ALBANY, Feb. 28—In
language, Governor Thomas E.|
Dewey has reaffirmed the reality
of a “wage-freeze” for State em-
ployees, to go into effect this year,
In addition, he revealed that an
executive order setting up labor
relations machinery for State em-
ployees is on his desk awaiting
signature,

He reported also that he had
signed an order covering employ-
ees of Matteawan, Dannemora, Al.
bion and Bedford into the com-
petitive class,

This information, together with
a critique of the quality of civil
service examinations, came in an
address before 400 delegates of
the Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, assembled in Albany's
DeWitt Clinton Hotel on Thurs-
day, February 24,

How Do You
Measure Zeal?
Dewey Asks

ALBANY, Feb, 28—In an im-
promptu critique of civil service
examinations, Governor Dewey last
week asked some core questions
about the subject. It was in the
course of his far-ranging address
before the delegates of the Civil
Service Employees Association on
Thursday, February 24,

“We must improve the quality of
exams,” the Goyernor argued.
“How “do you measure zeal? How
do you.measure devotion? Im-
agination? When you solve that
one you will really make civil
service work.

This Is Not Enough

“I was impressed by the Direct-
or of Examinations, with his de-
sire to find a way of figuring out
what you can’t put on paper.
Merely being able to write some-
thing on a piece of paper in an-
swer to a question does not make
the wheels of society run, does
not cure mental patients, does not
build better bridges or
lasting highways.

“I wish all who seek to make civil
service something better than a
pawn for marauding changes of |
administration would seek means
of evaluating the qualities of lead-
ership, What makes this thing
go? It's the most important thing
to civil service, If we can solve
that one, you'll make civil ser.
vice a great thing and it will have
the affection of all, for it will

make government more responsive,”

It’s 24 to 1

The inal tally is in, The
LEADER's ballot on the Mitchell
and Condon voteran preference

sults, from all parts of New York

bly Judiciary Committees last.

ALBANY, Feb, 28—The LEAD-
ER learns that a great opportun-
ity for people seeking to enter
State service is soon to be an-
nounced—probably next week.

Requiring little more than high
school education, the position of
ssistant Interviewer in the Div-
ision of Placement and Unem-
ployment Insurance will be opened
to applicants. The pay is $2,346
a year at the start.

2 Years in Business

In addition to a high school
diploma, the only other major re-
quirement is two years of busin
experience, at least one of which
must show ability to deal with|
people. College graduates don’t
need to show the business ex-
perience,

Actually, nearly any kind of
business experience is acceptable
—saleswork, paying or receiving
teller, interviewer of applicants,
receptionist, secretary or assistant,
where you deal with people, as a
tax collector, etc,

Applications will be obtainable
at offices of the State Civil Ser-
vice Department, in the follow-
ing places: State Office Building,
Albany; 270 Broadway, NYC;
State Office Building, Buffalo.

(This will be a very popular
exam. Watch next week’s LEAD-
|ER for more details.)

STATE AND COUNTY NEWS

Dewey Gives Assurance
Of Bonus Freeze This Year

(Continued from Page 1)
the Governor declared, “provided
of course the Legislature ac-
quiesces,” he added with a chuckle,

A Technical Job

“I understand,” he said, “there
has been some confusion about
the freezing in of the temporary
cost-of-living bonus,

“The reason it had to be pre-
sented that way is that nobody
has the genius to line out 76,000
Jobs in the short time available
to us before printing the budget.
The purpose of the recommenda-
tion in the message was that the
Legislature was asked to freeze
the temporary bonus into the per-
manent scales, A bill is being
drawn to make the entire range
of pay permanent as of April 1,
this year.” The Governor em-|
phasized “this year.”

He went on to explain the tech- |
nical nature of re-working the
line items in the budget to include
the cost-of-living adjustment. It|
could be done, he said, by next
January 1, after which all the
items would be incorporated. the |
base scales plus the bonus. Until |

is done, the bill which has

een drawn assures that for all

practical purposes the base rate

and the bonus are one and the

same thing, “frozen in,” as of

April 1, 1949—provided the Legis-
lature concu

(The Executive Budget is pre-|

pared and printed long in ad-|

vance of the date upon Which |
it is submitted and, in fact,

had been printed before the ad- | ¢

ministration and the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Association had|
agreed to incorporate the bonus
into basic scales, The agree-
ment thevefore presented an ex-
tremely technical problem, par- |
ticularly because the budget, as
written, carries the present ba-
sic scales on line items for po-

