ALBANY, March 14—Are you
entitled to a slice of the DeMarco
money, How do you determine
if you're “in” or not?

These are only the first of the
problems that State officials are
working upon furiously as a re-
sult of the DeMarco Court of Ap-
peals decision, decided unani-
mously in favor of the employees
(the case was described in detail in
last week's LEADER).

About 8,500 payroll changes have
to be made, and instructions must
be issued to all the departments
who hand in payroll matters.

All this adds up to: No answers
to your questions — yet. The Civil
Service Commission is now work-
ing on the matter, and hopes to
have within the next two weeks an
explanation which will answer
every possible question. Joseph
Schechter, Commission counsel, is
now preparing the memorandum,
aided by Charles Campbell, ad-
ministrative director of the de-
partment, and other civil service
officials,

NYC Sergeant
List March 29

The revised eligible list for
Promotion to Sergeant (PD,) will
be issued on March 29, said Pres-
ident Joseph A. McNamara, of
the NYC Civil Service Commission,
and the Clerk, Grade 2 list should
be promulgated today. The Clerk
list was previously published and
the hiring pool for Clerk will be
held in early April,

The latest court case attacking
the Sergeant exam fizzled. Prev-
ious ones succeeded.

‘The Sergeant list was promul-
gated before, but a court in junc-
tion stopped use of the list and
cost Acting Sergeants $100,000, the
difference between top grade Pa-
trolman and Sergeant pay.

On the basis of the first several
days during which applications
have been received, it appears th:
about 25,000 will apply for the
Sanitation Man, Class B, exam-
ination. The last day to apply

SEADER office, is ‘Thursday,

President Joseph A. McNamara,
of the NYC Civil Service Com-
mission, issued a special plea to
Prospective candidates not to de-
lay in applying. The last three
days, especially the last day, pro-
duce a rus’. that is not only diffic-
ult for the Commission to handle,
but candidates try to fill out their
applications in a hurry and some-
times make costly mistakes, Last
time 3,599 applied on the last day,

“I sincerely request all prospect~
ive applicants to apply at the
earliest possible moment,” Presi-
dent McNamara told The LEAD-
ER, “The best interests of all
concerned would be promoted im

that way.” (see page 9),

Opportunities for women exists
in the exam for School Clerk at
$2,100, or more than $40 a week,
and Substitute Clerks, at $9 a day,
in the NYC Board of Education,

The exams are open to both men/to

and women, but most of the ap-
plicants are women so far.

The School Clerk increments
bring the pay to $3,300, orf about
$63.50 a week. Age limits are 20
40, veterans excepted.

A BILL before Congress wouldident of Civil Service Employees

require that in firings of U. S.

employees should be in accord-
ance with “tenure of employment,

military preference, length of

25-Year

ALBANY, March 14— Mayor
William O'Dwyer, of NYC, has
notified the Legislature that he
is “strongly” for the Conrad-
Clancy bill to permit retirement
at half pay, after 25 years of
member service, by NYC employ-
ees who are in or come under the
age 55 plan of NYC Employees
Retirement System, The present
provision ig for half-pay retire-
ment after 30 years.

about equally by the city and the

would result proportionately, for

What Happened
To Meal Tickets?

HY IS the State Mental Hygiene Department sitting
on its “experiment” with the use of meal tickets in

its ipstitutions? And why all the secrecy?
The experiment was undertaken after employees had
pointed out that whether or not they eat three meals a day

at the institution, they

have to pay for three meals a day.

Not a very esoteric problem, is it? And certainly, if it were
to come up in private industry, it would have been solved

long ago.

In any case, the Department finally tried a plan in
four institutions, in a hush-hush atmosphere that only led

to mis

ideas elicited.

WARWICK, March 14 — “Jour-
nalism at its best.”

That’s what Francis A. Mac-
Donald, chairman of the Southern
Regional Conference, called the
work of thé Civil Service LEADER
on behalf of the Mitchell vet pref-
erence bill.

In a bulletin to chapter heads of

ing The Southern Conference in-
formed of all matters of employee
interest, I want to report the work
done on behalf of the Mitchell vet-
eran preference bill by the pub-
lisher and the editor of The Civil
Service LPADER, I havo gone on
record with a flat statement that
the job done by The LEADER may
well have been instrumental in
saving civil service in this state,
and certainly was one of the most
important jobs performed for civil
service employees of the state and
municipalities in the last twenty
y

as
“This doesn’t take away from
the excellent work done for the
Mitchell bill by other groups, in-
cluding our own Association, and
our own Conference, It was the
LEADER, however, which explain-
ed clearly and simply just what
was involved in the veteran pref-
erence issue, and told the differ-
ences between the types of veteran
preference being considered by the
Legislature. It was The LEADER
which kept up the campaign, with
continual pounding, until many
other agencies and newspapers
joined in, This was journalism at
its best.
The Polities of It

“T have been told by prominent

Democratic politicians that The

LEADER’s publisher convinced
the Democratic party heads that

Southern Conference Hears

How Mitchell Bill Won

the Mitchell bill was in the best
interests of veterans and non-vet-
erans. I also learned, during my
recent trip to Albany, of the ex-
cellent work done by The LEADER
with Governor Dewey and his aides
in helping to convince them that
failure of the Mitchell bill would
make for inefficient government.
Lobbying In Albany

The personal activities of The
LEADER’s publisher and editor
in Albany during the months of
January and February, where
they gave many hours and days
to the pushing of the Mitchell bill,
should be more widely known to
all public employees. This was
something that they did far beyond
the call of their duty as news-
papermen. As a result, thousands
of careers which might have been
warped will now be able to ad-
vance properly, provided the Mit-
chell bill becomes law. Last week
both the Senate and Assembly
passed the measure, Now it will
go to referendum of the people
in November.

I was pleased to see that both
Governor Dewey and Paul” Fitz-
patrick gave their exclusive state-
ments of support for the Mitchell
bill personally to The LEADER
publisher and editor.

Doesn't Ask Thanks

I know that The LEADER eon-
stantly performs services like this,
which are of permanent usefulness
to public employees, The LEADER
has never asked any thinks for
this extra-curricular work, but it
is high time we employees recog-
nized a job well done in our be-
half. It is the public employees,
those who directly benefit from
such a job by The LEADER, who
owe a debt of eratitude and a vote
of thanks to that publication.

State Senator Fred Moritt, of
Brooklyn, has protested the use
of the split shift in Brooklyn State
Hospital, which is in his district,

The split shift, in which work-
ers come in part of the day, then
pave time off, and complete their
tour of duty later in the day or
the evening, had been defended
by the hospital's director, after
@ critical article in The LEADBR.

Senator Moritt wrote:

don’t think the argument you
make is valid. Certainly, even
with @ domestic worker, one can’t
ask her to come for four hours,
then leave, and come in for an
additional four hours some time
later. You just couldn’t get any-
body to work under conditions
like that,

“The people in your hospital
are under civil service, of course,
and certainly are deserving of the
highest consideration, I think,
too, that the welfare and the pres-
tige of the hospital would require
that you grant these people their
demand, which seems to me en-
tirely: just and reasonable.’ I'm

Your State Liquor Authority is
economical. A recent survey of
most of the beverage
controls in other States proves it.
Five of the largest States with
control systems similar to New
York’s were compared. The per-
centage of the budget of the ad-
ministrative body represented by
revenue from license fees and bond
forfeitures was computed. The
result: New Jersey, 79.44; Mass-
Dilinois, 19.5;
; Indiana, 16.
(hold your breath),

11,
That New York figure is fan-
tastically low.

How does New York's State
Liquor Authority do it? Top flight
executives and staff, deep devotion
to duty, efficient and expeditious
administrative techniques and a
standard impartial tested method
of licensing procedure,

Local Enforcement

The State Liquor Authority is
@n administrative body, It is not
an enforcement agency. Certainly
it shares the exercise of the State’s
Police power — the protection of
life and property — but it is in
‘no sense a police force, and makes
not one criminal complaint or ar-
rest. That police duty is per-
formed by local government; in
NYC by the Police Department,
elsewhere by local or State Police.

