Dewey in Position
To Name Three
Personnel Heads
ALBANY, Dec. 21 — Speculation
‘Was rife in all government depart-
ments as Governor Dewey retained
to himself the name of his new ap-
Pointee to head the State Civil
Service Commission. The new man
will replace J. Edward Conway,
Ree head of the Commission.
¢ Governor is also in the unique
position of being able to name two
additional board members: Louise
C. Gerry's term expired on Pebru-
ary, 1, 1951, and she has reached
retirement age. Alexander A, Falk,
the Democratic member also faces
expiration of his term.
At a press conference, the Gov-
ernor said that the man he had
selected for the post was a $60,000
executive from private industry. |
‘The State job, with salary and ex-
tras, will gross $20,500, The Gov-|
ernor revealed that his man,
whom he called “an outstanding
el administrator,” hed a}
years to go before retirement |
rivate job, end was settling
his private affairs and taking on
the State task before his retire-
ment came due,
Falk to Stay?
It was considered probable that
Alexander A, Falk would be re-
appointed. There has been little
talk in Democr ¢ circles about a
replacement; presumably, if the|
Governor would want to replace
the New Yorker who was a
former State Senator, some over-
tures would already have been
made in the Democratic direction.
Moreover, relations
Governor and Mr, Falk are con-
sidered to be pleasant, even
though the Democratic member
fought the Governor's civil service
reorganization plan two years ago.
Possibilities for Gerry Post
Several names have been men-
tioned as possibilities to fill the
post now held by Miss Gerry. One
of these names is Mary Goode
Krone, of the State Tax Depart-
ment, who also heads the Person-
nel Council. Miss Krone, a rest-
dent of Westchester, stands well
in Republican councils. Another
name mentioned is Mrs. Esther
Bromley, wife of former Court of
Appeals Judge Bruce Bromley.
Mrs. Bromley, who resides in NYC,
was a member of the NYC Civil
| Service Commission appointed by
| Mayor LaGuardia. She ks now ac-
tive in the Civil Service Reform
| Association. There is also talk
| that Buffalo politicians would like
| to see the Gerry replacement come
from the western part of the
State, Miss Gerry resides in Buf-
falo,
May Be Short Appointment
‘The man whom Governor Dewey
appoints to succeed Judge Con-
way will become a member of the
executive cabinet. He will exercise |
wide powers of administration un-
der a new law passed by the Legis-
lature. But also under that law, he
serves at the pleasure of the Gov-

Employee Group Finds Clever
Ways to Push Campaign
For State-Wide Pay Boost
KINGS PARK, Dee. 21 — An
employee organization in Long Is-
land has taken a number of tn-
genious steps to help obtain a pay
raise for workers in State institu-
tions.
One of the steps by the Kings
Park chapter of the Civil Service
Employees Association was to
place State legislators in the area
on record as stating that they
would assist the cause,
Community Has Stake
At a dinner-meeting held by the
chapter, State Assemblyman Ed-
mund R, Lupton pointed out that
the mahy vacancies in Kings Park
State Hospital was evidence that
the employees are not compensat-
ed as they should be, He made
another important point: Public
employees constitute @ good per-
centage of the employed people in
the community, and it is essential
to pay proper salaries in order to
keep the community prosperous.
State Senator 5S. Wentworth
Horton told the group that he
recognizes the need of pay in-
crease, and would help whenever
possible, He saw in the meeting #
means whereby members of the
State Legislature may become ac-
ployees.
Negotiations Described
Another guest at the meeting,
which was held in the Henry
Perkins Hotel, Riverhead, L. L,
was F, Henry Galpin, CSEA sal-
ary research consultant. Mr, Gal-
pin explained how salary studies
are being made, and told of nego-
tiations being conducted with the
administration for a pay increase.
One of the items of information
revealed by Mr. Galpin was the
fact that State employee salaries
have continually lagged behind
those in private industry,
Kings Park Report
Each of those present at the
meeting received a report prepared
by the chapter — a report that
might form the basis of a similar