sitions allocated to the items.
Reprinting the entire budget was
physically impossible because
the Constitution requires that
the budget be submitted on or
before February 1 each year.
The agreement between the ad-
ministration and the Associa-
tion was not finally consum-
mated until January 28, 1949.
The bill referred to by the Gov-
ernor, expected to be passed at
this session, will enact new basic
scales into which the present
emergency bonus will be in-
corporated. Several bills to pro-
vide for non-Feld-Hamilton em-
ployees are also on schedule.)
abor Relations
Mr. Dewey gave the impression
that the labor relations setup will
be a far-reaching one, “It is a
means to establish on a more
universal basis our relations to be
handled in a more efficient way.

I have on my desk a document
which sets up a broadly-conceived
method for the speedy, efficient
settlement of grievances at all
jJevels, I confidently expect it

ill be a great achievement in
the State, I don’t suppose it will
be perfect. But I hope it will
work. If it doesn’t, we'll sit down
with the officers of the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Association and
make it work.”

Tribute to Association

In a tribute to the SCEA, he
pointed out fhat the organization
had worked for years to attain
this achievement. “You can ‘sit
around the table with anyone who
has good will. We have disagreed
on almost every subject, but as it
gets kicked around, there emerges
a large area of agreement. And
we have agreement with the larg-
est organization of professional
people.”

Maintenance Tax

Hits All 48 States

ALBANY, Feb. 28—A law suit is
to be started, The LEADER
learned, to test the legality of a
ruling by the U, S/ Internal Rev-
enue Bureau holding that main-

tenance is subject to Federal in-|48 States and even Army and}

tax imposed on maintenance pre-
viously, but in a surprise ruling
a month ago the Bureau reversed
itself.

It V a Good Play

The occasion was the play “Life

Witt Clinton's Ballroom at the
Dinner-meeting of the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Association on

ALBANY, Feb. 28—A_ special
committee set up by Governor
Dewey to study the possibilities
of a one-man civil service com-
mission and reorganization of the
department came up with its pro-
Posals last week.

The committee report indicated

frank admission by the members
that they were unable to arrive
at a joint recommendation, The
report carries all the points of
disagreement, and sets forth two
plans, together with proposed leg-
islation, from which the Governor
could choose.

The essential division is this:

1, Should the Civil Service Com-
mission be a three-man body with
its president an active admini-
strative head, or—

2. Should the Civil Service De-
partment have a single personnel
administrator, with a three-man
group under ‘him havjng certain
assigned quasi-judicial’ and quasi-
legislative duties?

The Members

Members of the Governor's
committee were: J, Edward Con-
way, president of the Civil Ser-
vice Commission; Alex Falk, mem-
ber of the Commission; H. Elliot
Kaplan, Deputy Comptroller;
Lawrence E. Walsh, sistant
Counsel to the Governor; and John
T. DeGraff, counsel to the Civil
Service Employees Association.

At one point, indicating the
depth of the r: the committee,
the report read:

is the only solution to the prob-

State of Maryland, states, “In my
jopinion, a man should be eligible
| for retirement at half pay after
working as a_ prison guard for
twenty years. It is strenuous work
and I believe the system would
|be much better off by allowing
men to go with a reasonable pen-
sion after twenty years of service
and I believe it would also enable

thing out of life during his later
years.”

As Superintendent of Prisons,
Mr. Donnell is well acquainted
with the work of the prison officer
and no doubt speaks frony exper~

tives Committee made an ex-
haustive study before releasing
its findings. When will the

automatic and the employee has
the right to show that his absence
was justified or excusable. No
such provision is contained in the
Condon-Wadlin bill which is open

Classification
And Salary Boards’
Unification Proposed

A bill proposing consolidating
the divisions of Classification and
Salary Standardization has been
drafted but not introduced yet, It
creates a three-member board to
handle work now done by both
Classification Board and the Sal-
ary Board. The new board would
be on a full-time basis, with the
director of the consolidated diy-
isions being named chairman, One
of the other members would be
appointed by the Budget Director
‘and the other by the Civil Ser-
vice Commission, according to one
informant, but this would leave
out any direct employee repre-
sentation,

All present staff employees of
both divisions would be retained,

Salaries for the new board
would be paid out of Civil Ser-
vice Department allocations.