The State Liquor Authority has
been conducting a campaign of
information to heighten local po-
lice enforcement of criminal viola-
tions on liquor licensed premises.

Liquor control is a touchy busi-
ness. Much is at stake; all sorts
of people seek licenses and the
public's eye is on the State Liquor
Authority almost as sharply as
the State Liquor Authority's eye
is on the applicant or licensee.

Governor Thomas E. Dewey
understood all that fully, so from
his very start as Governor strove
for liquor control of highest in-
tegrity and efficiency. He ap-
pointed largely men who had
worked under him when he was
Special Prosecutor or District At-
torney—able and industrious men
whose appointment itself meant a
new certificate of merit, He also
appointed career men in the
Mquor contro] administration, and
made top-flight replacements of
executives promoted to appointive
posts in other branches of State
Government.

The executive list includes one
woman, The roster now reads:

the FBI, chairman; Mrs, John S.
Sheppard, Edward O. Yackel, Vin-
cent J. Ferris, and Albert H. Mey-

tions that are now carried in

budget as line items to other
positions that are now carried in
by the lump sum appropriations,
Since almost half of this lump
sum appropriation goes for sal-
aries, undoubtedly the cut which
you are proposing would auto-
matically terminate these jobs.

No Funds to Produce

“The reduction you have sug-
gested will not only force the dis-
charge of many of us through lack
of funds for salaries, but will force
additional staff reductions be-
cause there will be no funds to
produce the things we are trained
and hired to produce.”

Mrs, Meskil described in her
letter how the work of employees
in the Commerce Department
“helped to create wealth and jobs
in the State.” She estimated that
this work had brought $10,000,000,
in new factories and another
$10,000,000 in new payroll income
the State, together with ad-

resentatives to register a protest.
In Commerce

As chairman of the Commerce
Department chapter of the As-
sociation, Mildred O, Meskil wrote
Senator Mahoney:

“You advocated reduciitg the
budget of this Department by
nearly 25 per cent, You also
stated that ‘no services will be
curtailed over those of last year,’
We cannot see how these two
things, taken together, are possible,

At Least 100 Jobs

“Tf the Legislature followed your
advice by reducing out lump sum
appropriation by $500,000, the jobs
of at least 100 Civil Service em-

loyees . . » would be in serious
jeopardy, You cannot cut the
Services of a department by 25
per cent and retain the same staff.
‘This does not look as though ‘no
employee's salary will be reduced
one iota,’ as you declared.

“To be specific, there are some
employees whose salaries are now | to
paid out of this lump sum ap-| ditional millions in resoré and
propriation who have been in the
competitive Civil Service for many she concluded,

‘that you will re-analyze your

ears, and some of whom have
teen thinking in the light of the value

with the Department since
it was first created as a Division|of the services rendered and the
in the Executive Department in|certainty that the cuts suggested
cannot be made without dismis-

1941. With the growth of the De-
partment, these experienced em-|sals which you originally declared
would be unnecessary.”

STATE AND COUNTY NEWS

The Public
Employee

By Dr. Frank L. Tolman

President. The Civil Service Employ+
ees Association, Inc., and Member
of Employees’ Merit Award Board.

THE PROBATIONARY PERIOD

T SOMETIMES happens, that what has always been
considered a white elephant turns out to be a useful
domestic animal, capable of much practical work,

The probationary period in civil service appointments
and promotions has been something that few administrators
have been able to use constructively to produce better em-
ployees. It has remained for the most part a device to
terminate employment at the end of the probationary period.
The termination no doubt is usually for good and sufficient
reasons, but may be for bad and insufticient reasons or
for no reason at all,

Only to ‘Observe’

The Civil Service rules require the officer or supervisor
to “observe” the conduct of any probationer serving under
him and if required, to report to the proper appointing
officer, There is no requirement to do more than to “observe,
There is no requirement to instruct, to train, to guide,
advise or to counsel the new employee or to properly induct
him into his new environment or to help him learn his job
and to increase in knowledge and in skills,

In certain departments where training programs are im
operation, the probationary period has been lengthened te
correspond with the induction program. In such cases it
is recognized that a civil service examination does not
always produce a finished, expert worker. It should and
usually does produce, particularly in the lower entering
positions, good material from which, with proper training,
good productive workers can be developed.

Where Interest Is Identical

. In my opinion the most promising approach to general
improvement in the public service lies at those points where
the interests of the employer and of the employee meet and
become identical or complementary.

__ Every administrator and every supervisor wants a
highly efficient staff. Every employee wants to get ahead
and knows that the road to success is through increasing
skills, increasing competence and increasing knowledge of the
job in all the relationships, There is here a large measure
common interest in increasing opportunity for all employees
in job mastery through more training on the job and beyond
the immediate job, preparation for the next higher position,

There is a certain tendency to divorce the interest of
and the program for the employee from those of the employ-
ers. There is a tendency to expect the employees to set
up a voluntary self-improvement program of broad scope
and to leave it to the administration to operate a highly
practical training program. Whether the twain ever meet
and merge is left to chance,

Let’s Not Miss the Boat

I think we miss the boat if we do not all plan together
on the broad problem raised by the Governor which I would
like to re-state as follows:

What must we add to rigid civil service methods and
procedures to realize the fundamental ideals of civil service;
namely, that the best qualified shall serve the state, that
public service is a career, that government belongs to the
people, and that there is no higher or more worthy profes
sion than to help the biggest business of them all—Goverm
ment—to function for the benefit of all the people,

_ Why not use the probationary period for an adequate
training and induction program with the definite and dis-
tinct object of getting the most out of government service?

Association field representative.

Mr, Hall read Dr. Frank L.
Tolman’s letter of January 11
regarding his discussion of em-
ployee reclassification with the
Director of the Budget. Mr. Evans
denied the statement that no ap-
peals had been made by the De-
partment to reclassify mainten-
ance employees to an annual basis.
Such requests have been made
throughout the year, and some
canal employees have already been
reclassified. The Budget Director
will not accept appeals by title,
but only by individual cases, upon
proof that each employee works
steadily through the year. If an
employee works under more than
one title during the year, the Bud-
get will not reclassify him.

Wide Range of Topics

Mr. Evans and Mr. Welsh, and

replies:

CURSIONS

By THEODORE BECKER
Limiting the actions of public
employees is usually justified, we
have seen, where a clear public
interest is advanced by them.
Laws and regulations which seek
to assure the honesty and loyalty
of public employees are accepted
as necessary to guarantee that
public office is indeed a public
trust. But the need for this type
of accountability is too often as-
sumed in relations between em-
ployees in the same department
or bureau.

A classic illustration is the case
of an employee who sets up a

What Employees Should Know

Limiting Actions of Employees

ELLE

system of records covering every
operation he performs. If he re-
ceives a paper he stamps the
time received. When he transmits
it to the next employee in the
process, he gets a receipt. This
protects him against blame for
loss of the paper or for delay in
its transit. He may Justify his
action by pointing out that he
or his predecessor was once
charged with losing a paper or
sitting on it. Other employees
along the line adopt ‘the same
procedure for their own protection
and the red tape starts unwinding.

It is not the procedure which is

tion to an annual basis, as the
Department is taking care of it.

It is expected that additional
canal titles, such as mechanic,
machinist, will be placed on an
annual basis this year. There is
no indication yet when action will
be started on highway titles.

Last year's Civil Service Survey
was for reclassification of title,
not of salary.
Most employees reclassified to
an annual basis are being paid
not more than four hours a week
for overtime,
When an émployee is provision-
ally promoted to a higher grade,
his permanent title is protected.
Lay-offs or demotions are made
in inverse order of seniority.
An employee does not receive a
salary increment at the end of
his probationary period.

Sick Leave and Pay”

The District Dngineer may re-
quest increases for per diem em-
ployees, through the Superintend-
ent of Operation & Maintenance.
The Budget Director has set the
rate of $3.50 per day for truck
rentals, Appeals for @-higher rate
should be made directly to the
Supt. of Public Works.
Sick Leave accumulated is not
reimbursable upon retirement.
According to the Budget Direct-
or, the intent of the overtime law
is to pay an employee only when
he cannot be given compensatory
time off.
Advances on expenses are al-
lowed to chiefs of survey parties
only. Mr. Evans has promised to
take up the matter of advances
on_other expenses.
Delegates to Association meet-

time off.

