( WASHINGTON—The chance for Federal war serv:

want to, might not be a& slim as it seems.
Since March 16, 1942, all vacated positions in Govern- |
ment have been filled by war service appointments. As

New York City employees get paid vacations, but how

There, each employee gets his 12

are working on the prob-
Jem, and here is how it stands:

Two bills are in the Senate
Military Affairs Committee which
would give Government workers
unemployment compensation after
the war.

‘The first attempt to help was

‘The fund would be administered

ered by experts to be the best bill

Murray bill, which would give all

One fault of this bill is that if
Pederal employees go home after
the war, wide variance in pay-
ment, according to the State in
which the employee lives, would
result,

Many Federal workers would
qualify for the maximum bene-
fits of the various State laws, but
that may mean anything from
$15 to $20 a week for 14 to 23
weeks—or $210 (Arizona and
Mississippl) to $460 (Maryland)
or $468 (California) a year. One-
half of the Federal workers are
in the third of the States with
the more liberal maximum annual
benefits, but one-quarter sre in
the third of the States with the
least liberal annual benefits.

Another Difficulty

Another inequality would arise
for those — especially girls — who
wanted to quit work after the war.
To qualify for compensation bene-
fits the unemployed worker would
have to certify that he wanted a
job and would take anything of-
fered by the U. 8, Employment
Service.

Regarding the lost ground in
old-age compensation plans suf-
fered by joining Government,
there has been some discussion of
transferring 1 per cent of the
contributions made to the Federal
employees’ retirement fund over to
the old-age compensation fund.
This would give the worker the
same annuities when he retires as
if he had had continuous employ-
ment in private industry and had
been contributing bis 1 per cent
all along.

Have a Glimpse at What U. S.
Employees Can Expect After War

WASHINGTON—Here’s a glimpse into the post war
set-up for Government employees.

It comes from Shelby Thompson, assistant to the execu-
tive director, Civil Service Commission.

Here are his predictions:

a backlog of publ of public works.

Many Will Be Retained

‘There likely will be a demand
for retention of many wartime
Federal employees for the man-
ning of peacetime Government |
jobs. However,
occur as returning veterans are
permitted to exercise their re-em-
ployment rights.

“Reductions-in - force will be
conducted by the agencies, under
supervision of the Civil Service
Commission, with the greatest
respect for fairness, Able career
employees of the Government will
find protection in the weight
given to seniority and efficiency
and will not be wilfully and in-
considerately pushed out of their
jobs,” Mr, Thompson says,

‘Here Are Some Good Reasons
‘Why You Shouldn't be Bounced

‘The same applies to other or-
ganizations in this so-called non-
war category such as foreign re-
lations functions of the State De-
partment, monitoring and intelli-
gence work of Federal Communi
cations Commission, ship-buildin,

program and merchant marine ac-
Uvities of the Maritime Commis-
sion, administration of veterans’
affairs by the Veterans’ Adminis-
tration, war finance and tax col-
lection activities of the Treasury
Department, war housing pro-
grams of the National Housing
Agency, legal and investigative
work in the Justice Department,
civilian aeronautical training and
development an and various technical
services in the Commerce Depart-
ment, administering war food pro-
duction and distribution in the
Agriculture Department. These
Federal activities and many other
vital functions, even now being
seriously handicapped by manpow~-
er shortages in certain occup:
tional groups and obaresing | with-
out sufficient staff, would be
ously impaired by the drastic cur-
tailment proposed.

War and Navy Employ Most

Civil Service
Legislation
Before Congress

WASHINGTON, — When cue
gress reconvenes in August,
large number of bills of vital ‘ene
Portance to Federal workers will
await its attention,

Holidays will be one of the sub-
jects that affect all Federal
employees now. It doesn’t look
too good for a restoration of them
while the war is in its present
bitter stage, but in the meantime

Rep. Clason of Massachusetts feels
that something ought to be done
About the situation, He has in-
troduced a bill providing that
employees in any Government
agency who earn overtime pay for
hours in excess of 40 weekly shall
be entitled to time-and-a-half
pay on New Year's Day, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor
Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day, if they work on
those holidays.

lt provides that for employees
paid on a per annum basis, the
daily rate shall be considered
one-three hundred and sixtieth of
the annual rate, which is the
basis on which overtime is now
computed for this group. This bill
would give some employees 50
oe a Ain pay for holi-

ays, e per annum group
about 21.6 per cent more,
12 Months For Promotion

Rep. Ramspeck (D., Ga.) has
introduced a bill that would re-
duce the intervals between with-
in-grade salary advancements
from 18 months to twelve months
for the lower-bracket jobs, where
salary Increments are $60 or $100,
and 18 months instead of 30 for
the jobs where the increments
are $200 or more.