THE TEST OF THE PUDDING

HE TEST of the pudding is in the eating thereof, A

trained and skilled chef or baker may be able to tell
how the cooking is going on, and to prophesy the final result,
but for the average mortal, the final result is made manifest
only by tasting and eating,

I have frequently watched the untidy messes that ave
a large part of the cooking process, I have wondered how
anything appetizing can come m such messy processes,

I have had some small experience in the processes by
which advances are won for the public employees

To know “what’s cooking” in politics*and in leg
is not easy. To put and to keep your own pot or s
project boiling requires time, patience and finesse and even
with all these it is hard to achieve a culinary masterpiece,
You must have a bag full of projects, a mind full of clever
ideas and devices, and above all, ability to meet the lords
of destiny on their own terms and conditions, You must
expect some failures and some half succes: The proof
of your brewing is in your achievements, not in your failures,

Not Enough Plums ;

Fourteen million and more New York State citizens want
either directly or indirectly to put their thumbs in the
political pie and to pull out their favorite plums. There
just aren’t enough plums to go ’round. So the 14 million
organize into parties, unions, associations, taxpayer groups
and the like in the hope of better thumb-fishing. Some
demand all the plums. Some threaten the makers of the
pies. Some slander their rival plum thumbers. The wisest
try-to convince. the lawmakers and the policymakers that
a complete and wholesome diet includes many other things
than just plums, and they will be satisfied with their fair
share of the many available benefits and desirable reforms,

Of course, many of the 14 million with a special yen
for plums, cry out on the “compromises” claiming that
their own just interests are being sold out. This natural
reaction is good, for it tends to keep the negotiators close

| to the interests of those they represent. The group, how-

ever, should be wise enough to wait to balance the gains
actually made against the so-called losses, to see if more
is not really gained by reasonable behavior than by “Jack
Horner” tacties.

Department Chapter, The Civil
Service Employees Association, is
in favor of establishing Associa~

population, if another constitu-
tional change is approved, which
would set up a new method of
representation on the Board of
Directors.

This was the expression of
opinion at a recent chapter meet-
ing in the State Office Building,
presided over by John R. Clark,

president. Other matters discussed
included veterans’ preference in
civil service appointments. Mr.
Clark announced the chapter has

The Middletown State Hospital

Dr, Schmitz discussed the ad-
ministrative and personnel prob-
Jems of the institution.

“We are all part of a great en-
deavor, each with a particular
job to do,” he said.

I¢ is the personnel, not bricks
and mortar, which makes an in-
stitution and the employees have
the greatest opportunity to serve
humanity, he added. He discussed
the Snake Pit, which is now being
shown in Middletown, calling the
presentation distorted and unbal-
anced. The top-sergeant type of
supervisors and nurses, devoid of
kindness and sympathetic under-
standing, misrepresent psychiatric
nurses, as we Know them, he de-
clared.

The crude and unfortunate de-
piction of the medical staff, except
for the hero, may have been rep-
resentative of the distorted con-
ception of reality formed by the
patient, but to the public it is

Freezing P

art of Pay

Creates Perilous Risk

REEZING less than the full amount of the bonus into
the base pay of NYC employees creates the menace of
the remainder being totally wiped off the pay check in the
future. That is the main reason why acceptance of lesser
than the full amount is opposed by employees and why the
line organizations of the Police and Fire Departments want

a referendum on their pay.

If Mayor William O’Dwyer sent a message of necessity
to the Legislature, the bill for referendum already intro-
duced by Assemblyman Frank McGowan, (D., ALP. Man-

hattan), would be passed.

The voters at the polls next

November would be glad to approve a $4,150 base salary

for Patrolmen and Firemen,
crease in pay; in fact, ta

That would not be any in-

-home pay would be less, by

the amount of extra deduction from salary for pension

contributions,

The pattern set for the uniformed forces would have

to be applied generally, as a

matter of fairness, therefore

all city employees have a deep concern in the referendum,
which is being so strongly fought for by the Uniformed
Firemen’s Association and the Uniformed Fire Officers As-
sociation. At this writing it appears that Patrolmen’s Ben-
evolent Association leadership is willing to settle for less,

say, a $300 freeze for the uniformed force, but there is]

no proof that the PBA membership in general thinks highly
of such capitulation. Nor would the idea of $300 now, and
the rest maybe later, have any attraction. What is lost now
must be considered lost forever,

