SHORT TAKES

ALBANY, Dec. 29 — The State
Budget Director, at last report,
still had not set a date for begin-
ning the actual salary negotia-
tions, Director T, Norman Hurd
told The LEADER that as of last
week he still had nothing sched-

THE NEXT session of the State
Civil Service Commission is sched-
uled for January 20, 21 and 22,

AS OF DECEMBER 1, there
were 5,487 provisional appointees
working in State jobs, Of these
3,817 were in jobs unencumbered
and hence could be filled by com-
petitive appointment. This is a
smaller number in each case than
peared on the payroll last year,
At that time there were a total
of 7,864 provisionals of whom 5,-
646 were in jobs which could be
filled competitivel Mg

THE GOVERNOR'S message to
the 1953 Legislature is going to
call for a new method of selecting
State Supreme Court Judges, The
plan is similar to the “Missourt
plan” long advocated for New York
State by State Senator Thomas
C, Desmond, Dewey himself says
he has recommended new means
of picking the State's judiciary
four times in the past. Observers
are flipping coins at this time to
guess what sort of reception will
be given to the reform proposals
by the lawmakers.

New Institution Attendance
Rules Deemed Inadequate

ALBANY, Dec. 29 — Changes in

3. The Association seeks three

attendance rules for institutional | additional days per year for reli-

employees, proposed by the State
Civil Service Commission, are
considered unsatisfactory “in im-
portant features” by the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Association,

In a letter signed by Wayne W.
Soper, chairman of the CSEA

the | Committee on Attendance Rules,

the rules were deemed inadequate
in many ways:

1, They do not provide for a
37}2-hour week for office em-
ployees in the institutions,

2. The request of workers on a
48-hour week for 24 days annual
vacation is based on the fact that
they do not have an optional 40-
hour week, as seems to be assum-
ed in the proposed rules, The
Association maintains that vaca-
tion periods are grants intended to
aid in maintaining the health and
therefore the efficiency of work-
ers, and there can be no question
that the 48-hour week is more
exhausting. Employees working &
44-hour week are requesting 22
days of vacation time,

gious observance. This issue, Mr.
Soper says, should be met “square-
ly and fairly.”

4. The CSEA has repeated its re-
quest for the return of all sick
leave credits. “There has been
variance in this matter as between
institutions, and the practice
of re-crediting sick leave... is

ferable to the formula proposed
in the rules,”

5. The CSEA also considers in-
defensible the distinction inherent
in granting eleven holidays to de-
partmental workers and ten holl-
days to institution employees, The
organization urges that election
day be granted as a holiday to in-
stitutional employees.

Other Suggestions

The Association also makes a
number of additional suggestions,
among them:

That’ in the case of transfers,
overtime be compensated by time
allowance or cash payment;

‘That time in traveling on off-
cial business in excess of regular

John J. Kelly, Jr., assistant
counsel, and William McDonough,
executive assistant to the president
of the Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, appeared on eo of
the CSEA. Miss Helen C. Drum-
mond appeared for The Civil Ber-
vice Reform Association.

Exams Practicable

Representatives of the Associat-
tion pointed out the practicability
of competitive examinations for
the positions reviewed and cited
the constitutional mandate requir-
ing that men and women
appointments and promotions in
the State service must be tested
for merit and fitness where such
testing is practicable.

Miss Drummond also urged the
value of the merit system as a
means for recruitment and promo-
tion in public service and referred
to the success of competitive tests
in filling like positions in Call-
fornia and other jurisdictions.

Can Test for Legal Jobs

Mr. Kelly stressed that all of
the facts surrounding the selection
of civil servants and the examina-
tions applying thereto, indicate
that it is entirely practicable to
examine for legal positions. There
were a number of such positions
on the hearing calendar.

Desirable Policy

Mr. McDonough referred to the
public hearings on jurisdictional
administration. “The Association,”
Mr. McDonough stated, “urges
that a necessary and logical con-
comitant of this action to extend
the competitive class coverage is
that the discretion which rests
with the Commission to place po-
sitions in the non-competitive or
exempt classes be exercised in the
future only after public hearings
of this character. All positions fall
naturally into the competitive class
unless the Commission finds spe-
cial reason for placing them in
the exempt or non-competitive
class, or the statute provides
otherwise. The opportunity for

citizen expression on each discre-| ¢

tionary exemption from the com.
petitive class is present only in
Public hearings. We believe that
the wise constitutional mandate
as to competitive tests is vital to
any efficiency-stimulating career
plan and also to the safeguarding
of the people's right to be served
by competent workers.”

N™ YORK State is advertising for two chemists, ene
to carry on independent physical chemistry research
on natural mineral waters, the other supervising chemical
and biological examinations of various wastes. The joba
eall for heavy training, and the first of them for long

experience,

What do these important positions pay at the startt

$4,964 and $4,053.

Here is pointed up a major weakness of civil serview
Geared to the idea of selecting the most competent candi
dates for public service, the system defeats itself by the
utter unreality of salaries in many categories. Why shoulé
a chemist take one of these positions when he can earn
perhaps twice as much in private industry? Result: The
insecure, the second-rate, and the failures are the most
likely to apply, or the opportunist who wants to use the
post as a stepping-stone and will leave at the earliest
opportunity. Very often no one applies at all, and some ef
the most important civil service tasks remain undone,

Is this economic government?