of the Employees Association
which has 58,000 members, 14,000
of whom are in the metropolitan
area, Of the 8,000 that reside on
Long Island, 5,000 live in Suffolk
County.
2. Our employees have found
that with the cost of living in-
creasing as it has they cannot buy
today what they did years ago.
State salaries, in spite of the cost
of living increases have continu
ally lagged more than 10 per cent
behind private industry. The cost
of living has further Increased 2.9
cent since October, 1961, mak-
Ing this situation worse. These
facts make our salary problem our
main interest,
3, Many of our employees must
work at two jobs to meet their
expenses. A good percentage of
our male employees have their
wives working to offset the low
they are receiving. This
often creates an unhealthy family
situation in cases where there are
three or four young children in
the family, As ridiculous as it may
sound some of our employees even
have three jobs.
4. We have 1,900 employees at
Kings Park and approximately
1,040 or about 60 per cent of them
have found It necessary to obtain
® loan from their pension funds,
in addition to loans made from
ta finance and instaliment
ing.
The Work-Week
5. Private industry now works
30, 35, 374 or 40-hour work-
weeks with time and a half for
overtime. Most of our institutional
employees work a 48-hour work-
week without any time and a haif
6. Primarily because our sala-
ries are so low, our hospital has
approximately 140 vacancies in
| Ward Service alone.
This and other vacancies create
a hardship on other employees
and is therapeutically poor for the
patients as they cannot possibly
receive the attention they require
with 90 many items unfilled.
Attendants who are responsi-
ble for the custodial care of the
patients are also required to par-
ticipate in programs set up for the
rehabilitation of the patient. Em-
ployees in this important cate-
gory are in pay grade 2. Pay grade
2 and pay grade 1 have the same
starting salary, the lowest State
salary in the competitive class
positions. As a result we have few
young men working in our hospl-
tal_ today.
To fill some of these vacant
spots and to earn money to meet
their expenses some of our em-
ployees are now voluntarily work-
ing a 72-hour work-week. This
creates a comparatively unhealthy
situation for both the patient and
the employee, as well as a strained
relationship between the employee
and other members of his family.
Not the True Picture
‘The vacancies in our hospital
does not give one the true pioc-
ture for because of the low salary
many employees have a position
at the hospital only until some-
thing better comes along, The
turnover of personnel is @ con-
stant problem for the hospital ad-
ministration and supervisors. The
cost to the State Budget to train
personnel and then have them
jeave is something that should not
be taken lightly.
Other Problems
1, Our tradesmen at the laundry
and other institution shops work
with patients who fill in spots
equal to co-workers in private in-
dustry, This factor makes our
tradesmen’s task more difficult
than those in private industry and
they should be proportionately
compensated for their service. Yet
we find that instead of higher
wages, Our tradesmen are actually
paid much lower salaries,
8. Other items pecullar te in-
stitutions are transportation and
uniform problems that necessitate
an added expense to the employ
ees, Most employees who work at
the hospital must either drive
their own car or ride a taxi daily
to get to work. Many employees
are required te purchase spe-
cialized uniforms which can only
be worn while on duty. These fac~
tors, as well as many oth
magnify our living cost and rapid-
ly diminish the amount that am
employee's salary will purchase.
9. Private industry has unions
and strikes to ee
taining necessary increases,
only hope is that the State Sac
ministrators, its Senate and
Assembly, recognize our need and
Provide legislation to do away
with inequities in salaries and set
up machinery similar to private
tion resolutions our chapter seeks
your support of:
Salary Resolution
Whereas State salaries for many
years have lagged behind those
id in private industry and be-
ind the cost of living, and serious
inequities have developed in the
State salary plan, all aS ee
demanding adjustment and
rection, and
Whereas the salaries of State
employees have not been adjust-
ed since April, 1952, and the ad-
justment then made was inade-
quate, and
Whereas, in addition, the 1952,
adjustment was based upon fig-
ures of October, 1951, which did
not adequately reflect economis
conditions on April 1, 1952, and
Whereas we find that State
salaries lag behind those paid in
private industry by at least 12 per
cent, and
Whereas a wage survey made
by the State Administration as of
October, 1952, found that State
salaries were then nearly 7 per
cent less than those paid in pri-
vate industry, and
Whereas, there has been @
steady Increase in wages and sala-
ries paid in private employment
during the past year therefore
Be It Resolved that the Asso-
ciation urge that present inequi-
ties in State salaries be correced
and that there shall be added te
present gross salaries an adjust-
ment sufficient to bring them te
the level paid in private industry.
Be It Further Resolved that the
levels established after such ad-
justment shall become the base
pay scale,
Additional Increments Based om

