New Patrolman Exam
Back in Picture Again

NYC has been trying hard to fit) proof of date of birth by transcript}

the patrolman (P.D.) exam into an
early schedule for receipt of ap-
Plications, and while it has not yet
set the application dates, it has
decided to “order” the exam held.
That is the first step toward hold-
ting it.

When the City Civil Service Com-
mission meets this week it is ex-
pected to order the exam held.

‘The Police Department has been
anxious to have the test held soon,
and the Personnel Department has
been trying hard to oblige it.

The new starting pay of a patrol-
man grade 4, is $4,000 a year and
ehanges as follows: grade 3. after
the first year, stays at $4,000;
grade 2, after the second year,
$4,700; grade 1, after three years,
05.215,

Former Requirements

‘The minimum requirements in
the new test will be set probably
i few weeks after the “ordering”
ts done. These requirements are
expected to be about the same as
those in the last test, with age 20
& minimum,

The principal requirements In
the last test follow:

Ages: The Administrative Code
provides that only persons shall be
appointed patrolmen who shall be

the receipt of applications may
file an application. However, no
person may be appointed unless
be has reached his 2ist birthday.

Exception: All persons, who were
engaged in military duty, as de-
fined in Section 243 of the Mill-
tary Law, mibsequent to July 1,
1040, may deduct the length of
me they spent in military serv-
ice from their actual age tn deter.
mining their eligibility (Sub, 10a,

Looking Inside

By H. J. BERNARD
AAMAAAARAAAAAAAAABAARALABAAA.

Civil Service Has Been Playing
Second Fiddle Much Too Long

THE PRESSURE on civil service administrators is 90 great be
cause government expects to get more for its money than it pays, km
hiring many employees, that not every civil service commissioner ox
personnel director can stand the strain.

So far the Personnel Department in NYC, still in the throes ef
the Career and Salary Plan, bas stood the test fairly well, although
there have been occasional signs of frayed tempers, Joseph Schechter,
the Personnel Director, has a denflite limit to his patience, but haa
atretched that limit in good cause. Despite all the recent contre.
versy over pay, tities and Job descriptions, he has won the acclaim ef
employee groups for the democratic way in which the operation i»
being conducted, and for his fairness and sense of justice.

Macy Spreads the Good Word

The State Division of Classification and Compensation, which
deals with the same problems that confront Mr. Schechter, is more
philosophical. It would be difficult indeed to put up any argument that
would disturb J. Early Kelly much. Mr. Kelly is the director of that
division.

In the Federal government the situation ts still calmer, in'feet,
too calm, for there is still a reluctance to go along with employee
ideas, as against administration ideas, although the situation has
improved. John W. Macy Jr., the executive director of the U.S, Civil
Service Commission, is largely responsible for the new look. Not enly
does he lend an attentive ear to employee requests but he even at-
tends thelr conventions and gives them learned yet sympathetic dis
cussions of the ruling problems of the day, and even broaches possible
solutions, If there ie » little too much of technical jargon in some
of his speeches, he can not be blamed. Though brilliant, he is stilt
young, and subect to the influence of wiser heads who make a prace
tice of using more words than necessary, and the jonger and mese
technical ones, the better.

But through all the vexation of the civil service administrators,
the worst difficulty is to be able to procure the calibre of employes
that the government wants at the price the government ts willing te
pay, All that the commissions and personne! directors can do is te
produce eligible lists from which the departments and agencies may
hire the best talent that can be obtained at the salary offered, Every
civil service commissioner and personnel director in government se
eretly wishes that mass recruitment was not subject to such defeating
monetary limitations,

The Sorry Side

Behind all this is the sorry fact that national, State and local
government administrations do not show as much interest in eivil
service adminstration as they should, There are sgns of improvement
Governor Averell Harriman of New York is on record as having anid
that as many jobs shouk! be put into the competitive class as possible,
Mayor Robert F, Wauner of NYC actually assumed personal respon-
sibility for civil service administration, the first chief executive of
any branch of government, so ar as I know, to have done so. He evem
said he wants the Career and Salary Plan to be a model for all the
other local, as well as State governments, and even the Federal gov-
ernment, The only hitch is that with the $29,000,000 appropriation,
full accomplishment was impossible. Thus the newly created Personnel
Department was handicapped from the start,

A real NYC reclassification, all inequities eliminated, a salary sched-
ule a model would cost about $100,000,000.

