Pecora. ‘The candidates all had

sentence on the examination as |
incorrect: “May I help you with
your problem of reorganization of
the personnel.” They marked it
wrong on the assumption that it
should be terminated with a ques-

Not so, said the legal and gram~-
matical wizards of the Municipal

sentence was correct, of course,
with a question mark at the end;
but, they contended, it was also
correct with a period. In answer
to this argument, the Clerks pre-
sented a bevy of letters from high-
ranking authorities upholding the
view that the sentence was a di-
zect question and needed an in-
terrogation point,

motion examination for Chief of the Department. The job
as been vacant ever since McBlligott’s bungling fiasco last
Winter. The Civil Service Commission declared, when it
ordered the test several months ago, that it wanted to be
prepared with a list in case the Mayor decided to appoint a
Fire Chief to fill the vacant post. A check with the Com-
mission last week turned up a lot of hedging and hemming
and hawing. The Commission didn’t know when the test
would be held; the Commission didn’t know whether or not
there was a vacancy; the Commission didn’t know whether
or not there was a budget line for the position, etc., etc, We
suspect McElligott will stay on, further impairing the morale
of the men in one of the most vital departments in the city;
that he'll hang onto his job until he's assured a fat pension

Arsonists
Take Warning!
Speaking before the Interna-
tional Association of Police Chiefs)
at Milwaukee last week, Thomas
P. Brophy, Chief Fire Marshal of
New York City, issued a sharp
warning against arsonists. Brophy,
who has spent 30 years in study-
ing and tracking down firebugs,
said that arson is the favorite in-
strument of saboteurs. “It is use-
less to build fences, guard gates
and install fire protection if per-
sons with anti-American minds
are permitted to stay on American
payrolls, This is not the time for

The International Association of Police Chiefs went

to script writers.

The 11-Squad System in Practice
Last week, The Leader took a member of the Police force (whom we called Joe Hill)
through his working ‘ay under the 10-squad set-up, and compared it with his working day,
as it would be under the new proposed 11-squad system. We showed that the present 32-
hour swing, which is supposed to give a man a day off, doesn’t do so at all. If Joe Hill is
off at 8 a.
(that’s 32 hours, figure it out yourself), where’s his day off?

What Cops Think
We canvassed a good many cops
during the week, some of them
men on the beat, and some of
them pretty high up—and not a
single one opposed the 11-squad
system. Every one felt that the
morale of the force would be
yastly improved if the ‘system
were put into effect.
A number of cops wrote in, and
some phoned, asking us to show
just how a man could put in 6
tours a week, and still get “two
days off", that is 48 hours,
“You'd need 8 days a week,”
they said. Others pointed out that
@ man would come on and off at
the same every day every week,

Transportation, as we have no
one to represent us and state
our grievances,
Tam one of a group of “In-
Spectors of Service” of the BQT
Division,
We work 9 hours a day, some-
times 12 or 14, for which we do
not get overtime or time off,
Every other department has
been put on 8 hours since the
clty took control of the transit
system, except the trolley and
bus operators who get paid by
the hour (time and a half after
10 hours),
We work 7 days and are off
on the eighth day providing
this day does not happen to fall
on a Sunday or holiday, in
Which case you lose your day
off (no other day is given).
There are 3 rates of pay
{$190-$200-$210) per month,
Why? No one can explain,
Since we all do the same work,
@nd some of the lowest rate
™men have more seniority than
the top rate men.
These are a few of the condi-
tions we have to contend with,
I do not think the Board of
‘Transportation is aware of con-
ditions among Inspectors.
INSPECTOR OF SERVICE.
LOW PAY OF SIXTH
AVENUE AGENTS
Sirs: As the wife of a Sixth
Avenue Agent and mother of
three children, I would like to
know if anything is going to be
done about the rate of pay of
the Sixth Avenue men, who at
present are receiving 48.1 cents
per hour, amounting to approx-
imately $23 a week.
Qualified men, they have put
their time in and have as high
@ rating as any agent and
therefore surely are entitled to
the same rate of pay, 65 cents
an hour, as the Second and
Ninth Avenue men received who
lost out for the same reason.
Don't you think in all fair-
ness, the city should give these
men the same rate of pay, and
reimburse them from the date
of unification. If not, have
these men a case in c