Law Cases Affecting
Civil Service Employees

ALBANY, Dec, 29 — Below is a
fwummary of recent and pending
law cases in which the State Civil
Bervice Commission has been in-
Yolved. These cases deal with
Principles that are important to
all public employees, local as well
as State.

LASKY v. CONWAY et al. — Com-
menced March 18, 1952.

In this proceeding petitioners,
all of whom hold permanent posi-
tions of Assistant Claims Exami-
ner in the Division of Employ-
ment, seek an order annulling the
determination of the respondents
disqualifying them as candidates
in the open competitive examina~
tion for the position of Employ-
ment Interviewer, which was held
in November, 1951. The announced
minimum qualifications for the
examination for Employment In-
terviewer required at least one
year of certain specialized experi-
ence, principally in personnel
work, involving techniques of in-
terviewing and selection of per-
sonnel for various types of work,
staffing, Job analysis and evalua-
tion, ete. The petitioners’ applica-
tions for this examination were
disapproved on varying dates be-
tween October 3, and October 30,
1951, for the reason that they did
Not possess the minimum required
specialized experience. Upon pro-
test, however, petitioners were per-
Mitted to take the examination
conditionally. Immediately after
the examination, _ petitioners,
through their attorney, demanded
that their experience as Assistant
Claims Examiners be accepted as
the spectalized experience requir-
ed in the announcement for the
examination for Employment In-
terviewer, On January. 29, 1952,
the petitioners were notified that
the experience set forth in their
applications did not meet the
minimum announced requirements
and that their applications would
remain disapproved, In this pro-
ceeding, commenced on March 18,
1952, the petitioners contend that
the duties and responsibilities of
the position of Assistant Claims
Examiner ars similar or closely
related to those of Employment
Interviewer and that, therefore,
the refusal of the respondents to
accept their experience in the posi-
tion of Assistant Claims Examiner
as qualifying in the examination
for Employment Interviewer was
wrongful and arbitrary,

The Supreme Court, Albany
County, dismissed the petition on
the grounds that this proceeding
was barred by statute of ta-
tions inasmuch as more than four
months elapsed since the peti-
tioners' applications were disap-
Proved, The Court ruled that the

applications of the petitioners were
unequivocally disapproved in Octo-
ber, 1951, and that the petitioners
cotld not, by repeated applica-
tions, extend their time to seek
judicial review, The proceeding
was dismissed by an order dated
May }7, 1952.

Russo y. Civil Service Commission

Alfano v. Civil Service Commission

Dina v. Civil Service Commission
—Commenced May 23, 1952.

The petitioner in each of these
Proceedings seeks to annul a de-
termination of the State Civil
Service Commission disqualifying
him in the open competitive ex-
amination for License Inspector
id directing the removal of his
me from the eligible list therefor
and the termination of his ap-
pointment from such eltgible list to
such position. The minimum quali-
fications set forth in the an-
nouncement for the examination
for License Inspector required
completion of at least two years of
high school, High school equiva-
lency certificates were acceptable
in leu of actual high school at-
tendance. The petitioners, who
were candidates in such examina-
tion, each indicated in his appli-
cation “that he possessed at least
the minimum high school educa-
tional requirement and, on the
basis of such statements in the
applications, which were made un-
der oath, all three were approved
as candidates and admitted to the
examination. The petitioners pass-
ed examination and their names
were entered upon the resulting
eligible list, from which all three
were appointed shortly thereafter.

Soon after such appointments,
an investigation of the statements
made by the petitioners in their
applications was instituted. Such
investigation, however, failed to
produce any evidence that the pe-
titioners had ever attended high
school as stated in their applica-
tions. There were no school rec-
ords to indicate their attendance,
and the petitioners themselves
were unable to produce any proof
to substantiate their claims. Dur-
ing the course of such investiga-
tion, each of the petitioners ob-
tained a high school equivalency
diploma.

In view of the total lack of evi-
dence of the petitioners’ claimed
high school attendance, the re-
spondent State Civil Service Com-
mission found that the petitioners
had made deliberate misrepresen-
tations of material fi in order
to deceive the Commission into be-
lieving that they possessed the
minimum — educational require-
ments; and, further, even in the
absence of the element of fraud
or deceit, the petitioners, at the
time of their certification and ap-
Pointment, did not possess the re-

quired minimum educational re-
quirements, and, therefore, their
appointments were void ab initio.
the Commission di-
the certification of
petitioners’ names for the position
of License Inspector and their re-
sulting peo ad to such post-
— be Pee one ied.

Supreme Court, New York
county, ruled that since there was
no proof that petitioners did not
attend high school, as claimed,
and since the petitioners had ob-
tained high school equivalency di-
plomas, they were entitled to rein-
statement, and the Court so or-
dered. After subsequent argument,
however, the order directing the
petitioners’ reinstatement was va-
eated and annulled.

CROWNE vy. CONWAY et al. —
Commenced June 19, 1952.

The petitioner was a candidate
in the recent open competitive
examination for the position of
Hearing Officer, but failed to pass
the oral portion of*such examina-
tion, which was conducted by a
three-member board of examiners
on February 1, 1952. In this pro-
ceeding the petitioner seeks to
compel the respondent State Civil
Service Commission to exclude the
results of such oral examination
from any consideration in deter-
mining the final ratings of can-
didates in the examination as a
whole. It is the petitioner's con-
tention that the oral examination
did not employ objective standards
and the rating thereof represented
only the non-measurable opinions
of the three examiners. Therefore,
the petitioner contends, the oral
examination was in violation of
the requirements of the State Con-
stitution.

