Vets Ask Dewey for Aid; Seek Special Session Bills

Repeat This! Politics, Inc.

Gen. O'Dwyer is still worrying about some fat-headed organiza-tion sniping. But if LaGuardia comes in enthusiastically, by di-rectly supporting O'D. or by set-ting up third-party ticket, with his great influence in Jewish and Italian circles, then the double-dealing of some Democrats against O'Dwyer can't mean much. O'Dwyer's friends say: "When you buy votes or when you pay for deals, you never get your money's worth!"

If Burt Turkus is picked by the Republican party for appointment as Kings County District Attorney, the Democrats are planning to run Walter Hart against him in the ensuing election.

If you want to become a magis-trate under LaGuardia, one sure path is to be an assistant to the commissioner in the Sanitation Department. Three who have travelled this road are Henri Schwob, Edgar Bromberger and Matthew Diserio.

Veterans' organizations have decided that the best and fastest means of remedy-ing difficulties experienced in getting into State and NYC service is to ask Governor Dewey to include veteran problems on the agenda of the special session of the Leg-islature, expected to be called for September. The primary purpose of the session was to change the provisions for State aid to Municipalities.

Committees or the American Legion, the Disabled American Veterans, the Veterans of Forigh War, the Jewish War Veterans and other groups have been un-able to have conditions remedied through administrative channels.

Want Law to Open Exams One of the principal [points

raised was the refusal to let vet-erans take the second part of an examination, after they had passed the first part. They were in military service, so couldn't show up for the second part,. Now they find that the State Military Law does not require that they be given the tests, since, with a minor excepiton, the law does not opply to candidates, in open-com-petitive tests, but to promotion examinations.

The civil service commissions say they have not sufficient staff to conduct the numerous exams that would be required nor does the present law direct that the tests be give. [See also page 5.]

Job-Freeze Still In Effect for Public Workers

If you work for the Government—City, State or Fed-eral—you still are not free to leave your job for another. The job-freeze regulations apply just as strongly as they ever have, Steve Sheridan, Area Director of the War Man-power Commission in NYC, today informed The LEADER.

This means that an employee

Massachusetts is seeking a new State Commissioner of Public Welfare. The man ostensibly chosen was Patrick Tomkins, an employee of the New York State Department of Social Welfare. But Mr. Tompkins was in the Army. Finally he was located in Italy, a be-riboned veteran with 120 points to his credit. Hur-riedly he was brought back to the U. S. and discharged from the Army with the understanding that he would get the Massachusetts post. He went to Boston last week from his upstate New York home. And imagine his surprise when he had some difficulty get ting in to see the Governor, after having come all the way from Rome, and was told no. the job wasn't definitely his: three men were being considered. So on Fri-day he went back to New York, muttering to himself.

Watch for the appointment this week of Spencer E. Bates as new Btate Tax Commissioner.

may not leave his public post un-less he has received permission from (1) his agency, or (2) the U. S. Civil Service Commission if he is a Federal employee, or (3) the United States Employment Service, if he is a New York City or State employee, or (4) the War Manpower Commission itself.

Penalties Provided

The employee who leaves his job without permission may not, un-der the regulations, take another job for 60 days thereafter.. If he does, he and his new employer are subject to penalties. The only way out is to obtain a certificate of availability.

The regulations are, however, not absolutely rigid. A release may be obtained for reasons of

health, or if the employee is mov-ing out of the area, or if con-tinued employment will work undue hardship on him and his family.

A system of appeals is provided in the event the agency refuses a release to the employee. He is free, in the event of such refusal, to appeal to the United States Employment Service and to the War Manpower Commission, stat-ing his reasons for desiring a statement of availability.

There was no indication, Mr. Sheridan said, as to when the preesnt rules will be relaxed.

Goldman Honored

Postmaster Goldman received from Mrs. Harry D. Watts a Red Cross testimonial for organizing

blood donors.

More State News Pages 6, 7, 8, 9, 14

Postmaster Albert Goldman was awarded a certificate by the blood donor center of the New York Chapter, American Red Cross, in recognition of his coop-eration in organizing Postal em-ployees in the Bronx and Manhat-tan in a duration-of-the-war program.

Each weekday 30 Postal em-ployees donate blood for the arm-ed forces. Since inception of the program in March 1944, Postal employees have donated 8,052 pints of blood, representing new York's largest group contribution.

Mrs. Harry Dorsey Watts, Vice chairman of the center's recruit-ing committee, precented the cer-tificate.

Court Denies Overtime to The Firemen

Supreme Court Justice William C. Hecht dismissed the complaint in the case of NYC firemen seeking over-time pay, holding that their salary was fixed in the bud-get at $3,000, that the Ad-ministrative Code provides that they may be called on for extra tours of duty during emergencies, and that the plaintiffs could point to no statutory obligation requir-ing the City to pay them extra.

He held that the war created emergency conditions, due to man-power shortage, under which Fire Commissioner Walsh had author-ity to order the overtime work.

The suit was brought in the names of two members of the Uniformed Firemen's Association, John P. Crane and John W. Boni-fer. Since the commencement of the action Mr. Crane has been elected president of the UFA.

The firemen charged that the overtime saved the City $1,250,000 because of the extra work with-out compensation. Individually, the men demanded $172.80 for overtime from January 1, 1944, when the overtime order went in-to effect, until April 29, 1944. Had the plaintiffs won, payment for subsequent periods would have been cumulative.

Court Cites Nature of Duties

In his opinion Justice Hecht said:

"The 'overtime* referred to in the complaint consisted of addi-tional tours of duty required of firemen over and above the nor-mal requirements of the three-platoon system.

" I find no authority to support the plaintiffs' claim that when, in an emergency, they are com-pelled to work overtime, they are entitled to be paid for such ex-tra work. The very nature of their duties requires them to be in readiness to meet emergencies, and I can see no distinction be-tween an emergency created by an unusually large and widespread conflagration and one created by the potentially dangerous condi-tions existing in this city from January 1, 1944 to April 29, 1944 because of the war. Whatever adjustments, if any, are made in respect to giving firemen addi-tional time off because of extra service, is a matter of depart-mental policy."

The court quoted section 487a-8.0 of the Administrative Code and said. "The fixation of the plaintiffs' salary at $3,000 per annum (in that section) bars them from recovering any addi-tional compensation from the city for any services performed by; them."

Justice Hecht said that the provision of the Administrative Code establishing the three-pla-toon system makes a special ex-ception "in the event of confla-grations, riots or other similar emergencies—in which event such platoons or members thereof shall be continued on duty for such hours as may be necessary,".

Employees Back Bill To Pay All Who Lose U. S. Jobs

WASHINGTON, July 24.—The Kilgore unemployment compensation bill for U. S. workers during reconversion, is preferred by officials of Federal employee organizations over similar legislation introduced in the House by Representative Doughton' chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

Union chiefs believe the Kilgore ; measure offers far greater benefits for Federal workers, placing all under a standard system, includ-ing "war duration" employees. A Government worker who lost his job during reconversion would be paid up to 66 per cent of his earnings in a 13-week base period, estimated on the year preceding dismissal. The maximum payment would be $25 a week for 26 weeks of any calendar year.

Means More Money The Doughton bill, however,

provides unemployment compen-sation based on standards of the State in which a Federal worker is employed. Most State unem-ployment benefits are lower than 66 per cent of a worker's highest weekly pay check. This, of course, would mean less income from compensation for many Govern-ment workers.

It is proposed under both bills to supplement State money for unemployment benefit with Fed-eral cash to bring payments up to two-thirds of earnings, to the $25 maximum. States would have the right to reject the plan.

Union leaders also object to the Doughton provision that the pay-ments would not go into effect until 600,000 persons in the coun-try were receiving compensation.

United Federal Workers of

America (CIO) estimates that actual unemployment of 2,000,-000 people would have to prevail before any Government employee would get any benefits under the Doughton plan. They contend that the 600,000 would not represent all unemployed, as large groups of workers, including Federal em-ployees, are not covered by com-pensation and would not be re-ported as unemployed.

The unions state that the Kil-gore bill provides transportation for unemployed workers who get jobs in other cities. Union critics claim, however, that both bills fail to meet their demands for trans-portation home for all released Government workers after the war.

The American Federation of Government Employees (AFL) has announced its support of the Kil-gore bill, and National Federation of Federal Employees has express-ed its approval, adding that pas-sage of the Doughton bill would also be acceptable.

The measures were introduced in response to President Truman's request for legislation to ease the shock of Federal unemployment during reconversion.

Murray Discusses Coverage In a letter in response to a

brief submitted by the CIO, Sen-ator James E. Murray wrote that he is very much interested in proposals for extending social se-curity coverage to Federal Gov-ernment employees. However, he added:

"The Wagner-Murray-Dingell Bill does not include provisions for protecting the social security rights of war duration Govern-ment employees."

I t is his opinion that such pro-tection should be achieved by emergency legislation rather than in connection with "the compre-hensive expansion and improve-ment of the social security pro-gram embodied in the Wagner-Murray-Dingell Bill."

Such emergency legislation is contained in the bill introduced by Chairman Doughton. He be-lieves that no action will be taken on it unti l Fall.

"This apathetic attitude is ex-tremely dangerous to your chan-ces of getting unemployment in-surance when you leave your War-Service job" said the CIO. " I f you want such insurance, you must make yourself heard. Write to your Representative once a week. Tell him that it is impera-tive that the House take up and pass this legislation soon."

U.S. Job Boss Seen In Truman Plan For Employment

Special to The L E A D E R

WASHINGTON, July .24—Appointment of a job boss for the nation by President Truman is visualized if the President's proposed reorganization is adopted by Congress.

I t is expected that an all-serv-ice agency would be created un-der the President. Included might be the Civil Service Commission, the Treasury Procurement Divi-sion, the Public Buildings Ad-ministration and Budget Bureau. All Federal personnel, procure-ment, space, planning andimdge-tary work would be concentrated. The head of such an agency would naturally have considerable au-thority over all other depart-ments and agencies.

War Employees Protest Cut In Pay Under Federal Raise Law

Special to The LEADER

WASHINGTON, July 24—Some 5,000 War Department employees in New York and Philadelphia are protesting action of the War Department in using the new pay raises to revise salary rates downward.

Although not covered by the Federal Pay Act, it is charged that they have received substantial cuts in pay through adoption of the measure which gave raises to prac-tically everybody else.

Ungraded wage board work-ers near Washington and in War Department establishments on the West Coast were recently, told that their positions had been allocated at too high salary rates, but that downgrading would not mean pay cuts in the lower grades, because of the new raises.

