only the
employees but the citizenry as well by weakening of the
service.

So save your salutes, boys. They're going to be a
little hard to swallow,

Health Insurance Choice

OME months ago, New York State employees were
given a choice of health insurance plans designed to
fit the varied medical needs of famiiles,

That this choice of programs met with unqualified
success is testified to by the fact that more than 85 per-
cent of the State employees selected one of three pro-
grams to fit their health needs.

At present, New York City employees have a single
plan, It's a good one.

However, no person has the same problems, medical
or otherwise, and a more elastic approach is needed.

We suggest that the City study the New York State
Pprogram—which was termed the most liberal and com-
prehensive in the nation by the U.S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare—in order to come to a newer un-
derstanding of the health insurance field.

A choice of plans would not increase City government
expenditures for this benefit, yet could provide the em-

Ployees with a wider and more comprehensive kind of
medical care,

The State program was prepared mainly by the em-
yees themselves through their spokesmen In the Civil

rvice Employees Association. They got what they want-
ad. New York City employees are entitled to no less,

regarding pay, please allow me to

As psychiatric social workers,
we are asking your assistance in

In the January 28 edition of

allocation and/or salary increases

| 19 grades of classified service. In
jletters written to Granvill Hills
| director of Personnel Administra-
| Hon, we went on record in sup-
Port of reclassification of social
Workers in the Department of
Mental Hygiene. This reclassifica-
tion of social workers would in-
elude proper financial eompensa~
tion for education and experience.
Tt is our understanding that this
reclassification hus reached the
Office of the Business Adminis-
trator; however, we do not know
whether this proposal has been
acted spon or advanced through
the proper channels for final ac-
eeptance.

The Need to Industrialize Government

WHEN THE PRESSURE is too much, even government must
yield, That's why the leaders of employee organizations, in seeking
deserved gains for their members, never }t up. Government is slow
to move and puts up all sorts of excuses for inertia, but finally, ex-
hausted of all its devices, has to give up,

Right now the hiring of scientists, engineers and other trained
personnel in the shortage ¢ategory constitutes the severcst recruit~
ment problem. The Federal government, finding itsclf outsmarted by
private industry, finally has had to meet competition, snd will pay
| the moving expenses of perfovs it hires in selected categories, includ-
ing such expenses for meoers of the Hew employee's immediate
family. Moreover, it will pay the cost of an inspection trip by a pros-
pective employee hovering between acceptance and rejection of «a
job offer, +» he can find out if he likes the kind of equipment and
| people with whom he must work, and inquire about suitable lving

|

Helen | Warters for his family and himvelf. This, too, indusiry has been

doing right along, It is comm ndsble that the Federal government
| 4s following mit but would have been more commendable had tt been
paving the way.

t Move to Avoid Humiliation

The necessity of coping with this particular situation strikes
home in a most uncomfortable and humiliating way, The hiring of
such personnel has a relationship to our nation’s record in the race
to Conquer outer space.

If Russia registers one first after another, and we trail with a
modest-scale repetition, or keep firing dud rockets, the ignominy may
be traced to money, It can not be said that in the United States the
required brains ate lacking, Then how can it be said that the nation
| Jacks the money, when it ls passing !t out in carload lots around the
| world? The answer is that the Federal government has no choice;
| ¥ must spend enough to accomplish more than enough,

Even United States Senators and Representatives fvel the after
| effects, because thelr constituents back home want to know why Con-
| gress doesn't appropriate enough money to enable the United States
| to show the way. Thus the cause of recruitment in the upper echelons

of the classified service is well served by the popular voice.

Other Jobs Are Important, Too

‘The many, however, are in other jobs. They are not the specialists
nd experts in a field on which the eyes of an entranced world are
fixed, ‘They are policemen, firemen, clerks, typists, stenographers, in-
spectors, nurses, and the countless others, In Jobs that also present
recruitment problems. Money still ssems to be the miracle drug to
cure the affliction, and not a newly discovered remedy by any means,
| hence not one concerning the after-effects of which any government
| need worry. If paying salaries Insufficient to attract the quality and
quantity of candidates needed has caused an impasse, is not an
austerity budget a contradiction in terms?
| Chairman Harris Ellsworth of the U. 8. Civil Service Commis-
| sion, In announcing the moving-cost policy, sald that if fovernment
| does not meet the terms offered by private industry, “government
| falls to get the number of people it needs to do the important Jobs
that must be done.” It's as simple as that, But such a plain deduction
| does not apply merely to the type of jobs that Chairman Ellsworth
has in mind; he was thinking in terms of jobs connected with the
educated disciplines, the sciences, particularly electronics and nuclear
| physics, Other jobs are also important. When there's a robber In the
house the most important Job is not that of a nuclear physicist but

INX and T want to tell you about the most

You'll find couples who've moved to Pioridas
‘whether to retire in comfortable ease or ral

Florida has come to represent to both of us ®

Const to the Tropical East Coast could choos
from among Miami, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale,
Sarasota, Vero Beach or Punta Gorda — not to
mention the dozens of new communities springs

‘Then, on my last visit, driving south from
Barasota, I saw with my own eyes the most
fabulous development we had ever seen anye
|where. This was Port Charlotte, which Jing
Temembered reading about in magazines like
| Life, Look and the Ssturday Evening Post.