The bill would also provide for
easier meritorious advancements
within the grade,

Transportation Pay

Another Ramspeck - sponsored
bill would permit the payment of
travel expenses and subsistence of
$3.a day en route to persons se-
lected for appointment from the
place of recruitment to their first
Post of duty, provided the appli-
cants agree to reimburse the
Government if they remain on
duty less than six months.

Straight Time Pay

A third Ramspeck bill provides
for straight-time payments to
persons whose work is intermit-
tent or irregular or less Yhan full
time, if they work more than
elght hours in any one day or
more than 48 hours in any one
week.

Still a fourth bill in the series

A small-town girl, Mary
Ruth Nelson came down to
New York City last Wednes-
day, July 12, and emerged as
winner of the coveted title
MISS CIVIL SERVICE OF
1944, over 211 other civil
service employees from State,
Federal and Municipal
agencies.

That attractive brown-haired
girl with gray-green eyes was the
unanimous choice of the judges
from the 42 semi-finalists in The
LEADER's second beauty contest,
The girls were gathered on the
steps of historic New York's City

About Her Husband

Mary is a fairly new State em-
ployee, having taken a position as
a trainee in the State Department
of Health's laboratories at Albany,
N. Y., on May 8, 1944. But she’s
not the only State employee in
her family, Her husband, Harry
B. Nelson, is a State Trooper, a
member of Troop K. And at the
moment that she was selected as
grand prize winner, she wasn’t
even able to let him know because
he was on patrol duty somewhere
in the mountains upstate. In fact,
Mr. Nelson also is a leading State
employee—he was chosen last
summer for the important assign-
ment of guarding the farm at
Pawling, N. Y., where Governor
‘Thomas E. Dewey and his family
have their summer home.

‘Twenty-two year old Mrs. Nel-
son is a native New York Stater.
She was born on a farm in Lin-
colndale, N. Y., a small village in
upper Westchester County. Her
maiden name is Mary Flood, and
she was the third of 5 children—
@ girls and 2 boys—born to Mr.
and Mrs. James Flood, who still
are keeping the farm going.

She went to local schools, and
was graduated from Pawling High
School, where she served as drum-
majorette with the school band
in 1940. Then she worked in a
store in Patterson, N. Y. In April
1944, she married Trooper Nelson.

ome Soldier—Have You Taken

A NYC Civil Service Test?

By JEROME YALE

Many persons who have taken and passed civil service examina-

tions for New York City jobs are now in military service.

Mayor

LaGuardia has directed the Municipal Civil Service Commission that
such eligibles on open-competitive and preferred lists are to be certi-

fied when they are reached for appointment.

Strictly followed, this

would mean that such persons would find a job with the City waiting

when they return from service,

The State Military Law, on this
subject states: “Any appointing
officer or body may in his or its
discretion fill a vacancy by ap-
pointment or promotion of public
employee or any person legally
eligible for such appointment or
promotion, notwithstanding the
absence of such person or em-
ployee in military duty... . Such
employee upon termination of his
military duty’shall have the same
rights, privileges and obligations
as if he had served continuously
in such position from the date of
his appointment.”

Departments Demur

However, when a survey was
made of the City departments by
the Commission, to find how they
felt about apointing persons on
military service, there was a ge
eral protest.

=|

Appointing officers didn’t like
the idea of appointing persons
they never had a chance to see.
Others pointed out that it would
be necessary to appoint military
substitutes to cover important jobs,
and that when the military ap-
pointee returned, there would have
to_be layoffs,

But the words “may in his or
its discretion” provide a conveni-
ent loophole which means that
persons now in the service won't
necessarily be given appointments.

Many of the City departments
make it a matter of policy to pro-
mote employees in service when
they are reached on the list—ef-
fective on their return,

But the service men and women
who haven't worked for the Cit
will have to wait until they b
come civilians again for a chance
to get on the municipal pay roll.