5, COORDINATION TEST.
The purpose of this part is to
test the speed with which you
respond in an emergency, You
will be seated in an ordinary
truck cab facing a large panel on
which are five placards reading:
left turn, right turn, left foot,
right foot, hand brake, Below
each placard are a row of green
and red lights. Pay no attention
to the green row on top as they
are for the examiner and do not
change, Watch the red; when one
goes on, obey the placard above
it as quickly as possible. For ex-
ample, if the red light goes on
under RIGHT FOOT, you shove
in the pedal under your right
foot. You must perform in re-
sponse to five signals—and you'll
be given plenty of time between
signals. In the test for Sanitation
Man a perfect score was a total
of two seconds in which to com-
plete all five responses, with a
loss of one point for each tenth
of a second lost over two seconds,
Thus, a time of 2.1 seconds gains
a mark of 99%, of 2.5 seconds
gains 95%, and so on down to a
grade of 50% for 7 seconds, This
scale may be altered for the Auto
| Engineman test.

Review
-\ HE first editorial that appeared in the Civil Service
A | Leader, 52 weeks ago, said in part;
“For many years people~those in the Civil Service
field and those who are outside of it—have wanted a
newspaper that would give them complete impartial news
of Civil Service . . . a newspaper tied down with no
political strings—that spoke for no one party and no
one group—a newspaper in which they could find
straightforward news and honest, authoritative com-
ment...”
With this editorial formula, plus our endeavor to
present Civil Service information in sprightly, interest-
ing fashion, The Leader has captured an audience
larger than that anticipated when the paper began,
The Leader has steered clear of politics, personal
feuds, petty fights, name-calling. The Leader has stuck
to its main job of reporting news—and reporting it first;
of giving every possible service to civil employees, elig-
ibles, and candidates.
During its first year, The Leader...
+. campaigned successfully for the transfer of 12,000
Sanitation men from the labor to the competitive class;
. fought for the abolition of the labor class entirely,
and the transfer of all laborers into the competitive class,
thus giving them security and their jobs stability. Next
July will witness complete fruition of this campaign,
obtained an extra day off for Civil Service em-
Pployees during the Christmas season, through appeals
to President Roosevelt, Governor Lehman, and New York
City officials;
«+. entered the battle for restoration of salary incre-
ments to State employees and won;
+» + Was instrumental in saving the Ramspeck bill,
which would bring to 150,000 federal employees the se-
curity of Civil Service, by persuading Senator James M.
Mead to take up cudgels for the measure; has since
sought by every means to secure its passage—and the
chances look good;
sponsored Civil Service Day at the World's Fair
on June and brought out thousands of employees for
the occasion;
, » + asked Governor Lehman to grant a holiday to
State employees for that day—a request which the Goy-
ernor heeded;
+ « + Stood solidly by the city's doctors and dentists
while their Civil Service privileges were being shorn
from them; still stands by them today, as they struggle
to regain those rights, .
.+ + fought against the creation of second-class citizens
out of Civil Service employees through the enactment
of legislation restricting civil rights—a fight which was
won in Albany, lost in Washington;
asked proper salaries for Case Supervisors in the
ve Department. The salaries were restored to their
t levels;
. + has presented a plan to enable conscriptees to take
Civil Service examinations, a plan now under serious
consideration by public officials;
+ + has gone on record against the federal “quota”
system which discriminates against qualified Civil Service
candidates and harms the merit system;
«+, created a job exchange plan, and then worked out
& simplified system of job transfers for which it is try-
Ing to obtain official acceptance,
The Leader has made mistakes, too—these were in-
evitable, and we have learned from them how to make
® better paper, But the spirit that guided that first
editorial has permeated all that The Leader has done,
and will continue to imbue everything which this news-
paper shall accomplish,
°
Ramspeck Bill U
HE Leaver this week heard from Sen: ator Mead,
The Ramspeck bill is probably coming up shortly
in the Senate, This is the measure which would
bring 150,000 federal employees under Civil Service. The
bill, giving new vigor to the merit system, requires the
support of every Civil Service employee. If this bill
Passes, the security and dignity of civil workers are in-
creased, Do what you can to urge passage of the Rams-
peck measure!
Meanwhile, Senator Mead will keep The Lpaper, and
through us the civil servants, thoroughly informed of
all progress on the bill,
Tuesday, September 1%, 1949 ‘1940
CIVIL SERVICE LEADER :
Merit
Men
Francis W.
Lent
a college professor. A big,
strapping one, yes, but a col-
lege professor, He's a quiet, mod-
est, soft-spoken individual, who
took it quite easily when he
learned, a few weeks ago, that his
name was number 1 on the list
of those who passed the Police
Lieutenant's exam,
This quietness, this utter lack
of bragadoccio is the measure of
@ man whose destiny in police ser-
vice is conceded by all who know
him to be a high one,
When Lent put in his applica-
tion for the Lieutenancy, he had
only a little more than two years
as a Sergeant, most of it spent
dashing around in a radio car,
Many of the men had far more
seniority than he, far more ex-
perience on the force—he's only
35. But his accomplishment on
the exam was so brilliant as to
overcome the lack of seniority,
One reason for this may well
be Lent’s fondness for history and
literature. He knows how to use
words, The exam required the
composition of long essays and
short essays in answer to ques-
tions. It was a pipe for a man
who handles words as fluidly as
does Lent, and who thinks as in-
cisively,
Cop’s Qualities
These qualities—cool demeanor,
excellent use of language, good
head—are invaluable assets in
modern police work. The tempo
of a policeman’s job is far more
telling than it has ever been be-
tore. Among his associates in the
department, Lent has the reputa-
tion of nalmness under stress. He
is able to instill confidence in his
subordinates as well as in the
public,
How is it done? Let Sergeant
Lent explain,
“Much can be accomplished if
faith in your ability can be es-
tablished and this can only he
Gone by maintaining a cool head
no matter what the emergency or
situation with which you are con-
fronted.” Lent’s method of en-
couraging his subordinates, of
trying to understand their prob-
lems, has gained him wide aftec-
tion.
If you get to know Westchester
Freeones LENT looks like
at all well, you'll find a lot of
Lents there. Reason: the Lents
came over from Holland and set=
tled in Westchester in 1636,
Frank’s father was a towerman on
the New York Central, And when
young Francis got out of high
school it seemed natural to seek a
job on the railroad, He got one—