Imagine almost 45 miles of azure coast lin
seeing giant machines completing the job ol
turning Port Charlotte into a paradise of blue
waterways, parks and playgrounds, The
clincher came when we stopped to talk with
some of the hundreds of families alrendy ree
Siding here at Port Charlotte.

WE MEET THE PEOPLE LIVING AT PORT CHARLOTTE
Tex, the fish practically leap out of the
water to grab your line Joyful fisherman
told me. He said he was 74, had moved to
Florida when he retired on Social Security
nine years ago, and had settled in Port Chare
lotte six months ago,

And a woman who had moved here from
New York just a month ago, looked up from

her gardening and T only wish we had
come ago,” (And no wonder,
T tho absolutely lovely sh
looked, tanned face. frames

ggainat a glowing background of exotic red,
yellow and burgundy tropical flowers.)

So it was that Jinx and I came to moet the
developers and builders of Port Charlotte

‘The Mackle organization — now run by
Elliot, Robert and Prank Mackle — was
founded over 50 years ago by their fathe

opers in the South, Meeting these three me:
Visiting their astonishingly beautiful ne
homesite areas, proved to be the guarantee of

‘The Mackle brothers plan and build with an
eye to the future, safeguarding the rights and
Privileges of every homenite owner — present

of a model community that will have schools,

everything from yachts to outboard runabouts,
In addition, there will be clubhouses with
meeting rooms and lounges and economical
homes that will be miracles of comfort, cons

A MASTER PLAN OF EASY STAGES STARTS YOU TOWARD
‘A FUTURE LIFE OF CASE

And perhaps the most amazing part of the

Mackie Master Plan is the way it enables you

to plan for your future retirement in easy

stages ~ now!

At both Port Charlotte, and the Mackles’
newest development, Sebastian Highlands, we
saw vacationers purchasing homesites — @
full 80° by 125°; that's 10,000 square feet, or @
full quarter acre — at prices from $795 to $995,
And these remarkably low prices are the ace

choice locations in the most fabulous homes

And. bec: any folks won't be ready to

be purchased in easy stages for just $10 down

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

eee ee
At a meeting held recently by the Non-Teaching Section of
Nassau chapter, CSHA, tt was brought out that among the many
abuses in some school districts, a very Important problem Was school
children doing the work of cleaners and custodians at 5c per hour
or In fact In one case doing the work for nothing, It seems to us
that school children should be school children and the work of cleaner
and custodian should be left to adults trained for the Job. Tt also
seems to us that this is just a means for the school districts in ques-
tion to eventually replace adult, experienced cleaners and custodians
with children, It 1s Just another shortsighted way of saving money
for the School District at the expense of the non-teaching employes.
If this condition éxists in any other School Districts in the State

please let The Leader know through the School Gaze column and |,

together an effort will be made to eradicate this despleable and un-
wholesome condition

In Nassau County we still have somewhat of a problem of the
non-teaching personnel working out of classification. A lot of work
has been done on this matter with the help of the Municipal Service
Division and some headway ts being made.

MENTAL HYGIENE MEMO
ty A. 4. COCCARO
When Security Becomes Insecurity

Since 1947, the standard of living in this country has steadily
mounted. During this period real earnings that show up in the em-
ployees pay check have also risen sharply, The average family income

| for 1957 was $5,300, The white collar workers, our people over 65, and
| our civil servants, all of whom pretty much live on fixed modest in-
| comes, have suffered and their security hus been threatened.

New York State's own reports and the Governor's speeches show
| that 20,000 of our employees have an entrance salary of $2,860 or be-
| low. In many eases both husband and wife must work to meet the
| national figure of $5,300.