Story Told to Patterson War Department has been ad-

vised by protesting workers that its policy of so downgrading thou-sands of employees is "contrary to the intent of Congress."

Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson was informed by

President Eleanor Nelson of United Federal Workers. (CIO) that "the wage cuts which the department is proposing would nullify, for hundreds of employees, the effect of the pay raise which Congress has just voted." She added: "The action is clearly contrary to the intent of Con-gress as expressed in Section 603 of the Pay Act, which provides that all workers in Government service, affected by the bill, shall receive increases of not less than $300 a year."

Layoff Plan Stressing Seniority Is Favored

By HAL MILLER Special to The L E A D E R

WASHINGTON, July 24'—A V-J Day and govern-ment layoffs daily come closer, Federal employee groups are seeking revision of Civil Service reduction-in-force regulations to give more emphasis to length of service than to efficiency.

The reduction-in-force regula-tions sets up a procedure based on the 1944 Veterans Preference Act to determine which employees are to lie laid off first.

Included in the procedure is a point system based on efficiency ratings and length of service, with the employee having most points being the last to leave.

Now the regulation gives only

one point for each year of service, but a "Good" efficiency rating is worth 80 points, a "Very Good" 88 points, an "Excellent" 96 points. Thus, an employee would have to work eight years to make up for the loss of points if his rating drops from "Excellent" to "Very Good" or from "Very Good" to "Good."

Veterans have top preference in each of the three retention groups, covering permanent, war service and limited appointment employees, in that order.

An argument for revision of the layoff regulations is that the new Federal Pay Act does favor length of service, by allowing a Govern-mnet worker to advance to the top of his grade on an efficiency rating of "Good" instead of the old requirements of "Very Good" or "Excellent."

at Aberdeen, Md., has been in-formed:

"The authority formerly grant-ed for administrative over-allo-cation of certain positions, in accordance with previously estab-lished policy, has been withdrawn because of the passage of the Fed-eral Employee Pay Act of 1945, which becomes effective 1 July, 1945.

" I n view of the fact that your position is one which falls within the group referred to, you are hereby officially notified that ef-fective 13 August, 1945, your grade and basic salary (not in-cluding overtime) will be changed from Clerk CAF-2, $1,704 per annum (which rates becomes ef-ftctive 1 July, 1945), to Clerk CAF-1, $1,506 per annum."

According to this, instead of being raised from $1,440 to $1,-704, as the act provides, this work-ers gets a $66 raise to the new rate of $1,506 for CAF-1 em-ployee.

The Pay Act says that $300 shall be the min imum pay raise.

Rating Fight In Congress To Continue

Special to The L E A D E R

WASHINGTON, July 24—Latest developments in charges by Rep-resentative Ed Rees of Kansas, ranking Republican member of the House Civil Service Commit-tee, that reduction-in-force reg-ulations discriminated against veterans:

1. The Civil Service Commis-sion points out that the regulation is based on the Veterans Prefer-ence Act of 1944, and accuses Mr. Rees of "indulging in unjustified and unsupported generalizations."

2. Mr. Rees says he will intro-duce a resolution to insure that veterans with efficiency ratings below "good" will not be dis-charged before non-veterans with higher ratings.

servicemen, was noted when the House Special Committee on Post-War Economic Policy and Planning advocated the creation within the Executive Office of the President of a Construction Policy Board.

The Committee believes that the construction industry will be a job-providing mainstay against unemployment after the war. A judicious program of Federal and State public works is proposed to aid the industry. Already the Federal Government has many plans for post-war projects.

The board would coordinate various Federal agencies now re-sponsible for public works. I t would afford a channel for ef-fective Federal-State cooperation on public works programs.

The creation of such a new agency would also provide more white-collar civil service jobs.

Post-war Policy Being Formed

The committee in a report rec-ognized that Federal financial assistance is necessary, not only for planning of municipal public works, but for actual construc-tion in the event of substantial post-war unemployment. In ad-dition, Federal responsibility for city redevelopment and low-ren-tal public housing is likewise rec-ognized.

The committee realizes that any Federal program must of necessity give effect to the views of the cities.

For more than a year the Con-ference of Mayors has faced the possibility of widespread unem-ployment in the transition period. I n testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee last Spring it was stated that the vol-lume of employment which cities could provide through locally-fi-naced public works could not be expected to meet a nationwide high level of unemployment.

'Acting' Fire Chief Jobs Stir Furore

The designation of 25 Acting Battalion Chiefs in the NYC Fire Department has created a furore rarely paral-leled in the department's history. The Civil Service Re-form Association is looking into the legality of the move. Vincent J. Kane, retiring president of the Uniformed Firemen's Association, is understood to have sent a tele-gram to responsible City officials protesting the action. The Uniformed Fire Officers Association is querying its members on whether legal action shall be taken.

The official view of the depart-ment is that a good deed was performed by the promotion of 25 Lieutenants to the position of Captain; and that since the Cap-tain quota was filled, the only al-ternative was to put 25 senior men in the rank to another position. No list is in existence for the po-sition of Battalion Chief. So, the argument goes, the only alterna-tives was to give to the Captains the title of Acting Battalion Chief, without an increase in sal-ary. The 25 senior Captains in the various battalions were se-lected for the new appointments. Several turned down the offers, and men of lesser seniority were selected in their places.

"Designated" Not "Promoted" The order naming the new Act-

ing Battalion Chiefs contained this information: " In accordance with Certificates No. C-236 and S-310, both dated July 12, 1945, issued by the Director ol" the Budget, the following named Cap-tains are hereby designed Acting Battalion Chiefs, at their present compensation, namely ($4,500) $4,920 per annum . . ."

Note the word designated. It do*"; not mean promoted.

Sudget Director Thomas J. Patter-son: His action in creating a bud-get line for the new title of Acting Battalion Chief is stirring up plenty of controversy in the

NYC Fire Department.

'Acting' position in which the member merely acted temporarily in a higher .'ank, maintained his original status and received no change in title."

They're Listed Separately The latest quota of t h j depart-

ment lists the newly-designated appointees separately. The full quota, for all ranks follows:

F IRE QUOTA (JULY 20) Title Allowed Serving

Chief of Department 1 1 Fire Marshall 1 1 Chief Medical Offieer 1 I Medical Officers 11 11 Deputy Chiefs HI 56 Battalion Chiefs 128 118 Acting Battalion

From the figures of the men now serving must be subtracted the number of those in military service. Here's the list: Deputy Chiefs Battalion Chiefs Acting Battalion Chiefs Captains Lieutenants Pilots Marine Engineers Firemen 1617

That's a total of 1,702 men in | service. The figures are given ex-actly as received from the Fire Department on July 20.

POLICE CALLS Special Military Promotion Tests For Sergeant Cause Discussion

The latest subject of hot discussion around the precinct houses is the business of "special military" examinations being given to men who return from service after having missed the last Sergeant exami-nat ion. . *

Some of the men who have al- P n U r p T ipntpnnnt F m i n n e l K l i n e

ready taken special military tests E m a n u e l K l m e » complain that the qui?; the Munic-ipal Civil Service Commission gave them was too tough, and that some consideration should be given to the fact that they have been in i kitchen for the Police Depart-military service and are a little bit ment.

rusty on police matters. On the other hand, some of the

patrolmen on the eligible list for promotion to sergeant are a bit peeved when the returned vet hops on the list ahead of them.

The men who pass the "special" test are inserted on the list ac-cording to the grade they make.

Some Worry About Promotion

The men who are moved back see their chances for promotion vanishing.

A few of the men on the ser-geant list, knowing that previous civil service examinations are on file at the Commission, have walked over to 96 Duane St., the Commission's Record Room, to see what kind of a test the veterans were given. There they learned that the Commission has ordered that these special examinations be placed in a special file, not to be seen except by someone who took the test.

Mobile Kitchens For Cops on Duty?

Some months ago, Police Calls ran a story advocating mobile kitchens for policemen assigned to arduous, time-consuming duty. The suggestion created a lot of comment. Here is one letter from

"At large gatherings, such as demonstrations, parades and the like, large details are required to police the affair. I n most in-stances the men are required to remain on duty for long periods of time. They are given a meal period of thirty minutes; how-ever, in many instances this is not sufficient because of the dis-tance they are required to travel from their posts to a restaurant and return.

"For example, on assignment at places such as Central Park. Madison and Park Avenues, Riv-erside Drive and similar locations, there are no restaurants within several blocks. This necessitates the officers' going without a meal, asking for additional time or overstaying their time and run-ning a chance of being caught, by a superior officer and pun-ished. I think that it was Gen. George Washington who stated that 'An Army fights on its stom-ach.' This being true, police offi-cers must eat in order to per-form efficient police duties.

"There are several ways in which this proposition could be financed and operated. As a prac-tical method, I suggest that it be financed by the officers through

(Continued on Page 15)

An important, - question is whether a new budget line was created for the title Acting Bat-talion Chief, because such a line would mean <1> that t he new des-ignations are not considered tem-porary. to last only until such time as a new examination for Battalion Chief is held; and (2) that there is some substance to the claim of those men in the department who argue that this is an inroad upon tile merit sys-tem, opening the possibility of a new permanent rank of Acting Battalion Chief, with duties high-er than those of Captain, but filled without promotion examina-tion. At present, the Chief ranks in the Fire Department are filled by vompetitiove promotion exami-nation.

The LEADER learned in the Budget Director's Office that a new budget line had been created for the post. Budget Director Patterson acted on authority dele-gated h im by the Board of Esti-mate to modify the budget, with the concurrence of the Comp-troller.

Power Is Challenged But this power of the Budget

Director is seriously in question, according to H. Eliot Kaplan, ex-ecutive secretary of the Civil Service Reform Association. Mr. Kaplan points out that when a budget is made up, the City Coun-cil may reduce any of its con-tents. I f the Budget Director has unrestricted power to create new budget lines, the City Council's lawful power is thereby jeopard-ised, since it has been given no opportunity to say whether it concurs or not.

Mr. Kaplan feels, too, that "if all they'e done is merely to as-sign 25 Captains to act as Bat-talion Chiefs, there would be no vacancies in the Captain rank, ex-cept to theorize that a Captain assigned as an Acting Battalion Chief had left his position as a Captain. This is doubtful. When a man is acting in a higher title, he is still a member of the lower rank. I n this case, it's obviously so, since he continues to receive the old salary. You can't create the fiction that the man is no longer in the old rank by desig-nating a new one."

