be the gubernatorial candi-
date for the Democrats,

Although not an avowed
candidate (nor can he be be-
cause of the Hatch Act), Mor-
genthau has not been out of
the picture during these re-
cent pre-primary months. He
was the choice to head the
ticket of several county
leaders and delegates to the
last Democratic State Con-
vention who were polled by
The Leaders a few weeks ago.
It was reported that he was
among the names being con-
sidered by William McKeon,
chairman of the State Dem-
ocratic Committee, and he)
had been talked about pri-
vately for some time among
Democratic leaders.

Last week, Morgenthau’'s
name emerged more empha-}|
tically after a meeting of
Democratic leaders, local and
national in Washington, D.C.
who were attending a testi-
monial dinner for retiring U.S.
Representative Victor L, An-
fuso of Brooklyn. Mayor Wag-
ner conferred both with Presi-
dent Kennedy and John M,
Bailey, the Democratic na-
tional chairman, McKeon also!
talked with national leaders
and it is certain that much
of the conversation had
to do with coming up with
a candidate who could contain
or defeat Governor Rockefel- |
ler this fall.

Reasons For Shift
Why Morgenthau? As re-
ported in these columns)
earlier, the “pros” do not be- |

Meve that any candidate who |
merely parallels the quali-)
ties of Rockefeller will make |
any dent in Rockefeller’s
vote-getting ability. Many be-
lieve that a minority repre-|
sentative, ethnic or religious,, |
or, as also was reported here, |
an out and out labor leader, |
would provide a more black |
and white choice to the voters
instead of the “one's as good}
as another” picture that a
similar candidate would offer, |
Some observers feel that)
Rockefeller would never have |
won in 1958 had it not been
for the bossism issue. Others|

DON'T REPEAT THIS

is a man of shy and retiring
appearance but of strong
character. He not only
fits the bill as a minority
representative (and it Is re-
ported that most Democratic
leaders are now convinced
that a Jewish candidate of-
fers the best opposition to
Rockefeller) but as the son
of the former Secretary of
the Treasury Henry Morgen-
thau, Jr, carries a name of
prominence that stirs up
memories of Franklin D,
Roosevelt, still a magic name
in New York State.

Representative Charles A.
Buckley of the Bronx, where
Morgenthau lives, endorsed
Morgenthau for the U.S, At-
torney post. When some Dem-
ocrats wanted to oust Buck-
ley they proposed Morgenthau
as a candidate but he refused,
although a poll showed he
ranked high (second) on the
list of wanted candidates, At
the same time, Morgenthau
has no problems with Mayor
Wagner, As a matter of fact,
in a conference last Thurs-
day with State “bigwigs”,
Wagner expressed consider-
able enthusiasm for Morgen-
thau,

GOP Controller Post

The possibility that Joseph
Murphy, State Tax Commis-
stoner, may be selected to op-
pose Arthur Levitt in the State
Comptroller race this year
is being revived again. Mur-
phy has always been among
the possible cholces but the
fact that a fellow Syracuse
resident, David H. Jaquith,
will head the newly-form-
ed Conservative Party ticket, is
sald to have improved Mur-
phy's chances for a place on
the GOP ticket,

No one believes that the
Conservative Party, composed
of Republicans who are un-
happy with the Rockefeller
regime, will do anything but
take away GOP votes from
that party. Murphy is very
popular in Onondaga County,
however, and the feeling ts
that his appearance on the
Republican ticket could prac-
tically eliminate Jacquith’s
possible vote-getting in that
area. Some also are pointing
out that the selection of Mur-
phy, an upstater and a
Catholic, would balance the
ticket nicely on religious and
regional grounds.

EDITORIAL

Proposed Changes In
Condon-Wadlin Law

P UBLIC employee organizations will do well to give long
and hard study to the report issued last week by the
Joint Legislative Committee On Industrial and Labor Con-
ditions which contains basic recommendations for changes
in the Condon-Wadlin Law,

This piece of legislation has been a thorn in the side
of public employees since its passage in 1947. The penal-
tles are unbelievably harsh; an accused employee has less
recourse to trial and appeal than a person accused of
treason or murder; the very sweeping definition of a
strike, as contained in the law, fs so broad that a walk to
the water fountain could be the basis for invoking the
Condon-Wadlin Law. The result is that it is an ineffective
law because no one will invoke the extreme measures its
application requires,

The Joint Committee, headed by Assemblyman Anthony
P. Saverese, Jr., proposed changes in the law that would
eliminate the definition of a strike; give greater flexi-
bility in penalties that may be invoked; require the At-
torney General to seek an injunction immediately when the
law had been violated; provide grievance processing and
collective dealing as a means of eliminating some of the
causes of strikes, and provided some sort off binding
arbitration.

