Legality of Firing Witnesses |
Who Plead 5th Amendment
Challenged in Highest Court.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31—Sec-)
tion 903 of the NYC Chapter, and |
Felated provisions of the New York |
Btate Constitution, whereby a)
public employee who refuses to
testify before an official body aus
thorized to conduct an investiga-
tion forfeits hin office or posi-
tion, is before the United States
Bupreme Court, on the question of
eonstitutionality. |

Harry Slochower, dismissed as
xsistant professor, Brooklyn Col- |
Vege, after 27 years’ service, re-|
fused to tell a Senate subcommit-
tee whether he was « Communist |
$n 1940 and 1941, but affirmed he |
had not been one since,

He pleaded the Fifth Amend-
ment of the Federal Constitution.
which provides that a witness |
ean not be compelled to testify |
against himself.

Overseas Jobs
Covered in as
Competitive

WASHINGTON, Oct, 31—Presi-
@ent Eisenhower having signed
the necessary order, 20,000 U.S
employees in overs2as jobs are|
now in the competitive service. |
Except for 200 who work for the|
Department of the Interior, and
four other agencies, in Guam and |
other Pacific islands, all are em-
ployees of the Army, Navy or Air
Force.

‘The jobs were formerly in
Schedule A, under which the de-
partment head has discretionary
power of appointment, Hereafter |
the vacancies wil be filled through |
competitive exams.

Many of those who just ac-
quired competitive status also got
into the preferred “career,” or
top job-security, group, Some of
these had permanent status in
previous U.S, Jobs, and were per-
mitted to retain or rather recap-
ture it |

Opportunity for Others j

As for the others, they will)
Rave the same opportunity to at-
tain permanency, or earcer stat-
us, as is provided generally. They
must have three years’ Federal
service, at least, and be recom-
mended by their agencies. If they
are not on an eligible roster they
may have to pass a closed exam.

Overseas jobs held by non-
¢itizens are not included, Many |
thousands of foreign nationals|
hold such jobs. While their po-
kitions also will be taken out of
Gchedule A, they will be put in
the group of jobs known as "ex-
cepted” ones, that is, civil ser-
vice rules will not apply to them.

A new type of employment,
overseas limited,” ts included in
the order, It covers Americans
who live abroad and are hired to
work there for a Mmited period.

Daniel 'T, Scanne!}, executive as-

se] Peter Campbell Brown, defend-
ed the legality of the charter pro-
vision on the ground that the
statute required nothing more
than cooperation by an employee
in any properly constituted tn-
vestigation, which was the least
that could be expected of an em-

ployee.
Ephraim S. London, attorney
for Mr, Solchower, said the statute

ts subversive of the Federal Cor
stitution. He called the Charter
section arbitrary and nreason-
able, and said it attempted to
deny to an employee the very
safeguard that the Federal Con
stitution provided. He said NYC's

position makes it dishonorable or |

indecent for anybody to plead the
Fifth Amendment,

Slochower was not accused

or misfeasanee, he would have

ing.

object was to root Communism
out of the City’s schools, there ts
a State law, upheld by the US.

Reform Group Urges
Non-Partisanfor State

Civil Service Post

The Civil Service Reform As-
sociation has urged Governor Har-
riman to fill the vacancy in the
State Civil Service

his responsibility for non-partisan
service to all the people rather
than concern for obligations to a
political party.”

Charles Burlingham, president,
and William Dean Embree, ehair-
man, stressed the importance of
@ strong nonpolitical personnel
agency, fortified by the backing
of the Executive and the cooper-
ation of other State departments.

“The modern civil service com-
mission.” said the association of-
Ncinls, “should be expected to as-
sume the initiative in lifting the
civil service to a level hgh enough
te offer & worthwhile career to
the best talent It should by
résponsibility for establishing the
pattern for personnel manage-
ment from the initial recruiting

sion was caused by the resigna-
ton of Oscar M. Taylor,

Justices Ask Questions

Associate Justice Hugo lL, Bleck
| asked Mr, Scannell if the U)
[States Supreme Court ever hes
sustained any State or local stat-
ute that deprived = person of
something guaranted to him by
jthe Federal Constitution. Mr.
Scannell replied that the Court
has held many times that consti-
tational priviliges are not abso-~
lute rights, His point was that, al-
though a witness may plead the
Fifth Amendment, and, for the
purpose for which that amend-
ment was enacted, relieved of the
necessity for testifying as to par-
cular matters concerning him-
self, that fact did not abrogate
his responsibility to his employer
to be frank, honest, open, and
aboveboard

Mr, Scannell conceded that it i
| probably the first time the ques-

tion has been presented to the
| United States Supreme Court.
| Pleading the Fifth Amendment,

Mr, Scannell admitted, constitutes

& practical resignation, under the
Charter provision.