graphy and typing for the New

ing under Chief Inspector Cosiu-
ma. “The Chief has been a tre-
mendous influence in my life,
Lent says with enthusiasm. Dw
ing his stay with the Juvenile Bu-
reau one of Frank’s jobs was to
travel over the city lecturing to
school groups, churches and
youth organizations,
Again With Costuma
Today, Lent works with Chief
Costuma again, He's over at Po-
lice Headquarters writing “Orders
of the Day.” These contain the
information that every cop must
have from day to day—about
changes in laws, parade duty,
special subjects like the handling
of bombs, information about pri+
mary day activities, and so forth,
Lent likes the work. He’s in-
tensely interested in police theory,
reads everything he can on police
work, Asked about his ideas on
modern police innovations, he re
Plies, with a smile: “Wait till T
have more experience.”
In his 12 years in the Police De-
partment, Lent has never had a
black mark against him. More,
the quality of his pistol shooting
is such that he has qualified as
an expert pistol shot every three
months since he's in the service.
Woe the criminal that gets in
Lent's way!
Oh yes, we almost forgot; At
home, there's a wife and six kids
—five of them daughters! And
if you're interested, here’s another
tidbit: If Lent hadn’t become a
cop, he might have been a radio
singer, His voice still sounds dul-
cet over the telephone.’ Try him,