Whether or not this committee has provided the answer
that public employees want remains to be seen. Employee
organizations certainly must make their feelings known and
the committe report provides a basis for serious action.

At any rate, it is encouraging that the committee rec-
ommends action on the Condon-Wadlin Law in the next
session of the Legislature. The issue should be settled once
and for all.

A QUESTION has come up whether the upgrading will
effect length of time In arriving at seniority Increments.
Section 130 of Civil Service Law reads as follows: “An em-
ployee who has reached a salary equal to or in excess of |
the maximum salary of the grade of his position and whose
position, on or after April 1, 1949, is reallocated to a higher
salary grade, shall be deemed to have had continuous serv-
ice at the maximum salary of the grade of his position,
not withstanding the fact, as a result of such reallocation,
he ts not receiving the maximum salary of the higher salary
grade to which his position ts reallocated.” In layman's
language, upward reallocation of salary grade from 11
to 12 1s different than being promoted to another grade.
You retain in grade 12, upon reallocation, the same rights
you had in grade 11 in reference to seniority increments.

Civil Service

LAW & YOU

By HAROLD L. HERZSTEIN;

Recent Bad Ones

IN MY WRITING on civil service law, my approach
has usually been strongly affirmative. I take a definite
principle and a definite case or cases to describe it. How-
ever, it must be remembered that there are many other
cases which tell the civil service where it has failed or
where something which it wants done cannot be done. I
think of these as negative cases, and for purposes of fllus-
tration have taken a couple of them today.

THERE ARE MANY cases brought by civil service em-
ployees under the Civil Service Law which make partisans
like myself feel badly in reading them. In most or many
of them, an employee did not have a chance because he
did not handle his case effectively.

LET US LOOK at a few which were reported within
the last month.

JUDGE PAUL J. Widlitz of the Supreme Court in Nas-
sau County heard In Re O’Connel (L, L. Statee Park Com'n.),
reported in the New York Law Journal on July 24, 1962,
He dismissed the employee's petition and confirmed the de-
termination of the Commission removing the employee
from his job, The employee, an honorably discharged vet-
eran, brought this proceeding to annul his dismissal by the
Commission from his civil service position as pool operator.

THE COMMISSION'S principal point was that the pro-
ceeding had not been brought in time, Section 1268 of the
Civil Practice Act, states that these proceedings must be
commenced “within four months after the determination
to be reviewed becomes final and binding.” 7

THE COURT THEN stated the important elements of
time in the case, including the time when the agency au-
thorized the commencement of the proceeeding, the time
when the petitioner admitted service of the notice upon
him, and, most important, the time when the respondent
ratified this action of removal, Then the Court wrote, as
follows:

‘The notice of motion by which this proceeding was brought

on was dated April 17, 1962, over seven months after the dis-

missal, In the court's opinion, the petitioner's right to review

was not timely asserted and the petition must accordingly

be dismissed.

OF COURSE, the result was correct. As stated, the
petitioner had four months in which to bring his proceed-
ing, and not seven.

THEN, ALSO take the case of Baruch y. N. Y. State
Department of Civil Service, reported in the New York
Law Journal on July 18, 1962, which was heard by Judge
Lester Hoffman in Queens County in the Supreme Court,
In that case the petitioner sought reinstatement as an in-
spector-investigator in the New York State Temporary Hous-
ing Rent Commission, which had become the City Rent
Commission. On December 21, 1961, he was Informed by the
Rent Commission of its action, and on January 19, 1962,
that action was sustained by the State Department of Civil
Service,

THE PETITIONER then appealed to the Court, but
help by the Court was refused. The State Civil Service De-
partment appeared specially moved to dismiss the proceed-
ing on the ground that the petitioner's moving papers had
not been validly served upon it. They had been served on
James M. Cunneen, the Department’s District Supervisor
of its New York City office. The Court held that such
service was not service upon the Commission and wrote,
as follows:

It further provides that service upon a board or commission

may be made by serving the chairman, secretary or clerk

thereof , , . As used in these sections the word ‘clerk’ has
been interpreted to mean a general officer and not any person
who happens to hold a clerical position, It is apparent that

the District Supervisor of the New York City office is not the

general clerk of the New York State Department of Civil

Service, Service of the papers herein upon him was ineffec-

tual to obtain jurisdiction of the respondent State Civil Serv-

ice Department. Accordingly, the court is constrained to deny

the petition,

Conclusion

YES, THESE proceeding must be commenced within
four months by service of the papers upon the chairman,
secretary or clerk of the board or commission—and that
does not mean that they can be started later or that the
employee can serve whomever he wants, Watch your step
in civil service proceedings, Get them right so that at
least the issues you wanted to raise will be heard.