The Pifth Amendment, com-
mented Chief Justice Earl War-
| ren, protects the Innocent, as well
as the guilty.

"Do you believe that « claim ef
| privilege ean be consistent with
Innocence?” asked the Chief Jus
tee.

Link of a Chain
“It could be.” replied Mr. Scan-

nell, “But you can’t shut off the

inference that would normally
| flow from such a elaim. We do
not say there is m ¢lear inference
of guilt when an employee pleads
the Fifth Amendment, but his

pleading it does presuppose that |

his answer, if given, would have
provided « link in a chain of evi-
dence that might lead to his con-
viction."

Associate Justice Felix Prank-
furter asked If the figurative ef-
fect of the Charter provision ts
“that i cuts off an employee's
head," and Mr, London, who felt
the question waa addressed to
him, answered that the effect
was exactly as Justice Frankfurter
described it.

Justice Frankfurter commented
that the Board of Higher Educa-
tion had not inquired into Mr.
| Sloshower’s political activities im

1940 and 1941, and that in those
years the Communist Party had «
Jogal standing in New York State,
its emblem was printed on the bal-
lot, as were the names of ita can-
didates for public office.

Like a Retroactive Law

“This Court has decided," Jus-
tice Frankfurter recalled, “that in
1941 it was not subversive to be a
member of the Communist Party,
which at that time was # perfectly
legal party; mere membership, im
Itself, t not evidence of subver-
sion.”

Justice Black said giving a dis-
qualifying effect te Communist
Party membership that existed im
1940 or 1941 would be the same
as that of a Jaw holding that such
membership bara a person for life
from holding a public Ob in the
State or one of the localities. Such
a law would be invalid. Mr, Bean-
nell agreed

In a brief submitted to the Bu-
preme Court, the City argued that
invoking the Fifth Amendment
| permits of only two inferences—
| the witness was guilty of a crime,
or he ls committing perjury, In
the oral argument he did not press
that point,

The Court reserved decision.

Social Security Benefits
Loom for Public Worker.

here is substantial agreement among ranking execu-

tives, and leyislative leaders as well, that public re-|

tirement systems should be integrated with Social Se-
curity, and therfore it is foregone that such result will be
accomplished.

Measures to that d will receive early attention
when Congress reconvenes, while the State Legislature
will reecive a report from the State Pension Commission,
giving the all-important information on what the project
would cost employer and employee.

Naturally there will be some jockeying for political
advantage, as Republicans and Democrats move toward
the realization of objectives set forth in recommendations
of the Federal committee headed by H. Eliot Kaplan,

President Eisenhower favors optional Integration; so
do Governor Harriman, and Mayor Wagner of NYC. ‘A
pre-legislative meeting of State Republicans indorsed it,
as did a joint statement by State Democratic leaders in
the Legislature. The NYC administration will assuredly
fall in line.

Strong Opposition Is Certain

The advantages of integvation are principally the
survivorship and increased insurance benefits.

Public employee systems are innocent of survivor-
ship benefits, except those for which the insured pays di-
rectly, by sharing the benefit with wife or other co-hene-
ficiary. The life insurance benefits under public employee
systems are meagre, and need reinforcement, While one
pension will not be added to the other, and additional
benefits provided besides, there would be an improye-
ment that would prevent the economic plight of children
and aged left without means of support. Also, Social Se-
curity coverage is transferrable. If one changes his em-
ployer, he does not forfeit his pension, as in public sys-
tems, with minor exceptions of shifts from one to the
ether, in working for New York State or NYC, and the
vested pension rights under the U. S. Civil Service Em-
Ployees Retirement System,

Ry no means will integration receive united support.
Policemen, firemen, postal groups, and teachers are among
the organizations that have no use for it whatever, and
may be expected to oppose it not only strenuously but bit-
terly. However, the proposed amendments would permit
pension groups to decide to accept Social Security cover-
age, and not “inflict” it on any group, while specifically
excluding policemen and firemen unless they spontane-
ously petition to be included.

It is difficult to see how the opposition, no matter how
strong, could possibly prevent the accomplishment of the
much-needed improvement.