The press and radio have startled us by reports of unemployment
Tt 1s more startling to know that many of these unemployed could be
off up to four months and still come home with the same annual
salary as our State workers, New unemployment insurance proposals
would insure these workers a take-home pay of $45 a week without
working, © pay figure close to the take-home pay of many of our
| hospital workers today.

| The Puture of the U 8.

| The United States is headed for boom years in the "60's even ex-
| ceeding those of past years, Our expanding population will call for
more homes, more cars, more furniture, food, and clothes, Our pop-
ulation will surpass the 200 million mark, The billtons of dollars
thrown into research since 1983 will show up in the ‘60's as it takes
about seven years from research to blueprint to full-scale produc-
tion. Our prestnt recession places us between two boom cycles and
has boon shortened by “Sputnik” and our increased defense spending

The Federal government also will increase employment through
local aid programs. Its control of credit through the Federal reserve
will also help stabilize our economy, Unemployment insurance and
spendable tncome from Social Security and private pensions also helps
in recessionary periods i.

National reports show that in 1975 the average family income
will rise from its present $5,300 to $7,500 » year. Our mandard of
living will rise os now products begin to come to the market at o
stuggering pace. Prices will continue to rise steadly even during this
sectasion period, On February 18 a Dun and Byadstrect food index
registered $6.59 compared with $6.52 & week earlier and $6.12 in the
same week in 1957.

The economic future of the U. 8. is quite clear, Growth, progress
and Increased industrial activity interrupted by short phases of un-
employment and business decline,

A large salary lag as expericnced by our State workers during the

| last decade, would make our employees & most insecure group of
citiwens In the future,
‘We appeal to the Governor and the New York State Legislature
to take these important factors into considera ®, 4 for it ts not too
late to do justice to our loyal State workers this year, their 75th
birthday.

would encournge the recruitment

T do not know the exact number |
of social work vacancies through-
out the State, but when the su-|
pervisors met together in Novem-
ber there were hospitals and clin-
fes that hud as many as 15
vacancies in them and the work
was being carried on by untrained

apprentice staff whenever they
were able to recruit even in this
category, Perhaps it would be
helpful if 1 indicated what our |

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

Tuesday, March 4, 1958

GOP Kills General Pay Raise

(Continued from Page 1)
the State prior to the 1957 ses-
sion indicated the necessity for
auch an Increase, The release of
the legisiative leaders of March
15, 1957, points this out detinitely
when It states: ‘The ry in-
ereases which would become ef-
fective April 1 conform substan-
tially to findings resulting from
® comprehensive study of the re-
lationship of present State sal~
a to those being paid by other
large employers in industry and
government. The study was made

by the State Civil Service Depart. | Prostam,, but rely primarily on the | Federal

Ment's Division of Classification
end Compensation.” |

“For 1958 the sume Division of
the snme State Department made
ita study on the same comprehen
sive basis that thoy did Inst year.
‘The only conclusion possible from
this study is that State salaries
are still far behind, A minimum
estimate of the State salary defi-
¢lency based on the 1958 salary
survey made by the State ts 5 per- |
cent, If the State salary survey
Was an objective criterion for sal-
ary adjustment in 1957 why Is it
ignored in 1958?

“The State employee ts no dif-
ferent from other citizens. He pays
taxes, he votes, he ts drafted, he is
punished for his crimes. He also
is required to pay his billa and
supports his family Just as any
other worker. The public servant
Ja essential sinos without him the
community and soctety could not
survive. His function may or may
not be glamorous but It {s necen-
sary |

“As always we hear the ory that |
the State aplary increase would
mean a tax rise. or that the mon.
ey ts needed some place else. In
@ budget of aver one billion eight
hundred million dollars the de-
letion of the State salary increase
would represent only four-tenths
ot one percent reduction of the
budget. Are not the other 99.6 per-
cent of almost two billion dollars
equally significant to the question
of tax increase or tax reduction?

“If the long standing and oft

extolled plan of equal pay for
equal work for te employees is
to be abandoned, we think the
People are entitled to be told so

frankly. If not, the facts herewith
submitted demand reconsideration
of the recent decision and a resto-
ration or revamping of the budget
out

‘The enclosures read as follows:

TEN FACTS ON STATE
SALARIES

| rata

tion of the level of State employ-
ees salaries is a purely subject~
ive matter not capable of objec-
tive determination, Nothing could
be farther from the fact. The pur-
pose of this paper is to show the
undeniable and indisputable facts | State salaries for 55 percent of
which demonstrate beyond a rea~| the titles surveyed at the mini-
sonable doubt that the State’s|mum of the salary range and 60
pay plan requires immediate up-| percent at the maximum of the
ward adjustment, We have delib- | aslary range. The Pederal govern-
erately refrained herein from us-| ment exceeds New York State for
ing the facts and arguments which | 52 percent of the titles surveyed
we have developed to justify the |at the minimum without consid-
Assoclation’s 10 percent salary | ering the substantial increase for

employees that appears
facts found in the studies con-|certain to be legislated in the
ducted by the State's own sgen- | immediate future. Thus the State
cy the Division of Clussifica-| stands In poor relation to these