Keogh Is Entitled By Law
To Pension, Says Lefkowitz

(Continued from Page 1)
tirement on the attainment of
“at least the minimum retirement
age while in service a$ a member"
and does not require that an
applicant be “in service” on the
effective date of his retirement.
(CI Matter of Eberle v, LaGuardia,
285 N. Y. 247.) By reason of that
provision, and bearing in mind
that membership in the State Re-
tirement System may be retained
for

cial Security Law, 8 40, subd. f,
1), it is apparent that since 1961
when he reached the age of fifty-
five “while In service” as a Justice
of the Supreme Court, the appli-
cant has had a vested and con-
tinuing right to retire under that
System. That right ts recognized
as a contractual obligation and is
guaranteed as such by the Con-
stitution of this State (Article V,

8 7), whieh declares that “mem- |

bership in any pension or retire-
ment system of the state or of a
civil division thereof shall be a
contractual relationship, the bene-
fits of which shall not be dimin-
ished or impaired.” Thus, and
even assuming that the finding of
the applicant's guilt on June 16,
1962, brought about an immediate
vacancy in his office pursuant to
Public Officers Law, $30, the
overriding fact is that under the
existing statute his right to re-
tire matured Prior to and survived
that event and is protected by
the above constitutional provi-
sion
Similar Preeendent

In reaching this conclusion I
am not only aware but fully
mindful that this matter has pre-
cipitated expressions of public
sentiment, on the one hand urg-
ing the denial of a retirement
allowance to a member of the Re-
tirement System who has been
adjudged guilty of a serious crim-
ina! offense, and on the other to
the effect that a retirement al-
lowance once vested should not be
denied. However, I have no dis-
cretion or latitude to read into
the retirement statute that which
does exist and the fact ts that
present law simply does not pro-
vide for pension forfeiture in the
circumstances here presented,

In Matter of Wells vs, State
Retirement System, 285 App, Diy
51, the question was whether @
City Judge, by reason of his re~
fusal to execute a waiver ¢
munity against subsequent
inal prosecution (N. ¥, Con.
thon, Art. 1 $6), had forfei.

BACKS DECISION

five years after separation |
from service (Retirement and So- |

,his office prior to his application
to the State System for a dis-
continued service retirement al-
|lowance, After finding that such
forfeiture had not occurred, the
Court said (p, 55)

The respondents strongly
argue that a public officer who
has refused to sign a walver of
immunity against subsequent
criminal prosecution when call-
ed before a grand jury con-
cerning the conduct of his of-
fice or the performance of his
official duties, should not be
permitted a discontinued serv-
ice retirement allowance. How-
ever, the courts are not at
Uberty to rewrite the statutes,
‘The result we reach |s in accord
with what the Constitution and
Civil Service Law seem to us
to dictate.

Significance

‘The Wells case is particularly
significant since it involved a
discontinued service retirement al-
lowance as to which the statute
expressly provide that the ap-
plicant’s discontinuance from
service shall be “through no fault

or delinquency of his part’ (Re-|

tirement and Social Security Law
$73). No such condition ts al
tached to the granting of an
application for superannuation re-
tirement under
that law.

“As in the Wells case, the
result reached in this opinion

is in accord with constitutional
and statutory requirements and
any inherent or emerging prob-
lem of public policy is outside the
scope of my authority. Rather, it
it is w problem meriting attention
for corrective legislation along the
line heretofore proposed in bills
introduced in the Legislature since
1943 (except for the years 1954
and 1958) and as recently as 1962.
In essence, such proposals pro-
vided for the forfeiture of public
pension or retirement benefits in
the event of malfeasance in office
| (eg., misappropriation of public
|funds, bribery, fraud, corruption,
felony relating to conduct of of-
fice, refusal to executive waiver of
immunity or to testify concern-
ing official conduct.)