The Supreme Court, Albany
County, ruled that a court may in-
tervene in a case such as this only
when the action of the civil ser-
vice commission is shown to be ar-
bitrary, capricious or unreason-
able, and, since no facts were pre-
sented in support of the petition-
er's conclusion that respondents’
actions were arbitrary, capricious
or unreasonable, the petition
should be dismissed. Accordingly,
the petition was dismissed by an
order dated October 2, 1952.

State Employee Has Own
Art Show; His Works Selling

ALBANY, Dec, 29 — Edwin
Becker, of Dellmar, a staff artist
for the State Department of Civil
Service in Albany, and an illus-
trator often used by the Civil
Service Employees Association, has
@ one-man show of his works at
the Albany Institute of History
and Arts and his his works are
selling at a rapid rate.

Becker has previously had works
exhibited in Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Dayton, and New York
City as well as in many regional
exhibits, but this marks his first
one man show.

Varied Experience

A native New Yorker, Becker
studied at the Art Students League

George Bridgman. During the de-

pression years he did free lance
work, modeled and served as a
life guard at Coney Island.

| tographic unit of the Army Signal

when he returned to New York

City. He began his present job/

with the Civil Service Department
the following year.

AAA ADAAAAAAAAAAADADAADADAAAAAADA AAA AA

Question, Please

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

Final Authority

IF A DIFFERENCE of opinion
exists between the NYC Police De-
partment and the Municipal Civil
Service Commission on the medi-
cal acceptability of a patrolman
candidate, which has the deciding
voice? A.B.

Answer — The Commission. It is
empowered by law with the last
word on rating. On the other hand,
the department has the responsi-
bility for public safety, The two
agencies work out the problem
together.

‘Appropriate’ Lists

WHEN an eligible is not ap-
Pointed to a job in the title for
which he competed, but to some
other job, for which the list on
which his name is has been held
satisfactory by the Civil Service
Commission, if vacancies turn up
in the job the exact title for which
he competed, may he not demand
the job he really wants? M. E, L.

Answer — No. The appointment
to the “appropriate” job takes his
name off the list. He is no longer
an eligible. This is not to deny,
however, that, before completing
his probationary period, if he gives
up the alternative job, he could
on sufficient showing, have his
name restored to the list by reso-
lution of the Commission, How-
ever, that’s an entirely different
situation.

Reversing A Commission

WHAT IS the general rule in
court regarding decisions of a
Civil Service Commission on the
propriety of answers that the Com-
mission considers correct? L. K.

ANSWER — The rule is well es-
tablished that the courts will not
substitute their judgment for that
of the Commission. Many cases
are brought in which the candi-
dates haye the mistaken notion
that if answers they propose are
all right, the answers which the
€ommission follow are all wrong.
‘To overthrow an action or decision
by a Commission, it would be ne-
cessary to’prove that the Commis-
sion was arbitrary, unreasonable or
capricious. A mere difference of
opinion as to the sufficiency of a
Commission-approved answer 1s
far from enough.

even another list is suitable for
filling the jobs, may not a depart-
ment head appoint anybody he
likes? K. L.

Answer — More or less. Permis-
sion must be obtained from the
Civil Service Commission to ap-
point a person who did not pass an
exam for the job, known as @ “pro-
visional,” and some slight infor-
mation about the proposed pro-
yisional is required by law to be
submitted to the Commission. But
once permission to appoint a pro-
visional is granted, then the de-
partment head, by and large, may
make the appointment, The dura~

in of the appointment is limited

90 days, and a possible renewal.
But if services must be rendered,
and no list exis

business of the government

infraction of the rule against
keeping the provisional on the

fellow employees attended a party
held for Gustav Heehs, a plumber
at Rockland State Hospital, who
will retire from State service Jan-
uary 1,

The party, given by members of
the plumbing shop, was held on
the hospital grounds in the base-
ment of Home 29, the night of
December 12.

Among the guests were Dr. Al-
fred M. Stanley, senior director of
Rockland State Hospital, who
wished Mr. Heehs the best of luck
in his new life, and Bill Larkin, a
close friend of the guest of honor,

Ed Locker, of the. plumbing
shop, presented Mr. Heehs with a
complete spinning outfit, includ-
ing a rod, reel, net, tackle box and
accessories — a gift from his co-
workers,

A bit of humor was injected in-
to the gift giving by Chief Engi-
neer Lewis C. Van Huben's pres-
entation of a wooden case with a
glass front, containing two gilded
pipe wrenches used by Mr. Heehs
during his employment. A gilded
hammer was chained to the side
of the case, and a small sign in-
formed the recipient that the ham-
mer was to be used on the glass
“in case of emergencies,”

Mr. Heehs also received an
Association pin from Emil M. R.
Bollman, president of the Rock-
land State Hospital chapter, CSEA.

During the evening an_hilari-
ously funny skit, entitled “Hurri-
cane Horace With Super Service
DeLuxe,” prepared by Mr. Van
Huben, was presented. The skit,
performed by Horace Asimus and
Jim Nolan, in pantomine, took
some good-natured jabs at the
efficiency of the plumbing depart-
ment.