Mr. Kaplan says that the 25 Captains could have been promot-ed provisionally into the higher rank, at the higher salary, and an examination ordered to fill any vacancies existing in the Battalion Chief rank.

Exam Oi tiered. Cancelled The Civil Service Commission

file.s reveal, however, that an ex-ination in the rank of Battalion Chief had been ordered on April 9, 1943. and then cancelled on March 20, 194;i. No reason was given. The fact that no list for the rank of Battalion Chief is in existence, and no test in view, has given rise lo much disquietude among officers who feel their

changes of promotion are being harmed. This test needn't wait until the end of the war. they say, because only 17 captains are now on military leave.

Wage Cutting?

The opinion was also expressed , that by creating the new title, and by failing to hold a promo-tion examination, the department was in effect obtaining the serv-ices of Battalion Chief at Cap-tains' pay. Some men in the de-partment looked upon it as a budgetary money-saving device.

The LEADER checked with the State Civil Service Commission to see whether anything in the civil j service law reflected upon this j problem. An official of that agency said: "There is nothing to prevent the Fire Department from putting up these men temporarily in the 'acting' title, if they can show they need them. But a promotion examination would have to be scheduled in the near future." | This official was not aware at the | time that a new budget line had been created by the Budget Direc-tor.

"Acting" Isn't "Permanent"

In seeking to learn whether the Acting Battalion Chiefs could at

any future date be covered in as permanent Battalion Chiefs, The LEADER inquired of the Munici-pal Civil Service Commission. The opinion of Commissioner Ferdi-nand Q. Morton is that "there is no rule whereby an 'acting' em-ployee" can be covered into the permanent title.

Commissioner Esther Bromley, of the same agency, says that all the Civil Service Commission did was to certify the list, has no further knowledge, and does not pass on the need of filling jobs, which is up to the department. The Commission's next official knowledge of the situation, she continued, would come only when the payroll is in.

UFO Acts

The Uniformed Fire Officers Association, in response to a de-luge of protests from its members on the i.s.sue, sent a letter to all officers in the department. Said the UFO Executive Board, in part:

"A savage attack is once again being directed against the Merit

j System. . . . The UFO favors I promotions and suggested that the quota for Captain be perma-

| nently increased in order to create j legal, vacancies for these mem-bers. . . . If the precedent of

A five-day Week is in effect, with the excep-tion that each employee must put in one Saturday a month. The new schedule has been generally well received in the department.

Discrimination

Instances of discrimination have not been numerous in the agency. There have been a few complaints, however, and the J new Commissioner told a LEAD 11 j reporter that a recent bulletin to; the staff on the subject was

j "meant to keep bigotry from rais- j ing its head. It has no place in a i Welfare Department," he said.! Mr. Harison has informed his! staff:

"Now that the government of the United States is about to en-gage in a compact for the purpose of preserving peace throughout the world—a compact based upon the principle of equal opportunity and security for every individual without regard to religion, race color or national origin. If this is to be accepted by the divers peo-ples of the world, and if it is to succeed in its purpose, it becomes incumbent upon each one of us as

; an American citizen to acknowl-edge anew his acceptance of this principle. Furthermore, every em-ployee of the Department. . . .

i should accept as an additional i personal responsibility the neces-i sity of adhering strictly to this democratic principle both in word and action. The necessity to ob-serve the rules of democratic con- j duct is particularly binding upon u;>, whose principle function is to ,

total caseload of the de-

partment is now approximately ' 93.000, and it has remained stable i for more than a year. However, I an ominous wind is beginning to creep over the caseload estimates,

i The Municipal Lodging House, a barometric index of forthcoming

; changes in caseload, has recently had a rise in its clientele. The reason: loosening of the labor market, with the resultant release of the aged, the handicapped, and the less competent. This forebodes a eoming more general increase in unemployment.

What He Looks Like Mr. Harrison is a very slight, grey-

haired man with a soft voice and a dry wit. He has a "distinguish-ed" look but he puts on no airs. He has been director of the Com-mittee on Youth and Justice of the Community Society of New York. During the last six months of 1944. he served as consultant to the Board of Justices of the Domestic Relations Court. He has been deeply interested in delin-quent children and, with Pry or McNeill Grant, has written a book on the subject. His social interests vary widely, and among other things he is President of the Al-coholic Foundation, an organiza-tion devoted to the interests of the Alcoholic Anonymous movement. He has made special studies for the New York City Police Depart-ment. He has also participated in Harvard Law School's Survey of Criminal Justice Administration, under the direction of Felix Frankfurter.

Now U.S. Citizens, So 8 Subway Men Will Get Back Pay

A controversy as old as the subways under New York City's ownership has come to an end. The question in-volved: Should the City pay the claims of employees who had been dismissed for non-citizenship, and then re-hired after they had obtained citizenship ?

A relatively large number of the subway men had been non-citizens when the lines were privately op-erated. But when the City took over the underground transit fa-cilities, the law required that all the men working had to be citi-zens. Those who did not acquire citizenship were subject to dis-missal.

The controversy ended victori-ously for the men. The Transport Workers Union, which had inter-ested itself in their case, won from the City a determination favoring the men, who will re-ceive amounts varying from $61.47 to $508.72. The victory came when the Comptroller sent a leter to the Board of Transpor-tation, requesting that the board prepare payrolls on the claim of the eight men involved. The pay-ments are subject to deductions due the State for unemployment insurance, which several of the claimants collected during the period between dismissal and re-instatement.

The men: Edward Duffy, Motorman, BMT

Division; dismissed Oct. 15, 1941; Reinstated Nov. 5, 1941; amount allowed, $107.52.

John Fisher, Car Inspector, BMT Division; dismissed Oct. 15, 1941; reinstated Oct. 29, 1941, $61.47.

John Gay, Car Maintainer (F) BMT Division; dismissed Oct. 15, 1941; reinstated Oct. 31, 1941, $76.50.

Stanley Krupnick, Car Inspec-tor, IRT Division; dismissed Aug. 31, 1941; reinstated Sept. 24, 1941, $108.04.

Percy J . Marshall, Air Brake Maintainer, BMT Division; dis-missed Oct. 15, 1941; reinstated Nov. 12, 1941, $145.35.

John Piecychna, Trackman, BMT Division; dismissed Nov. 15, 19' ; reinstated Apr. 17, 1941, $ 5 7 2 .

Owen Duffy, Inspector of Serv-ice (Surface), BMT Division; dis-missed Jan. 15, 1941; reinstated March 28, 1941, $475.00.

Women Cleaners Get $60 Raise

About 60 female cleaners in the Department of Public Works will get a $60 increase in pay, bring ing their total to $1,200, as the result of a solution of a depart-ment pay problem worked out by Budget Director Thomas J. Pat-terson. Those benefited had been earning $1,140.

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Em-ployees (AFL) originally requested equalization, so that those getting $1,040 were brought up to $1,140. However, that left those who had been previously getting $1,140 without any increase. Therefore the $60 was asked, and granted

The union local expressed ap-preciation of the action of the Budget Director, especially as it claims to have made the original request. There was also union acknowledgment of official sup-port from within the department

Rindone Case Settled, Without Increment

The long court battle, Rindone v. Marsh, in which Welfare Mes-senger-Attendant Charles Rin-done brought legal action for an earlier effective date of appoint ment, has finally been settled.

The Corporation Counsel has advised the Municipal Civil Serv-ice Commission to correct its rec-ords to show Mr. Rindone's cor-rect date of appointment as May 31, 1941, instead of December 16 1941. However, efforts of Mr Rindone to obtain earlier Incre-ment dates have been denied by Justice Levy.

On November 17, 1944, at a con-ference between the Civil Service Commissioners and Robert H Schaffer and Helen Cassidy of the Corporation Counsel staff, it was decided not to appeal the case. As Mr. Rindone has not ap-pealed the Judge's decision on the increment date, the case is now ended.

The assigned goal of $275,000 was passed early.

Sanitation Dept. Extends Period Of Vacation

The NYC Sanitation Depart-ment has extended its vacation period until the first week in Oc-tober. This has been necessary, Sanitation officials explain, be-cause it would have been impos-sible to perform the job of street-cleaning properly with the avail-able force if too great a number were to go off on vacation at any given time. The average vacation period for Sanitation employees is three weeks.

Sanita, the vacation resort set up by Commissioner Wil l iam F. Carey exclusively for employees of the Sanitation Department and their families, has been running "full up" this summer. The "pull-manettes," which house Sanita vactioners, accommodate 125 families, with each family num-bering four to six people. The average total population of the resort is 1,000 people.

A new bakery has been built there this year, and now cakes, pies and rolls are furnished pip-ing hot to the customers. Bread still comes from the outside. The resort also sports its own dough-nut-making machine.

Fire Department Holy Name Soc. Honors Scholars

The Holy Name Society, Branch 141, of the NYC Fire Department, has announced the successful winners of scholarships offered semi-annually by the organiza-tion. The winners each attained the highest rating in special com-, petitive tests. The scholarship committee holds the tests for rela-tives of branch members. The winners are entitled to scholar-ships in various Catholic schools.

The successful candidates: Aquinas Hall High School for

Girls—Mary Haggerty, daughter of Fireman John M. Haggerty, Hook & Ladder Co. 21.

Fordham Prep School for Boys —James J . Briody, son of retired Battalion Chief Thomas Briody; the son decined the scholarship, having won one to Regis High School and the scholarship will go to the boy in second place, Allen J. Reilly, son of Fireman Thomas W. Reilly, Hook & Ladder Co. 23.

Secretarial Course for Girls, Holy Cross Academy—Rosemary Schubert, daughter of Fireman James E. Schubert, Engine Co. 76.

Charles A. Wilson is President of the Fire Department Holy Name Society; Joseph L. Melody is chairman of the Scholarship Committee, and the Rev. Joseph A. Doyle is moderator.

High Transit Jobs May Be Shifted

A proposal to take top transit jobs out of the competitive class of Civil Service and place them in the non-competitive class will be considered by the Municipal Civil Service Commission at a public hearing.

As non-competitive positions, the jobs would be filled by the Civil Service Commission through qualifying examinations instead of by competitive tests, according to the Civil Service Law which allows such action where com-petitive examinations are imprac-ticable.

Affected by the proposed change are the posts of Superintendent, Assistant General Superintendent and General Superintendent, in the Board of Transportation.

Salary ranges for these jobs are high — Assistant Superintendent, $6,001 to $8,000 a year; Superin-tendent. $8,001 to $10,000; Assist-ant General Superintendent, $10,-001 to $15,000; General Superin-tendent, $15,001 and over.

The change would apply only to future appointees.

