made a unique comparison of the
gains in recent years by public
and private employees. The facts
showed, he pointed out, that the
public has many misconceptions
of the advantages enjoyed by pub-
lic employees, and that there is
much to be done before the public
servant is a satisfied employee.

He pointed out that pay levels
must be in accordance with the
times, and cited the “escalator”
pay plan in effect in his own
county of Westchester, through
which the scale of pay is tied
together with the cost-of-living
index, He urged all local juris-
dictions to provide unemployment
insurance for employees. He called
for proper job classification and
the filling of positions by quali-
fied employees. A variety of pro-
tections must be provided today,
he said, the chief of these being
security. He discussed the fact
that the work-week in public ser-
vice, particularly for the pro-
tective forces of the community,
lags behind. And he criticized the
State Retirement System as fail-
ing to provide the necessary pro-
tections which employees need,
(Mr. Stearns’ address is reprinted
elsewhere in this issue.)

Mr, Lehman cited attempts to
undermine the merit system. He
told of a political leader who tried
to place a veterinarian into a
coroner’s post, and of another
county leader who attempted to
place a slot machine operator as
an assistant attorney general. The
LEADER’S editor argued that this
sort of politics is dangerous not
only to the merit system, but to
democracy itself since such ap-
pointees serve not the people but
those who placed them in power.

Example from Japan

He gave a graphic illustration
of this by pointing out how the
merit system has been subverted
in Japan. There, he pointed out,
graduates of Tokyo Imperial Uni-
versity law courses hold 82 per
cent of the important public Jobs,
constituting a self-perpetuating
bureaucracy, No one not a mem-
ber of the “circle” can rise on
the basis of merit. These men re-
tire early, Mr. Lehman said, to
allow youngsters of the Imperial
University clique to come in, But

upon retirement. their depart-
ments exert intense pressure on
private interests to give the re-
tired men good jobs, Of course,
for years before their retirement,
these bureaucrats are really work-
ing for the private interests, not
for the people as a whole, said
Mr, Lehman,

“Such activity is against the
best interests of the people,” he
added,” “and its eflects are the
same, whether the job is con-
trolled by a local county boss or
by one of the huge financial fam-
ilies of Japan. It is in this sense,
that the merit system is a pro-
tection for democratic goyern-
ment,

out fear of reprisal, “Where such
organization exists, it has not
only improved the condition of
the workers but has made for
more efficient public service.”

He pointed out how relations be-
tween employees and administra.
tion had matured in the State
of New York, and urged that
similar consultative methods would
improve government on the local
level.

Public Relations

He then discussed the subject
of public relations, and told how
they can be used to keep the
community informed of employee
needs, how they can operate to
rally local forces to the side of
public workers, and to be a tool
for educating public officials and
achieving gains for public workers.

Another Word To Members

BOUT a year ago, just before the annual meeting, I

wrote in my column “A Word To Members”, to ve-
mind them that they are all members of the employees
team and that failure or success in their job relations will
depend largely on how well they play their positions on
their big team, particularly in the big series with the
“Dewey team.”

Nothing is plainer than the fact that good active play-
ers are the sine qua non of any good organization. The
best possible organization is achieved when every member
is an active partner in the work of the Association.

It has been my privilege and duty to speak for you
on many matters vital to you and to all other public
employe I know from experience that any power or
influence my words may have comes chiefly from your
active support, without which nothing much
achieved.

Participation Is a Requisite

On the radio, as I write, a self-made man is telling how
he made his life significant, at least to himself. He said
the secret is that he tries to understand the things nearest
him and that the only road to understanding is to take
some part or position in respect to each, either for or
against. Neutrality and indifference are the hallmarks
of little minds and little souls, Experience is the best
teacher and experience as an active member of the As-
sociation in Chapter, Conference or Committee work is a
prerequisite to any f<ir appreciation of the work of your
Association,

That each member counts is the most significant fact
in the Association: that he counts more and more each
year is the highest objective of the Association, in my
opinion, That is why I am for all the democracy there
is or can be in the Association. That is why I wish to
repeat what I wrote a year ago:

“The members control the organization. They delegate
certain rights and powers to their delegates at the annual
or any special meeting of the Association. The members
elect the officers and board of -directors to carry out their
wishes and they confer on this board of directors and on
its alter ego, the executive committees, certain independ-
ent powers and duties, but the ultimate control of the
Association rests with the membe

“The Constitution and By-Laws, which set forth both
the powers of members and the delegated duties of the
officers, boards and committees, insure to the members
complete control of the organization.