A_buffet luncheon was served
by Ina Langschur, Helen Hoban
and Barbara Jersey of the Food
Service Department

Dance music was supplied by an
instrumental tr comprised of

) | Dorothy Walker, Bill Kunze and

Mr. Bollman.

Mr. Heehs started in State ser-
vice April 1924, at Middletown
State Hospital, where he spent
four years. In April 1931, he went
to work at Rockland.

At both hospitals Mr, Heehs
was very active in base ball and
bowling. It was he who first sug-
gested that the Rockland State
bowling team compete with teams
from other State hospitals,

Mr, Heehs says that his years
at Middletown and Rockland State
have been very pleasant, and he is
extremely grateful for the splendid
cooperation he received in his

at both institutions.

Public Workers Better
Than Given Credit For

poll of business men, to determine their attitudes about

public work and civil service, received wide com-
ment in the daily press. Emphasis was not placed, however,
en one of the most important findings elicited by the Na-
tional Civil Service League, which conducted the fact-
finding operation. It’s this:

The people who work for government are, on the
whole, better than they are given credit for. A majority
ef the respondents found, many to their surprise, that the
government worker was generally as good as and some-
times better than his counterpart in private business.

For instance, in response to the question:

Do you find government personnel on the average
better or worse than most businessmen of your acquaint-
lance have judged them?

Efficiency

A. Either the same or greater 66%
B. Less efficient 30%
C. No answer 4%
Interest and Devotion to Work

‘A. Either the same or greater 66%
B. Less interest and

devotion to work 29%
C. No answer 5%

‘A few comments:

“The old line career civil servant is, generally
speaking, a high type and devoted public serv-
ant. Often the temporary ones have little
interest in their jobs.”

“There is too little recognition of good work.
The individual with ability is lost in a big
organization.”

“Many in government work harder than in
business and sacrifice own wealth.”

In addition, 55% of the businessmen believed that
Pecond and third level ($6,000 to $10,000 salary) eareer
government executives were equal to or better than the
pame salary levels in industry.

Most of the respondents were in agreement that the
potential of the career government worker was far above
the level realized so far. They advocated that govern-
ment adopt the methods for training employees and super-
yisors which have been proved so successful by private
industry. They also felt that future government executives
wt the top levels should be drawn from the career ranks,
although such an executive development program would
fake several years to become effective.

Question: Should greater emphasis be placed on de-
Weloping executive talent in the career ranks of govern-
ment?

A. Yes 84%
B. No. 1%
C, No answer 9%

Bome comments:

| “Yes, especially if they could be put im a
position to really take bold, responsible action

on their own.”

“One of the country’s major weaknesses is

that politicians rather than men trained in
government dominate important decisions. We

need the elimination of dirt and all that goes

with political government. We need career

men in government with adequate pay and
dignity.”

“Yes, but jobs up to Under Secretary rank
would have to have permanent status.”

r In the opinion of the respondents, most government
workers would produce better if they had the benefit
wf a consistent policy, a freer hand to get their jobs
Mone, as well as authority and top level understanding

Comment

IDEA FOR NYC JOB
RECLASSIFICATION
Editor, The LEADER:

‘When the NYC Civil Service
Commission finally gets started
‘on its title changing of job classi-
fication, and job-duty descrip-
tions, it should give full consider-
ation to establishing a system of
grades for all jobs, and fitting
each title into its proper grade.
That's what the Federal Govern-
ment and the State do. +

NYC has sub-classifications,
based on types of service, such as
Medical or Attendant. The same
grade would not then necessarily
carry the same pay spreads.

The preliminary indication
seems to be that the separate
“services” method will be con-
tinued. If the reclassification is
conscientiously done, that would
be all right, too, but, the “serv-
ices” groupings are likely to be
continued, since changes are to be
adopted piecemeal and promptly.

Early rectification of inequities
is good. However, it is no better
than a salary increase through the
Board of Estimate.

If the overall grading plan isn’t
seriously considered at all, the new
Classification Bureau may be ren-
dering the City a disservice on
this one point. L. K.

PREVAILING RATES
SOUGHT STATEWIDE

Editor, The LEADER:

The Jaw that requires NYC to
Pay the rates prevailing in local
private industry, to workmen, la-
borers and mechanics engaged on
public works construction and
maintenance, has made it possi-
ble for many thousands in NYC to
enjoy a living wage. Too bad that
the same benefit can not be ay
plied to State employees in the
same category. The law is there —
it’s the same law—but the story
seems to be that it would be hard
to prove what a statewide rate
should be, say, for a mechanic,
when the rate is one thing in one
locality of the State, and another
thing in another locality of the
State. I'm sure State employees in
these catagories would be inter-

ested in some possible solution be- |,

cause of the possible pay benefit.
BR. OR.
MORE ZIP ASKED
ON RECRUITMENT
Editor, The LEADER:

Civil service commissions are
having recruitment difficulties, and
for much the same reason.

The armed forces draw off many |

men whom the branches of gov-
ernment formerly counted on to
be candidates in police, fire and
sanitation tests, as well as in other
tests, such as engineering and)
Medical, Also, private industry, in
many instances, offers
money, These are difficult obsta-
cles to hurdle. Commissions should
not be adversely criticized for be-
ing affected by inevitable condi-
tions. But there is one thing that
& commission can and should do.
It should conduct a recruitment
program with more lift, life and
zip.