Relative lmportance

A government administration should ask its classification arm
to report how much it would cost to put all salaries o na realistie
basis. After this estimate is checked, and the budgeting process begina,
provision should be mace for including the required amount. The
policy of cutting the recruitment cloth to the pattern of a shest
budget had too often been tried, and too often found wanting.

Difficulty im “finding” the money may be reo!, but greater by far ts
the difficulty of convincing top executives that hardly any operation
that government performs is more important than proper recruitment,
Tt ts time the right arm of civil service played first fiddle, instead of

Labor Day and the American Worker

De eee ees |

Labor Day, celebrated by all in the United States as the day of
recognition of the American worker, had its beginnings in the late
nineteenth century, For many years during the '80s the forerunner of
all labor parties in this country, the Knights of Labor, paraded on the
Mirst Monday in September. At the impetus of this group, in 1884 all
workers in the country joined in a drive to have this day considered a
national holiday, The first state to give recognition to Labor Day was |
Oreyon in 1887, and within a few years New York, New Jersey and|

Colorado adopted similar legislation,

Congress Recognizes Labor

The Congress in 1894 passed a bill making Labor Day a legal |

holiday throughout the nation,

At the time, in 1884, when the Knights of Labor were agitating
for this recognition, the labor movement in this country only had
about 200,000 followers. Today there are approximately 16,000,000

members in the various labor groups in the country. These include
organized federal, state, county and local government employees.

Our Part in the Labor Movement
We are a part of this labor movement, Although the organized
Government workers constitute only a small segment of the 16,000,-
000, they have made material gains in recent years, Labor figures,
reflecting the site of governmental employve groups, are hard to esti-
mate. Only a few of the organizations publish their membership
figures, and nowhere is there a complete or adequate listing of all the

governmental employee associations, We can only guess at the growth

from knowledge of our own Association and one or two other groups,

From this knowledge it is safe to assume that along with the in-

@reasing size of government, employee organizations are also growing.

Government Is an Industry, Too

‘The labor movement in the government industry, as it has been
ealled, needs the understanding and support of every government
worker, The government industry has become so big and so complex
on all of its levels that @ labor group in it has become vitally neces-
sary, The problems of the worker in government are esientially the
same as those of the worker in industry, Both are human beings, The
same forces which piay upon one play upon the other. It is true that
the structures within which they work may be different, but this fact
does not negate the need of employee organizations,

Recognition Comes Through Effort

It ls only through collective effort that the government employee
an achieve the recognition of the dignity of his positiotn,, keep his

pay scales adequate and in tune with the changing times, and be the
recipient of the other benefits accruing to the industrial worker, Un-
Jess he recognizes this, and becomes a part of the movement, his
Progress towards equality with industry will be aa slow in the future
os it has becn in the past,

40-Hour Week as Vital
As Security in One's Job

he slowness of government to subscribe to the same

standards it imposes by law on private industry has
been one of the most disheartening aspects of public
employment, but fortunately is disappearing.

The Federal government has a 40-hour week; the
New York State has a 40-hour week for
many of its employees, but not those who
work in institutions; Mayor Robert F.
Wagner has asked Budget Director Abra-
ham D, Beame to estimate the cost of a
general 40-hour week in NYC, where such
a week exists also for some employees,
but not for others.

John F. Powers, president of the Civil
Service Employees Association, has writ-
ten two letters to Governor Averell Har-
man, both urging the State to join in the general move-
ment to conform government personne! standards to those
existing in private industry.

Mr. Powers asks for a study of how to make the
40-hour week general in State employ. The Governor
himself is on previous record favoring such a project.
The question of cost arises. The Association offers to
the Governor fullest co-operation in connection with this
aspect and other facets of the improvement.

The other letter deals with making more State jobs
more secure.

In public employ a different basis exists than in pri-
vate industry, because appointments and promotions are
made under the Merit System. Nevertheless, greater job
security to the employee, as Mr. Powers points out, exists
for those workers whose titles are in the competitive
class, and who moreover are in that class themselves. Mr.
Powers wants an earnest jurisdictional reclassification un-
dertaken, to achieve a realistic improvement on the none
too reassuring present situation whereby competent State
workers in non-competitive jobs often lose those jobs for
political reasons. The Association president asks the Gov-
ernor for assurances that such removal will not be per-
petuated during his own term,

The jurisdictional reclassification relates to putting
jobs in that group of the basic classification in which they
properly belong—competitive, non-competitive or exempt.
The ruling purpose is to put all present noncompetitive
Jobs in the competitive class that properly ean be as-
signed to the more secure category,

Both topics that Mr, Powers discusses go to the very
root of progressive personnel administration. The Gover-
mor would be rendering a service not only to the em-
Ployees but to the public if he undertook promptly the
projects that Mr. Powers calls to his attention.