Editor, The LEADER;

An exam for regular school

school clerk was held by NYC.
Thore who passed the first series
were called to a much-postponed
mimeograph test. That test was
held this year during the vacation
period. Now, whatever induced
NYC to hold such # test when
most of the candidates would be
on vacation, and thus would lose
all opportunity to eet the job for
which they strove so hard? N¥C

Little Chance to Escape

Naturally there will be political overtones, even
though the non-political and non-partisan James R. Wat-
|son is executive director of the subcommittee’s staff,
The chairman, Senator Olin D. Johnston, can be relied on
to contribute the overtones. Mr. Watson, hired by him, can
hardly stop him,

The Commission's position is not enviable. It must not
expect to emerge in a blaze of glory. The best it can do is
to break even, which rarely happens, In human affairs,
enough goes wrong, enough false moves are made, to feed
investigators with more fuel than they need. About all that
the Commission can expect is that, since it has quite a list
of laudable acts to its credit, it will emerge as only a small
los

Also, the Commission should remember that in poli-

“A job in Federal civil service
holds, I believe, as much possibil-
ity of advancement, personal
achlevement, monetary reward and

Vate industry, plus three bonuses:
Job security, worker protection in
the form of pensions, vacations
and sick benefits, and—not to be

There {s alyo, Mr. affer said,
the same opportunity in civil ser~
viee as in private business to de-
velop along specialized lines, and
become an acknowledged suthor-
ity.

Moreover, he said, advancement
cannot be stifled “by the man
ahead of you." Advancement
comes autormutically to those whe
qualify, he observed,

Morale ‘Exceptionally High”

“Civil service morale in al
branches is exceptionally high,” he
said. “The false picture of the
past— the sour, embittered, gray-
haired, stoop-shouldered old gov-
ernment employee—is not true,

“In all branches of civil service
you will find a@ spirit of optimism
and hope, of working together for

WITH YOURSELF!..

---Decide you'll settle for nothing less than unlimited medical care
—not just insurance that pays only part of your doctors’ bills!

Compare H-I-P with every other medical insurance plan.
Be sure to read and compare the “small type” in the com
tracts. That tells you exactly how much medical care you
will get and how much you will pay for it.

Benefit for benefit, you will read in unmistakable black
and white that H-I-P virtually eliminates all doctors’
bills. Other medical plans pay only part of your medi
cal bills.

H-I-P costs only pennies a day. Ask your employer or
your union leader today how you can join. (Many
companies and unions pay half or all of your premium!)

Y Unlimited ... visits-to your H-I-P family doctor whenever—

and as often—as necessary. He will see you and every member

of your family at home... at his own private office...at your
medical group center and at hospitals,

¥ Unlimited ... medical and maternity care from the minute you

join—no waiting periods.

Personnel Counell next month. Dr
Theodore H. Lang, Deputy Per-
sonnel Director, Is chairman of the
newly created Council,

The Personnel Department
hopes that the Council will make
recommendations looking toward
the achievement of still better re-
sults.

No Luck With College Grads

That the results themselves, in
terms of actual acceptance of jobs,
fare disappointing still, is the con-
tention of leaders of employee or-
ganizations,

"We agree that your campaign
plan is good,” Philip F. Brueck,

President, Civil Service Technical |

Guild, CIO, wrote the Personnel
Department, “but that the table of
results shows little” The table
showed that the number of candi-~
dates had been doubled. “No~
where do you Indicate the number
of acceptances, Neither do you in-
dicate the number of college grad-
uates who elther passed the exam-
ination, or who accepted positions.

Few graduate engineers are be~
ing recruited by the City, The
right vocational climate for engi-
neers can never be achieved until
the salaries offered are attrac-
tive.

Pay Instead of Hoopla

“It appeurs that you have
placed most of the emphasis on
the recruitment of juniors, and ig-
nored the assistant grade, which is
the backbone of the City s corps of
engineers, Unless realistic sala-
ries are offered to all grad
NYC's corps of engineers will cor
tinue to deteriorate, and the City
will be forced to continue to hire
Outside consultants at cost plus
100 percent,

“The salary ranges must be sub-
stantially increased immediately,

regardiess of any ersata attrac-' is Jooking for some substantial)

for submission to the

}

| ber of candidates, compared to

‘ite diMiculties. It states that pri-

Enthusiasm Not Universal

In a report to the Board of Es-
timate, the Personnel Department
id that the press practically ig-
no the recruitment drive, but
radio and television stations gave
it considerable publicity.