What Employees Should Know

By THEODORE BECKER

THERE is a vocal, if not large,
segment of the public which tends
to associate public employees with
“red tape” and to lump them both
under the term “bureaucracy,” in
Its most uncomplimentary sense.
Whether the motive behind such
name—calling is to ridicule gov-
ernment regulation in general, or
to call attention to the need for
greater efficiency in goveri.mental
operations, the fact is that as
public employees you are often

uti on the defensive by these

lasts. Looking around you, you
may notice a great many proced-
ural details that seem to justify
the complaint. You were required
to fill out a detailed application
form when you applied for your
ublic job. You had to take
lengthy and difficult, examinations,
You had to establish your veteran’:
status to obtain desired pref-
erence, if you had served in the
armed forces. You had to undergo
@ ..ysical examination and to
stand a character investigation.
You may have been finger-printed;
and you were required to take an
oath of office when appointed.
And if fate was kind you got your
frst, semi-monthly check within
a month after you started work.

‘The red tape involved in con-
verting you from a member of
the public to a servant of the
public you accepted as required
by law — the public will,

Do’s and Dont’s

When you were introduced to
vour boss, you received a briefing
om the do's and don'ts controlling
your behavior on the job, In the
nore advanced jurisdictions or
departments you were given a
manual describing your agency

nd your rights and obligations,
[n any case, your supervisor prob-

bly explained what was in con~
idential in your job, whom you
ook orders from and to whom

‘” gave orders, how far you

ould act on your own respon-

bility and when you should get
is prior approval, He pointed
ut the lines of authority and
ommunication and expected you

) respect them. And, if your

sor neglected to tell you

e things originally, he was
tely to do so later, if you dem-
istrated that you weren't aware

these internal regulations. Since
you have become adjusted you
are not likely to be painfully
aware of the internal restrictions,
but you are likely to be constantly
aware of their existence, And
this red tape is not so easily
recognized as related to specific
laws or to the public interest. All
of this may induce you to agree
with those who seek to draw a
“red tape" across governmental
activity.
In the Public Interest

But actually the procedures and
regulations guiding the conduct of
public business and public em-
ployees are as often defended by
neutral students of public ad~
ministration as they are attacked.
The question is one of balance,
Is the amount of red tape used
actually necessary to achieve the
results? Are the returns in savings
worth the costly accounting and
auditing procedures set up to avoid
even the most minute loss? Does
the need for uniformity in treat-
ment outweight considerations of
inequity or even injustice in
hardship cases? It is generally
agreed that whatever the answer,
the public interest in a democracy
such as ours is paramount. This
calls for a public awareness that
much of the “red tape” of which
some of its members complain is
induced by the anticipated hue
and cry that would be raised by
these self-same members should
mistake by a public servant come
to light. Because public employees
are held strictly accountable to
and by the public for their offi-
cial acts, they are inclined to take
the utmost precaution to minimize
the possibilities of such mistakes.
They tend to be unwilling to take
the chance of short-cutting es-
tablished procedure. Nor can they
expect encouragement from their
supervisors to make such depart-
ure, In many cases, these proced-
ures are designed for the specific
protection of the public and the
public purse, Sometimes they are
incorporated into the law.

Seeing what can happen when
public employees get off the beaten
path will, perhaps, explain why
the winding red tape is so as-
siduously followed. In our next
column we will discuss two actual
cases of such avoidance of red

the items out of our program you
think we shouldn't undertake.”

The outburst against the Gov-
ernor’ budget in his own party
seems to some of the Dewey ad-
herents the work of sheer in-
grates, The rebels include men who
felt they would have had im-
portant voices in the naming of

Dewey had been elected to the
Presidency. In addition to the
obvious clash on principles, there
are subtle overtones and under-
tones involved. But Don’t Re-
peat This predicts that the Gov-
ernor will come out on top over
the boys in his party who now op-
pose him, There may be cuts in
the nearly $1,000,000,000 but they
won’t have any drastic effect on
the over-all program,
No Rebellion This

‘The “rebellion” in Republican
ranks, a screaming word on the
front pages of the newspapers
these past weeks, is a little thing
indeed, hardly meriting so stanch
a description, There is neither
“rebellion” nor “revolt.” None of
the bitterness, none of the spew-
ing vituperation, none of the “well.
it's-time-to-make-the-break-now”
attitude is apparent among the
Republicans in Westchester and
Erie counties who are spearhead-
ing the attack on the budget. It
is being done in a polite oh-I’m-
Sa-sorry manner, The rebels are
not in the least anxious to break
with the Governor nor to embroil
their party in a strife so formid-
able as to jeopardize the 1950
elections.