Eligibles and Conscription
Sirs: Tf conscription passes, it
should become a policy that no
person who has passed a Civil
Service examination shall lose
his position on the register by
reason in the armed forces,
I suggest the following proce-
dur
1, When the eligible (con-
scriptee) is reached for appoint
ment, he shall be certified and
appointed, and then recelve a
leave of absence, without pay,
for a period not to exceed 13
months,
2, Temporary or substitute
employees selected from Civil
Service lists shall take the eli-
gible’s place during his absence.
3, When the period of con-
scription is over, the eligible
shall have a period of one
month in which to decide whe-
ther he wishes to accept the
Civil Service job.
4, If he accepts the job, he
shall be entitled to all benefits
just as if he had actually been
working for a year,
5. If an eligible is on more
than one list, he shall have the
‘ight to decide which of the
Jobs he wishes to take,
6. The Civil Service Commis-
sion shall be authorized to ex-
tend the life of any register for
@ period of one year, beyond
the present limit of four years.

Budgeting |
In the realm of governmental |
budgeting, our foes the ‘real es-
tate speculators and greedy amas- |
sers of vate profit, will cry out
for salary cuts and budget reduc-
tions’ in. order that they can
counterbalance their payments in
income and other taxes for na-
ments of taxes needed for the
support of the schools,
‘These thrusts will come at the
|very time when living costs will!
|soar because of increased taxes
for defense and increased cost of
peacetime production due to the
shortage of skilled workers. Such |
|@ general increase of living costs
jalways accompanies a_ period
| when there is an added drain on
;men and commodities because of
|the.need of doing more than the}
|normal amount of work.
There is already a strong indi-|
cation that this will take place
within the next few months,
|Commodity prices are already on}
the rise, and so are labor costs. |
Assemblyman Abbot Low Moffat
in a speech upstate recently told
|a group of realtors that the tax/
[rise for rearmament will have to
|be offset by a lesser appropria-|
tions for peacetime expenditures
—and remember, Moffat fathered |
the salary cut bills last year,
Our foes, the taxcutters, this |
year will claim that they are mo-
tivated by a spirit of high patri-
otism—that they want teachers’)
salaries reduced so that more mo-
jmey can be spent for defense.
Then they will sit down and try
to figure out how they can avoid
paying their rightful share of the
defense taxes. And all the while
the cry will go up in the halls of
the legislatures, “Billions for ae-|
fense, but let's get part of it by
cutting teachers’ salaries.”
Sacrifices
I do not say that sacrifices
| shouta not be made for the de-
fense program. Of course they
should, But we must be vigilant
to see to it that we are not the
| goats—that we are not singled out
|as the only group, or one of the
only groups, to take a salary cut,
Remember, the added ta: for
| defense will hit us as well as every- |
| one else and we shall pay them
gladly. Remember also that last
year when a sacrifice was de-
manded to balance the State and|
City budgets, the powers that be
in the State Legislature—on the
Republican side at any rate,
though with noteworthy excep:
that the teacher:
should foot the bill as a patriotic |
duty, It was the easiest way for
them to balance the budget, be-
cause the teachers constituted the
largest group of civil employees. |