Overtime pay for engineers after
November 15 is now before the
Budget Director. .

If a per diem employee works
temporarily at a higher title, it
is not practical to change title
for a short period. If he works
at the higher title for long per-
iods, it is a matter between the
District Engineer and the Supt.
of O& M,

As to highway patrols without
foremen, it is probably due to
lack of proper titles, the number
of which is limited, and which
Mr. Ostrander is trying to expand.

Arguments Against
Split-Freeze Bonus

NE OF the more potent NYC City functionaries, who

has Mayor William O'Dwyer’s ear, said privately that
NYC Firemen, in insisting on a freeze of the full bonus
into base pay, didn’t fully understand the facts. We give
his arguments and our answers:

Firemen aren’t in support of a full bonus freeze ; they’re
i i satisfied with part of the freeze. Only the UFA officials
are kicking up a fuss.

Answer: At a meeting held on February 25, the rank-
and-file went unanimously on record for the full freeze,
The Firement fear the partial freeze, because they feel it
means partial security. That portion which is unfrozen
can be too readily removed.

2 Why shouldn’t the Firemen be?

Answer: Who said the Patrolmen are satisfied? No
one asked the rank-and-file Patrolmen their opinion. If
that opinion had been asked, there is no reason to assume
they would have voted differently from the Firemen. — Even
the president of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association,
who didn’t stand firm on his organization’s demand for the
full freeze, had to turn around and make a report that
the PBA would continue to seek a full $4,150 base pay.
The Mayor’s office seems to be using the defection of the

PBA leader on this issue as an excuse to penalize the
firefighters.

Tf you give the full bonus freeze to the Firemen and
» Patrolmen, you would have to grant it to all other city
employees.

Answer: Exactly. All city employees should have it.
After all, Governor Dewey has covered the full bonus of
State workers into their base pay; and the needs of city
employees are no less. However, if the city — pleading
poverty — says it just can’t raise the cash to cover in the
additional payments for all employees, then at least it should
cover in the firefighters and the policemen. This would set,
a precedent that would benefit all employees, because their
own argument for the full freeze would then become
unanswerable.

Merit Award Plans
For Local Employees

HE New York Daily Mirror makes a suggestion which

The LEADER heartily applauds, because it is in the
interests of all NYC employees, and of improved efficiency
in municipal government. ‘

Let’s set up-a merit award plan, says the morning news-
paper. “It is simply that the City should add a little more
glamor and dignity to the career of civil service by giving
its employees an opportunity to suggest better ways of
doing their multifarious tasks and getting paid for it,”

Continues the Mirror: “Civil service is a wonderful
thing. But many who work under it feel, with some reason,
that it limits their initiative, grades them into regimented
categories, and doesn’t give the individual worker enough
opportunity to live up to his best capabilities.”

So the Mirror urges a merit award plan as a per-
manent City setup, with actual rewards for good ideas and
unusual accomplishment.

We like that. The LEADER sponsored such a plan
for the State of New York some years ago, and a bill then
introduced by Senator Halpern has become a great success
in operation, with many splendid ideas formulated by public
employees already saving the State hundreds of thousands
of dollars. The LEADER is solidly behind the Mirror's
proposal, The need for additional incentives in publie service
is obvious; and a system of merit awards, at little cost, will
increase employee morale, open new avenues for the person
with ideas, and pay off for itself many times over in savings
accruing from employees’ suggestions.

Throughout the State, we suggest that groups of local

The Patrolmen are satisfied with the partial freeze.

the end. Curran is in a position
to tell the GOP boys in Albany,
in effect: “When this man Carton
comes up here for anything, he’s
poison.” The PBA head, whoever
he is, must come to Albany every
year, How far will Carton get now?
How much good has he done his
organization by 1. precipitous
action? It may be that Carton
estimates he personally has al-
ready received enough from Mayor
O'Dwyer so that He can take the
chance of losing entree with the
GOP. But will the rank-and-file
patrolmen feel the same way?

What Gained, What Lost?

The issue fs not at all whether
Carton is for the Mayor, or wheth-
er the cops are individually for
the Mayor, The issue is, on the

urely political plane, what he

as gained and what he has lost
by setting up an inevitable bitter-
ness among the GOP office-hold-
ers; and doing what he did before
he even knew who the Fusion
or Republican Mayoral candidate
would be, At the very least, re-
sponstbility to the PBA and to its
members would have required that
he and his delegates should have
awaited knowledge of the man who
is to run on the GOP-Fusion side,

Even O'Dwyer Hurt

There is some speculation as to
whether Carton might have made
the move as a counter-weight to
the many involvements in which
he has recently found himself.
But the net result has been not
to help, but to hurt, even the pop-
ular O'Dwyer, The endorsement
enabled O'Dwyer’s foes to cook up
a charge that he has personally
forced the backing. One news-
paper headlined its story: “Charges
Mayor Forced OK by Police Assn.”
There is no evidence to substant-
jate that O'Dwyer did any such
thing. But the charge has been
made to sink into the mind of
NYC's citizenry. It’s a serious
kind of accusation, the sort of
thing people don’t like—and the
over-all effect has therefore been
negative from O’Dwyers own point
of view. How did the Mayor and
his advisers feel when they read
such headlines? They will have no
alternative but to conclude that
Carton’s endorsement has beén an
unnecessary and unwonted burden
at this early stage, They must
have sald to themselves: “Better
if Carton had never opened his
month,”

Moveover, it is still possible
O'Dwyer might not run for re-
election. The candiate on the
Fusion side might be a man whose
good-will the PBA may want as-
siduously to cultivate—even, be-
fore election,

The Tom Curran statement is
ouched in terms so savage as
to indicate the GOP will not
readily forget what Carton has
done. Perhaps John B, Carton had
@ personal motivation in doing
what he did... but the sufferers
might be the men in the Police
Department.

Democrats Have Enough
GOP Votes to Halt
NYC Probe

TT WAS on January 11 that
Don't Repeat This pointed out
the flimsy quality of a GOP de-
mand for a probe of NYC, Gov-
ernor Dewey confirmed last week
his own lack of enthusiasm_for
such an investigation, The Gov-
ernor is not now in a position
to spearhead a probe, even if
sufficient evidence of skulldug-
gery were at hand, and says it
hasn't yet been presented to him,
He is involved in an internal
battle with elements of his own
party over the budget, and the
verbal ferocity of the battle—
even though the opposition is
numerically weak — shows that
Dewey doesn’t _at this time con-
trol the State GOP with the mast.
er hand he once had on any
matter,

Democrats Had GOP Votes

But even if there had been no
internal GOP budget battle, the
Democratic county leaders had
enough Republican votes sewed
up so that there could have been
no legislative probe, Many of the
GOP boys fear a probe as much
as the Democrats would. As Don’t
Repeat This exclusively revealed
two months ago, one of the Re-
publican bigwigs has said: “For
every day of worrying we cause
the New York City Democrats,
they'll give is a day of worry in
return.” The NYC Democrats
have available the United States
Attorneys in the Southern and
Eastern Districts, covering 16
counties, most of them Repub-
lican-controlled. The Democrats
control the Internal Revenue ap-
paratus. Andthey have, of course,
their own investigative agencies
in the City. Many a Republican
would spend sleepless nights if
the GOP decided to probe Demo-
cratic NYC,

O’Dwyer and Rogers

Notwithstanding Clendenin Ry-
an’s blast at O'Dwyer last week,
trying to tie up the Mayor with
Frank Costello, Tammany boss
Hugo Rogers is still secure on
his throne. His power*will be
shattered only if Tammany’s
“ruling clique” wants him out or
if O’Dwyer decides to kick up the
traces with a very loud noise.
Some of O'Dwyer’s cronies are
pointing out the reason O'Dwyer
is not in a position to toss Rogers
out: it’s because the Tammany
chief is acting as though he's
completely for the Mayor, not just
talking that way. Rogers didn’t
want Irwin Davidson to get the
Special Sessions judgeship, but
went along with the Mayor on
that appointment. John Canella,
a new prospective appointee to
Special Sessions, isn’t a Rogers man
either, O'Dwyer wants him, how-
ever, and Rogers will probably go
along, too, However, with some
little opposition within the or-
ganization this isn’t yet 100 per
cent sure.