Resolved, that the Association
sponsor legislation to insure thas

Any Employee in Schedule C Job
May Be Fired at Will, Court Holds
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21—A U.S,
District Court held that the Presi-
dent of the United States has the
authority, by act of Congress, both
to shift any position into any part
of the Federal service, and to fire
at will an employee whose job is in
Schedule A or Schedule C. Jobs in
these schedules are outside the
competitive service.
The decision, rendered by Judge
Richmond B, Keech, caused con-
sternation particularly among the
135,000 employees whose jobs are
in either of the two schedules, and
disturbed the sense of security of
permanent competitive employees
generally. |
One Doubtful Safeguard
The only possible remaining
safeguard, is the Veteran Prefer-
ence Law, unless the decision
is reversed, but even this is in
doubt, The Department of Justice,
which fired the employee who
brought the reinstatement suit,
not only claims it had full “fire
power” over employees in Schedule
claiming he had competitive job
seeurity rights. The Justice De-
partment said that such civil ser-
vice pretection ceased when the
job was tran*ferréd out of the
competitive service, into Schedule
C, equivalent to the exempt class,
as the incumbent then doesn't
have any classification other than
that of the job he holds.
‘The Commission agreed with
Mr. Roth, and ordered him rein-
stated, but the Justice Department
wouldn't comply, so Mr. Rot!
sued. Judge Keech ruled that the
petitioner lost his competitive
status when his position was taken
out of the competitive service, so
his department, exercising the de-
rivative power of the President,
had power to drop him at will.
The court made remarks that
by inference expressed Jack of
sympathy with such a situation,
but added that “the question of
desirability (of the terms of the
Present law) is not before the
court.”
Employee's Job History
C, but even that veteran prefer-
ence does not apply. In the court
case, however, the veteran prefer- |
ence point was not in issue. The |
petitioner, Leo A. Roth, a former
$10,800 attorney, is not a veteran.
What caused the wave of aston-
ishment was the court's uphole
the dual powers of the President, |
in one t of which he super-
sedes the il Service Com- |
mission, That aspect is the re-
reclassification authority, hitherto |
not found to reside in the chief
executive in any jurisdiction, Fed-
eral, State or local.
Commission Backs Employee
After being dropped, Mr. Roth
appealed to the Commission,