New York and the Federal gov~
ernment for classes of employ-
ment that are peculiar to the pub-
Ite service, The State’s 1957 sal-
ary survey showy that the City
of New York excceds New York

tion & Compensation during the
past few months

“The facts bearing on the State |

employees pay are as follows:
First: A factory worker's aver-

age weekly earnings are $82.40.
About 55,000 State employees
(well over half of them) take

home $81 a week or About
11,000 make less than $3,000 a
year which is about $58 a week.
Second: The State's own hiring
study shows that between
October, 1956, and October, 1957,
industry ihereased its hiring rates
7.1 percent while the State as
employer incroayed its by 4.5 per-
cent, This shows that the gap
between the State's hiring rate
and that of private industry was

not closed but widened during the
past year, The State Is below the
market on every single position

surveyed and Ing
erage by 14 percent.

Third: The State's general sal-
ary study Included an anaiyals of
the Port of New York Authority
study of October, 1 None of
the State's titles were among the

behind the av-

57,

top paying quarter of those re-
ported; 74 percent of the State's
rates fell within the bottom half
ant 40 percent were in the bot-
tom quarter,

Fourth: In another study con-
ducted by tha State of New York,
the Department of Public Works,
laborers median wage w

for cities and counties wit

State the median was $1.60, and
for laborers for private contrac-
tors $2.21. Thus it is evident that

the fs not only way behind
private industry but wlio behind
the municipalities for this high-

Way position, A similar survey
conducted by this Association
shows that of ¢ forty-three

counties surveyed, 23 counties pay
thelr highway laborers more than
the Sta’

Fifth; Two of the State's chief

One might think that the ques-| divect competitors are the City of

of

tchester | new!
the two | and

two large employers.
| Sixth; In the State's salary stu-
dy this year special attention was
given Institutional positions. The
State included a comparison of
percentage relationships of 1957
salary ranges for 40 institution
classes in other public Jurisdle-
tions and Now York State. The
State of New York 8 percent
| below other public jurisdictions
at the minimum and § percent
behind at the maximum of the
salory range. The State of New
York was below the average af
other public jurisdictions in 43 of
the 44 classes surveyed at the
minimum and 38 of the 44 at the
maximum.

Seventh: Students of public ad-
ministration would agree that the
States of Callfornin and New
York probably haye more in com-
mon than any other two states
and while they are not direct
competitors n the labor

is

market |

their wage practices are of special |

interest to us. Of the thirty In-
ution positions surveyed by the
State of New York every single
Callfornia position pays more than
in New York State, both at the
minimum and at the maximum.
Eighth: Turnover is a bellwe-
ther of the adequacy of a pay
plan. One would expect that be-
cause State employment ts pre-
ted to the public with emphasis

on it as a “cares would ex-
pect that turnover would be re-
latively low, However the State's
turnover figure w that one-
half of the ignations in 1
were boca! at inadequate

aries and of hird for the same
reason in 18: ie State's
turnover rate was over 20 per-
cent or approximately 20,000 em-
ployees per y:

| eral figures we are witnessing the
\cconomie phenomenon of rising
unemployment with a continued
rise in the Wage level and cost of

State Support For

living. Built-in escalators and the
popularity of long term labor con-
tracts clearly shows that for mil-
lions of private wage earners sal-
aries will continue to rise, A few
days ago the January Consumers
Price Index was announced at
122.3, which is an increase of 6

dustry a year ago they cannot
possibly be so now.

Tenth: The State's salary plan
philosophy is predicated on the
payment of a certain minimum
and maximum salary with regular
increments based on satisfactory
work performance. If the State
wishes to continue its program
and feels that this time-tested
plan of wage administration ts
sound then it must recognize that
excessive use of the “variable mi-
nimum" cannot but destroy the
plan. There has been an increas-
ing use of the device of “tempor-
arty” increasing the hiring rate,
In 195 it was applied to 28 titles,
1955-57 titles, 1956-110 titles. In
April, 1967, all variable minimum
Applications were cancelled but
almost immediately were resum-
ed, At the present time it has
increased to 96 titles. Either dir-
ectly or Indirectly tt effects about
a quarter of the State's service
and directly effects nearly 5,000
positions. Here indeed is ample
admission by the State of salary
and wage inadequacy

“We submit that the ten points
above summarize as concisely as

possible the facts concerning State |

salaries, Considered either collee~
tively or separately the inescap-
able conclusion from these facts ts
that Stute salaries are far behind
P ¢ industry and other public
Jurisdictions. Intelli; t criticism
could perhaps be made of the
original recommendations tn the
proposed budget on the basis of
inadequacy, but certainly no logi-
cal consideration of the merits of
the State aulary case could lead
to a conclusion based on fact
and fairness that the proposed pay
increase should be deleted from
the State budget.”