Paying Dues Is Not End of It

“Tt is the duty of every member to exercise the full
rights and duties of membership. He should vote for his
choice for officers and delegates. He should be active in
his local chapter, He should offer resolutions on matters
of concern to himself and his fellow employ He should
keep himself informed of what the Association i
by reading regularly “Merit” and the Civil
LEADER,

“Jo many members think their duty ends with paying
the membership dues. It is not true that you buy or sub-
scribe to certain fixed services by paying a membership
fee. What is true is that by membership you unite with
40,000 public employees to improve working conditions,
to protect and to improve the Civil Service plan, and to
make the service of the State and local government to
the citizen more intelligent and more rewarding,

fetive Support by Members Essential

“The great potential and largely unused strength of
the Association rests in you as a partner in your Civil
Service Employees Associations. To make you in fact a
full partner over 100 local and department chapters of
the Association haye been formed and are functioning.
There is a job for every member. You can contribute your
best thought and effort to the common good and progress
of you and your fellow workers; the great company of
public employees who are the Civil Service
Association.

staff are merely your hired men. To be effective your

commenting on this resolution,

Dr. Kenneth Slaght, Acting Di-
rector, oMciated at the presenta-
tion of gifts to both the bride and

Board Ready

Special to The LEADER
ALBANY, Sept. 27.—The Classi-~
fication Board has surveyed all
State tuberculosis hospitals, in-
cluding the three that the State
recently took over from county
government, Positions to be re-
classified include those in the
older tuberculosis hospitals in the
Department of Health.

Chairman J. Earl Kelly said
that the report on this project
is ready to be submitted for Board
action.

‘The LEADER learned that some
changes in classification in the
TB hospitals will be recommended
by the Classification Board.
Whether these changes would be
effectuated will depend on whether
the Budget Director and the Civil
Service Commission approve.
Action Soon on Hospital Appeals

‘The Board has completed the
hearing of appeals from classifica~
tions in the three tuberculosis
hospitals that the State took over
recently—the Broadacres Sani-
torium in Utica, the Onondaga
Sanitorium in Syracuse and the
J, Adam Memorial Hospital,
Perrysburg. These were appeals
by individual employees and were
not group appeals,

It is known that recommenda-
tions will be made by the Board
to grant some of the 57 appeals
taken in. Adams, six in Broad-
acres and four in Onondaga,

Education Job Survey

The Board has a heavy work
load under way. It is in the midst
of a survey of all the positions
in the Education Department, and
has just completed a study of
written job descriptions of these
Positions. Soon it will interview
employees holding the positions
in that department and finally
wlil make its recommendations to
the Budget Director,

Another project under way is a
study of the jobs in the Depart-

ment of Agricwliwe aud Marketa.

to Report

On Classifications

This follows the
a similar survey in the Banking
Department, excepting jobs of
field employees. The Banking de-
partment project is ready for
Board action, affecting office and
clerical jobs.

The Classification Board has
been busy classifying jobs of the
employees of the Long Island
State Park Commission, most of
which were never classified before.
Recently Mr. Kelly personally held
interviews at Jones Beach State
Park. At that time, Laurence J.
Hollister, Field Representative of
The Civil Service Employees Asso-
ciation, was present on behalf of
the employees. The present indi-
cation is that if the proposed
classification recommendations of
the Board are adopted, most of
the positions will be on a perma-
nent basis. In general, the posi-
tions have heretofore been treated
as seasonal.

Armory Problem

A problem before the Classifica-
tion Board is whether the State
should classify the jobs of the
armory employees through the
Civil Service Commission, The
question of jurisdiction arises.
However, whether the classifica-
tion will be effectuated by the
State Commission's Classification |
Board or through the Division of
Military and Naval Affairs, it is
expected that Mr, Kelly's Board
will do the survey nevertheless,

The Board has recently com-
pleted the classification of the Di-
vision of Military and Naval Af-
fairs, exclusively of the armories,
and the final recommendations
have been sent to Budget Director
John E. Burton. His action there-
on_is being awaited.

Association Sets
Example of Zeal

HE expert preparation for and the resounding agenda

of the Civil Service Employees Association for its 38th
annual meeting in Albany on October 5 and 6 set a
splendid example of how a public employee group should
function. The eminence of its chief guest speakers,
Arthur S. Flemming, ex-U. S. Civil Service Commissioner,
and Herbert ©. Gerlach, Westchester County Executive,
attests to the esteem in which the Association of State
and county employees is held by leaders in Civil Service.

The Association has achieved notable gains for em-
ployees. As one stands impressed at the competence and
zeal of its leaders, and the effective support they and the
Associaton projects get from the members, one cannot
fail to correlate effect and cause and say, No wonder!

Your Pre-election Ammunition

. The score card of rising costs published in last week’s
issue of The LEADER was so well received that we have
decided to publish it each week before election. The idea
is to keep it handy for discussions with candidates, to see
how they feel about the living-cost problem of Civil Ser-
vice employees—and after election be sure that these
candidates keep their word,

New Service Rating Plan
To Be Extended by State

ALBANY, Sept, 27—The State
Civil Service Commission has ap-
proved a report by the State Per-
sonnel Council recommending that
new service rating procedures as
tried out in three State depart-
ments be continued,

In adopting the recommenda-
itons, the Commission indicated
that the program will be expand-
ed in the coming year to include
several new departments.