If You're a ‘Military Sub,
These Facts Are for You

This is for employees who have taken jobs with New York City

as military substitutes:

taking the place of men and women who are

in service, Many others have been promoted to higher places during
the time that the regular incumbent is away,

Rights To Original Job

An employee who is offered a
position as a military substitute is
granted a leave from his former
position and his rights to the orig-
inal job are fully protected. The
law says: “Such substitute em-
ployee shall acquire no right to
permanent appointment or tenure
by virtue of his service as a sub-
stitute, and such appointment may
be terminated at any time in the
discretion of the appointing of-
ficer, His rights, if any, with re-
spect to appointment or tenure
shall not,
in any way by his acceptance of
&n appointment as a substitute,”

Get Increments

When the substitute is returned
his original position, he is granted
any increments which would have
come to him if he hadn't taken
the substitute job.

I order to make sure that no
military substitutes are “slid”
into the jobs on & permanent
basis, the law provides when the
substitute appointment must end,

Following are the conditions

| which end a substitute military
| position;

1, When the former incumbent
returns and requests restoration

| his position,

% Upon death or total disabil-
ity of the former incumbent.
3. Upon failure of the regular

however, be impaired |

incumbent to return to his job
after 60 days from his discharge
from the armed: forces.

4, Upon the promotion or ap-
pointment of the former incum-
bent to another position,

However, in practice, @ person
who takes a position with the
City as a military substitute is
fairly sure of a job for the dura-
tion. In some cases where the
original job-holder has returned,
the substitute has been assigned
to another military vacancy.

Letter in LEADER
Gets Quick Results

A letter which appeared in last week's LEADER over the signa-
ture of Harry Mann, clerk in the NYC Department oi

is producing results.

In his letter, Mr. Mann sug-
gested that the City arrange!
courses in such fields as writing, |
art, music, etc, to help City)
workers develop’ their cultural |
life—and at prices which they|
can afford. |

Several City officials have)
taken this matter up with New-|
bold Morris, president of the City |
Council, and it is receiving seri-
0Us consideration at City Hall,

Suggestions

Among suggestions were that
Special arrangements be made}
with the City colleges to provide

other employment than that of
the Board. Proof of such other
employment, without the consent
of the Board, during an employ-
ee's assigned working hours will)
be regarded as an abandonment |
by the employee of his position |
with the Board and will be ground
for dismissal of the employee from |
the service of the Board. Like-
wise, if work performed for an- |
other employer outside of the |
time assigned to an employee for |
his work for the Board causes
him to be unfit for the efficient
| performance of his work for the
Board, this will constitute neglect
of duty and delinquency and will
be punishable by dismissal from
the service of the Board.”

By-Passing Civil Service?
W HAT looks like a cold attempt to by-pass civil ser-
vice procedures, supersede the Feld-Hamilton
career law, and to stymie the State Salary Stand-
ardization Board, has just been perpetrated in Albany.

A new rule (Rule VILI-C) regarding “emergency” in-
stitutional appointments provides that, ‘Whenever it ap-
pears impracticable, because of emergency conditions, to fill
or continue a position in State... institutions on a perma-
nent basis, the Commission, by special resolution, may auth-
orize appointments on an emergency basis.” When an emerg-
ency exists and when it is over will be determined solely by
the Commission,

A second, and even more significant part of the new
rule provides that “Any employee occupying a permanent

ition ... who accepts an emergency appointment... shall

‘anted a leave of absence from his former position .. .

and the vacancy resulting from this leave of absence shall
be filled on an emergency basis for a like period... .”

WHAT IT REALLY MEANS

Now, what does this mean in practice? Let's take an
example: Suppose you are a nurse in a State hospital earn-
ing $1,400 a year, The State says, in effect: ‘Take a leave of
absence from your job, then come back to the same job as
an emergency appointee, and we'll give you $200 a year
more. When we determine that the emergency is over, we'll
revoke your leave of absence, then you can once more come
back to the same job you've been holding all along—at your
old salary of $1,400."

__ It is clear beyond question that this ingenious maneuver
is merely a way of circumventing the necessity of giving
you a permanent raise in salary,

Now let's continue with our example of the nurse, You've
appealed before the State Salary Standardization Board for
an adjustment of pay, in line with your duties and rates of
pay elsewhere. You asked for $1,650-$2,150.