Sanitation Employee Wins Valuable Book

Sanitation Commissioner Wil-liam F. Carey will present a much - autographed volume of John Hersey's "A Bell for Adano" to Mr. Ivins Cornelius, of the de-partment's Stores and Budget Unit tomorrow (Wednesday). The book, signed by Frederic March, the ac-tor, and the entire cast ploying in the Broadway version, goes to Mr. Cornelius as a reward for having sold more war bonds in the 7th Loan Drive than any other member of the Sanitation Department.

The drive was under the direc-tion of Harry Langdon, Chief Fiscal Officer of the Sanitation Department.

No. 1 Eligible Designed And Built Own House

Edward J. Schwarz isn't like most men, a total losa around the house. In fact, the missus finds him too handy, because it is often difficult to tear him away from his home tasks so that papa, mamma and the two kids can go out for an airing.

Mr. Schwarz is the man who distinguished himself the other day by placing first on the city-wide promotion list for Mainte-nance Man. He got 88 per cent, and isn't surprised,| because he's a carpenter by trade, and has been working for the city in that line for 18 years.

Designed and Built House There was one occasion when

that work for the city was inter-rupted, for the duration of his vacation plus three months, and that was when he built himself a house. Not only built it, mind you, but drew all the plans—just like a regular architect. And the neighbors say that the house does real credit to the Country Club neighborhood of the Bronx where it's located—1290 Lohengrin PI.

Mr. Schwarz bought all the ma-terial, did all the carpentry, in-stalled the incinerator, framed all the windows, laid all the trim, and supervised the labor on the brick work. His title may be La-borer in the Bronx unit of the Parks Department, but Mainte-nance Man will sound more ritzy. However, his pay is $1,920 now. The notice of examination Which triggered the eligible list he now heads said something about "$1,-500-$1,800." So Mr. Schwarz, if appointed, could suffer a pay re-duction while being honored with a promotion.

nently in his life twice. The first time was the very day he was

180 Veterans Get Jobs With City

About 120 discharged veterans have been appointed to city jobs from special military eligible lists, the Mu-nicipal Civil Service Commission records showed today. Besides, about half as many have been appointed from

regular eligible lists to wrhich their names were aclcted. The commission *is conducting

an increasing number of medical and physical examinations for veterans each week.

Besides appointment in the title, of the eligible list, other appoint-ments are made to "appropriate" jobs, and also provisional ap-pointments if a qualified veteran

>is not now working. The provi-sional jobs are fill-ins until the commission's work on a veteran's case is completed, which takes about a month. They do not of-fer permanency.

Few Veterans Disqualified Two types of medical and physi-

cal examinations are given: 1, to every dischargee who is on a list; 2, to every applicant claim-ing disabled veteran preferance. Few veterans are disqualified for medical or physical reasons. Vet-erans, as well as all others, must take a psychiatric test if the job to be filled involves direct pub-lict contact or exercise of the police powers, which would in-clude Patrolman, Fireman, Sani-tation Mai., Correction Officer and all jobs in which the employee has to carry a pistol.

The three most popular lists are affected most by the return of veterans—Sanitation Man, Patrol-man and Fireman (F.D.). The Sanitation Man list expired, but veterans have until two years after their discharge to get on a list for this title. The Fireman list won't expire until December 15 next and the Patrolman list not until September, 1946. These two lists are practically ex-hausted, so the veteran additions represent the only practical ap-pointment possibilities.

83 Per Cent Granted • Of the disabled veteran prefer-

ence claims presented to the com-mission, 83 per cent have been granted. This preference entitles the disabled veteran to go to the top of any eligible list on which

his name appears. However, in some instances the type of work for which the list was promul-gated can not be performed by the disabled veteran, in the com-mission's opinion, in which case he is offered an "appropriate" job, one for which he is held qualified because he passed the other examination.

Paul M. Brennan is chief of the commission's medical and physical division.

Reference Library Guides Vacationers

City employees who are spend-ing their vacation at home can get help in planning their time-off activities from the Municipal Ref-erence Library on the 22nd floor of the Municipal Building on Park Row.

A bibliography of "What To Do" activities has been prepared by Rebecca Nankin and lists many different ways to enjoy the City.

Also those employees who are going away can get information at the library. Booklets describe the vacation offerings of differ-ent sections of New York and nearby states.

TEST OPEN TO WELFARE

The Municipal Civil Service Commission-has included the De-partment of Welfare along with the Department of Housing and Buildings in the forthcoming pro motion examination for Inspector of Housing, Grade 3.

Veterans Resentful At Exam Refusals

2.

Under pressure from returning veterans who are not given an opportunity to take the second part of an exam-ination in which they passed the first part, Mayor La-Guardia is studying anew the possibility of giving the veterans this opportunity. Veterans have informed the Mayor that they don't consider the present city policy is fair or just to them.

It would require practically dou-bling the present staff of the Mu-nicipal Civil Service Commission, which is about 150, and necessi-tate frequent examinations, he has been told. It is expected that the Mayor will confer with Bud-get Director Thomas J. Patter-son on the subject as soon as the Budget Director returns from his vacation. The Mayor has already conferred with members of the Civil Service Commission.

The commission's stand is that there is no express authority in the Military Law for giving the requested parts of open-competi-tive examinations missed by can-didates, especially as they are still candidates, contrasted with persons already on eligible lists, who need to pass only a qualify-ing test, such as practical or oral, before appointment.

23,000 Absent Section 246 (5) of the Military

Law requires that the missed part of a test be given to veterans only in promotion examinations, except that qualifying tests in open - competitive examinations must be given, the commission holds.

There are reported to be 236 eligible lists on which appear about 70,000 names, and records indicate that about 23,000 others were absent from one or another part of the examinations from which these lists resulted. The commission has no way of telling just how many of these absences were due to military duty.

One discharged veteran re-ceived a notice from the com-mission in 1941 saying, in re-spect to the medical and com-petitive physical test for Fireman (F.D.): "No postponements will be given for any cause except mil-itary service." This was rubber stamped on a post card. The can didate gave military service as his reason and received a letter two weeks later stating: "As you have an MS-1 form on file, it will pro-tect your rights as far as a spe-cial examination is concerned."

He has an overseas service rec ord. Discharged at the end of last month, he sought permission to take the competitive physical.

Mrs. Bromley's Reply Mrs. Esther Bromley, member

of the commission, wrote him: "We are unable to give you a

Sample Answers Given For Sergeant Exam

Answers to 5 of the 10 sample questions in a Police Sergeant

test were given in last week's issue. The other 5 answers, from 6 to

10 inclusive, appear this week. No questions were published in the

July 10 Issue. 1. Testimony should be without

any trace of personal interest. The facts only should be testified to, so that the trial examiner can arrive at a just verdict.

2. The "travelling refresher courses" get to the officer with-out inconvenience on his part. They do not upset his routine. These courses keep him alert, in-formed and up-todate, and come to him without interfering with his duty or tours.

3. Attentive and alert while on the payroll. Constant observation of all persons, passerbys and ve-hicles. No conversation except in course of duty. Wear no gloves. Guns in hands or released from safety catch of holster.

4. Remain cool and calm. Act swiftly In analyzing the situa-tion. Summon aid and assistance. Render first aid if necessary, not to get excited and show public he is trained to meet emergency. Allay all fears tending to cause turmoil by removing the cause if possible, thus tending to stabil-ize others because they feel con-fident in his ability by his calm assurance in handling the emer-gency.

5. Abolition of interstitial areas and instituting organized play groups and community centers where juveniles may gather and be under better influence and character-building supervision.

McGrew at Home in His New Job

know, this test was competitive and involved a rather compli-cated setup. There is no legisla tion at the present moment con cerning men in your situation.

"Undoubtedly you could be come a Temporary Fireman until the .end of the war. After the war is %over we will give open-competitive examinations again. At that time you will be able to compete and no doubt your status as a veteran will help you.

"We are ever' so sorry to have to say that there is nothing that we can do at this time. We do not want you to feel that we are unappreciative of your services overseas. There are many men who have missed out on oppor-tunities of taking the second part of tests "for Patrolman and Fire-man. It would be very difficult to give special tests for all the boys concerned. No two of them will be back in town, available to take the test, at the same time."

Another candidate, who passed the mental test for Patrolman, receive the same notice of im-possibility of giving the second part of the exam, as did many others.

Sanitation Jobs Offered Returning veterans are being

offered provisional jobs as San-itation man, class B, at $2,040. A chauffeur's license is necessary. Applications are recived at the Department of Sanitation, seventh floor, 125 Worth Street, Manhat-tan. Non-veterans are accepted, also.

Colonel Edward J. McGrew, for-mer Deputy Commissioner of Pub-lic Works, now Commissioner, feels very much at home in his new job.

The new Commissioner went into military service in February, 1941, with his reserve rank of Captain and rose to Colonel. A large part of his military career was spent in the Special Plan-ning Division of the General Staff, working on future plans for industrial demobilization, a position which resembles in some respects his future work with DPW.

He is a graduate of Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology, 1926, and entered the City service in 4934, in the Department of Plant and Structures, which was later incorporated into the De-partment of Public Works. At the time he left for military duty he was senior Deputy Commis-sion of the department.

"Getting back here is like com-ing home again," he said, "and it's a pleasure to be back in the office where I know so many of the people by their first names."

The employees welcomed him.

TESDAY, JULY 24, 1945

Federal Employees Must Deploy for New Action NOW that Federal employees have won their salary

adjustments, it becomes imperative l'or them to de-• ploy for action upon an advanced battlefield—the struggle for unemployment compensation.

Not that this is a completely novel business in the lives of Federal employees. Ever since the principle of unemployment compensation was adopted for employees in private industry, the Government's own staff has con-tended that they, too, deserve equal consideration. As the war against Germany closed, and the imminence of large-scale reduction in the Federal civilian forces became obvious, the impulse for some measure of protection against the chill ghost of joblessness throbbed with deeper insistence. And now, as the United States and her Allies bring Japan to the point of knock-out, the necessity of protecting those men and women who will lose their jobs at war's end begins to pound strongly upon the public consciousness.

This much must be said of the Federal "duration em-ployee." He took his job with the Government, stuck to it, suffered its vicissitudes, often at great loss to himself. Had he chosen instead to enter private industry, he might have fared better financially, and upon a slackening of employment would have been entitled to the cushion of unemployment insurance during his personal reconversion period. But as an employee of the United States Govern-ment, he finds himself in the paradoxical position of hav-ing been penalized during the war period by working at lower pay (and often for longer hours) ; and now, if his job goes a-glimmering, he finds that he is left without any security at all. He's just thrown out upon his own resources, and the Government washes its hands of any responsibility toward him. This seems palpably unfair. We are no farther advanced than we were after the end o-f World War I. when Bernard Baruch personally povided the cash so that the employees in his agency would be able to return to their homes.