The Commission acted on the

report at its September meeting.
The report was the work of a
special sub-committee, appointed
by the Council,

Under the new plan, employees
are rated under five grades: un-
satisfactory, fair, good, very good
and outstanding. The rating is
done on specifications drawn up
for the particular job instead of
on a general basis as under the
former system.

Approyal by the Commission of

the Personnel Council report and
the continuation of the use of the
new rating system may mean ex-
tension of the plan to cover all
State employees after the expand-
ed 1949 “tryout period.”

Service ratings are important to
State employees as annual incre~
ments in salary are withheld if an
employee is rated unsatisfactory.
In addition, the ratings are given
weight in State promotion exam-
inations,

WHAT EMPLOYEE
SHOULD KNOW

Does Ignorance of Procedure Excuse an Employg
By THEODORE BECKER

IGNORANCE of the law is no}

excuse for non-compliance by
the public but ignorance of estab-
lished departmental procedures
and practices is an excuse for
non-compliance by a public em-
ployee. This is the conclusion
which may be drawn from a re-
cent ruling of the Appellate Divi-
sion of the Supreme Court in a
case involving a State employee.

This employee was demoted to
a lower grade position after being
found guilty of charges and speci-
fications after a hearing to which
he was entitled as a war veteran.
By law the veteran was also en-
titled to and did take an appeal
based on the record of the hear-
ing which, he contended, did not
sustain the charges—the burden
of proving incompetency or mis-
conduct at the hearing being upon
the person making the allegations,

Of the four charges, the first
three allege, in effect, that the
veteran failed to follow “pres-
cribed procedure,” “ accepted
practice” and “office rules and
regulations.” The fourth charge
was that he failed to advise su-
periors of the pendency and pro-
gress of a compensation claim
based on his injury in the course
of his employment. (His em-
ployer, The State Insusance Fund,
was also the insurance carrier
which would have to pay any
award made in the compensation
case),

No Memorandum, No Knowledge

As to the first three charges, the
Court felt that the employee's
guilt or innocence would depend
upon proof that he had been
made aware of a certain memor-
andum issued by the home office
indicating a change in procedure
in the method of handling com-
pensation claims.

The Court reviewed the record
on this issue and concluded that
it failed to sustain a finding that
knowledge of the change of pro-
cedure was brought home to the
employee, who denied that he
ever received a copy of the mem-

orandum,. No witness testificg
itively that the employee hag
ceived a copy of the meiny,

the greatly improved typographic
appearance of The LEADER. Ii

What Goes on Here!
Editor, The LEADER:

Much hue and cry have been
taised about neglected State in-
stitutional employees, understaffed
State hospitals, the need for better
care of state mental patients, and
pleas for an enlightened public
more aware of the problems of
mental illnesses.

With this general situation, I
am earnestly in agreement. Yet,
it is good for the system to con-
sider unpleasant factors in a dis-
cussion of the matter, For ex-
ample, recently, I observed the
following:

1. Three female institutional
employees washing and cleaning
the automobile of a staff doctor
on a mid-week visiting day. I know
it was not their off-day because
I have seen them in the visitors
coom when their services were re-
quired. If there were not enough
visitors to occupy their time, the
attendants surely could have been
used to good advantage in caring
for patients.

2. A burly and surly female
nurse man-handling a woman
patient upon directing the patient
to enter a ward and without giv-
ing her a chance first to comply.
Whether or not the patient is of
the active type, she should haye
been given opportunity to enter
on her own before being coaxed,
It was heart-rending to see her
0 abused without any reason for

3. Several young male doctors
wholly indifferent to the cases be-
ing discussed with families of
patients: It seems these youngs'
have an air of omnipotence and

utter unconcern for the respud
bilities with which they
charged. It seems rather they
using hospital appointments mel
ly to acquire experience with
any interest in the humanita
aspects.

If there is one important n4
in State institutions, it is for
professional pride in duty, Thq
appears to be much indiffered
among doctors, nurses and al(ej
ants that their patients are 9
human beings who need und
standing and consideration, if th
are to improve. I fully realiz:
excited and uncontrollable patiti
can become. Still, I have off
noticed how patients are treat
like rough cargo without

but do not become conditioned

Employees of ‘the State Ensur-

formation of a separate chapter.
A petition to that effect is before
the State executive committee.
There was a difference of opinion
on immediate action and a voice
vote decided that the chapter
should request fhe State executive
committee to defer approval,
Pending Turther study. ‘The sense
was ‘that if ‘the Insurance Fund
members finally adhere to ‘their
Present position that the request
should ‘be approved. The question
was whether the employees of

ing a separate chapter.

government is the most vital and

motion of public workers on the)
basis of merit and fitness.”
Association Led The Way
Pointing out that the Associa-
‘tion ‘has led the way in preaching
and practicing the creed that civil

essential ‘business im American

for proper respect and reward for
public workers on the grounds
they must ‘be ‘highly efficient and
that the peoples’ most important
imterests suffer when the supply
of efficient ay ‘personnel
|is depleted by reason of inade-|

quacy of pry scales or poor work-
dmg conditions.”