Question,
Please

WHAT IS NEW about the move
to protect U, S. employees from
having thelr salary cut in cases
of downgrading of their titles?
W. D.C,

Answer — Nothing. But some-
thing should come of it. The
U, 8 Civil Service Commission
agrees on some form of protection,
The bill for # statutory prohibi-
tion against pay cuts in downgrad-
ing cases was not brought to the
floor of Congress for a vote.

18 IT not true that a Loyalty
Review Board, as now constituted,
by a U.S, Supreme Court decision,
does not have the authority to
reverse a departmental loyalty
board exoneration of a Federal
employee, but only to reverse a
finding of guilt? PL.

Answer — The assumption Is
correct, However, the loyalty pro-
gram was changed, after the facts
arose in the test ease to which
you refer, There is no more
Loyalty Review Board. A commis-
sion, by authority of Congress, is
to study the operation of the se-
curity program, and propose
remedies, Two important factors
are protection of employees against
being subjected to hearsay and
other irresponsible charges, and
the right of employees to be con-
fronted by their accusers, Con-
frontation is granted in most in-
stances, but when the Government
is using informers, tt hides their
identity. The FBI holds that if it
must reveal the Identity of its
informers {t will lose its informers,

TO WHAT EXTENT has a
Police department authority to re-
fuse to appoint an eligible to the |
uniformed force on the alleged |
grounds of nervousness? I am al
veteran, and saw plenty of action)
in World War 1 and in the Korean
conflict. All of us who saw action
may be expected to be a litle ner-
vous, Is it fatr to rule us out?

LP.

Answer — Thousands who took |
part in the actual fighting, many
of whom distinguished themselves, |
have been appointed to the police
forces, The police department did
not find them suffering from any
form of nervousness, Some cligibles
are denied appointment because
they have a nervous condition, or
a history of nervousness, Either
fact, in the standards of mont
police departments, eliminates a
candidate, One reason why police
departments are so careful about
cases of nervousness, past or
present, is that a policeman carries
a pistol. Another ts that he some-
times has to cope with situations
that demand coolness in the midst
of others’ excitement, and must

exercise calm judgment,

TIME ove

4s Vacationing State tax examiner
7 has warmed the cockles of our
heart by reporting on an incident
which showed that the joys of our
youth are still supreme.

The examiner happened to wit-
hess a dance contest during his
stay at a resort. The jitter bugs,

of the hep cats fell by the way-

Now all we need is a champion
for "The Big Apple” and the 1930s

One Federal employee, in filling
out a job description form recerit-
ly, according to “Personnel Ad-
ministration,” publication of the
Society for Personnel Administra-
tion, described his job as follows:

“Maintains high morals in the
division by dispelling false ru-
mors,”

Well, a little lifting of morals
in Government service can't hurt
anybody.

Another job description by an
employee included this explana-
ton:

LOW PAY IS REASON FOR
PENSION LONAS, AIDE SAYS
Editor, Tho LEADER:

A recent LEADER article indi-
cated that the reason State em-
ployees are borrowing money on
their pension funds Is to purchase
new cars, television sets, washing
machines, or that they are In debt
for nothing.

As one who has borrowed from
the plan, I wish to assure you
there is a more basic reason why
loans are taken on pension funds.
The reason is quite simple, to wit,
the salurles State employees are
receiving are Insufficient to main-
tain a very simple standard of liv-
ing, It is a sad commentary that
civil service employees have to
make over 3,000 loans on their
pension funds in order to keep
their heads above water. Perhaps
if the salar were increased to a
proper level commensurate with
that paid to employees in private
industry, such loans would not
have to be made.

STATE EMPLOYEE

Editor, the LEADER:

You have done a good job in pub-
lishing the facts about the low

might issue.

One of the princial difficulties has been that admin-

istrators have run wild and loose, in some instances, |

hounding employees with accusations not related to ll
alty or even national security at all. There have been

accusations that, besides being irrelevant, were also false. | Public Works
The falsity was proved either by the employees being
cleared or the regretted charges withdrawn.