Dewey Veto

In 1952, a bill passed the Leg-
islature (Assembly Int 4, Pr
2721) which provided, among
other things, for public pension
forfeiture where a public officer
or employee is found guilty of cer-
tain criminal acts. In his veto
message, commenting on what he
termed the “broad policy ques-
tion”, Governor Thomas E. Dewey
said
| “* © * Under our system of
laws, if a man is found guilty
of a crime we require that he
be punished for that crime in
accordance with penal sanctions
applicable to all persons. If
his acts expose him to civil
ability, established procedures
are invoked which are equally
applicable to all persons

‘This bill adds a special pen-
alty for a public officer or em~
ployee over and above that pre~
scribed in other cases, It would
deprive him and possibly his
widow and other survivors of
rights to # pension established
by Jaw and for which he met all
the statutory requirements at
the time of retirement. It bears
resemblance to odious mediaeval
punishments in which the goods

$70, subd. a, of |

and chattels of a felon were
forfeited to the king, and the
blood of the attained was deem-
ed corrupted so that he could
not transmit his estate to his
heirs, and the heirs could
not take by descent from thelr
convicted ancestor, The doc-
trines of attainder, corruption
of blood and forfeiture were for
the most part abolished in this
State in 1796.

Although I fully appreciate
the indignation aroused by re-
velations that certain public
officers have dishonored their
trust, I think it is clear that
the good in the measure is far
outweighed by considerations of
sound and enlightened public
policy.”

The Differences ..

“I am aware that since the
receipt of your inquiry the Board
of Estimate of the City of New
York voted to reject the retire-
iment application filed by former
Justice Keogh under the City
|System, Whatever its reasons for
;such action, the fact remains, as

GIVES RULING

LOUIS J. LEFKOWITZ

illustrated above, that here we are

idealing with different statutor7
jrequirements which, on their face,
compel a finding in favor of eli-
aibility.

“In view of the constitutional
and statutory provisions referred
to above and on the facts re-
cited, I am constrained to agree
with your conclusions that there
jis no legal impediment to the ap-
|plicant’s eligibility for the State

|retirement allowance he now
| seeks,”
Felly's Statement
In a statement to the press,

Pelly declared:

“This opinion of the Attorney
General of New York State is of
the utmost importance and sig-
nificance to every single member
of the New York State Retirement
System. Almost twenty years ago,
the people of this state cast a con-
stitutional amendment guarantee-
ing the protection of pension
rights to public employees, The
opinion of Attorney General Louls
Lefkowitz vigorously supports the
spirit of this constitutional man-
date. We particularly applaud this
opinion because it was rendered

small group of people who

tempted to engender a climate
of public opinion opposed to the
resulta by failing to mention or

despite strong pressures from a|

point out the legal implications,
IT wish the public to know that
on behalf of the 107,000 public
employees which this Association
represents I fully appreciate the
|indignation aroused by the revela-
tlons that a public officer may
have dishonored his trust. At the
same time, may I remind the
citizens of this state of the in-
frequency of such a situation.

Reasons For Support

“We support this opinion for}
a number, of reasons. There are
thousands of public employees who
reach retirement age every year.
This is no time to place the seeds
of suspicion and doubt as to the |
validity and integrity of their)
contractual claim for retirement |
benefits in the twilight years of
their life, Retirement credits are |
not a gift of the state. They
are earned by the employees while
in service as a fringe benefit and
a form of deferred compensation.

“Tt goes to the heart of the
civil service merit system that
public employees should be pro-
tected from vageries of political
change. Before a political ap-
pointee can fire a civil servant
under the present law, he must |
have good reasons, must afford
an opinion and a fair hearing,
and the right to representation by
council, Part and parcel of this
protection is the assurance that,
regardless of the outeome of the
hearing, the employee's rights to
his pension are protected when |
vested. Without this protection,
any employer wishing an employee
to resign for any number of rea-
sons, personal or political, might
}hold over that employee's head
the threat of departmental hear- |
ing, speedy conviction, and the |
loss of all pension rights unless
that employee promptly resigns. |
Without this protection, no em-
ployee would dare to stand trial
when charges are brought against
him for fear of losing of his pen-
sion rights and accordingly he
would be forced to resign.

“The public will recognize that
it is the responsibility of the At-
torney General as it is of any
|good lawyer, to uphold the law
'To add a special penalty for pub-
lic officers and employees over and |
above that prescribed in the law |
and in the constitution would |
deprive such an nployee, and
possibly his widow and other sur-
vivors, rights to a pension estab-
Mshed by law. I anticipate critl-
cism from some quarters. I firmly
believe however, that our citizens
in general upon more reflection
would resist any attempt to nulify
or temper the present laws which
safeguard the pension rights of
the members of the New York
State retirement system, in order
to correct this one lamentable in-
cident and there-by expose every
loyal, honest, and long-serving
member of the system to @ re-
tivement peril that has no moral
| justification,