What to Expect

tion to be developed at the an-
nual meeting, Mr. McDonough
said it seemed certain that dele-
fates will call for:

“(1) A thorough revitalization
of the functioning of civil service
commissions on all levels.

“(2) A -writing into law of a
‘Progressive public employee Idbor
Telations measure providmg ‘for
employer-employee committees in
ef departments, institutions and,
divisions of government.

“(3) "The inclusion of present
temporary salary adjustments im
basic scales and a cost of living
emergency adjustment plan hitch-
ed to the vost of living index along
the limes of the ‘Westchester,

County plan.

“(4) A liberalization of the Re-
tirement System with emphasis on
the Association's 55-year plan.
“(5) Extension of ‘the competi-
tive class to many thousands now
mot covered.

“(6) Recognition of a maximuns
40-hour week im all services where
longer hours now prevail with pay,

of a blueprint for ac-| said

at time and one~half fer overtime,
“() A plan to provide for non-

charging of meals not taken in
‘state institutions,

“(B) Civil Service status, rights
and privileges and adequate sal-
ary adjustments for Armory em-
Bloyees.

“@®) Civil service status, rights |

scales for employees of State Col-
leges, ‘Schools and Authorities and|
Commissions.

““(@0) Demand for ridding pub- + C
lic service of all communistic and
subversive elements and for |
Plete loyalty within each govern-
ament unit.”

Sound Principles Wanted

Pointing out that civil service
systems suffered seriously under |
war conditions, Mr. McDonough
id “the war has been over for
three years. It is time to correct
all shortcomings.”

Predicting that delegates to the
annual meeting will demand a re-
turn to the sound principles em. |

bodied in the Constitution and ||
basic laws relating to public per- | ©

sonnel administration and cap-|
able adherence to such laws, Mr.
McDonough added:

“Tt is clear that the first hand
information relating to what is |
best for the public service on the |
art of Association delegates and |
amembers, together with their in- lk
tense loyalty to citizen interests,
will impress the leaders of the

State, County, City, Town, Village | ©

and each district government in
‘New York and will result in a ren-
aissance in eos AE aie service.”

CIVIL

SERVICE LEADER

28,1948

Officers Emphasize
Significance of
Meeting of Assn.

ALBANY, Sept. 27.—Behind the
preparations for the 28th annual
meeting of The Civil Service Em-
ployees Association is & significant
story.

It's the story of an association,
organized in 1910 that is recog-
nized today by Governors,- mem-
bers of the Legislature and county

and municipal gfficials as a real
representative of public em-
ploye

When between 400 and 500 dele-
gates assemble for the 38th con-
vention, it will be the largest
meeting of representatives of pub-
le employees in New York State
history,

The decisions of the convention
will be carried to subdivisions of
the State and to every operating
department of the State govern-
ment as the representative atti-
tude of 46,000 public employees
who with their families number at
Jeast 160,000 citizens of this State.

The Association is an independ-
ent organization. In the words of

Frank L. Tolman, president of
ciation, "The founders of

the Association believed firmly
that public employees like employ-
ees in private industry needed
vigorous representation as an ors
ganized group before the officials
of government and with the peo-
ple. They believed that the char-
acter of civil government as com-

pared with private business called
for direct, independent organiza-
tion of State employees with rep-
resentatives chosen from among
employees themselves, rather than
to be a part of industrial unions
or other organized workers having
allegiance and paying dues to
leaders far distant from their em-
ployer—the State of New York.”

Time Is Ripe for Gains

According to Association offi-
cers, the problems facing the
38th annual meeting are many,
but “the time is propitious for
substantial gains in employment

p gains will be registered
in the framework of the purpose
and policy of the Association as
outlined in Article II of the Asso-
ciation Constitution, which reads:

“This Association is organized
to uphold and extend the principle
of merit and fitness in public em-
ployment, to maintain and pro-
mote efficiency in public service
and to advance the interests of
all civil service employees. It is
dedicated to the principle that
Government is the servant and
not the master of the people, that
its objectives are to be attained
by truly democratic methods, and,
with the conviction that the peo-
ple are entitled to uninterrupted
governmental service, it renounces
the use of the strike by public
employees.”

Membership Campaign

Sets 100 Per

ALBANY, Sept. 27.—A__ two-
pronged membership campaign by
The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation will be launched next
week at its 38th annual meeting
here to obtain:

One hundred per cent organiza-
tion of 60,000 State employees of
whom over 40,000 are now mem-
bers of the Association.

ty thousand members from
county and municipal subdivisions
of the State government,

Association officials set the
membership goals for the fall
drive in a special statement to
The LEADER this wee The
drive will be under the direction
of Joseph D. Lochner, executive
ecretary of the Association, as-

ed by staff! members and mem-
bership committees throughout
the State.