Both the loyalty program, which relates to patriot-
ism, and the security program, which deals with propri-
ety of conduct and reliability as an employee, are in des-
perate need of improvement,

One easy improvement would be to extend the pre-

sumption of innocence to accused Federal employees, the

which any new law on the subject is to be administered.
Wf such a policy is not actually written inte statute, Presi-

same protection that, for others, is the basic law of the

government employees, the difficul-
ties met in recruiting employees
because salaries are so Jow, and the

Tt ts plain that public employees
find it dificult to live within their
income, even if (hey are most eco~
nomical. Their income is too small
to permit them to live steadily on
a basis of a good standard of
living, without recourse to outside
jobs and borrowing, That is the
main reason why the loans made
by the New York State Employees

General Administrators

Are Held Natio
As Specialists

General administrative ability,
wather than competence as a spe-
@talist, is now being considered a
meod of the times, as the United
Mates advances, both in govern-
ment and private industry, to high-
@ standards of performance and
production,

Until recently there was a great
@y in favor of the specialist. He
‘Was supposed to know all the an-
wwers. Maybe he did. Maybe de did
mot. But making the technologist
fe head administrative man ts
Feported to be turning out rather
badly.

Government units that have
been calling for specialists in nar-
fow ficids may now start raising
thetr voices for generalists in the
@dministrative specialty, if one may |
put It that way.

The subject ts discussed by J.
Donald Kingsley in the Intest ts-
sme of Good Government, pub-
Bshed by the National Civil Serv-
fee League.

Desperate Need for a Corps

“We desperately need to develop
® corps of general administrator
with vision, breadth, and imagina-
ton,” he writes. “At present, both
@er usual training programs and
eur usual routes of entry to pub-
Me service are heavily weighted
against such a development.”

He has had wide administrative
@perience, for instance, in food
and rug inspection and control, vo-
gations! rehabilitation, war mobilt-
mation, construction projects.

He admits he made one big mis-

i

"The only time” he recalls,
“that I ever ran into serious ad-
ministrative trouble was early in
my career in a subject-matter area
fm which I considered myself an au-

nal Need
Bog Down

thority. There I learned the hard
way that a good administrator
does not second-guess his experts
in technical matters, But if this
is so, he does not need to be an
@ 7

He therefore reasons that ad-
ministrative ability if transferrable
from one special field to another,
and that there ts no necessity for
the administrator to be an au-
thority in the special field in which
the work is being done,

General Administrators Needed

“Short as we are,” he continues,
“of specialists, we are more short
of general administrators; of the
people who can fuse ideas and
mold the specialists into a team to
accomplish a public objective; who
devise the menns to carry out
broad public policy — and in the
process, shape jt, What we moxt
desperately need at every level is
the public administrator classically
described by Henry Taylor in his
book “The Statesman”: “The mag-
net that draws all the separate
pieces together so that they move
forward in one field of force; who
knows a specialist when he sees
one, but doesn't try to know what
the specialist knows,"

“This need is a challenge to those
who are in public careers or are]
embarking upon them. It is also a
hallenge to the schools, which
have found it easier to train tech-
nictans than to fashion adminis-
trators. This is, of course,
surprising, Technique ts
more readily taught than art,

Social Work Problems

“Finding personnel to administer
our welfare program is, I think,
@ special problem, because of the
high degree of professionalization
in the field of social work, the na-
ture of social work training, and
particularly the philosophy upon
which American social work is
grounded.

“The average social worker has
as little idea of the nature of ad-
ministration as the average doc-
tor, Both groups live and breathe

Javits Explains How Law
Can Bar Some from Jobs

| Attorney General Jacob K. Ja-
| wite holds, in an informal opinion,|
Bhat under some circumstances a)
@ischarge from the armed forces,
Mf dishonorable, or granted under
ether than honorable circum-
stances, may disqualify a person
from a job with the State or one
@f its communities,

‘The Weekly Bulletin of the)
Mtate’s Division of Veterans’ Af-
fairs reports on the subject, citing
major veterans’ rights under the
State Military Law also may be
affected, under the terms of the
pinion.

n Right to Vote

wight to vote. If the veteran were
@ischarjged from the armed forces
Because of conyietion of a felony
Under State law, or in a Federal
@ourt that has exclusive jurisdic~
tion over the offense, “such con-
Yiction deprives him of the right
fe regiiter or vote in this State
unless he was pardoned or re-)
Btored to the rights of citizenship
by the appropriate authority.”