Private industry runs tnto diffi-
culties, too, and civil service com-
missions should find out how in-
tense is the pressure to attain a
goal even against better odds than
the commissions now face. Just a
friendly suggestion. B. M, L.

FIRE-FIGHTERS APPRECIATE

On behalf of the firefighters of

ing the editorial regarding the
Heart Bill, published in The

REMEMBER all that talk during the recent pre tial campaign
about how the Democrats had 2,000,000 votes of Federal employees in
their pocket? Like so many myths about government workers, this
one.was a phony too, Here are the facts, as finally recorded. In the
areas around Washington, D. C., most heavily populated by Federal
aides, final figures show that Eisenhower won over Stevenson by a
larger ratio than that of the national vote. Here are the actual figures:
Montgomery County, Md: Ike won by 47,805 to 2! Prince Georges
County, Md., 38,060 to 29,119; Arlington County, 119 to 14,032;
Fairfax County, Va., 13,020 to 2,329; Alexandria,Va., 8,579 te 6,471;

CHARLES TAFT, brother of Senator Robert A. Taft, being men<

Agricultural Research Center Handbook No. 43, very useful... .

INCREASING the upper age limit for candidates for the NYC
Police and Fire Departments is being considered. The law itself would
have to be changed. Reason is that in this type of exam only one=
third as many are applying as formerly. . The NYC Civil Servi
Commissioners can look out of their windows and see newly inducte
naval personnel, still in mufti, marching to a restaurant across the
street, and out again, and thus visualize the main reason for the
drop in the number of men candidates in the military age brackets,
The average appointment age to these jobs is above 25 now... .
When patrolman or fireman appointments are made they are usually,

Career Job Opportunities for Men
In Transit System to $72 at Start

Eight exams, to be opened to}

the general public, providing
career opportunities in some of the
most popular titles in the NYC
Board of Transportation, were put
on the 1953 schedule last week by
the Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission. So were 23 promotion
exams for Board jobs, but only
qualified present employees of the
Board would be admitted to the
Promotion tests.

Five maintainer’s helper titles,
among the eight open to the pub-
lic, are also on the promotion list,
which indicates that the Board
does not expect to be nearly able
to fill the jobs in the five titles by

romotion. After exhausting such
ists it would use the open-com-
Pelitive ones,

The eight open-competitive
titles, and hourly pay at start and
after one year, for a 40-hour week,
follow

Maintainer’s helper, group A,
$1.62 to $1.68.

Maintainer’s helper, group B,
$1.62 to $1.68.

Mainiainer’s helper, group C

Maintainer’s helper, group D,
$1.62 to $1.68.

Maintainer's helper, group E,
(power), $1.62 to $1.74.

Mechanical maintainer, group

surface line operator test, for
which applications were received
in 1950, attracted 18,237 candi-
dates.

Requirements were: male, mini-
mun height, 5 feet, 4 inches (bare

ed his 2lst birthday by the ap-
pointment date, who had not been

ment, and who was not bondable,

Duties included operation of bus,
trolley bus and street car,

The written test pass mark was
70 percent, All who passed were
called to a qualifying physical, in
which no percentage scores are
given. Also, the Municipal Civil
Service Commission gave a motor
ability test prior to certification.

Those 5 feet, 6 inches or taller
who become eligibles could be ap-
pointed as conductors.
he exam notice also set forth:
‘he written test will be used to

agility; in order to qualify, can-
didates will be required to jump
and clear a rope 2 feet 6 inches in
height and lift in success a 40-
Pound dumbbell with one hand
and a 35-pound dumbbell with the
other a full arm’s length above the
head,

“Candidates may be rejected for
any disease, injury or abnormality,
which in the opinion of the medi
cal examiner tends to impair
health or usefulness, such as: her-
nia; defects of the heart or lungs;
impaired hearing in either ear; de-
fective color vision; vision of less
than 20/40 in either eye (eye-
glasses allowed); third degree or
disabling varicose veins.”

TRACKMAN

The maximum age in the last

ys e's)

Lazarus Joseph warned that here-
after employees who start actions
under the Labor Law won't get re-
troactive bonuses. Budget Direc-
tor Abraham D. Beame didn't want
them granted this time, fearing a

nr| dangerous precedent,

THE BOARD of Estimate post-
poned until January 15, on request
of the Comptroller, action ona
resolution to vote funds for a
Classification Bureau in the Muni-
cipal Civil Service Commission.
The north wing of the fourth floor
at 299 Broadway, where the Com-

| mission has its offices, has been

renovated for the new bureau,
which Sidney M. Stern will head.

MERIT INCREASES were voted
by the Board to 150 employees.
Among the beneficiaries, and the
amounts: Deputy Comptroller
Abraham Doris, $1,500 to $15,000;
John M. Tierney, executive secre-
tary to the Mayor, $1,000 to $13,-
500; William Ettle, assistant to