These devices were used: appli-

cations were sued and received by |
mail promotion literature was
sent to engineering schools and |
colleaos tn the metropolitan ares. |
and sdminixtrators of professional
societies, and an attempt was|
made act a hearing before

school and college classes, but only |
two institutions consented.

Despite the efforts, the actual}
hiring did not improve much, one
may assume, since there is no
mention of how many eligibles |
were obtained, or how many of
them accepted job offffers, Indi-
rectly, the paucity of acceptances
ts confirmed by figures showing
the number of vacancies is still
notably excessive. When there
were 696 junior jobs open
the applications numbered 286,
slightly above 55 percent, says the |
report, prepared by Ernest E.
Johnson, director of the bureau of
receultment and public relations. |
Previous recruitment efforts had
produced only one-third the num- |

the number of jobs. Nothing said,
however, about how many of the |
candidates passed, or how many)
of thove who passed accepted, — |

Personnel Council,

Private industry can offer Jobs
immediately on a student's gradu-
ation; the City ean only band out
application blanks for exams.
Many students know they are go-
ing right into military service, so
are not interested in a Job, Pac-
ulty members often advise stu-
dents against taking public jobs,
encouraging them to go into pri-
vote industry, These are other
troubles the City has to face.

Glamorizing Civil Service

The Personne! Department anys
civil service must be made more
attractive, so the City can fll all
its architectural and engineering
Jobs, by glamorizing the City's en-
gineering programs as an attrac-
tion to persons seeking a career,
and starting a new type of hiring

program, The college students
would be hired as provisionals,
serving summer internships be-

tween the third and fourth college
yours, with possible college credits
therefor, Engineering night school
students wotlld be hired for day
jobs. For both groups, the posi-~
tons would carry sub-professional
Litles, but the hope is that, with
some City service to their credit,
such employees would be induced
to stay, when openings at the Jun-
jor Jevel are to be filled. The City
departments would be asked to
report which of thelr higher titles
could be reduced to the sub-pro-
fessional level, to expand the pro-
visional job opportunities,
‘Salary But One Aspect’

“The Personnel Department be-
Heves,” the report winds up, "that
if we can create the right profes-
sional climate—and salary is but
one aspect-—we will be able to
overcome our main problem in the
not too distant future.”

Mr. Brueck, in his letter, hints
that the crux of the problem les
with the Budget Director and the
Board of Estimate, The Personnel
Department is subject to budget-
ary limitations,

Mr. Brueck’s organi#ation rec-
ommends that the Lyons Resi-
dence Law be not applied to ap-
plicants for the engineering and
architectural jobs, That law re-
quires at least three continuous
years’ residence in NYC immedi-
ately preceding appointment,

Hoch Refutes Charge of

Patient Abuse

(Continued from Page 1)
of patients of this type is most
difficult for all State schools for
the mentally defective and the
problem is not Mmited to New
York State. Our State schools are
“open” institutions without re
straining walls, but every one of
them has a certain percentage of
patients, most of them over 16

s of ase, who cannot be ade-
tely controled or trained in
“open” institution.
New York State the more
male delinquent defectives
16 are committed by the
courts to the Deparment of Cor-
rection institution for defective
delinquents at Napanoch, but
many with histories of delinquen-
cy are sent to the State schools
for mental defectives. All defect-
ive delinquents under 16 are sent
to these schools, since the Inw does
not permit their commitment to
& correctional institution. Some
of these inmates are cooperative,
but others really require a con-
ed program such as that pro-

abuse of patients, no substantial
evidence of such abuse by persou-
nel presently employed at the
school has been disclosed, but my
investigation a& to some of the
allegations is still continuing, If
any such evidence of abuse should
be produced i will be turned over
to the district attorney for pre-
sentation to the grand Jury.
RECOMMENDATIONS
After reviewing the program of
Wassaic State School with its di-
rector, Dr, Etling, I have made
several recommendations, some of
which are already in effect, They
include the following
1. Use of restraint and seclu-

sion, Seclusion of patients for the
protection of others is necessary
at times, but there must be defin-
ite mi
have been strengthened and clear-
ly_ defined

Restraint is necessary on oc- |
casion, but only as a temporary |
measure and for medical reasons
Restraint should never be applied
for other reasons, This will be rig-
idly enforced

2. Steps have been taken to ef-

fect an immediate increase in
ward staffing by providing over-
time pay for wird attendants