The rebellion is only in the
headlines, not in the news,

Accumulated Resentment

There are accumulated resent-
ments, built up over the years,
within the Republican party, just
as there were against Roosevelt
in the Democratic party. The loss
of the Presidency left deep wounds,
and it is only human that the
party leaders and the legislators
Should seek to take it out on the
man who lost. As one party stal-
wart put it to this column: “We
not only had the cake, we had it
stuffed down in our mouths, when
suddenly it was snatched away
from us.”

Puppets?

On top of this is the natural
resentment against years of what
the legislators consider control by
the Governor's office, They've of-
ten in the past whispered about
being puppets pulled on strings,
Now a few of them are beginning
to break free,

The Squeeze

are caught in a squeeze, too, be-
tween party regularity and the
tide of anti-tax feeling in that
county. Westchester, richest of
counties, has a tradition of tax
opposition, There was a time
when a taxpayers strike threatened
in that county against Governor
Lehman. Moreover, many of the
medium-high bracket Westchester
residents with plush jobs in NYC
own homes with high assessments.
They put everything into those
homes, And they'll be damned
if they can see giving their money
to the State for universities and
other fol-de-rol to lesser mortals
who don’t live in Westchester.
They don’t see “why in hell we
have to support the poorer count-
jes” in any form,
Pressure Grows on Itself

The Westchester legislators are
feeling this pressure, and ft is
strong enough to make them re-
sist the Governor's budget, It
started with a few letters, and
then as the legislators began to
make headlines the numbers in-
creased to the thousands, The
pressure grew on itself,

That explains in part why Liv-
ingston Platt, Westchester boss,
and his potent law partner Wil-
liam Bleakley, are standing up
against the Republican head of
the State.

As for the Erie County boys, it
1s admitted-in GOP circles that
they wouldn’t have been in the
opposition camp had Westchester
not headed the attack,

Aren't the legislators and_ the
lcounty bosses vulnerable? Can't

moving patronage, Isn't that
what the Dewey of ten years ago
would have done?

The answer is that they and
the State administration need each
other. An election is coming on.
Dewey cannot afford at this time
‘to damage party support by play-.

ambassadors and other bigwigs if| to

The legislators in Westchester |_

jthe Governor punish them by re- |]

ing around with patronage. And
on the other side, is a basic
reason, also, why the revolt is
not @ real one. The leaders need
Dewey.

From a political point of view,
however, some of the shrewder
boys are saying that if Westchester
and Erie succeed in cutting vital
parts out of the budget, it’s going
hurt the party. Here's the
reasoning:

Consider a Case

Suppose’ road-building were cut.
Now it so happens that in many
upstate communities the’ farmers
seek work on the roads for a
few months of the year. And i
so happens, too, that who gets
these jobs is determined by the
local GOP leaders, It’s a lesser
form of patronage, but so many
thousands of people get these
temporary jobs that they form an
important voting bloc. This might
not mean very much to West-
chester, but it means a lot to the
upstate counties, And it means a
lot to the GOP State Committee.
This example indicates, too, why
GOP legislators—those opposing
the budget—are having an inner
battle about what they want cut,

Another significant development
is the fact that State employees
might be hurt by the tax-cutting
maneuvers, These employees form
cohesive, powerful unit, strongly
conscious of their aims and needs,
and well informed about the people
who help them or injure them, If
the present situation in the Legis-
lature should redound to their in-
jury, the repercussions could be
far-reaching,

Democrat Tactics

further tactical approach to the
budget, too, It is lHkely to come

Extra Penalty
For Wrong Answers
Abandoned as Useless

The Board of Examiners, NYC
Board of Education, announced |
that a change in its method of
computing scores on short answer
tests, utilized in all written tests
given since November 1948, will
|remain in effect permanently,
| Scores are now based on the
number of correct answers re-|
|corded by the candidate without |
|deduction for errors or omissions. |
Formerly the score was arrived at |
by deducting one-third of the
errors from the number of right
answers in four-part multiple
choice tests, to minimize the effect.
of guessing,