Who'll Succeed
Congressman Bloom?

‘THE LINE is forming, and it's
getting longer, of the men who
want to succeed Sol Bloom, the
venerable Congressman who died
recently,

Maynard Miller, who was treas-
urer of Tammany Hall under
Frank: Sampson, is threatening to
fight Rogers for the Manhattan
Borough Presidency, But Demo-
erats aren't anxious for a bitter
primary fight between the two,
and the feud might be patched
up by offering Miller the Con-
gressional nomination, There's
also talk that former Assembly-
man Irwin Davidson, who only
wecently went on the Special
peesious bench, will try for Bloom's
spot.

Other Democratic prospects:
State Senators Frank Mahoney
and Harold Panken, And a num-
ber of Tammany leaders are pull-
ing all the strings they can reach
to get the nomination for them-
selves, Assemblyman Owen Mc~-
Givern is also trying to look in,

On the GOP side, Jules Justin,
who lost in the race to Bloom,
will claim the candidacy, Repub-
licans who want it include George
Mintzer, Morton Baum, Albert E.
Schwartz, and Edgar J. Nathan IT,

Nathan put up a terrific fight for

the State Assemb!
election, losing by ott

NYC Fire Dept.

E PUBLIC of NYC has a big stake in the efficient
functioning of its Fire Department. Life and property

nediately involved — and it could be any citizen’s
citizen’s property. ‘ " >

or this reason any constructive proposal for improving
jepartment’s efficiency needs the most careful con-
ation of the people; and the element of cost, in relation
he improvements desired, is a lesser matter than: it
‘ns be in some other units of government.

Can’t ‘Double Up’ on Officers
The LEADER favors the addition of more officers to
jepartment. The evidence at hand indicates that short-
of oflicers, resulting in reduced quality of supervision,
scarily has an adverse affect on the department’s effic-
ortages in officer ranks are unlike shortages in
wr types_of jobs — you can’t “double up” of officers, or
fe one ollicer do the work of two. Nor is it good personnel
ice (0 fill up “shortage holes” with “acting” men —
who may not know the district, may not be prepared
Fthe superior tasks, Again, life and property are the
« considerations.
Some of the Facts

Let’s look at some facts:

a single day, recently, 163 acting Lieutenants — that
men — were filling in on Lieutenant jobs because of
Juficient officer personnel, These men would be in charge
important supervisory functions in case of fire. If the
y needed 163 additional Lieutenants that day, clearly
should have had them. The same condition holds true
the way up the line, making a total of about 320 men
Hing out of title.

One of the most important phases of an officer’s work
fighting fires is knowledge of the district. Yet, with such
huge shortage in the quota, men keep getting shifted
wind, to districts new to them, and working wth Firemen
hse individual capacities are unknown to them.

Simple mathematics shows that more than 160 additional
fers are required at this time to staff the department
ily adequately. Only fairly adequately. Because The
ADER has seen charts indicating that with 160 additional
fers in all ranks, there still would not be complete prov-
ins for vacations, sick leave, or other emergencies.

The LEADER urges that promotions be made in all
ns, We learn that the cost of guaranteeing full
vice to the people of the City by bringing the officer
ui up to 1,811 men — the full cost of this action would

only an additional $250,000 in the budget; and if the
nmotions were amortized over a year, the cost would be
rly about $150,000. Of course, additional firemen would
aided, and these figures do not include the cost of more

any

len,

The people of this city would go for this plan. They have
tirect interest. The LEADER suggests to 3rd Deputy
missioner William R. Bayes, who is making a study of

department’s administration, that he give the most care-
q aeent ea Us the necessity of filling current vacancies in

department,

Ask Rescue by O'Dwyer

From Transit

High on the list of 1949 ob-
jectives of the Transport Workers
Union is to have all the rapid tran-
sit workers put in Part 39 of the
NYC Classification.

The object is to remedy a long
list of grievances arising from the
reclassification of 1939 and 1940.
At that time the NYC Civil Ser-
vice Commission completed the
vast. reclassification of employees
of the IRT and BMT, when the
city acquired those lines.

‘The main grievance is that em-
ployees of the former private lines
who were doing maintenance
duties, and some even operating
duties, were reclassified into cleri-
cal titles because their normal
duties included clerical work.
O'Pwyer and Reid Sounded Out

Clerical Jobs’

operating and maintenance Syties,
who were put into Part 39,
those who were classified as clerks
and put in Part 2 of the general
classification, which includes city-
wide clerks. The Part 39 em-
Ployees got raises in base pay;
the others got cost-of-living bon-
uses, The plan to have all brought
under Part 39 would enable sep-
arate treatment of Board of Trans-
portation clerks, and make pos-
sible the freezing of their full
bonus into base pay.

The spbject has been discussed
with Mayor William O'Dwyer and
Chairman William Reid, of the
Board of Transportation, and at
the moment is in abeyance, Chair-
man Reid is reported unwilling to
initiate the project himself, but
is willing to go along if the
Mayor is in favor of it.

Big Difference in Pay

In 1946 the operating and main-
tenance employees got a raise of
46 cents an hour and in 1948,
24 cents, while the clerical forces
got a cost-of-living bonus, a de-
parture from the method under
Private ownership of the BMT
and IRT, when raises given to
one Leip pie also went to the other,
says the TWU.

The union adds that some of
the employees reclassified as cler-
ieal workers had been engineers,
one had been a car inspector,
another had been in charge of
a cable section as assistant su-
perintendent, and a third had been
ordering and checking coal deliv-
eries, but by being classed as
clerks they lost the better pro-
motion opportunities and got, at
best, Clerk, Grade 5 titles, at
around $3,000 at that time. ‘The
union figures out the theoretical
case of an employee who, had he

the promotion ladder, under main-
tenance and operation, to a job
paying $2,000 a year more than
he gets now as a clerk.

Broad Scope

The magnitude of the reclassi-
fication task at the time of unific-
ation is admitted by the union,
and also the extenuating circum-
stances for classifying some as
clerks because they did a major
amount of clerical work, but
these are called exceptions,
The great majority are described
as having suffered. It is expected
that a move will be made to have

Plan Reinstatement Suit

The four Patrolmen expelled as
meinbers of the Patrolmen’'s Ben-
evolent Association. by vote of the
delegates, on grounds that their
actions were “detrimental to the
best interests of the PBA and
Policemen,” immediately got busy
on a law suit to compel their re-
instatement. The four are Peter
Schneider, Joel Weinberg, Irvin
Fendel and Jack Mark, all dele-
gates. Two other defendants in
the mass trial were acquitted.
They were Lander Hamilton and
Joseph Healy, delegates also.