_Now, when the Civil Service Commission establishes an
arbitrary (and temporary) rate of $1,600, what has hap-
pened is that the Salary Standardization Board has been
kicked in the face. It was this board that listened to 40
ae groups of institutional employees. It is this board
which has the legal responsibility for determining what the
proper salary schedule should be. And yet, so far, this board
has failed to act on the appeals which it heard,

STANDARDIZATION BOARD MUST ASSERT ITSELF

Basic increases in State salary scales are long overdue.
The action of the Civil Service Commission looks like a sub-
stitute for the action of the board.

And Rule VIU-C means still further delay in settling
the basic wage problems of the employees.

The Salary Standardization Board has the facts. Its an-
awer to this whole mess is to make the necessary salary ad-
justments without regard to Rule VIII-C, and without re-
gard to pressure from above. The Board must assert the
independence of its thought and action—or stand accused
of voluntarily surrendering its powers and responsibilities
in a manner it should not do under the law ... slinking off
in a corner because it is afraid to do its job.

Governor Dewey has a stake in this issue, too. As
candidate for the Presidency, his stand on the merit system
is of interest to public employees of this State and of the
whole nation,

curious way during his speech at the PBA meeting which

A number of the men pregent

Craig Colony Problems, Solved

UNDER DATE of May 20, 1944, Dr. V, I. Bonafede, President of
the Craig Colony Chapter, Association of State Civil Service Em-
ployees, directed a letter to me in which he called attention to two
conditions existing at that institution that were causing, as he put it,

“great irritation to fifteen or twenty families.”

One of these sources of irritation was the rate of en of houses
owned by the State and rented to employees, October 1,
1943, the date on which the new “Maintenance hares Schedule”
went into effect, the value of the monthly rental was set at $18.00.
‘The new rate established for these houses is $40.00 which is based
on rents charged for comparable houses in the area, As Dr, Bonafede
stated: “No one challenges the fact that the original rent was low,”
but, he added, “when the new rental values went up for employees
in the lower paid groups, there was no com} increase in their
cash salary to offset this additional raise in rent.” This situation was
discussed with the Albany office of the Department of Mental Hy-
giene. It was stated that each employee's schedule of gross salary
would be checked and if any errors were found they would be cor-
rected, Under date of June 8th, I received a letter from Dr, Bona-
fede giving me certain information I had requested and the following
is quoted from this letter:

“In reply to your letter of June 5th, relative to the rental values
of houses occupied by employees, I would advise you that an esti-
mate according to an arrangement with the Department of Mental
Hygiene is being submitted reducing rents to $18.00 per month
retroactive to October 1, 1943. I had not known that the Department
had intended to correct this situation when I wrote to you.” And
Go the question of rents was settled without difficulty.

Anoher Source

THE OTHER SOURCE of irritation by Dr. Bonafede
‘was the question of whether or not these employees occupying Sided

receiving his full salary, he is not entitled to receive laundry service.
‘The employees contend that as long as they live on institution
grounds they are resident employees and entitled to this service.”

"The provision in the “Maintenance Charge Schedule” applicable in
this instance reads as follows:—"Special Laundry Adjustment”—No
resident employee not entitled to family maintenance shall have his
gross salary on September 30, 1943, increased by the value of personal
and household laundry done for him and his family prior to that
date. Any such laundry done after September 30, 1943, shall be
charged for at the rate of $2.50 per month for each family member

other than such officer or employee.” Hence, it would seem that the |

employee is entitled to have his family laundry done in the
institution laundry at a cost of $2.50 per month for each member
of his yoy other than himself, providing, however, that the

laundry is equipped to take care of this service. On taking this
matter up with the Department of Mental Hygiene, I was advised

that Dr. Newton J. T. Bigelow, Deputy Commissioner, had written to
Dr. W. H. Veeder, Director of Craig Colony, under date of June 6th,
as follows:

“The Department believes that you should interpret the section
on laundry rates of the Maintenance Charge Schedule Mterally. It
would appear that resident employees should be allowed their per- |
sonal and household laundry without charge, but a charge should be
made for personal laundry of such in the household as are not em-
ployees.” And so, the other problem has been settled.

I wish to point out that both of these questions were settled by
the Commissioner of Mental Hygiene in a manner acceptable to the
employees and without any “fuss or fury” other than the simple
procedure of calling the situation to the attention of the ial
officials.

it was learned this week.