Whether Federal employees achieve unemployment compensation via a bill directed for them alone, or via a larger bill covering all classes of workers is, in the view of this newspaper, immaterial. The important point is that Federal workers should not suffer as against the social gains awarded to workers in private industry. The Federal employee is subject to the same insecurities, and therefore deserves the same protections. There is now before the Senate a bill introduced by Senator Harley M. Kilgore of West Virginia, and sponsored jointly by Sena-tors Wagner (N. Y.), Murray (Mont.), Thomas (Utah), Guffy (Pa.) and Pepper (Fla.), which lifts all present unemployment benefits and covers Federal employees. The essentials of this bill have the backing of President Truman. It would be wise for Federal employees to get behind it and push. The measure has, among other ad-vantages, the less tangible one of including Federal em ployees generally, as part of the body of working citizens, rather than as a class apart, to be treated differently and often with less regard.

WACAT ION RULES have Just been issued in connection with the » Federal Employees Pay Act of 1945, but, as they are not com-

plete in certain respects, the missing links are supplied herewith: —A federal employee on vaca'ion may discontinue writing a

letter twice a week to his Representative In <

Congress about the Murray-Wagner-Dingell bill. This * : i l give the lawmakers a bit. of a vacation, too, in line with the American policy of equality.

—In conversations with other guests at Summer resorts it will not be necessary to denounce

your supervisor, restate your grievances about office pets being given fast promotions and deserv-ing workers like yourself being called up for inter-views after which nothing ever happens. Satur-days will not be charged against annual leave or sick leave even if you don't continue the tirade when vacationing.

—You may leave the dining room, porch or even your own room at the

place where you're staying, with-out asking anybody's permission. In that way vacation differs from work. Remember that Uncle Sam wants you to have a good time, but only for twelve consecutive working days a year.

Objects to Reclassification Editor. The LEADER:

The passage of the Downey Bill into law means a cut in salary for some Federal workers. This is true at Atlantic Overseas Air Technical Service Command, Port of Newark, Newark, N. J . The Classification Unit, Personnel Di-vision, has decided to reclassify downward hundreds of Federal employees and then give the em-ployee the benefit of the law at a lower classification. This proce-

dure is contrary to the spirit of the law which was intended to aid the Federal employee in meeting the rise in the cost of living. The Classificaion Unit at Newark, be-lieves that the people were not in their correct classification. So, they waited until July 1, when the law went into effect, to inform people who were in their present classification for periods from 12 to 18 months of the reclassifica-tion.

FEDERAL WORKER .

WHEN QUITTING BECOMES RESIGNATION A State or City employee who voluntary leaves the service for

the purpose of entering private employ or entering a hospital to care lor his health or for any other reason, without prior approval, is deemed to have voluntarily resigned from his position in public service. It is not necessary to effect this result by an employee submitting a formal or written resignation.

An employee may not determine on his own initiative that he is on -leave" without obtaining a formal leave of absence from the appointing authority. An employee who has voluntarily separated himself from the service has the privilege of reinstatement to the «ame extent as one who has formally resigned. Such reinstatement is not a matter of right but entirely discretionary with the depart-ment head and subject to the approval of the civil service com-mission. (See alao story on page 1J

ice.

He is Joseph F. O'Hern. He has a personalized and friendly way of running an office. He in-sists on simplicity in organization and is a stickler for courtesy and cooperation among his employees. He sees that every one knows his or her job—does the instructing himself, if necessary—and confers responsibility on deserving work-ers.

A War Veteran Himself The Area Office is a streamljned

production unit designed to give expeditious service to those per-sons being medically discharged from service. Mr. O'Hern has in his expanding organization 93 employees. Of these 17 are World War I I veterans, 7 are wives of World War H veterans, 15 are sisters or parents of World War I I veterans and one is a widow of a World War I I veteran. There are 15 World War I veterans on his sta f̂. He is such a veteran himself.

"The World War I I veterans have demonstrated unsual inter-est in their industriousness, at-tention to duty and ability to grasp knowledge of all phases of their work," said Mr. OHern. "All veterans and their relatives show added interest in assignments and accomplishments."

Runarounds for veterans or anybody else are strictly taboo. Fast, accurate action has won him much gratitude from veterans.

Born in North Adams, Mass., where he received his early edu-cation at St. Joseph's High School and Bliss Business College, Mr. O'Hern matriculated at George-town University School of Law in Washington, D. C., in 1917, simul-taneously with his first civil serv-ice job. After serving in the Army in World War I he completed his legal education.

He obtained a civil service ap-pointment as a Claims Examiner in the War Risk Insurance Bu-reau in 1920. He has been con-tinuously employed in the Claims (now Adjudication) Division since then.

Up He Goes He was assigned to the Balti-

more Office as an Adjudicator in 1924. and was transferred in 1927 to the Vermont office, in Burling-ton. He was promoted to Adjudi-cation Officer. He served in the Central Office until December, 1934, when he was assigned as Adjudication Officer, Veterans Administration, Lyons, N. J . While in this assignment Mr. O'Hern worked under the supervision of M. E. Head, whose ability Mr. O'Hern valued highly.

The New Jersey station was a Combined Facility, which included a Regional Office and hospital fa-cilities. The hospital capacity ex-panded during his assignment from a bed capacity of 890 to a bed capacity of approximately 2,000. During this assignment, Mr. O'Hern acquired a consider-able knowledge of hospital man-agement and operation and medi-cal needs of the veteran.

He became well-known among service organizations in New Jersey, because of a well-earned reputation for personal service. It has always been Mr. O'Hern's be-lief that satisfactory and evpedi-tious service is rendered through personal contact.

The designation of Mr. O'Hern as manager of the Area Office No. 2 was the choice of George E. Brown, Director, Veterans Claims Service, and Major O. W. Clark, Assistant Administrator in Charge of Compensation, Pensions and Vocational Rehabilitation.

The State Employee

•y CLIFFORD C. SHORO

President, The Association of State Civil Service Employees

In tenting ''The State Employee' as • regular weekly feature ol The LEADER, Clifford L. Shoro discusses all and any matters of interest te employees ol the State of New York. Ue is writing this cotumn with complete leewayr to express his own views.

Hours and Leaves That Satisfy THE ASSOCIATION has again urged upon the Civil Service

Commission to act promptly to establish uniform hours, vacation, sick leave and other rules affecting all State employees so that the inequities of present lack of system under which many divergent personal views and prejudices prevail, may be eradicated in the interest of high morale throuhgout the service.

We have pointed out again the wide discrepancy in hours worked as between the institutional and administrative office employees. The year-round present administrative office practice as to hours per day and weeR is generally satisfactory; that in institutional service generally unsatisfactory. Obviously, those institutional office employees classified and paid the same as administrative department employees, should be accorded the same hours of work. If operating conditions make this impossible, then the employees should be paid for the overtime.

The subject of religious holidays is one that should be dealt with in a definite manner by the Commission. The Association has suggested what it believes to be the only fair way of handling this matter, namely, to add to the regular annual vacation leave a definite number of days which would be taken by the worker for religious observance, as desired, within the needs of the service.

Twenty-Five-Year Retirement THOSE WHO LOOK forward to technological advances stimu-

lating production, see shorter hours and earlier retirement of workers in business and industry as a natural outcome. There is no doubt that we must keep our sights adjusted to all coming economic and industrial developments that may bring adjustments in the public employment field.

The prison guards of the State have felt that the character of their duties and the environment in which they work entitles them to retirement after twenty-five years of service. Now they are ready to make a strong stand for such retirement. They find precedent in the twenty-five-year plan now in effect for State Police. They intend to have an actuarial survey made as an aid to convinoing the public and the Legislature of the justice of their plea. The Association, at its last annual meeting, asked liberalization of the State's Retirement System and the twenty-five-year retirement plan was among progressive recommendations of the Retirement Liber-alization Committee. The report of this Committee printed in The

^LEADER and The State Employee received widespread attention and was hailed as the most constructive plan of broader social security concepts for public employees that has been suggested since the State Retirement System was established in 1921. There is need for legislative action and the way has been charted.

Typically Useful Serince A short time ago, I commented in this column on -the very

worthwhile group life insurance which State employees have made possible for themselves through their unity in the Association of State Civil Service Employees. I would like now to call attention to the group plan of accident and sickness insurance available because of the same unity of membership. This plan was developed by the Association insurance committee and established in 1936 by ar-rangement with the Commercial Casualty' Insurance Company and TerBush and Powell, Inc., Schenectady, N. Y. It was adopted to provide low-cost insurance in case of accident or sickness suffered by members of the Association. Since Its inception, over a million and one-half dollars have been paid in benefits. In many cases the insurance, in addition to its reasonable cost, would not have been purchaseable at all by the individual. The premiums are payable through convenient payroll deduction plan. The details as to obtain-ing an accident and sickness policy will be sent to any State worker gladly, on application to Association Headquarters. I See also article in this issue.—Ed.] The splendid cooperation of State employees in their Association afford,s a fine example of common sense and a most substantial promise of progressive attention to employee wel-fare throughout the years. State employees have proven to the world that they know the value of cooperative action of a large and active membership. They have supplemented attention to salaries, hours of work, promotions, health leaves, retirement and the con-tinuous contacts with executive, legislative and administrative de-partments ol" government essential to such things, with group insur-ances purely as extra services helpful to State employees.

Shoro, Curry Defend Hospital Workers Against Attack by Dr. J ohn R. Ross

Special to The L E A D E R

ALBANY, July 24—Clif-ford C. Shoro, President of the Association of State Civil Service Employees, and Leo F. Gurry, President of the Association of Employ-ees of the Department of Mental Hygiene, last week strongly defended employees in that department. And it appeared at this writing that the repercussions of their statement would be wide. The joint statement of the two men came as a result of an, attack by Dr. John R. Ross, Superintend-ent of Poughkeepsie State Hospital, upon employees of the institution. Dr. Ross' statement had been printed by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt in her syndicated col-umn "My Day." Mr. Shoro and Mr. Gurry demanded an investi-gation of the charges.

Dr. Ross is reported to have said that conscientious objectors who have been working at the hos-pital had "raised the standards for the care of patients, and that they had been of tremendous help in disclosing certain practices which existed there and about which he never before could get any real evidence."