revision of the present classifica-

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1953
This is not the fact, Neither
does The LBADER article support
such a conclusion.
As 1953 Passes
Into History
nto history is passing a year that will go unmourned
an eventful year of anxiety of
civil servants; and one can hope, at year’s end, that 1954
will bring surcease from anguish, fear, and suspicion; will
strengthen the loosened bonds of a merit system which is
one of the cores of a good democracy; and will bring
more of life’s goods to the men and women who do gov-
ernment’s work.
Let us hope, in the face of reasons against hope, that
1954 will bring true peace; and let us pray for all who
are working with sincerity to accomplish this greatest of
human aims. Let us trust that 1954 will see the extension
of freedom, not its additional limitation. Let us desire
that all Americans will be able to hold their heads in
dignity and self-respect, and that this will include the
civil servants who in 1953 suffered so grievously from at-
tack.
Greetings and best season's wishes to those who dili-
gently do the people’s work: the attendants and nurses
and doctors who care for the sick in body and mind; the
workers who sit by typewriters and other business ma-
chines in offices; the painters, the carpenters, the glaziers,
the plumbers, the tinsmiths, the cooks and the bakers; the
engineers who plan out roads and other public projects
the firefighters who guard our homes against disaster;
the accountants and the inspectors; the examiners and
the referees; the physicians and the scientists; the elected
leaders of the people; these and all their colleagues who
make civilized life possible.
And with season’s greetings and good wishes, goes
another hope: that the publics for whom they work will
know better and appreciate more what their servants
accomplish for them; and that new allies will be found
in the never-ending struggle to make government work a
matter of the highest distinction and prestige, freeing it
from the thorns and nettles will have beset it in the year
now passing away.

In the main, the Mahoney Com-

fecting the administration of the
State's classification and compen-

before the Coordination Commis-
sion commenced its study of Civil

not in agreement with ¢ertain of
Commission's recommendations.
These are not so consequential as
to call for any slashing or com-
plete revision of the classification
program.

an entirely erroneous impression

Question, Please
PLEASE EXPLAIN how the U.
S. system of placement of separa-
ted career employees operates.
+|TLG,
Answer — An agency must sur-
vey all positions occupied by in-
definite employees in the bureau |
where the career worker is being
separated to determine if there are
any jobs for which the career em-
ployee is qualified. When such jobs
are found, the career worker must
be placed in one. If this first step
fails, the separated career em-
ployee files a request with the U.
8. Civil Service Commission and is |
referred for placement to any.

THE “SECURITY RISK” questionnaire of the NYC Civil Service

By H. J. BERNARD
BECAUSE public employees, in
general, receive only modest sal-
aries, it is most important that
they should pay only the mini-
mum income tax that the Jaw re-
quires, Some others may like to
take the easier route of letting
the Internal Revenue Bureau do
the figuring for them, The Bu-
reau, while basing its computa-
tions on income figures supplied
by the taxpayer, can not know
what are the taxpayer's deduc-
tions. Therefore the Bureau al-
lows the standard deduction, about
10 per cent, and figures the tax in
two optional ways, to find the one
that requires payment of the
lesser tax.
However, itemization of dedue-
tions by the taxpayer himself,
while requiring @ little study on
his own part, and a little addi-
tional work by him, will normally
y off at a rate far in excess of
| that at which he is paid as a pub-
lic employee.
Question of Limits
The reason why itemization of
the deductions produces this re-
sult is, obviously, itemized reduc-
tions will usually exceed 10 per
cent. This will be plain, as soon as
one considers even the first of the
allowable deductions, These are
|the ones for contributions. One
may see at a glance that he has
a good part of 10 per cent already.
Contributions include not only
those to charities and churches
but other recognized agencies,
The terms of inclusion are
found in the booklet that the
Federal government supplies to all
previous taxpayers and which may
be obtained free from the Inter-
nal Revenue Bureau of the U. 8.
Treasury Department on request,
It is unusual for anybody to
claim more than 10 per cent for
contributions. Few persons ever
give that high a percentage. There
is an upper limit, on such claims,
but public employees wouldn't
likely get anywhere near it, A
oat of less than 10 percent never
will,
100% Deduction Here
Taxes are another item, Pub-
lc employees often require a car,
a particularly New York State