When heads of institutions in
the department denied the em-
ployee applications for a release
so they could go into higher-pay-
ing jobs, appeal was taken to the
Civil Service Commission, but the

ment of Health, Buffalo, N. Y.

thing in her power to bring the

Illinois where she received «
bachelor’s and Master's degree in
Chemistry, specializing in bio-
chemistry, She first came to
Rochester, where she was em-
ployed in the Rochester General

Hospital. Then, when she had
met the residential requirements,
she took the State examination

for Research Assistant and re-
ceived her appointment to the
State Institute for the Study of
Malignant Diseases at Buffalo.

She's a Scientist

‘That was 13 years ago, and
since then. she has been one of
the group of scientists working
for the State who are striving to
find a cure for the dread maiady
of cancer,

At college she studied French
and German. ‘Since then she has
picked up Italian, Spanish and
Russian; and has studied astron-
omy as another hobby.

Seen and Heard
In Vet Agency

JUST HOW are promotions
made. . . That's the question. . ,
‘This correspondent the other day
took a survey on the subject and
found that the promotions were
being made “according to Hoyi+.”
At least, that’s how it would a;
pear to the average person mak-
ing inquiries, Let us demonstrate
by means of an example. Two
persons working for the sanw
agency, one for the manager, di-
rectly, the other in one of the de-
partments, although both persons
might be “EXCELLENT,” the one
working in the Manager's office
will get much further... . "The
human clement,” they call it,
Similarly, those close to the big
bosses get their * “Excellents. ” the
others, their “Very Goods,” :
When it comes to promotions, t
ones near the big chiefs, “request
certain positions that they have
heard were “open” and in many
instances, the particular division
boss writes a “recommendation”
for his pet... . Need I say that
these “Excellent” workers get
those Jobs?

If they are not satisfied with the
Job offered them, they can get to
the responsible authorities to
“discuss” their problem without
red-tape. They just “drop in for
a friendly chat.” It helps, of
course, if the person is female
and atractive. This system is
rampant from the main floor to
the very top at Veterans Admin-
istration in New York City.

PERSONNEL now being hired
at Vets with “Bookkeeping” ex-
perience are wondering just what
they are going to do in Vets that
will utilize this experience . .
seems that they have been a.
signed in the majority of instances
to positions not requiring the
knowledge of Bookkeeping. .. .

there will be six units set up. ..

D. J. LALOR

‘Snafu’ Describes Fire
Endowment Situation

A new high in confusion is set by the current liquidation of the
6 NYC Fire Department endowment associations which is now being
conducted by the State Insurance Department,

| State Insurance Department, ask-
| ing for “all benefits to which T
may be entitled as a member in
ey | ont standing”. But this help
on the part of the department
| didn’t do any good to about 3,500
| of the men,

They're members who dropped
out of the endowment groups
when they saw that the organ-
izations were headed for the rocks.

Adding to Confusion

They're not in good standing,
so they couldn’t fill in the forms
|... Then to add to the confusion,
some of them received bills from
the State Insurance Department,
asking for back payment of dues.

In addition, if thay became
paid-up members they'll be lable
for assessments in some of the
association, if they pay dues.

Tf they don’t pay up, they're
able for assessments if they were
in good standing one year before
the date of lquidation,

Men Looked Into It

The Elected Endowment In-
vestigation Committee, headed
by Prank A, Mott, of Hook and
Ladder 26, made a survey and
reported that the men ought to
get together and try to make
order out of the chaos, If they
can’t get their cash back, at
Teast they may be able to de-
duct the losses from thelr in-
come tax.

The Committee also advised
them that they only have four
months from the date on which

associations surrendered to
the State to get their olaims in,

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

State Assn. Protests ‘Emergency’ Rule

(Continued from page 1)

ton Law in the expectation that it
would bring about long overdue
increases in basic salary scales.
When it was put into effect on
October 1, 1943, they were dis-
heartened and dismayed. The
scales promulgated were so inade-
quate and inequitable that in far
too many cases employees found
that the basic rates for their posi-
tions had been reduced rather than
increased. Many of them lost
hope snd left the state service.
The majority remained, in the
hope and expectation that the in-
equities would be promptly cor-
rected through the appeal proce-
dure set up by the Feld-Hamilton
Law.