Patrolman Walter Pensa, of
the 66th Precinct, acted as pros-
ecutor, President John E, Carton
presided,

Two. past presidents split on
the issue. Patrolman Raymond
A, Donovan supported the defend-
ants and Patrolman Patrick Harn-
edy testified against them.
Comment by Carton and Schneider

The charges arose from articles
published in The Blotter, official
organ of the Pension Forum, a
group of Patrolmen seeking re-
duction of pension contributions
from salary. Mr. Carton’s ad-
ministration was attacked,

“Now the PBA can look forward
to greater goals without the men-
ace of internal sabotage,” said

President Carton, after the ex-
pulsion vote,

“This action by the PBA,” said
Patrolman Schneider, “represents
the culmination of a campaign of
calumny and vindictiveness which
Carton began two years ago when
I refused to run for ist vice-pres-
ident with him, The immediate
cause of the expulsion was the
request that the PBA issue a full
financial report on the 1948 ball,
which Carton refused to do. We
intend to fight both this ouster and
the refusal respecting the PBA
funds,”

The court case in which an ac-
counting was sought was brought
before Supreme Court Justice Cuff,
in Queens. The PBA contended
that the complainants were not
entitled to an accounting under
the membership corporation law
and was sustained by the court.
Papers in another proceeding, un-
der Article 78 of the Civil Practice
Act, have been prepared, and a
financial report will be sought
through that method,

All six defendants in the ouster
case were among the 61 who
brought the suit over the ball
funds, Patrolman Hamilton was
the representative complainant,

“This has been a kangaroo

court, with an unfair jury,” said
Patrolman Donovan, referring to
the ouster proceedings. “It is a
shame and a travesty on justice
and freedom of thought and viol-
ates rights held sacred under our
American way of life, In the ex-
pulsion the PBA has lost lustre
and the delegates expelled have
gained new glory.”
Action Called Mlegal

The four expelled contend that
the action was illegal, because un-
der the PBA constitution the mem-
bership itself should vote on ex-
pulsion from membership, although
delegates may expel delegates from
their delegate office. Also, the
conduct of the trial will be de-
nounced as biased, unfair and
manipulated, the four asserted.
They referred to the postponement
of the trial until late in the after-
noon and the arrival, shortly be-
fore the vote was taken, of about
100 Patrolmen, mostly from Police
Headquarters,

At the meeting, prior to the trial,
short talks were given by Police
Commissioner William O'Brien and
William O’Brien and Chief In-
spector August W, Flath, and a
resolution adopted in favor of
Mayor William O'Dwyer running
for re-election.

To Apply for Exam

The dispute between the NYC
Civil Service Commission and the
Health Department over the re-
quirements for Public Health
Nurse has resulted in protests
being sent to the Commission by
various groups, against not in-
cluding a public health nursing
experience requirement, Protests
were received from the United
Parents Association, the Commit-
tee for the Care of Children and
the American Civic Employees
Union (CIO),

The examination is now open
to applicants, and will remain
open continuously,

The Commission states that
there are only 6,800 Public Health
Nurses in the whole United States
and that the requested experience
requirement would be impossible
to fill the more than 1,00 posi-
tions,

‘The Commission is accepting ap-
plications from Registered Nurses,
has waived residence requirements,
allowed applications by mail, and
will hold examinations also in
other places than NYC. It is not
opposed to the experience re-
quirement, if it were possible to
recrwt on that basis to fill the
needs of the city service, said
President Joseph A. McNamara,

For Recouping Vacations

ALBANY, March 21—State em-
Ployees, who had been forced to
sacrifice part of their annual va-
cation because of the heavy work-
load carried by State departments
and agencies since April 1947, are
going to have a chance to make
it up. Governor Dewey has signed
an executive order, approving a
resolution adopted in February by
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion, granting a six-month exten-
sion during which employees may
use up accrued vacation and over-
time credits.

Without the extension, state
employees would have lost these
credits after March 31.

No Pension on Bonus
For Mt. Vernon Employee

An appeal by an employee of
the City of Mount Vernon from a
denial in the Supreme Court of his
motion for inclusion of cost-of-
living bonus in pension computa-
tion, was decided against him by
the Appellate Division, Second De-
partment. The action arose from
the fact the plaintiff was a mem-
ber of the Mount Vernon Police
and Paid Firemen’s Pension Fund.

In a memorandum opinion the
Appellate Division wrote:

“The defense alleges, in pars,
that the cost-of-living adjustment
was paid and accepted on the ex-
press condition and understand-
ing that it would not be deemed
compensation for the purpose of
computing a pension, While mem-
bership in any pension or retire-
ment system of the State or of a
civil division thereof is a contrac-
tual relationship (N.Y, Constitu-
tion, Art, V, sec. 7) and existing
rights may not be impaired, the
constitutional provision does not

prohibit an agreement such as
that alleged in the defense
pleaded.”

STATE AND COUNTY NEWS

: The Public
_ Employee

By Dr. Frank L. Tolman

President, The Civil Service Employ-
ees Association, Inc,, and Member
of Employees’ Merit Award Board,

GROWING PAINS AND THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET

ERBERT HOOVER is the doctor who is prescribing

for the sickness of the Federal Government resulting
from overweight and attempts at reducing a post-war
administration to normal peace-time size.

Growing pains are nothing as compared to ungrowing
or reducing pains, as every over-corpulent person knows.
The wise method is to grow normally, avoiding both overs
weight and underweight whenever possible.

In Government few are wise enough to advocate the
middle course of continuous normal growth and develop-
ment to meet the major evident needs of a growing state
and an expanding economy. Many good citizens want
ever more service from Government,

A very vocal minority attacks all taxes as waste and
all public services and public administration as at best
a necessary evil, The Government that governs least is
best, according to their Gospel,

Who Stands for Expansion

Sometimes it seems that the major political groups are
chiefly distinguished by their sharply opposing stands on
the part or place of Government in the American life
and the American economy. It should be noted, however,
that the party in power always tends to champion its
variety of expanding Government while the outs find no
difficulty in a straddle that combines opposites.

The recent unpleasantness about Governor Thomas E.
Dewey’s budget illustrates the point. There was a great
hullabaloo about reducing a budget that was in fact an
economy budget; one cut to the bone, before it was intro-
duced. The public generally had given the Governor's
program support at the Budget hearings. In truth, it
seemed that the people wanted more service rather than
less from their State Government. It seemed to the observer
that the battle of the Budget was not entirely what met
the eye. This is indicated by the results. The Governor’s
Budget was not cut, state services were not curtailed. True,
there were some slight changes in the tax proposals. The
pay-as-you-go policy, which few Americans observe gladly
for themselves did receive a slight dent,

Road of Reaction Not Promising

Once again it is demonstrated that reaction is not the
best road to success, Once again it is shown that the
legislative body is not organized or equipped to do the
kind of job that Herbert Hoover is doing in Washington,

There are ways to operate and even to expand the
essential services of Government with maximum efficiency
and with maximum economy. This involves delicate ad-
justments and readjustments of a complex and intricate
administrative machine, without stopping the machine.

To succeed in this continuous task of planning better
methods and procedures, and better organization of bur=
eaus and departments, requires the highest management
ability on many fronts. Particularly it requires at the
top a great business executive, a great leader of men, a@
practical idealist and a dreamer of dreams for a greater
Empire State. If these qualities cannot all be found in
one leader, they should be created in a single team, ine
spired to function as one man for the good of all,

Plan Proves Huge Success

ALBANY, March 21—Known as
the “biggest little state agency,”
the State Merit Award Board,
comprising three non-salaried
members and a staff of four, has
accomplished the “impossible” in
government,

It has operated a statewide
program for two years for only
$26,195 and saved the State of
New York (ie. the taxpayer) an
estimated $210,000.

‘The program, first suggested by
The Civil Service LEADER and
backed by The Civil Service Em-
Ployees Association, was’ inaugur-
ated in 1946 by the Legislature
and Governor Dewey “to stimul-
ate on-the-job thinking and to
reward employees for meritorious
suggestions and accomplishments
that promote greater efficiency
and economy in State government.”

1883 Suggestions

Garson Zausmer, executive sec-
retary, has handled the 1,883 sug-
gestions sent the board by employ-
ees in every state department and
agency.

Mr. Zausmer says: “Sometimes
the suggestions are very simple—
it just happens that nobody ever
thought of them before. Some-
times they're complex, including
detailed plans and _ blueprints.”

But whether simple or complex,
the proposals go before the State
Merit Award Board for evaluation
and often result in cash awards
for the authors.

‘The Board

Members of the board are ap-
pointed by the Governor and
serve without pay. Much of their
work is done after regular work-
ing hours. The present board
consists of:

Henry A. Cohen, director of
contracts and accounts, Depart-

The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation,

Edward D. Igoe, administrative

finance officer, Department of Tax-
ation and Finance.
An engineer in the Department
of Public Works once won a $500
award for a suggestion which is
estimated to save the State from
$15,000 to $25,000 a year. ~

‘A stenographer. received $150
for developing an accounting pro-
cedure in connection with mach-
ine posting work. She refused to
take no for an answer, the board
explained, when a representative
of the company that installed the

machine sdid the equipment was
not designed to perform a par-
ticular operation without special
adjustment. It is estimated her
shortcut saves the State close to
$3,500 a year,
Great Morale Booster
Aside from the savings factor,
the board feels New York’s em-
ployee suggestion program has
proven to be an effective em-
ployee morale booster. It offers,
they point out, a constant in-
centive for employees to strive
to do a better job. It gives every
employee a sense of participation
in His or Her government.