Special membership campaign
liverature has been prepared and
placed in the hands of some 135
association chapters.

The “campaign kickoff” will
come at a meeting of all delegates
and representatives to the 38th
annual convention from 4 to 6
PM,, October 6, in the Crystal
Ballroom of the DeWitt Clinton
Hotel.

Strong Argument to Prospects

At this meeting, special appeals
to State, county’ and municipal
employees will be prepared in
which past accomplishments of the
Association will be stressed and
the new goals of the Association
1949 program emphasized.

The drive, which is to strengthen

Cent Goal

the Association throughout the
State, will be aided by an open
letter to civil employees, written
by Dr. Frank L, Tolman, Associa-
tion president.

This letter
placed in the hands of public em-
ployees not already in the Asso-
ciation. It will stress that “alone
you cannot solve serious employ-
ment problems, but united with
your fellow employees in a pro-
gressive, intelligent, honest As:
ciation you can do much to pro:
mote your welfare and happines:

Benefits Listed to Lochner

According to Mr, Lochner, the
drive will emphasize the benefits
State or employees of subdivisions
of the State government receive as
members of the Association.

He lists these bentefits as includ-
in,

‘Bulletins on legislation and
other matters of importanc

“Expert legal and legislative
service and advice.

“Personal service of field repre-
sentatives,

“Protection and Improvement of
Retirement System, the Civil Sery-
ice Law, and applicable Civil Serv-
ice Rules,

“Representation in any just
controversy about your rights and
duties,

“Opportunity to buy group in-
surance at minimum rates,

“Service of an efficient head-
quarters staff and experienced offi-
cers of the Association.

Grand Union Company
Offers Furniture

Unusual furniture buying op-
Portunities are presented by Grand
Union Furniture Co., located at
691 Broadway, NYC, This com-
pany operates several retail out-
fits in addition to an extensive
wholesale business in furniture
and has been able to cut distribu-
tion costs to such an extent
that most items sell for close to
the wholesale price. Occasionally
some item which is over-produced
at the factory becomes available
at less than the ordinary whole-
sale costs and such items are of-
fered as special features,

In eight spacious floors of fur-
niture, Grand Union stocks every-
thing for the home. The items
cover a wide range from luxur-
ious living room suites to bed-
dings and linens, There are model
rooms completely furnished, Some
are ultra-modern, others are done
in period style, All of them are
in the best of taste with the deco-
rator touch,

Civil Service employees are of-
fered a rare opportunity. For-
merly Grand Union Furniture

Probation Officer
On NYC List of 35
October Exams

The NYC Civil Service Com-
mission will advertise two exam-
inations for Probation Officers in
its October series, unless Budget
Director Thomas J. Patterson
gives word that the pay will be
increased shortly, If he does, the
Commission will wait until the
higher pay is official, so that it
can be included in the examina-
tion notice as an extra induce-
ment in recruitment,

The Commission decided that,
since there are provisionals in the
job, the examination must be held
as soon as possible. The judges of
the Domestic Relations Special
Sessions and Magistrates’ courts
would like to haye the test post-
poned until the $2,710 salary is
raised, even if more than a short
delay results, but the Commission
does not see eye to eye with them
on this aspect,

Special to The LEADER
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept, 27.—
The biennial convention of the
National Federation of Federal
Employees passed resolutions call-
ing for the further strengthening
of the merit system in the Fed-
eral service and extension of that
system to include all positions ex-

*| cept those of a high policy-making

nature.

The convention again decried
the practice of doling out Collec-
torships of Customs and Internal
Revenue on a partisan political
basis.

Other resolutions urged repeal
of the State-quota provision of
the Civil Service law as being con-
trary to the merit system. Op-
Position was expressed to inclu-
sion of that provision as part of
the Federal government's dismis-
sal policy.

Better Personnei Management
Essential to better personnel
management, the convention de-
clared, is setting up of a central
personnel agency with the definite
responsibility of formulating and
supervising all Federal personnel
policies. Expansion of the func-
tions of the U. S, Civil Service
Commission to include these duties
was asked.

The NFFE recommended that
in each Federal department and
agency there should be a statu-
tory position of Personnel Direc-
tor with rank and prestige equal
to that of a second ranking offi-
cial, with full authority to deal
with all personnel problems with-
in the agency.

As other steps in better admin-
istration, the convention urged
adoption of a thoroughgoing pro-
gram of job instruction and train-
ing, and more adequate and uni-
form recognition to employees for
constructive suggestions leading
toward service improvements.
By unanimous action the dele-
gates urged locals to arouse in-
dividual responsibility among all
Federal employees for fullest com-
Pliance with both the spirit and
letter of the leave regulations.
The convention declared that
leave rights of all Federal employ-
ees are being jeopardized by a
few abuses.