The change was decided upon
by the Board of Examiners after
considerable research. An exam-
ination taken by 634 applicants
was subject to statistical analysis
to determine the relationship be-
tween the two methods of marking
the 200 items on the short answer
test. The study showed that there
was a correlation of 97.5 between
the two systems of marking. This
indicated that the relative stand-
ing of individuals was not changed
materially by crediting the num-
ber of correct scores without sub-
tractions,

As a result of these and other
considerations, applicants are now
urged to answer all questions, since
their scores will be based only on |
correct responses, The new policy, |
according to the Board, does not |
necessarily imply any change of
standards of satisfactory perform-
ance,

EDITORIAL

More People Seek
Public Jobs Now

IVIL Service Commissions are benefiting from the

decline of job opportunities in private industry. There
has been a rise in the number of applicants for govern-
ment jobs and in the requests for restoration of names
on eligible lists, by persons who previously had declined
job offers. With a falling off of business in some indus-
tries, including even large ones, and resulting layoffs, the
security of public employment is becoming a magnetic
factor once again. ‘

The former tens of columns of help wanted advertis-
ing have shrunk, prices of some staples are dropping,
fewer jobs in private industry are to be had for the ask-
ing, and Civil Service Commissions no doubt hope that
they can fill with capable employees the jobs that they
have found almost impossible to fill for so many yea
But the effect will no doubt be general, so that all exam-
inations will draw more applicants, including the largest
examinations. A significant clue will be given after NYC
opens its Sanitation Man examination, on Wednesday,
March 9. If more than 20,000 apply, you can be sure
that the rush to government jobs is on again in full swing.
The longer lines at application windows show that the
trend has started,

Improved Recruitment Still a Top Requirement

Economists are not alarmed by conditions in private
industry, because they anticipated air being let out of
the inflation balloon, so prices could reach a level of
sanity and also a dec se in purchasing and traftie would
cause layoffs, as did temporary material shortages. Short-
ages and receding business are oppositely effective on
prices, but not on layoffs.

It should be no incentive to Civil Service Commissions
to continue to abdicate responsibilities for energetic re-
cruitment, just because private industry’ momentary
status makes conditions favorable for public job reeruit-
ment. Rather, public job recruitment should be put on
as keen a basis as that of «private industry, should even
lead, instead of trailing as distantly as it does. Recruit-
ment of the best possible employees, regardless of econ-
omic trends, should be the constant civil service goal.

New Rule Sets
Overseas Rates

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 — The
Civil Service Commission has ap-
proved regulations governing the
payment of additional compensa-
tion in the form of “Territorial
post differentials” and cost-of-
living allowances for Federal ¢1
Ployees stationed in the various
Territories and possessions of the
United States, other than em-
ployees in the Panama Canal
Zone, whose basic pay is set by
statute, The regulations will be
effective, at the option of the
agencies, on January 1, at the be-
ginning of a pay period including
January 1, or any intermediate
date between the two.

Provisions of the new regula~
tions will make no substantial
change in the compensation of
the 25,000 employees affected. The
regulations provide for additional
pay of 25 per cent of the rate of
basic compensation for employees
in the Territories and possessions,
which is the maximum amount
authorized by law and the rate
now being paid by practically all
agencies concerned, One change
made by the new regulations pro-
vides that retirement deductions
will no longer be made from the
additional pay authorized for such
employees, The deductions will
now be made only from the basic
compensation, excluding the ad-
ditional pay, and as @ result em-

loyees will have more “take

ome” pay. The additional pay
will be subject to income tax.

Post Oifice Clerks Shree:
Top Bills to Legislators

nen

The New York State Federation
of Post Office Clerks has sent let-
ters to all members of the 81st
Congress, listing the eight bills in
which the Federation is interested.

As an instance, the Brooklyn
General Post Office group, in
@ missive sent by George 5.
Ernenwein, president, and Sam-
uel L, Levine, chairman, legisla-
tive committee, wrote the legis-
lators that these are “the more
important” measures:

1, The Military Service Credits
Bills H.R. 87, H.R. 932 and 8S,
689, These bills would grant vet-
erans credit for time served in the
Armed Forces.