In addition, Mr. Javits holds, |
® person dishonorably discharged
Because of conviction which de-
prives him of citivenship under)
the Nationality Code is not en-)
Gtled to vote, since citizenship ls
® prerequisite,

‘The citizenship voting and clt-
Benship considerations are impor-
tent in civil service matters be-
@ause the disqualification from
wating also extends to Job-holding,

When Barred from Office

Bays Mr, Javits:

“Citizenship ta a qualification for
Wee holding of civil office under
ection 3 of the Public Officers!
Hew, Consequently, conviction of|

aa offense which carries with it
joss of citizenship under Federal
jaw disables an individual from
holding civil office in this State,
although a duihonorable discharge
in itself does not otherwise have
such consequence.”

Thus, not the nature of the dis.
charge itself, but Lhe reason for
the discharge is controlling,

He quotes Section 14 of the State
Civil Service Law, which applies
t communities of the State also; |

“The civil service department
and municipal commissions may
refuse to examine an applicant,
or after examination to certify an
eligible, . . . who has been guilty
of a crime or of infamous or no-
boriously disgraceful conduct.”

Commission's Powers

Mr. Javits comments:

“Thus, it would be within the
Province of the Civil Service De-
Partinent or Commission to refuse
to examine or, after examination,
to certify, any person who had re-
ceived such a discharge, if the
grounds for the discharge con-
stituted infamous of notoriously
disgraceful conduct.

“Purthermore, the additional|
eredita provided for veterans in
connection with competitive civil
service examinations are not ap-
plicable unless the veteran was
“honorably discharged or relonsed
under honorable circumstances,’ *

‘The Other Benefits

Such additional credits would
include veteran's 10 points added |
te the earned score of a disabled
veteran, of 3 to @ non-disabled
veteran, in open-competitive tests,
half as many points in promotion
tests. Also, cetroactive seniority
would be adversely affected,

What Preparation Was Made

Here's & brief look at how they
got ready for the current Pair,

‘The maintenance crew and the
administrative staff all State
aides are on the fairgrounds
12 months a year preparing for
the big opening day. Many years
of experience with the Pair and

| with the State equip these people

with the knowledge necessary for
successful operation of the 278
acres.

Among those who help make the
Agricultural and Industrial
Position the annual success It {s,
are:

George W. Schilly, the business
manager, who has been with the
Falr for 38 years.

Kenneth J. Lindeman, head ac-
count clerk. Formarly with the De-
partment of Audit and Control,
he ts now a full-time Fair em-~-
ployee.

‘Thirty-one years of experience
make Mary C. Dunn, senior ac-
count clerk, an expert on space
commitments, She can justify
every inch of exhibit and other
space requirements more know-
ingly than any other person on
the grounds.

Mere 20 Years’ Service

A comparative youngster of the
permanent staff, with a mere 20
years’ experience, is Elizabeth A.
Bryan, senior stenographer.

Name Any Task

Among the newest civil service
employees to hold a position at
the Pair is Carlyle M. Cleland,
senior maintenance supervisor, for-
meriy employed at Dannemora
Prison, He, like the workers, is a
member of the staff of the De-
partment of Agriculture and Mar-
kets, From 8 AM. the time he
arrives in the morning, until he
leaves late in the evening, he ls
possibly the busiest man on the
fairgrounds, The last hectic days
before the Fair opens demand
every minute of his time for
getting the grounds in shape.

Preparing for the biggest Fair
in the country is a good-sized
headache, according to Mr, Cle-
land, “This year we put up & new
front entrance, two lagoons in
front of the grandstand, and con-
structed new walls for the auto
races, Name any task and we've
probably done it.”

‘The results of these labors may
be seen until September 10, After
that, the employees start all over
again, getting ready for Septem~
ber, 1954.

How Cost Is Met When Benefits

Of Unemployment Insurance Rise

| WHILE the advantage of higher weekly benefits under unem-
ployment insurance ie well recognized, becalise present rates are ine
sufficient to maintain a family properly during the trying period, and
the Federal government appears willing to defray some additional
expense, the burden of meeting the cost of any increase would fall
mostly on the States.