Dewey Vefoes Bill
Extending List’s Life

In vetoing a bill to extend the
life of the NYC eligible list for
Assistant Deputy Register, Gover-
nor Thomas E. Dewey said he
received the bill from the Legis-
lature only two days before the
list’s expiration date. By the time
he wrote his memorandum the
list had expired. He said it was
therefore impossible to “revive it
by legislation” and cited two law
cases, He added:

“During the period within which
I could act no information was
submitted by the city of New
York or its Civil Service Com-
mission which would justify ex-
cepting this particular eligible list
from the gene! provision of
law limiting the duration of all
such lists to four years.”

(Continued from Page 1)
What a single employee could not attempt—46,000 employees in
their own Association could and did carry through to successful

conclusion. No one knows as yet

exactly how many employees will

benefit and exactly how much back salary will be paid them. Estim-
ates as to the number of employees affected vary from 6,000 to 9,000
and estimates of the two year costs vary from $1,500,000 to $4,000,000.

‘The payments that are to be made will be retroactive to April 1,

1947. Whatever amount is paid

for this two-year period will be

approximately doubled by reason of the fact that employees will
reach their maximum salary at an earlier date,
Brief Outline of The Case

Back in 1946, the Salary Board undertook a survey to review

the existing State salary structure and to recommend such changes

as might be required to put State salaries in line with those paid

for similar jobs in private and public employment.

When the new

Feld-Hamilton schedules went into effect on April 1, 1947, the Salary

Board had completed its survey,

but did not have time enough to

make all the necessary reallocations so that they would become effec-

tive on April 1, 1947.

The law, therefore, provided:

“Any reallocations made by the salary standardization

board on and after April first,

nineteen hundred forty-seven,

and prior to October first, nineteen hundred forty-seven,
and approved by the director of the budget, shall become
effective as of April first, nineteen hundred forty-seven.”

‘The controversy centered around this clause.

The Association

claimed that any employee reallocated upward should get the bene-
fit of the higher grade on April 1, 1947. The Civil Service Depart-
ment ruled otherwise, holding that employees would get no substan-
tial benefit from the reallocated grade until they reached the maxi-

mum of the new grade,

The Association appealed from this interpretation of the law
through its Counsel, John T, DeGraff, to the Supreme Court and, on
November 26, 1947, Justice Francis Bergen upheld the Association's

contention,

The State, through the Attorney General's office, carried the case
to the Appellate Division, where the Association again won.

The State then carried its appeal to the Court of Appeals, and
the decision of the highest court of the state on March 3, 1949 was
unanimously in favor of the Association.

Each Member Has Part

Each member of the Association has had a real part in the

DeMarco case victory. A goodly number of civil service employees

do not yet belong to the Association.

They too gain by this and

every other benefit and in the greater prestige won by public em-

ployees through their Association.

If you are not a member, do you not think you owe it to yourself
and all other public workers to join the Association? If yéu are a
member, will you not interest someone else in membership? DO

Mead Hits
One-Man
Civil Service

Ex-U.S. Senator James M. Mead,
who ran against Thomas E. Dewey
for Governor, commenting on the
likehood that the bill to reorganize
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion won't pass, said in a state-
ment that defeat of the measure
was “a just fate.”

Senator Austin W. Erwin, spon-
sor of the bill, admitted uncer-
tainity about the bill passing.
The measure would make the
President of the commission the
head of the department, in charge
of administrative functions. Sena-
tor Sidney A. Fine charged it
would make “a superduper man”
out of the president, and give him
wide powers over both state and
local civil service.

Senator Mead said:

“The squelching of this bold at-

empt to play politics with the
civil service was a great victory
for the New York State Civil Serv-
ice employees. who at the very
outset campaigned against the
change on the obvious fact that it
would tend to break down the
State’s merit system.
The Civil Service LEADER, in
bringing this issue forcibly to the
attention of friends of the civil
service throughout the State, mer-
its the praise and the commenda-
tion of all true friends of the
merit system.”

Effective Machinery
Of Labor Relations

HERE is now on Governor Dewey's desk the draft of

an executive order dealing with the important prob-
lem of labor relations in State government, The Governor
has frequently expressed his interest in this field, and has
made a number of contributions to it. One of the most
effective is the wide use of what he calls “the conference
method,” This, in essence, means simply sitting down with
a problem, tackling it from all angles, and threshing it
out until an agreement is reached.

It is infinitely superior to labor relations by whim, by
fiat, or imposition from above, It has made for what is
one of the best relationships between management and
employees in any government jurisdiction,

The trouble with the conference method is its ephemeral
quality. It doesn’t hold all the way up and down the line,
it depends too strategically upon who happens to be in
offic iny given time, there is nothing to assure its per-
manence, and it doesn’t set up any dependable modus
operandi,

Hence the ;

sarch, both among employees and admin-
istration, for a more secure system of labor relations.

This newspaper editor ipported a public em-
ployee labor relations bill, spe ally, the bill introduced
by Senator Desmond and Assemblyman Foy. But the
point was made that it would be preferable to try out a
system of labor relati iscover the “bugs,” before

aling it into law. This point is not without merit.
s contention led to the executive order now being
considered by the Governor.

The LEADER would like to see an executive order
that would really set up effective machinery, If the final
order should be wishy-washy kind of thing, it would
deft its own ends—in being unable to cope with the
more formidable oy more complex disputes that arise con-
stantly in the relationship between management and
employees, There is an opportunity here for a real pion-
eering adyance, and we hope the Governor will take it.

‘Unselfish and Fair’?
Editor, The LEADER:

T have watched
terest, the discussion of veteran
preference and feel qualified to
speak for the yet and aso the non-
vet because I am a veteran with-
out veteran preference having
made the unforgivable mistake of
not having been resident of
New York State when I enlisted.

Even though all races and ¢ 1s
from these United States fought
side by side to win the cause for
freedom, yet it appears that N. Y.
State recognizes no veteran as
suc unless he chances to be
one of her sons. :

Clearing away the smoke screen,
dispersing the mist, and brushing
away the cobwebs which confuse
the issue, the Mitchell bill stands
as unselfish and fair, The veteran
é* gives an initial advantage, and

| Whether or not he remains there
is entirely within himself.

(Continued from Page 1)
robbers business now going on in
the City.

Congressman L, Gary Clemente
last_ week introduced in the House
of Representatives a bill providing
that the mere physical act of cut-
ting into a telephone wire would
be a federal crime. Now let’s
watch for the follow-through.

People Against Wiretapping

The people are against wire-

tapping, with a unaminity broken
only by prosecutors and some
police officers.
Even in some of the NYC prosec-
utors’ offices, there 1s a pertur-
bation over the deeper mean-
ing of wiretapping. The boys in
these offices are privately talking
about the need to change the
law. There is a coterie which
would prohibit its use for evid-
ence in any way except prosecu-
tion of the case immediately at
hand, And disclosure of any in-
formation so obtained, this cot-
erie argues, should be prohibited
to anyone except when the judge
gives his OK in the public interest.
Another group says wiretapping
shouldn’t be used at all unless
judicial approval is obtained to
use it in evidence.

An Odious Practice
If wiretapping is not the most
odious activity in which govern-
ment engages, it is surely not far
from that distinction, Few of the
public authorities who use it will
defend it in any way other than
as a means to an end. The con-
cept that wiretapping is “dirty
business” runs deep with the Am-
erican people, There is no case
which can be made out for wire-
tapping which wouldn't be equally
valid for opening your mail,

Chips Away Liberty
Every newspaper reporter is
aware of the direct way in which
wiretapping chips away the lib-
erty of the people, Time and
again, a news contact will say:
“Let me call you back on another
phone,” or more bluntly, “I'm
afraid I can’t talk. This wire
might be tapped,’

Have we given consideration to
what this does to the dignity of
Americans as free men? Have we
thought what it means when a
public official feels too timid to
talk easily over a phone® When
honest citiz fear to conduct
normal business over the wires?
When everyone in opposition to
someone else with power goes
about with the firm conviction
that his wire is being tapped?
When court orders are given out
by judges for the flimsiest of
reasons, so that no real protec-
tion against the tapper is avail~
able for anyone? When even legal
wiretapping can be used for so
disgusting a purpose as it was
in the minor Choremi case a
few months ago? When the May-
or of New York City finds taps
about to be put on his wires—
and opponents of the Mayor claim
they also find taps on theirs?