Education of Public Needed
Emphasizing the many essen-
tial services rendered to the gov-
ernment and people of the United
States by Federal employees, the
convention acted to broaden and
intensify its program of public
education on this subject,

Much attention was given by

Spocial to The LEADER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.— In
the continental. United States a
majority of Federal agencies re-
ported increases in the number of
employees.

‘The largest increases were in the
Post Office Department, Depart-
ment of the Navy, Department of
the Army, Department of the Air
Force, Veterans Administration,
and Department of Agriculture.
The Department of the Treasury
and the War Assets Administra-
tion reported sizable decreases.

Changes in the number of civil-
ian employees outside the country
were small.

There were 407,650 women em-
ployed full-time in continental
United States at the end of July.
This was an increase of 539, all
in the Washington area.

500 More Patrolmen in Oct.
To Be All for This Year

Police Commissioner Arthur W.
Wallander hopes to_be able to
appoint a minimum of 500 Patrol-
men (P.D.) during October, prob-
ably in one operation.

There is provision in the bud-
get for 1,400 new Patrolmen. In
July 500 were appointed. Next
month the 500 additional ones
are expected to be appointed.
The remaining 400 would most
likely be deferred until after the

The prospect of promotions to
Police Lieutenant from the list
whioh is to be published by Oct.
15 increased when it was learned
that Commissioner Wallander
hopes to be able to fill vacancies
in this title. If he gets permis-
sion, there will be 25 vacancies in
the Sergeant title, because of the
promotion of that many Sergeants
to Lieutenant, and it is expected
that Commissioner Wallander will

Replying to a letter from the
Civil Service Reform Association,
jin which it was suggested that the
| Civil Service Commission reduce
the number of provisionals more
aggressively and make a stricter
| scrutiny of temporary appointees,
President Jos¢éph A. McNamara of
the Commission wrote that he
could take “justifiable pride in the
extraordinary activities of this
Commission curing the past two
years.”

In the letter Commissioner Mc-
Namara revealed that a stuay will
be made of non-competitive posi-
tions in the Department of Hos-
pitals. |

MecNaraara's Letter

President McNamara‘s reply fol-
Jows in part:

no way subject to any so-called
political influence whatsoever.
Thus the general implication and
tenor of your letter to the effect
that our supervision and admin-

Says Scrutiny Is Practical

“We do scrutinize the qualifica~
tions of those nominated for tem-
porary appointment to make sure
that they meet certain minimum
requirements. Your staterrent that
this is handled perfunctorily is
incorrect. During the war and due
to the manpower shortage the
Commission, of which Mr, Marsh
was then President, authorized
the waiver of requirements by the
Director of Examinations in his
discretion in proper cases, pro-
vided that no statutory require-
ment was waived and provided
further that the temporary in-
cumbent was, in the opinion of
the Director, competent to per-
form temporarily the duties of the
position for which he was nom-
inated. Inasmuch as this man-
power shortage Still exists due to
economic and labor conditions, we
have been compelled to continue
this policy,

“We have expedited examina-
tions for positions now held by
provisionals, When I first came to
the Commission in 1946 there was
a backlog of about 20,000 provis-
jonals and little or no effort had
been made by the previous ad-
ministration to plan an appropri-
ate program of examinations in
order to supplant these provision-

als. After I became Commissioner,
a plan of examinations was adop-
ted and the program vigorously
pursued, so much so that by the
end of the year of 1948 we will have
conducted far more examinations
during that year than in any pr
vious year in the history of this |
Commission, and will have made}
great, strides in reducing the num-
ber of provisionals serving — a
number which was inherited by us
when we came into office,
Not Too Many Exempt

“I do not agree with you that
there is a long list of Exempt and |
Non-competitive Class positions
in the City service, and that the
number of positions now excepted
from competi'ion is far too large.
There are approximately 450 posi.
tions in the Exempt Class, which
number represents approximately
3/10 of 1% of the total number
of employees in the classified ser-
vice. Surely this compares more
than favorably with the record of
any other Commission of compar-
able size in this country and can|
hardly be characterized as far too |
large. |

“With respect to the Non-com-
petitive Class, there are approxim-
ately 18,000 employees in this
class, of whom 15,000 are in the
Hospital Reclassification Hospital
Department chiefly in the titles of
Helper and Nurse and about 1,500
in the Board of Education in part-

The opening lecture of a one-
year accelerated course in business
administration will be held this
evening (Tuesday), at 6:15 at the
Delehanty Business School, 115
East 15th Street, NYC,

In introducing this course, which

is registered with the New York
State Department of Education,
the school is inviting everybody
interested to attend as a guest
without charge or obligation.
Those present, in addition to
listening to interesting talks on
practical business principles by
experienced business men on the
faculty, will also have the oppor-
tunity to inspect the new and
enlarged facilities of the school
which was located for nearly 20
years at 120 West 42 Street be-
fore its recent removal to the
main building at the 15th Street
address.