|Free Speech |
Discrimination against the,
Teachers Union by the Principal)
of James Monroe High School, is|
the subject of a brief submitted)
| to the Commissioner of Education |
of New York State. More speci- |
\fically, it is the appeal of Miss
| Rae Glauber from the refusal ot |
the Board of Examiners to grant
| her an English Teacher's license
| after satisfactory service as a
| substitute for almost nine years.
| Miss Glauber, represented by
Charles Barasch, maintains that,
after receiving satisfactory re-
| ports from the principals of many
different city high schools, she
was given an unsatisfactory rec-
ommendation by. Dr, Henry E.
{ Hein, principal of James Monroe,
after speaking at a meeting which |
| he-had called. |
| This meeting was the culmina- |
tion of a series at which the Prin.
! cipal allegedly attacked the teach-
| ers’ organizations, and the Teach-
ers Union sought to clear the mat-
j ter among its members. At his
“open meeting,” Dr, Hein an-
| nounced, members of the faculty
| would have full opportunity to ex-
press themselves without fear of
recrimination, |
Miss Glauber, in response to|
this assurance, arose to speak on
the matter of the moment: wheth-
er or not substitute teachers had
|been coerced to serve the last
four days of the Spring, 1938
semester without pay while the
regular teachers were attending
the conference of the N.E.A. To
have teachers volunteer had been
| the original plan, but the Teach-
ers Union had objected, and the
| teachers were put on a paying
| basis for those four days. Miss
Glawber, however, maintained
| that there had been coercion in|
| these appointments. |
In the standard principal's re~
port on the conduct and ability
of a substitute teacher, Dr. Hein
stated, in part, in relation to this
meeting: “Miss Glauber attended
a general conference on June 17,
1938 at which she arose to make a
speech extolling” the Teachers
Union (although this was not
pertinent to the discussion)...
she attacked the principal... She
challenged the principal to do
anything to her, threatening him
with the strength of the Teachers
Union. Teachers near her . . «
prevailed upon her to sit down.”
Because of this unsatisfactory
report, states the brief, four bet
ter-than-average recommenda-
tions were ignored and a license
refused.
Mr, Barasch states that he will
produce affidavits disproving the
foregoing statements and will en=
deayor to show that Miss Glau-
ber, at the principal's ‘request,
spoke her mind quietly and
politely, on the subject of coercion
of substitute teachers, Because
she suggested that there had been
coercion in procuring substitutes
after the Teachers Union had been
instrumental in causing provision
for thelr payment, Mr. Barasch
states that she was punished,
The purpose of the appeal to
the Commissioner is to have the
local Board's decision reversed
and a license of Teacher of Eng~
Ush-in Junior High School granted
Miss’ Glauber.

ing on 9 register of 2,500,000 un=
employed people, in order to clas«
sify their skills. The WPA short+
ly will make available to the Civil
Service Commission, the names of
men on work projects who are
able to hold skilled jobs. A sep=

prepared by the Civil Service
Commission and the National Re-
sources Planning Board,
Snap ‘Em Up
The Civil Service Commission is
constantly in touch with colleges
and. trade schools, employment
departments of private concerns,
the U.S, Employment Service, and ’
other agencies, ready to snap up
any skilled worker who is avail-
able. In addition the Commission’
is sending its field representatives
around the State to interview men
who may be used in the defense
program.
One of the field representatives,
Richard D. McCormack, a few
days ago interviewed 44 men in
Syracuse and succeeded in get=
ting three Engineering Draftsmen,
two Tool and Guage Designers,
three Toolmakers, and eight Ma-
chinists. According to James B.
Rossell, manager of the District
office of the Civil Service Com-
mission, private concerns are co
operating with the government in
| its attempt to find skilled workers,
Most of the men getting Civil Ser-
vice jobs in defense work are
either unemployed or employed in
occupations in which they are not
vital.
“It is not our policy,” explained
Rossell, “to interfere with the
normal operations of any private
industry engaged in critical work
for national defense. But it has
been our experience that firms
working on government contracts
ae not object to the policy of
| Sharing skilled men. They will
| let a man go if he is not vital,”
|
Rossell scoffed at reports that
rumors which have circulated re-
cently because of the defense pro-
gram, the ordinary Civil Service
Procedures might break down and
that government agencies might
start hiring their workers direct.
“Whom would they hire?” Ros-
sell asked. “We have all the
skilled help coralled and all the
| sources tapped. We are even get-
Ung requests from department
| who want us to fill exempt jobs.

Service Ratings May
Come Once a Year
As an economy move the Municipal Civil Service Commission
is considering a change of policy by which service-ratings for
city employees would be made once a year, instead of each six
months as is the present policy.
The Commission will probably
take action on this measure within a few weeks.
The service rating program
was inaugurated by the present
members of the Civil Service Commission as an aid in judging
an employee's performance on the job. The department officials
give a rating, varying from minus 3 to plus 3, to each of their em-
ployees, based on how well they have performed their duties.
These service ratings are included in promotion examinations in
computing’ the grade to be allotted ae, an ilk fae record,

ing recreational activities of neuro-
psyehiatric patients: or b) one year