Shoro-Gurry Statement The joint statement of Mr.

Shoro and Mr. Gurry follows: "The recent report and the edi-

torial in 'The Poughkeepsie New Yorker' reveals a most amazing attack by Dr. Ross upon the char-acter and efficiency of the workers at Hudson River State Hospital. Apparently Dr. Ross has indicted the personnel at his hospital on

the statements made to him by conscientious objectors imported into the State after they had re-fused to serve their nation ir its war efforts,

"Employees at Hudson River State Hospital, as at the other hospitals of the State, have been doing one of the most splendid jobs in the whole history of the hospital service. Greatly under-manned, the 20,000 hospital em-ployees in the Mental Hygiene in-stitutions have been carrying the burden of hospital care for thou-sands of mentally ill,—and work-ing long hours to do it. The un-supported word of conscientious objectors or other outside critics of the institution should not be accepted to discredit either the care New York State gives to its wards nor as an unchallenged in-dictment of New York State Civil Service employes, when the facts can and should be ascertained by Dr. Ross in the proper way through sound personnel administration within his hospital.

We Crave Investigation

"Employees of Hudson River State Hospital do not fear any honest investigation as to the efficiency of their work. They are unwilling, however, to be made the victims of gossip by conscientious objectors or others.

"We shall request a complete investigation of the situation at Poughkeepsie. It is high time that loose statements regarding the efficiency of the civil service of this State were stopped and the true facts made available to the people."

Mrs. Roosevelt's Story Relating in her column that she

had gone to the Hudson River State Hospital at Poughkeepsie to speak to a group of conscientious

objectors, Mrs. Roosevelt went on to say:

"The superintendent of the hos-pital <Dr. Ross) told me that they had undoubtedly raised the stand-ards for the care of the patients, and that they had been of tre-mendous help in disclosing certain practices which existed there and about which he never before could get any real evidence.

"He said that if they could stay longer they probably would improve the standards even more."

Newspaper Indictment Commenting on this the Pough-

keepsie paper (The New Yorker) said: "Few more serious indict-ments against state care of the insane have been levelled than that of Mrs. Roosevelt in her syn-dicated column in the Poughkeep-sie New Yorker."

The editorial went on to say that "the public cannot help but draw the conclusion th.it Dr .Ross had believed misuse of patients had existed for some time but had not corrected conditions because he had been unable to obtain evidence against the paid em-ployees."

Sr><-< ial to The L E A D E R

Dismissed Attendant Reinstated ALBANY, July 24—Lewis Den-

ton, an attendant at Poughkeep-sie State Hospital, has been re-instated after being dismissed by Dr. R. Ross, director of the in-stitution.

Mr. Den Ion brought his case before the State Civil Service Commission, which found the evidence against him was too flimsy to sustain the dismissal.

Wage Tie-In With Living-Cost Index To Be Sought by State Association

W h a t State Employees Should Know M M ^ M M H M M M By THEODORE BECKER mmmmmmmmmem^mmsammtm

ALBANY, July 24—All indications point today to another en-deavor, by the Association of State Civil Service Employees, to inter-est the forthcoming Legislature in a new type of employee-salary plan: one based on the rise and fall of the cost-of-living index. The Association has for several years sponsored a bill recording this wage formula. And feelings among Association leaders queried by this reporter are that the principle is still sound, and must again be brought before the Legislature.

Basically, the formula is this:

Answers to Questions on Civil Service

Laivs Passed at the Last Session

TEN questions on laws enacted during the last session of the Legislature were published last week. The answers are given

herewith: for lay-off purposes. Accordingly, seniority in such cases is to be figured from the date of original appointment and not merely from the date of reinstatement in serv ice.

—False. Under the Ostertag Law (Chapter 302) the sal

aries of Feld-Hamilton positions were raised to a $1,200 minimum only if permanent. Positions not covered by Sec. 40 of the Civil Service Law do not have a per-manent $1,200 minimum salary. Such posiitons would include tem-porary, part-time, or seasonal ones and those in the exempt class. However, seasonal posi-tions, and labor class positions in the exempt class, may be allocated to a Section 40 grade by the Sal-ary Standardization Board. They may thereby fall into the $1,200 minimum class.

—False. An exempt employee with one year's service, ap-

pointed to a Feld-Hamilton posi-tion, is permitted to retain his old salary if it is more than the minimum of the new position,

—True. The Hammond Law (Chapter 292) amended Sec-

tion 14-b of the Civil Service Law to provide that in addition to the prohibition against discrimination on account of race, color or creed there shall be no discrimination because of national origin.

—False. The special rights relative to removal on charges

and to transfer on lay-off which applied to exempt volunteer fire-ment and World War I veterans were granted also to World War I I veterans by the Ostertag Law (Chapter 46). Now all three cate-gories of employees are covered —exempt volunteer firemen, vet-erans of World War I and veterans of World War II.

3—True. The ruling of the Court of Appeals, in the case of

Doering v. Hinrichs, to the effect that seniority for lay-off purposes must be reckoned from the date of reinstatement following a res-ignation, was superseded by the provisions of the Lupton Law (Chapter 725) which provided that a resignation followed by re-instatement within one year shall not constitute a break in service

that the State pay salaries based on real wages rather than money wages. As explained by Dr. Frank L. Tolman, of the State Educa-tion Department, "Real wages mean what the money wage will buy. Real wages will buy the same any year. When prices are stable, money wages and real wages hang together. When prices go either up or down, they part company. High prices mean low real wages and low prices mean higher pur-chasing power if the money wage remains the same."

Bonus vs. True Wage

The State Legislature, with the concurrence of the administra-tion, voted wartime bonuses at the 1945 session. These bonuses must be renewed annually, and they have no bearing upon base pay. While, in the view of the State Association, the bonuses helped the employees, they do not

bear upon the long-time wage problem. Again to quote Dr. Tol-man:

"When New York State buys labor in the open market it gen-erally pays much higher rates than it pays its regular employees. With the present dollar worth less than 70 cents, our frozen money wages buy less and less."

How It Works

To determine real wages, econ-omists among the Association leaders say you increase or de-crease money wages to exactly the same extent as the prices of essential goods increase or de-crease. You use a cost-of-living index which records the general price rise of the common essen-tials that everybody has to buy. If the cost-of -living index shows, for example, that a dollar now buys the same amount of essen-tial goods that 70 cents would

6

visions of the Lupton Law (Chap-ter 4413) must not exceed the maximum salary of the new po-sition.

Military Law Changes —False. Service with the Amer-

ican Red Cross while with the armed forces of the United States on foreign service, not UNRRA service, is deemed mili-tary duty under Section 246 of the Military Law until July 1, 1946. This provision was made by the Ostertag Law (Chapter 137).

—False. The period within which a returning war vet-

eran may request reinstatement to his civil service position has, under the terms of the Manning Law (Chapter 215), been extended from 60 days to 90 days after the termination of his military duty.

False. Under the provisions of the Manning Law (Chapter

485) the determination of the ex-istence and termination of a tem-porary war—incurred disability, which extends the period of time within which a public employee on military duty may request re-instatement, is to be made by the Civil Service Commission having

8

in the case of an employee who is not in the exempt, non-com-petitive or competitive class, such determination is to be made by the officer or body having the power of appointment.

9—False. The right of a State employee, incapable of effi-

ciently perfoming the duties of his position by reason of war-in-curred injuries, to be transferred to a position paying the same salary, upon approval of the State Civil Service Commission, applies only to World War I I veterans and not to World War I veterans. This right was accorded by the Van Duzer Law (Chapter 493).

"J A—True. A State employee on military duty is entitled to

at least a passing grade on his efficiency rating, or if this is less than the average of his three prior ratings or in less than the rating covering the period imme-diately preceding his military leave, he is entitled to higher. But if the latter two ratings are less than passing, the employee is en-titled to at least a passing rating. This right was granted by Chap-ter 628 of the Laws of 1945, in-troduced in bill form by the As-

but such salary, under the pro- jurisdiction over his position, and 1 sembly Rules Committee.

buy in pre-war years, it takes $1.30 to stack up with the pre-war dollar. Under this formula, the State would have to increase base salary (not including bonus) about 30 percent for the employee to earn the same rate as formerly.

Nothing to Do With— All this, the Association adds,

has nothing to do with the ques-tion of a fair minimum wage of $1,500, determined by the State Labor Department as the mini-mum essential to health and a reasonable social life. It has nothing to do with overtime rates —the Association seeks time-£ nd-a-half—or extra compensation for hazardous jobs. It is concerned only with protecting the employee against the vicissitudes of cost-of-living fluctuations, with making his dollar worth a dollar.

Public Works Dept. Sets Up Safety Bureau

ALBANY, July 24—A new bu-reau, probably the first of its kind in the country, is being set up in State Public Works Department to work exclusively in the inter-ests of highway safety.

One of the features of this new bureau will be to safeguard the roads as a protection to motorists against highway defects which might result in accidents. Another will be to keep highway repair forces on their toes.

Vosburgh Heads Bureau S.T. (Tom) Vosburgh, of Rens-

selaer, since 1936 the chief in-vestigator of the claims bureau in the State Law Department, has been named by Public Works Commissioner Charles Sells to head the new bureau. Mr. Vos-burgh entered State service in 1906.

Cashin Declines Job With Army in Europe

Spc i i a l to The L E A D E R

ALBANY, July 24.—One of the State's most enterprising career employees, William E. Cashin, Acting Superintendent of the Vo-cational Institution for Boys at West Coxsackie, Greene County, declined an offer to become super-visor of identification activities with the Allied forces in Europe.

" I have assumed considerable responsibility with my job here in the State," he explained.

State Assn. Accident Insurance Plan Provides Broad Coverage at Low Cost

By CHARLES CARLISLE ALBANY, July 24.—For nine years now, State Employees have

enjoyed a low-cost Group Plan of Accident and Sickness Insurance. Many thousands of State employees are insured under this plan, and hundreds of them are receiving benefits every month from sicknss and accident. ! ~

Following is a summary of thr> benefits and broad coverages of this policy:

1. Accident and Sickness— 1st day accident for 5 years; 8th day sickness for 1 year.

2. Cost—very low. 3. Method of Payment—Payroll

deduction. 4. Individual policies may not be

cancelled except as- specifi cally stated in your policy.