The business administration
course will include complete cov-
erage of all of the fundamentals
of successful modern business op-
erations such as business organi-
zation and management, princi-
ples of accounting, advertising,
salesmanship, business law and
business correspondence. .

Delehanty Explains Advantages

In announcing the opening class
M. J. Delehanty, director of the
school, said:

“Many young people, and par-
ticularly veterans, who are am-
bitious to attain executive stand-
ing as owners or managers of
successful business will find this
course ideal for their purpose.
Each subject will be presented in
a concise, easy to understand form
that will give the student a
thorough knowledge of basic prin-
ciples while eliminating all ex-
traneous details,

“The practical business men on
our faculty have been selected not
only for their educational and

eee (TaN

experience backgrounds but also
for their demonstrated ability to

impart their knowledge to others.
All Delehanty business courses are |
approved for veterans and those
attending our day sessions are
also entitled to apply for full sub-
sistence allowances.”

Opportunities for Stenos |
The Delehanty Business School
has enjoyed success for many
years in teaching secretarial train-
ing, stenography, _ typewriting,
comptometer operation and book-
keeping. Special classes are also
forming now in speed dictation
and transcription in preparation
for NYC and State civil service |
examinations, There are more
than 2,000 existing vacancies in
NYC now for stenograhers and
typists with starting salaries of
$35 to $40 a week and automatic |
annual increases up to $50 at the
end of five years service, There

tions of eligibles on the published
list, to serve as Acting Sergeant,
There is ample precedent for pro«
moting Patrolmen to Acting Ser-
geant, as 83 were so promoted
several months ago. If the same
practice is followed, it is expected
that the eligibles will be ap-
pace, from the list as published,
ut whether all the promotions
will stick will depend on the out-
come of a second lawsuit involving
the answers to the examination,

Question of Answers

In the first lawsuit, the Patrol-
man eligibles who protested mul~
tiple official key answers, when
the examination paper asked for
the best answer only, won in the
Court of Appeals on the ground
that there could be only one best
answer when the examination
paper itself imposes that re
quirement. The Commission an-
swered the key but not to the
satisfaction of the petitioners in
the first proceeding.

The Police Lieutenant list is
being held up because of 15 claims
for service awards. It is ex-
pected to be published toward
the end of next week,

Civilian Promotion

Commissioner Wallander is also
trying to make some civilian p.
motions, Already he has requested
Budget Director Thomas J. Pat=
terson to issue a budget certifi-
cation for the promotion of 15
Clerks, Grade 2, to Grade 3. In
the last batch of such promotions,
9 eligibles benefited at once. The
present list, promulgated on Aug-
ust 17, 1948, contains 48 names,
and it is expected that during the
four-year life of the list all 48
eligibles will be promoted.

is hardly the time to impede the

ports were faultless over the en-
tire period.

Reversed Only Twice

“Tf someone is to be a super-
visor, the question arises, ‘How
much does he know?'” declared
Judge Mullen.
seven years he was Special
to the Superintendent of
Banks and liquidated six different
banks in Manhattan, In that way
he got the most intimate and in-
structive course on how to handle
money, because it was lack of
knowledge of how to handle mon-
ey that caused the banks to fail.
This tremendous , insight was
gained in a course that could not
be obtained elsewhere.
On the bench he has presided
over a great number of impor-
tant and complicated cases. Of
the many hundreds of decisions
he has made on trials that have
been held before him, he has been
reversed only twice—once by the
Appellate Division and once by
the Court of Appeals.
His public offices also include
his services as Assistant District

| Attorney under Joab H. Banton,

and as Assistant Counsel to the
Public Service Commission. His
five years in the County Clerk's
Office was to put him in touch
with procedure problems, serving
under County Clerk William H.
Collins.
He was asked if he didn’t hope
to see a good deal more of his
former boss in the future,

“I feel quite confident that T

| Despite the lack of relationship
between membership’ in organiza-
‘tions called! subversive and fitness
of character, the Commission did
elicit information from eligibles
relating to the manner in which

il | they became members of such: or-

ganizations and the extent of
‘their participation, Ib was found
generally that the: membership re-
sulted from solicitation by friends
and! without any careful investi-
gation by the joiners of the na-
ture of the organization, and also
that participation in the affairs
of the organizations had been
passive or negligible. In the few
instances of admitted active par-
ticipation, the general rule was
applied, nevertheless, that the
question is not pertinent to char-
acter in this instance.

FIRE OFFICER HOURS DROP NOV.