far from where they work, or in
parts of the State where trans-|
Income Tax
ity. While the cost of transportas
tion to and from work, no mat-
ter whether by train, plane, bus,
street car, or personal automobile,
is not deductible, the fact that
one owns a car allows one to
deduct from otherwise taxable
income the cost of the license
plates and the gasoline tax. Both
of these are deductible as taxes,
Also, if there's a sales tax, that’s
deductible, but normally doesn’t
run more than $25 a person. For
an individual alone it might be,
$25, while for a man and wife,
on one spouse's return for both,
twice as much, and a family of
three, $75, provided the third
member is not an infant. Mort~
gage interest on a home, whether
one occupies the home, or rents it
to another, or shares occupancy
with a tenant, is 100 per cent de-
ductible. The claim should be
made on Page 3 of Form 1040,
under the interest box. If
one has a tenant, and puts mort-
gage interest and house taxes in
the separate report, on Page 3 of
Form 1040, instead of on Page 2
where the report appears, on in-
come from real estate, some one
may get the idea that the tenancy
fraction should be applied, and
only that lesser amount of deduc-
tion allowed for taxes on the
property and interest on the
mortgage, instead of the full 100
per cent,
Use Form 1040
In any event, U. S. Form 1040
serves all purposes; it applies
whether the individual return is
made by one spouse alone, se-
parately, or jointly by husband
and wife; it applies no matter
what one's income is; and it per-
mits itemized deductions, which
account for the many millions of
dollars the U. 5. government must
refund each year,
Since public employees are sub-
ject to withholding from salary by
the employer, for the benefit of
the U. S, Government, many of
them, if not most, will find that,

How to Use
Leave Chart
‘This “U. S. Employee Leave-
Saving Chart,” the simplest and
most practical yet devised, en-
ables government employees to
keep a complete record of their
annual, sick and other leave. ...
«.Developed through original re-
wearch with the assistance of lead-
ing government leave authorities,
the chart conforms to the new
leave laws.
HOW TO USE IT
Use the letter “A” for annual
leave and the letter “S” for sick)
leave. For example, if you take/
three hours’ annual leave, you
woald record in the space for that
day, “3-A". Black line indicates
and of pay period.
Under Public Law 102, dated
July 2, 1953, which amended the
Annual and Sick Leave Act of
1951, the leave year was changed |
te the beginning of the first full
pay period in the calendar year.
Therefore, on January 2, 1952,
anrfual leave accrual is reduced to
30 days or 240 hours, or, to the’
annual leave ceiling established
by you on December 20, 1952,
whichever is greater.
LEAVE CATEGORIES
3 years’ service and under — 13
days (4 hours per pay period; 3
te 15 years’ service — 20 days (6
hours per pay period); 15 years
and over — 26 days (8 hours per
pay period).
Most employees are in Category
© (3 to 15 years’ service) and ae-|
them, an additional 4 hours ae-
erual will be given on the last full
pay period in the calendar year.
If you have more than the new
minimum leave accrual, you will)
be wise io note your leave ceiling
fm the space marked, “Ceiling.”
During 1954, leave ceilings will
be reduced according to instruc- |
tions from the personnel office of |
your agency.
LEAVE REGULATIONS
The minimum charge for either
annual or sick leave is an hour
and additional charges are made
im multiples of an hour each. |
Agency heads have full authority, |
however, to excuse employees who
are unavoidably absent for tess
than an hour, |
Use of sick leave in excess of |
three work days must be supported |
by medical certificate, or any
other evidence acceptable to an!
agency.
Employees must make requests
fm advance to take sick leave for
medical, dental or optical exami-
nations.

SAYS CHAIRMAN YOUNG
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 — The
U_ 8S. Civil Service Commission,
through Chairman Philip Young,
countered the contention of critics
that the Commission has “permit-
ted political inroads ‘into the
merit system.”
“We stand firmly together for
protecting and strengthening the
merit system,” Mr. Young said for
himself and his two fellow-Com-
missioners.
Chairman Young, at « lunch-
eon address before the Civil Ser-
vice Assembly, reiterated that the
Eisenhower Administration's ob-
jectives are to keep the merit
system separate from confiden-
tial and policy-making jobs, and
to effect economies in the Gov-
ernment payroll