Further Delay Harmful

“Any further ‘elay in the final
determination of these appeals will
inevitably result in a further loss
of confidence. Already rumors
ciroulating to the effect that the
Board is delaying its decisions:
that the make-shift expedient of
“emergency institutional appoint-
ments” is to be inaugurated in-
stead of the essential revision of
basic scales and that the Board
will not decide the appeals until
far-reaching, though unspecified,

amendments to the Peld-Hamilton
schedules are put through at the
next session of the Legisiature,

“The inadequacy of the rates as
Promulated, the inequities and
disparities that have been demon-
strated on the appeals before your
Board, and the long-continued de-
Jay in remedying these conditions
have combined to create an ex-
tremely critical situation, wholly
destructive of morale in the insti-
tution service.

“The Association has gone as
far as it can go in advising em-
ployees to patiently await the de-
cisions of the administrative

| agencies, whose decisions are of

such vital importance,

“I think it extremely important
that the Board make a public an-
houncement as to when the ap-
peals now pending before it will be
decided. May I, therefore, request
that you let me know the approxi-

. | mate date when the Salary Stand-

ardization Board will hand down
its decisions?”

To Civil Service Commissioner
Conway, Mr, Shoro wrote;

“The Association is disturbed
by the implications and far-
reaching consequences of your
new Rule VIII-C with reference

to ‘emergency Institutional
pointments,’

“We feel that the adoption of
the proposed policy is not only
unnecessary but that it is com-
pletely at variance with the
principles of the career law and
cannot fail to be destructive of
morale throughout the institu-
tional service, Our reasons for
this view are fundamental:

“(1) The proposal on its face
has the appearance of a muake-
shift expedient designed to by-
pass the established procedure set
up under the Feld-Hamilton law,

“The Feld-Hamilton law, with
its provisions for hearings before

Bp.

the Salary Standardization Board, |

is completely adequate to make
ordinary as well as emergency sal-
ary adjustments, Salary schedules,
established last year, have been
reviewed in formal hearings which
were conducted by the Board dur-
ing April, May and June of this
year, These hearings were con-
cluded over a month ago, We be-
Meve that the necessary amend-
ments to the salary schedules
should be made by the Board un-
der established procedure on the
basis of the complete facts now
in their possession rather than by

ves,

apparent Og od for delaying the
decisions of Salary Standard-
ization Board which has at its
command in fact, as well as in
Jaw, all of the facilities of the
technical staffs of the various
branches of the State government
a8 well as the wealth of informa-
tion placed at its disposal by the
employees who appeared at the
hearings.

“(2) The new policy cannot be
viewed by employees in any other
light than as a substitute for ac-
tion by the Salary Standardiza-
tion Board or an invitation to the
Board to further delay its deci-
sions

“Your announcement establish-
ing a minimum salary of $1,600 for
Staff Nurses would be entirely un-
necessary if the Board would act
ipon the very modest appeal of
the Staff Nurses for a salary scale
of $1,650-$2,150, a request that
was supported not only by depart-
ment heads but by the report of
the Dawson Commission.

(3) ‘The proposed policy, which
has been used to give an emer-
gency increase to Nurses, must in

“The career Jaw was adoptcd for
the avowed purpose of correcting
the inequalities and inequities
that have long existed. The ad-
Justments sought by employees
were not emergency adjustments,
They were to correct long stand=
ing inadequacies in basic scales,

Old Scales

“The facts brought out at the
hearings have established that the
salary scales established on Octo-
ber 1, 1943 were, In many cases,
unsound and unsatisfactory, Em=
ployees have been unbelievably pa-
tient and wholly cooperative in
following and waiting upon the
procedure set up for the correc-
tion of these errors. Very satisfacey!
tory progress has been made in
correcting classification errors, but
initial errors in salary schedules
still remain unchanged, although
ten months have elapsed. The
maintenance of morale among in-
stitution personnel depends upon
the prompt correction of these
errors; the problem cannot be
solved by halfway measures which
will inevitably cause disillusion-

“We are issuing a call for a
meeting of Association represent-
atives of all state institutions to
take action with reference to the.
problems arising from the pro-
posed ‘emergency’ policy and the
delay in Salary Standardization
Board decisions.