112 New Lieutenants Then, Higher Rank Promotions to Be Made on Jan, |

By H. J, BERNARD

‘The hotis of Officers of the
NYC Fire Department will be re-
duced as of November 1, when
the promotion of 112 Firemen to
Lieutenant, is made, and when 112
eligibles will be appointed as Fire-
men to replace the promotees,

Fire Commissioner Frank J.
Quayle today announced the of-
ficial date for the promotions in
an exclusive interview wita ‘The
‘LEADER. He also announced that
promotions in higher ranks will
be made as of January 1 next, He
did not indicate how many of
these higher rank
would be made.

Higher Rank Promotions

The LEADER obtained’ from
other sources an estimate of what
these promotions would be:

Qne promotion to Deputy Chief,

Five to seven promotions to
Battalion Chief.

25 promotions to Captain,

25 more promotions to Lieuten-
ant would be included.

promotions |

‘These total 56 minimum,

Concerning the higher rank pro-
motions, Commissioner Quayle
did say however, that on January
1 only those promotions to fill
vacancies occurring after Janu-
ary 1 would be made, and that the
present vacancies will not be filled
until July 1, 1949, This idea had
been misinterpreted by others and
caused considerable turn-oil,

The explanation of the Com-
migsioner’s statement, as obtained
authoritatively by The LEADER,
is that on January 1 there will be
a large increase in the number of
retirements because the extra $50
a year in the retirement benefit
beyond 20 years of service accrues
periodically on July 1 and Janu-
ary 1. The present number of
official vacancies, which is 45, will

|be more than duplicated by re-

tirement, death and resignation.
Hence, the allocation of promo-
tions to vacancies is a bookkeep~
ing operation that does not
change the fact that the promo-

LEADER Drafts
For Uniformity

(Continued Jrom Page 1)
One of the important considera-
tions is the length of service in
the private employer's business for
transfer to City employ. The draft
“of the proposed legislation will
bring up this question for argu-
ment by proposing that a_six-
months period be established, At
public hearings before a committee
the Council both
‘as it out,

, the Commission has been
following the pattern laid down
in the Wicks law, which was pas-
sed in 1938 to allow employees of
the BMT to become City em-
ployees under transit unification,
The Wicks law established a on

ar requirement, (and this is be-
ing followed now in other cases).
Commission rulings permitted
totalizing the period so that the
Whole equaled a year, Also certain

citizens requirements were im-
posed under the Wicks law, but
this phase is covered under the
present City laws on citizenship
and residence.

‘The City recently took over a
bus line in Staten Island and also
one in Queens, and only the other
day two more lines in Man-
hattan. It is extremely anxious to
prevent any loading of the em-
ployee lists by a private enter-
prise about to be acquired by the
City, so that favored “employe
would gain status in City job:
That is the reason for setting the
minimum time limit of employ-
ment, and also confirms the valid-
ity of permitting accumulation of
time.

Also the employees of private
enterprise themselves are much
concerned, as many of them may
be on the border line. For in-
stance, a year requirement might
substantially reduce the number
of employees who could be taken
into the City service, President
Joseph A. McNamara, of the NYC
Civil Service Commission, feels
that a year is too long.

The present practice is to put
these employees into the non-
competitive class, pending poss!
ble reclassification, with the idea
that they will be later put into
the competitive class. The requir
ments of the State constitution
that all positions must be com-
petitive, so far as practicable. The

Board of Transportation positions
|are nearly all in the competitive

tions will pe made approximately
as described.

The Commissioner's announce-
ment laid to rest rumors that had
been spread that the Fire Officers
could approve the creation of the
112 new Fire Lieutenant jobs only
at the expense of higher rank pro-
motions for the rest of the bud-
get year, which ends on July 30
next, The Commissioner's promise
regarding the January 1 promo-
tions was a complete answer to
that misconception,

Quayle Appreciates UFOA Aid

The Commissioner was apprec-
iative of the cooperation received
from the Uniformed Fire Officers
Association, which has been
tent on improving officer hours,
now about 10 hours a week more
than those of Firemen.

He felt confident that the vast
majority of the Fire Officers
would be well satisfied with his
plan which he described as one
which would “accomplish the
greatest good for the greatest
number.” He emphasized the dif-

ficulty of raising the $400,000 nec-
essary to make the 112 Fire Lieu-
tenant promotions and 112 Fire-
man replacements, He added that
any other solution than the one
adopted would have rendered im-
Possible the improvement of the
officers’ hours, which was his
chief objective,

The present quota of the Fire
Department shows the follewing
vacancies in the officers’ ranks:

Deputy Chief, 1; Battalion
Chief, 4; Captain, 17; Lieutenant,

The Fireman list would be pro-
shows an allowance of 8,747, while
there are 8,795 firemen on the
roster constituting a bookkeeping
excess of 48, However, the nun:
ber of firemen on the payroll is
exactly the same as the budget
allowance, 8,747, and the 48 that
seem to be above quota represent
firemen on educational or other
leaves without pay,

Fireman Appointments

On January 1, besides the pro-
motions, there will be Fireman

appointments, Just how may

“Counter-proposals that wy