2. Salary increase legislation,
S, 558, which would provide for
an upward revision of postal em-
Ployee’s salaries so as to restore
their purchasing power and living
standards. They are still far be-
low their 1939 level.

3. Amendments to the Com-
pensation for Injury Act, H.R,
1236 and S, 239,

4, 26 days annual and 15 days
sick leave, H.R. 1304 and 8, 234,
All other Federal employees are
accorded these privileges and we
believe postal employees entitled
to similar consideration,

5. Longevity pay and credit for
past service 8. 542, with an
amendment to include employees
of 2nd class offices, thereby cor-
recting certain provisions of Pub-
lic Law 134 and granting full credit
for long years of faithful service.

6. Liberalized retirement legis-
lation in line with our program
including: optional retirement af.
ter 25 years of service with no
age limit; full widows annuity
without deductions and regard~
less of her age; elimination of de-
ductions for those under 60 years
of age; and a further increase in
the formula, The enactment of

Abraham Lincoln, John Hancock, |
Paul Revere, ete.

tional Antiques Show to explain
the aims of the Society as well
as the collecting of autographs to
the expected 100,000 visitors, Two

Theme of Show |

‘The theme of the show is the
sensible use of antiques in the
homes of sensible Americans. ae
is the reason for the daily ir
talks by Mr. Riedel, Also, the 150
dealers at the show — the largest
number ever to be in an antique
show — have assured the manage-
ment they will keep prices down
in a move to stimulate the use of
antiques in this period of high
prices. Every variety of antiques

is to be om display for sale and
ooaeee

For the dormant antiques trade,
the National Antiques Show is
considered a negessary_shot-in-
the-arm. Dealers realize that they
see more visitors in a week at
Madison Square Garden than in
five years in their shops, The
management of the show is spend-
ing more money than ever before
in advertising promotion, to as-
sure the dealers of the largest pos-
sible crowd of collectors and
buyers.

Younger members of the de-

the Police Pension Fund, seek to
amend’ the Administrative Code

Assemblyman Roman (R., N. Y.).
Spokesmen for the bill say that
there is no single provision that
has not been approved by the
PBA. An analysis of the bill, they
said, would show:

1, The major provision calling
for # division of costs of 70%~
30%, instead of the present 55%-
45%, was approved by resolution
of the Delegate Body. .

2. Increase in interest rates
from 3% to 4%—A separate meas-
ure to that effect has been in-
troduced in Albany by the PBA.

3. Minimum widow's pension for
Patrolmen killed in the line of
duty of one-half ‘a first-grade
bh salary—Separate bills

ave been introduced in the Coun-
cil by the PBA for each individual
case of Article 2 widows now re-
ceiving less.

4. Widows with dependent child-

tren to receive % pay when patrol.

mien are killed in the line of duty—
The PBA has long advocated ad-
ditional compensation for such
widows.

5, Permissive. legislation en-
abling the Police Commissioner to
exact a fee for guarding payrolls

Budget Director Thomas J, Pat-
terson’s office has given assurance
that appointments from the forth-
coming eligible Mst for Clerk,
Grade 2, to be published next
month, will be made at the Grade
2 not Grade 1, level, even if the
Proposed reclassification of the
clerical service is adopted.

That reclassification was the
subject of a public hearing before
the Civil Service Commission, The
Commission has taken no action,
pending conferences with Mr. Pat_
terson. It is understood that some
pay changes may be madq» in
classification. Possibly. the pro-
vision against filling jobs from the
new list at the Grade 1 level that
the reclassification would reintro-
duce would be written in,

Change in Parks Plan

The changes in the proposed
reclassification in the Parks De-
partment, are reported to be com-
plete already, The Budget Dir-
ector’s office is reported mainly
interested in offering the employ-
ees an opportunity to be in the
graded service, with guaranteed
year-round work, and will oppose
any attempts by the employees
to get the dual benefits of pre-
vailing rates of wages under the
Labor Law and the guaranteed
employment inducement under the
grading. The employees, at

all |]

hazards, will have the right to
accept or reject individually their
inclusion in the graded service,
No Change in Policy-

Despite the olerical reclassifi-
eation, the Budget Director's
office assures The LEADER that
there has been and will be no
change in the policy of filling
Dositions from the open-com-
petitive eligible lists at the en-
trance pay, which will be Grade
2 during the life of the forth-
coming list, the legal maximum of
which is four years, The prov-
‘sionals who are also eligibles
therefore would be given the same
pay on permanent appointment as
those who do not now work for
the city, so that all appointed
from the list would be treated alike
on_pay.