5 Limited membership, group-buying power, cooperative ac-tion. Insuring Clause—

A. Accidental means (not required >.'

B. Violent and external (not required!.

$500.00 Principal Sum (in-eluded). M e d i c a l R e imbu r s emen t Clause for non-disabling acci-dents (included). Omission of Standard Provi-sions Numbers 16 and 17. Aerial navigation (covered). Hernia (covered >. Sexual disease (covered). Female complaints (covered). No reduction indemnity at age 45 (women or men). House confinement not re-quired (except vacation or leave of absence). Mental Diseases (covered). Accidents while intoxicated (covered). No medical examination. Lack of "red tape."

This policy is much broader than anything that, can be ob-tained anywhere.

Occupational Policy In the case of accidents, you can

have an Occupational Policy or a Non-Occupational Policy. The Oc-cupational Policy covers all acci-dents occurring on the job as well as off the job, and the Non-Occupational Cove rage covers accidents occurring off the job only. You will find the difference comes under Plan I and Plan I I in the schedule rates shown below which was taken from the back of the application which is usu-ally used in the solicitation of this insurance.

The 24 aendeni coverage "Oc-cupation and Non-Occupational Accident. Coverage" was the policy originally issued: but because many employees, already protected by Workmen's Compensation while on duty, did not wish to pay their own money to buy additional pro-tection on the job, a new policy which protects during the 16 hours a day off duty, was issued —the Non-Occupational Policy.

Non-Occupational Policy

Let us now consider the non-

occupational policy in some detail. This is the coverage you now have. This policy gives first day accident protection for accidents while off duty for a five <5) year period. There is only one risk classification under this kind of coverage — only one pol icy—and the rates are the same for every-one, for all are in the same risk classification.

In the first place this is con-sidered the better protection and it has proved to be more popular. It was designed to fit the particu-lar conditions of State employees. The State does not protect its workers for accidents while on duty, but not off duty. The Group Plan protects the employee when the State does not, under this pol-icy, when he is off duty. Sickness, however, is covered at all times, whether covered by compensation or not. Thus complete protection is purchaseable at the lowest pos-sible cost.

Now as to cost. The semi-monthly rates are very low. Look at those quoted below:

Legislator Seeks Schools To Train State Employees For Better Positions

fpcoinl to The LEADER ALBANY, July 24—Assemblyman Wilson C. Van Duzer (Rep.,

Middletown) wants the State to establish inter-service training schools in its departments to help civil service employees qualify ior promotion.

He expects to introduce a bill to accomplish this purpose when the Legislature meets in January. He welcomes suggestions from state employees as to the scope of the bill.

"This is a procedure the Asso-ciation of State Civil Service Em-ployees has long advocated," he said.

"Promotion to the next higher grade are made as the result of examinations. I t is my be-lief that a school should be estab-lished in each State department to train office employees in de-partment practices.

Attendance Not Compulsory

" I would have attendance per-missive and I would have the class work performed by the pu-pils count as credit toward their promotion.

"Regular army offiicers in time of peace go to school five days a wreek several weeks each year to keep up with new developments in the art of war. There is no reason why civil service employees who are anxious to better their posi-tions should not go to school two evenings a week, in stated terms of study, to learn how to do their work more efficiently.

Evening Classes

"What I propose is that each Department of the State have schools in the Department two evenings a week running from 6:30 to 9:30 at which all kinds of present office practices in the de-partment would be taught, as well as new practices that may and may not be inaugurated. The schools would operate three terms a year of 12 weeks each, with no school during vacation periods.

"Thus the civil employee will learn not only about the duties of the next higher position, but also how to become more efficient in his present work.

"And I would have the class work graded and rated and when a student became fitted to perform the work of the next higher grade, I would have a certificate issued to him which would give him in some instances 100 per cent and in others a lesser percentage to-ward a promotional examination

State Employee' Copies Wanted

The Association ctf State Civil Service Employees desires extra copies of the "State Employee," October 1942 issue (Volume I I , Issue 7.)

The Association will be grate-ful to any employee who will send his copy of this issue to the Association, Room 156, State Capitol, Albany, N. Y.

dependent on human factors as well as initiative and general ability.

Promotion Questions

" In this way I would do away with foolish questions in promo-tional examinations, and I would provide that in any promotional examination hereafter held a ma-jority of the rating questions should be pertinent to the job to be filled. And I would go a step further and provide that the ques-tions to be asked should be sub-mitted to the department head to determine if they were fair and reasonable.

State Vacation Guide Books Are Released

Wif bin-Grade Increases, Personnel Ceiling and Pay Period in U.S. Law

[The first two instalments of the article analyzing the Federal Employees Pay Act of 1945 were published in the July 10 and 17 issues. The final instalment appears this week.—Editor.]

By H. J. BERNARD Member of the Federal Bar v

HAVING discussed (a), coverage and inclusion and (b), pay changes, including base pay, overtime, night differential and holiday pay, there now remain for

consideration within-grade increases, pay periods and personnel ceilings. The within-grade increases are speeded up under the act, and a rating of "good"

is declared sufficient for gaining this step-up promotion, but many of the considera-tions are covered by rules and regulations of the United States Civil Service Commis-sion and by administrative practice.

This article deals with the provisions oC the new law, but embodies some of the administrative procedure.

IV. Within-Graile

Advancement The service periods required for

attaining the next higher rate within grade are reduced to 12 months, from 18. if the increments are le?s than $200, and to 18 months from 20, if the increments are $200 or more. Limitations are: if equivalent increase was re-ceived meanwhile, except rewards for superior accomplishment; cur-rent efficiency rating must be "good" or better, and the depart-ment head must certify to service and co^uct otherwise satisfac-tory. .

July 1 began the first pay period to which the reduced service length applies.

Those who left Federal positions of any kind for service with the Armed Forces or the Merchant Marine, if honorably discharged, or otherwise entitled by legal per-mission to reinstatement, shall be entitled to the advancements without efficiency rating or cer-tificate of otherwise satisfactory service. This advantage also ac-crues to those who complied with war transfer regulations, but, by interpretation, not to those who transferred without such full com-pliance.

Employees otherwise entitled to reinstatement to a permanent position in the scope of the 1923 Classification Act are not pre-cluded from within-grade ad-vancement by any of the terms of the new law. &

Methods and Definition The commission's regulations

provide that in any change of efficiency rating, eligibility for salary advancement shall be based on the revised rating, and become retroactive to the date the em-ployee would have received the in-crease had no rating error been made.

The within-grade salary ad-vancements apply to all officers and employees other than those designated by law as temporary or established for definite periods of one year or less. Positions to which appointments are made under the War Service Regula-tions for the duration of the war and six months thereafter are permanent positions by definition. Within-grade advancements nat-urally apply only to those in the graded service, i.e., to employees subject to the Classification Act. The positions thus meant are those in the departmental and field service, in the executive, leg-islative and judicial branches, in Government - owned- or Govern ment-controlled corporations, and in the municipal government of the District of Columbia, whether the compensation for such munic-ipal employees was fixed under the Classification Act or by executive action in accordance with the compensation schedules of that act.

Equivalent Increase "Equivalent increase in com-

pensation" means any increase or increases in basic compensation which in total, at the time such increase or increases are made, are equal to or greater than the compensation increment in the

lowest grade in which the em-ployee has served during the pe-riod (12 or 18 months). The following are not "equivalent in-creases in compensation": One— Basic pay rate increases under the F.E.P. Act of 1945. Two— Re-wards for superior accomplish-ment, as set forth in the same act. Three—Increases as the result of a new min imum rate for any class of positions to correct gross in-equalities, by moving an employee up the pay scale, but not beyond the middle of pay of the grade in which he is. The fourth rate of a six-rate grade shall be considered the middle of that grade.

Action by the commission in these cases shall apply both to the departmental and field serv-ices and shall have the force and effect of law. These adjustments of inequalities are distinguished from the periodic within-grade adjustments (increments) for which the waiting period has been reduced.

While the commission is to act on the cases of inequality, and report annually to Congress, the commission may delegate to the head of any department or agency, or to his designated rep-resentative, the authority to ap-prove additional within-grade compensations for superior ac-complishments, within the limit of available appropriations. The commission is to report these in-creases to Congress annually, also.

V. Pay Periods Beginning not later than Oc-

tober 1, 1945, each pay period for all officers and employees of the several departments and indepen-dent establishments and agencies in the executive branch, including Government-owned or controlled corporations, and the District of Columbia municipal government, except officers and employees on the Isthmus of Panama in t«he service of the Panama Canal or the Panama Railroad Company, shall cover two administrative

work weeks. The 26 pay periods a year under the new law contrast with prior practice of two pay periods a month, 24 a year. I f a pay period begins in one year and ends in another, the gross amount is to be a charge against the appropriation existing at the end of the pay period.

Actually, almost all agencies and departments converted to the new pay period beginning with the July 1 period (checks received third week in July).

Conversions of pay are as fol-lows: multiply a monthly rate by 12 to obtain the annual rate; the weekly rate by 2080 to obtain the hourly rate; multiply the the houruly rate; multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours worked per day to obtain the daily rate.

VI. Personnel Ceilings

A provision in the pa# bill that received very little public atten-tion was one that called upon the departments, agencies, etc, in the executive branch to terminate the employment of such employees as are not required for the proper and efficient performance of the functions of these Government subdivisions.

The department heads must re-port to the Director of the Bud-get, at least quarterly, the number of full-time civilian employees, including dollar-a-year men, re-quired by them within the United States for proper discharge of the duties of these departments and agencies. The number of neces-sary employees must be reported within sixty days of July 1, 1945 and "any personnel. . in excess thereof shall be released . . at such times as the Director shall order."

Periodic reports are required of the department and agency heads.

Section 607, stating the econ-omy policy, is entitled "Personnel Ceilings."

Questions Answered On New U. 5. Pay Law

Sayre as OP A Director Of Personnel Injects Life into Promotions

Bv CHARLES SULLIVAN Special to The L E A D E R

WASHINGTON, July 24—Many of Wallace S. Sayre's friends in NYC and Long Island must be wonder-ing what he has been doing since he was a Municipal Civil Service Commissioner in NYC. The answer is he has been doing right well by the United States Government. He is responsible for all OPA personnel in the U. S. and territories, is a member of the OPA management staff and thus has a hand in budget, planning, management of boards and administration. That's all.

Mr. Sayre has his hands full staffing OPA's 92 district of-fices, 400 area cen-tal offices, 5,000 lo-cal boards and four territorial o f f i c es with 55,000 paid em-ployees, not includ-ing volunteers and panel workers.

H e h a s g i v e n careful implementa-tion to the govern-ment's merit promo-tion program. Un-like NYC promotion it does not involve competitive exami-nation. Anyone who has done work over and above the require-ments of his job is eligible for merit promotion.