It’s a Prison

How far have we departed from
our traditions, our greatness of
feeling for the inner dignity of
man, when we permit ourselves
to become enmeshed in this aural
prison?

The excuse of crime-fighting
agencies that they need to tap
wires is of less importance than
the need to preserve our freedom
to talk, Better that a few crim-
inals should go free than that
the public officia the business
men, the labor leaders, and the
unorthodox should sit in fear of
the little black gadget,

Remember, too, that the wire-
tapper gets the conversation not
only in the field in which he is
directly interested, but overhears
everything else being said, Under
present law, a policeman may
write’down even what he merely
thinks he heard, And he may as
surely get it wrong as right,

Little wonder, then, that the
practice has become a haven for
blackmailers, And has probably
made far more crime that it has
helped quell.

The present District Attorney
in Manhattan is an honorable
man. But we have ‘known dis-
reputable prosecutors — and in
the future there may be others.
Under such a regime, with wire-
tapping as a Weapon, no man
would be safe.

The NYC Mess

The New York City wiretapping
mess of the jpast two weeks had so
many elements of the ridiculous

about It that the newspapers made
an editorial holiday of it, venting
their barbs at everybody involved.
But even after the first week of
newspaper headlines and strong
statements, the residents of the
City were confused about the an-
swers to these simple questions:

What was Kenneth Ryan in-
dicted for? Wiretapping? At-
tempted wiretapping? Or escape?

Tf he was indicted for escape
what did he escape from?

Did Ryan confess"to any wrong-
doing? Specifically, to whom?

If there was strong evidence of
wiretapping in the night ques-
tioning session in Mayor O'Dwyer's
office, or later, what was the
necessity of long grand jury
proceedings?

Clearly, the grand jury must be
delving into other things, What?

What was the purpose of ques-
tioning Clendenin Ryan, leader
of the Fusionists? Was this an
attempt to tie him up with the
wiretaps found in City Hall—
or was he being given an oppor-
tunity to reveal what he knows
about City affairs?

Was Kenneth Ryan asked these
questions: Did you tap wires for
Mayor LaGuardia: Did you tap
wires for Mayor O'Dwyer? Whose
wires?

Just how was Kenneth Ryan

caught?
A Tough Case

As this is being written, the
prosecution in New York City has
a tough case, Kenneth Ryan has
not been indicted for wiretapping.
His indictment is apparently for
‘escape’ from custody, a precarious
indictment to uphold for any ex-
tensive period,
Clendenin Ryan and his Good
Government group looks bad, but
notwithstanding such screams
upon him as “crackpot” some of
his charges have a piercing
quality.
Mayor O'Dwyer looks bad, too,
in the way he's been treated in
the newspapers,
‘The only official figure that looks
as though he might come out
ahead of this deal, if he handles
himself properly, is District At-
torney Frank Hogan, (But ap-
parently calling off a press con-
ference because he didn’t like an
editorial in one newspaper isn't
handling himself properly.)

Hard for O'Dwyer

For O'Dwyer the scandal must
be extremely difficult. He is a
more sensitive man than the pub-
lic knows, and money-honest, yet
he is drawn down to the level of
wiretappers; and he finds himself
wallowing in the mud when he
is nearing the end of a term dur-
ing which his public relations,
in general, have been good,
Some of the most astute poli-
ticians around City Hall are say-
ing that it was a mistake for
O'Dwyer to become involved in
the wiretapping episode. He should
have let his subordinates handle
the whole matter or, because of
the political implications, he might
have appointed a respectable out-
sider, He would then appear like
a man above the battle, But it
has been pointed out before that
O'Dwyer has a habit of involving
himself in matters needlessly, and
getting himself “loused up” in the
process. Item the Loftus case.
Item .the Queens College case.

Clendenin Ryan, on the other
hand, has little to lose. He holds
no public office, is responsible to
no one. His many millions give
him the aura of high respectabil-
ity. He has gotten page 1 cover~
age on every newspaper in the
country. If he really has any-
thing “on” the City position, he's
in an enviable spot. If not, he’s
shaken a lot of people's confidence
in the administration by his wind,

Where is the man who will be-
come celebrated for doing what
the people want done — abolishing
for good any cloak of legality, for
any form of wiretapping?

Plans Announced
For Final Rush

Arrangements for handling the
last-day crowd that will apply for
the Sanitation Man (Class B) ex-
amination have been made by the
NYC Civil Service Commission,
President Joseph A. McNamara
said that there will be an extra
detail of police on hand on that
March 24. At 4
p.m., the official daily time limit,
the Patrolmen will fall in at the
end of the line of applicants and
stop anybody from getting on the
line after that.
What Board Will Do

“The Commission will issue ap-
Plications to all those on line at
staying open as late as
‘y to accomodate them,”
added President McNamara, “but
I repeat my warning, published
in last week's LEADER, that those
who are seeking Sanitation Man
jobs shouldn’t wait until the last
day. They should apply now, or, if
that’s impossible, some time this
week. The facilities for accomo-
dating them, at the Application
Bureau, are excellent and they
will avoid inconvenience that they

JOB SECURITY 10 BE DISCUSSED

(Continued from Page 1)

eral Career Employees Association
of New York, is expected to be
heavily attended; and all Federal
workers in the New York area are
invited,

® The organization, looking at
New York State's Mitchell bill,
seeks a more equitable veteran pre-
ference approach, I. H. Unger, an
officer of the Association, in de-
scribing the purposes of the March
31 meeting, said:

“The Federal Civil Service career
system, which presently permits a
veteran with one year of service
(one day, in fact) to displace a
non-veter ith a generation or
more of Y will eventually
bring the Federal service into a
state of irretrievable disrepute.”
~ Gets Notice After 24 Years

Mr, Unger will shortly start his
24th year of continuous Federal

rvice, yet only one ar ago he

ived a reduction-in-force no-

e from the Veterans Adminis-
tration. His job was saved only
by the iatervention of a person-
nel officer,

The Federal Career Employees
Association has gathered informa-

tion about hundreds such cases,
Seeks Job Security

The F.C.E.A, is a nation-wide
organization set up for the pur-
pose of “protecting job security
of employees with long service.”
The group seeks to obtain pas-
sage of S, 660, modifying super-
seniority at 10 years, or H.R, 2446,
modifying super-seniority at 7
years, with unlimited seniority for
veterans disabled to a degree of
60% or more, The group also
seeks, by executive order and civil
service regulation, security for
career employees in case of reduc-
tion-in-force,

The Central Trades High School
Auditorium is at 225 West 24th
Street, NYC,

Offic of the group, the NYC
Veterans Administration chapter,
include: I. H. Stillman, presiden
‘Theodore J. Savath, executive s
retary; Sidney Goodstein, Sara 5.
Feldstone, and Leo Solomon, vice-
presidents; Rosina D, Stich, treas-
urer; and Hazel Thorne, recording
secretary. Additional information
about the group may be obtained
from Mr, Savath at 1456-58th

the 105,000 new probational (per-
manent) appointments to full-
time positions in the competitive
civil service during 1948, the U.S.
Civil Service Commission stated.
An average monthly total of near-
ly 5,000 veterans was added to the

by all Federal agencies in the exe-
cutive branch throughout contin-
ental United States,

NEW YORK CITY NEWS

Transit Workers Discuss
Drive for 40-Hour Week

Sections of the Transport
Workers Union are holding meet-
ings, which will continue until
about mid-April, on the program
for 1949, When the members’
preferences are voted, the execut-
ive committee will decide on means
of attempting to attain the goals.