id Mr, Tierney, $500, to $11,000,

THE COURT OF APPEALS up-
held the Local Law that requires

pective retirement date, Previous-
ly members could be retired imme-

As Possible Addition to
Public Employee Pensions

By H. J. BERNARD
Not one of the permanent civil
ice employees who work for
Federal Government, the State
or a local community, is covered
by Social Security because of such
employment. The question is
whether they should be and, if so,
under what conditions.
Many thousands of Federal em-
loyees don’t have membership in
§, Civil Service Retirement | ™
System because they are not per-
manent employees, Dut indefinites.
They are under Social Security.
‘The Federal Security Administra-
tion wants to keep them there, The
U. 8. Civil Service Commission is
strenuously trying, instead, to open
the U. S. Civil Service Retirement
System to all “indefinites,” par-
ticularly as the Whitten amend-
ment stopped permanent appoint-
ments for such a long time, and
‘now permits them only on a
strictly limited basis,
Exceptional Cases
Some members of public em-
ployee retirement systems are
covered by Social Security, not
because of their public employ-
ment, but because they have dual
Jobs. or because they formerly
worked in private industry, or
were in military war service, and
have credits under Social Secur-
ity. Such employees might even be
fully insured under Social Secur-
ity, and be able to retire at age
65 at maximum individual benefit,
either before or after retiring or
resigning from public employ.
Others with past Social Security
credits might have to make up
enough credits to entitle them to
retirement and other Social Se-
curity benefits. So, in a rounda-
bout way, they actually do com~-
bine the benefits of public em-
ployee retirement system and So-
clal Security, However, the idea ts
to permit this combination of

benefits without having to hold | 30

combination jobs. Private pensions
integrated with poral
n

fact, the U. S. encourages that.
Many Left Out Entirely

Thousands of employees of local
government in New York State
fare not covered by any retirement
system. No State law has been en-
acted under which they could be
accepted under Social Security,
and the employer hasn't seen fit
w join the State Employees Re-
tirement System.

Premius paid by the employer
and employee under Social Secur-
ity are a tax, If qualification for
benefits under Social Security Law
finally aren't met, the employee
doesn’t get back one cent of what
he paid. Under the public em-

loyee systems he gets back what

e put up, with interest, except
that he may have to resort to a

tirement allowance, if his service

20 years or more, But there is
no such forfeiture.

State, Local and U. 8. Employees

As the Social Security Law now
stands, no State or looal govern-
ment employee is eligible for So-
cial Security coverage by reason
of such employment, if he is even
eligible for membership in a pub-
lic employee retirement system,
much less a member of that sys-
tem. To obtain Social Security
benefits for such employees, the
State would have to pass enabling
legislation, and enter into an
agreement with the Federal Secur-
ity Administration, under which
Social Security must substitute for
pete employee retirement sys-

n

m membership.
Federal employees now under
the U. 8. Civil Service Retirement

System can not, by reason of
such employment, come under So:
cial Security, unless Congress
Passes a law to that effect
Kaplan Heads Study
A bill to permit Social Security
and State or local public employee
retirement systems to co-exist was
| crop by the House, in the 82nd
ongress but was stopped in the
Senate, However, the Senate. com-
mittee reported that. though there
‘was merit in the bill, there was
s0 much conflict of opinion fur-
ther study was necessary. A simi-
Tar bill is to be introduced in the
83rd Congress, soon to convene,
Under the bill, if two-thirds of
the members of an insured mroup
vote to come under Social Secur-
ity, all the members of that group
id come under Social Security,

and the employer would have to
i his share. Social Security,
like the public employee retire-
ment systems, is on the basis of
Joint contribution.

A study of all Federal retire-
ment systems is now benig con-
ducted by order of Congress. H.
Eliot Kaplan, former Deputy State
Comptroller, is heads that study,
bl appointment of President Tru-

Mr. Kaplan is also counsel
to the State Comptroller's com-
mittee studying Social Security.

Divided Opinion

In New York State and its lo-
calities, members of public em-
ployee retirement systems would
never want to substitute Social
Security for what they have. The
maximum age limit of Social Se-
curity is too high, the maximum
retirement allowance for what one
may call a full quota of service
is too small, and there'd be a mini-
mum retirement age where now
there may be none, Many em-
ployees, however, would like to add
Social Security benefits to their
present ones. Others, particularly
uniformed forces and teachers,
want no part of Social Security
for fear that once the Federal
Government gets any connection
with a State or local pension sys-
tem, it won't be long before it'll
be an all-Federal system, with

important benefits lessened,
though other benefits might be
improved.

Police and Fire Pensions

Police and fire pension systems
are among those in which no
minimum retirement age is re-
quired, but instead a minimum
period of member-service.

In the NYC Police and Fire
Pension Funds, half-pay is ob-
tainable after 20 years’ service,
with $50 a@ year additional, for
each extra year, up to 10 years,
or half oa toad $500 a year for

years’ service.
In other public employee retire-
ment systems, minimum ages for
ordinary retirement are 55, 60 or
62. The retirement allowance is
based on what the employee's con-
tributions will buy in the form of
annulty, and what the employer
its up, as @ pension. Salary for
ive consecutive years, multiplied
by a fraction, and by the number
of years of member-service, de-
termines the pension. In general,
the pension will be at least as
much as the annuity, In many in-
stances the annuity will fall far
below the pension, so that the
result falls considerably short of
half pay, for the 25, 30 or 35
years’ service for the respective
retirement ages.

Before members of a present
public employee retirement system
can determine whether they would
favor the addition of Social Se-
curity benefits, or integration,
they must know whab Social Se-
curity provides,

Under Social Security, the bene-
fits are weighted in favor of the
lower-paid, At present those ap-
proaching Social Security retire-
ment age of 65 may obtain maxt-
mum benefit for relatively short
periods of coverage. Premiums are
pala equally, at 144 percent now,

y both employer and employee,
but only on the first $3,600 of
salary, Anything. above $3,600
doesn’t count. The employee need

be in covered employment for

wine that are shorter, the older

e is.