He has set up a committee to judge the merits of all cases.

Mr. Sayre, a Ph.D. formerly on the faculty of New York Univer-sity, first served the OPA as an Assistant Director of Fuel Ration-ing, both gasoline and fuel oil. For the last year and a half he has been Director of Personnel.

His big job is recruitment for offices all over the country.

The professional staff, which includes about 1,500 in Washing-ton and some 10,600 in the field, represents practically every phase of American industry.

A Word About the Future

"We had to develop a team of businessmen, lawyers and econo-mists," Mr. Sayre said.

" I t required all three types to

WALLACE S. SAYRE

develop price administration, be-cause it involves business, legal and economic knowledge, and there were no such things as price or rationing experts as we know them now."

Mr. Sayre's biggest headache is to retain his staff, because many are needed back in industry. OPA's work will not diminish until after V-J Day, he said.

Asked about the future of his employees, Mr. Sayre said it all depended on what the Govern-ment planned to do. Doubtless many employees would find per-manent places in government, but the majority would likely return to the professions and industry, * he believed.

Mr. Sayre has native good hu-mor. likes hard work and enjoys his burdensome job in the manner that the photograph suggests.

Burns Hails Promotions Under New Pay Act

Special to The L E A D E R

WASHINGTON, July 24—James B. Burns, national president of the American Federation of Government Em-ployees (AFL), hailed as good news the fact that the basic compensation increase under the new Federal Pay Act "will not affect the working of the within-grade pro-motion plan."

Raise and Increment Add Up DOES THE fact that my basic

compensation was raised under the new Pay Act preclude the re-ceipt of in-grade promotion (in my case $100) because of the raise constitutes an equivalent increase?—J. V. O.

No. The basic rates of compen-sation under section 13 of the Classification Act of 1923, as amended by section 405 of the Federal Employees Pay Act of 1945, were set forth in a table published on page 10 of last week's issue of The LEADER (July 17). For purposes of comparison the old rates were listed immediately below the revised rates. The Act provides that the increase in ex-isting rates of basic compensa-tion provided by section 405 shall not be construed to be an "equivalent increase" in compen-sation within the meaning of the within-grade salary advance plan provided by section 7 of the Class-ification Act of 1923, as amended.

increased by section 405 of the 1945 Act. I n other words, each of the existing basic rates of com-pensation specifically prescribed by statute is increased to form a new basic rate by the following method: Add to each such rate 20 per cent of that part thereof which is not in excess of $1,200 a year. To this sum, add 10 per cent of that part of the existing basic rate which is in excess of $1,200 a year but not in excess of $4,600 a year. Tp this sum, add 5 per cent of that part of the ex-isting basic rate which is in ex-cess of $4,600 a year.

Other Employees Raised ALTHOUGH the 1945 law gives

raises to employees subject to the Classification Act, what other em-ployees are included under other statutes that give them a raise, too?-_E. G.

Under section 602 (b) of the Federal Employees Act of 1945 basic rates of compensation spe-cifically prescribed by statute other than the Classification Act of 1923, as amended, for positions in the executive branch of the Federal Government or the Dis-trict of Columbia are increased in the same manner as basic rates under the Classification Act, are

He added: "Any employees who have pro-

mum within-grade salary ad-vancement is $666.

Example of Protection

Protection for the Low-Paid

PLEASE explain the saving clause in the new law to protect low-paid employees from suffer-ing a pay cut.—J. O.

Sec. 603 (a) pertains to certain employee groups in the lower-salary brackets, if they work full time and received basic com-pensation of $1,800 or less. The protection ceases whenever the employee no longer occupies the position he occupied on June 30, 1945. Thus, a separation from his June 30, 1945, position, or a transfer or promotion to a differ-ent position or agency, or a reassignment to a position of different duties and responsibili-tees, makes the saving provision inapplicable. Also a permanent increase in the employee's basic rate, such as a periodic within-grade salary advancement, will take the employee outside the purview of section 603 (a). The amounts that will be payable un-der section 603 (a) will range from $6 to $60 a year. The mini-

K INDLY show by example how the new law could have operated against a low-paid employee, ex-cept for the special protection afforded to him in that same law. —E. G. V.

The gain under the new law could be more than offset by the loss of the $300 a year compen-sation in lieu of overtime (.War Overtime Pay Act of 1943). For instance, an employee who does not work overtime received on June 30, 1945, receives a basic salary rate of $1,200 and gets the $300. His total June 30, 1945 rate is $1,500 a year. On July 1, 1945, his basic rate would be increased from $1,200 to $1,440, and this would be his total rate, because he does not work overtime. To prevent the reduction in his total compensation from $1,500 to $1,440 on July- 1, 1945, Sec. 603 (a grants him $60 a year addi-tional compensation in order to equal the guaranteed minimum of $1,200 plus $300, or $1,550.

motions in prospect will get them at the end of 12 or 18 months from the time they received their last advancements."

He explained that advance-ments will not be retroactive.

He figured that in the entire Government service about 2,000,-000 of the 2,987,000 employees will continue to work 48 hours.

The pay bill, he said, will also simplify pay procedure, by hav-ing workers paid every two weeks instead of twice a month, and ul-timately make pay days regular.

General Bradley's Column By Brigadier General John J. Bradley (Ret.)

Army Announces Policy For Men Who Wish to Stay In After the War

THE Army has announced its policy governing appointments and enlistments in the Organized Reserves. The Circular 'No. 194)

states the conditions under which highest active duty grades will be offered to all officers of the Army except those of the Regular Army.

An intensive drive is about to begin to offer Reserve Corps commissions to officers being re-lieved from active duty.

The information is of utmost importance to men particularly officers, now in the Army and to those who have already returned to civilian life. I print below the pertinent sections of the circular.

V. A. Day by Day

The Veterans Administration is in for a thorough shakeup and streamlining, was the report re-ceived by this ^reporter this past week during a visit to Washington. The entire phase of Field Activ-ities will definitely be checked into, and many changes may be expected.

Many employees at the NYC branch of Central Office have had to work close to 51 hours a week, and still the backlog is large.

Several veterans of World War I I working at V.A. in NYC, it is reported, have had various com-ments directed at them since they have had to take time off for their disabilities. Some are reported to have resigned to enter a hospital for treatment, rather than to get leave without pay and kept on the roll. Yet I hear " X " was out eight weeks, didn't have one day coming to her either under annual or sick leave, but was paid in full and carried on the roll.

Union Men See Need To Recodify C. S. Law

Gals at 2 Lafayette Street Cor-respondence complain of CAF-4's and 5's being stationed in the ladies' room to see that the em-ployees don't wash their faces and comb their hair at government expense.

Many members of the VA typ-ing and stenography pool at 2 Lafayette Street discovered that they now will be receiving under the new Pay Law—minus taxes and other deductions—just what the job called for in the first place, $34 a week.

A preliminary conference of municipal locals on legislative proposals to be submitted to the regional conference of the State Federation of Labor (AFL) will be held on August 4 and 5 at the Hotel Commodore, NYC, from 1 to 5 p.m. each day. James Dugan of the NYC Department of Sani-tation, head of Council 30, will preside.

The regional conference will be held in three parts, ot minimize transportation: Buffalo, Aug. 13, Hotel Statler; Syracuse, Aug. 15, Hotel Syracuse, and NYC, Aug. 17, Hotel Commodore. The meet-ings on each day will be from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 2:30 to 5 p.m.

The regional conference in NYC will be attended by representa-tives of locals of that city and of Auburn, Poughkeepsie, Niagara Falls, Schenectady, Buffalo, King-ston, Elmira, Little Falls, New-burgh, Albany, Troy, Binghamton and 'Saratoga Springs. All are municipal employees.

One proposal to be submitted to the State Federation is that a State commission be recom-mended, to recodify the civil serv-ice law end include such amend-ments as would simplify and clar-ify it. The union pointed out that there hasn't been a recodification in many years.

A study of the civil service leg-islative record at the last session has just been completed on behalf of the union.

Note was also made of the rec-ord number of civil service law suits in this State. This was ascribed to the many precedents established, a tribute to the pri-

macy of this State in civil serv-ice safeguards; the lack of cor-relation of the various laws affecting civil service; the greater alertness of employees of the State and its subdivisions, and the large number of State and City employees within the State, second only to that working in the whole Federal government.

The other day this reporter hap-pened to get into a discussion with several big shots at VA and was told:

"Just how do you expect the VA to do more than merely proc-ess a veteran when he reports to us after discharge?"

The answer this reporter made was:

"Processing is all right, but it means much more than sitting down with a veteran, letting h im tell the interviewer what he de-sires, and then putting all that down on a special form. I t means much more than helping h im to make out a form for schooling ox-claim for pension.

I t means really proving of serv-ice to him, and not making him come back time in and 'out . "

Cases for pension, death bene-fits, insurance and total disability have been lying about and the veterans and their dependents for months have attempted vainly to expedite them. General Frank T. Hinos had admitted the exist-ence of this backlog.

Irt the NYC branch of Central Office many of the Chiefs, now CAF—7, 8, 9 and 10, were not so long ago CAF—2, 3, 4 and Clerk—5. The jump started in June, 1942.

The staff must be treated well and instructed properly before it can do a job properly. Employees making inquiry are not always "friction cases" or agitators" to be taken care of at rating period.

New UFA Officers Ready With Complete Program

The newly-elected officers of the Uniformed Firemen's Association were preparing for formal induction on Wed-nesday, August 8, at headquarters of the organization, 63 Park Row.

By that time, it was learned, the new Executive Board, headed by President John Crane, will have ready for presentation to the men a tentative program for action to further the interests of the firemen, help toward im-proved firefighting, and to pro-tect the merit system in the de-partment. The organization is adopting a policy of publicizing its views and actions, and keeping the men in the department fully informed of all matters in their interest.

I n the run-off elections held last week, six additional firemen were named to office. They are:

Frank Mott, H & L, Financial and recording secretary.

Bill Bars Pay Cuts In Building Trades

Special to The L E A D E R

WASHINGTON. July 24—Fed-eral building trades workers and other hourly workers not under the Classification Act are pro-tected from pay cuts under a bill introduced by Senator Lan-ger (Rep., N. Dak.).

The measure would save them from loss of salary when the Government's reduced 40-hour work week goes into effect. I t provides that such workers con-tinue to be paid on the basis of a 48-hour week with actual work-ing hours to be cut to 40 as soon as conditions permit.

Senator Langer said that if hourly workers are paid on the basis of a 40-hour week their salary would be the same as it Was in 1925.