“We respectfully request that
you join with us in requesting a
| prompt determination of the ap-
jpeate now pending before the Sal-
ary Standardization Board, that
the proposed emergéncy policy be
reconsidered in its entirety and its
further application be held in
@beyance until a more satisfac-
tory plan can be formulated,”

WASHINGTON. — Postal em~-

welcome news these hot days,

An order issued by the First
Assistant Postmaster General pro~
vides that postmasters may grant
the combined compensatory time

| urday service in one period, How-
Jever, the rules still provide that
| time off for Saturday and Sun-
day work must be given within five
days, and holiday time off within
30 days,

And compensatory time may be
used as part of a day and be fol~ .
lowed by work at overtime rates,
Another change in the rules
reads; “When the exigencies of
the service require an employee
who has been on leave with pay
or compensatory time, a part of
his schedule may be employed
after he has completed 6 hour
of combined leave and service on
an 8-in-10 hour basis, and be
paid therefor as overtime,”

Post V-Day Job

What will happen around the
Department of Welfare after
“Vy” day is becoming the concern
‘pf far sighted Welfare employees.
‘The Veterans Division of the de-
partment is already beginning to
| get a foretaste of what conditions
| the department will face after the
1 Nobel With a low of 125 workers,

‘that bureau is now facing a short-
aire of help. When need for invest-
igators show up, there are plenty
‘round the other Welfare Centers
who can be spared to work with
‘the veterans.

After World War I
| But after the war,. conditions
“yrill be different. Following World
f far I, the staff of the Welfare
Department expanded so greatly
} that there were 16,617 employees
| in the Home Relief Division alone.
| ‘Today the entire department has
only 4,492 employees.
¢ Some of the persons now work-
ing for the City Welfare Depart-
ment may find themselves State
employees in the future. A State
Rehabilitation Program is now in
its inception and it may absorb
the Veterans and other welfare
sub-divisions.

a Veteran Aid
According to law the veterans
aide of Welfare activities consists
‘of helping not only veterans but
‘also their dependents. Today there
are still widows and daughters of
Civil War veterans who are re-
ceiving assistance. An increasing
number of World War II veterans
‘are being referred to the depart-
ment by the various veterans or-
ganizations and the Federal Vet-
erans Administration which has
close connection with Welfare ac-
tivities.

Some Welfare employees are
afraid that the present adminis-
‘tration of the department is not
showing sufficient imagination in
setting the framework for facing
future problems, The abolition of
‘Welfare Centers; stretching case-

cause the present load of 101,350
cases reflects war-time prosper-
‘uty is a bad policy they feel.
‘They would like to see the or-
ganization kept at peak efficiency
to be able to meet any emergency
that might be brought on by post-
‘war economic conditions. Even
with the increase in State and
Federal participation in Welfare
work, they predict a big post-war
Job for the municipal agency, Par-
ticularly if another depression
should come along.

for certain positions at inter-

Rep. Rees of Kansas has a bill
before the House which would
make the law perfectly clear that
the size of a unit or the number
of employees supervised need not
be regarded by anyone as the
sole factor determining the grade
and pay of the supervisor.

When Congress adjourned it
apparently was in no mood for
civil service legislation of any
sort. To curry the favor of as
many voters as possible on the
eve of one of the most important

expected to give serious thought

Personnel Officer
Test Is Cancelled

Many employees of the NYC
Health Department were looking
forward to an examination for
Personnel Officer which had been
ordered by the Civil Service Com-
mission and were waiting to learn
the eligibility requirement.

But last week, they got the bad
news. The Commission ordered
the test cancelled and denied the
request of the Health Department
for an open competitive test.

supply men in the armed service
with books they want. Recently,
however, a totally different re-
quest has come to the Library's
Public Health Division which
merits interest and attention,
One of the social agencies re-
ferred a specific request from a
Prisoner of War who was confined
in a prison camp in Germany to
the Library's Public Health Divi-
sion Librarian. He desired several
good books on the subject of City
| Health Inspector. The Prisoner of
War wrote that he had plenty of
time and he desired to utilize it in
preparng himself for the next
civil service examination for City
Health Inspector, The Librarian
immediately recommended several
good titles which would help him,
| and the agency proceeded to pur-
chase them and supply them to

this optimistic ambitious
Prisoner of War.
The prompt, efficient service

which this request received by the
| Municipal Reference Library is
| one of the many services available
| to all who make use of the Li-
brary's resources,