Judging from the many re-
quests for one of the union’s
booklets, dealing with the hours
of work, it appears that there will
be strong sentiment for a 40-hour
week. At present the hours vary,
About 75 per cent of the operating
and maintenance employees in
the NYC Transit System work on
a 48-hour week basis, including

Conductors, Motormen and Rail-
road Clerks. Others work 45 or 44
hours a week.

Idea of the Cost

A change to a 40-hour week,
for the Board of Transportation
employees alone, is figured to cost
at least $30,000,000 a year, on the
basis of no reduction in total pay
if weal hours worked are reduced
to 40,

Besides the Transportation em-
ployees, including clerical help,
city employees in general show an
interest in a 40-hour week. No
city department has a general 40-
hour week, but many in practice
come Close to it, since only a half

day every sixth or eighth Satur-
day has to be worked, constituting
excess over 40 hours of 3 or 3%
hours divided by six or eight, or
about 40% hours a week,

Sanitation Men Interested, Too

The Sanitation. Department's
Uniformed force is -particularly
interested in a 40-hour week,

Bills have been introduced in
the Legislature in Albany on the
subject, for Transportation and
Sanitation employees, but aren’t
making headway,

The Board of Transportation
has authority to institute a 40-
hour week, while the Board of
Estimate could do likewise for the
other city employees,

only that the taxpayers pass up-
on our request at the polls next
November. Frankly, the purpose
of the referendum, as we see it,
is to establish our salary by State
law, approved by a vote of the
people, so that such salary can
be reduced only by State law.

“The method proposed is a
matter of tradition in the fixing
of salaries for members of the
uniformed forces of the Police and
rtments, who, by virtue
zards of their occupa-
tions, are conceded certain added
securities in the form of guaran-
teed salaries and adequate pen-
sions, This was recognized in 1929
when the late Franklin D, Roose-
velt, then Governor of the State
of New York, signed a legislative
measure making it possible for
police and firemen of the city to
go to the people for approval of
a proposed permanent salary of
$3,000 a year; it is upon this pre-

cedent that we now base our re-

weiotter

quest for a Message of Necessity
to the State Legislature,

“ The present compensation re-
ceived by the city’s firefighters is
far Short of the requirements of
the present level of living costs.

“Even if the spiralling of living
costs should be halted, our present
$3,400 base pay, plus cost-of-liy-
ing bonus of $750 per annum, will
still fall far short of the general
industrial scale. Our base pay and
cost-of-living bonus represent a
39 per cent increase in income,
while the cost of living has risen
70 per cent, leaving a disparity of
31 percent against us.

“The actual take-home pay is
considerably lower than our pay-
roll scale due to the many deduc-
tions made from our salary.

“It has been argued that the
legislation requested in the reso-
lution would cost the city some
$3,400,000 in the 1950-51 budget,
if every man eligible for retire-
ment should file a pension ap-
plication, Such argument is based
on fallacy. Factually, few mem-
bers of the law enforcement and
firefighting professions take ad-
vantage of the minimum 20-year-
service eligibility for pensions,
Most men in the uniformed forces
remain in service as long as they
are physically able to carry on,
because there is little if any way

RURAL 2 FAMILY
res of Rood land, 4 acre wood-

with 33

of adding to their pension income.
This is particularly true in cases
where police or firemen have large
families to support. And, I might
add that most members of the
uniformed forces of both depart-
ments are given to raising large
families,

“Pensions now determined on
the basis of $3,400 do not take in-
to consideration the $750 paid as
a cost-of-living bonus, penalizing
of widows, disabled firemen and
their dependents and tending to
defeat the purpose and spirit of
the pension law,

“Failure to obtain a determina-
tion would likely impair person-
nel relationship in the Fire De-
partment.”

Quayle to Make
Five April 1 Promotions
Of Fire Officers

Fire Commissioner Frank J.
Quayle will make five promotions
and appoint one Fireman, effect-
ive April 1. The promotions are
one each to Lieutenant, Captain,
Batallion Chief, Deputy Chief and
Deputy Chief of Staff and Opera-
tions, the last-named for Deputy
Chief George Carlen. Budget
Director Thomas J. Patterson has
approved the budget certificates,

Mr, Patterson has an oral re-

The eligible list for promotion
to Sergeant (P.D.) will be prom-
ulgated by the NYC Civil Service
Commission on Tuesday, March
29, the same day that it is pub-
lished, said President Joseph A.
McNamara,

The list was published before,
but court cases held up the prom-
ulgation. Now it has to be re-
Published because of the changes
in the list necessitated by three
court decisions. The list, as orig-
inally published, had 1,852 names.
It has shrunk to about 1,475, a
reduction of about 377.

Another Case Goes On

The Acting Sergeants, who have
been receiving top grade Patrol-
man pay, instead of Sergeant pay,
are extremely anxious to get per-

manent promotions, as already the
court cases by others have

tion period is a re-opening, Too
many who previously filed for the
new test did not possess the pre-
liminary requirements. Those
whose applications are in need not
apply again. In January 3,081 ap-
plied; 426 didn’t meet the pre-
liminary requirements.

The April 30 date of the writ-
ten test is off, because of the re-
opening. Some date late in June
or early in July, not set yet, will
be substituted,

The experience requirement is
three years within the past 10, in-
stead of past six years, which con-
stitutes the liberalization,

What candidates must possess,
to qualify, is stated in the official
notice as follows:

“Minimum requirements: Candi-
dates must have graduated from
a senior high school and in addi-
tion must have (a) a baccalaure-
ate degree from an_ institution
which has had such degree regis-
tered by the University of the
State of New York; or
full years of education towards a
baccalaureate degree plus three
years of full-time paid experience,
within the past 10 years, in social
case work in a public or private
social agency adhering to accept-
able standards; or (c) a satis-
factory equivalent, Persons who
expect to graduate by June, 1949,
will be admitted to this examina-
tion, but must present evidence to
the Bureau of Investigation that
they have complied with the fore-
going requirements prior to cer-
tification.”

The foregoing means that no
college degree is required, but if
Possessed, substitutes for the ex-
perience requirement; two years
at college reduces the experience
requirement to the stated terms;

ALBANY, March 21—President
|Joseph A. McNamara and Exam-
inations Director Samuel H. Gal-
ston, of the NYC Civil Service
Commission, conferred with Pres
dent J, Albert Conway and Com-
missioners Alexander A. Falk and
Louise Gerry, of the State Civil
Service Commission, on an ex-
tension of the time limit for re-
taining provisionals, That limit,
as it now stands, is June 30 next.
Last December 31 the time limit
expired for retaining war-duration
provisionals, and the NYC Com-
mission met the deadline. It finds
now, it told the State officials, that
it will be impossible to get the
number of peace-time provision-
als anywhere near zero by June
30, as they number more than
26,000 now.

Difficulties Cited by Galston

Mr. Galston cited difficulties in
filling jobs in certain titles, even
though eligible lists exist, or ex-
isted until recently: Social In-

|Grade 2, 922; Typist, Grade 2,

‘The war-duration rule permitted
longer retention of provisionals.

Mr, David Turner, ‘editor of
Arco's famous Civil Service Guide

exam is proper preparation,

“If an applicant knows the type
of questions he will be asked; if
|he has some idea of the sort of
test given before, his chances of
| passing high are tremendously in-
creased,” said Mr. Turner. “Any
where from 50 per cent to 75 p
cent of those who fail do so be-
cause they haven't bothered to pre-
pare for it.” Mr, Turner w
to point out that due to inc
unemployment more and more
men and women were applying
for Civil Service jobs . . . so the
competition was growing stiffer.
“That makes it doubly important
for every applicant to make sure
he is properly prepared.”

Perhaps the easiest and quick-
est way to prepare for any Civil
Service test is with the help of
Arco Civil Service Guides, Since
1938, these amazing books have
helped thousands of men and wo-
men enter and advance in the
Civil Service field. Mr. Turner has
hundreds of letters of praise on
file, from people all over the coun-
try who have used these books
with great success.

“There's no mystery about the
popularity of our books,” contin-
ued Mr. Turner, “We've had years

Sharkey Bill Provides

New York City employees were

The plan is embodied in a bill