As un example, New York State recently raised its benefit rate te
$36 a week. from $30. This increase costs the Federal government
nothing, It ts financed from a trust fund created (rom taxes paid by
employers in the State, Unless Federal legislation is enacted to pro-
vide to the contrary any such future Lmprovement in benefits would
increase the actual tax in the State that raised benefits, by re-
ducing the tax credit allowed to the employer,

Effect of Present Law

Under the present law on segregating the Federal excise tax om
employers of eight or more persons, the Federal government would
not pay any increase In administration costs. Instead, the special loam
fund, or refunds to States, would decrease

It is true, however, that the Federal government defrays adminis.
trative costs, and that Federal employees and veterans are paid un-
employment injurance at the Pederal government's expense. That le
simular to the case of any other employer who pays on behalf of his
employees, except that the veterans may be regarded as ‘former em-
ployees.” In this connection the words “servicemen” and “employee”
could be treated synonymously,

‘The professor asks the appoint~

contract employment, He does not
think litigation is the best way out,
though advised by eminent coun-
sel that the case could be won,
Litigation takes too long and costa
too much. An administrative rem=

would be advisable, He would like
the Attorney General to restudy
the legal aspects, too, and possi<
bly clarify and amend the
formal opinion that caused all the
furor, That opinion was the first
one that ever declared contract

| MENTAL HYGIENE MEMO

MHEA Is Not Resting on Laurels

THE MENTAL HYGIENE Employees Association, which this year
@elebrates its fiftieth anniversary, is justifiably proud of its accom-
Plishments at the institutional and departmental levels. Ita calm,
@lear presentation of the facts, in conferences with hospital adminis-
trators and Albany “brass,” has earned MHEA a strong berth as
spokesman for the mental hospital employee. Nor is the group resting
en its laurels. Its current membership drive is keyed toward a united
front in the campaign to win a teue 40-hour work week for institu-
onal aides, with no loss in present take-home pay.

‘Everyone Has Problems’

“Everyone Has Problems” is the theme of the Mental Hyzieno
Department's exhibit at the State Pair,

Some common emotional problems are being portrayed by Mother,
Dad, Junior and Big Sister, members of a new cartoon family spe-|
tially created for the department by Joe Musial of “Blondie” fame.
Visitors have an opportunity to peep through a five foot picture
window and observe the family's difticulties

“Phe gist of the message.” said Commissioner Paul H. Hoch
that when emotional problems get too biz for you
to & poychiatrist or a mental hygiene clini

Another feature of the exbibit is a life-size tableau of a clinic
seen, in which “talking mannikins expiain what is going on

Cost of Mental Ulness Runs High
The care of the mentally ili js the largest expense in the State's
Proposed budget, now more than $150,000,000. Governor Harriman
revealed at a meeting of newspaper editors last week. The expendi-
turs grow steadily, he noted, because the population of mental hy-
giene institutions has been increasing at the rate of 3,000 persons
® year.

tive vactitim. But in the case of
social work, this deficiency is a
matter of philosophy
ciple.

“Those administrative relations
summed up in concepts of line and
staff, authority and responsibility,
hierarchy and span of control —
which we have drawn largely from
military experience — are utterly
foreign to, and incompatible with,
the extreme concepts of primitive
democracy which are often taken
as given in the philosophy of so-
elal work.

Too Much Talk

“This haa far-reaching results
and implications, both for social
work and for administration,
There ts, for example, an incipient
tendency for out social services —
public and private — to bog down
in a welter of committees, consu!-
tative groups, lengthy discussions;
and the {deal of Inditect leader-
ship in its extreme form ts easily

| transformed in practice into rule

an obstructive minority.

‘0 be sure, many straight-line

encles would clearly benefit from

® larger Infusion of democratic

procedures and practices; but a few
igh * and some recorni-

ors of decision are also

frequently dificult to
find and are jeast likely to be pro-
vided by persons whose onty train-
ing and experience iM in social
work,

“Thave welcomed New York Uni-
versity’s action here in bringing
together In a single school, public]
administration and social work.
The fision of such disparate sys-
tems of ideas can only serve to
benefit both. Those who have thus
been doubly exposed oan, I think,
make & special contribution and
find special opportunities in wel-
fare administration.”

Under the executive order issued
recently by Governor Harriman, es-
tablishing a new grievance ntachin-
ery for State employees, it is the
responsibility of the head of each
State department and agency to
establish formal grievance proce-
dures for use in his agency. The
Procedures thus established are
subject to approval by the Griev-
ance Board.