‘The wife must be “living with”! curit

her husband when her claim is
filed, that is, either in the same
household or, if not, she must be
receiving regular contributions
and support from her husband. .
How Older Are Favored Now
To show what the result would
be for one now near 65 under So-
cial Security, assume that such age
will be attained in May, 1956, The
employee will have 39 months (ex-
clusive of the final month) at say,
a month covered ‘income. The
$100 produces 55 percent of
covered income, $55; the remain-
der, up to $200 additional to keep
within the $300. produces 15 per-
cent, or $30. Thus $85 a month
can be attained in a little more
than three years. At present, if
one is now nearer retirement age,
the same result could be aattained
in two years,

The wife, to receive additional
pension until her husband’s death,
must be at least 65 years old.

If a husband is to be sub-
stituted for a wife, then the wife
must be supporting him.

Where there is a widow's pen-
sion, and there are minor children,
the family benefits increase,

Another Contrast

In public employee retirement
systems the benefits are
on a flat actuarial basis. If the
pensioner wants the retirement
allowance all for himself, he does
this by providing nothing for
others; if he wants to share it
with wife or some one else, or have
his widow pick up where he leaves
off, his own retirement income
will be less, because the flat actu-
arial benefit is apportioned. Un-
@cr Social Security the widow and
other survivor benefits are addi-
tional to the insured’s basic pen-
sion. and so are the benefits ac-
corded to any other beneficiaries.

After one is retired under So-
cial Security, during any month
in which his income from another
Job that’s covered under Social Se-
curity exceeds $75, any pensions
under his Social Security “policy”
are suspended. Under the State
Employees Retirement System,
and community retirement systems
in the State, the pension part of
the retirement allowance alone is
suspended, if one earns $1800 or
more a year with the State or
one of its communities. The re-
striction does not apply if the pen-
sioner works in private industry
or for the Federal Government.
The suspension of the pension
part of the allowance does not
cause the annuity part to be sus-
pended,

Best in Both Compared

For incomes above $3.600, par-
ticularly those considerably above,
the public employee retirement
systems generally provide larger
retirement allowances than Social
Security, because the pension is
computed on the salary during any
five consecutive years, and the
number of years of service is &
direct factor. The employee gener-
ally selects the best five for the
final average salary, as it's called,
Also, the number of years of serv-
ice is likely to be sizeable,

Take th. extremely good plan
of the NYC Employees Retire-
ment System under which a mem-
ber may retire at age 55 on 1 per-
cent pension for each year of
member-service. For 25 years’
service the pension is 25 percent.
If the annuity buys as much as
the pension, then the employee
provides himself with a 25 percent
annuity, Half-pay after 25 years
results.

Suppose the salary is $3,600.
‘Then half-pay yields $1,800 a year.
Por higher salary. other condi-
tions unchanged, the retirement
allowance would be proportionate-
ly greater.

Under Social Security the maxi-
mum benefit to the individual ts
$1,020 a year, on the same salary
basis, although the number of
years’ service could be fewer, in-
deed, as few as two years.

If the two benefits could be
combined, on this basis alone the
retirement allowance would rise
56 per cent through combination.

Under Social Security, in addi-
tion, there may be family benefits,

and these, combined with the in-| These

sured's

msion, could yield s to-
tal of

12,025.60 from Foetal Be-
ity, or more than the public

New Lay

For U. 5.
In Effect

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 —
U. 8. Civil Service Commission | las
finally is going ahead with the
new layoff plan it has been pro-
moting for several months, and
announced that the plan takes
effect on February 15.

It simplifies greatly the present
complicated method of groups;
sub-groups and sub-sub-groups,
and substitutes three: career, ca-
reer-conditional, and indefinite, in
that order.

Career employees will have the
tightest hold on their jobs, the
other groups next, in order.

The plan was held up so long
largely because of opposition from
some veterans’ organizations. The
present method gives veterans an
overall advantage over non-vet~
erans, The new setup gives veter-
ans retention rights superior only
to those of non-veterans within
the same group. Thus the new
order reduces the “bumping”
Privileges now held by veterans,

The Three Groups

‘The three groups:

Career — Competive employees
who have permanent status.

Career-Conditional — Competi-
tive employees serving their pro-
bationary period.

Indefiinite — Competitive em-
ployees filling jobs that can not
lead to permanency without pass-
ing another exam; jobs accepted

Temporary jobs, or those a

Overlooked, is significant.

fit,

Though Social Security may be
@ far cry from security, it is cer-
tainly social.

Social Security ‘Quarters’

Social Security divides the cal-
endar year into quarters starting
on January 1, April 1, July 1 and
October 1, The insured must have
been paid at least $50 in an entire
quarter. A member is fully insured
if he has at least one quarter vf
coverage for each of two calendar
quarters since January 1, 1951.
Being .fully insured entitles one,
who otherwise qualifies, to receive
benefits, the amount depending on
his earnings.

‘This is the “new start” formula,

It can be seen that while Social
Security provides additional bene-
fits in any case, they are obtained
faster, at present, by the older
group.

The farther one’s present age {s
from 65, the more quarters of
covered service that would be re-
quired, because of the greater
number of intervening years,

Military Credits
Military service affords Social
Security wage credits, under a 1952
amendment to the law. The ser-
vice period covered runs from July
1947 through December, 1953, and
monthly payments begin with
September 9, 1952.