Reports that there had been, or
would be, a chahge in policy,
whereby provisionals who bene-
fited by increments would be al-
lowed to continue in Clerk jobs
at their present pay, often much

MASS at 12.10 Daily

higher than entrance pay, were
called cockeyed,

A bill will be introduced on be-
half of the O'Dwyer administra.
tion to make in increment lew
“uniform,” which would cut ows
the five-increment series. But the
clerical reclassification would have
to be adopted by the Commission
before the Council] gets the bill,

Girls Shop Shrewdly for Typist Jobs
But Won't Aid Cupid on Saturdays

By ANNA LEE KRAM

Human nature had a field day
at the hiring pool for Typists,
held last week in the examination
room of the NYC Civil Service
called in, Personnel officers of 41
nified readiness to work for the
city in permanent jobs, and they
included many provisionals, were
called in. Personnel offices of 41
departments were on hand.

“Choose which department you
prefer to work for,” advised Presi-
dent Joseph A. McNamara, in an
address to the eligibles, nearly all
of whom were women. “We recog-
nise a woman's right to change
her mind, but make up your mind
or decline.”

A mass giggle filled the room,
but compliance resulted. There
was a little “shopping” however.

The $64 Question

“What department offers the
shortest hours, the highest pay
and the longest vacations?” asked
one woman, no chicken,

She found out that the pay was
the same in city departments, the
vacations were about likewise, but
she had to find out for herself
about how These do differ, es-
pecially as to Saturday work.

‘The City Clerk's office was the
least popular of all when word
got around that every Saturday
is made the busiest day by mar-
riage license applicants. The
cause of Cupid influenced the
women none; and they went for
the other departments. What the

NEW YORK CITY NEWS

City Clerk’s office will have to

do for more Typists nobody could
say, but City Clerk Murray W.
Stand is resourceful. Two were
signed up.

Courts Popular

The courts proved popular. It
was impossible to discover whether
the air of the judiciary was con-
sidered more salubrious or whether
a better break on days off, holi-
days and early closings were an
influence.

Some of the eligibles arrived
well armed with all information
needed for a decision, while others
tried hard to get the inside story
the hard way, from the personnel
representatives of competing de-
partments. Each department or
agency had its own desk.

Some of the eligibles were
shunted to the desks of depart-
ments that they had never heard
of. President McNamara did some
of the shunting. He sent a young
lady over to the Board of Higher
Education desk and that avoided
a shut-out.

Lists Exhausted

The pool was for filling positions
of Typist, Grade 2, and of 396
called, 281 were signed up, which
was considered good. Except for
some restorations of those who de-
clined conditionally, the Typist
eligible list is used up, just as the
Stenographer, Grade 2, list was
consumed in a previous pool, Final
acceptance was thus obtained of
about 70 per cent, which was bet-
ter than in the previous Typist
pool_on February 18, when out
of 375 called, 240 accepted, The
Stenographer figures for the pool
also held on February 18 were:
304 called, 203 accepted, also
nearly 70 per cent acceptances.

The number of acceptances of
city job offers is slowly increasing,
and the number of declinees who
want their names restored’to lists,
which they can have done quickly,
is gaining fast. The change is
ascribed to the downward shift
of economic conditions, which re-
duces the attraction of private
industry jobs.

The Big Show

The largest pool of all will be
conducted late in March, for the

Clerk, Grade 2 eligibles, The list
isn’t out yet.

President McNamara said:

“The pools have been very suc-
cessful and are now an established
policy of the Commission where
there are many departments that
have positions to fill in a given
title, The eligibles can come to
the Commission’s office, instead
of having to go around to the
various departments, and also
the departments save time, be-
cause in half a day they can inter-
view all the candidates who’d like

RSG MER RAG As

to work for them, instead of hav-
ing interviews interrupt the day's
work over a period of weeks.
“The provisionals who are eli-
gibles preferred in general to stay,
under permanent status, in the| 4.
jobs that they now hold insecurely.
‘There was @ great rush for the
court jobs. Departments that
didn’t have any work on Satur-
day were the next most popular,
but nearly all departments have
some, because their employees
come in for Saturday half days
‘once every six or eight weeks or so,”

The Firemen want the Mayor