Financing of City Halls Discussed

A CTTY can pay for its new city hall in a variety of ways, says the
Municipal Finance Officers Association,

Construction of the $1,200,000 Pontiac, Mich, building began in
May, 1953, but the history of its financing dates back to 1926, In that
year, a bond issue of $120,000 was approved to build a hall and ac-
quire the site for It, In 1928, another $300,000 in bonds were ap-
proved, and another $330,000 in 1929 for a total of about $750,000, A
site was bought in 1930 for about $540,000, and the rest of the unis-
sued bonds were reserved for construction, When the depression came,
the unsojd $210,000 bonds were cancelled, and nothing further hap-
pened until 1950 when the city commission appropriated $150,000 to
establish a City Hall Building Fund, Additional sums were earmarked
for the next few years, and finally $1,100,000 was accumulated before
awarding the contract for construction,

In Petaluma, Calif,, a Joint county- city building was built, occu-
pied 22 per cent by the county and 78 per cent by the city. It was fi-
nanced us follows: $200,000, bonds; $18,708, intereat on invested bond
funds; $3,683, state allocations; $72,573, county participation; $25,000,
sale of old city hall site; and $79,028, transfers from reserve funda,

Milwaukee's projected municipal biulding will cost an estimated
$5,300,000. The financial plan provides for the sale of $3 million short-
term notes to banks and financial institutions and $2,300,000 of in-
ternal financing, The internal financing involves this bit of history:
In 1948, voters approved Issuing $5,000,000 to finance the start of a
system of expressways. In 1950, the city sold promissory notes and in
1951 and 1952 sold general obligation bonds for the expressways, But
then the responsibility for construction and financing the express-
ways was transferred from the city to the county of Milwaukee, and
about $2,389,893 of the $5 million approved for expressways remains
as a balance with the city, Although it must be used for retiring out-
standing expressway bonds as they mature, the city plans to borrow
en that sum up to $2,300,000 for the municipal building.

Try New Traffic Safety Measure

LOUISIANA Department of Highways, seeking to reduce traffic
accidents, is now engaged In an experiment in which the outer edges
of highways are marked to show where the pavement ends and the
shoulder begina,

Officials hope the outer edge markings will pull traffic away from
the center line and further over to the side of the highway, A mumber
of head-on and other serious collisions occur when vehicles crowd the
center lines,

LONG BEACH, Calif., hus reduced maintenance costs by estab-
lishing 4 mobile unit for Iubrication and maintenance of heavy con-
struction equipment and stationary equipment located at different
Points throughout the city, It's like bringing the garage to the car, The
unit is operated by one mechanic during the winter and by a mechanic
and a helper in the summer.

JOHNSON IN CHARGE

OF FLOOD RELIEF FUNDS
ALBANY, Sept, & — Governor
Harriman appointed John W.
Johnson, Superintendent of Pub-
Ue Works, to administer any Fed-
eral funds for the repair of pub-
ely owned facilities in the
State's flood stricken areas.

A. D, O'Connor, Regional Ad-
ministrator, Federal Civil Defense
Administration, has been request-
ed to designate an official to work
with Mr, Johnson,

POLICE GIVE $2,500

NYC Police Commissioner Ste-
phen P, Kennedy presented a check
for $2,500 to the Flood Retief Pro-
gram of the American Red Cross.

The donation was from the
Charity Fund of the department,
‘The fund is supported by contri-
butions from members of the de-
| partment.

This column is for employees of the State Correction Department, tt te
written by Jack Solod, himself an employee of the department with intimate
knowledge of worker problema in his agency. Mr, Solod has been given «
“[ree hand” in writing his material, and his views are his own, Members of
the department who would like Mr. Sotod to discuss matters of espectal im

portance tw them are urged to write him in care of the Civil Service
LEADER, 97 Doane Street, New York City 7.

Prison Guards Can Help Juvenile Delinquency

LETTERS from various department sources saying, “Jack, pay
and pension are important, but occasionally show that the guard ts
fully aware of delinquency problems and is an intelligent individual,
not just ‘a guy with « club,’ as most people believe,”

Across the country, social agencies, youth commissions, Congres-

of juvenile delinquency. In all these investigations and studies, the
one grou pthat has more personal contact with these problem children
has never been called. I am referring to prison guards, who in their
daily work come to know and understand the distorted point of view
[exhibited by delinquents.

| You Frudian scholars explain this attitude which the ‘prison
| guard hears frequently; “If you break Into the house and get the
| money and the man wakes up and sees you, you gotta kill him, man;
if you don't, he can identify you and, man, then you are in trouble.”