The 1952 amendment provides
Social Security wage credits of
160 a month for military service
rom July 25, 1947, through De-
cember 31, 1953. Wage credits for
military service after the end of
World War II count towards both
survivors’ benefits and retirement
benefits for months after August
1952, but do not count towards
Jump-sum death payments where
the serviceman died before Sep-
tember, 1952. As a result of the
new law, military service from
September 16, 1940, through De-
cember 31, 1953, can count towards
old-age and survivors’ insurance,

An Enormous Inclusion

As appointments to civilian uni-
formed forces particularly are of
men in the military age brackets,
there are tens of thousands of em-
Ployees of the State and its com-
munities, as well as in Federal
Government employ within the
State, who benefit by the new pro-
vision.

Soon after the close of the
World War I, for instance, 96
percent of the patrolman appli-
cants in NYC were veterans, and
nearly as high a percentage ob-
tained among applicants for fire-
man jobs, Also sanitationmen were
70 percent veterans, at least,

Por office jobs, in all jurisdic-
tions, the veteran percentage was
smaller, especially as women are
included, but the amendment adds
enormously to the ranks of those
who have Social Security credits,
in and out of public employment,
benefits could come in
mighty handy later,
through

industry on @ dual basis, or after
retirement, or if Social *Security
is integrated with a public em«
Ployee retirement system.

Vested Pension

Also, the amendment points up
the fact that Social Security
credits may be carried with one,
| almost anywhere he may be em-
ployed, except, at present, to a
| public job; in other words, Social
Security provides a vested pen
rag with that principal limita-

ion.

Two other subjects occasion
considerable discussion ir connec=
tion with integrating Social Se-
curity with a present public em-
ployee retirement system of New
York State or one of its commun-
ities. They are the pension amend~
ment to the State Constitution
and the U, S. income tax.

Contractual Rights

The amendment provides that
pension rights are contractual and
may not be diminished or impair-
ed. This puts such pensions on a
personal contract basis. The mem-
ber could not be deprived of his
present pension rights by the vote
of any group, even if the group
were the State Legislature. It
also means that any reduction of
benefits, increase in minimum age,
or establishment of an age limit
where now there is none,
apply to future entrants only.

Tax Exemption

them, are 100 percent tax-. He

is that 3 percent of the retire-

turn of interest on that capital,
so only 3 percent of the ennuity

Following the pattern of the fire-
man and sanitationman exams,
the patrolman test produced about
one-third the normal number of
applicants — 8,869.

ast day for men to apply
was Monday, December 22, except
that servicemen who were in mili-
tary service during any part of
the normal application period
have until Saturday, February 28.
As it did in the fireman test, the
Service Commission
may reopen the patrolman exam.
If it does so, it will give advance
notice.

Scores of prospective candi-
dates showed up on the day fol-
lowing the final one, and gave
various reasons why they were
unable to apply sooner. However,
they were told that as the appli-
cation period was closed, there was
no use filling out a blank, but that
if the exam is reopened, they
should. apply then, and promptly.

Veterans Arrive Too Late

Some veterans showed up too
late, thinking that the time ex-
tension applies to them, but it
does not, unless they happened to
have been in military service dur-
ing the normal application period,
A veteran is a discharged service-
man, and the time extension ap-
plies only to servicemen.

The next stage of the
would be the written test, sched-
uled for Saturday, March 14.
Those who pass the written test
will be called in for medical exami-
nation and those who qualify in
that will take the competitive phy-
sical. Both the written and the
physical tests are competitive, with
70 percent the pass mark in the
physical, no pass mark as yet an-
nounced for the written, and may
not be until on the exam paper.

Written Test

The written test, if it follows
recent ones for the Job, will con-
tan questions on fundamental
knowledge, some arithmetic which
would be mainly proportion, and
probe knowledge of Jocal geo-
graphy, local public affairs, civics,
meaning of words and interpreta-
tion of paragraphs. The Commis~-
sion calls it an aptitude test.

ledical Test

The medical test will check con-
dition of eyes, heart, lungs, and
other organs of the body.
Height happens to be a part of the
medical test, as does weight, which

need be only proportionate to
height, within a fair degree of
tolerance. Age is no factor in de-
termining proportion, but skele-
tal structure is.

Physical Test

The physical test is of the mod-
ern type which tests four main
qualities: strength, agility. endur-
ance and explosive power. Strength
refers to weight and barbell lifting
ability, not merely from a stand-
ing position, but when sitting or
lying down.

exention, as tested in the standing
broad jump in a novel way.

In the ordinary standing brond
jump, the jumper is allowed to
assume any desired position and
swing his arms and spring his legs
as he sees fit. In the broad jump
test the Commission gives, the
starting position must be a crouch
with fingers touching the heels,
and the arms may be thrown for-
ward, but not backward, for lever~
age and lift. Thus it is a test of
what the competitor can do as of

since a combination of natural
agility and strength, constituting

the “power,” determines how well
the candidate will do,

‘The requirement for 100 percent
is @ standing broad jump of at
least 8 feet, 2 inches, while for 6
bgt 8 inches the percentage given
is 70.

There is no mile run or bar chin
in the physical test any more,

Formerly the physical test was
weighted 90 percent strength, 10
percent agility. Now it is balanced
evenly among the four compo-
nents — strength, agility, endure
ance and exvlosive power.