The easiest way {s to suy that the parents are at fault and let
it wo wt that, This attitude on the part of many so-called “experts”
solves nothing and the problem remains as acute and frightening as
ever,

Dr. Sheldon Glueck, noted psychiatrist, has proven that the be.
havior patterns of children can be detected before the age of eight,
Tt would seem that the utilization of these tests in the schools all
over America would help tremendously in the fight on juvenile deline
quency, Central clinics set up in various school districts could con-
duct these tests all over the country, Children showing unusual be-
havior patterns could, with the advice of psychiatrists and trained
social workers, have a program set up suitable to the individual, which
could help direct the child mind to a more acceptable social attitude,

‘These clinics could be set up along similar lines as the inoculation
program for polio administered to children in the schools. While it
is true that money would play an important part in such a program,
the problem of financing ls not Insurmountable, Hundreds of millions
are spent each year for prisons, rehabilitation, crime prevention, and
the money for such a worthwhile project would be forthcoming. Of
what use is knowledge and the advances being made by such noted
men as Dr. Glueck if the people as a whole are denied access to such
treatment and information?

Seventeen prison disturbances throughout the country in 1955,
One of the important reasons is inadequate probation systems im
many States, Some counties have excellent probation servics, while
in the same State other counties have no probation system at all. To
cite an example; A youth steals a car in a county with probation
services, In most instances, for the first offense the court will place
this boy on probation for a year or two, This same offense committed
in a county with no probation system will find the offender sentenced
to a term up to five years,

‘This {s definitely unfair, to say the least, and creates a feeling
of bitterness in the minds of offenders which is not conducive to a
well-disciplined institution,

Now York State, with excellent probation services, still has eleven
counties with no service at all, In other States, the ratio of no proba-
| lion is much higher, A more uniform integrated probation system all

over the country would tend to lessen the tensions in State prisons,

Nominations Close Sept. 15
For Supervisor Training:
Day Courses Will Be Given

ALBANY, Sept. 5 — Now ia the
time for State employees to let
thelr supervisors know they would
Ike to participate in day super-
visory training cjasses, Last date
for nominatl is Thursday,
September 15,

Participation In the State. Civil
Service Department's training pro-
fram is limited to those who have
been nominated through the per-
sonnel office of the department in
which they are employed.

“Only three ngménations may be
made from each department for
each class,” a Civil Service spokes-
man said. “If you want to take
part in the day sessions, you've
got to act immediately.”

‘Three Couryes in Five Cities

‘The sesiions will be conducted)
in NYC, Buffalo, Albany, Rochester
and Syracuse. Courses include
Pundamentals and Supervision,
Case Studies in Supervision, and
Administrative Supervision.

All three study programs will get
under way In NYC the week of
October 3. That same week will

see the start of the Fundamentals |

course in Buffalo and the Case
Studies course in Rochester and
Syracuse.

All three supervision courses will
be given in Albany beginning the
week of October 10.

Classes will moet for a three-
hour session once a week for ten
weeks

The Basic Courses
Pundamentals of Supervision is
& basic course for supervisors be-
tween grades 7 and 15 and is de.
sianed to point out the funda-
mental principles underlying good

employee relationships and ef-
clent work management, Included

delegating work, planning, em-
ployee training, discipline, em-
ployee relations, control and co-
ordination, and job improvement
factors,

“The course,” the Civil Service
Department said, “provides an op-
portunity for group discussion of.
general problems and the exchange
of ideas based on the experience
of class members and Instructors,”

Follow-Up

The follow-up course ts Case
Studies in Supervision. It is open
only to thowe who have successfully
completed Fundamentals or Ad-
Ministrative Supervision, Case
problems are presented to the class
|for analysis and study, and the
{group attempts some solution to
| the problem, The objective is to
assist the supervisor in organising
fd thinking before attempting to

solve a supervisory problem and
in exercising proper judgment in
the evaluation of the facta in the
ease. The interdepartmental rep-
| resentation is designed to assure
a variety of canes and experiences.

‘The Administrative Supervision
course is for State aides above
grade 16, Taples such as budgeting
and leadership are stressed, and
planning is treated more exten-
sively than it is in the Punda-
mentals course.

“The purpose of the administra~
lve course, however, is essentially
the same,” the department said,
"as that of the Pundamentals
course—to promote good employee
relationships and effective work
management.”
